ENSIONS ran high in Uitenhage’s Tiryville informal settlement yesterday as over 300 residents opposed the demolition of their shacks.
The Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality obtained a court order in May last year to demolish their shacks built illegally on the Tiryville land. They had a six month grace period to move from
the land voluntarily. The Education Department plans to build a school on the land. Police was sent to accompany the sheriff of the court, Pieter Le Roux, and municipal workers to carry out the court order yesterday morning. About 200 Tiryville residents waited with burning tyres for the police and municipal workers at the bridge in front of their homes. Police, in three Njala vehicles, fired rubber bullets and stun grenades. According to police
spokesperson w.o. Basil Seekoei, one protester was arrested. At this time the 50 municipal workers refused to continue with the eviction in fear of the protesters and Le Roux had to find more workers to continue with the demolition. Before the situation reached boiling point, local leaders asked for a last grace period. They were given two hours to demolish the shacks on their own. About half the residents then started demol-

ishing their shacks. Two hours later the police and municipal workers moved in and homes were demolished one after the other. Many stood looking on helplessly as their homes of the past three years were taken apart. Accommodation has been arranged for a hundred people in a church hall and a local preschool. W.o. Seekoei confirmed that the police will monitor the situation throughout the night.

Premier Masualle urges schools to improve NCEBA DLADLA EASTERN Cape Premier Phumulo Masualle and members of his Provincial Executive Committee (PEC) visited Nelson Mandela Bay last week as part of their investigation into school readiness for the 2015 academic year.

The visit was part of the premier’s mandate to ensure that learning and teaching was actually taking place in the schools of the EC province that is still bogged down by poor matric results. Though the EC matric results improved from 64.9 per cent in 2013 to 65.4% last year, the fact that the province was still hovering at the bottom, was still a cause for serious concern. The premier was accompanied, among others, by the MEC for Human Settlements, Helen Sauls-August, on a visit to the metro’s Northern Areas and township schools that did not do well in matric last year. Some of those schools, like Lwandlekazi High and Thamsanqa High in New Brighton
and Kwazakhele townships respectively, had less than a 30% matric pass rate last year. They also visited Gelvandale Secondary and Chapman High Schools in the Northern Areas which had a relatively good matric pass rate of 72.7% and 92.2% respectively. This is despite being situated in an area that was infested with gangsterism, alcohol and drugs abuse. Lwandlekazi High School used to be plagued by overcrowding, but the school is currently faced with a shortage of teachers, and as a result, the lowest enrolment for many years, said government spokesperson Nomfanelo Kota. “The premier advised that something be done to improve the situation at the school. It was small and not viable,” said Kota, adding that at the time of the premier’s visit there were only 80 learners waiting to be registered. “The stakeholders of the school including the education department officials, must decide the future of the school. The school needs a turnaround strategy, otherwise, it is on a gradual decline,” said Premier Masualle. MEC Sauls-August visited her alma mater,
John Walton Secondary School in Uitenhage. The MEC congratulated the school on its 64.7% matric pass but bemoaned the constant break-ins and vandalism that the school suffered from in the recent past. “I adopted this school three years ago. So, I’d like to ensure that there is learning and teaching taking place,” said Sauls-August as she was walking around the school with the principal and School Governing Body (SGB) Chairperson. At Thubelihle and Thamsanqa High School there were many problems that needed urgent attention, said Sauls-August. The schools had a mere 14.9% and 22.5% matric pass rates respectively. “Thamsanqa High School had a problem with Maths and Physical Science. They took a decision that because they don’t have a Science teacher they were going to discard the subject. We said no. That is not the way to go. We’ll make a plan to provide them with the teachers,” the MEC said. She added that the school however, had a responsibility to have more registered learners in their enrolment.
Khumbulani High School’s matrics a shining example NCEBA DLADLA THREE Khumbulani High School learners who made the school proud by getting four distinctions in Physical Science, Accounting, Business Studies and isiXhosa in their matric exams last year were toasted by the School Management Team (SMT) last week. According to deputy principal Mnoneleli Nohaji, Amkela Tyumre (17), Ayanda Ntlangu (18) and Tshepo Tapolisi (17) are the pride of this township school currently based at the old Teacher’s Centre in the Port Elizabeth city centre. “Our school improved to achieve a 72% pass rate from the 57% of 2013. We (the teachers) worked hard, but we must say that we had a group of dedicated learners who committed themselves to the strategy we utilised as the school,” a proud Nohaji said. Explaining, Nohaji said teachers made use of the Department of Education’s studyguides of various subjects, they offered extra classes and continually motivated learners to work hard and aim high. Business Studies teacher Nopasika Sonti has a 100% pass rate. She attributed it to her love for the subject and her learners. Head of Science Department Dumile Mali said that Khumbulani High had its fair share of challenges. It was a no-fee school. It registered learners from across the Port Elizabeth townships who mainly come from disadvantaged backgrounds. “But that has not deterred our learners from wanting to become the best,” Mali said. Tapolisi has enrolled at Rhodes Universi-
ty to study Pharmacy while Tyumre and Ntlangu will be joining Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University (NMMU) to study towards an Accounting Diploma (towards Charted Accountancy) and an Economics Diploma respectively. “We’d like to thank the teachers for encouraging us to work hard,” said Tyumre while both Tapolisi and Ntlangu told the current learners to try to emulate what they have done and to work hard. Commerce HOD Ayanda Mali also praised their learners for showing that despite the negativity associated with many township schools, their teachers were at least, still committed to their calling of teaching. “Our enrolment numbers are growing. We also want to thank parents for showing confidence in our school by bringing their children to the school,” he said.

Safety schools programme started in earnest in PE Townships NCEBA DLADLA MEMBERS of the South African Police Service (SAPS) last week started conducting searches in township schools to ensure safer schools. After consultation with the School Governing Body and the school principal, Motherwell Cluster Police held a search at Motherwell High School last week Friday. According to police spokesperson Warrant Officer Dumile Gwavu the operation took place from 8am to 10am. “The main aim of the search was to ensure the safety of both the learners and teachers on the school premises,” said Gwavu. Police recovered one light bulb, loose cigarettes, boxes of matches and about twenty cellular phones from the learners. All those items were handed to the principal and would be handed back to the students only at the end of the year. Gwavu said this was due to the school policy which did not
allow learners to carry cellular phones (without permission) on the school’s premises. In New Brighton’s Thembelihle High School, members of the SAPS recovered an okapi knife while Kamvelihle police recovered loose cigarettes, a gold chain, five boxes of matches and one okapi knife at James Jolobe Secondary School. According to Gwavu, school principals, teachers and learners commended police for the searches. They were very happy with the operation, he said. “As this is only the opening of schools, we’ll continue with these searches throughout the year to ensure that everybody is safe in the school premises. “This operation is in conjunction with the Safer School Program that the SAPS and the Department of Education are embarking on,” said Gwavu. Learners were advised not to carry weapons when attending school for their and everybody else’s safety inside the school premises.

Special Provincial Official funeral for Rev. Xundu NCEBA DLADLA THE funeral of former anti-apartheid activist and renowned religious leader Reverend Mcebisi Xundu (80) will be held at Nangoza Jebe in New Brighton tomorrow (Thursday, January 29). President Jacob Zuma has designated the funeral of Rev. Xundu, who was a liberation struggle veteran, as a Special Provincial Official Funeral. Rev Xundu died of pneumonia at the Mercantile hospital on Wednesday last week. The honour of a Special Provincial Official Funeral is reserved for distinguished South African citizens who have made a meaningful contribution to the country. The Provincial Official Memorial Service for Rev Mcebisi Xundu took place on Tuesday at
the Nongoza Jebe hall. As is the standard procedure for all Official State Funerals of the Republic, the State President has authorized that the National Flag be flown at half-mast at every flag station on Thursday, 29 January 2015, the day of the funeral. A short service will be held at his home in Cotswold, Port Elizabeth. Messages of support have been coming from different corners of the country with Eastern Cape Premier Premier Phumulo Masualle, the South African Communist Party (SACP) in the Eastern Cape and Interdenominational African Ministers Association of South Africa (IDAMASA) joining millions of peace loving people in mourning his passing. “On behalf of government, I want to extend words of condolences to the Xundu family, relatives and friends on the passing of a father, husband and grandfather who dedicated his whole
life to the struggle for a non-racial, non-sexist, equal and just South Africa,” said Masualle. Rev Xundu was in the forefront of the struggle for liberation in the 1980s and 1990s in Port Elizabeth and spent a greater part of his life serving in the parishes in KwaZulu Natal. He was also a former National Interfaith Leaders Council (NILC) president, Council of Churches’ Provincial leader and IDAMASA leader. IDAMASA President Bishop Sandile Jika said that Rev Xundu was an Anglican priest for 41 years of his life and that he never broughtthe name of the church into disrepute. “He followed his name Mcebisi, which means the adviser - since his days in the ANC Youth League. He helped many homeless people get houses through Umzingisi Trust and the church in Nelson Mandela Bay benefited immensely from his wisdom and integrity,” said Bishop Jika.

Baywest Mall development creates 2 500 jobs EASTERN Cape residents can get their ice skates ready, as the developers of the Eastern Cape’s largest entertainment and retail centre, the R1.7-billion Baywest Mall in Port Elizabeth, have announced they are on track to open their doors in mid-April. Aside from boasting the province’s only ice rink, the mall will also bring with it the creation of up to 2 500 permanent jobs, while development to the tune of R500-million rolls out around the centre, say the developers. Speaking about the economic impact of the mall on the region, Baywest MD Gavin Blows said an average of 10 permanent jobs would be created to staff the mall’s 250 retail outlets. On top of this, staff would be needed for security and cleaning services at the 90 000m² (gross leasable area/GLA) centre – contracts which would be advertised in the coming Workers carefully lay the piping which forms the weeks, he said. the mall’s R100million Fun Factory wing. “Because Baywest Mall is the catalyst to the entire Baywest City development, development will continue around the mall once it hails from Stellenbosch, and centre manager opens in April,” Blows explained. “We already Sonja de Necker, who hails from Nelson Manhave R500 million worth of development lined dela Bay. up for this year, which includes office blocks Tenants, such as Shoprite-Checkers, have meanwhile begun the hunt for employees to and a motor showroom.” Blows said the mall’s 30-strong centre manage- staff their Baywest outlets with advertisement team had been recruited and included op- ments in the local media and CV collection erations manager Andre van Niekerk, who points at their Port Elizabeth stores.
KwaNobuhle Police make big arrests to reduce serious and violent crimes NCEBA DLADLA KWANOBUHLE police detectives arrested two suspects, a male (29) and a female (31), in connection with drugs and the illegal possession and ownership of unlicensed firearms last Thursday. According to police spokesperson Warrant Officer Basil Seekoei, the arrests gave the South African Police Service (SAPS)’s fight against serious and violent crime in this Uitenhage township a major boost. Explaining, W/O Seekoei said police received a warrant from the Uitenhage Magistrates Court to search a house in Qilo Street Kwanobuhle last Wednesday. Upon searching the house, members seized two 9mm Star fire-arms with seven rounds of ammunition and 45 Mandrax tablets to the value of R3 000. The fire-arms’ serial numbers were filed-off and the firearms will be sent for ballistics testing to determine whether they were used in committing other crimes. Seekoei said the suspects were expected to appear in the KwaNobuhle Magistrates Court on charges of the possession of an illegal fire-arm and possession of mandrax. . In an unrelated case Kamesh Crime Prevention members arrested a 23 -yearold male suspect on a charge of dealing in mandrax to the value of R5 000. According to Seekoei, Police members obtained a search warrant and seized 106 mandrax tablets in a house in Kingfisher Street, Rosedale, Uitenhage last Wednes-
day, at about 2pm. In addition, on Wednesday, five suspects aged between 23 and 40 years were nabbed in the Special Operation for drug related charges. The five were expected to appear in court on charges of dealing in mandrax and possession of tik and dagga.

“We have been inundated with requests for work at the mall,” said Blows. “Our community liaison officer has already received more than 500 CVs for our database. We will pass the database on to our tenants as they begin their search for staff.” With major anchor tenants including Woolworths, Game, Shoprite-Checkers, Edgars and
NK
Pick n Pay, Blows said the centre’s full tenant list would be revealed in the weeks leading up to the April opening. “We have some exciting stores which will be a first for the region. Added to this are our larger anchor tenants who will bring with them catalogues which have until now been only offered in larger centres,” he said. Blows said a key attraction at the mall was its R100-million Fun Factory wing featuring the province’s only ice rink, allowing for the formation of ice hockey leagues and school sports teams. Eight Ster-Kinekor cinemas, restaurants, a ten-pin bowling alley and a state-of-theart games arcade would also form part of the Fun Factory, he said. Also included in Phase 1 of the Baywest City development is a gym, a private school and hospital, 100 000m² of office and commercial tenants and about 2 000 housing opportunities. Phase 2 will add another 2 000 housing opportunities, a light industrial park and value retail developments. “Baywest City is a long-term investment in the region,” said Blows. “It’s going to change the face of the city and put the Bay on the leisure and corporate tourism map, growing much the same way as Century City in Cape Town has grown around Canal Walk shopping centre.” – REPORTER

First phase of Fairview sports field underway LASHEIGH LUCAS THE Fairview Sports and Family Centre’s first phase of development has commenced and is set to be completed in March this year. The phase to be completed includes clearing the site of alien vegetation, levelling the site, grassing, fencing and the installation of certain engineering services. The cost for the first phase is estimated to be around R8.5 million. The sports and family centre which is one of the legacy projects emanating from the land restitution programme implemented by PELRHA, was identified at the town-planning stage, as the greater Fairview area had no provision for sport and recreation facilities. There are 16 hectares of land provided for sport and recreation purposes in Fairview. Since PELRHA encountered several challenges with respect to settling the land claims, the social and community development projects were kept on the back burner. “The planning work for the sports field started two years ago,” said Clive Felix of PELRHA. One of PELRHA’s secondary mandates is of a social and community development nature. This mandate is funded from funds that PELRHA generated through creating a business node
along the William Moffett Expressway and selling this land in a public tender process. “When the settlement was negotiated with the State, this opportunity was identified. The State agreed that any funds generated through this means be used to offset any escalating costs on the Fairview and Salisbury Park developments and that the balance of the funds be used to provide social infrastructure and to initiate other community development projects,” said Felix The facility will have an indoor sports and community centre with sports fields catering for team sports. The concept designs for the sports and community centre have been done and once the working drawings are completed and the plans have municipal approval, it will go out to tender in the next two to three months. “Depending on the costs, the entire centre may be built. Should the costs be too high, the centre will be built in phases. The Fairview Sports Trust will then have to raise sponsorships to complete the project,” said Felix. The facility will be available primarily for the community and the schools in the wider Fairview area. It will also be available to sporting codes throughout Port Elizabeth. “The Trust is busy developing a usage policy and wants to ensure that the facility will be affordable for all,” said Felix.

Airport joins fish farm saga LIZEKA TANDWA
CONCERNS over the impact of the controversial proposed fish farm on the approach and take-off of airplanes from the Port Elizabeth airport were aired on Monday.

Reduce, reuse, recycle with The Waste Takers LIZEKA TANDWA THERE is a new business in the Northern suburbs and the owner says this will be an opportunity for the residents in the impoverished areas of the community to gain income by simply collecting waste within their area. Mary Phillips started her waste management business in Windvogel, The Waste Takers, less than two years ago with a plan to help her community become self-sustaining. Phillips said through her waste recycling business, she will be able to empower her community but also ensure a greener environment by encouraging her community to maintain cleaner suburbs. “This is a simple way to make money. One can collect anything from paper, cardboard, newspapers, magazines, glass, plastic bottles and other plastics. When they have collected enough kilograms of waste, they bring it to me and I in turn reward
them with hard cash,” she said. Phillips said depending on the weight of the waste, a person can earn enough money for a night’s meal for them and their family. “There are currently people in the Northern areas who collect waste but they have to travel kilometres to other areas to be rewarded. This business is the first of its kind in the area and I want people to know that they don’t have to travel for hours with heavy loads. They can just drop them on my doorstep,” she said. Phillips said her objective in starting the business was to reduce, reuse, recycle and upscale all waste. Phillips, who is also helping the community by teaching children the value of waste, said she also called on big businesses to sponsor her various projects. For more information on The Waste Takers contact Phillips on 082 651 9417 or visit The Waste Takers at 3 Bethelsdorp Road, Windvogel.
This was during a public hearing for stakeholders by the Department of Environmental Affairs (DEA) which was held to discuss the issue of the location of Algoa Bay Sea Based Aquaculture Development Zone (fish farm) right on the doorstep of Nelson Mandela Bay’s prime tourist beaches. Over 70 stakeholders, including the Airports Company of SA (ACSA) attended the hearing. Many stakeholders who are objecting to the development took the floor to address their concerns of the impending fish farm. Shirley Parker-Nance a marine biologist from Pro-Dive who is heading the “Stop PE Fish Farm” campaign, said the Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (DAFF) together with DEA agreed to send the Responses to the Appeals to the relevant stakeholders by Wednesday, January 28. The stakeholders would then be able to respond within 30 days with objections. Parker-Nance said the location and impact were questioned by the different environmentalists and stakeholders involved and DAFF and DEA made a commitment to consider their input. Parker-Nance said this was a very positive step by the DEA appeals committee and it was
welcomed. “The EIA clearly states that this was not the right location for the fish farm and they need to be accountable for that. This clearly will have a negative impact on many of the city’s businesses. Airports Company South Africa (ACSA) also coming into the play supporting the petition will certainly help us in our campaign.” According to Parker-Nance, ACSA have recently joined the stakeholders from the Nelson Mandela Bay objecting to the DEA authorised project. They are concerned about the increase in the number of birds the development will attract near the Port Elizabeth Airports landing strip. At time of PE Express going to print on Monday, representatives of ACSA and the DEA were in discussions over the issue. According to the EIA for the Algoa Bay Sea Based Aquaculture Development Zone, by the Aquaculture Animal Health and Environmental Interactions within the Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (DAFF), four sites were considered for the project with three sites in Algoa Bay and one site in St Francis Bay. Of the three sites in Algoa Bay, the site that ranked most favourably from an industry perspective (Algoa 1, owing to its proximity to PE Harbour), scored poorly in respect of potential conflicts with other users, mainly the commercial squid fishing and shipping. DAFF said the Algoa 2 and 3 have been considered less favourable from an industry perspective but potential for conflict with other users is much lower.

Breakfast initiative feeds hungry minds LAST week the academic year kicked off in the Eastern Cape, and while most learners were excited about the new school year, the reality is that some have to go to school hungry. Research has shown that cognitive development is difficult when learning on an empty stomach. With one in five South African children going to school hungry, the Department of Basic Education is now working with local food manufacturer, Kellogg’s, on the Kellogg’s Breakfast for Better Days™ Initiative to ensure learners start the school day with a full tummy. The national programme was piloted in 2014 and served breakfasts to 25 000 learners every school day: a total of five million over the course of the year. By year end, school principals in participating schools re-
ported increased attendance, better concentration, a decrease in aggressive behaviour and improved pass rates linked to learners starting their days with full tummies. “South Africa’s future is in the hands of today’s children, many of whom are compromised by hunger,” says Jack Kruger, Kellogg’s Marketing Category Manager. “The foundation phase is where formal learning begins, and if we can assist educators by providing children with the energy they require to learn, concentrate, socialise and make the best of these critical years, we know we are doing something extremely valuable for our country.” Partnering with Kellogg’s again is FoodBank South Africa, who will distribute the food. FoodBank South
Africa is the country’s largest food banking network and Kellogg’s international partner in the food company’s global Breakfast for Better Days™ Initiative. “The input from schools about the positive changes they have seen in the classroom and on the playground is beyond gratifying, and has strengthened Kellogg’s resolve to be a partner to education in South Africa in the way it is best equipped to do so: by providing nutrient-rich breakfasts to young learners,” added Kruger. Schools in the Nelson Mandela Bay area that participate in the Breakfast for Better Days Initiative include Adolph Schauder Primary, Coega Primary, Helenvale Primary, Soweto on Sea Primary and Swartkops Primary. – REPORTER

THE year 2014 must have been a year of greatness for Anelisa Matebese (24) of Khayelitsha in Uitenhage. The Love Life Groundbreaker has used the year to speak her mind to both young and old on issues that affect communities and especially young women. Anelisa uses the power of radio to speak to a larger audience, thanks to KwaNobuhle Radio L2K to which ICASA awarded a licence. As one of the Radio L2K Talkshow “Touchbase Loo nt’iyiyo” hosts on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 10:30am to 11:30 am, Anelisa challenges members of the community to the core – to make them talk. “Through this medium, KwaNobuhle members of the community are able to discuss pertinent issues that affect them,” she said. According to Anelisa, one of the issues that affect many people, both men and women in KwaNobuhle townships, and which the majority do not want to talk about, is Gender-Based Violence (GBV). “Gender-Based Violence is still a big problem in our communities. But it is still treated as taboo in this modern-day South Africa,” said Anelisa. She said part of what she does on a daily basis
Anelisa Matebese.

as a member of the Groundbreakers, is to talk to communities, youth groups and scholars about sex and sexuality, GBV, domestic violence, physical, sexual and financial abuse awareness and prevention. “GBV is a curse that must be exposed and fought against – to end it altogether,” said Anelisa, adding that they provide counselling sessions by professionals for victims of abuse and GBV. Working with stakeholders like the White Door of Hope, Phaphani Rape Crisis and Amadoda Okwenene has also opened Anelisa’s eyes to the intricacies of life and what must be done to make this a better world for everyone. “I get invited a lot to speak to people about issues and always like to make a difference in people’s lives.” The last-born of Nobantu and Thobile Matebese’s three children, Anelisa passed matric at Gamble Street High before she studied Marketing Management at MSC College. She is hoping to study media in the near future.
SnazB asks dreamers: Why not now? For the (opportune) time is now! NCEBA DLADLA YOUNG Nelson Mandela Bay youth who have ideas but lack the financial means to start something positive, should brace themselves for something great that will be happening in the not-too-distant future. Radio and television personality Sinalo Bam is finalising production of a television programme entitled: “Why Not Now?” which will be flighted on local community television station, BayTV, Channel 260 on DStv. The programme is the brainchild of former De Aar Community Radio, Ulwazi FM, presenter Sinalo, otherwise known as SnazB in showbusiness. It is aimed at giving a boost to those young people sitting at home doing nothing despite having untold possibilities. “I am going to help people reach Sinalo “SnazB” their goals. Whether it is personal PHOTO:SUPPLIED or community-related goals. “Using BayTV resources, I’ll be going out with them, to seek solutions to their problems,” an enthusiastic Sinalo said.
According to SnazB, the programme which she herself will produce and host, will be presented in the format of Zola 7, an SABC 1 programme which helped people achieve their goals. It is expected to start on 22 February at a time slot that still has to be decided. “People out there have ideas, good ideas! But they don’t know where to go and whom to contact to help them tap into that potential life-changing experience. “With the help of caring individuals and big business we’ll provide those who want to fly with wings,” said Sinalo. She is currently in talks with the municipality and other companies to find ways in which they could partner in this life-changing community development programme. Sinalo, who is the daughter of the late former South African welterweight boxing champion Linda “Black Mamba” Nondzaba and mom Ntombomzi, believes nothing is impossible. Those with enquiries, as well as interBam. ested parties and companies who share her dream should contact Sinalo on cell. 062 295 0344 or email: whynotnowbaytv@gmail.com. People can also contact her on her Facebook Page: Whynotnow.
Nelson Mandela Bay visual artists invited to submit works for arts showcase NCEBA DLADLA BOTH up-and-coming and experienced visual artists in Nelson Mandela Bay are invited to showcase their work at the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan Art Museum during the annual arts exhibition from April 2 to May 3. “We are looking for visual artists ranging in ages from 18 or older who are residing in the metro and are eager to showcase their work during the Who’s Who and What’s New Exhibition,” said the Museum’s exhibition curator, Emma O’ Brien. According to O’ Brien, this annual exhibition is a platform for individual visual artists and groups who are still amateurs and students as well as established professionals to show their work.
According to O’ Brien, in the previous exhibitions they have had a nice mixture of both experienced and inexperienced artists submitting work. This included gogos who are involved in visual arts for the love of it. Those who lack financial means should not despair, according to O’ Brien. She said artists who lack the financial resources to mount and frame their works must apply to the art museum for assistance before February 23. Entry forms are available at the reception desk of the Art Museum. “People can fill the entry forms in and deliver them at the Art Museum. Alternatively, people can visit our website at: www.artmuseum.co.za or use our Facebook Page for more details,” said O’Brien.

based Mofu was upbeat about SANABO taking this workshop to the Eastern Cape, the Mecca of boxing. Without saying much, Mofu said this very important workshop would be divided into plenary sessions looking into the administration of the sport, medical issues, ethics as well as its marketing. “From this workshop, we are hoping all our provincial secretaries would be fired up in their ad-
ministration of this sport,” said Mofu.
