Reach Your Full Potential with DCAS 1

Welcome

We are very pleased to introduce you to some of the activities of the Department of Cultural Affairs and Sport (DCAS). The Depart-

ment offers the people of the Western Cape with many opportunities to participate and excel in sport and culture. Our approach

emphasises skills development (providing everyone with opportunities to gain skills) and talent identification (identifying talented

individuals and providing them with focused support). Every person is responsible for improving his or her own circumstances. The

Western Cape Government contributes to this process by offering people living in harsh socio-economic conditions with opportu-

nities to improve their own circumstances. The activities of DCAS help to make the Western Cape BETTER TOGETHER in the fields

of cultural affairs and sport.

Dit is vir ons aangenaam om sommige aktiwiteite van die Departement Kultuursake en Sport (DKES) aan u bekend te stel. Die De-

partement bied aan almal in die Wes-Kaap die geleentheid om aan sport en kultuur deel te neem, en hulle daarin te onderskei. Ons

beklemtoon vaardigheidsontwikkeling (geleenthede vir almal) en talent-identifisering (identifisering en ondersteuning van talent-

volle individue). Elke persoon is verantwoordelik vir die verbetering van sy/haar eie omstandighede. Hierin lewer die Wes-Kaapse

Regering ‘n bydrae deur mense in moeilike sosio-ekonomiese omstandighede van geleenthede te voorsien om hul omstandighede

te verbeter. Die aktiwiteite van DKES help om die Wes-Kaap op die gebied van kultuursake en sport BETER TESAME te maak.

Great News For Parents And Children DCAS is very proud of its MOD [Mass participation; Opportunity and access; Development and growth] Programme for learners in disadvantaged communities. The various MOD Centres offer learners a safe environment after school where they can do homework; develop their life skills; and develop their sporting and cultural talents. MOD Centres offer learners a constructive way to spend their time after school and during school holidays. This also helps to protect them from social ills. MOD skills training may lead to later career opportunities. Facilitators and coaches raise the awareness of learners about social issues and they identify talented individ-uals who may benefit from focused DCAS support. Participating learners develop a better sense of personal purpose, well-being, self-confidence and self-esteem. As they do this, they become role models for other young people in their communities.

Die DKES is trots op sy MOD-program (Massadeelname, Geleenthede en toegang, Ontwikkeling en groei) vir leerders in benadeelde gemeenskappe. Die verskeidenheid MOD-sentrums bied aan hulle ‘n veilige na-skoolse omgewing waar hulle hulle tuiswerk kan doen, hulle lewensvaardighede en hulle sport- en kultuurtalente kan ontwikkel. Die DKES MOD-sentrums bied aan leerders ‘n geleentheid om ná skool en gedurende skoolvakansies op ‘n konstruktiewe wyse hulle tyd deur te bring. Dit help om hulle teen sosiale euwels te beskerm. DKES-vaardigheidsopleiding kan tot latere loopbaangeleenthede lei. Fasiliteerders en afrigters maak leerders bewus van maatskaplike kwessies, en hulle identifiseer talentvolle individue wat uit DKES-ondersteuning voordeel kan trek. Leerders wat die sentrums bywoon, word meer doelgerig, meer bewus van hul eie welstand, verkry meer selfvertroue en hul selfbeeld verbeter. Sodoende word hulle rolmodelle vir ander jongmense in hul gemeenskappe.

I-DCAS iyazingca ngenkqubo yayo i-MOD [Ukuthatha iNxaxheba ngoBuninzi; Amathuba nokufikelela; Ukuphuhlisa nokuhluma] yabafundi abakwiindawo ezihlelelekileyo. Amaziko amaninzi e-MOD anika abafundi imeko ekhuselekileyo ukuphuma kwesikolo - apho banokwenza khona imisebenzi yasekhaya; baphuhlise izakhono zabo zobomi; baphinde baphuhlise iitalente zabo zemidlalo nezenkcubeko. Amaziko e-MOD anika abafundi indlela eyakhayo yokuchitha ixesha labo ukuphuma kwabo esikolweni nangexesha leeholide zesikolo. Le nto inceda ekubakhuseleni kwizinto ezingalunganga zasekuhlaleni. Uqeqesho lwezakhono lwe-MOD kamva lisenokukhokelela kumathuba omsebenzi. Abancedisi nabaqhelisi bandisa ulwazi lwabafundi malunga nemiba yasekuhlaleni baze bachonge abo baneetalente abanokuxhamla kwinkxaso enenjongo ye-DCAS. Abafundi abathatha inxaxheba bandisa ukuqonda ng-cono ngenjongo zabo buqu, ukuba sempilweni, ukuzithemba nendlela abaziva ngayo. Njengoko besenza oku, baye babe yimizekelo yabantu ekunokufundwa kubo kwiindawo abahlala kuzo.

A Better Understanding Of Our Common Heritage South Africa is home to eight of the world’s official heritage sites. Heritage Western Cape (HWC) has the power to declare provincial heritage sites. Once HWC has put its official plaque on a site, this often encourages further research by the local community and attracts tourism which generates income for communities. HWC also issues permits for renovations to buildings that are older than 60 years. By participating in the International Day for Monuments and Sites, HWC plays its part in strengthening and safeguarding heritage across the world. The protection of our heritage brings hope especially to young people. By being alerted to the value of heritage resources, the next generation learns to commemorate the past, celebrate the present and build strong foundations for the future.

Suid-Afrika is die tuiste van agt van die wêreld se amptelike erfenisgebiede. Erfenis Wes-Kaap (EWK) het die bevoegdheid om provinsiale gebiede as erfenisgebiede te verklaar. Wanneer EWK ‘n gedenkplaat op ‘n terrein aanbring, dien dit dikwels as aan-moediging vir verdere navorsing deur die plaaslike gemeenskap, en dit lok toeriste waaruit ‘n inkomste vir gemeenskappe spruit. EWK reik ook permitte uit vir restourasie van geboue wat ouer as 60 jaar is. Die Internasionale Dag vir Monumente en Terreine beskerm en bewaar erfenis wêreldwyd. Erfenisbeskerming bied veral aan ons jongmense hoop. Hierdie volgende geslag leer hoe om die verlede te gedenk, die hede te vier en stewige fondamente vir die toekoms te bou.

UMzantsi Afrika ulikhaya kwiindawo ezisibhozo zelifa ezisemthethweni zehlabathi. ILifa leMveli leNtshona Koloni (HWC) linegunya lokwazisa iindawo zelifa lemveli zephondo. Xa iHWC iye yabeka ilitye lesikhumbuzo ngokusemthethweni kwindawo, lo nto isoloko ikhuthaza olunye uphando luluntu olukufutshane ize itsale umdla kukhenketho nto leyo yenza ingeniso kuluntu. I-HWC ikwanikeze-la ngamaphepha-mvume okulungisa izakhiwo ezineminyaka engaphezulu kwengama-60 ubudala. Ngokuthatha inxaxheba kuSuku lwaMazwe ngamazwe lwaMatye esikhumbuzo neeNdawo zelifa i-HWC iyaligxininisa kwaye ilikhusela ilifa kwihlabathi lonke. Ukukhu-selwa kwelifa lethu lemveli kusinika ithemba ngokukodwa kubantu abatsha. Ngokwaziswa ngokukuko ngexabiso lemithombo yelifa lemveli, isizukulwana esizayo sifunda ukukhumbula izinto ezidlulileyo, babhiyozele okwangoku baze bakhe isiseko esiza kubaxhasa kwikamva labo.


Funding Through Sport Federations Once a year, DCAS invites sport federations in various sport codes to apply for provincial government funding assistance for their work. This is a clear investment in the development of real sports talent in the Western Cape. DCAS is a proud facilitator of excel-lence in sport through supporting the improvement of sports administration, transformation in sport, and the hosting of major sport events. Annual funding from the Department supports many sports codes and this improves the lives of many communities. Through investing in our sportsmen and -women, DCAS hopes to encourage them to push themselves to greater heights, reach their goals and to make South Africa proud.

Die DKES nooi sportfederasies in die verskillende sportkodes om by die provinsiale regering aansoek te doen vir befondsing van hulle werk. Dit is ‘n duidelike belegging in die ontwikkeling van ware sporttalent in die Wes-Kaap. Die DKES is ‘n trotse fasiliteerder van sportuitnemendheid deur aan die verbetering van sportadministrasie, sporttransformasie en die aanbied van groot sportge-leenthede ondersteuning te bied. Jaarlikse befondsing deur die Departement ondersteun vele sportkodes, en verbeter die lewe van menige gemeenskappe. Deur in ons sportmanne en -vroue te belê, hoop die DKES om die atlete aan te moedig om na groter hoogtes te streef, hulle doelwitte te behaal en Suid-Afrika trots te maak.

Kanye ngonyaka i-DCAS imema imibutho yezemidlalo kuzo zonke iindidi zemidlalo ukuba yenze isicelo kwinkxaso yemali yesibo-nelelo yorhulumente wephondo ngomsebenzi wabo.

Language, An Important Part Of Our Identity DCAS and the Western Cape Language Committee actively support the equal status of the three official languages of the province – English, isiXhosa and Afrikaans. They also support the development of previously marginalised indigenous languages, including South African Sign Language. Basic Sign Language training builds relationships between people in various communities. DCAS Lan-guage Services organises the activities of the Western Cape Provincial Language Forum (PLF) and provides translation, editing and interpreting services to the provincial government. DCAS is proud of its Teach yourself Nama booklet and an isiXhosa terminology booklet developed by members of the PLF.

Basiese Gebaretaal-opleiding vestig verhoudinge tussen mense in verskeie gemeenskappe. Die DKES Taaldienste reël die aktiwiteite van die Wes-Kaapse Provinsiale Taalforum (PTF) en verskaf vertalings-, redigerings- en tolkdienste aan die Wes-Kaapse Regering.

The Department has enabled Western Cape intellectually impaired athletes to participate in the national games, marking a significant investment towards in equal access to opportunity. Another inspirational event is the Disabled Wheelchair and Latin American dance trials where participants showcase their talents and deliver dazzling performances. We encourage sight-impaired readers to borrow large-print books, audio books, music CDs and DVDs so that everyone can benefit from our Library Service. DCAS is working to bridge the gap between hearing and Deaf communities through Sign Language communication clubs in Khayelitsha. It is our pleasure to proudly improve the social inclusion of persons with a disability and to build their sense of well-being and belonging. This is a powerful way of creating a positive change in public perceptions about people with disabilities.

Die DKES ondersteun Gestremde Sport Wes-Kaap en bied deur die loop van die jaar verskeie geleenthede aan, waaronder die Internasionale Dag vir Gestremdes. Die Departement het ook Wes-Kaapse intellektueel gestremde atlete in staat gestel om aan die nasionale spele deel te neem. Daardeur het ons beduidend in die beskikbaarmaking van gelyke geleenthede belê. Nog ‘n inspirerende gebeurtenis is die Gestremde Rolstoel- en Latyns-Amer-ikaanse dansuitdunne waar dansers hulle talente kon toon en skitterende vertonings gelewer het. Ons het siggestremdes aangemoedig om boeke in grootdruk, oudioboeke, musiek-CDs en DVDs uit te neem, sodat hulle ook uit ons Biblioteekdienste kan voordeel trek. Deur middel van die Gebareta-al-kommunikasieklubs in Khayelitsha werk die DKES aan die oorbrugging van die gaping tussen horende en dowe gemeenskappe. Dit is ons plesier en trots om so te kan verbeter op ons sosiale insluiting van gestremde persone om daardeur hulle gemeenskapsbewussyn te vestig.

Valuable Lessons At Cultural FacilitiesThe DCAS cultural facilities are unique places where groups of people can connect with and value each other while learning about life skills and their shared history. The accommodation and conference facilities are available for use by organisations to present cul-tural and educational programmes. It is at these facilities that people are encouraged to take pride in their culture and heritage. The Western Cape Cultural Commission manages seven cultural facilities and supports the work of cultural councils, among other things.

Die DKES se kultuurfasiliteite is unieke plekke waar mense bymekaar kan kom en mekaar kan waardeer terwyl hulle lewensvaar-dighede ontwikkel en hulle van hulle gedeelde geskiedenis bewus word.

This is an opportuni-ty to market the many valuable museum resources at our disposal to communities across the province. Our educational programmes help school learners to benefit from the many museum resources at our disposal. We mount exhibitions linked to significant events. We are also steadily making our museum exhibitions more representative of all the people in our communities. Our museums give us a better understanding of our past so that we can embrace and respect others, regardless of their backgrounds and traditions.

Singing The National Anthem With PrideDCAS developed a National Anthem Toolkit because the anthem is an important part of our cultural and musical heritage. It speaks of a united and democratic country. It gives us a sense of common identity and promotes national pride, social inclusion and rec-onciliation. DCAS brought young artists from various communities in the regions together to learn the national anthem and sing it together as a group. Through these auditions, DCAS was able to identify youth with the most promising vocal technique, music literacy and presentation skills. The experience improved their vocal ability and the skills they learned assisted some of them to pur-sue careers in music. Through singing the National Anthem correctly, participants instantly became ambassadors for national pride in their various communities.

Die DKES het ‘n Nasionale Volkslied-handleiding ontwikkel, omdatdie Volkslied ‘n belangrike deel van ons kulturele en musikale erfe-nis vorm. Dit getuig van ’n verenigde en demokratiese land.

Die DKES het jong kunstenaars van verskeie gemeenskappe in streke bymekaar gebring om die Volkslied te leer en dit in ’n groep saam te sing. Met hierdie oudisies was die DKES in staat om die jongmense met die bestevokale tegniek, musikale geletterdheid en aanbiedingsvaardigheid te identifiseer. Die ondervinding het hulle vokale vermoë versterk, en die vaardighede wat hulle aangeleer het, het sommige gehelp om musiek as beroep te beoefen. Deur die Volkslied korrek te sing, het die jongmense ambassadeurs vir nasionale trots in hulle onderskeie gemeenskappe geword.

Die DKES glo dat deur die jeug byeen te bring met waardegebaseerde sport en ontspanning, en deur hulle met vaardighede te bemagtig, hulle gehelp kan word om in verantwoordelike en bedagsame volwassenes te ontwikkel. Gemeenskapsuitreiking vorm deel van die program wat deelnemers in staat stel om die lesse wat hulle tydens die kamp geleer het, prakties te kan toepas. Deelname aan uitreik- aktiwiteite is ‘n inspirerende en realistiese ervaring vir spanleiers, fasiliteerders en deelnemende jeug. Deur die jeug ‘n genotvolle, betekenis-volle en onvergeetlike kampervaring te bied, inspireer dit hulle om ‘n verskil in hulle gemeenskappe te maak.

Dcas Cannot Do It AloneDCAS works together with various stakeholders to change the lives of the people in the Western Cape. These partnerships include private sector stakeholders, international role-players as well as national, provincial and local government.
