New laws will help fight GBV

Digital court

orders on way

ABONGILE

S O L U N D WA N A

Women will soon be

able to apply for a

domestic violence

court order digitally and the

reporting of gender based

violence matters will be at their

fingertips as it is only a matter of

time before the new law system

is rolled out.

Not only that, but witnesses

who fail to report cases of the

elderly and children being

abused will also be charged,

including those who bridge

economic criminal law against

the pension grants of the elderly.

Minister of justice and

correctional services Ronald

Lamola informed residents of

the new law at a GBV and

femicide imbizo in Indwe on

Friday to address the scourge

plaguing Emalahleni, which is

one of the hot-spot areas.

“We are bringing in laws

that are going to make you

restore your behaviour, remove

economic abuse, elder abuse,

domestic violence, sexual

harassment and spiritual abuse.

“You will apply for a

domestic court order digitally,

no matter where you are. This

means there will no longer be

bystanders who see a child, an

elderly woman being abused

and keep quiet and not report

the matter to the police,”

Lamola said.

The minister said they did

not want the younger generation

victimising pensioners. He said

there would be no spiritual

leaders making people drink

petrol, or manipulating religion

to justify abusing the victim.

“We all respect the Bible, let

us use it appropriately,” he said.

Lamola said he was happy

to discuss the issue of gender

based violence, and community

members needed to gather

together to address it.

To the residents who voiced

their concerns about bail being

granted and criminals not being

convicted but returned to the

community, the minister said

President Cyril Ramaphosa had

brought in a new law so it

would not be easy for someone

who committed a domestic

violence offence to be granted

bail. “It is a matter of time for

the law to be implemented.”

Lamola said the digital court

application was a part of the

national strategic plan against

gender based violence and

femicide. This had influenced

the ammendment of the three

laws which affected the way the

government was fighting against

gender based violence,

femicide and sexual offences.

He said there were more

laws to be introduced in the

criminal system.

“Community members must

prepare to also change as they

are the ones who know the

culprits behind the crimes. You

cannot just stand aside when

you know that there are young

people who are being

victimised. People are

complaining about the DNA

issue. With the police minister,

we have appointed a task team

to observe and fast-track the

issue of DNA. We can see that

there is a significant

improvement. This is why you

have heard of those who were

sentenced in different places.“

One of the reasons

criminals returned to

communities, Lamola said, was

because residents were not

willing to step forward as

witnesses in court.

“The law requires those who

witness a violation to assist the

court. Some of you do not want

to be witnesses but expect

people to be sentenced. We

plead with you to come

forward. If you are afraid, the

justice department can assist

you to be a witness

anonymously, for people not to

be known through our witness

protection, where the

prosecutor will assist you for us

to fight these crimes. Sexual

offences and domestic violence

perpetrators are getting

convicted. As we are here, there

is a 76% conviction rate.”

He said families should

affirm their love for a boy child

so that they grew up with

affection.

“Some of them commit

crime because they affirm

themselves through aggression

and violence. This is a

movement we should start. It

will kill domestic violence and

rape before it gets out of control.

We can only plant the seed of

love at a young age.”

Meanwhile, Emalahleni

mayor Nontombizanele Koni

said the municipality was

working with the justice

department, police and

department of social

development to mitigate the

crimes.

Koni said years back, Indwe

had victims who were violated

and trafficked to other places,

but the police had played a

great role in addressing the

m a t t e r.

One of the shocking recent

incidents, she said, was the

murder of an elderly woman in

Luphaphasi whose head was

seen being carried by a dog to

one of the houses. Her corpse

was found with missing body

parts.

Koni said Ezingqolweni was

affected the most by the murder

of women, with more than 12

cases opened.

Festive season crimewave concern

Businesses hit

by robberies

GCINA NTSALUBA

The increasing frequency of

armed robberies, targeting

local businesses in and

around the Chris Hani district, is

an indication of a coming festive

season crimewave, according to

police.

This comes after robberies at

three businesses, including a

tavern and retail store, occurred

last week in Cofimvaba in the

space of three d ay s .

The police have confirmed

that businesses are being

targetted by criminals due to the

easy accessibility of illegal

firearms.

Provincial police

spokesperson Warrant Officer

Majola Nkohli confirmed the

police were investigating three

cases involving businesses

targeted by robbers during the

last week of August.

Nkohli said the first incident

took place on August 25, when

armed suspects stormed into a

liquor store in Cofimvaba and

managed to steal an

undisclosed amount of cash

before fleeing the scene on foot.

The following day, in the

afternoon, three armed suspects

robbed a chain store of an

undisclosed amount of cash and

cellphones.

The suspects fired warning

shots and got away with more

than R20,000 cash.

No-one was injured during

the incident.

“The third incident was

reported on August 27 when

two armed suspects targeted a

m a n a g e r.

“They shot and injured the

manager and two other people,”

Nkohli said.

They were all rushed to

hospital.

The suspects were allegedly

all armed with 9mm pistols and

only managed to get the money

in the tills and took bottles of

wh i s k e y.

A 27-year-old man was shot

dead and cases of murder and

business robbery were opened.

No arrests have been made

as yet.

Nkohli said due to the

expected pre-festive season

crimewave, a large contingent

of members from specialised

units such as the mounted

police (on horses) – patrolling at

malls, beaches and some

hotspot areas – would be

d e p l oye d .

“We are also urging anyone

with information that could

assist with the investigation in

any of the cases to contact the

nearest police station.

“The information may also

be shared via Crime Stop on

❝Many

businesses

have

a l re a d y

had to

close

down or

let go of

staff and

it seems

m o re

businesses

will have

to go

the same

route if

unplanned

challenges

do not

stop

JOBS WORRY

0 8 6 0 0 - 1 0 1 1 1 ,” Nkohli said.

According to the Border-Kei

Chamber of Business in Komani,

the negative impact of crime on

businesses that had just come

out of the Covid-19 pandemic

and were struggling with

constant power outages, created

additional challenges.

Some already struggling

businesses were often forced to

either shut down or retrench

wo r k e r s .

“Many businesses have

already had to close down or let

go of staff and it seems more

businesses will have to go the

same route if unplanned

challenges do not stop,” said

Dylan Edwards, ch a i r of the

safety and security subcommittee.

He said the culprits did not

understand they were not just

stealing or affecting these

businesses, but also the people

the businesses dealt with.

Furthermore, Edwards said,

those who bought the stolen

merchandise were as guilty as

the ones who stole.

“These armed robberies

seem at face value to be

opportunistic and not wellplanned

robberies.

“This, sometimes, makes

them more dangerous as they

do not have a clear plan and are

very edgy,” Edwards explained.

He also said business

owners needed to take extra

care and always have a plan in

place for such circumstances,

especially during the festive

season, because syndicates

from other areas operated in

Ko m a n i .

Edwards advised residents to

be more vigilant and to always

stay prepared.

Cofimvaba resident, Velile

Sontonga, who witnessed the

shooting incident involving a

manager, said the police

reaction had been slow and as a

result, the suspects allegedly

spent more than 30 minutes in

the business premises looking

for the keys to the safe.

“The police do not seem to

care much because they were

very slow to react.

“Those robbers who shot a

manager had at least more than

30 minutes to ransack the place

while they were looking for the

keys to the safe, before the

police arrived,” Sontonga said at

the time.

He said he would not be

surprised if the robbers struck

again at another business

because the police were not

effective enough to combat

crime.

“Maybe someone high up in

the police is taking bribes from

these criminals because that is

the only logical explanation I

can get to at this point,” he said.

Chamber municipal liaison

Adré Gainsford-Bartis said there

seemed to be a new trend

regarding break-ins at

businesses in Komani, with

criminals targeting the air

conditioning units in search of

copper inside the units, as well

as the aluminium finishes.

She said another problem

facing residents was

unoccupied houses a t t ra c t i n g

vagrants, who then broke into

other homes in those areas to

steal DV boxes, geysers, light

fittings and cables.

“These vagrants are also

being opportunistic and are also

breaking in at other residential

homes.

“They are also stealing

garden hoses, lawn mowers and

many outdoor things,”

Gainsford-Bartis said.

Chance

for local

women

Aim to make ANC regalia in EM

ABONGILE SOLUNDWANA

With the ANC’s regalia

being purchased from

China, small business

development minister Stella

Ndabeni-Abrahams has pledged

to provide a group of women in

Enoch Mgijima with industrial

machines to manufacture the

party’s gear in the region.

Ndabeni-Abrahams made the

announcement at the ANC Enoch

Mgijima sub-region branch

Wo m e n ’s Gala dinner recently,

where she called on the party

to invest meaningfully in wo m e n

and to deal with the social ills

they faced.

“All of us love the ANC

regalia, we spend lots of money.

“I have had engagements with

those who sell, at the policy

conference. All of them are

buying from China.

“At my pledge we need to

provide a group of women in

Enoch Mgijima industrial

machines so they can be made

from here,” the minister said.

However, she said the

business initiative could only

succeed if the fabric was bought

at affordable prices.

Abrahams spoke about the

importance of the fashion

designers involved to have

business skills.

She added that if there was no

access to the market, the

investment would fail.

She urged members of the

party to buy regalia from the

region.

The minister said the

government aimed to incentivise

locally produced programmes

and the Enoch Mgijima region

was being given an opportunity to

lead by example.

She said government had

indicated that resources would be

channelled towards women

e m p ow e r m e n t .

“In this gala dinner I will make

sure that my pledge goes directly

to women,” the minister said.

She said many people vied for

s a t u ra t e d markets such as road

construction tenders, but the

greater economy was in the

R300bn informal sector.

She urged women to shift their

mindset by realising that the

lipstick they wore was money,

and so was a plate of food.

“I know that in Komani there

is a fashion designer who is

celebrated nationally.

“I do not know what you are

doing to support the national

brand to create space in the

fashion industry.

“You are quick to buy fake

Gucci brands at a high price. Yet

we think we can deliver

economic freedom. That can

never work.”

She encouraged people to

support local businesses, as

buying international brands took

money out of the South African

economy and did not create jobs.

The minister encouraged local

people to start their own design

labels and plough back in their

areas to provide taxes for roads to

be built, infrastructure to be

maintained, energy stabilised and

jobs created.

This could only be possible

when people chose to be

deliberate, she said.

“It is money that is going to be

coming to your community to

build infrastructure and create

jobs.

“This is the only way that is

going to work to change the status

quo.

“One of the things we spoke

of in the ANC conference was to

enhance our capacity in

manufacturing.

“But what are we doing

practically to make sure the

factories which were closed

down are reopened, with people

who have skills to run them?

“It is us who have the buying

power in the economy.

“It was about 20,000 women

66 years ago who made a

decision knowing what was at

stake.

“We have policies and a

criminal justice system that

everyone is confident in but is not

working for us as women.

“Women will continue to be

excluded in their own economy.

“How many women do we

have as municipal managers, as

CFOs? I am not talking about the

mayors who are public

r e p r e s e n t a t ive s .”

She asked how many had

interrogated the policy

conference recommendations by

the social transmission and

economic transmission clusters.

Abrahams said the

recommendations to be applied,

had to work for women.

The minister said wo m e n

needed to introduce proposals

that would shape the direction the

country should take.

If women were not taking up

the space, it would lead to

continual chaos in the country,

she said.

One of the things we spoke of in the ANC

conference was to enhance our capacity in

manufacturing. But what are we doing

practically to make sure the factories which

were closed down are reopened, with people

who have skills to run them?

New computers must

still be delivered

ZINTLE BOBELO

The Enoch Mgijima Local Municipality

traffic department offices in Owen Street

will soon return to normal services after

the building had to be refurbished.

Municipal spokesperson Lonwabo Kowa said

the work had been completed and the

department was n ow awaiting new computers

from the department of transport.

The contractor appointed to refurbish the

office after it was gutted by a fire in October

2021, redid the roof, ceiling and partitioning,

electrical work, air conditioning, door fixing,

painting, glazing and floor covering.

The fire was reported to authorities,

according to Kowa.

“This incident led to a situation where

services which include bookings of driving and

learners licences, renewal of vehicle licences

and roadworthy tests were halted,” Kowa said.

“Customers were redirected to other

municipal offices in Tarkastad, Whittlesea and

Molteno.

“To assist customers in the interim, the traffic

department took a limited number in the Komani

office and used the department of transport

offices to process customer services.”

Portfolio head for public safety Zukiswa

Ralane said: “The situation led to a dire loss of

revenue for the municipality and insufficient

services for customers.

“We are now waiting for the department of

transport to send us new computers with the

relevant systems and everything will be back to

normal. We have also beefed-up security in the

building to protect our assets and our employees

from intruders.”

Kowa said an announcement on when

normal services would resume, would be made

soon.

The 20th Annual Syferpan

Hereford and Angus Bull

Sale was held on Spring

Day, September 1, at

Providence Farm just beyond

the Game Park.

For many years, now in its

20th year, this sale has drawn

keen buyers from all over the

Chris Hani district and the

whole of SA who are keen to

draw on the genetics of these

outstanding bulls. There are

always a good number of heifers

in calf on sale alongside their

big brothers.

Local community member

Lawrence Moorcroft has won

many accolades from the

Hereford and Angus societies

for the quality of his stock in

both the bulls and cows.

This year, the whole event

was organised by James

Moorcroft, who has been

working with his father for some

time. A delighted Moorcroft

senior was full of praise for how

James had brought in new ideas

and ran a very successful sale.

On offer were 20 Hereford

Bulls, 15 Angus Bulls and 30

EDITORIAL OPINION

Parents grateful

schools sport back

It is hard to overstate the

importance of sport when we

know the social and health

benefits that come with it.

Sport helps people learn skills

that are transferrable to other

areas of one’s life. However, the

sporting fraternity suffered a huge

blow when the SA government

last year suspend contact sport in

schools after the rise in C ov i d - 19

cases due to the pandemic.

This was a bitter pill to

swallow for athletes and avid

players and also a tough one for

local supporters. Fast-forward a

year later, and the situation

steadily returned to normal with

everyone back on the sports

fields, full of excitement.

There was more jubilation for

high schools in Mlungisi when

Phululutho Activities director

Phumelele Hlati and his team

launched the PH Splash netball

series and the rugby and soccer

league tournaments to help r e v ive

the sporting culture in schools.

At the final matches when the

overall winners were announced,

Hlati said he had been surprised

by the enthusiasm shown by the

schools, with players more than

willing to participate. Coaches

praised the programme,

highlighting the implications of

halting sports due to the virus.

Often parents have to make

payments for children to travel

and participate in sporting

festivals outside their hometown.

At some point, one rugby

parent, when asked why she spent

so much money and time running

around for her boy to play rugby,

gave this response: “I pay for

those moments when my boy

becomes so tired he feels like

quitting but does not; I pay for the

opportunity that he will have to

make lifelong friendships; I pay

for the chance that he may have

amazing coaches who teach him

that rugby is not just about game

plans but about life; I pay for my

child to learn to be disciplined; I

pay for him to learn to take care of

his body; I pay for him to learn to

work with others and be a proud,

supportive, kind and respectful

team member; I pay he will learn

to deal with disappointments,

when he does not get that try he

hoped for, or dropped the ball

despite having practiced a

thousand times, but still gets up

and is determined to do his BEST

next time; I pay for my boy to

learn to make and accomplish

goals; I pay for him to learn it

takes hours of hard work and

practice to create a champion,

and that success does not happen

overnight; I pay so he can be on

the pitch instead of in front of a

s c r e e n .”

In conclusion, she said, this

was a great investment. She paid

for the opportunities sport

provided for her child, a sport that

will help him develop attributes

that serve him well throughout his

life, in turn giving him the chance

to bless the lives of others.

Let us thank those who

continue to be a positive

influence in young people’s lives,

those who give their time to

ensure these young people give

their level best in whatever they

are trying to pursue, families,

coaches, schools, workplaces,

friends and the rest of the

community who continue to

value sport and understand the

benefits of being involved.

QQ: What do you like

about your job?

AWhat I like about this job

is that we are actually

helping people with their

health.

Q: What is the most

important thing you have

learnt in your career?

A: The most important thing I

have learnt is that introducing

a new product is a big

challenge because the next

person will not be as open to

the idea as the last person.

So it is very important to

just understand that not

everyone will want to try

something different, even

when they need it.

Q: Where did you grow up

and what is your favourite

childhood memory?

A: I grew up in Ugie in the

North East Cape forests and

Sada Township in the Hewu

area. I was in-between both

places.

My favourite childhood

memory is meeting up with

friends to go and climb the

YO U R VOICE opinions on the street

nearest mountain and watch

the sunset. That used to bring

me so much joy.

Q: How do you relax?

A: I recently started working

on adult stress-relief colouring

books and I listen to HZ

frequencies while colouring.

It is so calming.

Q: What is your motto in life?

A: “Hope for the best but

expect the worst, in that way

you will never be

McConaughey

Q: What is your favourite

book?

A: Brother Odd by Dean

Koontz. I read it when I was

on a very long bus ride from

the Eastern Cape to the North

West and it was so satisfying.

Q: Define your personal

style?

A: I am a “plain Jane” but I

like nice things. I will wear

the most basic outfit but make

it look extravagant with the

jewellery I own.

KOMANI WEATHER

As we steadily approach the

summer season, we are in for a

decidedly warmer weekend.

Fr i d ay ’s temperature will present a

high 28°C, sunny and warm

weather conditions. Saturday’s

temperature will go up with a

maximum of 32°C. It will, however,

become windier and warmer.

S u n d ay ’s weather will remain warm

reaching a 27°C and locals should

expect areas of high clouds in the

morning. After the warmer

weekend, the temperature will

return to cloudy and cooler

conditions at the beginning of the

next week. -

It’s almost the end of

the year and The Rep

to the streets of Komani

to ask residents if they

had achieved what

they had hoped to.

Sinesipho Pike

from Grey Street

Not exactly. I think the

year was a bit fast for

me but I managed to

hold things together

here and there but not

according to plan. I

told myself I was going

to study this year but I

did not. I got a piece

job so I am holding up.

Nkosinathi Maseti

from Ezibeleni

I did not succeed in all

my plans but managed

to do some. In faith, I

believe and hope I’ll

manage to get other

goals accomplished by

the end of this year.

Aviwe Poswa

from Railway

I’ve achieved some of

the things but Iam still

trying to accomplish

the rest before the year

finally ends.

Alejandri Venter

from Top town

I started exercising,

which was one of my

goals, to lose a bit of

weight. I am trying to

spend more time with

my daughter because

time goes by really fast.

In a blink of an eye

the day has gone and

every day there are

always more things to

do. You sometimes

forget to make time for

yourself and your

family and it is all

about work.

Charissa Botha

from Bergsig

I do not think you ever

t reach your final goal.

If you reach today’s

goal, there is always

one for tomorrow.

There is a quote I

like by Winston

Churchill: “Success is

not final, failure is not

fatal: it is the courage

to continue that

c o u n t s .”

There is no final

goal in life, there is

always that next thing

that you have to chase.

New plan for school book clubs

Aim is to keep

isiXhosa alive

ABONGILE

S O L U N D WA N A

The Queenstown Library

plans to collaborate with

the department of

education to establish book

clubs in local schools as part of

its reading programme.

This year’s recent national

Book Week reading competition

was conducted in isiXhosa,

during which grade 7 pupils

from Edlelweni and St Theresa’s

Primary schools read aloud at

the town library.

The programme’s objective is

to promote the reading of

mother tongue languages

among pupils, which, after

multiracial schools were

introduced in the country, is

starting to fade away.

The reading competition was

won by Edlelweni Primary

School pupil Siphelele

Mbovane, who beautifully

captured the mood of Umgidi

Ka m g e b u z a, a tale from a book

of short stories.

A public debate was also

incorporated, in which grade 10

pupils from Royal Academy

High School participated.

All the readers and debaters

READ AND DEBATE: Readers and debaters were awarded certificates at the recent national Book Week event at the

Queenstown Library Picture: ABONGILE SOLUNDWANA

were awarded certificates and

gifts. The competition was

adjudicated by department of

education officials.

Queenstown librarian

Thembi Mashiya said: “We are

promoting reading and literacy

which is quite important.

“We are encouraging pupils

and adults to become better

readers for them to gain useful

k n ow l e d g e .”

Though the district’s Book

Week had been held in

Mcheula in Whittlesea, where

district schools participated,

Mashiya said staff at the

Queenstown Library felt the

need to conduct their own

p r o g ra m m e .

Librarian Jacky Tys said the

programme should not merely

be a national Book Week event

but librarians should also visit

schools to observe the reading

ability of pupils.

“We should conduct reading

regularly to build the

confidence of school pupils.

“Teachers must give us 45

minutes to interact and read to

pupils in schools,” Tys said.

“They must make

arrangements with us to come

and form book clubs.”

She said this would lead to a

greater impact among young

pupils.

Young Siphelele said she was

very happy to have won the

competition.

“My isiXhosa teacher,

Vusumzi Nqundwana, had

taught me how to read.

“My dream is to one day

become an isiXhosa language

t e a ch e r.”

Nqundwana said being

informed about the programme

early would give teachers more

time to prepare and get more

pupils to be a part of the

competition.

“When pupils see readers

returning with certificates and

gifts, they will be interested in

coming next time,” she said.

ARE WE BETTER

OFF OR NOT?

Open Day

University of South Africa

(Unisa)

Eastern Cape Region

September 7 marks the 30th a n n ive r s a r y

of the Bhisho massacre. For the benefit of

those who do not know much about it,

this took place on the road between Qonce

and Bhisho, when 29 people were shot dead

by the Ciskei soldiers under Brigadier Oupa

Gqozo.

People lost their loved ones that day and

many still carry both physical and emotional

scars from that massacre, and many others.

Growing up in the 70s and 80s, we knew

many stories of activists dying under

mysterious circumstances and yet no-one

“was to blame”, as the apartheid government

used to say.

The Sanlam building in Gqeberha was

notorious for this, activists would “jump” to

their death there on a regular basis and some

would succumb to their injuries from the

torture they endured from the Security Branch.

Yet the official verdict would be “no one is to

blame”, as if those people simply beat

themselves to death. Many families still do not

know what happened to their loved ones who

disappeared or died in mysterious

circumstances during the apartheid years.

November 17 1985 holds a very significant

and painful place in the history of Komani and

its surrounding towns. This is the day the

apartheid police opened fire on residents who

had a meeting at Nonzwakazi Church in

Mlungisi. When the dust had settled, 14

people lay dead, about 22 were injured and

scores of others traumatised. These painful

events highlight the fact that the democracy

we are enjoying today did not come easily and

peacefully. Blood was shed, lives were lost and

others ruined. Judging by where we are today

as a community, as a country and as a people,

have we honoured those who fell and those

who sacrificed their youth and their lives for

this freedom by improving the lives of the

oppressed and down trodden?

Do those in power care enough to bother

themselves to do so? Do they stay awake at

IN TOUCH

Phumelele P Hlati

night trying to solve the many problems

afflicting the poor of this country? Have they,

tragically, gone numb and simply decided to

pretend not to see the plight of the millions

who put them in p ow e r ?

Do they even think this is a priority or have

some other concerns taken over their

consciences and they are too busy with those,

instead?

Has our democracy given birth to ravenous

hyenas who only care about feeding on the

carcass of what is left of South African society?

I cannot answer those question but you and

your fellow citizens can. All you have to do is

to look around you and see whether there is a

gap between what things could be and what

they are.

How big is that gap and do you see any

attempt by those in a position to do so to close

that gap? In 2021 we had an opportunity to

elect leaders and we did, so how is this going?

Did we vote in a way that benefits us now?

Are you happy with your choice? In 2024 we

will be given another opportunity to vote, but

that is a topic for another day.

Unisa invites all prospective

students and currently registered students to an

Over the past 30 years, Get

determination in building a

successful educational

institution for the youth of

Ko m a n i .

The founding school,

Queenstown Get Ahead

Primary (QGAP), based at 21

Faraday Road, Queendustria,

was establised in 1992 by

Jeanette Crawford, with 26

children enrolled in the pres

ch o o l .

QGAP was registered as an

independent school in 1993

and continued to grow by a

grade each year.

In 1998, the school

relocated to Queendustria,

with 2004 heralding the

opening of the Whittlesea Get

Ahead Project (WGAP)

school, with 120 pupils in its

foundation phase.

Get Ahead College opened

in 2007 with 105 pupils in

grades 10 and 11.

The schools continue to

When deciding between housing options,

it is important to compare what is

available within your given price range. In

certain price ranges, it is possible to rent a

home with greater floorspace than to

purchase the home.

A bond on a R1m home amounts to

R9,000 per month.

“In the major metropoles in SA, it can

be challenging to find a spacious home

for below R1m.

“Our latest Housing Report revealed

that the nationwide average price of

freehold homes is R1,422,901and

R1,049,437 for sectional titles. This

makes renting possibly a more appealing

option for those who have less than

R9,000 per month to spend on housing,”

says Regional Director and CEO of

RE/MAX of Southern Africa, Adrian

Goslett.

Nadia Aucamp, Broker/Manager of

RE/MAX All Stars says that in the Alberton

area “you will be lucky to find a

freestanding house for R1m, but you will

definitely be able to find a two- or threebedroom

townhouse of about 100m2.

The units might have a small garden,

although the bigger two-bedroom units

will be on the first floor of the complex.”

On the rental side, she explains that

you will be able to rent a slightly bigger

120m2 townhouse or small home for

R9,000 p/m.

“The houses will be in Mayberry Park,

Brackendowns or General Alberts Park

area, usually offering three bedrooms and

one bathroom with one living area. If you

are looking in a complex, you might find

a modern two-bedroom unit in Meyersdal

“These are the types of

The mayor said they were

happy some of the criminals

had received longer sentences.

“Those who murdered

women in Tsembeyi were

sentenced. The man who

educate just under 1,000

pupils across three campuses.

Get Ahead Schools’ motto

of “where every child feels

worthy and validated”, along

with its values of respect,

citizens of society.

“We cultivate and develop

an entrepreneurial mindset

and approach to thinking, that

actively develops talent.”

From humble beginnings

and with the assistance of The

Leacock Foundation in

Toronto, Canada, Get Ahead

Schools have grown into

formidable institutions in the

or New Redruth with one bathroom and a

possible garden.”

In Germiston, Au Camp explains that

you will be able to buy a house for R1m

in Elsburg or Tedstoneville.

“These houses will offer three

bedrooms with one bathroom and one

living area. When looking at the rental

side, you could find a similar house in

Elsburg, Testoneville and Mimosa Park for

R9,000 p/m.”

For R1m, she added that buyers could

also have the option to buy a modern

townhouse inside the Stone Arch

Complex with three bedrooms and two

bathrooms or a two-bedroom, twobathroom

unit on the ground floor.

“The rentals for these units will be

slightly cheaper than your monthly

repayment. Rentals available in smaller

complexes will offer three bedroom and

two bathrooms but these will not be as

modern as in the Stone Arch Complex,”

she explained.

Chahid Haigh, Broker/Owner of

RE/MAX Elite explains that a rental in the

Southern Suburbs of Cape Town, “R9,000

will afford the home seeker an average

home with two to three bedrooms, a

garage on an average sized plot of about

500m2, situated usually north of the M5

(basically Ottery and surrounds).

Further South, towards False Bay, one

may find a starter home with two

bedrooms on a small plot with parking for

one or two cars or a two-bedroom

apartment with 1 open parking bay,” he

explained.

Haigh adds that the homes in these

areas sell from R1.5m and up.

“I was also crying after

being chased away from

Ezingqolweni. We would like

to thank the late Chief

Ngangomhlaba Mathanzima.

“The people had immense

anger and they took it out on

us. Some of the people who

would not allow us to enter are

With Leacock’s support, all

QGAP is in its fifth year of

“Get Ahead’s story is one of

Annelise Pieterse, operational

QGAP have collaborated

Housing options for R9,000 per month

“One could find an apartment for

close to R1m, but it will be a small,

modern apartment without a garden,

open parking for one vehicle.”

“The difference between buying for

R9,000 and renting for the same amount

is that R9,000 p/m on a bond equates to

another R2,500 p/m on rates and utilities.

Haigh mentions that rental properties

in the R9,000 price range are usually let

within a day or before it gets to market on

account of the waiting list of good

prospective tenants.

“Tenants experience huge frustration

because of this type of demand. The

sooner a tenant can move into the buying

space, the better because house prices are

moving rapidly out of the affordability

range for most, and is further exacerbated

by the ever-increasing interest rates,”

Haigh said.

When weighing up the options,

buyers are reminded that purchasing a

home is an investment while renting a

home is purely an expense.

“Purchasing property is expensive but,

as an appreciating asset, it will help to

generate future wealth. Finding an

affordable rental while saving up to afford

to purchase a home is a wise approach for

those who are unable to afford the

purchase right now. Speak to a local

RE/MAX agent to find out more about

property prices in your area so that you

know how much you will need to save,”

Goslett concluded.

Valgas FC work way

back to regional league

ABONGILE

S O L U N D WA N A

Ko m a n i ’s Valgas FC made a

comeback to the regional

league after beating

Ntabethemba-based team

Golden Chiefs by 2-0 at the

league playoffs which took

place in Ezibeleni on Saturday.

Valgas redeemed themselves

after a tough regional league

season in 2020/2021 saw them

being relegated.

However, the Komani team

remained steady throughout the

Local Football Association (LFA)

season by winning all their

league games.

In the round robin games,

Valgas won by 3-0 against

Juventus by forfeit and then

drew 0-0 against Soul Buddyz.

In this year’s playoffs, seven

teams from the Enoch Mgijima

region participated, with the

games split between the

Ezibeleni and Mabato stadiums

in Mabuyaze.

Group A teams which

competed against each other in

the stream were Soul Buddyz,

from Ezibeleni, Ilinge Aces,

Juventus, from Sada, and Valgas,

from Komani.

Meanwhile, stream B was

composed of Golden Chiefs,

Dlabantu, from Machibini, and

Whittlesea FC, from Dongwe.

Valgas FC president

Phumelele Hlati said his teams

worked hard to earn the

position.

“We completed the season

without losing a single game.

“It was a well-deserved win

because of the hard work we

put in. We are prepared to take

the team to the next level.

“We have been in the

regional league before, we

know what to expect because

we were successful people.

“We see no reason why we

cannot remain for the next few

years without experiencing any

hiccups.

“We are busy with the

preparations for the next season.

“We have 80% of the players

we want for the new season,”

Hlati said.

The previous season’s

playoffs were won by 12 Aces,

from Molteno, which is still

managing in the league.

Enoch Mgijima LFA

secretary, Melikhaya Mdingi,

said the standard of football wa s

very competitive and that none

of the teams could be

categorised as underdogs.

“This shows the progress in

our football and that the quality

of development is very good

because our league is Under 19

p r o m o t i o n a l .”

He said the regional league

and LFA league kick-off were

just around the corner.

“We are busy with

preparations, the leagues start

between August and September.

On Sunday, at 10am, we will be

having our meeting to appoint a

date for the LFA to start.

“Last Sunday, a meeting was

held by regional league officials

on when the regional league

will kickstart,” added Mdingi.

Dumke needs

home, not car

MAXWELL LEVINE

After sweeping the floor at the

Eastern Cape Sport and

Recreation Achievers Awards

held in Gqeberha recently when

she was named the 2021 Sports

Woman of the Year and Sports

Star of the Year, Lusanda Dumke

asked that her prize of a brandnew

VW Polo be exchanged so

that she could build a house for

her family instead.

Although Dumke was

extremely grateful for the

awards and the prize, the 26-

year-old Springbok star, who

lives in a shack in Mdantsane,

made it clear she and her family

need a decent roof over their

heads first, rather than a flashy

c a r.

Her decision clearly places

emphasis on the need for the

country’s female athletes to earn

a proper living through sport

and receive the same

renumeration as their male

counterparts.

She has informed the

sponsors, Jomo Sports, about

her wish.

“In this case, I had to

prioritise. Of course we need a

car, but building the house for

my family was the main

p r i o r i t y,” Dumke said.

“It is not the right time for me

to have a car while we are

staying in a shack.

“The vehicle is muchneeded

at home where I live

with my 85-year-old bedridden

grandmother and partly

disabled 51-year-old aunt, due

to a stroke that she suffered in

2016.

“But I had to get my priorities

right and build a house first,”

she said.

The Dumke family live at

Masibambane informal

settlement in Mdantsane.

Dumke was raised by her

mother in a small village in

Cebe in Centane.

Her father passed away 10

days before she was born and

she lost her mother when she

was 12 years old.

She moved to East London a

year later and was introduced to

rugby by her coach.

She was an ardent athlete

and netball player.

But soon rugby took over

and she never looked back.

She became the Border

Under-16 captain in 2011 and

continued to hold that role for

another year before representing

SA in the U18 7’s and U20 15’s

team a year later.

She continued to play for the

Border women’s team and was

called up to the Springbok

Select team in 2017 and the

Springbok Women’s senior team

in 2018.

The adversities in her life

have not deterred her but made

her stronger. There is grace and

determination in the way she

carries herself.

On the field she carries the

ball with purpose, and is often

difficult to stop with the tryline

within her grasp.

Dumke has become a

leader, an inspiration and a fine

ambassador for the women’s

game.

The Border captain also led

the national team, and her star

keeps growing.

She is part of the 7s team that

will do duty at the Rugby World

Cup 7s to be held in Cape Town

from September 7-9.

She is also part of the

Springbok Women 15’s team.

Border Icons in Sport to host gala event

GO CORRESPONDENT

The Border Icons in Sport (BIS)

aspires to give back and

improve the quality of life of

disadvantaged communities in

the Border area.

As such, on Saturday

October 29, BIS will be hosting

a gala event at the Summit

Lifestyle Centre in East London

to honour local sporting icons

from the past and present.

Garth van Heerden, the

NPO’s spokesperson, has

already made inroads in

organising school sports and

contributions to struggling rugby

clubs as well as individual

sportspeople from the region.

With the help of the Pretoriabased

Institute of Sport (IOS),

BIS has also facilitated clubs and

schools with capacity-building

accredited courses for 25 sports

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

The next group of

administrators are preparing for

their round of training, which is

scheduled to take place soon.

Athletes who will be

honoured at the gala event are

local heroes such as Bianca

Woods from Parkside East

London, and Neil Jackson from

Komani, who both represented

SA at the Commonwealth

Games last month.

Also to be honoured are

Qonce brothers Jaydon and

Jordan Hendrickse, together

with Lukhanya Am and

Makozola Mapimpi, and many

more.

Some of the community

builders of yesteryear will also

be honoured.

The theme of the gala event

is premised on reviving the spirit

of sport, and BIS plans to further

this goal over a three-year

period.

The gala dinner will be cohosted

by Meryl Szolkiewics,

from Survivor SA fame, who

grew up in Buffalo Flats and also

has roots in Komani and Qonce.

She will be joined by

sportsman Kevin Bennett, who

is now based in Johannesburg

but who also hails from Buffalo

Flats.

The guest speaker for the

evening will be John O’C o n n o r,

who is originally from

Schorneville in Qonce, and is

now a very successful social

entrepreneur in Pretoria.

Funding is a major challenge

for the NPO, as well as photos

and memorabilia, and it is

appealing for assistance in this

regard.

The NPO will be hosting a

fundraising Golf Day at the West

Bank Golf Club on October 7.

Inter national

medal for Hani

ABONGILE

S O L U N D WA N A

Long jump athlete

Nikithemba Hani made

Chris Hani District proud

after returning with a long jump

silver medal from the

Confederation of University and

Colleges Sports Associations

(Cucsa) games in Lilongwe,

Malawi this past week.

Hani, from Komani, secured

silver with a distance of 7.55m,

falling short of receiving a gold

medal by only 2cm. He also

exceeded his previous personal

best of 7.49m. Out of the six

jumps he made, five were valid

and one was considered a foul.

The first line-up consisted of

fifteen athletes, but only eight of

them were able to go through to

the final round. The countries

copmpeting were SA,

Botswana, Zambia, Angola,

Malawi, Mozambique,

Zimbabwe, Lesotho and

S wa z i l a n d .

Right after his off-season

break, Hani said he had spent

time at the gym with less than a

month to prepare for the games.

His love for long jump began

in grade 9 at Tarkastad High

School. It continued when he

moved to Queen’s College in

grade 10 and to Varsity College

where he is studying for his

bachelor in education in

Gqeberha.

Reacting to his triumph, he

Last Saturday, 80 people ran,

walked and jogged the course of

the Komani parkrun at the

Queenstown Golf Club.

Eleven happy regular

parkrunners recorded personal

best times while three other

said: “It feels great because not

anyone can just stand on a

podium on an international

stage. Competing at that level is

a huge achievement and having

a medal gives me great

happiness as it is not just any

medal but an international

[one]. I am proud of myself.

“I had a rough season at the

beginning of the year and to

close it on a high is such a

blessing.

“It has triggered me

massively, I am hungry for more.

I have never competed in any

international competition. This

was the first of many.”

On the day of the event he

said the weather being on his

side had contributed to events

running smoothly.

He believes the Cucsa

games serve as a building block

and the beginning of an athlete’s

professional career as most great

SA athletes flourished from

there.

Hani is currently working on

attaining 7.70m, but the greater

goal is to achieve an 8m jump.

His next mission is to work

to qualify for the World Student

Games next year in China,

which he plans to qualify for by

competing in SA competitions.

“I would like to thank my

family, my coach Jenny Kingwill

for getting me in shape in such a

short period of time, the Eastern

Cape Academy of Sport for

assisting me in every possible

way and making sure I perform

at my utmost, and Varsity

College. I will strive by all

means to keep them proud,”

said Hani.
