THE Ford Struandale Engine Planthas transformed the lives of 10 fami-lies from the Vastrap informal settle-ment in Booysen Park, Port Eliza-beth, with the installation of ship-

ping containers converted into safe and securehousing units.

Five containers were completely renovated,converted and subdivided to provide houses for

10 destitute families, the sick and the elderly. Asixth unit was also prepared as a multi-purposefacility for community meetings, classroom forthe children and a skills development centre.

The containers were installed in December,and gave the new residents a formal dwelling inthe so-called ‘Blue Village’.

This represented a life-changing upgradefrom the dilapidated make-shift shacks they pre-viously called home.

Apart from the housing units, the team fromthe Struandale Engine Plant also installed two

mobile toilets, providing essential ablutions inan area that has to make do without basic servi-ces such as sanitation. A handful of communaltaps service the thousands of people living in theinformal settlement.

The new containers joined the five existingunits that were installed in 2014 as part of Ford’sannual Global Week of Caring. This gave thefirst 10 families a safe, comfortable and weather-proof environment that guaranteed dramatical-ly improved living conditions - particularly inthe cold and wet winter months.

“We have had an incredible response and sup-port from around the world for the Vastrap con-tainer housing project that we started in 2014,and are delighted to launch this second phasethat makes it possible to accommodate and im-prove the living conditions of 20 families in to-tal,” said Hyron Muniz, Production Manager atthe Ford Struandale Engine Plant and theproject leader.

“This project was only made possiblethrough the generous support and dedica-tion of our partners, starting off with theFord Motor Company Fund that providedthe funding for the conversion of the ship-ping containers.”Port Elizabeth-based non-profit organi-

sation, KICK, handled the extensive trans-formation of the containers, and co-ordi-nated the administrative side of the

project.“The Office of Human Settlements at the

Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality was in-tegral to the project from the outset, provid-ing the land for this housing project, andco-ordinating the selection process of therecipients in conjunction with local coun-cillors,” Muniz said.The Ford team also extended huge grati-

tude to freight company, Hamburg Süd,which donated shipping containers forboth phases of this project, along with BLG

Logistics and MOL South Africa that eachsupplied two containers for this new wing.Since its inception, Freight Solutions hashandled all the transport requirements ofthe containers at no cost.It’s not just the big ticket items that

count, though, and a Port Elizabeth chari-ty, the Al-Fidaa’ Foundation, assisted byusing material supplied by Ford to makecurtains for all 10 houses. The curtainswere cut, sewn and delivered within a re-markable 24-hour period.

“On behalf of the community and the Nel-sonMandela BayMunicipality, I would liketo thank Ford and all its partners for every-thing they are doing to assist those inneed,” said Erika Potberg, a social workerin the Office of Human Settlements, NelsonMandela Bay Municipality.“These housing units are a wonderful

and much-needed solution, particularly forthe disabled, elderly and vulnerable mem-bers of our community.”

THE Community Development Foundationof South Africa (CODEFSA) has called on theSouth African government to enact legisla-tion setting a minimum sentence of at least20 years for those found guilty of “crimescommitted in the name of traditional initia-tion”.

In a statement, CODEFSA, a non-profit or-ganisation working to curb the deaths of ini-tiates in the Eastern Cape, welcomed the con-viction and sentencing of six men last weekin connection with the death of LungileNqwaba, a young man who died at an initia-tion school in Ntsizwa, Mount Ayliff in 2014.“WhileCODEFSAwelcomes the court judg-

ment which will go a long way to serve as adeterrent for future perpetrators of killing ofinitiates, we believe that the sentencewas toolight for all those who were implicated in the

killing of Mr Nqwaba,” it said.“AS CODEFSAwe believe that a minimum

sentence of 20 years would have been a suita-ble sentence for these criminalswhokilled aninitiate.”Five of the men, including the principal

and owner of the initiation school at whichNqwaba died, were sentenced to five yearsimprisonment last week Monday. A sixthman will spend six years behind bars.CODEFSA said it was seeking legal advice

on whether it could appeal and have the sen-tence overturned.“We call upon the national government to

fast-track the passing of the legislation thatwill impose a minimum sentence of 20 yearsfor all people who are the perpetrators ofbotched traditional circumcision includingassaults and deaths of initiates.”Everyyear, dozens of boysdie frombotched

circumcisions and beatings, mostly at unreg-istered initiation schools in South Africa.

A TOTAL of 214 previously unem-ployed Nelson Mandela Bay peopleare expected to startworking in thewater leaks reporting programme.

In an effort to bolster service de-livery, about R16-million has beenset aside by the municipality topurchase trucks for aboutR13.5-million and to employ 214

people in 22 wards as ambassadors.“The ambassadors are employed

to be the eyes and ears of the mu-nicipality in different wards spe-cifically to report water leaks andother municipal problems,” mu-nicipal spokesman Kupido Baronsaid.He said the 16 maintenance

trucks, three pail trucks and oneSuper Sucker were to replenish theageing fleet as part of improving

service delivery.“The occurrence of water leaks

in our city is high. Our target is toget the percentage to 10% or be-low,” he said.The expansion of the Nooitge-

dacht scheme, the improvement ofthe Fishwater Flats freshwatertreatment works and the desalina-tion plant for industrial watermust also be speeded up.Millions of rands lost owing to

water leaks would be saved withthe employment of ambassadors,Baron said.The department would also ad-

dress the problem of potholes, theeradication of the bucket toilet sys-tem and the problem of illegal pow-er connections.Ambassadors will make door-to-

door home visits, spending at least10 minutes per household explain-ing the importance of water con-

servation, sanitation and hygiene.They will also hand out pamphletsand service booklets.Baron said ambassadors would

identify themselves before takingwater meter readings.Baron said financial constraints

were the reason this projects wasstarting with just 22 wards.The otherwardswould be accom-

modated when more money wasmade available.

RETIRED Warrant Officer ElizeNeedham has been described as adedicated official who spent manyyears in the police service withdignity.

It was a joyful occasion as policebade farewell to Needham (60) inDespatch on Wednesday lastweek. Colleagues dressed in tradi-tional outfits for the farewell func-tion for the beloved Needham,who was dedicated to her job forfour decades.“Warrant Officer Needham is

the longest-serving member inthe police in Despatch,” stationcommander Lieutenant-ColonelNolucebo Zaza said at the func-tion.Zazawas full of praise for the re-

tiring member who was known toher colleagues as “Mama Nee”.“You served the organisation

without fail, and your colleaguescould learn a thing or two fromyou as you are leaving us with agood reputation and excellent ser-vice,” Zaza said.“You inspired and became a

role model to your colleagues es-pecially in Despatch, where youspent 27 years and excelled”.Mama Nee’s colleagues de-

scribed her as a friendly andwarm-hearted person who wouldbe sorely missed.A teary Needham thanked ev-

eryone and said they had madeher cry, laugh and smile duringher time at the station.She also thanked her children

for their support during tryingtimes in her life, especially aftershe lost her husband, who was al-so a police official.Needham also recalled mo-

ments after she joined the railwaypolice in 1975 and joked abouthow her body had changed fromthat of a young woman to that ofa mature one - but she stressedthat she was not old.

SOME would regard a qualifica-tion in mechanical engineeringfroman esteemed institution likethe former Port Elizabeth Tech-nikon as their ticket to a success-ful career.

This sought-after qualificationwas, however, not what the doc-tor ordered for Mfundo McDo-nald Piti (37) of Kwazakhele.Piti owns a thriving restaurant

known as Nyamayipheli at the

corner of Mavuso and Njolistreets, near KwaNdokwenza.Piti, who employs five people

full-time as well as many parttime workers during big events,was identified as an entrepre-neur of note by the DA after win-ning the party’s entrepreneurcompetition recentlyGrowing up in Kwazakhele, as

the son of a taxi business owner,Piti saw abject poverty first-hand. He decided at an early ageto take education seriously.“I always believed in the adage

that education is the key to suc-cess,” said Piti, adding that hehad, however, admired his dadand other local business peoplewho made a difference in thecommunity through business.“I had this qualification, was

ready towork, but not happy. I al-ways wanted to do business andas a result after my qualificationat PE Technikon, I left for CapeTown and later Johannesburg topursue what I had always had apassion for - marketing, brand-ing and corporate events.”

Then Piti researched and dis-covered that Port Elizabethtownships had a lot to offer intourism - its people, historicalbackground, music, arts andcraft. “There was this special at-tire, dance, music and food thatis distinctly African and town-ship-based,” Piti said.He formed Nyamayipheli and

started inviting fellow townshipfolk and reminding them of theAfrican cuisine that they weremissing.Tourists are now starting to

make use of Nyamayipheli tours,which include learning abouttownship transport (taxis), visitsto squatter camps, shacks andhostels.The DA’s entrepreneur compe-

tition is aimed at reducing thehigh unemployment rate in Nel-son Mandela Bay. In workingwith the private sector, the DAplans to empower entrepreneursand create opportunities.DA mayoral candidate Athol

Trollip said Piti had won R10 000seed capital in the competitionand a chance to be mentored bybusinessman Andrew Jensen toexpand his ideas and grow hisbusiness.“I am very happy about win-

ning the competition. This willopen more doors for my busi-ness,” said Piti who provided themeals for DA leader Mmusi Mai-mane and his entourage duringtheir visit to the city recently.

ALTHOUGH Thabo Makhetha-Kwinana hasspent most of her life in South Africa, she hasnever forgotten her roots in Lesotho, herplace of birth.

The Nelson Mandela Bay clothing designercrafts contemporary fashion using tradition-al Basotho blankets – and one of her designs,titled “Starburst Coat”, is one of the 10 con-tenders in Design Indaba’s prestige MostBeautiful Object in South Africa (MBOISA)2016 exhibition.She and another MBOISA finalist – knit-

wear designer Laduma Ngxokolo, whoseworks are inspired by traditional Xhosa cul-ture – are both alumni of Nelson MandelaMetropolitan University (NMMU) in PortElizabeth.The travelling exhibition, which opened in

Johannesburg on January 11, moved to Dur-ban on January 26, and then Cape Town onFebruary 8. The overall winner will be deter-mined by public vote and announced at theDesign Indaba Festival in Cape Town on Feb-ruary 19.The 10 finalists were nominated by a select

panel of influential commentators on SouthAfrican culture, including museum curators,radio and TV commentators, designers andeditors.Makhetha-Kwinana (28) said her use of Bas-

otho blankets was a reminder of her heritage.“It’s an interpretation ofmyculture inmod-

ern days. These traditional blankets are dailyattire in Lesotho. When people move away tobig cities, they leave their traditional culturebehind. My work is a way of having the tradi-tional keep up with the times.”Her “Starburst Coat” consists of panels that

come together at the back, resulting in the

perceived “starburst”. It was one of severalitems she sent to Elle Magazine last year fora fashion shoot – and it was Elle editor EmilieGambade who nominated the piece.“It is uniquely African; combines heritage,

craft and beautiful proportions; it is timeless,colourful and says a lot about who we are andwhere we are from but at the same time it isexceptionally modern and very contempo-rary,” said Gambade.Makhetha-Kwinana, who graduated with a

national diploma in fashion design fromNMMU in 2008, is a living advertisement forher boutique store in Port Elizabeth, whichhouses her “Thabo Makhetha” range. “Myshop is a giant wardrobe.”Johannesburg-based Ngxokolo (29), a knit-

wear designer who completed his BTech intextile design in 2010, has won numerousawards here and abroad for his Maxhosa byLaduma fashion label.

His shawl was nominated for MBOISA 2016by designer and curator Tracy Lee Lynch,who said, “When I started looking for theMost Beautiful Object in South Africa … fora piece that I found really spoke tome, I foundthis particular piece – the shawl.”“I always design with an intention to make

my products relative and relevant to theSouth African market as much as possible,”saidNgxokolo, who is completing hismastersinMaterial Futures at London’sCentral SaintMartins.The pattern in the middle section of the 3m

by 1m shawl was inspired by the textures ofripe “umnqusho”, a traditional Xhosa dish.The end sections are inspired by traditionalXhosa decor embellishment styles and bead-work motifs.

SIPHAMANDLA Baleni’s powerful punch-ing will be too much for Lonwabo Roboshi,whom he fights in an international non-titlescrap over 10 rounds at the OR Tambo Hallin Mthatha tomorrow evening.

This is theviewofMthatha trainerMadoda“One-More-Time”Dyonashe, who looks afterthe business interests of World Boxing Asso-ciation (WBA) Pan African mini-flyweightchampion Baleni, who will be fightingagainst Nelson Mandela Bay’s “DancingShoes” Roboshi. The fight was brought to-gether courtesy of Andile Sidinile’s SijutaBoxing Promotions in conjunction with Li-ma Events and Promotions and FireworksPromotions in partnership with the SanParks and Tourism Agency.Dyonashe believesBaleni, better knownby

his moniker Toy Toyi, is in a league of hisown. He is ranked second mini-flyweight inthe country with a record of 10 fights, result-ing in eight wins, a single loss and a stale-mate.“Toy Toyi carries too much arsenal, which

he’ll use to easily dispatch (SA’s sixth-ranked) Roboshi. Roboshi was stopped by SAchampion Daluxolo Mangcotywa, whom webeat fair and square. What does that tellyou?” asked Dyonashe, who is the master-mind behind international champion Sim-phiwe Khonco.“Roboshi is in my stable now. He is no

longer the same. The boy is somotivated thathe won’t give Baleni space to breathe,” saidCaiphus Ntante of Caiph Camp, the stable ofchampions including WBF internationalmini-flyweight Siphosethu “The Gift” Ncis-ane which Uitenhage’s Roboshi recentlyjoined in Port Elizabeth.In 12 fights, Roboshi won 8, (5 KOs) and

lost four. Kana has brought the best support-ing bouts of six- and four-rounders.Over six rounds, Sinethemba Bam (Cape

Town) will lock horns with Phila Gola(Mdantsane) in the junior featherweight divi-sion,MorrisLento (DuncanVillage)will fightagainstMnikeloNdema in the bantamweightdivision, Zama Zokwa (Mthatha) versus Sim-phiwe Mayeza (Ilitha) in the junior feather-weight division, and over four rounds, AthiMahanjana vs Siyabonga Ngutyana (junior

middleweight), Siseko Nkohliso (Mdant-sane) vs Nkosikho Sibunzi (Ndevana), Phu-melela Sobahle (DV) vsAthenkosiMagqwira(DV) and Ricardo Heyneke (East London) vsBongo Mbiko (CapeTown) in the lightweightdivision.Admission is R50. The first bout is at 7pm.

NELSON Mandela Bay Absa PremiershipLeague outfit Chippa United is going toMbombela Stadium to face MpumalangaBlack Aces this Saturday with their tails uphigh.

“The spirit in the camp going to Mbombelais high. Players and coaching staff know thatwe are going to face a tough battle in Mpuma-langa, but we are hoping to come back withthree points,” said Chippa United Chief Oper-ations Officer Lukanyo Mzinzi.Coming from a 3-1 win against Ajax Cape

Town at Buffalo City Stadium in East London

at the weekend and the 2-0 trouncing of Gold-en Arrows away a week before, the ChilliBoys Zitshisa njengoPelepele (Hot like Pep-per) under interim coach Dan “Dance” Male-sela. said Mzinzi.Mzinzi said they are aware that title chas-

ers Aces, who are lying in third spot on thelog, are dangerous at home, with prolificstriker Collins Mbesuma leading the leaguegoal-scorers with 8 goals.He said, “We beat Aces 2-1 at home and are

hoping for positive results at Mbombela. Ev-erybody in the camp knows we are goingthere for three points.”The team from eMalahleni won five games

on the trot before they were humbled with a

1-0 defeat by the University of Pretoria.A goal by AmaTuks’s Atusaye Nyondo ex-

posed Ace’s defence to show that they couldstill takea suckerpunch.And, this is exactlywhat Mzinzi thinks coach Malesela’s trio ofAristide Bance, Lerato Shabangu and EricChipeta, with three goals each, will do onSaturday.With David Zulu back from his short stint

withKaizer Chiefs, and showing his scoringprowess againstAjaxCapeTown,ChairmanSivuyile “Chippa” Mpengesi’s men – whoare comfortably lying at number six in thelog standing going into the match – couldswing a surprise or two and bring the valua-ble three points home.
