Kart champion off to Portugal

Help support ‘S A’s

future F1 driver’

FAITH MTWANA

Young Caleb Odendaal, an

award- winning karting

champion, is preparing to

compete in tournaments across the

world, despite only being 10 years old.

Caleb is busy gearing up to take part

in the Rotax Max Challenge Grand

Finals in Portugal in November.

He qualified for the finals by

winning the National Mini Max

Championship and claiming his

second African Open Title.

These titles earned him a place in

the national team to participate in the

‘Olympics of Karting’ in Portugal.

Caleb’s passion for karting started

when he was six years old. After a

family friend let him try it out, his father

noticed his potential and bought him

his own kart.

”I tried my hand at karting at age six

and immediately fell in love with racing

and the feeling it brought,” Caleb said.

“A few days later my dad bought me

my own kart and I started competing at

my local club in East London.

“Since then nothing much has

changed. I love to compete and I

b e l i e ve hard work will always be

rewarded as my short career has

s h ow n .”

He has competed at regional level

in Gauteng, considered to be the most

competitive regional championship in

SA.

He finished as runner-up in the

regional championships and topplaced

rookie with an impressive five

victories and 14 podiums.

To attend the tournament in

Portugal, he needs R400,000 to cover

the travel and accommodation costs for

a team of three.

Robbie du Rand, of RDR Events, has

assisted the young champion in his

various fundraising initiatives to raise

money for the trip.

“We are working to help Caleb get

to Portugal with the Golf Day and also

running a fundraiser on Quicket, wh e r e

you can donate any amount.

“He has to come up with R400k

and as a fellow local we need to get

behind him. I’ve had Caleb on the RDR

SHOW on YouTube, he is a true

champion and inspiration. I truly

b e l i e ve he will be a Formula 1 wo r l d

champion one day,” said Du Rand.

The Golf Day on September 30 will

be held at the Olivewood Golf Estate.

Four ball is R800 per person. To

enter, contact Nola at 081-316-9020.

HONOURED GUESTS

DISPATCH 150: On 10 September, Daily Dispatch turned 150

years old and is among the oldest institutions in South Africa. On

10 September 1872, the Daily Dispatch, then known as The East

London Dispatch, published its first edition with mostly adverts on

the front page and a lead story about an assailant stealing

cheques from the post office. The Dispatch has evolved over the

years and has been under the leadership of many editors who

have contributed to its success. Current editor, Cheri-Ann James,

is seen here with Premier of the Eastern Cape Oscar Mabuyane at

the Dispatch’s birthday celebrations on 8 September 2022. The

Daily Dispatch invited more than 400 guests from government,

business, civil society and the sporting fraternity to a red carpet

event at the East London International Convention Centre. A

documentary titled ‘Power of the Word’ was premiered at the

event, depicting the journalism that uncovered Steve Biko’s death

in 1977 at the hands of security police by then editor Donald

More parents alleging their

children being bullied online

TAMMY FRAY

Since the GO! published its

coverage of cyber bullying at

schools in East London on

September 8, another parent

has come forward alleging her

daughter has been targeted

online.

A local mother said she

became aware of the cyber

bullying when her daughter

was made the target of sexist

and inflammatory posts

published by an Instagram

account called @el_hoere_.

She said that similarly to

the previous parent, her

daughter had been the target

of online abuse before and

that it had severely impacted

her academic and social

d e ve l o p m e n t .

The perpetrator of the

previous online bullying

incident was identified, yet

social workers could only

advise that parents implement

harsher restrictions to curtail

online activity. When the

bullying attempts resurfaced,

she reached out to other

mothers for support.

“We just decided as

mothers that enough is enough

and we took it to the

authorities and we are still

waiting to hear the outcome of

their investigations,” she said.

She further added: “It is so

easy for these claims to spread

far and wide online. That

initial bullying incident she

experienced still affects her life

today and she still lives out the

consequences of what people

have labelled her as online.

“Social media labels you

for life and now this latest

bullying proves how true that

is. People online won’t let you

grow beyond the label they

give you — you always have to

be defined by the past and that

is what is happening to my

ch i l d .”

Media law expert Carla de

Beer said: “You [parents] can

approach the school if it is a

child in the same school as

your child who is initiating the

bullying.

“Kids need to understand

that according to the Child

Justice Act, you have full

criminal capacity from the age

of 14.

“The Cybercrimes Act

also states that if you send any

message that threatens

someone, that says you are

going to hurt them or invite

violence or threaten to

damage their property, you are

liable to a fine or six months’

imprisonment.

“You [parents] can obtain a

protection order in

accordance with the

Protection from

Harassment Act as well, if the

bullying or abuse does not

s t o p ,” she said.

Representative from the

department of basic education

Mzi Mtima said the

department was in the process

of completing a digital/online

learning guide that would

touch on cyber bullying.

But in the interim, schools

are advised to strengthen their

internal ICT policies and

ensure that counsellors are on

hand to assisted students

experiencing online bullying.

Considering that the

content posted from the

accounts draws from sexism,

rape culture and stereotypes,

Anelisa Jezile, a social worker

from Masimanyane Women’s

rights international, advises

that schools and parents

strengthen comprehensive

sexuality education as well as

initiate school policies that

condemn violence online and

that is enforced fairly so

everyone, from teachers to

students, take full

responsibility for their actions.

Memories of a young Princess Elizabeth in East London in 1947

HER ROYAL HIGHNESS: The Queen of England

with her family on their 1947 trip to East London,

South Africa which is recorded here in archived

images from the East London Museum. The then

20-year-old Princess Elizabeth, accompanied only

by a lady-in-waiting, performed the opening

ceremony of, and gave her name to East London’s

then-new dry dock which until this day is still

called the Princess Elizabeth dock. The Queen died

on 8 September 2022 at her home in Balmoral,

Scotland. She ascended to the throne at the age of

25 in 1953 and was the longest reigning monarch -

Nothing new in predictable ‘Beast’

FAITH MTWANA

Idris Elba is one of a handful of

brilliant British actors who are

often mistaken for being

American because of how well

they are able to mask their

English accents.

In his latest film, Beast, Elba

once again plays an American

man, however, masking his

accent seems to be the only

remarkable thing about this film.

Whether you’re an avid film

enthusiast or not, yo u ’ve

definitely seen this one before.

An American family dealing

with some kind of drama goes

on a vacation to Africa.

They go on a safari, t ra g e dy

strikes, and they get stuck in

their vehicle and end up having

to fight off wild lions, all while

having petty arguments along

the way, that ultimately results

in a closer bond, and a future

trip back to Africa.

A quick Google search will

bring up at least 10 movies with

this exact premise.

Beast brings nothing new to

the table. None of the storylines

are fleshed out and the plot has

no interesting story arc.

The dead mother trope is

GO!PEOPLE REVIEW

Untold Documentary

MONSTROUS FAIL: Newest

movie release, ‘Beast’,

starring, Idris Elba, does not

live up to the media hype.

Picture: SUPPLIED

overplayed and the bits and

pieces mentioned about her do

nothing to advance the

storyline.

The film stars a few South

African actors, namely Sharlto

Copley, who has played the role

of a South African in multiple

American films. There are a few

other familiar faces, however,

their brief moments on screen

are forgetful to say the least.

The manufactured tension

between the father and his

daughter feels forced, with

many cringe-worthy moments.

A daughter blaming her

father for her mother dying of

cancer feels like they had no

real conflict so had to pick

anything they could come up

with. Not to mention the many

stupid moves the characters

make throughout the movie,

including leaving the car and

heading towards the danger.

At one point the daughter

even blames her father for not

packing enough food and water,

as if he was somehow supposed

to predict tragedy would strike.

The film’s only saving grace,

if you can appreciate it, is the

c i n e m a t o g ra p hy.

Taking plunge in lockdown pays

This week we chat to Stuart Robertson

FAITH MTWANA

QWhat services does your

business offer?

AWe repair swimming pools,

Jacuzzis and koi ponds. We

renovate, install and maintain

pools.

Where in East London do you

o p e ra t e ?

I am currently based in

Chiselhurst and I work mostly

there because it is very central

and I live in that area.

We also cover most of town

as well.

How did you get started in this

line of work?

I joined the pool industry in

2012 after working with

appliances for a few years.

After I was retrenched in

May 2020 due to the extended

Covid lockdown, I started on my

own by just doing maintenance

and minor repairs to pools, then

after a few months my

renovations took off.

What skills or qualifications are

needed in your line of work?

It is important to have good

communication skills to deal

with your customers and staff.

One must also have skills in

plumbing, electrical work,

building and chemicals.

What sets you apart from other

pool services in East London?

There are so many of us in a

small city and also lots of

i n d iv i d u a l s .

We do the same thing but

we mostly work together. Some

of us do work on projects handin-hand

at times.

What are some of the

challenges you deal with in

your business?

One of the biggest challenges

we face is loadshedding, which

slows our productivity down.

The economy has also

affected us. We also struggle

with high fuel costs, water

restrictions and sometimes the

odd non-payments where we

end up having to take legal

action.

What are some of your goals for

your business?

My goal is to expand one day by

investing in vehicles. I would

also like to start getting contracts

with schools and also provide

more work for my staff so they

can put food on the table.

What do you think your

business needs to reach the

next level, the goals you’ve set?

We need contracts with the

schools and more consistent

projects each month.

Is there anything else you

would like our readers to know

about your business? Where

can people reach you?

Apart from pools, we repair and

paint damaged walls, and do

paving of patios.

I am fortunate to have a good

team of skilled workers.

Also, the maintaining of

pools is done by an experienced

technician as I used to maintain

pools for former Eastern Cape

Premier’s Pools when I was at

another firm. Whatsapp/call

Peep at fine art students’ talents

Miniature work

part of exhibit

FAITH MTWANA

The recent Peep Show

Exhibition at the Ann

Bryant Art Gallery

included stunning pieces

created by Lovedale FET

College fine art students as part

of their practical work.

The students were presented

with the opportunity to create

ceramic and mandala pieces for

the exhibition.

They were guided by their

lecturers, Natasha

Bezuidenhout, who teaches

painting, and Nosikhumbuzo

Jali, who facilitates the ceramics

p r o g ra m m e .

Unathi Mbatyi, Owam

Tunyiswa, Thabisa Mabona and

Siphosethu Nombayeka were

among the students whose art

was on display and for sale at

the exhibition.

Mbatyi, who created a

beautiful acrylic on canvas

mandala piece, said it took a

month to complete as she

needed time to perfect the

intricate details.

“It takes a while because you

have to choose first the designs

that you will draw inspiration

from, then you paint them onto

the canvas.

“Then you spend the rest of

the time focusing on the details

and only after that do you start

working on the background,”

said Mbatyi.

Tunyiswa said he used

elements of his daily life to draw

inspiration from to create his

interesting mandala piece.

“I used the shape of the

Doritos chip to create some of

the art.

“I have also incorporated the

light and dark blue colours in

the shape of a drop to represent

rain drops.

“The colours are very

i m p o r t a n t ,” explained Tu ny i swa .

Mabona, who created a

stunning set of clay pieces

called Echoing Sounds, said she

YOUNG CREATIVES: Talented Lovedale TVET College fine art students whose stunning

miniature paintings and ceramic art were showcased in the recent Peep Show Exhibition at the

Ann Bryant Art Gallery. Picture: FAITH MTWANA

had been inspired by other wellknown

artists.

“We had to find artists

around us and have their work

be visible through our artwork. I

was inspired by Litha Ncukazi,”

said Mabona.

Nombayeka, who created a

gorgeous sunflower piece, said

being part of the exhibition wa s

only the beginning for him in his

fine art career.

“It took about two weeks to

finish because it had to go

through many stages of creating

the piece and waiting for it to

dry, the painting and the

g l o s s i n g ,” said Nombayeka.

Bezuidenhout said the

exhibition was a great

opportunity for the students to

showcase their work and

incredible talent.

“Our aim was to align the

projects with the outline of the

exhibition.

“We used the syllabus to

guide the students through the

creation process of their

submissions.

“They were able to practise

their very precise paintings on

the ceramics and perfect their

hand-eye coordination with the

m a n d a l a ,” Bezuidenhout

explained.

The students said they all

hoped to pursue careers in fine

art once they have completed

their studies.

Some have already secured

in-service training

opportunities.

Skills training programme brings hope

New chance

for area’s youth

TAMMY FRAY

As youth unemployment

rises across the city, local

organisations such as

New Kwanda are trying to

mitigate the strain by providing

young job seekers with a sixmonth

development

programme intended to prepare

them for the job market.

Founded in 2017, New

Kwanda is a non-profit

organisation based in the

Pefferville area that services the

youth, elderly and the

vulnerable in the community.

The area is prey to social and

economic challenges such as

drug abuse and poverty.

Earlier this year, New

Kwanda was approached by

Small Projects Foundation (SPF)

with a proposal for seed funding

for a youth development

project. This sparked a network

of collaborations between New

Kwanda, SPF and other

roleplayers in the city,

culminating in six months’

worth of theoretical and

practical training in different

employment sectors intended to

develop young people into

competent employees.

The programme has 224

participants enrolled and they

are divided into groups

stationed at schools,

government departments,

crèches and businesses across

Buffalo City. The groups spend

four hours a day, four days a

week in these spaces.

In addition to their practical

experience, the participants

learn theoretical work taught by

the SPF that entails four

modules based on topics such

as entrepreneurship and mental

health, among others.

The participants have also

been enrolled for computer

literacy courses and have been

trained to conduct eye tests.

Programme participant

Zinnia Thannah said she had

enjoyed the programme and felt

fulfilled by the skills and

experience they had been

gaining.

She said as a result of the

programme, the youth in her

area had gained the respect of

older people in the community

and this had restored their

confidence as young people.

She is particularly impressed

by what she has learnt in the

early childhood development

sector, saying that in future she

envisions pursuing a career in

that direction.

According to another

participant, Dalihunga Ceke,

the programme enabled him to

learn more about emergency

medical services as the school

he is stationed at for his

practicals, Buffalo Flats Primary,

entered him into an emergency

response course which he

passed with full marks.

Principal at Buffalo Flats

Primary Raymond Lewis says he

has been impressed with the

commitment Ceke and other

participants have shown.

Lewis said they arrived at the

school diligently to serve their

hours, and since they started the

grounds have been well

maintained and the school’s

security and discipline have

improved. The school hopes to

work with more participants

from the programme in future.

Ward councillor for ward 4,

Lemarc Stewart, has also

collaborated with New Kwanda

by enrolling participants from

the Cambridge location area

and Garcia Flats into the

programme and one

participant, Vuyolwethu

Makhonza, said this had

enabled participants from this

area to become self-sufficient as

they earn a small stipend of

R1,400.

Founders of New Kwanda,

Mark Stewart and Nathan Miles

said that as a result of the

programme four participants

had since been offered

employment. They hope in

future to see more students

leave having secured a job.

Getting under way in Duncan

Village on September 16 will

be the pilot launch of a new

recycling campaign.

The will see the collection

of recyclable paper, glass,

Tetra Pack, metal and plastic,

separated in a clear bag, from

households and businesses, on

a weekly basis.

In conjunction with the

Buffalo City Municipality

Development Agency, Buffalo

City Municipality and DNF

Waste & Environmental

Services, the pilot project is set

to be launched in Duncan

Village, with the goal of

eventually including the

greater Buffalo City area.

The overall objective of the

project seeks to deepen the

waste management value

chain in Buffalo City.

The project is a subsidiary

of the government’s Good

Green Deeds Programme,

which is a positive drive

towards a clean SA that is free

of litter.

It is focused on educating

residents, business owners and

s c h o o l c h i l d re n on waste

management and

environmental issues, with the

ultimate goal being the

reduction of waste and the

creation of cleaner

communities, on an ongoing

basis. This while

simultaneously creating jobs,

in particular for women and

youth.

An objective will include

the establishment and support

of SMME development,

including entrepreneurial and

skills development.

As such, all households and

businesses in Duncan Village

which participate in this

programme of “Separation at

S o u rc e ”, will receive a clear

plastic bag, and a black plastic

bag, each week.

The clear bag will be for

recyclable waste, which the

waste pickers will collect every

Tuesday; and the black bag will

be for general waste, to be

collected by the municipality.

Last year, 15 waste pickers

from each of the five wards in

Duncan Village were selected

and trained for the purpose of

this recycling project.

Their wages are being

supplemented by rebates

earned through the

recyclables they collect and

sell to the buy-back centres

located in Duncan Village.

Here they sort the

recyclables into five

categories: paper, glass, Tetra

Pak, cans and plastic.

The buy-back centres

weigh the waste and provide

the waste pickers with e-

vouchers for the value, which

can be used at various shops

and outlets.

A symbolic start to the

building of Duncan Villages’

Buy-Back Centre, which will

operate as a recycling facility,

will be celebrated at a sodturning

ceremony planned for

September 16.

The keynote speaker will

be Buffalo City executive

mayor Xola Pakati.

This new centre will be

open to anyone from all

surrounding areas who would

like to contribute to the

recycling project.

An extensive marketing

campaign including road

shows are envisaged to create

awareness and educate

residents on the necessity and

environmental importance of

this much-needed project.

Please look out for these

messages shared across social

media, radio, newspapers,

billboards, and make sure your

friends, family, neighbours and

colleagues are aware of this

drive to recycle and clean up

their environment.


Five years of winning formula

Brand’s secret

its success

FAITH MTWANA

One of East London’s

favourite wellness

brands, Ginger Love, is

celebrating its five-year

anniversary this month.

Founder and owner of

Ginger Love, Simone Klaasen,

created the business after she

was diagnosed with an

autoimmune disease.

She then joined forces with

her sister-in-law, Virginia

Brown, and began

experimenting with different

ingredients until they found

their winning combination.

“These affirmations have

been from consumers from all

different walks of life.”

With many ginger-based

products on the market, Ginger

Love, made up of a team of 15

employees, has had the added

pressure of ensuring their

product stands out from the rest.

“There have been many

copies and emulators of our

particular product over the years

but we are unique because our

product promotes good health.

“Sourcing the best local

the worldwide economic crisis.

allowed us to keep our prices

stable throughout the pandemic

“A lot of these businesses

started as side hustles and over

BCM libraries

grant

amnesty for

overdue fines

GO CORRESPONDENT

Buffalo City Metro Municipal

Libraries have launched the

Buyisa Book Campaign for

S e p t e m b e r.

The library will have an

amnesty on library fines on

overdue books. The public is

urged to drop off any library

books that they may have in

their possession and the books

will be accepted at the library

with no questions asked and no

fines collected.

This initiative is to allow the

practice of leisure reading and

the running of the library to

continue. A large number of

books have been checked out

but due to Covid, many of these

books have not been returned.

It has become costly for the

library to replace books as the

fines are not enough to cover

the costs of buying new books.

The library is not a profit

generated organisation and

having the books returned will

alleviate the strain on having to

budget continually to replace

books. As financial support for

libraries dwindle, BCM libraries

have turned to other means such

as the Buyisa Campaign to

enable people to return overdue

books instead.

The amnesty on fines is

strictly for overdue books only,

and does not apply to lost or

damaged books.

Deaf Awareness Month

BRANDON SCHLIMPER

Our five senses help us make every

second of our lives a unique

experience. That’s why we take good

care of them. We get glasses, we go to

the dentist, we exercise.

In fact, we’re willing to go a long

way to improve our health and well

being. However, when it comes to our

hearing, too many of us wait far too

long!

Many people believe that hearing

is the most important sense of all. It is

our lifeline to an ever-changing world.

Our sense of hearing connects us

to colleagues, friends and most

importantly, the people we love.

One in every two adults has

difficulty understanding and following

conversation in a noisy environment.

At some stage, every adult suffers

from hearing difficulty which can affect

their lifestyle and career.

Hearing technology has improved

to the point where hearing devices can

be programmed to suit and enhance

your unique lifestyle.

Taking good care of your hearing is

important. Studies have linked the

effects of untreated hearing loss to

poor memory, stress, depression,

isolation, reduced earning power and

health issues. However, with modern

hearing devices any level of hearing

loss can be improved – with potentially

life-changing results!

September is Deaf Awareness

Ad ve r to r i a l

Smart Hearing comments on the value of hearing

month. If you feel you may have a

hearing loss, contact your local hearing

care professional. Many people find it

helpful to bring a spouse, family

member or friend along to the

consultation.

Once you arrive, your hearing care

professional will invite you to discuss

your “hearing history”. The aim of this

is to understand what factors have

influenced your hearing and to learn

about your personal hearing needs.

The next step will be to perform a

hearing examination. Once the result is

ready, your hearing care professional

will explain it clearly to you. At that

point, you can begin to plan any next

steps together or look at possible

solutions, as necessary.

St Bernard’s raffle a win for everyone

RAFFLE WINNER: Claire Barnes, winner of the raffle coordinated

by St Bernard’s Hospice and Security Vault, is happy

to receive her prize from Melissa Knox, CEO of St Bernard’s

Hospice, and Juan Marais, a staff member at Security Vault.

Picture: SUPPLIED

Hospice helps

in hard times

TAMMY FRAY

For 31 years, St Bernard’s

Hospice has been

providing palliative care in

East London for those facing

debilitating health challenges,

and with support from local

businesses, the hospice vows to

continue providing its essential

services.

As a non-profit organisation,

St Bernard’s relies mainly on

fundraising and donations to

cover costs, but Covid rendered

fundraising challenging.

In the interim, CEO of St

Bernard’s, Melissa Knox, was

approached by local business

Security Vault to collaborate on

a raffle of which all proceeds

would go directly to the

operational costs of the hospice.

Security Vault is a local

business that supplies CCTV

infrastructure to individuals and

installers across Buffalo City.

As a means to give back to

the community, Security Vault

enabled St Bernard’s to raise

R10,000 through its raffle.

Raffle winner Claire Barnes

is an avid supporter of St

Bernard’s services, given that

within her own family palliative

support for a loved one has

played a pivotal role in quality

of life.

Knox and Security Vault staff

member Juan Marais agree that

partnering with the hospice in

terms of fundraising had raised

awareness about the business

given that Security Vault was a

new entrant into the local

business space.

In the coming months, St

Bernard’s will also be hosting a

Spring Market on October 1 at

its premesis, and in the interim

the public is encouraged to

continue patronising the charity

shop owned by the hospice on

44 St Marks Road in

S o u t h e r n wo o d .

The hospice also rents out

equipment such as wheelchairs

and commodes for a fee. A key

component of fundraising work

is critical consciousness-raising

and Knox said it was important

to break the stigma surrounding

hospice care.

She said hospices were

incorrectly associated with

terminal care.

“Palliative care speeds up

and eases the communication

between the patient and the

treating doctor,” she said. “If you

are the sick person you often

have to wait a long time to see

your doctor but in between

those periods of consultation

you can be suffering as you are

not feeling well after something

like chemo, for example, and

you may have to sit with

increased pain or nausea until

the next time you can see your

d o c t o r.

“But because hospice

workers meet every two weeks

with the doctors, they can call a

treating doctor on behalf of a

patient to bring health concerns

to the doctor’s immediate

attention so that scripts can be

secured for nausea or any

change in symptoms.”

Knox encourages patients

and families to get in touch with

St Bernard’s when an initial

diagnosis is received so that

registered health professionals

who work for the hospice are

able to meet with the patient

and their family to help them

prepare for what lay ahead.

Spotlight on recycling in Cambridge’s ‘Little Mermaid’

FAITH MTWANA

Cambridge Primary School is

working on a production of

Disney classic, The Little

Mermaid, set to be showcased

later this month.

The show includes 70

children, both on stage and

behind the scenes.

“We have had success in the

past with our Disney

productions and it was just a

natural progression to do this

o n e ,” said the show’s director,

Tanya Human.

“Plus, it offered the

opportunity to be a great

recycling project helping us

uphold our school motto of Non

Vobis, not for ourselves.”

A special recycling message

has been incorporated in the

production. The costumes,

props and sets have been

created through recycling

projects, headed by the

Foundation Phase staff

members.

The school is also running an

‘Adopt a Penguin’ campaign as

part of the production.

“Sales from our programmes

will be used as part of this

campaign. So not only will our

audiences experience an under

the sea spectacle, they will also

be supporting our ‘Save the

Ocean’ campaign by supporting

u s ,” said Human.

Nancy Valentine and

Stephanie Knoesen have taken

up the roles of music director

and choreographer, respectively.

“Our children have really

embraced the opportunity to

perform these iconic songs and

are putting their all into their

performances.

“Our music department has

also been working with the

soloists to bring out their full

p o t e n t i a l ,” said Valentine.

Buhlebenkosi Gaula, who

plays Sebastian, said: “I’ve learnt

it takes everyone to make a play,

even the smallest things help,

and I love doing the show with

my friends and teachers.

“We do have fun times and

we also have serious times.

“Yes, there are times I get

exhausted but I knew what I

signed up for.”

Ayazingca Ramncwana,

who plays Ursula, said: “Being

part of the play is a wonderful

experience and I feel like it has

changed me as a person a lot.

Every day at rehearsal is always

filled with fun and excitement.

“I will admit it can be a bit

chaotic and exhausting at times

but it’s all really worth it.

“It feels like we are a family

and it’s really amazing to be part

of something that’s so good for

the school.”

The show runs from

September 26 to 29.

There are two shows on

September 26, at 9am and

11.30am.

TAMMY FRAY

PRINCESS TREATMENT: Ciara Sholayan, who was gifted her beautiful wedding dress, also

wants to pass it on to a deserving bride-to-be. Picture: SUPPLIED

Passing on dress ‘part

of amazing adventure’

FAITH MTWANA

Ciara Sholayan always dreamt

of getting married to the love of

her life in the perfect wedding

dress, however, due to financial

constraints, that dream

threatened to fade.

This was until she came

across a Facebook post calling

on brides-to-be who were in

need of a dress to submit a short

motivational on why they

needed assistance to make their

dream a reality.

“I wrote about the

challenges I had been facing.

“Things were not great for us

financially, my mother was sick

and I was the one taking care of

her. Wedding dresses are

expensive and I didn’t know

how I was going to afford mine.

“I had never won anything in

my life, but I sent my letter in

any way,” said Sholayan.

After a few weeks, she

received a call informing her

that she had won, and

arrangements were made for her

to collect her dress.

A few months later, she had

her fairytale wedding when she

married her husband Damien,

in September this year.

The beautiful white dress

from Lady Marmalade Bridal,

had belonged to Claudia Smith,

who purchased it in the early

2000s.

It is a sweetheart dress with

detailed beading on the bodice

and a flared and flattering skirt.

It has a laced-up back which

makes it easily adjustable.

Smith said she had owned

the dress for a long time and she

had felt ready to pass it on.

“The dress had already

served its purpose and I was

contemplating whether I should

sell it or find someone deserving

to give it to.

“I decided to put a post on

Facebook. I received quite a few

responses and after going

through all of them, I found

C i a ra ’s story to be the most

touching. I knew I was taking a

risk because not everyone on

social media can be trusted.

“Ciara kept in touch and

showed me photos of her

wedding day,” said Smith.

Sholayan is now on a

mission to continue the

t ra d i t i o n .

“I want to pass on the dress

and let someone else have it.

“I want someone else to look

and feel beautiful on their

special day. This could be the

start of an amazing adventure

for the dress,” said Sholayan.

“Maybe in 50 years we will

look back on this moment and it

will be a great memory.”

Sholayan will post the offer

on Facebook, including the

specifications of the dress, and

how to enter. All entries will be

sent to g o ex p re s s @ a re n a . a f r i c a ,

and Sholayan will then decide

who gets the dress.

Evanescence describes

impermanence and

instability, and the latest

CVD Framers exhibition, which

opened on September 9,

attempts to grapple with this.

Claudine Hauke, Janet

Young and Diane Castle are

different artists with different

interests, and as a result each

yields a unique interpretation of

their understanding of

e va n e s c e n c e .

The artists are able to

capture the inherent instability

of life on both a personal and

sociopolitical scale, revealing

that at every level of our lives,

our assumptions of our reality as

solid and defined, is an illusion.

Hauke, an abstract artist,

was compelled through

photography to foc us on decay,

change, motion and evolution

in nature and society. Prompted

by a rupture in her personal life

due to familial illness, Hauke

was forced to grapple with what

life means when the time to live

it seems to be running out.

Her photographs capture

extreme close-ups of nature and

everyday scenes encountered

on her walks. Rendered in

miniature for the exhibition, the

images offer a metaphor of time

itself. In small bursts of colour,

undefined shapes and blurred

images, Hauke reveals that time

does not move linearly and that

when all is passed, what

remains of the time we spent are

the small, viscerally and

emotionally jarring, moments.

Young is a ceramicist who

employs Raku Ceramic

techniques that entail firing up

the clay until it is red-hot on the

kiln and then plunging it into

water to evoke textures.

Young is preoccupied with

texture and nature and is drawn

to natural elements such as

water, earth and fire. Her work

includes textural references to

nets, cracks and ridges, evoking

imagery that creates a feeling of

suffocation and entrapment.

“Right now our world is in a

fluid state with all the wars,

turmoil and pollution. The

world right now kind of does

not know what it wants to be

and I wanted to capture that.”

Young said that for this

exhibition she was inspired by a

trip made to Kagga Kagga

reserve in the Western Cape

where she encountered rock

formations with interesting

natural shapes formed over

millennia.

Castle, a sculptor, draws

from indigenous Southern

African myths and the harsh

realities of our contemporary

global order to illustrate the

fluidity of life for those who live

on the fringes of it. Considering

the subjugation of displaced

refugees, women and the

unemployed, she illustrates the

ephemeral nature of a common

reality and the instability of

perception and experience.

Selected pieces from the

exhibition are available for sale

and viewing at CVD Framers on

Jarvis Road in Berea.

Help for women on ageing healthily

TAMMY FRAY

For much of their lives, women

devote their energy and time to

nurturing others.

However, after the age of 40

this tends to take a toll on their

health and wellbeing.

Health coach Monique

Weschta has created a 10-week

Healthy Ageing programme to

provide support for older

women seeking to regain

control of their health and

develop better habits.

The programme is carried

out over Zoom and made up of

both group and individual

coaching sessions. Week 1 is an

individual, one-on-one session

aimed at creating a goalorientated

health plan suited for

each individual. The first three

group sessions are webinars to

educate participants on

nutrition and how to integrate

healthy eating into one’s life, the

importance of exercise and the

effect stimulants have on our

bodies. The one-on-one

sessions start during the last

week of September and the first

group session on October 4. All

the group sessions are on a

Tuesday from 6-7pm. The rate is

R2,100 per person.

This programme is part of

We s ch t a ’s ongoing efforts to

destigmatise menopause and

assist in ensuring women live

healthier and happier lives well

into old age. Health coaching is

a more sustainable means of

integrating healthy habits into

one’s lifestyle given that the

programme is tailored to suit

each individual’s preferences

and needs. It incorporates group

sessions to encourage the

development of a supportive

and accountable community

between the participants.

After 10 weeks, Weschta

says the programme will have

debunked misconceptions

about healthy living — mainly

that it implies restriction and

punishment.

“I hope participants will see

that changes can be easy and

fun; no drastic measures, no

pills or shakes, just a new

awareness about healthy living

that is easy to implement. You

will learn about the nutritional

value of food and what your

body needs to thrive, and be

equipped to live a health life.”

Previous participants report

improved energy levels, less

stress, better sleep, reduced

cravings, increased weight loss,

reduced hormonal symptoms

and an improved drive for life.

One former participant said:

“Working with Monique has

changed my life! I have been

equipped with really easy,

manageable and achievable

skills, which I will always be

able to use in my life.”

REFLECTIONS

Charles Beningfield

but at least it was entertaining and brought to mind

a topic of conversation round a braai one evening

in Komani (Queenstown) many years ago when

the chit-chat turned to childhood book favourites.

Diana Holliday, wife of my late colleague Ted

Holliday, said how much she and her children had

enjoyed the Just William stories by Richmal

Crompton, whom I had always believed to be a

man but is in fact, a woman.

Diana said her daughter Jill wrote to Crompton

once and received a very nice letter in return,

along with her autograph.

On that long ago evening, we spoke about

authors such as Enid Blyton and Frank Richards.

Our collective children had all read Blyton’s books

of course, but Richards goes back a bit further.

How many readers, I wonder, remember Billy

Bunter, one of the most famous characters in

British fiction? He was created by a man called

Charles Hamilton who preferred to write under the

pseudonym of Frank Richards.

The adventures of Billy Bunter, the greedy,

scrounging Fat Owl of the Remove at Greyfriars

College, entertained nearly three generations of

schoolboys all over the world and was one of my

own favourites as a young boy.

Billy Bunter books passed from popular

literature during World War 2 and was perhaps

one of the major casualties of that period.

At the end of the war, however, Bunter, by

popular demand, was revived as the hero of a

series of boys’ novels which Richards churned out

over 30 years until his death.

The genius of Richards lay in keeping Greyfriars

alive as a going concern for decades through wars

and social revolutions and making the Greyfriars

community organically real to his readers,

Perhaps in Spud we have today’s version of

Billy Bunter.

Regarding my bellyaching at the start of this

piece about the constant television repeats being

inflicted upon us poor, defenceless viewers, I see

The Weakest Link is now being thrust upon us

again. Could it be the old Anne Robinson series we

saw a decade or so ago?

RECOVERING PAST ICONS: The Border Historical Society has hosted a number of interesting initiatives this year including a recent tour to mission sites of interest, pictured here. On September

20, Border Historical Society and the Friends of East London Museum will be hosting a live talk on historical figure Nathaniel Umhalla. Pictures: SUPPLIED

Lost hero Umhalla to be remembered

Huge contribition

to SA overlooked

TAMMY FRAY

Nathaniel Cyril Kondile Umhalla

lived during the 19th century

and his innovative spirit

contributed to the development of

institutions and notable public figures,

yet he died in poverty without any of

the acclaim he deserves.

The Border Historical Society in

association with the Friends of the East

London Museum intends to restore his

legacy and among their efforts is a

public talk to be held on September 20

at the Marjorie Courtenay-Latimer Hall

at the East London museum.

The talk will be presented by

historian Mike Kenyon and all are

welcome to attend. Kenyon believes

that through considering the lives of

people such as Umhalla, much can be

gleaned about the past that is helpful

for resolving contemporary issues.

Umhalla was a multi-talented

individual educated in England. He

had natural sporting and academic

prowess and enjoyed a career in cricket

as a batsman and administrator for 30

years. He was also a talented artist,

educator, catechist, customary law

expert, law agent, journalist and

historian.

Despite his innumerable skills and

talents, the racist administration of the

day curtailed his professional progress

by reserving opportunities for white

men despite Umhalla’s qualifications

and education.

Kenyon believes Umhalla’s life

presents one of many case studies

illustrating the strength of the glass

ceiling that stifled the development of

Black people in SA, and in the Border

region especially.

Kenyon said “it is a tragedy of

enormous proportions as here was a

person who should have been a lawyer

or a leader in any of a number of

professions.

“His intellect and experience

should have qualified him to sit in

parliament ahead of many who did sit

there. Instead he contributed

substantially to the advancement of

institutions and professionals rather

than his own advancement, spent his

last years as a lowly headman and

appears to have died in poverty.”

The Border historical society says

that Umhalla’s life and that of his

acquaintances reveals a great deal

about the construction of inequality in

the later 19th century.

All interested in attending the talk

are encouraged to arrive no later than

7pm and no entrance levy will be

charged. For more information please

contact Gordan Campbell, secretary of

the Border Historical Society, on 083-

284-6173.

Gandhi Walk afoot once again

TAMMY FRAY

The East London Hindu

Society’s annual Gandhi walk

returns on Sunday September 18

after a year-long Covid-imposed

hiatus.

Founded in 2007, the

fundraising Gandhi Walk has

enabled the society to make

pivotal strides towards

community development in the

East London area and its return

is a boost for local charities.

In the past, proceeds from

the Gandhi Walk have been

donated to various organisations

providing essential services in

Buffalo City, such as the Carel

du Toit Centre for the deaf, the

Canaan Care Centre and the

Masimanyane Women’s Support

Centre, among others.

This year, the society will use

the funds raised to recoup its

own operational losses due to

the debilitating impact of the

Covid-19 lockdowns.

ELHS chairperson, Dhiren

Naran, said through sponsorship

secured by the society, it would

still be making a charitable

contribution of 100 pairs of

school shoes to pupils at two

schools in Buffalo City.

This is the 14th year of the

Gandhi Walk, which as in

previous years will begin at

Oxford Striders Sports Club on

Beach Road in Nahoon.

Held in other South African

cities, the event is modelled

after Mahatma Gandhi’s famous

Salt March, a 385km nonviolent

civil disobedience walk

protesting British rule in India.

Gandhi advocated for

tolerance and unity, which the

ELHS believes is desperately

needed t o d ay.

This year, the ELHS

celebrates 98 years in existence

and Naran believes the initial

principles on which the society

was founded still remain. “Th e

older generation have, through

hard work, left us a legacy that

we can be proud of and it’s

therefore up to us, the current

generation, to carry the vision

and legacy forward,” he said.

“Emerging from Covid-19 at

the beginning of 2022 a l l ow e d

us to regain focus on the Gandhi

Walk, among our many Hindu

festivals and celebrations.

“Our deep sense of

community involvement

compelled us to make the walk

happen this year. East London

needs such an event, with fun

being the central aspect.”

Gandhi Walk on September 18, after not having held it for two

Race to help paediatric burn victims

GO CORRESPONDENT

The famous Border 1000

80km road cycling race from

Stutterheim to East London is

set to take place on October

16.

Known for its 1,000

bicycle wheel rotations, the

event is therefore called the

Border 1000.

For many years, the

popular race has been a

drawcard for cyclists all over

the Eastern Cape, and finally

it’s back after a three-year

sabbatical due to the Covid-

19 lockdown.

It is being organised by

the Grandads Army, a group

of social cyclists, in support

of the Eyabantwana Trust

The Grandads Army

cyclists have helped raise

more than R3m for the

Eyabantwana Trust over the

past eight years, assisting it to

purchase essential surgical

equipment for the

department of paediatric

surgery in East London.

BORDER 1000: Avid cyclists welcome the return of the

fundraising Border 1000 cycling race from Stutterhuim to

East London on October 16. Picture: SUPPLIED

All profits raised by the

Grandads Army in the Border

1000, will be donated

towards the purchase of a

much-needed Brennen Skin

Graft Mesher, which costs

R120,000.

This surgical equipment

will make a big difference in

helping children and infants

who have suffered severe

burns and require skin grafts.

The Brennen Skin Graft

Mesher is a state-of-the-art

mechanism that meshes the

skin by “p i n ch i n g ” it instead

of cutting the graft, creating a

uniform pattern and

maintaining graft integrity.

Sanctioned by Cycling

SA, the Border 1000 includes

two race distances – an 80km

and 37km, finishing at Buffs

Club in East London.

With prize money up for

grabs for both the male and

female cyclists taking part in

each distance, there is an

even bigger reason to support

the event, thanks to S Haynes

& Associates Inc.

Entries are available

Surfers set to represent

Border at SA champs

Merrifield kids

training hard

TAMMY FRAY

Pupils from Merrifield

college and p r e p a ra t o r y

school are heading to

Je f f r e y ’s Bay in October to

compete in the 2022 SA Surfing

Championships, representing

the Border junior sides.

Daniel Emslie, captain of the

u/18 boys side, says the team

has been hard at work, training

three times a week with surfing

drills and physical workouts on

the beach to maintain their

fitness and build mental

endurance for an intense period

of surfing at the championships.

Emslie believes the Border

u/18 side this year stands a good

chance of emerging as victors

given the talent, experience and

commitment the team has

shown throughout the season.

Emslie was part of the side in

2019 who were crowned victors

and he is motivated to leave

Jeffreys Bay with that moniker

once again.

Inspired by his uncle, current

coach and Border and

internationally renowned

surfing legend Greg Emslie,

Daniel intends to achieve

similar success in the sporting

code.

“Through national qualifying

events starting at the end of this

year and beginning of next year,

I aspire to finish in the top six

men in Africa for the WSL Africa

rankings, and qualify for the

Challenger Series,” he said.

“I will compete in eight

international events with surfers

from across the globe.

“On this tour I hope to finish

in a ranking of being in the top

12 men and therefore qualify for

the world tour and become a

professional surfer.”

Teammate Kyan Lugg

qualified for the championships

after finishing in second place at

the Border trials earlier this year.

An avid surfer and long-time

water sport enthusiast, he is

concerned he may have a bad

heat and be unable to catch the

waves he needs.

To prepare for the

championships, Lugg said he

was training four times a week

and hopes to win the SA u/16

championships later this year.

The youngest student

representing Border is Malachi

Womarans, who is part of the

u/14 team.

Wolmarans started surfing at

the age of 7 and says: “I

continued because it was fun

and you forget everything when

yo u ’re in the water.”

Wolmarans hopes to avoid

being knocked out early at the

championships and intends to

make it to the Challenger series

later this year.

Mzomhle High win Premier Star Bakeries pilot women’s league

TAMMY FRAY

In the final match of this season’s

pilot league for women’s football,

the Mzomhle High School team won

against BCMM Inner City High.

These two teams have dominated

the East London Central Local

Football Association’s Premier Star

Bakeries Women’s Football League.

On August 9, Mzomhle High

took home the League Cup trophy

and went into the final in the more

advantageous position, given that

BCMM would have needed to score

six goals to claim a league victory

over Mzomhle due to the latter’s

league standings.

Deputy chair for ELCFLA Vuyo

Zambodla said it was a game of two

halves with an even balance in

strength between the teams. In the

first half Mzomhle was comfortably

leading 2 -0 and then, as per their

strategy, they ran riot late in the

game, netting four more goals.

Zambodla says that the teams

were able to put on a great

performance in the league

throughout the year because of the

solid management and

administration backing each team.

BCMM Inner is coached by

Dennis Vukubi, a former Bafana

Bafana star, and Mzomhle is

coached by Masixole Matyana, a

committed community activist, as

well as other staff who are prepared

to dig deep into their pockets to

ensure the team succeeds.

With ELCFLA’s women’s soccer at

a close, Zambodla said the

association had benefited from

seeing women participate in games

this year and that going forward

more development from ELCFLA

would go into improving the pilot

league in order to officially make it

into a proper league in the future.

On behalf of the LFA and
