Shaw, who was an attorney, passed away in Cape Town following surgery recently. A memorial service was held in Komani on Tuesday. Gunuza-Nkwentsha said this week that “everyone at Enoch Mgijima Local Council is left profoundly sad by the passing of councillor Jerome Shaw. His political work is well known, working as the DA Caucus chairman on the council. His political acumen was a huge asset to both his party and council, with him often having the first word at council meetings raising legal and procedural matters.“ She said he had been committed and worked tirelessly for this community in various capacities. He joined local government politics in 2011 as a propor tional representative (PR) councillor for the DA, serving three m ay o r s during his terms in office, and had been well known and respected in both the Lukhanji and Enoch Mgijima local councils. “He served on the Administration and Human Resources Standing Committee from 2011 until the end of his first term. He also served on the Corporate Services Committee from August last year. His passion, commitment and dedication will be missed.” She expressed the council’s sympathy to his children, Matthew, Gerald and Michelle, and his sisters, Mary and Bernadette. “We thank the Shaw family for sharing the most important person in their lives with us and the community as a whole.“ WARDING OFF THE WINTER CHILL: New Rest Neighbourhood Watch members, back, Elton du Preez and, front from left, Dhivea Govender, Susan Wyngaardt, Jolene du Preez, Warrant Officer Heidi Nel, Teddy Govender and Leezil Walker participated in a soup kitchen which fed about 200 children and 100 adults in New Rest as part of the 67 Minutes campaign on Tuesday Picture: SUPPLIED Aviation Camp inspires local youths THE Siyandiza Aviation Camp, hosted by the South African Air Force (SAAF) in partnership with Denel in Komani, will draw to a close tomorrow. The “Young Falcons” camp, hosted at the Gali Thembani Centre, is the only one in the Eastern Cape and has been supported by the Chris Hani District Municipality. Similar camps are being hosted in Limpopo, North West and Mpumalanga. The main objective of the camps is to educate and teach mathematics and physical science and introduce pupils to the aviation fraternity. Pupils must be studying both mathematics and physics at school as a prerequisite for acceptance. In a statement, the SAAF indicated that it was working towards support of the National Development Plan in ensuring that pupils from all walks of life have access to practical tools that make maths and physics exciting. “This is essential because this country needs youth that is equipped in maths and physics for aviation, engineering, innovation and whatever science-related specialty to address research and development, employment creation and economic t ransformation.” About 142 pupils from the Eastern Cape have attended the local camp with mentors from SAAF and Denel teaching the pupils about military skills, maths, physics and life skills. – Rep reporter BRIGHT FUTURE: The Siyandiza Aviation Camp draws to a close in Komani tomorrow Picture: SUPPLIED WE’VE GOT THIS!
