UP IN FLAMES: Distraught Duncan Village residents try to salvage what they can after a fire
destroyed about 30 shacks on Saturday, leaving one person dead Picture: SUPPLIED
About 80 left homeless, belongings destroyed
SIPHOSIHLE DYONASE
BCM has assisted with
relief packs for families
after a devastating fire
tore through Duncan Village in
the early hours of Saturday
morning.
A 25-year-old man died,
while another was injured in
the raging fire.
Nearly 30 shacks were
reportedly burnt, leaving about
80 people homeless.
The disraught mother of the
deceased, Nonqaba Sindondi,
said she struggled to make ends
meet and did not know how
she would be able financially to
bury her son.
“The fire started in the shack
where he stayed.
“It then spread all around
the shack, before the wind
dispersed it onto other shacks
including mine.
“We couldn’t save him but
heard his cry for help,” she said.
BCM spokesperson Samkelo
Ngwenya said: “The fire
department responded to an
incident at 3.30am in Area 7 in
Gwijana Street, in Duncan
Village.
❝We couldn’t save him
but heard his cry for
help
“The cause of the fire is
unknown at this stage.
“Ward 1 councillor Kuhle
Ciliza has been liaising with the
families throughout the day.
Contact has also been made with
the provincial social
development department.
“The fire victims were issued
with relief packs which included
blankets and food.”
MATTHEW FIELD
Former Clarendon Primary teacher
Sharon Cox was recently selected as a
semi-finalist in the 2021 Mrs Universe
Africa pageant, a great achievement
considering it is the first ever pageant
she has taken part in.
“I belong to a women
entrepreneurship cohort and someone
posted the application on our
WhatsApp group, which is how I found
out about it,” she said.
Cox said she initially joined to help
boost her self-confidence.
“I was a school teacher for 22 years,
and I recently retired to pursue my own
business in wellness.
“I’m looking at wellness coaching,
and I’m also a Zumba instructor,”she
said.
Cox has also been active in a
number of charities, both in her
personal capacity and as part of the
pageant.
“My main charity now that I want to
focus on is Salem Baby Care Centre,”
Cox said.
“I contacted Salem asking where
their greatest need is so I know what to
focus on.”
When that’s done, Cox said she
wanted to organise community
donation drives to help provide Salem
Baby Care with whatever it needed,
such as baby clothes, toys or food.
The Mrs Universe Africa pageant
also has a People’s Choice Award
where members of the public can vote
on social media for their favourite
candidate, with the winner
automatically progressing to the final.
Cox is asking members of the BCM
community to cast their vote on the
pageant’s Twitter page,
@ m r s u n ive r s e a f r i c a .
She’s also trying to raise money to
be able to afford the trip to
Johannesburg to take part in the final
later this year.
“I need to raise R15,000 by August,”
she said.
“Most of that money also goes
towards charity.”
Sponsors are needed, since all
pageant participants need to supply
their own dresses, make-up, travel
arrangements and so forth.
Any individuals or business
interested in sponsoring Cox can
contact her on 078-438-3750 or email:

EL-born artist
shares journey
to a Safta nod
Short film made by team of students wins award
FOWL BUSINESS: The title card for Safta-award winning animated short film ‘Fowl Goblin’
Picture: ANIMATION SCHOOL/YOUTUBE
MATTHEW FIELD
For East London-born
Helmut-Sisipho Fritsche, it
was his love of cartoons
that first got him interested in
animation.
“I think for a lot of South
Africans, shows like Po ke m o n
and Dragon Ball Z were
i n s p i ra t i o n a l .
“After a while, you grow up
and think ‘Hang on, there’s
actually people involved in
creating the show that I enjoy.
How does that work?’,” Fr i t s ch e
said.
This research eventually led
him to the Animation School in
Cape Town and from there, on
to the Safta-winning short film
Fowl Goblin.
The film is based on a comic
by fellow student Abdullah
Akram and follows a
mischievous goblin who
stumbles across a poultry farm,
with hijinks quickly following.
It was completed in
November 2019 and released to
the public in 2020.
“The animated short was a
third year project.
“A group of students came
together to make four-minute
short films,” Fritsche said.
Fritsche, who is currently
based in Cape Town and
working as a 3D artist for Leinad
Studios, was part of a nineperson
team for the project, with
his main role being the team’s
production manager and
ensuring the project ran
s m o o t h l y.
“These kind of films usually
require a lot of people but since
we only had a team of nine, we
each had multiple roles. “I was
also helping out making assets,
texturing, layouts and
r e n d e r i n g ,” he said.
He was joined by fellow
students Samantha Nortje,
Ruben Bouma, Harry Napier,
Havivah Jarzin, Jason Viljoen,
Jonah Filen, Liezel Jacobs and
Mario De Rose, while Pressure
Cooker Studios worked on the
sound design and the music.
“The Animation School
submits all their final-year
projects to all the film circuits
around the world,” Fritsche said.
The film was well-received,
and went on to win the Best
Student Film award at the 2021
SA Film and Television Awards
(Saftas) last month.
● ‘Fowl Goblin’ is available to
watch on the Animation
School's YouTube page.

NPO asks for community help
EAST LONDON
W E AT H E R
Homeless given food,
blankets, and a shower
SIPHOSIHLE DYONASE
East London-based non-profit organisation
Humanity and Care is requesting assistance
from any community members who are able to
lend a helping hand financially with food donations,
blankets, clothes and mobile shower units.
Humanity’s founder and director is 26-year-old
Athenkosi Quku, who is currently running the
project using his own resources.
“Humanity and Care is an NPO that provides
services such as hot mobile shower units, blankets,
haircuts, food, clothes and first aid,” said Quku.
He said the NPO reunited the homeless with their
families, assisted them with social grants and also
p r ov i d e d them with counselling.
“We are based in Quigney but since we are
mobile, we usually go to hotspot areas where there
are a lot of homeless people.
“We unpack our showers on an open space and
the homeless come to shower.”
Quku is reaching out to potential sponsors and
donors for assistance.
“We would love people to donate so that our
dream of expanding and reaching every corner and
street in South Africa can come true,” he said.
“We started Dignity on Wheels so that we can
see change, so homeless people can start having
their dignity back, so that we can boost the
confidence of homeless people and they can be
productive and enhance their skills.
“We want to see the homeless educated and
enhance their talents, we want to see them become
productive and get jobs, we want to see them having
a second chance in life as it is hard for them to just
have a s h ow e r and simply keep c l e a n .”

Mostly pleasant
weather ahead for
this weekend
MATTHEW FIELD
Despite a cold start, this weekend looks set
to be less chilly in BCM than the last.
East Londoners can expect a scorching
30ºC day on Thursday with light 11km/h
winds from the South-East keeping the skies
c l e a r.
A sharp drop in temperature on Friday
though will see the maximum peak at 19ºC.
Skies are expected to remain clear, and the
wind will shift slightly to the South-West.
Things begin to warm up again on
Saturday with a 21ºC high, accompanied
by steady winds and clear skies.
Sunday is more of the same, with a 22ºC
high. The wind will drop slightly to 7km/h,
blowing in from the South-West.
Qonce can look forward to similar
conditions over the next few days.
Thursday will be a little cooler than its
coastal counterpart, with a maximum of
28ºC. Stronger winds are expected,
however, so look forward to fresh 29km/h
winds blowing down from the North-West.
Again, the temperature takes a sharp
dive to 17ºC on Friday, along with a drop in
wind speed to 14km/h.
The wind will also switch around to the
East, and on Saturday it will be blowing in
from the South-West at 11km/h.
This will raise the temperature to 20ºC
and result in clear skies throughout the day.
On Sunday, a 21ºC high is forecast, with
light winds from the South.
GET THE JAB: Life Healthcare regional manager exec Bruce Janssens urged all eligible

Emergency admissions at
hospitals drop in level 4
MATTHEW FIELD
Since its first introduction last year, the alcohol
ban has been one of the most contentious
restrictions of the Covid-19 lockdown.
A common reason for the ban given by
government officials is that it helps to reduce the
number of emergency medical admissions to
hospitals, thus freeing up space for more Covid-19
patients.
The GO! & Express reached out to Life Beacon
Bay Hospital to find out if the latest ban,
introduced last week, had led to any noticeable
ch a n g e s .
“The emergency units at Life Beacon Bay and
Life St Dominic’s hospitals have seen an overall
decrease in visits in the past two weeks.
“However, it is impossible to say definitively
that this is due to the restriction of alcohol sales,”
said Life Healthcare Border-Kei regional manager
executive Bruce Janssens.
“Decreases in emergency admissions have
been experienced before in the past year where,
in anticipation of the next wave of Covid-19
infections, the government increases the
lockdown level, tightens curfew restrictions and
restricts alcohol sales.
“As a result of all of the above, members of the
community do not generally come to the
emergency unit unless for Covid-related illnesses
or life-threatening emergencies.”
Janssens urged members of the public to
remain cautious during the level 4 lockdown and
to follow proper health protocols.
“Wearing masks properly to cover the nose
and mouth is critical, as well as keeping social
distance and regular hand sanitising should be
part of everyone’s normal daily practices,” he said.
“These practices make a very big difference in
protecting your life and those of your loved ones,
friends and colleagues.”
He also encouraged those who were eligible to
sign up for the vaccine rollout programme.
“Real world evidence gathered across the
globe is demonstrating the efficacy of the vaccines
developed to date in reducing the transmission of
the various Covid-19 viruses, lowering both
hospital admissions and mortality rates.”

How BCM’s wards work
LIFE’S A BEACH
50 jurisdiction areas each have councillors elected by community
MATTHEW FIELD
With the local
elections fast
approaching, the
GO! & Express was asked by a
reader to explain how wards
work in relation to municipal
g ove r n a n c e .
The GO!, in turn, reached
out to BCM spokesperson
Samkelo Ngwenya who helped
explain everything.
“A ward is a small
jurisdiction area within the
municipal boundary that is
determined by a National
Demarcation Board through
interacting with all affected
m u n i c i p a l i t i e s ,” Ngwenya said.
“All municipal wards are
revisited [Ward Delimitation
Process] after every five years.”
The number of wards within
a municipality is not decided
by the municipality itself, but
rather by the National
Demarcation Board in
consultation with local officials
and the community in
question.
“All councillors are given an
opportunity by the
Demarcation Board to raise
views of the affected
communities through offices of
the speaker/municipal electoral
officers or directly with the
Demarcation Board,” said
N g w e nya .
“Community organisations,
n o n - g ove r n m e n t a l
organisations, political parties
and individual citizens make
physical and electronic
submissions directly to the
B o a r d .”
Here in BCM, there are a
total of 50 wards, each with
their own ward councillor.
“A ward councillor is
effectively a councillor who is
elected by a simple majority of
the people who are located in a
specific ward jurisdiction.
“All councillors become
council members in their
respective municipal councils,”
Ngwenya said.
Those interested in finding
out what ward they belong to or
who their ward councillor is
can visit
h t t p s : / / b u f f a l o c i t y. g ov. z a /
wa r d c o u n c i l l o r s . p h p , where

ward councillors is available.

New LED street
lights friendlier,
improve safety
ILLUMINATING: BCM is
in the process of replacing
old lights with more
e n v i ro n m e n t l y - f r i e n d l y
and energy-saving LED
lights Picture: BONGANI
FUZILE
ANDISA BONANI
Having to walk in unsafe dark streets at
night will finally end for some residents
as Buffalo City Metro is busy installing
new street lights in wards across the
region.
The installation of more energyefficient
LED lights will also lower
electricity costs.
The LED street lights installation
programme was allocated a R9m
budget for the current financial period,
which shows an increase compared to
the previous allocation of R6.3m for the
2020-2021 financial year
Metro spokesperson Samkelo
Ngwenya said LED lights required less
maintenance and were better for the
e nv i r o n m e n t .
But he passed on a measure of
responsibility to the public: “The safety
of the street lights equipment is not
only BCM’s responsibility.
“The community is also responsible
to ensure vandalism and theft does not
take place.
“Ultimately, the ownership of the
equipment is that of the residents,” he
said.
Residents spotted the metro
installing lights in Parkside and in some
parts of Mdantsane in June, and said it
would provide improved security.
Ward 6 councillor Peter Kiki
welcomed the installation of new street
lights, saying many had not worked and
those that did were dim or faulty.
“Some of the lights flickered nonstop
and had to be changed because
they did not serve their intended
purpose.
“Residents will now be able to see
someone walking in the street at night
from a distance because the new lights
are very bright and light up quite a
wide space.
“Some residents will not have to use
their outside light because the one in
the street is bright enough to shine in
people’s yards as well.”
Kiki said another benefit of LED
lights was that they were theft-resistant.
“There are no cables that electricity
thieves could use to illegally connect
electricity from.
“This will assist the municipality in
its persistent problem of incurring costs
due to power theft.
“The municipality has started
installing the new lights in Parkside and
will roll out the programme to the rest
of the ward and other areas in the
metro as time goes by.”
BCM is installing the lights in
Amalinda Main Road, parts of
Rosedale, Mdantsane NU1, and the
access road to Mdantsane and Qumza
h i g h way.
Ngwenya said BCM had changed
street lighting technology several times
over the years due to the “national push
to energy saving”.
“This programme has been going on
for about 10 years and funds are
allocated to it every financial year.”
“We started out using incandescent
lights, then changed to mercury vapour,
metal halide and high pressure sodium
and now we use the latest technology
in LED lighting. A total of 10,000
luminaires [fittings] have been changed
over the years.
“This includes 250 high mast
structures made up of 1,500 x 1,000
watt luminaires that were changed to
between 400 and 477 watts, which is
an energy reduction of more than 50%.
“The project was funded internally
and by grant funding from the
department of mineral resources &
energy through the energy efficiency
demand side management
p r o g ra m m e .”
Ngwenya said the metro faced
ongoing problems of theft and
va n d a l i s m .
“The programme is also in line with
our energy saving campaign where we
are on a mission to encourage
consumers to save energy. We hope to
set an example.
“We have a number of tips through
a communications plan wherein we
will explain the advantages of saving
energy, including the importance of
using LED lighting,” - DispatchLIVE
Lack of rain hurting BCM dams
MATTHEW FIELD
Dams across BCM continue to suffer, as the
consistent lack of rain leads to a steady drop in
dam levels.
According to the latest figures released by the
department of water & sanitation (DWS), every
dam in the BCM area recorded a decrease this
week, while provincial levels fell to just 50.7%.
Rooikrans Dam saw the biggest drop, losing a
whole 2.2 points. However, this still leaves it at a
comfortable 90.3% capacity.
The second largest drop this week was at
Nahoon Dam, which went down 1.4 points from
last week’s 37.5% to 36.1%, as of July 5’s
reading.
Next up was Gubu Dam, with a decline of 0.9
points.
Like Rooikrans, though, it is still at 84.8%
BE WATER WISE: Laing continues to be the
best performing dam in BCM, though lack of
rain is still seeing it decline Picture: GCIS
capacity, which makes it the third-best
performing dam in the BCM area.
Laing remains in the top spot at 98% capacity,
though this is a drop of 0.6 points from last week.
Over at Bridle Drift, the latest reading puts it
at 24.4% capacity, down by 0.5 from last week’s
24.9%.
Finally, Wriggleswade remains the worst
performing dam in BCM, sitting at only 19%
capacity, according to the DWS.

Wendy Kretschmann shares her
inspirational journey so far with the
Fit for Logan Challenge
Changing
habits and
mindsets is
not impossible
Available at Supermarkets, Hypermarkets and PicknPay.com
PRICES VALID 8 - 11 JULY 2021
The Fit for Logan Challenge article
published on April 15 was titled “A
season of change”.
My weight loss journey has proven that
headline to be very appropriate, as I have
changed many of the bad habits I had
amassed over time (pun intended).
When I first started the challenge, the
task to lose my goal weight by a given date
was daunting.
This was probably due to my mindset
being different from what it is now, as the
weight loss has brought about positive
changes in my mental and physical
approaches to situations.
I find that I am watching what and how
much I eat and my favourite blackcoloured
fizzy cool drink is no longer
consumed in copious amounts.
I have learnt that my self-control is
better than I believed it to be and my
stamina and energy levels have improved
t r e m e n d o u s l y.
Even though I can neither control many
things that happen in my life nor what
comes across my path, I can control my
reactions to it.
Phillipians 4:13 comes to mind (NIV) -
“I can do all things through him [Christ]
who gives me strength.”
God is guiding me every step of the way
which is just as well because this could be
a lonely walk, even if one has challenge
partners such as Cheryl Larsen, Tubs
Lingham, Hayley Bartle, Caron Troskie, my
fantastic family and my sponsors who
encourage me.
On March 19, when I started the
challenge, the scale told a woeful tale.
At that stage, my weight was 109kg.
The scale is telling a happier story these
days though as I have broken the 100kg
barrier, and now weigh 98kg and h ave
gone from a clothes size 24 to a size 20
(well, almost).
So I have lost 11kgs and I am just over
the halfway mark towards my goal, which
is to lose a total of 20kgs by Wednesday
October 6, which is International Cerebral
Palsy Day.
Weight loss is the result of this
challenge, though, and not the reason.
Our initial reason was the desire to
assist in raising funds towards Logan
Bartle’s current and future medical
expenses which, in turn, inspired us to
create awareness about cerebral palsy in
general and Canaan Care Centre in
p a r t i c u l a r.
The centre has received extensive
community support as a direct result of the
challenge, for which it is truly g ra t e f u l .
The centre would also welcome
contributions towards their regular needs
such as food, toiletries, clothing, cleaning
products, educational toys and products, as

On Monday the publishing

“The main reason being their

they lack sufficient vocabulary
and grammar to make sense of
what they read.
“They face further challenges
— the need to learn an
additional African language at
the same time, and for most
non-English HL speakers in our
multilingual society, English
becomes the language of
learning and teaching from
grade 4,” said Oxford University
Press SA.
To help pupils to become
actively and critically literate
and not merely learn to parrot
sounds by rote, the national
curriculum recommends
selecting four themes per term
to “introduce new words” and
“recycle vocabulary and
language structures in
meaningful contexts”.
“Some of the theme or
topic suggestions are (my)
body, clothes, colours,
numbers, food, animals, my
family, growing things, the
weather, simple greetings and
f a r e w e l l s .”
The publishing house said
the themed double-page
spreads in the dictionaries
supply “the basic highfrequency
vocabulary children
need to start talking, while the
rich, full-colour illustrations
offer further opportunities for
vocabulary development,
storytelling and language

The department of basic education is urging all
teachers and support staff who haven’t yet done
so to get their Covid-19 vaccines.
According to the department, more than
333,000 teachers and support staff have been
vaccinated since the department started its
vaccination drive on June 23.
“Phase One targeted 300,000 to be
vaccinated within the first 10 days of the
p r o g ra m m e ,” the department said in a recent
statement.
“This target was based on the number of
doses allocated of the Johnson & Johnson
vaccine to the sector.
“By the end of day one of the sector’s
vaccination programme, the basic education
sector had vaccinated a total of 48,000 of the
Phase One target.”
The department said it met its Phase One
target across all nine provinces within nine days.
It also received an additional 289,000 doses
of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, which will
help the department reach its total goal of
vaccinating 582,564 teachers and support staff.
“The basic education sector will continue to
administer the remaining doses of the vaccine to
cover the remaining staff. In addition, support
staff from independent schools, food handlers,
screeners, cleaners and ECD practitioners will
be included in the roll-out programme.”

SANBS still working
hard under level 4
Fourteen boys rescued
from Eastern Cape
illegal initiation school
Appointments to avoid waiting or walk-ins welcomed
SIPHOSIHLE DYONASE
The South African National Blood
Service (SANBS), as a
government-recognized essential
service, recently announced that blood
collections, laboratory services and
blood supply will continue to function
under level 4 restrictions.
However, the SANBS assured
members of the public that strict Covid-
19 safety protocols would be in place.
“After the level 4 announcement,
most blood drives are recording very
poor support from the public, with
blood being needed every single day,”
said SANBS East London’s donor
relations practictioner Nokubonga Lisa
Ke t s e m a .
“Enough blood tomorrow won’t
help anyone today.
“A person may donate blood
immediately after being vaccinated,
provided they don’t have any
symptoms and that the usual blood
donation screening tests are in order.”
The SANBS offers an appointment
system whereby donors can schedule
specific donation appointments in
a dva n c e .
“This is to avoid waiting times,
giving donors with appointments
preference, even though walk-in
donors will still be more than
w e l c o m e ,” said Ketsema.

Fourteen initiates have been rescued
from an illegal initiation school in
Mqanduli, and four traditional nurses
and two parents were arrested in
Buffalo City metro and the Mhlontlo
municipality for flouting the lockdown
regulations.
The initiates had gone to the
mountain despite the traditional rite
being banned by President Cyril
Ramaphosa on June 27.
OR Tambo traditional initiation
forum chair Nkosi Mkhanyiseli
Dudumayo said none of the Mqanduli
initiates could provide any required
documentation for them to be
c i rc u m c i s e d .
“They just did not have any official
documents, including screening test
r e s u l t s ,” he said.
“Upon their rescue at Lower
Nenga village, they were taken to a
rescue centre in Ngcwanguba village,
where a very experienced ikhankatha
[traditional nurse] will look after them
until they have completed their
initiation stage,” he said.
Without documents, no young boy
was eligible to undergo the old-age
rite of u l wa l u ko (circumcision), he
said.
Dudumayo said three traditional
nurses and a parent had been arrested
in Gabazi village in Mhlontlo
m u n i c i p a l i t y.
Provincial Cogta spokesperson
Mamnkeli Ngam said another
traditional nurse and a parent had
been arrested in Buffalo City for
violating lockdown regulations.
He said the arrests had been made
on Friday after a visit to initiation
schools by Cogta MEC Xolile Nqatha.
“People know what to do, and those
who break the law will be arrested,” he
said.
“The MEC appreciates the support
from communities and parents who
continuously phone in to seek advice
and guidance.
“The situation now with Covid-19
and the level 4 national lockdown is
beyond the control of the province.”
Provincial police spokesperson Brig
Tembinkosi Kinana also confirmed the
arrests of the traditional nurses and a
parent in the Tina Falls area near
Qumbu for contravening regulations.
He said those arrested would
appear in court on Monday.
DispatchLIVE reported last week
that the national government had
suspended the custom of u l wa l u ko after
Ramaphosa’s address on Sunday night
when he moved the country back to an
adjusted level 4 national lockdown.
This essentially meant that young
boys who were hoping to undergo
initiation would have to put their plans
on hold.
However, those already at initiation
schools would be allowed to continue
to the end, even though festivities like
the homecoming imigidi would not be
permitted as all indoor and outdoor
gatherings, including cultural, religious
and political meetings, are not allowed.
The winter initiation period, which
effectively started on June 11, was set to
end on July 30. - DispatchLIVE

Wallpaper Inn moves to
Chamberlain Square
CLARE KEARNEY
East Londoners, we are very
excited to introduce you to our
new Wallpaper Inn Shop
situated in Chamberlain
Square, Berea.
We have recently moved
from our premises in Balfour
Road, which we quickly
o u t g re w.
Our new shop is bright,
fresh and filled with a vast
selection of wallpapers to
choose from.
Wallpaper Inn is a familyrun
business that was situated
in Bowls Road for many years.
People still pop in to our
shop and reminisce about the
old days, remembering my
dad, Darryl, behind the paint
or framing counter and my
mother, Lesley Pringle, who
lived and breathed wallpaper.
My mother was an astute
businesswoman who loved to
be with her extended family at
the Inn.
The original Wallpaper Inn
was established in 1964 by my
grandfather, Pat Broli.
He ran a business called
East London Property
Maintenance and would often
use wallpapers in the homes
he was decorating. The idea
then came to mind to start a
wallpaper business.
My mother, who was only
19 at the time, started working
at the shop, then in Union

Street. When they started
importing their own wallpaper,
they soon needed larger
premises and 11 Bowls Road
(where Buzz Hardware is now
situated) became the home of
Wallpaper Inn.
Harlequin Paint Shop was
soon opened and started
selling paints, hardware and
framing.
My father, who nearly
moved to Durban to join his
father in the wool trade
fortunately made the move to
manage the Harlequin Paint
shop.
My parents worked
together at the Bowls Road
Premises for almost 45 years
before my father’s retirement
in 2007.
My mother and I then
continued to concentrate on
the wholesale side of the
business for a further 10 years.
During that time my husband,
Clinton, joined the business.
When my mother passed
away in 2015 there was
certainly a lot to learn in the
Wallpaper business, but she
and my father had set up a
lasting legacy for my husband
and I to continue.
My mother included me in
the business from a very early
age. I was traveling with her to
wallpaper fairs in Germany
from the age of 17. I too
learned to love wallpaper, and
fell in love with art and design.
This lead me to study
graphic design at the then Port
Elizabeth Technikon and
thereafter to travel and work in
London for seven years before
returning to East London to
assist in the family business.
Our main showroom and
warehouse were moved to
Johannesburg in 2017 so that
we could better service our
distributors throughout SA
and run the business more
e ff i c i e n t l y.
Our Cape Town store is
situated in Northgate and our
head office remains in East
London as we still consider this
beautiful city our home.

Claiming business expenses
when working from home
Lockdown life for many now no longer office-bound affects tax claims
MATTHEW FIELD
With more people working
from home nowadays
thanks to the lockdown,
it is a good idea to examine how
this can affect one’s tax submissions
this year.
According to the SA Revenue
Service’s (SARS) website, it is
possible to claim certain expenses
as business-related when filing
income tax if you work from a home
office.
The first thing you should do,
however, is figure out if you can
even claim home office expenses in
the first place.
Section 23(b) of the Income Tax
Act says these deductions can only
be made in the following scenarios:
1) The room is regularly and
exclusively used for your trade
and/or employment. In other words,
you have a room in your house that
is strictly for work.
2) If your remuneration is only a
salary, you must perform more than
50% of your work in your home
office.

(SOCI) team in East London is

murder investigation.
It is reported that on
October 26 2020, two Fidelity
security guards, Sithembele
Masala and Ludick Bevan
Ernest, were at Southernwood
SUPERSPAR in East London to
collect money.
“On their way out of the
supermarket, they were

who are alleged to have pulled
3) If more than 50% of your
remuneration is made up of
commissions or other variable
payments for your work and more
than 50% of your work duties are
performed outside of an office
provided by your employer.
Now that’s out of the way, we
can ask what sort of things we can
count as expenses.
On its website, SARS says home
office expenditure typically falls
under three categories: rent of the
out their firearms and started
shooting at the guards,”
said Hawks provincial
spokesperson Captain Yolisa
Mgolodela
“Both security guards were
pronounced dead on the
scene.
“The suspects are said to
have managed to rob the
security guards of more than
R280,000 in cash.
“Their firearms were also
stolen during the ordeal.
“The suspects then
successfully fled the scene.
“Anyone with information
should contact Colonel
Sonwabiso Mboniswa on 071-
481-2948 or Detective

premises, cost of repairs to the
premises and other expenses
connected with the premises.
The first two are selfe
x p l a n a t o r y.
If you are renting your premises,
you can list this as a business claim
provided you meet one of the three
criteria mentioned earlier.
The same applies to any repairs
or maintenance you may need to
perform during the year.
The final category is rather broad
and can apply to a lot of different
things.
As examples, SARS lists costs
such as telephones, internet
subscriptions, office stationery, rates
and taxes, cleaning services and
w e a r- a n d - t e a r.
In short, if you would count it as
a business expense in the office,
then there’s a good chance it also
counts when working from home.
To calculate your deductions,
you must use the formula provided
by SARS, which is A/B x total costs.
According to this formula, A is
the area in m² of the area
specifically equipped and used for
work purposes (your office), while B
is the total area in m² of the entire
residence including any
outbuildings.
The total costs are your
expenses.

deductions, enter these next to the

National
Arts Festival
goes virtual
MATTHEW FIELD
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic and l o ck d ow n
restrictions, the National Arts Festival (NAF) has
announced that this year’s event will be fully
online.
According to Festival CEO Monica Newton,
there had been plans for some live audience
performances this year but President Cyril
Ramaphosa’s announcement last month forced
them to rethink their approach.
“Our 2021 festival was built with change in
mind, we knew we might need a Plan B and this
was a part of our risk mitigation strategy from
the start,” Newton said.
“The festival team is working at 200% to
adapt our live programme to this new scenario
in order to stick to our original July 8 opening
date.
“We are confident that we can pull it off and
the National Arts Festival Online will take place
from July 8 to 31.”
Luckily, Newton said, the necessary
infrastructure was already in place from last
ye a r ’s festival.
She also praised the many artists in the
festival for their continued hard work.
“Together with our team, they are working
incredibly hard to ensure work is filmed with all
the professionalism and passion they had
planned to put into their live stage
performances.
“Everyone has just taken a deep breath,
adapted their plans and moved forward. After a
devastating year for the arts, it felt very
important to us to honour our commitments and
financial obligations to all the people involved
in the 2021 festival.”
The new online festival will be hosted on the
NAF website, and a new edition this year will be
the introduction of live- streaming for certain
performances.
The Standard Bank Jazz Festival will also be
going fully online this year, with shows being
filmed around the country.
Members of the public can purchase tickets
on the NAF website, with individual show
prices for the curated programme ranging from
R40 to R100 per person.
However, it is also possible to buy a Festival
Pass for R1,000 per person which provides
access to all shows on the curated programme
and the Jazz Festival.
Those interested in just the Jazz Festival can
purchase a Jazz Pass for R800.
Prices for the Fringe Festival range from R40
to R80 per ticket, and 90% of all sales go
directly to the artists.
This year, audiences can look forward to 96
curated works, workshops and exhibitions with
127 Fringe events.

Recalling teachers who left their mark
For today’s educators moulding future leaders, doing so under lockdown isn’t for the faint-hearted
Sometimes on a sun-lit
evening on the
immaculate playing
fields of Hudson Park
High School across the wooded
valley from our retirement
complex, I can hear the stirring
and full-throated roar of the
pupils as they practice their warc
r y.
It motivates their sporting
teams doing battle against
visitors at the weekend and
promotes unity and loyalty in
the school.
In these perilous times, I feel
desperately sorry for members
of the teaching profession
whose very existence revolves
around the creation of worthy
South African citizens by
inculcating in their charges the
true values of life, a small part of
which is described above.
“Teaching under lockdown
is not for the faint-hearted,”
wrote one teacher recently.
“It tests your inner soul. It
makes you question, it makes
you cry.”
Their momentum has been
shattered.
During the course of my
professional life I was privileged
to know and often work with
many outstanding teachers of
the day.
Those now long retired or
REFLECTIONS
Charles Beningfield
passed on who come readily to
mind are Dudley Schroeder,
with whom I had almost weekly
contact for 15 years; Chris
Harker and the much admired
and revered Ivan Busse of
Queen’s College; Erica
Danckwerts; the
redoubtable Carol Millington,
who died aged 70 last week;
Richard Edkins of Girls’ High in
Queenstown; “D u m my ” Tay l o r
of Dale College; Trevor
Webster; Neil Emslie; Sammy
Gunn of Queen’s and Selborne;
Ted Allen of Hudson Park
Primary and of course; the
incomparable “B u n ny ” S t e ve n s
of Selborne Primary, to name
just a few in a long line of
outstanding men and women
who have kept our schools in
the forefront of education in SA.
We have no grandchildren of
our own, but occasionally were
asked to stand in as “surrogate”
grandparents at Selborne
Primary functions for relatives.
These occasions were
pleasant, poignant reminders of
long-gone days when our own
boys were there.
Funnily enough, I remember
a small incident of no
significance but which has stuck
in the mind of our middle son
now living in far off England,
which he has never forgotten.
He came home delighted
one day from an incident which
must have come from a hygiene
class or something of that
nature.
He was then about eight or
nine and is now 56.
“D a d ,” he chortled gleefully,
“Mr Harper told us that when
we wipe our backsides we must
remember, ‘one up, one down
and one for the shine!”’
By all accounts, fine
moulders of young minds were
the Harper brothers, Mickey
and Robert.
Another exceptional teacher
who remains rooted in this lad’s
memory is Carol Koch.
Carol was the coach of the
Under 15 hockey side at
Queen’s when my son was the
captain. I remember a match
against Selborne on the Higgs
field when Carol, already in a
wheelchair as a result of
encroaching cancer, summarily
halted an inter-schools match
and in her stentorian voice
which echoed down from the
frozen crags of Longhill in
response to a heated, ill-judged
remark by the Queen’s skipper,
roared: “Beningfield, we don’t
take people out in hockey.”
That calculated, welldeserved
rebuke was a salutary
lesson he never forgot.
He went on to captain the
college first XI, lead them on a
tour of Israel, gain honours in
the sport and play for Border.
He absolutely adored Carol
and had a photograph of her by
his bedside.
Brave Carol passed away not
long afterwards and broke
Quentin’s heart.
In our lounge hangs a
painting by well-known South
African artist, Dale Elliott, a
member of the well-known
Border legal and auctioneering
family who died recently after a
long illness.
It is a beautiful work of art, a
rural setting somewhere in the
Western Cape.
It is a cherished gift to Naomi
my wife from a dear friend, Gift
Ensor, another revered teacher
in Komani (Queenstown).
Gift, wife of a former mayor
of the town, was associated with
her beloved Queen’s College for
the better part of 40 years as a
teacher of English literature,
general science and history.
Believe me, nobody,
including her fellow teachers,
messed with her.
She had a formidable
reputation, brooked no
nonsense and had a tongue as
sharp as a razor.
Countless Queenians who
sat beneath her searching eye
will remember a personality
who demanded a high standard.
They are doubtless better
men for it today and in the
fullness of time will have
acknowledged that her severity
was for their own good and was
never in her heart.
The Ensor Cup for Dramatics
is an everlasting memorial to
this fine lady.
Naomi and Giftie (as she
was fondly known) were lay
ministers together at St
M i ch a e l ’s Anglican church for
many years and became firm
friends.
They visited each other
often, especially after Eddie, her
husband, died.
We lived in the same street,
Haig Avenue, us in a house at
the foot of Bowker’s Kop and
Giftie at the other end opposite
Queen’s Junior.
Giftie owned a banger of an
old Ford and when she came to
visit you could hear her all the
way up Haig Avenue.
She would make a u-turn at
“Whistler’s Corner” just up the
road and come to a shuddering
halt somewhere near our front
gate with a belch of smoke and
a loud explosion from the
exhaust.
I would make a quiet exit
and leave Naomi and Giftie to
chat for hours.
Naomi loved her wit,
wisdom and anecdotes.
Both ladies were out and out
e x t r ove r t s !
Yes, Gift Ensor was a hard
but fair taskmaster who
possessed a deep, abiding love
and understanding of young
men in whom she engendered
manliness, loyalty, well-bred
manners and dignity.
She developed an incurable
affliction and died in September
1997.
Gift’s bequest of that
magnificent work of art to her
dear friend is a treasured
memory of a wonderful friend
and a fine woman who was a
shining credit to her profession.
East London’s Sibam part
of SA U23 Olympic team
ATHENKOSI TSOTSI
Safa Buffalo City regional
president Mxolisi “Prince” Sibam
will jet off with the SA U23 squad
as team manager when they leave
for the Tokyo Olympics in Japan
later in July.
On Saturday Sascoc (the SA
Sports Confederation and
Olympic Committee) released the
names of the 20-man squad.
Sibam was listed as team manager
in head coach David Notoane’s
support staff list.
“I’ve been with the team from
the start of the campaign; from the
Angola game till the 8 Nations
where we qualified.
“I have been the HOD of the
team. All the Safa teams have
H O D s ,” said Sibam.
“We are in camp in
Mpumalanga now. We leave on
July 13 for Tokyo. Our first match
is against Japan on the 22nd, then
France on the 25th and our last
match is on the 28th with
Mexico.
“Our intention is to do our
best. If we end up somewhere in
the semifinal, we would really
appreciate that,” he said.
Since SA was readmitted in
1991 to the Olympics
competition, Ama Glug Glug has
participated twice in the
Olympics, with the Tokyo Games
about to make it the third time.
Their first appearance was in
OFF TO TOKYO: Safa
BCM president Mxolisi
Sibam joins the SA U23
squad for their trip to
the Olympic Games
Picture: FILE
the 2000 Sydney Olympics,
Australia, and then the second at
the 2016 Rio Olympics in Brazil.
Sibam believes the U23’s
showing for the third time at the
sporting showpiece is a big
achievement which has been
swept under the carpet.
“This is the third time we
qualify, and the first time we do
it twice in a row,” said Sibam.
“Other countries have been
participating in these games
since the Olympics have been
played, while our first
participation was in 1992.
“For us to go three times, we
have done well. It shows we are
not a small nation when it
comes to football in Africa,
qualifying three times in that
time.
“There are other countries
that have not qualified for the
Olympics, countries like
Senegal, Morocco, Tunisia, and
Algeria have never qualified,
and those are big countries.
“We have done it three
times, that’s a very big
a ch i e ve m e n t ,” said Sibam.
Before Notoane’s side take
part in their opening game at the
Olympics, they meet Australia in
a final warm-up game on July
16.

Border women triumph to
‘steal’ win in last seconds
Wellington clash sees team snatch it from Boland Dames in injury time
STAFF REPORTER
An injury-time try by their
inspirational captain, Lusanda
Dumke, secured the Border
Ladies a hard-fought 24-22 victory over
Boland Dames in an entertaining
Wo m e n ’s Premier Division clash in
Wellington on Saturday.
With time up on the clock, Border
were awarded a scrum just outside the
Boland 22 and after five minutes of
keeping the ball alive, Dumke finally
raced away for their fourth and matchwinning
try.
It was heartbreaking for Boland who
seemed to be firmly in control after two
brilliant tries from clever tactical kicks
by Theresa Ruiters and Amber Meiring,
coupled with rock-solid defence that
saw them lead by 22-12 with less than
10 minutes on the clock.
But Border dug deep, first with a
76th-minute converted try by Yandisa
Nobanda, before Dumke scored the
match winner.
The first half was a proper armwrestle
on the wet field, with Border
taking a 12-10 lead into the break,
courtesy of two tries by Asisipho
Plaatjies and Nqatyiswa Lufutha in the
final 15 minutes of the half.
The opening exchanges belonged to
the home team as their powerful pack
had the visitors on the back foot, and
after a number of Border transgressions
on their own try-line, it was not
surprising to see Boland given a penalty
try for a superb scrum.
The ever-reliant Demi Nel added a
penalty goal a few minutes later as the
Dames took a 10-0 lead, before Border
took their opportunities to score.
A second-half breakaway steered
Western Province to their ninth
consecutive victory of the season
against the Sharks Women, with the
team earning a 29-5 victory at a
soaking wet Newlands.
The KwaZulu-Natalians got off the
mark quickly with a try by Springbok
Women loose forward Sizo Solontsi in
the fourth minute, and those proved to
be the only points in the half as a
combination of handling errors and
solid defence kept both teams at bay.
The Capetonians — who will be
hoping to defend their title in the final
two weeks — created try-scoring
opportunities in the first half, but
crucial errors close to the try line
denied them from capitalising on them.
The hosts, however, found their
rhythm in the second half and
improved their finishing, which
allowed them to score four unanswered

tries, while Bok Women utility back
Zintle Mpupha kept the scoreboard
ticking with her fine all-round form.
Mpupha scored a try and kicked
three conversions and a penalty goal to
contribute 14 points.
She put her team on the scoreboard
with a try in the 49th minute and then
added the extra two, as well as a
penalty goal shortly after, to push them
into a 10-5 lead.
This bolstered their confidence and
they did particularly well to make use
of the space out wide.
The rewards followed with wing
Simamkele Namba touching down in
the 60th and 79th minutes and fullback
Donelle Snyders in the 74th minute.
The Cape Town team backed this up
with a solid defensive effort, which
denied the Sharks from adding to their
score.

MATTHEW FIELD

10.
Organised by Nedbank Running
Club, this will be the series’ second year.
“Nedbank has been a supporter of
running for decades,” said Nedbank
sponsorship manager Kelly Thompson.
“We kicked off this year’s Runified
series with the Breaking Barriers event in
May, which put elite runners back on the
road, and there we witnessed both Irvette
van Zyl and Ketema Negasa break the
50km International Association of
Ultrarunners world record.”
S a t u r d ay ’s event is open to runners
from across the country, and helps serve
as a buildup for the final challenge in
O c t o b e r.
In addition to the fun of getting out
and about, there are also some great
prizes on offer. Spot prizes will be
awarded to 10 lucky runners, courtesy of
sponsers Futurelife, Thirsti, Bavaria,
Biogen and Nike.
All entrants will also stand a chance
to win a share of R70,000 Greenbacks,
with one lucky runner walking away with
an all-expenses-paid trip for two to
compete in a national marathon up to the
value of R50,000.
“We ’re excited about bringing
running events to life in 2021,” said
Nedbank Running Club national
manager Nick Bester.
“On all levels, I understand the hard
work and effort that goes into starting and
completing these challenges and we are
looking forward to seeing incredible
results and hopefully new running club
m e m b e r s .”
