A28-year old motherwas arrested andappeared in theUitenhage Magis-trate Court lastThursday, after her

10-month old baby died last weekTuesday, two weeks after he wasseverely injured during a domes-tic dispute between his parents.

It is alleged that the mother, Lau-retta van der Ranse, was involved inan argument with Roshan Swartz(24), her boyfriend and father of herchild at their home in Blikkiesdorp,Kamesh on Christmas Day when theincident happened.

“Wewere drinking all day long andlater that day Roshan told Laurettashe had had toomuch to drink and asthe mother of the toddler she shouldstop.

“Anargument broke out and anan-gry Lauretta picked up the baby boy(Shewan Swartz) and threw him athis father. He fell to the ground,” saidPretty Swartz (28), Roshan’s sister.

While Roshan picked up the baby,Pretty threw herself at Lauretta andthey started fighting, she told PE Ex-press Indaba.

Lauretta allegedly broke an emptybottle and tried to stab Pretty in theface. She blocked with her arm andended up suffering a stab wound onher arm.

According to police spokesperson,Warrant Officer Gerda Swart, themother left the house only to comeback the following day.

“She returned thenextdayandwastold to take thebaby formedical treat-ment but refused to do so,” said W/OSwart.

On learning about the incident on5 January, members of the SAPS inKamesh immediately took thebaby to

the Provincial Hospital where hewasadmitted before being transferred tothe PE hospital.

He later died of injuries sustainedin the incident.

Laurettawas grantedR500 bail, butwas only able to pay R300. MagistrateJohan Meyer insisted that she paidthe whole amount owing to the seri-ousness of the case.

The case has been postponed toFebruary 27.

THE Department of Education inthe Eastern Cape is ready to deliv-er on the promise of ensuring thatall schools are resourced with theLearner Teacher Support Materi-al (LTSM).

This according to Department ofEducation spokesperson, Malibong-we Mtima, who said learning will betaking place from the first day of thenew school year (today) in the fulfil-ment of the Eastern Cape Depart-ment of Education’s plan to increasethe pass rate of 61.6% last year.

Despite improving slightly on the58.1 % pass rate of the previous year,the Eastern Cape still had the lowestmatric pass rate in the country.

By Thursday last week, Mtima

said his department had already dis-tributed 85% of textbooks and 98% ofstationery to all its schools across theprovince.

The SA Democratic Teachers Un-ion (Sadtu) in the province is, howev-er, less optimistic about the start ofthe school year because of what theycall “the unilateral declaration ofteaching posts for 2013 in the prov-ince by the Education MEC (MandlaMakupula).

According to Sadtu Provincial Sec-retary Mncekeleli Ndongeni the postprovisioning in 2013 is 4 000 less thanthe posts declared in 2012.

“Only 60 850 posts have been de-clared for 2013 - a significant cut from64 752 posts declared in 2012 whichwas a further decline from the 69 390posts declared in 2010,” said Ndon-geni.

“We are concerned about what this

will do to the delivery of quality edu-cation in the province as we are go-ing to be confronted by a teachershortage which will be a further set-back in our attempt to respond to thechallenges facing education.”

National Professional TeachersOrganisation of SA (Naptosa) in theEastern Cape believes the challengesstaring education in the face in theprovince relate to a workforce inwhich the average foot soldiers areunder capacitated.

Naptosa EC Chief Executive Offic-er Peter Duminy added that the Edu-cation Department has “a communi-cation network that creaks like arusty donkey cart, leading to infor-mation and instructions arriving fartoo late in districts and school officesfor effective planning and implemen-tation of administrative and curricu-lum matters.”

According to Duminy, Naptosahas taken note of the steps an-nounced by the Department such asthe improvement of school leader-ship, increased provisioning of re-sources and information and mobi-lising communities at schools,among other steps.

“We would, however, like to seethat each and every step taken in theprocess will have specific targets en-visaged for the year 2013,” said Du-miny.

Lack of communication of the Edu-cation Department’s managementplans is also one of the concernsraised by the South African TeachersUnion.

According to Jan Stroebel, the newchairman of the South AfricanTeachers Union and headmaster atFramesby High School, one of thebiggest challenges facing all schools

is the uncertainty, especially with re-gard to the filling of vacant posts.

“Up to now, we have yet to receivea management plan from the depart-ment with definite guidelines as towhat is going to be done,” he said.

“There are many schools with anumber of vacancies and it is diffi-cult to start a new school year with-out all the necessary staff. We wouldlike to see that every school in thisprovince has the number of staff asprovided for in the post provision-ing,” said Stroebel.

He said that as a union they wouldlike to take a positive approach tosolve the problems facing educationin the Eastern Cape.

“It wouldn’t help if we just sat backand complained. We want to takehands with the department and worktogether to find solutions,” said Stro-ebel.

A new private school, which will ca-ter for paying pupils as well as needychildren, such as streetchildren, whoin the past did not have access to qual-ity education, will open its doors forthe first time today.

The Urban Academy, situated inconverted buildings across from theNew Post Office in Govan Mbeki Ave-nue, will educate learners from GradeR to grade 12. This year’s intake will,however, be only to grade 11. Withregistrationtakingplacelastweek,anintake of between 300 and 500 pupilsis expected with a staff complement of

24, according to the school’s newly ap-pointed headmaster, Chris Cronje.

EstablishingtheschoolinPortEliz-abeth is the brainchild of Cronje, whohas been in the education field for 37years as teacher and as principal.

“Our main aim is to make a differ-ence and give something back to thecommunity. Education, especially intheEasternCape, is indirestraits.Wewilloffereducationthroughtheuseofmodern methodology that has provensuccessful. We plan to offer privateschool education at a significantlylower fee than Model C schools,” saidCronje.

Urban Academy is another exten-sion of a Johannesburg-based project,

giving hope to children at risk.“The mission of Urban Academy is

to pursue and maintain excellence inall spheres of school life – academicand sports. It is the aim of the schoolto produce adults who are independ-ent thinkers,havephysicalandmoralcourage, who are articulate, well-mannered and tolerant, educated inthewidestsenseof theword, sensitiveto the needs of others and dedicatedto the service of the community as awhole,” said Cronje.

The parents of students that per-form to a set academic standard willreceive a rebate on school fees for thenext term.

“We believe that successful educa-

tion is a partnership between thehome and the school. An atmosphereof openness, mutual trust and respectmust exist amongst partners - par-ents, students and staff,” he said.

According to Cronje, the Academywill fill the gap between Governmentschools (including previously so-called Model C schools) on the oneside and private institutions on theother end of the spectrum – offeringquality and affordable education tothose not being able to get enrolled inthe ‘successful’ schools and choosingnot to attend the ‘township schools’where the educational outcome issometimes very poor.

The full curriculum, according to

the National Protocol, will be offeredwith classes from grade 1 to grade 12,as well as matric “upgrade” classes intheafternoon.Therewillalsobeanaf-ter-school care centre.

They will also offer rehabilitationand counselling for those in need,street children and those that are bat-tling to keep up or catch up.

The Academy will also offer a lan-guage laboratory for students and pri-vate individuals (adults) in need ofimproving their comprehension ofthe English language, as well as amathematic/numeracy laboratoryfor its own students, as well as stu-dents from any other educational in-stitution in need of improving.

PE EXPRESS REPORTER

THE Nelson Mandela Bay Business Chamberwill lodge an objection to the National EnergyRegulator of South Africa (NERSA) at publichearings in PE today (January 16).

In a statement issued last week the BusinessChamber said it believed that business and do-mestic consumers should educate themselvesabout what Eskom’s proposed 16% increase eve-ry year for the next five years means for theirbudgets and the bottom line.

Acting for the Business Chamber, AngusClark, head of the Chamber’s Strategic Resourc-es Task Team, will lodge the objection at thepublichearing inabid toprevent thepotentiallydisastrous effects of the proposed price hikes.Eskom has applied for the increase to fund itsbuilding programmes.

“The Business Chamber is going out to bat forbusiness and consumers alike,” said NelsonMandela Bay Business Chamber CEO KevinHustler. “The bills will only continue to rise asmunicipalities add on a percentage to the baseamount as income. Electricity tariffs are quick-

ly reaching their tipping point. Domestic con-sumers have to dig ever deeper into their empty-ing pockets, and businesses face the harsh reali-ty of closing up shop.”

Eskom’s proposed increase in the MYPD3(Multi-Year Price Determination) will have anegative and significant effect on business. “En-ergy-hungry businesses will lose their competi-tiveness, and in some cases even face closure ifinput costs are not reduced,” maintained Clark.

Domestic consumers will not be spared, andthe Chamber urges the general public to pre-pare for monthly electricity costs to effectivelydouble by 2018. “Domestic users currently pay-ing just under R900 per month for electricitywill face a R2000 bill for similar usage, come2018.”

Small and medium business owners will nothave an easier time of it as the cost per unit esca-lates. “Smaller businesses will end up passingthe increase on to the customer. Customers willplace smaller orders, or make use of their serv-ices less often. This places the small businessin jeopardy. Businesses close, people lose theirjobs, and the buying power of the man on thestreet diminishes,” said Clark.

BOXING South Africa (BSA) Di-rector of Operations Loyiso Mtyahas warned boxers over the age of35 years who were inactive formore than 12 months not to regis-ter for licensing for this financialyear starting on 31 March 2013.

BSA, accordingMtya, will not al-low old boxers in the ring, he said.

“This is in accordance with Box-ing SA Act (Act 11, of 2001),” saidMtya.

According to the Act, a boxer ap-plying for a new licence should be“no less than 18 years and no morethan 35 years of age.”

A boxer that has been inactivefor a period of 12 months must, ac-cording to BSA Act, apply for anew licence.

“If a boxer older than 35 yearshas been inactive for a year, his li-cence application is regarded asnew and it will therefore be re-fused, said Mtya.

BSA according to Mtya is flexi-ble only in the case of boxers fight-

ing in the heavier divisions. Theseare very few boxers whose fightsare very few, he said.

“Still, a boxer must have beenregistered at the time of inactiv-ity for BSA to grant a licenceeven above the age of 35,” saidMtya.

Nelson Mandela Bay BSA Serv-ice provider Mthunzi Mapitizawelcomed Mtya’s call.

He said, “This is law. I actuallynever had a problem with refusinginactive old boxers a right to cam-paign in the ring.”

Buying AFCON tickets is the former Wide Awake Cricket Club player Zola Manyisana. With him are Brighton Superspar ticketprinter and seller Phumeza Jamani, Andiswa Lupuwana (promotions manager) and Adriaan Terblanche (store manager).
