The AfriOceans Warriors Awareness Hike
On Wednesday, 2 December 2009, 430 learners from 14 high schools and junior schools from the South Peninsula, including 30 learners from COSAT in Khayelitsha, walked 8km in howling South Easter winds along a stretch of the coast from Muizenberg to Glencairn, Cape Town, South Africa to give a Voice to the Oceans.
This exciting AfriOceans Conservation Alliance (AOCA) initiative, an organization committed to aligning with others who share its vision, brought together the support of a number of governmental and non governmental organizations including SOS Shark Centre, SANCCOB, Dolphin Action Protection Group, Centre for Conservation Education, Kelp Environmental Learning Project, Seal Alert SA, Table Mountain National Park, City of Cape Town (YES programme), Jungle Theatre, Baboon Matters, Metrorail, NSRI, Western Cape Education Department, Science Education Resources Initiative, SA Navy, KEAG, Whale of a Heritage Route, REEF, Bright Weights, Pisces Divers, and Shark Lady Adventures.
The AfriOceans Warriors Campaign empowers the youth to become a member warrior of a unique African tribe who take action for our oceans. These young AfriOceans Warriors take ownership of their natural heritage and become leaders of awareness campaigns for Africas Oceans. The campaign encourages a reflection of African tribal roots and culture where profound values and empathy for the natural environment and animals is reflected. Armed with the correct knowledge and tools these young AfriOceans Warriors will take positive action in order to raise awareness and help save our oceans. They are set to become the Voice of Africas Oceans!
From the bottom of my heart I wish to thank all the dignitaries, partners, NPOs, sponsors, participating schools, their learners and teachers, volunteers, the helicopter owner and pilot, the aerial photographers, my supporting team, Charmaine Rochat, Terry Corr, Glenn Sieller, Adam & Michael Carenegie, Horst Kleinschmidt, and in particular a special mention to the initiator of the hike, Leonie Jacobson, Deputy Principal of Muizenberg High, supported by Principal of Muizenberg Junior, Dee Cawcutt, assisted by Lalette Mcgillewie, and Alan Linder of the Whale of a Heritage Route. It is amazing what we can acheive in so few days (we only had 8 working days to pull this off!) when we stand united! My dream of creating an army of ocean warriors is being realised, thank you!

The Polyphonic Singing of the Aka Pygmies of Central Africa
UNESCO: Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity - 2008
URL:
Description: The Aka Pygmies living in the south-west region of the Central African Republic have developed a distinctive vocal musical tradition, which involves a complex type of contrapuntal polyphony based on four voices, mastered by all members of the Aka community.
Music and dance form an integral part of Aka rituals including ceremonies related to the inauguration of new encampments, hunting and funerals. Unlike polyphonic systems that are written down in notation, the vocal tradition of the Aka Pygmies allows for spontaneous expression and improvisation. During performances, each singer can change his or her voice to produce a multitude of variations, creating the impression that the music is continuously evolving. The songs are generally accompanied by various percussion and string instruments, each one played for a specific occasion.Among the most common instruments are a local type of drum (enzeko), a harp-like instrument known as the geedale-bagongo, and the single-string bow (mbela). The songs perpetuate essential knowledge for the cohesion of the group and the preservation of community values. The dances are performed to the accompaniment of vibrant hand-clapping. Depending on the ritual, some dances feature men only, while others may be executed by couples or by male and female solo dancers. Relying entirely on oral transmission, the Aka Pygmies have succeeded in preserving their musical knowledge within the community by including children in rituals from an early age.
The lifestyle of the Aka Pygmies has been drastically disrupted due to the changes currently taking place in the Central African Republic. The scarcity of game resulting from deforestation, the rural exodus and the folklorization of their heritage for the tourist industry are the principal factors contributing to the gradual disappearance of many of their traditional customs, rituals and skills.

Zandvlei: Armed Forces Night Shoot fallout.
Zandvlei mouth was left closed on the Full Moon flush due to the event and we now see the costs paid by the enviroment. Large areas of sea grass are now rotting with large black patches appearing everywhere in the vlei.
We opposed the Armed Forces Night Shoot, the soldiers were professional as expected, for many reasons not taken into consideration as there was no proper community consultation. Residents showed their displeasure as less then half the numbers of expected turned up. Originally typed as 710 000 which we will say is one of the ,many typos is 71 000.
Originally planned for Polokwane we believe the move to Cape Town is political. We as citizens were not satisfied with the last minute granting of the Event Permit even though all weaponry was already in place in contravention of by-laws as there was no permit.
Question: If tanks, heavy artillery, rocket launcher vehicles, G5 and G6 cannons let alone 10 000's of rounds of munitions dont trigger Environmental Impact Assessments what does?

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.
