I phoned her and her cell phone rang unan- swered. Then I phoned Ncincikazi and she told me Khulukazi had accompanied her home but had not returned home,” said Zukiwe. “We were also concerned that her phone rang unanswered. This was not usual,” she said. They started to search for her and while look- ing in the vicinity of the bridge they heard the voice of a woman in excruciating pain. “It was Khulukazi,” said Zukiwe sobbing.

AFTERyearsof livingwithscars fromthe trag-ic burns they suffered to their scalp and face,two young girls were given a day of pamperingwith a full day spa andhair treatment at a localsalon.

Bonile Temile (7), and eight-year-oldThandiswaPhillipwere ecstatic to finallyhavetheir hair extensions courtesy of Smile Foun-dation after months of reconstructive surgery.

The two girls have been living with burnsfrom their scalp and face for over three years,with little hope of ever getting their dreams ofhaving hair extensions.

Phillips’s mother, Joyce, said her daughterhad been living a sad life after her accidentwhich left her with both her face and hairburnt. “She has been dreaming of having hairever since her accident in 2010. My child hasbeen living in the shadows and it was painfulto watch her go through this ordeal. This daywill give her the confidence she needs,” shesaid.

Living in Addo, Phillip was so extensivelyburned when a pot of burning oil fell on herhead that shewas left bald.After several recon-structiveoperationsshehadsomehair, butherdreamwas tohave longbraids.She toldProvin-cial Hospital’s plastic surgeon, Dr Chris vander Walt, of this dream and through the SmileFoundation, he has made it a reality.

An emotional Temile, who was left with aportion of hair after a petrol light was thrownin her face,said she was overjoyed and thank-

ful to van der Walt for making her dreamscome true.

“I want to show my friends my new hair. Iam so happy,” said Temile.

Temile’s aunt, Nozuko,said,“She has beenthrough a lot of grief and anguish since thishorrific ordeal. This child would come backfromschool cryingbecause thekidsweremak-ing fun of how she looked. She really is a won-derful child and she deserves this make-over.I want to thank this organisation for makingher smile and feel beautiful again.”

During Smile Foundation’s 13 years of exist-ence, Vodacom has donated over R14 millionand supported over 500 children through theSmile Week’s model. This last week 30 chil-dren received facial reconstructive surgery.

Operations Executive Director of SmileFoundation, Moira Gerszt, said,“Smile Foun-dation continues to offer children support inany way that may be identified, by the sur-geon, by the sister in charge, byapsychologist,or if the need is requested by the family or thechild. If it is appropriatewewill strive tomakea difference in the child’s life and offer achance to develop a more positive self-imageand confidence. This Smile Week is no differ-ent, where together with Vodacom,we look tooffer the patients in the Eastern Cape a chanceto smile.”

Van Der Walt said through Smile Founda-tion both kids would be able to receive morereconstructive surgery.

After their salon day, the two girls weretreated to a party hosted at the Provincial hos-pital.

VODACOM donated R1,5 million as part of aSmile Week project to help 30 Port Elizabethchildren with facial anomalies get opera-tions.

The 2013 Smile Week Project was held atthe PE Provincial Hospital last week where

the donors met the recipients and theirproud parents.

“We are here to witness the experience ofthose whose lives we have changed throughour contribution and are happy to see the fac-es of their parents,” said Vodacom’s Chief Of-ficer of Corporate Affairs, Maya Makanjee.

Since the start of their partnership, nowvalued at R14 million, the Smile Foundation

and Vodacom have made a change in thelives of over 500 children – children whowould otherwise not be able to afford theseoperations.

Makanjee said that they also assisted hos-pitals with backlogs, encouraged skills trans-fered and offer psychological support beforeand after the surgery.

“Smile Foundation continues to offer chil-

dren support in any way that may be identi-fied, by the surgeon, by the sister in charge,by a psychologist, or if the need is requestedby the family or the child. If it is appropriatewe will strive to make a difference in the chil-dren’s lives and offer them a chance to devel-op a more positive self-image and confi-dence,” said Smile Foundation Operationsexecutive director Moira Gerszt.

THREE Douglas Mbopha Senior SecondarySchool learners Bukiwe Ngule, YolokaziQomo and Asavela Sambu want to studyand become successful in life.

The trio from Motherwell who are inGrade 9, already see the dangers of poor orno education at all and thank their parentsfor making sure that they get their constitu-tional right to education.

“I’d like to become a social worker,” saidNgule (15), adding that she would like to

help orphaned and vulnerable children gethoused in warm and comfortable homes.

With so many people in the country whoare ill, Qoma (15) said she wanted to becomea doctor to help them like Dr Oz, referringto the medical doctor whose programme shewatches on SABC 3.

“Of course I’d also like to start my ownbusiness. There’s nothing wrong with a doc-tor who owns a business,” said Qoma witha chuckle.

“I am going to be a soft-ware engineer,”said Sambu (14) who claims to have a soft-spot for Information Technology (IT).

DESPITE an agreement being reached be-tween the municipality and library andtraffic administration employees that willsee them upgraded with four notches ontheir current grading, these workers havevowed to remain on a go-slow until they re-ceive the increased salaries in their bankaccounts as promised.

Trade union Imatu Chairperson, ChrisHaye, said they had reached an agreementwith themunicipality, subject to council ap-proval, for all library and traffic adminis-tration workers to be given four notches ontheir current salary grade by the end of themonth.

This agreement was to be tabled at anemergency council meeting for approval

yesterday. Details of this meeting were,however, not available at the time of PE Ex-press going to print.

“The Mayoral committee met our mem-bers last week Thursday when we conclud-ed our negotiations.”

Haye said he presumed that the go-slowwould however, continue until workers re-ceived their salaries as promised but em-phasized that it was an unprotected strike.

“There have been a lot of empty promisesthat have made our members sceptical ofthe municipality. Our members did not re-ceive their promised increase last month;this made them wary of the municipality’sintentions.

“Members say they have no intention ofopening doors until the agreement has beensigned off by council,” said Haye.

Haye said they would consult members

after council approved the agreement, urg-ing them to deliver services as soon as pos-sible.

He had no accurate way of telling by howmuch the salaries would increase by.

“I cannot say how much money they arecurrently earning. The workers are gradeddifferently making it impossible to say offthe top of my head how much they earn,”he said.

Port Elizabeth NGOs said the strike mayhave a damaging impact on the up-comingmatric exams.

NGOs who work with schools and librar-ies said they had been under huge strainsince the strike commenced.

Fundisa Primary Fund (FPF) who workwith disadvantaged schools in the town-ships say they will now start with their af-ternoon classes to help kids who cannot

gain access to the internet and librarieswith their studies.

“There is a dire need for libraries,andkids from townships only have the space li-braries afford them to get more time tostudy and form study groups,” said FPFmember Tutuzela Balintulu.

“We have decided to begin our afternoonclasses to help with this crisis,” said Balin-tulu.

Friends of Linton Grange Library spokes-person, Joan Marriner, said, “This strikecomes at the worst time when kids need tooutsource books and get a space to studyoutside of school. This strike puts a hugestrain on our work.”

Marriner said they worked with the li-braries in sourcing out books and helpingto raise funds to get more awareness on theimportance of literacy.

LEARNERS of a Motherwell school in PortElizabeth made a discovery that showed thatNelson Mandela Bay residents still have along way to go before they could be satisfiedwith their alternative energy use.

At a time when South Africans are urgedto save electricity by finding alternative ener-gy means, it seems solar energy has its ownchallenges.

Dumani Primary School pupils in Mother-well recently embarked on a research projectas part of their eco-schools campaign to checkthe effects of alternative energy usage. Andthey found challenges, according to Wessa’sPearl Jonas.

“Learners from Grade 5 and 6 together withtheir educators visited houses that are in thevicinity of their school to find if and how theyare benefiting from the installation of solargeysers,” said Jonas.

They visited a total of 25 households for thesurvey.

According to their survey, some residentswere not happy at all about the solar geysers.

“Mrs Gqwetha, who is staying with fivegrandchildren in a four-roomed house, com-plained that her water bill had sky-rocketedever since the installation of the solar geyserand that her ceiling was always wet,” said Jo-nas.

Municipal spokesperson Mthubanzi Mnikisaid the most common problem with solargeysers was the leaking of water that is over-flowing. This was found at the houses whosegeysers were installed in the First Phase, ac-cording to Mniki.

“The contract was signed with the under-standing that the maintenance would be fora period of 10 years, excluding maliciousdamage,” said Mniki.

Michael Dyosopu, a Motherwell residentfound the solar geysers to be “a toothache”whereas Buyile Tom represented residentswho were happy about the solar geysers.

He said, “If the weather is warm and sunnyduring the day, the (warm) water lasts untilthe next morning.”

“Without the sun, you wait for warm wateruntil the next day,” said Dyosopu.

Residents who need to report faults can doso by phoning 0 079 835 8077.

THE CHOC Lodge is now open to the mothersof cancer patients who are admitted into theOncology ward at the Dora Nginza Hospitalin KwaZakhele, Port Elizabeth, thanks to themassive sponsorship from the Discovery Al-goa FM partnership.

Discovery and Algoa FM raised fundsthrough their annual 2012 Big Walk and 2012Urban Run to benefit CHOC who wanted tobuild the CHOC Paediatric Oncology Ward.

“Previously parents had to wait in the coldearly morning, from as early as 4am, for thehospital to open to ensure that they were firstin the queue to get treatment otherwise theyhad no transport fees to go home and returnthe next day for a subsequent visit to the doc-tor upon request. Now this has changed,”said CHOC PE Branch Manager CharmaineVosloo.

The CHOC Lodge is a 27-room facility on theSecond Floor of Building K at the hospital andcan accommodate 11 teenagers and theirmoms together with 16 toddlers and theirmoms. It has a complete kitchen, laundry, en-tertainment and bathroom facilities.

Security of the facility is ensured with bur-glar guards, CCTV cameras, a lodge managerand a relief manager.

Judy Foster, Head of sponsorship at Discov-ery said they were cognisant of their responsi-bility to the broader society and the ability toimpact positively on the lives of the people be-yond their members.

Algoa FM Managing Director Dave Tilt-mann said more was still needed. “Eventhough the lodge is fully operational now,they still require almost half a million randto maintain the lodge annually. For this rea-son, we have decided to make CHOC PE thebeneficiary for the 2013 Discovery Algoa FMBig Walk,” said Tiltman.

Cikizwa Saul from New Brighton in Port Elizabeth. I was diagnosed withasthma and tonsillitis when I was twelve years old. In 2009 I started experi-encing backache and headaches and was later diagnosed with highblood pressure. I went to the clinic for treatment but in 2010 I overheardpeople in the taxi talking about Gotha products. I stopped the taxi atthe Pick n Pay centre and bought Gotha spray and sprayed it on myback and rubbed it in. I also sprayed it in my mouth. At home I washedmy swollen feet and sprayedmy feet.Within three days I experienced nomore pains and my blood pressure was normal. I advise people to buy

Gotha products. They are excellent products and you will see the results.Go forward Gotha Health.

Eunice Tokwe fromKwazakhele in PortElizabeth. Previ-ously I had a jobin a restaurant,but had to stopworking due tomy knee problemand high bloodpressure. I couldn'twalk for longdistances and it wasdifficult to stand for any length of time. Astime passed I heard people on the radiospeaking about Gotha Twin Pack. I visitedone of their branches in Dasi, accompa-nied by my grandchildren. They had tocarry me to the top of the stairs. I boughtthe Twin Pack and Aloe spray. I drank thetablets and drops in the morning andapplied the spray to my knee. I have beenusing Magogotha products now for fiveyears and honestly, I can walk again with-out any assistance and I have no morepains in my knee. I do all the cleaning athomemyself and there is nothing I cannotdo. Furthermore, my sister had blisters onthe back of her ear. I also gave her Gothaspray. Within seven days my sister wascompletely healed and the blisters disap-peared. When I go for checkups even myhigh blood pressure is normal. I will useGotha Products till the end of my life.

My name is Siqhamo Mnyazi.Last year I injuredmy shoulder when I was playing football with friends. Iexperienced a lot of pain; I couldn't even sleep the first night. My radiowas on UmhloboWenene FM and I heard about the Gotha Health prod-ucts. I went to the pharmacy to buy the Magogotha twin pack. I usedthe Aloe spray regularly on my shoulder. It was unbelievable. Just 3weeks and I was healed. I will suggest the Gotha products to any person

with a sport injury.Gotha products work 100%.

I recommend the Gotha product, thank you GOTHA HEALTH.

My name is Vuyiswa Gwaqu from Siya Street, Joe Slovo in Port Eliza-beth. One day I was cleaning my yard, when I felt a sharp pain in myspinal cord. The doctors diagnosed me with stress, arthritis andtonsillitis. It was very painful. I heard people talking about GothaProducts on the radio and early the next morning I took a taxi to aGotha shop in the Pick n Pay centre. I bought a Twin Pack and AloeSpray. I used the products and after just two weeks I could see theimprovement. Then my husband passed away and I didn't haveenough money to buy the products. It was a very stressful time, but

then I bought the Herbal Tea blend and the stress was gone.Forward Gotha! Forward.

I am Siphe Mfihlo fromWhittlesea (Queenstown) now residing at Orange Farm(Gauteng) My situation was beyond redemption before I learned aboutMagogothahealth products.

SPORT is key to fighting crime.

This was the message given at thelaunch of “Sports against Crime” byMorning Stars Football Club, KwazakheleCommunity Policing Forum (CPF) andthe South African Police Services (SAPS).The three parties last Thursday after-

noon launched the initiative and signed amemorandum of understanding at theZwide stadium.The event was attended by Mayor Ben

Fihla, police members, school childrenfrom Kwazakhele High, Kleinskool 28Boys’ Brigade and drum majorettes.Mayor Ben Fihla called on all residents

to come together as one community toachieve a maximum partnership in thefight against crime. “Webelieve that sport

can help in the fight against crime by in-volving the youth to be actively involvedin sport rather than indulging in criminalactivities,” said Fihla.Speaking at the event, Warrant officer

Thembi Gwe of the SAPS said, “We havejoined forces in an effort to curb crimewhich is prevailing in Kwazakhele Town-ship area.We hope that this initiative willassist us to fight crime at all levels.”Advocate Fezile Gaushe, who is the le-

gal representative of Morning Stars FC,said he preferred to speak the languagethat the youth understood. “When wespeak to the youth, we must speak theirlanguage so thatwe can be at the same lev-el in addressing their challenges.”“Without our youth being encouraged

to take part in sport, we have no futureleaders. We are hoping to rope in as manyyouths as we can in sporting activities.”
