Technical schools pupils overcome lack of funds to be innovativeAs SA continues to live in the shadow of load-shedding and petrol hikes,pupils from two Gauteng schools of specialisation – the Soshanguve Automotive School of Specialisation and John Orr Engineering School of Specialisation in Johannesburg – have built a solar-powered train and car respectively.The pupils looked at the crisis the country finds itself in and came up withinnovative solutions using solar energy.The innovative projects were among creations by university students showcased at the Sasol Innovation Expo held at Carnival City in Brakpan, on theEast Rand, on Thursday.This made the schools the only ones that participated in the expo.When Sowetan visited the Soshanguve Automotive School of Specialisation,north of Pretoria, on Friday, matric pupils showcased their amazing traincalled Modjadji, which is named after the late Rain Queen, Makobo Modjadji, who died in June 2005. The blue train has mirrors, wipers and carpets.It consists of four solar panels to power it up, a motor and a 46V battery thatcan run the train up to a speed of 60km/h.Civil technology (construction) pupil Lethabo Nkadimeng, who came up withthe idea to build the train in 2020, when he was in grade 10, said he wasproud of the end-product as they had worked hard to put it together whentime was not on their side.“We had to carry both the co-curriculum and extracurriculum syllabus in ashort time,” he said, emphasising that academically they had to performabove 90% to pass.“The structure was manufactured and done by the mechanical engineeringpupils while the electrical engineering pupils did the auto electrical work,which is the lights and wipers.“The mechanical engineering pupils also had to connect the motors and allthe wheels to run the train while the civil engineering pupils dealt with thewooden flooring and carpets,” said Nkadimeng.He said he had known about the expo when he had an idea of building thesolar-powered train but when they completed the project the school had entered it for the expo Guest: Ronnie Masindi Guest: Princess Nkwana

Guest: Dr Liani Maasdorp - Climate Story Lab ZA co-director, impactconsultant and UCT film lecturer.Climate Story Lab ZA invites Southern African creatives to submit innovative andimaginative projects for an opportunity to participate in a four-day residential labnear Cape Town in January 2023.Calling creatives to act on the most pressing emergency facing humanity - the climatecrisis. The first Climate Story Lab ZA is an incubator aimed at shifting the narrative andamplifying communication around climate change in order to make positive impactsagainst the global crisis.• The work and mission of Climate Story Lab• The call to creatives and their role on issues of climate change• The work you hope to be produced by the creatives• How they can take part and where to find additional informationApplications can be made online: https://climatestorylabza.org/application-form/and close on 7 October at 5pm.Climate Story Lab ZA calls for submissions of creative narrative-based projectswhether they are films, animation, social media campaigns, XR/VR/AR, theatre,dance, stand-up comedy, poetry, children’s/teen/adult fiction writing, podcasts,visual art, performance art – anything that uses a creative medium to communicate a message about climate change.Up to eight projects will be selected for CSL ZA, and up to two team membersper project will be invited to a four-day lab near Cape Town from 22 to 26 January2023. The lab will focus on developing the stories, designing impact strategies,and introducing projects to potential partners.Creatives from Southern African countries including Angola, Botswana, Eswatini,DRC, Lesotho, Malawi, Mauritius, Mozambique, Namibia, Seychelles, SouthAfrica, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe may apply.“We keep hearing about the issue and how dire the situation is,” explains Dr LianiMaasdorp, CSL ZA co-director, impact consultant and UCT film lecturer. “Peoplefeel overwhelmed and sometimes don't do anything because they don't think theycan make a difference. But one person can - as long as we all do something. Statistics and graphs don't move people to action, but emotions do. That is why weare inviting creatives to come together to make their stories as strong as possibleand make sure they reach the right audiences to take action against the climatecrisis.”“We see creatives as a kind of emergency corps rushing in at a time when globalleaders are just not acting fast enough,” explains Anita Khanna, climate justiceactivist, producer and CSL ZA co-director. “Creatives can help spread the message about how urgent this is, push back against false solutions to the crisis inaccessible ways, help to get people to see that climate impacts are affectingevery part of their lives, and importantly, give us a vision of a world that sustainslife, not one that destroys it.”“We firmly believe that storytelling can reach into the hearts and minds of peopleand shift behaviour and inspire action. Now is the time to harness our creative energy to support urgent and innovative action on the climate crisis” says Miki Redelinghuys, CSL ZA co-director, documentary filmmaker and impact producer.This intensive residential Lab is supported by the UMI Fund and hosted by theUCT Centre for Film and Media Studies in partnership with Doc Society and theClimate Story Unit

Guest: Dr. Sian Tiley-Nel, Head of the University of Pretoria Museums NEW BOOK ON MAPUNGUBWE ARCHIVE "PAST IMPERFECT: The Contested Early History of the Mapungubwe Archive, South Africa" by Sian Tiley-Nel. Guest: DR. SIAN TILEY-NEL - Head of University of Pretoria Museums Mapungubwe is a world heritage site and national park located on the border be-tween South Africa, Zimbabwe and Botswana. From about 1000 AD the settlement there developed into a major African state before being abandoned by the 1300s. Mapungubwe has been the subject of diverse scientific enquiry and archaeological research since the early 1930s. As a heritage site, however, it challenges colonial, nationalist and apartheid views of prehistory. The vast global trade that’s evi-denced by masses of trade glass beads and local artisanship of metals at Mapun-gubwe shows that Africa was not a ‘dark continent’, devoid of technology and inno-vation. Mapungubwe’s prehistory was excluded during apartheid to support more Eurocentric views of South Africa’s past. Now a new book, Past Imperfect, offers a study of this archive of research and reveals gaps, silences and missing voices, some deliberately erased. The author, a curatorial specialist, historian and archae-ologist, Sian Tiley-Nel, discusses her findings. What is the Mapungubwe Archive? For more than two decades the Mapungubwe Collection has been on public dis-play at the University of Pretoria. The world-class collection, including a famous gold rhino and other significant materials, is a critical research collection for the precolonial era. It has been viewed by hundreds of thousands of people since be-ing made more accessible after 1999 at the University of Pretoria. The same cannot be said for the associated Mapungubwe Archive, which for dec-ades lay in departmental storerooms at the university in boxes, as old papers and ageing photographs. As an academic, historian and conservator, I was responsible for the archive, which was often unfunded and unvalued as a research asset. It was only in 2018, when I submitted a grant application to the US Ambassadors Fund for Cultural What was neglected and what would the missing voices tell us? The gaps, silences and missing voices in the Mapungubwe Archive usually indi-cate highly selected material that was deliberately not kept and is most probably in private possession or was simply destroyed. There were missing letters, photo-graphs and other content. There were gaps in the archive chronology, no field re-ports and the like. Some of the Mapungubwe Archive material is related to when the site was used as a military terrain on the farm Greefswald. Many military rec-ords are tied up in the Department of Defence and some still have an embargo. Other forms of missing narratives outlined in the book refer to the neglect of oral history and indigenous knowledge of Mapungubwe Hill as a sacred site by local communities. Fortunately the recognition of community voices has increased over the decades. Is this the case in many archives in South Africa? Sadly, the destruction, reckless handling and poor conservation efforts of historical records is notable and widespread even today, globally. The book acknowledges upfront the loss of countless important South African archives over years, not just by research institutions, but by government, private and public institutions as well. Yet the fact remains that the Mapungubwe Archive does exist. Even if with gaps and omissions, it remains one South Africa’s greatest heritage archives for the continent
