t is four in a row and the fifth time in six years that Algoa Toyota Uitenhage was awarded the best small dealership at the annual Toyota South Africa awards evening held recently at Durban International Convention Centre.
“This is a first for Toyota South Africa, where the same small dealership has won the Pyramid of Excellence award for four consecutive years,” said Calvin Parry, Dealer Principal at Algoa Toyota Uitenhage. “It very much is thanks to our customers and the public. Without their support it will not have been possible to achieve this milestone.
“It all is about relationships. We’ve adapted to a new frame of mind, treating our customers as guests. Considering the time you spend at your work, it is your second home. At home you will offer visitors a cup of coffee, chat and when they leave you walk your guests to their car ... it is exactly the same thing here,” said Parry. The Toyota Dealer Awards are based on a comprehensive set of metrics on which each dealer is measured throughout the preceding year. These measurements include customer service, environmental protection, financial performance and vehicle sales. In addition to good relationships, Parry has also encouraged all Algoa Toyota staff members to embrace the Best in Town programme. Algoa Toyota was selected as one of twenty
Toyota dealerships countrywide to be part of this programme. “We look at every function in the business and want to be the best in the town. For example if it comes to coffee, we want to serve the best in Uitenhage, our floors must be the cleanest, and so the list goes on and on. “This is not compared to other dealerships in town, but to be the best of all kinds of businesses in Uitenhage! “It is a matter of Kaizen, a Japanese word for continuous improvement. No matter what you do or how good you are, you can always improve. “The awards are nice to win, but it all is about the reaction that a customer had that you can see and feel. About the thank you, the appreciative Whatsapp messages, the smile
on a face when a customer leaves the dealership, that is what makes a difference in a day’s job,” said Parry. Awards Calvin Parry received the Toyota Pyramid of Excellence award for Algoa Toyota being the top small dealership of the year; Conrad van Rooyen won the Best New Vehicle Department (small dealership) and Myan Maistry won the Best Service Department (small dealership). Dewald Oelofse was the runnerup in the Used Vehicle Department (small dealership). As part of the winning prizes Algoa Toyota Uitenhage’s Parry and his wife will be treated in the Serengeti, whilst Van Rooyen and Maistry will be jetted off to Bali whilst Oelofse will be heading to Zanzibar.

Metro se eerste skenking om diere te steriliseer CARA-LEE DORFLING
Athol Trollip vergader en hul kommer uitgespreek oor die groot aantal diere wat nie gesteriliseer is in die metro nie en die owerhede se hulp gevra. Ná vyf jaar wat dié komiteelede met vorige rolspelers en metro-leiers vergader het en telkens net leë beloftes gekry het, het Trollip onderneem om te help, sê Ferreira. Benewens die metro se samewerking om strenger beheer oor diere uit te oefen het hulle ná die vergadering ’n oproep van Trollip se kantoor ontvang met nuus dat ’n begroting van R250 000 eksklusief vir ’n volskaalse sterilisasie-veldtog toegeken word. “Ons het nooit gevra vir enige geld nie, net strenger toepassing van die regulasie en toe kom die bonus van geld vir ’n sterilisasieveldtog wat absoluut deur die burgemeester gedryf is,” sê Ferreira. Dié vreugde was bykans van korte duur toe die metro se aanpassingsbegroting ter tafel gelê en deur opposisielede afgekeur is.
V
ir die eerste keer in die geskiedenis van die Nelson Mandelabaai-metro het die munisipaliteit geld vir ’n massiewe sterilisasie-veldtog vir diere bewillig. ’n Totaal van R250 000 van die metro se begroting word vir die veldtog om honde in arm gemeenskappe te steriliseer opsygesit. Retief Odendaal, burgemeesterskomiteelid vir begroting en tesourie, sê die bedrag is in die begroting as deel van ’n “spesiale burgemeestersprojek” aangebring. Die projek kom nadat ’n komitee, wat uit lede van die metro se onderskeie dierewelsynsorganisasies bestaan, volhard het in sy pleidooie aan die metro om munisipale wette strenger toe te pas wat die sterilisasie van honde en katte behels. Volgens Marizanne Ferreira, komiteelid, het hulle verlede jaar met burgemeester
Maar ondanks die afgelope week se chaotiese raadsvergadering, waarop opposisielede ’n mosie van wantroue teen Trollip ingedien het, is dié mosie nie aangehoor nie, maar die aanpassingsbegroting is goedgekeur. Vir Ferreira en die komitee beteken dit dat die geld wel vir die sterilisasie-veldtog beskikbaar gemaak sal word. “Die wonderlike nuus is eintlik nog oorweldigend. Daar is nou baie reëlings wat voorlê nadat ons weer met die burgemeester vergader het.” Sy sê die begroting sal die sterilisasie van tussen 700 en 800 honde kan beteken. “My mikpunt is om minstens 1 000 honde te steriliseer. Ons gaan die geld moet probeer rek. “Ek hoop dat die opwinding van die munisipaliteit se hulp, sal oorspoel na van die veeartse en hulle instem om gratis te help,” sê Ferreira.

Metro awarded for outstanding grant spending The outstanding 2016/2017 grant spending performance of the Nelson Mandela Bay (NMB) Coalition Government has contributed in the Metro receiving millions. According to Kristoff Adelbert, NMB Chief of Staff, the NMB coalition government is delighted that its exceptional performance in utilising 100% of their Urban Settlement Development Grant (USDG) has resulted in them being rewarded with a R178 million windfall.
“The new National Treasury policy of punishing under-expenditure of grant funding and rewarding compliant and prudent utilisation thereof is a move that incentivises municipalities to focus spending on underdeveloped communities,” said Adelbert. “This is an endorsement of the excellent work done by this coalition government since coming into office in August 2016.

nancial year, the municipality has been acknowledged and affirmed for our exemplary work with this additional funding for what remains of the 2017/18 financial year. “With a vast capital infrastructure maintenance backlog as a result of poor governance by our predecessors, this additional funding will go a long way to improving the lives of residents living in township communities,” said Adelbert.
THE police have taken a suspect into custody after he allegedly tried to remove roof tiles from a house in Uitenhage, in an attempt to gain access to the property. Fidelity ADT armed response officer Adrian Adams was deployed to investigate an alarm activation in Caledon Street recently. The owner of the property wasn’t at home at the time when the officer arrived at the address in question. “Our officer called for backup before he continued with his perimeter inspection. It was at this point that he noticed two suspects fleeing from the back of the property,” says Ryan Britz, Port Elizabeth branch manager for Fidelity ADT. One of the suspects was apprehended. “It was later found that the suspects climbed on the roof in an attempt to remove the roof plates to gain access into the premis-

This is a trend that we see all too often and residents are encouraged to update their security systems to prevent these break-ins from occurring, by considering the installation of beams as part of their security system,” says Britz, The suspect was handed over into police custody, on a charge of attempted house breaking. - REPORTER
EC dam levels still a serious concern DAM levels in most parts of the country have shown a considerable increase recently, with the exception of the Eastern Cape. According to the Spokesperson for the Department of Water and Sanitation, Sputnik Ratau, the water levels report published by the department last week, the Eastern Cape recorded a meagre 0.1% increase, moving from 66.6% the previous week to 66.7% last week. “This is a clear sign that the province is facing serious drought and dam levels could even drop more drastically due to the changing of seasons.

Impofu Dam is at 38.5% capacity, Kouga Dam is battling a lot and is at 10.9% and Loerie is the only dam with 100.3% last week. The department has appealed to residents of Nelson Mandela Bay and Sarah Baartman municipalities to continue saving water during this period of drought. The Eastern Cape has been declared a national disaster area owing to acute water challenges. - REPORTER

BUSINESS HANDS OUT EASTER TREATS
=Hot cross buns have been baked since the 12th century as a treat in celebrating Easter. The buns are marked with a cross pastry which symbolises the crucifixion of Christ. Easter falls on the first Sunday following the full moon on or after the March (autumnal) equinox - when the sun crosses the equator and when night and day are of equal length - which was the date of Passover. On this date the southern hemisphere starts to tilt away from the sun, signalling the start of autumn or fall. The Van Willing family in Rosedale, Uitenhage, annually prior to Good Friday, treat each of their customers with hot cross buns.

Polisie soek tref-entrap-bestuurder CARA-LEE DORFLING Die Oos-Kaapse polisie is op soek na die bestuurder van ’n blou Volkswagen Up-motor wat glo Sondagoggend in ’n tref-en-trap-ongeluk betrokke was. Rowan de Vos (31) van Gerald Smith-woonbuurt, is Sondagoggend omstreeks 03:00 in Caledonstraat op Uitenhage omgery. Volgens die polisie het ooggetuies beweer De Vos het langs die pad gestap toe ’n blou Volkswagen Up, wat in die rigting van Despatch gery het, hom raakgery het. De Vos is op die toneel dood, sê sers. Majola Nkohli, polisiewoordvoerder. Die motorbestuurder het nie stilgehou nie. Enigeen wat inligting oor die voorval het, word gevra om sers. Aretha Sam, ondersoekbeampte, te bel by 041 996 4500.

Ouers se toestemming nodig vir siektetoetse
R28
Skole kan leerlinge vir dwelms toets sonder die toestemming van hul ouers, maar hulle benodig die ouers se toestemming om leerlinge vir siektes te toets. Paul Colditz, uitvoerende hoof van die Federasie van Beheerliggame van SuidAfrikaanse Skole (Fedsas), sĂŞ skole sal inbreuk maak op leerlinge se privaatheid en liggaamlike integriteit as hulle vir siektes getoets word sonder die ouers se toestemming. Hy het gereageer op die gebeure by die Laerskool Alfonso Arries in Booysenpark, Port Elizabeth, waar leerlinge op 22 Maart na bewering vir MIV/vigs getoets is sonder die ouers se toestemming. Die leerlinge se ouers was woedend daaroor. Volgens â&#x20AC;&#x2122;n voorlopige verslag van die OosKaapse premier is die toetse inderdaad sonder die toestemming van die ouers gedoen, het Netwerk24 Maandag berig. Een van die leerlinge het glo huilend by die huis aangekom en vertel van die toets en dat hy MIV-positief is. Prof. Elda de Waal, onderwysregkenner aan die Noordwes-Universiteit se EduHRight-navorsingseenheid, sĂŞ kragtens die Wet op Nasionale Onderwysbeleid het die departement van basiese onderwys vroeg in 2015 â&#x20AC;&#x2122;n beleid oor MIV, ander seksueel-oordraagbare siektes en tuberkulose (TB) bekend gemaak. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hoewel die dokument verwys na die noodsaak dat protokol met die samewerking van die departement van gesondheid vir die han-
tering van TB ontwikkel word, word niks genoem oor die behoefte aan protokol vir die bestuur van MIV of ouderdomsperke vir vrywillige toetse nie,â&#x20AC;? sĂŞ De Waal. Colditz en De Waal sĂŞ daar is wel duidelike riglyne vir die toets van leerlinge vir moontlike dwelmgebruik. Volgens De Waal behoort skole egter in die algemeen â&#x20AC;&#x153;katvoet te loop met enige vorm van toetse op leerlingeâ&#x20AC;?. Colditz en De Waal sĂŞ daar is ook duidelike riglyne oor die deursoeking van leerlinge vir dwelms. ReĂŤls vir die deursoeking van leerlinge vir dwelms by â&#x20AC;&#x2122;n skool: Luidens die gids vir dwelmtoetse in SuidAfrikaanse skole wat deur die departement van basiese onderwys uitgereik is, geld die volgende reĂŤls: ) Volgens die Suid-Afrikaanse Skolewet het die skoolhoof of sy of haar afgevaardigde die reg om enige persoon op die skoolterrein te deursoek sonder dat â&#x20AC;&#x2122;n polisielid teenwoordig is; ) â&#x20AC;&#x2122;n Leerling kan sonder â&#x20AC;&#x2122;n lasbrief deurgesoek word; ) Dit is baie belangrik dat daar redelike gronde moet wees voordat â&#x20AC;&#x2122;n leerling deurgesoek kan word; ) Redelike gronde kan vasgestel word deur leerlinge en ouers wat die teenwoordigheid van dwelms op die skoolterrein aanmeld, die reuk van dwelms soos dagga en enige ander geldige rede wat agterdog kan veroorsaak; en ) Slegs opgeleide opvoeders wat weet hoe om persone te deursoek, mag leerlinge op die skoolterrein vir dwelms deursoek.
Poor gravel roads - Agri SA go to court Agri Eastern Cape has launched an application in the Supreme Court requesting the Court to compel the Government to fulfil its obligations to maintain and repair the gravel roads which service the rural areas of our Province. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are also requesting the Court to oblige the government to refund the money which numerous farmers have been
forced to spend in keeping various Provincial Roads passable, and to outline the respective rights and duties of the parties in cases of this nature,â&#x20AC;? said Ernest Pringle, Agri Eastern Cape president. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have, over many years, attempted to find amicable solutions to this problem, and have now been forced to resort to stronger measures.â&#x20AC;? - REPORTER
NMU: crucial research on Marion Island NELSON Mandela Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long-term research on King penguins at Marion Island formed part of an international study which predicts that 70% of the sub-Antarctic seabirds could disappear by 2100, as a result of climate change. The study found that warmer sea temperatures are shifting King penguinsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; main food sources further south and, unless the penguins move too, they could starve. â&#x20AC;&#x153;More than 70% of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s King penguin population form breeding colonies on Crozet, Kerguelen and Marion Island,â&#x20AC;? said Nelson Mandela University zoology senior lecturer Dr Pierre Pistorius, one of the coauthors of a paper on the study, which has been published in the prestigious journal Nature Climate Change. Pistorius, who heads the Marine Apex Predator Research Unit (MAPRU) at Nelson Mandela University, said King penguins rely on the Antarctic Polar Front â&#x20AC;&#x201C; an upwelling front in the Southern Ocean, where cold Antarctic and warmer sub-Antarctic water meet, churning up nutrients and attracting enormous amounts of fish â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as their main food source. In the breeding season, parents leave their chicks to swim 350km to 500km to the front, returning days later with food for their young. But warmer seas are shifting the front further south â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and the study predicts that the penguins will have to swim more than 700km, the maximum distance they can travel to find food without compromising the survival of their chicks, due to their own increased energy expenditure. The possible starvation of their chicks could lead to huge population crashes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The front moves from year to year depending on the temperature of the ocean â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and we have already seen impacts in King penguin

numbers in the years it has shifted further away from the breeding sites,â&#x20AC;? said Pistorius. The study says King penguins could save themselves by moving to other islands further south, except they have strict habitat requirements, so a new home might be hard to find. To form a colony where they can mate, lay eggs and rear chicks over a year, they need tolerable temperatures all year round, no sea ice around the island, relatively smooth beaches â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and a food source close by to feed their young. The Polar regions are feeling the impact of climate change the most â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and the Southern Ocean is also subject to commercial fishing. Study co-author and co-supervisor Dr Celine Le Bohec, from the University of Strasbourg in France said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;if we want to save anything, proactive and efficient conservation efforts but, above all, coordinated global action against global warming should start now.â&#x20AC;? - REPORTER

Exhilarating exotics aim at Hillclimb glory In its quest to deliver the ultimate automotive showcase, this year’s Jaguar Simola Hillclimb, scheduled for 3-6 May in Knysna, has raised the bar in the Road Car and Supercar category, which is now dominated by a range of illustrious high-performance car brands. “Our objective is to refresh the line-up for the Hillclimb to provide an exceptional experience for the spectators and competitors,” says Geoff Goddard, the event’s sporting director. The classes catering for standard production, road-legal vehicles have been narrowed for the ninth edition of the Jaguar Simola Hillclimb, with the previous four-cylinder and six-cylinder naturally aspirated categories A1, A2 and A5 being dropped owing to a lack of suitable applications.
Therefore, starting off with Class A3 for six-cylinder turbocharged or supercharged two-wheel drive vehicles, a formidable benchmark has been established with the rapid Noble M400 of Feroz Ebrahim, along with the highly-rated 375 kW Alfa Romeo Guilia QV, driven by Piet Potgieter. As the reigning Road Car and Supercar King of the Hill champion and current record-holder with a time of 43.955 seconds, Reghard Roets will be back to eagerly defend his title in the only Nissan GT-R competing this year in Class A4. “I really enjoyed my first outing at the Jaguar Simola Hillclimb last year, and it was fantastic to win the King of the Hill title,” Roets said. “It’s an amazing event that is extremely competitive, and it’s certainly no walk in
the park as there are a lot of serious cars and drivers out there. “What the Hillclimb lacks in distance it certainly makes up for in intensity, and blasting through the 1.9 km course in just 43 seconds takes serious focus and commitment.” With Class A5 falling away, next up are the normally aspirated V8-powered machines in A6, including a Ferrari 458 driven by Garth Mackintosh. Class A7 will be the biggest and most fiercely contested category, with an almighty battle set to ensue between two of the biggest names in American V8 muscle. Ford Performance Centre’s supercharged Roush Ford Mustang will be going head-tohead against rival Shelby South Africa with its Mustang Super Snake.

Nelson Mandela Bay is deemed as the economic driving force of the Eastern Cape as it continues to boast being the successful host of the only annual Standard Bank IRONMAN African Championships in Africa, making this year their 14th year as hosts. The participants have increased greatly from when it started within the hundreds to now reaching over 2000 athletes, with 40% reportedly from out of South Africa. A thriving sector sought after during the days nearing IRONMAN is the tourism and hospitality section. Some athletes and spectators who come from abroad usually arrive in Port Elizabeth a couple of days or weeks before the actual race begins, which gives a boost to the Bay’s hospitality industry. The additional exploration of Nelson Mandela Bay’s rich culture, wildlife as well as other tourist attraction activities or sites also draw profit to the tourism industry as well. Reflecting in proximity to the benefits of the triathlon within the residents of Nelson Mandela Bay rather than the general economic impact at large, the annual Standard Bank IRONMAN African Championship has had an effect as well. The Siyaphambili Triathlon Participation development programme renders in assisting athletes who come from previously disadvantaged backgrounds with training and being ready and part of the Triathlon. The IRON-
MAN 4 the Kids Charity Trust, which is a nonprofit organisation also supports by raising funds every year that are contributed to the trust which assists less fortunate children. The annual triathlon has also inspired residents to partake or to also contentedly attend as fans and spot favourites, like Odwa Tshambu (22) a resident of Port Elizabeth who is passionate about rugby and sports in general. “It’s big. It’s really big. People from all over attend this event and at times there are big names as well like John Smit who was once the captain of The Springboks who I know has attended a couple of times. IRONMAN truly makes Port Elizabeth trend because there is usually great hype surrounding it” he comments. In September 2017, Port Elizabeth was selected as the host city for the 2018 IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship which is the biggest IRONMAN 70.3 event, set to generate a lot of revenue, which will therefore boost the economy of Nelson Mandela Bay once again. This event will take place later on in the year and is expected to attract a lot more people than what the annual Standard Bank IRONNMAN African Championship usually receives, in return, heightening the economy with not only the Metro but with neighbouring municipalities as well especially when it comes to hospitality. The World Championship will surely place Port Elizabeth on the map on a global scale and give international recognition for further future investments.

Local surfers on winning waves at VW surfing

KAI Woolf of Jeffreys Bay was the standout performer in the Volkswagen Nelson Mandela Bay Surf Pro presented by Billabong in Port Elizabeth over the Easter weekend, clinching both the women’s and junior women’s titles. Another surfer from Jeffreys Bay, Dillon Hendricks, captured the junior men’s crown while David van Zyl (Glenashley) won the men’s event. This was the first of 13 events on the 2018 World Surf League (WSL) Africa regional tour. The Volkswagen Nelson Mandela Bay Surf Pro featured Qualifying Series (QS) events for men and women alongside Junior Qualifying Series (JQS) events for men and women aged 18-and-under. The WSL has been championing the world’s best surfing since 1976, annually running in excess of 180 global events. Woolf (16) was unbeatable in the beach break conditions, winning every heat she contested in both events while racking up double digit heat scores with her impressive repertoire of high performance manoeuvres. In the QS 1 000 women’s event, she defeated reigning WSL Africa champion Nicole Pallet
Volkswagen drives local surfing and surfers forward

Volkswagen South Africa was proud to bring surfing fans the first event in the 2018 City Surf Series, the Volkswagen Nelson Mandela Bay Surf Pro presented by Billabong, as well as the final event in the series, the Volkswagen SA Open of Surfing, coming back to Port Elizabeth in June. Volkswagen South Africa’s remains committed to the City Surf Series first and foremost because of their passion to help drive local surfing and surfers forward. The “People’s Car” with a long-
)GOLF
standing history in the surfing culture believe in the opportunity the series presents to local surfers, giving them the chance to score accredited World Surfing League (WSL) Qualifying Series (QS) points, the log that leads to a spot on the WSL’s Championship Tour. Critical ocean awareness message Amidst cheering on local surfers and displaying the best in surf ready vehicles - such as the Volkswagen California Beach camper van, Caravelle and Transporter
Crew Bus – Volkswagen was also out to drive a critical ocean awareness message. Together with their longstanding partners, the Dyer Island Conservation Trust (DICT), VWSA set up a giant Recycled Plastic Surf Wave for spectators to pose with to highlight the ocean’s plastic waste crisis. Other activities included a kids’ “Trash to Treasure” craft section, a Clean-the-Beach activity and a plastic awareness talk at the Learn to Surf Initiative with Surfing South Africa.
(La Lucia) in the one-on-one final. Earlier Woolf was equally dominating in the four-person JQS 1 000 women’s final. She again posted her best scores early in the encounter, beating the 2017 WSL Africa junior women’s champ, Sophie Bell (Salt Rock). Van Zyl justified his top seeding for the QS 1 500 men’s event in the Bay and was in a class of his own, averaging heat scores of 13.56 (out of 20) during his first event of the year. Ranked No. 67 on the QS at the end of 2017, and No. 2 on the WSL Africa leaderboard, van Zyl in the final opened his account against Adin Masencamp (Strand). He surfed with power and flow to consistently add to his total in the testing conditions and eventually pocketed the R40 000 winner’s cheque and 1 500 precious ranking points. The Volkswagen Nelson Mandela Bay Surf Pro, which is also the first of five events on the 2018 City Surf Series, enjoyed great conditions for Saturday and Sunday before experiencing four seasons in eight hours on the final day. Alongside the red hot surfing action, Surfing South Africa ran activities designed to foster and encourage surfing among young people, regardless of their background.
