Ozzy Nel is COO and newly appointed board member of SA Harvest, the food rescue and hunger relief organisation that has rescued over 10,6 million tonnes of food from going to waste and delivered it to more than 200 beneficiaries across South Africa, resulting in the delivery of over 35,3 million meals.

Nel believes his position at SA Harvest brings him full circle in his life. “At 16 my brother and I got involved with communities in Ivory Park and the surrounding areas – we did development work, played soccer, and taught martial arts, while my parents taught reading and writing.”

After matriculating in 1996, Nel studied extensively to become a chef, as well as a manager and team builder extraordinaire. When he built his own team to work with him in restaurant management, he chose people from the areas where he had worked as a youngster – that was 20 years ago, and many of the original team are with him today at SA Harvest.

He describes a core strength as “managing multiple outlets” which he did as he worked for several years with Jamie Oliver and various other upmarket restaurants. When the pandemic struck and he lost all his restaurant business, he by chance encountered airline entrepreneur Gidon Novick who is also chairman of SA Harvest. Nel’s response was instant. He wanted to volunteer.

His skills, insight, cheffing experience and most importantly, his passion for supporting vulnerable people, ensured that was a perfect fit for the SA Harvest structure.

Alan Browde, CEO of SA Harvest, says Nel’s influence is felt throughout SA Harvest’s operations. “From budgeting, procurement, and warehouse management to logistics control, marketing, and digital systems, and from diesel engines to relationship building, Ozzy keeps things running professionally.”

Ozzy’s ‘team’ includes the whole SA Harvest family: team mates, beneficiaries, benefactors, donors, food partners and suppliers. Browde adds, “SA Harvest has become a major player in the fight to end hunger in South Africa in three short years, and we couldn’t have done this without Ozzy’s dedication to his team and to ending hunger in South Africa.”

Nel says joining SA Harvest was a remarkably eye-opening experience. “In the restaurants we had made an effort to reduce food waste and direct it to vulnerable communities, but I had no idea that 10 million tons of food waste go into landfills in South Africa each year, while millions go hungry and child malnutrition is a major issue.”

He’s delighted to be part of an organisation that is helping to reduce hunger, but adds that “we’ve only scratched the surface of the systemic issue of food waste and hunger. We have a long way to go and we’re working at involving as many people as possible. There’s space for everybody.”

Looking ahead, Nel says the country is still in a crisis situation as far as the need for moving food to vulnerable communities is concerned, but what is most exciting is the opportunity for SA Harvest to be involved in systemic interventions that can change the broken food system in South Africa.

ABOUT SA HARVEST
SA Harvest is taking a revolutionary approach to ending hunger by addressing the systemic causes and leveraging innovative technology, while simultaneously tackling the immediate need through the effective solution of rescuing nutritious food and delivering it where it’s needed most.

Early childhood education to stimulate the early learning of young children. It often includes formal and informal teaching methods and activities such as playing, storytelling, outdoor exploration, music, art, and more. Prioritising this type of early learning helps prepare children for the next phase of their school career by building the foundation for future language and literacy skills, problem-solving abilities and social interaction.

St John’s Christian Brothers’ College is a proud independent Catholic school based in Parklands, Cape Town. As a school that continuously strives to maintain an environment that nurtures faith, family, excellence and diversity, its dedicated teachers and staff understand the importance of early childhood education. To better ensure that they support the development of bold, compassionate and committed individuals, they have created a campus that consists of three schools to cater for the needs of students aged 2 to Matric.

More About St John’s Christian Brothers’ College

As a successful private school, St John’s Christian Brothers’ College aims to embrace each phase of its student’s educational journeys to support their development into leaders of tomorrow! Their mission is to provide every student with an enriched holistic education based on Gospel values and support each child’s unique potential.

Their well-equipped educational environment provides each student with the tools to positively challenge them to think critically, be innovative in their actions and remain persistent with their goals. This combination shapes them for their future roles in society and allows for a strong sense of self.

Supporting Early Childhood Education

Early childhood education also helps foster an early appreciation for learning that can help children succeed later in life. Many early childhood programs are designed to nurture a child’s physical, social, emotional and cognitive development through various hands-on activities. By providing children with these early educational experiences, early childhood education can help to close the achievement gap and create a strong foundation for success in school.

St John’s Christian Brothers’ College offers a 3-year preschool curriculum that merges the CAPS curriculum and the principles of self-discovery learning. It goes above and beyond to give students what they need to prepare for primary and high school.

Furthermore, their Little Saints learn through play and experience and benefit from a creative education that encourages the use of imagination and critical thinking. By creating an environment where students feel comfortable, the leaders at this school hope to support each individual in their school career to reach their full potential.

In January thousands of young minds will make the giant leap from pre-school to a formal education. Starting Grade 1 is a big moment for parents and children and being well prepared beforehand can pay significant dividends.

Grade 1 teacher at St Martins Preparatory School, Kaylee Randall, recommended that parents should start conversation with their children about school as soon as possible. She said: “It’s all in the preparation. And parents need to get their minds around the idea of ‘big school’ before stepping up to the task of preparing youngsters.”

Randall added that it’s all about building positive expectations. She said: “Have positive conversations about their new teacher, about learning new things. It’s really important to get a child excited about the first day, and their first experience of what a formal learning environment will be like.”

Encouragement plays a significant role, too. Randall said that children should look forward to their first day at school and veer away from separation anxiety, from both child and parent’s perspectives. She said: “It is a giant leap in letting go for parents, and a huge step for children toward independence.”

She added: “A sense of independence is just as important as positive affirmations before the big day.” Randall suggested that teaching pre-Grade 1’s to dress themselves, tying their own shoelaces and doing up buttons and zipping up things could go a long way to creating the level of independent confidence that a child would need as they move into a new learning environment.

She said: “Also responsibilities like packing their own school bags, getting themselves ready before school and creating their own routine.” Randall said that these small influences are equally as relevant for children entering Grade Naught.

Homework will also be a new addition to a young learner’s life. Randall said that it does not have to be a burden, but rather an opportunity for parents to be engaged with their children. In fact, she said, it is very important. She said: “By making learning fun at school and at home, especially at such a young age, it engenders a love and thirst for education that will stand children in good stead later in life. Reading, spelling and numbers can be fun, and it’s such a beautiful part of a child’s journey.”

Every learning is a milestone, and every milestone should be celebrated, she said. Especially from Grade 1.

Winston Fani (35), an unemployed blind gentleman, lives in Mfuleni, Cape Town, with his wonderful wife, Busi (43), who is also considered legally blind, and their faithful guide dog, Gladys.

Winston was born with glaucoma, a progressive eye disease and from the age of 12, has lived life in total darkness.

Like so many South Africans, Winston, who worked as a call centre agent at a logistics company in Cape Town, was retrenched during the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic and has struggled to find a job for the last 3 years.

“Due to the scarcity of jobs for the visually impaired, and that Winston only has a matric certificate, he has been unable to secure a job despite his determination, and humble dream to support his family” – says Tania Robbertze (54), a friend of the couple who puppy-raised their guide dog. 

A vision for the future

For the longest time, Winston, who has a passion for history and education, and a love for people, has dreamed of furthering his education and becoming the first blind tour guide in South Africa.

“I want to be the first blind tour guide in South Africa. I want to make history. I want to show it’s not impossible to do what you want to do, despite the obstacles. I want to meet new people and learn from people from different countries who come to visit our country. I’m on the verge of learning new things.” – says Winston

To help Winston realise his dream and gain independence, Tania, who has built an everlasting friendship with Winston and his wife,  launched a crowdfunding campaign on BackaBuddy, appealing to the public to support Winston in receiving his tour guide certificate.

Thankfully, the appeal reached Enver Duminy, the CEO of Cape Town Tourism, who kindly agreed to cover Winston’s tuition fees for the tour guide course, which will allow Winston to expand his career options.

Still in need of funds to cover Winston’s first aid course, a laptop which will help him work through the course material, data and transport costs, Tania is keeping the fundraising campaign open, for anyone willing to help Winston get back on his feet. 

Since the launch of the campaign over R 5 800 has been raised towards Winston’s fundraising target of R20 000 with the support of 15 generous donors.

“Winston is a personable, chatty, gentleman, who connects very well with every person he meets. A job in the tourism industry will be a perfect fit for him. By supporting our BackaBuddy campaign, you will give a wonderful man a chance to reimagine his life and restore his sense of dignity by being able to work independently again.” – says Tania

Tania says there’s a lesson we can all learn from Winston.

Seeing the world from the perspective of a blind man changes how we appreciate and see the world around us. Winston can’t wait to break barriers around visual impairment, and share his unique perspective on the world” – says Tania

With the festive season officially upon us, many parents are starting to plan what to do with their annual bonuses. While paying-off debt should be a number one priority, investing in your child’s success should be a close second explains Mala Suriah, the CMO of Fundi. This is especially true if 2023 will be your child’s first year in tertiary education. By planning ahead now, you can potentially give them the head-start they deserve as they embark on this next chapter of their future journey.

While matrics celebrate the end of exams and their final chapter at high school, planning for the next practical stage of their career journey will start this month for most of their families. “How to get a head-start whilst waiting for results is a question many parents will undoubtedly be asking,” says Suriah. “It needs to be asked in the context of factors that have been proven to contribute to student success however, and what is possible for them now – especially if they have an annual bonus they can now tap into.”

Apart from addressing any outstanding debt issues for their children with schools or other learning institutions, she notes that tertiary registration fees are a first consideration that parents should try to plan towards: “Once-off registration fees often fall outside of bursaries or other funding that is available. This is the first contingency families should put in place wherever possible. The second then relates to other critical success factors: how they can help set-up the right ‘ecosystem’ for their child. This is particularly important if he or she will be studying away from home and be staying at or nearby the institution.”

Needless to say, the starting point for “success” often hinges around accommodation. “A student’s accommodation mustn’t just be a space where they feel safe and secure. It must also be a place that encourages their learning. There should be quiet spaces for example where they can study, as well as secure wifi readily available.” Suriah recommends that parents and their children do proper research in this regard. “Platforms such as ours make it possible to view vetted accommodation online and make a decision from there. This is very helpful if you’re not going to be able to visit the accommodation in-person before making a decision – which is often the case. Virtual tours of vetted properties mean that what you see is what you get!”

In a similar way, parents could also consider using some of their bonuses towards purchasing the equipment they need to study effectively, especially given blended learning requirements and preferences. “Having a dependable laptop or similar device is essential for your child’s studies. If they’re able to go into the start of the year with the device they need to do research, take notes and submit assignments, it can make all the difference to how they perform from the outset.”

Suriah notes that many parents will undoubtedly be hard-pressed to stretch their bonuses across competing family needs and priorities this Christmas, and will want to make every rand and cent count: “For those parents unable to make as much use of their bonus towards their children’s education as hoped, the good news is that by allocating a portion of this funding, they can perhaps secure a loan for the new year that can see their children through. There are many tried, tested and efficient solutions available and institutions like Fundi are here to help.”

Les-Leeco Koopman, an 18-year-old young man who lives on Delheim farm in the Cape Winelands, has attended the Pebbles Project After-School Club for 11 years. 

The Pebbles Project is a non-profit organisation that partners with local farms in the Western Cape to establish and manage Early Childhood Development Centres and After-School Clubs on farms to enable children from farming communities to access quality education programmes, health, nutrition, and social work services. 

Currently in matric, Les-Leeco has his heart set on furthering his studies and giving back to the organisation which has been instrumental in his growth, by becoming a social worker.

The goal is to have Les-Leeco work alongside the Social Work team at Pebbles Project as an Auxiliary Social Worker (Social Work Assistant) once he’s completed his 12-month course at Hugenote Kollege, a private Christian post-school training institution.

Crowdfunding on BackaBuddy

With his acceptance letter in hand to attend Hugenote Kollege in 2023, the only obstacle in the way of Les-Leeco’s dream of impacting the children on his farm, as well as children from neighbouring farming communities, is much-needed funding.

“I really want to become a Social Worker, because I see the children on my farm who are struggling to deal with their problems and they don’t have people to talk to. I want to help them to stay motivated. I love Pebbles, I’ve seen how they have helped people on my farm to follow their dreams.” - says Les-Leeco

With the goal of having Les-Leeco work along the Social Work team at Pebbles Project as an Auxiliary Social Worker (Social Work Assistant), the organisation has launched a crowdfunding campaign on BackaBuddy, hoping the public will support ‘hard working’ Les-Leeco.

As Hugenote Kollege is a private institution, which does not offer bursaries and isn’t eligible for NSFAS (Government) funding, Les-Leeco will need to raise a total of R65 000, to cover his deposit, tuition fees, accommodation, and spending money, to begin his schooling. 

Since the launch of the campaign, over R8000 has been raised towards Les-Leeco’s campaign with kind contributions from 11 donors.

Pebbles Project Social Worker, Mineke Toerien, speaks highly of Les-Leeco and is excited about the possibility of having him join the Social Work team. Mineke says: 

“Les-Leeco is a wonderful child. There is just something about him. I can say with certainty that he will make an exceptional Auxiliary Social Worker, he would be a great asset to the Social Work team. I know that he will have an immense impact on his community and on other farming communities. He will inspire so many. Please support this wonderful child’s dream so that he can help uplift communities and inspire other children on his farm to follow in his footsteps.” 

All donors who contribute towards Les-Leeco’s tuition fees are eligible to receive a Section 18A Tax Certificate, issued by the Pebbles Project.

“Les-Leeco has put in a lot of work to get good grades in order to get accepted at Hugenote Kollege. He’s really given his all to take the first step towards getting accepted to study. We kindly ask you to please help him take the next step in pursuing his dream.” - says Liesl Ahlers, Pebbles Project Ambassador Mentor.

Congratulations to Treverton College Grade 11 student Kai Broom, who has been chosen to go to Antarctica with Riaan Manser this December. Matrics in Antarctica went around SA to find five Matrics to join renowned explorer Rian Manser in the coldest, driest and harshest of continents, Antarctica. After receiving hundreds of applicants, a stringent process ended with five students being chosen for this life-changing adventure. Candidates were encouraged to display courage, perseverance, a champion attitude, and the ability to tackle obstacles with enthusiasm.  Out of the five candidates chosen, Kai is the only student from Kwa-Zulu Natal. Two candidates are from Gauteng and two are from the Western Cape.

“Treverton has exposed me to multiple disciplines, instilled a love of the environment and outdoor pursuits and has taught me how to persevere" says Kai. "Without this grounding, I would never have been able to take on this incredible adventure.”

Matrics in Antarctica website says "You may be asking why a trip to Antarctica? The simple answer is that this great frozen landmass is vital to the ecosystem. Not only does it deflect some of the sun's rays from Earth, but it is also home to a number of species of sea life. Antarctica is directly affected by global warming, and in turn, the melting of these sheets of ice is causing sea levels to rise. This is a problem that many adults today will not have to contend with – which is why it is so important to educate our young people about conservation and sustainable practices".

Born and raised in the platinum mining capital of the world, Rustenburg, seasoned Toyota Gazoo Racing South Africa motorsport driver Michael van Rooyen only took to the wheels after high school, entering the sport with no training. But, it could just be something in the Rustenburg waters, because Michael’s passion for motorsport has bagged him precious gold awards and more.

“My stepfather started karting when I finished matric, and a few years later he offered me a chance to get into the sport. I was 20 when I started my journey with a very limited budget, but I’m proud to say that none of that mattered, and I haven’t stopped since. I did not have any training and it was very tough in the beginning when I had to immediately compete with the likes of the Cronje’s, Poulter, Christiano Morgado, Briggs, Marc and Jennifer Murray, to name just a few. You can imagine the pressure I was under as they were extremely experienced having started their own careers at a very young age, and there I was trying to make my mark,” said Michael.

Now 42, with an award-winning career in the sport behind him, Michael is one of the most well-known faces on the track.
He is part of the Toyota Gazoo Racing SA team, and races in the Global Touring Cars (GTC) series at South Africa's premier motorsport event, the National Extreme Festival, where drivers race on Dunlop tyres. The Dunlop Racing Service team also keeps the wheels turning and all on track, operating from a fully equipped mobile workshop.

Motorsport highlights
Michael has won two national championships, came fifth at the World Karting Championships, and counts competing in the Nine Hours of Kyalami in February against some of the best saloon car drivers in the world, as part of his motorsport career highlights.
His favourite categories include karting 125GP, Rotax RM1, Polo cup, Production cars, and GTC.

He owes his credit to not just his stepdad for introducing the sport to him, but Calvyn Hamman.
“For some strange reason Calvyn Hamman, Vice President of Toyota at the time, thought I had potential and set me up with my current boss, Glenn Crompton, leader of the hugely successful Toyota Gazoo Racing South Africa team. Before that, for about 17 years I had dreamt of being a “factory” driver for an automotive brand, and the truth is, it’s been 10 times better than what I dreamt of,” he said.

As most drivers experience, along with key highlights, come challenging moments; and Michael said he faced his most recent ups and downs in his last Extreme Festival event of 2022.

“After a very disappointing season, my team had really pulled out all the stops to give me a great car, and I managed to get pole position and win the first race very comfortably. The second race however I had a bad start (from the back because of the reverse grid), there was an incident in turn 1 and I had to take some quick action and unfortunately, I lost ground to the cars in front of me. I managed to pass two cars a lap later but was run off the track by one of them in the very next lap, and I had to settle for seventh place. It was a disappointing end but some great positives to take from the weekend.”

And a win for him, is a win for the team. Michael said teamwork was what enabled him to do his best.

“Without our technicians and the team behind the scenes, I am absolutely nothing. We have so many role players. We have our team manager, Freddie Pretorius, who is ultimately responsible for everything besides driving. You’d often see the photos of the drivers with the weird hand signals and facial expressions, and this is the part where we try to explain what the car does on the track, and from that expressive but limited info, the team manager needs to decide what to do to improve it. Then we have a software technician, who checks and controls all the engine parameters, from boost, fuelling, throttle maps, etc. Each car also has their own mechanic, who does all the mechanical checks and changes. This is definitely a team sport where we are all family.”

But whether he’s had a great experience on the track or not, Michael said it’s his family that he looks for first.

“They are always waiting for me outside parc ferme [closed fence], and I love seeing their smiles when it goes well, and they know just what to say when it didn’t go well and cheer me up. My family is everything. And when it comes to my family’s safety, tyre safety is so important. I make sure I always look for safety features first when choosing a tyre,” he said.

Michael added that he was very proud to have been in motorsport for so long, but with the hard work the team puts in, the support of sponsors, the sacrifices he makes, the support of his family, and the “little fire inside” he owes it to everyone to do his best on the track.

RMI supports Second Chance Matric Programme

The Retail Motor Industry Organisation (RMI) supports The Department of Basic Education’s Second Chance Matric Programme which was announced this week.

Louis van Huyssteen, RMI National Training Director says this year 923 460 pupils are currently writing their National Senior Certificate exams. As is the case every year, pupils may be stressing that their marks will not be good enough to enrol at a university, private college or a technical and vocational education and training college.

The really positive news, is that many of these young people will be given a second chance to improve their marks through the Department’s innovative second chance programme which provides that second chance to meet the requirements of the NSC or SC and obtain a Grade 12 matric certificate.

“We encourage those who do take up the option and are successful to consider one of the many qualifications being offered at TVET colleges around the country. In the retail motor industry sector specifically, we are urgently looking for skills and young South Africans who embrace apprenticeships can enjoy earning whilst they learn,” he says.

Van Huyssteen says the opportunities to specialise are exciting allowing young people to explore sought after expert areas including colour mixer and matcher; application of waterborne and 2 and 3 stage pearlescent paint; passenger and commercial vehicle technicians; vehicle engine remanufacturing; diagnostic and fault-finding technicians; coded welding, and steering geometry and advanced driver-assistance systems. “University is definitely not for everyone and a TVET qualification offers an excellent alternative,” says Van Huyssteen.

Rasheed Adhikari, Facilitator at College of Cape Town for Centre of Specialisation Motor Mechanic Programme (3 years) agrees saying that a TVET qualification is the best qualification for any learner looking to do a trade qualification. The course is a three-year course where he/she will qualify as a qualified artisan who can then start earning a decent salary. If that artisan wants to further his studies, he can even study further while he earns and either get a Technical Diploma at one of the Universities of Technology or a degree at one of the universities.

Adhikari says university or a technical qualification is not for everyone. “Not every learner has the dexterity, technical or cognitive ability to do a modern motor mechanic apprenticeship, but for those that have the skill our artisan programmes are an excellent entry point into the workplace and the learner is virtually guaranteed employment when he/she qualifies. The reality is that qualified Tradesmen are well respected all over the world and in many European countries even earn more than doctors or lawyers.”
