New factory in BCM
Premier welcomes R91.7 million investment
SIPHOSIHLE DYONASE
Eastern Cape premier Oscar
Mabuyane was part of the
official opening of a stateof-the-art
Sundale Schreiber
Slice-on-Slice (SOS) Cheese
Processing Factory held at the
East London Industrial Special
Economic Zone (ELSEZ) on
Tu e s d ay.
The office of the premier
reported that the new facility
which marks Sundale Dairy’s
expansion and a R91.7 million
re-investment into the ELSEZ is
the result of a joint partnership
between Sundale Dairy and
Schreiber Foods.
The launch also marked
Sundale Dairy’s 10th
anniversary in the ELSEZ.
The event was attended by
Sundale Schreiber
management, members of
the ELSEZ board and executive
management led by Professor
Mlungisi Makalima and CEO
Simphiwe Kondlo.
Mabuyane said: “It is
through investments by
companies such as Sundale
Schreiber that we will be able to
chip away the unemployment
rate because they have
multiplier effects in the entire
agro-value chain.
“We are, however, missing
out on opportunities that could
lead to more job creation in the
agricultural value chain as we
are not beneficiating enough
from our agricultural produce.
“This is not a matter of lack
of policy but rather a matter of
failure to implement policies
that favour beneficiation.”
Mabuyane noted that the
province has enough milk to
support Sundale Schreiber
operations and ensure that
localisation of slice-on-slice
cheese takes place within the
p r ov i n c e .
Currently, 70% of slice-onslice
cheese in South Africa is
imported.
“Dairy farming in the Eastern
Cape is a major contributor to
milk production in South Africa,
producing nearly 28% of the
national total (about 812 million
litres of milk per year).
“Our province has larger
dairy farms than other provinces
that are mostly technologically
advanced with mechanised
operations such as milking
machines and computerised
systems to manage these larger
herds.
“At any given time, the cows
available for milking are
estimated at 200,000 to
210,000 head,” he said.
Kondlo added that the
organisation is excited to
welcome the investment which
will contribute towards the
deepening of the agroprocessing
value chain and
localisation as well as the
diversification of the sector’s
industrial production.
“The acquisition of new
technologies and industrial
capabilities bodes well for our
efforts to ensure continuous
upskilling and skills transfer on
our platform.
“The timing of this
investment is impeccable as our
country is mobilising all
stakeholders around economic
recovery from the massive
impact of Covid-19.
“This signals a season of
hope and recovery,” he said.
Sundale Dairy CEO Pierre
van Rensburg said that the
Sundale Schreiber facility is set
to create 100 additional jobs
over a period of five years.
However, 40 of those have
already been filled.
“Sundale has 497 existing
employees bringing the total to
557 direct manufacturing jobs
within the next five years.
“Not only will the company
create meaningful
manufacturing jobs, it will also
be helping the local farmers,”
said van Rensburg.

As the little ones are made ready
for Grade R next year, Future
Roses Educare Centre is
requesting donations in the form
of food, clothing items and toys
ahead of their Christmas Party,
as well as a graduation dinner
on December 10.
The pre-school struggles
with financial constraints as
many parents cannot afford to
pay fees.
“We are depending on half
the fees to support the centre,”
said Future Roses managing
director Linda Beja.
“We will be closing on
December 15 and it would be
nice if we could get donations
of food hampers, as most of the
kids depend on having breakfast
and lunch at school.”
The educare centre was
founded in 2015, with the
majority of Future Roses parents
working as street vendors.
“When we started the
foundation we noticed that
these ladies carry the children
on their backs, even on rainy
d ay s ,” said Beja.
Beja said initially the creche
did not charge the parents
school fees as it was given space
to operate at a local church.
“For groceries we were
helped by friends, as we cook
two meals a day. Due to
unforeseen circumstances we
moved early in the year to a new
premises, that I’ve been helped
by friends to rent out.”
Beja said the centre was
registered with department of
social development
“The challenge we are
experiencing now is that they
[the children] come to school
with the hope that they will get
something to eat.”

Quartet to put
on ‘Symphony
of the Keys’
on four pianos
CROSSWORD number 1256
Classical performance at Guild Theatre, a ‘first’
RARELY HEARD: Pianists, from left, Jacques du Plessis, Angela Kobus, Jo Stemmet and Hayley

MATTHEW FIELD
Onaipo Productions, in
collaboration with the
East London Guild
Theatre, will be presenting their
new production Symphony of
the Keys on November 23.
Jacques du Plessis, Angela
Kobus, Jo Stemmet and Hayley
White will be presenting work
from famous composers such as
Beethoven and Mozart,
specially written for eight hands
on four pianos.
“A performance such as this
is seldom seen or heard and it is
somewhat of an anomaly,” said
Du Plessis.
“The piano is mostly a solo
instrument or used for
accompaniment and it’s not
often that pianists are able to
perform together on their own
p i a n o s .”
Kobus said most of the music
that would be performed could
only be done so by four pianists.
White added: “Apart from
original compositions, we’ll be
performing an arrangement of
Mozart’s Eine Kleine
Nachtmusik and Beethoven’s
Fifth Symphony.
“These works were originally
composed for a full symphony
orchestra and so to perform
them as a piano ensemble
allows for some interesting
interpretive choices.”
Stemmet said working with
her three colleagues had been a
rewarding experience and while
they had worked together in the
past, this performance would
still be a first for them.
Symphony of the Keys will
be presented at 7pm on
November 23 at the Guild
Th e a t r e .
Tickets are R120 per person
(R50 for students and
pensioners) and area available
via WhatsApp on 079-496-

Seats are limited and strict

‘Frack off Shell’
Locals come together to protest seismic blasting
MIKE LOEWE
The Wild and East Coast
from Buffalo City Metro to
Coffee Bay came alive at
the weekend with protests
against the 3D seismic
blasting off the Wild Coast
on December 1.
Coastal groups came out
with scathing and colourful
banners and chants on Saturday
against the continuous 230-
decibel air-gun blasting every
10 seconds of Wild Coast
marine life by mega-corporation
Shell’s hired gas-and-oil hunter,
the Amazon Warrior.
By 11am on Sunday 81,000
people had petitioned the
minister of forestry, fisheries and
the environment Barbara Creecy
on site Change.org stating that
they objected to both the Wild
Coast and Gqeberha-St Francis
exploration areas being
subjected to blasting which
would damage or destroy all
marine life.
Attorney Ricky Stone of
Cullinan & Associates said they
were “acting for numerous
affected parties and clients to
seek legal recourse against
Shell’s planned 3D seismic
s u r ve y s ”. More details would
f o l l ow.
On the beaches, protesters
demanded that Creecy
withdraw the environmental
authorisation handed too easily
and without much research to
Shell by the department of
minerals and energy, described
in one media report as the fox in
charge of the hen house.
Creecy was asked to respond
and her spokesperson Albi
Modise confirmed receipt but
did not indicate if there was to
be a further comment after
Fr i d ay ’s statement in which
Creecy said her department was
“not involved in any aspect” of
the decision-making “including
environmental impacts” around
the granting of approval for the
seismic survey and further gas
and oil exploration.
All powers of approval
rested with minerals and energy
and were “binding until set
aside on review by court”,
Creecy said.
This position drew a chorus
of outrage, from 200
demonstrators at Nahoon Reef
in East London, Rainbow Valley,
Chintsa and Coffee Bay who
chanted, as dogs barked: “No
more blasting!” and “Save the
Wild Coast”.
Jonginenge Eco-Adventure
teacher Dean Knox, his
surfboard painted boldly with a
protest message, said it was
outrageous that Creecy — a
teacher by profession — could
abandon her post as custodian
of the environment and commit
this and future generations to a
life of hell under Shell.
He said the entire Wild
Coast region, which was rich
with marine life, should be
declared a marine protected
area and should be allowed to
develop as a tourism and
educational area, rather than the
“short-termism” of blasting and
drilling for oil.
“There will be no jobs for
anyone. Jobs will go to people
trained elsewhere and they will
stay out at sea,” he said.
“Shell would leave the Wild
Coast in a state of devastation.
He and others urged the public
to boycott Shell.
The protesters ranged from
legendary Nahoon Reef surfers
Gordon Harmer, Roy Raffin and
Mike Schroeter, leader of the
Wild Women trail runners Kim
van Kets, and prominent EL
Open Water Swimmers led by
Joy Roach, Gail Wild and
Marie-Claire Hand, and had a
strong showing of teenagers, all
with banners and posters.
The Artwork at the Reef
protest included life-size cutouts
of whales and dolphins, a
banner of a turtle stating “Please
don’t. We beg you. Only our
shells belong, not you”.
Messages read: “Don’t be
Shell-fish”, “We don’t need your
e x p l o ra t i o n ”, “Save our oceans,
save our future”, “Leave fossil
TAKING A STAND: A huge message in the sand for miner Shell which starts seismic blasting on
the Wild Coast on December 1, evoking fury over expected massive marine ecosystem damage
and die-off. It was made by Dean Knox of Jonginenge and Kevin Harris of Save Nahoon and
passersby who got stuck in Picture: RICHARD WARREN-SMITH/FACEBOOK
fuels in the ground”, “For the
voice you don’t understand”
with a picture of a whale, “To
Hell with Shell”, “I want my kids
to be able to experience the
Wild Coast one day” from a
teen, and “Trespassers will be
prosecuted” with a painting of a
shark and full mouth of sharp
teeth.
On Chintsa beach, protesters
held placards stating: “Th o u
Shelt not”, “Hey Shell, don’t
blast our shell-life”, “Frack off
big Oil”, “Net zero (emissions)
2050?? We demand naturebased
solutions now”, “Hands
off our coast” and “Protect our
coast”.
One grey-bearded man,
dressed up as Neptune, pointed
an accusing finger.
At Coffee Bay banners read:
“No to Shell”, “Save our sea”,
and “Stop Shell”.
Van Kets told the crowd that
they were marathon runners
who would be up for the fight to
get the oil giant away from the
Wild Coast.
Turning on the Amazon
Warrior survey ship, which
reaches Cape Town next week
from West Africa, she said: “We
are warriors too!”
Chintsa Green Coast leader
Mike Dennison said seismic
“a c t iv i t y ” was damaging to
ocean ecosystems.
Without any knowledge of
the scale of destruction
“practice should follow nothing
but the precautionary
principle”.
A collapse of marine
resources would be “in all
likelihood” irreversible. -

Leak delaying
library PC lab
TWINKLE, TWINKLE LITTLE STAR
Computers and tables ready, but roof damaged
MATTHEW FIELD
Beacon Bay Library’s
proposed computer lab
remains unfinished five
years after it was tabled.
As previously reported by
the GO! & Express (‘L i b ra r y ’s
new PC lab stuck in limbo’,
March 11), the original deadline
for completion had been set as
2020 but construction ground to
a halt due to the Covid-19
outbreak.
It had been listed as a ward
priority back in 2016.
However, there are signs that
completion might finally be in

the library and observed clear
signs of water damage in the
lab’s roof.
Panels had been removed
and there was obvious rot
underneath.

From boys to men
Summer initiation season officially opened
SIPHOSIHLE DYONASE
Chairperson of the
Provincial Initiation
Coordinating Committee
(PICC) Nkosi Langa Mavuso
officially declared the 2021
Summer Season of U l wa l u ko
(traditional initiation) open for
two months, starting from
November 12 to January 12.
The guiding theme is:
mabaye bephila babuye
bephila, siyazingca ngesiko
Lethu (Safe passage to
manhood), said Mavuso in a
statement.
Mavuso said the Risk
Adjusted Strategy (RAS) for the
season has been endorsed by
the Provincial Executive
Council (Exco) of the Eastern
Cape in line with the resolution
73 (1) of the Disaster
Management Act under Alert
level 1.
He added that RAS enforces
all parents to subject their boys
to Covid-19 screening as well as
health screening before going to
the bush.
Nkosi Mavuso further
encouraged parents to vaccinate
their children beforehand to
prevent deaths and severe
illness resulting in
hospitalisation.
“However vaccination is not
a prerequisite for u l wa l u ko .
Boys who are not vaccinated
will still undergo the initiation
p ra c t i c e .
“Therefore, all boys together
with iingcibi ( t ra d i t i o n a l
surgeon) and namakhankatha
(traditional nurse) will be
subjected to Covid 19 screening
and testing regardless of their
vaccination status,” he said.
Nkosi Mavuso said the
Provincial Initiation Task Team
(PITT) has met over two days in
OR Tambo to evaluate the state
of readiness for the season.
“I am refreshed by the
amount of good work done by
our teams across the province
towards the summer season.
“As always, we are ready for
the summer season 2021 within
the Covid-19 regulations as per
the RAS,” said Mavuso.
“Initiation practices are
allowed under this resolution
including Imigidi (home coming
celebrations) and traditional
leaders are aware of it hence
they are expected to take all the
necessary steps to guarantee
compliance in their areas.
“Any deviation from the
resolution will result in the
closure of the amabhuma
(traditional initiation huts) and
initiation schools by our
monitoring teams.”
Nkosi Mavuso encouraged
the chairpersons of local houses
(CLH) in traditional leaders to
work with the existing District
and Metro Initiation Forums
until the end of the season.
“Our appeal for
collaboration is informed by our
desire for a season that is free of
deaths and injuries of our
ch i l d r e n .
“Our monitoring
interventions seek to
complement efforts by parents
and families to protect life and
limbs of our children,” he said.
MEC Xolile Nqatha
appealed to the outgoing
mayors to ensure what he
called “seamless and well
managed transition to curb the
loss of life and injuries” during
the summer season of u l wa l u ko .
“I have requested the
departing mayors and speakers
to extend the support that is
provided to the initiation
practice of ulwaluko including
preparations for the season and
participation during the
initiation awareness
c a m p a i g n s ,” said Nqatha.

Outside play keeps
children healthier
KATE CURRIN
We have been experiencing
some beautiful warm weather
and the summer holidays will
soon be here, bringing us
perfect opportunities to get
outside as a family and
encourage our children to
explore nature.
So why should we bother
making an effort to get outside?
Playing outside and in natural
settings has a lot of benefits,
such as:
● Outside, we get an
opportunity to get some fresh air
into our lungs.
● From a sensory point of view,
there will also be many different
smells to experience in the
outdoors which we don’t
usually find in inside settings
such as the scents of different
flowers, the smell of mud and
forest floors, the smell of
seaweed fresh out of a rock
pool.
● Valuable Vitamin D from the
sunshine.
● Exposure to various microbes
and bacteria through outside
play in natural settings.
● The opportunity to explore
new environments and the
realisation that the world is
bigger than just the walls of your
home.
● When using natural objects
to play outside (like leaves,
stones, sticks and mud) there is
opportunity for creative play
with open-ended toys.
● Opportunities for problem
solving.
● Exploring and challenging
physical and mental limitations.
● Opportunities for sensory
play (playing in mud, swinging,
exploring rock pools,
swimming, jumping,
somersaulting, the feeling of
different tree barks when
climbing trees etc.)
● Leadership and selfconfidence
opportunities, like
allowing the child to lead the
way on a safe trail
● Bonding and strengthening
relationships as a family by
spending time together and
filling up the family memory
and experience bank.
I think the question is often
though how do we make space
in our lives for outside play and
e x p l o ra t i o n ?
If you have a safe yard space
where children can play
outside, there are a few ways
you can encourage outside play.
You don’t need fancy
equipment or giant jungle gyms
– nature has many of the tools
we need already and we can
also up-cycle and re-purpose
items around the house.
Here are some ideas that you
can consider:
● Creating an area for mud and
sand play – all you really need is
an open patch of soil and some
water to create the mud, small
spades (or even old spoons) for
digging, buckets or empty
yoghurt containers, stones,
small toys if you like (like cars,
dinosaurs, figurines) etc. and of
course, the willingness to allow
everyone to get really dirty!
● Starting a family vegetable
patch or container garden
where children can be given
their own areas to plant in and
nurture. Here, as parents, I think
its important to be cognisant of
the fact that, while we can guide
and teach the principles of
doing this, we shouldn’t be
over-controlling or too
prescriptive in how each person
works in and manages their
areas – they will learn valuable
lessons and responsibilities as
well as reap the rewards and

fulfilment that growing a food
garden can bring which will be
amplified if they are allowed
some freedom in how to do this.
● Playing games like soccer,
cricket, catches, hide-and-seek
together outside
● Treasure hunts – these could
also be nature themed.
If you don’t have an outside
area, East London also has some
wonderful publicly accessible
outdoor areas that are either free
or cost minimal entrance fees. I
have listed a few ideas for you:
● Bohs Bike Park
● Tea in the Trees
● James Pearce Park
● Floradale Bike Track
● The Nahoon Estuary
● B e a ch e s

Plans to redevelop township
SIVENATHI GOSA
Anumber of business
people from around
Buffalo City Metro
gathered at the Duncan Village
Development Indaba on Friday
to discuss the redevelopment of
the township, the oldest in the
metro.
The indaba’s Mandla
Gxanyana said the purpose of
the event was to get the views of
people who had run businesses
and those who were still
operating in the area.
“We want to use this
platform as the first step towards
calling an indaba for the
township economy that will
deal with various issues,”
Gxanyana said.
Indaba discusses ways to transform Duncan Village’s economy
The insightful indaba was
held at the Gompo library,
where prominent Duncan
Village business owners
discussed new ways of
transforming the economy in the
t ow n s h i p .
“In our interaction with
government institutions we
came to realise the best vehicle
to drive a programme of this
nature is an NPO,” G x a nya n a
said:
He said they sold the idea to
the ward councillors, as they
wanted to see Duncan Village
transformed into a world-class
suburb.
SEDA (Small Enterprise
Development Agency)
provincial manager Siphiwo
Soga pledged to support and
adopt the project initiated at the
indaba.
“We look into the SMMEs
that are part of the community
project that SEDA is working on.
“Naturally there will be old
SMMEs trading in the township.
“There are a lot of
opportunities in the township
that can progress and be
s u c c e s s f u l ,” he said.
Eastern Cape Cogta MEC
Xolile Nqatha was the keynote
speaker at the event.
“This development
contextualises our view
regarding the transformation of
townships in economic suburbs
that sustain livelihoods and
demonstrate a nonracial city.
“This vision begins with
taking small progressive steps
with fixed and clean streets and
having recreational facilities for
our children,” Nqatha said.
In 2001, Duncan Village
was identified as the provincial
node of the Urban Renewal
Programme, and the
government is collaborating to
implement the Buffalo City
Spatial Development
Framework, as well as the built
environment performance plan
which identified the township as
one of the priority urban
renewal nodes.
Nqatha listed the initiatives
implemented since democracy
that have been successful.
“The access roads have been
improved, electrical upgrades
have been done, and foot
bridges over the Ziphunzana
were constructed.
“Housing development to
redress informality within the
township cannot be
overemphasised and also, the
Gompo Hall and Post Office
upgrade, recreational grounds
for children’s entertainment and
early childhood centres, and
employment through the
community works programme.”
He said his department was
collaborating with sectors to
develop entrepreneurship.
“In this regard my
department is partnering with
First National Bank in
implementing a FNB SMME
incubator programme, while the
department of economic affairs,
environment & tourism is
implementing township
economy revitalisation to grow
township business, specifically
sectors such as motor vehicle
r e p a i r s ,” Nqatha said.
“We will seek other potential
partners to collaborate and
embark on progressive
programmes that will support
sustainability of township
b u s i n e s s e s .” - DispatchLIVE

DIGITAL ERA: Households with a combined income of less than R3,500
a month will qualify for a fully subsidised set-top box Picture: PIXABAY
STAFF REPORTER
Statistics show that the Eastern
Cape has applied for the most
g ove r n m e n t - s u b s i d i s e d
television decoders, with 10,261
houses registering.
Post Office spokesperson Johan
Kruger said households that applied
should receive their decoder before
March 31, when the analogue
television transmission will be
switched off in all provinces.
All television transmissions will
be digital and television sets will
need a decoder to work. In total,
more than 60,000 households had
applied up to October.
In Northwest 8,452 households
registered, KwaZulu-Natal saw
7,783, the Western Cape 7,561,
Gauteng 6,994, Limpopo 6,867 and
Mpumalanga 6,375.
The switch to digital television
transmissions is almost complete in
the Free State, where 3,309
households registered, and in the
Northern Cape, where the
conversion is practically complete,
1,300 households registered.
“Qualifying households are able
to apply at a nearby post office.
“You will need your identity
document, proof of address and
evidence that you earn R3,500 per
month or less,” said Kruger. -

Church assists
Parkside childhood
cancer non-profit
MATTHEW FIELD
Members of the Dunn Asher
Congregational Church Sunday
school recently hosted a Mad Hat
Day to raise funds for Parkside-based
NPO Childhood Cancer Foundation
Liver Little.
Coco — which is not linked to
Choc (Childhood Cancer Foundation
SA) — was started by Parkside
resident Laken Roberts in 2019 after
her baby daughter was diagnosed
with liver cancer and tragically
passed away before the age of one.
“Having Khloe [daughter]
diagnosed with cancer at six months
old and losing her battle a month
before her first birthday is one of the
saddest stories I ever had to tell,”
Roberts said.
“The day she was diagnosed the
only visible symptom that alarmed
us was a swollen tummy and her
cries from the pain.
“Her father and I had the longest
hospital stays and longest nights
p ray i n g .
“Nothing was the same for us
besides that beautiful smile Khloe
always had on her face.
“She was the bravest warrior and
as much as this was a traumatic
experience for us to go through as a
family, her calm, brave smile is one
that we can never forget.
“My daughter is our hero because
she was a fighter till the very end.”
Coco operates from Roberts’
Parkside home and despite financial
difficulties, continues to support
causes in the local community.
Roberts oversaw the donation of
200 gold ribbons, the international
symbol for childhood and adolescent
c a n c e r.
Th e y ’ve managed to raise R2,000
in support of Baby Mirah, a Cape
Town infant who was recently
diagnosed with cancer, and a raffle is
also being organised to raise money
for the Frere Hospital oncology unit.
Roberts extended her thanks to
the Enkosi Trust for its continued
support and asked anyone wanting
to make a donation to contact her on
073-898-3359 or 072-753-1794.

MAHLATSE MPHAHLELE
Former Proteas captain Shaun Pollock has been
inducted into the prestigious ICC Cricket Hall of
Fa m e .
The International Cricket Council (ICC)
confirmed on Saturday that Pollock, Sri Lankan
legend Mahela Jayawardene and former England
wo m e n ’s batting great Janette Brittin are the
newest inductees into the Hall of Fame.
Pollock, and Brittin will be formally inducted
by fellow ICC Hall of Famer Sir Clive Lloyd
before the start of T20 World Cup between New
Zealand and Australia on Sunday at the Dubai
International Stadium.
The Cricket Hall of Fame recognises the
achievements of legends of the game from
c r i ck e t ’s long and illustrious history and 106
players have been inducted since its launch in
2009.
Pollock, and Brittin played in 284 Tests, 814
ODIs and 67 T20s between them.
Pollock was one of the finest bowling allrounders
the game has seen and was the first
player to achieve the 3,000-run and 300-wicket
doubles in both Test and ODI cricket.
Brittin was a mainstay of the England Test
team for 19 years and helped pave the way for
wo m e n ’s cricket between 1979 and 1998.
Jayawardene retired as one of Sri Lanka’s
greatest players and was a key member of the
team that won the T20 World Cup in 2014 and
reached four other major ICC finals.
“The ICC Cricket Hall of Fame is our way of
honouring and celebrating the greats of our
g a m e ,” said ICC acting CEO Geoff Allardice.
“Only the very best players are recognised for
their contribution to cricket in this way. I
congratulate Mahela and Shaun on their
induction. It is a wonderful way to
commemorate Janette’s life and career.”
Reacting to the news, Pollock said: “I would
like to thank the ICC for this recognition of my
career. It’s an amazing honour to be included in
the Hall of Fame alongside the very illustrious
company that has already been inducted.
“It’s a real cherry on the top or maybe even a
book end of what has been a thoroughly
enjoyable cricketing experience and I’d like to
thank my teammates who played such a huge
part along the journey.”
Jayawardene said: “I am thrilled to have been
inducted into the ICC Hall of Fame. It’s a very
special honour to follow in the footsteps of
legends ‘Sanga’ [Kumar Sangakkara] and
‘M u ra l i ’ [Muttiah Muralitharan] from Sri Lanka
and so many other great cricketers of the past.”

SA ladies U21 star
needs funding
assistance to take
part in event
MATTHEW FIELD
Former Clarendon pupil Bianca Woods is
asking for help in raising funds to attend the
upcoming Junior World Cup in
Potchefstroom as part of the SA Ladies U21
hockey team.
Woods has made a name for herself as a rising
star in hockey though, ironically, she said she
originally did not care much for the sport.
“I never initially enjoyed playing hockey, I was
more interested in playing soccer,” said Woods.
“When I was about 10, I fell in love with the
sport and have been playing ever since.”
To take part in the upcoming World Cup,
Woods said she needed to raise R31,500.
“The tournament is from December 5 to 16
and we meet as a team on November 27 so within
the next few weeks would be good [to meet the
target].
“Even if it’s during the tournament, if I don/t
make the full amount I can still pay it off during the
tournament or afterwards but I’d like to get it
b e f o r e .”
She’s already making good progress, with
Dean Fanoe from Designer Lighting pledging
R10,000 towards her journey.
Donations can be made to either Woods’
personal account or to the SA Hockey Association
(SAHA) account.
● To donate directly to Woods, use the following
details:
Bank: Capitec
Branch code: 470010
