National Epilepsy Week aims to educateyou about the rights of epilepsy­sufferersEvery year National Epilepsy Week is cele-brated to raise awareness about epilepsy, aneurological condition characterised by un-usual electrical activity in the brain.Even though it is themost commonneuro-

logical condition in the world, it is still verymuch misunderstood.This year, National EpilepsyWeekwill be

celebrated from 16 to 22 June.Although South Africa has ratified inter-

national treaties, established various poli-cies and guidelines and recognised the righttonon-discriminationon thebasisofdisabil-ity in the Constitution, the rights of peoplewith epilepsy and other disabilities are fre-quently violated in domestic, communityand employment contexts.The saddening fact is that people with epi-

lepsymostly experience the effects of stigmaand discrimination from people who knowabout their epilepsy and seizures – i.e. thoseclosest to them. If you didn’t know about aperson’s epilepsyyouwould treat himorherexactly the same as everybody else? Thisraises the question: Who has epilepsy? Doyou really know?The main aim of National Epilepsy Week

is to dispel themyths, social stigmas anddis-

crimination attached to the condition.People are considered to have less value

to their community and are seen as only de-pendent on welfare. Together with a senseof vulnerability when it comes to seizures,this view places persons with epilepsy at se-vere risk.Marina Clarke, national director of Epi-

lepsy SouthAfrica, says: “National EpilepsyWeek focuses on educating the public aboutthe rights of people with epilepsy. We decid-edon this theme toencouragepeople toques-

tion their ownattitudes towardspeopleliving with epilepsy.”There are a variety of human rights

policies available for persons with epi-lepsy and other disabilities, most nota-bly in SA the South African Constitu-tion and other relevant legislation, andthe United Nations Convention on theRights of Persons with Disabilities(UNCRPD), ratified by South Africa.It is important for all people to know

about and understand these rights tobetter protect themselves and theirloved ones from discrimination, abuseand unfair practice.

These policies and principles are there toprotect therightsofpeople, includingallpeo-ple with epilepsy.They are the structure to what society

needs to adhere to and there are very realimplications for breaching them.Youneed to know that your rights are pro-

tected and that people who infringe on yourrightsare liable to face thepenaltyof the law.For more information about Epilepsy

had, maar ek het nog steeds beter ashulle gevaar. Ek dink dit is te dankeaan Maties (Gemeenskapsdiens) enhoe hulle ’n wêreld van moontlikhe-de vir my oopgemaak het.As ek nie by Maties was nie, sou

ek nie die wiskunde wat in die toetswas, kon voltooi nie, want dit was

nogal moeilik.”Sy gaan in Augustus inskryf vir

In a bid to help the school becomefinancially sustainable, staff at theschool has embarked on a fund rais-ing campaign to raise R75 000 by theend of 2014.

The school was established by agroup of Dominican nuns, and at theend of completion in 1941, 143 learn-ers from across Stellenbosch were al-ready enrolled there as early as 20February 1939.

St. Idas’ first principal was SisterBaptiste and one of its first teachers,Sister Henry.

The R75 000 raised will be used toprovide education resources – be itbooks or teaching staff – and facili-ties – from upgrading classrooms tobuilding a reading room – for learn-ers, many from underprivileged are-as in Idas Valley, Jonkershoek, Wel-gevallen Experimental Farm, Kaya-mandi and Cloetesville.

The school recently celebrated itsmilestone with teachers, learnersand community members and cake- a lot of cake!

Year 16 • Dinsdag 22 April 2014 | Tel. 021 887 2840

Pniel Villagers het op Saterdag 12 April teen die gedugte span van Sir Lowrians met 32-28 verloor. Uit die staanspoor was dit duidelik dat die manne van Pniel geensins sou terug staan vir die ligagunstelingenie. Die Sir Lowrians-span, wat dikwels verteenwoordig word deur spelers wat óf provinsiale óf nasionale ondervinding het, is vinnig onder druk geplaas deur die veel jonger span van Pniel. Die twee drieëin ’n bestek van slegs 20 minute het Sir Lowrians gou onder druk geplaas. Flink spel deur Stephanus Sedras sowel as die jong Kyle Marthinussen, het tot twee prag-drieë deur Affie Fisher gelei. DicksonMentoor het weer gewys dat hy sy plek verdien, terwyl Edwin Meyer se ervaring telkens die Sir Lowrians laat les opsê het. Byron Schoeman en Granville Petersen het goed gekombineer en het telkemaledie opponente laat bontstaan. Die Pniel Villagers-span kan met volgehoue harde werk, toegewydheid en samewerking vir seker ’n krag in die Super Liga B-kompetisie wees. Die derde span het met 5-5gelykop gespeel, terwyl die tweede span ongelukkig was om sy wedstryd te verloor. Hier is Byron Schoeman en Melrick Thomas wat albei goed in die losskrums vertoon het.
