Fears over serial killer after murder of women NCEBA DLADLA
M months.
EMBERS of the community in Motherwell fear that there could be a serial killer in their midst after three women were brutally killed in the last few
The recent bludgeoning to death of single, domestic worker Khulukazi Nogaya (57) of Mpofu Street, NU1 Motherwell has called members of the community into action. Khulukazi’s body was found under the bridge near the corner of Ndlovu and Mpofu Streets last Friday evening. She suffered serious head injuries. According to her younger sister, Zukiwe Nogaya (42), who lives in NU7 also in Motherwell, Khulukazi accompanied her twin Ncincikazi, who stays in Kamvelihle, after they watched the SABC 1 Soapie “Generations” on the fatal Friday. “It was just before 9pm when I arrived and found that Khulukazi was not at home. I phoned her and her cell phone rang unanswered. Then I phoned Ncincikazi and she told me Khulukazi had accompanied her home but had not returned home,” said Zukiwe. “We were also concerned that her phone rang unanswered. This was not usual,” she said. They started to search for her and while looking in the vicinity of the bridge they heard the voice of a woman in excruciating pain. “It was Khulukazi,” said Zukiwe sobbing. The Police and an ambulance were called, but Khulukazi died en route to Dora Nginza Hospital. According to the police she had head injuries from what is believed to be a sharp object. At the time of going to print the police were still awaiting the results of a post mortem to determine the cause of death and whether Khulukazi was raped before her gruesome attack. Church leaders Reverends Mzolisi Kongwana, Freeman Bhola and Bishop Dikana together with members of the SAPS, Community Police Forum and residents held a prayer meeting at the scene where Khulukazi’s body was
found. The cleric admonished the killer in his absence and prayed that he gave himself up to the police to face justice. “This was the most gruesome attack on a woman, and this during national Woman’s Month. In addition it is the third time a woman’s dead body has been found in this area in only a few months. Do we have a serial killer
here?” asked Kamvelihle CPF Chairperson Roger Vazi. Vazi vowed that they were not going to rest until the murderer was finally brought to book. “We are here to work with you. Please come and report any information you may have to the police,” said Warrant Officer Somana, a sector Management Officer. Somana urged members of the community
and local structures to be vigilant against drug abuse and crime that is ravaging the communities. Police spokesperson Warrant Officer Dumuile Gwavu said a murder case was opened for investigations. He did not want to confirm whether the three deaths were related or whether police were suspecting that it is the work of a serial killer.
Pointing at the scene where Khulukazi’s body was found is her sister Zukiwe with metro church leaders and the police.

A day of pampering for burn victims
LIZEKA TANDWA
AFTER years of living with scars from the tragic burns they suffered to their scalp and face, two young girls were given a day of pampering with a full day spa and hair treatment at a local salon. Bonile Temile (7), and eight-year-old Thandiswa Phillip were ecstatic to finally have their hair extensions courtesy of Smile Foundation after months of reconstructive surgery. The two girls have been living with burns from their scalp and face for over three years, with little hope of ever getting their dreams of having hair extensions. Phillips’s mother, Joyce, said her daughter had been living a sad life after her accident which left her with both her face and hair burnt. “She has been dreaming of having hair ever since her accident in 2010. My child has been living in the shadows and it was painful to watch her go through this ordeal. This day will give her the confidence she needs,” she said. Living in Addo, Phillip was so extensively burned when a pot of burning oil fell on her head that she was left bald. After several reconstructive operations she had some hair, but her dream was to have long braids. She told Provincial Hospital’s plastic surgeon, Dr Chris van der Walt, of this dream and through the Smile Foundation, he has made it a reality. An emotional Temile, who was left with a portion of hair after a petrol light was thrown in her face,said she was overjoyed and thank-
ful to van der Walt for making her dreams come true. “I want to show my friends my new hair. I am so happy,” said Temile. Temile’s aunt, Nozuko,said,“She has been through a lot of grief and anguish since this horrific ordeal. This child would come back from school crying because the kids were making fun of how she looked. She really is a wonderful child and she deserves this make-over. I want to thank this organisation for making her smile and feel beautiful again.” During Smile Foundation’s 13 years of existence, Vodacom has donated over R14 million and supported over 500 children through the Smile Week’s model. This last week 30 children received facial reconstructive surgery. Operations Executive Director of Smile Foundation, Moira Gerszt, said,“Smile Foundation continues to offer children support in any way that may be identified, by the surgeon, by the sister in charge, by a psychologist, or if the need is requested by the family or the child. If it is appropriate we will strive to make a difference in the child’s life and offer a chance to develop a more positive self-image and confidence. This Smile Week is no different, where together with Vodacom,we look to offer the patients in the Eastern Cape a chance to smile.” Van Der Walt said through Smile Foundation both kids would be able to receive more reconstructive surgery. After their salon day, the two girls were treated to a party hosted at the Provincial hospital.

‘Show us the money’ say library workers LIZEKA TANDWA
DESPITE an agreement being reached be-
tween the municipality and library and traffic administration employees that will see them upgraded with four notches on their current grading, these workers have vowed to remain on a go-slow until they receive the increased salaries in their bank accounts as promised. Trade union Imatu Chairperson, Chris Haye, said they had reached an agreement with the municipality, subject to council approval, for all library and traffic administration workers to be given four notches on their current salary grade by the end of the month. This agreement was to be tabled at an emergency council meeting for approval
yesterday. Details of this meeting were, however, not available at the time of PE Express going to print. “The Mayoral committee met our members last week Thursday when we concluded our negotiations.” Haye said he presumed that the go-slow would however, continue until workers received their salaries as promised but emphasized that it was an unprotected strike. “There have been a lot of empty promises that have made our members sceptical of the municipality. Our members did not receive their promised increase last month; this made them wary of the municipality’s intentions. “Members say they have no intention of opening doors until the agreement has been signed off by council,” said Haye. Haye said they would consult members
after council approved the agreement, urging them to deliver services as soon as possible. He had no accurate way of telling by how much the salaries would increase by. “I cannot say how much money they are currently earning. The workers are graded differently making it impossible to say off the top of my head how much they earn,” he said. Port Elizabeth NGOs said the strike may have a damaging impact on the up-coming matric exams. NGOs who work with schools and libraries said they had been under huge strain since the strike commenced. Fundisa Primary Fund (FPF) who work with disadvantaged schools in the townships say they will now start with their afternoon classes to help kids who cannot
gain access to the internet and libraries with their studies. “There is a dire need for libraries,and kids from townships only have the space libraries afford them to get more time to study and form study groups,” said FPF member Tutuzela Balintulu. “We have decided to begin our afternoon classes to help with this crisis,” said Balintulu. Friends of Linton Grange Library spokesperson, Joan Marriner, said, “This strike comes at the worst time when kids need to outsource books and get a space to study outside of school. This strike puts a huge strain on our work.” Marriner said they worked with the libraries in sourcing out books and helping to raise funds to get more awareness on the importance of literacy.
Donation gives kids with face deformities lots to smile about NCEBA DLADLA VODACOM donated R1,5 million as part of a Smile Week project to help 30 Port Elizabeth children with facial anomalies get operations. The 2013 Smile Week Project was held at the PE Provincial Hospital last week where
the donors met the recipients and their proud parents. “We are here to witness the experience of those whose lives we have changed through our contribution and are happy to see the faces of their parents,” said Vodacom’s Chief Officer of Corporate Affairs, Maya Makanjee. Since the start of their partnership, now valued at R14 million, the Smile Foundation
and Vodacom have made a change in the lives of over 500 children – children who would otherwise not be able to afford these operations. Makanjee said that they also assisted hospitals with backlogs, encouraged skills transfered and offer psychological support before and after the surgery. “Smile Foundation continues to offer chil-
dren support in any way that may be identified, by the surgeon, by the sister in charge, by a psychologist, or if the need is requested by the family or the child. If it is appropriate we will strive to make a difference in the children’s lives and offer them a chance to develop a more positive self-image and confidence,” said Smile Foundation Operations executive director Moira Gerszt.
We meet our readers: learners focus on better life through education NCEBA DLADLA THREE Douglas Mbopha Senior Secondary School learners Bukiwe Ngule, Yolokazi Qomo and Asavela Sambu want to study and become successful in life.

The trio from Motherwell who are in Grade 9, already see the dangers of poor or no education at all and thank their parents for making sure that they get their constitutional right to education. “I’d like to become a social worker,” said Ngule (15), adding that she would like to
help orphaned and vulnerable children get housed in warm and comfortable homes. With so many people in the country who are ill, Qoma (15) said she wanted to become a doctor to help them like Dr Oz, referring to the medical doctor whose programme she watches on SABC 3. “Of course I’d also like to start my own business. There’s nothing wrong with a doctor who owns a business,” said Qoma with a chuckle. “I am going to be a soft-ware engineer,” said Sambu (14) who claims to have a softspot for Information Technology (IT).

Learners’ research shows that solar energy has its own challenges NCEBA DLADLA LEARNERS of a Motherwell school in Port Elizabeth made a discovery that showed that Nelson Mandela Bay residents still have a long way to go before they could be satisfied with their alternative energy use. At a time when South Africans are urged to save electricity by finding alternative energy means, it seems solar energy has its own challenges. Dumani Primary School pupils in Motherwell recently embarked on a research project as part of their eco-schools campaign to check the effects of alternative energy usage. And they found challenges, according to Wessa’s Pearl Jonas. “Learners from Grade 5 and 6 together with their educators visited houses that are in the vicinity of their school to find if and how they are benefiting from the installation of solar geysers,” said Jonas. They visited a total of 25 households for the survey. According to their survey, some residents were not happy at all about the solar geysers.
“Mrs Gqwetha, who is staying with five grandchildren in a four-roomed house, complained that her water bill had sky-rocketed ever since the installation of the solar geyser and that her ceiling was always wet,” said Jonas. Municipal spokesperson Mthubanzi Mniki said the most common problem with solar geysers was the leaking of water that is overflowing. This was found at the houses whose geysers were installed in the First Phase, according to Mniki. “The contract was signed with the understanding that the maintenance would be for a period of 10 years, excluding malicious damage,” said Mniki. Michael Dyosopu, a Motherwell resident found the solar geysers to be “a toothache” whereas Buyile Tom represented residents who were happy about the solar geysers. He said, “If the weather is warm and sunny during the day, the (warm) water lasts until the next morning.” “Without the sun, you wait for warm water until the next day,” said Dyosopu. Residents who need to report faults can do so by phoning 0 079 835 8077.
Research done by school pupils show that solar geysers come with their own challenges. PHO

New lodge at Dora Nginza helps parents of young cancer patients NCEBA DLADLA THE CHOC Lodge is now open to the mothers of cancer patients who are admitted into the Oncology ward at the Dora Nginza Hospital in KwaZakhele, Port Elizabeth, thanks to the massive sponsorship from the Discovery Algoa FM partnership.

Discovery and Algoa FM raised funds through their annual 2012 Big Walk and 2012 Urban Run to benefit CHOC who wanted to build the CHOC Paediatric Oncology Ward. “Previously parents had to wait in the cold early morning, from as early as 4am, for the hospital to open to ensure that they were first in the queue to get treatment otherwise they had no transport fees to go home and return the next day for a subsequent visit to the doctor upon request. Now this has changed,” said CHOC PE Branch Manager Charmaine Vosloo.
The CHOC Lodge is a 27-room facility on the Second Floor of Building K at the hospital and can accommodate 11 teenagers and their moms together with 16 toddlers and their moms. It has a complete kitchen, laundry, entertainment and bathroom facilities. Security of the facility is ensured with burglar guards, CCTV cameras, a lodge manager and a relief manager. Judy Foster, Head of sponsorship at Discovery said they were cognisant of their responsibility to the broader society and the ability to impact positively on the lives of the people beyond their members. Algoa FM Managing Director Dave Tiltmann said more was still needed. “Even though the lodge is fully operational now, they still require almost half a million rand to maintain the lodge annually. For this reason, we have decided to make CHOC PE the beneficiary for the 2013 Discovery Algoa FM Big Walk,” said Tiltman.
Ellies delivers 1 000 blankets to needy schools NCEBA DLADLA ELLIES (PTY) LTD donated 1 000 blankets to Port Elizabeth schools last week as part of its Corporate Social Investment (CSI) Project. Schools from the townships and Northern Areas that work with Wildlife and Environmental Society of South Africa (WESSA) benefited from Ellies’ good gesture which is part of their national project to donate 25 000 blankets. “In our attempt to save the destitute members of our communities, especially children who could be suffering through climate change, we handed out 1 000 blankets to the needy schools as identified by WESSA,” said Sanet De Lange, Ellies (PTY) LTD Human Resources Manager. She said they chose WESSA because they
deal directly with schools around issues of climate change, among other programmes. Wessa is working with schools in Zwide, Kwazakhele, Motherwell and New Brighton as well as in the Northern Areas of Port Elizabeth. “We identified Khulile primary where the hand over was done and included Vukanibantu, Mzimhlophe, eNqileni, eNkwenkwezini, Charles Duna, Dumani, Gelvandale and Triomf Primary schools in the Bethelsdorp area,” said Pearl Jonas, Wessa’s Snr Education Officer. Jonas added that schools were hand-picked in terms of their needs. According to Jonas, Wessa’s partnership with Ellies stemmed from a joint interest in protecting the environment. Ellies’ renewable energy division is providing green energy solutions for the South African market.

According to James Norman, he and fellow students Layla Hanif, Josianne Slinger, Poppy Ravan, Jack Obrien and Lucy Whitear, wanted to make a difference in the lives of the staff and pupils of this Motherwell school which have few resources. Norman said that Mboniselo Primary
School’s staff showed that they imbued the spirit of improving the education of less fortunate pupils. “The staff of this school is very enthusiastic and conscientious. They are productive and are very cordial. The learners are willing to learn and they are obedient,” said Norman. Mboniselo Primary School Principal Thembalethu Hopa, expressed his gratitude to the Reeds College students for giving the school a new lease on life. “We are a school which has no resources. I am very overwhelmed and the Reeds College students have helped us a lot,” said Hopa.
Bookweek: Author hosts Wordathon for inmates in prison REPORTER AS part of the National Bookweek events at Red Location Museum, inmates will also benefit through a visit and donations by an author who invented a word building card game. Academic author and inventor of Word Play I, Johan Schronen, has been invited to
host an inter-school word building contest as an official National Book Week’s event. Schools in Port Elizabeth will be competing against each other in a Wordathon from tomorrow (Thursday) until Saturday at Red Location Museum. Schronen developed the game in 2009 from an idea he had to create a simple, easy to play card game to promote literacy, develop vocabulary, spelling and grammar skills’ es-
pecially in disadvantaged areas where resources are scarce. “I came up with a game that has few rules, combining rummy, scrabble and crossword. Oxford University Press agreed to produce the game and today it is distributed to schools across South Africa,” said Schronen. Also on the agenda for Schronen is a visit to the St Albans Prison where inmates will
be shown how to play the game. Dictionaries and Word Play card packs will be donated to the prison for the use by inmates. The initiative aims to promote literacy and celebrate reading and is the result of a partnership between the South African Book Development Council, the Department of Arts and Culture and the Department of Correctional Services.

Cikizwa Saul from New Brighton in Port Elizabeth. I was diagnosed with asthma and tonsillitis when I was twelve years old. In 2009 I started experiencing backache and headaches and was later diagnosed with high blood pressure. I went to the clinic for treatment but in 2010 I overheard people in the taxi talking about Gotha products. I stopped the taxi at the Pick n Pay centre and bought Gotha spray and sprayed it on my back and rubbed it in. I also sprayed it in my mouth. At home I washed my swollen feet and sprayed my feet. Within three days I experienced no more pains and my blood pressure was normal. I advise people to buy Gotha products. They are excellent products and you will see the results. Go forward Gotha Health. I am Siphe Mfihlo from Whittlesea (Queenstown) now residing at Orange Farm (Gauteng) My situation was beyond redemption before I learned about Magogotha health products. I had exasperating stomach problems, my face was covered with something like dandruff, which was embarrassing to appear in public. I read about this Gotha health product in a newspaper and visited one of their stores where I bought Ostrich Oil Soap, Re-gen Skin Cream and Herbal Tea blend. I utilised this product for a while and within three weeks there was a massive change in my body and to my face. I value the product and I recommend it to the nation or for everyone with the same problem. Thank you for making a difference in my life and keep up the good work and for making us proud of your Gotha products.
My name is Siqhamo Mnyazi. Last year I injured my shoulder when I was playing football with friends. I experienced a lot of pain; I couldn't even sleep the first night. My radio was on Umhlobo Wenene FM and I heard about the Gotha Health products. I went to the pharmacy to buy the Magogotha twin pack. I used the Aloe spray regularly on my shoulder. It was unbelievable. Just 3 weeks and I was healed. I will suggest the Gotha products to any person with a sport injury. Gotha products work 100%. I recommend the Gotha product, thank you GOTHA HEALTH.
My name is Vuyiswa Gwaqu from Siya Street, Joe Slovo in Port Elizabeth. One day I was cleaning my yard, when I felt a sharp pain in my spinal cord. The doctors diagnosed me with stress, arthritis and tonsillitis. It was very painful. I heard people talking about Gotha Products on the radio and early the next morning I took a taxi to a Gotha shop in the Pick n Pay centre. I bought a Twin Pack and Aloe Spray. I used the products and after just two weeks I could see the improvement. Then my husband passed away and I didn't have enough money to buy the products. It was a very stressful time, but then I bought the Herbal Tea blend and the stress was gone. Forward Gotha! Forward. Carniboost + Hypermag - Twin pack is a
combination of Magnesium and L-Crnitine. Magnesium is an essential mineral for staying healthy, it improves muscle function and prevents insomnia, constipation, heart attacks, hypertension and migraines.

Eunice Tokwe from Kwazakhele in Port Elizabeth. Previously I had a job in a restaurant, but had to stop working due to my knee problem and high blood pressure. I couldn't walk for long distances and it was difficult to stand for any length of time. As time passed I heard people on the radio speaking about Gotha Twin Pack. I visited one of their branches in Dasi, accompanied by my grandchildren. They had to carry me to the top of the stairs. I bought the Twin Pack and Aloe spray. I drank the tablets and drops in the morning and applied the spray to my knee. I have been using Magogotha products now for five years and honestly, I can walk again without any assistance and I have no more pains in my knee. I do all the cleaning at home myself and there is nothing I cannot do. Furthermore, my sister had blisters on the back of her ear. I also gave her Gotha spray. Within seven days my sister was completely healed and the blisters disappeared. When I go for checkups even my high blood pressure is normal. I will use Gotha Products till the end of my life.
My name is Tornado Khetho from Lusikisiki in Ngobozana location. I injured my knee playing football with some of the guys in my community. I heard about Gotha Health.

Sport is key to fighting crime THAMSANQA MBOVANE SPORT is key to fighting crime. This was the message given at the launch of “Sports against Crime” by Morning Stars Football Club, Kwazakhele Community Policing Forum (CPF) and the South African Police Services (SAPS). The three parties last Thursday afternoon launched the initiative and signed a memorandum of understanding at the Zwide stadium. The event was attended by Mayor Ben Fihla, police members, school children from Kwazakhele High, Kleinskool 28 Boys’ Brigade and drum majorettes. Mayor Ben Fihla called on all residents to come together as one community to achieve a maximum partnership in the fight against crime. “We believe that sport
can help in the fight against crime by involving the youth to be actively involved in sport rather than indulging in criminal activities,” said Fihla. Speaking at the event, Warrant officer Thembi Gwe of the SAPS said, “We have joined forces in an effort to curb crime which is prevailing in Kwazakhele Township area. We hope that this initiative will assist us to fight crime at all levels.” Advocate Fezile Gaushe, who is the legal representative of Morning Stars FC, said he preferred to speak the language that the youth understood. “When we speak to the youth, we must speak their language so that we can be at the same level in addressing their challenges.” “Without our youth being encouraged to take part in sport, we have no future leaders. We are hoping to rope in as many youths as we can in sporting activities.”

‘Lily’ Xotyeni could be the first NMB woman to fight for SA Boxing title NCEBA DLADLA WOMEN’s boxing is gaining much ground in South Africa and Nelson Mandela Bay refuses to be left behind. Among many of both the male and the female rising stars in metro boxing, one is Nomampondomise Xotyeni of KwaNobuhle in Uitenhage. Xotyeni, better known as Lily to boxing fans has been identified by Boxing South Africa (BSA) Director of Operations Loyiso Mtya as one of the boxers to watch in her Junior Welterweight division. Lily is rated at No. 2 in South Africa. She has two wins in three professional fights and is hoping to win the national crown before the end of the year. “I am looking at facing SA champion No-
mandithini Ndyambo of East London any time and I believe I can whip her,” said Lily. Her Manager at Silondokuhle Boxing Club Mlawuli Nawule interjected, “In fact Loyiso (Mtya) advised us to take just one more fight before we could challenge for the national crown. That we’ll do soon before we face the champion towards the end of this year.” Sisonke Senior Secondary School Grade 10 learner Xotyeni who aspires to study Sports Management after matric, started boxing in 2003. In her last bout as an amateur Lily gained a lot of experience in a fight against Germany’s Janina Bonorden which she lost on points in Motherwell. After about 20 amateur fights she turned professional and fought against Asandiswa Mancapa, Thulisa Zwengu and Nozipho Bell.

Successful Provincial Boxing Indaba discusses the future of boxing NCEBA DLADLA
MEMBERS of the Eastern Cape boxing frater-
nity and Boxing South Africa (BSA) licensees and members of the SA National Amateur Boxing Organisation (SANABO) held a very successful two-days Provincial Boxing Indaba at Mpekweni Resort in Port Alfred on Friday and Saturday last week to discuss pertinent issues that affect the sport. Boxing licensees including boxers, managers, promoters and ring officials, BSA,
SANABO and the Department of Sport, Recreation, Arts and Culture (DSRAC), EC Sports Council officials and boxing veterans held very good discussions about the development of the sport under the theme: “Galvanising the future of boxing for the boxer” in preparation for the National Boxing Indaba to be held in Pretoria on the 27 to 28 September. The NBI was called by Minister of Sport Honourable Fikile Mbalula to deliberate on effective and efficient good practices that will improve the administration, governance and regulation of amateur and professional boxing.
The PBI also introduced the newly appointed and first female BSA Board Chairperson Ntambi Ravelle who is expected to steer the ship and bring back boxing’s lost glory days. Ravelle gave an input in the deliberations on marketing and promotions of boxing. “There were very good discussions, all in the spirit of goodwill. Topics under discussion like the SA Combat Sport Bill called on people to start applying their minds now,” said MEC for Sport, Recreation, Arts and Culture Hon. Xoliswa Tom. According to the MEC, the province will go
to the NBI with a strong case and a clear direction. She was quick to add, however, that the PBI was not only about preparing for the NBI, but for development of the sport in the province that used to be known as the Mecca of Boxing. “There is also a need for boxers to be continually empowered and capacitated with skills and knowledge, as knowledge is power,” said MEC Tom. “It was a good Indaba in that we managed to make our issues as ring officials known and we’re hoping those will be addressed,” said Namhla Tyuluba of East East London.
