Qwaqwa librarian n<strong>om</strong>ina<strong>te</strong>d<br />
for prestigious award<br />
Mr Stoffel Kok S<strong>en</strong>ior Librarian<br />
on the Qwaqwa Campus has<br />
be<strong>en</strong> n<strong>om</strong>ina<strong>te</strong>d for the Free<br />
Sta<strong>te</strong>’s Bookdata/SAPnet Presid<strong>en</strong>t<br />
Award for Deserving LIASA (Library<br />
and Information Association of South<br />
Africa) members. Mr Kok has be<strong>en</strong> an<br />
active member of LIASA since the<br />
foundation of the association and he<br />
was one of the founders of the Eas<strong>te</strong>rn<br />
Free Sta<strong>te</strong> sub branch of LIASA.<br />
The library’s book collection has<br />
grown fr<strong>om</strong> 15 000 to 60 000 and a<br />
c<strong>om</strong>pu<strong>te</strong>r laboratory has be<strong>en</strong><br />
established in the library as well. Mr<br />
Kok has also initia<strong>te</strong>d a project for<br />
upc<strong>om</strong>ing authors. This project makes<br />
an important contribution to the cultural<br />
developm<strong>en</strong>t of the Eas<strong>te</strong>rn Free Sta<strong>te</strong>. Mr Stoffel Kok.<br />
UFS implem<strong>en</strong>ts B.Ed. degree<br />
on Qwaqwa Campus<br />
The UFS has tak<strong>en</strong> a s<strong>te</strong>p to<br />
address the shortage of <strong>te</strong>achers<br />
in the country by offering a B.Ed.<br />
degree in the further education and<br />
training (FET) phase at its Qwaqwa<br />
Campus as fr<strong>om</strong> January 2007.<br />
“The accredi<strong>te</strong>d B.Ed. qualification provides<br />
an opportunity to stud<strong>en</strong>ts to empower<br />
themselves to bec<strong>om</strong>e professional<br />
<strong>te</strong>achers in secondary schools. It<br />
is also suitable for the training of experts<br />
in education-rela<strong>te</strong>d careers such as<br />
instructors and trainers,” said Dr Elias<br />
Male<strong>te</strong>, acting principal of the UFS<br />
Qwaqwa Campus.<br />
According to Dr Male<strong>te</strong>, education in<br />
South Africa is heading for a disas<strong>te</strong>r<br />
owing to the large-scale exodus of<br />
<strong>te</strong>achers c<strong>om</strong>bined with the low <strong>en</strong>rolm<strong>en</strong>t<br />
figures of prospective <strong>te</strong>achers.<br />
“Approxima<strong>te</strong>ly 19 000 <strong>te</strong>achers leave<br />
the <strong>te</strong>aching profession annually, while<br />
all the training institutions in the country<br />
only manage to produce 4 800 new <strong>en</strong>trants<br />
to the profession,” he said.<br />
“Indications are that a considerable number<br />
of stud<strong>en</strong>ts, especially fr<strong>om</strong><br />
KwaZulu-Natal, want to study education<br />
at the Qwaqwa Campus. The implem<strong>en</strong>tation<br />
of the course will also address<br />
the need for qualified <strong>te</strong>achers in the<br />
country and contribu<strong>te</strong> to the sustainability<br />
of the campus,” said Dr Male<strong>te</strong>.<br />
“The B.Ed. is a four-year course.<br />
Prospective stud<strong>en</strong>ts who do not meet<br />
the admission requirem<strong>en</strong>ts may <strong>en</strong>roll<br />
for a one-year career preparation programme<br />
and successful c<strong>om</strong>pletion will<br />
provide them with admission to the<br />
degree the following year. Prospective<br />
stud<strong>en</strong>ts with an M score of 24-27 may<br />
<strong>en</strong>roll for an ext<strong>en</strong>ded B.Ed. programme<br />
over a period of five years,” said Dr<br />
Male<strong>te</strong>.<br />
Other education programmes that are<br />
offered at the Qwaqwa Campus include<br />
a B.Ed. Honours degree in Curriculum<br />
Studies, a B.Ed. Honours degree in<br />
Education Managem<strong>en</strong>t and Leadership<br />
and a Postgradua<strong>te</strong> Certifica<strong>te</strong> in<br />
Education (PGCE).<br />

Motorskema word<br />
weer inges<strong>te</strong>l<br />
Die UB het goedgekeur dat ’n motorskema<br />
vir personeel heringes<strong>te</strong>l<br />
word. Die skema is in<br />
November 2006 geïmplem<strong>en</strong><strong>te</strong>er. Volg<strong>en</strong>s<br />
mnr. Chris Lieb<strong>en</strong>berg, Direk<strong>te</strong>ur:<br />
Finansies, sal die struktuur van die<br />
motorskema waar die totale jaarlikse<br />
kos<strong>te</strong> van die voertuig tot 25% van die<br />
totale vergoedingspakket van die personeellid<br />
beperk word, in wese dieselfde<br />
bly, met ’n paar veranderinge.<br />
’n Salarisprysgawe sal vir die kos<strong>te</strong><br />
van die voertuig gedo<strong>en</strong> word met die<br />
gepaardgaande belastingv<strong>oor</strong>deel. Die<br />
salarisprysgawe vir die kos<strong>te</strong> van die<br />
voertuig sal eg<strong>te</strong>r uitgebrei word <strong>om</strong> die<br />
kos<strong>te</strong> van kapitaal, asook die totale<br />
loopkos<strong>te</strong> bv. brandstof, onderhoud,<br />
versekering <strong>en</strong> lis<strong>en</strong>sies, in <strong>te</strong> sluit.<br />
“Aangesi<strong>en</strong> hierdie kos<strong>te</strong> uit v<strong>oor</strong>belas<strong>te</strong><br />
ink<strong>om</strong>s<strong>te</strong> verhaal word, bring dit ’n<br />
verdere belastingv<strong>oor</strong>deel mee,” sê<br />
mnr. Lieb<strong>en</strong>berg. Die voertuig sal<br />
s<strong>te</strong>eds deel van die kort<strong>te</strong>rmynversekeringspor<strong>te</strong>feulje<br />
van die universi<strong>te</strong>it uitmaak.<br />
<strong>Personeel</strong> bly ook s<strong>te</strong>eds verantw<strong>oor</strong>delik<br />
vir die betaling van boe<strong>te</strong>s.<br />
“Nadat ’n deposito betaal is <strong>en</strong> die<br />
prys verminder is, sal die waarde van<br />
die voertuig vasges<strong>te</strong>l word,” sê mnr.<br />
Lieb<strong>en</strong>berg. Die skema maak v<strong>oor</strong>si<strong>en</strong>ing<br />
vir ’n reswaarde gebaseer op ’n<br />
billike markwaarde van die voertuig.<br />
Nog goeie nuus vir personeel wat in<br />
die skema belangs<strong>te</strong>l, maar ook hul begroting<br />
dophou, is dat r<strong>en</strong><strong>te</strong> <strong>te</strong><strong>en</strong> ’n laer<br />
koers, dit is prima min 2,25%, berek<strong>en</strong><br />
word (v<strong>oor</strong>he<strong>en</strong> prima minus 1%) <strong>en</strong><br />
sal berek<strong>en</strong> word op die kapitaal v<strong>oor</strong><br />
BTW. Voertuie sal <strong>te</strong><strong>en</strong> supervlootafslag<br />
aangekoop word, wat ’n verdere besparing<br />
<strong>te</strong>weeg kan bring. Indi<strong>en</strong> ’n personeellid<br />
’n nuwe voertuig <strong>te</strong><strong>en</strong> ’n laer<br />
prys kan aankoop, sal die<br />
voertuig <strong>te</strong><strong>en</strong> die verminderde<br />
prys aangekoop<br />
word. Die <strong>te</strong>rmyn<br />
kan <strong>oor</strong> <strong>en</strong>ige tydperkgestruktureer<br />
word <strong>om</strong><br />
dus meer by die<br />
individuele behoef<strong>te</strong>s<br />
van<br />
personeellede aan<br />
<strong>te</strong> pas.<br />
Tweedehandse<br />
voertuie wat aan sekere<br />
vereis<strong>te</strong>s wat ouderd<strong>om</strong> <strong>en</strong><br />
afstand afgelê voldo<strong>en</strong>, mag s<strong>te</strong>eds<br />
aangekoop word.<br />
Avis is aanges<strong>te</strong>l <strong>om</strong> die motorskema<br />
nam<strong>en</strong>s die universi<strong>te</strong>it <strong>te</strong> bedryf.<br />
<strong>Personeel</strong>lede sal van ’n vlootkaart<br />
v<strong>oor</strong>si<strong>en</strong> word wat vir alle instandhouding<br />
<strong>en</strong> brandstof gebruik moet word.<br />
Instandhouding word <strong>te</strong><strong>en</strong> supervlootpryse<br />
gedo<strong>en</strong> <strong>en</strong> personeellede het ’n<br />
keuse hoe hul instandhouding wil struktureer.<br />
’n Motorsorg-ins<strong>en</strong>tief mag aan<br />
personeel betaal word as motivering vir<br />
verantw<strong>oor</strong>delike sorg van die voertuig.<br />
Indi<strong>en</strong> die werklike kos<strong>te</strong> van alle instandhouding<br />
minder is as die geallokeerde<br />
bedrag vir instandhouding, word<br />
’n gedeel<strong>te</strong> van hierdie verskil aan die<br />
UV <strong>te</strong>rugbetaal. Hierdie bedrag sal aan<br />
personeel betaal word as ’n belasbare<br />
bonus drie maande na verstryking van<br />
die <strong>te</strong>rmyn. Voertuie moet deur ’n goedgekeurde<br />
handelaar vir die fabrikaat onderhou<br />
word. Probleme wat met die<br />
voertuig of instandhouding van die voertuig<br />
ondervind word, kan in samewerking<br />
met Avis han<strong>te</strong>er word.<br />
<strong>Personeel</strong> is nie verantw<strong>oor</strong>delik vir<br />
<strong>te</strong>kor<strong>te</strong> wat mag ontstaan wanneer die<br />
voertuig verkoop word nie, maar sal<br />
s<strong>te</strong>eds verantw<strong>oor</strong>delik wees vir die<br />
kos<strong>te</strong> wat nie deel van normale slytasie<br />
of gebruik, soos deur die South African<br />
Vehicle R<strong>en</strong>tal and Leasing Association<br />
aangedui, uitmaak nie.<br />
Die skema is goedgekeur op die<br />
beginsel dat dit nie addisionele kos<strong>te</strong><br />
vir die universi<strong>te</strong>it tot gevolg sal hê nie.<br />
“<strong>Personeel</strong>lede wat reeds van die<br />
bestaande skema gebruik maak, sal die<br />
opsie gebied word <strong>om</strong> in die gewysigde<br />
skema geïnkorporeer <strong>te</strong> word, alhoewel<br />
dit nie verpligt<strong>en</strong>d is nie,” sê mnr.<br />
Lieb<strong>en</strong>berg.<br />

UV bou superrek<strong>en</strong>aar<br />
Mnr. Albert van Eck.<br />
<strong>Personeel</strong> van Rek<strong>en</strong>aardi<strong>en</strong>s<strong>te</strong><br />
op die hoof kampus het<br />
in drie maande ’n supernavorsingsrek<strong>en</strong>aar<br />
gebou waarby<br />
<strong>en</strong>ige depar<strong>te</strong>m<strong>en</strong>t aan die universi<strong>te</strong>it<br />
kan baat vind as hulle simulasies<br />
met parallelle verwerkings<br />
nodig het. Die rek<strong>en</strong>aar bestaan uit<br />
62 gewone rek<strong>en</strong>aars wat aan ’n<br />
netwerk gekoppel is <strong>om</strong> parallelle<br />
verwerkings <strong>te</strong> do<strong>en</strong>. In ongeveer<br />
vier minu<strong>te</strong> kan dié rek<strong>en</strong>aar<br />
vergroot word, deur nog ’n node<br />
(rek<strong>en</strong>aar) by <strong>te</strong> voeg.<br />
Volg<strong>en</strong>s mnr. Albert van Eck,<br />
s<strong>te</strong>lselprogrammeerder by Rek<strong>en</strong>aardi<strong>en</strong>s<strong>te</strong>,<br />
kan dos<strong>en</strong><strong>te</strong> van die<br />
Depar<strong>te</strong>m<strong>en</strong><strong>te</strong> Mediese Fisika, Mikrobiologie<br />
<strong>en</strong> Biochemie <strong>en</strong> Chemie<br />
die rek<strong>en</strong>aar gebruik <strong>om</strong> verskill<strong>en</strong>de<br />
simulasies gelyktydig <strong>te</strong><br />
do<strong>en</strong>.<br />
Die groots<strong>te</strong> v<strong>oor</strong>deel van die<br />
rek<strong>en</strong>aar is die tyd wat dit spaar. ’n<br />
Aksie wat gewoonlik ti<strong>en</strong> dae sou<br />
neem, word nou in 24 minu<strong>te</strong><br />
gedo<strong>en</strong>.<br />
Supernavorsingsrek<strong>en</strong>aars is<br />
algeme<strong>en</strong> by ander universi<strong>te</strong>i<strong>te</strong> <strong>en</strong><br />
in die bedryf. Met onders<strong>te</strong>uning<br />
van sy kollegas in Rek<strong>en</strong>aardi<strong>en</strong>s<strong>te</strong><br />
het mnr. Van Eck besluit <strong>om</strong> ook so<br />
’n rek<strong>en</strong>aar <strong>te</strong> bou. “Ons gaan eg<strong>te</strong>r<br />
ook personeel van Rek<strong>en</strong>aarwet<strong>en</strong>skappe<br />
nader vir nuwe idees <strong>en</strong><br />
vaardighede,” sê hy.<br />
Mnr. van Eck nooi alle personeel<br />

at the Departm<strong>en</strong>t of Chemistry<br />
star<strong>te</strong>d working at the UFS in<br />
2001. Prior to that she worked as medical<br />
<strong>te</strong>chnologist at the Moroka hospital<br />
in Thaba ’Nchu af<strong>te</strong>r she and her husband<br />
and their son left Uganda.<br />
Four<strong>te</strong><strong>en</strong> years af<strong>te</strong>r c<strong>om</strong>pleting her<br />

decided to resume with her studies.<br />
She c<strong>om</strong>ple<strong>te</strong>d her Mas<strong>te</strong>rs in Organic<br />
chemistry, natural products and synthesis<br />
in 1997 and her in Ph.D. on the<br />
same topic, focusing on honey bush<br />
<strong>te</strong>a in 1999.<br />
Her research on honey bush <strong>te</strong>a<br />
contribu<strong>te</strong>d to the developm<strong>en</strong>t of<br />
honey bush <strong>te</strong>a as an industry. She<br />
found that honey bush <strong>te</strong>a has strong<br />
anti-oxidant properties and can be<br />
used to relieve hypert<strong>en</strong>sion, flu and<br />
m<strong>en</strong>opausal sympt<strong>om</strong>s. “It curbs hot<br />
flushes,” she said.<br />
Honey bush <strong>te</strong>a, originally fr<strong>om</strong> the<br />
Wes<strong>te</strong>rn Cape’s fynbos area, is now<br />
cultiva<strong>te</strong>d on farms elsewhere in South<br />
Africa. “The <strong>te</strong>a is produced and expor<strong>te</strong>d<br />
to countries such as Japan and<br />
Germany,” she says.<br />
Fr<strong>om</strong> a more g<strong>en</strong>eral point of view,<br />
Dr Kamara is researching natural products<br />
with a focus on plants with medicinal<br />
properties as well as herbal<br />
<strong>te</strong>as. In her la<strong>te</strong>st research she is<br />
focusing on Walnuts Juglans regia L.<br />
“These nuts have properties which can<br />
relieve metabolic syndr<strong>om</strong>es such as<br />
hypert<strong>en</strong>sion, blood sugar and<br />
diabe<strong>te</strong>s.<br />

Dr Kamara also successfully c<strong>om</strong>ple<strong>te</strong>d<br />
her Higher Education Dipl<strong>om</strong>a<br />
on a part time basis through UNISA.<br />
The knowledge and skills served her<br />
well because she won the excell<strong>en</strong>t<br />
lecturer’s award in the Faculty of Agricultural<br />
and Natural Sci<strong>en</strong>ces. “Stud<strong>en</strong>ts<br />
fr<strong>om</strong> the Afrikaans class<br />

att<strong>en</strong>ded my class and <strong>en</strong>joy it.” said<br />
Dr. Kamara.<br />
Although she made South Africa<br />
her h<strong>om</strong>e, Dr Kamara still misses her<br />
family in Uganda. She came to South<br />
Africa with her husband and one son.<br />
Today she has four childr<strong>en</strong>, three boys<br />
and a girl. Just like their mother they<br />
also believe in the value of education<br />
and are respectively studying<br />
Archi<strong>te</strong>cture, B.C<strong>om</strong>m. Marketing,<br />
Electr<strong>om</strong>echanical Engineering and<br />
Electrical Engineering.<br />
Wh<strong>en</strong> not in the lab Dr Kamara<br />
<strong>en</strong>joys sewing, gard<strong>en</strong>ing and reading.<br />
She can practically sew anything together.<br />
“I used to run my own business<br />
in sewing,” she said. She reads chemistry<br />
books and motivational books,<br />
so much so that she plans to one day<br />
wri<strong>te</strong> her own motivational book.<br />
“I believe that one should make a<br />
positive differ<strong>en</strong>ce in the lives of other<br />
people,” Dr Kamara said. With this<br />

‘People live in own little prisons’<br />
Prof. Das S<strong>te</strong>ÿn, head of the Departm<strong>en</strong>t<br />
of Urban and Regional<br />
Planning together with Mr Danie<br />
Schoeman, lecturer fr<strong>om</strong> this departm<strong>en</strong>t<br />
and old Kovsie, conduc<strong>te</strong>d a case study<br />
in Lang<strong>en</strong>hov<strong>en</strong> Park in Bloemfon<strong>te</strong>in, on<br />
the role of public space in de<strong>te</strong>rmining<br />
the quality of housing.<br />
According to Prof. S<strong>te</strong>ÿn it is important<br />
to connect public spaces and priva<strong>te</strong><br />
spaces in c<strong>om</strong>munity building. In creating<br />
a successful and sustainable neighbourhood<br />
it is necessary to have a c<strong>en</strong>tre,<br />
shops and offices to supply the weekly<br />
needs of a household, schools, churches,<br />
clinics, and a network of roads and<br />
walkways within a maximum of t<strong>en</strong><br />
minu<strong>te</strong>s walk to the c<strong>en</strong>tre. In the initial<br />
phases of Lang<strong>en</strong>hov<strong>en</strong> Park, provision<br />
was made for the developm<strong>en</strong>t of a<br />
c<strong>en</strong>tre with a series of op<strong>en</strong> spaces and<br />
facilities. However, it never fully<br />
developed into a neighbourhood. More<br />
than tw<strong>en</strong>ty years la<strong>te</strong>r Lang<strong>en</strong>hov<strong>en</strong><br />
Park does not have a school, neither a<br />
public transport sys<strong>te</strong>m, while its access<br />
roads cannot bear the peak hour-traffic.<br />
Prof. S<strong>te</strong>ÿn said: “The developers of<br />
la<strong>te</strong>r developm<strong>en</strong>ts were only in<strong>te</strong>res<strong>te</strong>d<br />
in developing their piece of land,<br />
irrespective of the holistic picture. Wh<strong>en</strong><br />
applying at the authorities to develop,<br />
developers crea<strong>te</strong> a misperception and<br />
receive permission to develop. They<br />
make ad hoc decisions which ignore<br />
policy as implem<strong>en</strong><strong>te</strong>d by the Town<br />
Council and their plans are not b<strong>en</strong>eficial<br />
to the c<strong>om</strong>munity. The lack of access<br />
rou<strong>te</strong>s to and fr<strong>om</strong> townhouse c<strong>om</strong>plexes<br />
is an example of such a practice. In the<br />
case of a crisis, occupants of these<br />
c<strong>om</strong>plexes would not be able to exit the<br />
area. Developers were also permit<strong>te</strong>d to<br />
develop in the buffer zone next to the N1<br />
and on the outskirts of Lang<strong>en</strong>hov<strong>en</strong><br />
Park, which is far fr<strong>om</strong> the c<strong>en</strong>tre.<br />
“Safety lies in a c<strong>om</strong>munity that must<br />
pro<strong>te</strong>ct each other and streets must be<br />
visible and accessible. Curr<strong>en</strong>tly people<br />
cannot feel safe in the streets. In most<br />
c<strong>om</strong>plexes occupants of townhouses<br />
cannot see what is going on in the<br />
streets (public areas) and will not be able<br />
to help if s<strong>om</strong>eone in the street needs<br />
help. Designs have to fall back on high<br />
walls and security f<strong>en</strong>ces to provide<br />
security.”<br />
Prof. S<strong>te</strong>ÿn and Mr Schoeman studied<br />
six c<strong>om</strong>plexes within Lang<strong>en</strong>hov<strong>en</strong><br />
Showing how townhouses are built with little regard for public space.<br />
Park, focusing on the public spaces in<br />
betwe<strong>en</strong> the units, the quality of these<br />
spaces and the effect of developm<strong>en</strong>t on<br />
these spaces. In most cases they found<br />
that the areas betwe<strong>en</strong> units are paved<br />
to reduce maint<strong>en</strong>ance, however paving<br />
<strong>en</strong>hances heat in summer. They also<br />
found that the public areas betwe<strong>en</strong> units<br />
are very antisocial. “The high wall does<br />

said.<br />

In die vorige Dumela het mnr. Gert<br />
van d<strong>en</strong> Berg, Direk<strong>te</strong>ur: In<strong>te</strong>rne Oudit<br />

sekere misdrywe, soos korrupsie <strong>en</strong><br />
bedrog uitgelig. Enige vorm van misdryf<br />
beh<strong>oor</strong>t beveg <strong>en</strong> uitgeroei <strong>te</strong> word.<br />
Hy bespreek ander misdrywe, soos<br />
vervalsing, diefstal, afpersing, nepotisme<br />
<strong>en</strong> verduis<strong>te</strong>ring wat in die werksplek<br />
v<strong>oor</strong>k<strong>om</strong>. Vervalsing, volg<strong>en</strong>s mnr. Van<br />
d<strong>en</strong> Berg word gepleeg indi<strong>en</strong> iemand<br />

met die opset <strong>om</strong> <strong>te</strong> bedrieg <strong>en</strong> hierdie<br />
optrede aanleiding gee tot werklike of<br />
pot<strong>en</strong>siële nadeel vir iemand anders.<br />
Hy sê: “Diefstal is weer die wederreg<strong>te</strong>like<br />
<strong>en</strong> opsetlike toe-ei<strong>en</strong>ing van ’n<br />
roer<strong>en</strong>de saak wat aan iemand anders<br />
beh<strong>oor</strong>t.<br />
“M<strong>en</strong>s h<strong>oor</strong> dikwels iemand beweer<br />
dat hy/sy afgepers word. Afpersing is die<br />

van ’n v<strong>oor</strong>deel van iemand anders deur<br />
druk op laasg<strong>en</strong>oemde uit <strong>te</strong> oef<strong>en</strong> wat<br />

Perdry baat m<strong>en</strong>ig<strong>te</strong> gestremdes<br />
Sielkunde-honneursstud<strong>en</strong><strong>te</strong> wat betrokke was by perdry<strong>te</strong>rapie vir gestremde kinders.<br />
Toe Madeline S<strong>te</strong><strong>en</strong>kamp <strong>en</strong><br />
Marinda Nagel, twee Sielkundehonneursstud<strong>en</strong><strong>te</strong><br />
met die aanvang<br />
van die jaar kon kies wat<strong>te</strong>r geme<strong>en</strong>skapstaak<br />
hul vir die jaar wou do<strong>en</strong>, het<br />
perdry<strong>te</strong>rapie na ’n groot uitdaging gelyk.<br />
Hulle het eg<strong>te</strong>r glad nie ’n idee gehad<br />
wat dit behels of hoe lon<strong>en</strong>d dit vir hulle<br />
<strong>en</strong> die kinders sou wees nie.<br />
Met ge<strong>en</strong> ondervinding <strong>om</strong> met gestremde<br />
kinders <strong>te</strong> werk nie, het hulle begin<br />
<strong>om</strong> verstandelik gestremde kinders<br />
by <strong>te</strong> staan, <strong>te</strong>rwyl hulle hul spiere ontwikkel<br />
op ’n perd. Volg<strong>en</strong>s Madeline <strong>en</strong><br />
Marinda het hulle al met die eers<strong>te</strong> sessie<br />
besef dat die kinders al dieselfde<br />
speletjies g<strong>en</strong>iet as ander kinders - al<br />
v<strong>oor</strong>deel is dat hierdie speletjies wat ander<br />
kinders do<strong>en</strong> vir pret, vir hierdie kinders<br />
soveel meer be<strong>te</strong>k<strong>en</strong>.<br />
Perdry werk baie goed op die kinders<br />
se motoriese funksies. Maak nie saak<br />
wat hulle gestremdheid is nie - die perdry<br />
<strong>en</strong>vironm<strong>en</strong>t are necessary.” The<br />
Institu<strong>te</strong> of Urban Studies and Archi<strong>te</strong>cture<br />
in New York has developed a list<br />
of guidelines for the evaluation of housing<br />
projects. This includes the pr<strong>om</strong>otion<br />
of social in<strong>te</strong>raction, visual and oral<br />
contact with play areas and easy access<br />
to these areas (for child supervision),<br />
minimising unse<strong>en</strong> non-active<br />
areas, pr<strong>om</strong>oting recognition of neighbours<br />
and defining public spaces and<br />
providing direct individual access.” He<br />
added: “The local municipality, that is<br />
baat absoluut elke kind. Madeline <strong>en</strong><br />
Marinda ver<strong>te</strong>l dit is eg<strong>te</strong>r ’n hele proses.<br />
“Aan die begin van die jaar was die fokus<br />
alle<strong>en</strong>lik daarop <strong>om</strong> die kind op die perd<br />
<strong>te</strong> hou <strong>en</strong> <strong>om</strong> hul die nodige selfvertroue<br />
<strong>te</strong> leer. Soos die tyd aangestap het, is<br />
daar elke week take bygevoeg <strong>om</strong> die<br />
kinders meer uit <strong>te</strong> daag. Ons kon<br />
let<strong>te</strong>rlik si<strong>en</strong> hoe elke kind hier verbe<strong>te</strong>r<br />
het gedur<strong>en</strong>de die jaar. N<strong>om</strong>onde, ’n<br />
verstandelik gestremde 8-jarige meisie,<br />
was aanvanklik baie bang <strong>en</strong> is nou e<strong>en</strong><br />
van die be<strong>te</strong>r rui<strong>te</strong>rs. ’n M<strong>en</strong>s kan si<strong>en</strong><br />
haar emosies het ook baie verander. Sy<br />
is baie meer gelukkig as wat sy aan die<br />
begin van die jaar was <strong>en</strong> glad nie meer<br />
so skrikkerig nie.<br />
“Dit is moeilik <strong>om</strong> in w<strong>oor</strong>de <strong>te</strong> skryf<br />
wat hierdie jaar vir ons be<strong>te</strong>k<strong>en</strong> het.<br />
Hierdie kinders het ons geleer wat dit is<br />
<strong>om</strong> regtig <strong>te</strong> veg vir iets. Die kinders was<br />
v<strong>oor</strong>waar ’n inspirasie,” volg<strong>en</strong>s Madeline<br />

Di<strong>en</strong>s<strong>te</strong> wat die Kovsie MIV/Vigss<strong>en</strong>trum<br />
<strong>lewer</strong>:<br />
• Berading <strong>en</strong> toetsing van stud<strong>en</strong><strong>te</strong><br />
<strong>en</strong> personeel op ’n vrywillige<br />
basis. Ongeveer 20 persone,<br />
meestal stud<strong>en</strong><strong>te</strong>, word per week<br />
getoets. Dit vergelyk baie goed<br />
met ander universi<strong>te</strong>i<strong>te</strong> soos die<br />
Universi<strong>te</strong>it van Pretoria, wat ook<br />
ongeveer 20 persone per week<br />
toets.<br />
• V<strong>oor</strong>toetsberadingsessies waar<br />
beide partye in die verhouding<br />
gesi<strong>en</strong> word. Persone kan ook<br />
vra vir e<strong>en</strong>-tot-e<strong>en</strong> sessies.<br />
ideaal is dat personeel <strong>en</strong> stud<strong>en</strong><strong>te</strong> meer<br />
ontvanklik is vir persone met MIV/ Vigs.<br />
M<strong>en</strong>se wat geïnfek<strong>te</strong>er is met die MIV/<br />
Vigsvirus moet bereid kan wees <strong>om</strong> hul<br />
status bek<strong>en</strong>d <strong>te</strong> maak. Die UV het ’n<br />
wonderlike beleid, maar die praktiese<br />
toepassing daarvan is nie daar nie <strong>om</strong>dat<br />
personeel <strong>en</strong> stud<strong>en</strong><strong>te</strong> se houding<br />
nie reg is nie.”<br />
Die span by die Kovsie MIV/Vigss<strong>en</strong>trum<br />
het ’n verskeid<strong>en</strong>heid inisiatiewe<br />
<strong>om</strong> persone op kampus wat met<br />
MIV/Vigs geïnfek<strong>te</strong>er of geaffek<strong>te</strong>er is,<br />
by <strong>te</strong> staan, ’n Uitvloeisel hiervan is inligtingsessies<br />
aan personeel sowel<br />
as stud<strong>en</strong><strong>te</strong>. Verskeie onderwerpe<br />
wat verband hou met MIV/Vigs<br />
word tyd<strong>en</strong>s hierdie<br />
inligtingsessies bespreek. Dr.<br />
Basson fokus op dit wat<br />
m<strong>en</strong>se pla <strong>en</strong> waar<strong>oor</strong> hulle<br />
graag wil praat. M<strong>en</strong>se raak<br />
vigs-vermoeid as hulle elke<br />
keer na dieselfde aanbieding<br />
Dr. Petro Basson.<br />
• ’n Onders<strong>te</strong>uningsgroep. In<br />
hierdie groep het persone die<br />
gele<strong>en</strong>theid <strong>om</strong> op<strong>en</strong>baar <strong>te</strong> maak<br />
dat hy of sy geïnfek<strong>te</strong>er is met die<br />
MIV/Vigsvirus. Die stap help baie<br />
<strong>om</strong> <strong>te</strong> ontlaai. Huidiglik gebruik 27<br />
m<strong>en</strong>se in totaal die<br />
onders<strong>te</strong>uningsgroep. Persone wat<br />
geaffek<strong>te</strong>er word deur die siek<strong>te</strong> kry<br />
ook die gele<strong>en</strong>theid <strong>om</strong> vrae <strong>te</strong> vra.<br />
• Verspreiding van kond<strong>om</strong>e op kampus<br />
na al die geboue met kondo<strong>om</strong>houers.<br />
Alhoewel dr. Basson t<strong>en</strong><br />
guns<strong>te</strong> is van onthouding, maak die<br />
Vigss<strong>en</strong>trum met die hulp van die<br />
Depar<strong>te</strong>m<strong>en</strong>t Fisiese Hulpbronne<br />
wel v<strong>oor</strong>si<strong>en</strong>ing vir m<strong>en</strong>se wat<br />
seksueel-aktief is. Daar is ook<br />
personeel wat die kond<strong>om</strong>e gebruik<br />
vir gesinsbeplanning.<br />
• Inligtingsessies <strong>oor</strong> MIV/Vigs vir<br />
personeel. Omdat dit moeilik is <strong>om</strong><br />
personeel by die inligtingsessies <strong>te</strong><br />
betrek, is ons bereid <strong>om</strong><br />
inligtingsessies aan <strong>te</strong> bied <strong>oor</strong><br />
verwan<strong>te</strong> onderwerpe soos deur<br />
personeel <strong>en</strong> stud<strong>en</strong><strong>te</strong> versoek, bv.<br />
hoe han<strong>te</strong>er ek iemand wat vir/saam<br />
met my werk wat MIV-positief is,<br />
sielkundige aspek<strong>te</strong> van MIVinfek<strong>te</strong>ring,<br />
wat <strong>oor</strong> MIV moet ek<br />
met my kinders bespreek, is vroue<br />
18<br />
<strong>oor</strong> Vigs moet luis<strong>te</strong>r. Volg<strong>en</strong>s dr.<br />
Basson is dit belangrik <strong>om</strong> <strong>oor</strong><br />
verskill<strong>en</strong>de aspek<strong>te</strong> van die siek<strong>te</strong> <strong>te</strong><br />
praat <strong>en</strong> nie net elke keer op die<br />
mediese aspek<strong>te</strong> <strong>te</strong> fokus nie.<br />
Dr. Basson sê: “Onkunde lei eg<strong>te</strong>r<br />
nie net tot stigmatisering nie, maar ook<br />
tot to<strong>en</strong>em<strong>en</strong>de bloots<strong>te</strong>lling aan die<br />
MIV-virus. Daar is individue wat ontk<strong>en</strong><br />
dat hulle seksueel-aktief is, <strong>te</strong>rwyl hulle<br />
wel seksueel-aktief is <strong>om</strong>dat hulle nie<br />
weet wat seks is nie. Hulle dink dan dat<br />
dit wat hulle do<strong>en</strong> nie gekoppel is aan<br />
risikogedrag nie. Daar is gelukkig ook<br />
persone wat hul twee keer per jaar laat<br />
toets, wat ’n goeie t<strong>en</strong>d<strong>en</strong>s is. Sodra<br />
m<strong>en</strong>se hulle gereeld laat toets, verminder<br />
hulle risikogedrag.”<br />
Sou sy die minis<strong>te</strong>r van gesondheid<br />
wees, sal almal hulle elke ses maande<br />
moet laat toets vir MIV/Vigs, sal m<strong>en</strong>se<br />
wat positief toets ges<strong>te</strong>riliseer word <strong>en</strong><br />
sal dié wat hulle nie laat toets nie, belasting<br />
verswaring kry…<br />

aangepas <strong>om</strong> van toepassing <strong>te</strong><br />
wees op die geh<strong>oor</strong>. <strong>Personeel</strong> is<br />
welk<strong>om</strong> <strong>om</strong> dr. Basson <strong>te</strong> kontak<br />
by bassonpn.rd@mail.uovs.ac.za<br />
vir meer inligting in die verband.<br />
• Die s<strong>en</strong>trum sluit ’n eweknieopleidingsk<strong>om</strong>pon<strong>en</strong>t<br />
in met die<br />
leuse Rutanang. Rutanang is ’n<br />
Sotho-w<strong>oor</strong>d wat be<strong>te</strong>k<strong>en</strong> “leer<br />

stud<strong>en</strong><strong>te</strong> wat opgelei is in alle<br />
aspek<strong>te</strong> rond<strong>om</strong> MIV asook ander<br />
lew<strong>en</strong>svaardighede soos<br />
gesinsbeplanning. Die doel van<br />
die program is <strong>om</strong> risikogedrag<br />
van stud<strong>en</strong><strong>te</strong> <strong>te</strong> verminder. Die<br />
groep het ’n baie s<strong>te</strong>rk invloed op<br />
kampus. Die stud<strong>en</strong><strong>te</strong> is self in<br />
koshuise wat dit maklik maak <strong>om</strong><br />
hul inligting <strong>oor</strong> MIV/Vigs met<br />
ander stud<strong>en</strong><strong>te</strong> <strong>te</strong> deel. ’n<br />
Onders<strong>te</strong>uningsgroep vir persone<br />
wat vir drie maande of meer<br />
hulself van seks weerhou het of<br />
wat nog nooit seksueel aktief was<br />
nie, is in die pyplyn. Dié inisiatief<br />
sal ’n uitvloeisel wees van die<br />
eweknieopleiersprogram.
