Vincent Park in
celebration mode
TAMMY FRAY
Local flagship mall Vincent Park
shopping centre turned 50 on
October 1.
Vincent Park opened in October
1972 and has a rich legacy that is
intertwined with the development of
the city.
It was formerly a hotel before it was
purchased in the 70s by Old Mutual
and converted into a shopping mall
with Pick n Pay as its anchor tenant.
Since its establishment, the centre
has grown to 37,000m² of trading
space with over 80 tenants, including
all of the major banks, South African
retail brands and international fashion
retailer H&M. Vincent Park is an
industry leader as it is recognised
nationally through the South African
Council of Shopping Centres annual
Footprint Marketing Awards.
Over the years the mall has become
synonymous with family values and
Mariaan Hartwig, the marketing
m a n a g e r, said throughout the year they
had tried to build on this.
The events hosted at the mall such
as the hey!Clay! pop-up workshops
were designed to give local families an
opportunity to try new experiences
together and build memories tied to the
mall.
Joseph Parsley, portfolio manager
for Vincent Park, said the East London
community has been an integral part of
Vincent Park’s success and the mall
FAMILY FAVOURITE: To celebrate
50 years, patrons at Vincent Park
shopping centre were included in
raffles, pop-up photo-booths and a
number of other activities at the
mall.

supported the local economy by
providing businesses with a platform
from which to trade as well as
employment for hundreds of locals.
In addition to Pick n Pay, both
Wimpy and Chez François were initial
anchor businesses in the mall. Chez
François also celebrated 50 years on
October 1 and principle stylist Candice
Wittstock said the salon had benefited
greatly from its place in the mall.
“Being in the mall has been perfect
for the salon because we get walk-ins
all the time, which is good for business.
Our spot exposes us to a wide range of
clients. Our patrons are wonderful and
we wish the mall and ourselves 50
more years of success.”
The salon hopes the next 50 years
will allow it to grow to employ more
stylists and invest in the retail sector.

Beloved EL theatre turns 60
FAITH MTWANA
The East London Guild Theatre is
celebrating 60 years since it first
opened its doors on October 6 1962.
The iconic theatre has staged m a ny
outstanding productions, from drama,
dance and musical showcases to
concerts, comedy, magic shows and
more.
The first ever production showcased
at the theatre was a British comedy
called School for Scandal, which was
directed by Mary Howe who imported
costumes from London for the show.
Situated in the heart of East London,
the Guild Theatre has stood strong
despite financial challenges and the
Covid-19 pandemic.
Despite this, the theatre has still
managed to stage big productions that
run for weeks at a time, and has backup
so shows can continue during
loadshedding.
One of the most notable events
staged at the Guild Theatre is the
Umtiza Arts Festival. This year’s vibrant
f e s t iva l , showcasing artists from all over
Buffalo City, included singing, dancing
and acting.
Other notable staged shows were
the various dance performances by the
Sonwa Sakuba Institute for the
Performing Arts, the Tracy Delport
Dance Company Studio and the
Christian Dance Academy.
Andre the Hilarious Hypnotist, who
has performed at the theatre for more
than 30 years, has only the fondest
memories.
“I knew the first day I arrived at the
Guild Theatre that everything about the
theatre just worked.
“Thirty-three years later I am still
enjoying everything the theatre
p r ov i d e s .
“A very happy 60th birthday to the
theatre and the staff that make the
magic happen.
“I look forward to the next 30 years
at the Guild Theatre,” he said.
Tracy Delport, who has showcased
Carel du Toit pupils take to street for Deaf Awareness week
many of her dance productions at the
theatre, said she appreciated the
professional service she had received
from the theatre’s staff over the years.
“I appreciate the staff so much.
Zane, Jonathan and Andre always go
above and beyond for us.
“Thank you to them and happy
s i x t i e t h ,” said Delport.
The theatre’s chairperson,
Malwande Ntisana, said the Guild
played a pivotal role in giving artists
from all over the Eastern Cape a
platform to showcase their work.
“This theatre isn’t just for East
London, we have artists from as far as
Aliwal North and Kokstad.
“We ’ve also had artists like Msaki,
Sonwa and Tats Nkonzo perform as
young upcoming artists and returning
later on as well as established artists in
the industry.
“I’m also excited to see young
children who are starting out as dancers
from a young age and watch them as
they grow,” said Ntisana.
TAMMY FRAY
On September 29, students,
parents and teachers from the
Carel du Toit Centre took to the
street in a short demonstration
in honour of Deaf Awareness
We e k .
The centre is a non-profit
organisation for preschool
children diagnosed with hearing
impairments. It assists children
who have cochlear implants
and other assistive devices to
strengthen the development of
their language, listening and
comprehension skills.
Principal at Carel du Toit
and 2022 winner of the
Gonubie Lions Melvin Jones
fellow award, Paula Cooper,
said ongoing efforts to raise
awareness about hearing loss
was important as i n t e r ve n t i o n s
to assist those born with hearing
loss must happen within the first
three years of a child’s life.
“Children with hearing loss
are very visual and touch is
heightened, so because their
senses overcompensate for the
impaired one, it takes longer for
hearing loss to be detected,” she
said. “It is something you can
miss as a parent.
“Most parents tend to notice
only when they realise that by
the age of one the child is not
speaking. However, by then it is
too late because the child will
have to catch up on a whole
year of language learning.”
Early intervention is critical
and Cooper encourages parents
to bring their children to the
centre immediately after
cochlear implant surgery.
The overall goal is to
develop children to the level at
which they can attend in
mainstream schools without any
barriers to access.
This year, the centre
renovated its garage area into a
charity shop to raise funds for
operational costs. However
Cooper said they were looking
for sponsors for i n d iv i d u a l
students as costs included
medical assistance from
audiologists as well as providing
meals and activities for children.
Mom Janine Martin,said she
has seen a huge difference in
her child’s development since
he arrived at the school. She
said parents supported the
centre’s efforts as it affirmed to
the children their disability was
not anything to be ashamed of.

Talented tweens
shine in school play
CROSSWORD number 1300
FAITH MTWANA
Genre: Play, Disney, Adventure
Cambridge Primary
School pupils h ave
proven that their talents
are worth keeping an eye on
with their school play, Disney’s
The Little Mermaid.
The pupils recently put on
their own rendition of the
Disney fairytale and blew the
audience away with their
stunning showcase of brilliant
acting and beautiful vocals.
Although the storyline had to
remain unchanged due to
copyrights, the young actors
were able to add their own
personality to the characters
they played.
The story of The Little
Mermaid is a well-known tale
that has had multiple remakes,
including an upcoming liveaction
remake set to be released
in 2023.
One of the talking points on
social media about the 2023
remake is the fact that a black
girl, Halle Bailey, has been cast
in the role of Ariel. The diversity
that Cambridge embraces as a
school was on full display.
Performances worth noting
included Eyiva Mhatu as Ariel,
Buhlebenkosi Gaula as
Sebastian, Ayazingca
Ramnowana as Ursula, Skylar
Cloete as Prince Chris and Lulo
Mdibi as Flounder.
These characters are perhaps
the best known from the movie,
and these children gave them
new life with their refreshing
renditions of the classic songs
Part of Your World, Under the
Sea and Poor Unfortunate Souls.

Lou Lou’s Eatery born from love of cooking
FAITH MTWANA
QWhen and how was your
business idea born?
AThe business idea was born
while I was in grade 8 in
Port Elizabeth. That was when I
was taught how to cook by my
grandmother. I fell in love with
cooking and I knew then that I
would own a restaurant one day.
What do you offer?
Lou Lou’s Eatery serves
balanced meals, nutritional with
protein, oils and carbs. We
serve quality food that is yummy
and delicious at an affordable
rate. We deliver food around the
East London CBD area.
How did you come up with
your menu?
The menu is basically what I
have learned from home. It is
what we had during the week as
our supper and dinner so I
created a menu from that.
How many people do you work
GO!PEOPLE
Luyanda Mtyeku
with?
I have one assistant cook and
two temporary cooks.
What are some of the major
challenges you have faced?
I have previously had workers
who were not committed and
dedicated to do the work, and
did not follow the vision. It
made it difficult for the business
to run smoothly. Moving from a
busy geographic area to a quiet
area in Quigney has been a
challenging for the business as
we had to adopt to the area.
What advice would you give to
someone looking to start their
own food business?
I would say approach the NYDA
offices, as they have a lot to offer
to entrepreneurs. Be patient
with them as there are many of
us. I started attending their Small
Business Entrepreneurship
Studies. And from there you can
continued seeking assistance
towards your vision.
How have you adapted your
business for challenges such as
loadshedding?
I have adapted very well in my
business as I have the passion,
vision, mission and goals so I
am flexible in this business as it
changes every day. I need to be
flexible and alive. Loadshedding
does not really affect
me as I cook using gas and we
operating during the day.
How do you fund your
business/do you have any
sponsors or donors?
There are sponsors and donors
and I keep applying every day
and approaching different
people to assist the business.
Where can people find you?
Your social media handles?
I am currently operating at

Bursary launch for John Bisseker pupils
TAMMY FRAY
Former minister of public
administration Geraldine
Fraser-Moleketi visited
John Bisseker Secondary School
on September 30 to launch a
bursary for a deserving student,
in honour of her late father,
Arthur Fraser.
Fraser was a maths and
science teacher in the Cape
Peninsula but was born and
raised in the Eastern Cape and
attended John Bisseker Sec as a
teen. The Frasers have left an
imprint in SA through their
contribution in various spheres
of society through politics,
public service, business and
sport, among others, with a
clear commitment to social
justice and more.
Fraser-Moleketi said this
bursary was a small gesture
from the Fraser family to
encourage pupils at a public
school in a challenging
community setting to strive for
excellence through education.
This year Fraser would have
turned 90 and in honour of his
l e g a cy, his family has decided to
donate a R10,000 bursary
towards the current first place
matric student in maths and
science at the school.
John Bisseker is grateful for
this contribution, given its
ongoing efforts to create a
robust alumnus network that
can contribute towards
developing the school.
Fraser-Moleketi has also
pledged to donate a second
bursary towards next year’s top
maths and science pupil and the
school believes this will
encourage better performance
in these subjects among the
matric class of 2023.
John Bisseker educator
Brenda Appollis said the
recipient of the bursary had to
be be a hard-working and
diligent pupil who wanted to
study further. The money will
help towards registration fees,
transport and books.
Fraser-Moleketi said her
father had been committed to
working in schools with at-risk
youth from low-income
backgrounds and believed in
making education accessible to
a l l ch i l d r e n .
“He was a passionate
teacher who was innovative in
developing the interest of pupils
in the sciences.The intention of
this incentive is to encourage
matriculants to excel in the
s c i e n c e s ,” she said.
“Our wish is that they will
plough back into John Bisseker
when they are successful.”

Potholes a huge
problem for BCM
FAITH MTWANA
Potholes are an unfortunate
reality that many Buffalo
City Municipality
residents are forced to deal with.
The rainy weather East
London has been experiencing
over the last few months has
exposed the terrible conditions
of the roads and the potholes
that have become a headache
for road users.
Residents living in
Tewksbury Road have been
forced to use alternative routes
as driving on these roads is a risk
to their safety and could
damage their cars.
Other problematic roads
around BCM include Wembley
Drive in Cambridge, St Peters
Road in Southernwood,
Jennings Road in Cambridge
West, Parkridge Road in
Pefferville and Park Avenue
Road in Parkside, among others.
A worker at one of the stores
in The Hub Complex in Beacon
Bay says customers have
complained multiple times
about the potholes at the
entrances to the complex.
“Our customers sometimes
complain about how bad the
road is when they come in to
the complex. We have
addressed the issue with
landlords but nothing has been
d o n e ,” he said.
A Beacon Bay patron, who
wants to remain anonymous
because she is also a municipal
worker, says the potholes are
financial liability for residents.
“The potholes are affecting

me because everything has
gone up. If you lose a tyre and
you have to pay to have it fixed,
that is a lot of money that you
did not budget for. It is
especially worse on rainy days
because then you don’t even see
the potholes,” she said.
A sub-contractor contracted
by Imonti Construction says the
biggest issues the roads are
faced with are wear and tear
caused by lack of maintenance.
Councillor Frederick Pohl of
ward 28 explained there were
many issues preventing the
immediate solving of the issue.
“The Buffalo Metro
Municipality must realise a
proper programme for the resealing
of our streets has to be
started. It is, however, in many
instances too late to start such a
programme. Some of our streets
need rebuilding since the
foundations are severely
affected by years of neglected
maintenance.
“It is indeed the task of the
municipality to repair potholes.
“Unfortunately, it is very
difficult to start any programme
to improve our streets without
funding. We must, however,
realise that all these processes
take time, time that was stolen
by years of neglect by BCMM to
do proper maintenance of the
i n f ra s t r u c t u r e ,” he said.
Bonza Bay Road was in the
process of being repaired on
Monday afternoon.
A DV E RTO R I A L
Arthritis causing joint pain and inflammation
Ageing is often accompanied
with an all-too-common
presentation of aches and
pains that come with the
degeneration of our joints.
The cartilage in our joints,
the cushioning or shock
absorbers, cannot regenerate
like it used to when we were
young and full of bounce. This
loss of the cushioning or
erosion in our joints can result
in degenerative patterns such
as arthritis or osteoarthritis.
This leads to pain, stiffness
and chronic joint inflammation,
manifested as lack of mobility
and intense pain especially felt
in our knees, hips and other
joints that take the highest
impact because of activity.
Traditionally the only
solutions have been to use
NSAIDs and other over-thecounter
anti-inflammatory
medicines to reduce pain, but
these may effect the gut lining,
liver and kidneys, even if used
in moderation. Moreover,
these medicines only manage
the symptoms and do not treat
the root cause, which is the
erosion of cartilage.
But new, safer alternatives,
have recently been found.
NEM, or Natural Egg Shell
Membrane, a special type of
hydrolysed collagen, has been
clinically proven to show
incredible breakthrough
effects by stimulating the
regeneration of cartilage and
reducing the severe pain and
lack of mobility associated with
arthritis within days.
Studies show NEM reduces
urine markers of key indicators
for cartilage loss, turnover and
degradation to almost zero,
while lowering key markers of

How deep is the rot?
Students of history would certainly
have developed an acute awareness
of the devastating role played by
corruption in the affairs of man
since time immemorial.
Some would argue that we are
dealing with and are all a part of
“Fallen Man”, and it is just the
degree of its prevalence that
distinguishes
countries and
societies from each
o t h e r.
Regarding SA,
the sweep of our
history records the
story of
indigenous, largely
nomadic peoples
occupying mainly
the southern parts
REFLECTIONS
ROY HEWETT
of the country,
colonisation by
Europeans,
importing of slave
and indentured
labour, migrations of peoples from
central and sub-Saharan Africa, and
a melting pot of skirmishes, wars
and conflicts over land ownership
and rights.
While the merits of the claims of
different interest groups are beyond
the scope of this article, the reality is
that the political circumstances
have always been a fertile breeding
ground for alarming levels of
devastating corruption in our
country ... and there seem to have
been extremely enthusiastic
participants.
Lord Acton’s 19th century
contention that: “Power corrupts,
and absolute power corrupts
absolutely “, has been seen to apply
irrespective of which political party
or group has been in power
throughout our history. Greed,
disregard for human rights, selfenrichment
and clandestine,
underhand dealings have been the
norm. But many believe — and
ongoing commissions,
whistleblower revelations and
POSITION: Junior Reporter
PUBLICATIONS: GO&Express, & GO&ExpressLIVE
LOCATION: East London
investigative journalism discoveries
support the view — that corruption
has gone particularly rogue and
become disturbingly rampant
during the 21st century.
The rot seems to have permeated
all levels to the extent that much of
our state is alleged to have been
captured, state-owned enterprises
have been severely
compromised and
service delivery
continues to
deteriorate at an
alarming rate.
The very
infrastructure of our
country is at serious
risk; load- shedding,
contaminated water
supplies, a bankrupt
national airline,
roads in dangerous
disrepair, bankrupt
municipalities and
many poor people
going insolvent ... the disturbing list
goes on. And the evidence of
alleged top-level government
officials’ involvement is
frighteningin the extreme.
Equally disquieting allegations
of obfuscation, obstruction, coverups
and outright dishonesty by law
enforcement agencies and arms of
the judiciary, ring alarm bells as
never before in our country. An
observation by this writer seems to
have relevance: “When the law
takes a back seat and corruption
drives the car, we are heading for
unmitigated disaster.”—RM
Hewett
As history and current processes
play themselves out in SA, leaders
and concerned citizens would be
well-advised to examine some of
the literature regarding corruption:
“Corruption is a cancer, a cancer
that eats away at a citizen’s faith in
democracy, diminishes the instinct
for innovation and creativity.”— Jo e
Biden, former vice-president (and
current president) of the US.

East Coast Sports and Buffalo
City Tennis will be hosting the
first-ever Buffalo City Junior
Tennis Tournament on October 15.
The tournament aims to revive
grassroots tennis, especially for
children attending schools in lowincome
areas.
The tournament, which is
sponsored by Ziyifour and Kumkani
FM hopes to initiate more
development in club tennis,
enhance talent identification and
increase capacity building of
coaches, officials and
a d m i n i s t ra t o r s .
The tournament will be held at
Selborne Park Tennis Club and will
run for an entire day, from 8am to
5pm.
All are invited, whether at
beginner or advanced level.
The programme includes a
workshop on the basics of the
game, coaching clinics on form and
sessions on the importance of sport
for mental and physical health,
among other developmental areas.
Students from u/10 to u/18 from
schools across the metro are invited
to attend.
East Coast Sports is a local NPO
that hopes to develop sport among
the youth, especially in low-income
areas.
East Coast Sports director Lifa
Sompuku said: “Tennis as a sport is
not known in our black community.
The intention is to take tennis to the
people, with the help of the
municipality, departments of sport
and education and local businesses.
“We want to see tennis played in
Mdantsane, Duncan Village and
rural areas around East London,”
Sompuku said.
Old Selbornian
15km returns
TAMMY FRAY
After a two-year absence due to
Covid-19, the Mercedes-Benz
Old Selbornian 15km race
returned on October 2.
Mercedes-Benz has been sponsoring
the race for more than 30 years and its
presence was sorely missed as runners
across the metro make use of the race to
train for upcoming fixtures such as the
Amathole Marathon, which is scheduled
to take place this year on October 9.
The route was fairly uncomplicated,
with a double lap that started at Old
Selbornian through to Beach Road and
down towards Gleneagles.
Race winner Anele Dlamini came in
at 46:06 minutes, followed closely by
Yanga Malusi at 46:56 and Malixole
Kalideni came in third at 49:00. Dlamini
maintained the first position throughout
the race and enjoyed a comfortable lead
until the end when Malusi kicked into
overdrive to make a last attempt to catch
up at Gleneagles Street.
The race includes a 15km and a 5km
section, with entrants for the 15km at
over 300 participants this year.
Organiser from Old Selbornian Jan
Labuschagne saidt the turnout for the
year was exceptional as, after two years,
athletes were excited by the opportunity
to compete. “We are very happy to have
Mercedes and local business support us

because this race is a big part of East
London.
“It means a lot to the local
community to have runs to look forward
to on the weekends, especially after
Comrades, and so businesses that get
i nvo l ve d , like Mercedes-Benz, know
that their support means a lot because it
is good to have local fixtures supported
by the local community instead of
always expecting local athletes to spend
large sums of money to compete in
different cities,” Labuschagne said.
Old Selbornian hosts club runs for
everyone on Wednesday evenings and
the next big fixture will be the PWC
Night Race in January 2023.
