New school for Coega NCEBA DLADLA
T
HE Minister of Education, Angie Motshe-kga visited Nelson Mandela Bay yesterday for the official handover ceremony of the Coega Primary School in Wells Estate, near Motherwell which has been renovated to the tune of R1.5 million. The minister praised the responsiveness of business in helping to provide for the needs of society and specifically children whose future she said, lay in the power of education. The Shoprite Group repaired the Coega Primary School after it was cited in media reports in August 2012 as an example of how schools in the Eastern Cape have deteriorated without support staff. The school was literally in no condition for effective learning and teaching to take place. Motshekga thanked the Shoprite Group and its partners for being so responsive to cover the overall costs of repairs to Coega Primary restoring the school’s functionality and by doing so helping enhance learner attainment. “This timely intervention shows that working together we can do more to improve the quality of education,” Motshekga said. She said that government had prioritised the Eastern Cape Province in its service delivery plan especially with regards to infrastructural development. The Shoprite Checkers Development Trust stepped in and invested R1 282 951 with some supplier companies contributing R177 539 to cover the overall costs of R1 459 490 for the repairs. The school had no electricity or running water, the 15 classrooms were littered with broken desks and windows while the ablution facilities were not functional. Some classes had no windows and doors and strong wind blew sand and dust into the rooms. As a result the school could not operate properly. The welcome renovations included painting, paving, electricity, windows, galvanized window guards and plumbing installations, a new library facility, new verandas, grass planting and a brand-new kitchen. The minister said the school would stand

All has now been completed and Shoprite and its partners have asked the community to take over the guarding and safety of the school to ensure that the 1 300 primary school pupils are motivated to achieve maximum results in a friendly, warm and efficient learning environment. Danie du Toit, divisional manager of the Shoprite Group in the Eastern Cape, thanked the community who have worked with Shoprite to make this school an example of how the community, business and Government can work together to secure the future of education for all in the country. He said the future of the school was now in
the hands of the community to protect and look after, adding that the Shoprite Group looked forward to seeing how they built on this example. School principal Xolile Mpati thanked the Shoprite Group for restoring the dignity of their pupils. Mpati said learning and teaching in the school would take place for seven hours a day and that results would drastically improve. Problems of poor attendance by pupils and teachers taking sick leave would be a thing of the past, promised Mpati. “I feel that Shoprite is not only interested in having customers in stores; they are interested in education as well as upliftment in the community,” said Mpati proudly. He also thanked the community, the School Governing Body and local councillor Nondikho Gana who have all worked together and
got very involved in the repairs to the school. The Treasurer of the SGB, Zoleka Gqirana said that previously people did not see Coega Primary School as a school, but now they admire the school because of all the renovations and improvements Shoprite did. “I am very proud of the school,” she said, urging other community members to take ownership of the school and protect it from vandalism. Councillor Gana also thanked Shoprite for the gesture of assisting the school. She said it had not been a pleasant place to be at but now that Shoprite has done the renovations it has made a big difference. The school has 39 teachers and 13 non- teaching staff, which includes a groundsman, 2 secretaries (of which one is a volunteer) and 10 kitchen staff who cook meals for the pupils.

No end to homeless residents’ fight with municipality “We are treated like dogs in our country. We do not have a place to stay . . . ”
NCEBA DLADLA TWO weeks after Ward 54 in Motherwell residents’ shacks were destroyed by municipal officials after being illegally built, they still have no place to call home.
SIPHIWO DAYIMANI (SANCO)
Hundreds of homeless residents, who have been on the waiting list for RDP houses for a long time, illegally occupied the municipal land to force the municipality to consider the housing delivery strategy and relocation plan. Shortly thereafter they were evicted and their shacks destroyed. The residents, which include young and old people, women and children, have been sleeping at the NU11 stadium ever since. Provincial police spokesperson Lt Col Sibongile Soci explained that it was the municipality that destroyed the shacks and not the police. “The police were only there to keep the peace. Destroying the shacks is not our responsibility. We were there to monitor the situation as the municipal officials were executing their task as mandated by their court order - which we have not even seen,” said Soci. This court order is the latest bone of contention between the municipality and the residents.
Municipal spokesperson Kupido Baron confirmed they used a court order to evict the residents. The residents, however, claim the order was issued in December and was therefore no longer applicable. Residents also claim that destroying their illegally constructed shacks is also illegal and for that they are seeking legal advice. “We are treated like dogs in our country. We do not have a place to stay while our furniture, clothing, food and important documents like IDs and South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) cards which many of us use to receive social grants were destroyed,” said South African National Civic Organisation (SANCO) branch leader Siphiwo Dayimani. According to Dayimani, two of their comrades were arrested and appeared in court last week for public violence after municipal vehicles and one Algoa Bus were pelted with stones and set on fire. “The two are out on bail,” confirmed police spokesperson Warrant Officer Dumile Gwavu.

No water in parts of Motherwell today THE Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality will shut down the water supply to parts of Motherwell today (Wednesday, March 20) to construct a new connection. According to municipal spokesperson, Ku-
pido Baron, it is necessary to construct a new connection to an existing pipe in Addo Road in order to enhance the water supply to the Wells Estate area. “In order to achieve this, it will be neces-
sary to shut down the supply to certain areas,” said Baron. The affected areas will include Ikamvelihle, Motherwell NU1 and Motherwell NU2. The water will be shut from approximately 9am and will be restored once
the work has been completed. It is expected that the work will be completed by 5pm today. Water tankers will be deployed in the areas and consumers are requested not to leave taps open as the water may be restored at any time.
Red Cross tackle TB challenge The South African Red Cross Society, a humanitarian organization whose aim is to alleviate human suffering, is organizing two events as part of its MDR-TB management campaign. The first event, which will be held on March 25, is a clinical road show in Uitenhage, in which the Red Cross team will drive to all clinics that they work with to
promote infection control and prevention in the clinical setups and also in the communities. The second event, which will be held on March 27 in Port Elizabeth, will be an interhigh school debate competition where the Red Cross will get to test the youth’s understanding of TB and HIV/AIDS infection control and prevention.

Keeping the city clean is everybody’s responsibility NCEBA DLADLA RADISSON Blu Hotel employees took to the beach in Summerstrand on Friday 22 February – not to play or build sandcastles but to clean it and get it in pristine condition for the city’s residents and visitors. “This is what we do almost every month, to keep our city clean. We go around the beach, pick up papers, bottles, cigarette buts, plastics and every other thing that does not belong there,” said the hotel’s Executive House Keeper, Monray Smith. The ladies and the gentlemen went
around the beach singing together happily as they were picking up the rubbish. According to Smith, this is actually part of the hotel’s business decision - a campaign to keep spotlessly clean the environment in which they do business. He said all the departments in the hotel were engaged in some form of Social Corporate Investment initiative, adding that they were also assisting members of the community with the painting and beautifying of a creche. “We also assist another with the soup kitchen and the house keeping ladies have formed a choir. They sing and dance in some events,” said Smith.

NEW NMB EXECUTIVE MAYOR
Mixed reactions as mayor takes office NELSON Mandela Bay has a new executive mayor in ANC veteran and Member of Parliament (MP) Oom Ben Fihla (81). NCEBA DLADLA wanted to know what residents feel about the first citizen. ) Tateyi Mcophele (61) of Veeplaas said the ANC is making a mistake. “The man is old. He should be enjoying his pension and not be asked to run around as a mayor. Even if we are not educated, at least we are able to see that this is not taking us anywhere!” ) Elizabeth Nikiwe George (66) also of Veeplaas said as “a committed member of the Communist Party” she still wanted Wayile back, a trade unionist in the helm. About the mayor she said, “Oom Ben Fihla is an old man. We don’t want him. He should be enjoying his time with his family, that’s all.” ) “I did not even know that we have a new mayor. What is wrong with the mayor that we had?”, asked Reagan Biko (20) of Zwide. He added, “81 years for me is too much. I think the old man won’t last. He’ll have a short life span. I expected a much younger person.” ) “People must give the old man a chance. We need his experience and political knowledge. He’s got experience that might bring good changes,” said Masixole Gilayi (22) of Soweto-On-Sea. ) Bulelwa Klaasen (19) of Zwide said, “Oom Ben (Fihla) is the right man for the position. He’s got ernomous experience that will put this metro in good stead. He is a trusted ANC cadre that will not look after his family and friends and forget about the many needy people in the metro like many younger deployees.”
) “Young people only care for themselves. Out of greed many are busy creating big businesses for themselves. I support uTat’ u Fihla for the job. He’s older and wiser and I think he’ll do a better job,” said Fatima Saza (20) of KwaZakhele.
THE new municipal manager, Dr Lindiwe Msengana-Ndlela, said decisive administrative action was needed to get the Nelson Mandela Bay metro back on track. “The engine must be fixed. A new culture change is needed,” she said. Among the shortcomings she discovered during her “listening campaign” the past two weeks is that there is a very low level of accountability and internal controls in the metro’s administration. There will have to be firm action taken against lax officials, since there is at present no control. “The level of accountability must improve. Discipline must be entrenched. The metro is exposing itself legally because there is not sufficient accountability,” she said. The practical implementation of the Batho Pele principles must be applied to ensure that there was service delivery. Some of the other
THE stiff sentences meted out to child rapists Luzuko Bheji, Wilmount Kudu and Ricardo Lukwe are just the example of how the South African Police Service (SAPS) is serious about fighting a successful battle against crime, especially against women and children, said police spokesperson Lt Col Sibongile Soci. According to Soci, crimes against women and children are a priority in South Africa, every day of the year, and not only during the 16 Days of Activism against Women and child abuse. She said the SAPS Family Violence, Child Protection and Sexual Offences (FCS) Unit would continue to tackle this inexcusable behaviour by cowardly men who abuse women and young girls. From 1 January 2013 to 15 March 2013 the unit secured three life sentences with more than 365 years’ imprisonment of criminals who committed crimes such as rape and abuse against wom-

issues she became aware of during her two weeks “listening campaign”, were that the administration took too long to implement council decisions. She said this must be put a stop to. Filling the many vacancies was one of Msengana-Ndlela’s priorities. According to her the council had directed as early as February that those positions must be filled and her administration was in the process of implementing this decision. While Msengana-Ndlela yesterday gave the assurance that the Splash festival would take place and that the metro would support it, she added that poor planning had lead to the tender for the festival being awarded so late. There was no sense of urgency among officials. “The event could have been coordinated better. There should be better planning,” she said. Msengana-Ndlela has committed herself to interact on a regular basis with the media and other interested parties to improve communication and to keep residents abreast of what is happening in the metro.

en, children and the elderly. Bheji (24) received life sentence imprisonment for the rape of a 13-year old girl in Jeffreys Bay. According to the police report, Bheji attacked the young girl at knife-point, grabbed her cellphone and raped her on 31 October 2010. Kudu (42) of Thornhill raped at knife-point a 15-year old girl who was sleeping alone at her home. Kudu, who was known to the victim, threatened to kill her if she told anyone. Lukwe (31) attacked a disabled 17-year old girl, also at knife point, and raped her at an old house at Rooidraai in Hankey on 14 February 2011. Soci explained that these convictions were as a result of thorough investigations by their detectives who had to gather relevant evidence to successfully link perpetrators to the crimes. “The emphasis here is not the numerics but the difficult circumstances under which these were achieved,” said Acting Eastern Cape Provincial Commissioner Major General Chris Ntantiso.

Nelson Mandela Bay Municipal Councillor Babalwa Lobishe, Portfolio Chairperson for Recreational Services, encourages the community to take part in their local programme as education remains one of the main priorities in government’s efforts to eradicate inequality, poverty and unemployment. “We have planned a fun-filled week for the children of our city but the planning process will only bear fruit when young people participate and the programme makes an impact in their lives.

Grade R class built for Walmer Primary School NCEBA DLADLA WALMER Primary School became the proud recipients of the Dimension Data, Data Flo and Touch Africa Corporate Social Investment (CSI) to the tune of over R600 000 which they used to build new accommodation for their overflowing Grade R Class. Dimension Data’s Regional Manager, IT Sourcing, Collins Smith said they were proud to have made a difference in the lives of poor communities in their quest for good education and health as part of their CSI projects. According to Smith, Dimension Data gave R450 000 in a period of over two years, while Data Flo contributed the sum of R150 000 with more coming from Touch Africa. Smith said they made this contribution because they believed education was the key to the future. He pleaded with the school and members of the community to treasure and
protect the school and its equipment. School principal Zukiswa Maku was overjoyed with what she called an investment in their children and future generations. The sponsors, said Maku, did not only construct the building, they also furnished it as well. “Dimension Data and Touch Africa, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for ploughing back into the poor community. You have touched people from very poor backgrounds. This is an investment that will not benefit teachers, but the future generations of Walmer township,” said Maku. “I also want to thank the sponsors for this which is a gift to the department of education as well,” said Department of Education Circuit Inspector Julia Sauer, adding that her department was aware of the need for Grade R space in many of the township schools. Sauer said such partnerships with big business can benefit communities from poor back-

Early detection is key in fight against cancer NCEBA DLADLA OVER 800 children are diagnosed with Cancer each year in South Africa, but the number could be much higher with many not being diagnosed. “The number is definitely more than 800,” said Dora Nginza Hospital’s Dr. Florentina Ureche. According to Dr. Ureche, the figure could be up to 1600 owing to late detection of cancer in the country. This makes cancer the second biggest cause of death in children between the ages of 0-14 years in the country. “Leukaemia is the most common, representing over 24% of newly diagnosed cases followed by solid tumours,” said Ureche. It is not doom and gloom, however. Speaking to PE Express Indaba recently, Ureche said big strides have been taken in the Paediatric Oncology-Haemotology clinic, which serves as the referral and support centre at the Dora Nginza Hospital, since the involvement of the CHOC Foundation at the hospital. CHOC opened the new paediatric oncology ward and outpatients clinic in June last year. “This has made a significant contribution in the fight against cancer as early diagnosis and treatment can reduce the mortality rate,” said Ureche. The ward received R125 000 in funding from Discovery and Algoa FM to assist its op-
erations early this year. “Our oncology service is a highly specialised tertiary service, and it is resource intensive due to complicated work and treatment modalities. “We at this hospital know that caring for children with cancer and their families require an emotional labour which involves dedication and enthusiasm, passion and compassion,” said Ureche.

Mustangs keep their unbeaten record in SAFA ABSA League SELBY MADIKANE AS things stand Mustangs FC are set to take the honours in the SAFA Nelson Mandela Bay ABSA Womens League following their unbeaten record. Mustangs managed to bang in nine goals after walloping Warriors 8-0 and earning a 1-0 hard-fought victory over
Park United. Fans were kept on their feet when Park United were held to a 1-1 draw by the second–placed Nelson Mandela Bay Metropolitan University’s Madibaz. Black Vultures snatched a 1-0 hard win from Sophakama. Warriors redeemed themselves when they convincingly overcame Tomorrow Stars 3-0.
This is the view of former sports activist and administrator Andrew Jordaan. Former professional footballer and cricketplayer Jordaan, who is the brother of former South Africa 2010 Soccer World Cup CEO Danny Jordaan, bemoaned the dearth of sporting codes like swimming, cricket, athletics, hockey and netball in Nelson Mandela Bay townships since the advent of democracy. “We used to play till late in our townships; that is no longer happening. Our children are engaged in self-destructive things because they have nothing positive to do,” said Jordaan. According to Jordaan, sports structures and administrators need to come forward and tell what it is that they are doing to take sports
forward. And if they lack anything, they should say so in order to get assistance. He said the region needs partnerships to resolve whatever problems are being faced as doing it in silos does not seem to bring the desired results. “A sports indaba is necessary for us as boxing licensees as well to help us put our house in order,” said Boxing South Africa (BSA) Nelson Mandela Bay Service Provider Mthunzi Mapitiza. Mapitiza said he believed boxing licensees know exactly what needs to be done to put boxing back on the map - but must find a purpose and desire to do it. “Boxing had a successful boxing indaba in December last year where very important issues were raised. People showed interest, we can’t leave it hanging. I believe we need another one to ensure we take those issues forward,” said Mwelase Mboxela who is the Department of Sports, Recreation, Arts and Culture Assistant Manager in Nelson Mandela Bay.

NEBFA Nozenza Easter Tourney Launch SELBY MADIKANE NEW BRIGHTON Football Association (NEBFA) held a glittering function to launch its Nozenza Easter Tournament at the New Brighton Oval Stadium boardroom on March 13. Distinguished guests who graced the function were SAFA Eastern Cape Secretary Isaac Klaas, SAFA Nelson Mandela Bay President Mzimkhulu Fina with some of his executive committee members, Dr Dyk Koester, Ward 15 Cllr Kholisile Frans, Bay Stars Manager Nicholas Myataza and Xhanti Lamani. Adressing the audience President Fina
appealed to NEBFA affiliates to work together in developing grassroots soccer. Fina also urged sponsors to follow Dr Koester’s example to invest in sport, and he praised Dr Koester for his input towards the development of the sport of the less fortunate people. Dr Koester stated that his main objective was to see the youth taking part in sport. NEBFA received a R15 000 cheque for the Nozenza Easter Tournament prizes. The tournament will commence on March 28 and will end on April 1. It will kick-off with round-robin matches and finish with a knock out. The 24 teams were divided into eight groups.

Aces surprise the critics SELBY MADIKANE REAL Aces produced a sterling performance despite their 3-1 defeat to the gutsy Hotspurs in their SAFA Nelson Mandela Bay SAB Regional League clash at Motherwell NU 9 Stadium last Saturday. Despite being rated as underdogs, Aces surprised the soccer critics when they looked well-polished. Aces took the game to Spurs and they opened their account when Lukhanyo Sompondo scored the first goal of the game.
The hosting side looked good in all departments but in the last stages of the game Aces’ concentration lapsed – for which they paid the price. Spurs scored three quick goals courtesy of Vernon Campher, Stephen Samuels and a penalty taken by Dominic Francis. Other SAFA Nelson Mandela Bay SAB Regional League results: * Royal Bucs 0-6 Lion City * Real City 1-1 Callies * Camper United 3-0 Crystal Palace * Morning Stars 3-2 Despatch Pioneers * Real City 2-0 Royal Bucs
