Downloaded from hlayiso.com English First Language/SG/P1 DBE/2012 SCE TEXT A MOTHER TO HOMELESS CHILDREN By Solly Maphumulo 1 The owner of a popular coffee shop could no longer bear to be surrounded by destitute children — so she closed down her business so that she could care for them full-time. 2 Softly-spoken Lenie Pienaar of Meyerton, is now the surrogate mother to 11 abandoned children. 3 Her story started in 2000, when the police brought her an abandoned one-week- old baby boy and asked her to look after him after they had found him in the streets. 4 "| was moved by the circumstances he was born into. He was a tiny little baby. | wanted to give him love," Pienaar said. 5 She found it increasingly difficult to run her coffee shop while caring for the baby. 6 "Closing my shop was a tough decision because that's how | made a living. But that wasn't an issue anymore. Hein (her new baby) had become my first priority. He was a tiny little boy and helpless. His alcoholic mother left him on the streets. | couldn't bear to see the child suffering.” 7 The child-support grant Pienaar receives for each child seems like a drop in the ocean, because there's so much to be done and so much is needed. 8 Her face lights up when she talks of the strong bond between her and the first child she took into her home. 9 "He is my pride. He is still living with me. He is 4 years old now and he calls me ‘mummy’ because | am the only mother he has ever known." 10 She lives for her children, and has no regrets.

Downloaded from hlayiso.com English First Language/SG/P1 DBE/2012 SCE TEXT B THE ART OF SUSHI By Leigh Robertson Nowadays pretty much everyone knows what sushi is — you can pick up a few plastic containers of nigiri and maki along with your groceries at the supermarket. But as a waitress at Cape Town's first sushi restaurant in the late 80s, | saw some startled reactions as locals got to grips with eating uncooked fish, seaweed and that pale green stuff that looks amazingly like avocado. Until, that is, you pop the whole lot in your mouth only to feel, seconds later, as if your head's imploding. Of course it isn't avo but wasabi, a paste made from Japanese horseradish and used in conjunction with soy sauce to season sushi. But it's both agony and ecstasy as your sinuses normalize and your mouth fills with a burst of exquisite flavours. Once bitten by the ‘wasabi monster’ (well it does bite!), few can resist succumbing to a full-on sushi addiction — and you'll soon find you can't get enough of this ingenious, super healthy fare that dates back to the 1700s. It's for good reason the Japanese are renowned for their longevity, with all the fish, rice, vegetables, soya, seaweed and green tea they've consumed over the centuries. Having a sushi addiction can be quite an expensive habit. But then, visiting an authentic Japanese restaurant and enjoying the special skills and hospitality of a sushi chef, is an experience that goes beyond simply sitting down to a plate of food. It's almost ritualistic in the pleasurable processes that ensue from start to end — wiping your hands with a steaming oshibori; watching the artistry of the chef as he slices the fish and prepares the sushi; ordering and eating item by item; savouring the contrasting and complementary flavours and textures; sipping green tea at the meal's end.

Downloaded from hlayiso.com English First Language/SG/P1 DBE/2012 SCE TEXT G HIGHER CALLING By Robyn Maclarty 4 ‘| must love this HIV of mine. | must accept it, so it can accept me. You can't get rid of it. If you don't accept your virus, that's when you get ill.’ 2 Monica didn't always feel this way about her condition, and she is one of the lucky few who've managed to reconsile themselves with their situation. 3 The devastation that follows the discovery that you are HIV positive can be paralyzing, and things get worse if the support of friends and family is not forthcoming. This situation is shockingly prevelent in South Africa's townships and rural areas, where people's views of HIV can be disturbingly misguided. 4 But salvation can come in strange forms. It could be a small concrete house in Khayelitsha that sits on the edge of a grassless field — a cheerless sight were it not for its colour. The house is pink. 5 This is one of the Wola Nani branches in the Western Cape. Established in 1994, Wola Nani is Xhosa for 'we embrace and develop one another’, and is providing sorely needed care and inspiration for disadvantaged HIV positive people — mostly women and their children, but there are male members — who do not have the knowledge or resources to cope with their situation.
