A CRY FOR HELP OR ATTENTION?

I am Dimpho and I am doing Gr 10 for the second time. I feel so down, my

parents do not live with me because they are working overseas, and they have
left me with my grandmother from my father’s side. I feel rejected and not
understood as my friends feel I am spoilt, I guess they base their perception of
me on the expensive clothes I wear and the pocket money I carry as my
parents send me more money than I need. I do not want the material things to
define who I am,

I am not aware still, of my abilities, as I have no interest in my studies, I am

constantly making bad decisions, when my grandmother intervenes, I feel
more rejected and down.

South African albino model shatters stereotypes

South Africa's Thando Hopa is a model, lawyer, aspiring poet - and she has albinism.
"I have been dubbed a cover girl for people with albinism, but I never saw myself as
that," says the 26-year-old, who refuses to be seen only in terms of her lack of
pigmentation.

Her modelling career began when she was approached by a prominent designer, Gert-
Johan Coetzee, and her sister convinced her that modelling would allow her to combat
negative stereotypes about albinism.

Those include the false beliefs that people with albinism have been cursed by their
ancestors, that they are sterile or unintelligent. The condition that is usually caused by
recessive genes often leads to discrimination, and Hopa recalls being called names
such as "white monkey" when she was growing up in Johannesburg. But her filmmaker
mother and engineer father lent her strong support, and when she went on to study
law, she also received help. "The university understood my challenges and assisted
me with my eyesight problems by supplying me with larger papers with bigger letters,"
she says. Models with albinism are forming part of a general trend of fashion models
having more diverse looks and redefining beauty, Hopa believes.

QUESTION 4

the questions that follow:

On 22 March 2018, an NGO Kheth’Impilo conducted HIV tests on learners who

were under the age of 12 without their parent’s consent. Parents were alerted
that Grade 5-7 learners were being tested for HIV at the school’s gate- one
parent rushed to the school and found that her son was pricked and already
been told that he was HIV positive in front of other learners and staff. When
the Department of Education was asked about this; the spokesperson said that
they used the services of the NGO to promote good health among learners
with the aim of reducing teenage pregnancy and school dropouts. One learner
called her mother to inform that they were being forced to take HIV tests, when
she talked to the Kheth’Impilo employee to ask about what was happening,
she got a rude response from her.

the questions that follow:

Violence Against Women – A Problem In South Africa

Violence against women has become a serious problem in South Africa and the
world. Information from different countries indicates that 35% of all women have
been physically or sexually abused by an intimate or non-intimate partner.

While women across the globe fall victim to physical or sexual violence every day.
African women are particularly vulnerable in this regard. It has been concluded that
African countries have some of the highest levels of physical and sexual violence
against women in the world. However, the statistics are sometimes considered
unreliable due to poor reporting - probably as a result of fear. The South African
report partly links the low report and conviction rate of violence perpetrators to the
post-apartheid public perception of the police force.
