The Lighthouse Run, which is supported by Gen-eral Motors South Africa (GMSA) and the Chev-rolet Ute Force, descended on Port Elizabeth inDecember last year and delivered an earlyChristmas to the children at the MissionvaleCare Centre.

The run comprised four women athletes run-ning over 1 600 km along South Africa’s coast,from Umhlanga Rocks in KwaZulu-Natal to Pa-ternoster in the Western Cape over a period ofsix weeks to raise awareness regarding womenand child abuse. The initiative was also aimed atraising R1-million to assist victims of abuse.

“Since setting out on 17 November we havecovered939kmover19days,andtouched19light-houses,” stated Retha Schutte, who came up withthe concept and leads the Lighthouse Run, dur-ing their visit to the Missionvale Care Centre.

“Our key aim is to shed light on abuse and,alongwiththe fourrunners,wehaveacommuni-ty service team that provides logistical supportand assists the communities along the way.”

The team is also supported by the Chevrolet

Ute Force, a team of skilled experts that travelaround South Africa in specially branded “UteForce” Chevrolet Utility bakkies completing ex-traordinary missions for needy communities.For the Lighthouse Run, the Ute Force sponsorsthe fuel, accommodation, logistical and market-ing support, and the vehicles carry the team’ssupplies.

The Lighthouse Run crew enjoyed a welcomerest day in the Friendly City mid-way throughtheir journey, and used the opportunity to bringChristmas cheer to 90 pre-school and primaryschool children at the Missionvale Care Centre.This exceptional facility was founded and is runby Sister Ethel Normoyle. Along with the pri-vately run school, it provides a wide range of sup-port to the residents of the impoverished Mis-sionvale community.

GMSA sponsored a wide range of entertain-ment for the kids for the day, including an en-thralling magic show, clowns, jumping castlesand face-painting, and each child was given amuch-appreciatedChristmasgiftandpartypack.

“We’re extremely grateful to GMSA and thewhole Lighthouse Run team,” Sister Ethel said.“There are many different forms of abuse, andwe see so much of it in Missionvale. This projectwill certainly bring healing and love to thosewho need it most. You’ve also brought so muchjoy to our children with this very special Christ-mas party.”

According to Herman Schutte, who is an emo-tional intelligence and conflict management spe-cialist on the Lighthouse Run, this is just phaseone of the project, which aims to create aware-ness around the Lighthouse Run brand, and theissues of women and child abuse.

“Phase two takes it to the next level in 2013,and is based on three pillars, comprising logisti-cal, legal and psychological support for victimsof abuse,” he said. “We are creating a networkof safe homes, attorneys and therapists in eachof the major centres around the country to en-sure that these three primary needs of victimsof abuse are covered.”

The Lighthouse Run is raising funds throughdonations, sponsorships, an SMS line and thesale of Lighthouse Run memorabilia – the latterincluding a book that will be published after thisyear’srun,documentingtheremarkable journeythat comprises 42 days and 42 lighthouses.

IT’S no secret that South Africa’sfilm industry is rooted in Johan-nesburg and Cape Town. But whatfew people know is that there is abudding industry in the EasternCape, with Port Elizabeth estab-lishing itself as a television pro-duction and training hub, poisedto take on the big boys.

Starting from January 5 this year,established and emerging filmmak-ers in Nelson Mandela Bay and sur-rounds, are showcased on communi-ty television channel, BayTV. The se-ries, aptly entitled Film@Bay, isflighted at 8pmon Saturdays, with re-peat broadcasts at 10.30am on Sun-days and 4pm on Mondays. BayTV isnow also available to a national audi-ence on channel 260 on DStv.

Among the established filmmakersfeatured onFilm@Bay are the award-winning film director David Listerand renowned film producer AndréScholtz. Other guests interviewed onthe show includeAndrewMackenzie,Creative Director at Boomtown Stra-tegic Brand Agency; Richard Ahl-feldt, Managing Director of RooftopProductions; Mike Vincent of Jas-mine Films; Paul Ruschenbaum,owner of 4x4 Adventure Videos;emerging television director, SiviweBesman, and Prof Jean Greyling andDr Dieter Vogts of the NelsonMande-la Metropolitan University.The series also features short films

produced by emerging filmmakersand provides filmmaking tips forthose interested in entering the in-dustry.

Film@Bay’s Executive Producer isDenise Roodt, owner of The MediaWorkshop, a media production andtrainingcompanybased inPortEliza-beth.“There are somany talentedpeople

doing greatwork in theEasternCape,but yet the national perception ap-pears to be that nothing is going onhere. I wanted to change that.“Film@Bay features production

companies producing award-win-ning work of an international stand-ard - from commercials and promo-tional videos to documentaries andadventure sports programmes.We al-so highlight ground-breaking anima-tion projects at the NMMU.“But, for me, the short films pro-

duced by students and interns are themost inspiring. They prove that there

is a wealth of talent in the EasternCape, who, with a bit of spit andpolish, can produce work of a profes-sional standard.”In keeping with The Media Work-

shop’s mission to include a skillstraining aspect in all productions,Film@Bay’s core production team in-cludes camera intern, Gqabi Njokwe-ni and film production student,Loréan Swartbooi, as production as-sistant. The show’s anchor, Busi Na-ko, is also a film production student.“All our senior filmstudents are in-

volved in the production in somewayor other.Webelieve in training bydo-ing and Film@Bay serves as an excel-lent training vehicle,” says HubertNgqawana, Training and Develop-ment Manager at The Media Work-shop.

GENERAL Motors South Africa(GMSA) brought the joy ofChristmas to underprivilegedchildren at a crèche in Veeplaas,in December.As part of GMSA’s regular

Festive Season community ac-tivities, all of the children at StPaul’sOutreachDaycareCentreand Crèche received gifts andparty packs fromFather Christ-mas. They were also enter-tained with face painting andballoon animals, and were en-thralled with the day’s events.“This party means so much

to the children,” stated Priscil-la Tshaka, the manager of StPaul’s centre. “It has madethem so happy, because theyrarely get to experience the joy

and excitement of Christmas.”TheStPaul’sOutreachDaycareCen-

tre and Crèche is run by a team of vol-unteers fromtheVeeplaas community,and cares for 56 children between theages of two and five years old. It re-ceives no funding from themunicipali-ty or government, but is a beneficiaryof Community Chest.“AlthoughGeneralMotors supports

a wide range of community projectsthroughout the year, it’s wonderful tobe able to bring the gift of giving andthe Christmas spirit to these delightfulchildren,”saysMichelleWilson,publicrelations officer at GMSA.“It is so heart-warming to see the

sparkle in their eyes and the sheer ex-citement on their faces, and that iswhat the Festive Season is all about.”

VISITORS and residents flocked to The Board-walk Casino&Entertainment Complex this hol-iday season with its new multimedia water fea-ture on the lake as one of the main attractions.The multimedia water spectacular centre-

piece will be a permanent feature at The Board-walk.According to The Boardwalk general manag-

against the world’s best players suchas Alexander Moiseyev of the UnitedStates of America (USA), MichelleBorghetti from Italy and RonaldKing of Barbados.According toMind Sport SouthAf-

rica (MSSA) President Colin Web-ster, none of these competitors werean easy mark. Alexander, who ulti-mately won the tournament, is cur-rently the ‘3 move’ World Championand Ronald King is the “Go-As-You-Please” (GAYP) World Champion.Draughts is also known as Check-

ers in the US.“I grew up playing the sport which

I learnt fromthegreatmindsandaca-demics inNewBrighton,” saidKond-lo proudly.He was only 7 years old when this

mind game was introduced to himwhile attendingMasangwanaPrima-ry School.“There were local clubs in our

townships then,” he said, adding thatNew Brighton had Vulindlela, Kwa-Zakhele had All Stars whileKwaNobuhle had Vukani. “Theseclubs produced great thinkers andhelped us develop the love of thegame,” said Kondlo.After passing matric at Cowan

High School, Kondlo went to partici-pate in the sport in Gauteng as amemberof theMerabeClubwhereheread books and mastered the game.“But my big break came in 2007

when Iwent to theUS to play andwin

against the No. 1 in the game,” saidKondlo. At the time he had won theSouth African Championship a cou-ple of times and had stopped compet-ing in the country because he nolonger had competition.

The last visitwashis second toBei-jing. He has also represented thecountry in Ireland and Rome.One of Kondlo’s greatest wishes is

FOOTBALL was the winner dur-ing the SAFA Eastern Cape Ned-bank games when Swartkops Val-ley United Brothers (SUBS) lost1-0 to the high flying Tembu Roy-als at Jabavu Stadium late lastmonth.

SUBS did not show any respectto Royals as they threw every-thing into the game from the out-set. SUBS striker Njongo Ntsund-wanaand skipperLuthandoMati-wane gave the visitors’ defence aheadache. Both sides could not

break the ice until the end of thefirst stanza of the game.

SUBSstartedwhere they left offin the second stanza but Royalsgoalkeeper, Langeni Chansa Go-go, stood his ground.

In the dying moments SUBS’poor marking gave Royals’ mid-fielder Solomzi Solly Mhlana anopportunity to score his side’swinning goal. Drama occurredwhen both sides ended the gamewith 10 men owing to red cardsawarded to SUBS defender AyaNkohla (twoyellowcards) and theRoyals goalie (for bad language,according to referee).
