EL chef set to cook for FIFA
Catering business owner scores big
FAITH MTWANA
East London’s Fa z e l
Bezuidenhout is on his
way to join a team of
other chefs at the FIFA World
Cup 2022 in Qatar.
Bezuidenhout, the owner
of Fazel’s Gourmet Foods, has
been working towards this
dream moment for many
years, despite also battling
drug addiction for more than
16 years.
“I am so blessed. This is
such a great achievement for
me. It is a perfect opportunity
for me to grow my career.
“I am excited to design
and execute a menu filled
with typical South African
f o o d ,” said Bezuidenhout.
Bezuidenhout and his
wife, Lemaec, have been
running their business
together since 2020.
Bezuidenhout had been
working on a cruise ship but
unfortunately lost his job
when the Covid-19 pandemic
hit.
“It was a tough time for all
of us. I realised that I have
cooking experience from my
years at culinary school, and
I’ve worked in many kitchens
across the world. I love
cooking so I decided to go for
it. It has been going great so
far. Some months are better
than others but we have been
doing well for ourselves,” said
Bezuidenhout.
The catering business is
run from the couple’s home.
Bezuidenhout said they
catered to clients’ requests
and he also offered his own
menu ideas.
Bezuidenhout has
experience working in
kitchens in Dubai, Abu
Dhabi, the famous Emperor’s
Palace in Johannesburg and
Princess Cruises.
When he was younger, he
sadly lost many big job
opportunities because of his
drug addiction, which began
when he was in high school.
“My life was a mess for a
very long time, but then I
went to rehab and started
going to NA meetings.
Cooking was my saving grace.
“I want to now also do the
same for others.
“One of my heart’s desires
is to help and train recovery
addicts and create
employment for them as
ch e f s ,” said Bezuidenhout.
The following students
from The Blue Ribbon
Catering & Hospitality School
will also be heading to Qatar
as chefs for the FIFA World
Cup: Minentle Blair, Odwa
Memza, Tayla-Jade Marais,
Rierie Konyana, Aphiwe
Lamani and Nasiphi Mafeje.

Fantasy film more for teens
FAITH MTWANA
CROSSWORD number 1303
Genre: Fantasy, teen drama,
a d ve n t u re
The School of Good and
Evil is a film adaptation of
a series of best-selling
books by author Soman
Chainani (who also makes a
brief cameo).
Set in a fantasy world, two
best friends, Sophie (Sophia Ann
Caruso) and Agatha (Sofia
Wylie) find themselves on
opposing sides of an epic battle
when they are swept away to an
enchanted school where
aspiring heroes and villains are
trained to protect the balance
between good and evil.
Caruso and Wylie bring the
friendship dynamic to life with
their on-screen chemistry.
They also hold their own
against Hollywood giants
Charlize Theron, Laurence
Fishburne, Kerry Washington
and Michelle Yeoh, who all give
colourful performances as the
s ch o o l ’s teachers.
The storyline follows the
typical fantasy film trope, such
as that of Harry Potter and
Descendants.
While the movie focuses
mostly on Sophie’s dismay at
GO! REVIEW
The School of Good and Evil
being assigned to the School for
Evil and Agatha’s trouble with
fitting in and desire to just go
home with her friend, it also
digs into what truly makes one
inherently good or evil and the
outlandish expectations that the
schools put on their students.
At two hours and 27
minutes, this Netflix film is quite
drawn out because of a few
lengthy fight scenes and
montages.
The CGI-heavy film feels
more like a Nickolodean/
Disney creation.
It is clearly a film aimed at
teenagers, with the dialogue
and plot points quite
predictable.
Readers of the books will
most likely appreciate the
various elements of the film
more, otherwise this is a good,
light-hearted fantasy story to
pass the time.
The School of Good and Evil
is on Netflix.

Keep dreaming, producer says
CREATIVE ARTS: Talented artists from various municipalities
showcase their work at the recent Battle of Municipalities
Talent Search. Picture: SUPPLIED
Winning BOM Talent
Search artists announced
FAITH MTWANA
The winning artists in the Battle
of Municipalities (BOM) Talent
Search have been announced,
with their paintings displayed at
the Ann Bryant Art Gallery until
October 22.
The two main categories
were painting and mixed art;
and pencil and charcoal
d raw i n g s .
Lutho Mgijima and Jenna
Wheatley were awarded the first
and second prizes respectively
for the painting/mixed art
categories.
Khangelani Makasi received
first prize in the pencil/charcoal
category, and Beverley Bauer
the second prize.
The talent search served as
an opportunity for artists to
express and re-imagine a better
society free of the present social,
political, environmental and
economic struggles.
The central theme was hope
– as an embodiment of what
BOM stands for and envisions
for the future.
Event organiser Sydney
Qoqonga said the event was
significant because it gave artists
the chance to share their
perspectives and help bring new
views on many societal issues.
“The Eastern Cape is very
rich in creative arts and there is
a lot of talent that needs to be
nourished and supported.
“We need many
stakeholders, government and
the private sector to come on
board and help take the creative
space further,” said Qoqonga.
“I strongly believe c r e a t ive
artists will be the ones who will
bring change to many societal
issues that we face today by
addressing them through their
art. They just need support,” he
said.
All the artists were invited to
take part in the Hope Art
Exhibition at the East London
ICC as part of the BOM Talent
S e a rch .
FAITH MTWANA
QYou have recently been
appointed as a junior
creative producer at Urban
Brew Studios. What does your
job entail?
AIt is a dream come true. I’ve
always imagined myself
working alongside the late
Akhumzi Jezile and Dr Musa
Mthombeni.
My job is reviewing shows,
finding creative ways to make
them better, relevant and
relatable to South Africans.
I revamp shows and come
up with new concepts that we
can pitch to channels, not just
SABC but streaming platforms
including Netflix and Amazon.
What did you study? How has
this helped in your career?
I studied a Bachelor of Visual
Arts, which doesn’t have
anything to do with television.
It did, however, prepare my
creative eye. Every chance I got
inbetween classes I’d go to the
media department at Nelson
Mandela University. I knew
what I wanted and always wa n t
more in life. I practically taught
myself a lot about television.
What are some of the
challenges you faced?
The only challenge I ever had
was being the only one who
believes in my dream. I
remember being unemployed
and thinking about how useless
my qualification was.
GO! PEOPLE
Lunga Ngcabashe
I had to be proactive, and
find creative ways of making it
work. I didn’t have a cent, but
being home in the rural areas of
Tsomo in Transkei, my youth
projects kept me going.
The young people in my
community helped me keep my
fire burning throughout the two
years of idling with no income.
What advice would you give to
someone facing this struggle?
Many young people send me
DMs looking to be mentored.
I’ve always believed in myself,
and my goal was clear.
I want to say, young people,
you are not lazy, just try your
best. Applying [for jobs] every
day isn’t enough.
I’ve been depressed but I
found innovative ways to keep
busy. Find your passion, base
your life around that and keep
moving towards your dreams.
Which of the awards yo u ’ve
received mean the most to you?
The awards were just
recognition of the work by my
youth. If it was for me, an award
must come with R1m to change
the circumstances of young
people from rural areas. I am
grateful for the awards but I just
want to be impactful in society.
We need resources, and if
government reduced the red
tape, we’d get the boost needed.
You worked as actress Lusanda
Mbane’s personal assistant,
what did you learn from this?
Working for a celebrity was
everything one can dream of. I
learnt so much from the lady
about hard work.
Every minute of every day
she is thinking of ways to bring
money in. I’ve seen her do five
things at once; the hectic
schedule, travelling, businesses,
TV sets. I think our energies
connected instantly because of
the drive and determination.
What practical advice can you
share with unemployed
graduates to keep motivated?
As an unemployed graduate, I
woke up every day to jog. I
meditated on the word of God a
lot. I am a firm believer of Christ
and I am a spiritual being , so
praying is the most important
part of my journey. However,
faith without action is dead, so
work towards that goal. I suggest
you volunteer, be present and
aware of where you want to be.
Future career goals?
Netflix is definitely where you
will see my name. I’m in the
process of just stepping up and
taking up the space.

During this year, the school

A teacher at the school,
Carrol Waddell, said the school
had successfully maintained
attendance of 93% this year due
to the implementation of its
transport service and providing
meals for pupils every day.
In addition, the s ch o o l ’s
sports programmes had been
revived since the Covid
lockdown, with teams taking
part in local tournaments.

classes.
The school has also secured
approval from the Department
of Education to offer more
subject choices for next year,
which include consumer
studies, digital technology and
computer application
t e ch n o l o g y.
Waddell said by October
2023, the school hoped to have
developed its sports fields, built
a computer lab and
implemented plans towards
building its college campus.
“We provide our pupils with
a very high-quality education
and try to help them be solution
finders. We want to enable our
pupils to be ready for the real
world through our learning
programme but also through our
skills development centre.
“Here they have the
opportunity to learn baking,

Gonubie Scouts’ tour ‘u n f o rg e t t a b l e ’
The 2nd Gonubie Scouts Group
travelled to Gqeberha through
to George from September 31
to October 8 as part of a tour to
meet new Scout groups,
introduce recruits to other
members and share ideas.
The Scouts were tested on
an array of skills such as map
wo r k , first aid, abseiling drills,
rowing and capsize procedures,
as well as cooking.
First up, the Gonubie Scouts
met up with the 1st Walmer
Scout Group from Gqeberha for
a leadership course.
They were then taught first
aid, knot work and Morse code
with the Plettenberg Bay Scouts,
and met with the Knysna Scouts
to learn axe safety.
They then completed a
hedge maze activity with the
Sedgefield Scouts at Redberry
Farm, and camped with the 1st
George Scouts.
Jarryd Main, 2nd Gonubie
Scouts official, said: “It was one
of the biggest events the Eastern
Cape, East London district,
Gonubie has ever
accomplished and was planned
entirely by the Scouts of 2nd
Gonubie scout troop.
“We learnt valuable skills
that will stick with us
throughout our lives. This
experience built many strong
relationships within all the
troops we managed to visit.
“This was a tour that none of
the 11 scouts and two adults
that attended could possibly
ever forget.”

Letter to the editor
Iown and manage a
business in Milner Road,
North End, for many years
n ow.
My establishment is an
important part of the local
community in the area,
however, the lack of support
from the municipality in terms
of providing services is affecting
our success.
Dumping is a chronic
problem here on Milner Road
and I am fed up and frustrated
about the filthy surroundings in
which we have to conduct
business daily.
Patrons take one look at the
area surrounding our business
and feel it is safer to avoid doing
business with us.
BUSINESSES AFFECTED:
Litter-strewn Milner Road in

The image of the business is
losing face and all because the
municipality does not care
about us as ratepayers.
As ratepayers we are also not
provided with effective
platforms to express our
concerns. The numbers we have
to contact the municipality are
never in service and we never
have local ratepayers meetings
to hear back from our ward
c o u n c i l l o r.
The state of the area is part of
the degeneration of our town, a
cancer spreading throughout the
Eastern Cape and the rest of SA

I know too that this gripe has
been voiced by so many people
already but if we do not shame
the municipality continuously
they will persist in their poor

How to cope with matric exams stress
A DV E RTO R I A L
Many teenagers struggle to
cope with stress during their
exams, however, Masithethe
Counselling services is
available to provide support.
Masithethe is a local nonprofit
organisation that
provides counseling, trauma
debriefing, skills development
and support groups in the
m e t ro .
Masithethe director Jackie
Orsmond said that in recent
years they had noticed an
increase in depression, stress
and anxiety among teenagers,
and the exam season added to
this.
Orsmond said many
teenagers did not know how
to manage their time and
struggled to get everything
done in time for their exams.
This led to anxiety that
caused teens to procrastinate
because of the lack of
confidence they have in their
own abilities.
“Another issue we have
noticed is a lack of family
support as a lot of teenagers
are expected to manage it all
on their own, which in some
instances is not possible,”
Orsmond said.
“At home, some families
do not ease up on their
teenager’s responsibilities
during this time, such as
cooking, cleaning, chores,
childcare, and so on, and so
the increased pressure at
school combined with no or
little rest at home and little
time to study can lead to
teenagers becoming
overwhelmed.
“A lot of families also put
an extreme amount of
pressure on their teenagers to
achieve academically.
“A lot of pupils do not
perform well under this kind of
pressure and the subsequent
punishment that comes from
not reaching a parent’s
expectations can make the
teenager feel like a failure and
a disappointment.”
Orsmond said schools
should space out exam and
assessments periods, instead
of cramming them together.
She recommended schools
create support groups for
pupils experiencing anxiety
and also conduct awareness
campaigns on effective study
skills.
Pupils should also be
provided with information on
anxiety, depression and stress
so that they better understood
the complicated emotions
they may be experiencing.
“There is nothing wrong
with asking for help and there
is nothing wrong with you for
needing help.
“There are resources
available to you to help deal
with anxiety and depression,
and using those resources can
make a very big difference.
“Anxiety or depression can
also look different in d i ff e re n t
people.
“A lot of people often end
up getting misdiagnosed or
not diagnosed at all, and this is
why reaching out is important
as it can help you get what you
need to cope better,” she said.
Study tips for matrics:
● Plan: Set goals for yourself.
Decide what you want to
achieve and plan towards that.
Create a study timetable to
monitor your studying and
make sure you spend enough
time on each activity.
Make sure you take
adequate breaks in between
each session.
Keep your brain alert by
studying in short intervals and
taking breaks.
● Be prepared: Make sure you
have identified the sections of
your work that require the
most attention, and don’t
neglect the things you think
you know.
Go over your work, even if
you are feeling confident.

Stirling cast bring adventures in wonderland
FAITH MTWANA
Stirling Primary school pupils are
hard at work rehearsing for their
exciting production of Alice in
Wo n d e r l a n d that will be showcased at
the Guild Theatre later this month.
The enchanting story of Alice in
Wo n d e r l a n d , written by Lewis Carrol in
1865, was later adapted by American
playwrights Janet Yates Vogt and Mark
Fr i e d m a n .
It has since been retold many times,
and the Stirling cast are eager to put
their own spin on the classic story,
along with vibrant sets, costumes and
lighting.
The cast consists of 64 talented
young children between the ages of 11
and 13. They will be performing under
the guidance of seven Stirling drama,
music and artistic teachers.
The show’s director, Sandra Baxter
Marais, said the pupils were excited to
perform for East London audiences.
“East London audiences enjoy
being entertained by our talented
young actors, singers and dancers, as is
attested to by the overwhelming
support we have seen at recent
productions at the Guild Theatre,” said
M a ra i s .
“Our local young actors, singers
and dancers, besides having enormous
fun, are developing techniques and an
appreciation for the discipline and
value of the creative arts, to achieve
balance in their lives.”
Yolanda Birsch is responsible for the
set design, and with the help of Andre
Donaldson and his lighting expertise,
the Guild stage is set to dazzle
audiences.
Nimagugu Makhathini is the show’s
music director, and with the assistance
of Shannon Venter, will bring the

s h ow ’s various songs to life as the
audience follows the adventures of
Alice as she encounters the Cheshire
Cat, the Flamingo Croquet, the Queen
of Hearts and Tweedle Dum and
Tweedle Dee.
An added element of excitement is
that each performance will have a
different pupil starring in the role of
Alice.
The show will run for three days,
from Thursday to Friday October 27-28
at 6.30pm, and 2pm on Saturday
October 29.
Tickets are R80 per person and are
available at Computicket as well as at
the door at the Guild Theatre.
See you there.

Enjoy listening session
of singer’s new songs
SOULFUL SOUNDS: Singer and songwriter Sasa Mamzangwa Jobodwana
is hosting a listening session of her new songs, as well as her older fan
favourites on Saturday, October 29. Picture: SUPPLIED
FAITH MTWANA
Local musician Sasa Mamzangwa
Jobodwana is set to premier a
listening session of her latest
songs on October 29 at House 87 in
Q u i g n e y.
The talented singer, songwriter,
poet, as well as chef, has performed
alongside some of the biggest names in
the industry, namely Nathi Mankayi,
Berita, Zahara and Msaki.
“I have been singing for as long as
can remember, but my musical journey
only began in 2008.
“There used to be open session
events in Quigney where artists could
share their writing and various art forms
like poetry, dancing and singing,”
Jobodwana said.
The artist said her music was aimed
at inspiring people of all ages to
embrace their true selves.
“I want to be the light at the end of
the tunnel, when you hear my music
you want to celebrate your life.
“I stand for positivity, I encourage
you to know yourself and learn more
about your origins.
“Believe in yourself, be true to
yourself and become a force to be
reckoned with,” said Jobodwana.
She describes her music as soulful
and educational, with elements of
amapiano, hip-hop and even country.
Jobodwana was one of the Eastern
Cape poets chosen to include her work
in a book called Poetic Blues, wh i ch
was compiled at the height of the
Covid-19 pandemic.
The book is a collection of poems
by many poets from all over SA from
different backgrounds, cultures and
p r ov i n c e s .
After four years of working on her
songs, Jobodwana is set to host another
listening session of her music at House
87 in Quigney.
“The aim of this listening session is
to showcase my new music and also
perform the older songs that my
supporters love.
“This is the perfect opportunity for
me to get feedback and to share my
music and have my supporters tell me
what they think of the songs in the
moment.
“My aim is to create a space for
artists in the Eastern Cape to grow and
create music and build the music
industry in the province,” said the
talented musician.
Tickets for the session are R150 per
person, and include lunch.

listening session, Jobodwana’s career

On October 22, Down
Syndrome Association
Amathole (DSAA) hosted a
fundraising tea at the Osner
Hotel to generate income for
their outreach work.
Outreach work entails
training and support for families
caring for loved ones with
Down syndrome, among other
support measures. DSAA
confirmed that National Lottery
sponsorship had ended and
with impact of Covid-19,
fundraising efforts would just
barely allow the association to
continue its work.
The event generated around
R30,000 for the association and
the money will be dedicated
towards providing services such
as hospital visitation, workshops
and home-based care.
October is Down syndrome
awareness month and chair of
the association Linda Davis said
throughout the month DSAA
had been working to increase
public understanding about the
condition and combat
stereotypes.
Due to financial constraints,
DSAA only has one outreach
co-ordinator left despite their
observations that more babies
are being born at local hospitals
such as Cecelia Makiwane with
Down syndrome.
“We can’t say why exactly
more Down syndrome children
are being born because we
don’t know what causes it. Th i s
year we have already had 11
births. The children born with
the condition this year are
mainly from disadvantaged

teaching assistant and national ambassador for youth with
Down syndrome Tasha Oosthuizen.
areas because mothers are
unable to afford tests to
determine whether there are
complications prior to the birth.
“We are here to provide
them with support,” she said.
The DSAA outreach worker
is stationed at local hospitals to
catalogue the number of
children affected so these
numbers can be brought to the
attention of the departments of
health, education and social
d e ve l o p m e n t .
Davis hopes that in 2023,
DSAA will be able to strengthen
its relationships between the
departments so that support for
children with Down syndrome
can be given at schooling level.
“We are battling to get the
children into special schools
and mainstream schools. You
can wait months and years for a
school spot to open up for the
ch i l d r e n ,” she said.
Author, motivational speaker
and international ambassador
for people with Down
syndrome Sheri Brynard
provided the keynote address.
Brynard and her mother, Dr
Susette Brynard, are co-authors
of an autobiographical book
entitled, Sheri: Just the way I
am’ based on their experience
with Down syndrome.
The Brynards said over the
40 years of Sheri’s life they had
witnessed great changes in
attitudes towards Down
syndrome as these children
were more accepted and
supported by their families as
opposed to when Sheri was
born and they were encouraged
to institutionalise her.
“We have to focus on the
progress we have made and the
small steps we have made going
forward to undo stereotypes,”
said Dr Brynard.

Harry’s set to host local author’s
book launch and writing workshop
TAMMY FRAY
On October 29, Harry’s Printers will
host the launch of Andrew
H u t ch i n s o n ’s book Puff Adders in
the Panicum, as well as a development
workshop for local authors.
Hutchinson is also busy working on two
other works, set to be released in the
coming year.
At the launch, he will read excerpts from
his new book.
In addition to readings from other works,
the launch will unpack important topics
authors need to know including: how to
monetise written work, reaching a target
audience and developing a literary idea that
will sell.
Hutchinson said: “Anyone interested in
the written word and the sharing of
collective knowledge should attend this
book event.
“Puff Adders in the Panicum is my first
literary excursion but the wealth of
knowledge I have acquired through this
publishing effort is noteworthy and I intend
to impart some of this knowledge on the
d ay.
“Every author needs to understand there
is a global market for their ideas, stories and
life-influencing narratives.”
He said the internet and consumer habits
would be discussed at Saturday’s event.
Throughout the year, Harry’s Printers has
been contributing to the success of local
works and in 2023, Harry’s Group hopes to
DEVELOPING AUTHORS: The staff of Harry’s Printers at the launch and discussion

Simons’ held earlier this year. Picture: TAMMY FRAY
build on this by providing local authors with
courses that sharpen their editing skills and
computer proficiency with programs such as
Word and PDF, as well a guidance on
publishing and distribution options.
Harry’s Printers staff member Roy
Hewett said the informative workshops
were beneficial for aspiring authors.
“Some believe the financial reward for a
literary venture is immediate and others
believe their work does not need to be
edited and Harry’s hopes to counter these
notions so that the best literary productions
from the region are launched,” Hewett said.
Hutchinson believes there is an
untapped market in local stories that authors
need to tell. “The Eastern Cape is saturated
with stories and legends but who is penning
the rich tapestry of this province’s history
and social dynamic? We need to unleash a
writer’s pandemic of culture, story-telling
and non-fiction and historical notes with
regards to our home.
“There is a massive gap in published
guides that educate the rest of the world on
how to visit, do business and contribute in
terms of non-profit organisations within the
social aspect of rural communities
throughout the province,” Hutchinson said.
The discussion starts at 1pm on October
29. To RSVP, contact Hewett on 083-588-
3938.
DRIVING FORCES: Engen’s partnership with the Disability
Economic Empowerment Trust (DEET) has helped persons with

lessons, while a further 44 candidates have successfully obtained
their full driver’s licences. Lulama Ntandazo Sabani, top, from

New EL school to open for autism spectrum disorder children
TAMMY FRAY
Bellafides Private School in Beacon Bay
is opening its new school for those with
autism in January. Given the shortage of
special schools in the metro, Amazing
Autism is regarded as a great step
forward for children with autism.
Bellafides educator Clarissa Masola
said the right schooling environment
was important for a child’s success and
having children with autism enrolled at
mainstream schools was a challenge.
“It is difficult to manage a class of
20-plus learners and also those on the
s p e c t r u m ,” Masola said. “Due to large
numbers in the classroom, giving ASD
(autism spectrum disorder) learners the
space they need when they experience
a meltdown, sensory overload and so
forth is a mammoth task.
“Enforcing tolerance and
acceptance is also difficult. Most ASD
children are victims of bullying, and to
keep a watchful eye on them is difficult
in a mainstream environment. Teachers
there are already overwhelmed with all
they have to deal with.”
Within the Amazing Autism classes,
the school will follow a two-fold
approach to cater for children who are
at different functioning levels. Those
children who are low functioning / high
support require a slower, regularly
reinforced programme that focuses
more on teaching basics and skills.
These teachers will spend much of the
day repeating concepts and skills.
The second approach is for those
who are high functioning / low support,
but will not comfortably fit into the
Bellafides’ mainstream classes. They
will follow the curriculum at a slower,
more individually focused pace. So
these teachers are teaching similarly to
what would be a typical class, but at a
slower, more accommodating pace.
Masola cautions: “With ASD
learners, due to the onset of sensory
overload, which can be triggered by
virtually anything , teachers a l way s
have to be ready at any moment for
meltdowns. This can derail a planned
lesson. So to believe a day follows a
predictable pattern would be laughable
by any teacher with even just one ASD
learner in their class.
“One needs to be ready to change
and adapt at any given moment.”
Masola said more teachers needed
to be trained to understand both what
ASD was and how to work, develop
and assist ASD learners to reach their
full potential.
“These learners are more than
capable of achieving to their full
potential in the same way as any
neurotypical child can achieve to
theirs, if given the right opportunity and
taught in an environment that is
emphatic and compassionate and
p a t i e n t ,” she said.
Khanyisile School for the Blind
teacher Noluthando Manqunyana said
children with disabilities required more
support from the education system and
that integrating more technology into
schools could enable those with
disabilities to learn at the same pace as
their mainstream peers.
A DV E RTO R I A L
Breast cancer awareness with St Bernard’s Hospice
St Bernard’s Hospice has been
providing support for cancer patients
locally for close to 40 years.
October is Breast Cancer
Awareness Month, and Melissa Knox,
from St Bernard’s Hospice, said
ongoing campaigns were important
to improve public understanding
about breast cancer.
Significantly, St Bernard’s, in
collaboration with Cansa East London
and Cancer Care, has made inroads
into debunking myths surrounding
breast cancer.
“People tend to think it only
happens to women, when it is also
fairly common among men.
“People also tend to think one will
only get it as an older individual,
when many diagnosis are of young
adults,” Knox said.
“We have improved public
understanding in terms of increasing
awareness that men can also have
breast cancer, and that it is important
to have regular breast screenings, for
early detection.”
It is also important to screen
regularly, as early intervention can
save lives and ensure better recovery.
People living with breast cancer
need to make difficult decisions
regarding their treatment options,
which can include surgery,
chemotherapy and radiation.
With the various side-effects that
may result and decisions that need to
be made, it is helpful to have a team
of people to guide patients and their
families. This palliative care team
keep a patient’s quality of life and
other priorities top of mind. St
B e r n a rd ’s Hospice provides the local
community with this much-needed
support.
St Bernard’s staff, as a palliative
care team, work closely with patients,
their doctors and family, to help with
pain and symptoms, offer support,
and much more.
The Hospice focuses on learning
about what is important to the
patient so that survivors are able to
get back to their daily activities and
feel more like themselves.
Knox said often disputes arose
between breast cancer patients and
their families, as patients sometimes
chose treatment plans that their
families did not agree with. Ho w e v e r,
continued support for the patient was
paramount.
Knox said family members must
avoid projecting their own fears onto
their loved ones and must try to be
emotionally available and
understanding if the patient showed
“mood swings”.
She encouraged breast cancer
patients to be honest about their
experience, both physical and
emotional, and to look after their diet
during treatment.
St Bernard’s Hospice’s services are
provided by professional nurses and
carers who follow the home-based
care approach. As economic
conditions worsen, it becomes more
difficult for the Hospice to provide
the care it needs to in the community.
As such, support is vital and local
donors are encouraged to sign up as
Hospice Heroes by committing a
small monthly contribution to its
operations.

The picnic was held to provide women in
business with a day to network as well as to
learn about the importance of recycling and
the ways in which climate change uniquely
impacts women.
Chair and founder of Polyco Patricia Pillay
spoke about her journey in the waste
management space, what Polyco does and how

Glorious clivias
wow enthusiasts
TAMMY FRAY
Glenn Miles and Dave
Coulson scooped top
prizes at this year’s
Clivia show on October 22 at
the Beacon Bay Country Club.
The growers and breeders
were judged based on the
shape and fullness of the head
of flowers as well as the texture
and variegation of the leaves.
The judges considered the
overall form of the plant as
award-winning clivia’s have
unique colours to the flowers
and sturdy leaves which bear
yellow or white “streakings”.
Clivias are fairly easy to
breed and grow, provided they
are insulated against pests.
The clivia is vulnerable to
the amaryllis worm in
particular as it t burrows down
to the root and destroys the
whole plant.
As East London approaches
its humid, rainy season, risk of
invasion by the amaryllis worm
increases.
C l iv i a s, which tend to be
shade-loving, must be fed
regularly with a good fertiliser.
Coulson’s plants – bronze
green-throats – have been
growing for the last four to five
years to achieve their winning
form.
He advises interested
growers to purchase good
quality seeds or seedlings from
a trusted breeder.
“You don’t want to waste
your time with seedlings that
are not good quality because
c l iv i a s take a long time to grow.
“I started with common
oranges [clivia miniata] and all
I had after five years was a
whole lot of common clivias ,”
Coulson said.
Miles, a retired animal
geneticist, has been breeding
and growing clivias for a
number of years.
He said: “If you want to
start getting into clivia’s you
have to get in quickly because
it’s a very slow process.
“You must have a breeding
goal, start with the best seed
you can get and go for that

breeding goal. There is also
money to be had in clivia’s
because a few years ago, the
Emerald Sky clivia sold at
auction at the World Clivia
Conference for R22,000.
“There are breeders from
China and Japan who are
willing to pay local growers
these prices for our indigenous
plants because they are more
advanced over there in their
breeding techniques,” Miles
said.
GO CORRESPONDENT
While SA celebrates October as
Mental Health Awareness
Month, it’s become clear m a ny
South Africans, including the
government, are unaware of the
dire situation the mental
healthcare industry is in.
The statistics are frightening
and shed a very bleak light on
the crumbling infrastructure and
shortage of trained professionals
to support SA’s more than 60-
million citizens.
The Mail & Guardian reports
that the public sector only has
451 psychologists employed
across the country for those
South Africans without a
medical aid scheme, which is
73% of our population, a
whopping 43.8-million people.
The Eastern Cape also has a
vacancy rate of over 80% for
psychologists and a ratio of 1
psychiatrist to 3.3-million
people in the province.
Fortunately, not all is lost.
There are many organisations,
businesses and non-profits
across the country doing their
part to improve the mental
healthcare of this country, one
of them being Masithethe
Counselling Services.
This non-profit organisation

Jenna does
SA proud in
lifesaving
EL pupil wins silvers in world champs
TAMMY FRAY
Grade 11 pupil Jenna Tarr
represented SA at the 2022
Lifesaving World
Championships held in Riccione,
Italy, from September 18 to October
3.
Jenna, a pupil at Clarendon Girls
High School, was the only East
London athlete selected for the SA
side, and was among the youngest in
the group.
She has been involved with
lifesaving since she was seven years
old, and is a member of the East
London Surf Lifesaving Club.
In preparation for the
ch a m p i o n s h i p s , she trained
throughout the year with the
lifesaving club and was involved in
hockey and waterpolo at school, to
help improve her strength.
To qualify for the side, Jenna wa s
required to pass the examinations for
the junior and senior lifeguard awards
and complete beach duty hours.
At the DHL National Lifeguard
Championships in March this year,
Jenna achieved gold in the U17
beach sprint and flags categories.
Based on her achievement, she
was chosen to be part of the high
performance squad.
At the world championships, she
obtained two silver awards for beach
sprints and fifth place for flags.
She is most proud of achieving
fifth place for the flags heat, which
JENNA TARR
requires intense concentration and
split decision making under extreme
pressure.
Je n n a ’s coach and father, Gregg
Tarr, said: “Penny [Jenna’s mother]
and I are extremely proud of Jenna’s
achievements as her achievement has
been self-driven. She has always
taken ownership of her training.”
Jenna said she hoped to remain in
the SA side and to be selected for the
2025 world championships in
Au s t ra l i a .
“Never in my wildest dreams did I
ever expect to represent my country
one day,” said Jenna.
“I was very nervous before the
event, but we were well-prepared by
the team of South African coaches
and managers, so by the time I got
there I felt ready to compete.
“It was an amazing experience to
have been part of an opening
ceremony with 48 other countries
represented.
“The competition was tough so I
am very proud of my results.”

Young biathle/triathle stars at world champs
TAMMY FRAY
Twelve pupils from Buffalo City, selected
to compete at the 2022 UIPM Biathle/
Triathle World Championships in
Portugal, were honoured and given
sponsored goodie bags at a ceremony at
Selborne Primary recently.
The championships, being held from
October 25-30, require the athletes to
run-swim-run or run-swim-shoot in as
fast a time as they can.
The 12 pupils are among 91 other
South African athletes who are
competing at the championships.
Two of the pupils from Buffalo City,
Luke Tinhoff and Adam de Lange, will
compete in both the biathle and triathle
e ve n t s .
Biathle is an expensive sport and is
often not recognised by schools so
parents have to provide the funding.
To assist, the Buffalo City Biathle
Committee provided the young athletes
with goodie bags on October 19,
sponsored by The Daily Dispatch, Deep
Heat, Mita Pema Keshaw Optometrists
and S3 Elite Sports Products.
One of the sponsors, Mita Keshaw,
said: “The kit handover is always a
special occasion for athletes, parents
and coaches as it is a time to reflect on
all the hard work and dedication
throughout the season, while c e l e b ra t i n g
the athletes’ a ch i e ve m e n t s .”
Luke, a seasoned triathle and biathle
athlete, said: “I am very excited to attend
my fourth world champs. I feel
honoured to represent my country and
would like to thank my parents and my
coach, Sammy Saunders, for all the
support over the years.”
Local athlete Rodney Westgate, who
has represented SA at the world
ch a m p i o n s h i p s six times, winning at
three, said: “The chance to represent SA
is always a great honour and privilege,
even more so at a young age.
“When I was their age I’m not sure I
would have shown the same dedication
and extra hours while others are relaxing
at home or enjoying time with friends.
“This also shows the quality of
athletes we have in the Border area and
is a huge boost for the province as many
will place well on the world stage.
“It’s a great pity sponsorship is nonexistent
for the team. Monies are
reserved for a select group of sports and
athletes. These young talents need to be
nurtured, they are the future of our sport
and great ambassadors for our country.”
His sentiments were echoed by
parents who were dissatisfied with BCM
acting deputy mayor Princess Faku’s
decision to fund only one of the pupils.
The GO! & Express was unable to get
comment from the deputy mayor, but
BCM spokesperson Samkelo Ngwenya
said: “We need to keep an eye on the
human triumphant picture here and that
is that this family raised over R100,000
and were just short of R24k when they
approached us. They are the only ones
that approached the municipality.
“Our society is obsessed with finding
fault that even a 10-year-old is subjected
to scrutiny for taking initiative.”
Re-inspection held for EL Grand Prix Circuit
TAMMY FRAY
The East London Grand Prix
circuit was up for reinspection
on October 25
after it was declared unsafe
to host the Ford and Friends
festival scheduled for
October 1. The inspection
found that the track had
sufficiently made most of the
changes required and that
racing can re-commence
form November 12.
The inspection was
conducted by the national
safety officer for circuits in
SA, accompanied by clerk of
the course Eric Schultz and
six representatives from
Border Motorsport. The
committee walked around
the circuit and reviewed all
the changes made.
Ford and Friends was set
to provide both the track and
the local economy with a
much-needed financial
boost. Track manager
Andrew Karshagen said outof-town
racers brought six to
eight more people with them
in need of accommodation,
recreation and food,
allowing local businesses to
benefit from racing festivals.
The inspection was
s ch e d u l e d for October 18
but rain delayed this process.
The initial inspection
conducted by Motorsport SA
and Border Motor Sport
Club on September 22
revealed a number of
concerns relating to the tyre
wall specifications, drain
covers and inadequate
power supply, among others.
Karshagen said the tyre
wall did not adhere to FIH
FASTEST AROUND: The East London Grand Prix Circuit
hosted the SAES Endurance Festival earlier this year.
Picture: SUPPLIED
safety specifications as a
100m wall needed to be
erected. The ongoing theft of
the wires that bind the tyres,
and the tyres themselves, has
posed a challenge to
adhering with the MSA
specifications for the wall.
The track has been given
until December 31 to repack
the entire wa l l .
The drain covers,
deemed unsafe as they are
made from concrete, must
be recovered with steel.
Storm damage in Au g u s t
caused electrical cables to
hang low over the track and
resulted in damage to some
of the pits, which were
condemned as a result.
Earlier in September, the
transformer at the track was
stolen and the municipality
has not replaced it yet.
Broken sewerage
infrastructure on the roads
between Potters Pass and
Rifle Range has caused
sewerage leaks on the circuit
and this makes the outside
grass slippery, presenting a
danger to racers.
“Can you imagine a ra c e r
falling off his bike in the
sewerage and medics trying
to move him safely given
how slippery the ground
becomes. It presents health
risks to the racer,” Karshagen
said.
To combat this, French
drains have now been
erected at the track although
the sewerage remains
unattended as it flows all the
way from the race track
down the road to the West
Bank Golf course.
Karshagen said the only
way to ensure the security of
the track’s infrastructure was
to erect a fence round it. But
this will be difficult given its
status as a municipal road.
