Sisulu takes charge of metro’s human settlements LIZEKA TANDWA

A

LLEGATIONS of corruption, mismanagement and poor workmanship in the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality’s human settlements department have been confirmed by a municipal spokesperson as key challenges for this beleagured department.

This comes after the minister for Human Settlements, Lindiwe Sisulu, announced that national government would be taking over the metro’s human settlements function with an injection of R4.6 billion rand over the next four years to fast-track housing delivery.

Spokesperson for the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality, Mthubanzi Mniki, said key challenges in their department of human settlements included late payment of contractors due to the late transfer of funding; failure of people to formally report allegations of corruption in housing delivery; poor workmanship by contractors; the letting of RDP houses to businesses; the selling of RDP houses and invasion of land.

Xolani Xundu, spokesperson for the Department of Human Settlements, said the housing backlog stands at 72 411, comprising 32.3% informal settlements and 67.7% backyard shacks. In the 2011 Census, the figure was 47 442.

The municipality has had a delivery rate of about 2 000 per financial year.

Xundu said he wanted to dispel rumours that the national department had lost faith in the municipality and said that they were rather working in tandem with the municipality to accelerate the delivery process.

However, according to a report by the The Herald newspaper on Monday, the intervention was aimed at cracking down on corruption by municipal and government officials that has crippled the metro’s human settlements department.

Afrika mamas paint the Bay red Afrika Mamas from all over the country who selflessly make a difference in the lives of the needy and poor, were treated to a stay in Nelson Mandela Bay as part of the Clover Mama Afrika Smarties Week. During the three days’ workshop the mamas also had skills training such as mosaic tiling of furniture, flower arranging and baking in line with this year’s theme “Pride and Joy”.

MK soldier Poto’s remains finally laid to rest in PE NCEBA DLADLA THE Minister of Justice and Correctional Services, Advocate Michael Masutha, delivered the keynote address at the reburial service of former Umkhonto Wesizwe (MK) soldier, Thamsanqa Poto at St Stephen’s Anglican Church Hall, in New Brighton, Port Elizabeth on Saturday 6 June 2015.

Poto’s mortal remains were exhumed and officially handed over to members of his family in Port Elizabeth by the Department of Justice and Constitutional Development on Friday, 29 May 2015 as part of implementing the recommendations of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC).

Poto went into exile during the time of the apartheid regime and underwent military training as an Umkhonto WeSizwe cadre.

He was shot dead along with other comrades by members of the security forces near Alldays in Limpopo Province on 3 August 1988 and was buried as an unidentified pauper at Tshikota Cemetery in Louis Trichard.

According to the Department of Justice and Constitutional Development spokesperson, Kgomotso Makinta, Poto’s remains were recovered by the Missing Persons Task Team (MPTT) and identified through DNA testing.

The Eastern Cape Arts and Culture department has set aside R900 000 for the repatriation of the remains of fallen heroes who are buried in other parts of the country and abroad.

Poto was finally laid to rest at his New Brighton home cemetery this past Saturday.

The Department of Justice and Constitutional Development expressed its condolences and extended a message of solidarity to the bereaved families.

“May all the affected families as well as hundreds of others in similar circumstances get solace from the fact that their struggle was not in vain.

“Their quest for democracy has been realised. May their souls rest in everlasting peace,” said Chief Operations Officer of the Department, Dr Khotso De Wee during the handing over-ceremony of Poto’s remains.

Detour in Buffelsfontein Road REPORTER A SECTION of Buffelsfontein Road will be closed off and motorists rerouted from this week with the start of the second phase of the the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality’s Walmer/Gqebera Stormwater Detention Pond project.

The first phase of the project, aimed at addressing the problem of flooding or “ponding” after heavy rain, entailed the construction of stormwater channels at the airport and across Alister Miller Drive and Victoria Park Drive.

The second phase of the project commenced on Monday this week. It will see a stormwater channel constructed across Buffelsfontein Road between 11th and 12th Avenues, thereby rerouting stormwater both into the sea via the Forest Hill bridge

channel, as well as into the Baakens River.

This phase of the project will last between four and six weeks.

During this time, a section of the Buffelsfontein Road will be closed off and a temporary detour road has been made.

Motorists using this stretch of the road are urged to practise caution during the project period as it is a construction site, with heavy duty vehicles and material being used.

According to Roland Williams, Director: Communications Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality, the value of this phase of the project is approximately R9 million.

“Through this project, the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality has created 30 jobs. Fifty percent of the value of the work has been outsourced to SMEs,” Williams stated.

State opens drug rehab REPORTER

THE long awaited and much called

for state-run in-patient drug treatment centre for young people in the Eastern Cape will open in Nelson Mandela Bay in July.

This week the MEC for Social Development, Nancy Sihlwayi, was part of a delegation that embarked on a roadshow in the Northern Suburbs to promote the services of the treatment centre as this area has been identified as a particularly high risk area for substance abuse according to STATS SA. The facility, named the Ernest Malgas Treatment centre, will be situated in New Brighton, hosting 38 children between 13 and 18 years for a residential treatment period of 9 weeks, featuring a multi-disciplinary approach.

The centre is expected to be operational mid-July after the building has been completed. The first group of service users will commence treatment by the end of July.

With treatment in private drug re-

habilitation centres costing over R350 000, there has been a great need for a state-run facility for parents who cannot afford to have their children admitted to private centres.

Local director of the South African National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence (SANCA), Zarina Ghulam, said they had been waiting a long time for such an initiative to take place in the metro.

“We are now faced with a new drug called krokodil which is fast becoming a huge problem among the youth.

Because we are an out-patient facility only, this centre (as an in-patient facility) will make it easier for us to combat drug use in the city. We are in urgent need of this facility and it could not have come at a better time,” said Ghulam.

Ghulam said SANCA treats over 60 people monthly and in the past 6 months 50% of those have been youths under 18 years of age.

SANCA said the drug of choice for young people was still tik but the opium krokodil which is mixed with various chemicals and chlorine, and sold

at R50 a pill, was quickly catching up.

Practice Manager at the Step Away Treatment Centre, Sandra de Villiers, said she was delighted with the new centre promoted by the department of social development as there are no facilities for minors.

“We fully support this as we get many inquiries for minors whom we cannot assist,” she said.

De Villiers said Step Away was a registered treatment facility with the Department of Social Development for people 18 years and older.

“We offer a 21-day in-patient treatment programme functioning with a multi-disciplinary team consisting of a psychologist, drug counsellor and two social workers,” De Villiers said.

De Villiers said the cost for the 21day programme is R28 000.

“Obtaining a licence for minors from the Department of Social Development is a huge undertaking because minors need educational programmes and the expense of running such a programme is very high. This could be a reason why it has taken this long for a state centre to be opened.”

Mandela Bay church fraternity speaks on Rev Joe Lofafa’s passing NCEBA DLADLA THE Memorial Service of the late Umhlobo Wenene News and Religious Programme presenter Reverend Joe Lofafa will be held at the Nangoza Jebe Great Hall tomorrow (Thursday) 11 June.

Lofafa (59), who joined Umhlobo Wenene FM in the late 1990s when the then Radio Xhosa was merged with Radio Transkei, was the presenter of the much-loved spiritual show Imvuselelo an initiative he brought to the SABC station.

He died after a long illness at the St George’s hospital in Port Elizabeth last Saturday.

A church service involving Lofafa’s family, his colleagues at Umhlobo Wenene and the Nelson Mandela Bay Metro church fraternity was held at the Methodist Church in Central, Port Elizabeth on Sunday.

“It’s a great loss for Rev Lofafa to

die at the time when the church of God needed him. He was a great unifier of the church, an instrument that God used for the church to speak with one voice. Condolences to his family and Umhlobo Wenene FM,” said Eastern Cape African Catholic Church Diocesan Bishop, Sonwabo Hoyi.

“Condolences to his family. Rev JJR Lofafa was a great man, a use-

ful man, a great preacher who brought Imvuselelo to the nation.

The country awaited the programme with bated breath every week because the man touched people with his preaching and exposition of the word of God,” said Western District Combined Methodist Church Bishop Dr Xolani Tengo.

Dr Tengo said that Lofafa was a great newsman who once taught at the then Unitra.

Reverend Mzolisi Kongwana of the Church of Umzi waseTopiya, Traditional Rite also said the passing of Lofafa, a man of God who had massive knowledge and experience, was a great loss.

“He was bestowed with many gifts. We are saddened for this is not like a redeployment. The nation has lost a great healer, preacher and teacher who uplifted many people spiritually,” said Kongwana.

Lofafa’s funeral will be held next weekend in Mthatha.

Three PE crime suspects nabbed in King William’s Town NCEBA DLADLA POLICE intelligence and community assistance led to the arrest in King William’s Town of three Port Elizabeth crime suspects last Wednesday.

Two unlicensed firearms and ammunition were recovered.

The arrest of the suspects aged between 25 and 30 years of age by a well organised crime intelligence operation was also as a result of community members’ positive contribution in a war against crime escalation in our communities, according to police spokesperson Lieutenant Siphokazi Mawisa.

Explaining Mawisa said, “Police received information about three males, who could possibly be planning a robbery, driving a hired vehicle and who

were staying over in a guest house in King William’s Town.

“Police followed up on the information and searched the men’s rooms in the guest house.”

A Norinco firearm with eight rounds of ammunition was found in the possession of the one of the suspects, according to Mawisa.

Police also found another 9mm pistol with twelve rounds as well as a 7.65 pistol with three rounds of ammunition in the vehicle they were using.

The hired vehicle was subsequently confiscated by the Police, said Mawisa, adding that the suspects were immediately arrested and charged with possession of unlicensed firearms and ammunition after they failed to confirm the ownership.

Police confiscated the firearms and ammunition adding that the magazine

were taken by police and would be sent for ballistic testing.

The serial numbers of all the firearms were filed off.

The suspects were expected to appear in the Magistrate’s Court in King William’s Town.

King William’s Town Cluster Commander, Brigadier Henry Vos thanked the community for sharing valuable information with the police.

He also encouraged the community members to report the criminals and/ or criminal activities to the police on Crime Stop 08600 10111, Crime Line 32211 or the nearest police station.

Brig. Vos also encouraged police members to continue with routine patrols and to keep their eyes and ears open at all times in order to prevent crime from happening in the first place.

Dog distemper outbreak in PE ‘is worst ever’ “The challenge is the fact that we don’t know how far and deep it has spread which is making this job difficult.

“Unfortunately there is no cure for distemper, but the disease can be prevented by inoculations,” he said.

Stander said dogs with the disease display symptoms of loss of appetite, coughing and runny nose, thick mucus coming from the eyes and nose, vomiting, diarrhea, fever, and lethargy.

“It’s important for owners to contact the local vet immediately. If you do not have the means or are in the Walmer township area, you can contact us for help,” said Stander.

THE Animal Welfare Society say the current outbreak of dog distemper in the Walmer Township area of Nelson Mandela Bay is the worst they have seen and urgent interventions are needed to prevent a spread to other parts of the city of this very contagious and potentially fatal disease.

Port Elizabeth Animal Welfare Society (AWS) director Hannes Stander said they were working hard to identify the affected dogs and spread awareness of the recent outbreak of canine distemper among dogs in the Walmer township.

Stander said the outbreak was the worst he had seen in his 14 years at AWS.

The Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality Public Health directorate said residents who cannot afford the services of a veterinarian, must urgently call the Municipal Dog Control Inspectorate at 041 506 1743.

“On receiving a call, a team of officials will be dispatched to the resident’s home to take a look at the dog and discuss its condition and symptoms with the owner. If suspicion exists that the dog has indeed contracted distemper, the animal will be taken away to the SPCA and may be put down,” said Mthubanzi Mniki, Municipal spokesperson.

Mniki said municipal officials were already out in Walmer Township and

“We plead for the cooperation and understanding of our residents during this period and that they appreciate that the Municipality is acting in the best interests of the health and safety of the canine population of Nelson Mandela Bay,” said Mniki. . According to www.vippetcare.com canine distemper is a highly contagious and often fatal viral disease.

Distemper primarily affects puppies and younger dogs, but can infect and be potentially fatal in dogs of any age. This disease is not transmissible to humans or cats. Canine distemper’s high fatality rate makes vaccination essential. – REPORTER

the surrounding areas educating people about the disease and what needs to be done when it is detected.

“The disease is passed from dog to dog through direct contact with fresh urine, blood or saliva. Sneezing, coughing and sharing food and water bowls are all possible ways for the virus to be passed on.

“Residents could clean and disinfect (with bleach) their dog’s kennel, food and water bowls and their own home to help prevent the virus from spreading.

“Puppies and dogs which have not been vaccinated and received their distemper shots are especially prone to the disease.

Contineud from page 1 According to the report, municipal officials who were not party to the corruption, were threatened and security had to be beefed up to protect these officials – including human settlements executive director, Lindile Petuna.

Mniki said it was not only Petuna’s office security that had been upgraded, but also his personal security was increased 10 months ago to include bodyguards after a security analysis was done owing to threats against his life.

DA leader in the NMB Metro, Retief Odendaal, said there were allegations of fraudulent and corrupt practices in the directorate and a few months before the Mayoral Committee Chairperson for this portfolio, Cllr Mkavu, was assassi-

nated in Uitenhage.

“It was widely speculated that he was on the brink of exposing certain corrupt practices within this directorate. It is clear that to this day council has no control over some of its officials in this directorate. This can be highlighted by the fact that a number of officials in this directorate still required personal protection by bodyguards.”

Odendaal said they were gravely concerned about the state of housing in the Metro and were also not surprised that the National Department of Housing had been asked to intervene.

“As mentioned we have a backlog of over 80 000 housing units which should be built and nearly half of all RDP houses, which have been built in the Metro post 1994, are in dire

need of rectification. Some 39 000 housing units have to be rectified in one way or another,” said Odendaal.

He said if adequate checks and balances were put in place there should be no room for corruption.

“There is no doubt that local SMMEs must be taken on board so as to ensure that they benefit from the projects.”

Human Settlements ministerial spokesperson, Ndivhuwo Mabaya, said minister Sisulu in her budget vote committed 30% of the budget to going to small contractors who would be supported through training.

Mabaya said SMMEs would also be partnered with big contractors if necessary. The Housing Development Agency would also work with small contractors.

Clover treats Africa Mamas to stay in the Bay NCEBA DLADLA WOMEN from all over the country who selflessly make a difference in the lives of the needy and poor, were treated to a stay in Nelson Mandela Bay as part of the Clover Mama Afrika Smarties Week.

The Clover Mama Afrika campaign identifies hard working women who, with limited resources of their own and sometimes through sponsorships from good Samaritans, selflessly give their time and energy to feed the poor and hungry in their communities.

“The Clover Mama Afrika team has, for over 10 years, worked hard to sharpen women’s skills and equip them to lead their communities by feeding the hungry and assisting with employment among community members who were in need of work,” said Clover Mama Afrika Corporate Service Manager, Professor Elain Vlok.

“For the first time this year, we took these hard-working women to experience the annual Smarties Week in Nelson Mandela Bay as a

thank you for their hard work in their communities,” said Prof.

Vlok.

The exercise started with a teambuilding session at Hobie Beach sponsored by Tropika to welcome the mamas.

During the three days’ workshop she helped mamas work on mosaic tiling of tables and chairs as well as sharpening their skills in flower arranging and baking in line with this year’s theme, “Pride and Joy”.

One of the aims of the skills development week was to expose the women to things that would help build their projects at home.

And, in return for the hospitality they received in the metro, the Clover Afrika Mamas made an immense contribution by sponsoring Khaya Cheshire Home which looks after orphaned and vulnerable children in the Walmer/Gqebera Township.

“It was fulfilling for us to be able to bring the mamas to a city that some have only heard of or travelled through before,” said Vlok, adding that she thought the experience had been really special for the mamas.

Clover Mama Afrika kick-started the Smarties Week with a team building session at Hobie Beach.

SANZAF treats grannies

Forty grannies from Port Elizabeth were treated to a special day on Wednesday, May 27. The South African National Zakah Fund organisation (SANZAF) nationally embarked on the project to spend the day with grandmothers, taking them shopping and treating them to breakfast and lunch. Ten Gelvandale High School pupils were invited by Sanzaf Port Elizabeth to accompany the grannies on a shopping spree where they could spend their R1000 voucher at Fashion World at Cleary Park Shopping Centre. They also received free blood pressure and sugar level tests.

According to IDAMWASA president Mama Bishop Christina Jika, the prayer meeting was held in association with the Department of Health, Nelson Mandela Bay Aids Council as well as the Aids, Training, Information and Counselling Centre (ATICC).

“This annual event is an ear-

nest call for our leaders to support the future of people living with the HI virus,” said Ma’Jika.

Through prayer, the church women leaders, who enjoyed the support of their husbands, also asked for God’s guidance and leadership in the fight against xenophobia and the elimination of drugs and crime in local communities.

Lineo Mokonenyane of the Nelson Mandela Bay Aids Council, who could not attend the event owing to other business, sent a message of support calling for the church fraternity to continue supporting the metro’s intersectoral meetings on the scourge of HIV/Aids and to mark the day in the church calender.

IDAMWASA Vice-President Mama Lindiwe Fatuse asked believers to follow Christ’s example while an HIV-infected person gave the dreaded virus a face, saying that residents should go back to the basics of ABC – Abstain, Be faithful or Condomise; and that those who were either infected or affected by the disease should know that there was still life to live, and a future to prepare for.

IDAMWASA president Jika reminded members and the general public of a general meeting that will be held on 14 June at their New Brighton offices, Unyangantathu on 12 July and the PreWomen’s Day Prayer Meeting which will be held on August 6 at the venues still to be announced.

Local rapper Ifani among celebs in Reality Check NELSON Mandela Bay’s own SAMA Award winning rapper Ifani, is one of a group of celebrities who is about to get down and dirty and give back to the community in the etv show Reality Check.

Ifani, who is one of the country’s most talked-about rappers and has recently been in the press about having a Twitter war with AKA for his album selling gold in one day, was born in Mthatha and raised in Nelson Mandela Bay. The new season of Reality Check, which starts on Saturday, July 4 at 6.05pm, sees Ifani joining musician and actress Kelly Khumalo and multitalented Chomee swapping the spotlight for laborious community work.

Reality Check, which is one of Mzansi’s unique shows, is an entertaining reality series that documents the journey of three famous local celebrities as they take a break from their glamorous lives in the spotlight to get down and dirty for the benefit of charity. Their mission is to do fabulously good deeds to the best of their abilities in communities that are often forgotten.

Each episode involves the three celebrities working with a different charity. One of the objectives of the show is to give the celebrities a reality check by getting them to contribute to their communities and local charities.

NMMU accounting school boosts pupils’ results NICKY WILLEMSE THE Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University’s accounting winter school programme, geared towards helping Grade 11 and 12 pupils improve their marks and their chances of attending university, boasts an impressive track record.

Almost a third of the 520 pupils who attended last year’s Grade 12 winter school successfully registered for degrees or diplomas at NMMU. An analysis comparing their June matric results with their December results has revealed that many of them shot up by as much as 30%.

Overall, more than half showed improved results from June to December.

Lyle Ressouw, one of the winter school’s top achievers last year, came third in the province overall in December.

This year’s week-long accounting winter school for Grade 12s, sponsored by Deloitte, takes place from June 29 to July 3, while the three-day Grade 11 winter school, sponsored

by PricewaterhouseCooper (PwC), takes place from July 7 to 9.

Ansulene Prinsloo, NMMU Accounting 1 lecturer and coordinator of NMMU’s accounting winter school programme, said, “The main aim of the accounting winter schools is to help pupils obtain higher Admission Points Scores (APS), which is their entrance ticket to higher education.”

NMMU first-year BCom Rat (Computer Science) student and Tegkor busary holder Luthando Mbaza, 19, who attended the Grade 12 school last year, said the individual attention pupils received in the winter school’s tutorial groups had helped him change his approach to accounting – leading to a 10% improvement in his matric results. “The tutorials helped me realise that I needed to understand accounting, not just memorise it.”

He said the winter school had also made for

All four students attended past winter schools as matric pupils.

NMMU first-year BCom Rat (Economics) student Sumaiya Moses, 18, a recipient of NMMU’s prestige Vice-Chancellor’s Scholarship for top-performing matrics, said last

year’s winter school had helped her identify her weak areas – and her marks had also improved by about 10%.

The Grade 12 winter school covers the entire matric curriculum, while the Grade 11 school covers the four main topics of the Grade 11 accounting curriculum.

“These are all topics that pupils will continue studying in Grade 12,” said Prinsloo. “The foundation of Grade 11 is so important – if this foundation is not solid enough, they are going to battle in Grade 12 ... Pupils also don’t realise the importance of their Grade 11 marks – these also have to be sent in with their forms when applying to study at a university.”

The winter school programme is taught using the school of accounting’s teaching model – which includes a combination of lectures, tutorial classes and homework.

Tutors for the second year in a row include second-year BCom (Chartered Accounting) students and members of NMMU’s prestige PinnAcle Leadership Programme, Roxanne Weiss and Jessica Chemaly, both of whom attended NMMU winter schools when they were at school.

As a tutor, Weiss, 20, said, it was encouraging to see pupils trying to improve their marks in the tutorials. “Some of them come from schools where they don’t have teachers or textbooks.”

Chemaly, also 20, said: “I love seeing them grasping concepts and asking questions ...

The lecturers really know what they’re talking about and the pupils are able to make connections they didn’t know in class. Accounting makes so much more sense.”

Attendees at the winter schools also receive career and bursary information – and are taught how to apply to university.

In addition to providing funding to cover the operating costs of the schools, Deloitte and PwC are donating files for every attendee, as well as 60 lucky draw prizes. There will also be prizes for the top three participants as well as the most improved pupil. These include a Samsung Galaxy Tablet and gift vouchers worth R1 000, R500 and R350.

Attendance for the Grade 11 or Grade 12 accounting winter schools costs R60 per pupil.

BayTV’s Amanda Nyoka aims at the stars NCEBA DLADLA FEISTY Amanda Bulelwa Nyoka, makeup artist and senior producer of BayTV’s children’s magazine programme, Big I Up is determined to go places.

And with her positive attitude it seems nothing will stand in her way.

Nyoka, of Zwide Township Port Elizabeth, has brushed the faces of the who’s who in South African celeb circles, like Zahara, Ntando, Mthunzi Namba and Pastor Jabu Hlongwane of Joyous Celebration Fame, among others.

Born 26 years ago to Nondyebo Mantile (a farm worker) and Silulami Nyoka, a GoodYear SA employee in Uitenhage, and raised ezifama zama-orenji (in the orange farms) in Addo, prides herself on having started at the bottom but destined for greatness - in the not too distant future.

After passing matric at Sisonke High School, KwaNobuhle in 2009, Nyoka enrolled for a marketing course and qualified with NQF 4 in 2011. In 2012 she did a short stint as a waitress but realised that this was not for her.

“I enjoyed the idea of working and earning money but realised that I was not happy. This was not for me,” she reminisced, adding that at the time she was busy taking care of her own facials and looks and would also help a few of her friends who wanted to look gorgeous.

“By God’s grace, a friend of mine heard that BayTV was looking for an intern for makeup. Knowing that I loved doing makeup she told me. And, as they say, the rest is history,” said Nyoka, explaining that after three months training, she got the internship job and later started the Film, Video and Television Production course offered through Footprint Media, which she completed this year.

Asked what she enjoyed the most about her job she retorted, “I love everything I am doing here. As a senior producer, working with children, giving instructions and being in charge is fulfilling.

And, doing makeup to all these celebrities that visit BayTV and of course the fact with my job I can still have time to perform my other business outside of work.

Her future plans? “To work for SABC, eTV or MNet as well as having my own TV production company.”

Local product ploughs back into his community SELBY MADIKANE ZWIDE-born Motherwell and Mpumalanga Black Aces player Zamxolo Eddie Ngalo stretched his helpful hand to Showvillage United FC to which he donated a set of kit on Sunday.

According to Ngalo, the motive behind the donation to Showvillage was to support the local football team. Ngalo said that he understood the plight of the local soccer teams; hence he was convinced that his donation would lift the spirit of Showvillage FC players.

“I started football here in Port Elizabeth and I know what it takes to run a club. Our clubs do not have financial resources. When I met Showvillage coach Lukhanyo Wasa some time ago, I told him that I want to help Showvillage because Wasa and his club are passionate about football.

“Today there are lots of opportunities for

the youth and they should stop complaining about having nothing, but they should concentrate on doing good things in their communities. Therefore I hope these upcoming and aspiring players of Showvillage have the potential of becoming stars one day. Therefore, things like sharing something with less fortunate people are the blessings”, said Ngalo.

Wasa, who was visibly chuffed, stated that what Ngalo had done for his side was great and would make an immense difference.

Wasa explains, “Eddie is our local professional player who lives an exemplary life. He told me that he would do us proud one day.

I am overwhelmed because this kit would make my boys motivated.

“Eddie understands that he hails from the less fortunate society and he does not forget about us. Some players who play topflight football seem to forget about their roots. On behalf of the club I wish to say thank you, Mr Ngalo, for coming to our rescue although you have your own responsibilities.”

Kit handed over to community club SELBY MADIKANE MOTHERWELL Build It has made possible a generous donation in the form of 30 golf shirts to Motherwell Rugby Football Club last week.

According to Motherwell Build It owner Sibongile Nkebe, Motherwell RFC requested from Motherwell Build It the donation of golf shirts.

Nkebe stated, “Our business is for the people and we always align ourselves with the community who are our role players. This is the way of thinking to better the lives of our community. Our business depends heavily on the community, inas- much that we do not operate on the island but we build it (society) together.

“Ours is to build it and we saw no better way than to invest in sport. Motherwell RFC have requested the shirts in the quest to commemorate their colleagues whom they lost from the previous years.”

However, Nkebe highlighted that to support community sport was to make a significant contribution to society. Nkebe appealed to

youth to take sport seriously refrain from doing crime.

Nkebe said, “At Motherwell Build It we build our society, hence we encourage the youth two associate themselves with sport.

Sport is the tool that is used to take the youth off the streets. The child in sport is the child not in court. Today there are lots of opportunities for our youth.”

Motherwell RFC Organiser Sindaphi Windvoel received the kit on behalf of Motherwell RFC. Windvoel said, “This generous donation will definitely boost the morale of our club.

This is one of our best memories since our club’s inception. At Motherwell RFC we have no financial muscle and Motherwell Build It have built our players’ confidence. Motherwell Build It have contributed tremendously towards restoring our dignity.

“On behalf of the club I would like to give special thanks to Motherwell Build It. They have made history in our club. We will sustain the kit because Motherwell Build It have confidence in us.”

Learners clothed by gogos SELBY MADIKANE HOZA Golden Age Club made a vast difference to the lives of 50 needy Melisizwe Primary School learners when they donated warm school jerseys on Friday.

The gogos’ club which has been in existence for quite a long time has been coming to the rescue of less fortunate communities on several occasions.

According to the Club’s group leader Mama Jumartha Majola, their club, which is run by elderly women from all areas of Nelson Mandela Bay, encourages a healthy lifestyle by giving back to the community through various sport development initiatives including sewing and counselling skills.

Mama Majola revealed that the office of the Nelson Mandela Bay Executive Mayor donated wool and knitting materials to Hoza Gold-

en Age Club so that they could be able to accomplish their mission.

Gogo Majola said Melisizwe Primary learners’ uniforms boosted their confidence and encouraged learners to attend school on a regular basis. Gogo Majola said, “We work in partnership with this school in order to identify each learner’s greatest needs.”

Melisizwe Primary School Acting Principal Nomathamsanqa George, who accepted the donation, said, “Everybody is happy today especially the recipients.

“Some of them do not have school jerseys because they hail from a very indigent background. Our area is highly characterised by unemployment and poverty.

“Some parents depend on their child’s support grants to sustain themselves. These jerseys will keep our learners warm through this chilly winter. Our thanks go to our gogos for making a difference to our kids.’’

NEBFA hold a glittering prize-giving function SELBY MADIKANE NEBFA Sedgars Sport Premier League held a glittering annual end of the year function at Hoza Community Hall in New Brighton on Friday evening to honour the clubs and individuals for their excellent performances over the 2014/2015 season.

Sedgars Sports owner Mongezi Gerald Majola clearly stated theirs was to uplift the standard of the community through sport.

Majola also revealed that sport was the effective tool to unite the people and keep the youth off the street. Majola stated that he was pleased that the standard of NEBFA Sedgars Sport League was improving since they started supporting NEBFA. SAFA Nelson Mandela Bay President Monde Mhletywa, who was the guest of honour, appealed to clubs to support NEBFA executive committee. Mhletywa also highlighted that junior league and women’s football should be taken seriously.

Mhletywa finally revealed that at SAFA

NMB they were willing to render assistance to all its LFAs. Winter Rose scooped the premier league first prize of R10 000, a set of kit, a floating trophy and 25 gold medals. Premier league runners-up Bush Bucks went home with R7 000, a set of kit and 25 silver medals. The third placed PE Sundowns collected R3 000 and a set of kit with the fourth placed Red City receiving R2 000.

PE Rovers became first division winners who received R6 000, a set of kit, a floating trophy and 25 gold medals. First Division runners-up Young Lions walked away with R4 000, a set of kit and 25 silver medals while the third placed PE All Stars got R2 500 and the fourth placed HUBS received R1 500.

NEBFA President Hlanganisile Hina thanked SAFA Nelson Mandela Bay for always supporting them. Hina also appealed to clubs, match officials and supporters to continue supporting NEBFA in their endeavour to uplift the standard of football in their LFA. According to Hina negotiations were underway with regard to sponsorship.

Callies work overtime to emerge victorious SELBY MADIKANE IT WAS a do-or-die clash when Callies had to dig deep to beat Hearts 2-1 in their PEFA Score Premier League clash.

Fireworks were produced when Callies, who are used to punishing other sides, found the going getting tough. Hearts fought tooth and nail but they could not break the Londt Park side’s unbeaten record.

KwaDwesi All Stars showed that they were

not palookas when they secured their first season victory from Highbury at Kemsley Park.

Another KwaDwesi side Forester also registered a emphatic 4-1 victory over NMB Municipality at Kemsley Park. Central Acemates were brave enough to disarm PE Defence following their hard 2-1 win.

Dancing Shoes Roboshi vs Toyi Toyi Baleni in title fight NCEBA DLADLA FIREWORKS could be expected when Uitenhage’s Lonwabo “Dancing Shoes” Roboshi locks horns with Mthatha pugilist Siphamandla “Toyi Toyi” Balenifor the South African Miniflyweight title over 12 rounds in Mthatha Town Hall on 3 July.

At stake will be the crown left vacant by the stablemate of Baleni’s, Simphiwe “Chain Reaction” Khonco, the number six rated WBA contender, who is the WBA Africa Miniflyweight and Interim World IBO

Minimumweight champion.

Khonco is pencilled in to face WBA Miniflweight kingpin Hekkie The “Hexecutioner” Budler later in September in a fight his mentor Madoda “One-more-Time” Dyonase believes they will win.

An upbeat Dyonase believes that Toyi Toyi Baleni is fired-up and ready to take up where Khonkco left off. According to Dyonase, the Eastern Cape title holder and SA title mandatory challenger Baleni, with six wins and four losses behind his name, has got what it takes to emulate Khonco and bring the title home.

Third ranked Roboshi who carries the record of 10 fights, eight wins (5KOs) with two losses believes this fight will catapult him to stardom.

According to his trainer Mlawuli Nawule, come the fight night, Roboshi will break the spell of the Mecca of boxing, Nelson Mandela Bay being without a national title from their male pugilists for more than 10 years, save for Nomampondomise Xotyeni who is the female SA Junior Lightweight titlist.

Since losing to Nhlanhla Ngamntwini at Orient Theatre in East London in February 2012, Roboshi has

been on the upward mobility, stopping a game Mzwamadoda Jibiliza in four rounds, Khwezi Antonie in two and Mziyanda Links also in the two rounds.

The question is, will Roboshi continue to shine against Baleni on July 3 in the latter’s backyard, or will Baleni up the ante and show the world that he was indeed worthy of his trainer's praises?

Lonwabo “Dancing Shoes” Roboshi is aiming at the vacant South African Miniflyweight title.

Nkohla denies City a win in ABC Motsepe SELBY MADIKANE SUBS goalkeeper Lwando Khune Nkohla denied Real City some goals when his side salvaged a hard fought 2-1 win in their ABC Motsepe League at Motherwell NU 2 Stadium on Saturday.

City came to the game with guns blazing but the tactical discipline of SUBS paid dividends. SUBS skipper Sikhumbuzo Mshweshwe delivered a perfect pass to Lizo Mahala who slotted the ball into the back of the net. City came up strongly as they were searching for their opening goal.

Moments later City equalised when their marksman Lukhanyo Sherriff Rasmeni headed home a spectacular goal catching Nkohla off guard. City defender Onesimo Maxengwana’s penalty kick was saved by Nkohla in the dying stages of the first half.

SUBS Head Coach Garth Pancho

Dickinson and his technical team joined hands to make a tactical substitution of Mayenzeke Sokunentsa, Dumisani Notshoba and Xola Ndzima.

Mayenzeke, a young man with a big heart, changed the whole complexion of the game because City was earlier piling on more pressure. City skipper Landile Libazi struck a rocket at close range but Nkohla was equal to the task.

SUBS skipper Mshweshwe, who was playing in the centrefield earlier, became a central striker and he combined well with Sithembiso Maloni.

City half back Lingelihle Gcwabe contained Maloni for almost the whole game. Just before the fat lady sang, Maloni scored a winning goal from the corner kick to guide SUBS to a 2-1 win.

Continental showed the Veeplaas side how to play football, and they did not give their counterparts the opportunity to express themselves.

It was expected that Continental, who once campaigned in the Sasol League Coastal Stream, would demolish the minnows.

In another one-sided affair, Highbury, who scored 29 goals a week,

took Vuku Wanderers to the cleaners when they thrashed them 8-1.

WELLS United midfielder Ayabulela Kapo scored the only goal that guided his side to a hard fought victory over the gallant City Rangers in their MOFA Build It First Division game at Motherwell NU 2 Sta-

by Phakamisa Sisilana.

In their quest to defend their lead, Wells decided to leave Zachariah Peter alone upfront. Peter was offensive

when he launched an attack.

Wells, who are log leaders, drew 2-2 with FC Motherwell who set their sights on the league trophy.

Happy Stars defeated Young Ideas 2-0 while Real City went down 2-0 to NU 29 United Stars.
