‘We are struggling to save our boys’ ANNA PAUW AND NCEBA DLADLA
I
T is that time of the year when Eastern Cape boys go to the initiation schools hoping to come back as men – “Amadoda”.
The sad reality is, however, that many die during the initiation and this year is no exception. The initiation season in the Eastern Cape started on June 10 and continues until the end of July. According to Eastern Cape records revealed to the media, so far 23 boys have died during Xhosa initiation since the season started about 23 days ago. According to Sizwe Kupelo, a spokesperson for the provincial health department, 47 boys died during the Eastern Cape initiation season last year. Standing out among these statistics, is however, the Nelson Mandela Bay region, which has recorded no initiation related deaths in the last eight years. This was confirmed during a visit to the city last week by Local Government and Traditional Affairs MEC Mlibo Qoboshiyane and Chief Lwandubuzwe Ngwekazi who represents the EC House of Traditional Leaders. A committee that has been set up in the metro municipality comprising Portfolio Councillor Fikile Desi as its political champion, chiefs, traditional health practitioners, health as well as municipal officials are largely the reason why the initiation process is running so smoothly in the Bay. With the support of parents who must lead the processes and procedures, they play a pivotal role in ensuring that young men do not lose their manhood or lives in pursuit of an age-old tradition. In the other parts of the region where deaths have been recorded this year, emergency measures are now being put in place for extra beds for hospitals, especially in rural areas, which are being inundated with initiation-re-

lated admissions in some parts of the province. Hospitals in Mthatha, Lusikisiki and Bizana no longer have empty beds. “We struggle to save our boys,” Kupelo said. He said many of the 23 children who had died, were dead on arrival at the hospital. “They wait too long to get to hospital. By the time they do seek medical help, the condition of many of them is already critical.” He said the boys brought to hospitals are usually very dehydrated and many of them have infection because of circumcisions done

under unhygienic conditions. “The boys struggle to urinate and they lose their genitals owing to infection.” Kupelo said there were now more than 100 boys in hospitals in the province, many of whom were in a critical condition. “This death toll and hundreds of sick boys can be attributed to mismanagement of the initiation. There must be better control.” According to him, the boys must also seek quicker medical help when they realize something is wrong. It could save their lives.
MEC Qoboshiyane was very happy during his visit to PE, however, as he found management of the initiation was excellent. Col Sibongile Soci, provincial police spokesperson, said there was good cooperation between the police and the health department to make those responsible for the boys’ death accountable. She said police in the Eastern Cape annually worked on murder investigations related to initiation. Soci could not confirm how many cases are now being investigated.

Quick response leads to arrest of suspected thieves NCEBA DLADLA SWIFT response by members of the South African Police Service (SAPS) in Motherwell led to the arrest of five suspects for being in possession of suspected stolen property last week. The five, Thembalethu Breakfast (34), Mbuyiselo Ramabele (33), Sithembiso Mdani (32), Fanelekile Nolingo (28) and Mawethu Gojela (18) were accused of stealing items from the Social Development Department’s premises in Addo Road, Motherwell on Wednesday 26 June. According to police spokesperson Captain Andre Beetge, the police members who responded to the complaint noticed four persons – Breakfast, Ramabele, Mdani and Nolingo – pushing refuse
bins in Hodi Street, NU 11 and became suspicious. “They searched the bins and found building material in the form of bricks and arrested the four,” said Beetge, adding that a few minutes later they arrested the 18 year-old Gojela at Nyibiba Street, NU 11. The suspect tried to run away when he saw the police coming but they managed to apprehend him. The suspect allegedly threw away a bag that he was carrying. In the bag was zinc sheeting and a towbar. These were added to the items stolen at the Social Development Department premises, according to Capt. Beetge. “The five suspects appeared in Court before the Magistrate on Thursday and were released on warning. They will appear in court again on 9th August,” said Captain Beetge.

Imbasa girls represent the region at National Choral Eisteddfod NCEBA DLADLA SIX young girls from Imbasa Primary School in Motherwell are representing the Eastern Cape Province in the South African Schools Choral Eisteddfod Music National Competition which started yesterday (Tuesday, July 2) at the Rhema Church in Randburg. The girls, aged between 10 and 12 years, left Nelson Mandela Bay with their dedicated teacher and renowned conductor Nyameka Vara on Sunday. This was made possible after the girls won the Sextet category in the Provincial Competition held in East London in May after winning the local and district sextet winners’ cup with the German piece “Seid uns zweiten”. Speaking to PE Express Indaba before their departure to the City of Gold, an elated Vara commended her highly talented “little an-
gels” for their love and dedication to music with all its demands. “The girls have been singing the song in its English sub-titles only to be told a day before the provincial competition that they were expected to sing it in its German original composition. They never panicked, but switched the code with a smooth transition like professionals,” a delighted Vara said. According to Vara, these girls did not allow coming from a disadvantaged background in NU12, Motherwell to hold them back from their love of arts and music. Vara, however, believes she and her children could not have made it without the tremendous support she receives from parents, the principal and staff of Imbasa Primary School as well as the Department of Education. “The school is so supportive and through the department’s assistance we get free meals, travel and accommodation,” said Vara.

According to a resident Lizzie Ntleki (59) these wires were hanging about 1 metre from the ground in Gqubusha Street. “The problem started last December. A fire broke out in the shack of one of our neigbours. The fire also burnt an electric wire that was hanging high above the burning shack. The huge electric box that was outside exploded and at the same time my TV set, DVD player, stove and house bulbs also went out,” said Ntleki. “A team of officials from the municipality’s electricity department arrived. They mended the broken wire with other wires. But instead of pulling the wire high to its former position, they left the deadly wires hanging low. They said it was not their job to pull them up high! They added that their boss was supposed to employ a digger to do the entire job of lifting up the wire by putting new poles in after digging.” She said this year, another explosion took
place soon after she moved into her new RDP house. “The explosion took place on Friday, 7 June. This happened when a team of municipal officials were busy connecting wires from the main box to my RDP house. They wanted to install electricity. But again, after they connected the wires, my repaired TV set, DVD, stove and new bulbs, all exploded at one go!” “Since then, about seven other families in this area’s RDP houses have been living in darkness. They are using candles as their only light. The municipal official who started the whole problem only shrugged his shoulders and said the volts in the electric box outside the yard were very high. He hasn’t even come again or sent people to fix this problem, despite the fact that I have gone to their offices on many occasions to report this matter. Her neighbour, Ponki Jikeka (43), the man whose shack was burnt in the fire last year, said, “Last year, two boys who were crossing this area from the initiation school got shocked. One of them was shaking while being stuck to a pole. The second boy was shaking and lying on the ground. The boy who was clinging to the pole was separated from it by a man with the use of a plank. The boys were treated at the scene. “When it rains, these wires make a hissing sound. When I touch a pot in the kitchen, I get shocked! Some people even mock us saying we’re living in a wire wire township.” Mthubanzi Mniki from the municipality said, “The situation sounds dangerous. We will investigate. But the first thing is to send a team of municipal electricity officials to sort this problem out.” A concerned gogo Lizzy Ntleki and neighbour Ponki Jikeka stand next to the hanging electricity wire.

Tell-it-all documentary made of Eastern Cape’s rugby history NCEBA DLADLA LOCAL television and film producer Nceba Mqolomba is doing research to document rugby as the sport that was brought by the British Settlers to the Eastern Cape. According to Mqolomba, this was inspired by the fact that little is known about Eastern Cape rugby. Through his company Qombola Productions, he wants to put things into per-
spective as far as the great rugby heritage of the Eastern Cape, and especially Uitenhage, is concerned. Mqolomba believes rugby started in the province when the British Settlers arrived in Grahamstown in the 1820s. Black people learnt the sport and played it at their homes. They took it to the mines and throughout the country over the years. “Until the 1990s, black rugby was strong with the Black Springboks who were also

In his work Mqolomba looks at the development of Uitenhage Rugby which has a rich history during the times of the Uitenhage and District Rugby Union in the 1920s featuring clubs like Hamiltons RFC and later the Stars of Hope, Busy Bees and Home Sweepers. Looking at schools rugby, Mqolomba remembers Dwane, Linge and Limekhaya

An upbeat George said the church was looking forward to rolling out the red carpet for the inauguration of its president. “Rev. SV Ncalu who was elected unopposed by all six regions that make up this congregation deserves his second term as the Head of the United Ethiopian Church of Africa,” said George. The congregation’s constitution has a provision for the candidate elected unopposed to be declared the president, explained George. He said as members of the congregation, they were appreciative of the incumbent’s leadership which is in the line with the beliefs and doctrines of the church’s founder, the late Apostle Dr Jackson Mlungisi Masebe.

New KwaNobuhle Sports Forum elected THAMSANQA MBOVANE KARATE master Shihan (master) Newman “Rider” Simakuhle (43) has been elected president of the KwaNobuhle Sports Forum uncontested! The elections were recently held at the AGM that took place at the LoveLife centre in KwaNobuhle township and was attended by members of the Regional Sports Council and all sporting codes. Simakuhle, an 8th dan black belt in karate, is the founder of the Kyokudokaikan style. He said, “First of all, I will unite all sporting codes because they are divided. Secondly, I will make sure that they all pull in the same direction. And thirdly,
I will make sure that whoever is elected to represent the town is assisted and gets the necessary support such as funding.” Simakuhle, who has participated in many fierce tournaments since he started karate at the age 8, has toured Durban, Cape Town, Pretoria, Japan, Portugal, and has fought against the world’s best. He is against people taking advantage of vulnerable people such as women and children. Other people who were elected at the AGM include the following: - Nomawethu Stuurman: Vice-President - Luvuyo Mtati: General Secretary - Nolubabalo Hlaka: Recording Secretary - Monde Mhletywa: Treasurer
AMERICAN Junior World medalist John Burchinfield recently trained 16 Motherwell Rollers and four Dimbaza new club skaters on free-skating at Moffat-on-Main Centre in Walmer. According to Vusikhaya Stali one of Motherwell Rollers skaters, the motive behind the workshop was to show how to do simple artistic skating, simple moves, advanced spins, triple jumps as well as speed skating. Stali also informed PE Express Indaba that Burchinfield trained the skaters how they should align their bodies during free skating,
how to maintain their posture and how to jump. Stali said, “We were motivated to learn artistic skating from Burchinfield who paid individual attention. He made things simple to us and we learned a lot from John. Our skaters brim with confidence and we will not forget what John has done for us.” Motherwell Rollers Chairperson Marianne Terblanche applauded Wendy Gila, President of Roller Sport South Africa and President of Roller Sport of Africa for the trouble she had taken to organise Burchinfield’s visit to South Africa and National Lottery Trust Distribution Funds for always supporting the development of sport and provision of skates for quite a number of years.

Bombers succumbed to gutsy Students SELBY MADIKANE AFRICAN Bombers RFC trailed 22-10 to NMMU Madibaz during their EPRU Grand Challenge clash which they played at Zwide Stadium. The Students showed that they were not scared of Bombers in their own battlefield. The first try of the game was scored within first 10 minutes by Madibaz left wing Yamkela Ngam to take his side 5-0 ahead of the home team. NMMU increased the lead to 12-0 following the try scored by centre Andrew du Toit which flyhalf Devin Liavaux converted. Bombers could have decreased NMMU’s first half lead to 12-3 but their scrumhalf Sizwe Msila missed the penalty kick which
was close to and in front of the poles. Bombers prop Luzuko Mbane came up with an unconverted try which reduced the deficit to 12-5. Bombers eighthman Thembinkosi Manentsa and flank forward Thembelani Bhele Booi played good moves which enabled flyhalf Luyanda Sidumo to score a try which he could convert to reduce again the deficit to 12-10. Home side supporters lost hope when NMMU no.10 Liavaux kicked a penalty which increased their lead to 15-10. Madibaz prop Chad Banfield’s try added more worries to Bombers and Liavaux (a Mixed Martial Arts cage fighter in his spare time) converted their prop’s try to register the final scoreline 22-10. Madibaz Reserves devastated Bombers Reserves 32-12.
