THANDO Mgqwetho, born Johan Goosen, is the lucky winner of a R10 000 cash prize, courtesy of the PE Express’ “Bay’s Finest” Businesses competition.
While many would use the money for their Christmas holiday preparations or finally fixing a few things around the house, for Thando, as he prefers to be called, this win came at the perfect time to take care of his medical needs.
“When I received the call, I was sitting at home after just returning from the hospital for an operation,” he said. “I have kidney disease, and I had just come back from a stent insertion procedure, so you can imagine I wasn’t feeling very great. But receiving that call really cheered me up.”
Thando casually entered the competition, not thinking he even stood a chance, but after winning, he said he felt that although life has been quite the roller coaster ride for him, it was also giving him many chances at living purposefully.
“A few years ago, I lost my leg at a farm I worked at. Something bit my toe, and the infection spread to the point where my leg had to be removed. I also lost my job as a result - I lost everything,” Thando shared.
He said he fell into a dark hole, and nothing made sense to him anymore, until a woman, Thandi Mgqwetho, found him and nursed him back to life.
“That Gogo was an angel sent to give me life again. She took me in and literally cared for me until I was alive again. Thandi wasn’t a wealthy woman,
but she shared the little that she had with me.”
The old woman shared more than just material things with Thando. “She’s the one that gave me the name ‘Thando’, meaning love. She saw something beautiful in me even at my lowest - she said I was a lovable person, and also was full of love.
It boggled my mind to think that at a time when I felt like my life was slipping away from me, someone saw such purity in me.
She restored so much in me, and if it wasn’t for her, I don’t know where I’d be,” Thando said emotionally.
Thandi passed away last year, but even after passing, Thando said she’s still giving to him and inspiring him.
“I don’t take anything for granted anymore, especially life. I live life with so much meaning and intentionality now, and I know she would be so proud of the progress I’ve made because of her love and care.”
Thando’s favourite place in the Bay is the Pier by the beach.
“I mentioned it as my favourite place in one of the questions for the competition because when I’m there, I’m transported back to the days when I was younger and would have hot dogs and ice cream with my friends there. It’s so beautiful and serene, the sound of the waves, the breeze, and watching the sunset and rise there is just breathtaking,” Thando concluded.
With the money he’s won, Thando plans on taking care of his medical expenses and making sure he takes care of his health while on a path of living with purpose and intention.
CONSUMERS and businesses in the Nelson MandelaBayandsurroundingareasarebeing introduced to a new fuel pricing regime.
Thischangemeansthatalthoughfuelprices have decreased, this group of people will be paying more for fuel than they ordinarily would as a coastal region. A unilateral decision by the Minister of Mineral and Petroleum Resources to revise the transport tariffs for petrol, diesel, and paraffin to those applicable in inland zones means that Bay consumers will not receive the full benefit of the October fuel price reduction.
“Effectively,accountabilityfortheadditional costs incurred by fuel transporters and wholesalers of trucking fuel into the area after a berth at the Port of Port Elizabeth was damaged in June is being unfairly passed on to localconsumersandbusinesses,”saidPresident oftheNelsonMandelaBayBusinessChamber, Siyolo Dick. “Every quarter of society is justifiably outraged.”
Dick assured the community that the Chamber, acting in the interests of its 700-member businesses, is tackling this injustice head-on.
“We are urgently investigating the economic impact and the implications of the Minister’s decision and considering the various options available to us to oppose this harsh and unfair decision, and have it reversed,” he said. “We are consulting with our national partners to rally strategic support, and we will follow every possible avenue to fight on behalf of our members and the community of Nelson Mandela Bay.”
“This is not simply a matter of losing out on a few cents per litre of the reduced fuel price. The ripple effect is substantial – raising the costs of transport for workers, the costs of doing business and transporting goods, with in-
flationary impact especially on the prices of foodandessentialgoods.Theimpactontheagricultural sector is particularly dire, as the tariff increases with distance from the port,” Dick explained.
“Even more serious than the cost implication, it is a blatantly unfair and unjust decision by the Minister, taken without consultationwiththeaffectedcommunity,whichpenalises, and passes the buck to, local consumers and businesses for a problem not of their making,” he added.
Denise van Huyssteen, Chamber CEO, echoed these sentiments, “This results in the area being unfairly subjected to new pricing tariffs where consumers and businesses will pay more for their fuel than what they should normally have been subjected to as part of a coastal region,” she said.
“Inpracticalterms,onthepriceof95unleaded fuel, consumers in the Bay received an 83 cents per litre reduction instead of 114 cents, while those in Kariega were penalised even more with a 50 cents reduction and the Kirkwood area with a 45 cents reduction. In terms ofdiesel,theBayreceiveda73centsreduction, Kariega 50 cents, and the Kirkwood area 45 cents reduction,” van Huyssteen detailed.
“On LPG gas, the Bay received a 250 cents increase, Kariega 162 cents, and Kirkwood a 149 cents increase,” she added.
“While we understand that this pricing structure is of a temporary nature, and that once the berth is fixed this area will return to its former allotted zone, this decision will still have a lasting effect and may potentially impact upon future fuel pricing adjustments,” van Huyssteen warned.
“We are currently reviewing the matter and oncewehaveafullunderstandingoftheimplications, we will consider the various options to determine our next steps in opposing this harsh and unfair decision,” she concluded.

Housing visit highlights progress,challenges in NMB
NKOSAZANA NGWADLA
THEthirddayoftheHousingoversightvisitwas dedicated to reviewing progress and addressing challenges in housing projects in Masangwanaville (Block 40), Motherwell NU 12 C, and NU 30. Key participants included Honourable Makhaya Twabu, Chairperson and Honourable Avela Mjajubana,WhipfromtheEasternCapeProvincial Legislature Committee, and hMMC Thembinkosi Mafana, the Portfolio Head for Human Settlements.
The visit aimed at discussing the advancement of the projects, with a focus on confirming Ward Councillors and beneficiaries. Community members voiced concerns about the need for pegging to measure plots, providing electricity to completed houses, clearing stormwater
drains, and fixing water leaks during rainy conditions.
TwabuemphasisedtheimportanceofcollaborationamongtheRegionalHeadforHumanSettlements, Zwelidinga Mkayitsana, Portfolio Head Thembinkosi Mafana, and Ward Councillors, urging them to meet with beneficiaries to develop better solutions. The goal is to resolve these issues before the next visit from Parliamentary leaders and members of the Eastern Cape Provincial Legislature Committee, scheduled for October 21 to 25.
NelsonMandelaBayMunicipalityspokesperson, Sithembiso Soyaya, said housing administration and delivery have improved in the past two years. “However, challenges such as delays related to extortion, the pace of electrification, and land availability versus the backlog remain significant. This was revealed during an over-
sight visit by the Provincial Human Settlement Portfolio Committee to several housing projects in Nelson Mandela Bay,” he said.
For the current financial year 2024/25, the Metro has been funded to build 600 houses for R123 million. Currently, 126 houses have been constructed. Soyaya added that the Metro currentlyhasabacklogof126 000housesand184approved informal settlements.
Speaking to the Metro councillors and officials,PortfolioChairpersonMPLMakhayaTwabusaidhewaspleasedthatthehousingdelivery programme in Nelson Mandela Bay was proceeding well. “We have identified a few minor challenges like delays due to projects being disrupted, poor coordination between relevant departments, and minor defects in a few houses. Wearepleasedthatwewerepresentedwithsolutions to these challenges,” said Twabu.
TheMPLsrecentlyvisitedaprojectinChatty, in an area called Jachvlakte, where 275 houses havebeencompletedwith52remaining.Thedelegation later visited two housing projects in Kwanobuhle, three projects in Motherwell, and one in Khayamnandi in Despatch. Part of the oversightvisitsincludesinteractingwithbeneficiariesandthosewhoarestillonthewaitinglist to check their satisfaction with the quality of their houses and provide an update about housing delivery.
Mafana said he was encouraged by the visit of the Portfolio Committee. “This visit gives us an opportunity to improve the quality of the work that we do. It also assists in improving intergovernmental relations and cooperation in our quest to implement Human Settlements withintheDistrictDevelopmentModel(DDM),” he concluded.

University to honour Michael Barry with doctorate
NKOSAZANA NGWADLA
RHODES University recently announced that Gqeberha art activist and educator, Michael Barry, will be awarded an honorary Doctor of Laws (LLD)(honoriscausa)duringtheUniversity’sgraduationceremonyinMakhanda on October 11.
Over decades, Barry has used the arts as a platform for social justice, community upliftment, and cultural preservation. His work as an arts activist has empowered marginalised communities, including vulnerable youth, by encouraging them to view the arts as not only a viable career path but also a means of expressing their lived realities. He has played a pivotal role in public art initiatives and community projects, such as Route 67 in Gqeberha and the Helenvale “Boy and the Kite” public artwork, which symbolises hope, peace, and resilience in communities facing social challenges.
Barry’s life and career have been shaped by the turbulent times of South Africa’s apartheid era, particularly his early experiences of forced
Bay’s
removals from Fairview, Gqeberha. His creative journey began with a Fine Arts Honours degree from the prestigious Michaelis School of Fine Art at the University of Cape Town. He later earned a Higher Diploma in Education and a Master’s in Art EducationfromNelsonMandelaUniversity. Despite the challenges of apartheid, Barry channelled his experiencesintohisworkasbothanartistand

educator, always driven by the desire to uplift others.
Barry’s influence extends beyond the canvas. His commitment to community engagement is evident throughhisrolesasateacher,mentor, and arts advocate. After teaching art at St Thomas Senior Secondary School in Gqeberha, where he pioneered creative arts education in the Northern Areas, Barry continued to
promote community development through the arts. His work with the Arts&TeachingInitiatives(ATI)and his involvement in numerous heritage and public art projects have had a lasting impact on both the Eastern Cape and South Africa as a whole.
Rhodes University Vice-Chancellor Professor Sizwe Mabizela praised Barry’sunwaveringdedicationtothe arts, saying, “Social justice, equality, and access to the arts have been the mainstayofhislifelongjourneyasan artist,artsactivist,andartseducator. He has inspired a generation of vulnerable youth to take up the arts as a viable career option, and to use the medium to express their lived realities.”
This honorary doctorate not only recognises Barry’s achievements but also his significant contributions to South Africa’s cultural heritage. Barry’s projects, such as his involvement with the South End Museum and the Northern Areas Heritage, Research, and Interpretive Centre (NAHRIC), exemplifyhiscommitmenttopreserving and celebrating the stories of displaced people and communities.

East Cape trainers are gunning for the win
THE local trainers are hard at work to make sure that an East Cape stable wins the most prestigious horse race in the province this year.
The R350 000 Algoa Cup over 2 000m will be run on October 25 at the Fairview Turf track in Greenbushes.
Surfin’ USA, trained by Jacques Strydom, was the last local horse to win the Algoa Cup. He won in 2009.
The local stables will be hoping there is a victory for them on Algoa Cup Day in the same fashion that Cruise Control won at Fairview this past Friday.
There was a Cape Town visitor in the field, but Cruise Control produced another sparkling sprinting performance to win the R200 000 Cradock Place Stakes over 1 200m by more than five lengths.
Cruise Control has now won 13 races from 22 starts and has earned more than R1 million in stakes money. Initially it cost R200 000.
Since then, the visiting Western Cape horses have dominated this race. They will again be a huge factor this time.
Three Western Cape stables, those of trainers Justin Snaith, Brett Crawford and Glen Kotzen, showed interest in this year’s race.
Jockey Luyolo Mxothwa has developed a special bond with Cruise Control. He has now ridden Cruise Control six times and has won six times on him.
Mxothwa and trainer Gavin Smith were very happy with this performance.
Among them, they have nominated 10 horses to run in the race. Snaith won the race last year with Future Swing.
Seven Fairview stables have nominated 16 horses between them.
The final field for the big race will be announced on October 21 and it should be very interesting to see which horses will take up their positions.
Racing fans are also looking forward to the other big race at this meeting, the R250 000 Racehorse Owners Association Stakes.
Smith has done a wonderful job with Cruise Control, who has become a stronger and more relaxed horse over time.
Algoa Cup Day is going to be a really big one, but there is plenty of action at Fairview before then.
There are meetings this coming Friday and Tuesday and then there is that all-important third and final leg of the Nelson Mandela Bay Poly Challenge on the 18th.
This is a race for three-year-old horses over 1 600m and we have seen some brilliant performances in this one over the years.
The Cape Town horse King Regent won the first two legs. He can become the first to win all three legs of the Challenge, which started in 2016, and secure a bonus of R250 000 for his connections.
Olwam Soya joins Mzwandile Mali XV in UK
SELBY MADIKANE
COSELELANI Secondary School rugby player, Olwam Soya, left South Africa on Friday and went with the Mzwandile Mali XV Schools’ Rugby Tour Team to the United Kingdom.
Soya, whose rugby career started at Swartkops Primary School under principal and rugby coach, Lwandile Aba, was selected as a prop with other players during the Mzwandile Mali Schools’ Rugby Tournament that was played at Wolfson Stadium in April.
Soya said before he left Motherwell for Johannesburg, “I was introduced to rugby by principal Aba when I was a young boy at Swartkops Primary. When I was admitted to Coselelani Secondary, I was motivated by my rugby coach, Mthuthuzeli Yoyo, and our local rugby coach, Rev Lumkile Tete, to play rugby.
“When our school participated in the Mzwandile Mali Schools Rugby Tournament early this year, I played my heart out. I feel very honoured to play rugby overseas because I am the only one in
my whole family to have this opportunity of playing overseas.”
Soya urged other learners to take sport seriously and highlighted that the youth should refrain from abusing drugs since they jeopardise their future. His mother, Thuliswa Soya, stated that she initially had mixed feelings but later on she was excited that her son was part of the team that was going to play in England.
Principal Langa Tshangana said that they were on top of the world as the school to have their learner, who is a player from Motherwell, going to play in the United Kingdom.
Rugby coach, Nelisa Nonyukela, also stated that Soya has put Coselelani on the world rugby map.
Soya scored a beautiful try when his side defeated Seven Oaks Academy 40–7 on Sunday. Their two games will be against Brighton College on October 9 and the last game will be against Seven Oaks Academy at Oaks Club on October 12. They are expected back on October 14.
Coselelani Secondary principal, Langa Tshangana, and SGB member, Nonceba Matshaya, hand over the sports bag, rugby boots and a luggage bag to Olwam Soya and his mother, Thuliswa Soya. With them are Coselelani Secondary rugby coaches, Lonwabo Mgobo and Nelisa Nonyukela, and Sinekhaya Mdliswa.

Local cricketers ready for North-South Tournament
THE u/19 cricketers of the Grey High School in Gqeberha face the biggest challenge of their careers.
They will represent the province in the North-South Tournament which starts tomorrow in Pretoria.
Pool matches in the T20 format will take place on the first two days, followed by the play-offs and finals on Saturday and Sunday.
The tournament has grown in stature since it started in 2018. It has become bigger and better and is a really special fixture on the national school cricket calendar.
The 16 teams will play in four different groups before advancing to the play-offs.
Grey is in a tremendously tough group, Pool D, and it will take a huge effort to beat very strong opposition.
The Grey boys have the talent and ability to make an impact as a team and as individuals. The names of players who perform at this competitive tournament will definitely go into the notebooks of influential people in South African schools’ cricket.
The Gqeberha side has produced plenty of fine performances this season leading up to the tournament.
They beat Selborne College by five wickets when Teun Kloppenberg and Tristan Grundling batted beautifully.
Likhona Gcora and Nathan Howell impressed with the ball in that match.
There was a nail-biter against Graeme College when Grey won by one wicket. Xander Elkington was the hero in this one when he took 4/20 with the ball.
Grey lost in the first innings against Rondebosch but beat Pinelands and Dale College very easily. Joel Maree caught the eye with an unbeaten innings of 86 runs against Dale.
This past weekend the players were involved in the annual Cricket Bash at the Pollock Oval of Grey High.
The Bash saw 72 Grey players ranging from u/14 to the first
team, compete in some thrilling T20 matches.
This was excellent preparation for the u/19s as the matches were played in the same format as the Pretoria tournament.
Menlopark, Paarl Boys’ High and St Andrew’s College from Bloemfontein are the teams with Grey in Pool D.
Grey will start their campaign against St Andrews on the Sinoville field. The match starts at 13:30.
The players from Paarl Boys’ High compete in the tough Western Cape league and must be regarded as serious contenders to go all the way in the tournament.
They tackle Grey on Friday
