U20 touch rugby star to
play in Youth World Cup
Cambridge pupil selected for
Sata team set to compete in
England next year
SIPHOSIHLE DYONASE
TRISTAN HOFFMAN
Tristan Hoffman, a Grade 12 pupil at Cambridge High
School, has been selected for the South African Touch
Association (Sata) Boys’ Under 20 Touch Rugby Team,
who are set to compete at the Youth World Cup in Manchester,
England, next year.
The Youth World Cup in Manchester will be hosted in about
the middle of next year.
In preparation for the Youth World Cup, the selected players
have been instructed to train in their respective regions to
minimise costs, instead of travelling every weekend across the
provinces to train together.
However, Tristan said a training camp would be held in
January for the selected players.
He said he and his family were excited over his selection
and believed travelling overseas would be a great learning
opportunity as well.
“Even if it’s for sport, it helps you open your eyes and see the
world differently,” Tristan said.
Tr i s t a n ’s touch rugby coach, Cyril Errington, who is affiliated
to the Buffalo City Touch Association, is thrilled with Tristan’s
selection, as well as Glenwin Cramford’s and Chloe Adams’ of
Breidbach Secondary School’s selection for next year’s Youth
World Cup.
“We don’t have leagues running, so we don’t have
tournaments to choose from.
“The players that will be going are players that played about
five weeks ago in a tournament in Knysna and they will play
U21 at senior nationals in Johannesburg.
“I’m happy about the three that made it, I’m disappointed
the other three didn’t, there were six of them.
“But there is still an opportunity for them if they can perform
at the seniors and show that they are capable.”
Errington said the club faced tough financial challenges.
”We ’ve been to BCMM so many times.
“When we approached them there was no budget or
sponsorship for any team, which is the problem.”
He said the club had also approached various companies
for sponsorship but had not received any feedback.
“The only company that did sponsor us with a little donation
was Designer Lighting, with that money we bought new kits.”
Errington said the players had not had enough preparation
because they had not participated in league games since Covid-
19 struck.
“I am going to take them to Cape Town to have practise
sessions with Western Province before SIPTs, just to get them a
bit more experience playing in a league.”
East London printing visionary Vrij
Harry laid to rest after sudden death
TAMMY FRAY
Harry’s Printers is one of the oldest
institutions in East London, having been
founded in 1929. On Friday August 5 the
printing giant was dealt a blow when it lost
its leader, the visionary Vrij Harry, due to a
suspected heart attack.
Harry took over the reins of the company
from his father in 1973 and grew the
business into a formidable publishing role
player with branches all over the Eastern
Cape, one in Pretoria and admission as the
only South African printer in the
International Printers Network.
Speaking at one of his last public
appearances in his capacity as MD of
Harry’s Printers and Publishers, Harry
extended congratulations to Dr Siboniseli
Mgolozeli, saying that the latter’s book was
an important contribution to local literature
because it captured the story of Mgolozeli’s
uniquely African experience.
“This book makes use of anecdotal
evidence from our local context in
conversation with rigorous academic
research, and this attempt at making the
Western and European canon more
accessible to us as black South Africans is
what excites me about this book,” Harry
said. “Harry’s Printers strives to publish
books from local authors because we want
to see our African experience captured on
the page.”
In his obituary for the Daily Dispatch,
journalist Ted Keenan writes, “He [Harry]
loved reading and had a vast book
collection. He supported local authors and
would shave the printing prices as well as
arrange book sale sessions.”
Former headmaster at Hudson Park High
School and colleague at Harry’s Printers,
Roy Hewett remarks of Harry, “His role in
the printing company started by his
grandfather reflects visionary leadership,
considerable growth and unparalleled
support of the local writing community.
“His keen insight and rare ability to see
the ‘big picture’ early and clearly, enabled
Vrij Harry to develop his organisation
immeasurably, while never losing sight of
the needs of his staff. My experience of Mr
Harry has been one of a friendly, caring and
supportive boss who allows his employees
to grow, while advancing the essential
elements of a successful business.”

TAMMY FRAY
“My lasting impression is of a man who
was extremely well-read, put his family, staff
and community at the forefront of his
business decisions, while developing a
printing and publishing company poised to
grow its footprint internationally,” he said.
Layout sub-editor at Daily Dispatch
Damien Sholayan worked with Harry’s
Printers as part of the editorial team for
Eastern Cape Today from 2008 until 2012
and he says “I have never met a CEO of a
company that played such an active role in
all departments of his business like Mr H
did. It was truly inspiring to me.
“Mr Harry had a heart of gold and I say
this from my personal experience. In 2012
when Mr Harry sold Eastern Cape Today to
new owners I had been battling with drug
addiction and even though I didn’t work for
him anymore, he paid for me to go to my
first rehabilitation centre, something that I
will forever be grateful for. I’m sure nobody
knew about it and that’s the role Mr Harry
also played in the community; he helped
and never wanted to take recognition for it.”
Harry is survived by his wife, children
and grandchildren and was laid to rest on
August 6.

Not Okay
CROSSWORD number 1292
Satire tackles monster
of social media celebrity
FAITH MTWANA
Not Okay is the perfect display of everything
wrong with the obsession people have with online
fame, and the lengths to which they are willing to
go, to get it.
Danni Sanders (brilliantly played by Zoey
Deutch), a photo editor for an online magazine
and an aspiring writer, is struggling with her job
and does not have any friends.
In an attempt to gain attention and impress a
male colleague, Danni lies about going on a
writer’s retreat in Paris and fabricates a bunch of
photos depicting herself posing in front of various
landmarks.
It goes well until she posts a photo of herself in
front of the Arc de Triomphe minutes before
several major Paris landmarks are bombed by
terrorists.
This incident mistakenly catapults Danni into
the spotlight as a terrorist attack survivor, gaining
sympathy from thousands of Americans and
ultimately making her famous on the internet.
Instead of coming clean, Danni fully embraces
her lie, and goes as far as attending trauma
support groups, writing essays about her
experience and creating a social media campaign
to gain more likes and followers.
The film starts with a small montage of Danni
receiving hate from many online platforms, some
even saying she’s worse than Adolf Hitler.
We also witness Danni becoming deluded
with her own lies, immersing herself in online
activism and creating her own hashtag.
Danni can be described as a tone deaf,
oblivious young woman, especially when she
likens her ordeal and struggles to big movements
like #MeToo and #BlackLivesMatter.
While we are all aware of how terrible Danni’s
actions are, it is interesting to see how quickly

everyone turns on her and how they simply ignore
their own part in the situation, since they are the

The movie sparks an interesting conversation
about the role that society plays in creating
overnight internet celebrities, and the lack of
discipline these celebrities tend to have in
maintaining their online popularity.
The series of events that lead to Danni’s secret

clean-up in the Quigney area
on June 30. The aim was to
collect as much litter as possible
in one hour. The participants
were divided into six groups,
each group choosing a
different street or area to clean
up. The total weight of
litter/rubbish collected was
728kg, more than 200 bags of
rubbish. Several residents and
shop owners in Quigney came
out to thank all those
participating in the clean-up.

world a little better than you
found it’. The scouts believe
they have achieved this at

Wo m e n ’s month is a time to remember and acknowledge the women
who died fighting to break barriers and ensure that we have the
opportunities we have today. It is also a chance for us to appreciate
the women still working hard to change the way society perceives
wo m e n .
Here is a list of women who are currently making moves in the

and the Gupta family.

Blanche, making her an undisputed media legend. Her career has

straightforward approach to dealing with sensitive topics. In 1996,
she made the move from radio to television, becoming a presenter
for Eastern Mosaic and, eventually, she moved to Carte Blanche in
2002. Govender has numerous awards under her belt for her
investigative work, covering stories like corruption at the Medical
University of South Africa, the health crisis in the Eastern Cape and
the Oscar Pistorius trial.

media company along with 702’s Phemelo Motene and eNCA’s
Penny Peppa.
GLENDA DANIELS
A media legend across the board, Daniels is currently working as
an associate professor of media studies at the University of the
Witwatersrand. She is also the commissioning editor at Fesmedia on
media freedom and the chair of the South African National Editors
Fo r u m ’s diversity and ethics committee. On top of all of that, Daniels

Jo u r n a l i s m ’s State of the Newsroom in 2012 as well as the co-author
of SANEF’s Glass Ceiling 2018 study.

July 2018 became editor of the Herald and Weekend Post. She left
the Herald and Weekend Post at the end of February 2020 to take up
a job as editor of the Sowetan, a position she stepped into as the

South Africa, proving herself a force in the media space.

Matric pupils from the
Kutlwanong Centre for

celebrated this past weekend at
a special awards ceremony at
The Venue at Hemingways for
their excellent 2021 results.
The class of 2021 excelled in
their year-end National Senior

enduring Covid-19, online
classes and a lack of physical
classes and in-person
interaction with teachers.
Matric pupils who took part
in the programme achieved a
100% pass rate for both maths
and physical science.
About 92% of the pupils
scored higher than 50% for
maths and 90% of them a b ove

50% for physical science. The
pupils also achieved a 95%
B a ch e l o r ’s pass rate, with many
gaining admission to top
universities in SA.
At the ceremony, awards
were also presented to pupils in
each grade in several categories,
including Top Achiever and
Most Improved Learner.
Maya Makanjee, chair of
Datatec Foundation, described
Kutlawanong as an effective,
well-run organisation.
“We are pleased that this
long-established partnership has
produced hundreds of
distinctions in maths and
science, as well as Bachelor,
diploma and higher certificate
passes, and, most importantly,
university graduates.
“Maths education faces
many challenges in our country,
but we believe that with longterm
thinking, consistency and
like-minded partners, we can
make a meaningful difference,“
said Makanjee. Yomelela Nelani
shared some words of wisdom
with the class of 2022,
reminding them of the power of
p raye r.
“The class of 2021 was a
class of prayer.
“When we first started in
Grade 10, our teacher would
start the class by reading a Bible
verse and praying.
“It is very important to be
focused.
“There are unhealthy
relationships that we can avoid
by being focused on our studies.
“Studying opens you up to
many opportunities,” said
Nelani.
Lithemba Somta, who was
BCM’s top achiever for 2021,
also had some words of wisdom
for his peers.
“I am very happy with the
recognition I have received from
Ku t l wa n o n g .
“My advice for the class of
2022 is simple. I wouldn’t be
here without hard work and the
help of the teachers.
“They taught us very well,
they taught us skills to master
exams, so listen to them
because they will guide you to
where you need to be,” said
Somta.
Inathi Melento, who is
studying towards a Bachelor of
Medicine and a Bachelor of
Surgery, offered study tips and
advice on how to achieve good
marks.
“In my study routine , I
would often read up about
topics before we covered them
in class.
“I would write down any
questions I had and ask the
teacher when I got to class.
“I believe that time
management is also very
important. I spent a lot of my
time studying at Kutlwanong.
“I also recommend watching
summaries of the work on
Yo u Tu b e ,” said Melento.
Kutlwanong Centre for
Maths, Science and Technology
has 16 centres and has assisted
more than 32,000 pupils in
maths and science.

Family’s home damaged
by fire, hard hit in storm
Strong winds, heavy rains leave many BCM residents homeless
SIPHOSIHLE DYONASE
Asevere unexpected
storm which hit parts of
the Buffalo City Metro
on Monday August 7 caused
huge damage to many homes,
leaving desperate families out
in the cold.
Buffalo City Metropolitan
Municipality spokesperson
Samkelo Ngwenya said disaster
management and human
settlements teams had been
dispatched to several areas that
had been affected by Monday’s
storm.
“Strong winds and
persistent rains blew [off] roof
tops and [toppled] trees,
flooded homes and swept away
shacks across the metro.
“Residents can contact the
GO!PEOPLE METRO
municipality’s disaster team or
their local ward councillors for
assistance towards accessing
nearby community halls.
“The metro is issuing an
urgent warning to communities
to be on high alert and those in
low lying areas to evacuate as
rains continue to persist,” he
said.
A Milner Estate family of
seven whose home had been
badly damaged by a fire earlier,
were hard hit during the storm.
The family said they still
needed clothes and food
donations as well as assistance
to rebuild their house.
Johanna Kirton, 59, said
their three-roomed home had
consisted of a lounge, kitchen
and bathroom.
H ow e ve r, they were n ow
only left with the kitchen.
The roof over the rest of the
house was destroyed, and they
have had to put a tent over the
section of the house where they
are now all huddled.
“Th e r e ’s only one piece
where it’s not raining where the
bed is, that’s where my
husband is lying.
“He had a massive stroke so

EMPOWERING MOTORISTS: The Motor Industry Association

Miwa workshop for
women to cover basic
vehicle maintenance
TAMMY FRAY
The local Motor Industry
Workshop Association (Miwa)
is set to host a workshop for
women on basic car
maintenance during Women’s
Month on August 25.
Miwa chairperson Teresa
Spenser-Higgs says all women
should know the basics of car
maintenance and what to do in
the event of a breakdown.
She says the Miwa
workshop is aimed at changing
the stereotypical view that
women are ignorant when it
comes to their vehicle’s
maintenance.
“Women sometimes have
their husbands or their
boyfriends talking over them
about what they think may be
wrong with the car when we
often see in the workshop that
women know their cars and
they need to be confident about
that, so we want to build this
confidence up with
k n ow l e d g e ,” she says.
The scope of the workshop
will cover when to check and

how to change a vehicle’s oil
and water;what different smells
emitted from a car signal; h ow
to change a flat tyre; what to
look out for when choosing a
credible workshop; and what a
ve h i c l e ’s different warning

“Sometimes women and all
motorists in general will hear
sounds coming from their car
but will delay attending to it
because they think it will cost
too much or they think they
wo n ’t be able to know enough
to fix it,” she says.
“We want to change this
mindset because when you
know just the basics about your
car, it quiets that anxiety and
you can then make sure the
problem is fixed.
“If you delay fixing your car
the problem will just get

The workshops will be held
at the Caltex workshop in
Cambridge, starting at 6pm.

Do research to avoid
crowdfunding scams
While most are true causes assisting many, some are not
FAITH MTWANA
Crowdfunding for school and club sports trips has
become increasingly popular, with more coaches
and parents seeing it as a viable option to raise
money to pay for their children’s participation at away
games.
Crowdfunding is defined as the practice of funding a
project or venture by raising money from a large number of
people who each contribute a relatively small amount.
Platforms such as Go Fund Me, Candystick and Go Get
Funding are available to make the process run smoothly.
While most people who make use of this practice are
legitimate, unfortunately there are those who see it as a
means to scam people of their hard-earned money.
There are many crowdfunding pleas trending on social
media, and while most are true causes, some are not.
To avoid being scammed, there are a few things to look
out for.
It is best to do your own research into the people or
organisations making the requests before giving a
donation.
VISION BOARD
MANIFESTING AMBITIONS: There are
still a few spaces left for the vision board
workshop this Saturday August 13 from
9am – 12pm and, as mentioned in previous
editions of the GO!, the workshop is a

Sport for Lives, a community-driven organisation, is
dedicated to facilitating opportunities for individual sports
players and teams.
Jonathan Kruger, co-founder and director of Sport for
Lives, says it is important for people to do some research
before they send money to any organisation.
“It is important to identify the need and the cause that is
presented.
“Find out about the organisation’s track record.
“There will always be those that try to take chances, and
unfortunately people will sometimes fall victim to scams.
“But if you do research and find there are details that
are not clear, or unverified, it is best to stay safe and find
other ways to help the cause,” said K r u g e r.
Sport for Lives makes use of crowdfunding through
legitimate and transparent campaigns.
The organisation also has auditors to ensure that all
financial donations are transparent and traceable.
The organisation has an excellent track record of
running campaigns for different people and teams, and

Samaritan plans to
use BCM land for safe
havens, food gardens
TAMMY FRAY
Lucille Doyle is a caregiver to all who
need help in the Parkside community.
She has run feeding schemes in the
area for the past four years, and
recently initiated plans to erect
temporary structures as safe havens for
the vulnerable and n e e dy.
D oy l e ’s efforts to provide meals
every Sunday for her community have
been heralded across the city, earning
her awards such as the Local Hero
awa r d .
She says that the need is becoming
greater and that apart from hunger, the
Parkside area is plagued with social ills
that require attention.
According to Doyle, there are no
safe spaces in the area for children to
play, mothers are subject to domestic
abuse and have nowhere to turn to,
and those with substance abuse
problems have no safe places to sleep
or food to eat.
Doyle says her community
depends on her to find ways and
means to address these issues.
As such, she applied to BCM to
adopt a piece of land next to the
Parkside library, which had been used
as an illegal dumping site, to house the
temporary safe haven structures for
women and children.
The land will also be used for
growing vegetables.
“You may not build on the land you
adopt so that’s why I need materials
like containers because those
structures can just be taken apart again
once you have to move them away.
“BCM gives us five years to prove
what we can do with the space so I
need to make sure we use the space to
the best of its potential for our
c o m m u n i t y,” Doyle said.

“I am aware of people who adopted
spots and then use those spots to run a

“Th a t ’s why if people want to help
me with what I am doing at my spot,
they must not give me money, we only
want donations of food or of materials
for temporary structures,” she said.
Councillor Shandre Hoffman says
BCM’s adoption system gives
communities the opportunity to
preserve their own areas by
establishing food gardens, parks or
soup kitchens.
However, she says it is illegal to use
these site to generate money.
Doyle says adopted spots should
stand in the gap of missing social
services.
She encourages communities with
adopted spots to join in efforts to
provide food for people in their areas,
given that local volunteers like herself
do not receive donations to feed
people daily.
D oy l e ’s plans for the adopted piece
of land next to the Parkside library will

GO CORRESPONDENT
Reach for Recovery (R4R)
celebrated its 55th birthday on
July 27.
To join in the national
celebrations, the East London
branch of R4R visited the J2
ward at Frere Hospital where
R4R volunteers shared birthday
cake with the patients and staff.
Volunteers Maureen Smith,
Rosalie Weare and Unity Jegels,
who is the EL R4R chair, created
a jovial atmosphere with pink
balloons and tasty cake s e r ve d
to the grateful patients.
The captive audience
listened to a brief presentation
on the organisation and sang
Happy Birthday in English and
isiXhosa.
Jegels said the excitement
and appreciation on the
patients’ faces was a joy to
behold, and many who face
long-term hospital stays asked
for more such visits.
She said the organisation
was started on July 27 1967 with
the purpose of providing
emotional care and practical
support to breast cancer
patients.
It is run by trained volunteers
who are breast cancer
s u r v ivo r s .
The principle premise R4R
operates on is: women who
have experienced their own
cancer journeys gives freely
of their time and experience
to support and assist other
women diagnosed with breast
c a n c e r.
Jegels said patients were
visited before or after surgery
and supplied with a comfort
pack consisting of a support
cushion, a bag to hold the portau-vac,
a temporary prosthesis
(softie) and informative
l i t e ra t u r e .
After all treatment is
completed, mastectomy
patients who attend state
hospitals may approach R4R to
be fitted with a silicon prosthesis
as part of the Ditto project.
Contact R4R if you, a family
member or friend is diagnosed
with breast cancer or booked for
a mastectomy by calling 073-

Community worker’s plan addresses
problems through child care services
Training educare teachers provides new opportunities for women and children in vital sphere
TAMMY FRAY
Roz Stafford has been a
community worker for 12
years in the Buffalo Flats
area and during Covid she felt
urged to tackle development in
the educare sphere, in turn
fostering two years of fruitful
development for children and
unemployed women in her
area.
Her educare centre, Joy to
the World, was founded in
February 2021 and has provided
a safe space for children to learn
and play as well as for aspiring
educare facilitators to study and
intern towards earning an Early
Childhood Development
teacher training certificate.
Stafford’s work in her
community over the years
prompted her to note the
problems facing women and
children, especially in terms of
their development. Stafford
believes there is a lack of
educare facilitators in the
industry currently who have
been adequately trained. She
s ay s educare facilitators start
centres in the city and then
unethically prioritise financial
gains instead of teaching and
d e ve l o p m e n t .
To cut costs and save time,
centre managers employ untrained
staff to watch over the
children which she says prompts
the abuse and neglect
encountered at daycare centers.
FRESH START: Joy to the World educare facility founder Roz
Stafford is using her centre to develop strong foundations
During the week, Stafford
runs the operations of Joy to the
World and over the weekends
the centre hosts classes with the
Edu-Builld Institute for those
studying towards the Early
Childhood Development
teacher training certificate.
The classes are facilitated by
retired educator John Wesley,
and learning outcomes are
aligned with ETDP and SAQA
requirements. The certificate
enables qualified students to
open their own preschools,
teach in preschools or become
au pairs overseas. The
programme offers NQF level 4
and 5 and is available for
anyone to enrol for, provided
participants have schooling up
until grade 10.
Once the certificate is
complete and students have
achieved NQF level 5 (240
credits) they can continue with
the BEd degree which will allow
them to teach in primary school.
Stafford explains that this
route to a profession has
enabled women in her
community to gain employment
experience, discover a field of
teaching they enjoy and has
provided those who do not have
matric certificates with a route
NEW PATH: Educare students receive training that will empower both themselves and chi l d re n
in their community
towards establishing a fulfilling
professional life.
She hopes in future that the
synergy between the centre and
training will continue to grow
and produce more safe spaces
for children as well as job
opportunities for educators.
“The next level is to open
preschools in every area where
our practitioners can teach. It is
senseless to train people and
there are no jobs for them.
“This is where we invite the
private sector to partner with us.
We want safe and very modern
facilities to stay in touch with
the times. We will also be
partnering with various
institutions to set up skills
development centres where we
can train artisans and
e n g i n e e r s .”
Stafford currently enables
students from the Edu-Build
programme to work as interns at
Joy to the World in return for a
stipend, but her ambition is to
enrol enough pupils to be able
to pay interns a salary.
PROMOTING
U N D E R S TA N D I N G : Dr
Madeleine Muller, a family
physician at Cecelia
Makewhane Hopsital and a
senior lecturer at Walter
Sisulu University, presented a
talk on Women’s Day, August
9, highlighting the
importance of productive
sexual health education and
conversations between
parents and children P i c t u re :
TAMMY FRAY
Advice for parents on
healthy development of
adolescent sexuality
TAMMY FRAY
This women’s day on August 9
Dr Madeleine Muller presented
a public community lecture for
parents in East London on how
to support the healthy
development of sexuality and
sexual well-being in their
teenagers.
Drawing on the latest
understanding of neuroscience
and brain development, she
explained to those attending
how best to help teenagers
develop communication tools
around sex and relationships
and improve sexual health
outcomes.
Muller has spoken on
various occasions about the
neuroscience that informs
behaviours and she makes
important distinction between
the survival and the creative
brain. Survival brain is a phrase
she uses to describe operating
from the limbic part of the brain
and the behaviours this results
in are those that tend to inflame
tense and difficult situations
such as criticism, aggression,
hostility, anger and so forth.
The creative brain, however,
allows for “dual thinking” and
this occurs in the pre-frontal
cortex and motivates behaviour
that is more reflective, meaning
that behaviour is self-regulated
and actions are considered
before they are carried out.
This neuroscience is
important to establish given that
often parents tend to respond to
topics relating to sex and
sexuality from their survival
brain, resulting in conversations
regarding sexuality with
children that are awkward,
hostile, vague and unhelpful,
leading to entrenchment of
myths, ignorance, shame and
anxiety regarding sexuality and
gender among ch i l d r e n ,
especially adolescents.
To mitigate this and to break
the cycle of shame regarding sex
in a domestic environment,
Muller’s talk detailed the
distinctions between gender,
biology and the role these play
in sexual reproductive health.
She detailed the distinctions
between gender and sex, the
spectrum of sexualities as well
as the myths surrounding
sexuality that have been
informed by religious doctrine,
biased scientific studies,
criminalisation, homophobia,
transphobia or cultural taboos.
In terms of biological factors
that influence sexual health
among children, Muller stresses
that it is important for parents to
understand that adolescent boys
tend to be spontaneously
stimulated due to the excess
testosterone powering their
m a t u ra t i o n .
Adolescent girls, however,
tend to context response when it
comes to sex as the hormone
powering their development is
oxytocin.
What this implies for each
one’s development is that boys
will tend to be more curious
about the act of sex itself,
seeking out visual stimulus and
so forth, whereas for young girls,
the interest in sex will stem
mainly from a need to feel
adored and validated, resulting
in curiosity more to do with
what is referred to as a “crush”
and very little attention is
dedicated to the act of sex itself.
These differences inform
how parents should approach
discussions relating to sexual
reproductive health with their
children and will give parents
an accurate estimation of
where, at the level of biology,
there children may be most
curious about the act of sexual
reproduction and all that is
associated with it.
Muller encourages parents
to start consent conversations
early on with children in their
households to establish the
practice of asking for consent
and being respectful of
boundaries in all aspects of life
and not just with respect to sex.

Organ donors save lives, give hope
WEST BANK MARKET
Recipients share life-changing
experiences during national
awareness month, in August
SIPHOSIHLE DYONASE
BUSINESSES GIVING BACK: Sponsored by Junk Junkies, the West Bank Market was held over the weekend of 6 August, giving
local tradesmen in the area an opportunity to sell their goods and generate an income. As discussed in previous editions of the
GO!, the West Bank community is struggling under the weight of unemployment and food insecurity and a portion of the
proceeds of the market goes toward a charity in need in the area. Junk Junkies owner Aiden Smith says that as a result of the
market, R1,000 was raised for the BIC (Because I Can) Non-profit Organisation run by Jackie Godfrey. The next Market Day will
take place on September 2 from 7am-1pm at 1 Hood Street, West Bank Village, East London. Pictures: SUPPLIED
August is National Organ and Tissue Awareness Month and
Transplant Education for Living Legacies (Tell) is on a
mission to create awareness about the vital need for organ
donation.
Tell was founded and is run by patients who have first-hand
experience of the life-changing effect of an organ transplant.
One organ donor can save eight lives.
This month, Tell is encouraging everyone to have the
conversation with their loved ones and make it known if they
wish to one day become an organ donor.
Fawn Kruger, Te l l ’s marketing director, was born with cystic
fibrosis, a chronic illness that destroyed her lungs and made it
necessary for her to have a double lung transplant in 2013.
“I don’t know how much time I had left but I knew if I didn’t
get lungs soon, I would die.
“My donor didn’t give me a second chance, they gave me a
first chance at life and I am forever grateful,” Kruger said.
The waiting list for a kidney in SA is 12 to 15 years, and while
patients wait, they need to get treatment at a dialysis centre, 12
hours a week.
Every year, 20,000 new patients are diagnosed with kidney
failure in SA, and the cost of sustaining one person on dialysis
per annum is about R280,000.
If more transplants take place, it opens up space for more
people to get dialysis treatment, as in the state sector, dialysis
treatments are rationed; only patients eligible for a transplant will
have access to dialysis.
Stella de Kock, Tell’s MD, was diagnosed with end stage renal
failure in 2011 and has been on hemo-dialysis since then.
She has been waiting for a kidney transplant for 11 years
since 2012, and has decided to apply her skills and experience at
Tell to raise awareness about organ and tissue donation.
“Dialysis keeps me alive and I’m grateful for the technology,
but you don’t get to take a break and it gets to me, especially
when I need to do dialysis on a public holiday,” said De Kock.
The costs are minimal when opting to become a donor,
according to Tell, and are all covered by the recipient’s medical
aid or the state hospital.
Transplantation is a cost-effective treatment readily available.
“It may take years of medical technology to come up with an
alternative treatment option so we need to make use of organ
donation while we can.
“There are no age restrictions on organ donation and even
people with chronic diseases can be donors.
“The transplant team will assess the donor’s suitability at the
time of death. Everyone can give something,” states Tell.
Alice Vosloo, a financial director at Tell and recipient of two
double lung transplants, was born with cystic fibrosis, and had a
double lung transplant in 2008 at the age of 23, and then again
in 2017 at the age of 33.
She is the first person in SA to survive two bilateral lung
transplants, and has participated in three World Transplant
Games.
“Currently I have two part-time jobs, I exercise quite a bit, I
try to do as much for Tell as my time allows. Not a day goes by
that I take breathing for granted,” Vosloo said.

LOVE IS IN THE AIR
Good reason you need
a furry friend in your life
Dogs are great companions bringing comfort, joy, and security
FAITH MTWANA
August is National Dog Month and our
furry friends deserve all the love and
appreciation they can get.
Dogs are great and loyal companions
and often, when we feel alone, sad or
stressed, their love and presence can
comfort us.
Cuddling and petting your dog can
bring a level of comfort that makes life
e a s i e r.
This has been scientifically proven by
an Australian study that concluded that
dog ownership reduces loneliness.
Dogs can also provide a distraction for
someone going through a tough time in
their lives.
Following an exercise routine with your
MAN’S BEST FRIEND: August is
National Dog Month Picture: SUPPLIED
dog can also help distract you from
negative thoughts, keeping your mind and
body busy.
Scientists at Washington State
University discovered that just 10 minutes
petting a dog can have a significant impact
on a person’s wellbeing.
Dogs are also protective and provide a
sense of security.
Dogs communicate predominantly
through touch, and this is one of the many
reasons that dogs and babies get along.
Dogs are naturally protective of babies
and watching them grow together is a
rewarding experience.
Dogs can also help alleviate social
a n x i e t y.
If you take your dog for a walk or to a
park, it allows dog owners to interact with
each other over their shared love of their
furry friends.
Lastly, dogs are full of fun. It is always
fun to watch a dog play and discover the
world around them.
Essential health checks every
woman should have often
TOGETHER FOREVER: Graham and Anna Simpson celebrate
50 years with family and friends on August 5. They were
married in 1972 at the Methodist Church in Oxford Street.
They are blessed with three children, Yolande, Ramona and
Morne, in-laws Marie and Leonard, and seven grandkids. They
are still in love as much as the first time they met. Graham says:

This Women’s Month, Pharma
Dynamics advocates for self-care and
encourages women to make their
health a priority by scheduling overdue
health checks.
Women take on many duties such
as being a mother, wife and career
woman, and in doing so may neglect
their own health.
Nicole Jennings, spokesperson for
Pharma Dynamics, says even though
you may feel healthy, you might not be.
“Health screenings are generally done
when you’re healthy.
“The aim is to detect disease at an
early stage before symptoms become
noticeable.
“In most cases, treating a disease
early on provides a better prognosis.
“Regular health checks can also
help to reduce risk factors and/or treat
abnormalities that could lead to more
serious disease later on.”
She says that a list of relevant
screenings applicable to someone
changes with age.
However, here’s a list of 10 essential
health check-ups every woman should
prioritise:
Blood pressure screening
“It’s a myth that high blood pressure
mainly affects men or the aged,” s ay s
Je n n i n g s .
“Research conducted in SA shows
that high blood pressure rates among
women have climbed in the last two
d e c a d e s .”
A study sample comprising 5,477
men and 7,740 women pointed to an
increase in hypertension prevalence
from 27% to 45% in men and 31% to
48% in women.
High blood pressure is called the
silent killer because it does not have
symptoms, but has a devastating effect
on your health.
“Almost all diseases, disabilities and
deaths caused by high blood pressure
are preventable. “So, roll up your sleeve
and get your blood pressure checked.
“This can be done at most pharmacy
clinics or at your GP,” says Jennings.
A blood pressure screening should
be done annually from the age of 18.
Cholesterol check
“This check assesses your risk for
developing heart disease or stroke,
HEALTH MATTERS: Pharma
Dynamics is encouraging women to
look after their health
which you should have done at least
every five years from the age of 20.
“However, if you have a history of
cardiovascular disease in your family or
suffer from it, you should have it done
more regularly.
“Normal cholesterol levels should
be less than 5 mmol/l,” says Jennings.
Blood glucose
Women aged 45 and older should get
their blood glucose checked every three
years to detect their risk for diabetes.
“A fasting plasma glucose reading
of 6.1 - 6.9 mmol/l and higher may
indicate that you’re prediabetic, while
anything over E7 mmol/l indicates
d i a b e t e s ,” says Jnenings.
HIV
Given the high rate of HIV/Aids in SA
and the Eastern Cape, it’s recommended
that women get tested once a year. This
involves a simple prick test or swab of
the cheek that can be done at a GP or
clinic.
Pap smear
“A pap smear is recommended every
three years, starting from the age of 25
to 65,” says Jennings.
“Your doctor will take cells from
your cervix with a small brush, which
then gets sent to a lab for analysis.
“There they will look for changes or
abnormalities that may lead to cervical
c a n c e r.”
M a m m o g ra m s
This is a screening tool for breast
cancer, which involves compressing the
breast between plates so that X-ray
images can be taken.
“As you age, your risk for breast
cancer increases. Women should start
annual screenings at age 40 and can
then switch to biannual screenings at
age 55,” says Jennings.
It is also advised to do monthly selfexaminations
at home where you can
check for lumps, bumps or any
ch a n g e s .
Bone density
To screen for osteoporosis, a bone
density test is recommended for women
from age 65 and men over the age of
70, but those with risk factors, like
fractures or low body weight, should be
screened earlier.
“The frequency of the test varies
depending on bone density, but your
doctor will be able to advise you on
how often you should have it done.”
The test requires you to lie flat on a
table with your legs positioned over a
padded box, while a low-dose X-ray
machine captures images of your
bones.
Colon screening
The colon should be scanned for cancer
from 50 years of age, and repeated
every 10 years after that depending on
an individual’s risk factors. It can be
done at the doctor’s office or in hospital
by way of a sigmoidoscopy where a
lighted tube and camera are inserted in
the anus to examine the lower colon. A
colonoscopy involves a longer tube that
examines the entire colon.
Skin checks
“In SA, about 20,000 cases of skin
cancer are reported annually, which
makes it the most common cancer in
the country. Therefore, selfexaminations
should be done monthly
at home to check for any new moles or
changes to existing moles. If you find
anything out of the ordinary, rather have
it checked out by a GP or
d e r m a t o l o g i s t .”
Dental checks
Regular dental check-ups can prevent
plaque build-up, cavities and gum
disease, which makes seeing the dentist
at least once a year, a must.
“Don’t put off making a doctor’s
appointment for yourself because
yo u ’re too busy taking care of everyone
e l s e ,” says Jennings.
“Taking care of yourself should be at
the top of your list. If you’re not taking
care of your own health, how are you
supposed to take care of others? Putting
your health first is essential!”

Tete joins efforts to
help Selborne pupil
World champion and local gym support fundraising Ubuko campaign
TAMMY FRAY
As organisations, schools and
BCM residents continue to
support the f u n d ra i s i n g
efforts for Selborne pupil Ubuko
Mpotulo, local world boxing
ch a m p i o n Zolani Tete, and fitness
professionals from Body 3.0 did
their part at the College’s derby day
on August 6.
Ubuko,14, who is in Grade 8,
lost both his legs and seven of his
fingers after contracting viral
meningitis when he was three.
Body 3.0 set up a Blaze pods
reflex training machine, allowing
those attending the day to test their
reflex skills while donating to the
campaign.
NGO Sport for Lives
chairperson, Jonathan Kruger, a
Selborne teacher, said the m a ch i n e
worked on peripheral vision and
reaction time, recording a c c u ra cy
and speed.
This involves participants having
to hit buttons that light up.
For every “hit’ made, Body 3.0
pledged R1 towards the fundraising
campaign for Ubuko.
Brendan Kickelbien, operations
manager at Body 3.0 said: “We used
the Blaze pods so we could also
show parents how much children
actually enjoy this kind of exercise.
“Mind you, the parents also got
into the Blaze pods. It’s a way to
make sure they’re being stimulated
in a way that nurtures their central
nervous system’s development.
“The way our eyes move around
and focus directly relate to all sport
skills, and training our eyes also
helps with problem-solving and
spatial awareness.”
Tete, who encouraged people to
support the campaign, also engaged
with young fans to spread
awareness about the need to use
sport to bring about social justice.
Kruger said Tete also hoped to
work with Sport for Lives in future to
improve the training and gym
facilities for boxers in NU1 in
Mdantsane, where he is from.
Tete is the first Eastern Cape
boxer to have won three major
world titles – the IBF, WBO and
Commonwealth titles. He is now
waiting for the opportunity to
contest for the World Boxing title
which his management team
confirms should be in November/
December t his year.
Sponsors of the event included,
Tyremart East London Group,
PHYZEEK GEEK, C h i r o p ra c t i c
Group, Juice Co Junction, among
others.
Knickelbien said there was a
great need for everyone to do their
part in helping those in need.
“The Ubuko 300 campaign is
just the start for us.
“We ’re teaming up with Jono
Kruger from Selborne College to see
what we can do for Zolani and the
community he grew up in.
“Our goal is to help build up a
proper boxing gym for Zolani In
M d a n t s a n e ,” Knickelbien said.

CELEBRATING WOMEN IN SPORT: Mzomhle and
John Bisseker senior secondary schools clash in the
first ever ELCLFA women’s football League Cup
games for high schools Picture: TAMMY FRAY
Wo m e n ’s league
hosts schools event
TAMMY FRAY
This year marked the historic introduction of the East
London Central Local Football Association wo m e n ’s
football league at schooling level, and on August 9 in
honour of women’s development in sport, the league
teams competed for their first ever League Cup and for
the coveted top four positions on the log.
Eight teams from schools across Buffalo City formed
part of the fixtures, including Canaan Academy,
E b e n e z e r, John Bisseker , Mzomhle and Greenpoint
senior secondary schools, and Centre of Excellence,
BCMM Inner City and Clarendon Girls’ high schools.
The creation of a women’s league earlier this year was
framed as ELCLFA’a pilot project and is part of their longterm
initiative to promote gender parity in local football.
Vuyo Zambodla, ELCLFA vice-president and head of
youth affairs, says there were multiple clashes between
the league fixtures and the school academic programme
and in future they would probably focus on pupils from
grade 8 upwards in order to spend more time developing
younger players while alleviating the tensions between
sporting and academic commitments for matrics.
“The other thing we also learnt is that a lot of these
schools are under-resourced. Transport, kit and coaching
costs money, which some of these teachers are paying
out of their own pockets,” he said. “There were teams
who could not make it . We will work towards alleviating
this in future so that the league can grow.”
Local coaches are grateful for the development in
wo m e n ’s soccer, but believe database verification must
be introduced to ensure those playing are in fact pupils
from the school they are playing for.
