EFF’s Runeli

re v e a l s

council plans

Party meeting is avoided by Ward 10 stakeholders

TK MTIKI

EFF PR councillor Xolisa

Runeli described the poor

turnout of local businesses,

members of the Panic group,

Sunshine Coast Tourism, the Port

Alfred Residents and Ratepayers

Association (Parra) and other local

stakeholders as a missed

opportunity to air their concerns

about the party at their meeting on

Tuesday evening.

In last week’s Talk of the Town,

the EFF invited ward 10 residents,

together with the above mentioned

stakeholders, to attend its meeting

which was held at the Port Alfred

Civic Centre on Tuesday afternoon.

At the meeting Runeli

explained what the EFF seeks to do

should it win three seats, which he

was convinced would happen.

Besides the EFF members, the

meeting was attended by Christo

Breytenbach, Don Fryer and Cathy

Fryer, the only white people to

attend.

The trio’s presence gave Runeli

an opportunity to explain what the

EFF intends to do should it be in

the council after the local

government elections.

Runeli started off by thanking

the attendees, saying he

appreciated their time and

presence at the meeting.

The outspoken Runeli then

explained the purpose of the

meeting.

“We want to make sure that the

ANC gets less than 10 seats in the

council. We can assure you that

we are going to win three seats in

the council.

“We do not want total power.

Ours is to get rid of these directors

who bring us projects that have not

yielded any outcomes.”

Runeli backed up his claims by

citing the water tower being built

at Thornhill and the seawater water

reverse osmosis (SWRO) plant.

“I am told that they are unable

to test it [the water tower] because

there is no water to be pumped to

it. It cannot be called a complete

project. That thing is going to

become a while elephant,” he said.

Runeli further supported his

claims by using Quality Filtration

Systems’ (QFS) failure to meet its

contractual agreement with

Ndlambe Municipality.

“Our first motion, when we

enter this municipality, is to ensure

the municipality ends its contract

with QFS. QFS must go because

this company has proven to be a

f a i l u r e ,” he said.

“At some point they have

served us with legal letters because

they know that we were the first

people to challenge their

appointment due to their

controversies in Cape Town.”

Explaining his U-turn on p ay i n g

for water availability Runeli said:

“The problem we had with that

motion was that we saw it as

opportunistic because Ray Schenk

is responsible for the financial

portfolio, so he is the one who

introduced that water availability.

“Now he sees we are going to

the elections he comes to the

council and says let us cut this

thing. We understand that paying

water availability is wrong.”

Runeli said the EFF would

introduce a motion to terminate

the QFS contract together with

scrapping the water availability

ch a r g e .

Runeli said the purpose of the

meeting was also to hear what

ward 10 residents would like to see

happen in the council.

Don Fryer asserted that

dissolving the council was the only

option to solving the problems that

Runeli alluded to.

“You have painted a good

picture of the whole problem in

Port Alfred but there is only one

way to solve this problem – yo u

dissolve the council.

“Take the money away and get

the right people in the job.

“Forget about politics at this

stage. Politics are never going to

come right. You are still a young

p a r t y.

“Put it [the municipality] under

administration and get the right

people who can fix the pumps.

Manage the money right and you

will see a big change,” said Fryer.

asked her neighbour to

explain himself.

The neighbour then

Readers weigh in on the EFF’s

proposal to end QFS contract

Many residents agree, saying there’s no water in their taps but they’re unfairly billed for availability

TK MTIKI

TotT’s Facebook question was:

What is your take on the EFF’s

proposal that Ndlambe

Municipality must terminate its

contract with Quality Filtration Systems

for failing to meet the contractual

agreement in providing water for Port

Alfred residents?

Many residents agreed, though

some wondered what the alternative

would be.

Jacobus Reinier Grové said he

agreed “100%”, adding that QFS

should be sued.

Dirk Swanepoel said: “Push the fact

and the truth will come out.”

Mark Styles, Tracey Hall and Erica

Mcnulty said they fully agreed.

On the other hand, DA councillor

Joc Guest said those who agreed

obviously had another source of water,

while also asking about the survival of

the rest of the town.

She said: “Right or wrong, water is

life. How can you stop the production

of what we are getting?”

Mark Styles responded to Guest,

saying: “What are we getting exactly,

we haven’t had water in our taps since

last December?”

Tracey Hall also directed her

comment at Guest’s statement.

“Not sure what we are getting? I see

❝Why must a flawed

agreement continue,

they not [providing]

contracted water

no water from our taps. It is a joke. We

still are being billed for water,” she said.

Jenni Nicholabest said she had had

no water since November 20 last year

and there was no communal tank near

her house either.

Colleen Denniss asserted that

whether they had other sources of

water had nothing to do with it,

insisting that they still paid for

availability of water and wanted it

supplied to them by the municipality.

Brian Rogers said: “What a

disappointment. The DA in Port Alfred,

that is such a dumb comment.”

John Rivett responded to Rogers’

view saying: “Better than the ANC –

look where that’s got the town.”

Andrew Glenda Bouwer also asked

Guest as to what water she was talking

about, saying they had had no water in

their taps since December last year.

Aletta MacCallum said: “For once I

agree with the EFF. What production?

Not getting anything, why must a

flawed agreement continue, they not

coming up with contracted water.”

Bridget Webster asked: “I agree,

but why is the EFF only getting involved

now? After the fact? Oh yes, elections!”

Litha Zandile responded to

Webster, saying: “EFF has always been

involved from the word go. You just

only read about it now from TotT, eg,

for people in the township to even

receive water in water tanks the EFF has

to get involved.”

Arthur Hinde said: “Agree. Can of

worms lurking there. Rotten. That

project stinks just as much as our

sewage-flowing CBD.”

Colleen Denniss also said she

agreed. “Why build another dead dog,

rather first fix the first one and get water

to the whole of the town.”

When Robin Collett asked why the

EFF got involved now, DA candidate

Nadine Haynes responded: “The EFF

councillor chose to abstain from voting

when the DA motioned to have the

water availability charge wavered from

the Ndlambe municipal accounts

while water is unavailable from the

taps. It suited him then to stand back

and allow the residents to continue

paying for no services.”

Lourens Wilken said they had no

water in Park Road, adding that a

second plant would not help.

Moral leadership

priority for ACDP

Mark Price, ACDP

candidate

The ACDP manifesto

identifies seven “giant

issues“ that need to be

addressed.

1. Corrupt,

ineffective service

delivery and unreliable

electricity supply; 2.

Poor economic

g r ow t h ,

unemployment and

poverty; 3. Lack of

proper sanitation and

housing; 4. Inadequate

health and social care

services; 5. Slow and

unjust land reform and

threat to food security;

6. Unreliable, unsafe

and unaffordable

public transport; 7.

Escalating crime in our

communities.

Q: What would

the ACDP do

regarding the water

crisis, in terms of

rectifying past

mistakes and making

other interventions to

ensure residents

receive water?

And what

interventions would

the ACDP make to

address the ongoing

sewage spills in town,

as interventions to

date seem to have

been ineffective?

A: I am going to

answer your first two

questions together.

There is one

common point and

that is supply chain

ƒƒ

ƒƒ

and procurement

adjudication.

We believe work is

awarded with huge

lack of understanding

of what is going to be

paid for.

We cannot allow

any of this to happen,

we do not have the

time or the financial

resources to fund this

attitude.

If contract awarding

is done correctly it will

then whittle out

corruption.

This will also insure

that the correct tender

with the correct

method, knowledge

and correct value for

contract will be

awa r d e d .

Q: What would

the ACDP do to

promote investment,

business growth and

employment in the

a re a ?

A: You cannot

promote investment if

infrastructure is broken

or breaking. We are

tired of hearing about

all the expertise in the

area which never gets

used.

An invite of

problems with

solutions needs to be

had and then worked

through.

This will help

identify other problems

with possible solutions

from our own

community with the

relative expertise.

This will be done

running concurrently

with areas that can be

fixed with correct

procurement.

Advertising towns

with working

infrastructure on top of

all the attractions we

always have had is a

w i n n e r.

I believe we are

missing out on the

coastal boom of

people moving from

inland, we need to

move into this space

q u i ck l y.

Q: What would

the ACDP do to

promote tourism?

A: Campaigning to

attract tourists is easily

done when you do not

have to cover up for a

malfunctioning

m u n i c i p a l i t y.

Q: What would

the ACDP do to help

or motivate the SAPS

in combating crime in

the area, especially in

proactive rather than

reactive policing?

A: The ACDP

would concentrate on

the root of the evil that

is encouraging crime.

Firstly, create

employment to lessen

the petty crime.

Secondly, clamp

down on drug

t ra f f i ck i n g .

Thirdly, encourage

private companies and

people to work

together with private

security, in monitoring

crime to block routes

and gather evidence.

Fourthly, do not

make decisions in

council that will

overload the SAPS,

hospitals, ambulances,

increase domestic

violence and

accidents.

There are lot of

NGOs and

organisations that are

and would like to

increase their help in a

proactive way.

This needs to be

encouraged and to

work together on

common topics, for

example, hunger, drug

abuse, domestic abuse,

skills development and

learning skills from the

experienced, skilled

people that are willing

to impart that

k n ow l e d g e .

With a moral,

c o m p a s s - d r ive n

leadership, with a

willing community, we

can fix anything.

The local government elections will take place

on November 1. Talk of the Town asked four

local parties fielding candidates in Ndlambe –

the ANC, DA, EFF and ACDP – to respond to

questions on issues affecting our area. Only the

ruling party, the ANC, did not respond.

DA aim to improve

quality of life

Nadine Haynes, DA ward 10 candidate

Q: What would the DA do regarding the

water crisis, in terms of rectifying past mistakes

and making other interventions to ensure

residents receive water?

A: We need to urgently address our water

supply challenges. This means we need to identify

and utilise a reliable water source with capacity to

meet the needs of our towns. Several years ago,

the Fish River was identified as one such source,

and proposals were made to council to

implement this. Unfortunately, Amatola Water

put a spanner in the works, and nothing

materialised. We need to go back to this as a

matter of urgency. We need more tanks around

town and connected to municipal buildings. We

need to install gutters and rainwater tanks on all

RDP houses. All of these interventions can be

done at a fraction of the cost of the RO plants

Ndlambe is currently investing in.

Q: What interventions would the DA make to

address the ongoing sewage spills in town, as

interventions to date seem to have been

i n e f f e c t ive ?

A: Sewerage spills and leaks are primarily a

result of blocked pipes of insufficient capacity.

Ndlambe needs to invest in sewerage

infrastructure that can meet the demands of a

growing population. We need to ensure that the

fat traps of restaurants are inspected and cleaned

regularly, and that their waste products are not

being dumped in the municipal sewers. We need

to address the gradient of our sewer pipes and the

sludge pumps that move waste material, to ensure

a proper flow to the treatment works.

Q: What would the DA do to promote

investment, business growth and employment in

the area?

A: Ndlambe’s biggest economic sectors are

tourism and agriculture. As a municipality, we

should be investing in, growing and promoting

these sectors. Businesses invest where

municipalities are well-run and deliver a

consistent, reliable, quality level of services.

Simple things like water, electricity, road

maintenance and street lighting, all directly

impact whether businesses invest or not, and

consequently whether employment is created. It

should come as no surprise that the DA-run

municipalities, which consistently have the best

track record in service delivery, feature the lowest

levels of unemployment in SA.

Q: What would the DA do to promote

tourism?

A: As far as encouraging tourism is concerned,

a safe, clean town is really what tourists are

looking for. We already have the natural

resources: beaches, rivers, sun and sea. We can

best promote our tourism potential by delivering a

litter-free, well-maintained municipality, where

visitors feel safe – even in places like Centenary

Park. We should also look to maximising our

sports tourism potential: things like boat races,

Pineapple Tournament and the like bring in large

numbers of visitors, and we can do more to

broaden this appeal.

Q: What would the DA do to help or motivate

SAPS in combating crime in the area, especially

in proactive rather than reactive policing?

A: Community safety must be a priority for any

municipal government. That means well-lit

streets, with properly maintained street lighting. It

means effective local law enforcement to

supplement the SAPS. It means effective

Community Policing Forums, facilitated by the

municipality and the ward councillors. It means

working with private security companies to create

a “force multiplier” effect. It means brush clearing

to minimise places for criminals to hide, and it

means securing municipal facilities. It means

working with the provincial and national SAPS to

ensure that our policing facilities are properly

resourced and maintained.

The Democratic Alliance is committed to

improving the quality of life of all residents of

Ndlambe. We acknowledge that there is much

work still ahead. But the DA has demonstrated

repeatedly, in multiple municipalities where it

governs, that it has a track record second to none.

The DA gets things done!

Upgrade infrastructure — EFF

Xolisa Runeli, EFF

candidate

Q: What would the EFF do

regarding the water crisis, in

terms of rectifying past

mistakes and making other

interventions to ensure

residents receive water?

A: The Economic Freedom

Fi g h t e r s ’ approach to the water

crisis in Ndlambe is multifaceted

yet sustainable. The

most important is the upgrading

of water infrastructure

throughout the municipality.

One would understand that the

water systems in place were

created for a select few and as a

result, the water systems have

deteriorated to a point where

over 50% of purchased water is

lost, as stated by the Auditor

General. Second, the EFF is

going to terminate the contract

between QFS and the

municipality. This is solely on

the basis that QFS has proved

itself to be incompetent. The

rolling out of water tanks per

household would be continued

to alleviate the demand for

water and this would also be the

case with borehole

construction.

Q: What interventions

would the EFF make to address

the ongoing sewage spills in

town, as interventions to date

seem to have been ineffective?

A: The infrastructure

directorate is at the crux of

development in the

municipality and as such, its

capacity has to be expanded

qualitatively so that those who

lead are well qualified and

technically in the know. This is

why an EFF-led municipality

will, through the co-operative

governance relationship, upon

upgrading the sewerage system

roll out a project of installing

flushing toilets in every

household. This would result in

the sewage demand needed for

the wastewater project being

met and subsequently, the

water crisis in Ndlambe being

r e s o l ve d .


to promote investment,

business growth and

employment in the area?

A: Ndlambe Municipality is

full of economic opportunities

as it has potential in various

economic sectors. The

agricultural sector needs to be

revived. Further, there is

potential for untapped sectors

such as medicinal crop farming.

An EFF-led municipality will

give the necessary support to

these economic initiatives,

further ensuring that the

ownership and control of these

initiatives is in the hands of

locals. At the centre of

economic development is the

provision of sustainable and

quality water. Without water,

economic development cannot

be accelerated. The ocean

economy should move from

being a concept to being of

practical benefit to local

people.


to promote tourism?

A: The role of a municipality

is to create an environment

where business activities and

investments thrive. An EFF-led

municipality will do this by

ensuring that the infrastructural

needs are constantly upgraded

to keep up with the demand of

an ever-growing municipality.

Some of these are roads, sewage

and water systems. Second, an

EFF-led municipality will create

close working relationships

between the community and

education and training

institutions such as Stenden SA

and 43 Air School. These

working relationships will result

in education and training

scholarships for residents.

These would not only boost

investment but they would

contribute immensely towards

reviving the tourism sector of

the municipality.


to help or motivate SAPS in

combating crime in the area,

especially in proactive rather

than reactive policing?

An EFF-led municipality

would be corrupt-free,

competent, open and

accountable and safe. Safety is

an important component as it

determines whether or not a

place is pleasant enough to live

in. This is why an EFF-led

municipality will insource all

security guards and cleaners,

thus strengthening its capacity

as an institution. Second, the

municipality would strengthen

relations between itself, local

security companies and the

SAPS. Third, the establishing of

street committees, police

forums to increase the response

times should a crime occur.


EDITORIAL

OPINION

A tribute

to Mike

Kenny

It was sad news yesterday to hear of the

passing of Mike Kenny, owner of

Ke n ny ’s Pub.

Mike was a legend in Port Alfred and

beyond in his many years in the hospitality

i n d u s t r y.

His pub truly lived up to the Cheers

theme of a place “where everybody knows

your name”.

I first came across the Kenny family at

the tail end of their Ballyhoo-era, a pub at

the corner of the building which became

MyPond Hotel.

As many other patrons did, I followed

the Kenny’s move to upstairs at Guido’s,

then on to other premises at the West Beach

complex, and even to a spell in the former

Lounge (the old market building).

For the patrons who faithfully followed

them to these diverse venues – sometimes

not in the best of circumstances – it was

about people rather than place.

Mike always retained a core of patrons

who came to his pub because of who he

was, not because he had the best venue.

But he made every location his own,

adorned with his famous Springbok rugby

paraphernalia, from photographs of

winning World Cup teams to rugby jerseys

and scarves, along with quirky bar signs.

His pub in Campbell Street must rank

among the top in longevity. It was good that

the family found a place to be for the long

haul.

A sports lover of note – especially ruby

and cricket – Ke n ny ’s was the place to go to

watch international Test matches on its

many screens and Mike himself would be

among the crowd, cheering on his team or

berating an irksome referee or umpire.

But lots of other sports have been

viewed there too, from tennis to soccer.

Even though he wanted to change the

channel one time, Mike being a generous

host, allowed patrons to watch sports like

curling during the winter Olympics, even if

it was mostly for amusement.

Aside from his local regulars, students

from 43 Air School and Stenden South

Africa have also frequented Kenny’s over

the years. Many have left currency there

from all over the world, to be taped to the

ceiling as a sign of their visit.

Also legendary were Kenny’s Christmas

parties. You had to be counted as a regular

to get an invite and enjoy the feast of roast

lamb, gammon and all the delicious sides

prepared by his wife Barbara and other

family members.

Though not often at his pub lately, Mike

popped in on occasion and was always

gregarious and welcoming. He was a good

man to be around. We will miss him.

Praise Him in

through all

c i rc u m s t a n c e s

“From the rising of the sun to

the place where it sets, the

name of the LORD is to be

p ra i s e d ” (Psalm 113:3).

The Bible does not say

that we must praise the Lord

when our circumstances are

favourable, or when we are

feeling good, but that daily

His name is to be praised.

Our praises should not

depend upon our

circumstances, but upon the

fact that the Lord is always

worthy of praise because of

who He is… and He never

changes! He is holy,

righteous, loving, gracious,

merciful, forgiving and so

much more.

While ministering the

gospel in Philippi and setting

a slave woman free from an

evil spirit, Paul and Silas

were severely flogged,

thrown into prison with their

feet fastened in stocks. I

wonder how you and I

would have responded to

such unfair treatment!

Listen to what they did in

the very darkest hour of the

night. “About midnight Paul

and Silas were praying and

singing hymns to God, and

the other prisoners were

listening to them” (Acts

16:25). Praying and singing

hymns to God – still trusting

and still praising!

How dramatically our

lives have changed since

March last year. Many may

I N S P I R AT I O N A L

INSIGHTS

Pastor Theo

Snyman

feel severely flogged, the

consequence of

retrenchment, financial

difficulties, emotional

turmoil, loneliness, fear,

sickness and even the death

of a loved one. This is a

reality for many and cannot

be denied.

Had God forsaken Paul

and Silas? Has He forsaken

us even though He has

promised never to leave or

forsake us? As they prayed

and praised, the stocks fell

off their feet, the prison

doors were opened, and

they were set absolutely free!

“Through Jesus,

therefore, let us continually

offer to God a sacrifice of

praise -- the fruit of lips that

confess his name” (Hebrews

13:15). He will be there for

you as well.

World Stroke

Day October 29

H E A LT H

ILANA JOUBERT

Stroke is a leading cause of death

and disability in South Africa and

does not only affect the elderly.

One in every five stroke victims

are between the ages of 25 and

55.

Many strokes can be prevented

as they are often caused by

hypertension, smoking, obesity,

diabetes, lack of physical activity,

unhealthy diet, excessive alcohol

intake and stress.

A stroke can injure the brain

like a heart attack can injure the

heart.

It happens when the blood

supply to parts of the brain is

interrupted by either a blockage to

an artery in the brain or the

rupturing of an artery in the brain.

This deprives the brain of vital

oxygen and nutrients leading to

brain damage, or death.

There are two main types of

strokes.

Ischemic strokes are caused by

blood clots. A small blood clot

may form in a blood vessel and

then block an artery in the brain.

Sometimes this blood clot may

develop in other parts of your

body and then travel in the blood

vessels to the brain and get stuck

(embolism), blocking the blood

vessel. More than 80% of strokes

are ischemic.

Haemorrhagic strokes are

caused by bleeding, when a blood

vessel in the brain ruptures and

bleeds into the brain causing

damage. This is the most

dangerous kind of stroke.

Both kinds of strokes are

considered life-threatening and

require emergency treatment.

Signs and symptoms may

include numbness, weakness on

one or both sides of the body,

issues with balance, blurred

vision, headache, facial droop

and changes in speech.

Strokes can and do change

people’s lives and the way they

live forever, including the lives of

their immediate family members.

Damage caused by strokes

may not always be permanent and

often patients can regain function

and life quality when engaging in

stroke rehabilitation. The recovery

process from a stroke is gradual

and often a life-long process for

patients who sustained permanent

disabilities.

It is important that goal setting

be realistic for patients left with

permanent disabilities. The

purpose of rehabilitation is to

adapt to any physical problems

that may have developed because

of the stroke and to regain as

much independence and

confidence as possible.

Stoke prevention mainly

involves treating impeding risk

factors such as diabetes,

hypertension, high cholesterol,

obesity, as well as stopping

smoking, getting regular exercise

and a healthy diet.

Board 05 Dealer N, N - S vulnerable. No 17907

After two passes South will open the bidding

with 1H; hopefully West will not use a ‘two

suited overcall’ type bid, as it may push the

bidding to the ‘3 level’; the West hand is more

accurately described by a 1S overcall as it only

has 8 high card points.

North may pass anticipating a spade contract

with some pleasure, or bid 1NT, which shows

9 – 10 points, thus indicating that the deal belongs

to N -S: what action do you take as East?

You have no spades, but tolerance for the other

three suits and enough points to make a positive

contribution if North elects to pass; a bid

of 1NT describes the hand best to partner. If North bids 1NT then East is

likely to pass because the hand may be worth only 7 points if the Heart King

has no value.

If North has passed initially, South has the option of a pass, or a bid of 2D:

the pass is perhaps the most prudent option, bearing in mind the vulnerability.

If East holds four diamonds then North may have to give preference

between leaving 2D and bidding 2H, having already declined the opportunity

to bid 2H after West’s 1S bid.

If North has bid 1NT then South is likely to bid 2D to show the hand shape.

One of the most interesting aspects of bridge playing is trying to interpret

what is happening in the auction: This deal was played eight times and

inspection of the results information shows that a different contract was

played all 8 times!!

2019/2020 students celebrate

Stenden holds joint graduation

ceremony, after tough 2 years

JON HOUZET

Stenden SA held a

combined graduation

ceremony for the classes

of 2019 and 2020 at the Royal

St Andrews Hotel last Friday to

make up for the lack of a such a

function last year.

There were 30 hospitality

management graduates for 2020

alone, in spite of a year of

uncertainty during the Covid-19

l o ck d ow n .

The graduates from 2019

included those receiving

hospitality management and

disaster relief management

degrees.

Addressing the graduates

and their family members,

executive dean Wouter Hensens

said: “I’ve been looking forward

to days like this for 19 months.”

He advised the graduates to

“work hard, be a team player,

look after those you are

responsible for, and be a valuedriven

leader”.

He said the world needed

togetherness in both good times

and hardship.

“The temporary benefit of

cutting people loose during

hardship goes against the

narrative of community.”

He pointed to the owners of

the Royal St Andrews Hotel,

Martin and Linda Bekker, as an

example of business owners

who had kept their staff

throughout the lockdown, and

paid them their salaries even

when they were not able to

wo r k .

“That to me is leadership and

that is community,” he said, to

applause.

Hensens said the world was

going through a scary time, one

of the most alarming things

being the censorship of people

by the government and media.

“It’s something you’ll have to

deal with,” he said. “Evil only

thrives when good men and

women remain silent.”

He praised the graduates for

completing their studies during

a difficult period and said they

were entering a changed world.

He encouraged them to stay

in touch with Stenden, “wh e n

you are doing well and when

you struggle”. Stenden alumnus

Thulani Xhali was the keynote

s p e a k e r.

Xhali was manager of

MyPond Hotel from 2011 to

2015, then worked overseas,

and is currently head of

employee support programmes

for Nedbank group finance.

“It’s humbling to be invited

to speak at your alma mater,” he

said.

After referring to his family

background, he told the

students: “This is a moment for

leadership. You might say, ‘w hy

me?’ You should ask, ‘why not’

yo u ? ”

He said a crisis such as a

global pandemic made one

think about one’s life purpose.

Observing business closures

and retrenchments, Xhali said

he prepared his mind for his

own potential job loss.

He said he liked “nice

things”, but was at peace if he

should lose them.

“When they’re taken away,

does it take my essence away? I

think the f*** not!” he said.

Xhali said while negotiating

with Hensens before his speech,

he was allowed one swear

wo r d .

His parting advice was:

“Deliver good work, deliver on

time and don’t be a d**k”

Before conferring the degrees,

academic dean of the hotel

management school, Dr Juliet

Chipumuro asked two

colleagues who had received

doctorates during the lockdown

to walk the stage.

Tracy Painting received a

PhD in education and Megan

Sharrock a PhD in business

a d m i n i s t ra t i o n .

Chipumuro said the class of

2020 must have been pondering

their decision to study

hospitality management at a

time when businesses in the

industry were closing.

“Against this backdrop we

were forced to figure out

WE DID IT: The

class of 2019 joins

graduates as they

boards in

receiving their

degrees at a

Andrews Hotel

HOUZET

t h i n g s ,” she said. “Stenden has

exposed you to so many

situations to stimulate your

emotional growth, like

problem-based learning, group

work and internships in diverse

e nv i r o n m e n t s .

“Don’t stop when you’re

tired, stop when you’re done.

Maintain balance and focus on

your dreams,” she continued.

“So many of your limitations

are self-imposed. The adversity

we face is not so much to do

with opposition or environment,

it’s just adversity.”

She was pleased that the

majority of the graduates had

already found full-time jobs.

ONE CONVENIENT

LOCATION!

42 CAMPBELL STREET

Three businesses in one

spot provide for the

family/home

Big changes are under way for

42 Campbell Street, with local

business 2nd Best Pre-Loved

Goods undergoing renovations

on both sides of the premises to

bring together three businesses,

namely Froz-Hen, Dulux and

2nd Best, for even more

c o nve n i e n c e .

Froz-Hen is where

customers will find an

assortment of frozen, as well as

fresh products that will make

their life that little bit easier

when it comes to meal times.

Some of the fresh items

available at Froz-Hen will

include cheese, butter, wraps,

tortillas, braai rolls, pita bread

and garlic bread, but that is far

from all that is available. “My

vision is, especially in the time

of Covid when people do not

want to go out in groups, to

have true focus on family and

entertaining the family at

h o m e ,” said owner Sonelle

M u l l e r.

“There is a demand at this

time for quality food that is not

only affordable but

c o nve n i e n t ,” said Muller.

Available in the freezers will

be pastries such as frozen

croissants, bagels, danishes,

pies, and a wide selection of

frozen vegetables, from

mushrooms, carrots, broccoli,

cauliflower, peas and so on.

Also frozen fish, fish fingers,

calamari, fish cakes, a range of

halaal chicken from chicken

strips, nuggets, drumsticks,

wings, burgers can be found.

What range of frozen delights

would be complete without the

inclusion of onion rings, chips,

sweet potato fries, Russians,

cheese grillers, bacon and so

much more.

The Froz-Hen section,

previously located within

2nd Best Pre-Loved Goods, will

be relocating to the building

next door that was the Swiss

Corner Bakery.

This move will allow for

more products to be made

available, as well as providing a

more spacious shopping

environment for customers.

Every week a local business

will receive a product from

frozen to baked to show

appreciation for their continued

work in the community.

Already two businesses have

received delicious food items,

namely Dr Webster’s rooms and

Harcourts. This initiative will

take place until January.

In the middle of this

development is of course

2nd Best Pre-Loved Goods,

where one can find pre-loved

treasures of quality at affordable

prices to turn one’s house into a

home. As with the current trend

to stay at home more, why not

spruce up your home; whether

yo u ’re looking to replace your

old bed, search for a kitchen/

entertainment appliance, or to

simply redecorate - then

2nd Best is the place to visit.

THE Talk of the Town Senior

Santa Shoebox collection aims

to make this Christmas a little

more special for the elderly in

the area, of which there are

many who might spend this

otherwise joyful time alone and

without family. Please

contribute to this worthy cause

with items that the elderly might

enjoy. Sweets and other nonperishable

food items would be

welcome, as would be goodquality

used items, including

clothing. Think about what your

granny and granddad would

enjoy receiving at this special

time of year. Gifts and

shoeboxes (or any other

suitably-sized box) can be

dropped off at Talk of the Town’s

offices in Miles Street. We are

all going to be old and the

elderly deserve our

consideration at this time of the

ye a r.

TO DAY marks 581 days

since Covid-19 restrictions

were imposed by the SA

government. As the third wave

of the virus dissipates

restrictions have been eased in

an attempt to return to full

production and bring the

flailing economy back into line.

SA was relegated to noninvestment

status by all the

major financial credit ratings

agencies (Moody’s, Fitch and

Standard and Poor’s) in 2020

and it has remained there over

the Covid period. Among other

issues, the electrical supply in

the country is unstable and

cannot be guaranteed, so few

investors want to place their

money here.

DURING the more

stringent lockdown restrictions,

the entertainment industry was

virtually closed down and

many artists went without

performing for over 18 months.

Now, with restrictions eased,

there is a lot going on. The Van

der Riet Street festival is this

weekend, always lots of fun and

worth a trip to taste the food,

meet friends and listen to the

entertainers. Because of

predicted bad weather, the

Medolino Farmers Market has

been moved to November 6.

Medolino is also hosting Port

Alfred’s Got Talent auditions at

the park on November 27. Also

on November 27 the Bathurst

Agricultural Society is hosting a

Fun Day to generate funds to be

used for the proposed 2022

Bathurst Agricultural Show, the

first since 2019 There are also

many other smaller events at

local pubs and restaurants.

More information on these and

other events will be posted as

the information becomes

available. Please send us all the

information for inclusion in our

d i a r y.

OH DEAR, loadshedding is

back. Having endured last

we e k e n d ’s loadshedding there

was no warning before the

lights in the area went off at

7pm on Monday. Stage 2 was

implemented until 12 noon on

Wednesday when, again

without warning, it was

upgraded to Stage 4. Check the

Eskom web page or another

source for more information on

loadshedding schedules.

WHO are you going to vote

for in the 2021 local

government elections on

Monday November 1? Who is

capable of fixing our water

crisis? Political party promises

have yielded little in the way of

results. But your vote is your

right and should you not use it,

you will have missed an

opportunity to possibly bring

about a different outcome.

GREETINGS to everyone

coming week, may the year

ahead bring only happy and

WE learnt of the passing of

Mike Kenny in the early hours

of yesterday morning. Our

sincere condolences to his

family and friends, especially

his wife Barbara and children

Tash, Tiffany and Patrick. Our

thoughts are with you at this

time as we remember Mike and

the important contribution he

made to the town.

THE South African

economy is at a critical stage

and, peering into the future, it

seems that while unions and

others are demanding pay rises

that their companies (or

government) cannot afford,

most are left with pitifully low

increases or no increases at all.

Many lost their jobs along with

their only form of income

during the period of

restrictions. Unless some

major effort is made by

government to fix the problems

of electrical power, water

scarcity and reducing the

crime rate, we will not attract

investors and new industry, and

the passage down the slippery

slope will continue. Another

major issue is that of climate

change, and the targets set by

the major industrial nations

toward carbon neutrality. This

will put a massive strain on the

economy, potentially leading

to job losses in the coal

industry, from mining to

transport. The price of crude

oil has now far exceeded the

dreaded US$80 per barrel

mark and shows no sign of

relenting anytime soon. Today

it is more than double the price

it was this time last year. As we

go to press, and with last year’s

figures in brackets to compare

against, the Rand was trading at

R14.78 to the dollar (R16.35),

R20.39 to the pound (R21.23)

and R17.15 to the euro

(R19.21). Gold was trading at

$1,790.12 per fine ounce

($1,900.71), platinum at

$1,043.011 per fine ounce

($870.00) and Brent crude oil

at $84.77 per barrel ($40.36).

OUR

heartiest

congratulations and very good

wishes for the future to

VACCINATION MANDATE RULE FOR RHODES

The Rhodes University Council has considered

and approved a recommendation by Senate for a

vaccine mandate rule in terms of which a valid and

acceptable form of evidence of Covid-19

vaccination with an approved vaccine will be a

condition for access to the campus in 2022.

The special meeting of the Rhodes Council

was convened as the university prepares for the

full return of students and staff next year. A

statement released last week said the vaccination

requirement also applies as a condition for

registration for all students, as well as for staff

working on campus, service providers and

visitors.

A recommendation for an exemption

application process and an alternative health

status process for those who cannot take the

vaccine on medical or other legitimate and

justifiable grounds was also approved.

The vaccination mandate rule provides for the

consideration of special exemptions in

appropriate circumstances. Where such

applications are successful, the university will

consider steps to mitigate risk, including the

requirement to produce a negative Covid-19 test

result on a weekly basis. This would be at the cost

of the student, staff member, visitor or service

provider concerned.

HILLSVIEW ALSO GETS TAR

Hillsview Road in Sunnyside had been tarred for

about 300 metres of its length. The previous day

several heavy duty vehicles and equipment had

been noticed heading towards the CBD from

Hillsview Road.

MM Industries from Gauteng are responsible

for the milling and resurfacing of four streets in the

CBD, and could well have resurfaced the badly

potholed and crumbling Hillsview Road – the

machinery looked f a m i l i a r.

I’m wondering who is paying for the

resurfacing of Hillsview Road, and the question

arises: What about other streets in Makhanda that

are in a dreadful state?

An enquiry was sent to the relevant

department at Makana Municipality about

Hillsview Road but had not met with any response

by the time of going to press.

AN AUCTION AND A DINNER

The Rotary Club of Grahamstown’s online auction

kicked off last week and is in full swing,

culminating in the live auction dinner at the

Wyvern on November 6. The auction and dinner

will be supporting three causes – Fo o d 4 Fu t u r e s

and Grahamstown/Sunshine Coast Hospices.

Food4Futures is an NPO with its primary focus

being on hunger alleviation, supplying food

parcels to families who are unable to feed

themselves. The two hospices provide free homebased

hospice and palliative care to those with

life-threatening illnesses.

The online auction was launched on October

Closing date: Friday, 19 November 2021

18 and continues until the live auction dinner

when tickets will cost R290 per person. The

online auction can be accessed at

www.rotaryclubofgrahamstown.co.za and

dinner tickets can be booked via

Belinda@itsnet.co.za or 082-375-4498.

ANOTHER GRADUATION CEREMONY

For the second time in more than 100 years of its

existence, Rhodes University will host an exclusive

graduation ceremony for Masters and Doctoral

graduates tomorrow (Friday, October 29). The

virtual graduation will be the fourth since

lockdown measures were implemented.

Of the 216 degrees to be conferred, more than

half are male graduates, and a quarter are

international students.

COPS FIND COPPER

A fortnight ago Hi-Tec Security warned that the

theft of copper piping, tubing and wiring had risen

“at an alarming rate due to the increased value for

scrap copper”. Stolen copper is valuable as scrap

metal as it can easily be reused in the manufacture

of fibre optics and electrical parts.

Thus it came as no surprise to learn of the raids

on several local scrap metal dealers by Makhanda

(Grahamstown) SA Police Service last week.

Police discovered copper pipes, taps, cabling and

wiring worth more than R80,000, allegedly at a

dealer in Victoria Road behind the old railway

station and arrested two men. The scrap metal

dealer’s business was later closed down by the

SAPS, it has been learnt.

ONE HOME FOR THESE TWO

Shimmer and Shine are two ‘feline girls’ that have

been in foster care since February, and the

Grahamstown Feral Cat Project is desperate to

find a “together home” for them. They are about

eight months old, sterilised, vaccinated and

dewormed, and their adoption fee has been

wa i ve d .

Interested persons can contact Margaret or

Kayla on 076-414-4922.

RECORD BREAKING FORM

Track running sensation Emma Kruse set no less

than three new records in the U16 division at the

Diocesan School for Girls’ (DSG) athletics day,

including one record that had stood for no less

than 51 years!

Kruse broke Elli Cousel’s record in the 1500

metres and 3000m events, the new records

standing at 4 minutes 58,69 seconds and 11 mins

14,66 secs respectively.

The highlight of her day came when Kruse

cruised to victory in the U16 race over 800

metres, bettering D Mullins’ 51-year-old record

by three seconds.

MAKING IT HAPPEN

Parkrun locally continued on Saturday after a

many-month break due to you-know-what, and

on this occasion attracted 71 runners, joggers and

wa l k e r s .

Of course, parkrun locally, nationally and

globally could not happen without the support of

volunteers, and last Saturday’s happy band of

helpers comprised Paul Caiger, John Haydock,

Neil Kramm, Natash Musarurwa, Tonderai

Musarurwa, Enoch-Odei-Addo, Colin Price-

Smith and Peter Stockwell.

Participants from last Saturday who are

nearing ‘landmarks’ include Paul Caiger (10 to go

to 100), John Haydock (three to go to 100), Angie

Marriner (three to go to 150), Ross Marriner (six to

go to 200), Bridget Mazwai (seven to go to 150),

Zani Siqwadi (one to go to 50), Val Varela (10 to

go to 100) and Ron Weissenberg (four to go to

200).

Parkruns are held at 8am each Saturday from

the entrance to Makana botanical gardens in

Lucas Avenue.

LEADING

Victoria Girls’ High School (VGHS) has announced

its pupil leaders for 2022. Sinokholo Ngwekazi is

school captain (head prefect) and Kamvelihle

Ncula is deputy school captain (deputy head

prefec t).

LOCAL LEGEND CELEBRATES

Long-time Grahamstown/Makhanda resident,

Clyde Wallace, who continues to live in the city,

celebrated his 96th birthday at the weekend.

TOURNEY WIN

Congratulations to the St Andrew’s College U15A

basketball players who were crowned champions

at the St David Marist Inanda tournament in

Johannesburg at the weekend. In the final on

Sunday, the visitors from Makhanda beat St

Alban’s College from Pretoria 45-44 in a hardfought

encounter.

Three St Andrew’s players were named in the

U15 All Star team – Tristan Boulanger, Sankara

Bloemen Gwisai and Siphesihle Madlala. Voted

the most valuable player of the tournament was

Siphesihle Madlala.

LIGHTNING STRIKES

A recital by organ scholars and their teachers was

held in the Cathedral last Saturday.

Several months ago a lightning bolt struck the

Cathedral and disabled much of the organ. A

Cathedral member said: “The theological

implications of ‘an act of God’ directed against a

place of worship are likely to remain mysterious,

but the good news is that the organ has at last been

repaired. What better way to celebrate than to

listen to fine music expertly played on it!”

IN SPARKLING FORM

At the DSG inter-house athletics day, Abigail

Holderness won six events in the U14 division

(100m, 200m, 400m, 800m 1500m and long jump),

while Kayleigh Clayton won five events (100m,

200m, 400m, 800m and 1500m) in the U15 age

group.

In the U16 division, Emma Kruse won three

events (400m, 800m and 1500m) and Megan

Emslie two events (100m and 200m).

In the open division, Jamie Campbell won four

events (200m, 400m, javelin and long jump) and

Sophia Goedhart won two events.

TOP PERFORMER

Mrs Carmen Henning, on the teaching staff of PJ

Olivier High School, received the award for “To p

Performing Teacher” during a virtual prizegiving

from the SA Mathematics Foundation. She

received the award following completion of a

series of modules in “Mathematical Thinking”

presented by the African Institute for

Mathematical Sciences Enrichment Centre.

FIELD CONCERT

The Reverend Howard Kirkby memorial music

concert being hosted by Kingswood College on

Sunday, October 31 (3.30pm) will be an outdoor

event on the City Lords field, with tickets priced at

R40 for adults and R20 for children under the age

of 13. Rev Kirkby was a long-serving chaplain,

teacher, Council member and supporter of music

at Kingswood.

IN GREAT TRACK FORM

Taryn Hurly was in form in the girls’ open division

at the Kingswood College sports day, winning

several events and shattering an existing record.

This came in the 3000m race when she

recorded 11 minutes 27,79 seconds – the

previous record was set by Caitlin Wilmot at 13

mins 34,22 secs last year.

Hurly was also placed 1st in the 400m, 800m

and 1500m.

NINETY BETWEEN THEM

At last week’s valedictory service at Victoria Girls’

High School, four staff members were recognised

for their long service - Ms Kirsty McCrindle – 30

years; Ms Anna Retief – 25 years; Mr David Stoloff

– 20 years; and Mr Sibusiso Mkhize – 15 years.

IN THE BAND

Two DSG pupils who were members of the St

A n d r ew ’s College pipe band that performed at the

school’s retreat ceremony during Balloon Week

were Erin Powers (tenor drum) and Carrey Wiblin

(bagpipes).

THIS WEEKEND AT BELMONT

Starting tomorrow (Friday) Belmont Golf Club will

host three competitions over the weekend. The

Pam Golding nine-hole sundowner competition

will be held tomorrow afternoon, a club

competition on Saturday, and the Ailsa Trophy

mixed pairs event on Sunday.

RETIRING

Certainly no stranger to the Graeme College

campus, is Mr Alwyn Riddin who retires at the end

of the year after teaching at the school for more

than 40 years.

A DUKE AND A COLONEL

Two streets in close proximity to each other lie in

the shadow of Sugarloaf Hill, in the vicinity of the

historic City Lords rugby ground, and my interest

was drawn to them when I paged through the list

of local streets and their origins.

Seymour Street was named after a Duke, Sir E

Seymour, and also Colonel Charles Seymour,

Military Secretary to Sir George Cathcart. No

dates are given in the official street listing.

Saunders Street was named after Dr Saunders,

a First City Colonel and Councillor in the 1890s.

IN THE ROUGH

The DSG senior cross-country championships

have been won by Emma Kruse and the junior

champs by Emily Walker. Crewe House won the

inter-house competition.

TENNIS CHAMPS

Graeme College’s senior tennis doubles

champions are Ethan Beyleveld and Murray Tyson,

and the runners-up are David Tyson and Steven

du Preez.

WINNERS

Makhanda schools are welcome to submit the

names of pupils who received academic and

sports prizes and awards at their respective endof-year

functions. These can be emailed to

BAS aim to host big 2022 Bathurst

Agricultural Show, all going well

New office bearers elected at AGM

ROB KNOWLES

The Bathurst Agricultural Society

held its AGM at the Bathurst

Showgrounds on Monday and

president Danny Wepener said he was

determined that the 2022 show would

not be cancelled.

Because of Covid-19 restrictions,

both the 2020 and 2021 shows were

cancelled and, as a way to maintain

momentum, the committee opted for

an abbreviated one-day event, the

Bathurst Weekend Diversion, in place

of the 2021 show.

However, the 2020 show was

intended to be a commemoration of

200 years since the arrival of the 1820

Settlers.

“We must hold a big show next

ye a r,” Wepener said, adding that it

should commemorate the 200 years of

Settlers to the Eastern Cape.

However, Wepener was cognisant

that the decision would be dependent

on the Covid-19 restrictions at the time.

Wepener asked for a minute’s

silence to remember members of the

community who had been important to

BAS and the Bathurst Show over the

years, who had passed during the year.

Specifically he spoke of Joan Taylor,

Ann Hernon, Dudley Waters and Olive

Pike.

The financial report, presented by

BAS treasurer Derrick Church, showed

that, because of assistance by

auctioneers Hobson and Co and others,

the finances were in a far better

position than at the end of 2021.

In fact, a loss of more than

R300,000 was reduced to almost zero

thanks predominantly to Hobson and

Co’s cattle auctions and the Pineapple

Growers Association, which is donating

R1 per tonne of pineapples sold as well

as contributions made by Hospice and

the Lions Club, among others.

Church and Wepener also gave

special thanks to the Sunshine Rockers

who have performed free of charge at

BAS events, as well as Sheila and Mac

M c C a u l e y.

Lady president Pam Elliot then

presented her report for the year and

thanked Christine Craddock for her

assistance while she was away.

BAS is also hosting another fun day

on November 27 at the showgrounds

and more information will be posted in

the coming weeks.

The office bearers were elected at

the AGM, and former BAS president,

Cecil Jones Phillipson, temporarily took

the chair before Wepener was reelected

to the position.

Pam Elliott will be organising the

youth section as this has proved an

invaluable asset in securing a good

education for participants.

The youth section, under the

umbrella of the East Cape Agricultural

Show Association (Ecasa), provides

youth with skills in animal husbandry,

where each participant is allocated an

animal they must display at the show.

The youth section is intended to

change the way of thinking among the

youth, so they become involved in

agriculture in terms of interests, life

skills, careers and entrepreneurship,

and actively participate in youth shows

and actions.

In the past, participants in the youth

programme have benefitted in being

accepted into educational institutes

where their academic skills alone

would not necessarily have allowed

e n t ra n c e .

Ecasa also makes a substantial

contribution of R50,000 to the show.

With the new committee in place, it

announced the following head

stewards: cattle and small stock

sections, Hobson and Co; poultry

section, Tommy Webster; pig section,

Rob Tyson; horse section, Cate Pike;

pineapple section, Richard Muir;

indoor stands, Wendy Mills; outdoor

stands, Cyril Tyson; security and

parking, to be determined; gates,

Sakkie Scheepers; pubs, Marius Marais.

Newly elected 2nd vice president,

farmer Neil Scott, is now the stockist of

Meadow Feeds animal foodstuffs and

rents a building from BAS to store stock.

Wepener assured the community

that the BAS would not be selling

animal foodstuff but simply charge rent

for the use of the building.

Wepener said new blood was

required for the BAS to survive and

encouraged young people to become

involved and join BAS to ensure

sustainable agriculture into the future.

High Tea in support of cancer

Nurse guest speaker to raise awareness

ROB KNOWLES

Despite the breezy wind,

Saturday morning

proved to be bright and

sunny, a good omen as the

morning was centred around

breast cancer awareness at

Kenton Asian, where

professional nurse, midwife and

palliative care nurse Paula

Stander gave a talk on the

importance of self-examination.

“It is important that women

check their breasts at least once

a month to ascertain changes to

their bodies,” she told the 100-

strong audience.

“Breast cancer can develop

in woman at any age, from

teenagers to grandmothers, and

early detection is a key to

survival. And don’t forget, men

can also develop breast cancer.

But, on examining yourself, do

you know what you are looking

for?”

She went on to say that, as

all breasts are different, it was

important that women know

their own bodies to identify any

abnormalities. She then gave a

demonstration on the best

method to check breast by bring

the arm up, around the back of

the head and then gently and

lightly squeezing the breast to

detect lumps, weeping nipples

and any irregularities in the

shape and contours of the

breast.

“In the past survival was

relatively low, but today it is

better than 90% of women who

develop breast cancer survive.

Early detection is the key,” said

S t a n d e r.

She said that poor diet

among other contributing

factors can be to blame for

instances of breast cancer and

that women do not listen to their

bodies, but rather mothers focus

on their children, husbands and

friends before themselves. She

said that women often felt

embarrassed to talk about

problems they might be

experiencing with their breasts.

“Perhaps you know the local

GP well and do not feel

comfortable talking to them

about personal issues,” said

Stander. “But there are

alternatives, women doctors you

can speak to, or someone at the

hospital or clinic.”

Stander recommended

testing yourself five days after

your period, when hormone

levels return to normal.

“Spread the information

around. It is something that all

women should know about,”

she said.

The High Tea was prepared

by Peter Wansbury and

consisted of a range of canapes

and sweet pastries and was

washed down with a coffee

tasting, provided by Manuel

Lago of Carraro Coffee in

Newton Park, Gqeberha.

Altogether, the morning was

a huge success which also

included raffles and prizes for

lucky attendees.

CHECK YOUR BREASTS: That was the overall message of professional nurse, Paula Stander,

at the Kenton Asian High Tea in her effort to spread the message during Breast Cancer

Awareness Month Picture: ROB KNOWLES

Kenton Rotary’s news

The Rotary Club of Kenton-on-

Sea enjoyed a busy evening on

Tuesday October 19.

First, they inducted two new

members, Alison and Vaughan

Nisbet, who were warmly

welcomed into the Rotary

f a m i l y.

Then, the club welcomed Dr

Luiz Pedro from the Dias One

Loft pigeon club and Dallas

Ehrke from Sunshine Coast

Hospice.

Cheques for R16,300 from

One Loft and R21,100 from

Rotary were presented to

Sunshine Hospice, being the

proceeds from Kenton Rotary’s

recent Pigeon Race day.

Every year, the president of

Rotary International challenges

clubs worldwide to work

towards achieving a series of

goals designed to strengthen

both Rotary and the club.

Achievement of these goals

earns the club a presidential

citation.

“Congratulations to past

president Dave Howard for

leading this club and achieving

all the goals required to receive

this prestigious citation for the

year 2020-2021.

“Our club is the proud

recipient of this award for

almost every year of its 12-year

h i s t o r y,” Rotarian Pippa Steele-

Gray said.

Six young people

representing local schools also

gave a report-back on their

experiences at the recent Rotary

Youth Leader Academy virtual

meeting held by the Rotary Club

of Port Alfred.

“Their eloquence and

obvious enjoyment of this event

proved to us all the value of this

Rotary programme,” S t e e l e - G ray

THANK YOU: Sunshine Coast Hospice receives two cheques

from the Rotary Club of Kenton-on-Sea and Dias One Loft

pigeon club last week. From left, are Dr Barbara Matthews,

Dallas Ehrke of Hospice, Dr Luiz Pedro of the Dias One Loft,

and Kenton Rotary president Eugene de Witt

said. For the last two years, the

Rotary Club of Kenton-on-Sea

has been running a manure

project.

President-elect and farmer,

Simon Matthews, together with

Rotarians Roger Carthew and

Peter Reed realised there was

gold to be made in dung

because there are so many keen

gardeners in the community.

Matthews provided the

manure and Reed and Carthew

have bagged it and delivered it

and gardens in the community

have bloomed ever since.

“At R30 a bag, this has

proved to be an excellent

money spinner during times

when raising the money we

need to continue supporting our

many community projects has

been more than a little difficult.

“Happily, the project is ongoing

as Simon’s cows continue

to provide the necessary

product,“ Steel-Gray said.

To order, call Bridget on 083-

709-1400. There is a fee for

delivery outside of Kenton, or

customers will be advised when

to collect their order.

Kenton's Rotary club has

started a new community

project, Siyakhathla.

On a monthly basis, they put

together 400 packs of food,

which translates into 2,000

meals. The packs are d e l ive r e d

to needy households, in

exchange for recycling refuse

that beneficiaries bring to

centres established in

Ekuphumleni and Marselle.

The project serves the dual

purpose of feeding people and

helping to clean up the

e nv i r o n m e n t .

Club of the Kowie will feature

renowned researcher from

Rhodes University, Andrew Witte,

who will discuss the topic

“Unlocking South Africa’s white

gold: The perlemoen story“.

The meeting will be at the R72

Saloon on November 9, at 9.30am

for 10am.

Perlemoen is an endemic sea

snail and is highly sought-after in

Asian markets, which has resulted in

overfishing and poor management

p ra c t i c e s .

This has resulted in Port Alfred

and Gqeberha becoming major

poaching areas.

Innovative ranching and stock

enhancement strategies have been

introduced. The talk will cover this

and more about the sustainability of

this important resource.

All are welcome to come and

listen to this most informative talk by

an expert on “white gold”.

Croquet nationals in PA

BRIAN MCLEAN

The South African Croquet

Nationals, the highlight of

the year, will be held at

the Port Alfred Bowling and

Croquet Club from November 1

to 6.

Croquet secretary and

former club captain, Noeline

Kirsten, said 65 players,

including seven international

players, would take part.

Among them will be Judith

Hanekom from Cape Town,

who is the current ladies’ wo r l d

65 players from across SA including ladies world champ to compete next month

champion, as well as Richard

Dladla, a former SA champion

from Gauteng.

This will be the fourth time

the nationals will be played at

the Port Alfred Club.

It was staged in 2007, 2011

and 2016 but was cancelled in

2020 due to the Covid-19

l o ck d ow n .

“This year we will see the

largest number of players

attending and players will be

arriving from the Western

Province, Gauteng, as well as

the Eastern Cape, including the

SA Croquet president, Mike

Moore, from Somerset East,’’

Kirsten said.

She added that 20 members

of the Port Alfred Croquet Club

would be participating.

Current club captain Roger

Darkes said a huge amount of

work had been done in the leadup

to the event.

“Of major concern was the

recent drought which affected

the playing surface drastically as

well as the Covid scare.

“The club will supply meals

every day so the kitchen will be

really busy.

“Players have organised their

own accommodation and

whether wind or rain, play will

take place. We are especially

pleased with a record number

of entries having been received,

while some of the top players in

the country will be seen in

action.

“I would also like to thank all

those club members who

worked so hard to raise money

during the year as well as

members of the bowling section

for their hard work regarding the

bowling greens,’’ Darkes said.

Long-time croquet player and

coach Peter Wansel said he was

looking forward to playing,

adding that the competition

would be tough in both

sections.

The event will end on

Saturday November 6 with the

finals being played, followed by

the prize-giving at 7pm.

Spectators are welcome.

BOWLS BANTER

Kenton Bowling Club

Another week of strong easterly

winds with some welcome rain kept a

lot of our bowlers off the greens this

week. Nevertheless there were fair

turnouts at tabs this week and some

good bounce games took place on

Fr i d ay.

On Friday evening the whisky draw

was won by Ilse Oosthuizen, a

prospective new member, and the PT

Lockdown Draw was won by Rodney

Austin for the first time in the almost

18 months it has been running.

Congratulations to both the winners

and enjoy the prizes.

Internal competitions have been

continuing with some very close

results. The Eastern Areas Champion

of Champions event has been brought

forward to the weekend of November

6-7 and this year the club winners of

the Novice, Open and Seniors will be

taking part. We currently only have

the Novice section completed and it’ll

be a push to complete the other

matches in time but let's get out there

and complete what we can.

There are a number of tournaments

taking place at our fellow Eastern Area

clubs in the rest of the year so please

look at the notice boards, put teams

together and support our fellow

clubs. We all need each other's

support in keeping our clubs going.

We have a new member in Danie du

Preez and a few other prospective

members are also on the cards. We all

extend a very warm welcome to Danie

and wish him years of happy bowling.

Planning for our Kenton Mixed

Classic which is only three weeks

away is progressing well and the

entries are coming in. Contributions

to the raffle and other prizes are still

needed so if you have anything for it

please drop it off in the collection box

at the club.

The club grounds are looking

superb at the moment thanks to the

rain and Kenton Garden Services

together with the huge amount of

work that Shirley Usher does every

Thursday in the garden beds. The A

green is looking very good after its

makeover and I'm sure we'll be

playing on it very soon.

A reminder that

the Umpire's

course will be happening this week at

the club between Monday and

Wednesday and we wish all who are

attending an enlightening and

enjoyable time.

Kowie Bowling Club

After a week of splendid bowling

weather, the club enjoyed three days

of tabs-in and a bounce game on

Fr i d ay.

With the club focussing on playing

4’s to rest the other two greens,

Tuesday's tabs in was contested in

lovely weather, with the team of

Stompie Bellingam, Claire Bell, Ian

Munro and Debbie Slattery walking

away comfortably with the SPAR

sponsored vouchers. Thursday’s tabsin

was well attended, with most rinks

being used in playing fours, with only

one game of trips. Brian Rogers and his

team of Michael van der Sandt and

Debbie Slattery, won the ‘mega bucks’

competition. With the threat of light

rains, many of our club members

chose to stay indoors on Saturday

afternoon. Games of trips were played

in overcast weather, and the deserved

mega bucks winners were Jackie Kriel

and her team of Wendy Heny and

Yvonne Hill.

Well done to Denny Richardson

who ventured out to Graaff-Reinet this

past weekend to play in the Gem of the

Karoo. His team came 6th out of 34

teams.

We wish our newly elected club

president, Judy Alexander, and Margie

Thomas, bon voyaye on an extended

visit to their respective families in the

UK.

The yearly Christmas dinner is

coming up on December 3, and

request that all members who would

like to attend, to contact Sally Moffat

before November 12, as caterers

need to plan accordingly. The yummy

menu has been circulated on the

Kowie Bowls chat group, so check it

out and let Sally know soonest what

your preferences are. The cost is R120

per person and promises to be a huge

success.

Lastly, Kowie has had a bowling

shirt designed especially for their

centenary celebrations next year.

Orders to be placed as soon as

possible with Helise Hattingh for the

different options that have been made

available for these shirts.
