| Words - About Me | | Wednesday, 28 February 2007 04:00 |  I am a multimedia artist - performance, painting, fashion, costume design, ceramics, poetry, writing (recently had novel published by Pine Slopes Publications called "TELL TALE" ISBN 0-9684874-1-3).
Art was not an option for study at High School. However, during my Biology teacher training, drawing those microscopic details began to stir something within my creative urge. However, I only began painting when I studied fine art at PMB University. During this year there were disagreements with some of my lecturers.
I then left for Europe on a one way ticket! HUGE changes occurred in my 'psyche' during my travels. However travelling made me realise how 'African' I was and I returned to South Africa at the end of...

on his eternal motorbike ride.
He (like me) did not celebrate his birthdays
but
today he would have been 34
I wrote this poem:

The Education department claimed that they had not dismissed me because I
was on a ‘fixed term contract’ which expired on 31.12.09.
1. I stated that there was a huge discrepancy between what the
Education Department ‘thought’ was happening in the schools,
and what was ACTUALLY happening.
(I was told this was impossible)
2. I stated that I could NEVER have been a UTE on the very basis that
the Education Department defines a UTE, and I quoted this
information which I had downloaded from the internet:
"This term was coined in 1998 to refer to educators who were employed after 01/07/96...

"This term was coined in 1998 to refer to educators who were employed after 01/07/96. These educators had no claim to the posts they were occupying as the posts were reserved for the redeployment of excess educators. The term UTE was only applicable during the Rationalization and Redeployment process which terminated in 2001. This term (UTE) is by right obsolete but unfortunately is still being used today."
The above is quoted from STATUS OF TEMPORARY EDUCATORS published on the internet. I was under the impression that this was a carry over from the apartheid regime. So this either proves that there were those who were PART of the previous regime who drew up this 'grand idea', or there were new idiots in the Ed. Dept. also lacking in insight.
