WHENaPortEliz-abeth womanNomonde Ntonigave birth to ababy boyAnokholoat the

Dora Nginza Hospital on August29, little did she know about thetimeof sorrowand fear thatwas tofollow – sorrow that she has nowaccepted and submitted into God’shands.

The unemployed mother of 6-yearold twins Nomonde (32) has namedherbabyboy,whowasbornwithwitha misformed head, Anokholo - whichaptly means “They have faith”.

“It is a birth defect as the baby wasborn with an elongated head. Its amisconception that the baby’s brainis outside the skull,” said Dora Ngin-za Hospital Principal Social WorkerPamela Rubushe.

At thebirthof 3-montholdAnokho-lo, who is now growing like any nor-mal child, Nomonde of Red Locationin New Brighton, was initially sur-prised, scared and fearful of what herhusband Nkosinathi Ntoni and fami-ly would say about the child.

According to Rubushe, after re-ceiving counselling and support fromthe health providers, the child wasdischarged and Nomonde was ad-vised to takehimhome.Rubushe saidthat doctors are concerned thatshould they operate, the child coulddie. There isn’t a long life expectancyfor kids born with this deformity.

“We realised that Nomonde,though married and with a support-ive husband, will not cope easily sowe provided support for her from theNew Brighton Clinic nurses,” saidRubushe, who explained that the hos-pital could otherwise not keep thechild becausehewasnot sick andwasnot taking any medication.

But members of the community donot understand Nomonde’s child andhis deformed head. They allegedly ac-cuse her of a number of things like be-ing punished for drinking too muchalcohol, having sinned or plainly be-ing cursed.

Owing to the stress causedby these

accusations by neighbours Nomondehas suffered a light stroke which lefther mouth and other facial partstwisted.

“I have learnt to understand thatthis is my child and to allow God totake charge. I am used to this childand will accept whatever it is that

Godwants for this child. Iwishpeoplecan let me live in peace with mychild,” said a sobbing Nomonde.

Nomonde, however, does not un-derstand why the hospital releasedthe baby if she has to suffer thatmuch. The hospital on the otherhand, believes she has enough sup-

port to carry on with life and wouldeven qualify for a social grant if sheapplied.

“The St. Francis Hospice is alsogiving Nomonde support. And wehaveadvisedher to come to thehospi-tal if and when there is a need,” saidRubushe.

Little Anokholo Ntoni is growing up nicely likeany other normal child. But his deformed headcontinues to grow. Photo: THEO JEPTHA

MOTHERWELL police station hasopened its doors for stokvel and so-ciety members to come and sharetheir finances in their offices.

Constables Khayeni Malila andLuntuBoltinaarewaitingat theMoth-erwell Police Station to assist peoplewho need protection with their cashduring this festive season.“This is a plan against criminals

whopreyon unsuspectingstokvelandsociety members by robbing them of

their hard-earned cash,” said Mother-well Community Police Forum (CPF)Chairperson Nomawethu Jama.Speaking to PE Express Indaba last

week, Jama said criminals are on thelook-out for people they know to be in-volved inmoney-making activities es-peciallynowthat it is thetimeforshar-

ing large sums of cash.Although the campaign is specifi-

cally for Motherwell residents, anymember of the community iswelcometo make use of it and Jama believesthat other police stations in the metrowould also have contingency plans todeal with criminals wanting to rob

people and small entrepreneurs oftheir cash.“Thereare, for instance, peoplewho

work in the construction industrywho still do not have bank accounts.They take their bonus pay in cash andtherefore are at risk of falling into thehands of criminals,” said Jama.

PORT Elizabeth police in KwaZa-khele arrested a 34-year old manfor false pretence and theft on Sat-urday.This is after the man, a motor

mechanic from Zwide Township,allegedly conned a 55-year oldwoman from KwaZakhele out ofR4 000 in cash.According to police spokesper-

son Warrant Officer Thembi Gwe,the woman took her vehicle to theman’s residence in Dlova Streetfor mechanical repairs. The wom-an allegedly paid R2 000 deposit.“When the woman came to pay

another R2 000 she asked to see thecar and was told it was taken some-where for repairs and parts,” saidW/O Gwe.

The complainant insisted on see-ing the car and was given an ad-dress in town. The address did notexist and as the woman becamesuspicious, the accused hadswitched off his cell-phone. Therewas no contact between the two.“The woman then went to the ac-

cused’s address and begged him totell her what happened to her car.At this stage, the accused told thewoman that he gave her car tosomeone in Motherwell and thathe owed that person the sum ofR7 000.“She pretended to sympathise

with him and asked him to take herto where the car was so that theycould negotiate with the person;and that she was willing to assisthim with the payment,” said Gwe.But when they arrived at the

place, the woman was surprised to

discover that nothing was done torepair the car. It was as is. Shethen went to the police to report acase of theft. The woman’s vehiclewas recovered and the suspect wasarrested and is expected to appearin New Brighton Magistrate’sCourt soon.W/OGwe has commended the

woman for not keeping quiet aboutthis case which she said is one ex-ample of abuse against women -whilst the country is commemo-rating 16 Days of Activism AgainstThe Abuse Of Women and Chil-dren.“People always think that abuse

is only physical. They take thingslike these for granted and do notreport them. We want to thank thewoman for standing up. It is onlywhen these cases are reported thatwe as police can act,” said Gwe.

er for the same training.The mayor said this job creation

drive and skills training emanatedfrom the five priorities of the ANC-led government.

beneficiaries with skills required inthe job market with the purpose ofbettering future employment pros-pects and also bring services to thepublic through community-basedprogrammes, he said.

This would reduce unemploymentand poverty amongst the most vul-nerable communities and promoteskills development.

ANUMBER of big retail brands, including a na-tional bank, have signalled their confidence inthe rejuvenated Port Elizabeth central businessdistrict by moving into Pier 14 Shopping Centreon Govan Mbeki Avenue in time for the festiveseason.

The most recent addition, the North Endbranch of StandardBank, is relocating to Pier 14andwill open forbusinessonDecember1. It joinsnew fast food franchise outlets Debonairs Pizzaand Cassie’s, which started trading last month.

According to Martin Wragge, CEO of GRIT-prop Investments, which owns Pier 14 ShoppingCentre, the influx of national tenantswas in partduetoa five-year,R40-millionexpansionprocess.

“Theupgradehas increased footfall and turno-verandwenowhavemorethaneightmillionfeetpassing through our doors annually.”

Wragge said management was anticipatingbumper peak season trading, with retail turno-vers expected to topR270million for the financialyear. “We are thrilled that our efforts to increasetrading volumes are finally paying off.”

Hesaidtotalaveragetradingdensitieswereupby 18.1% and that the trendwas expected to con-tinueasmanagementnot onlyattractednew ten-ants but also “right-sized” the existing tenantbase.“Toomanyofourtenantshavebeentradingin oversized spaces due to historically cheaprentals.”

Over the past sixmonths, Pier 14 has been en-gaged in a process of reducing the floor space ofexisting tenants by between 20% and 50%, saidWragge. “The result is better densities, more af-fordable rentals and greater profitability for the

tenants and centre alike.”He said the downsizing process had also

openedupnewtradingspaces for retailerson theground and first floors, which had been fully oc-cupied for some time.

Wragge said this had helped to diversify Pier14’s tenant mix, which comprised mainly fash-ion, footwear, music, furniture and appliances,as well as health and beauty stores.

“WiththerecentadditionofCassie’sandDebo-nairs, we nowhave a goodmix of food retailers.”

Debonairs Pizza co-owner, Taki Pitsiladi, saidhe and his partners, brother Peter and Hugo Fou-rie, hadalwaysbelieved that thereweregoodbusi-ness opportunities to be had in the centre.

“There is much trade and movement on theground floor and we’re in a good position rightnext to (anchor tenant) Shoprite.”

Earlier this year, Pier 14 fitted a Chingo’schickenoutlet, anOldFashionedFishandChips,as well as the Linga Longa restaurant to join ex-isting traders Hungry Lion, Pie City and KingPie.

Wragge said Standard Bank’s presence wouldstrengthen the centre’s financial services offer-ing, which included Nedbank, Old Mutual Fi-nance, Surebank, Bayport Financial Servicesand Bridge Loans.

“We’re currently in negotiations with a fewmorenational tenants,whichwe obviously can’tname yet.”

Pier 14 features seven floors of office and retailspace, covering a gross lettable area of 30 273m2,including the revamped 25 000m² retail compo-nent.

into freedom and democracy in thiscountry, by and large, women werestill not free.“Women still fall victim to do-

mestic violence, sexual, emotional,psychological, economical andphysical abuse despite the legisla-tion in this country to protect theabuse of women and children,” saidSAPS Communications OfficerCaptain Sandra Janse van Rens-burg.She mentioned the Domestic Vio-

lence Act, Sexual Offences Act andChild Protection Act as some of thelaws implemented by governmentto ensure that women and chil-dren’s rights are respected.“Family members, especially

husbands, boyfriends and menknown to the victims, were usuallythe abusers,” said Captain Jansevan Rensburg.Lieutenant Rene Williams ex-

plained the role of SAPS women inthe struggle against women andchild abuse and urged members ofthe community and civil society toacknowledge, support and workwith them.She commended Gelvandale’s

volunteers - a group of torch-bear-ers and phenomenalwomen -whosecontribution is visible for all to see.“We cannot keep quiet. Members

of the community must turnaround on behalf of this beautifulcity Port Elizabeth. Business,churches and the entire communi-tymustwork together,” saidGener-al Dawie Rabie.

Last time we mentioned the signs and symptoms of Diabetes as follows: Excessive thirst; Excessive and frequent urination, Tiredness and exhaustion; Dizziness; Unexplained loss of weight; Palpitations; Excessive itchyness of the skin

This week: Who is likely to have Diabetes and how to prevent and manage it?

If you have poor eating habits / overweight; Family History, that means you can inherit Diabetes from other family members in your blood line; Drink more than 2 measures of alcohol daily; High stress levels at work or at home; You do not exercise much(at least for 30 minutes three times a week); A man aged between 35 and 55; A woman 45 years and older

Each kilogram you shed and keep off is of benefit. Also be aware of eating fresh fruit & vegetables and whole grains, and limiting intake of fat and sugar. Excess alcohol and caffeine should also be avoided. Specific guidelines are available fromour (make a booking from your nearest clinic)

Try to set a manageable exercise programme which includes brisk exercise for 30 minutes a day at least 3 times a week. Consider joining a gym or a walk / run for life type organisation/club which has controlled programmes aimed at your currentfitness levels.

Your doctor may also have prescribed medication to regulate your blood glucose levels. It is important to work with your doctor and make sure you take your medication at the prescribed dosage and intervals. Most modern medications needonly be taken once a day. Take your medicine at the same time each day. At the start you may feel some new effect. You should not stop the medicine or adjust the dosage, but rather speak to your doctor. There are many treatments available and if one doesnot suit you other options may be tried.

Always keep your feet clean; Dry feet well especially in between your toes; Check under your feet regularly and report any abnormalities to the clinic; Never cut corns or use sharp objects on your feet; Get help from theclinic or doctor.

It is never too late stop smoking, for a benefit to your heart and other organs. There are programmes which can assist you once you have made the decision to quit smoking.: Keep in mind the benefit of each thing you do to address the condition; Meet with your doctor or caregiver regularly; Become part of the support group; Make sure you take your medication as

prescribed, and remember there are alternatives if you are not comfortable with the one that has been prescribed for youThe Department of Health, Nelson Mandela Bay Health District wishes you a happy Christmas and a prosperous 2013

THE establishment of a sports-field at Kama Primary School inNew Brighton is an investment inthe youth of the township.

The sportsfield was made possibleby sponsorship from Vula Energy,Canon and businessman MarkHeadbush.

“I am so happy. It’s a dream cometrue,” said school principal NobantuOliphant.

The school, which is one of the his-torical institutions of learning inPort Elizabeth, cut the ribbon earli-er this month to declare the fields of-ficially open.

The sponsors donated a total ofR250 000 to build the field and buy

soccer and rugby kits to benefit thesports enthusiastic pupils of theschool.

Oliphant said, most of the 775 pu-pils enrolled at the school come fromvery poor backgrounds. She said ithas always been her wish that theyget a playing field so that they canuse their sporting talents which,coupled with education, could helpthem achieve greatness in life.

“The kids are our future. We havealways wanted to be involved withtheir development. Having seenwhat Ms Oliphant has done to helpthe school get to where it is rightnow; we decided to be involved totake the school to even greaterheights,” said Canon Sales DirectorDalen Davidson.

It is Ms Oliphant’s passion for ed-ucation and her abundant love for

the kids that inspired Vula EnergyMD, Louis Greeff to start helping Ka-ma Primary School two years ago.

“I am happy that my company ispart of this and we have committedto look after the field every month,”said Greeff.

“This is going to help us producegreat soccer and rugby players whowill represent this country at inter-national level. Without the grounds,that would have been impossible,”said Headbush, a former pupil at theschool.

Keynote speaker Pastor SiphiwoKiti urged members of the schoolfraternity and especially the com-munity to take good care of thefields.

“The field is ready for your taking;but it must be well managed,” saidPast. Kiti to a thunderous applause.

for a seventh consecutive year with severalplayers and management representing SouthAfrica at international level.According to SPARpromotions and advertis-

ing manager Wendy Westraadt, they enjoyed amutually beneficial relationship with the cluband were very proud of its achievements.“The players and staff have worked very

hard and thoroughly deserveit.”NMMU sports manager

Theresa le Roux said theaward was made on a pointssystem based on club results,player achievements and in-volvement in community out-reach programmes.“The trophy is highly-

prized because it takes into ac-count all the efforts that a clubhas put in during the year.”Le Roux said they were par-

ticularly proud of wing de-fender Zanele Mdodana, whocaptained the Proteas to a goldmedal in the Diamond LeagueSeries in August.She was joined in the na-

tional squad by team-matesMampho Tsotetsi and NontleGwavu.In July, goalkeeper Zanele

FANS were sent into raptureswhen Crystal Palace took on Roy-al Buccaneers during their SAFANelson Mandela Bay SAB Region-al League 2-2 drawn game playedatMotherwell NU 9 Stadiumon 17November.

Palace were firing on all cylinders,but the Sea Robbers side proved thatthey were having depth.

Lithemba Manjezi’s tame shotbeat Bucs goalkeeper after the ballbounced on the uneven area of the

goalkeeper’s area to put Palace 1-0 upin front in the 27th minute. Bucsthrew everything into the game butthe first half remained 1-0 in favourof Palace.

In the 61th minute of the secondhalf Bucs’ diminutive striker Akhu-lile Eto’o Dlilanga scored an equaliz-ing goal. It appeared as if Palace weregoing to emerge as winners followinga well-taken header by Xolisile ZongoKona in the 78th minute registeringa 2-1 lead. The joy of Palace fans washowever short-lived with Thamsan-qa’Sweswe’ Gwabeni scoring Bucs’equalizing goal to make it a finalscore of 2-2.
