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

route if

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.

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.

FACE 2 FACE with
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
/ Andisiwe Busakwe Promoter and marketer
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
d i s a p p o i n t e d .”–Matthew
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
intern Chuma Joni took
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.

Over the past 30 years, Get
Ahead Schools have
epitomised the power of
passion, grit and
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
child who was being raped.
“These are the types of
incidents we are dealing with.
In Machubeni an old man
raped six young children.”
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,
honesty and love, sets it apart.
The pupils’ wellness is
taken care of by in-house
social worker Nangamso
Xashimba, a Get Ahead
alumni.

strategic Vision for Excellence:

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
some of those who were

innovation in education.
With Leacock’s support, all
three schools have recently
installed solar power to
provide uninterrupted
teaching to pupils and ensure
s u s t a i n a b i l i t y.
QGAP is in its fifth year of
exploration and integration of
coding and robotics into the
daily timetable, introducing
and strengthening skills
required to be successful in the
fourth industrial revolution.
“Get Ahead’s story is one of
hope, innovation and
commitment to excellence – a
story that needs to be told and

and privilege to lead a
dynamic team, who strives to
make a better future for all
who are placed in our care,”
Annelise Pieterse, operational
head of QGAP said.
QGAP have collaborated
with various well-known
artists who have produced
beautiful works of art, which
will be up for auction with
auctioneer Marc Bradley on
Friday September 9, in
celebration of their 30th
birthday. For further
information, contact the
school on 045-858-8199.
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.
