Sybil Otterstrom
Editor and CEO

This month we look at the BIG thing:
What-next after high-school.
In many ways high-school is preparing
for life, but after high-school it is LIFE.
Making the ‘right’ career choice first
time is difficult (and it does not mean
that it is not possible to change tack
later); hence we provide the lists of
where to go.
We have industry-views from TVETs
and it is always good to lisen to the experts.
But let us also face it: Without support
it might all just be a dream.
... and that is why we also look at NS-
FAS and other ways of funding an education.
Good read!

What-next
It is time – again – to look at the big thing:
what-next after high-school. It is not getting
any easier as we see so many more ‘new’ things
emerging in the educational and work-related
space.
Take heart: we are catching up with the outside
world and now we should start to make more
varied choices. It is not university or nothing
anymore.
The government goal is to have some 2,5 million
students in the TVETs. It is a tall order as we
only have 780,000 students in college today.
What is needed is probably a more refined
‘guess’ at what South Africa will/should look
like some years from now and then support this
vision with a focus on creating the skills base.
That is easy said and hard to do.
However, the TVETs offer practical education
to achieve goals in life. And let us face it: Highschool
will prepare for life, but after high-school
it is life!
In essence: figure out what you can and pursue
that dream with appropriate education and
preparation.

The big WHAT NEXT .. after high School
This is the big What Next list. It is as comprehensive as we
can make it.
The university list is OK. all the websites are there, and it is
all working.
The TVET’s are there, but not all websites are working.
Please check it yourself without blaming me.
The telephone numbers are listed as per government
websites, but alas, not all working.
All info is coming from government websites and from our
own ‘tests’.
A word of advise: This is all the government listed entities.
BUT there are a lot of private schools as well, too numerous
to list.
These are the likes of Damelin, Boston, etc etc. Just make
sure that the one you are interested in is çertified’. In essence:
if in doubt, phone Department of Higher Education.
Not difficult really.
GOOD LUCK!

Transport month
Transporting agri-products
Transporting agricultural products involve many
more steps than transporting industrial products
due to the nature of the products.
According to the Food and Agricultural organisation
(FAO), transport in agriculture is required
from the harvest fields, to the threshing or drying
site; from there to the farmer’s storehouses or to
collection-centre warehouses; from there to the
processing industries or to bigger central storage
buildings (often much farther from where the
commodity is grown) and from these industries
or storage buildings to wholesalers or retailers for
final marketing.
It is not si

But air freight is m
countries growing
year-round (grap
However, the cost associated with transporting
certain agricultural products differs. For instance,
according to an article published in Farmers
Weekly, one of the largest agribusinesses in
South Africa, ZZ2, reports that its transport costs
as a percentage of total costs have increased by
6,3% since 2004, and now make up 8,3% of total
costs in 2015.

The article further states that this is mirrored by
data from the Citrus Growers’ Association, which
shows that total operating cost for trucks carrying
citrus increased from R10,62/km in 2010 to 15,32/
km in 2015. Over this period, fuel costs rose from
about R4,50/ km to roughly R7,50/km.
Perishable food, including fruits, vegetables, dairy
products, meats, and fish products, needs to be
kept in a chilled or frozen state along the entire
supply chain. Failing to keep perishable food in the
desired temperature range, because of insufficient
refrigeration, can stimulate the growth of pathogens
and spoilage microorganisms and render the
product inedible.

es, mango, avo etc)
Thus, the objective of refrigerating food products is
to maintain quality and prolong shelf life by keeping
the product temperature at the point where
metabolic and microbial deterioration are minimized.
Maintaining the desired or ideal holding
temperature is a major factor in protecting perishable
foods against quality loss during storage and
distribution.
Therefore, cold storage warehouses and distribution
centres are suddenly in high demand due
to new food delivery services such as Peapod by
Giant, Amazon Fresh and Blue Apron. This demand
can grow to more than 13% over the next 5 years
because of the penetration of the internet.
Therefore, when you have fruits and vegetables
that need to be flash frozen and then transported
across the country remember this is a major effort
from all involved.

Bursaries, scholarships
… and loans
It is time again (as always) to look at how to fund the
dream education. There are many different ways of
ensuring that financial hardship is not stopping prospective
students in achieving an education.
The newest is that NSFAS now also funds TVETs.
NSFAS is probably the first major funder which will
cross anyone’s mind. Surely NSFAS is the biggest but
there are also strings attached. NSFAS is supposed to
be paid back (though not for loans after 2018) and
that might pose problems for students.
Bursaries and scholarships will typically not have any
pay-back clause, except….if they are there.
Loans are very straightforward. Apply, get accepted,
study and pay it back (with lower interests).
It is all good and dandy if there are no deviations in
the mainstream study. However, changing tack in the
middle of things might pose a problem. Try to go

from studying law to astronomy and see what will
happen.
There may be academic expectations attached.
Courses must be passed, failures may have sanctions.
Some bursaries may also have a clause where it is
expected of a student to work in the company providing
the funding for a shorter time.
All in all. It is not so easy to figure out. But remember:
the funders interest is to assist students. Their
job is to disperse money. They want to help you!
On the (very) bright side should be mentioned that
a bursary should enable a student to focus on the
education and not having to also work (many) hours
to keep body and soul together.
The added pressure of work during studies can get
many students to give up. Many good reasons, but
the lure of ready-money is a factor.
It is possible to quote many deficiencies in any funding
model and it is hard to find the optimal one.
The good advise is therefore to investigate funding
structures and to ensure that any application is
backed by a desire to get on with it.
It is late to start in grade 12 with this. Start looking
from grade 10/11 and also to go to open-day’s at
institutions.
The axiom of ‘a plan is better than no plan’ probably
holds true.
Get on with it!

NSFAS: the majo
The major funding organisation in South Africa
is without doubt NSFAS. Let us look at what it is
doing (from their website http://www.nsfas.org.za/
content/:)
The NSFAS mission: Our mission is to transform
NSFAS into an efficient and effective provider of
financial aid to students from poor and working
class families in a sustainable manner that promotes
access to, and success in, higher and further
education and training, in pursuit of South Africa’s
national and human resource development goals.
How do they do it?
• NSFAS exists to provide financial aid to eligible
students at TVET colleges and public universities;
• NSFAS identifies eligible students, provides
bursaries and collects past student loan repayments
to replenish the funds available for future
generations of students; and,
• NSFAS supports access to, and success in,
higher education and training for students from
poor and working class families who would otherwise
not be able to afford to study.
A lot of things are happening with NSFAS. The major
thing is that NSFAS used to be 100% loan. NS-

FAS money had to be paid back. Everyone
who started in a job, earning more than a
certain amount was supposed to pay back.
2018 was the major shift from loans to
grants. All support from 2018 is now not
supposed to be paid back. But support
before 2018 is.
The sentiment is of course to avoid the
situation where ‘newly-minted’ educated
youth is sitting with a mountain of debt
and maybe even struggling finding a job in
the chosen field or having a lover-paid job
(lover than the expectation based on the
education).
The latest is the NSFAS Wallet. Your grant is
deposited into your NSFAS account and it
is comparable to a normal bank account.
You can draw cash and purchase books,
food and more at select stores.
NSFAS is indeed getting more user-friendly
and we predict that a lot more will happen.
Investing in education is never a bad idea.

Namibia is our close neighbour and we will now also try to carry news
and important messages pertaining to Namibia.
As a service to our South African readers, we will quickly introduce Namibia
… and then getting on with the ever-important ‘What next..’
Quick facts:
Namibia is a BIG country. It is approximately 70% of the entire South Africa,
but only home to some 2,5 million people.
GDP per capita is some USD 11,515 vs. SA’s USD 13,865.
Main economic sectors are Mining, agriculture and tourism. Tourism
accounts for some 20% of all jobs and 14,5% of the GDP.
Namibia has two public tertiary institutions of general education, the Namibia
University of Science and Technology (NUST) and the University of
Namibia (UNAM) and one private University, the International University
of Management (IUM).

There are a number of specialised tertiary educational
institutions such as the College of the
Arts (Cota), The University Centre for Studies in
Namibia, Oshakati, Rundu, and Rehoboth, the
Namibian Maritime and Fisheries Institute , and
the Namibian Institute of Mining and Technology.
The Namibian Training Authority controls seven
vocational centers and supports a number of
other institutions.
They offer a range of courses for school leavers,
including; Plumbing, Welding, Electrical general,
Automotive electrical, Bricklaying, Cabinet
making, Technical drawing, Dressmaking, Hospitality,
Office management and Automotive
mechanics.
(this is all from Wiki)
Let it also be said: Namibia is much more than
the sand dunes. Namibia is an industrial country
with a vast infra-structure.
Key industries are diamon processing, fisheries
and agricultural processing.
Namibia is also getting to act as a transport
corridor between Africa in general and South
Africa.
With the growing world-wide focus on tourism,
we could imagine that this single sector can be
the absolute dominant foreign-currency earner
in Namibia.

Bursaries, etc
We have found a few websites which may be of interest.
We do not guarantee any success or validity of the websites.
Nafacts.com
This website seems to be the better option. It has got the university
lists, the vocational institutions list and the bursary list.
However, we cannot vouch for the inclusivity. Maybe it is not all
of it.
The main funding organisation is NSFAF.
Here is from their website:
Mandate: To provide financial assistance to eligible students at
approved tertiary educational institutions.
Vision: To be a sustainable institution, equitably providing financial
assistance to contribute to the development of Namibia’s
human capital.
Mission: To provide financial assistance to eligible Namibians to
access Vocational as well as Higher Education and Training.
Good Luck, Namibia!

The status is … fluid. The facts are there, but what it
means is a good guess right now.
Boris the PM has announced that UK will leave EU by 31
October, with or without a deal. He has committed to
strive for a deal, but the signs are that the no-deal scenario
is the most likely. The deal that Ms. May had negotiated
(got voted down three times in parliament) is the
best EU can offer – according to EU.
What EU is saying is that if Boris the PM wants to change
something, he should write it down and tell them. According
to EU that has never happened and it is difficult
to negotiate via twitter.
A government report has emerged stipulating what the
consequences of a no-deal are: borders, border checks,
long queues, medicine shortages, no easy travel (and
having jobs) abroad and a lot more. That got a lot of
people to consider it – again.
Parliament came up with an idea: a new law stipulating
that Boris must provide a deal (which they can vote on)
by latest 19 October or ask for an extension until 31
January.
Boris the PM does not like this idea and has clamoured
for a fresh election. Smart move as it is what the opposi-

tion (labour party) has asked for. HOWEVER: if there
should be elections, Boris can set the date in say
November … and then UK is out and a new parliament
can do nothing about it.
So, parliament agreed that, sure, let us have elections
but after this new law is in effect. Check!
But Boris is smart after all. He sent parliament on
leave until 14 October (prorogation). That is challenged
in court. One court said it is not for the court
to decide on politics and threw it out. Another court
said that it is a constitutional issue and the reason
for prorogation is to deny parliament the right to
discuss these things; hence it is un-constitutional.
That now goes to the supreme court.
The pressure in the UK is of course building to have
another referendum.
In the meantime, EU chair for this half-year (president
of Finland) has said that unless EU is getting
some suggestions on what UK wants by next week,
EU is not interested in extending any more deadlines
– meaning UK is out by 31 October – with a
no-deal that nobody wanted and nobody voted for
back then!
JUST IN! - Breaking News
Supreme Court declares prorogation
‘null and void’ - this was a decision supported
by all the judges.
Parliament is NOT on leave and is meeting
as we write. Boris the PM is asked to
resign by opposition parties.

Movies in October 2019
There are plenty of movies – and all of this is as usual from
https://www.vibescout.com/za/movies-upcoming
I found one film that might be a good giggle. Note really sure,
but.
The main event is the Jozi Film Festival. If anyone is into movies,
get on to it. There are plenty of films to watch.
Delicatessen
This bizarre surrealistic black
comedy takes place in a small
fictitious post-apocalyptic
town where food is scarce and
butcher Clapet has the macabre
business of using human flesh
to feed his customers.
Yet when his daughter falls in
love with his next slaughter victim
things turn into chaos.

Jozi film festival
TheJozi Film Festival is an annual event that
showcases the latest films made by South
African and international filmmakers in one
of Africa’s most vibrant cities – Johannesburg.
The Jozi Film Festival 2019 will highlight the
very best in filmmaking, presenting a multigenre
slate of films from emerging and established
filmmakers, exploring a broad range
of topics that affect our communities and stir
our hearts and minds. The Jozi Film Festival
was initially created to provide a platform
for local filmmakers in Johannesburg, and to
develop an audience for South African films.
While still prioritizing local film, JFF now accept
films from around the world – features,
short films, documentaries and student films.
We are the longest running multi-genre festival
in the City of Gold and our motto remains
the same from Day One: We Love Jozi. We
Love Film.
Timing: from 3 October – 6 October 2019
Here is the intro: https://youtu.be/WmHi-

that might not be English.
We try to be more than just
English.
Passionate about your topic of
choice - no dull articles here.
Do you get anything out of it?

Is it important?
YES it is.
Look what Rofhiwa said:
My name is Rofhiwa and I love
to write. I have used my skills to
express my thoughts on international
dealings of the world which
have been published in Hola Ma-
High-School.
What to do?
It has paid off, not only is my
work printed for young people
in the country to read, but it also
contributed to me gettng a bursary
from CNBC-Africa to do my
post-graduate studies.

Would be a lot harder to get by if
I didn’t have a platform like Hola
MaHigh-School.

Next Issue
October. Warm and spring and sun and nearly holidays.
But exam is also lurking somewhere.
We imagined we should talk a lot about exam tips. I
changed
my mind!
Every year
everybody
bombards
the poor students
with
good advise.
So, you
probably
know it all.
Also from
last year.
That is
thought we
about GAP
where we
could talk
YEAR.
Reality is that gap year can be good but may also
‘break’ the rythm in learning. Judge yourself!
But there are many things to do and it can indeed prepare
for life in other ways.
Of course we have the conspiracies and movies and fun
and tech and all things I can figure out.
GOOD READ!
