Keeping vacationing kids safeFor kids the three-week long mid-year school holiday is a welcomebreak, but for many parents whohave to work it’s a stressful periodof constantly wondering if yourchild is safe.“It is important that they know

toalwayskeepentryandexitdoorslocked, and that no-one is to enterthe home without your permis-sion,” says RobDale,managing di-rector of ADT Security, WesternCape.“If youhaveahomesecurity sys-

tem installed, teach them how toactivate and deactivate it and howand when to use other security de-vices like panic buttons.”

) Have a list of emergency num-bers including 10111 handy. Makesure they know how to use it andwhen.Thecoldweathermeans thatold-

er kids are often confined indoorsand that boredom quickly sets in.The usual solution: wanting to vis-it a friend who lives in the neigh-bourhood.

) If youarenotable todropyourchild off or arrange a lift for them.Or, walk the route with them be-fore theyhave todo it on theirown.“Explain that it is better to take

a longer route down familiarstreets where there is more activi-ty than taking short-cuts acrossfields or through deserted areas orroads they’re not used to.”

) When they leave home, theymust let their parents knowandal-so once they have arrived at theirfriend’s home.

) Never takeadviceor lifts fromstrangers.Dale proposed that parents con-

sider ADT FindU for their chil-

dren.“This application will turn your

child’s smartphone into apersonalsafety and monitoring device.They simply need to activate it tostart the tracking process and tap,shake or swipe their handset toalert us. We will dispatch the ap-propriate response teamincludingarmed response, medical assist-ance, mountain and wilderness orsea rescue services. You do notneed to be an existing ADT clientto subscribe to the service.”

) At shopping malls, look afteryour belongings and look out foreach other.

) Hold tightly onto handbags,wallets and cellphones. If they be-come separated from their friends,head straight to the mall informa-tion desk or to security and try totrack them down from there.

Zille calls for moreorgan donorsThere are challenging factors result-ing in the low organ donation ratesin South Africa. The first is the lackof thorough awareness and compre-hensive education on the subject oforgan donation and the lack of re-sourcesavailable to theOrganDonorFoundation. The second is the lackof development and the deteriora-tion of available medical infrastruc-ture that severely impacts the effec-tiveness and growth of organ refer-rals in South Africa.These facts were highlighted by

the premier of the Western Cape,Helen Zille, at a recent meetingwhere the urgent need for more or-gan donors in the Western Cape wasdiscussed.There is a specific need for chil-

drenwaiting to receive transplantedorgans in the Western Cape.Zille offered the children a mes-

sage of hope and encouragement atthe conference held at the Red CrossWar Memorial Children’s Hospitallastweek. TheOrganDonor Founda-tionused7July (07/07) asSaveSevenLivesDayand thishasbecomeanan-nualdatepublishedonthehealthcal-endar.CurrentlyatRedCrossWarMemo-

rial Children’sHospital there are sixchildren on the active list urgentlyrequiring a liver transplant to en-sure their survival and 37 on the in-active list who will require a livertransplant in the future. There hasbeen a dramatic increase in thenumberof childrenwhoareondialy-sis treatment at the hospital with 17children being dialysed and await-

ing a kidney transplant and only twopatients have healthy living rela-tives as a transplant option. Some ofthese children have been on dialysisfor almost 5 years - a very long timein a child’s life.Nationally there are over 4 300

South Africans awaiting an organand cornea transplant. Less than 600transplants are performed each yearand many adults and children diewaiting for a life-saving transplant.One person can save seven lives

when they become an organ donor –this includestheuseofoneheart, twolungs, twokidneys, one liver andonepancreas. One donor can also im-prove the quality of life of up to 50more people by donating their tissue– their skin, bone, heart valves andcorneas.In South Africa less than 0,2% of

the population are registered organdonors. If compared to other coun-tries such as the USA, who have 37%of their population as registered or-gan donors and Australia (whoseawareness campaigns are entirelyfunded by their Government) whohave24%oftheirpopulationasregis-tered organ donors – we must admitthat this is an extremely shockingand low statistic for South Africa.The public are encouraged to be-

come donors by visiting the OrganDonor Foundation’s website atwww.odf.org.za or calling their TollFreeLineon0800226611. It’sasimpleprocedure tosignup,only takesa fewminutes of your time and is free ofcharge. Please remember to discussthe decision with your family.

Time for tax - pay your duesFrom1Julytheso-calledtaxseasonishere,whichmeans that you need toget your books in orderbefore 21 Novemberwhen most income taxreturns need to be re-turned to SARS.

With all the things thatyou as the owner of yourown business have to doeach day, you often do not set asidetime tokeep thebooksup todate.Butthe penalties for late submission andpayment, forces one to take time toensure that your company’s tax re-turns get the necessary attention intime.The best practice is to keep your

books in order all year round. Busi-nesses that are registered for VATneed to submit a record of their busi-ness activities bi-monthly, which

forces them to set asidetime for doing books ona regular basis.But many small busi-

nesses are not registeredfor VAT and thereforebusiness owners put thisoff for some time later. Ifthis is you, I trust thatyou at least have somekindofsystemwhereyoukeep every receipt and

invoice because, although we live ina digital world, most of our transac-tions still need a paper trail.If youdonothaveagoodbookkeep-

ingandaccountingsystem,youmustremember that SARS do tax auditson businesses and it may becomenasty ifyoudonotcomply,especiallyif you do not have proper records ofall expenses that you claim.Part of the record keeping and

compliance thatSARSrequires from

every business iswhether you’ve de-ducted the necessary UIF, SDL andincome tax fromyouremployeesandwhether you’ve paid it to SARSmonthly.Business owners often do not con-

sider thecost of a sloppyrecordkeep-ingsystem.Besides thepenaltiesandinterest for late payment, you oftenend up with paying more taxes thannecessary.Therefore if you are not qualified

to do all this yourself, it will be bene-ficial for you to hire a bookkeeper.You’ll rid yourself of loads of stressif your books are in order and it willalso help you to better manage yourcash flow every month.(DavidMalherbe is a business- and

Aquarium elicits laughs and gigglesSAMKELA MHLAKAZA

The82 learnersof IKhayaPre-Prima-ry School guided by seven teachersand volunteers, went on their veryfirst outing to the Two OceansAquarium in Cape Town!At the first sight of seeing the bus,

whichwasgoing to take theyouthbe-tween the ages of 2 to 6 years old toCape Town, the youngest childrenweresomewhat frightenedof its size.They had never been in such a big

bus before. Once being rememberedabout their joyful day ahead, theirfearsvanishedasquicklyas theyhadappeared.

the aquariums’most popular puppetshows: ‘’Keep the beach clean’’ waswaiting for the children.The interactive puppet show in-

volved the children in the story line,allowing them to explore creaturesof the underwater world such assharks, dolphins, crabs and starfish-es.The hidden message of the show

and learning experience for youngand old.Afterwards, we had the opportuni-

ty to have a look at all the amazinganimals living in the huge watertanks. The children visibly enjoyedthe enormous variety of big andsmall fish, but the sharks were defi-nitely the highlight of the entire day.Before going back to the buses, the

children had the opportunity to feelseaweed, starfishes and stones at theaquarium.Although a bit hesitant at first, all

learners had a try, resulting in allsorts of sound from screaming tolaughing and giggling.

The pre-primary class at Vision AfriKa had their first ever outing to the V&A Waterfront Two Oceans Aquarium. With them is aGerman student, Clara Redd, who is now a facilitator at the school.

Afsprake vir tandarts nodigVanaf 1 Julie 2014 sal alle tandartsbesoeke aandie Idasvallei-kliniek slegs per afspraak wees.

Oop oggendsessies vir ondersoeke en ek-straksies sal terselfdertyd ook wegval.

Afsprake kan telefonies by 0 021 887 2016 ofpersoonlikbydiekliniekgemaakword,nielan-ger as een week vooruit nie.

As enige week en die daaropvolgende weekvolbespreekis, salafsprakesluit totdievolgen-de Maandag.

Noodgevalle kan sonder ’n afspraak toegangtot ’n tandarts verkry.

Elke geval sal geëvalueer word en waar no-dig na ’n tandarts verwys word.

Akute absesse of trauma aan die lippe oftandvleis as gevolg van ’n ongeluk of aanran-ding word as noodgevalle beskou.

Gewone tandpyn word nie as ’n noodgevalbeskou nie en pasiënte moet dus ’n afspraakmaak vir ’n ekstraksie.Die voordele van die nuwe reëling:1. Behandeling op die bespreekte dag, tensy

’n tandarts of mondhigiënis siek is en die af-

spraak daarom nie betyds verskuif kan wordnie.

2. Geen toustaan vroegoggend buite die kli-niek in die donker, koue of reënweer in diehoop op ’n afspraak nie.

3. ’nWerkgewerofskoolkanvooraf inkennisgestel word van ’n bespreekte tandartsbesoek.

4. Verskillende tydgleuwe vir ekstraksies:pasiënte wat van ver kom sal makliker toegangtot die kliniek verkry.

5. Wagtye sal korter wees, mits pasiënte be-tyds vir ’n afspraak opdaag.Samewerking van pasiënte:1. Wees asseblief bedagsaam teenoor mede-

pasiënte en kanselleer afsprake voortydig. ’nAnder pasiënt kan sodoende dan gehelp word.

2. Wees asseblief betyds vir ’n afspraak. Laat-kommers ontwrig die res van die dag se pro-gram en ’n afspraak sal ongelukkig gekansel-leer moet word indien ’n pasiënt laat opdaag.Ons vertrou dat hierdie nuwe afspraakstelselal ons pasiënte se behoeftes beter sal aan-spreek.

Biblioteek sluit vir ’n week in Augustus’n Voorraadopname word vir Pleinstraat-bibli-oteek beplan.

Die biblioteek sal dus gesluit wees vanafMaandag 4 Augustus tot Vrydag 8 Augustus.

Die biblioteek heropen weer op Maandag 11Augustus.

Die biblioteek en Stellenbosch-munisipali-teit vra verskoning vir enige ongerief.

Foodpods project launchedHeart Capital is launching a Foodpodsproject in Kayamandi aimed at creatingfood security in the area.

The project teaches locals how to plantand grow vegetables in order to sell themin their community.

The aim is to empower locals by teachingthem about how to sustain themselves byproducing vegetables using a low cost meth-od.

Foodpods use plastic crates, lined outwith a porous fabric and packed with soil,

to grow the seedlings.Heart Capital provides training and ad-

vises growers how to effectively grow andfarm vegetables. The growers will then har-vest the vegetables and sell the produce intheir community.

Growers will then buy a plant-ready cratefrom Foodpods and start the process ofplanting and growing again.

Heart Capital, established in 2011, seeksto address social issues such as foodsecurity, education and entrepreneurship.

Eco-schools projectfocuses on waterThe Department of Water andSanitation recently launched anew water-action project.

The Baswa le Meetse competitionand awards is a ministerial projectthat has been active since 2003 andwhich aims (through arts and dra-ma) to recognise the role of youngpeople in educating society about in-tegrated water management, sanita-tion, health and hygiene-related is-sues.The launch formed part of the

week-long Youth Summit on Waterand Climate Change, an intensiveeducation programme that address-es water, environmental issues andcareers.The summit is hosted by the de-

partment each year as one of theirkey activities for Youth Month.The new water action project, im-

plemented by WESSA Eco-schools,will transform the department’s ex-isting school-level Baswa le Meetse(Youth in Water) awards pro-gramme so that this competitionforms part of a water education pro-gramme that will encourage waterconservation and thewise use of wa-ter resources.The new Eco-Schools awards will

be open to all registered Eco-Schoolsfrom Grades R to 12.Participating schools will be re-

quired to set up a water actionproject that should aim to includethe entire school andmembers of thelocal community.The intention of the practice-

based focus of the competition is topromote meaningful action and theapplication of sustainable practices.

WESSAhaspreviouslybeenwork-ing with the department in theachievementof theirVision2020Wa-ter Education Programme.In 2013 the Eco-Schools pro-

gramme was selected by the depart-ment to assist in deepening thelearning and the implementation ofsustainable practices around waterat schools.The international Eco-Schools

programme itself has been imple-mented in the country since 2003 andis funded nationally byNampak andPetroSA.The awards project is another ex-

ample of government and civil socie-ty organisations working togethersuccessfully in theeducationanden-vironmental conservation fields.Earlier this week, the deputymin-

ister of Water and Sanitation,Pamela Tshwete, joined WESSAEco-SchoolsandtheFundisateachereducationnetworkandenvironmen-tal consulting companyGroundTruth, in awater quality testat the Modderfontein stream inEdenvale at the Ekurhuleni munici-pality.The activity formed part of the

practical component of the summit,where participating teachers wereshown how to “teach water” in thecurriculum.Tshwete was keen to learn more

about the miniSASS citizen sciencetool that is used to test water qualityin rivers, and was eager to find outhow this tool could empower com-munities to understand thehealth oftheir rivers and to identify whetherthe sources from which they drawwater are compromised.

Dié twee is vinnig besig om diesokkerveld aan die brand te speelen inderdaad kan hulle as die “Ri-sing Stars” van Hoërskool Cloe-tesville gedoop word.Nolan en Neil is ook goeie im-

pakspelers wat hul merk gelaathet in diemededingendeMrPriceskoleliga.Dit is die eerste keer in die 11-

jaar geskiedenis van dieMr Priceskole-kompetisie dat twee paretweelingbroers vir hul skool uit-draf.Neil en Nolan werk lekker

saam met die ander tweeling-broers, Andile en Wandile Yapi.Neil enNolan praat nie veel oor

hul prestasies op die speelveldnie.Maar, hul ondersteuners kan

nie genoeg van hulle kry nie.Die twee graad 12-leerders, wat

op 11 Augustus hul 18de verjaar-dag vier,mag dalk namekaar lyk,maar elkeen het sy eie belangstel-

lings.Nolan is mal oor die Liverpool-

sokkerspeler StevenGerrard, ter-wylNeil gaande isoor YayaTourevan Manchester City.Die twee wil graag beroepspe-

lers word, want “die sokkerbloed

vloei deur ons are”, sê Neil.Maar, indien dinge sou skeef-

loop wil Nolan eendag onderwy-serword, enNeil sienhomself aandie stuur van sy eie besigheid.Ashullenie virhul skool se sok-

kerspan uitdraf nie, dan speelhulle klubsokker vir VictoriaSwifts.Die tweetjies is mal oor kerrie

en pasta, en terwyl Nolan se gun-steling-fliek American Warshipsis hou Neil van die fliek Kickingand Screaming (sokker).Die twee hou van die idee dat

hulle saam vir hul skool en klubkan uitdraf, en por mekaar ge-reeld aan.Neil sê: ”Dit is die beste ding

wat nog ooit met my gebeur het.“Ek hou daarvan om vir my

skool te speel.“Dit is die eerste jaar dat ek vir

Cloetesville uitdraf, en sommerin die Mr Price skoleliga speel.“Ekhetnieverwagdat ekenNo-

lan dit so sal geniet nie.“Nóu wil ek die res van my

spanmaats aanmoedig omalles inte sit sodat ons die liga-trofee kanwen.“Dit is my droom om my skool

trots te maak.”

Youngsters beat Maluti with 2-1NCUMISA SIKO

The Mbekweni Sundowns havemanaged to take their easy threepoints in the firstdivision leagueafter Kayamandi Mighty FiveStars failed to pitch for the gamelast week.AccordingtooneofSundowns’

players, the game was supposedto takeplaceatKayamandistadi-um at 16:00, but they waited formore than 30 minutes for theKayamandi Stars.Many things came into play as

to why the other team did notpitch. Apparently the stadium

has only two fields and only twonets, and it had to be decidedwhich game was more impor-tant. And ultimately decisionshad to be made.The failure to therefore pitch

for the game has cost the homeside three points.Another game that made peo-

plenervous,wastheonebetweenMaluti and Youngsters. Thisgame ended with Youngsterswinning 2-1.Unlike the previous games,

this game was not for the leaguenor for the pride, this game wasformoney,anditwasamustwin.
