 Projects/Highlights

·         Evaluation :Per-Ulf Nilsson was appointed by Olof Palme International Centre to undertake a study visit of the Twinning process. In an intense two day visit he interviewed persons involved in the following projects: TT, HIV and Aids, Media Centre and Building Project, GSJ, Child Welfare and Play Centre Projects and Global Profile.

In February 2011 we had another TT evaluator , Lars, commissioned by the Olof Palme Centre .

A third evaluation of the work done by the PSTA was done in July 2011.We were visited by Mikael, the new director of the Olof Palme Centre. He was accompanied by Thoko Mache. He was duly impressed by the volume of work covered by members of the PSTA.

January 2011 marked an important milestone in Twinning history. Tormod Nesset accompanied Swedish freelance journalist, Birgitta Silen, to Port Shepstone. She was contracted by the Olaf Palme International Centre and OSAK to document their history in the form of a book. Silen recorded interviews with 18 people involved with the PSTA. The book has been published and selected interviews have been documented. However, it is Swedish.

The past year was most unique in that the activity rate of Twinning, am told was one of the highest in the past 16 years. These are some of the highlights. A dtailed newsletter for 2010/ 2011 is being compiled for a detailed accounting for this period.

• Ayanda , a resident of Bhobhoyi and ex Pupil of Nobamba high school was selected to attend the Youth conference in oskarshamn,. When the South Coast Fever realised that there was an opportunity, requested our Asociation to send one of their journalist. Hence Yachika , was  accompanied by her husband. This being the first time that delegates paid their own way and it was comforting to our Association that Ayanda was not  alone on this long international journey. All three participated the Youth conference, visited projects, schools, given talks and also exposed to Global profile project and Time Travel. We appreciated the many articiles in our local papers, giving Twinning exposure.Grateful thanks  to Tormod, Bo, Ebbe for taking the best care of our delegates.

·         In May 2010 a delegation of three,Thulas Mkhize, Rosey Mudaly and Howard Msomi went on a two week TT training visit to Kalmar. Here again, empowerment of our delegates, in return empowerment of others has always been one of our key objectives.

·         Soderhamn : Thomas Norgren and Cecilia from the Centre of Flexible Learning visited from 31May to 4June to assess different initiatives and the way forward. A graduation ceremony for students of the Distance Education Builders Project was held at the Media Studies Centre at Esayidi FETC in Gamalakhe. Gary, Pauline and Gulshera attended this event.

·         Solidarity Award : In June a surprise birthday party was held for Tormod Nesset. He was presented with a Solidarity Award in recognition of outstanding Dedication and commitment to Human Rights, peace and international co-operation and development for a period in excess of 35 years.

·         Time Travel

Time travel was introduced to our Association in 2008 and amazingly it has grown and has been very successful. Over this period the following was achieved:

-          Numerous training events by Ebbe and his Team in Port Shepstone with various stakeholders .

-          Establishment of Gamalakhe Heritage Committee, a sub committee of or Association under the able leadership of Thulas Mkhize.

-           2 Lotto application to help fund TT’s.

-          Link with Provincial museum services and ministers adoption of the TT methodology.

-          Umzumbe -TT  training  culminating in the SECOND TT in KZN.

-          The third tt had taken place in Eshowe.

-          Presentation by Helen to  high school history curriculum advisors in KZN, arranged by Bhekani Zondi, attended by both Judy and Gulshera in Durban.

-          Acquisition of Props and costumes by PSTA which are stored at Gulshera’s House. When finances would allow us, this arrangement will then change.

-          Amazing documentation in the form of exhibition material of 10 Time Travels in South Africa.

·         Public Time Travel : The first public TT in South Africa  was held on 26 October 2010 to celebrate the arrival of the Indentured Indian Labourers 150 years ago.  time frame was Port Shepstone Harbour 1905. Approximately 165 persons participated .It was a grand mix of people–young and old, teachers and learners, businesswomen, Christians, Hindu’s, Muslim, people from all walks of life! The TT committee, Judy, Silvy,  Sipho , Penny and Gulshera together Ebbe , Helen and Meg has worked tirelessly to arrange this mammoth TT. Also appreciative to new persons that came on board, Sitha Sukai and many others that has assisted.

·         150 years celebration: Exhibition of photographs put together by  Gulshera  ( Ashwin Desai  commended it  to be one of the best of exhibitions celebrating the arrival of the indentured Indians)   

·         The first Bridging Ages SA (BASA) conference was hosted by our Association on 20/21 October 2010. We had been very bold to accept this challenge without secure funding.  BASA was established in 2009 and is linked to over 20 countries that are part of BA International. The PSTA is a member organization. There are two reps from KZN on the board of BASA,viz.Mark Sole of KZN Museum Services and  Gulshera Khan who is the national secretary.

It had taken 3 months of intense work to publicize, market, fundraise and organize the conference by volunteers without an office or full time manpower ,an achievement  beyond our expectations. The conference was opened by the HC Mayor,Nolwazi Shusha.The theme was “Social Cohesion through Time Travel”.The 145 delegates from SA,Sweden and Belgium participated in the first recorded TT in KZN.The period was 1905 and addressed the character of Colonialism,the resistance by the Zulus and the plight of the indentured Indian labourers.  

The conference showcased the history of Twinning and all recorded TT’s in SA.Professor Radikobo Ntsimane addressed how TT can be used as an effective tool in “healing the nation”.

The highly successful conference dinner was attended by approximately 500 people. The highlight of the evening, according to Prof.Gail Weldon (Curriculum Planner Western Cape), was the report by learners from the pilot schools who spoke about the impact of TT on learning and education.

Minister of Arts and Culture, Weziwe Thusi’s address on day two of the conference endorsed the importance of TT as a means of transforming her department. She made her presence on the second day and this was much appreciated.

The support of our entire community played a pivotal role in the success of this venture, sound leadership of Gulshera and assisted by Rueben, supported by the entire Association and broader membership.

·         Preschool Project

A delegation comprising of 3 educators and 2 learners visited in February 2011 from Oskargymnasium in Oskarshamn. The programme included visits to rural and urban pre-schools. The focus of the visit was skills taught at pre-school level and vocational training. Co-ordinated by Rueben and assisted by Gulshera.

·         Soderhamn / Ugu Partnership: Educators Famida and Beauty together with 10 students departed on 20 Feb 2011 to Soderhamn - an Athena project. Here again, Gulshera had assisted with the visa application, orientation of the delegates were undertaken by Pauline, Gulshera and Tormod Nesset.

There  has also been a municipal delegation from Soderhamn and Pauline is thanked for her role in this link. Our Association hosed them for dinner and continues to be the pivotal link.

·         Hibiscus Coast Municipality and Oskarshamn municipality: There have been several delegations from Oskarshamn with Stefan Windh from Oskarshamn piloting the Wiki Project in Nyandezulu. The success of this project will result in a similar project in Sweden or more specifically Oskarshamn,. As a direct result of this project, Ebbe from Kalmar Lans Museum and Stefan Windh formed a partnership and hence in collaboration with all partners, the Nyadezulu Heritage Committee was established. Time Travel was introduced to this committee by Ebbe and supported by our Association. The  role of Gulshera as the Ambassador of Oskarshamn municipality  continues to be central in this relationship . Both Rueben and Gulshera had attended dinner arranged by HCM on Stefan Windhs last trip on the Wi Fi Project. ( a last minute invitation)

·         Very successful Global Profile, Global School Journey and Time Travel Projects were covered in October 2011.The details about these projects will be covered in the next report. Details of the highly acclaimed “Gamalakhe Tin Town “ Time Travel was a resounding success and will again also be covered in the next report. In addition the  BAKZN committee was launched with Thulas, as chairperson, including members from local and provincial museum.  Delegation to Sweden: Ommesh, Bhekani and Gulshera. Our association was again represented and was chosen as key note speaker at BA International in Estonia, including a delegation to BA SA and again given the privileged as keynote speaker. Special mention to the many twinning members that “ do not ask questions and just things moving” which differ from any other organization in getting these projects to be a huge success. All based on total trust and hence, we are very effective and efficient.

·         Katharina, Ulrika and Lovisa - the young volunteers : The young volunteers from Sweden that had volunteered during the years 2008 and 2009 at Emseni Children's Home is back in Port Shepstone to volunteer again during December 2010. Twinning support to our member organisations.

·         Donations: The final donation of jungle gyms was completed this  period for both Nyandezulu and Magog primary Schools. In total,with the R70 000 rand donation received from Tove Nielsson , a past Global School journey delegate, completed 4 jungle gyms at 4 primary school, educational toys for 35 ECDs in Izingolweni, shelving for library at Ekubusisweni, contributed towards part payment for first office for Child Welfare SA, Umzumbe.

·          Acknowledgement  and Thanks :

Conclusions:

• ·         Positive and warm atmosphere as usual in Port Shepstone.

• ·      An advantage to have a workshop combining IT, folkbildning and Time Travels as in Nyandezulu. The Thusong Multipurpose Center will be used as a gathering and Internet research centre for the Nyandezulu community.

• ·         Nyandezulu Time Travel Committee was formed, chairpersons Mzi and Caphela. They decided to have regular meetings (study circle) starting the week after the workshop. Follow the seven steps starting to identify sites and stories

•     The Gamalakhe Time Travel Committee, chairperson Thulas, is making progress and meet regularly (study circle). They have made 5-6 interviews focusing on the forced removal to Gamalakhe in the end of the 1960s. 4-5 alternative stories/scenarios for a Time Travel was discussed and also schools to be involved.

• ·         Positive meeting about forming a Bridging Ages KZN. A committee was elected to prepare for the organisation – stakeholders, board, constitution, funding etc

• ·       Discussions about having the Bridging Ages South Africa annual conference as part of the launch of Bridging Ages KZN, but only if Mpumalanga can’t make it.

• ·        The Time Travel to the middle of the Bambatha rebellion in March 1906 at the Sama KZN conference was very interesting. The Zulu perspective that was chosen was a new and different way of telling the story of Fort Nongqayi. It was a very big engagement from most of the participants by protesting, shouting and singing. Most participants made their character into a person who wanted an uprising and Fort Nongqayi was seen as a sign of oppression. The learners were very active in the Time Travel. A few of the museum staff were not really comfortable with the situation and the perspectives of the history.

• Fantastic words by the learners in the evaluation, talked about understand a little bit of the history of the fort and several also mentioned pride of their heritage. In the evaluation from the adults you could realize a difference between those how were not quite comfortable and those who loved the Time Travel. Zameka and staff of Zululand Historical Museum were very satisfied and want to continue

•  Possible cooperation with Natal museum as a result of the meeting at the museum and discussing with Sendile, the Deputy Director.

• ·         Positive discussions at Voortrekker/Msunduzi museum.

• ·         Good meeting at Shakaland with staff of Amafa. Barry Marshall and the staff showed an interest, open discussions.

• ·         Also positive meeting with the History Curriculum Advisors.

Way forwards:

• An interim committe is working on the organisation Bridging Ages KZN: stakeholders, constitution, interim board, funding etc. Plan for a launch in October

• ·         Gamalakhe Time Travel Committee continue to study, research and have regular meetings. Plan for 2-3 Time Travels  in Tin Town with two schools (Gamalakhe LP school, Buhlebeswe Primary school?) in October. An idea of the scenario needs to be proposed in June, July or no later than beginning of August. (Alternative scenarios mentioned at the meeting was A/ a new family moving in, even two families in one tin; B/1976 and discussion what to do in Gamalakhe; C/ Use the first church grounds but then a structure needs be put up). Prepare for a bigger Time Travel of maybe 100 persons at the launch of Bridging Ages KZN.

• ·     Radikobo will be asked by the PS Twinning to have a two day (Friday/Saturday?) training session about methods and techniques when interviewing people, for the Time Travel committees in Gamalakhe, Nyandezulu, Port Shepstone and Umzumbe, maxiumum 25 persons.

• ·         Nyandezulu Time Travel Committee will study, research and have regular meetings, to find heritage sites and stories. Plan for a one-day workshop in October visiting the sites, discussing stories and possible scenarios.

• ·        b More presentations for History Curriculum Advisors in May.

• Training sessions for Time Travel Committees connected to interested museums/ sites/Amafa in KZN and curriculum advisors/educators. Possible places/museums: Zululand Historical Museum, Ncome museum, Voortrekker/Msunduzi museum, Ondini/Mgungundlovu, Shakaland... The history curriculum advisor of each of the districts together with an intersted school need to be part of the work in the Time Travel committee/museum.

• Added people might be an engaged history curriculum advisor in one district that form a Time Travel Committee around a heritage site.
• Organisers of the training, probably KZN Museum Service, BA KZN interim committee and Kalmar läns museum.
• Sites/museums need to be confirmed in May/June/July. One idea is to have a first training session the first week in October (last week of the holidays) and a second in February 2012. In between the museums and Time Travel Committees will work on their stories and scenarios. After the second session the Time Travels will be arranged.
• ·         More detailed guidelines how to use the Time Travel method in the FET and GET curriculum needs to be written. Beghani, Gail and teachers (Silvy, Judy, Thulas). The plan is to use the guidelines in the training in early October presented by the authors.

• ·         Stefan Windh check the funding for translation of This place... into Zulu.

• Interest from Primary Schools and from the Time Travel Committe/Twinning to make a pilot project on local San sites. The PS Twinning will send a proposal to Amafa to getaccess to the records/knowledge of the precolonial/archaeological sites on the South Coast. Hopefully Natal museum will support in the interpretation of these sites. A plan is to have a workshop in Port Shepstone in October and that one of the sites is possible to use for Time Travels (shell midden at Oslo beach?).

• ·         Continued contacts with the Natal museum, maybe especially about precolonial history and archaeological sites.

• ·        b The Voortrekker/Msunduzi museum will discuss how Time Travels can be involved in the centennary of the museum 2012, maybe take a known history from another perspective. The church of the vow and making it into a museum in 1912 and see it from the Zulu/African perspective might be one option. There is a courtyarde suitable for Time Travels. A workshop on different aspects of the museum and church of the vow, as a start?

• ·         Three persons from HCM will, as a part of the project, go to Sweden for training and the Bridging Ages conference in Tallinn. Others could also be invited, i.e. Dolly Khumalo, Amafa.

• ·         Training in Sweden, 23/25 May-1 June, conference in Tallinn 3-6 June.

·         Next visit from the Swedish partners will be in October.

Oskarsgynasiet Project ( Preschool Study) 20 - 27 Feb 2011

The programme for the week was focused, intense and wide, giving the delegation an opportunity to be exposed to ECD ( early Childhood Education) and overview of ECD in our region.

Since the days of apartheid, ECD has not been structured and /or "controlled" by local or any specific institution in SA. It is part Welfare and part Education. As a result of need  " hundred" of community initiatives were embarked upon by the community-- NGO established. TREE is one of those NGO's that focuses in training "carers" or those involved in ECD- providing training.

NGO, Like Child Welfare ( Child Protection organisation) and other umbrella NGO's  provide support and development to ECD within their operational areas.

 Grade R has been recently ( past few years) introduced to govt. schools and we have discovered that  this is " work in progress" with restructuring  within the Department of Education etc. 

New legislation have been in place since  April 2010 ( Children's Act 2005)  that talks to Partial Care facility giving recognition to ECDs  based in  huts, community informal structures etc. while in urban areas, ECD is more structured and owned "privately", a rather complicated if one is not in this sector- even for a South African.

This is an excellent project for Twinning- bringing our community together and focusing on critical areas for development.

With Ake, Mats,Aka and Marlin, we also touched base with ECD and  understood this area even further.

Like all Twinning initiative and projects with Sweden, we get to know our community a little more, bringing focus to much needed services. A highlight is bridging the gap between urban and rural, developing relationships for effective future co-operation , networking and collaboration.

eSayidi Delegation to Soderhamn 20 - 1 March 2011

Time Travel Project - evaluation by Lars Oscar ( 13 - 15 Feb 2011)

Gamalakhe Tin Town: resident relating her " story" of force removal from Albersville to Tin Town during apartheid. It is very important that this history and OUR history is recorded from all perspectives, in every community, both local and national  and taught in schools.

Thulas, who has been trained in Sweden, is our key link to this community. The committee meets on Friday evening-- the only agreed time.

Very important that the next Time Travel takes place in this community.
