Celebration of
‘Atypical’ bond
NEW RELEASE:
EL musician
Jordan Dysel
released his
single, ‘Atypical’,
last week
Picture: SUPPLIED
Making music is what Jordan Dysel loves most
MATTHEW FIELD
EL musician Jordan Dysel is
proud to release his new
single, At ypical, which
dropped on Friday.
“I wrote it from my
perspective of a new
r e l a t i o n s h i p ,” Dysel said.
“It celebrates the love and
the bond between two people,
their unique relationship.”
Dysel has been passionate
about music from an early age,
having started with the piano.
“I had that ability to read
music and translate what I heard
onto the piano. My parents saw
that I had some ability so they
took me to piano lessons and
that led to me taking music at
s ch o o l ,” he said.
Music production is
something that has always
fascinated Dysel.
“Even in high school, I’d
watch YouTube videos of people
making their albums and that
inspired me to realise that was
what I wanted to do,” he said.
Dysel’s first single dropped
back in 2018 and was called
Faded Love.
“A few months later that
same year, I wrote another song
called What ’s On the Moon. In
2019, I released a collaboration
with Austin Summers and that
was called Without You.
“I haven’t released a lot of
music but I’ve been working on
solidifying my ideas so I can
start rolling it out now.”
Dysel said one of the biggest
challenges he’s faced as an artist
is trying to come up with
something unique and he was
constantly challenging himself
to push boundaries.
“It’s not always easy,” he
said, adding that music offered
him a great stress release.
“It’s something that I can go
to and it will make me feel a bit
more calm, and being able to
write a story and to share that
with someone,” he said.
- ‘At ypical’ is available on all
leading music streaming
ser vices.

Official provincial name change
committee launched in Bhisho
Applications open for East London’s new name
SIPHOSIHLE DYONASE
Department of sport,
recreation, arts and
culture (Dsrac) MEC
Fezeka Nkomonye held an
official inauguration of the
Eastern Cape Provincial
Geographical Names
Committee (ECPGNC) council
in Bhisho on Friday
The re-establishment of the
ECPGNC council is an attempt
by Dsrac to ensure the
continued identification,
management, conservation
and promoting of heritage
resources in the Eastern Cape
P r ov i n c e .
“Our department has a
constitutional mandate to drive
social cohesion and nation
building, as well as contribute to
the transformation agenda of the
c o u n t r y,” Nkomonye said.
“The building of a united
nation requires a deliberate
programme to redress and
transform the divisive legacy of
our past. Apartheid symbols,
names and other artefacts
continue to represent the
exclusion and discrimination of
the past.”
“This is not just about the
names, but it speaks to our
identity as a nation, we have a
task to construct a common
identity that affirms the culture,
language and symbols of the
indigenous people of this
c o u n t r y.
“We must never shy away
from correcting the injustices of
the past, the affirmation and
inclusion of the previously
marginalised. The name
changes are about restoring the
dignity and making visible all
those who made invisible by
a p a r t h e i d - c o l o n i a l i s m .”
The MEC further said that the
previous committee is
commended for advancing and
fast-tracking standardisation of
the names of places in the
Eastern Cape.
“To date, more than 200
place names have been
standardised in the province.
The outgoing Committee led by
Councillor Pumla Nazo has
succeeded in changing names
of strategic and key centres.
“These include
Grahamstown to Makhanda,
King William’s Town to Qonce,
Uitenhage to Kariega, Aliwal
North to Maletswai,
Queenstown to Komani
and Port Elizabeth to
G q e b e r h a .”
As previously reported by
the Daily Dispatch (‘East
London to keep its name — for
n ow ’, June 21), Nkomonye said
that there was no proposed
change of East London’s name
in the near future due to the
proposed name, KuGompo,
already being taken by the
informal settlement in the area.
However, applications were
still open for potential new
names for the city.
Members of the ECPGNC
council are appointed by MEC
Nkomonye in terms of Section 2
(2)(a) of the South African
Geographical Names Council
Act (Act No. 118 of 1998).
The Acts stipulate the
number of members that should
compose a council and the term
of office for the council
members.
The following members who
were appointed as the incoming
committee to serve office for the
coming three years:
● Zukile Jodwana (chairperson)
● Alderman Samkelo Janda
(Mbhashe LM executive mayor)
● Christian Martin (Khoi and
San heritage activist and former
MPL)
● Lukhanyo Sigonyela
(Amathole DGNC member)

Vaccination truck on a roll
ROLLING OUT: The GCIS
truck assisted BCM with their
vaccination roll-out
Picture: SUPPLIED
SIPHOSIHLE DYONASE
Buffalo City Municipaliy
welcomed the arrival of
t h e G ove r n m e n t
Communication and
Information System (GCIS)
Covid-19 mobile vaccination
truck last week.
The mobile truck carried out
activations in three regions
of the metro, which is the
coastal, midland as well
Bringing awareness and jabs to the elderly in their communities
as the inland regions.
The activation was aimed at
assisting the city to reduce the
increasing number of infections.
“This is part of government’s
campaign to give awareness
about the vaccination
programme targeting the elderly
aged 60 years and above as well
as to educate the elderly about
the registration process through
the EVDS self-registration
p o r t a l .” said BCM spokesperson
Samkelo Ngwenya.
Ngwenya said that the city
needs to emphasise the message
of wearing masks, sanitising
and maintaining social
distancing, as these measures
were still the most effective
way to combat Covid-19.
“There must be constant
awareness to affect behavioral
change, and this is where the
GCIS vaccination mobile truck
is key as it goes to the heart beat
of the destinations where our
people reside in townships, taxi
ranks, malls.
“By doing so, we hope it
serves as a reminder that old
people need to vaccinate and
the young ones must assist in
registering the elderly. “
He explained that the
municipaliy had observed that
numbers are increasing “as the
president reiterated that
prevention of this virus is
e ve r yo n e ’s responsibility”.

Enabling activities boost
your motor functionality
Cerebral palsy sufferers benefit from
therapeutic stimulation and exercise
WENDY KRETSCHMANN
Though cerebral palsy does hold
restrictions, there are sufferers who
have sufficient functionality to
enable them to participate in activities
that able-bodied people would, although
at a lower capability level.
Ideal activities for those with cerebral
palsy would be ones that encourage
them to move around while using their
affected movement and body parts
repeatedly and consistently so as to
stimulate and exercise their motor
f u n c t i o n a l i t y.
In researching the best type of
activities for children with cerebral palsy,
it struck me how many of the activities
suggested formed a natural part of my
childhood and yet seem to have been
cast aside by many parents to the
detriment of the current generation.
The activities mentioned are ones that
cerebral palsy sufferers can potentially
participate in on their own, with caregivers
or with able-bodied persons and
though mainly focussing on children,
adults can benefit from some of them as
well. Visit FlintRehab.com for more
ideas.
Growing up as a child, I loved the
sense of freedom I gained from being on
the playground swing. I would swing as
high as I could (or as high as my courage
permitted) so that I could try touch the
sky. Little did I think of the benefits of this
fun activity.
A swing requires one to pump the
legs to build momentum and power
thereby encouraging more leg
movement. A certain amount of grip and
balance is also needed. All of this is vital
therapy for children with cerebral palsy.
Hula hooping - now there is
something I could never master.
Hula hooping activates a number of
areas of the brain as it requires rhythm,
concentration and co-ordination. The
process of swinging one of these hoops
around an arm can also help children
whose arms are affected by cerebral
p a l s y.
Do you remember doing the Hokey
Pokey or Head, Shoulders, Knees and
Toes? Well, while we were dancing
around with the corresponding and
repetitive hand actions we were
improving our motor functions and
learning to time, anticipate and coordinate
our movements.
Even simple hand-clapping games
have advantages as they promote arm
and hand functionality. They also have
easy-to-learn and catchy songs that
accompany them such as my personal
favourite, “A sailor went to sea.”
Another game we played was
“I s l a n d .”
Little did we know that when we
were stepping from one ‘island’ to
another to avoid the ‘sharks’ in the
‘wa t e r ’, we were actually improving our
balance and learning to control where
we stepped.
Believe it or not, board games have
benefits too. Sadly they are often referred
to as “bored” games.
Besides encouraging children to
count, strategize and take risks, board
games assist with the development of
cognitive skills and improve fine motor
skills.
More adventurous therapeutic pasttimes
include sports such as swimming.
Swimming provides cerebral palsy
sufferers with the opportunity to move
around more freely than they would
normally be able to simultaneously
strengthening their muscles.
Adaptive sports, of which swimming
is one, promotes an active lifestyle while
encouraging teamwork, sportsmanship
and the establishment of goals.
These sports sometimes require
special equipment and clothing to assist
disabled persons to participate to the best
of their abilities in their sport of choice.
An extensive list of these sports and
the relevant equipment can be found at
disabilityinfosa.co.za which also
provides information about the
Pa ra l y m p i c s .
The Paralympics opens up an even
wider world to those with the condition
as they have a number of categories
AQUA THERAPY: Swimming is an essential form of therapy at Canaan Care
Centre Picture: LEIGH TEBBUTT
under which cerebral palsy sufferers can
enter in a vast array of sporting codes.
So as much as cerebral palsy can be
disabling or restrictive, there are still
many opportunities to enable the
majority of sufferers to improve their
quality of life and lead full lives thanks to
their strong mind-sets and ability to learn
how to adjust to their circumstances or
how to adjust the activities to fit in with
their functional capabilities.

about Cerebral Palsy and raise funds for
Logan Bartle’s medical expenses, the Fit
For Logan Team are aiming to lose a set
amount of weight by October 7.

‘All systems go’ as vaccines
for teachers are distributed
All the doses have arrived in all
the provinces and have been
distributed to all the centres
ON TARGET
SQUASHED MEN’S FINAL
NALEDI SHANGE
The national education
department says it is “all
systems go” for the rollout
of teacher vaccinations from
We d n e s d ay.
Spokesperson Elijah
Mhlanga has clarified, however,
that the vaccinations will not be
administered on school
premises.
“The vaccinations are not
taking place in schools but at
vaccination sites.
“All the vaccines have
arrived in all the provinces and
have been distributed to all the
centres. We are starting
officially tomorrow,” he said on
Tu e s d ay.
Basic education minister
Angie Motshekga said at the
weekend that the department
was hoping to get 582,000 staff
at public and private schools
vaccinated between
Wednesday and July 8.
Jab recipients would include
support workers and people
who work at education
department offices nationally
and provincially.
“As a sector we had
appealed to cabinet and the
department of health that
teachers should be prioritised
and we are excited that vaccines
have been secured,” said
Motshekga.
“We have been working
around the clock to finalise a
plan for the vaccination of our
s t a f f .”
Motshekga had met with
teacher unions, school
governing bodies, independent
schools and the principals'
association before a meeting of
the Council of Education on
Saturday morning to brief them
on the vaccination plan.
“We will be vaccinating
irrespective of age and we will
be vaccinating SGB-appointed
teachers as well as teachers at
private schools.”
Motshekga said vaccinations
would be “voluntary but highly
recommended”, and basic
education department deputy
director-general Granville
Whittle said teachers with
comorbidities who declined to
be vaccinated would not be
penalised. - Ti m e s L I V E

Vaccine rollout for
40 plus on the cards
Requests from scores of concerned people
UNATHI NKANJENI
Acting health minister
Mmamoloko Kubayi-
Ngubane says the
government is looking at
opening the Covid-19 vaccine
registration portal for people
aged 40 years and older.
Kubayi-Ngubane said she
had received requests from
scores of people worried about
the increasing number of
Covid-19 infections.
She told 702 on Monday
that the government was
considering the requests and
changes would be announced
by the end of the week.
“I have received a request to
say we need to consider
opening the 40 plus, specifically
because they are active, they
move and all those things — we
are looking at that,” she said.
Kubayi-Ngubane said
opening up the registration
portal will save the country's
e c o n o my.
“We would like to see the
40-plus registration open in the
coming weeks so we can start
making sure we vaccinate the
people that are active and
moving so we can save our
economy as well,” she said.
According to statistics shared
by the government’s head of
digital communications, Athi
Geleba, fewer than 500,000
people have been fully
vaccinated in the country. At
least 2,142,624 people have
received their first dose of the
va c c i n e .
The National Institute for
Communicable Diseases
(NICD) reported that South
Africa has to date recorded
❝We would like to see
the 40-plus
registration open
soon so we can start
making sure we
vaccinate the people
that are active and
moving and save our
economy as well
1,832,475 confirmed Covid-19
cases and 9,160 new cases were
identified in the past 24 hours,
along with 93 deaths.
Last week, Western Cape
premier Alan Winde said it was
time for the government to open
up Covid-19 vaccine
registrations for citizens aged 50
to 59.
He said there was no reason
this shouldn’t happen while
vaccinations of people 60 and
older continue under the
second phase of the Covid-19
vaccine programme.
He said he was worried that
registration would be left to the
last minute.
“We should rather be getting
as many people registered now
so that we can have a seamless
change to the next phase,
without any delays,” said
Wi n d e .
“I will continue to make
these arguments in my
engagement with the national
government because we must
ensure we are ready for the next
phase as soon as possible.” --

new senior care facility in Summerpride

ADVERTISING FEATURE
GO REPORTER
A new home for seniors is
opening in the Summerpride
area. This brings forth the dream
of Sister Roni Goldblum, who has
had a lifelong career of caring for
others in various institutions.
Ever since the age of nine,
Sister Roni has wanted to nurse all
manner of creatures and humans
back to health.
She started her training at
Frere Hospital and finishing at the
Mater Dei Hospital, also
delivering many babies during
her seven years of tenure.
Since then, she has run the
Salvation Army Clinic, working at
various old age homes, including
Lily Kirchmann. Then she took up
employment at McClelland Adult
Centre where she worked for 22
years until her retirement.
At McClelland, she looked
after 73 residents, some of which
required tender and specialist
care. Not ready to fully retire, she
is now in a position to give a few
more people a safe and happy
home which she does so well
with such passion.
In establishing Roni's Haven
Senior Care in Summerpride
Estate, Sister Roni will be teaming
up with Simon Kirk who adds his
business experience to the
ve n t u r e .
Sister Roni not only offers
quality home care and a happy
atmosphere, she also attends to
health issues such as wound
dressing, blood pressure and
glucose monitoring.
- Sister Roni can be contacted
at 073-198-4600.

Yo u t h
Day

17 entrepreneurs from

cheques from Isiqalo
Youth Fund
SIPHOSIHLE DYONASE
BCM executive mayor Xola Pakati,
together with Eastern Cape premier
Oscar Mabuyane and MEC for social
development Siphokazi Lusithi, held a
special Youth Day event at the East London
ICC last week.
As part of the event, 17 young entrepreneurs
from the metro received cheques from Isiqalo
Youth Fund. The beneficiaries ranged from
sectors such as automotive industry, agriculture
and the visual arts.
“The main objective of the Isiqalo Fund is to
support more young entrepreneurs who will in
turn create employment and plough back into
their communities. This is why we support our
young people through this initiative,” Pakati said.
He further encouraged all young
entrepreneurs who believed that they had ideas
that could assist with transforming the
community to apply for the Fund and submit
their proposals.
“Our future is promising as a province if we
keep on empowering these young minds, who
are the future employers,” Mabuyane said.
“By funding young entrepreneurs, the Eastern
Cape provincial government is ensuring that the
cycle of poverty is broken and small businesses
grow to be big enterprises, which will employ our
own communities.”
Mabuyane added that Isiqalo Youth Fund was
not a loan, but a relief grant that is meant to give
young entrepreneurs a proper start-up.
“All it takes is determination to solve
problems in our current society, identify gaps and
how you can best bring about the solutions,” the
premier said.
“A great proposal accompanied with passion
for what you do, will go a long way in ensuring
that you get the start-up that you need from
g ove r n m e n t .”

MATTHEW FIELD
I don’t think I’ve told you this
before, and I’d appreciate it if
you kept it quiet - I have been
making a bit of a hash of it in the
kitchen lately!
My elementary exploits in
that department began at the
height of the lockdown when
retired people like me were
badly afflicted by cabin-fever,
having been clamped down
with vice-like restrictions by
the well-meaning management
of complexes like ours.
I have to confess though that
the kitchen is an area I have
studiously avoided during the
course of nearly 60 years of
marriage to Naomi.
When we were married, the
first thing I did was to buy her a
Frigidaire refrigerator
(remember those good old
workhorses?) and the biggest
Defy stove I could find and most
Sundays at lunch-time in that
long-gone era when the boys
were growing up, we were
treated to a full-on roast.
I would sometimes pop my
head round the kitchen door
during the cook-up and meekly
enquire “wh e n ’s lunch?”,
and then beat a hasty retreat to
avoid a flying roasting pan or a
blunt object of that nature
aimed at my head.
There she stood, sweltering
in front of a hot stove, dishes
bubbling about all over the
place, one child on her hip and
another yapping at her ankles so
to speak and the brute wants to
know what time’s lunch!
Back in my comfortable
lounge chair, cold refreshment
at hand, heaving a contented
sigh, I said a small prayer for all
mothers and got on with my
Sunday paper.
Well, it wasn’t quite like that
of course, but sometimes pretty
close!
The end result though was
always spectacular. Naomi was
an extraordinary cook and over
the years I have been really
spoilt in this respect.
Still am come to think of it,
the food here is very good.
With the passage of time
Naomi’s eyesight is not what it
used to be and her time in the
kitchen is pretty well over, so the
cooking is now my
r e s p o n s i b i l i t y.
I have to admit I am a big fan
of MasterChef Australia on TV
and am filled with admiration
for what these kids dish up to
the judges. I don’t understand
too much of the culinary

terminology but what comes off
those gas burners is truly
amazing.
So, imbued with a quest for
fine home-cooked cuisine, I
started slowly like trying my
hand at simple bread-making,
following the recipes to the tee
but while I was as chuffed to
discover the power of flour as
Alexander Fleming must have
been when he discovered
penicillin, the bread, golden
brown and crispy on the
outside, was mostly soggy in the
middle.
But the green shoots of
improvement slowly emerged
and what came next were easyto-follow
recipes and making
things like tuna fritters, banana
fritters pumpkin fritters, fritters
coming out of your ears and
discovering a hundred ways of
cooking potatoes and exciting
methods of preparing porridge.
But I must tell you, I have
actually produced one or two
ox-tail stews which would
knock your socks off!
Last week in Weyer’s
Butchery I spied a slab of tripe.
“A h a ,” I said, “we’ll have a
go at that!”
Big mistake.
A web search revealed a
recipe for tripe and onions
which issued instructions to cut
the tripe into little strips, place
in a slow cooker, cover with
cold water and cook for five
hours on low.
To keep my finger out in the
meantime, I was directed to
prepare a white sauce using a
❝

to Naomi
diced onion, some butter, white
flour, three cups of milk and a
cup of chopped parsley for
garnishing. When the time was
up I was told to drain the water
from the tripe, return it to the
cooker and stir in the mixture as
above and let simmer for a
further two hours.
After this I could, if I wished,
season the concoction with the
parsley and salt and pepper and
serve ladled over thick slices of
toasted sour bread.
Well, to cut a long story
short were I to have presented
this stodgy mess to the
MasterChef judges, I would
have been given a tight-lipped
dismissal along the lines of:
“Don’t phone us, we’ll phone
yo u .”
One of a number of
accomplished cooks we have
here at Berea Gardens is Joan
Groom, grandmother of nuggety
little scrumhalf and former
Stormers and Lions player Nic
Groom who was recently plying
his trade with the London Irish.
Older East Londoners may
remember Joan’s brother,
musician Neville Shelton, a
classy saxophonist and her
husband, Brian, a bass player
who used to entertain diners at
various venues around the city.
“You did WHAT?” asked
Joan, her eyes wide with
incredulity when I related my
little encounter with the entrails
of a butchered animal.
“Seven hours for a simple
tripe dish? Are you out of your
mind?”
Same reaction from Hester,
diminutive mom of towering
former Border sports stars, Billy
and Terry Radloff. Both ladies
then quietly predicted, not in so
many words of course, that with
the cost of my electricity bill at
the end of the month they could
probably afford a small beachbreak
in the Maldives.
Then followed some friendly
advice (plus a recipe from Joan)
on how to prepare this culinary
art form in a fraction of the time.
Nevertheless, I am not
deterred by this homely counsel
and accept it in the spirit it is
meant. Lastly, in spite of my
wife’s rather less than elegant
directive that if I insist on
polluting the atmosphere with
the smell of “awful offal”, would
I please do it when she is out of
the flat, I will return.
So put that in your hotpot
and smoke it for five hours – no,
make that seven!

discipline
Team picks up two yellow cards
within minutes of the start
ATHENKOSI TSOTSI
Border Bulldogs gave away
soft tries when they went
down 35-18 to the
Griffons in their opening match
of the Currie Cup First Division
at Police Park on Saturday, head
coach Lumumba Currie said.
Border were outscored by
five tries to two by the Griffons,
with captain Billy Dutton and
Bangi Kobese scoring for the
home team.
Litha Nkula’s boot put over
two penalties.
The home side went out
spirited in the first half, but lost
momentum as the game opened
up, exposing their lack of match
fitness. Discipline was Border’s
downfall as they picked up two
yellow cards within minutes of
the start, Vuyisani Mavuso and
Ayabonga Nomboyo the
culprits.
The EL side gave away too
many penalties and were found
wanting in the set pieces,
according to their coach.
“I know the score line is 35-
18; I will not make any
e x c u s e s ,” he said. “We gave soft
tries, more especially in the first
half. There was a 60m try we
gave away and two or three
other tries we gave away and
those things cost.
“We ended up having to
play catch-up. Our game
management in the third quarter
[was lacking]. When we were
supposed to kick we didn’t,
[when] we needed to pass, we
didn’t pass. Those things cost us
the game.

“Discipline ... there were so
many penalties against us; that
cost us too. There were times we
played well for a good five
minutes and then we would
come off because of our
d i s c i p l i n e ,” he said.
Border were banking on the
kicking abilities of flyhalf
Lwandile Mapuko and fullback
Nkula. They often kicked the
ball long when pressed and also
for territorial gain.
“The execution of the kicks
wa s n ’t good, even though the
intention was good,” Currie
said.
“Yes, our territorial game is
one of the plans. You can’t play
this game without kickers, so if
your flyhalf and your fullback
can get you on the front foot, all
is good. We just need to work
on our execution.”
The away side were more
settled in theor game and had a
contrasting style of rugby.
They were more
adventurous in their approach
and not afraid to move the ball
through the hands.
Their best player was
Dominic Smit.
Border may have gone down
but there would have been
plenty of encouragement as
they were able to compete on
all fronts and were always in the
game. - DispatchLIVE

Rugby boss Rademan in ICU fighting Covid
GEORGE BYRON
EP Rugby president André
Rademan is in a critical
condition in an intensive care
unit at a Gqeberha hospital after
testing positive for Covid-19.
His wife, Carol Rademan,
said in a social media post on
Tuesday that her husband was
fighting the coronavirus with
everything he had and had been
moved to an ICU ward.
“Please pray for André. He is
in ICU on a ventilator and needs
all our prayers,” she wrote.
In an earlier post on
Monday, she said: “André is still
in hospital and on oxygen, drips
and medication.
“He is very tired and fighting
Covid with everything he has.”
Rademan is among a
number of EP players and
coaching staff who have been
laid low by the virus.
Meanwhile, it will be a case
of out of the frying pan and into
the fire for EP’s Coviddecimated
Elephants when they
face the Griffons in a Carling
Currie Cup First Division clash
in Welkom on Saturday.
At this stage it is unclear
whether EP will be back to full
strength.
