INDABA | WEDNESDAY 22 JULY 2015

Nursing students back after three week long lockout LIZEKA TANDWA THIRTY SEVEN nursing students are back at the Lilitha College of Nursing this week after a three-week protest which led to the principal closing the college’s gates.

The students were locked out for refusing to wear their nursing uniforms.

The ad hoc committee formed by unions who represent the students, said after negotiations with the principal, the school opened its gates on Monday.

“The only resolution made in the meeting was that students needed to go back to class. We will have another meeting to discuss the school’s policy on uniforms,” said Wezile Sandlana of the National Education, Health and Allied Workers’ Union (NEHAWU).

Sandlana said the meeting to negotiate on the uniforms will take place on July 28.

According to the students, on July 13, principal Limba locked the college gate at the Dora Nginza campus because students did not comply with her demands.

One of the students, who wanted to be referred to as Ace, said the principal was not following their policy but instead wanted to implement her own rules.

Ace said they refused to abide by Limba’s rules because her rules had not been stipulated in their contract with the school.

According to the contract a student is required to wear a uniform in clinical areas.

Students said two weeks ago a letter was circulated at the school stating that all students would need to wear a uniform to class or be removed out through the college gates.

Public and Allied Workers Union of South Africa (PAWUSA) member Winky Mngqibisa said, “The decision not to wear uniforms was agreed to by unions, the school and the students because students do not earn enough to afford uniforms.

They do not have allowances for uniforms and they need to preserve those uniforms for when they go to work.”

Mngqibisa said the white uniforms cost R150 for a dress, R120 a skirt and shoes can vary from R200 to R250.

“We are not saying that they can’t wear their uniforms, this is not what we are objecting to, but the manner in which she conducted herself leaves a lot to be desired,” said Mngqibisa.

“She doesn’t want to give us a reason for this change in protocol and this is what is frustrating.

Students receive a R2000 stipend and they cannot afford uniforms for class and practicals,” said Sandlana.

A student at Lilitha college for Nursing said they were forcibly kicked out of the school and those with uniforms were taken to their campus in central.

Ace said principal Limba refused their request and taught the only two students who had worn their uniforms that day from her office.

“When we arrived for school on Tuesday, July 14, we were told that we were not allowed into the school. The few that managed to get into class were forcibly removed.”

DA MPL Celeste Barker said this contravened the agreement between Lilitha College and the Department of Health, that nursing students may wear their casual clothes for classes and uniforms when performing clinical duties.

“No students should be denied the opportunity of attending lectures and receiving the education they need to further their careers,” said Barker.

Barker said she had addressed legislature questions to the MEC for Health, Dr.Phumza Dyantyi, as to the exact stipulations of the contract between her department and Lilitha College and whether students have to pay for their uniforms, or whether they receive uniform allowances, as in the past.

“Strike action by the student nurses at the Dora Nginza campus could spread to other campuses if this issue becomes a major grievance across the province. We cannot allow the education of much needed nurses in the province to be compromised in any way,” Barker ended.

Despite various attempts, comment could not be obtained from the principal.

Three stolen vehicles recovered in KwaNobuhle KWANOBUHLE members of the South African Police Service (SAPS) were praised for recovering three stolen vehicles in the space of a week in the area.

On Tuesday last week Warrant Officer Mannie Lewis and Constable Marian Muller recovered a Silver Polo Vivo inside a vacant shack in Kasibe Street.

The “garage”, it was discovered, was only serving as a store for stolen items.

“The vigilant duo opened the shack and to their surprise, they found a vehicle, parked inside.

“The vehicle, police confirmed, was reported as stolen during a house robbery at Hlungulu Street, Kwanobuhle, five days earlier,” said police spokesperson Sergeant Majola Nkohli.

“This recovery was the third in a space of seven days.”

On Wednesday July 8, police officers recovered a purple Nissan bakkie in another shack. The vehicle was believed to have been stolen on Friday 26 June.

On Monday 13 July police recovered a Mazda 323 at 4th Avenue the same day it was reported stolen from Siwani Street.

Acting station commander Lieutenant Colonel Irene Bezuidenhout, commended the police officers for their work.

“I want to thank the police officers for their dedication, alertness and prowess in the space of seven days,” said Bezuidenhout, urging members of the community to report vacant shacks erected for criminal activities in their areas. – NCEBA DLADLA

Doing good for Tata Madiba

Media 24 staff, of which Indaba Express is a publication, joined GMSA in its “67 minutes for Madiba” campaign, participating in the Stop Hunger Now SA project.

Transnet Foundation make a difference to Khulile Primary School SELBY MADIKANE TRANSNET Foundation dedicated their 67 minutes of Madiba to Khulile Primary School in Motherwell NU 7.

According to Transnet Foundation Stakeholder Engager Unathi Sonti, their company decided to make the lives of Khulile Primary School better, because the school was often vandalised; thus leaving the lives of the pupils at risk. Transnet Foundation fixed various broken things like putting up new ceilings, new fluorescent bulbs, new switches, news locks, new window panes, new tiles, painting the classroom walls and doing plumbing.

ANC Ward 59 Councillor Mazangwandile Dano stated that he was happy with the Transnet Foundation initiative in that the school environment, which is often affected by vandalism, looked good.

Cllr Dano said, “I am very happy because Transnet Foundation is making a big difference to our children. I hope that this initiative will help to improve the culture of teaching and learning. Our school will at least look better than it was before. But the entire roof of the school needs painting but the school does not have financial means.”

Khulile Primary School Principal Lumka Zokoza, who could not hide her excitement, divulged that Transnet Foundation came at the right moment because vandalism was rife at her school.

Zokoza said that the electrical wires were stolen by vandals. Zokoza explains, “Our school has been hugely vandalised so many times. A lot is badly affected; we can-

not use our computers, the night school suffers as well and our computer laboratory was also broken into and the community and the learners suffer.

“The window panes were mostly broken and in winter as we speak, our learners cannot withstand the chilly weather conditions. Other challenges that we face here are that the thugs steal the staff cars’ hub caps during the tuition time and they jump over the school fence and rob our learners during the break. Above all I am very happy because Transnet Foundation initiative has made a positive impact on our learners and parents.”

Khulile Primary School Governing Body chairperson Welcome Jobela thanked Transnet Foundation. Jobela said, “On behalf of the school I wish to say a special thanks to Transnet Foundation. This encourages our children to learn their books because they know that their school now looks beautiful.

“I want to appeal to the community to be the eyes of the school. People must come forward to the school when they have seen the vandals. The school is a community asset. We also appeal to the government to provide our school with a security office, a night watchman, the desks and chairs.

When it comes to desks and chairs, things are very bad because our children use paint buckets as chairs for the entire school.”

WESSA Education officer Pearl Jonas, who was in attendance, also hailed Transnet Foundation for dedicating their 67 minutes during Mandela Day to Khulile Primary, one of the Eco-environment Schools.

Walmer High spruced up on Mandela Day NCEBA DLADLA THE learners of Walmer High School have a new fountain of knowledge.

The school’s library, known as Umthombo Wolwazi (meaning the fountain of knowledge) has been undergoing an upgrade since last week.

And to celebrate Mandela Day, learners from Walmer High, Pearson High, students affiliated to the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan’s International Masifunde Society, Algoa FM presenters and national netball star Zanele Mdoda all pitched in to get the painting done.

Masifunde’s Fatima Klett said it had always been their wish to extend the school’s library to meet the ever-increasing demand from

learners. At the same time two class rooms, which had previously been vandalised, were renovated.

The extended library will feature a computer corner, a new desk area and an office for library prefects who had a major role to play in the school library.

“It is all being done with the help of some private donors and the volunteers who pitched in on Mandela Day,” an exited Klett said.

Ntemasha Maseka, a third year law student and NMMU Masifunde Student Society coordinator said giving back brought its own rewards.

“It is nice to give time for the benefit of others in the name of Mandela who sacrificed his life for others. To me, Mandela is a symbol of selflessness and sacrifice,” the Zambian national said.

A woman’s place is no longer in the kitchen, says Social Development CHANDRÉ MASOLING INDUSTRIOUS women from around Nelson Mandela Bay should know that they can turn to the Department of Social Development for assistance.

At a recent meeting with women co-operatives the department said that it was geared to help build and develop the cooperatives.

“Women cooperatives are women with small businesses like farming, sewing, selling eggs, embroidery and selling cleaning supplies,” said Sibabalwe Nkeba, communication officer of the Eastern Cape Department of Social Development.

Nomzamo cleaning co-operative, Red Location Back Packers Lodge and Dimbaza Household co-op, were only a few of the cooperatives that were present at the meeting.

“Within the department we have a Social Relief of Distress (SRD) budget, which we use to teach these women skills and to develop them,” said Thamo Mzobe, Senior

Manager of the Department’s Cooperatives Unit.

Women co-operatives first have to register themselves and their business with Social Development before they can qualify for the benefits of SRD. “We are not giving the co-op’s a financial boost, but we are developing by means of providing opportunities. For instance women who are registered for catering, will do catering for Social Development events,” said Mzobe.

Another area where women co-operatives could find a sustainable market was in making school uniforms Mzobe said. “And it won’t be a once off, because it’s a life-long sustainable program. This woman will have to supply the child from Grade 1, up until Grade 12.”

Mzobe concluded by saying, “We are trying to incorporate co-operatives in every department of Social Development.”

Thantaswa Loqo (front) and Mhlangabezi Banya are two of the 12 candidates participating in the Building Inspector Training Programme, conducted by the Coega Development Corpora­ tion (CDC). The programme continues to gain momentum as the 12 trainees participate in a 10­day painting and decorating workshop at Coega’s Human Capital Solutions centre (HCS).

The practical training includes basic colour theory, repainting of plastered surfaces and repainting of wood surfaces under the tutorship of a seasoned facilitator and assessor. This will be followed by a programme on plastering and tiling and will conclude with additional painting and decorating. The Building Inspector Training Programme, launched in April this year, is set to run for a period of 18 months with up to eight months of practical training and the balance for mentorship.

More Black bone marrow needed to save lives NCEBA DLADLA CANCER survivor Zodwa Dube is on a mission. She wants more black South Africans to join the South African Bone Marrow Registry.

“There are currently 68 000 bone marrow donors while only 4 000 of those are black donors. This is a serious problem as there are many people in need of bone marrow,” said

Cancer Survivors Zodwa Dube (left) and face of Bone Marrow Masakhane, Yolanda Bukani.

Bone marrow is the spongy tissue inside some of the bones in the body. According to the South African Bone Marrow Registry this tissue can be regarded as the factory for the production of red cells to carry oxygen, white cells to fight infection and platelets to prevent bleeding.

Every year thousands of individuals with blood diseases such as leukemia, marrow failure or aplasia reach a stage where only a bone marrow transplant offers a chance of cure.

Because “tissue-types” are inherited characteristics, used in matching donors and patients the likelihood of finding a suitable volunteer will be considerably greater within the same ethnic background. But with only 4 000 registered black donors, the chances for a successful transplant in black patients are not as great as for the rest of the population.

“The registry is not a true reflection of South African demographics. We need more black donors,” said Dube, adding that people should stop making excuses or hiding behind their culture or traditions when they were asked to donate blood of bone marrow.

Every healthy person between 18 and 45 can be a donor.

Dube said many people would argue that their ancestors would not recognise them should they die after donating blood or bone marrow. Some were also fearful of tests that may show that they have HIV/Aids. But as Dube argues, what if you put your fears aside to save the life of someone like 14 year old Lutho Kakalala from Kwazakhele? The teenager is suffering from Aplastic Anemia and is in desperate need of a bone marrow transplant.

“He is his mother’s only child, there are no siblings who could be a match for his tissuetype.” Dube has now joined forces with VW SA to help find a suitable donor for the boy.

During the awareness Campaign at Ke Nako Mall were from left, Zodwa Dube (third from left) Songo Ngwenda a donor from New Brighton and sisters Demi and Anique Pieterson from Bethels­ dorp who signed on as donors.

The awareness campaign was also held at

the Bay West Mall on Mandela Day this past Saturday with the hope of making more people aware of donating blood and bone marrow in the spirit of the great statesman’s legacy of selflessness and doing good for others.

Songo Ngwenda: Doing it for his friend NCEBA DLADLA SONGO Ngwenda lost a dear friend to cancer five years ago. Since then, the lad from New Brighton in Port Elizabeth has thought long and hard about the gift of life and the importance of giving.

Calling for more Black blood and bone marrow donors is Songo Ngwenda of New Brighton.

“My friend was diagnosed with cancer at 17 years of age. We were shocked and did not know what to expect. It was sad knowing that he had this disease that would one day take his life,” said Songo who added that his friend passed on two years later.

“This destroyed me. I thought about it for a long time,” he said, adding that the experience drove him to learn Human Anatomy and Biomedicine at the Peninsu-

la Technikon in Cape Town.

The saying from a Bob Marley song: “Live for yourself, you will live in vain, live for others, you will live again” rang true to this young man who found real purpose when he made contact with the Igazi Foundation.

The foundation, which was founded in the Eastern Cape, is a lobby group for better services and facilities for people who suffer from diseases such as leukemia. It’s also currently trying to raise awareness among black South Africans to become bone marrow donors.

“When I saw the Igazi Foundation on the internet I wanted to know more about what they do, and ever since I jumped on board, I haven’t regretted it,” said Songo, who is also a registered blood and bone

marrow donor.

“I do it in honour of my friend,” he said, urging other black brothers to give blood and give love.

Songo says it is also time for black people to have a conversation about donating organs to save lives and to address old beliefs that donating blood and bone marrow was against culture.

Songo said he was pleased by what Igazi Foundation was doing.

“We are a group of volunteers making sure that there is enough blood to give in Nelson Mandela Bay. We are also concerned that there is so much cancer in the Eastern Cape. There is a need for more education,” said Igazi Foundation’s Cole Cameron, adding that what people like Songo was doing should be applauded.

CPF/SAPS Uitenhage Cluster gives love in honour of Nelson Mandela NCEBA DLADLA FOR TEN elderly residents from areas that fall under the Police’s Uitenhage Cluster, Mandela Day celebrations came a day early.

The ten residents, who are all 70 or older received gift packs on Friday July 17. The event was organised by the Community Policing Forum (CPF) of KwaNobuhle in conjunction with

the South African Police Services (SAPS) Uitenhage Cluster at the Kwa-Nobuhle Station in Mkoko Street.

“We normally celebrate Mandela Day as the CPF/SAPS KwaNobuhle but decided to go big including the Addo, Kirkwood, Wolwefontein, Kamesh, Despatch and Uitenhage Police Station precincts for the first time this year,” said CPF Provincial Chairperson Monica Mbatsha who also heads the Uitenhage Clus-

ter CPF. The gift pack recipients were all from the different policing areas and the event was a resounding success, according to Mbatsha. She applauded the decision to hold the event on the Friday which ensured that nobody missed out because the majority of SAPS members were off duty on Saturdays.

“We have also succeeded in making sure that we establish a database for the elderly citizens Uitenhage Cluster CPF Chairperson Monica is speaking while from left, Brig. Leonie Bentley, Metro Whipery’s Chicky Makasi and CPF Secretary Lisa Ngalo were listening attentively. PHOTO:SUPPLIED

in the Uitenhage Cluster, said Mbatsha,” adding that Uitenhage Police Commander Brigadier Leonie Bentley commended the CPF and the SAPS for their initiative on behalf of the Uitenhage Cluster Commander, Brigadier Phillip Salukazana who could not attend owing to other commitments.

“The elderly were also very happy and appreciative of the gifts packs they received in celebration of Mandela Day,” said Mbatsha.

New traffic cameras do the rounds LIZEKA TANDWA

GREY boxes with a little window that have

in recent weeks been spotted alongside major roads in Nelson Mandela Bay have given rise to much speculation on social media on whether or not these are new traffic cameras.

In addition, these cameras, thought to be new permanent ones, have been disappearing as quickly as they appeared.

After numerous fruitless inquiries to the municipality about the mysterious boxes, with even the director of traffic and licensing services, Hamilton Totoyi, saying that no new traffic cameras are being installed, the DA councillor for safety, Gustav Rautenbach, established that the boxes are in fact new Icam traffic cameras, which are not only smart cameras but are mobile as well.

The Icams were spotted along the William Moffett Expressway, Uitenhage Road and Settlers Freeway last week.

According to Rautenbach, the municipality appointed a new service provider in January for the supply, installation and maintenance of the Icam digital red light and speed violation cameras.

The contract includes the upgrading of the permanent cameras which were used during the previous service provider’s contract period, which ended in December last year.

According to the website of Traffic Management Technologies, the new service provider, the portable Icam, which the company designed and weighs 2 kg, has multi-purpose roles.

The device also uses Itrack for stolen vehicles or vehicles with unpaid fines that are on the special interest screening list and

Pictured is the new traffic Icam.

alerts traffic officers to the approaching vehicle. Apart from speed checking, it can also capture red light violations.

According to TMT, the device also interfaces with hand-held electronic ticket-issuing devices and allows for the issuing of a ticket by a traffic officer on the site.

Rautenbach said this was considered to be an enhancement of the services delivered to the community of the metro.

He added that these portable Icams would be moved from place to place around the city as various sites had been identified by the municipalities.

“However, more must be done to ensure road safety and the enforcement of traffic law on our roads.

“The DA believes that the establishment of a specialised motorbike unit and a 24hour traffic service will further enhance visibility and safety,” he said.

Rock Girls from Nelson Mandela Bay on the move CHANDRÉ MASOLING DEVELOPMENT Partner, IMBEWU S.A. and Nelson Mandela Bay Tourism collaborated, and hosted the Rock Girls on a 5km walk through New Brighton.

Recently the two rock Girl groups from New Brighton and Helenvale merged and formed Rock Girls Nelson Mandela Bay. Rock girls merged 5 years ago in Cape Town, with help of Human Rights lawyer, Inida Baird. The girls in these groups come from violent neighbourhoods, where they are exposed to crime and misfortune at very young ages.

Rock Girl is a grassroots movement used to inspire, encourage, and invest in girl-initiated and girl-focused projects in the private and public sectors.

The Rock Girls braved the streets of New Brighton Saturday and shared their stories

with each other and the community.

In addition there were 35 students from the United Kingdom who joined the initiative whilst visiting Nelson Mandela Bay. Fomer CEO of Tourism in the metro, Mike Pantsi, says “The term “Rock Girls”, is originally from the well known saying in isiXhosa “wathint’ abafazi, wathint’ imbokodo”, says Pantsi. The words mean“you strike a woman, you strike a rock.”

Pantsi confirmed, “The reason behind the commemorative walk that took place, is because of the 1952 Defiance Campaign which was led by the late Raymond Mhlaba, who was a comrade of Nelson Mandela.”

Mandlakazi Skefile, CEO of Nelson Mandela Bay Tourism said, “As tourism representatives we were proud of participating in the walk, which contributes to nation building and destination promotion that is led by young women, who are educating and empowering themselves.”

Sanelisiwe Dick, Yonela Maposa and Abongile Sixakwe are members of Youth for Safer Communities.

On Thursday they met Nelson Mandela Bay Executive Mayor Danny Jordaan and Mayoral Committee Member for Youth, Sport, Arts and Culture Cllr Andiswa Mama at City Hall to submit the resolutions of the Youth Safety Summit.

The summit was held as part of the Masifunde Learner Development Programme to help cut down on the rising crime statistics involving mostly young people in the metro municipality.

The youth noted that criminals were part of communities and not enough was done to fight crime.

The trio talked about the need for the creation of safe spaces, something that depended on all community members, and not police alone.

“There is a need to raise awareness through

community safety forums for a shared responsibility. It’s time that we stop shifting the blame. Government can’t do it alone,” said Maposa.

Gangsterism was also seen as a major problem facing young people. Dick said the youth thought that to be a gangster was cool. She blamed the media for portraying gangsters as superstars.

The summit also resolved that former prison inmates should be used to communicate the dangers of crime and police should be better trained in communication and public relations.

Jordaan commended the youth for their clear career choices. He told them it depended on their own hard work and resilience to achieve their goals.

“It’s great when young people of the metro talk about issues they themselves identified as problems affecting the city,” said Jordaan, adding that it was encouraging that this happened on the weekend when Nelson Mandela, a selfless campaigner for safer communities, was celebrated.

The mayor said he would make sure that Cllr Mama followed up on the learners’ recommendations.

Mbasa Gospel Stars release sizzling Gospel album - Bavumeleni NCEBA DLADLA FOR three local young and gifted gospel singers their dream of being recorded artists has been fulfilled.

Silindokuhle Mpalala, Yamkela Macoli both of Motherwell and Andisile Mapolisa of Despatch feature on a new 12 track album released last week by local gospel star Mbasa Swartbooi. The Mbasa Gospel Stars CD Bavumeleni was recorded at Vuma Studios (Pty) Ltd after the three won the talent search Mbasa of KwaNobuhle in Uitenhage held around Nelson Mandela Bay last year.

“I did a talent search to help up-and-coming gospel musicians who wanted to see themselves record music but did not have the means,” said Mbasa, adding that this was as a result of many people asking her to help them make it in the music industry.

With three successful albums behind her name, Mbasa, assisted by community leader Nontsika Ngqezana of Motherwell, gospel artist Zikhali Jawa and Vuma Studios pro-

ducers including Livard Hansa, took the plunge and auditioned metro gospel enthusiasts. Mpalala, Macoli and Mapolisa were the ultimate winners taking the prize of recording the sizzling album with lovely songs like “Sivuselele” and “Emoyeni”.

Mbasa told Express Indaba that she was now recording a DVD and was busy distributing the music to community and national radio stations.

It has been an exciting journey for the winners but not an easy one for Mbasa who did it all without sponsorship.

“I saw great talent here in Nelson Mandela Bay. I am proud of the three winners. They are blessed with immense talent. It has been easy working with them as though were experienced artists,” said album producer Livard Hansa of George in the Western Cape.

“I want to thank my husband, Thembekile and my children for seeing my vision and supporting this initiative as well as Ward 54 Councillor Aaron Nyikilana for the success of the project. We, however, would like financial support to be able to distribute the music,” said Mbasa.

Nomathemba Gum Touch Rugby Tourney launched THE Nomathemba Gum Tag Rugby Coaching Clinic will be held at the Wolfson Stadium, Kwazakhele today.

This will be in preparation for the league which will start in earnest next Wednesday 29 July for the next five weeks.

This school girls rugby development programme, an initiative of Kwazakhele practising Physiotherapist Gum, targeting lower primary and high school girls has grown by leaps and bounds since its inception in 2013.

Gum, like the late former Sports Minister Steve Tshwete, believes, “a child in sport, is a child out of court.” With the ills of early childhood pregnancy, alcohol and drug abuse and the scourge of HIV/Aids, Gum believes her giving back to the community that supports her would one day yield good results.

“I have so far produced some EP players from my club and school league. In fact, more than 10 players are currently in the EP teams” said a proud Gum who is also the founder and presi-

dent of Bontle Tigers Ladies RFC. Since the launch of this Department of Education supported programme which saw some of the girls playing the sport for the first time in July 2013, according to Gum, IKhwezi Lomso High School won the league and went on to represent Nelson Mandela Bay District in the Eastern Cape interdistrict rugby competition.

They ultimately came 4th in the Eastern Cape High Schools rugby national girls’ 7s series, reminisced a jubilant Gum.

Ndzondelelo High School won the Lucky Mange Cup which was contested by the top 4 in the league. This Zwide Township school won the 7s series, according to Gum. The tournament had only three primary schools participating in the first year; Sivuyiseni, Isaac Booi and Garret, Gum remembered, adding that it became bigger and better when five primary schools from Kwazakhele, Kaizer Ngxwana, Seyisi, Sipho Hashe, Ben Sinuka, and Kama joined. – NCEBA DLADLA

Thubalethu Boxing Tourney to honour Madiba this Saturday FIREWORKS could be expected in an open boxing tournament organised by Thubalethu Boxing Club of KwaNobuhle at the Sizakele Konzi Community Hall this Saturday.

The tournament held in memory of former state president, freedom fighter and icon of democracy Nelson Mandela who was a former star boxer himself, will feature the greatest talent produced in the Eastern Province currently, according to Thubalethu BC Manager Mazizi Vumazonke.

Explaining, Vumazonke said the tourna-

ment, held also in honour of the departed former South African Junior Lightweight champion Mpisekhaya “Phantom Killer” Mbaduli and former All-Africa Miniflyweight kingpin Mthuthuzeli “Skeleton” Nene, will also see both the province and national champions in action.

He said, “This tournament will see Nelson Mandela Bay Metro, Buffalo City Metro, Amathole District and Sundays River Valley Local Municipality-based provincial and national champions in action. They will be

coming here to do what they do best - throwing leather - in honour of Madiba.”

According to Vumazonke, fans were invited to enjoy the best of the best male and female provincial fighters in action - and that will be for free.

“There’ll be lots of entertainment for those present with local music groups promising to spice up the event,” said Vumazonke, who is also the Nelson Mandela Bay Amateur Boxing Organisation Scribe.

Kirkwood’s elite National Flyweight Champi­ on Monalisa Takane and her mentor Simphiwe Nana will be here to honour Mandela on Saturday.

‘Dancing Shoes’ promises to bring the title home NCEBA DLADLA NELSON Mandela Bay’s hopes lie squarely on the shoulders of strawweight boxer Lonwabo “Dancing Shoes” Roboshi of KwaNobuhle to win his fight against Dalu-xolo Mangcotywa of Duncan Village in East London and finally become the South African champion this Friday night.

Third-ranked Roboshi and Mangcotywa (4th) will square off over 12 rounds in a major boxing tournament brought courtesy of Ayanda Matiti’s Xaba Boxing Promotions in honour of the icon of freedom, peace and

democracy, Nelson Mandela.

The fight will be beamed live on SABC Sport from 9:30pm.

At stake will be the SA Miniflyweight title vacated by Mthatha’s Simphiwe Khonco who will be challenging for the world honours in September.

Roboshi was first pencilled in to face Khonco’s stablemate Siphamandla Baleni, but the governing Boxing South Africa (BSA) did not approve the latter, but a better qualifying Mangcotywa.

“The boy is ready to win the SA title for Nelson Mandela Bay in honour of Madiba.

We have done enough preparation and

come the fight night, Roboshi will be crowned new SA Miniflyweight champion,” said Roboshi’s mentor Mlauli Nawule.

Nawule said they were not perturbed at all by the change of date and opponent for the fight. According to him, Roboshi has been hard in training and could face any boxer in the top ten rankings and beat him.

Roboshi believes he has never been this ready.

“I want to promise Nelson Mandela Bay fans, I am ready for anything that Mangcotywa will bring. Friday is my night. I’ll win this title for them,” he said.

The city that used to be referred to as the

Mecca of boxing because of its historical role in the fistic sport, last held a title when the late Mbulelo Nyanda won the SA Junior Flyweight crown in 2003.

It was not without trying, though. All attempts by the previous pugilists were in vain.

Since the official introduction of women boxing by the Boxing Act, 11 of 2001 in 2005, NomaMpondomise Xotyeni, Roboshi’s stablemate at Silindokuhle Boxing Club broke the ice, and won the SA Female Junior Lightweight title in July last year.

“Her success will rub off on me,” he quipped.

Champ of Champs KO Competition expected to draw large crowds SELBY MADIKANE ZAFA Njeya Investment Champion of Champions Knockout Competition, which is the first of its kind since the inception of this local football association (LFA), is expected to attract large crowds to Wolfson Stadium and to Dynamos Grounds on Saturday.

All in all the fans will be treated to top-class

football. No side will easily give away the game as their supporters would like to see nothing other than silverware at the end of the tournament.

The full programme on Saturday 25 July 2015 is as follows: Wolfson Stadium B Field: 9:00 United Brothers vs. Eleven Angels 10:30 Stone Breakers vs. Silver United 12:00 Brazil Brothers vs. Njoli United Brothers (NUBS) 13:30 City All Stars vs. Seven United Dynamos Grounds: 9:00 Young Professionals vs. Golden Brothers 10:30 Dynamos vs. Black Eagles 12:00 Continental Express vs. Major Chiefs 13:30 United Comrades vs. Everton
