Ahousing plan for residents ofJoe Slovo Township had to beput on hold owing to infight-ing between ANC memberswho are supporting two differ-

ent ANC factions in the Ward.

Tension between the supporters of Nel-son Mandela Bay Municipality Ward 41Councillor Mbongeni Bungane and ANCBranch Chairman Simphiwe Tyukana, arerunning high - all to the detriment of serv-ice delivery.Havoc erupted in the area last Wednes-

day when residents, who were driven in atruck to occupy sites in the new developedJoe Slovo West, were allegedly pelted withstones and hit by sticks by residents fromthe East.“We have been staying in this area since

1998. There wasn’t a councillor or develop-ment. But since Cllr Bungane was elected,we saw housing development, lights, wa-ter and there was sanitation. The Munici-pality opened 8000 plots for backyard shackdwellers who were resigistered for JoeSlovo West,” said Khayakazi Bedesho, aresident.She added, “The Municipality made it

clear to us in a meeting that this housingdevelopment would include people comingfrom other stressed areas like eDongweniand Chris Hani Informal Settlements. Nowall of a sudden we see people who call them-selves the concerned group stopping peo-ple from being relocated.”Another resident said the reasonwhy the

so-called concerned residents stopped therelocated group was that they too had theirown backyard dwellers.

NUMSA regional office said claims made bythe Labour Minister, Mildred Oliphant, onMonday that parties involved are close toreaching an agreement are false, saying untilemployers reachanagreement to permanent-ly employ employees of labour brokers thestrike will continue in full force.

NUMSA provincial secretary, PhumzileNodongwe, said they are not backing downon their demands for employers to cease us-ing labour brokers who outsource employ-ers.This come after reports by SAPA that Oli-

phant said an agreement would be reachedsoon with what the report said were “stickyissues” around labour broking, the youthwage subsidy, and housing.NUMSA are demanding that their employ-

ees receive R1 000 housing allowance, a ces-sation of labour brokers, 12% wage increaseand permanent employment for employeesunder labour brokerswith over threemonths

working experience, said Nodongwe.In a statement to the press, SEIFSA Chief

Executive Officer, Kaizer Nyatsumba, saidemployers in themetals and engineering sec-tor would never accede to NUMSA’s demandto desist from using the services of labourbrokers. He said that the new offer was thevery best that SEIFSA could make in thesedifficult economic circumstances.Nyatsumba said that it had become in-

creasingly clear that NUMSA had ap-proached the negotiations with a politicalagenda, which it wanted to wage through theguise of negotiations on wages and condi-tions of employment.“Regrettably, business is not a player on

the political stage. It is evident to us thatNUMSA is advancing a political agendaagainst the ruling party... it has now chosento bludgeon business into submission onthose issues because it could not get its waywith the Government,” Nyatsumba said.In reply Nodongwe said, “This is not a po-

litical issue it is a matter of the union de-manding thatworkers’ needs bemet. I cannot

deny that there have been reports that wewant to be independent of COSATU so thatwe can be able to reach more of our workersand open up a party that, unlike theANC, canhave far reaching results for the workers inthis country.”In an interview with Indaba’s sister news-paper PE Express, NUMSA provincial secre-

tary, Phumzile Nodongwe, slated the Munici-pality’s Economic Development directorate,DeputyMayorThandoNgcolomba, andMayorBenFihla, saying theywerenot impressedwithhow the municipality had handled their caseagainst employers before the strike began.Nodongwe said the Union tried to get the

NMB Municipality to help intervene in thetalks with the employers of engineers andmet-al workers across the Metro, but to no avail.“This strikehas a direct impact on the econ-

omy of the Metro and we wanted the munici-pality to intervene and try to meet both par-ties to negotiate and ensure thatwewould nothave to resort to a strike,” said Nodongwe.One of the affected plants in the Metro,

General Motors South Africa (GMSA), shut

down its PE plant last week.GMSA Communications Manager, Denise

Van Huyssteen, said last week, “The strikein the metal and engineering sector has im-pacted upon the supply of components to ourproduction line, resulting in our line not be-ing operational since July 3.“In anticipation of the strike we built up a

sufficient inventory of vehicles to ensure anongoing supply of vehicles to customers in theshort to the medium term. Our Parts and Ac-cessories operations are running as normal,ensuring full after-sales service and supportto our customers,” van Huyssteen said.Nodongwe said they had rejected the offer

of 10%made by employers represented by theSteel and Engineering Industries Federationof Southern Africa (SEIFSA), saying theywere not backing down from their 12% wageincrease demand.Mayoral spokesperson,KupidoBaron said,

Ngcolomba had no knowledge of anymeetingrequests from NUMSA and if NUMSA wouldrequest a meeting with him, he would grantthem an opportunity.

NELSON Mandela Bay Municipality haslaid down the law with the implementationlast week of a comprehensive illegal dump-ing strategy.

A full sitting of Council sought to fast-track the implementation of a comprehen-sive illegal dumping strategy that was ap-proved last month.Earlier on, Executive Mayor Benson Fih-

la, affectionately known as Oom Ben, re-quested management to develop a templatethat would allow Council to track theprogress of the implementation of Council

decisions that were passed.“Council approved, amongst other

things, that the City Manager, Mr MpiloMbambisa, intervene personally to addressthe stalemate between two Supply ChainManagement committees regarding the ap-proval of tenders to appoint Community-Based Contractors,” said Portfolio Chair-person for Public Health, Cllr Patricia Nd-lovu.According to Cllr Ndlovu, Service Levels

Agreements must be drafted whilst theawarding of the contracts was concluded.This was to ensure that they were ready forsignature when the contracts were award-ed.

“Fundingmust be secured to ensure addi-tional Rangers can be appointed to combatillegal dumping, “ Cllr Ndlovu said.Some of the other important elements of

the plan are:. The roll out of a weekly garbage collec-

tion service to all households in NelsonMandela Bay (this will be implemented inphases depending on availability of funds),

. That a whistle-blower policy be devel-oped with regard to illegal dumping thatcould include incentives to the public thatcan provide proof of illegal dumping to themunicipality,

. A single centralized entity or Unit willbe responsible for the implementation to

avoid grey areas and bottle-necks,. The strategy will be implemented in

three phases1. Immediate actions – enforcement,

awareness, by-law fines schedule and theidentification of redundant municipalland,2. Short term actions – community and

public awareness, hot-spots managementand community employment projects,3. Medium to long term actions – infra-

structure requirements, change of servicedelivery frequency, formation of a dedica-tion unit to deal with illegal dumping andpublic-private partnerships, amongst oth-ers.

IT’S almost the beginning of the third termbut over 90% of schools in the northern sub-urbs still have teacher shortages with noword from the Eastern Cape Department ofEducation on resolving the problem.

According to a report by the Departmentof Education in June 2014, over 19 schoolsare without teachers in critical posts. Theseinclude Afrikaans medium, Maths, MathsLiteracy, Physical Science and Accounting.Over 17 000 pupils are affected in the PE dis-trict alone.The document also reveals that 3659 edu-

cator posts still need to be filled in the prov-ince. Another challenge is that of 235 un-qualified teachers in the Eastern Cape.DA MPL and Education Spokesperson,

Edmund van Vuuren, said that most of thePort Elizabeth schools that have been affect-ed by vacant posts and the redeployment ofteachers are in the northern suburbs with90% of the schools experiencing teachershortages.Van Vuuren said since many of the

schools in the northern suburbs are Afri-kaans schools, it has been a difficult task tofind teachers to be placed in the area.“We have a huge problem with crowded

classes in the northern areas. Most of ourteachers have had to combine classes and inmost schools we have found that there is ashortage due to six or seven critical subjectposts not being filled,” said Van Vuuren.VanVuuren said he had consulted the pro-

vincial MEC of Education, Mandla Makupu-la, on whether his office had taken steps onfilling substantive vacant posts in the prov-ince and utilising the services of excess anddisplaced teachers.Makhapula replied in a document ob-

tained by the PE Express that his office hadpermanently employed 1062 temporaryteachers since December 2013 and placed1907 of excess teachers to fill in the substan-tive posts.“These numbers are not enough and signi-

fy only a fraction of what is needed to fillthe gaps in schools.” said Van Vuuren. Ac-cording to him these placements are in oth-er areas and have no impact on the prob-lems faced in local Afrikaans schools.“There are no progressive solutions and de-cision making by the department. The mostthat they have done, from of what I haveheard, is that the department has requestedfunding from treasury to finance the postprovisions,” he added.One of the schools affected is Gelvandale

Primary School, with the principal sayinghe is now left with no foundation phaseteacher for the next term.Principal Pieter Williams said he had

been frustrated for years now in dealingwith the problems of teacher shortages.“It’s been seven years that our school has

been facing the problem of vacant posts. Weare in the situation where we have to com-bine classes because the department refusesto send us teachers,” said Williams.Williams added that having a class with

only 35 students was a pipe dream at his

school, with Grades 3 and 4 classes havingbeen combined for years now.“This is a huge frustration for teachers

and parents at the school. In 2012 - becauseof teacher shortages - we raised R100 000 tofill the vacant post at the school but we areunable to do this as a long term goal. I havehad numerous discussions with the Educa-tion Department at District and Provinciallevel and no one seems to appreciate theenormity of the schools’ problems. It is anexcuse that only Afrikaans schools aregreatly impacted by this problem.My schoolis an English school and we are in the sameboat as many of the schools in the district,”said Williams.Kroneberg Primary School in

Bethelsdorp said they have four vacantposts and have also lost their foundationphase teacher who retired at the end of thelast term.Principal Noël Louis said they have been

waiting for teachers to be deployed to theirschool for years, but correspondence is yetto come from the district as well as the pro-vincial department as to when teachers willbe placed at the school.Louis said because the school is in an im-

poverished area, they are unable to raisefunds to get the necessary substitute teach-ers and the ones they have been able to getat the school are paid less than a stipend.“We are mainly an Afrikaans medium

school and we also have had huge difficul-ties receiving educators from the Depart-ment. I cannot even enjoy my holiday thisJuly because I have to worry about what I

will do next term to ensure that my studentsreceive proper and adequate education,”said Louis.Another principal at one of the schools in

the northern suburbs, who wished to re-main anonymous, said he had lost confi-dence in the Department of Education. Be-cause of the problems arising from com-bined classes at his school, many of hisstudents had turned to gangsterism becausestudents had lost all hope in education.

Some of the challenges identified by theDepartment of Education are:

. Anumber of qualified temporary educa-tors who are covered outside the system;

. High number of foreign educatorsamounting to 501, as well as under- and un-qualified educators numbering 235;

. 719 protected temporary educators inthe system;

. Anomalies emanating from 2014 postdeclaration;

. Level of commitment by some districtsin submitting required information;

. Minimal response in the filling of theclosed bulletin 2 of 2014;

. Schools changing post profiles to barout application as per the closed bulletin;

. Additional serving educators who haveFET qualification who do not want to moveFET Band.

MEMBERS of the boxing fraternity in NelsonMandela Bay are up in arms over the nationalboxing governing body, Boxing South Africa(BSA)’s decision to close their office in themetro.

BSA has sent a letter instructing the localService Provider Mthunzi Mapitiza to vacatethe office with immediate effect.

This was done without explaining the rea-sons why such a drastic step was taken, saveto say it was per the resolution of the board’smeeting held on 4/5 June.

The letter, which was seen by PE ExpressIndaba, urged Mapitiza to deliver all BSAma-terial in his possession to the Eastern CapeProvincial Manager Phakamile Jacobs.

“I don’t know what is happening. I receivedno complaint suggesting that the national of-fice was not happy about anything,” saidMapitizawhohasbeenat thehelmasaboxingadministrator in the metro since 1987.

Mapitiza said, "I was not paid a cent whenI started my service to boxing. I did it for free!Butnow I amgettingpaidR3 000 amonthwithwhich I have to cover travel expenses and do

admin work, make phone calls and sendemails and faxes. And now I am given a letterwith such a tone that shows anger.”

Mapitiza believes if the letter thanked himfor his services first, and explained the rea-sons why they were no longer required, hewould have understood.

“And if the issue was about money - withthem cutting costs, I would have understoodtoo. I am a sportsman and was involved in thesport without being paid. I would offer myservices for free to the boxing people of theBay.”

“This is very sad news. It shows that BSAdoes not care about Nelson Mandela Bay box-ing licensees,” a devastated Ndumiso Finasaid.

Fina saidwhateverwrongMapitiza didwasnot communicated to them as boxing licen-sees. “The board members don’t pay for li-cences, we do,” said Fina.

According to Fina, the idea of them depend-ing on an East London-based PhakamileJacobs to pay for licences and submit con-tracts for fights would be very costly - as ithas proven to be in the past.

“Apart from all the other expenses, promot-ers would have to pay for travel expenses,

meals and accommodation for Jacobs for thetwo-days of weigh-in and the fight includingring officials. I think this is killing our box-ing,” said Fina.

BSA Board Chairperson Ntambi Ravelehowever, saw nothing sinister in the letter.According to Ravele, the move was herboard’s idea of putting things in order in theboxing organisation.

According to her, The Eastern Cape cannothave two service providers as it is costly and,according to the Auditor-General, a fruitlessexpenditure. Ravele said the board was try-ing to clean-up in order to comply with theAG’s legal imperatives.

“Theargument that the formerEPandBor-der regions used to have their own boards ofCommission does not hold water. We can’t goback to the apartheid days,” Ravele said,adding that the Gauteng Service Providertravels 450 km to (Thohoyandou) in Limpopoto assist in that provincewhichdoes not haveits own BSA office.

“We have nine provinces which must runtheir activities effectively. All we require aregood management and planning. With goodmanagement and planning we can’t gowrong,” said Ravele.

But she asked, “Where are those backyarddwellers coming from? Now that they (theconcernedgroup) are in their sites theydonotwant other people relocated. They beat No-monde Majikazana, Thabo Matini and Lula-ma Khawulela among others.”

Nomathamsanqa Charles (47) a residentfrom the opposing side, said “We did not beatthem. They are lying. All we’re saying is thatCllr Bungane must recognise the ANC struc-ture led by Simphiwe Tyukana and inform usof the developments. We only stopped peoplewe sawcoming into this areawithout consult-ing us first. Bungane does not recognise usand our Branch Executive. He must go!” shesaid.

“The Councillor has distanced himselffrom the people that elected him into power,”said an elderly Mthuthuzeli Tinise (60), add-ing that he did not like the fights going on in

the ward.Cllr Bungane, the ANC Branch executive,

police members and some members of the fac-tions held a meeting from which the mediawere barred. Attempts to speak to Cllr Bun-gane were unsuccessful.

Police spokesperson Warrant Officer Du-mile Gwavu confirmed that some residentswere involved in violent attacks against oth-ers who were being relocated to the Joe SlovoArea. Relocation then stopped.

“Police are still watching the area andthere is no sign of violence and intimidation,”said W/O Gwavu on Friday.

Meanwhile, ANC regional secretary Zandi-sile Qupe said as the regional structure theyhad left the matter to the branch executive tosolve and would take over in the event of thebranch failing to come up with a solution.

“We’ll act if and when the Branch Execut-ive tell us they have exhausted all avenuesand now need our assistance,” said Qupe.

A 25 year-old man was arrested by members ofthe South African Police Service (SAPS) aftera foiled cash-in-transit heist in Port Elizabethlast Wednesday.

According to police spokesperson WarrantOfficer Dumile Gwavu, the man allegedly over-powered a G-Force Security Guard who hadcome out of the shops at Ziyabuya ShoppingComplex, KwaDwesi and grabbed his .38 Spe-cial revolver.

The security guard was carrying cash collect-ed from one of the shops in the complex.

“He (the suspect) then grabbed a bag full ofcash and ran away crossing Uitenhage Road to-wards the bushes on top of KwaMagxaki,” saidW/O Gwavu, adding that five shots fired by oth-er guards at the running suspect missed.

The suspect was, however, not lucky as mem-bers of the Organised Crime coming fromUitenhage saw him on the run and started chas-ing.

At this stage the runaway suspect, who wascaught by members of the Organised CrimeUnit, had managed to change his clothing. Howhe did it, is a mystery.

He still had the bag full of cash and the fire-arm with him.

According to Gwavu, the suspect was arrest-edandisexpectedtoappearincourtsoonfacingcharges of cash-in-transit robbery and being inpossession of an illegal firearm.

Gwavu said it was not clear whether the sus-pect was alone or with accomplices when hecommitted the crimes.

SPOKESPERSON for the Eastern Cape de-partment of Local Government and Tradition-al Affairs, Mamkeli Ngam, has vowed thatmore arrests of bogus traditional surgeons inthe Libode area would follow.

Ngam’s utterance follows the arrest of a tra-ditional surgeon, Samkelo Mvubu, who hasbeen charged by the National Prosecuting Au-thority (NPA) on two counts of murder.

Ngam said he was collecting informationand was communicating with the Libode po-lice ahead of the expected arrests of at leastfour more bogus surgeons in the region.

Mvubu appeared in the Libode Magistrate’sCourt last Wednesday.

It is alleged that Mvubu circumcised two ofthe initiates who have died this initiation sea-son. The murder cases emanate from the dis-covery of the two dead bodies by the policeat an illegal circumcision school.

According to NPA regional spokesperson,Luxolo Tyali, in addition to the two counts ofmurder, Mvubu is also facing two counts ofcontravening the Health Standards Tradi-tional Circumcision Act No 6 of 2001.

Meanwhile, in the same court of the districtof Libode, on Thursday, July 03, three male

teenagers (16-17) appeared on charges of un-lawful circumcision for circumcising anotherboy (16).

The young initiate was rescued by the po-lice and is currently in a serious condition inthe Nelson Mandela Academic Hospital inMthatha.

The three teenagers were not released intothe custody of their parents, but were insteadreferred to the Bosasa Place of Safety inMthatha, until their next court appearance onJuly 10.

Tyali said the NPA was taking these cir-cumcision-related cases very seriously.

“We will vigorously prosecute all circumcision-related cases without fear, favour orprejudice. And where convictions are securedwe shall argue for the harshest possible sen-tences. We appeal to members of the public,especially parents, to be vigilant and to ex-pose these bogus traditional surgeons andnurses,” he said.

At the time of going to print, 24 initiateshave died in the Eastern Cape with at least131 being hospitalised or kept at rescue cen-tres.

The premier of the Eastern Cape and theMEC for Local Government and TraditionalAffairs, Fikile Xasa, was expected to addressthe media yesterday.

CELEBRATING five years of polishing en-trepreneurial pitches, the ENGEN Pitch andPolish 2014 programme was attended by ea-ger entrepreneurs at the first event, held inPort Elizabeth.

Almost 300 people filled the Feather Mar-ket Convention Centre with a keen interestin learning how to pitch their businessessuccessfully. The day began with delegateswatching a clip, which captured the essenceof events from previous years, setting thescene of what could be expected.

Stephen Reid, Business Incubator Manag-er from Raizcorp facilitated the workshopand competition and guided the delegatesthroughout the day. It was soon evident thatthe workshop is an active process whereeach individual is stretched and pushed to-wards a deeper understanding of entrepre-neurship and business.

Project Manager from the Nelson Mande-la Bay Business Chamber, Glenton De Kock,said it was a gruelling day of pitching forAsa Mazomba, Loyiso Gongqa, Luvuyo Po-nase, Lezáne van Niekerk and SiphamandlaJavu. They shared the stage and braved theaudience-cum-investors’ polishing and diffi-cult questions. Their initial 30 second pitch-es were fleshed out to become well-rounded

three minute pitches delivered to judges,Lungile Dumse, Human Capital GeneralManager, Engen Petroleum Ltd; Glenton DeKock, Project Manager, Nelson MandelaBay Business Chamber and Vernon Naidoo,Manager: VW Community Trust. Through-out the day, delegates diligently filled intheir worksheets to compile their individu-al pitches.

Characteristic to this format, is that en-trepreneurs are given feedback on theirpitches, there and then. The truth, whetherharsh or positive, is shared in the momentso that the kinks can be ironed out and thebrightness turned up.

De Kock said, “It is remarkable what canbe achieved in eight hours. Those who haveinvested the time in being here today, arewalking out knowing which area of theirbusiness needs work.”

Engen Petroleum Ltd, partnered withbusiness incubator, Raizcorp, and mediapartner SAfm, as well as local partners, Nel-son Mandela Bay Business Chamber, SEDAand Kingfisher FM.

De Kock said the workshop and competi-tion continues to be a highlight for entrepre-neurs, where they can have their ideasbrainstormed, tested and challenged – andultimately to polish their pitch.

Through to Round 2, from Port Elizabeth,are Mazomba, Ponase and Javu.

School Sports coach and looks after theschool’s kit, said their boys’ and girls’ soc-cer teams were using the same kit to playmatches.This became a big problem when both

boys and girls teams played at the sametime.“Our netball kit was old and worn-out.

We’re pleased that now we have new kit.Our teams are excited too and will surelyup their game,” said Tetiwe.Magqqabi principal Siphiwo Hoho

thanked Bridge Loans for the support. Itwill make a big difference in the school, hesaid.“We are working together in very many

other projects with Bridge Loans and arehappy they are keeping their side of thebargain - by ploughing back into the com-munity. They adopted us and are now prov-ing that our relationship with them isalive,” said a delighted Hoho.

THE problem that a few matric learners ofDDT Jabavu High School in NU5,Swartkops Valley inMotherwell had to faceregarding their Geography lessons hasbeen solved.

The learners are now looking forward topassing the subject and Grade 12, ultimate-ly. They want to achieve greatness in life,through education.“We have been attending classes every

week day and weekend to ensure that we

pass all ourmatric subjects including Geog-raphy,” said Grade 12 learner MawethuMahlulo.According to Mahlulo, there were “com-

plications” in Geography which did notmake it easy for the teacher and the learn-ers to work well together.Mahlulo wouldn’t explain, but he was

quick to add, “We finally found one anotherand are now busy doing a catch-up pro-gramme.”Mahlulo assured PE Express Indaba that

they wanted to pass matric, adding thatthey attended school even during public

holidays such as Youth Day, June 16.“We had to solve our problems because

we need education. Education is the key tosuccess. Without education, especially inthis new dispensation, you cannot suc-ceed,” said Nomveliso Sisusa, anotherGrade 12 pupil. According to her, they wantto get to the top because the bottom is toocrowded for them.“I’d like to become an architect, Graphic

Designer or Visual Artist. I can’t get thereif I am still locked in unneccesary delibera-tions about the subject. I need it to passmat-ric,” said Sakhe Ntongana, also in matric.

NELSON Mandela Bay born and bred FC Buf-falo (FCB) coach Eddie Dyaloyi has realizedhis dreams of taking his Buffalo MetropolitanCity side to play in the SAFA Second DivisionPromotional Playoffs to National First Divi-sion in Durban from 21-27 July.

Angavu Stars under Coach Mondli Funanihave lost the chance of trying luck in the pro-motional playoffs because FCB won protestagainst following their failure (Stars) to pro-vide security to players when they playedagainst each other in Queenstown some timeago.

According to SAFA Eastern Cape GeneralSecretary Isaac Klaas, FCB goal-keeper was injured in the inci-dent. Klaas said, “FC Buffalo wontheir case against Angavu Starsand they were awarded threepoints by SAFA. The case was afailure by Angavu Stars to pro-vide security which resulted inthe FC Buffalo goalkeeper beinginjured.

This is Rule 24.2.1 of SAFA Uni-form Rules and regulations. ThecasewasdealtwithbySAFAHeadOffice on 28 June 2014.”

As things stand, Angavu haveto campaign in ABC Motsepe Sec-ond Division in the 2014/2015 sea-

A PORT Elizabeth Non-Governmental Or-ganisation (NGO) Siyanqoba CommunityDevelopmentTrust isonamission tospreadthe love of cycling to the township youth, es-pecially young girls.

Cycling South Africa was concerned thatthere were fewer Africans involved in thesport and that females were close to non-ex-istent, according to Siyanqoba’s XolisaKonza.

Speaking to PE Express Indaba recently,Konza said with the help of ContinentalTyres they were able to sponsor seven bicy-cles to theyoungMotherwell girlswhowereinterested in the sport.

He said, “Wehave founda fewyoung girlswhowere interested in cycling andwith theaimtogrowthe sport in theNelsonMandelaBayTownshipswe askedContinental Tyresfor support. They donated seven bicycleswhich we gave to the club in Motherwell.”

The hand over of the bicycles at the NU13

Motherwell Community recently was a re-soundingsuccess,accordingtoYsterXatasi,also from the NGO Siyanqoba.

“The hand over of the bicycles and the of-ficial launch of the Pilot Project by Siyan-qoba was a resounding success. There’s somuch interest among the young people ofMotherwell. They are welcome to join us,”said Xatasi.

The SiyanqobaCommunityDevelopmentTrust leadership was aware that bicycleswere very expensive to buy and service, ac-cording to Xatasi.

With more community assistance andbusiness support, more young girls wouldfind something more exciting to look for-wardto -other thangoingtoschool -andthatcould make the load a little easier for Siyan-qoba, said Xatasi.

“We want to thank Continental Tyres forthe support and wish to invite other mem-bers of big business for support. This is oneof the many ways in-which we could upliftour youngwomen and re-integrate our soci-ety,” said Xatasi.

THE 2014 National SA Judo Championshipsthat are currently beingheld at theNMMUMis-sionvale Campus until Saturday July 12 re-ceived a major boost from the Nelson MandelaBay Municipality, said Mayoral spokespersonKupido Baron.

According to Baron, R 235 000 was approvedby the Committee for Sport, Recreation, Artsand Culture last week.

Judo, addedBaron,hadbeen identifiedasoneof the priority codes in theNelsonMandelaBayMunicipality’s Integrated Development Plan(IDP).

A delighted First Vice-President of JudoSouth Africa, Lindisipho Tyatya commendedthe metro municipality for the financial injec-tion, adding that itwould go a longway towardsmaking the tournament a success.

“Our Executive decided to bring the tourna-ment back to Nelson Mandela Bay after an ex-traordinary tournament last year decorated bythe fantastic facilities and entertainment of-fered locally,” said Tyatya.

There were more than 7 000 people expectedtovisit thiscityduring this tournament, accord-ing to Tyatya, a Department of Sport, Arts andRecreation official Tyatya.

Explaining, he said, those included partici-pants, Judo officials and supporters. Tyatyahadnodoubtthat thisyear’sparticipantswouldimprove upon last year’s 1 800 participants.

“Judosupportersmustcomeindrovestosup-port this tournament. We are having on ourshores the best Judokas from across Africa,”said Nelson Mandela Bay Judo ChairmanMthunzi Mapitiza.

According to Mapitiza, it is countries likeSeychelles, Swaziland, Botswana, Mauritius,Mozambique, Morocco, Zimbabwe, Zambia,Namibia and Burundi taking part with SouthAfrica.

Portfolio Chairperson for Sport, Arts andCulture, Cllr Nomamerica Soul, said the bene-fits that this event brings to the city far out-weigh the municipality’s financial contribu-tion.

“The championships are an excellent mar-keting platform and the visitors are exposed toour pristine tourism infrastructure and facili-ties. Ourhosting of this important event for thesecondyear ina rowdidnot comewithout com-petition fromother SouthAfrican cities but thelocal NelsonMandela Bay Judo structure, sup-ported by Judo SA, played a very strategic andcritical role to ensure that we are once againthe host city. This deserves appreciation,” CllrSoul added.

VODACOM NMMU Madibaz showed thatthey had what it takes to dim KwaDwesi AllStars in their PortElizabethFootballAssocia-tion (PEFA) Premier League gamewhichwasplayed at Kemsley Park.

The Students did not find it difficult tothump the KwaDwesi lads 6-1 in their one-sid-ed game. All Stars need to go to their drawingboard following a string of losses in theirgames.

A fortnight ago All Stars were defeated 3-2by PE Homerovers. Warriors waged war on

Motherwell Academy which they outclassed3-1. It seemed as if the two sides were playingfinals when Central Acemates managed tosnatch a narrow 3-2 victory fromNelsonMan-dela Bay Municipality at Westbourne OvalStadium.

PEFA Premier League champions Heartswho participated in SAFA NMB SAB Promo-tional Playoffs, appeared to be tired followingtheir 4-1 drubbing by the Londt Park Callies.
