Chairman’s Report

The Director will present a report of the operational activities of the Johannesburg Institute of Social Services (‘JISS’) for the year under review. I will concentrate on the event which represented a watershed moment in the history of JISS, namely the termination of the relationship between JISS and the Jiswa School (‘the School’).

The quintessence of the disjuncture between JISS and the School which led to the disassociation is founded in the appointment, during or about 2014, by the Department of Education (‘the Department’) of Mr M C Mudali (‘Mudali’) as the principal of the School constituting, as it did, a defining factor in the disintegration of the relationship between JISS and the School.

Subsequent to his appointment, Mudali met the Board of Management of JISS (‘the Board’) and was welcomed to the organisation. He was repeatedly assured of JISS’ unwavering support and co-operation in regard to matters relating to the School. Despite such welcome and assurances, Mudali never engaged JISS in regard to any matter. To the contrary, and inexplicably, he systematically and irretrievably went about destroying the relationship between JISS and the School in a multitude of ways, the precise details of which are memorialised in a document too voluminous for inclusion in an annual general report.

Suffice to say that since his appointment, Mudali became consumed in a rancorous disposition and wantonly, though unjustifiably, displayed belligerent and irrational antagonism towards JISS with a singular and maleficent objective of marginalising it. By so doing he irretrievably destroyed a relationship between JISS and the School, a relationship which was nurtured for a period in excess of fifty years.

That pained JISS very deeply but in an endeavour to obviate the brewing disjuncture from escalating into an organisational dislocation, JISS explored

alternative avenues, including engagement with the Department, in the hope that such an approach would afford the best scenario for a possible resolution. Those efforts failed.

Then, and in April 2018 with no reasonable resolution in sight, JISS informed by the reality that the relationship between it and the School had disintegrated irretrievably without reasonable prospects of the restoration or a normal relationship, ended all ties with the School.

In the result it is my unenviable charge to inform you that JISS is no longer associated with the Jiswa School in any shape, manner or form.

I now turn to a matter which is less intense. I was elected to the Board in 1990 and immediately became its vice-chairman. The reigns of JISS were officially passed on to me about ten years ago although, for practical purposes, I was in effective control even prior to that moment.

I am singularly grateful to the Board for having entrusted me with the duty to lead this organisation. My gratefulness is surpassed only by my surprise – my surprise at its longevity. How the time has galloped by. I have always believed that a regular change in leadership is as fundamentally correct as it is necessary even where change may not be indicated. I can and will ask no less of myself. For this reason, I am resigning from the office of Chairman – the resignation will be effective after the 1st meeting of the Board following this Annual General Meeting.

In vacating office, I am keenly aware of the weight of responsibility that will fall on the shoulders of the new incumbent. I am also aware that the new Chairman will need understanding, patience, and co-operation from all of us and to that end I hereby pledge my unqualified support.


I thank all the remarkable people with whom I worked and whose counsel made the journey easier, especially the guidance and encouragement of several colleagues.

I will continue to try to serve the common good and to move toward the ideals and solutions which I believe can build a future of hope and opportunity for the people JISS tries to serve.

I’ve learnt lots of lessons but the one that sticks out is the lesson that deep down we are all alike. We all desire happiness. We all want to be liked, accepted, respected and loved. We cry when we are hurt and we become angry when we are mistreated. It makes no difference whether or not you are on the Board or amongst those in the community who JISS has the privilege of serving. I’ll say it again, deep down we are all the same.

We must, as a precondition of our existence, align with the view that JISS, like most other great movements in history, is built on moral convictions. Simultaneously with that alignment, we must acknowledge that we, the members who constitute JISS, enjoy a position in life which is more fortunate in relation to the position of those we serve. That acknowledgement must lead us to the belief that wealth must serve more than the wealthy, that prosperity must serve more than the simply prosperous and that good fortune must help more than those who are just fortunate. We must believe, sincerely, that inequality should not be woven into the fabric of our lives, that people of compassion and goodwill should never journey without hope and that no injustice should endure for ever.

Life is about more than self interest; work is about more than self-advancement; service is about more than self-service and happiness is about more than what you earn and own.

And therein lies the challenge. If you are in a position of any influence, if you are able to make a difference to those who, for the moment, are less fortunate

than you, then you cannot be comfortable in non engagement when so many of our people are shackled to deprivation which directly threatens the very fabric of society in which the poor, the less educated, the more disadvantaged and the marginalised are the first casualties.

The choice to each one of us is between isolation and engagement - engagement in the discharge of a collective responsibility. In this regard may I urge you to guard against three perils:-

• do not to let your sensitivities towards human deprivation become blunted;

• do not to let apathy, resignation and even despair erode the theoretically majestic ends of welfare and charity; and

• do not to let your passion for basic human rights be diverted into a sterile subculture in which debate on the ethical rationale for challenging human suffering becomes irrelevant.

JISS is one of the oldest voluntary organisations of its kind in the country. It has been the home of many strong and committed leaders. Some members of the Board have served for continuous periods in excess of or nearing 50 years. Others have passed on while in the service of JISS leaving behind a legacy of fond memories. We owe a great debt to all of them.

I acknowledge with deep gratitude the work done by members of the Board who serve on an entirely voluntary capacity and who consistently sacrifice valuable time and effort without any material gain. In equal measure my gratefulness extends to members of the staff. Finally, on behalf of the entire organisation, I acknowledge with appreciation, the invaluable support and solidarity of our well-wishers, donors and sponsors.

I thank you once again for the privilege of service.

Director’s Message

Reflecting on my ten year anniversary as Director of JISS leaves me with a deep sense of pride in this dynamic organisation. In this fast paced era where change is the only constant, this organisation has never passively accepted the impact of external forces. As a learning organisation, regular strategic planning forms part of our quest for excellence. The Management and staff therefore actively respond to challenges and effect changes deemed in the best interest of the continuity and sustainability of this organisation.

This reflection further prompts a review of the significant milestones and achievements over the last decade.

• Regular strategic planning;• Review of our vision, mission and organisational

culture and values;• Rebranding and reinforcing our core services in

our marketing strategy with a new capturing logo and tagline ‘Safeguarding Children & Families’ that speak directly to what JISS is about;

• ‘Research into the people management practices of JISS with an aim of creating a dynamic and professional team’ therefore ultimately working towards two key points of the JISS vision namely; ‘trust’ and ‘dynamic & professional team’ with University of Stellenbosch Executive Development Business students;

• South African Council for Social Service Professionals (SACSSP) accredited group supervision and in-service training;

• Quarterly staff wellness events;• Continually establishing and building

networking partnerships and sourcing donors to extend our reach and impact of services for which we are not funded by the state;

• Responding to the financial cutback challenges creatively resulting in various suppliers and donors supporting this organisation with significantly reduced rates, gratis services and donations in kind;

• The introduction of new talent on the Board of Management to bridge skills gaps;

• Being an employer of choice and sourcing top talent and skills;

• Disaffiliation from Child Welfare South Africa.

Challenges

The skills shortage of social workers in the child protection sector was addressed by the JISS Bursary Fund in partnership with SANZAF (South African National Zakah Fund) in 2011. At the end of 2016 the number of available posts in relation to the excess number of graduates saw most graduates unemployed. The Department of Social Development absorbed as many of their bursary students as possible. The trend followed and JISS too had to review its bursary programme resulting in the termination of the programme by 2017.

The turnaround time between placement of children in temporary safe care and the payment of temporary safe care grants to caregivers by the Department of Social Development leaves temporary safe care parents without sufficient means to provide for the vulnerable children placed in their care. This Institute therefore has to ensure that provision is made for monthly food hampers on hand for distribution to temporary safe care parents and destitute families. Appeals to networking partners and donors are made regularly as we are not funded for this essential basic need.

Statutory mandatory drug testing to chase up the progress of cases, and the placement of notifications in a national newspaper to establish the whereabouts of parents’ of children in need of care and protection are additional costs borne by the Institute as the Department of Social Development does not provide the required funding.

With Gratitude

Management and staff bade an emotional farewell to an excellent social work manager, Madelie van der Merwe who relocated. Madelie’s energy, passion, compassion for staff and beneficiaries alike will be sincerely missed. Madelie touched many lives and contributed significantly to the development of the programmes in the Child & Family Care Unit, the JISWA Profound Unit and the JISWA Centre in Lenasia.

We welcome Ms. Belinda Robertson as the new Social Work Manager from August 2018 and wish her a successful and rewarding experience in her new role.

The maturity, professionalism and dedication of the social work team instils great confidence in the quality of services that we are providing to

children and families at risk and in need of care and protection.

The level of competence and commitment of the administrative team and support staff ensures the efficient and holistic functioning of this organisation.

With a Board of Management comprising of men and women who are all experts in their respective fields bringing diversity to the organisation, this Institute can only grow from strength to strength, God Willing!

Our beneficiaries for whom we exist, may we serve you with integrity, respect and non-judgemental acceptance.

Social Work Services

‘We will respect family life. We will develop it and encourage it in any way we can, for strong families are the foundation of strong communities.’ TONY BLAIR

The best place for a child to grow up in is still within his family of origin. Family preservation therefore remains a priority for the JISS team. A healthy family represents the core building block of a healthy society. Restoring the family unit requires an assessment and evaluation of the current challenges faced by families and the best intervention strategies available to strengthen and preserve the family unit.

We remain steadfast in our commitment to protect children from any form of harm. Statutory intervention in the form of removing children from their biological families is never easy and always traumatic for everyone involved. When the actions of irresponsible adults results in a child being abused, social workers are left with no choice but

to remove in order to safeguard the child and place in homes where they are not at risk and well cared for.

Casework Services

Forty six (46) children were removed through the statutory process from their biological parents’ care during this year. We are hopeful that this number will decrease through the implementation of more effective prevention and early intervention programmes such as parenting groups in future.

Groupwork

During the reporting period group work focused on the following:

• Behaviour modification groups• Life skills groups• Parenting skills groups • Foster parent support group• Mamma Zamma group work model developed

by Tshwane Child Welfare to teach mothers and child minders/carers to bond with young children and to teach the mothers how to stimulate the

8


toddlers and to teach mothers parenting skills focusing on mothers who cannot afford creches or playschools.

• Support group for children growing up without a father figure. The success of the first group for children with absent fathers resulted in the formation of a second group. This is a clear indication that the need to address children who are growing up without a father figure in the house is very high in the communities that we serve.

• Anger Management Group.

Community Development Programmes

The following are the highlights of the year under review and the impact that community outreach services have made:

Kinga Watoto Volunteer Programme

The aim of this community based volunteer driven programme is to identify children in need of care and protection through community awareness programmes and door-to- door visits. Our community based volunteers are the eyes on our children in the community and play an important role in identifying children at risk.

A new manual for the Kinga Watoto Programme has been developed and implemented to strengthen and improve service delivery and programme monitoring. A new coordinator was selected and new volunteers recruited and trained for this very valuable programme.

Hope Project

This programme is in its third year. We are continually appealing to the community to open their hearts and homes and become temporary safe care parents, foster parents or holiday host parents to children in need of care.

The programme focuses on the recruitment, screening and training of Temporary Safe Care parents, Foster parents and host parents to ensure that these parents are available for the placement of children in need of care, especially for emergency removals. This has resolved the problem of Social workers seeking placements for children and the waste of resources in this process. Furthermore, trained alternative care options ensure stability and reduce the risk of placements breaking down.

Child Protection Week

Both offices combined efforts for child protection week in collaboration with Family Life Centre, AIR, Crescent Haven, Aryan Benevolent Home, Nishtara, TIBA Services for the Blind and the Lenasia Local Drug Action Committee. Over the past ten years this networking team has developed a winning recipe to reach as many children and teachers as possible during Child Protection Week.

Eight schools in the Lenasia, Lenasia South and Ennerdale areas were targeted. The schools included Alpha Primary, Park Primary, Flamingo Primary, Progress Primary, Madiba Primary, Sierra Primary, Poseidon Primary and Mid Ennerdale Primary. The staff were divided into teams of social workers and volunteers per classroom to educate the children on the different types of abuse. The educators in every school were also addressed on the identification of the signs of abuse and how to address the problem.

This awareness week programme reached six thousand learners and two hundred teachers.

Children’s Easter Party

The partnership and support of the Lightworkers in many of our events is invaluable and sincerely appreciated.

Eighty children from our beneficiary list were treated to an Easter Party hosted by the Lightworkers at Bryneven Primary School. The children participated in fun activities, listened to motivational talks, enjoyed a magician, received goodie bags, and were treated to KFC, cakes, sweets and many more treats. The day’s events included sporting activities to add to the enjoyment of the day in beautiful surroundings.

Mentorship Programme

Lightworkers and JISS combined initiative includes a Mentorship Programme. The participating schools were Brynevan Primary School and Greyville Primary School; pairing the more privileged with the less privileged. Twenty-four (24) children are involved in the programme.

Women’s Day

On the 26th of August 2017 JISS and Light workers team hosted 100 women for Woman’s day at the JISS Centre in Lenasia. The programme included self-defence, a motivational speaker who advised on how to set up your own business and women had the opportunity to shop for free for clothes, shoes, jewellery and toiletries in the ‘Pop-up shop’.

The Lightworkers creativity, generosity, dedication and hard work in making this day one of the most memorable for JISS beneficiaries was received with immense gratitude.

Children’s Year-End Party

The children’s party was held on 12 December 2017 at the Greyville swimming pool in Lenasia. The children enjoyed Pizzas sponsored by Roman’s Pizza in Lenasia for lunch. They had a great day of play and swimming. The lifeguards were very helpful and had fun activities in the water with the children teaching them water safety. The Social workers had time to build on their relationships with the children. The children were treated to loads of presents and a lot to eat. A total of 75 children attended the party.

The list of donors that we wish to thank for making this day the highlight of the year for so many children include Ismail Ally, Village bakery, Mr Abdul Patel, Eastwave Radio Station, DB Cash and Carry, Maseeha Gangat, Cosmo Novelties, Leila Valli, Brunswick, L’Oréal, Kids for Life, Benito, Karmini Naiker and family/friends, Alisha and the Lancet team, Nooreen Vally and team, Rabia Khan, Shane, and Mr Naidoo. There were also numerous cash donations making the event possible.

Senior Citizens’ Luncheon Clubs

More than 100 senior citizens are part of our Luncheon clubs in Mayfair and Lenasia. This is a valuable relationship and we enjoy having them in our midst.

Highlights of the year under review for the Golden Oldies in Mayfair was their vacation in Port Elizabeth at the end of October 2017. They enjoyed their stay at the Beacon Lodge Hotel and their highlight was the karaoke evening.

The Golden Oldies in Mayfair are actively raising funds for their planned vacation to Cape Town in October 2018. They have regular cake sales and raffles and sourcing donors for transport costs.

The Senior Survivors were also very active this year and one of their highlights was their march against women abuse on Women’s Day. They marched from Extension 10 to the Civic Centre in Lenasia for which they received medals. They proved that no matter one’s age one can always be active in making a difference in the community.

Mandela Day

Staff from both the Mayfair and Lenasia offices partook in Mandela Day activities by giving more than their 67 minutes.

The staff at the Mayfair office decided to clean the house of an at risk family on our caseload as a preventative action in order for the Social worker not to remove their children on the grounds of unhygienic living conditions. The team was kept busy for a few hours in order to make the house liveable and to teach the mother housekeeping skills.

At the Lenasia office, a total of 11 staff and students as well as 8 men from the rehabilitation centre, Serenity Home assisted the Family Health Services Clinic at the JISWA centre with cleaning and maintenance.

Two hundred children from Slovo Park received a take-away kiddie’s meal and treats as part of Kuper Legh Property Management’s Mandela Day initiative.

Garden City Clinic staff treated 200 children in Slovo Park with a meal, small mattresses and tables for the crèches in Slovo Park as well as toys for all the children.

Sixteen Days of Activism

This campaign strategy focused on community dialogue and a door-to-door campaign to make the communities we serve aware of different forms of abuse against women and children. Parents were educated on child care and parenting including the identification of risks and how to protect children from abuse.

Vrededorp and Lawley Upliftment and Awareness Initiative

JISS social workers and students initiated an outreach project to Vrededorp and invited Sultan Bahu Drug Rehabilitation Centre, SANCA and Brixton SAPS to partner with us. We worked together to successfully launch an awareness campaign where interactive group sessions were held with the children residing in the community. The topics covered included personal safety, personal hygiene and how to protect themselves from substance abuse. Adults were addressed on substance abuse and general housekeeping guidelines. This campaign highlighted the need to replicate these kinds of campaigns more often in the communities we serve. The JISS team effort and collaboration with networking partners attributed to the success of the outreach.

The Lenasia Social Worker and students held an open day at the Lawley 2 Clinic in February 2018. Safeguarding children, available resources and awareness on JISS’ projects was promoted. Individual sessions with clients were provided on the day.

Holiday Programmes

The aim of holiday programmes is to keep children occupied and safe over the school holidays by educating them on life skills in an interactive and fun way.

Topics covered included HIV and teenage pregnancy, alcohol and drug abuse and the negative impact on a person’s life when they drop out of school, training in self-defense, career guidance and self-development.

Information Sessions with Sexworkers

The Social workers in Lenasia were invited by an organisation in Soweto to address the sex workers on the importance of caring for your child and all the legal obligations. Two sessions were held. A total of 120 sex workers attended the groups.

Professional Development and Staff Wellness

Professional development, self-care and staff wellness are essential in the Child Protection field and it is therefore given high priority. We ensure that our staff is well equipped, receive the

necessary training and support so that they are emotionally and mentally well to deal with their challenges on a daily basis.

Well cared for staff are more focused and committed to their beneficiaries. Staff development focused on group supervision, in-service training and case conferences. Motivational speakers and tributes to staff from their family members and loved ones on video recordings, Heritage Day celebrating diversity and Mandela day events enhanced teamwork and staff wellness.

Student Training

Engagement and partnerships with the local universities and colleges is essential in efforts to strengthen the organisation’s human resource capacity. Students and volunteers offer counselling to our most vulnerable beneficiaries under the supervision of JISS social workers and managers. The passion and compassion with which our students and volunteers interact with beneficiaries is highly appreciated and invaluable. We appreciate and acknowledge every staff member for walking the extra mile to keep our children safe

We are proud to announce that all our South African Council for Applied Psychology (SACAP) students received distinctions for their practical work at JISS. The working agreement between JISS and SACAP will ensure stability for the children in our care as well as expertise and commitment in more advanced counselling sessions.

JISS accommodated Social work students from the University of Johannesburg, UNISA and Fort Hare.

The following is a testimonial from a student about her journey at JISS.

I started doing my practical as a Social work student at JISS in 2016 during my third year. I came back to do my fourth-year practical with them, and I am currently doing volunteer work at JISS as a qualified Social worker, whilst looking for employment. In the beginning, I honestly thought I wasn’t going to be able to pull through the process because I doubted my capabilities and the thought of meeting different people in the office and engaging with them on a daily basis was quite a scary prospect for me.

My experience at JISS has been amazing. Dealing with a drug-ridden community was a first-time experience and at first it was frustrating because I had to deal


13


with the case of an abandoned child of ten days old found in a rest room. It was not an easy experience to digest, but with time I began to understand what my role entailed-this was to facilitate and maintain a conducive environment in order for clients to feel respected and accepted with their different views. It wasn’t an easy task but through demonstrating the values of individualisation and respect, I was able to develop sound relationships with the clients I came into contact with. I can say with certainty that I did the best I could, however am aware that there is still room for further improvement for future endeavours. There honestly were times I felt like quitting because the process was challenging, but with the support of my supervisor, I managed to overcome all obstacles. The outcome of this whole process, as difficult as it was at times, has transformed me into a better person on a personal and professional level and I look forward in anticipation to my future as a professional social worker, making a difference in the lives of others.

JISWA Profound UnitThe Life Healthcare Esidimeni tragedy which involved the deaths of 143 people at psychiatric facilities in the Gauteng province including cases of starvation and neglect resulted in all facilities including the JISWA Profound Unit undergoing multiple investigations and audits from the Department of Mental Health during the reporting period. During these investigations and the relicensing process, the unit was upgraded to accommodate up to 15 children instead of the previous licencing of 10 children. The audits from the National, Provincial and Regional Department found the Unit to be well equipped and efficiently functioned leaving us with a sense of pride in this facility. The children appear happy in the unit and fond of their caretakers.

The JISWA Profound Unit has been selected by the Department of Education as one of the care centres to receive a conditional grant in order to ensure that learners with profound intellectual disabilities (LSPID) access quality public funded education. The unit has already received learner and teacher support material (LTSM) and training from the Department of Education. The Department of Education team consists of a Speech therapist, an Occupational therapist, a Social worker and a Physiotherapist. They are visiting on a monthly basis. The Unit’s daily programme has been edited by the Department of Education and it is approved by The Department of Mental Health.

Staff

Working with profoundly disabled children is a labour of love and immense passion.

The Unit is only funded for two staff members. The staff complement includes a coordinator, Vinoda Thandray, who is also a social Auxiliary worker, and a caregiver Maria Rapudi. The needs of these children in day care require additional help. We are blessed to have three volunteers who assist the coordinator

and caregiver with the daily care and stimulation of the children. We are thankful to Naghma Naidoo (Sylvie), Alisha Hari and Hlumela Maunga for their passion, dedication and commitment.

Sylvie is a member of the Senior Survivors Luncheon Club and a volunteer at the Unit. The new recruit is a nineteen-year old young woman with a disability. She is a volunteer social auxiliary worker who visits the unit twice a week to assist with play and stimulation of the children. One of our volunteers was successful at securing employment at the JISWA School as an assistant.

Highlights in Development and Progress of the Children

One of the children at the Unit progressed significantly with the care and stimulation offered and was transferred to a more advanced school for children with special needs in Mpumalanga.

One of the other children’s progress has pleasantly surprised staff this year. He now listens and follows simple instructions such as ‘bring yourself a chair and sit down’, ‘pick up the keys’, ‘close the door’, says thank you and notices when Maria the caregiver is not there and continually asks for her. His father is most grateful to the Unit staff for the visible improvement in his child.

Fun Activities at the Unit

• Heritage Day was celebrated by asking parents to dress the children in traditional clothes. Everyone enjoyed pizzas for lunch as a special treat.

• Celebrated Tekkie Tax and Casual day.• In December 2017 we held the year end function

for the parents and the children at the Rietvlei Zoo Farm.

• Celebrated the Children’s Birthdays. • Treat at JISWA Centre Lenasia with staff, students

and JISWA Profound Unit children.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and,in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements orour knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

1.4 Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial StatementsOur objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are freefrom material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes ouropinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted inaccordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise fromfraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expectedto influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professionalscepticism throughout the audit. We also:

• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures thatare appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectivenessof the company's internal control.

• Conclude on the appropriateness of the members' use of the going concern basis of accounting and basedon the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions thatmay cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that amaterial uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the relateddisclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Ourconclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, futureevents or conditions may cause the company to cease to continue as a going concern.

• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including thedisclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in amanner that achieves fair presentation.
