Hudson teacher
wins ICT award
DIGITAL SKILLS: Hudson Primary School teacher, Kelly Bush, with her first
place award from the provincial Department for Basic Education for
Excellence in ICT Enhanced Technology education, for her offline coding
lesson plans for schools in under-resourced areas. Picture: SUPPLIED
Coding game
accessible to all
TAMMY FRAY
Hudson Park Primary teacher Kelly
Bush, who came first in the province
for Excellence in ICT and Enhanced
Technology education, represented the
Eastern Cape at the second round of the
National Teaching Awards on
September 21.
Her presentation was wellreceived
by the panel of adjudicators,
and the final awards will be held on
October 20.
On September 19, she was awarded
first place by the Department of Basic
Education for her innovative ICT work
for Tangible Africa.
In partnership with Prof Je a n
Greyling from Tangible Africa and the
Nelson Mandela University, Bush
introduced coding concepts into a
coding game, combining learning and
p l ay.
It can be used to teach coding in
schools without internet access or
computers.
The lessons include additional skills
such as, Design Thinking and Problem
Solving, Digital Citizenship and
Computational Thinking.
Bush said all children should be
capacitated to participate efficiently in
the digital world.
“I feel as the world around our
learners changes, so should the
education they are receiving.
“I don’t believe in using technology
for technologies sake, but rather in
critically using technology for the
benefit of learners and for the
expansion of the real world skills they
will need when they finish school,” she
said.
Bush considers her award a win for
the province as she believes it will lead
to more local opportunities to help
teachers understand coding and ICT
and its role in their pupils’ education.
She said the award confirmed her
belief that preparing pupils for the
future could be done no matter what
resources were ava i l a b l e .
“The best moments for me are when
teachers comment on how the lessons
and workshops helped them to
understand the intimidating topic of
coding in a simpler way. I was able to
show teachers the links between what
we teach in coding and what they
already do in the classroom.
“Also, the many photos I receive of
my lessons being taught in the deepest
of rural areas inspires me to keep
moving forward.”
Prof Greyling said Bush’s award and
national recognition was a testament to
the quality of the lesson plans Tangible
Africa created, as well as the feasibility
of its approach to teaching digital skills
offline.
Hudson Primary headmaster Gareth
Lumb said: “Th e award that Mrs Bush
has received speaks to the high calibre
of the Hudson Park teaching staff and
their dedication to their learners and
the curriculum that they teach.
“The school has been pushing the
development of technology, robotics
and coding in our curriculum since
2015.
“Our Grade 5 to 7s already work on
Chromebooks and are privileged to
have access to a world-class network
infrastructure. Our big goal is to
expand our computer lab and library
into a dynamic working space, which
will allow for greater exploration,
creativity and blended learning.”
Shortage of free condoms a ‘national health crisis’
TAMMY FRAY and
FAITH MTWANA
World Contraception
Day, held annually
on September 26
brings little to celebrate this year
in BCM given the shortage of
government supplied condoms
in the metro.
Masimanyane International
Wo m e n ’s Support Centre
director Sibongile Vutu said the
shortage was a crisis because of
the important health safety role
that free, government-provided
condoms played, especially for
women from low-income
b a ck g r o u n d s .
“The impacts of this shortage
are devastating and we are
feeling them already as survivors
of rape come to our care centre
for treatment and are being told
we cannot send them home
with any condoms,” Vutu said.
“This is a problem because
when you are raped, you are not
sure yet if you’ve been infected
with any sexually transmitted
diseases, especially with HIV.
“The free condoms are for
the protection of your sexual
partners to ensure nothing is
transmitted from you to others.
“But without any condoms,
stopping this transmission
process is impossible.”
She said the shortage should
be declared a national health
crisis. Vutu said the organisation
was only notified of the shortage
this week and no official
communication has yet been
issued by the department of
health, leaving clinics, rape
crises centre’s and NGOs
stranded. However, she said no
official message had been
issued from the department and
organisations such as
Masimanyane were not made
aware of the impending
shortage beforehand.
The annual worldwide WCD
campaign aims to help young
people make responsible,
healthy and safe choices
regarding their sexual and
reproductive health.
However, M a s i m a nya n e
officer Farida Myburgh said this
outcome was now
compromised given the
unavailability of free
government-provided condoms.
Myburgh said that without
access to free contraception,
women now faced the burden
of having to buy contraception
themselves. However, most did
not have the financial means to
do so. Myburgh said the
absence of contraception
annihilated the work
organisations such as
Masimanyane had done so far
to promote safe sex and
consent, and would lead to a
steep increase in the
transmission of diseases.
“Now women can’t even
appeal to their rapist to use a
condom either because they
will not have any on their
p e r s o n ,” Myburgh said.
“Condoms protect women’s
lives and without them we will
be sitting with a huge crisis.”
The condom is the only form
of contraceptive that protects
against most STIs as well as
preventing pregnancy.
In SA, the provision of free
condoms has gone a long way
in helping curb HIV/Aids.
Some of the most popular
types of contraceptive methods
include condoms, the o ra l
contraceptive pill, intrauterine
device (IUD), the contraceptive
injection and diaphragm.

Brave attempt sadly still falls flat
FAITH MTWANA
GENRE: Supernatural, drama,
sci-fi, miniseries
One of SA’s first sci-fi shows has
been released on Netflix, and
with all the hype and marketing
behind it, the expectations were
high.
The Brave Ones is described
as a superhero series, which
makes sense to an extent,
though the ‘magic’ referenced
throughout is based more on
mythology and folklore than scifi.
The story follows Ntsiki
Gasa, a troubled young woman
who discovers she is the
reincarnation of The Brave One,
a powerful being who possesses
many special powers and the
responsibility to protect the Tree
of Life, which is under threat in
the township of iLanga.
The cast is filled with South
African actors who are all
familiar faces on our screens,
namely, Nomalanga Nkosi,
Tony Kqoroge, Zamani Mbatha
and S’thandiwe Kgoroge.
The plotline is refreshing and
tells a story of African gods and
divine beings in a positive light,
putting a fresh spin on the
typical superhero story.
The story includes real-life
issues like crime, forced
removals and corruption, issues
South Africans unfortunately
face on a daily basis.

PLOT HOLES: Netflix SA’s latest mini-series ‘The Brave Ones’
relays an interesting concept in an under-explored genre in
South African media. But with too many diverging plot lines,
among other concerns, the show leaves much to be desired.
Picture: SUPPLIED
The sci-fi elements are wellportrayed
and the CGI is
sufficient. The costume and
design department pulled out all
the stops though.
That said, with all the
potential, this series s o m e h ow
still manages to fall flat.
The six-episode miniseries is
incredibly slow-paced at times,
and too much time is spent on
aspects that fail to advance the
plot. The story has too many
diverging plot points and fails to
for hire to different spots in East
London, ending with a night of
listening to neo soul music at
the establishment. Limited bikes
are available for rental and the
programme starts from 11.30am

include a gin bar and the Kei

information is relayed about The
Brave One yet after Ntsiki gains
her powers, we never really see
the full extent of those powers.
As such, the audience is
unable to fully connect with her
role as The Brave One.
But with more positive
aspects to it than negative, The
Brave Ones is certainly one of
the better South African shows
on the red and black app.

Radio host starts
YouTube show
This week we chat to Robbie Du Rand
FAITH MTWANA
QWhat prompted you to
start your YouTube show?
AI gained vast experience in
six years on radio.
I’ve interviewed more than
600 celebrities, and rugby
commentary with Supersport
schools prompted me to do my
own talk show through social
media with the aim of finally
having my own national talk
s h ow.
What is your show about?
The show, called The RDR
Show, has something for
everyone, young and old.
It has a variety of local and
international news.
I interview celebrities about
their careers, I cover sporting
news and I also give support to
local achievers in the Eastern
Cape.
We allow artists to promote
their talents with a three-minute
gig using the show as a
platform.
Your videos follow a t a l k - s h ow
format, why did you choose to
GO!PEOPLE
The RDR Show
use the YouTube platform over
a podcast?
The idea is to build a big
YouTube following and this will
then assist us with possibly
going into a podcast format.
How do you prepare for each
s h ow ?
Shows are prepared two weeks
in advance and we shoot every
Tu e s d ay.
Who are some of the guests
you have i n t e rv i ewe d ?
Former All Blacks player Greg
Sommerville , 1995 World Cup
winner Japie Mulder, Singer J
Something, and former Bok
coach Ian Macintosh.
What is your ultimate goal
with your show?
The ultimate goal is to secure a
studio long-term, then when
we’ve done 15 shows to meet
with production companies to
step it up and present it to
bigger networks.
For someone who would like to
start their own show, wh a t
advice do you have?
It is 10 times harder than radio,
and expensive, so start slow,
find the right production team
and walk slowly to achieve the
greater goals.
What other projects are you
working on?
We have launched The RDR
Show Rugby Commentary
which will cover international
rugby games via YouTube for
millions who don’t have DSTV.
We also want to offer the
commentary in Xhosa and
Afrikaans by the end of the
ye a r.

Growsmart awards pupils
LAPTOP LEARNING: Pupils compete in a a Mental Maths
competition. Picture: SUPPLIED
Pupils get to try
out digital learning
AW Barnes Primary and New
Generation Primary are the only
two schools in the district that
received Acer laptops from the
Department of Education which are
loaded with educational
programmes and textbooks in
subjects such as maths, coding and
robotics.
The schools decided to host a
Mental Maths competition on
September 6 that required pupils in
Grade 4 to answer maths questions
in under 10 seconds. Both schools
said the laptops were beneficial as
most of their pupils did not have
access to laptops and computers at
home.
The laptops have been
downloaded with virtual textbooks
to be used in class.
Khanya Miseli, from A/W
Barnes, said all public schools
could transition to digital teaching
with virtual textbooks if they were
provided with laptops for pupils.
Hudson takes 93 run victory
Hudson Park High School’s 1st XI
cricket squad had a good
preparation game for the upcoming

Hlonele Bune 40, Aya Jakatyana 29
and Kugqamile Nomtshongwana

Stirling then struggled with the

Hudson, to be bowled out for 89
runs. Talented Thozama Totana,

and celebrate pupils who excel
in mathematics, story writing
and literacy.
Sixty of the top Grade 4, 5
and 6 pupils from 22 schools
across seven education districts
in the Eastern Cape took part in
the awards programme.
They began working in May
this year to earn their place in
the fourth and final stage.
Fanti Gaqa Senior Primary
School were the overall winners
of the Literacy Competition,
with Onesimo Qandashe and
Lelomsos Mdluli winning first
and second place, respectively.
Qandashe’s first place win
also came with an iPad Lab for
the school valued at R350,000.
The competition winners
were rewarded with
educational material to the
value of R20,000, R10,000 and
R5,000, respectively, while the
mentors were rewarded with a
gift voucher from a Growthpoint
Shopping Centre to the value of
R10,000, R5,000 and R1,500.
The awards programme is a
Growthpoint Properties
corporate social responsibility
initiative, run in collaboration
with the Eastern Cape
Department of Education.
The programme hosts an
online and project-based interschool
competition in literacy,
story writing and maths for
pupils from schools that have
scored less than 55% in their
literacy and numeracy results.
Jewel Harris, founder of
Growsmart, said this year had
produced the most driven group
of pupils since the programme’s
inception in 2010.
“This year was an extremely
exciting one for Growsmart in
the Eastern Cape as the
competition was tougher than
ever before, with three new
districts participating for the first
t i m e ,” said Harris.
“This is a great result, and we
are proud to have even greater
positive impacts on young
minds in the province.
“Congratulations to all the
winning learners, mentors and
schools, and to everyone who
participated in the programme.”
A special after-party was
held for the pupils to celebrate
their achievements, with face
painting, a magic show, a clown
and an abundance of sweets
and snacks.
CARING COMMUNITY: On September 24, p a re n t s
and teachers from Stirling Primary held a fundraising
day to raise money and awareness for young Callum
von Delft, who has aplastic anaemia. The day, held to
raise funds to support his treatment included fun
games, stalls, a raffle and more. Attendees could also
donate blood or register as stem cell donors to
contribute life-saving support to others facing the
disease. SANBS re p re s e n t a t i v e s collected 39 units of
blood on the day, with five deferrals, and DKMS, an
international non-profit bone marrow donor centre
received 130 stem cell donor registrations, with more
people still registering. All it involves is a swab test.
Visit the DKMS website to register. One of the event
organisers, Giselle Pauls, said the Von Delfts’ family
were extremely grateful for the support. Dr Hamida
van Staaden said stem cell donation was no longer a
painful procedure. Visit Callum’s Fight on Facebook.

Local non-profit organisation
Future Me! held its first tour
to the Transnet Ports Authority
on September 22 to introduce
pupils from Uviwe High
School to careers in the
marine and engineering
s e c t o r.
Future Me!, funded by the
Buffalo City department of
basic education, works with
five schools in underresourced
areas.
The NPO introduces
pupils to sectors in which
professionals are in high
demand, guiding and
mentoring them on what
subject choices are necessary
in Grade 10 to study further
for certain careers.
The NPO’s goal is to
mentor and guide pupils to
seek careers in highly critical
industries such as finance, IT,
business, management,
agriculture, environmental
management, design and
media.
During their visit, the

able to learn about the
marine industry and meet
with professionals in the
sector with interesting careers
that they may not have been
aware of, such as vessel traffic
controllers, tug masters and
marine technical managers.
The NPO’s founder, Dr
Siphokazi Konyana, said the
pupils met professionals who
spoke of their experiences
sailing ships from Australia
and training on vessels in
Cameroon and Spain.
Konyana said many of
them had also come from
humble beginnings like the
pupils but had worked hard
to achieve their goals.
Ndumiso Danxa, the
Social Behaviour Change
Agent (SBCA) at Uviwe High
said: “The programme was a
success because it fulfilled all
our expectations as the
school. Some of the learners
were not sure why Science,
Technology, Engineering, and
Mathematics (STEM) subjects
are important, even though
some of them excel in these
subjects.
“They were not motivated
enough to carry through with
them because they demand
time and sacrifice.
“After this visit, they were
all motivated to study and
excel even more in their
studies because they saw the
importance of studying
engineering by talking with a
practicing engineer at his
work place.”

services to pupils.
Small Projects Fund director,
Paul Cromhout, said the aim
was to give the participants an
opportunity to earn a stipend,
gain work experience and
references for their CVs.
The theoretical training
covered aspects such as antibullying,
study skills, Good
Touch, Bad Touch, addiction
and personal growth.
Masithethe director, Jackie
Orsmond, said: “Where the
culture of bullying is festering
we find many pupils have
suicidal thoughts, and gambling
is rife, especially in this era of
internet culture. Children’s
gullibility and naivety makes
them particularly vulnerable
and so we covered these areas
of concern in our training with
the participants.”
The participants have since
been dispatched to schools such

during their training. Picture: SUPPLIED
as Buffalo Flats Primary,
Aspiranza Primary, Beaconhurst
P r i m a r y, Stirling High and
Cambridge High.
Ayabonga Nkohliso, one of
the programme’s participants
said: “It has been really good,
also seeing the challenges
learners are facing. The good is
that I am making a difference by
being there for the pupils and
the challenges are that there are
not enough counsellors as the
need is overwhelming.
“Learners are facing
problems such as bullying,
anxiety, depression, witnessing
gender-based violence.
“A lot of learners are raising
themselves, have learning
challenges, are addicted to
drugs, feeling lonely, having
thoughts of suicide.”
Orsmond said s ch o o l s did
not give enough attention to the
psycho-social wellness of
pupils, and encouraged school
governing bodies to prioritise
the appointment of counsellors.
‘F ro z e n ’ comes to East London
LET IT GO: The East London Performing Arts society returns to
the stage from October 7-8 with their latest dazzling
production, ‘A Frozen Adventure’, adapted from the popular
Disney movie ‘F ro z e n ’. Picture: SUPPLIED
GO CORRESPONDENT
The East London Performing Arts
Society (ELPAS) returns to the
stage from October 7-8 with A
Frozen Adventure, an
adaptation of the popular movie
franchise, Fr ozen.
The cast is made up of 28
actors of all ages, ranging from
11 to 36, and truly is a
community theatre effort.
It is directed by Nasine van
Rensburg of ELPAS, with
musical direction by newcomer
to musical theatre,
Michelle Wiseman.
Performed in full musical
theatre glory with amazing sets,
beautiful costumes and dazzling
choreography, it is not to be
missed.
Olaf and Sven are life-size
animatronic puppets that are so
animated in their movements,
they appear life-like.
The production is the
ultimate show for any Fr ozen
fan or lover of good musical
theatre for that matter, because
the choreography and voices
will blow you away.
Children attending are
invited to dress up as their
favourite characters and can
have their photo’s taken with
Elsa, Anna and the gang at the
end of each show.
It runs during the school
holidays, with two evening
shows and one matinee on
October 8, at Hudson High
S ch o o l ’s Gibson Kente Theatre.
Tickets are R100 per ticket
and can be purchased at Lee
Gold Music.
Van Rensburg, who plays the
lead role as Elsa, said her
character resonated with
children irrespective of gender.
She added: “Iwa s n ’t initially
a Fr ozen fan, but the more time I
spent with Elsa, the more I
understood her and eventually
realised that I share many
similarities with her in my own
personality, that I eventually
truly understood the story and
fell in love with it.”
The adaptation remains true
to the story, exploring the
impact of insecurity and feeling
misunderstood by others and
how this ultimately can be
overcome with love.
It sidesteps the conventional
romantic trope involving a
helpless damsel in distress being
rescued by a prince.
Instead, it focuses on the
love we can find among family
and the many ways which this
supersedes romantic love.
The show has been slightly
altered as more songs have been
added to the musical score, but
all the favourites have been
retained, such as Let it Go, Fo r
the First Time in Forever, and
Love is an Open Door.

ATHENKOSI NDIKINDA
Xhosa rapper rising with own record label
FAITH MTWANA
Athenkosi Ndikinda is working
hard to make a name for himself
as a Xhosa rapper in the Eastern
Cape music industry.
Ndikinda, who goes by the stage
name Pronator, is a 22-year-old
musician from Idutywa.
His music can be described as
Xhosa hip-hop, a genre that has been
Government vehicles to go on auction
growing in the Eastern Cape. Ndikinda
said he used his music to express
himself and his roots, and credited
Bonga Ncapayi as his inspiration.
“Bonga helped me to work on my
music. He taught me how to write and
make music.
“Pronator was actually his stage
name first. When he stopped making
music, he gave me his stage name and
told me to make a success of it and
that’s what I’ve been doing,” he said.
Ndikinda has released an EP called
Unam, affectionately named after his
younger sister, which includes four
songs and also features local artists
such as Aphiwe RSA, Flash Ikumkani,
SorDa Genius, JR and Fikile.
The rapper, who took part in the
Eastern Cape meets Western Cape Tour
in Cape Town last year, has also started
his own record label called Xhosa Vibe
Entertainment. “We currently have six
artists signed, and I am one of them.
“We have one Amapiano DJ, and
five hip-hop artists. We also have a
clothing brand called Vuka Nolali.
“The purpose of this brand is to
motivate young people in rural areas to
get up and work for themselves.”
His music is available on all digital
stores and the clothing brand can be
found on Facebook page ‘Vuka Nolali’.

Duo to bring music and comedy in ‘One Night Only’
FAITH MTWANA
Singers Fagrie Isaacs and Nur
Abrahams, who joined forces
with their hit musical comedy
s h ow, One Night Only, are
bringing it to the Guild Theatre
in October.
It first debuted in June this
year in Cape Town, and was
meant to be a once-off
performance.
However, it was such a hit
with the audience that the
family duo decided to stage it
again.
“The show is already 80%
sold out. We are excited to
bring the show to East London
audiences after a major
success in Cape Town.
“This show will also be a
build-up to Fagrie’s one-man
Luther Vandross Tribute
Concer t show in November,”
said Fahmi Jacobs, Isaacs’
m a n a g e r.
The duo, who have more
than 30 years of performance
experience between them,
have created a unique blend of
music and comedy in their
show that keeps the audience
entertained throughout.
It includes soul and pop
music as well as renditions of
the most iconic tunes of the
‘80s, ‘90s and 2000s.
“Our show is unique
because we have a synergy.
We don’t really prepare our
show, it is all natural.
“It is how we communicate
in our daily lives, we
understand each other and
when we get on stage we just
make it funny.
“It isn’t forced, it is just our
fun and raw energy,” said
Isaacs.
Abrahams has been singing
professionally since he was six
years old and has taken part in
a number of musical
productions including David
Kramer and Taliep Petersen’s
District 9 - The Musical.
Isaacs is a singer and
songwriter who is renowned
for a record-breaking 19 first
prizes for his solo performance
of The Koon Song at the annual
Cape Town Koon Carnival.
The show, presented by
Simplified Management and
Events and organised by 043
Events, is on at the Guild
Theatre on October 22, at
7pm.
For tickets, at R180 per
person, contact 083-408-0246
or 083-212-1185.

Ad ve r to r i a l
Child cancer awareness needed
GO CORRESPONDENT
Each year, an estimated
400,000 children and
adolescents from 0-19 years
old develop cancer.
Childhood cancer cannot
generally be prevented but it
can be identified through
screening and early detection
m e a s u re s .
Avoidable deaths from
childhood cancers result from
delayed diagnosis, among
other factors.
Debbie Kleinenberg, the
regional manager for CHOC
Childhood Cancer Foundation
in East London, said though
early detection was vital, the
Covid-19 pandemic had
diminished their ability to go
out into communities to
promote awareness about the
early detection signs for
childhood cancer.
Kleinenberg said c h i l d re n
and their families were arriving
at CHOC far into the late
stages of cancer, and this
would continue to be a
problem unless the Buffalo
City community joined to
promote awareness on the
importance of early detection.
Kleinenberg said as part of
efforts to promote early
detection, CHOC East London
had established awareness
and education programmes
among local traditional healers
and clinic health professionals.
In high-income countries,
where comprehensive services
are more accessible, more
than 80% of children with
cancer are cured. In low- and
middle-income countries, less
than 30% are cured.
In East London, most
families are unable to afford
the high cost of treatment and
CHOC steps in to provide this
support.
Kleinenberg said local
fundraising and awareness
events that community
members, schools and
businesses had o rg a n i s e d
throughout 2022 had played
an invaluable role in providing
quality of life for children at the
CHOC home.
In the next few years,
CHOC East London plans to
move its two homes in Beacon
Bay off the grid with respect to
energy, power and water and
Kleinenberg urged anyone
with expertise or funds to
assist to get involved in this
e n d e a v o u r.
CHOC East London
provides the following services
to state and private patients at
no cost:
Psychosocial support – a
full-time CHOC social worker
is based in the Paediatric
Oncology Unit at F re re
Hospital. She forms an integral
part of the multi-disciplinary
team and is there for support
from diagnosis onwards.
Accommodation, meals
and transport – this is provided
at the two CHOC Houses at no
cost to families.
Practical support – this
includes care bags for newlydiagnosed
patients, a CHOC
Interactive Learning
Programme that gives patients
the opportunity to learn new
skills and also for the children
to advance with their
schoolwork, a mother’s skills
programme, and bereavement
support when required.
Volunteer programme –
volunteers are the backbone
of the organisation and
support the CHOC staff in
various areas like at the ward,
the home, and also with
events, fundraising and
a w a re n e s s .
Awareness, training and
advocacy – talks on the early
warning signs of childhood
cancer and also training, as
well as lobbying for
government support of
childhood c a n c e r.

Importance
of nourishing
our souls
There is a
strong
body of
opinion that
views our souls
as existing since
the beginning of
time, and which
contends that
our earthly
existence is but
an infinitesimal
part of an
e t e r n i t y.
This defies
the
REFLECTIONS
ROY HEWETT
understanding of most mere mortals, yet it follows
logically that immeasurable benefits may be
gained by purposefully engaging our souls.
Self-awareness and meaningful communion
with one’s soul are privileges bestowed upon only
a small proportion of humanity. For the vast
majority, we are caught up in the busyness of our
lives and are prisoners of the daily rush to survive.
We are also too busy trying to please others,
wearing masks and hiding our true selves.
As in most things in life, the growth and
development of our wellbeing and contentment,
communion with the universe and being in
accord with our souls, depend on nourishment,
and thrive when nurtured. We would do well to
feed our souls.
But what feeds a soul? How can we nourish,
engage and commune with our souls? What
changes to our lifestyles and attitudes are
essential if we are to tune in to the universe?
William Henry Channing suggests that our
daily living and attitudes play a significant role in
his advice to “live content with small means; seek
elegance rather than luxury, and refinement
rather than fashion; be worthy, not respectable,
and wealthy, not rich; listen to stars and birds,
babes and sages, with open heart; study hard;
think quietly, act frankly, talk gently, await
occasions, hurry never; in a word, let the
spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up
through the common”.
Here are two other views on how to raise
levels of consciousness to get closer to healthy
communion:
Aaron Lauritsen refers to the “highway of
g ra c e ” being far more conducive to getting
somewhere fast than the “freeway of spite”.
Life Learning advises that we need to outgrow
the worlds beneath us to grow “into the worlds
above us, realising the higher realms of
consciousness within us”.
Not surprisingly, much of the literature about
souls and the universe propagates simplicity in
life, regular interactions with nature, the arts and
creative activities, conservation and health
services. Music has a particularly significant role
to play in nourishment for the soul, as does
healthy sport. There is a strong theme of concern
for all life, the environment, our planet and the
wellbeing of our fellow humans. Recognition of
the interrelationships of all beings and things
(plants and animals) is central to the desired
communion.
Regarding all of us and what are considered to
be essential stepping stones to higher levels of
consciousness, are three key elements in our
makeup. Without love in the purest sense of the
word, authenticity to self and others,
and integrity in thoughts and dealings with all,
the soul will be starved and communion with the
Universe, stifled, William Ward-inspired.
Those immeasurably impactful concepts are
supported by the advice from an unknown source
which could help to facilitate their realisation.
It contends that we should love without
condition, talk without bad intention, give
without any reason and, most importantly, care
for people without any expectation.
Each life’s journey runs its unique course, but
we are all permitted to try to make ours more
meaningful. Those who attain the higher levels of
consciousness which facilitate feeding of the soul,
will be closer to worthwhile communion with the
u n ive r s e .

communion with one’s soul are
privileges bestowed upon only a
small proportion of humanity

Heritage Day celebrated with pride

Stark increase in child-headed homes in Pefferville leads to NPO
TAMMY FRAY
According to Paul Cromhout from the
Small Projects Fund, 10% of Buffalo
City’s population is made up of
orphaned and vulnerable children
heading households on their own.
Geraldine Ruiters is familiar with
this statistic, having lived this reality as
a child.
As an adult, she was horrified to
discover that child-headed households
are growing in number, prompting her
to start her non-profit organisation,
G e ra l d i n e ’s Child and Youth Multipurpose
Centre for vulnerable youth
and indigent persons in Pefferville.
Cromhout said the huge number of
child-headed households in the city
was due to a combination of factors;
primarily the legacy of inaccessible

in the Pefferville area, providing support to vulnerable children and the
elderly. Pictures: SUPPLIED
anti-retroviral treatment for HIV
affected mothers, as well as
abandonment by parents employed in
cities far away from the home.
In her own area, Ruiters said it was
sad to see child-headed households
were growing in number, and that once
that responsibility was placed on a
child, their chances of finishing school
were severely compromised.
Ruiters said youth living in the
Pefferville area fell prey to harmful
behaviours because of their domestic
c o n s t ra i n t s .
Cromhout said social workers in the
metro tried to assist children trapped in
this situation and in 2022 had been
able to assist 2,000 children with
support.
This had enabled children to stay in
school despite their difficult home
c i rc u m s t a n c e s .
Social workers have also helped
these vulnerable children access grants,
certificates such as IDss and other
necessary documentation so that they
are able to secure financial support
from state departments.
In identifying child-headed
households, Ruiters’ organisation plays
a pivotal role as a bridge to authorities
that are able to assist.
Since the establishment of her NGO
in June, Ruiters has been able to
provide food, home-based care and
shelter for children and the elderly in
her area. To assist operations, Ruiters
adopted a piece of land through the
m u n i c i p a l i t y.
She runs her work from this space,
however, urgently needs assistance
with infrastructure such as container or
a mobile structure.
“For any person to ask for any kind
of assistance takes a lot of guts and
bravery and working from my home is
a challenge because then I am forced to
compromise the confidentiality and
privacy of the people I assist and this is
an insult to their dignity.
“If we had a small office space I
could better protect and respect
people’s dignity.”
“I think the Pefferville community is
the most vulnerable community yet it is
overlooked big time,” she said.

The first annual Heritage Super
Rugby Tournament took place at
Police Park in East London on
September 24 and 25.
The special rugby games
included teams from around the
city which compete in the Super
League, First Division and B-
Stream.
The event aimed to highlight
r u g by ’s vast legacy in the region
and instill pride in the younger
generation of players.
EL Police won 15-10 against
Young Leopards in the Super
League, while Winter Rose beat
Cranes 10-5 in the First
D iv i s i o n .
The organisers said the event
would provide a great platform
for local clubs to gain exposure
and hopefully lead to their
admittance to bigger and wellestablished
tournaments.
“Heritage, even in rugby, is
very important and it is
important to honour our legends
and learn from them,” organiser
Ayanda Mateisi said.
“We want to acknowledge
everyone who has contributed
in some way to the impact the
sport has made in East London,
including the managers and
t ra i n e r s .
“As a former player myself, I
can say the impact current
Springbok players like Makazole
Mapimpi has is important,
because he has shown that even
if he came from a poor
background, he has made it to
playing for the national team.
“So we need to appreciate
and honour these people.”
The two-day event included
club rugby games, a dinner for
the clubs, and live music.
Baseball development receives international boost
TAMMY FRAY
Lwazi Mlondolozi, the
founder and coach of Th e
Mdantsane Eagles Baseball
Club, will be providing
coaching clinics to schools
and clubs in Buffalo City
and Nelson Mandela Bay
throughout October, in
collaboration with visiting
coaches from Play Global.
Mlodonlozi’s pioneering
efforts to revive baseball as a
sporting code in the
Mdantsane area saw him
win the Nestle Barone One
Starters Award, which is
awarded to people who
contribute positively to their
communities.
Play Global is a non
profit organisation that
teaches baseball to coaches
and youth in developing
OVERSEAS SUPPORT: From left, Buffalo City Baseball

countries and areas of
conflict.
Kevin Smith, from the
US, is one of Play Global’s
coaches who will be joining
Mlondolozi in a month-long
programme that will cover
the basics of baseball.
The first session will be
held at Sakisizwe High
School in Mdantsane on
October 1.
Smith will lead the first
session, which will focus on
the basics of pitching.
Mlodonlozi hopes P l ay
Global’s involvement in
grassroots baseball
development will
encourage the department
of sports, arts, culture &
recreation to give greater
support to different types of
sporting codes.
“The department
prioritises sports such as
rugby and ignores the
developing codes.
“If they can tap into the
small codes they will realise
a lot of development is
happening locally.”
Smith and Play Global
will also help Mlondonlozi
and local baseball coaches
to establish clubs.
Mlondolozi said s ch o o l s
prioritised sports such as
rugby because of future job
opportunities, which
smaller sporting codes often
did not offer.
However, he said the
skills learnt and improved
quality of life gained from
playing any sport was
hugely beneficial.
Mlondolozi will be
holding awareness events to
promote baseball.
Play Global has
committed to supply
baseball-related resources
in Buffalo City, depending
on the availability of funds.
Regarding the problem
of theft and vandalism of
sports facilities, Smith said:
“Th e f t of resources happens
everywhere, not just in
South Africa but when we
push through those
problems we can reach a
stage in our communities
where people protect the
resources because they are
proud of their local teams
and athletes and that pride
is what we want to cultivate
as Play Global.”
