Members of the South African Police Service (SAPS) working with Crime Intelligence, the Tactical Response Team, Public Order Police and K9 arrested 18 gang members in Port Elizabeth last Wednesday after aiming to arrest 22 as part of a police operation with the code name “Graffiti�.

According to Provincial Police spokesperson Brigadier Marinda Mills, the following day three more of the targeted suspects were arrested and one handed himself over to the police. “Three more suspects, who were not part of the target, were also arrested - making 25 the number of suspects arrested in the PE area,� said Brig Mills.

Police confiscated a firearm and five rounds of ammunition, 40 Mandrax tablets, 20 bompies of dagga, R130 400 in cash, 24 cell phones, a desktop computer, a laptop, eight USB sticks and two cameras during the arrest. The gang members are associated with three notorious groups known as the Kakmakers, Spotbouers and Paparazzi.

Operation Graffiti was hailed as a major coup by the Provincial Commissioner Lieutenant General Celiwe Binta.

To Lt General Binta, this was a positive move towards cleaning the streets of gangs operating in the Northern Areas of Port Elizabeth. “They manipulate, influence and involve unsuspecting and vulnerable children in their drug peddling activities and turn them into drug addicts,� she said.

While the Lt General urged members of the community to report criminal activities taking place in their areas, Nelson Mandela Bay Municipal spokesperson Kupido Baron commended the police for the arrest of the gang members. “We are very concerned about the levels of lawlessness claimed to be the work of gangsters in the Northern Areas and some parts of Nelson Mandela Bay. “We have seen a couple of assassinations and other activities putting the lives of the lawabiding citizens in danger. We applaud the police for their successes and want to encourage them in their efforts with the help of the communities to rid our communities of such gangsterism and drugs,� said Baron.

According to Brig Mills, eight of the 18 suspects initially arrested were granted R1 000 bail on condition that they remain under house arrest for the duration of the finalisation of their case in court. “Five suspects were found guilty immediately while the other five were denied bail. They will remain in custody,� said Mills, adding that one suspect communicated with the investigating officer and promised to hand himself over to the police.

Housing project almost completed REPORTER

FAIRVIEW Link at Restitution Avenue, has

been inundated with applicants for the affordable housing project which will be ready for occupation at the beginning of April this year.

According to Imizi Housing Utility, who have been instrumental in the construction and running of the Walmer Link project and now the Fairview Link project, they have had over 1 200 applicants to date with many still applying for residence at the Fairview Link social housing project.

Imizi Housing Utility CEO, Thamsanqa Ngcezula, said they have been busy sifting through various applications since late last year and were expecting to have more applicants during the course of the year.

Ngcezula said the housing project is mainly for people earning less than R7 500 and more than R2 500. A total of 30% of the units would be reserved for those people who are descendants of Fairview Land Restitution beneficiaries.

“Social Housing units are of the same quality and standard as the commercial rentals; the only difference is that they are subsidised by government. The perception that

because the rental is low, the quality is low, is in fact wrong,” said Ngcezula.

Ngcezula warned against fraudulent applicants, saying if found they would either be evicted, forced to pay a fine or face jail time.

Monthly rentals are said to range from R581 to R2 250 for a bachelor flat, R631 to R2 250 for a one-bedroom and R657 to R2 250 for a two-bedroom.

The qualifying criteria that an applicant should meet are as follows: . Must be a South African; . Must be a least 21 years of age; . Must not be owning or have owned an RDP house; . Must not own or have owned a FLISP house; . Must never have owned a bonded house or commercial/business property (IMIZI can be flexible on this one) For more information on, or to apply, contact 041-3732194.

“Every year since 2004 we congregate to recognise, honour and reward excellence of outstanding municipalities that made an extraordinary effort to overcome the challenges faced and for stimulating growth and development of our communities,” said MEC for Local Government and Traditional Affairs, Mlibo Qoboshiyane under whose department’s watch the awards are held.

The MEC congratulated the hosts for winning the award and urged all other municipalities to strive for excellence. He said, “The challenges facing local government must never be ignored. We list them alongside achievements because in some instances, it is challenges that open our eyes to existing attempts to derail our focus of building better communities.”

Artist gets one step higher to reaching his dreams LIZEKA TANDWA AFTER years of struggling to get some recognition for his art, a Kwazakhele man said he was ecstatic when Continental Cars bought and now displays his demo 1 series in their dealership.

Leon Vaaltein is a struggling artist who builds and designs replicas of different ranges of luxury cars. Continental cars realised his talent when he brought to them a 1 series model replica which he had built using scrap metal, school textbook covers and recycled materials he found on a dumpsite near his home.

“It’s so refreshing for me to have a company that actually deals with cars applaud my work in this way. Continental Cars has given me a platform which will help me expand and grow my art and by their having the confidence to display my work to the clientele it shows that I am good at what I do,” said Vaaltein.

Vaaltein said his dream was to open up a store where he would impart his talents to young kids in his neighbourhood and also become a recognised car designer. I love designing cars and I have been told that even without

any schooling in the field I have great talent,” said Vaaltein.

Vaaltein said he had approached several dealerships and car manufacturers before landing at Continental Cars and although none had given him a chance he was still determined to follow his dream.

“I just want a chance to sell my work. I will be going to the Grahamstown arts festival and hopefully that will be a platform to get my career in full gear,” said Vaaltein.

BMW Continetal Cars, Alan Kemp, said their customers were amazed at the work that had gone into the design of the 1 Series replica.

“It’s amazing the detail he has put into this car. Our customers have been asking for the replica for their kids and I think it’s great for us to also help artists who are passionate about our cars and designs,” said Kemp.

Kemp said they would in future see into having more of the replicas for every model in their dealership. Vaaltein said he has other replicas such as the Mini Cooper, VW cars and Mercedes Benz. For more information on the cars or to purchase contact Vaaltein on 060 310 7637. – LIZEKA TANDWA

What next for Grade 12s in the Metro?

REPORTER BIG businesses are coming together to ensure that career guidance in the metro is stepped up for the class of 2014 with the 15th edition of South Africa’s most comprehensive career initiative, the Working World Exhibition from March 5 to 7, at the Feathermarket Centre.

“With more and more matric exemptions being achieved each year and the business sector demanding skilled employees, matrics and their families need to think very carefully about their plans after school,” said Andrew Binning, CEO of Inkanyezi Events, which has facilitated the initiative in partnership with VWSA, the NMMU and the Department Of Education for over a decade.

“The key issue for any school-leaver is to gain meaningful employment after training. While increasing numbers of learners are gaining access to University, employers are requiring specialised or technical skills.

“The fear is that school leavers do general degrees with little specialisation rather than skills training, as an example, that would make them far more employable and competitive in the labour market,” Binning said.

Volkswagen SA, Coega , the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality, The Department of Education and Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University will be playing an active role in the event in order to shape thinking.

The initiative, free to all learners, teachers and parents, includes a free career guidance counselling, a seminar on career planning, a curriculum approved, Gr. 12 Life

Orientation text-/workbook and an exhibition.

The exhibition exposes Grade 12 learners to career and study fields across a broad range of sectors, represented by an estimated 100 exhibitors.

Among the features of the intiative, are Coega’s mobile electrical skills training unit and driver training simulator, NMMU’s acclaimed solar car and interactive science displays hosted by SAASTA. Learners will also be able to effortlessly open bank accounts at ABSA’s Branch On Wheels.

Aside from the exhibition area, a leadership seminar, introduced in 2013, for the pupil leadership bodies of schools will take place on Thursday afternoon.

The leadership seminar, which runs concurrently with the exhibition, will be attended by 600 prefects, who will be addressed by business and leadership gurus including Steven Reid, from Raizcorp, which is acknowledged as one of the foremost entrepreneurial development companies in Africa.

Tablets and give aways are up for grabs for those who attend, as well as sponsored exhibition packs, including leadership publication subscriptions.

The exhibition is open from 8.30am to 3pm on each day. Entry is free. An estimated 12000 Grade 12 learners will be attending and the exhibition is open to the public.

Parents are encouraged to come along with their children in order to gain as much as possible from the exhibition.

Educational Trust and Bursary Scheme launched for first -years REPORTER THE Port Elizabeth Land Restitution and Housing Association (PELRHA) recently announced the launch of the Raymond Uren Educational Trust and Bursary Scheme, the first of its legacy projects.

Other projects include the development of a sports complex in Fairview, a Memory Park in Salisbury Park as well as other community development projects.

To ensure that the legacy projects are sustained into the future, two Trusts with interim Trustees have been established. The Raymond Uren Educational Trust will manage and be responsible for sustaining the bursary scheme. The interim trustees are Reginald Jacobs and Rodric Peffer, both recently retired high school principals.

The Fund for the Bursary Scheme will start off with an amount of R25 million. This fund will be managed by Barclays-ABSA

Bank and only the annual interest generated will be utilized for capital growth, bursaries and for the operating costs of the Trust.

“According to the fund managers’ forecast, it would be possible to provide for growth, operating costs and between 20 and 25 bursaries for the 2015 academic year. The average value of each bursary would be R50 000. The focus of the Trust will be to assist first year students,” said Clive Felix of PELRHA. Felix said the bursary scheme is targeting 35 schools of which 16 are in the Northern Areas and 19 are in the Ibhayi Area.

“These schools have been targeted as these are the areas where the majority of the land claimants were relocated too. The success of the scheme is dependent on these schools as they will be required to recommend candidates for bursaries to the Trust.

Felix said an independent panel of educationists will be established annually to do the final assessments and to recommend the candidates to be awarded bursaries.

Missing person

NCEBA DLADLA A DESPATCH taxi driver is expected to appear in the Uitenhage Magistrate Court today, Wednesday 26 February, to face charges of reckless and negligent driving.

According to Uitenhage police spokesperson Warrant Officer Basil Seekoei, the Kamesh SAPS arrested the suspect (30) on Monday after he lost control of the Toyota Quantum taxi he was driving and bumped into a tree on the R75 road in Despatch.

The taxi driver tried to flee from the scene but was quickly arrested thanks to members of the community who were in the proximity.

A few passengers sustained light injuries in the incident and were transported to the Uitenhage Provincial Hospital.

“This serves as a stern warning to taxi drivers who overload taxis, especially those transporting school children,” said Seekoei, adding that members of the SAPS have a zero tolerance attitude to drivers that break the law.

The suspect is expected to appear in the Uitenhage Magistrates Court today on charges of reckless and negligent driving and overloading a vehicle (taxi).

The Eastern Cape Department of Social Development and Special Programmes, Nelson Mandela District, Ibhayi service office, is looking for information on the whereabouts of Nosiphiwo Mzozoyana, who is believed to be the biological mother of the Kuhle Mzozoyana (02/04/2006). The child is currently in the care of Noninzi Nomnqa, who has been taking care of her since 2007.

Anyone who has information about Nosiphiwo Mzozoyana is asked to contact Social Worker, Nombulelo Kleinbooi, at 041 4065721, during office hours (8:00 - 16:30) from Monday to Friday.

‘Happy Boy’ Mashelele to train youth NCEBA DLADLA LANGA Mashelele (44) of Motherwell was one of the best boxers Nelson Mandela Bay produced in the early 1990s.

Work commitments forced him to take his boxing gloves off, but now he is ready to come back to the fisticuffs, this time as a trainer.

He wants to open a gymnasium in his neighbourhood in order to plough back into the sport.

He started boxing as an amateur in 1988 at Save the Children Boxing Club in Zwide under the mentorship of Patrick “Cola” Fulela.

Meanwhile, Mashelele’s move to stage a comeback to the sport has been been regarded as very positive by Nelson Mandela Bay Amateur Boxing Organisation (NMBABO) president Phakamisa Mfama.

“This is a positive move, just at the right time. We welcome his return to the sport as we, working with the Municipality and the Department of Sport, Recreation, Arts and Culture will be launching school boxing in Veeplaas Hall Port Elizabeth today from 10am,” said Mfama.

Mfama added that Mashelele and other interested former boxers were welcome at the event which is part of the efforts to revive boxing in the metro.

The next launch will be held KwaNobuhle, Uitenhage at a date soon to be announced.

Partnership helps pupils in need NCEBA DLADLA THE lives of Kama Primary and Lwandlekazi High Schools pupils in New Brighton have been improved for the better, thanks to a good gesture by Vodacom Foundation.

The foundation last week donated stationery packs to pupils of these two schools. In the packs were a sharpener, an eraser, a pen and a ruler for the lower primary pupils while secondary learners also received Scientific Calculators in their packs.

The visit to the PE schools was part of Vodacom’s national stationery drive worth over R6 million to benefit 60 000 primary school pupils and 180 000 high school learn-

ers from quintile one and two schools.

According to Vodacom Managing Executive: Eastern Cape Region, Carol Hall, the key objective of the stationery drive, was to support the education department in its support of children from disadvantaged communities.

“Our goal is to ensure that the learners throughout the country have access to some of the basic tools to start off the school year,” said Hall.

She said that although Vodacom was involved with various other community upliftment projects, it was the first time that they were delivering stationery to benefit children from disadvantaged backgrounds.

from Kama Primary and Lwandlekazi High Schools respectively thanked Vodacom Foundation for the gesture which came just at the right time.

“The gesture came at the beginning of the year, when the parents of these children were still struggling to buy stationery. Sithi Phambili kuVodacom Foundation,” said an

elated Dlawu. “This is good for our children as well as our teachers. These resources will come in handy, and the timing is right for work to be done. When one thinks about it, most of these children would not afford to have the Scientific Calculators. Sibamba ngazo zozibini kuVodacom Foundation,” an overjoyed Klaas said.

Hectic Nine9 journalist joins CANSA Shavathon LIZEKA TANDWA HECTIC Nine9 citizen journalist on SABC 2 and a PE resident, Lunga Majola, has joined CANSA Shavathon taking place this Saturday at various shopping centres in the metro.

These include Greenacres Shopping Centre, Walmer Park Shopping Centre and Moffett on Main Shopping Centre.

Majola, a celebrity in his own right, having been part of the kids show Hectic Nine9, a freelance writer for a growing house music record label and a DJ/Producer of deep house music, said he felt it was his duty to make sure people are made aware of the right infor-

mation so they can all stand together and support initiatives such as Cansa Shavathon.

“It goes beyond raising money really. The real deal is an understanding of cancer so we can make the right decisions about our lifestyles,” said Majola.

“A friend of mine who is a cancer survivor inspired me to get involved. She underwent chemotherapy treatment last year and of course there were side effects to it so society kind of saw her as ‘that girl with cancer’.

“But she didn’t let that get to her, she continued with school and carried on living her life like she always did and that same determination and will to live and conquer inspired me a lot and made me realise that

there is hope and one doesn’t have to feel like one’s life is over because of cancer,” he added.

For the Shavathon on Saturday, the cost to shave, spray, or donate a ponytail is R50 for adults, and R25 for children under 12 years old.

KwaNobuhle elderly walk for fun and health NCEBA DLADLA THE Social Development Department as well as the Department of Health believe the elderly should do some form of exercise in order to be healthy.

But some gogos and mkhulus in especially our townships are experiencing problems of abuse by members of their own families and especially their grandchildren.

It is under this backdrop that Sandile Konono, a caring citizen and coordinator of the Old-timers Elderly Group organised the elderly in KwaNobuhle, Uitenhage for a Fun Walk last Thursday.

The walk started at Jabavu Stadium to KwaNobuhle Lovelife Centre via Ponana Tini Street.

“A lot of the gogos have gained weight owing to overindulgence and physical inactivity during the December festivities. So we held this Fun Walk to help them exercise a bit,” said Konono, adding that it was for the third consecutive year that they held the event sponsored by 1Life Direct Policy, Ubuntu Funerals, Spar and Shoprite Kitchen.

They invited 1life Direct Insurance Policy brokers and agents to attend and clarify issues for the elderly who were being serviced by this insurance company.

Sandile Konono (seated in Yellow T­shirt) and Xolisile Ngcetshe of 1Life Directs Insurance watch the elderly enjoy a cup of hot soup after the Fun Walk.

UITENHAGE couple Bandile and Lulama Cuntu has donated R5 000 towards bursaries to benefit deserving pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds.

The couple are members of St Thomas Church, a parish of the African Catholic Church in KwaNobuhle, and the bursary fund will be administered by the Church Council.

The couple said in the spirit of being a Brother’s Keeper, they were worried and concerned about their brothers and sisters who were struggling to make ends meet.

They wanted to make a difference in the lives of children who wanted to better themselves through education but lacked the means.

“We share the passion and desire to assist those who are less fortunate. And therefore found it easy to start this bursary scheme for our struggling church mem-

bers whose children want to study but lack the financial resources,” said Bandile, a lay minister in the church and a Transnet employee.

The couple is known for assisting children from the community. Bandile buys school uniforms for five Stephen Nkomo Primary School pupils. Lulama, a mother of three and teacher at Magqabi Primary School, identified a needy child from her school and is assisting him with his educational needs.

“We believe, blessed is the hand that gives than the one that receives,” said Lulama. As a mother and teacher herself, staying in the same township faced with chronic unemployment and abject poverty, Lulama said she understood the need people have.

“We are blessed to have the Cuntus as members of our church.

They are the true givers. And God will continue to bless them,” said Rector Reverend Xhanti Busakwe, urging other members of the community to do the same.

In Motherwell the day before the launch the programme started with a theoretical and practical soccer and life skills course in which 14 local coaches benefited.

According to the event organiser, Daniel Stemmer, the league has touched the lives of more than 30000 children and more than 700 coaches have been groomed and developed from Spur Masidlale (meaning ‘let’s play’).

life-long sports participation with these children.

“Sport is an amazing educational tool for people of all ages and can be used to teach social and life-skills as well as responsibility.

Sport also helps to keep your body healthy and this league helps these kids to realise that learning from others with experience can be great fun, also a huge benefit to them personally. This is exactly what we want to achieve in this project.”

Patrick Mayo, the former South Africa and Kaizer Chiefs utility player, told the kids to take education seriously and to refrain from taking drugs.

The 10 schools which take in the league are Mboniselo, Mpumalanga, Mdengentonga, Melisizwe, Imbasa, Khulile, Redhouse, Enqileni, Enkwenkwezini and Khwezelihle Primary Schools.

All the schools together with coaches were presented with kits by Spur. Motherwell SASFA Schools chairman Siphiwo Mtshingila who was very delighted with the proceedings, thanked all who participated in the launch.

SANABO face stiff Botswana boxing team NCEBA DLADLA THE South Africam National Amateur Boxing Organisation (SANABO) youth and elite male and female teams fought against their counterparts from Botswana in an international friendly at the Jeff Masemola Community Hall, KwaNobuhle in Uitenhage last Saturday.

This was after the SANABO team spent the week in Nelson Mandela Bay for a training camp which SANABO president Andile Mofu said was aimed at assessing the country’s boxing hopefuls against formidable teams from their Botswana neighbours.

“We came here to formalise the partnership we have with the Eastern Cape Academy of Sport for our boxers to get the physical testing and scientific support without which we could not have a proper training programme,” said Mofu.

EC Academy of Sport Manager Herman Terblanche reasoned that the boxers needed education and proper guidance on conditioning, physical fitness, sport science, diet, mental alertness and drug in sport training in order to be in touch with the rest of the world.

According to Mofu, however, the snapshot of the boxers that represented the youth and elite squads, whether they won or lost against Botswana, a good test gave SANABO coaches

and management a sense of the quality of boxers South Africa would be sending to the 2014 Commonwealth games.

“SANABO is using the Commonwealth games as a launchpad for the 2016 Olympics.

It will be a make or break for the 13 SANABO boxers (10 males and three females) we’re sending to represent us,” said Mofu.

Youth Males results: Botswana boxers first:

* Mahommed Otukile beat Edwin Tshabalala on points.

(49kg) * Kutlwano Ogakile beat Luzuko Jonas on points (52 kg) * Ontlogetse Qaate beat Simphiwe Tsewu on points (56kg) * Ame Katlhokofa lost on points to Azinga Fuzile (60kg) * Atany Moseneke beat Sizwe Ngema on points (64kg) * Wame Mathonse beat Anele Hashe on points (69) Youth Females * Koketso Dipogiso lost on points to Nthabiseng Didi (51kg) * Kenosi Keamogetse lost on points to Julienne Smith (60kg)

Elite Females

* Ketshametse Orapeleng beat Bathabile Ziqubu on points (51kg) * Hedda Wolmarans (SANABO) beat TKO1 Thandaza Majanga (ECABO) (60kg)

In the six-bout elite males it was a battle between South Africans as the visitors brought fewer opposition bouts.

Don’t miss next week’s Indaba report for SANABO’s re-admission to the international boxing control body, AIBA.

SANABO’s Azinga Fuzile (right) proved more polished and skilled than Botswana’s Ame Katlhokofa whom he beat on points in the 60kg class.

Metro collect maximum points in SAFA Second Division SELBY MADIKANE SAFA Nelson Mandela Bay flag was kept flying when all its three sides which campaign in the SAFA Eastern Cape Second Division collected three maximum points from their opponents last weekend.

Real City fans were in a pensive mood when their side was made to dig deep by the skilful and gallant Kokstad Liverpool which they overcame 3-2 at Motherwell NU 2 Stadium on Saturday.

Liverpool camped in City’s territory for a long time. Lukhanyo Sheriff Rasmeni put City in a lead of 1-0 when the visitors’ goalkeeper failed

to deal with the cracking shot of Siphelele Gwenu Jonas.

Liverpool replied with the equalizing goal courtesy of Gugulethu Jaku when City goalkeeper Sinethemba Poni failed to communicate with his backline. Both sides went to break with the scoreboard reading 1-1.

In the second half Liverpool kept playing their carpet football causing Real City to chase their shadows.

However, Rasmeni banged in his second goal to put City in a 2-1 lead when Liverpool’s goalkeeper once again failed to collect Gwenu Jonas’ thunderous shot.

City extended their lead to 3-1 when visiting side’s goalkeeper spilled the ball which City’s crowd pleaser Lu

-khanyo Doski Mapempeni slotted it into the back of the net.

Liverpool worked so tirelessly thst their good paid dividends following a goal scored by Vuyisile Jack to decrease their deficit to 3-2.

Highbury managed to go home with 2-1 at the expense of Cacadu United while Morning Stars ended their dismal performance when they thumped Red Stars 3-1.
