Kicking up a stink 

Discharge permit, ‘flawed’ 

marine outfall a big concern 

MADELEINE CHAPUT 

AFTER years of illegally 

discharging raw sewage 

into the Hood Point, West 

Bank surf line, the Buffalo 

City Municipality (BCM) have 

finally, in July this year, been 

issued with a pre-compliance 

letter from the department of 

environmental a f fa i r s . 

The letter urges BCM to comply with 

the National Environmental 

Management: Integrated Coastal 

Management Act by applying for a 

coastal waters discharge permit. 

DA executive committee member 

Neil Smith has corresponded 

tirelessly with the department of 

environmental affairs coastal and 

marine division on this issue, often to 

no avail. 

“We ’ve asked them to produce a 

permit that they should have issued 

to BCM many times, and they’ve so 

far, failed to do so. Why was BCM not 

issued with a non-compliance notice 

previously, and if they were, then why 

did they continue with this discharge 

into the surf line?” Smith said. 

The latest issue regarding the Hood 

Point marine outfall is the current 

Environmental Impact Assessment 

(EIA) in progress to construct a 1.4km 

deep water offshore marine outfall 

pipeline. 

Put forward as a solution to the raw 

sewage being pumped into the surf 

line/sea, the proposed pipeline will 

be extended from the existing valve 

chamber and allow effluent to be 

discharged offshore or deeper into 

the sea. 

The EIA for the marine outfall, 

however, is fatally flawed for a 

number of reasons and has very little 

prospect for success. 

Among the many issues regarding 

the proposed pipeline is the increase 

in severity and frequency of storm 

surges through climate change. 

These storm surges and swells 

could easily mean that sewage will be 

washed up on the coast of East 

London, polluting all ecosystems 

including people using the coastal 

area for recreation and the adjacent 

marine protected areas 

“A major concern is also the 

management of such infrastructure 

by BCM. Given the track record of 

BCM, evidenced by the infrastructure 

collapse seen around us, we have no 

confidence that the municipality will 

manage this marine outfall project 

adequately to prevent major pollution 

events and a total failure of the 

s y st e m , ” said Smith. 

“The discharging of raw sewage 

into the surf line at Hood Point is a 

further indication of this. The current 

treatment works at Hood Point were 

also allowed to deteriorate into a 

state of complete disrepair.” 

East London Museum scientist 

Kevin Cole added that there seems to 

be a direct correlation between the 

diseases picked up by certain marine 

mammals and the level of sewage 

pollutants in coastal waters. 

“The sewage pumped into the 

ocean is definitely contributing 

negatively to the wellbeing of some 

dolphin species. They already have oil 

spills and ships to deal with, we don’t

need to add more pollutants to 

marine life,” said Cole. 

According to Cole, a more viable 

solution would be a land-based 

sewage works. One of the reasons for 

this being the ability to treat the 

sewage water and recycle it with a 

land-based mechanism. 

Despite being on the coast and 

receiving more rainfall than inland 

areas, Cole insists that East London 

needs to become more waterwise as 

water is and will continue to be a big 

challenge for South Africa. 

“Even recycling sewage water into 

grey water for inland agriculture can 

have lasting beneficial effects,” said 

Cole. “It’s surprising that the 

proposed pipeline is still being 

considered as an option, because of 

the various detrimental effects it can 

have – not to mention the major 

compliance and regulation issues 

which still persist.” 

The high costs associated with a 

land-based sewage treatment plant 

seems to be the reason for BCM’s 

disregard for such a project. 

A Daily Dispatch report in July last 

year (BCM’s R1.4bn sewer upgrade) 

stated the West Bank Treatment 

Centre will be upgraded at an 

estimated cost of R53-million. 

On June 29 this year, a GO! photo 

showed a high-ranking delegation 

from BCM in a visit to the Hood Point 

Sewage Works renovation site in 

West Bank. Mayor Xola Pakati was 

among the delegation and it showed 

that work had started at the plant. 

BCM had not responded at the time 

of going to print.

Sundale gives CHOC 

kids big energy boost 

Dairy to donate 

products to help 

their recovery 

SUNDALE Free Range 

Dairy has committed 

to providing the East 

London branch of 

CHOC (Childhood 

Cancer Foundation) 

with a regular supply 

of dairy products to 

aid the recovery 

process of children 

undergoing treatment. 

Cancers in children 

tend to be different 

from those found in 

adults, most often 

occurring in the 

developing cells like 

bone marrow, blood, 

kidneys and nervous 

system tissues. With 

some exceptions, 

childhood cancers 

tend to respond better 

to treatments such as 

chemotherapy and 

children’s bodies tend 

to cope better with 

chemotherapy than 

adults’ bodies. 

Eating the right 

foods can help reduce 

the side-effects 

associated with 

chemotherapy, boost 

the immune system 

and speed healing. 

Yoghurt is a good 

choice of food to eat 

after chemotherapy for 

several reasons. The 

Cancer Cure 

Foundation states that 

yoghurt is mild and 

bland so it may help to 

reduce nausea. It also 

contains protein and 

calcium, which helps 

keeps bones and

First East Londoner to win Ms Africa 

THANDEKA NTLONTI 

HELPING OTHERS: Newly crowned Ms 

Africa 2018 is East London-born Angie 

Bryant Picture: K&K PHOTOGRAPHY 

EAST London born beauty Angie 

Bryant made Buffalo City proud when 

she walked away with the title of Ms 

Africa 2018 at the Buffelspoort Resort 

in the North West recently. 

Bryant, who was raised in East 

London and now lives in 

Johannesburg, was the first East 

Londoner to win the title. 

“I am still very overwhelmed. I am 

grateful for the opportunity,” she said. 

“I realise that it could have worked 

out differently, but God had it planned 

already and I am humbled by this,” 

Bryant said. 

“This title means that I get to knock 

on doors and it opens a bit easier 

than before. It also means that the 

public eye is watching a bit closer. 

“I am hoping this means that 

support from African residents will 

come easier. It means that I represent 

Africa. This is a huge responsibility, 

but I know that ‘the people’ are going 

to work with me and that this will be 

the best year of my life.” 

Bryant scooped a handful of prizes 

at the awards shows before being 

crowned Ms Africa 2018. 

She was crowned Dignity Dreams 

Queen for 2018, Best Model, Best 

Evening Wear, Compliance to tasks, 

Best Director’s Gift, Best Judges Gift, 

Best Choreographer’s Gift and Best 

contestant souvenir. 

She joined the pageant scene two 

years ago, shortly after her father’s 

passing. 

“I needed something to fill the void. 

I was a fashion model for most of my 

life with Just Models under the 

direction of Davianne Blignaut [in 

East London]. 

“Pageantry is a whole different ball 

game altogether,” she said. 

‘Overwhelmed’ Angie Bryant has a 

heart to help abused or needy children 

“I knew about the pageant since I 

started doing pageants. There has 

always been a buzz about it in 

Johannesburg. I started at the bottom 

of the ladder with Pageants SA with 

the smaller title and worked my way 

up. Ms Africa was the final stage for 

me,” said Bryant. 

The mother of a three-year-old 

daughter described the competition 

as tough and said that after the 

awards, she ruled herself out of 

making the top three. 

”When my name was called, it 

came as a complete shock. 

“Before the gala event started, I 

made peace that whatever happens 

will be God’s will. If I win I would 

praise Him and if I lose I would still 

praise Him because He works all 

things together for my good.” 

The phrase ‘charity begins at home’ 

is lived out in the Bryant family in 

East London. 

Last year, Bryant and her family fed 

the homeless on Christmas day. She 

has a heart especially for abused and 

abandoned children and babies. 

“I work with Door of Hope locally 

and just started working with the 

Norman Goosen Memorial Foundation 

in East London, however, Dignity 

Dreams will take preference for at 

least one year,” she said. 

As part of the Carnival celebration 

at the Buffalo Flats Sports ground 

next month, the newly crowned Ms 

Africa 2018 will be home and anyone 

who would like to be involved or host 

stalls can contact her on 

072-598-1847 or Donae on 

0 8 2 - 6 8 5 - 8 2 07 . 

The public are invited to bring a tin 

of food and build a tower for the 

Guinness Book of Records. 

This will all be donated to the 

Norman Goosen Memorial Foundation 

that feeds hundreds of hungry 

children weekly through a lunch box 

programme and soup kitchen for 

needy kids. 

Bryant will land on flight SA475 at 

4.55pm on December 1 and East 

Londoners are urged to go and give 

her a hero’s welcome. 

“I have had phenomenal support on 

my journey as a Ms Africa finalist. I 

am eternally grateful. I ask that you 

all stick with me for another year or 

more. Let’s take on the world. I have 

had a great team of people who 

prepared me for the Ms Africa title. 

We did it. Let’s continue,” she said. 

Dam levels continue to drop 

EASTERN Cape dam levels have 

dropped from 59.8% to 59.1% this 

week, according to a weekly report 

issued by the Department of Water 

and Sanitation on November 6. 

Water Supply Systems show signs 

of declining weekly, with the 

Amatola System, which has six 

dams serving the Buffalo City Metro 

having declined from 67.8% to 

67.1%, compared to 77.0% last year. 

The Algoa System, with five dams 

serving Nelson Mandela Bay has 

registered a drop from 29.6% to 

29.1%, compared to 67.3% last year. 

Xilinxa Dam in the Amathole 

District Municipality registered at 

6.9% this week, compared to 7.0 % 

last week. 

Gcuwa Dam is standing at 19.2% 

this week, compared to 57.9 % last 

week – a huge decline of 38.7%. 

Nahoon Dam in Buffalo City Metro 

(BCM) dropped from 97.6% last 

week to 96.1%, a slight decrease of 

1.5%, with Bridle Drift, the biggest 

dam serving BCM down from 55% 

last week to 53.6%. 

The Department of Water and 

Sanitation is appealing to 

communities and businesses to 

obey water saving measures as dam 

levels across the province continue 

to drop due to the current drought 

situation that is devastating most 

district areas.

MATTER OF FACT 

IN THE November 2 edition of the GO! & Express photo and caption on page 4, “Grand Lady” we left one of the owners of the Grosvenor Hotel out by mistake. In the article, we said that the last two owners 

of the old hotel in King William’s Town were Mr W Smith and the Stutt Brick Co. Matter of fact, it was owned by Godfrey Clive Ireland-Low before the “Wilsons” or Stutt Brick bought it. Godfrey’s son, Richard 

Ireland-Low wrote to the GO! saying: “Prior to the Stutt Group [Wilsons] purchasing the hotel, it belonged to my late father, namely Godfrey Clive Ireland-Low . In fact, my family (Jonathan/Ireland-Low) owned 

this business from 1968, having purchased it from the Late Bill Smith, up to the point of sale to the Stutt Group in the 90’s.”. If you have any photo of a historic building or site, you can send it to

Christmas comes early for needy 

IT WAS like Christmas came 

early for the needy when 

about 350 people – 

including children – were 

served food and handed 

clothing to much excitement 

at the monthly soup kitchen 

run by King William’s Town 

Lions Club. 

The recipients were from 

Breidbach, Acorn Valley, 

Plateau Extension, Qalashe 

and places as far-afield as 

Zwelitsha, Sweetwaters and 

Tshatshu. Lions Moses, Nici 

Naudè, Desmond Coetzee 

and Ryan von Abo were 

assisted by the Breidbach 

Seniors Club at the project. 

Prior to the handing out of 

clothes, shoes and running 

shoes, Moses explained to a 

packed hall that they were 

doing everything possible to 

fulfill their vision of reaching 

out to the poor and needy. 

“What you have seen and 

experienced today is what 

we stand for so never fear 

when a Lion is near,” Moses

said. “This would not have 

been possible without the 

generous support we receive 

from Dhaysons KwikSPAR, 

Trellidor and Nick’s Daily 

Spar – and not to mention 

the kind donations coming 

from our loyal community.” 

Coetzee commended his 

club for showing ubuntu and 

praised the seniors club for 

always assisting with the 

serving of food. He also 

explained how the Lions 

members were working 

around the clock, doing 

fundraising events to make 

the project a reality and a 

success. 

“You will always see our 

members selling rolls in 

front of Pick n Pay in town 

and that is just some of the 

many mediums we use to 

generate funding to make 

ourt outreach programmes 

which are many in King and 

surrounding areas, a 

success, so I call on you to 

support those initiatives if 

possible.” 

Naudè said: “I saw people 

who are really needy today 

but what I’ve also seen is 

them all helping by washing 

dishes, cleaning, etc and 

with the appreciation after 

being served, it gives me the 

utmost pleasure to say I am 

a proud to be a Lion”. 

Jefflin Vervloedt on behalf 

of the beneficiaries, thanked 

the Lions for going out of 

their way to make them 

happy. “We thank the Lions 

Club for doing what our 

government was supposed 

to do,” Vervloedt said. 

Please keep on with the 

good work – Lions. 

Breidbach to 

host 16 Days of 

Activism event 

DESMOND COETZEE 

THE Breidbach community have a 

16 Days of Activism against 

Gender-Based Violence event on at 

the community hall today. 

Speakers from governmental 

departments such as safety, 

education, correctional services 

and health in support of 

non-governmental organisations 

and prominent high-profile 

community leaders will deliver 

messages of support with the 

Buffalo City Municipality mayor 

Xolani Pakati presenting the 

keynote address. 

Area ward councillor Sixolisiwe 

Ntsasela said the event is staged 

by BCM in partnership with the 

relevant governmental 

departments and community 

st a ke h o l d e r s . 

“The aim is to make our 

community aware of the 16 Days of 

Activism which runs every year 

from November 25 to December 

10,” Ntsasela said. 

She said the decision to have the 

event staged in Breidbach was 

taken due to the many drug-related 

incidents taking place in her ward. 

“Breidbach is one of the areas in 

my ward which is most affected by 

drug related incidents hence we 

have decided to bring the event to 

the area and we are hoping to have 

a full-packed hall.” 

Sanca are also among those 

lined up to deliver supportive 

messages to the community. 

The event will kick off at 10am at 

the Breidbach community hall and 

a meal will be provided thereafter.

Hindu society brings 

chair cheer to school 

THANDEKA NTLONTI 

IT WAS all smiles for Parkside Primary pupils 

last week Wednesday when the East London 

Hindu society Kailash Mandal donated chairs 

and stationery hampers courtesy of Paperback 

Shack and Web Stationers to the school. 

The Kailash Mandal is a young women’s 

organisation which has supported many 

charities over the years. 

A member of the Hindu society, Rohini Patel, 

said they knew about the lack of equipment 

through Helen Christian, a Grade R teacher at 

the school, when she spoke at a high tea held 

last month. 

“The high tea served as both a social event 

and a charity fundraiser, with more than a 100 

people attending the gathering and some 

people came with stationery to donate. That 

event could not have come at a better time for 

Ariston reaches out with bursaries 

MADELEINE 

CHAPUT 

FOR the third 

consecutive year, 

Ariston Christian 

School will be making 

20 academic bursaries 

available to 

economically 

disadvantaged pupils 

for 2018. 

The bursaries are 

available to pupils 

from grades R to 7 

and recipients are 

required to be 

academically 

deser ving. 

Launched in an 

effort to assist 

struggling community 

members, the school 

has, to date, 

sponsored 35 children 

from economically 

deprived backgrounds. 

“There is a great 

need to give back to 

the community and 

this is one of the ways 

Ariston prides itself on 

doing so,” said one of 

the founding directors 

of the school, Peter 

R o u m e l i ot i s . 

There is no deadline 

for applications 

although there is 

limited space as only 

20 bursaries are 

available. Parents are 

encouraged to visit the 

school in order to 

apply on behalf of 

their children. 

The school will also 

be having an open day 

Parkside Primary,” said Patel. 

“The sight of a child sitting on a crate and 

bricks is heartbreaking. The ladies’ first point of 

call was to ensure that all the children had 

chairs to sit on,” said Patel. 

Toys were bought for the fantasy play area 

and some educational and literacy material, 

such as reading books and puzzles, were also 

donated. This was made possible by East 

London businesses and sole proprietors. 

Parkside Primary acting principal Cynthia 

Butler said she was ecstatic about such a 

donation and that is was not the first time the 

society made a donation to the school. 

“They came here at the beginning of the year

colourful quilts 


THE East Coast Quilters Guild 

recently opened their annual 

exhibition at the East London 

Museum's Courtenay Latimer 

Hall. 

From hand-stitched to 

embellished and art quilts, the 

exhibition boasts an array of 

over 30 hand-crafted quilts. 

“We name each of our 

pieces and are very proud of 

our work. Everybody has a 

specific style that they like, so 

all the quilts are very different 

and unique,” East Coast 

Quilters Guild chairlady, Anne 

Attenborough said. 

The Guild has been around 

for approximately 20 years and 

has 65 members who meet 

every month at the Beacon Bay 

Library hall to do what they 

love. Every year culminates in 

this colourful exhibition. 

“Everybody pulls their 

weight to make this exhibition 

so wonderful. Quilting is such 

a sociable craft, we're like a

MAKING A DIFFRENCE: Through her initiative, Keep a Girl in School, Dinika 

Rooy, front left, recently distributed sanitary towels to five primary schools 

around Buffalo City. Parkside Primary school were one of the recipients 


Keep a Girl in School 

goes the extra mile 


THROUGH her Keep a Girl in School 

initiative, Buffalo Flats resident 

Dinika Rooy has donated sanitary 

towels to various schools around 

Buffalo City. 

Lujiza Public, Parkside and AW 

Barnes primary schools were 

among the five schools Rooy's 

initiative has aided. 

“On behalf of Keep a Girl in 

School, I would like to take the 

opportunity to thank East London 

for their generous donations of 

sanitary towels in support of my 

initiative. Each packet makes a 

huge difference,” Rooy said. 

Now a registered non-profit 

organisation, Keep a Girl in School 

aims to continue providing 

feminine hygiene products to 

disadvantaged school girls within 

the Buffalo City Municipality region 

through donations from community 

members. 

Rooy is calling out to other 

community groups and members 

to join the organisation in the 

hopes of expanding the initiative in 

other areas such as Mdantsane 

and King William's Town. 

“The generosity and support 

from everyone so far has been 

amazing and I hope to keep going 

and keep as many girls in school 

as possible,” Rooy said.

supporting Keep a Girl in School,

Series draws 

record entry 

Tough conditions add to it all 

TRIBAL are very proud to announce that 

the third instalment of the TRIBAL 

Triathlon Series was a phenomenal 

success at the weekend. 

The race, which comprised of mini, 

sprint and Olympic distances, at t racted 

a record crowd to Orient Beach, despite 

clashing with some other major 

sporting events in the region. 

A large contingent of 153 competitors 

were involved on a day that proved to 

throw some testing conditions at the 

at h l e t e s . 

Large swells made the swim 

challenging, however, the athletes 

showed resilience, with almost all able 

to conquer the discipline. 

A strong north-easterly wind kept the 

intensity high for the cycle, before the 

heat played its part to accompany the 

athletes on the run leg. 

The event also doubled as the Buffalo 

City Triathlon’s Provincial 

Championship, with the athletes who 

hoped to race for the province having to 

dig deep to overcome the conditions. 

Bradley Birkholtz, who has dominated 

the TRIBAL series so far, saw off some 

strong competition from local pro 

Clinton Gravett and the second placed 

Eben Hartslief, to eventually take the 

win in the Olympic distance race. The 

GALA WINNERS: 

Selborne Primary took 

part in the top 10 

Interschools gala, 

achieving outstanding 

results. The swimmers 

came first in various 

styles with Christo Van 

Loggerenberg taking 

first place in freestyle, 

back stroke, 

breaststroke and 

flystroke in the U13 

division. Pictured are 

swimmers from left

ladies race was also hotly contested, 

with Lauren van Wyk clinching the top 

spot, with Charlene Moss second, and 

Roxy Ward third. 

TRIBAL Swim, Cycle, Run and 

Triathlon shop and events company 

sponsored athlete Wickus Saunders, 

who decimated the field in the Male 

Sprint category, won previously by his 

younger brother, Travis. 

Matthew Raath and Anthony “Coxy” 

Cox joined Saunders on the podium. 

The ladies race was also won by a 

regular winner, Danieke De Kock, who 

saw off valiant attacks from both Nicole 

Thysse and Candice Murray to seal her 

third win in as many races. 

In the mini distance, Caleb Miestre 

solidified another win in his promising 

triathlon career, beating Nathan 

Gallacher and Oliver Lange to collect 

the gold medal. 

The ladies race also proved to be a 

corker, with Kiara Herman taking the 

win from Emily Raath and Taryn 

Hensburg. 

Speaking of his win, Birkholtz 

remained humble, saying: “The 

conditions were really tough, second 

only to Ironman 2012 I’d say.” 

Birkholtz exited the water 1.30 mins 

down on Clinton Gravett.

Birkholtz said: “I managed to keep a 

solid power output on my bike, pushing 

the hills, and eventually caught Clinton 

on the third lap of the cycle. From there, 

I pushed hard for the first 4km of the 

run, and when I felt comfortable, I 

relaxed into a rhythm to the end.” 

Birkholtz was also overwhelmed by 

the number of competitors. 

“I am looking forward to seeing the 

continued growth of triathlon in this 

region,” he said. 

Giddo Muller, CEO of TRIBAL, said: 

“We couldn’t have been happier with 

the event this weekend. The fans were 

fantastic, the racing thrilling and 

conditions made it an honest day out. 

“We are very thankful to the 

sponsors, the organisers, and of course 

the athletes and their supporters, who 

made the day a win for all involved.” 

The final event of the series will t a ke 

place on Sunday December 3. A large 

crowd is expected again, as the race 

ON A GOOD GALLOP: Merrifield College are proud of pupil 

Chloe Pagel who has been selected to represent Eastern Cape 

in the Challenge Showing team going to the South African 

Championship at Kyalami Park, in Johannesburg next month. 

‘We are so proud of her,’ the school said 

offers the ever popular Ultra Distance 

(1.8km swim, 60km cycle and 15km 

run), attracting competitors from 

around the country.

Big haul 

take part 

Event sees 93 fish caught and released 

THE Rock and Surf Super Pro League 

Border Blacktips recently held their 

fifth competition of the season at 

Haga Haga, where 60 anglers battled 

it out for their share of the awesome prizes 

on offer. 

The weather was mostly good and the sea 

conditions seemed fine at first glance, but turned 

out to be rather challenging due to a strong surge 

resulting in some tough fishing. 

Visiting angler, Lance Muller landed his very 

first kob weighing in at 5.2kg – also winning him 

Top Edible for the day – with member, Neville 

Kromhout winning Heaviest Ray with an Eagle Ray 

of 6.1kg. 

Madden Openshaw won the Top Junior spot with 

a 30cm blacktail. 

QUICK SNAPPER: The RASSPL Border Blacktips’s recent competition at Haga Haga saw Mark Birkholtz 

among the 60 anglers taking part 


The big R2000 prize money at the end of a hard 

d ay ’s fishing went to member Greg Timm for a 

35cm blacktail. 

A total of 93 fish were caught, with a combined 

weight of 79.8kg and consisting of 16 different 

species – which were all safely released to swim 

another day. 

“A big thank you to Haga Haga Hotel for hosting 

this event, as well as Aquelle Water for hydrating 

us after a long day’s fishing,” Border Blacktips’ 

Shane Smit said. 

Next Saturday, November 25, the club will be 

hosting their sixth rock ’n surf angling competition 

of the season, and the last for this year, at Kiwane. 

“We have a tradition of ending the year off with 

a bang and this will be no different as there are 

some awesome prizes including cash up for 

grabs,” Smit said. 

Anyone can enter a RASSPL (Rock and Surf 

Super Pro League) event and tickets can be 

bought at Bilimoria Fishing Tackle stores or Quality 

Baits in the SBDC. 

Tickets for this competition are R150 for visitors, 

R50 for RASSPL members and under 14’s fish free. 

“Remember that we are strictly a 100% catch 

‘We have a tradition of ending the 

year off with a bang and this will be 

no different as there are awesome 

prizes including cash up for grabs’ 

and release club so everything must be released 

safely. Please ask about our rules and regulations 

including measuring procedures at any of the 

registrations and we will gladly assist,” Smit said. 

Early registration will be with club secretary 

Sharon Miles on Friday, November 24 from 2pm at 

Chelsea Square B&B in Selborne. 

Alternatively, anglers can register on the 

morning of the competition at Kiwane from
