THE CASE: The Mahlangu family of Emthonjeni CAD1501/102/0/2026 Emthonjeni is a fictional township on the East Rand in Gauteng, made up of RDP houses, backyard shacks and a small informal settlement. Many residents came from rural KwaZulu-Natal and the Eastern Cape to find work. Read the exhibits below and then answer the questions. Exhibit 1: Family and community profile Lwazi (boy) 5 years 10 months. Grade R at Sikhulile Primary. He starts Grade 1 next January. Home language isiZulu. Gogo Nomsa (68) Lwazi’s grandmother and main daytime caregiver. Receives the older person’s grant. Left school in Grade 4. She is a storyteller and sings clapping songs with the children. She has hip pain and walks slowly. Zanele (32) Lwazi’s mother. Works as a cashier in a shopping centre 40 km away. Leaves at 04:30 by minibus taxi and returns after 19:30, six days a week. Very tired on weekends. Wants Lwazi to “go to a good English school and not suffer like me”. Themba (35) Lwazi’s father. Works as a security guard in Rustenburg and visits twice a year. Sends money irregularly. Lwazi calls him “uBaba wasefoni” (Dad on the phone). Bongani (10) Lwazi’s brother, Grade 4 at the same school (see Exhibit 6). Thandi (15) Lwazi’s sister, Grade 9 at the high school 3 km away (see Exhibit 7). Home A two-room RDP house with a backyard shack rented to a tenant. Five family members share the main house. One outside tap. Prepaid electricity and regular load-shedding. Gas stove for cooking. 7 8 Neighbourhood Spaza shops, two taverns, a church, and a soccer field that is unsafe after dark. Gang-related gunfire is heard a few times a month. No pavements on the road to school. The clinic is 3 km away and has long queues. The nearest library is 5 km away. Early learning Lwazi attended Mama Rose’s unregistered crèche (22 children in a yard, few toys, no trained practitioner) from age 3 to 5. Sikhulile Primary now has a Grade R class of 42 learners with one teacher and no assistant. Lessons are mostly in English, with some isiZulu code-switching. Community resources Church stokvel and women’s prayer group, a community policing forum that meets monthly, a Sunday school, a ward councillor’s office, and a youth club run by a Grade 9 teacher (Ms Zulu) on Friday afternoons. Exhibit 2: Extract from the Grade R teacher’s report (Ms Khumalo, September) “Lwazi is a bright, curious boy who loves songs and stories. He runs, jumps with two feet and hops a few times on one foot. He holds his pencil in his fist and struggles to cut on a line. He counts objects to ten and asks many ‘why’ questions. In English he follows one-step instructions but often looks lost with two steps, then answers in isiZulu. He cannot yet retell a story in order. He recognises the first letter of his name and the Coca-Cola logo. He cries at the school gate when Gogo leaves and sometimes hides under the table when there is a loud noise. He usually plays next to other children rather than with them, except with his friend Aphiwe. He is bossy in games and shares only when I ask him. He is sleepy on some mornings and has come to school without breakfast. In a class of 42 I cannot give him the individual time he needs.”
