2 KALAHARI BULLETIN, DONDERDAG 19 JUNIE 2014
DIE Kalahari Bulletin het verlede week
oor die Kuruman-buurtwag verslag
gedoen.
Die buurtwag benodig nog lede om
patrollies te ry om sodoende die
veiligheid van Kuruman se inwoners te
verseker.
Vir die voertuie wat die patrollies
doen, is daar spesiale magneet-plakkers
beskikbaar. Inwoners kan ook n
buurtwag-bord by Papas Digital
Printing and Signs vir hul huis koop.
Daar is ook tweerigtingradios, groen
ligte om op die voertuie se dakke te
sit en soekligte by Be-Pro Secure
(voorheen Roos-sekuriteit) beskikbaar.
Kry jou aansluitingvorms by die
kantoor van die Bulletin om by die
buurtwag aan te sluit (net oorkant
Pick n Pay in die hoofstraat).
Die buurtwag se korrekte nommer is
079-253-0283.
Veiligheid eerste
NA onlangse aanvalle op tieners word
inwoners van Kuruman en omgewing
gemaan om paraat te wees en hulself te
beskerm teen aanvalle.
)Moenie in die dorp rondloop met jou
selfoon en beursie in jou hand nie jy
maak van jouself n teiken.
)Moenie op stil, donker plekke stop nie.
)Moet nooit regs langs iemand stilhou nie.
Behou n veilige afstand van ander voertuie
sodat jy kan optree indien jy aangeval
word.
)Moet nooit jou ruit ooplos nie en maak
seker jou motor se deure is gesluit.
)Maak seker jou motor gesluit as jy by
winkels stop en voel aan alle deure om te
verseker dat dit wl gesluit is. Booswigte
wat jou motor se alarmknoppies deaktiveer
is oral in die dorp bedrywig.
)Mense loop eenvoudig net oor die strate
en is nie bewus van voertuie wat hulle kan
raak ry nie. Sou jy iemand raak ry, moet jy
dadelik na die polisie ry om dit aan te
meld.

Cricket unites youth
ANGLO AMERICAN
KUMBA IRON ORES
Kolomela Mine is proud to
partner with the Progress
Cricket Club which is
situated in Postdene,
Postmasburg.
The Kolomela Mine
donated full cricket equip-
ment to the club to support
their vision of striving
towards the promotion and
development of cricket in
Postmasburg. This opportu-
nity also helps to keep the
teenagers off the streets and
away from alcohol and drug
abuse.
The clubs mission is to
give young people in the
Postmasburg community a
chance to develop their full
potential and reach higher
levels in the game of cricket.
The Progress Cricket Club
was established in 2002 and
is proud of their values: true
sportsmanship; integrity and
discipline. The club is the
only club that plays in the
Kalahari Sub-union League
from a disadvantaged
community.
The club won the B league
in 2006-07 and the 2005-06
six-a-side trophy.
In 2006, the club was the
bronze medal winner at the
Manne Dipico Premier
Games that were held in De
Aar and it is currently
involved in the sub-union A
league with eight other
teams.
Anglo Americans ap-
proach to community
development is based on
understanding the needs of
the local communities. In
2013, Anglo American
reported 340 015 beneficiaries
of sport, arts, culture and
heritage projects with a
global spend estimated at
R68 372 817 (R6 596 000) which
was 5% of the annual
budget.
Rusty Harmse, the
chairperson of the Progress
Cricket Club, said they
really appreciated the
support and assistance from
the Kolomela Mine.
This will help us grow as
a club and will give us a big
boost to make our vision a
reality.
We are open to all age
groups and new members
are always welcome, since
our aim is to develop the
youth.
Hou die blink kant bo op Loslitdag
DIE Loslitdag-veldtog vir 2014 is aan die
gang en Mathys Roets het sy ondersteuning
vir die projek getoon deur reeds sy Loslit-
plakker te kry.
Loslitdag is Suid-Afrika se grootste
geldinsameling- en bewusmakingprojek vir
mense met gestremdhede. Dit is n dag
waarop almal in die land die verskoning het
om gemaklik, formeel of sommer net verspot
werk toe aan te trek solank hulle die
amptelike Loslitdag-plakker dra.
Roets is in 2009 na n motorfietsongeluk
verlam gelaat. Ongeag hierdie terugslag, kyk
hy vorentoe en leef hy steeds voluit.
Volgens Celeste Vinassa, die Loslitdag-pro-
jekbestuurder, gaan alle Loslitdagskenkings
aan organisasies wat dienste aan mense met
gestremdhede lewer.
Ons is baie dankbaar vir die ondersteu-
ning van bekendes soos Mathys wat ons help
om die projek te bemark.
Loslitdag het oor die jare heen n gunste-
lingdag op die Suid-Afrikaanse kalender
geword. Sommige maatskappye gebruik
Loslitdag as n geleentheid vir hul korpora-
tiewe spanboudae, terwyl hulle n bydrae
lewer tot een van die land se kwesbare
sektore mense met gestremdhede.
Die Loslitdag-tema vir vanjaar is Bring out
the Bling, oftewel Blink kant bo! dit is die
ideale kans om iets blink werk toe te dra.
Vrydag 5 September is die groot dag vir
blink aantrek. Vanjaar is Loslitdag se 20ste
verjaardag en daarom kan mense ook
sommer partytjie-uitrustings aantrek.
Die projek behoort aan en word bestuur
deur die Nasionale Raad vir Persone met
Liggaamlike Gestremdheid in Suid-Afrika en
word jaarliks deur die raad se Loslitdag-span
georganiseer.

OUR PEOPLE
Station bids farewell to Koopman
Ilse Watson
A SMILE costs nothing but gives
much. It reaches those who receive
without making poorer those who
give it. It takes a moment but the
memory sometimes lasts a lifetime.
The memory of Col Sampie
Koopman will last a lifetime.
With dignity, grace, integrity and
humility he steered the Kuruman
police for the past four years as
their commander.
Last Thursday several members
of the Kuruman police and other
cluster commanders paid tribute to
Koopman during a farewell func-
tion.
He has been transferred to
Upington where he will be the
station commander.
It is an honour to be here today
and we dont want you to leave but
we know you must. We are losing a
great man. Well let you go, but we
know you will come back to
Kuruman, said John Valtyn,
cluster chairperson.
Koopman made remarkable
changes and led by example.
He showed colleagues the way
forward.
He believed in discipline and
enforced it on police members. He
expected only the best from his
staff.
Lt Col Cecilia Kgobe, cluster
commander of Kathu, told guests
that Koopman was a no-nonsense
person.
His footprints will remain in
Kuruman. Go, my brother; I know
you will come back.
In his speech at the function
Koopman mentioned that people
should never forget their roots.
I am writing my life essay. I am
proud to say that I know I made a
difference here. Your rank is not
important, who you are as a human
being, is. You must set an example
for your colleagues.
He also said that there was a
perception amongst community
members that the Kuruman police
delivered a bad service.
He asked current members of the
police to change that perception in
the community.
Action is the dignity of great-
ness. That should be your motto
here. Without action, nothing will
change. The Kuruman police is
under-staffed and cannot cope with
all the work in this area but if
everyone does their part, they can
make a difference.
I thank everyone who worked
with me. I thank the station
commanders and cluster command-
ers of Kathu and Postmasburg for
their positive attitude and support.
I am just a phone call away call
me any time for advice or help.

bederf.
Of om ten minste bystand-per-
soneel vir my driejarige seun te
wees wanneer hy vir Pappa en
Oupa ontbyt maak.
N n relatiewe vreesaanjaen-
de kombuisondervinding het my
seun plegtig die skinkborde
(met n klein bietjie hulp)
vroegoggend by die pas gaan
aflewer.
En natuurlik die tradisionele
handgemaakte geskenk.
Pappa kry n das gemaak
van n koevert en Oupa kry n
prentjie van n halfherkenbare
perd.
Tesame met die oorhandiging
van die geskenke, kry albei
natuurlik n vet soen. En saam
met die vet soen, n lekker dosis
kleuterskoolgriep.
Dit is opsluit ook die seisoen
vir griep-geskenkies wat die
kinders vir hul ouers van die
skool af bring.
Maar dit is hoekom goeie pas
van alle generasies n sen vir
hul gesinne is.
Hoewel hulle die volgende dag
met loopneuse en waterige o
opgestaan het, het hulle net
komplimente oor die vorige dag
se groot bederf gehad.
en dun, by my gestaan het.
Hy het my toegelaat om my
eie foute te maak en is daar om
die stukke op te tel as dinge nie
uitwerk nie.
En natuurlik is hy die beste
oupa vir wie n kleinseun kan
vra.
Gewoonlik begin Vadersdag
met ontbyt in die bed (wat Ma
help maak) en dan die geskenk.
Ons is n kunstige huisgesin,
en Seun het Vadersdag as die
perfekte geleentheid gesien om
sy talent in die vorm van
prentjiegeskenke vir die pas te
gebruik.
Nou is die Vadersdag-bederf
al n jare lange tradisie in ons
familie.
Ek en die gesin het juis mooi
beplan om vanjaar tydens
Vadersdag by my familie in
Pretoria te gaan kuier.
So kan ek sommer die
spreekwoordelike twee vlie
met een klap-tegniek gebruik
om die twee pas in my lewe te

VADERSDAG. n Dag waarop
kinders van alle ouderdomme n
geleentheid kry om vir hul pa
dankie te s vir die baie
maniere waarop hulle n mens
se lewe verryk.
My pa is nog altyd en sal
altyd n inspirasie vir my bly.
Hy het verlede jaar n 45 jaar
in die Kruger- Nasionale Park
afgetree.
Tydens sy tyd in die park het
hy verskeie kere toeriste en
kollegas gehelp sonder om
daaroor te kla.
Weens sy werk kon ek saam
met my gesin in n unieke en
pragtige omgewing grootword
met ondervindings wat min
mense ooit sal beleef.
Een van sy vele sgoed,
vriendelikheid kos niks, sal
my altyd bybly en kom my goed
te staan in my werk en alle-
daagse lewe.
Met soveel onsekerheid, weet
ek dat ek altyd op my pa kan
staatmaak.
Die meeste van sy grys hare
is my skuld, maar hy is die
mens wat nog altyd, deur dik
Polisieho
wat omgee
KURUMAN se verlies is Upington
se wins.
Kol. Sampie Koopman, stasiebe-
velvoerder van die Kuruman-poli-
siekantoor, is op pad terug na sy
wortels.
Hierdie besonderse man is
terugverplaas na Upington, waar
hy grootgeword het, om daar die
leisels as stasiebevelvoerder oor te
neem.
In die vier jaar dat hy hierdie
pos in Kuruman beklee het, het
hy n groot verskil gemaak.
Koopman was nie altyd gewild
onder polisielede in Kuruman nie,
omdat hy in dissipline glo en
streng is wat dit betref.
Veiligheidskenners sal getuig
dat wetstoepassing sonder dissipli-
ne gedoem is. Die polisie in ons
land en streek veg reeds n baie
moeilike stryd met misdaad wat
plek-plek buite beheer is. Juis
daarom is dissipline so belangrik.
Koopman is n mens wat plat op
die aarde is. Nooit sal hy die
telefoon as kolonel beantwoord
nie. Dit is altyd net Koopman,
n duidelike aanduiding dat dit vir
di man nie gaan oor rang of
belangrikheid nie, maar oor die
gehalte van die mens.
n Ander sterk punt van
Koopman is dat hy besef hoe
noodsaaklik goeie kommunikasie
in die stryd teen misdaad is.
Hy het goeie verhoudinge met
die Bulletin in Kuruman gehand-
haaf en die koerant onder meer
saamgeneem op daggaklopjagte,
wat die koerant in staat gestel het
om eerstehands oor die gebeure
verslag te kon doen.
Die media is n uiters belangri-
ke vennoot in die misdaadstryd,
en deur joernaliste insig te gee in
die uitdagings waarmee die polisie
te doen het kan beriggewing oor
misdaad net verbeter word.
Dit strek Koopman tot eer dat
hy besorg is oor die beeld van die
polisie en dat dit hom pla as die
publiek onder die indruk verkeer
dat die polisie se dienslewering
swak is.
Hy streef dan ook daarna om
polisielede te motiveer om seker
te maak dat hulle goeie diens
lewer.
Die Bulletin wil vandag hulde
bring aan polisielede soos Koop-
man vir wie dit n saak van erns
is om die gemeenskap te dien en
seker te maak dat die stryd teen
misdaad gewen word.
Hy word alles van die beste in
sy nuwe pos toegewens.
Ons leweword deur
branders glad gemaak
IN Kaliforni is n strand wat as
Pebble Beach bekend staan. Die
branders slaan met soveel krag
teen die strand dat die klippies
gedurig teen mekaar en teen die
rotse skuur en dit maak hulle glad,
blink en mooi.
n Medeleraar van die Birchleigh-
gemeente, Hennie van Wyk, het di
storie gestuur.
Toeriste kom van ver om na
Pebble Beach se mooi, gladde
klippies te kyk en dit as aanden-
kings saam te neem huis toe.
Teleurstelling en tespoed kan ook
in ons lewe, in ons karakter en
gedrag, n soortgelyke invloed h.
Die komponis Hndel het eens
wanhopig in Londen se strate
rondgedwaal. Hy was bankrot en
het verwerp deur almal gevoel. Een
oggend keer hy terug na sy ysige
kamer. Op die tafel l n dik
koevert, n libretto, n vokale
musiekstuk wat Charles Jennens
uit Bybelverse saamgestel het.
Verwese, honger en koud blaai
Hndel lusteloos deur die lang
werk. Die woorde voor hom laat
hom regop sit. Dit is die Ou-Testa-
mentiese voorspelling van die
geboorte van Christus: Raadsman,
sterke God, Vredevors.
Opgewonde lees hy verder hoe
Hy deur die mense verag en
verwerp sou word. Die woorde dat
sy Verlosser leef en die Koning van
konings is, word in sy siel inge-
brand. Hndel gryp n potlood en
gaan sit voor die klavier. Twee
weke lank werk hy feitlik on-
onderbroke en gee gestalte aan Die
Messias. N twee weke nooi hy n
vriend en met trane in sy o vertel
hy hoe die skepping van die
Hallelujakoor hom laat voel het
asof hy self in die hemel is en hy
God voor hom sien.
Die eerste uitvoering van Die
Messias was in Dublin en die
gehoor se reaksie was oorwel-
digend. So ook in Londen n paar
weke later.
Die Engelse koning het self die
uitvoering bygewoon en meegevoer
deur die Hallelujakoor het hy
opgestaan en die gehoor het sy
voorbeeld gevolg.
Tot vandag toe oor die wreld
heen staan die gehore op as die
Hallelujakoor gespeel en gesing
word. Later was George Frederick
Hndel weer arm, blind en siek,
maar sy omstandighede sou nooit
weer sy gees knak nie.

nakoming van minimum
norme en standaarde van
geriewe sowel as die
versorging van ouer
mense.
) Die vaslegging van
maatrels vir die bekam-
ping van die mishandeling

Ronel, eers van Bloem-
fontein, is net meer as n
jaar gelede aangestel en
sy sien toe dat die inwo-
ners gereeld aan uitstap-
pies deelneem.
Sy het beklemtoon dat
bejaardes wat nog vir
hulself kan sorg aangemoe-
dig moet word om solank
as moontlik onafhanklik-
heid uit te oefen.
Op dieselfde vergadering
het Emmie Cloete gewys
hoe sy kwiltwerk met die
hand doen, asook hoe om
steke op te sit vir breiwerk
deur net een breinaald en
jou hande te gebruik.
Emmie is deel van die
Vlytige Vingersgroep wat
elke Dinsdag by Retha-Ja-
ne se huis bymekaarkom
en die mooiste handwerk
daar voltooi.
Hulle wys graag vir
almal wat wil leer hoe om
te brei en te hekel.
Menige jong vrou kan
nou die mooiste artikels
maak.
Van die kompetisies wat
vir die vergadering
ingeskryf is, is n gebreide
teemus, iets dekoratiefs
wat uit n ou fietswiel
gemaak is en n gedig aan
iemand wat nie meer deel
van jou lewe is nie.
Oud,maar nog nie koud

Stress could cause
your heartburn
A NATIONAL poll among
pharmacists has revealed a
steep rise in the number of
South Africans complaining
of heartburn and acid reflux
of late. Currently more than
1,5 million South Africans
suffer from this uncomfort-
able condition daily.
Mariska van Aswegen,
spokesperson for Pharma
Dynamics, says the worry
about chronic acid reflux is
that years of exposure to
stomach acids can trigger
changes in the lining of the
oesophagus, a condition
known as Barretts oesopha-
gus, which may over time
lead to cancer.
The most effective
treatment for chronic
heartburn are proton pump
inhibitors (PPIs) which limit
the amount of acid the
stomach produces, but less
expensive over-the-counter
(OTC) antacids are also
available.
Apart from spicy or fatty
food, patients often attribute
the cause of their heartburn
to stress.
While it may be true that
South Africa rates among the
most stressed nations in
the world, could the increa-
sing demands and stress of
modern life be the likely
culprit behind the growing
incidence of heartburn?
Van Aswegen cites a study
done some years back which
involved 2 000 participants
where both men and women
reported a spike in acid
reflux after a busy day at
home or the office; when
travelling for business or
working extended hours.
Heartburn severity also
appears to be linked to major
life events and other studies
point out that exhaustion, in
particular, is very closely
associated with a worsening
of acid reflux symptoms.
She says poor diet and
lifestyle choices such as
smoking and a lack of
exercise contribute to
heartburn, but that stress
has the added effect of
making you feel the symp-
toms of acid reflux more
intensely than you otherwise
would.
The verdict is still out
about whether or not stress
actually increases the
production of stomach acid,
but we live in stressful times
and heartburn is becoming
incredibly common. Stress
affects our overall gastro-
intestinal health, but some
experts argue that patients
who experience a lot of work
or emotional stress may say
they suffer from more severe
reflux symptoms, without
necessarily having more
acute reflux.
People who are stressed
tend to be more sensitive to
and have a greater aware-
ness of physical symptoms
that may not otherwise
bother them if they werent
as stressed. This is referred
to as hypervigilance.
Experts suggest that
stress could stimulate areas
of the brain that may in turn
make pain receptors in the
oesophagus more active. So
while acid levels may not
rise that much more in
people who are stressed,
each drop of acid may just
become that much more
agonising.
People who are stressed
can also have a drop in
hormone-like substances,
called prostaglandins, which
can help coat the lining of
the stomach and protect it
from acid. Certain medicati-
ons can actually block the
production of prostaglandins,
including anti-inflammatory
drugs such as ibuprofen and
naproxen. No matter which
way you look at it, there is a
strong connection between
stress and heartburn. It
doesnt matter how the body
and brain senses them, acid
reflux symptoms are equally
real, she says.
Van Aswegen shares a few
stress-relief methods that
may reduce the symptoms of
heartburn:
) Do whatever calms you
down it can be as simple
as listening to your favourite
music.
) Take some time out of the
office or any other stressful
environment you may find
yourself in.
) Do something that you
really enjoy, whether its
playing golf, pottering in the
garden or any other hobby
that you find relaxing.
) Exhaustion may exacerba-
te heartburn symptoms, so
be sure to get enough sleep
and try to sleep elevated.
) Get moving exercise
helps loosen up tense
muscles or go for a massage.
) Learn to say no and
prioritise people and activi-
ties.
) Talk to a therapist or good
friend who can help alleviate
stress and put things in
perspective again.
) If youre stressed, rather
opt for healthier and less
fatty food options.
Stay away from spicy foods,
chocolate, citrus fruits,
tomatoes and caffeine.

Rugbyseisoen: n Vrou se reeks rels
Elsona Steyn
ONS is weer in die alles-word-opsy-
geskuif-want-dis-rugbykyk-tyd.
Rugby is die sport wat ons hart
laat klop, ons bloed laat bruis, ons
ore laat suis.
Ons offer ons Saterdae-middae vir
di genot op, ons hou ons gunstelin-
ge met belangstelling dop.
Skree jy vir die manne in die Blou
Bul-span of is jy n Haai wat in die
tenk rondhang?
Is jy dalk n Griekwa-, n Leeu-, n
WP- of n Cheetah-man?
Maak nie saak vir wie jy skree
nie, dit is belangrik dat jy jou beste
gee.
Ons hou van haak, skrum, drie
druk en pale toe aantree.
Kook jou bloed ook as die skeids-
regter met n geelkaart teen jou span
kwaadstook? Wys dan maar jou
blinkkant, man.
Ons kan nie n vreeslike bohaai
hieroor maak nie, want dit bly die
skeidsregter se taak.
Ten minste kan jy hom die skuld
gee as jou span
nie goed presteer
nie.
My man het
my laat belowe
dat, terwyl daar
n wedstryd aan
die gang is, ek
by die volgende
huisrels sal hou:
)As ek net n mmm hoor wan-
neer ek hom n vraag vra, beteken
dit gaan, my vrou, en geniet dit,
moenie my kar stamp nie, moenie te
vinnig ry nie en moet asseblief nie
meer as R100 bestee nie. Sorg dat jy
teen rustyd terug is met klam
biltong (met n vetjie aan), 12 biere
en genoeg hout vir vanaand se braai;
) Rustyd en tussen wedstryde is
bedoel dat n man n draai gaan loop
moenie dan kom met onbenullige
vrae soos moet daar vlamme uit die
kar se enjin kom? of weet jy dat
daar water uit die plafon in ons
kamer lek? nie. Di soort vrae word
n die wedstryd gevra en enige
krisisse sal later in die week
uitgesorteer word;
Moenie tussen wedstryde deur
tussen die rugbykenner en die
televisie verbybeweeg nie en los al
die opruim vir n die tyd. Die le
bierbottels, so ook die nartjieskille
wat ongesiens op die mat by my
voete beland het, pla jou, my vrou,
meer as vir my;
) Daar word ook nie aan die
televisie se klank gekarring nie n
man moet kan hr as daar n drie
gedruk word. As die skare raas, raas
jy saam. Dit is n teken dat jy jou
nie vir jou span skaam nie. Dit is
dan dat jy op die Gerhard Viviers-
manier saam drop, place en score
en dit alles in die gemak van jou eie
woonkamer.
Hy het my ook by voorbaat
bedank vir my samewerking terwyl
die rugbyseisoen aan die gang is,
ges hy hou van my nuwe haarstyl,
dat ek pragtig lyk in daai blomme-
tjies-rok en, nee, my ma kan nie nou
kom kuier nie. Hy het ook belowe
om my weer in Oktober raak te sien.
Tot dan, is dit ol, ol, ol, ol.

Marita se bundels is
nie-fiksie of nie
DIE Suid-Afri-
kaanse skrywer
Marita van der
Vyver s die
volgende oor
haar boek n
Fontein voor ons
deur: Groot was
my vreugde toe
my uitgewer my
die dag laat weet
dat die voorloper
van hierdie
boek, Die hart
van ons huis,
tweede op die
Suid-Afrikaanse
topverkoperlys
vir boeke in alle
tale is.
Net onder
(heelwat onder,
moet ek in alle
beskeidenheid
byvoeg) die
internasionale
treffer The Da
Vinci Code.
Maar terwyl
ek nog wik en
weeg of dit n
geldige verskoning is om n bottel regte-egte Franse
sjampanje oop te maak, sien ek dat dit die topverko-
perlys vir fiksie is.
En Die hart van ons huis soos n Fontein voor
ons deur is nie-fiksie. Of is dit?
Ek weet regtig nie op watter rak n Fontein voor
ons deur hoort nie.
As ek gedwing word om dit in een (erg onweten-
skaplike) frase op te som sal ek s dis nog n ligharti-
ge relaas oor my onidilliese lewe in n idilliese
landskap, n verdere poging om die Provensaalse
legende van laventel en pastis te ondergrawe, n
trekstorie met vele Franse kinkels.
Anders gestel, liewe leser, Griet het lankal nie
meer tyd om sprokies te skryf nie.
Die regte lewe het n veeleisende, uitputtende,
immer verrassende, nimmer vervelige sage geword.
Besluit maar self op watter rak jy daarvoor gaan
soek!
n Fontein voor ons deur is een van
die beste bundels wat die afgelope
jaar verskyn het.

KALAHARI BULLETIN, DONDERDAG 19 JUNIE 2014 15
ON 3 June learners of the Wrenchville
High School participated in a silent
protest called Standing together against
rape.
This protest was held on the N14 road
in Kuruman.
The protest lasted more than an hour
and it was aimed at showing solidarity
with rape survivors who are silenced by
sexual violence.
The tape over their mouths was worn
to symbolise all rape survivors whose
voices are silenced by rape.
This silent protest is part of their
Youth Citizen Action Programme (YCAP)
which is powered by NPO Empowervate
in partnership with Deutsche Bank
Africa Foundation and the Department
of Basic Education.
It challenges gr. 10 learners to become
active citizens and demonstrate what it
means to be empowered by identifying
social and environmental issues within
their school communities and find ways
to address them.
The Wrenchville High School learners
launched a campaign called S.T.A.R.
(Standing Together Against Rape) as
their active citizen campaign for 2014.
The focus of the campaign is to create
awareness about statutory rape and
encourage people of all ages to start
talking openly and freely about rape in
South Africa.
Their silent protest also took place to
commemorate National Child Protection
Week which was held in the week of
1 to 7 June.
) Do you have a story to tell about rape
or suicide attempts? Please contact
[email protected] or phone
079-831-5579.

CHILDREN in schools in the Hotazel and
Kuruman regions have been playing the
game of chess for some time now as part of
their maths and science training.
The programme is run from Pretoria by
the Moves For Life (MFL) organisation.
This has been made possible by a sponsor-
ship from the BHP Billiton Maganese
Division.
MFL area manager, Petra Flemming,
reports that the teachers and the learners
are now so enthusiastic about chess that
they dont want to go home after the chess
lessons.
Teachers report a remarkable difference
in the children attending chess classes. At
the Sedibeng Primary School there are 445
learners now attending chess classes.
A teacher at the Sebideng Primary School
reports that school discipline has improved
remarkably since chess was introduced.
Part of the chess protocol is good manners
and respect. All players are required to
shake hands before and after every game
and to thank opponents.
Moremi says that the programme deve-
lops learning skills and that concentration,
comprehension and reasoning are clearly
improving amongst the learners.
This is great news for MFL because that
is part of their objective.
Learner attitude to work is a major factor
in school performance.
A teacher of the Maipeing Primary
School has also reported a visible improve-
ment in learner attitude.
She tells the story of a 13-year-old
learner, Ontlametse Mosetlhatsela from
Kanana Village, who learned to play under
the MFL system and is now so keen that he
now helps teach the younger children.
MFL provided Mosetlhatsela with a
thrilling opportunity by sending him to
Kimberley to play in a tournament there. It
was the first time he travelled that far.
A teacher of Nweng Primary School
relates that certain children who were
uncooperative in class before are now
cooperating and achieving success with
new-found self-confidence.
He says that learners enjoy doing maths
on the demonstration chess board.
This is excellent news because part of the
chess programme teaches the children to
imagine the layout of graphs and geometry.
Familiarity with the layout of a chess board
makes a transition to maths graphs so
much easier.
The MFL programme now has over 45 000
children in its chess classes across the
country.
The success in implementation is very
much dependent on the enthusiasm of the
MFL area managers and in particular the
teachers at the schools

(MFL) trustee in Pretoria.
