BETTIE GILIOMEE-ROSSOUW – EP MEDIA REGIONAL EDITOR

NPRECEDENTED. This word is the best way to sum up the situation that the world is grappling with due to an invisible enemy.

And in times of crisis and uncertainty, the first casualty is accurate information. Fake news and paranoia at times are spreading faster than the Covid-19 virus itself. This is probably one of the main reasons why the South African government decided to include media as an essential service that will be allowed to continue operations during the 21-day national lockdown that President Cyril Ramaphosa announced to curb

and contain the worst impact of Covid-19 in South Africa. Now, more than ever, the people of South Africa need information that they can trust. And that is exactly what PE Express and the other local newspaper titles in the EP Media group will continue to do across the Eastern Cape. We will keep our communities informed and be a source of accurate and reliable information. Above all, we want the people of our communities to know that while they are at home during lockdown, they are not alone; We are #InItTogether. In these difficult weeks and perhaps months to come, our role in providing vital and trusted news, the human interest stories about positive contributions made by people in trying times, as well as ways of

As we experience the impact of Covid-19 spreading across the world and South Africa as well, we hope that our readers and community members continue to stay safe. Media24 is taking the situation very seriously and have weeks before the lockdown implemented several precautionary measures to mitigate the impact of the spread of the virus on our business and ensure the safety of our staff. A week before the lockdown was announced the majority of staff had already been enabled to work from home to ensure the safety and well-being of our staff, as well

All our contractors and service providers received strict guidelines on regular and thorough disinfecting of vehicles and this is being monitored and inspected. All our contractors, including the teams delivering our newspapers, have been supplied with hand sanitisers and clear instructions on how to use that before, during and after handling our products. These too are being monitored. As with most companies in South Africa, this is all new to us. We welcome our readers’ input on this. Stay safe and remember: We are #InItTogether.

Electricity accounts unblocked during lockdown CANDICE BEZUIDENHOUT THE Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality has decided to unblock all previously blocked electricity accounts to enable electricity purchases during the country’s current lockdown period. This is to ensure that there will be no panic-stricken residents queueing to pay their accounts in order to avoid their prepayment electricity meters from being blocked. However, Bay interim mayor, Tshonono Buyeye, made it clear that as soon as lockdown ends, all those with unresolved enquiries will have to sort out their accounts. This announcement was made after a mayoral committee meeting, where the institution’s contingency plans to ensure the provision of unbroken essential service, were tabled and adopted. Buyeye said that the recent establishment of the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality Disaster Management Advisory Forum and lengthy planning meetings, put the metro in good stead to face the toughest hurdle successfully. According to Buyeye, the forum also finalised scenario planning during these meetings even before the lockdown announcement was made by the president. “It is during times of difficulty that the characters of strong men and women are tested. “I am confident that we are up to the challenge to do our civic duty to safeguard our communities and especially the most vulnerable. “In fact, the drastic measures imposed show how serious government is about the protection of the elderly, people with weakened immune systems and those suffering

from pre-existing conditions,” Buyeye said. He also confirmed that quarantine sites were being identified and that plans to ensure that the homeless are accommodated, were in an advanced stage. “Essential services personnel identified by national government and those directly responsible for fighting the scourge that reached more than 300 000 infections worldwide, will continue to work during the lockdown period. He also added that the safety of employees responsible for ensuring that electricity supplies, water and emergency services are in place, remains of paramount importance. “Procurement processes are in place to buy more protective clothing and equipment for first responders and employees to do their jobs without putting their own safety and that of their families at risk.” Until directives from national government request otherwise the following services are considered essential: Water services, electricity, sanitation and support services; traffic services, metro police, fire and emergency services; fleet services, wellness centres, refuse collection, laboratories and disaster management. A dedicated webpage on the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality website (http:// www.nelsonmandelabay.gov.za/page/disaster-management-advisory-forum-covid-19) has been established to share numerous aspects of the Nelson Mandela Bay Disaster Management response to the pandemic. More information can be found on the following website: www.sacoronavirus.co.za. The national helpline is 0800 029 999. WhatsApp messages can also be sent to 060 012 3456.

New NMU app to provide info during lockdown REPORTER RESIDENTS of the Eastern Cape should not have to fear that they will be left in the dark during the 21-day nationwide lockdown period - owing to an app developed by Nelson Mandela University (NMU). The Yabelana, meaning “to share”, system, is the first of its kind and uses technology to provide residents with easily accessible information on their cellphones. The university’s director of the Centre for Community Technologies (CCT), Professor Darelle van Greunen, said the CCT became involved by assisting with the preparation of the training material and multimedia for the app. “As part of a collaboration between North West University and CCT, we took over the custodianship of the app,” Van Greunen explained. The project is currently active in the communities of Ikageng, Promosa, Lokaleng and Sharpeville. Given the current situation, it will be rolled out in the Eastern Cape and service providers in the province are encouraged to register on the app.

Pavement brings relief to pedestrians IN an effort to ensure the safety of pedestrians, joggers and the community as a whole, a project to lay out a pavement in Ward 8 was recently completed. The pavement, approximately 300m long and 1m wide, is located in Bergeus Street, Lorraine, and took about three months to complete. Ward councillor, Gustav Rautenbach, said that before the pavement was erected, there was absolutely nothing there. “The ground was uneven and overgrown with weeds and it was difficult for a lot of people to walk there. It was also unsafe for pedestrians,” he added. “Whenever it rained, the ground would be wet and muddy. It was a sorry sight.” According to Rautenbach, this is a very busy street, with people walking up and down in the afternoon, but especially during peak hours. Apart from that, the PE Riding Club, which is situated in this street, usually hosts

Keeping you safe, securing your assets.

According to Van Greunen, Yabelana is context specific and gives a wide range of information, from health care and social services to councillors’ contacts and events. “Service providers and citizens can benefit by putting their services on the app and allowing citizens to see which providers are open and can be of service during these times. “In doing so, it will minimise risk, as citizens will know which service providers closest to them are operational. “It will also allow them to be in contact with the service providers to establish whether they have what the citizen is looking for,” she added. The first step is to download the app from Google Play or the App Store. Service providers are then required to register and promote their services. “Users can search and find service providers in any category, make contact and give feedback about the service provided. This encourages citizen participation and accountable service delivery,” Van Greunen added. The following link provides step-by-step instruction on how to register for this project:: https://yabelana.org/

many different provincial and national horseriding competitions. It was therefore a necessity to erect a pavement at this particular spot. “The safety of our community is of utmost importance to me. No one has to feel unsafe in this street anymore. Not only does the pavement ensure a safer place for pedestrians and joggers to go about their business, but it also makes the environment neat and pleasant on the eyes,” Rautenbach said. He mentioned that there are many more projects in the pipeline for Ward 8, once a budget is set aside for them. “We had the budget for the pavement, which cost just over R50 000 and we used it to improve our ward.” Rautenbach said that this project also created jobs for four local residents, two men and two women. “Helping to uplift the community has always been important to me, but I also strongly believe that it is even more important to empower women.”

Shopping before lockdown – our readers say: Bread, fresh fruit and vegetables, pasta and flour to knead their own bread in case they run out, seemed to be the most popular items to fly off the shelves as residents geared up for the lockdown that started on Thursday, March 26, at midnight. A few ‘PE EXPRESS’ readers, who did their shopping the day before, shared some of their experiences at different supermarkets across Nelson Mandela Bay. Whilst some encountered empty shelves as early as 10:00 in the morning, others had quite a pleasant experience without any hiccups. ) Judith Rotheray said that she couldn’t find any bread, meat, pasta, Royco sachets or tomato paste, just to name a few. “We have always shopped day-to-day, but in light of lockdown, we did stock up on a little more than usual. We still limited our ‘extras’ and will need to take more shopping trips during lockdown for essentials like bread, fresh fruit and vegetables,” she said. She also admitted that shopping for the lockdown period had been terribly stressful. “I feel that we have all been more ex-

posed to Covid-19 in the last couple of days than ever,” Rotheray added. ) Lee Sick also struggled to get all the items she needed, and less than 24 hours before lockdown was to commence, she couldn’t find meat and chicken or even a trolley or basket at Pick n Pay in Walker Drive, Sherwood. “I walked out and so did a lot of other people. I eventually found what I needed at Fig Tree and Sherwood Spars.” ) On the other hand, Sylvia Hutchison said that her shopping spree at Shoprite, Green-

acres, was an absolute breeze, even though there were more people than usual. “All the shelves were stocked and I saw no ‘panic buying.’ The queues were extra-long; we waited approximately two hours or longer, but everyone, the customers and employees, were friendly and helpful. Apart from the long queues, it was my best shopping experience,” she explained. ) Another reader, Gordon Llewellyn, made it clear that the lockdown period would not stop him from doing what he loves most:

having a braai. According to Llewellyn, they bought, among others, additional sugar, rice, pasta, coffee, fruit and vegetables and wood. “I bought wood just in case we have load shedding and I can at least have a braai,” he said with a smile. When he was assured by Annelize Niemand Landaman that there won’t be any load shedding during the lockdown period, he answered with a laugh: “Great news, now I can braai without fear of burning the meat in the dark.”

Tributes for Dr Crystal Watson REPORTER TRIBUTES are pouring in after Dr Crystal Marchelle Watson (57) passed away at her home on Sunday. She battled cancer for the past two years. She was the former director of MTR Smit Children’s home and was respected for the work she did to protect and care for vulnerable children. She was also well-known for the awardwinning air shows, she and her committee held to raise funds for the MTR Smit Children’s Home. As part of her community work, she was also a columnist for Port Elizabeth Express and wrote columns for the Child Matters column for many years. Crystal, who received her doctorate in social work from the Nelson Mandela University, was a former Framesby High School learner. She and her four brothers were orphaned at a young age and were raised by their grandparents. She studied social work and throughout her career worked tirelessly to protect and care for children. Her youngest son, Storm Watson, announced her passing on Facebook on Sunday. In his tribute to his mother he described her as an amazing person who had touched many hearts. “She was a mother to many and a friend to everyone; she always saw the good in every situation, fought a good fight and loved unconditionally. “She will be missed by everyone who knew her. As a family we ask for time to grieve the passing of the most important person in our lives and thank everyone for their messages of condolence. We shall remember Crystal as the wonderful and amazing person we all knew to love,” said Storm. Her long-time friend and neighbour, Gail Brown, said in her tribute on Facebook that Crystal was her inspiration and mentor in many ways. “You only had love and compassion to share with so many people. You were a warrior and fought hard till the end. You touched so many people’s hearts,” said Gail. EP Media regional editor, Bettie GiliomeeRossouw, said she met Crystal about 16 years ago, when she started working at PE Ex-

Dr Crystal Marchelle Watson, who passed away on Sunday. PHOTO: SUPPLIED press. “In this time, Crystal became a close friend of mine. I will remember her for her faith, her positive outlook on life, her fighting spirit and always putting other people first,” said Bettie. “I was privileged to celebrate her last birthday with her and a group of family and friends on February 1, this year. Even on her special day, she made sure that everyone in the room was taken care of. “She had words of thanks for everyone in the room and singled out everyone with a special message. While she was in a tough battle fighting cancer, she held on steadfastly to her faith, and kept on inspiring those around her with her positive outlook on life. “Crystal not only leaves behind a beautiful legacy to her children, but to the hundreds of children she was a mother to in the more than three decades she worked as social worker and later director of MTR Smit,” said Bettie. She leaves behind two sons, Cingean and Storm Watson, a daughter Chanel Flanagan and her beloved grandson, Conrad.

NPO welcomes new CEO

Student to represent SA internationally

REPORTER

IN addition to celebrating their 68th birthday on May 5 this year, local non-profit Community Chest has also welcomed changes from their new CEO, Selwyn Willis, who was appointed in July last year. Community Chest has played a central role in the welfare sector since 1952. Willis has always been involved with charities, be it directly or indirectly. Originally from Cape Town, he moved to Gauteng

in 1991 to start a career as one of the first male flight attendants of colour to join SAA. After travelling the globe for nearly 10 years, he decided to study further and graduated from the Tshwane University of Technology with a degree in versatile broadcasting (cum laude), which saw him enter the world of radio and television. He did regular stints on popular radio stations such as 94.7 Highveld Stereo, Jacaranda FM and Algoa FM. He is now with MannMade Radio. Willis considers himself blessed in so many areas and sees this time as a way of giving back for all the success he has achieved over the years. His regular interactions and close associations with Community Chest and its past directors recently saw him take the reins at the NPO. His vision is to make Community Chest relevant, prominent and a trusted business partner, especially in corporate social investment (CSI) projects. Last year, Community Chest assisted more than 200 beneficiary organisations. Their focus areas are education, health, skills development and community development. According to Willis, “We cannot sit idle while our country is facing incredible challenges with poverty, unemployment and crime. It is incumbent on us as citizens of this country and our civic duty to continue enhancing our communities and restoring hope among our people.”

A STUDENT from Nelson Mandela University has been selected to represent South Africa at the International Model and Talent Association convention that is scheduled to take place in New York from July 19 to 23. The International Modelling and Talent Association (IMTA) is a platform for up-and-coming talent and produces multiple week-long conventions consisting of modelling, acting, singing, song writing and dancing competitions. Siviwe Dyubhele, a first-year humanities student at NMU, is planning to travel to the United States alongside other artists who are also signed with 33 and Me Talent Agency, based in Sandton, Johannesburg. “It has always been a dream of mine to represent South Africa on an international level and I believe that I will be very successful. “I am forever grateful to Elouise Janse van Rensburg and the rest of the management team from 33 and Me Talent Agency for believing in me and my potential for greatness in the entertainment industry.

IMPORTANT NOTICE Respected members of the public Important information regarding unnecessarily increasing YOUR risk: Please ask yourself, where is the first place a genuinely COVID symptomatic patient would go to? GP, casualty, hospital and associated medical departments, they are going to congregate there and for good reason. THESE in effect become the HIGH risk places. UNDERSTANDABLY SCARED, normal public may think they are doing themselves a favor by going to the health sector for screening with: NO or minor symptoms, ACTUALLY increasing THEIR risk and even if infected with minor symptoms (which are the majority of low risk young healthy Corona patients), thus INCREASING the OVERALL risk of the population. If you have no symptoms, take normal precautions like the rest of the public (see extensively publicised guidelines). If you have symptoms, isolate yourself at home and immediately phone the Nation Helpline on 0800 029 999, you may need NOTHING further than isolation depending on your age, health, symptom profile and progress, and your continuous communication with the National Helpline or communication with your doctor.

Fun activities for the family

South Africa is in lockdown because of the national state of disaster due to the global Covid-19 pandemic. So what can parents or caretakers do to keep their children busy during the ‘holiday’ to make sure they still do some learning, while having fun? The PE EXPRESS is here to help with a few activities and learning. Have fun!

Turn busy young minds into busy bees at home REPORTER THERE is a saying that has become truly profound in 2020: “Expect the unexpected. Believe in the unbelievable. Achieve the unachievable.” As the world is faced with the devastation that is Covid-19, one thing is becoming very clear – self-isolation could well stop this highly contagious virus in its tracks. But how do we keep our kids positively engaged during this time?

At READ Educational Trust, they believe the key is to keep enquiring young minds active! For this reason, READ Educational Trust has given parents and children across South Africa access to a series called Busy ‘B’ Home Activities, during the period of mandatory lockdown. Available through links on all their websites and social media pages, the Busy ‘B’ Series is set to help parents keep their children positively engaged at home! Best of all? Every activity is 100% free.

Who is it for? READ caters for children from Grade 4 through to high school. Types of activities include a self-discovery game to stimulate conversation and set imaginations alive; a newspaper race game (great to use the PE Express!); treasures in our lives (encouraging gratitude in our children), and people we treasure; and many more. All the Busy ‘B’ activities are sourced from their hugely successful Readathon Red Reading Box series. Released annually for

the past seven years, the Red Reading Boxes are filled with activities, games and stories to encourage reading skills and literacy. For those parents who would like to find out more about the Red Reading Box series, go to https://thereadshop.co.za/, where they may be purchased. With every literacy product purchased, 100% of profits will be used by READ to further their literacy promotion in disadvantaged communities. ) Visit http://www.read.org.za/busy-beehome-activities/ to download the activities.

Teach children value of working Do home schooling with these resources for money with this fun activity WHY not start home schooling your children to make sure they don’t fall behind with the school curriculum? Here are some very resourceful websites you or your children can use during the lockdown period:

TANYA VAN ZYL I CAME across a cute activity to do with my daughter, Emily (6), during the lockdown period. It was sent to me by my sister, who has also implemented this with her two kids (10 and 3). It teaches them a great value – how to work for money. But for this game, you don’t need to use real money (we’d be broke after the first day!). Rather use something like Monopoly money. If you don’t have Monopoly, you can draw your own money on a piece of paper. First, they receive a list of chores they need to do around the house (clean their room, read a book) and next to the chore you write how much money they will earn if they complete this task. V You can also deduct money for naughty behaviour like being rude or throwing tantrums! Next, you compile a list of all the items or activities they can “buy”. Whether it is chips, chocolate, juice or watching television, they need to pay. V Limit them on the number of times they are allowed to buy these “snacks” as you don’t want unhealthy or sick kids. V Healthy food and water are free, of course. When they have completed a task on the list, they get paid the corresponding amount for the “work” they did. And then they can do their “shopping”. This is really a great game to play. The little ones can’t wait to do their chores to

Also you need to work smart with your money – if it’s done, it’s done . . . then you need to work some more! And it’s no coincidence that reading and doing some school work pays the most.

TWO Woodridge College learners recently had an opportunity to learn from Proteas cricketer Lutho Sipamla at St Albans. The learners were Kuhle Siqwepu, son of the well-known Nelson Mandela Bay businessman, Andile Siqwepu, and Sine Mzondo. According to Sipamla, hard work and discipline pays dividends for the dedicated individual all the time. The Port Elizabeth-born cricketer said, “Enjoy the game, boys. You must work very hard and you must appreciate what is being done for you as sportsmen by your parents and families. “There are other children who would like to be star players but their parents cannot afford to give them the opportunities. “You must also have a passion for sport.” Siqwepu said that they were humbled by the advice from the national team bowler. “His advice really moved us immensely; in so much that Sine and I will do everything to make sure we succeed for our parents and families. Definitely, we are optimistic that we will utilise all the opportunities we have been given to full potential so that we can make our dreams become a reality.” Mzondo said, “We are not going to let our parents and families down but we will raise the bar. We will do all in our power to succeed in sport and in life.”
