Unsafe classrooms closed
Louis Rex pupils
are unable to
attend school daily
ZINTLE BOBELO and
LUVUYO MJEKULA
Asection of derelict Louis Rex
Primary School in New Rest has
been declared unsafe and has
since been closed off, leaving a limited
number of classrooms for learning.
The dangerous section of classrooms
were closed after the school governing
body (SGB) engaged with the
department of education, demanding a
new school be built for pupils.
The 82-year-old school, in a derelict
state, has reportedly been on the
department’s priority list since 2015.
“Teaching and learning are the core
business and we have decided to follow
the rotational system due to the fact that
some classrooms are hazardous and
unsafe to use,” reads a letter issued by
the school on Friday.
Chaotic scenes played out last week
when pupils chanted “We want a new
s ch o o l ” as they gathered in front of
locked gate at the premises.
Concerned parents present who were
worried about pupils’ safety, threatened
to keep their children at home until the
matter was resolved.
Speaking to The Rep this week,
principal Bevan Christoffels said they
were waiting for a letter from the
department of education that would
detail how far processes were in terms of
getting temporary structures to
accommodate the pupils.
Christoffels indicated that staff
members had returned for duty and were
expecting some pupils to return to
school on Thursday this week.
“In the meantime, the SGB had
decided that we will open [on Thursday]
but we will do the rotation system
because one section of the school is
closed and we cannot use that, so we do
not have enough classrooms.
“We have issued parents with a letter
to inform them that on Monday,
Wednesday and Friday, a certain group
will be coming, as well as Tuesday and
Th u r s d ay,” the letter stated.
“On Wednesday May 11, the
department of education needs to
respond in writing as to when the
temporal structures will be erected.”
Reports of several pupils who had
sustained injuries as a result of the
hazardous building had been made
k n ow n .
On Thursdays, Grades R, 2, 4 and 5
are to attend school, and Grade 1 and 3
will attend on a daily basis as
accommodation has been made for
them. Fridays will be for Grades 6 and 7.
It was indicated that the arrangements
stipulated would depend on a decision
by the department.
“We will do the rotation while we are
waiting for the structures just so we can
get teaching and learning going.
“We are also thinking of
implementing a platooning system, but
we have not decided on that yet,” said
Christoffels.
SGB chairperson Myron Bosch said a
response from the department was
expected on Wednesday, but nothing
had been received as yet.
Bosch said parents were invited to
attend an urgent meeting on Thursday to
discuss a plan of action.
“This meeting will be to give
feedback to parents regarding the
response from the department.”
On Friday last week, DA education
portfolio committee member in the
provincial legislature, Yusuf Cassim,
visited the school and held a short
meeting with the principal and SGB
r e p r e s e n t a t ive s .
“We ’ve been walking this road with
the school for a number of years.

“We were here in 2020 and have
been asking questions to the MEC since
long before that on when the department
will prioritise the infrastructure and the
replacement school for Louis Rex.
“This is not a new issue for us.
“And it is important that as members
of the legislature in the portfolio
committee of education, we are able to
hold the department accountable to any
commitments made.
“If they have made a commitment
around prefabs, for example, we have to
hold them accountable in the legislature
so that the school does not get empty
p r o m i s e s .”
He said he would continue to hold
the department accountable.
He was concerned that learning and
teaching was not taking place, but said
there were similar protests in other parts
of the province in which parents forced
schools to close.
Cassim said this was because there
was no accountability from the
department of education.
Earlier, parents had accused the
principal of holding a meeting with DA
leaders behind closed doors when he
had assured them the matter would not
be politicised.
Cassim said: “No issue of a school
should be politicised. As you can see, I
am not wearing any branding, I am not
here as a member of the DA, but as a
member of the legislature.”
Education department provincial
spokesperson, Malibongwe Mtima,
confirmed in a response to queries
previously sent by The Rep that the
school was still on the priority list “wh i ch
forms part of the department’s statutory
plans. The department has budgeted for
the school for the year 2023/24.”
Appreciation for
quality patient care
REP REPORTER
Celebrating its nurses with the
theme “Nursing Now: A Voice to
Lead”, Life Healthcare hospitals
in the Border-Kei region proudly
acknowledged their nurses on
International Nurses’ Day on May
12, the Group said.
“We are extremely proud of
the sacrifices our nurses make
each day to tend to our patients.
They have earned the respect of
an entire country for their valiant
efforts during the pandemic,” said
Merle Victor, chief nurse officer at
Life Healthcare.
Victor said: “Our nurses are
tired. The waves that they
experienced since 2020 have
taken a toll on them. But despite
that, they still show up, they come
to work, and they take care of our
patients. So just with them doing
that there is hope.”
The Life Healthcare Group
employs as many as 10,000
nurses across the country and

they deliver. “Nurses are
remarkable in their ability to care,
show compassion, provide
friendship and encouragement
during the most trying of times.
“I am privileged to work with
a great team of dedicated nurses
and I wish them all a wonderful

Ikora gives WSU Friday cutoff
ABONGILE
S O L U N D WA N A
The Independent Komani
Residents Association
(Ikora) says Walter Sisulu
University has until today
(Friday) to respond to their
memorandum of demands to
stop rationalisation from taking
place in Komani.
Failure will take them to the
doorstep of minister of higher
education, Blade Nzimande,
they say.
On Monday, Ikora, joined by
students, protested at WSU in
Grey Street after the university
failed to respond to their
memorandum of
demands which they had
handed over during a peaceful
march on March 8.
The Rep reported, “Group
protest over fears WSU will
close door,” (March 11), that
WSU had come under fire over
its plan to rationalise courses
Association says it will approach minister over rationalisation plan

Street on Monday over the university’s failure to respond to a

that community members
feared would affect Ko m a n i ’s
e c o n o my.
The community was
also not happy that WSU
took the decision without
consulting them.
During the protest on
Monday, Ikora treasurer, Tina
Nkepu, said they would not
implement a total shutdown as
students needed to continue
with their studies.
“We demand responses to
the petition we submitted in
March. We had given them
seven days,” Nkepu said.
“They came back asking for
an extension of 24 hours which
the students’ r e p r e s e n t a t ive
council agreed to.”
Nkepu said WSU’s
management contacted him to
engage over the phone about
the matter.
“I declined and requested
them to respond in writing as
we had given them our email
addresses.
“After the 24-hour lapse, I
wrote an email to the vicechancellor,
Prof Rushiella
Songca, and the deputy vicechancellor,
Dr Prince Jaca, for
their institutional support to
respond.
“Instead, the vice-chancellor
gave us a YouTube address in
which she said WSU was
consolidating from 12 faculties
to six and that they were now
adding one more, making
s e ve n .”
Nkepu said it was clear the
university was “looking for lowhanging
fruit”, and the
rationalisation was not genuine.
The SRC then called for a
shutdown in Butterworth and
East London campuses, which
started two weeks ago.
“The shutdown propelled
their council chairperson,
advocate Thembeka
Ngcukayitobi, to issue a
statement stating that the
rationalisation programme had
been put on hold.
“It is not what we were
expecting.
“We expected the
programme of rationalisation to
be called off because of its
inhumane nature.
“It will lead to job losses and
it will strip people of their
livelihoods on many platforms.”
Nkepu added that in Chris
Hani District Municipality’s
stakeholders’ engagement,
officials had told them
Nzimande would attend the
Freedom Day memorial lecture,
but justice minister Ronald
Lamola had attended instead.
In the recent engagement,
Nkepu said Ikora did not agree
with the municipality, because
they wanted the faculty of
education to return.
“We said we wanted the
campus to remain intact.
“Some wanted the faculties
of agriculture and logistics
introduced.
“We want the management
sciences faculty we already had
because we have municipalities
that recruit WSU graduates,”
Nkepu said.

It will cost the Enoch Mgijima
Local Municipality R25m to
repair the western substation
which burned down last Friday,
leaving a number of areas in the
dark.
Municipal manager
Nokuthula Zonda confirmed the
figure at a meeting with
community members in Madeira
Park on Wednesday.
The fire affected the
Komani CBD, Madeira Park,
Kings Park, Amberdale,
Westbourne, New Rest, a part of
Bhede, the army base and
Factory Road areas.
Parts of the CBD, Madeira,
Kings Park, Amberdale and
Westbourne were still without
power at the time of print.
Sandringham was restored on
Wednesday evening, along with
the army base, Factory Road and
New Rest areas and parts of
Komani CBD. The other parts of
the CBD had regained power on
Tuesday evening.
EMLM spokesperson
Lonwabo Kowa told The Rep:
“Most areas have been restored.
The rest of the areas without
power which were affected by
the western substation will be
redirected to alternative power
stations such as Ebden Street.”
The Independents’ Ken Clark
was concerned about the lack of
fencing and security at the
western power station.
On Monday, the New Rest
community protested over
electricity outages. New Rest
residents embarked on a protest
rampage until Wednesday
evening after being without
electricity for seven days, after
the western power station fire.
On Wednesday, during the
protest action, the police had to
work hard to remove burning
tyres and rubble which residents
used to barricade roads.
During the process of
clearing the roads, residents
kept rekindling the fire.
Andile Ganca, the ward
councillor, pleaded with
residents to stop damaging the
tarred roads.

Workshop aim
to equip local
principals first
‘It takes leadership for schools to turn corner’
ZINTLE BOBELO
Atotal of 90 principals in
the Chris Hani West, East
and Joe Gqabi districts
who were appointed between
2020/21 were part of a threeday
induction programme held
at the Maria Louw High School
hall this week.
The workshop was aimed at
preparing and welcoming the
new appointees, and ensuring
that their duties were clearly
understood.
The induction programme
was meant to be held earlier but
was delayed due to the Covid-
19 pandemic.
Head of the Queenstown
teacher development centre and
Albertina Nontsikelelo Sisulu
Science Centre, Phumzile
Mashalaba, said the aim was to
empower and capacitate the
new principals to have well-run,
efficient institutions.
“The intention of this training
is to ensure that we have
principals who understand the
policy prescripts and
frameworks guiding and
governing their schools so that
at the end of the day we can
have world-class schools that
are unwavering in producing
quality results,” Mashalaba said.
“We hope that through this
training there will be a
turnaround of some sort in
schools to enhance academic
results and overall school
s t a n d a r d s .”
Follow-up training sessions
would be held to ensure
continuous professional
development, added
Mashalaba.
Representative from the
national department of basic
education, Sibusiso Ndebele,
who gave a presentation, said
for schools to become effective,
effective leadership was
required.
“We strongly believe that it
takes leadership for schools to
turn the corner,” Ndebele said.
“We were taking the
principals through the vision of
the department so they
understand the expectations
and the type of leadership the
country wants.
“We have noticed that
before people would come into
the portfolio not understanding
the roles and responsibilities.
“We need to be able to
ensure that there is
accountability throughout the
entire system.
“The community is looking
at how we are leading these
institutions.
“We believe that every child
is a national asset.
“We need to ensure we do
not have liabilities but assets,
pupils who are empowered,
who are able to dream and
ensure that those dreams and
aspirations are met.”
Strong leadership was the
key in all these aspects, said
Ndebele.
“In terms of legislation, we
WELCOME SESSION: Newly-appointed principals in the Chris Hani West, East and Joe Gqabi
districts at an induction workshop hosted by the education department at Maria Louw High
School Picture: ZINTLE BOBELO
want principals to lead,
knowing the law and applying
policy so that we can lead
institutions that everyone can be
proud of.”
Charles Bunyonyo, principal
at Mazibuko Senior Secondary
School, said not only was he a
leader of a school but a leader of
the community as a whole.
“Our feeder zone at
Mazibuko are young children
who come from disadvantaged
backgrounds, children who are
raised by their grandmothers.
“Young children tend to take
gap years and as a leader I want
to encourage pupils to further
their studies.
“It is our responsibility to
teach them throughout the year
and cater for their future plans
as well.”
Nomthandazo Yawa,
Bolotwa Primary School
principal, said: “I hope this
session will equip me to
manage and lead my school,
especially around curriculumrelated
matters.”
Tholang Khoaelane,
principal of Thaba Lesoba Junior
Secondary School in Sterkspruit,
added: “Given the first few
presentations, I had already
noticed that what was important
was for us managers to speak
the actual language of the
department, which is all
about policies that can
benefit the child who is a
national asset.
“This is so important to me
because at school, you have to
influence your team so that
when they go to classes they are
purposeful and know exactly
what is expected of them.”
Iinkumba zineemvakalelo nazo!

“NDANELE!” wambombozela watsho uSlimy.
“Nam ngokunjalo,” wavumelana naye
uSpeedy, umhlobo wakhe osenyongweni.
“Kutheni thina zinkumba singathandwa
ngakumbi zezinye izinambuzane zasesitiyeni?”
“Ndikruquke kwade kwathi pheza koku
kuphatheka kakubi,” waqhubeka watsho uSlimy.
“Ewe, yintoni le ingalunganga ngathi?”

“Ngumbono omhle kakhulu lowo,” wavuma uSpeedy. “Siza kuzixelela ukuba kufuneka
zisithande nathi.”
Ngosuku olulandelayo, uSpeedy noSlimy nazo zonke ezinye iinkumba zahlangana phantsi
komthi onameva ukuzokuncokola nezinye izinambuzane zasesitiyeni.
“Thina zinkumba sifuna ukuboniswa intlonipho,” watsho uSpeedy. “Kwakhona sifuna nonke
nisithande nathi.”
“SOZE!” wakhwaza uBhabhathane. “Iinkumba ziyonyanyeka.”
“EWE!” wavumelana naye uNyosi. “Iinkumba mazimke.”
“Niyinkathazo,” wongeza uMbungu.
“Kodwa sakha sona ntoni?” wabuza uSlimy.
“INTONI! Jonga nje lo mgruzuko usemlenzeni wam,” waqalisa uNtethe. “Niyazi ukuba
ndawufumana njani? Kwiinkumba! Nina zinkumba nidyobha yonke le ndawo ngodaka lwenu
nisenze sityibilike size sizonzakalise. Niyazi ukuba laa nto ityibilikisa njani?”
“Sibancinane thina, siyaxinga kudaka lwenu,” wongeza uKumkanikazi uMbovane.
“Hayibo!” zatsho iinkumba zimangalisekile. “Besingazi.”
“Yaye akukuphela koko,” watsho uMbungu. “Niyayazi ingxinano eniyenzayo endleleni? Nina
zinkumba niyacoooootha.”
“Yaye akuphelelanga futhi koko,” wongeza uBhabhathane. “Ninganceda nipheze ukutya zonke

Iinkumba zeva kakubi. Zazingazi ukuba zazisenza iingxaki ezininzi kangako.
Iinkumba ezincinane zaziva kabuhlungu kangangokuba zaqalisa ukulila.
“Inokuba ingakhona into elungileyo ngeenkumba?” wafana watsho uSlimy ngelicengayo.
Ezinye izinambuzane zazithe cwaka. Zacinga, zacinga ngento enokuba ilungile ngeenkumba.

“Kulungile, singazami nje?” zavuma ezinye. Ngoko ke, iinkumba zazama ukutya ukhula kuphela

“Owu ngekhe, ayizukusebenza le nto. Ukhula luvakala LULUBI” watsho uSpeedy emva
kwexeshana.
Iinkumba zaziva zilusizi kakhulu. Ezinye zaseziqalisile ukupakisha amakhaya azo ukuze
zihambe.
“Yheyi, ndinecebo,” wagigitheka uSimphiwe, eyona nkumba incinane. “Ndifuna nonke nidibane

“Uyagula? Kwakusithatha imini yonke ukunyuka siye apho,” watsho uSlimy.
“Ndithembeni,” watsho uSimphiwe.
Zadlula iintsuku ezimbini zada ekugqibeleni iinkumba zaya kufikelela phezulu esidulini. Ezinye
izinambuzane zaqokelelana enyeleni yesiduli ukuyobona ukuba iinkumba zazize nantoni na.
“Ngoku ke, cebo lini eli lihle ninalo?” zafuna ukwazi.
“Eeeee … mm …” watsho uSimphiwe.
“Yheeeee?” zatsho ezinye izinambuzane.
“Ngokuqinisekileyo nakusiyeka sihlale xa nibona ukuba senze ntoni,” wabhengeza uSimphiwe.
Ezinye izinambuzane zema ngxi, amehlo azo ethe ntsho kuSimphiwe.

Kwabakho ukuthi nqumama ixeshana njengoko izinambuzane zonke zazicinga ngale mbono.
“KWAKUHLE KE!” bavumelana. “Masiwulinge.”
Baze benjenjalo. Izinambuzane zonke zabolekisana ukutshibiliza ukuhla kuloo mtyibilizi.
Yayilulonwabo olungathethekiyo. Zonke zawuthanda umtyibilizi kwaza

ANC ward 9 members upset over exclusion
ABONGILE SOLUNDWANA
The ANC Chris Hani region
has congratulated the new
provincial leadership after
the party’s ninth elective
conference was held at the ICC
in East London last weekend.
Regional secretary Lusanda
Sizani appealed to all ANC
members, including those who
took part in the conference, to
follow the new leadership and
resolve factional battles among
lobby groups that formed part of
the conference.
Sizani said he was happy
with the outcome at the
conference, which saw Oscar
Mabuyane, who Chris Hani
regional branches had wanted,
re-elected as the chairperson.

includes Mabuyane, deputy
chairperson Mlungisi Mvoko,

deputy secretary Helen Sauls-

the treasurer.
Meanwhile, regional ANC
members from Chris Hani,
Lindiwe Gunuza, Yanga Zicina,
and Siyabulela Zangqa, were
nominated as additional PEC
members.
“We can see the
leadership’s strides to unite the
organisation, which is part of
the renewal programme. They
will assist us in making sure the
ANC is renewed.”
He urged members whose
slate did not succeed to accept
defeat and the democratic
outcome.

Hall destroyed by
fire during 2018
protest being rebuilt
ZINTLE BOBELO
The reconstruction of a
community hall in Unathi
Mkhefa, Ezibeleni, which was
reportedly burned down by an
angry group of residents amid a
service delivery protest in 2018
is currently under way.
Enoch Mgijima Local
Municipality (EMLM)
spokesperson, Lonwabo Kowa,
said the rebuilding of the hall in
ward 4, at a cost of R782,000,
would take three months.
The scope of work will entail
rebuilding damaged walls,
repairs to the roof and ceiling,
tiling, painting, replacing
damaged plumbing and the
sewerage system, as well as
damaged doors and windows.
The Rep previously reported
that the fire occurred after
protesters had called for urgent
intervention by the provincial
government in the affairs of the
embattled EMLM.
The protesters had
barricaded roads with burning
tyres. “After the hall was
damaged, the community
members had to use alternative
venues like churches for their
events and on many occasions
had to pay much more than they
would have paid for a
community hall.
“Public participation was
also affected as community
meetings were held in smaller
venues which were not ideal,”
stated Kowa.
Ward 4 councillor
Mzikabawo Ngesi said: “Th e
period when there was no hall
was devastating for
communities.
“Some even requested to use
the hall while in a damaged
state, which was not authorised.
“We need community
members to protect this facility
as it is only built for their
benefit.
“Funds used in this
rebuilding project should have
been used for something else in
this ward as we are facing a

LEN’S NEWS
On a rainy Saturday afternoon, a
journey of discovery and
learning was embarked on.
It started as a warm and
chatty drive with Uncle Reg
Morgan and Oom Charles
Richter from the Queenstown
Fly Fishing Club.
The journey to Dordrecht
and Indwe then turned from dry
and sunny into muddy shoes, no
cell signal and chattering teeth.
Here is the story.
The group left Queenstown

from ward 9 were upset about
not being allowed to take part in
the conference.
Branch deputy chairperson
and conference delegate,
Michael Jaska, said they had
experienced problems with
accreditation and were
disqualified due to “a
manipulation process” that had
affected their branch
membership.
This, he said, came as a
surprise, as they had received
verification that they were in
good standing.
Jaska said: “Our branch was
one of the victims of
manipulation which had
members from another branch
added to the master list.
“We managed to trace the
branch members who were
from AB Xuma in ward 9 in
surrounding Dordrecht.
A 'tongue in cheek'
comment was made: “Did you
tell your mom that you would
come home late and soaking
wet?” But it was just a warning
of the adventurous day and
night to come.
They drove along gravel
roads with beautiful scenery to
their first stop at Uncle George’s
place.
A dam with a beautiful stone
cottage. There they started the
re-stocking. The brown and
rainbow trout were taken in
buckets to the edge of the dam
and tipped in so that they could
live in their new home.
N g c o b o .” Subsequent to that, he
said they had followed all the
correct processes of going
through the provincial dispute
committee to clear themselves
of the manipulation.
“We thought the issue had
been attended to by Nomvula
Nokonyane [in the national
dispute committee].
“The verification from the
national audit outcome stated
that we were in good standing.
“This is why as the two
delegates of the branch we were

The team could not stop
there as they had te farm Pine
Grove up next.
The spectacular sun setting
among the clouds gave them a
wonderful backdrop to work in
and electric storms were lighting
up the evening sky along the
Stormberg.
As night drew near, they had
Snowden to finish off with, but
mud from the pouring rain
made the road quite a challenge
to navigate.

as they had a bit of a hill to
climb, the bakkie battled its way

how they were allowed to
participate in the regional
conference if they apparently
did not qualify.
He was also displeased
about only being informed at
the time of registering for the
conference.
They were told the branch
did not meet the required
numbers, which was news to
them.
He acknowledged that the
regional executive had done
everything in their power to
assist them, but they did not
succeed.

had to call for help.

by Uncle Reg, and soon the

What to
do when
i n t e re s t
rates keep
climbing
REP REPORTER
The pendulum has swung after a
season of record-low interest
rates, moving the country into a
cycle of interest rate hikes.
Set to meet again in May, the
MPC may choose to hike
interest rates further.
At the previous MPC
meeting, two members
preferred a 50 basis point rise in
the repo rate while three were in
favour of the 25 basis point
increase.
Adrian Goslett, regional
director and CEO of RE/MAX of
Southern Africa, recommends
homeowners check what their
monthly repayments would be if
interest rates were to rise by 50
basis points.
“There are various online
calculators that can help
homeowners work out the
possible repayments on a home
loan.
“BetterBond, for example,
has a repayment calculator that
can help homeowners work out
what the repayments will be
depending on the size of their
home loan and their given
interest rate,” Goslett explains.
Homeowners can then
examine their budgets to try find
the necessary funds to afford the
higher repayment amount if
interest rates do increase.
“Being well-prepared in this
regard can mean the difference
between being financially
secure or falling hopelessly
behind on repayments,” s ay s
Goslett.
In addition, Goslett warns
that unless the accompanying
interest rate charges are fixed,
the repayments on all other
debts will also increase should
interest rates climb at the next
MPC meeting.
“The disposable income for
those who carry other forms of
debt will shrink with every
interest rate hike.
“My advice, especially for
those who are paying off a home
loan, is to funnel any extra cash
towards those other debt
repayments ahead of the
coming announcement.”
Goslett says when deciding
which debts to settle first, it is
advisable to go for the debt with
the highest accompanying
interest rate charge.
“Things such as a car loan or
personal loan will often carry far
higher interest rate charges than
a home loan, so it might make
sense to try pay off these debts
as soon as possible,” he says.
However, everyone’s
situation is unique.
Homeowners who would
like advice specific to their
circumstances are encouraged
to speak to a professional
financial advisor.
Those who are unable to
keep up with the repayments on
their home loan should also
speak to a real estate
professional to find out what
other options are available to
them.
“Moving to a smaller, more
affordable home might relieve
the financial pressure and create
a much less stressful home
e nv i r o n m e n t ,” Goslett says.

Young filmmaker cuts award
Tsomo producer’s dream to nurture local talent
ZINTLE BOBELO
Among hundreds of
dignitaries at the annual
Eastern Cape Arts and
Culture awards ceremony in
East London last week, young
filmmaker Lunga Ngcabashe
from Tsomo was honoured with
an independent producer award
in the category of fiction film.
Ngcabashe, the man behind
a musical drama series called
The Singing Competition, wh i ch
was aired on DStv, is also a
producer of a 13-part drama
series titled Kwahlwa Kwasa,
which premiered early this year.
Through the Transkei Youth
Foundation, award-winning
Ngcabashe and ambitious
young graduates formed a
foundation to empower, equip
and educate the youth of Tsomo
and small neighbouring
villages.
“For people who do not care
to fund or contribute to the
development of young people
and recognise their work, I have
been awarded,” he said.
“Everything comes together
when you trust in the Lord.
“When I was announced the
winner, I initially thought it was
a prank,” he laughed.
“But this means that I have
done something and the
province recognises that.
“There is still a lot of work to
be done. This is just a start.
“One needs to stand up for
what one believes in and get
things done even without
money. Money will meet you
along the way,” he said.
Working with young people
in his area, Ngcabashe shared
words of acknowledgement to
his cast and everyone involved
in the project.
“This award would not have
been possible without the
contribution from young people
involved in this project.
“They would wake up as
early as 4am to work while
others were writing their matric
examinations. All the Grade 12s
passed their finals.”
When Ngcabashe took to
the stage at the awards
ceremony at the East London
Golf Club, he reiterated the
plight of upcoming young
creatives who are often rejected
by funding institutions.
Upon receiving his award,
Ngcabashe publicly demanded
a private and urgent meeting
with Eastern Cape’s Arts and
Culture MEC Fezeka
Nkomonye, who was part of the
c r ow d .
“MEC, I want an
appointment with you, can I see
yo u ? ” asked Ngcabashe, putting
Nkomonye on the spot.
The unemployed graduate
said he had to grab the
opportunity, and said nothing
would stop him from making it
in the television industry.
He said the nod from the
MEC was everything he had
prayed for. We are disregarded
as artists. As filmmakers we
apply for these things and we
spend hundreds of rands,
making copies, travelling from
pillar to post, only to be
rejected.
“Everything is dependent on
me, I have to make sure that
these children are fed from
breakfast to lunch. I am not
working, but I make it happen.
Talking to the MEC I wanted to
show her we exist and I have
great plans for the province.”
When asked about his future
endeavours, he said he wanted
to work with people like
renowned TV director Zuko
Nodada.
Ngcabashe said his primary
purpose and calling in life to
nurture talent and produce
“greatness from the soil of the
great province of legends”.
“The time for people to
relocate for greener pastures
and leave the dusty home of
legends is close to an end, artists
of this great province will gather
and blow the world away,” said
Ngcabashe.

Best fashion designer award
goes to Luyolo ‘Bau’ Dlikilili
ZINTLE BOBELO
Renowned local fashion
designer Luyolo ‘Bau’ Dlikilili,
who is best known for his
compelling streetwear, scooped
his second accolade as the best
designer in the province at the
annual Eastern Cape Arts and
Culture award ceremony held at
the East London Golf Club last
week.
The multi-award-winning
fashion and shoe designer and
founder of Bau Instyle, has been
in the industry for 10 years and
has numerous honours under
his belt.
He received his first best
designer award from the
department in 2018.
Apart from designing and
tailoring clothes, Dlikilili is an
accredited formal trainer,
facilitator, moderator and
a s s e s s o r.
He is counted among the
judges panel of the Walter
Sisulu University third year
students fashion show.
“It is a great feeling for
anyone, seeing that whatever
you are doing is being
recognised. It means that I am
not just working under water
like a submarine,” he said.
Soon, Dlikilili will be
showcasing his work at the
Lesotho International Fashion
Show and facilitating emerging
designers.
He has also been invited to
the Seychelles Fashion Week in
September, for which he has
appealed to the public to assist
with travelling costs.
“I focus more on menswear,
which is very difficult to do.
“Tailoring menswear is hell
and I am sure designers would
agree with me on that.”
Not following trends and
keeping a clear head for new
and fresh ideas were some of
the traits that he wanted aspiring
designers to keep in mind.
Some of the challenges, he
said, were working with
departments that did not see the
vision of fashion.
“When you talk to
departments that are supposed
to assist, they still look at this as
a hobby,” he said.
“When you say fashion they
think you own a boutique or
tailor clothes in your little shack
and that is the end of it. I just
wish they could see the business
side of fashion,” he said.
When asked what motivates
or keeps him going in a
challenging industry, Dlikilili
responded by saying: “I always
ask myself a question – where is

and for me the answer to that is
the grave.
“Many people have died
having had brilliant ideas that
could have made billions.
“I refuse to be counted
among them. I am going to

“Giving up and the word
impossible are not in my

me going.”
He is currently working on a
youth development programme
that will develop young people
in the Chris Hani district in all
aspects of fashion.

All about the
election
For thousands of years nations or tribes were ruled by one man
who passed on the baton to his lineage and so on and so on. The
same thing happened throughout our civilization. Only men with
means had any say on the running of their day-to-day lives, but
the main ruler still remained supreme.
With the advent of democracy this changed here and morphed into
what we have today, especially after 1994. Do we have a proper
understanding of what elections are and what they are meant to do? Do
we treat elections, whether intra party or inter party, as self-standing
events or do we approach them as what they are supposed to be?
It is supposed to be a sober analysis based on facts and figures without
emotions and any other peripheral influences like money.
That is what democracy calls for us to do. Do you think, judging by
way we are behaving when it comes to elections, that this is what we are
doing and understand to be our role?
We had local government elections only last November and things in
the Enoch Mgijima municipality have gone from bad to worse. A whole
swathe of areas had no electricity for a full two weeks and the
municipality was running around dousing fires, literally, everywhere.
The transformers are failing and some are burning, costing hundreds of
thousands of rand. The same people who were in charge before the
elections when the same issues were common were voted back. Do we
use elections as a tool to evaluate the performance of the elected?
Last weekend the ANC held provincial elections and the incumbent,
Oscar Mabuyane, and his secretary general,
Lulama Ngcukaitobi, were returned to their
positions. The conference went on from
Friday until an extra day on Monday
because of numerous disputes and even a
court action. The elective conference every
five years is supposed to evaluate the
previous five years, look again at policies
adopted and possibly discuss, extensively,
new policies to take the organisation and,
by extension, the province forward.
IN TOUCH
Phumelele P Hlati
In those three days and extra, did they
do any of that? Were any policies discussed
and adopted?
Sadly, as we have seen, elections were
the main issue in the conference as the
whole weekend was spent haggling over credentials and who was
supposed to vote or not. The conference needed an extra day, a working
day for all of them, in order to complete just one item - elections.
This is an indictment of the organisational capabilities of those tasked
with running the organisation on a day-to-day basis and yet the delegates
returned those people. So what can we read about this kind of ANC
conferences? Do they serve the purpose they were meant to?
Can we trust an organisation that cannot sort itself out to solve the
diabolical state the Eastern Cape municipalities are in? Has the ANC been
crippled beyond repair by the politics of personalities, power, patronage
and money? “They have money, they have everything. Take the money,
but do the right thing,” Babalo Madikizela said. Were these words an
indictment of what ANC conferences have become or were these just
sour grapes?
The right to vote comes with responsibilities and accountability - liking
a person more than the other should not be the only basis why we vote a
certain way, surely. Voting for the ‘devil we know’ or a ‘better devil’
should not be the basis.
KOMANI WEATHER
The weather we are experiencing at present often leads to people saying
‘what a lovely day so we should enjoy the milder daytime temperatures
and almost still wind and make the best of the chilly evenings while we
can. On Friday the minimum temperature will be 6°C and it will be mostly
sunny, with a gentle wind. The maximum temperature will be 23°C.
Saturday will start off at 6°C and reach 21°C at the maximum. There
will be a few clouds about, but no moisture is foreseen and there will be
just a gentle breeze. The humidity will have crept up somewhat by Sunday,
but it will be mostly sunny and there will be just a gentle movement of air.
The minimum and maximum temperatures will be 7°C and 19°C. -

HIGH HOPES
FACE 2 FACE with
QWhat kind of work do
you do?
AI work as an
entomologist, a
biological scientist who
specialises in the study of
insects.
What do you enjoy about
your job?
I enjoy working with
students, grooming young
entomologists; making sure
they understand and
appreciate how diverse the
world of insects is and how
important they are to the
livelihood of human beings.
What is challenging about
what you do?
Getting communities to
understand that not all
insects are enemies.
Some insects you find in
your garden are actually
there as predators to the
harmful pests. Getting
people to understand how
detrimental the use of
chemicals to control insects
on crops is.
Imagine a worker bee
landing on a flower with
chemical traces, taking the
chemical back to the hive
and endangering the whole
bee colony.
What would our life be if
the bees became extinct?
What fuels your motivation?
It’s watching our students
develop into scientists. Most
of them are often scared to
even touch anything that
crawls in the beginning, but
as the year progresses, they
learn the art of curating
insects into beautiful
specimens that are
incorporated into the
national insect collection.
At the end of the year
they are able to identify most
of them to family level and
some even to species level.
Their gradual transformation
is beautiful to witness.
What advice would you give
to young people who aspire
to be entomologists?
The field is wide with so
many opportunities. Once
you get in, make sure you
don’t blend in, find your
niche and stand out.
Name three people you
would like to sit at a dinner
table with and why?
1. Julius Malema, his
fearlessness and how he
always goes straight to the
direction in which bullets are
being fired. 2. The late
professor Lungile Pepeta. It
would have been an honour
for me to drink from the well
of wisdom of such a
visionary. His vision for a
medical institution in PE has
become a great success; 3.
Priscilla Shirer, an author, a
preacher and a full-time
mom. I love how balanced
her life is, and how she
hasn’t allowed her ministry
to prevent her from being a
fully present mom.
What interesting topic has
your attention now?
Indigenous knowledge
systems. There is a serious
communication breakdown
YO U R VOICE opinions on the street
when it comes to passing
information between
generations. There is still a
lot of African knowledge that
has not been documented,
and I feel we don’t have
much time.
What do you do in your
spare time?
I read novels and memoirs
and my favourite memoir
that I feel every black child
should read before the age of
20 is “Holding my Breath”
by Ace Moloi. I also enjoy
podcasts.
What three items you
cannot do without?
My phone, my books and my
bible ... no particular order.
What development would
you like to see in your area?
Libraries in the villages. I
would like to see more black
children investing in the
reading culture.
What is your favourite
childhood memory?
My late grandmother’s love...
My mind still can’t
comprehend how one
person could love so many
of us with so much intensity
What do you think about…

Most definitely the
government is going to
implement lockdown
restrictions. I think people
are trying to spite the
government, they are tired of
being controlled. I think they
wo n ’t put us on lockdown
level 1 or level 2, maybe
average level 3.

#PRIssues: Investor Relations – another
essential part of Public Relations
Ireceived my first-hand
experience in this PR
speciality when I took up the
role of head of communication
at Business Connexion (BCX)
because the company is listed
on the Johannesburg Stock
Exchange (JSE). Investor
relations is another speciality
that young PR professionals
should consider, especially
those passionate about
communicating private
companies’ business and
financial performances to
specific stakeholders, including
c o m p a ny
shareholders/investors, financial
analysts, the JSE, employees and
business and financial media.
I must say I found this
speciality a bit daunting
because of the financial jargon
involved, but what helped me
was the bit of financial
knowledge I acquired when I
was working both at Absa and
the South African Institute of
Chartered Accountants (SAICA).
The role of a PR professional in
investor relations is an
important one because it is
mainly to compile various
communication for the different
stakeholders I mentioned above.
This usually happens at least
twice a year when the company
reports on its half-year and fullyear
performance and financial
results. What is fascinating
about communicating in this
space is that every
communication needs to be
drafted to suit different
audiences. The way you
communicate with employees
and clients is different from how
you would speak to financial
analysts, journalists and the JSE
and the timing is critical.
Before I elaborate on how to
communicate with different
stakeholders and the issue of
timing, I’d like to talk about
something else I learned during
this period. I realised for the first
time that there was something
called a “closed period”. Tthis is
when a listed company cannot
discuss any developments in the
organisation until the date the
half or full-year financial results
are announced. This is part of
the JSE rules because, during
this period, any communication
from the organisation could
affect the company’s share
price. It was a period when
everything was highly
confidential, to the extent that if
there were any major
announcements such as
mergers or acquisitions, change
in management structure or
changes in the different business
units – anyone who worked on
the project had to sign nondisclosure
agreements (NDAs).
Empower ment
Zone
Miranda Lusiba
Because what we were
communicating was so sensitive
(as it involved the financial
performance of shareholders’
money they have put into the
company), the management
involved in the announcement
had to be fully prepped by the
PR team. This is where media
training played a crucial role.
Because most of the
management had had a basic
media training, this one needed
to be a refresher and more
practical; specifically focusing
on questions that analysts and
financial journalists would ask.
You see, analysts and financial
journalists play the role of being
watchdogs for
shareholders/investors. Their
role is to make sure that the
management executives
mandated to run the company
are doing what they can to
ensure that the business meets
its financial obligations to the
shareholders.
When a company or some of
its business units were not
performing well financially,
then the hard questions we
expected to come from analysts
and journalists to the CEO
would typically be: “W hy
should you continue to be the
CEO of a company that is not
performing?”; “Shouldn’t you
have resigned by now?”; “If you
are staying on as a CEO, why
should shareholders trust that
you will do a better job?”; “If the
shareholders give you a second
chance to continue as the CEO,
what plans do you have in place
to turn the company around?”
This is where the advisory role
to the CEO as his executive
committee (Exco) was played by
the PR team – to give counsel on
the best messages to take to the
market and ensure that all the
Exco members were prepared to
ensure consistency in
messaging.
To address the timing issue
and the sensitivity on the day of
the financial results
announcement, we had to share
the different communications
outlining the business
performance in this sequence:
1. A SENS (Stock Exchanges
News Service) announcement
was sent to the JSE before 7am,
followed by an advert that
would be put into the business
publications, which would
come out that morning,
targeting mainly the
shareholders/investors, analysts
and financial media.
2. This was followed by
disseminating the letter to
clients, and the communication
to employees between 8 and
9am.
3. The results announcement
event would start around 9 and
be finished by no later than 1,
followed by a media road show,
in-studio radio/TV interviews by
the CEO accompanied by the
head of communication until
the evening. Not forgetting the
provincial road shows to clients
and analysts the week of the
announcement.
When we were announcing
the full-year financial results,
the next step would be to work
on the annual report, giving a
detailed overview of the
c o m p a ny ’s performance in
every aspect and business
division. I learned that if the
Exco was doing its job of
making sure the company was
performing well financially,
shareholders were not losing the
money they invested. Instead,
they were making returns. A
great financial performance in a
business also meant employees'
jobs in that company were safe.
As a PR professional, it felt good
to be part of that process and
learn. I’d like to encourage
young PR hopefuls to pursue
this daunting, yet interesting
part of our profession.

New paediatrician
hopes to educate,
empower patients
WARM WELCOME: Dr Indiphile Gwanya at Life Queenstown Private Hospital is
eager to serve and help educate people about health issues Picture: SUPPLIED
A DV E RT I S I N G
F E AT U R E
ZINTLE BOBELO
Life Queenstown Private Hospital has
welcomed paediatrician Dr Indiphile
Gwanya who will be joining its
formidable list of specialists.
Gwanya, who grew up in
Xhongorha Village, Mthatha, where
she attended Holycross High School,
studied medicine at the University of
the Witwatersrand, and later enrolled
in a registrar programme to train as a
specialist.
Gwanya then pursued her masters
degree through Walter Sisulu
University while serving at Frere
Hospital in East London and Cecilia
Makhiwane in Mdantsane.
With her mother being a nurse, as
well as her aunts, Gwanya said
hospital wards were her playground
growing up.
“I come from a family of nurses so
my whole life was based in a
hospital. In my early primary school
days I went to a mission hospital,
Nessie Knight Hospital, in rural
Qumbu, so I spent a lot of my time in
a health institution.
“I had friends who were patients
and, in retrospect, I think that is
where my inspiration grew from.
“Even if you were to ask me, I did
not know any other career choice but
to be a doctor, from as early as eight
or nine,” she said.
“I was groomed to help people
and, growing up, we were trained to
care for others, something I was
taught at a very young age.”
As she joins the team at Life
Queenstown Private Hospital,
Gwanya said she was eager to serve
the community.
“I am passionate about
community health.
“Health starts from a mindset, at a
point of being empowered and
knowing stuff about diseases.
“What I want to highlight and
bring is empowerment. Parents,
mothers and children need to be
empowered so that we are able to
pick up things early so that by the
time they come to a doctor, the illness
is not more developed.
“I want to bring some cooperation
between a doctor and patient and at
the end of every encounter there
needs to be empowerment. I cannot
leave you knowing less or confused.
“I want to leave you knowing
something else that you did not
know. I am also here to learn so we
can prevent what we can.”
Educating people is at the core of
Dr Gwanya’s heart.
“We need to move to a point
where we can, as a community,
educate each other so that when you
consult a doctor there is some sense
of awareness.”
She said acknowledging different
parenting styles was important.
“Mothers are different, they come
from different spaces, backgrounds
with different support structures.
“But at the core of being a mother,
the maternal instinct is best and I
think that is one thing that mothers
have that no one can take away.
“If you feel something is amiss
with your child, I would advise that
necessary action be taken. Seek care
at your nearest point. Not everyone
will have access to a paediatrician,
but there are still other levels of
healthcare. Mothers need to use
those for the wellbeing of the child.”

SPAR Women’s Challenge builds on runaway success; entries limited to 60,000 participants
REP REPORTER
Celebrating its third year, the
SPAR Women’s Virtual
Challenge 2022 will return to
the annual road-running calendar
serving as a symbol of the country’s
rise out of the ashes of the
pandemic.
The 2022 edition of the popular
virtual event was launched in Cape
Town on May 11 where it was
revealed that the country’s top female
runners would once again be
competing for the prestigious SPAR
Grand Prix series title across six races
in five different provinces.
The SPAR Women’s Virtual
Challenge 2022 will build on the
runaway success of last year’s race
when entries were open nationwide,
taking the most beautiful race to all
corners of the country (and abroad).
As a virtual event, there are no
geographic boundaries to the race,
while participants get to decide on
their route, pace, and whether to do it
alone, with friends, family or as a
c o m m u n i t y.
This year’s theme, captured
through the hashtag, #IRise, is a
celebration of how South African
women conquer their challenges.
The SPAR Women’s Virtual
Challenge 2022 encourages all
participants to harness their power,
adopt the #IRise philosophy and
become part of a collaborative
community that collectively rises
above their challenges.

The virtual event was launched in 2020 as a
homage to South African women’s resilience and
strength amid the uncertainty and strife brought on
by the Covid-19 pandemic.
Although the government has lifted the state of
disaster, the pandemic remains in our midst, which
prompted SPAR once again to take the beautiful
race into the virtual space.
“For the safety of our participants, based on the
fluctuating Covid-19 regulations and the
unprecedented times we find ourselves in, we
have gone virtual again this year,” said Charlene
Subbarayan, SPAR Group sponsorship and events
m a n a g e r.
“However, that does not mean we have
compromised on the fun. Get your friends
together, work out a route in your local community
and share all the fun by tagging us in your pictures
#IRise #YourRaceYourPace.”
Online entries are now open for the SPAR
Wo m e n ’s Virtual Challenge 2022. SPAR invites
women across the country to join in on Saturday,
September 3, anytime between 6am and 6pm
(subject to government lockdown regulations).
Participants can run, jog, or walk their virtual
challenge at their own pace anywhere in South
Africa.
Entry to the SPAR Women’s Virtual Challenge is
R120, and as part of the entry fee, every participant
will receive a virtual challenge pack. The pack
includes an official virtual challenge t-shirt, access
to the My Virtual Challenge digital magazine, a
face buff and a medal.
This year there are even more ways to join in
the fun online. Participants can visit the official
race website, sparvirtualchallenge.co.za to

certificate – perfect for pre and post-race selfies!

Plans to establish a cricket hub
in Komani were some of the
discussions that formed part of
the Border Cricket roadshow
meeting with Chris Hani Cricket
Association executive
committee and district coaches
in Komani recently.
Chris Hani Border Cricket
president, Simphiwe
Ndzundzu, said launching a
cricket hub in Komani would
play a crucial role in bringing
required cricket development in
the district.
TRAIL BLAZERS
“Chris Hani is a big region; a
lot of successful players were
produced here.
“This is where the best
players from ten Chris Hani
schools can be taken and
c o a ch e d .
“The coach will get paid,
have programmes to play locally
and against other hubs in the
p r ov i n c e ,” Ndzundzu said.
The other business of the day
was to establish wh a t
programme the district had in
place and to report on new
developments in Border Cricket.
“We also want to find out
what their challenges are for us
to be able to assist by also
engaging various stakeholders
such as the department of
education, municipalities,
umpires and schools where
n e e d e d .”
However, Ndzundzu said
the main goal was to deal with
leadership conflict in the Chris
Hani Cricket Association, where
a second structure had
emerged.
He said before Border
C r i ck e t ’s AGM was conducted
in July, the requirement was for
all regions to have conducted
theirs beforehand.
“However, some people
want to form another structure,
which we do not recognise as
Border Cricket, we recognise
the one that conducted the
AGM which is led by Viwe
Yawa .
“If there are people facing
difficulties, we want to resolve
them.
“We want our structures to
focus on cricket and not on
fighting about leadership
positions that do not help the
children to develop.
“Our interest is to have
youth from Chris Hani playing
in border cricket, and from there
for South Africa,” he said.

A learning disability cannot be
fixed or cured. Depending on
the type or severity of the
disability, interventions may be
used to help the individual learn
strategies that will culminate in
success. Social support is a
crucial factor in the overall
programme to assist these
pupils.
A child with a learning
disability cannot try harder, pay
closer attention or improve their
motivation on their own. They
need extra help. Learning
disorders are not a problem with
intelligence. They are caused
by a difference in the brain that
affects how information is
received, processed or
communicated. One of the
manifestations of such problems
is sensory deficits.
One of science’s greatest
discoveries in recent years is
that of neuroplasticity. This
refers to the brain’s capacity to
change and form new
connections and generate new
brain cells in response to
experience and learning.
Here are some suggestions
for parents on how to deal with
the challenges that arise with
children who are diagnosed
with learning disabilities.
Keep things in perspective;
Be an advocate for your child:
remember they only have you in
their corner.
Continually seek to update
your knowledge of the problem.
Only accept advice from
reputable sources.
Be cautious of Google.
Remain positive and optimistic.
Keep an open mind.
Focus on strengths NOT
weaknesses.
Motor difficulties:
These refer to problems with
movement and coordination.
Gross motor skills refer to
physical abilities such as
running, jumping, hopping and
skipping. Fine motor skills refer
to hand-eye coordination and
smaller movements.
Language difficulties:
This can be seen in problems
with fluency of speech,
semantics (understanding of
words) and the recognition of
context.
Reading difficulties:
There are two main types of
disabilities in this area. One is
the mechanical decoding of
sound and letter combinations.
Reading comprehension
problems occur when there is
an inability to grasp the
meaning of the words,
sentences or paragraphs.
Maths difficulties:
These can occur due to a visual
disorder, for example
perception of shape or form.
They can also arise due to
problems with numerical
sequencing, memory,
organisation, etc.
Writing difficulties:
● 1. Neatness of letter
formation and fluidity of letter
combinations.
● 2. Writing organisation and
coherence.
● 3. Spelling consistency.
● 4. Transcription (accurate
copying from the board or a
book).
Auditory and visual
p ro c e s s i n g :
Auditory processing skills are
often referred to as “r e c e p t ive
language”. Inability to
distinguish subtle differences in
sounds may hamper the basic
concepts of reading. P
roblems with visual
perception include reversing
letters and numbers, skipping
words or lines, misperception of
depth and distance as well as
hand-eye coordination.

Netball league launches
Five local schools to participate
ABONGILE SOLUNDWANA
Phulutho Activities, in
partnership with PH Sports
and funded by Lotto,
launched the Komani Schools
Netball Splash Series league to
help increase the chances of
pupils from townships pursuing
careers in sport.
The netball league was
launched at Luvuyo Lerumo on
Wednesday, where all league
series games will take place
every Wednesday from 1pm.
The schools participating in
the five-week league are Maria
Louw, Luvuyo Lerumo , John
Noah, Nkwanca and Kwa-
Komani Comprehensive School.
The teams received full kit
comprising dresses, warm up T-
shirts, position bibs and a ball
each from the National Lotteries
Commission.
PH Sports director Phumelele
Hlati, who handed over the kit,
said they had started the league
because of the decline in sport
over the last five to 10 years in
the former disadvantaged
s ch o o l s .
“This has led to a lot of social
problems because children have
too much time on their hands.
“Those who are in Grade 12
are occupied with studies until
5pm. We want to improve the
chances of the disadvantaged
pupils making sport a career.”
However, this opportunity
had been taken away from them
since organised sport in the
township had ceased, he said.
Hlati said girls were a
priority, with SA set to host the
Netball World Cup in Cape
Town next year.
“We want to make netball
fashionable, accessible and a
sport of choice for girls, even
those who have never
participated, to take up the sport
and give them something to do.
“We know that a healthy
body results in a healthy mind.”
Hlati added that Nicolene
van Schalkwyk was the netball
c o nve n o r.
He said rugby and soccer
wo u l d also be included in the
fixtures, but due to not being
budgeted for, the teams would
play for a trophy and medals.
They will be catered for in
next year’s budget.
SUPPORTING DEVELOPMENT: The new Komani Schools Netball Splash Series league was officially launched on Wednesday
and participating teams received playing kit before matches kicked off at Luvuyo Leromo High School. Present at the launch are,

Pretty perfect parkrun
STAFF REPORTER
Last Saturday 51 people ran,
walked and jogged the course of
the Komani parkrun at the
Queenstown Golf Club and
enjoyed perfect weather
conditions.
There were three happy
regular parkrunners who
recorded personal best times.
The event was made
possible by 14 willing
vo l u n t e e r s .
MAXWELL LEVINE
Ncerha Leopards are the early
pacesetters in the Border Super
League after making it two wins
in a row after defeating Ko m a n i
team Breakers at home.
Leopards won 16-8 in a
tightly-contested match at
Ntenteni rugby fields.
Swallows bounced back
from their horrific start to the
season by thrashing Old
Selbornians 26-7 at the NU 1
stadium in Mdantsane, after a
30-8 loss to Young Leopards the
week before.
The defending Border
champs have awakened from
that early slump to set their
radar for another title defence.
Berlin Tigers got their season
on a roll with a solid 28-21 win
over a powerful Ntlaza Lions
side.
It was Tigers’ first outing after
their match against WSU All
Blacks was cancelled last
weekend due to a last-minute
venue change.
Ntlaza recorded their first
defeat after an impressive
opening match against EL Police
last weekend.
Buffs defeated Black Eagles
26-13 to secure their first points
of the season.
It was a good away win for
Buffs, which will boost their
confidence for a decent run in

Eagles have yet to show their
mettle and one expects a topsyturvy
season for the Mpongobased
side.
The matches between Police
and WSU All Blacks and Fort
Hare Blues versus Young
Leopards were postponed.
In the premier league, Busy
Boys got the better of WSU
Eagles, winning 9-6 in a closelycontested
tie. Winter Rose
defeated Ocean Sweepers 17-
12 away from home.
United Brothers got the win
away in Stutterheim, beating
Wallabies 13-12. Moonlight
were too strong for Ngculu
Zebras, winning 18-3 at home.
The Africans vs Cambridge
and Evergreens vs Shining Stars
games were postponed. The
Border Bulldogs continued their
winless streak after suffering a
35-12 defeat at the hands of
Kenya Simbas in the Currie Cup
first division.
Locally, Old Collegians
thrashed WSU Whittlesea 43-5,
while Progress won 52-5 against
Shining Stars.
