77 ‘Indaba’ now weeklyGOOD news for the residents of thetownships in the Metro is the expan-sion of the Port Elizabeth Express In-daba newspaper from a monthlypublication to a weekly newspaper.

The Indaba was first launched inJuly 2008 as a monthly newspaper. Itwas a brand extension to Port Eliza-beth Express serving a market wherethere had been no other freesheet atthe time.

“The Indaba has proved so popu-lar amongst readers and advertisersalike that we have decided to re-launch it as a weekly paper,” said ed-itor, Bettie Giliomee.

Indaba will now be published on aWednesday.

The distribution has also been in-creased and a total of 55 000 copieswill be printed.

The newspaper will be distributedto homes in KwaNobuhle, Khaya-listha, Motherwell, Bethelsdorp,Kwadwesi, KwaZakhele, New Bright-on, Soweto On Sea, Veeplaas, ZwideandGqebera. Commuters will be ableto get the Indaba at selected taxiranks in these areas.

“As is the case with the PE Ex-press’ three zoned editions - Metro,Southern Suburbs and NorthernSuburbs – the Indaba will focus on

news and people that matter in thecommunity in which the paper is dis-tributed,” said Giliomee.

“Not only will municipal andcrime news be covered, but the Inda-ba will give people and organisa-tions, who make a difference in thecommunity, a platform.

“Regular columns will also focuson topics ranging from health towealth.”

Apart from the news value forreaders, the Indaba is also the idealvehicle for advertisers to reach theirtarget market in their surroundingcommunity.

According to Tasmia Ismail, PE

Express Indaba Advertising Manag-er, “After the launch of Indaba ad-vertisers grabbed the opportunity tooffer their products and services tothis very rapidly emerging market.

“Most local advertisers who iden-tified this as their target marketswaste no time in securing their ad-vertising space well in advance.Even national advertisers such asCashbuild and Metro Cash & Carryhave finally found the perfect vehiclefor their audiences,” said Ismail.

Port Elizabeth Express Indaba ispublished by Media24 Newspapers,printed by Paarl Coldset and distri-buted by On The Dot Distribution.

wage rates.Joy and relief as water restrictions liftedCLARISSA VENTER

THE announcement that Nelson MandelaBay’s water restrictions and punitive tariffswere to be eased, was met with great jubilationamongst businesses and residents.

The news followed last week after a droughtthat left everyone in the metro in a frenziedpanic state.

However, the executive mayor of the NelsonMandela Bay Municipality, Zanoxolo Wayile,has lifted the water restrictions imposed on ac-count holders since water supply decreasedbelow 60 % two years ago.

At a certain stage in 2010 levels in the city

threatened to drop below 30 % because con-sumption remained high in the midst of thedrought.

Furthermore, Wayile said while the watertariffs will be lifted on August 1 the decreasedwater usage restrictions will be put into effectMonday, July 25.

A notice last week from the Department ofWater Affairs advising the municipality thatrestrictions on its intake from the major sup-ply dams had been revised, saw to it that therestrictions, are for now a thing of the past.

Although the restrictions have been lifted,the municipality is still urging residents tocontinue to use water sparingly given a pro-jected “dry season”.

Provincial Water Affairs acting chief direc-tor Ashley Starkey, confirmed earlier that thelifting of the restrictions was recently pub-lished in the weekly government Gazette afterthe Minister of Water and Environmental Af-fairs, Edna Molewa, signed it.

Hereafter, the metro could only announcethe tariff ease after the Gazette was published.

Moreover, the municipality advised thatcertain activities remain prohibited and isstill encouraging the usage of recycled waterat car washes.

Meanwhile, the municipality has main-tained a 98 % water quality compliance whichmeans it complies fully with SANS 241 (Drink-ing Water Quality Standards).

Ben­Mazwi opensRe/Max branch in

MotherwellRE/MAX ABM, which operates inthe New Brighton and surround-ing areas of Port Elizabeth, hasachieved record sales and openeda new office in Motherwell duringthe past month.

RE/MAX ABM increased its salesfrom between 10 and 20 per month to31 sales recorded for May and a fur-ther 26 for June.

Well-known local businessmanand broker/owner of RE/MAX ABM,Andile Ben-Mazwi, attributes thisgrowth to an increased marketingbudget and more aggressive market-ing of the brand and its stock.

Adrian Goslett, CEO of RE/MAXof Southern Africa, says that thesefigures prove that there is demandfor property and that the market isshowing strong signs of recovery,particularly in the lower and middleprice ranges.

Ben-Mazwi explains that the newMotherwell office, which began trad-

ing on 1 July, was established due tothe fact that they sellmorepropertiesin this area than any other area oftheir operation.

“People in this area prefer person-al consultation when doing businessand therefore bringing our businesscloser to them will enable us to in-crease our market share.”

Ben-Mazwi says that his officebrings 23 years worth of knowledgeand expertise in property to the area,which has been passed on to the RE/MAX ABM sales associates throughtraining, to render an unsurpassedservice to meet the client’s needs.

Goslett adds that in the currenteconomic climate, well-trained,knowledgeable and compliant agentsmake all the difference when itcomes to concluding property trans-actions.

Ben-Mazwi explains that in orderto service the Motherwell area, hisoffice has taken on a further sixagents and on 9 July the office hosted

a road show in the area to introducethe new agents to the communitywith fliers. “We also talked to thecommunity about our initiative withthe objective of making it easy forthem to transact at their door steps.”

Ben-Mazwi also notes that Mother-well is the most vibrant area in theirtarget markets and says that RE/MAX ABM has more listings in thisarea than anywhere else.

Free-standing homes, he says, arethe most popular choice, with pricesranging from R70 000 to R550 000.“Most of the properties on the mar-ket sell for an average price ofR200 000 and the buyers are mostlyyoung couples.”

Looking forward, Ben-Mazwi pre-dicts steady growth for property inthese markets. “The sales in the areaare being matched by the number oflistings which we conclude at almostthe same rate we conclude sales. Thisassures us of sustainable growth inthe area,” he concludes.

THE Department of Arts and Culture(DAC) spearheaded a month-longprogramme to celebrate MandelaDay by giving out books to encouragethe culture of reading in the country.Since the United Nations declaredJuly 18 as the International MandelaDay last year, South Africans andmembers of the international com-munity have been urged to use at

least 67 minutes of their time to helpothers in need - whereever they are.The theme of this year’s MandelaDay was “Working Together to builda caring society.”“Mandela dedicated 67 years of hislife to political activism and MandelaDay is a celebration of Mandela’s lifeand a global call for people every-where to take responsibility for mak-ing the world a better place,” saidDAC Communications Head, LisaCombrinck ,recently.

Combrink said her department wasinvolved in a series of events to cele-brate Mandela’ legacy.They started early this month in Gra-hamstown in the Makana Local Mu-nicipality where they handed outthousands of books - about 67 titlesto seven under-resourced libaries -with the help of companies in thepublishing sector to promote literacyand encourage the culture of read-ing.This was because Mandela, who is

the author of two of the titles theyhanded out - Long Walk to Freedom(1994) and Conversations with My-self (2010), is very passionate aboutreading.Mandela was once quoted as saying“Education is the great engine of per-sonal development. It is through edu-cation that the daughter of a peasantcan become a doctor, that the son ofa mine-worker can become the headof the mine, that a child of farmworkers can become the president of

a great nation.”DAC Books and Publishing headSiphiwo Mahala said it was hightime that South Africans shouldmake everyday a Mandela Day.People should look around them toseewhat it is that they cando tomakethe difference in the life of the otherperson.“We (DAC) also took time to paint,clean and beautify the homes of eld-erly people in the areas we visited na-tionally,” said Mahala.

Dynamos, in fact, showed no re-spect to Zafa’s once-famous teamright from the first whistle.

Dynamos midfielder Phumlani“Bump-dance” Mnabisa scored thefirst goal at the half-way mark of thefirst stanza.

Although Santos’ maestro Xolisa

“Shoes” Pohlwana was tightlymarked, he did not give up the fight.Phakamisa Batyi too threw every-thing he had but it was not to be asDynamos’ defence was tenacious.

Early in the second stanza of thegame Santos were awarded a penaltykick which goal-keeper LwandisoGubayo missed due to brilliant field-ing by his counterpart VuyaniMdayi.

Dynamos lanky striker Dinile-sizwe Mdabe put the nail into Santos’coffin in the dying moments of thegame when he scored a brilliant goal.Dynamos’ Zwelethu Gcakasi deservea special mention for a brilliant per-formance throughout the game.

Spar NMMU netballerscrack national nod

IN an unprecedented move, halfof the Nelson Mandela Metropoli-tan University’s netball teamhave been named in the South Af-rican student squad.

The six Spar-NMMU playerswere selected on the basis of theirindividual performances at theUniversity Sport South Africa(USSA) tournament, which tookplace at North-West University’sPotchefstroom campus earlierthis month. The team placedfourth overall.

“It’s obviously a very big hon-our and a first for the university,”said NMMU sports manager,Theresa le Roux. According toher, they caught the eye of the se-lectors with strong performancesthroughout the week.

Captain and wing defence, Ja-nine Daniell; goal keeper, NontleGwavu; centre, Mampho Tsotetsiand goal shooter, DumisaneChauke, all former members ofthe national squad, once againcracked the nod. They are joinedby new inclusions Zanele Vimbe-la and Elzaan Lotter in goal de-fence and goal attack respective-ly.

“We’re very pleased to see ris-ing stars like Zanele and Elzaanbeing recognised for their talentand dedication,” said Le Roux.

Members of the 30-strong na-tional squad will vie for a place inthe 12-person team to compete atthe World University NetballChampionships, which take placein Cape Town in July next year.

“It will give the girls great in-ternational exposure and the op-portunity to see some of theworld’s best student netball play-ers in action, many of whom rep-resented their countries at theelite World Cup in Singapore re-cently,” said Le Roux.

“Unfortunately, Nontle andMampho will not be eligible asthey turn 27 before the worldchamps.”

However, said Le Roux, theywould still be in contention for aspot at the Federation of AfricanUniversity Sports (FASU) Gamesin Botswana next April. She at-tributed the club’s success to hardwork under the guidance offormer national player and headcoach Lana Krige.

“Lana and Maryka (Allaway)put in many long hours coachingthe girls. They were certainly thefittest team we’ve ever taken tothe tournament.”

Five of the six players are alsomembers of the Eastern Provinceteam, the Ibhayi Gales, whichcompetes in the national NetballGrandSeries,whileGwavurepre-sents her home province of Gau-teng.

They will all play a critical rolewhen the Spar-NMMU teammounts its title defence in the EPA League at the Young Parkcourts in Port Elizabeth startinglater this month.

The team will be aiming to con-tinue its dominance with a sev-enth consecutive series win.
