War of
words
AMANDA NANO
erupts
Outsiders hurl insults during
service delivery feedback
Thembela Ndlumbini
Ameeting of over 200
Zwelitsha residents who
pitched to hear Ward 41’s
service delivery report at
Oliver Reginald Thambo
Community Hall last Sunday
erupted into a war of words among
some residents.
Former Zwelitsha resident Joe
Nkopo said
the community
had
initially
r e q u e st e d
the report in
order to
account for issues affecting service
delivery in the area.
The meeting started out
smoothly with ward councillor
Sindiswa Skepe welcoming
attendees and starting to discuss
the report with the residents.
However, things soon became
heated when residents of
Phakamisa, Breidbach, Tshatshu
and Sweetwater caused an uproar,
saying it was their right to attend
the meeting.
Skepe was forced to intervene to
try and keep the peace and eventually
resorted to calling in law enforce
ment to help with the situation.
After a brief but tense stand-off,
the complainants left peacefully
but not before swearing and
insulting Zwelitsha residents.
Once the meeting was allowed to
continue, Skepe faced heavy
criticism from residents over poor
service delivery and lack of funds.
“In 2016 and ’17, you didn’t give
a report and you are supposed to
give one quarterly.
“You are
the one who
is not
calling for
the report,”
Zwelitsha
senior
citizen Velelo Baleni said.
Other residents accused Skepe
of spending council money on
friends and giving jobs to friends
and relatives.
“I know you choose your friends
for tenders and after that, you
receive envelopes with money and
drinks,” said resident Buntu
Dikana.
Skepe said she had always
called a quarterly meeting and
brushed off accusations against
her as false. “I always call a
meeting quarterly. People must
attend the meetings to get full
information about the development
of Zwelitsha,” she said.
I know you choose your friends for
tenders and after that, you receive
envelopes with money and drinks

Bikers
cruise
in for
rally
A sense of belonging, family and
friendship was evident as scores of
bikers descended on King William’s
Town for the fourth annual Road
Eagles MCC Rally at the Botanical
Gardens, from April 5 to 7.
The club, established in 1997, saw a
weekend of games and bonding, with
bikers travelling from as far as Cape
Town, Johannesburg and Durban to
take part.
Road Eagles vice president Lisa
Quluba said the rally was a success,
although the number of participants
was down slightly from 2018.
“Friday was a slow start with the
rain putting a damper on things a bit,
also there was another rally taking
place in East London,” Quluba said.
Serving free coffee all weekend was
the Christian Motorcycles Association
(CMA), which has taken part in the
rally since its inception.
“We ’re here to serve the community,
to create friendship, for the people in
need and also to give a voice of hope,”
CMA vice president Brandon van der
Merwe said.
Saturday saw lots of activity, starting
with a mass ride from King through to
Zwelitsha and back.
The GO! was fortunate to catch a
ride, and witnessed excited children on
the streets waving the bikers on.
While the games continued, the
popular mechanical bull saw many
eager adults and children challenging
each other.
The evening saw the highlight of the
rally – ‘Patching of New Members’ –
where four new members were given
the symbolic keys to their motorcycles.
Prizes were also given to clubs with
the most members, and to the three
riders who had travelled the furthest
distance to the rally.
Representing an all-female club,
Bongiwe Didiza, of Trail Blazers, came
to support her cousin, who is a Road
Eagles member.
“I thought it would be great to come
build relations with other Eastern Cape
clubs,” Didiza said.

to help animals
SIVENATHI GOSA
BUSINESS SENSE: Fine art photographer and Buckaroo initiator Marlene Neumann was the guest speaker

Pleasant weekend weather ahead
After last week’s taste of winter,
this week’s weather looks set to be
some of the most pleasant so far.
Things start off comfortably
enough on Thursday with the
maximum temperature reaching a
warm 25°C.
There will be a few clouds in the
sky and a brisk breeze of 18km/h
from the north-east.
Fr i d ay ’s weather only improves
with the wind dying down to just
7km/h and the few clouds from
Thursday burning off, leaving clear
skies. Temperatures remain steady
at 25°C.
Despite temperatures dropping a
little on Saturday to 22°C,
conditions promises to be still
pleasant enough. Light cloud cover
is expected and the wind will
increase to 11km/h from the south.
Finally, Sunday sees rain
predicted for the afternoon
although the temperature remains
mild at 21°C. Unfortunately, a
south-westerly wind is expected to
increase yet again to 22km/h.
Non-profit organisation
Whistle and Wags Animal
Friends held a fundraising
event on Sunday morning at
Gonubie Spar in order to
raise money for muchneeded
pet food and
healthcare supplies to
distribute to animal shelters.
“Whistle and Wags Animal
Friends was founded by a
group of animal lovers who
saw a need for a feeding
programme to assist animal
shelters with pet food and
healthcare supplies, to
enable rescue shelters to
focus on their rescue efforts,”
Whistle and Wags member
Michelle Henning said.
Henning said their future
goal was to assist families
facing financial hardships,
with pet food to be able to
feed their pets.
“Our main objectives are to
fill the bowls of rescued
animals, to network for
animals in need of rehoming
or fostering and to promote
the education of the humane
treatment of animals,
domestic and wild.”
Henning said they do not
have kennels to house
rescued animals but had
recently fostered eight
puppies and their mother for
a local animal welfare
o r g a n i s at i o n .
“We have adopted the
mother who has a loving
temperament, and have
named her Gypsy,” she said.

Whistle and Wags Animal
Friends has also assisted
Meals on Wheels, an
organisation that assists in
feeding people who are
disabled, financially
constrained and elderly
people.
“We were astounded to
learn that there are 50 dogs,
39 cats, two roosters and
one wild bird on their [Meals
on Wheels] route,” Henning
said.
“As one of our goals is to
assist families with pets who
are in financial hardship, we
made contact with them
[Meals on Wheels],” Henning
said.
They raised R720 through
the sale of books, a raffle
and monetary donations and
collected a trolley full of pet
food to distribute to the
family pets of Meals on
Wheels recipients.
“We are all animal lovers
blessed with different skills
and talents and
personalities. We would
appreciate any donations of
pet food, fencing, wooden
pallets, any unwanted
household items, books,
blankets, which we will
distribute to various animal
welfare organisations.
“We are on Facebook
where one can follow our
initiatives and fundraisers.
“Our telephone number is
063-979-3431.
“We wish to thank
everyone who supported us
on Sunday,” said Henning.

Dan Patlansky
live at Legends
MATTHEW FIELD
We l l - known South African blues
musician Dan Patlansky will be
bringing his latest show, Duo
Elect ric, to Legends Showcase on
April 18 in support of the
Cornerstone Anti Human Trafficking
Institute (CAHTI) and
#Ar tistsAgainstSlaver y.
CAHTI was established in 2018
and aims to protect and advance
the rights of human trafficking
survivors, as well as raise
awareness about the issue.
This is Patlansky’s first
collaboration with CAHTI and he
said he “really believed in their
cause”.
Pat l a n s k y first got into music at
a young age.
“Growing up, my parents listened
to music constantly, so I would say
the love of music came from them.
It’s always been a massive part of
my life,” he said.
It was his parents who also
convinced him to take up blues as
his genre of choice.
“The type of music my parents
constantly played was the blues
and music within the blues realm.
“It felt like the most natural form
of music to play, I felt like I knew it
a l r e a d y, ” said Patlans k y.
The show is scheduled to start at
8pm and tickets are R150 per
person. Bookings can be made
online at http://bit.ly/2T5F9L6.

TALKING ABOUT MUSIC: Vocalists and producers attend Samro’s informative roadshow talks on
copyright laws, at the Eastern Cape Audio Visual Centre in East London Picture: AMANDA NANO
Artists informed about
copyright and royalties
AMANDA NANO
Music royalties and other
burning issues were on the table
as the South African Music
Rights Organisation visited East
London musicians at the Eastern
Cape Audio Visual Centre in East
London last Friday.
It formed part of the
o r g a n i s at i o n ’s nationwide
roadshow to inform Samro
members about the importance
of public domain works.
Artwork remains copyright
protected for the duration of the
c r e at o r ’s life and then 50 years
after their death.
As Samro legal services
general manager Chola
Makgamathe said, once the 50
year limit ends, then the
protection expires and artwork
falls within the public domain for
royalty-free usage and
exploitation, without legal
consequences.
“There needs to be a careful
balancing act between the
protectors of the works and the
users of the works,”
Makgamathe said.
Other issues touched on
included the infringement of
moral rights, such as doing a
cover version of someone’s song
and posting it on YouTube
without acknowledging the
ar tist.
“It is to your benefit to keep
records of your original creation
in case of infringement,” Samro
managing director Andre Le
Roux said.
Matters also arose of stolen
work and how one can prove the
work is indeed their own.
Another issue was the
visibility of Samro within the
Eastern Cape.
For producer and vocalist
Lungisile Mdunyelwa, the
workshop gave him a broader
understanding of how public
domain works.
“I wish Samro could have an
office in the province because a
lot of information can be passed
on,” Mdunyelwa said.

Samro on m a r k e t i n g @ s a m ro . o r g . z a

Young boxers trade leather
THEMBELA NDLUMBINI
Boxing lovers flocked to King
William’s Park on Saturday for
the amateur boxing tournament
organised by local
businessman Fred de Abreu for
young boxers from in and
around King William’s Town.
Spirits were high despite the
poor state of the ring – and no
injuries were reported
Accompanying De Abreu to
the tournament was former IBF
World Champion We l c o m e
“Ta ko m ” Ncita.
There were 51 bouts fought
in the boys category with five
bouts fought in the girls’
categor y.
Winners were presented with
medals and trophies, as well as
meals.
“We are developing King
William’s Town amateur boxers
and we are protecting our kids
from drugs and we want them
to stay away from bad
elements,” De Abreu said.
He said this tournament
showed people that boxing was
a sport that could unite
children and helped them stay
away from drugs or other
harmful activities.
“We have made a call to
parents to help us by
supporting their children,”
Zwelitsha Boxing Club manager
Siza Helwana said.
He also said a major
stumbling block for boxing in
King William’s Town was
sponsorship.
Former professional boxer
Nkosomzi Moss welcomed the
tournament as it kept children
busy after school hours.
“We are appealing to the
department of sports, business
people and people of South
Africa to support boxing,” he
said. One of the parents,

Once again, East London schools are
gearing up for the latest edition of
the East London Port Rex Lions
E i st e d d fo d .
From April 29 to May 10, schools
will go head to head in a number of
musical recitals which will
demonstrate their classical music
skills.
The first East London eisteddfod
was held in 1922 while the e i st e d d fo d
in its current form emerged in 1983,
organised by the South African
Society of Music Teachers.
The East London Port Rex Lions
Club became involved with the
eisteddfod in the 1980s and have
been primary sponsors since.
From its onset, the main focus of
the East London eisteddfod has been
classical music. Recitals include
chamber choirs, marimba bands, and
choral sections, all putting their
music abilities to the test.
While classical music remains the
core focus, a contemporary music
section was added in 2015 to cater to
pupils wishing to perform on more
contemporary instruments.
Also in 2015, floating trophies were
replaced with medals sponsored by
Lee Gold Music which winners can
take home.

Egg-ceptional display at mall
GO REPORTER
Lack of bin provision
adds to our litter woes
MATTHEW FIELD
The work of five local
artists will be on
display at Vincent Park
Shopping Centre from
Friday until the end of
M ay.
The artists – N at a s h a
Bezuidenhout, Unathi
Feni, Mziwoxolo
Makalima and Kate
Teesdale – have been
commissioned by
Vincent Park to
decorate oversized eggs
as part of the mall’s
Vincent Park Paints
Easter campaign.
The fifth artist is a
local primary school
pupil whose work was
selected by public vote
from more than 330
ent ries.
The entry has been
adapted and interpreted
onto a threedimensional
sphere by
Lynne Price, well-known
artist and owner of I
Left My Heart in Africa,
a community art
initiative based in
Chintsa.
“We are incredibly
proud to be working
with local artists and
are really excited to
offer them the
opportunity to
showcase their talents
to the greater East
London public,” said

SPCA in need of public’s help
Our front page story this week
is about an admirable new
recycling initiative that aims to
not only help clean up the
streets, but also help the
environment.
The problem of waste is
certainly something BCM
residents know a thing or two
about.
Even when the municipality
isn’t on strike, it seems that
there’s just no end to the litter
that fills streets, clogs gutters
and ruins beachfronts.
I want to look at an aspect of
this problem that I don’t think
gets much attention or, at
least, doesn’t get as much
attention as it deserves.
And that is the lack of refuse
bins in and around the BCM
area. While it is true that there
are those who simply dump
their rubbish at the most
convenient spot and forget
about it, the truth is that
there’s not much choice for
those who want to do things
p r o p e r l y.
Nahoon Corner is one of the
most popular beach spots
around Nahoon Beach and
sees heavy foot traffic,
especially over weekends.
However, there are only a
handful of bins provided – and
a good number of them are
actually broken.
Go down to Corner on a
Sunday morning and you’ll find
the bins overflowing with even
more rubbish piled around
them. It is clear that the
number of bins is grossly
WASTE WISE: Providing more bins in key areas would go a long
way to combat littering
Picture: FILE
inadequate for the amount of
waste generated but nothing
has really been done about it.
The fact that people took the
time to not only fill the bins
but then ensure they left their
rubbish by them
when they were
full, shows that
beach-goers
aren’t as
careless as we’d
like to think.
Clearly they want
to use the bins
and properly
dispose of their
rubbish but
simply cannot.
Yes, people leaving their
rubbish on the beach itself is
problematic and should be
rightly criticised. But why
aren’t any bins provided along
the beach for people to use?
As it stands, the closest bins
are at Corner or the Lifesaver
Shack and, as we just
discussed, even these are
inadequate to meet demand.
This can be extended to the
city as a whole. In many areas,
there are simply
not enough bins
provided to cope
with the amount
of waste
generated, which
means the ones
that are present
quickly fill up,
leaving residents
with nowhere else
to dispose of their
rubbish.
It won’t solve our litter
problem entirely, of course, but
surely one of the best ways to
encourage proper waste
disposal is to give citizens the
option to do so in the first
place?
Dedicated professional
people are needed who
are able to commit
time, effort and
expertise to ensure the
survival of the East
London SPCA.
The East London
SPCA has been through
a tumultuous time and
needs strong leadership
at the helm to take the
SPCA to new heights.
Each SPCA is an
independently
registered non-profit
o r g a n i s at i o n
responsible for its own
sur vival.
Of course the key
factor is funding,
especially as no
financial support is
received from
government and any
income from a
municipal source is not
a grant but payment for
services rendered in
connection with taking
in stray animals.
However, it may
surprise most people to
learn that the main
reason SPCAs have
closed over the past 20
years is the lack of
community support.
Each SPCA needs an
elected management
committee (or “Board”)
comprised of local
people. This is the body
which directs, plans,
organises and ensures
the future of the SPCA.
In instances when an
insufficient number of
people from the
surrounding community
can be found to
undertake this function,
the SPCAs have
floundered and closure
has followed.
Please do not let this
happen to your SPCA!
An appeal is made not
to take the SPCA for
granted but to be part
of its future and the
solution to animal
welfare in your district.
The SPCA provides a
service which is
essential to the animals
and the community.
The East London
SPCA has been in
existence for over 100
years and it would be
devastating day if this
legacy were to end and
the Society were to
close its doors due to
the lack of community
suppor t.
We cover an
extensive area,
incorporating large
areas with indigent
citizens and with
numerous animal
related facilities, that
require regular
inspection. The cociety
admits over 6,000
animals of all species
and deals with over
11,000 animals through
cruelty complaints and
routine inspections
annually. This they do
currently with only two
inspectors and one field
officer. Far too often
when an SPCA is in
financial difficulty,
well-meaning people
come forward offering
to help by raising funds.
This is deeply
appreciated but
ensuring the existence
of an SPCA is an
around-the-clock
function and firmly
vested in the
communit y.
We are calling a
special general meeting
on Saturday May 4 at
10am at Griffon Hall,
Buffalo Club, 1 Buffalo
Park Dive, Quigney in
order for us to elect a
fully functioning
management
commit tee.
Individuals, especially
with business
backgrounds, may
submit a one-page CV
to Vonny Strachan at
ecliaison@nspca.co.za
before April 26.

‘Our Planet’ re v e a l s
the good, bad, ugly
MATTHEW FIELD
There are many words
one could use to describe
Our Planet, a nature
documentary recently
released on Netflix.
Our Planet breaks away
from the more traditional
nature documentary
format in that it makes no
bones about the fact the
beauty it is showing is
under threat from
humans.
Truly gorgeous shots of
rainforests, savannah and
Arctic wilderness are
quickly followed up by
tragic reality.
One particularly painful
example comes when
narrator David
Attenborough, the king of
nature documentaries,
spends a good 15 minutes
exploring a lush rainforest
and the unique animals
that live there.
When he’s done, he
pauses, as if in tragic
contemplation, and
explains how the
rainforest was cut down
years ago to make way for
a palm oil plantation.
It is this sense of
rapturous awe of nature
combined with
unflinching examination
of its destruction, that
makes Our Planet so
captivating and yet so
hard to watch.
The series doesn’t
tip-toe around the issue
and says right up front
that it is humanity and its
unquenchable thirst for
resources, that is
decimating the natural
world.
And, while Our Planet
has plenty of hard truths,
it is also not without
hope. As Attenborough
says in the conclusion of
one of the last episodes,
we have a choice.
We can continue with
business as usual or we
could turn around and
save not just the planet
but ourselves as well.
There is still time but,
as the Netflix series
points out, the window is
growing smaller by the
d ay.

Celebrating 20 years
SIVENATHI GOSA
Celebrating two decades in the
business, SuperSPAR Highway in
Mdantsane recently honoured
their five “long service” w o r ke r s
who have been with them since
the beginning.
Noluthando Mapipa,
Nonzwakazi Mabandla, Nosipho
Lobese, Thandeka Mahlathi,
Bongiwe Shweyi and Mongezi
Booi all shared their gratitude
about the positive effect SPAR
had had on their lives.
“I started working for SPAR in
1999, where we were taken to
Southernwood for training as
cashiers. We were then taken to
Mdantsane, where received more
training, specifically on how to
handle customers,” Mapipa said.
“SuperSPAR Highway was
officially opened on March 25
1999 and six months after the
opening of the store, I was
promoted as the supervisor,”
said Mapipa.
“Before being a SPAR
employee, we were not business
minded. Throughout these 20
years, we gained a lot of
knowledge in terms of customer
services, communication skills
and many more.
“They are also providing us
with some educational
programmes for employees.
SPAR also gives learnerships to
university students during their
holidays, so that they can gain
some work experience and earn
a stipend,” Mapipa said.
The original SPAR burned
down in October 2013 and the
employees were left jobless for
three months until the new
owners took over and
re-employed them.
“We are grateful to the owners
because they could have hired a
new team, but they decided to
take us back after the tragedy.
We would like to thank
SuperSPAR Highway for the
opportunities that they have
granted us with,” Mapipa said.
Moldenhauer Group supports
these charity organisations:
GOD’S HEART DESIRE
CHILDREN’S HOME IN FORT
J A C KS O N
This initiative caters for 32
children who are taken care of
full-time.
“The new centre in Fort
Jackson was built by the
Moldenhauer Group. We are
currently adding to the centre
with a new bathroom and
laundry room,” marketing and
corporate social investment
coordinater of Moldenhauer
Group Alexi Carreira said.
KUYASA HOPE ON THE HILL
FOUNDATION IN NU 3
MDANTS ANE,
REAL VIEW FOUNDATION
Moldenhauer Group has
partnered with Bulelani Fowl,
from the Real View Foundation.
The initiative feeds just over 500
children three times per day on a
budget of R1,300 per week.

Originally, the Moldenhauer

Group became involved when
the bricks ordered for the
building of the church of the
church were stolen. Build It
stepped in and offered to build
and finish the church.
“Not only have we opted to
build the church, but as a
method to help self-sustain the
members of the church, we have
initiated a plastic bottle
recycling initiative which sees
thousands of plastic bottles
being gathered and recycled.
The proceeds are put back into
the church and the surrounding
communit y,” Carreira said.
Moldenhauer also supports a
number of outreach programmes
every week with food.
“We donate food parcels to
the following organisations on a
weekly basis: Masizakhe
Children's Home, Ethembeni Old
Age Home, Mamas Club Old Age
Home, Siyazama Old Age Home
and Kukhulu HIV Centre,”
Carreira said.

Time for
that epic

GO REPORTER
Scripture Union (SU)
Amatola will be hosting
their annual Epic Easter
Egg Hunt again this
year in James Pearce
Park, Stirling on
Saturday April 20.
Scripture Union offers
both life skills and
faith-based activities in
14 schools across
Buffalo City Metro.
Funds raised from
this event go towards
their lifeskills courses
and camps, as well as
holiday clubs and
school Christian groups.
“Our Epic Easter Egg
Hunt was a great
success in 2018 and we
received a lot of
positive feedback, and
numerous requests to
run it again. We are
looking forward to a
fantastic event,” SU
Amatola regional
director Matthew
Tarboton said.
The hunt runs from
10.30am to 1.30pm and
costs R70 per child
aged between two and
12. Tickets will only be
sold in advance.
Entry includes a
bunny bag for the hunt,
Easter activities,
jumping castles, a soft
play area for toddlers,
as well as competitions
and giveaways.
Food will be on sale

to bring a picnic
blanket along and enjoy
lunch in the park.

tickets will be sold on

Easter
upon us
again
MATTHEW FIELD
Easter is one of the
more jolly holidays on
the public calendar,
second only to
Christmas (in my
opinion) when it comes
to good vibes.
Both are celebrations
of key moments in
Christianity (the
resurrection of Jesus
Christ and his birth,
respectively), both
borrow heavily from
pre-historical pagan
traditions, and both
focus on the giving of
free stuff to other
people.
It helps that Easter in
SA falls in that magical
time of the year where
the oppressive heat of
summer is on its way
out but the bitter chill
of winter hasn’t quite
arrived yet.
There’s always ideal
photo opportunities too.
So why not take the
chance to take a few
choice shots and send
them through to us? If
we get enough, we’ll
put together a special
Easter collage in our
April 25 edition.
Photographs can be
sent through to goexp

Fun and funds with
Zombie Run
MATTHEW FIELD
Belgravia Art Centre and
Jonginenge Eco-Adventures will be
co-hosting a 5km Zombie Run at
Lavender Blue on Saturday.
The run will help raise money for
the art centre, as well as
Jonginenge’s ongoing Surf Outreach
programme.
“With more than 600 pupils from
grades 1 to 12, we would like to
develop the centre and be able to
extend our services to more
outreach programmes,” B e l g r av i a
staff member Patsy Hoelandt said.
“We would also like to do building
alterations for our sculpture
depar tment.”
According to her, she also said
they wanted to use the funds to
improve access for disabled
students since, according to her, the
school “is not wheelchair-friendly”.
The Jonginenge Surf Outreach
programme has been running for
two years and provides surf lessons
to children at Nahoon Beach every
S at u r d ay.
The programme currently hosts 20
children and Jonginenge wants to
raise funds to accommodate more.
Entry fees are R80 per adult and
R40 for children under the age of 10.
Entry forms are available at Slaters,
Party Magic, and Nina Deli or e-mail
zombierunel@gmail.com.
Late entry on the day can be done
at Lavender Blue from 12.30pm.
T-shirts will be given to the first
100 entrants.
Runners are encouraged to dress
up as zombies for the event. They
might even be chased by “zo m b i e s ”
along the route.

Easter Rugby Festival in KwaZulu-Natal from April 18 to

Ṫhey will be competing against 11 other top school
rugby teams from across the country, namely:

In addition to thrilling rugby, members of the KZN
Rugby Union and the Sharks Academy will be watching
the matches to identify potential future players which
will surely encourage participanting players to be on
top form throughout.
Sharks Academy managing director Etienne Fynn
said the Kearsney Tournament not only brought
together some of the top schoolboy rugby talent from
across the country, it was also a great opportunity to
expose players and coaches to the Sharks brand.
“Rugby has become a realistic career opportunity
and the festival is an ideal springboard for players to
show their skill and flair for the game, whilst also
providing obvious benefits to rugby in the province,”
said Fynn.
The kick-off is 9.30am daily and gate entrance is
R25 per person

SIVENATHI GOSA
The department of sport,
recreation, arts and
culture (DSRAC) has
come up with a R4.2m
lifeline to help the
liquidated Border Bulldogs get
back into the rugby limelight.
The lifeline will see the team
take part in the SuperSport
Challenge and the Currie Cup B
Division competitions later this
y e a r.
“In 2018, the general public
learnt with shock that Border
Rugby Union was facing serious
challenges in terms of
administration and compliance
with South African Rugby Union
[Saru] prescripts and policies,”
Dsrac MEC Bulelwa Tunyiswa
said. “The matter became a
subject of discussion on various
platforms, with some calling for
government intervention,” she
said.
Tunyiswa said Saru had
confirmed that Border Rugby
had indeed been suspended
from playing over the past two
seasons; this included
participation in national
competitions by the men’s rugby
senior team (Border Bulldogs)
and attendance by the executive
in all (Saru) constitutional
meetings.
“In January 2019, a process of
engagement between DSRAC,
Buffalo City Municipality, Saru
and Eastern Cape Sport
TO THE RESCUE: DSRAC MEC Bulelwa Tunyiswa announced last
Friday the department will inject R4.2m into the Border Bulldogs to
get them back on track
Picture: SIVENATHI GOSA
Confederation(ECSC) started to
gain momentum and, as a result,
DSRAC started to take the lead
in negotiating with Saru to
re-open the window of
participation by the Border
Bulldogs.
“Saving Border Rugby would
save young players from being
rugby ‘migrant labourers’ as the
absence of a team would mean
that they must go to other
provinces to have a chance to
p l ay, ” Tunyiswa said.
The coaching staff were still
on the Saru payroll, which meant
that Saru was still incurring
expenses regarding their
salaries.
Saru executive member
Monde Tabata said Border Rugby
were not attracting sponsors and
owed SARS lots of money.
“You can never run a club
without sponsors. Two-thirds of
the budget should come from
sponsorships,” Tabata said.
DSRAC senior manager
Bafundi Makubalo said the
players were in good shape to
participate in upcoming events,
as some of them were part of
the team that won the Eastern
Cape Super 12 Rugby
competition last month, and
others were currently playing in
the Gold Cup.
Border Bulldogs scrumhalf
Bangi Kobese said the past six
months had been tough, but the
players have been pushing hard.
“We are really grateful in what
the government is doing for the
team,” he added.

Sons run for cancer support
AMANDA NANO
The “Three Cousins” –
Brenton de la Harpe,
David Prinsloo and
Russell Weare – are on
a mission to raise R1m
for East London-based
cancer support group
Reach for Recovery
(R4R).
The trio know what
it’s like to have cancer
affect family as their
mothers have all been
diagnosed with it.
Prinsloo and De La
Harpe’s mothers have
sadly succumbed to the
disease.
“Together we are
aiming to raise this sum
by running the 90km
Comrades Marathon on
June 9 from Durban to
Pietermaritzburg,”
committee member
Maureen Smith said.
Smith said 2% of
their target had been
raised so far.
“With less than t wo
months to go to
Comrades 2019, any
contribution, no matter
how big or small, will
go a long way to
rectifying our current
short fall,” Smith said.
R4R is affiliated to
the international body
bearing the same name
and aims to help
women with breast
cancer. The non-profit
organisation was
started in 1972 by
Theresa Lasser, who
had a mastectomy and
realised that other
women who had been
through similar
circumstances would
need assistance.
Weare is an Old
Selbornian who has
competed in a number
of marathon runs.
His mother, Rosalie,
is an active member of
the R4R East London
branch.
The “Three Cousins”
will compete in the Two
Oceans Marathon on
April 20 in Cape Town.

have been affected by breast cancer in the 2019 Comrades Marathon and
to raise funds for a cancer support group. Donations via
