Guest: DR.

Second, her engagement with different als’ across South Africa and abroad as an external examiner. Last, her interest and focus on alternate and mainstream materials and technology(ies) in building construction. The latter grounds both her design and technology studios that explore four questions: (1) how students acquire knowledge; (2) how students interpret knowledge; (3) how students represent knowledge to show their understanding (4) how students transform existing knowledge systems https://www.news.uct.ac.za/article/-2020-06-05-a-time-to-build-up https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jEs_KaH-9nk https://ufs.academia.edu/philippatumubweinee/CurriculumVitae

GUEST: MADODA NDLAKUSE - Writer, Translator, Literacy Mentor The country is facing a reading crisis with 41% of South Africans owning fewer than 10 books, according to a survey by the Paper Manufacturers Association of South Africa (Pamsa). https://www.liferighting.com/portfolio/bio-madoda-ndlakuse/ But owning books should not be the sole measure of South Africa’s literacy culture and access to them in all forms should be improved, Pamsa’s executive director Jane Malony said. “Books in libraries and similar facilities and books in a diversity of languages for South Africans. Picture books for little hands and developing brains also hold tremendous power, and ideally the books should be paper,” she said. The survey showed that when reading for leisure, 32% of participants preferred paper books to electronic versions. Julia Norrish, the executive director of Book Dash, a nonprofit publisher of African picture books for young children, said the survey offered valuable insights to reading preferences. “Many people find print materials valuable in their daily life and in how they prefer to consume information. Unfortunately, this doesn’t always correlate to how many people own and access books,” she said. The process of creating books and distributing them takes skill, time and money, which makes them unaffordable for most families, she added. But if children have access to books when they’re very young, it can increase their chances of success in life. A language barrier can also contribute to the low rate of people reading, particularly as only 2% of children’s books published commercially in South Africa are in local African languages, Pamsa said. “In a country where eight out of 10 people speak a home language that is not English or Afrikaans, creating relatable stories in indigenous languages is critical if we hope to improve childhood literacy and inspire a love for reading in future generations,” it said. Malony believes that access to books is important for early childhood development because it helps young ones develop their language and comprehension skills. “Countless research studies have shown that paper-based materials promote reading comprehension, information retention and learning and that print-based texts are superior to digital texts in facilitating learning strategies,” she said. According to the 2016 Progress in International Reading Literacy Study, almost 80% of Grade 4 learners are not able to read for meaning in South Africa. Melusi Tshabalala, the author of Gogo Magic and Her Food Truck, believes the problem is not the reading platform. “The country doesn’t have a big reading culture so whether it’s physical books or digital, people are not interested. People need to fall in love with reading, regardless of the medium or platform,” he said. Tshabalala praised the work done by organisations such as Nali’bali, a national campaign aimed at children up to the age of 12, saying that any organisation that promotes reading, particularly among children, should be commended and supported. “We need more stories that are relevant to our kids’ lives and realities — stories with kids like them and families like theirs,” he said. Tshabalala’s book tells the story of 18-year-old Tumelo and two of his younger siblings, Akhile and Azande, who wanted to share their awesome gogo with other children — especially those who live far from theirs or don’t have one. “I also brought it (story) to life by launching a food truck that sells the food mentioned in the book, prepared by my mother, whose actual name is Magic, just like uGogo in the book,” said Tshabalala. The book is available electronically and the Gogo Magic food truck operates out of the Fourways Farmers Market in Modderfontein, Johannesburg on weekends. https://mg.co.za/education/2023-02-01-whether-its-digital-or-books-reading-helps-children-succeed-study-shows/

February is International Mother Language month and the 21st Mother Language Day. It is also the beginning of UNESCO’s Decade of Indigenous Languages. GUEST: TERENCE BALL - Publisher at Heritage Publisher What practically is being done to strengthen and preserve our indigenous languages and the other inseparable elements of our heritage, the diverse history and culture of South Africa’s people? Ancestral Voices: South Africa’s largest, most unique indigenous heritage and language preservation project. A partnership between South African Heritage Publishers, The Special Collections Unit University of Pretoria, South African National Lexicography Units, South African High Commission to the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland.Written by mother tongue speakers, many after interviewing the then elderly, these writings contain information on every aspect of the history and culture of the people written about as told and recorded by members of those communities.In addition to the transcription and translation of these works we are trying to trace descendants of the 186 different authors who contributed 891 writings to the collection to produce brief biographies of each and trace their graves. We live among the last generations able to source this information forthe historical record. Together with our partners we are also trying to establish the meaning of indigenous language words used in the writings that have fallen into disuse and their meaning lost. From the descendants traced so far and, other sources available to us, we’ve discovered that theoldest authors to date were born in 1852 and the youngest in 1918. Menziwa Merriman Balfour and Rev. Mpasa, the oldest, wrote histories of the Amarharhabe and Batlokwa of Mmatshaka in isiXhosaand Sesotho sa Leboa respectively while the youngest, Noel Johannes Mabale, wrote his works in Xitsonga at the age of only twenty four. Most authors were, teachers of members of the cloth, someboth, and traditional leaders. One nurse and a well known isiZulu journalist were also contributors. Written nearly one hundred years ago and considering the age of the authors, many among the first in their community to be literate, record the oldest transfer of historical and cultural informationthrough oral tradition. http://www.saheritagepublishers.co.za/ancestral-voices/

Guest: Alexanda Trinder – Smith: Executive Director: Siyavula Foundation This month, Siyavula Foundation kickstarted the HeadSTARt campaign which encourages the learners to start their year off strong by setting goals related to what they would like to achieve in Maths and Science for the year. The campaign ends on Tuesday 14 March (International Maths Day). Siyavula supports learners across the country by providing free and open online Maths and Science textbooks, as well as a complementary practice service (also free) to promote learning in these subjects. Learners can access both the textbooks and the platform from any internet-enabled mobile device at no cost - our site is zero-rated on most of the major telecom networks, so it doesn't cost them anything in data. In addition, teachers can also access the platform with a basic 'freemium' account to monitor learner progress and gain insights as to specific areas in which each learner may need guidance and targeted assistance. Key stats for 2022 1,6 million South African high school students using the Siyavula platform every year More than 50% of all FET Maths and Science students in South Africa use Siyavula in their studies. 350,000 new learners register to use the adaptive practice software 33 million questions delivered and marked for students. 30,000+ registered teachers on Siyavula with 8,000 active users 7,000 schools with active learners and teachers using Siyavula. Other facts Siyavula is free for learners and is zero rated on MTN, Vodacom, Telkom. Siyavula has an established relationship with DBE, GDE, WCED and other provinces to promote the adoption and use of Siyavula which is tracked and reported to stakeholders on a monthly basis. Siyavula has a curriculum aligned offering for Nigeria and Rwanda and expanding alignment to new African curricula. Siyavula annually hosts #1MillionMaths (see video), the largest online Maths and Science competition in SA. Siyavula issues an online mastery certificate and portfolio of work done on Siyavula which students can download or share. This certificate is the link between school and youth employment or career services. The My Future section of Siyavula channels students from Siyavula to career opportunity providers along with their certificate.

NGO, NPO, NPC, PBO – all these acronyms lead to confusion as to where charitable organisations and other similar entities fit into the equation. This also speaks to the funding models and criteria for each of these organisations, interrogating the issue of governance, transparency, and accountability in the organisational operations. NGO stands for a Non-governmental Organisation and is an international term used to describe a voluntary group or institution with a social mission, which operates independently from the government. Although these terms are not necessarily interchangeable, an organisation similar to an NGO may also be called non-profit, charity, non-profit organisation (NPO) or a voluntary organisation. A Non-profit Organisation (NPO) is a trust, company or other association of persons established for a public purpose. The income and property of these organisations are not distributable to the members or office bearers except for reasonable compensation for services rendered to the organisation. NPOs are required to register with the Department of Social Development under the NPO Act and must register with SARS as taxpayers. NPOs may apply for approval as a tax-exempt institution (see PBO underneath) if they meet the relevant requirements. NPC is the acronym for a Non-profit Company and is defined as a company incorporated for a public benefit. Here again the income and property are not distributable to the incorporators, members, directors or any office bearers. NPCs are required to register with the Companies Intellectual Property Commission (CIPC) under the Companies Act, must register with SARS as taxpayers and may also apply for approval as tax exempt institutions (see PBO underneath) if they meet requirements vant require

GUEST: RAYMOND PERRIER - DIRECTOR DENIS HURLEY CENTRE In 2022 Denis Hurley Centre director Raymond Perrier said that the centre will soon be launching a regular Street Law clinic in conjunction with the UKZN Law Clinic at the Denis Hurley Centre. Bringing lawyers to the streets of Durban. We find out how it is going AS part of the fourth year of their studies, University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN) law students are encouraged to do a Street Law project – to get a better understanding of what the law is like when it hits the streets. In 2018, they started going to the Denis Hurley Centre as an option, and post-Covid, the centre has welcomed new students back this year. According to the Denis Hurley Centre’s director, Raymond Perrier, 20 students visited the centre two days each week from April to June, and another 20 are now completing their outreach at the centre from August to October. “The students engage with the homeless people in Paddy Kearney Way between breakfast and lunch. But they also help prepare and serve the meals; this is an important way of them building the trust of our visitors,” said Perrier. Perrier says that one of the hardest lessons for the students to learn is that most of the time they cannot solve problems – but they can be valuable just by being willing to listen. “They work in pairs, and there is always at least one Zulu speaker in each pair to facilitate easy communication. Where appropriate, they can give advice on legal matters and also teach people about their rights. In some cases, they take a witness statement of an incident – or help a homeless person to learn what makes for a good witness statement in the future.”
