WILD RIDE: A lone surfer goes for a ride at Nahoon 

Beach

A calling to write 

Blind author to launch Christian novel to public 

SIVENATHI GOSA 

“It was during a time I was bed-ridden 

that I answered the call to write and I 

ended up writing four books. But this is 

the first book that is going to be 

available for the public,” said Paul 

Ferreira, author of Gewetensbaai se Siel. 

The book is an Afrikaans Christian novel 

written by Ferreira, 50, who was cer tified 

legally blind at the age of nine. 

“The book is about a highly successful 

doctor whose life is turned around after he 

loses his wife and children. He becomes an 

alcoholic and falls in to depression, and 

becomes homeless. He then ends up on the 

beach, where he meets another person who's 

life struggles also made him homeless. 

“They both become street dwellers who live 

on alcohol. One day, they meet a woman at 

the beach whose son is drowning in the 

ocean. The two men save the boy, but triumph 

quickly turns into tragedy as the doctor's 

friend dies while saving the boy. That is where 

he decides to take a major turn in his life,” 

said Ferreira. 

He said the inspiration behind his writing 

came when he was terminally ill. 

“I could not do anything for myself but pray 

every day. I heard God talk to me,and I decided 

to answer the call of writing four books. 

“It took me only a few weeks to complete 

Gewetensbaai se Siel, but not being a 

specialist in the field of languages, I struggled 

to get the book published. It took me seven 

years to print the book,” he said 

An audio version of the book is being made 

available by Tape Aids for The Blind, a free 

national audio library services for blind and 

print-handicapped people in SA. 

“As we do not receive any government 

subsidy and rely solely on donations, we plan 

a number of fundraising events during the 

year to boost our income,” said Tape Aids 

branch manager Michelle Clayton. 

“In 2019, we had the privilege to team up 

with Paul Ferreira in support of the first 

Christian action drama novel he has written. 

The feedback we have received regarding the 

book has been extremely positive.” 

The book launch will take place at Baysville 

School Hall on April 5. To purchase a ticket, 

contact Ferreira at 064-167-6752 or Clayton at 

0 4 3 - 72 2 - 76 1 5 .

Cansa Relay for 

Life raises R500k 

AMANDA NANO 

Hundreds of people braved the 

rain to take part in the annual 

Cansa Relay for Life held at Jan 

Smuts Stadium last Saturday 

evening in honour of those 

affected by cancer. 

More than R500,000 was 

raised. 

According to community 

mobiliser of fund development 

Michelle Goddard, 187 teams had 

registered as of Friday last week. 

“There was no way we’d have 

been able to postpone the relay 

because of the rain, and people 

were still registering at the last 

minute to take part,” Goddard 

said. 

The heavy rains didn’t deter 

the crowd as many people had 

their ponchos and umbrellas 

ready to walk for survivors, those 

who are still fighting, and those 

who have passed on. 

One of the relay’s key 

components – the luminaria 

ceremony – took place on the 

grand stand rather than the track 

as previously due to the rain. 

“The luminaria ceremony takes 

place where a moment of silence 

is observed for those who have 

left us. These candles 

communicate that you’ll always 

be in our hearts,” said East 

London Relay for Life chair 

Wayne Wayer. 

Candles on the grand stand 

spelt out the word “Hope” while 

the whole track came to a 

standstill to honour and 

remember loved ones. 

The walk symbolises that 

cancer is a disease that never 

stops, and as such the relay 

carries on all night.

The first leg of the journey saw the teams stop 

over in Cradock before moving onto Willowmore. 

The “King of the Mountain” segment is a 9km 

climb with a 450m elevation which requires a fair 

bit of stamina and motivation. 

Reclaiming the title from Waye Salzwedel, Sean 

Rice reached the top of Huisrivier in 31:41:00. 

On March 5, tragedy struck for the team as one 

of their own, Michele Weinand, passed away in an 

accident. The “army” continued the cycle at the 

request of Weinand's family and held a memorial 

service for him in Agulhas. 

The cycle was completed on March 7 at 

Gordon's Bay. 

The “army” also took part in 109km Cape Town 

Cycle Tour in aid of Eyabantwana Childen's Trust. 

“We are incredibly proud of each the cyclists 

that took on this year's challenge and more 

impressed with the funds raised thus far for the 

o r g a n i s at i o n . 

“Thank you to each cyclist, sponsor and donor 

for your continuous support and dedication 

towards the Eyabantwana Trust and all it stands 

fo r, ” event organiser Trystan Viaene said. 

Eyabantwana helps the Eastern Cape paediatric 

surgical services of the Frere and Cecilia 

Makiwane Hospitals specifically with regards to 

supplying surgical equipment and maintenance to 

the paediatric burn units of these hospitals. 

Gandads Army has raised R260,000 thus far for 

the non-profit organisation.

‘Dr y’ but pleasant weekend awaits 

After last week's deluge, this 

weekend looks set to be almost 

completely dry in comparison. 

Temperatures will remain 

pleasant throughout, starting off 

at 23°C on Thursday. 

Skies will be mostly overcast 

throughout and there's an 

11km/h wind predicted from the 

south. 

Friday sees some light 

morning rain but it will be over 

by midday. The wind climbs 

slightly to 18km/h and switches 

to the northeast while 

temperatures remain at 24°C. 

Saturday's temperature climbs 

to 26°C which, combined with 

clear skies, should make for a 

pleasant day ahead. Just watch 

out for the 25km/h northeasterly 

wind that's predicted to blow 

through. 

The wind will die down to just 

14km/h on Sunday, but 

thankfully temperatures remain 

nice and warm at 26°C. There'll 

be some slight cloud cover, but it 

shouldn’t be too much of a 

bother to most people.

Protest for zoo-free SA 

MATTHEW FIELD 

Visitors to Beacon Bay Retail Park were 

no doubt surprised to find a large cage 

containing five people in the middle of 

the Food Cour t. 

The cage is part of a protest against 

the East London Zoo by ANC MP 

Christian Martin; Khoi and San chiefs 

Trevor Kopeledi and Gaokxaob Kai Anib, 

as well as fellow Khoi and San activists 

Melvin Smith and John George. 

The protest began on March 11 and 

will continue until Human Rights Day on 

March 21. 

For the duration, the protesters will 

remain in the cage and will only leave 

to use the restroom. In addition, they 

have also switched to a completely 

vegan diet. 

“We believe, as the Khoi and the San, 

because we live so close to animals in 

nature and animals and ourselves are 

one, that these animals can’t talk for 

themselves, so we are talking on their 

b e h a l f, ” said Martin. 

Martin said zoos are “glorified 

Robben Islands and glorified 

homelands” and that SA should strive 

to be a zoo-free country. 

“Before 1994, our people were put in 

homelands. We didn't like that although 

the homelands were big. But human 

beings were not created to be in 

homelands. Animals are the same. If we 

fought then against homelands, we 

must fight now against zoos and 

putting animals in cages,” he said. 

“It's been said this whole situation 

will be dealt with according to the law. 

Remember, there were laws before 1994 

so all laws are not necessarily good 

l aw s . ” 

According to Martin, the claim that 

CAGED CUSTODIANS: Khoi and San protesters are living in a cage at Beacon Bay Retail Park in protest against the East London Zoo 

zoos serve an educational function no 

longer holds up thanks to the expansion 

of the internet and online information. 

“Because it is now possible for 

people to view animals in their natural 

habitats online, there is no longer any 

need to keep animals in cages. 

“Remember Sarah Baartman. She was 

put in a cage for many years for people 

to look at. If we don’t want it for human 

beings, we should never allow it for any 

animals,” said Martin. 

“All of us are custodians of animals. 

Our custody over animals was put there 

by God himself. What we are doing is to 

claim that responsibility back.” 

The ending of the Beacon Bay protest 

on March 21 will coincide with another 

protest organised by Ban Animal 

Trading (BAT) which will take place 

outside the East London Zoo on the 

same day from 11.15am. 

Buffalo City Municipality (BCM) 

spokesperson Samkelo Ngwenya said 

the municipality stood by the statement 

sent to the GO! & Express last week 

(“Call to close zoo”, March 7) and 


denied that the animals in the zoo were 

poorly treated. 

“The city's zoo reflects the green belt 

and floral vision of the city and is a 

huge feature for schools across the 

province. We call upon the general 

public to take the opportunity to visit 

this facility and get a first-hand 

experience,” said Ngwenya.

The school had its humble 

beginnings in Dimbaza Township 

in 1979 but moved to King in 

1986.The school held a special 

thanksgiving service as part of 

their annual awards ceremony at 

Bethany Emmanuel Church on 

March 2. 

Students past and present 

were in attendance, along with 

their families and members of 

the community. 

Guests from Scotland, Canada, 

and various parts of SA graced 

the occasion to show their 

appreciation for the school. 

A special 40th anniversary 

book, Voices of Thanksgiving, 

was launched at the service 

which featured over 20 short 

stories and 100 photographs, all

King Club bowlers on a roll 

BRIAN McLEAN 

Former Border rugby referee 

and current King Bowling Club 

bowler Mervyn Spring is the 

new Border novice champion. 

After being unbeaten in the 

initial round of the Border 

bowls competition, Spring 

made it to the semifinals played 

at the Comrades Bowling Club 

r e c e n t l y. 

After winning his semifinal 

clash 21-10, he went on to beat 

Neil Friend of Gonubie 21-13 in 

the final. 

Another club bowler, Josh 

Turner, also won his semifinal 

match, but lost 20-21 in the final. 

“I was very disappointed,” 

said Turner who is a first-team 

rugby prop for Dale High 

School. 

Spring, who also played 

rugby and cricket in his 

younger days, said he had 

learnt bowls was a drawing 

game. 

“Play each end one at a time 

and try not to give more than 

one shot away at a time. It also 

takes just one bowl to change 

an end,” he said. 

Spring added a lot of 

concentration and 

self-discipline was needed. 

He said that on the day of the 

final, the wind was strong and it 

was important for him to find 

his line and length quickly. 

“I would like to thank club 

member Craig Ainslie for 

transporting Josh and I to East 

London for the final. We spoke 

bowls all the way there and not 

having to drive took a lot of 

pressure me,” Spring said. 

King Bowling Club president 

Gordon McCune said he and the 

club were proud of both Spring 

and Turner. 

“As a club, we were hoping 

for an all-King final and Josh 

came very close to making it. 

We are proud of both of our 

bowlers as they kept the King 

flag flying high,” McCune said.

KWT WEATHER 

Last weekend's rain is noticeably absent this 

time around. 

Thursday's temperatures are pleasant 

despite persistent cloud, maxing out at just 

23°C. There's a slight 11km/h wind from the 

east but it shouldn’t cause too much hassle. 

Temperatures climb to 25°C on Friday and 

there's some slight morning rain but don’t get 

your hopes up – it will be gone by lunch time. 

The wind picks up to 22km/h from the

While the wind persists into Saturday, the 

rest of the day looks set to be beautiful. Skies 

will be clear throughout and the temperature 

climbs all the way to 28°C. 

This continues to Sunday when the 

temperature rises even further to 29°C. Best of 

all, the wind dies down to just 11km/h from 

the south.



Golf day boost 

for Carel du Toit 


The Carel Du Toit Centre for children 

who are hearing impaired were the 

beneficiaries of the annual Algoa FM 

Charity Golf Day. 

The funds were utilised to build a 

jungle gym and upgrade the centre’s 

the wireless FM system. 

Having a new jungle gym will help 

with the holistic preparation of the 

children for mainstream schooling. 

Climbing helps children learn how 

to solve problems and also exercises 

the memory because they need to 

remember certain grips and the 

location of hand and foot holds. 

“We have children from previously 

disadvantaged communities who 

don’t only need assistance with their 

hearing aids, but also with meals and 

c l ot h e s , ” said Carel Du Toit Centre 

principal Paula Kumm. 

“We recently had a fundraising 

event where we hosted Miss Deaf 

South Africa Lethiwe Ntaka and 

managed to raise R5,000. In a n ot h e r 

event we had a few weeks ago, we 

raised R23,000 which will make a 

huge difference for the centre. 

“We would like to thank Algoa FM 

for choosing us as their beneficiaries, 

and for spreading much-needed 

awareness about the Carel Du Toit 

Cent re,” Kumm said. 

“It is thanks to the wonderful 

support our charity golf day receives 

from golfers of all walks of life that we 

are able to support this one-of-a-kind 

centre in our Border broadcast 

region,” said Algoa FM marketing 

manager Toinette Koumpan.

MATTHEW FIELD 

Despite numerous complaints 

to Buffalo City Municipality, 

little has been done to clean 

up the corner of Belgrave and 

St Matthews roads after a 

truck crashed into a tree and 

caused the intersection to be 

completely blocked by fallen 

branches (“Truck crash leaves 

Belgrave Road blocked off”, 

February 21). 

The initial incident occurred 

on the morning of February 17 

when a truck crashed into two 

jacaranda trees, breaking off 

large branches which then lay 

across the road and prevented 

access. 

According to local resident 

Tessa Booth who the GO! & 

Express first spoke with on 

February 18, workers only 

arrived on February 21 to 

remove the debris from the 

road. 

However, instead of taking 

the debris away to be properly 

disposed of, they left it on the 

p av e m e n t . 

“Then they came a few days 

later with a bakkie and a 

trailer with about six people 

and all they did was sit there 

and talk,” she said. 

The GO! & Express visited 

the area again last Thursday. 

Not only were the branches 

still heaped on the pavement, 

but rubbish had begun piling 

up in the gutters. 

“Now people are starting to 

use it as a dumpsite,” B o ot h 

said. 

She also said the lack of 

proper disposal was causing 

security concerns in the area. 

“People have been sleeping 

in [the piles of branches] and 

when my people come in, they 

are being attacked.” 

The municipality had not 

responded to a request for 

comment at the time of going 

to print. 

My name is Justin 

Bowden. I am a 

registered biokineticist 

and have opened up a 

private practice in 

Beacon Bay, East 

London. 

I have been 

practicing as a fully 

qualified biokineticist 

for seven years and am 

registered with the 

Health Professional 

Council of South Africa 

(HPCSA) as well as the 

Biokinetics Association 

of South Africa (BASA). 

I graduated with 

degrees in human 

movement science 

(BHMS. NMU) and 

iokinetics (BA. Hons. 

NMU) from Nelson 

Mandela University 

(NMU) in 2010 and 

2012, respectively. 

I have worked in 

occupational health and 

wellness settings. 

My passion lies with 

orthopedic, cardiac and 

neurological 

r e h a b i l i t at i o n . 

The most common 

question I get asked is 

what differentiates 

biokinetics from 

physiotherapy and in 

short, the answer is 

this: biokinetics deals 

with the later phases of 

r e h a b i l i t at i o n , 

preferably six to 12 

weeks post-surgery. 

We are also trained 

to work with special 

Advertising feature 

Biokineticist ready to help 

population groups i.e. 

patients who have or 

suffer from strokes, low 

muscle tone, muscle 

dystrophy, multiple 

sclerosis, heart attacks, 

coronary artery bypass 

surgery and so forth. 

The most common 

complaints I come 

across are lower 

backache and shoulder 

pain. 

My job would then be 

to assess you 

orthopedically and from 

the assessment, decide 

what muscles need be 

strengthened and what 

muscles need to be 

stretched out, to 

provide adequate 

support and stability to 

the affected joint(s) or 

area.

good governance, and 

ýBetter healthcare for 

all. 

Mzomhle High School's 

Athule Mqoqi, on the point 

of human settlements, said 

one of the challenges of 

local government is that 

the demand is greater than 

the supply. 

“People should be 

employed with building 

their houses and be 

involved in the design. In 

this way, it will put money 

back in people's pockets,” 

Mqoqi said. 

Speaking on education, 

Aleta Sibi, from King 

Edward High School, in 

Matatiele, said 

infrastructure development 

and strengthening 

administration were key 

factors in the portfolio. 

“Bursaries are needed, 

adult education centres 

should be built, and the 

department should strive to 

move forward faster to get 

with the times,” Sibi said. 

2015 English categor y 

winner Qhawe Bula was 

stern in discussing the 

fight against corruption, 

and said one needs to 

understand it from a 

historical context. 

“Historical debt was 

incurred after 1994, yet 

there were years of 

corruption within the 

apartheid regime which 

happened in secret. 

“During the Truth and 

Reconciliation Commission, 

a precedent was set that 

some high-ranking officials 

were above the law.”

Event manager 

Siyasanga Zwakala said 

the pageant started in 

2009, the year in which 

when he won the title. 

He took over the hosting 

of the event in 2011. 

“In 2019, we are 

introducing new 

categories, plus-size 

models and slot for a 

fashion show. We will 

be providing a platform 

for local fashion 

designers to showcase 

their designs.

Luthuli Dlamini, who 

is an actor known for 

his rols in soapies such 

as Uzalo and

guest judge. 

“It is such a great

witnessing the talent 

that Mdantsane 

produces,” he said. 

In 2018, the winners 

walked away with prizes 

valued at R3,000.

For Michael Swartz, the gift of hearing after 

25 years has opened up a world of 

possibilities, including being able to open his 

own massage therapist business in East 

London. 

Swartz currently holds nine certificates in 

massage therapy and hasn't rested on his 

laurels. He is still on a the journey of 

acquiring speech therapy skills to 

communicate better since 2018. 

“I'm an entreprenuer and I'd like to employ 

other deaf people, and also be an example to 

the hearing,” he said. 

He admits that working for himself isn't 

easy, and means more responsibility but his 

quiet motivation keeps him going. 

Body Therapy by Michael Denton, based in 

Stirling, offers a range of treatments such as 

hot stone full body massages and advanced 

Indian massage – to name but a few. 

The GO! visited the premises. The relaxing 

Indian head massage eases tension in the 

neck and head. 

“I can feel people's emotions when 

massaging them. I'm no doctor but I can see 

it,” he said. 

He picked up in our appointment that he 

could sense that there was a headache as 

well as tension and stress. 

“You watch TV to fall asleep but it doesn't 

seem to work, you're also not a morning 

person,” describing what he had picked up 

from the GO! visit. 

The holistic surroundings finished with a 

touch of class, concentrates on body 

treatment and that of the spirit. 

Swartz's partner, Jordan Clarke said he's 

very happy for themselves.

Zoo shutdown gets 

lions’ share of vote 

Matric Farewell Feature 

The Go!&Express newspaper will be running a Matric Farewell Feature in the

businesses including but not limited to Suit Hire, Dress Makers, Hair Dressers,

MATTHEW FIELD 

Last week, we posted a question 

on Facebook asking readers 

whether the East London Zoo 

should be shut down. At the time 

of writing, there were more than 

150 responses. 

About 140 said the zoo should 

be shut down while only 10 said 

it should remain open. 

Those in favour of shutting 

down raised concerns about the 

alleged mismanagement and 

poor treatment of animals. 

“It’s a screaming disgrace and 

an embarrassment to the town. 

It is also unsafe for the public 

and their transport,” said 

Cathrine Openshaw. 

Alan Hawkins also supported 

the closure of the zoo, calling it a 

“cruel and filthy place”, adding 

that humans have no right to 

treat fellow creatures in such a 

m a n n e r. 

Despite their low numbers, 

there were those who were just 

as passionate about keeping the 

zoo open. 

For Mayleen Christelle 

Thompson, the solution was to 

hire “better management and 

people with a passion” in order 

to help turn things around. 

This was echoed by Angelique 

Carelse, who also complained 

that there was little else to do in 

East London, especially for 

children. 

Many people raised concerns 

about the fate of the animals 

should the zoo be shut down, 

with Kate Godfrey worried that 

many would have to be put 

down. 

Seanna Voogt made an 

interesting point in that the zoo 

is a significant historical site for 

the city. If it were to be fixed up, 

she said, then it could serve as a 

potent tourist attraction, as well 

as a source of pride for East 

Londoners.

Jake Gyllenhaal loses the 

plot in ‘Nocturnal Animals’ 

MATTHEW FIELD 

I wanted to like this 

movie, I really did. 

Jake Gyllenhaal is one 

of my favourite actors of 

all time but sadly, it looks 

like even he has to have a 

dud now and then. 

2016's Nocturnal 

Animals is the sort of 

n av e l - g a z i n g 

pretentiousness that 

Gyllenhaal himself would 

go on to mock in later 

films like Velvet Buzzsaw. 

It is a film so 

desperately trying to be 

deep that it doesn't 

realise it's got all the 

depth of a paddling pool. 

The film has two 

parallel story-lines. 

The first follows Susan 

Morrow, played by Amy 

Adams, a divorced gallery 

owner who after 20 years 

of separation, is sent the 

draft for a new book by 

her ex-husband Edward 

(played by Gyllenhaal). 

The second storyline is 

that of the book and 

follows Tony Hastings, 

Edward's fictional persona 

–also played by 

Gyllenhaal – as he tries to 

save his wife and 

daughter from a gang of 

brutal thugs. 

Now it wouldn't be fair 

to say these two plot 

threads don't relate to 

each other in some way 

but the connection is so 

flimsy that it almost 

seems accidental rather 

than deliberate. 

The book is clearly 

meant to be some sort of 

allegory for Susan's 

relationship with Edward 

but this is never made 

clear so we as the 

audience are left 

wondering just what the 

big deal is. 

The sad thing is the 

secondary plot of the 

in-film novel is amazing. 

It's a hard-as-nails crime 

story that would easily 

have worked as its own 

standalone piece. 

Unfortunately, we have 

to leave it every 10 

minutes to watch Susan 

mope around in her 

apartment and act all 

upset for reasons that are 

not really explained in the 

movie. 

Every time the film cut 

to the “real” world, I 

found myself counting 

down the seconds until 

we could return to the 

book and it's far more 

compelling tale. 

To cap it all off, the 

ending is that vague 

cliffhanger nonsense that 

sounds all high-brow on 

paper but in reality only 

leaves the audience 

feeling cheated. 

Nothing is resolved, 

plot threads are just left 

dangling, and there is 

zero closure for anyone 

involved.

Save water despite the rain 

Ode to 

unsung 

h e ro e s 

Last weekend's torrential downpour 

(my house measured about 100mm 

by Sunday) was no doubt a welcome 

relief to many in an area that has 

been gripped by increasingly dry 

w e at h e r. 

They say it doesn’t 

rain but it pours, and 

last weekend that 

certainly proved to be 

the case. 

However, we as a 

community should be 

careful not to let such 

rare occurrences go to 

our heads. 

Anyone who has 

been following the 

news would know that 

the Buffalo City Metro along with the 

rest of the Eastern Cape, has been in 

the grip of a water crisis for many 

years now. Thanks to climate change, 

rainfall has been getting rarer with 

each season. 

And when the rains do come, it’s in 

progressively less amounts. 

Last weekend’s downpour was 

great, sure, but let's not pretend it's 

anything but a glaring exception to 

an otherwise depressing rule. 

The Mail & Guardian reported last 

year (“Day Zero stalks Eastern Cape’s 

towns”, February 2 2018) that there 

are some parts of the Eastern Cape 

(mostly in the less developed rural 

areas) that are on the brink of their 

own Day Zero. This scenario might be 

hard to imagine for 

those of us lucky 

enough to have 

access to running 

water whenever we 

turn on the tap, but 

it's a tragic reality for 

a large portion of the 

p o p u l at i o n . 

And it's only going 

to get worse as the 

threat of climate 

change escalates. 

As I mentioned in one of my 

earliest columns, it's already too late 

to turn back the clock on climate 

change so as a country, we need to 

start preparing for a world of 

increased water scarcity. 

On an individual level, this means 

adopting as many water-saving 

techniques as possible, such as 

investing in rain-water tanks, making 

use of grey water systems, and so 

on. On a national level, this means 

ensuring that there are proper 

WATER WISE: With the ever-worsening threat of climate change, the onus is 

on us to use water wisely Picture: FILE 

policies in place to help those who 

will be most affected by this 

ecological disaster. 

This will require a dedicated 

expansion of national infrastructure 

and a revision of current social 

security measures to take into 

account the drastic change in 

environmental conditions. 

It will be difficult, sure, but if we 

leave it for too long, the alternative 

will be far worse. 

Human nature and the conventions of society 

have developed systems which produce 

heroes who enjoy immense fame and, often, 

totally disproportionate wealth. 

Clever marketers and big business have 

long been aware of man’s innate need for 

entertainment and heroes and they have 

exploited this to generate vast sums of money. 

Sportsmen, singers and musicians who 

have talent, but also fortuitous timing and 

powerful publicity backing, often achieve 

“hero worship” status. The entertainment 

industry has a ready market and its 

income-generating power is immense. 

An examination of the top earners in society 

will show clearly how many of these “sung” 

heroes feature prominently and highlight their 

almost obscene wealth. 

Do the achievements and fame that 

generally determine heroes in the 

conventional sense measure up to the unsung 

heroes who miss the glare of attention and 

mass appeal? 

Does society apportion a fair measure of 

recognition to the anonymous philanthropist 

or the “Good Samaritan” who helps a person 

in distress? 

In the words of Daniel J Boorstin: “In our 

world of big names, curiously, our true heroes 

tend to be anonymous. In this life of illusion 

and quasi-illusion, the person of solid virtues 

who can be admired for something more 

substantial than his well-knownness often 

proves to be the unsung hero: the teacher; the 

nurse; the mother; the honest cop; the hard 

worker at lonely, underpaid, unglamorous, 

unpublicised jobs.” 

Consider the nature-conscious beach visitor 

who regularly and energetically removes 

plastic and other damaging debris (usually 

deposited by irresponsible humans) in an 

heroic service to our planet. 

What of the highly skilled and successful 

businessman who leaves the comforts of his 

urban life to work for the upliftment of remote 

rural settlements? 

And the welfare-conscious individuals who 

sponsor or mentor the less privileged? 

Those who campaign and fight for river, 

forest and fauna preservation are true heroes. 

Konica Annan put it well: “These often 

unsung heroes understand that poverty, 

disease and famine are just as deadly and 

destructive as earthquakes, hurricanes and 

tsunamis. Individuals are taking on these 

challenges in their communities, volunteering 

to make a difference. They remain the true 

champions of our work towards the 

Millennium Development Goals.” 

Heroes of the sung variety have arguably 

been a part of humankind’s existence since 

time immemorial. This seems to be a defining 

and inextricable force in our way of life, and 

one that provides entertainment, role models 

and focal points. 

Much is added to the interest, vitality and 

exuberance of life by these heroes for this they 

deserve recognition. But the unsung heroes 

arguably deserve recognition in equal 

measure in a perfect world this could happen. 

While specific talent, skill and some luck 

often determine the fortunes of conventional 

heroes, the unsung heroes more commonly 

display courage, consciousness of the needs 

of others and a concern for the health and 

well-being of our planet. 

This is well depicted in The Summer Guest 

by Justin Cronin: “Real courage is doing the 

right thing when nobody’s looking. Doing the 

unpopular thing because it’s what you believe, 

and the heck with everybody.”



Stars in the making 

AMANDA NANO 

The PnA Ultimate Performer finals took 

place on Sunday at the Guild Theatre. 

The competition was originally 

conceived by Performance Platform in 

conjunction with PnA Stationers East 

London. 

Hundreds of hopefuls went through a 

process of elimination over the past 

month with the finalists competing for 

the ultimate prize of R10,000 in the 

junior section and R20,000 in the senior 

section. The competition, now in its 

ninth year, saw over 350 entries. 

Of the finals ticket sales, 10% went to 

the charity of choice, Guardians of 

Hope, which cares for abandoned 

babies in the city. 

The winner in the ultimate petit and 

junior section was the Lilyfontein School 

Drum Majorettes who won R10,000, 

lessons from Lesson Lab worth R6,000 

and two tickets to all Guild Theatre 

shows for one year. 

Lilyfontein School also won the 

overall junior ultimate performer, with a 

photo shoot prize from Pollocks. The 

school also scooped the ultimate large 

group prize and received a prize of 

milkshakes from Greenfields Wimpy. 

Judges for the section included 

Sonwa Sakuba, Neil Boyle, Nasine van 

Rensburg, Wendy Kretschmann and 

Zikhona Ngxata. 

In the senior and open section, the 

competition saw 2018 winner Jayson 

Jegels competing again. 

The ultimate senior and open title 

went to Sibongile Stephen and Owen 

Zwendala for their drama and dance 

piece. They won R20,000 and two 

tickets to all Guild Theatre shows for 

one year, and also scooped the award 

for overall ultimate open, winning a 

photo shoot at Pollocks. 

Joanna Wright, Jo Stemmet, Michelle 

Venter, Sheree O’Brien and Jennilee 

Peremore-Oliver adjudicated the highly 

competitive senior and open section. 

Other notable awards included Ben 

Rexana who won R5,000 for recognition 

of the advancement of the performing 

arts in the community. 

Rexana offers dance lessons free of 

charge in Mdantsane in an effort to 

keep youngsters off the streets and 

away from drugs. 

Awards for advancement of the 

performing arts in the face of adversity 

for a group and individual went to 

Parklands School and Tasha Oosthuizen 

r e s p e c t i v e l y. 

The school received R5,000 while 

Oosthuizen received R2,000, a 

Wakaberry t-shirt and sunglasses, a 

pedicure from Beauty Clinic and an 

Inkwenkwezi game drive. 

Performance Platform’s Anne 

McLaren said the media partnership 

with the GO! & Express and Daily 

Dispatch helped tremendously with 

exposure and increased public 

knowledge about the event. 

“We are grateful for the incredible 

way these publications support the 

performing arts community in East 

London and we applaud their 

passionate involvement in the 

community and the advancement of the 

performing arts,” McLaren said. 

She said one of the aims of 

Performance Platform, through PnA 

Ultimate Performer, was to bring 

opportunity, exposure and a platform to 

all performing artists in the city, and 

potentially in the province.

our GO! 

re a d e r s 

MATTHEW FIELD 

Last year I wrote a column where I explained what 

our role as a community newspaper truly is. 

The article is available online, but the long and 

short of it is that we are here to represent you, the 

communit y. 

This doesn't just mean travelling out to report on 

stories, however, although that is still a core part 

of this newspaper. What it also means is that we 

are a voice for members of the community to 

share their stories with those around them. 

You've no doubt seen the many beautiful 

pictures or insightful letters from readers we've 

published lately and they serve as a great example 

of what I'm talking about. 

The GO! & Express should not just be a one-way 

project where we dictate the news to you. Rather, 

it should be a dynamic forum where everyone in 

East London and King can interact and discover 

more about each other. 

So please, if you have something you really 

want to share with your community, whether it be 

a photograph, piece of news, or an opinion you'd 

like to express, send it through to us and we'll be 

happy to publish it in our next edition. 

The community is the bedrock of this paper and 

we are happy to serve our loyal readers.

East London car and motorcycle 

lovers used to have a custom of 

meeting up at various 

roadhouses to show off their 

vehicles and chat over burgers, 

ice creams or milkshakes. 

This tradition has recently 

been revived at the aptly named 

Pit-Stop Roadhouse in Devereux 

Avenue, which is fast becoming 

a favourite meeting place for 

exotic, classic and old vehicles 

on the last Sunday of each 

month. Motoring clubs are also 

using the venue as a starting or 

ending point for their outings. 

The most recent monthly 

Pit-Stop Meet-up on February 24 

saw 32 interesting cars and 

bikes on the forecourt. 

Out in force were motoring 

organisations such as the Border 

Hot Rod Classic and V8 Club, the 

Border Vintage Car Club, the 

Distinguished Gentlemen’s Ride 

and some privateers. 

“The monthly Meet-up has 

grown and it's great that it's 

gaining its own momentum at 

last. It is also encouraging to see 

a number of younger enthusiasts 

at tending,” event organiser 

Steve Heger said. 

Pit-Stop owners Japie and 

Martie van Wyk are putting their 

full support behind the venture. 

The next monthly Pit-Stop 

Meet-up is scheduled for March 

31 from noon onwards. 

Anyone with an unusual 

vehicle is welcome to display.

Heger at 072-232-6455.

Very real Fantasy 

crown win for Alert 


The second Fantasy Indoor 

Soccer Challenge was under 

way last Saturday with eight 

East London teams from the 

league competing for the 

grand prize of R10,000. 

Alert Engine Parts were 

crowned champions after 

beating Aurecon 11-0 in the 

finals. 

“Aurecon muscled their way 

through group stages and hit a 

brick wall in the finals. Alert 

was in the mood today, they 

showed their dominance right 

from the start with 80% ball 

possession,” said league CEO 

Osher Soetland. 

“We are developing a team 

to play against major teams in 

other provinces. We are 

planning to take the two 

strongest teams to the high 

level.” 

The two teams were 

selected from members of the 

eight teams in the tournament. 

“There is great potential 

here in East London. The 

games were interesting as 

emotions were high, because 

everyone was gunning for the 

grand prize,” said Soetland. 

Soetland said they are

planning on expanding the 

league by introducing more 

activities such as bubble 

football, foosball and many 

more. 

The Daily Dispatch Breakers 

Football Club also decided to 

join the Fantasy Football 

League, having started a 

month ago. 

Team manager Lutho Zathu 

said the idea was born in 

January in order to promote a 

a healthy lifestyle and fitness. 

“It’s based on employee 

wellness, interdependent 

cohesion and getting to know 

employees outside the of f i c e , ” 

Zatu said. 

Some team members 

h av e n ’t played the game 

before, but this didn’t deter 

them. The team placed fifth on 

the log out 20. 

“Though we suffered a 

defeat this week by losing 

against Land Grabbers 11-0, 

that is not stopping us from 

fighting for top position in the 

log,” Zatu said. 

Runners shine in the 

wet in Buffs Marathon 

AMANDA NANO 

The 46th Buffs 

Marathon took place on 

a wet Sunday morning, 

with hundreds of 

runners taking part in 

the full marathon and 

h a l f - m a r at h o n . 

The 42.2km marathon 

started just outside 

Macleantown and the 

21.1km half-marathon 

just outside Python 

Pa r k . 

The marathon also 

serves as a qualifier for 

the Two Oceans and 

Comrades marathons 

later this year. 

Winner of the ladies 

21km race, Charlotte 

Firth from the UK, 

entered the competition 

for fun whilst visiting a 

friend. 

“For me, the weather 

was perfect because it's 

similar back home. 

“Had it been humid, I 

wouldn't have survived. 

I just thought it would 

be something fun to do 

as my friend is taking
