Can you sell a kidney to keep 'Janu-worry' at bay? True to form, arguably South Africa’s longest financial month of the year is refusing to end. Dubbed "Janu-worry", we keep counting those coins, trying to stretch those notes, but to no avail. Tweeting to his over 9 000 followers, Metro FM DJ and TV producer Rashid Kay offered a possible solution: "get money" by donating a grocery list of organs and body tissue. The replies didn’t disappoint. Some people were eager to help find new homes for their hearts - but at a fee, of course. Levity aside, what are the legalities of donating organs in South Africa? One of our readers was understandably curious, so we did what fact-checkers do and tried to get to, well, the heart of the matter. Africa Check tried to get a hold of Kay to find out where exactly he got the information shared, but at the time of publication we hadn’t heard back from him. (Note: We’ll update this report should he respond.) His tweet listed South Africa’s department of health as the source of information. However, a phone call to the department’s head of communications, Popo Maja, helped set things straight. Maja told Africa Check that this wasn’t his first run-in with this particular claim. "It did the rounds about May last year. The same tweet. I don’t know where it comes from, but what I’m saying is, it’s part of the fake news," he explained. "That’s because it’s illegal to trade in human organs or parts in South Africa," Maja said. "You can donate organs," he went on to explain, "but not for financial gain, at all." So in short, if you’re looking for a payday, keep your organs. But if you’re in the market for saving a life, consider donating.

A I D A

1. I have a friend named Monty Roberts who owns a horse ranch in San Ysidro. He has let me use his house to

put on fund-raising events to raise money for youth- at- risk programs. 2. The last time I was there he introduced me by saying, “I want to tell you why I let Jack use my horses. It all

goes back to a story about a young man who was the son of an itinerant horse trainer who would go from

stable to stable, race track to race track, farm to farm and ranch to ranch, training horses. As a result, the boy’s high school career was continually interrupted. When he was a senior, he was asked to write a paper in

his Life Skills class about what he wanted to be and do when he grew up. 3. “That night he wrote a seven-page paper describing his goal of someday owning a horse ranch. He wrote

about his dream in great detail and he even drew a diagram of a 200-acre ranch, showing the location of all

the buildings, the stables and the track. Then he drew a detailed floor plan for a 4,000-square-foot house that would sit on a 200-acre dream ranch.

4. “He put a great deal of his heart into the project and the next day he handed it in to his teacher. Two days later he received his paper back. On the front page was a large red F with a note that read, `See me after

class.’ 5. “The boy with the dream went to see the teacher after class and asked, `Why did I receive an F?’ 6. “The teacher said, `This is an unrealistic dream for a young boy like you. You have no money. You come from

an itinerant family. You have no resources. Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of money. You have to buy the land. You have to pay for the original breeding stock and later you’ll have to pay large stud fees. There’s no

way you could ever do it.’ Then the teacher added, `If you will re-write this paper with a more realistic goal, I will re-consider your grade.’

7. “The boy went home and thought about it long and hard. He asked his father what he should do. His father

said, `Look, son, you have to make up your own mind on this. However, I think it is a very important decision

for you.’ “Finally, after sitting with it for a week, the boy turned in the same paper, making no changes at all.

8. He stated, “You can keep the F and I’ll keep my dream.” 9. Monty then turned to the assembled group and said, “I tell you this story because you are sitting in my 4,000-

square-foot house in the middle of my 200-acre horse ranch. I still have that school paper framed over the fireplace.” He added, “The best part of the story is that two summers ago that same schoolteacher brought 30 kids to camp out on my ranch for a week.” When the teacher was leaving, he said, “Look, Monty, I can tell you

this now. When I was your teacher; I was somewhat of a dream stealer. During those years I stole a lot of kids’

dreams – fortunately you had enough gumption not to give up on yours.”

10. “Don’t let anyone steal your dreams. Follow your heart, no matter what.”

QUESTION ONE: COMPREHENSION REMEMBER TO USE YOUR OWN WORDS AND FULL SENTENCES! 1.1 What did the boy’s father do for a living and how did this affect him? (2) 1.2 The story is American. In this country, which Learning area would you be working in, when you are expected

to complete a similar career-oriented task? (1)

1.3 In no more than ten of your own words, write down the teacher’s primary reason for believing that the boy could never own such a ranch. (1)

1.4 Why did the boy choose NOT to change the project even though it would have improved his marks? Use your own words and pay attention to expression. (2)

1.5 What is the primary business of the horse ranch? (1) 1.6 What does the owner also allow the ranch to be used for? Remember to use your OWN words. (1) 1.7 How do you know the teacher has changed? (2)

[10] QUESTION TWO: LANGUAGE YOU DON’T HAVE TO USE FULL SENTENCES WHEN YOU ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS.

2 The boy went home and thought about it carefully.

2.1 Analyse all the underlined words in the above sentence according to the part of speech. Be detailed, e.g.: was = auxiliary verb (transitive, finite) (5)

2.2. What type of sentence is the above sentence? Simple, compound or complex? (1) 2.3. Break: “The boy went home” into subject and predicate. Indicate clearly. (2) 2.4. Quote a compound adjective from paragraph 3. Remember to use quotation marks. (1) 2.5. Quote an example of slang from paragraph 9. Remember to use quotation marks.

Activity 50: PROVERBS AND IDIOMS If you say, “The cat's out of the bag” instead of “The secret is given away,” you're using an idiom. The meaning of an idiom is different from the actual meaning of the words used. “An apple a day keeps the doctor away” is a proverb. Proverbs are old but familiar sayings that usually give advice. Both idioms and proverbs are part of our daily speech. Many are very old and have interesting histories. See how many of these sayings you know. “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” This proverb comes from the ancient Romans, who believed the apple had magical powers to cure illness. In fact, apples are filled with vitamin C, protein, pectin, natural sugars, copper, and iron. They do promote health. To “climb on the bandwagon.” Long ago, bands on the platforms of traveling wagons played music to announce a parade or political speech. To show their support, people would often jump onto the platform and join the band. Today, this idiom usually refers to someone who hopes to benefit from supporting another person's idea. “Saved by the bell.” In 17th-century England, a guard at Windsor Castle was accused of falling asleep at his post. He claimed he was wrongly accused and could prove it; he had heard the church bell chime 13 times at midnight. Townspeople supported his claim and he was not executed. Today we think of the bell that ends a round in boxing, often saving the boxer from injury, or the bell at the end of a class period, saving you from more work. Regardless, this idiom means rescue from a situation at the last possible moment. “Bury the hatchet.” Native Americans used to bury weapons to show that fighting had ended and enemies were now at peace. Today, the idiom means to make up with a friend after an argument or fight. To “have a chip on one's shoulder.” In nineteenth-century America, a boy who thought he was pretty tough would put a wood chip on his shoulder and dare anyone to knock it off. Today the idiom refers to anyone who is “touchy” or takes offense easily. Bakers once gave an extra roll for every dozen sold, so a baker's dozen is 13. “A close shave.” In the past, student barbers learned to shave on customers. If they shaved too close, their clients might be cut or even barely escape serious injury. Today, we use this idiom if a person narrowly escapes disaster. “Dot the i's and cross the t's.” When only handwritten documents were used, it was very important for the clerk to write everything properly, especially letters like i and t, which could easily be confused. The idiom has since come to mean paying attention to every little detail.

What attracts your attention? It is usually the

picture of the product, logo of the product or the big bold

writing and even the colour of the advert.

Who is this product aimed at or who is the target

market? (BOYS,GIRLS,DAD,GRANNY, SPORTSMAN, ETC)

What desire does it appeal to according to

Maslow’s hierarchy of needs?

What must we do to own this product? Is it hard

sell or soft sell? Often we can order the product online or

buy it in a store. A product is hard sell when all the details

of how much, when and where we can buy the product- in

other words they give us all the details in order to sell the

product. If it is soft sell there are little details on how to

buy this product or how much it costs.

Instructions: Give the figurative meaning of the following Idioms or proverbs. Write

only the explanation in your books. 1.1. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush 1.2 A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step 1.3 A chain is only as strong as its weakest link 1.4 A change is as good as a rest 1.5 .

Activity 53

Read the newspaper article and answer the questions that follow in your book. Answer in full sentences, and number in the middle of the page. The youngest rain queen to date, aged 10, will be inaugurated next year as Queen Modjadji VII by the people of Bolobedu in Limpopo. This announcement was made by the Modjadji royal family on Saturday amid allegations that the future queen, Masalanabo Modjadji, had been neglected by those claiming to care for her, Capricorn Review reported. The clan has been without a rain queen for a little more than 10 years after Masalanabo’s aunt, Makobo Constance Modjadji, who was Queen Modjadji VI, passed away in 2005. Mathole Motshekga, attorney for the Modjadji dynasty, said Masalanabo was taken away from her family soon after the death of her mother. Motshekga said some years after she was taken away from the royal family, the family received information that the child was being neglected. “On hearing this, the family appointed me as a special investigator, and it was subsequently found that the child was indeed being neglected. “She was in and out of school for no apparent reason. “She was later withdrawn from a school in Magoebaskloof and was found in Kimberley, where she was hidden in a shack made of logs that did not even have any windows,” Motshekga said. “She had not been properly fed or dressed. A special tutor was arranged for her since she was behind with her syllabus. “The department of education has now approved her to be placed in Grade 5,” he further explained. Motshekga said after consultation with the Office of the Presidency and the department of arts and culture, it had been concluded that Masalanabo is ready to take her rightful place as the queen of the Balobedu clan. “We are still in talks with those privy to the inauguration of Masalanabo as the new queen of the Balobedu clan and the celebrating of the accord,” he said. Modjadji Royal Council chairperson and spokesperson for the Modjadji royal family, John Modjadji, recently said the Modjadjis were the only dynasty in the world with rare rainmaking powers and were able to speak to their ancestors using a magical horn. He further confirmed that Masalanabo would soon take her rightful place as rain queen but said the matter was too momentous for him to discuss with the media. – Caxton News Service

Dear Diary 13 May 2020

Today I started my new job at our local dentist. I was

excited but very nervous at the same time. You know

how everyone dreads going to them? I finally know why!

A client came in to get a few rotten teeth removed, boy

was it memorable. His heart-wrenching screams will

definitely haunt my dreams tonight. I am not sure if I

want to go back tomorrow, the dentist was friendly, but

I am not sure I can handle the daily horror-movie sound

effects.

Anyway, I don’t think returning to my job tomorrow is a

choice. The sad reality is that my mother “IS” the

dentist!

CHILDHOOD

I used to think that grown-up people chose

To have stiff backs and wrinkles round their nose,

And veins like small fat snakes on either hand,

On purpose to be grand.

Till through the banisters I watched one day

My Great-Aunt Betty’s friend who was going away,

And how her onyx beads had come unstrung.

I saw her grope to find them as they rolled;

And then I knew she was helplessly old,

As I was helplessly young.

Francis Cornford.

If strolling through the woods one day,

Right there in front of you, you saw

A pig who'd built his house of STRAW?

The Wolf who saw it licked his lips,

And said, ``That pig has had his chips.''

``Little pig, little pig, let me come in!''

``No, no, by the hairs on my chinny-chin-chin!''

``Then I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow your house in!''

The little pig began to pray,

But Wolfie blew his house away.

He shouted, ``Bacon, pork and ham!

Oh, what a lucky Wolf I am!''

And though he ate the pig quite fast,

He carefully kept the tail till last.

Wolf wandered on, a trifle bloated.

Surprise, surprise, for soon he noted

Another little house for pigs,

And this one had been built of TWIGS!

``Little pig, little pig, let me come in!''

``No, no, by the hairs on my chinny-chin-chin!''

``Then I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow your house in!''

The Wolf said, ``Okay, here we go!''

He then began to blow and blow.

The little pig began to squeal.

He cried, ``Oh Wolf, you've had one meal!

Why can't we talk and make a deal?”

The Wolf replied, ``Not on your nelly!''

And soon the pig was in his belly.

``Two juicy little pigs!'' Wolf cried,

``But still I'm not quite satisfied!

I know how full my tummy's bulging,

But oh, how I adore indulging.''

So creeping quietly as a mouse,

The Wolf approached another house,
