Thepurpose of the What’s On page is to provide non-profitorganisations with a platform to publicise their events. Thismeans that if schools, charity groups or social clubs wishto tell readers about their fun-runs, fetes or variety showsthey have a place where they can reach Makana residents.We do not charge for this service because we understandthat such organisations lack the resources to payfor regular adverts. Our system is not unusual amongcommunity newspapers – the name of the page might bedifferent but almost all local newspapers have a page or acolumn where the community can advertise events for littleor no charge.If the show is purely commercial there is no problem– you charge money at the door for your show, and youpay for an advert if you want to make any announcements.Such a case is quite simple, but what happens if an NGOhires a singer to perform at a fundraiser and then asksGrocott’s Mail for a free advert in the What’s On section?This is where it gets a little tricky, but if the school orcharity organisation is genuinely arranging the show as acharity event, then we will assess the situation and possiblyplace a free advert in the relevant section.Recently a highly respected charity organisation intown submitted an announcement about a show for theWhat’s On page and then requested a free editorial as well.We subsequently discovered that although the organiserswere unwilling to pay Grocott’s Mail a rather insignificantamount for an advert, they were quite happy to pay anenormous fee for the performer to put on his show.This incident made us feel that our goodwill had beenexploited and that perhaps, like other organisations in Grahamstown,we should charge for all our services.Visitwww.grocotts.co.zafor your online fixSouth Africa’s Oldest Independent NewspaperIncorporating The Grahamstown Journal (1831 – 1920)Vol. 141 No. 15Published by the David Rabkin Project for ExperientialJournalism Training (Pty) Ltd, 40 High Street, Grahamstown, 6139.Printed by PaarlcoldsetTelephone: 046 622 7222 • Fax: 046 622 7282/3www.grocotts.co.zaEMAIl ADDrESSESNews: editor@grocotts.co.zaWebsite: online@grocotts.co.zaAdvertising: adverts@grocotts.co.za or ronel@grocotts.co.zaSport: sport@grocotts.co.zaletters: letters@grocotts.co.zaGeneral Manager: l.vale@grocotts.co.zaEDITOrIAlEditor: Steven LangNews Editor Abongile MgaqelwaStaff reporters: Kwanele ButanaStaff Photographer/reporter: Stephen Penney,New Media Editor: Michael SalzwedelGeneral Manager: Louise ValeAdvertising Manager: Ronél BowlesGrocott’s Mail is published by the David Rabkin Projectfor Experiential Journalism, a company wholly ownedby Rhodes University. The contents of this newspaper donot necessarily represent the views of either body.Mandela vs Mr Justice De WetLately I have been hearing the question: where were you whenNelson Mandela was released from prison? My short answerto that is that I was the principal of Matsa High School, justoutside King William's Town.But I have a more difficult one to ask: where were youwhen Mandela waited for judgement of Mr Justice De Wetafter listening to serious charges from Dr Percy Yutor, theprosecutor?That day I prayed that he did not get the death sentence.It was early in the 60s. Names such as Bram Fischer andGeorge Bizos were mentioned. Black South Africans held theirbreaths. It came as a relief that he was given a life sentence. Atleast his life was spared.It was about that time that he said in his defence that ademocratic South Africa was one he was prepared to die for. Itwas the worst time from a black man's point of view. The primeminister was Dr HF Verwoed and the Nationalists of Grahamstownmade no secret of their support for apartheid andgeneral dislike for the black man. Their 1966 General Electionmanifesto was: “Vote the Nat way. Vote Westaway”.NJ MpetileGrahamstown needs to growThis letter is in response to Dr Norbert Dräger's letter in theGrocott's Mail of 22 February.Firstly, Dr Dräger forgets to tell readers that the Universityof Cape Town, Groote Schuur Hospital and the Red CrossChildrens Hospital in Cape Town, Rondebosch and othersouthern suburb residents are, inter alia, also directly belowthe flight path of a variety of aeroplanes, including jets.Having lived in Rondebosch for 22 years, we have neverfound the noise of the aircraft to be a handicap and we believethat anyone can become accustomed to the noise of aircraft,whether at night or during the day.To try and stop progress in Grahamstown seems a selfishand futile exercise. Let us all show some foresight and allowour little city to develop to the best of its potential. If you wantto live in a sleepy hollow, move to a farm in the middle of nowhere.Grahamstown needs to grow.Not all Grahamstown citizens are apathetic and certainlymost of us have foresight! It is the relative few who seem unableto cope with development and change.In favour of aircraft in GrahamstownAries Nest development stillwreaking havocLast year a letter was published in Grocott's Mail (and therewas also an article) on the abusive use of Cawood Street bythe owners/developers of Aries Nest on the corner of CawoodStreet, opposite the First Gospel Church.They are still taking liberties – if you see the street sincethey resumed work in January it is still filled with rubble,cement, bricks and concrete mixers. Vehicles cannot use halfof the road in Cawood Street and when vehicles are parked infront of the church then it is almost impossible to drive past.Please could our so-called vigilent traffic department dosomething to stop this abuse of our (ratepayers') road?And when can we expect a sizeable contribution to be paidby the owners of Aries Nest towards each resident's municipalrates and taxes, for Aries Nest's inconsideration and abuse ofour road?It is bad enough that the large wall, although ‘cut’ at thecorner, still handicaps the view of drivers down Cawood Streetbut to have to tolerate their absolute disregard for all residentsin the area is nothing short of criminal.Please could the criminals be brought to book – municipalityand municipal traffic department, where are you?Irate ResidentsGet real and embraceprogressI just had to respond to the letter from Norbert Dräger regardinghis opposition to the proposed new air school as it remindedme of how Grahamstown appears to be intent on shootingitself in the foot. Any development that is contemplated in ourlittle city attracts the attention of a small band of so-calledactivists who will stop at just about nothing to halt development– including stooping to personal insults in the case of RobBeer. Get real, people – we need development if we are to haveany chance to provide jobs opportunities for the 65% of ourworkforce who are unemployed. We put money in their pockets,new businesses develop and existing ones prosper; andmore jobs result. I believe that there is a direct link betweenemployment, human dignity, education and crime alleviation.Surely this is something we all want? Rather than trying toput a complete stop to something as potentially important asa thriving new air school, shouldn't we be trying to find a compromise?This would ensure we get to benefit from the influxof new people and new money and all we might give up whenthe wind is blowing in the wrong direction is the occassionalSunday afternoon nap.Up, up and awayThank you for helpingBrookshaw HomeThanks to the community, His People Church and the schoolsfor a successful street collection.

Grocott’s Mail Friday, 26 February 2010NEWS11How many wives do youneed – the debateShould President Jacob Zuma’s polygamous lifestyle be accepted as part of South African society?Eight Rhodes student debaters came together on Monday night to discuss the motion:This house would condemn Jacob Zuma’s polygamous lifestyleDRAWING IN THE AIR... Beth Armstrong talks about herupcoming exhibition entitled Hippocampus. Both calculatedand chaotic, she says the exhibition grew from “adream that became more real to me – a man-sized seahorseappeared in my bed”. Hippocampus is the scientificname for the seahorse, and “the part of our brain usedfor cognitive mapping” says Armstrong. Playing withspace, “sculptures that are shadows, shadows that aresculptures,” she reveals a conversation between our perceptionsof three-dimensional and two-dimensional realities.Intertwining the literal with illusion, Hippocampus willopen this Saturday at 5.30pm with a talk by Ashraf Jamalof the Rhodes Fine Art Department. It is open for viewingon Monday and Tuesday, between 11am and 3pm in theRehearsal Room of the 1820 Settlers Monument. Photo:Nicola van RensburgANNETJIE VAN WYNEGAARDThe Eden Grove Bluelecture theatre wasjam-packed with studentsand learners fromKingswood College and VictoriaGirls’ High when theRhodes Debating Societyheld its Xxxhibition debate.The Xxxhibition debate isa tradition and is held everyyear to expose students interestedin debating to theBritish parliamentary styleand to encourage students tojoin the society, says chairpersonKabwela Chisaka.Ingrid Cloete and CliveEley opened the debate.Cloete, ‘the prime minister’,argued that today’s customarylaw, which makes polygamousmarriages legal,is there to protect women’srights. She said that in thepast, women who were secondor third wives were notrecognised as such whenthe husband died, and weretherefore often left without ahome or much support.Cloete argued that polygamyreinforces patriarchyand causes a breakdownin the equality and dignity ofwomen who must then competefor a man. At this point,Chisaka, the deputy leaderof the opposition, leaped outof her seat proclaiming thatwomen compete for men allthe time, to which Cloete replied“I’ve never had to competefor a man.”Michelle Beukes, theleader of the opposition, opposedthe motion and askedwhy Zuma should be theonly Zulu in the country notallowed to exercise his culturalright to polygamy.“Whether or not we thinkhe’s a horrible person he isdoing nothing against thelaw,” she said.Deputy prime ministerEley weighed up the valuesand harms of polygamy topeople and to society. Hechallenged Beukes’ claim tocultural relativism and saidthat the president is different,because society holdshim to a higher moral standardthan any other person.Eley said that Zuma’s polygamy,as shown in the media,is not representative of polygamyin South Africa.At this point Chisakawas itching to take to the podium.She questioned Eley’swestern notion of polygamyas she says that women intraditional polygamous marriagesare not meant to feelinterior or superior to theother wives, instead, it providesa network of wives tocall upon and to stabilisethe household. She addedthat people in South Africashould be allowed to maketheir own choices.James Ekron defendedthe motion in the second halfof the debate. He argued thatZuma is undermining cultureby making a spectacle ofit and making it difficult forothers to practice polygamy.He said Zuma’s approach isanything but traditional, as“he has been exonerated forrape, engaged in extra-maritalaffairs and impregnatedwomen before (or if at all) hehas married them.” Customarylaw and Zulu culture requirethat families meet andtalk first before a marriageis approved, but Zuma “believeshe may take a womanas he wants”.Ekron concluded his argumrentby saying that nothingis beyond the scrutiny ofpublic debate, especially notthe presidency.At this stage the closingopposition was bristling withindignation. Egmont Bouwercontested Ekron’s condemnationof Zuma’s extramaritalaffairs, and proclaimed“pomping is not polygamy”.Bouwer also questioned the“false dichotomy” of beingtotally Zulu or totally western.He argued that cultureis fluid and that monogamy,which has become such anatural institution, is not“the be-all and end-all” ofsociety. “In monogamy youwrap the bride in a whitedress and pay her a diamondring for her virginity,” he declaredprovocatively.Dylan Smith wrappedup the government’s side ofthe debate by saying Zuma’spolygamy is damaging SouthAfrica’s image of the world.The final word camefrom Lwamba Chisaka whoasserted that the defendersof the motion had failedto prove that the effects ofpolygamy on Zuma’s wiveswere negative. She insistedthat Zuma’s extramaritalaffairs and dubious moralchoices are not reasons tocondemn his lifestyle, whichwas the nature of the debate.After a rapid fire of questionsthat left the debatersdrained and longing for thefree pizza and wine servedoutside, the winners wereannounced. Beukes and Chisakawere the winners withEkron and Smith followinghot on their heels in secondplace. Cloete and Eley werein third place and Bouwerand Lwamba Chisaka rankedin fourth place.St Andrew’s College and St Andrew’s Preparatory School in Grahamstown, anexciting educational environment and school with immense tradition, invitesapplications for the post of:MAINTENANCE FOREMAN/ARTISANThe successful candidate:• Must be a qualified Artisan (will be asked to produce certificates)• must have supervisory skills and will be expected to work hands-on withthe team• should be able to communicate in English as well as Afrikaans or Xhosa• must be in possession of a valid drivers licence• should be computer literate.MAINTENANCE CARPENTERThe successful candidate:• Should be a qualified carpenter or have a least 10 years workingexperience in the carpentry trade.• will be required to work as part of the St Andrew’s Maintenance Team• having experience in another maintenance field will be an advantage.The posts will commence on 1 May 2010.Interested persons are required to submit a letter of application together witha full Curriculum Vitae and the names and contact details of at least threereferees to: Jasu Ranchhod, PO Box 182, Grahamstown, 6140Tel: 046 603 2306 ∙ Fax: 046 603 2381.

InJune, Jones will be retiringafter 17 and a half years as theschool’s principal.She says Grahamstownhas always been an extensionof her home – a place of horseriding competitions and balletlessons in contrast to Peddie,her childhood home. Schooledat Queenstown Girl’s Highshe later moved to KingsridgeHigh School where she met“the most amazing headmistress,by the name of MissSlater.”She recalls that “we calledher the Lady. She had somuch dignity and a wonderfulsense of humour. She wasquite a dramatist, if a childdid something naughty, evenif you wanted to smile aboutit you had to show righteousindignation.“She had a huge impact onmy life, and she’s the one whosaid I should go into teaching.At the time I thought ‘what ajoke, when I’m finished schoolI’m out of school.’”Jones says Roy Simpson,ex-principal of Graeme College,is “the one to blame forgetting me into education”after he gave her her firstjob as an English teacherat Selborne College in EastLondon.Here she had found hercalling. “I realised Miss Slaterwas quite correct, ” she says.“When I started teaching inthe primary school I realisedthat this was it – the foundationon which children develop.”Over the years she hasrelished the self-expressionof her pupils during the manyMaths, Science and Englishclasses she taught. “It’s lovelywhen children have thoseaha! moments, when theysuddenly see something andit clicks!”Jones acknowledges thatmuch has changed since MissSlater’s day; “Being a headmistresshas changed now,it’s hugely different, there wasa lot of support structuresavailable which we as principalsdon’t have anymore – it’sa very lonely job”.She credits Victoria Primary’s“absolutely wonderful”governing body withWE’LL MISS YOU...

Despite the difficultiesfacing educators she has nofear for the future of educationwhile teachers are “committed– not just to a salaryat the end of the month, butto education and getting thechildren from where they areto where they ought to be”.Having spent her life inthe Eastern Cape, Jones hascome to believe that the peopleof the Eastern Cape aretruly special.“If you want the moneyyou go to Jo’burg, if youwant the scenery you go toCape town, but if you wantto meet wonderful peopleyou go to the Eastern Cape.”After her retirement she willbe moving to Kenton-on-Seawhere she still enjoys horseriding as well as waterskiingon the Kariega River.She then hopes to catchup on time lost with her husbandduring the last 18 freneticyears. “He’s getting lonely,”Jones explains, “it’s not easyto be married to a principal,your time is never really yourown, you get phone calls onthe weekend, phone calls duringthe holidays, I’m givinghim some of my time now.”Colette Kaiser will takeJones’ place temporarilywhile the school advertisesfor a new headmistress.

Fifa’smind-boggling ticket-sales system, coupledwith price-hikes for anything to do with attendinga game, make it nearly impossiblefor locals to be able to afford access to theworld’s biggest event, despite it being hostedin their country.A few weeks ago, people who had appliedfor tickets during the third phase of saleswere told whether their applications weresuccessful or not, leaving many bewilderedas to how the allocation system works. Whilethousands have confirmed that they have receivedtickets, many have complained thatthey are not sure on what basis their applicationshave been rejected, especially sinceFifa reported that sales have been lower thanexpected – only 2.1 million of a total of 2.9 milliontickets have been sold.“We applied for two tickets on the Internetand waited for an email which never came,”said Gareth Nicholson, a student. “When wefinally checked on the website, it said the applicationhad been declined. We really don’tknow why.”The complex system has also deterredwould-be fans from even attempting to apply,with many South Africans in outlying areasnot having access to the Internet and bankingfacilities necessary for initiating the tediousbooking process.At this point it seems that the only peopleguaranteed to watch World Cup matches liveare those granted access by Fifa, their partnersand sponsors. It was estimated at thelast world cup that employees of the sponsorcompanies – Coca-Cola, Budweiser andMcDonalds – held between one in six tickets,with each of the 15 sponsors in Germany allocated25 000 tickets at least.Ford Foundation Awardhonours local HIV counsellorASHLEY STANDERPHEHELLO Mahasele, apostgraduate student in thePharmacy Department, recentlywon the Ford FoundationInternational FellowshipsProgramme AlumniAssociation’s Alumni of theYear Award for outstandingperformance and lasting contributionsto social justice inSouth Africa.The award was presentedto Phehello at the association’sAGM held in Johannesburgin early February wherePhehello was also electedas executive member of thecommittee representing theEastern Cape.The Ford Foundationpresented Phehello with acertificate of recognition fordemonstrating deep dedicationto the International Fellowship’sProgramme’s valuesof learning, leadershipand commitment. As a managementcommittee memberof the Raphael Centre forHIV Voluntary Counselingand Testing (VCT) and HIVsupport and outreach programmes,he won this awardthrough his dedicated focuson HIV/Aids management.Phehello MahaseleSince the centre’s inceptionin 1999 thousands of peoplehave been helped throughcounseling, testing and socialsupport by providing childrenof the HIV affected and infectedwith school uniformsand school fees.The centre is the firstlicensed non-medical testingsite in Grahamstown providingmobile VCT servicesto rural communities. Thecommittee aims to expandIn addition to this, one in nine ticketswere reserved for “corporate-hospitality”deals, where VIPs could purchase packagesthat included a good seat, five-star accommodationand exclusive access to the World Cuphospitality villages. Four years ago, a packagelike this could cost up to £1 700 per game.Ticket allocation statistics haven’t yetbeen released by Fifa but the trend seemsset to continue in South Africa with generalsecretary Jerome Valcke admitting last weekthat hospitality packages at this year’s WorldCup have not sold because they are simplytoo expensive for locals to purchase.Along with this, big companies haveshown their purchasing power by flashingtheir tickets to the public and organisinghand-out publicity schemes. Coca-Cola, forexample, is offering 20 000 tickets to learnersfrom schools across the country who contributeto a national recycling drive. Although thetickets come from the Ticket Fund – an initiativeset up by Fifa to “reward” South Africansinvolved with the World Cup and in worthycauses – the awarding of these tickets is stillbased on boosting Coca-Cola’s image.Valcke also admitted that opportunisticpricing by airlines and travel agencies is toblame for ticket sales being so disappointing.“It is clear,” he said, “that people havedecided that because it is the World Cup theyask the highest amount possible to maximiseincome.”As a result, Fifa have agreed to lower theprice of category two and three tickets forresidents so that stadiums won’t be left halfempty.Between the allocation process, the costof accommodation and travelling to games,and the intention of corporates to get asmuch out of the event as possible, the questionstill looms as to whether this World Cuptruly belongs to South Africa. It would seemthat the enthusiasm and optimism shown bySouth Africans in being involved in the WorldCup counts for little, if anything at all.prevention education servicesto reach more than athousand individuals everymonth.

The new brand is the culminationof an intensive research, brand developmentand design period, for the renewal of therole of Makana Municipality.“This new brand heralds the beginning ofa new era in the growth and developmentof our local economy. The introduction ofthis brand should not be seen in isolationbut as the beginning of the realisation ofthe aspirations of Makana Municipality,”says Baart. We have created an inclusivebrand that will be embraced by everyoneassociated with it.”MAKANA Municipality’s vision is to striveto ensure sustainable, affordable, equitableand quality services in a just, friendly,secure and healthy environment whichpromotes social and economic growthfor all.The Municipality is primarily responsiblefor the provision of municipal services to thecommunity and to promote an environmentconducive to the development of thecommunities of the area with the objectiveof a better life for all.MAKANA Municipality identified that inorder to fulfill this mandate successfully, itwas necessary to evaluate and repositionthe Makana Municipality brand. The brandingexercise examined how the image ofMakana Municipality could be revitalisedlocally, nationally and internationally inorder to position the area as a sought-aftertourist and business destination to visitand to invest in.Makana Municipality’s Media and CommunicationsOfficer, Thandy Matebeseexplains the approach. “A phased approachwas adopted for the brand developmentand implementation process. During thefirst phase, which began in September 2007,a leading agency, OPENFORM STUDIO,was awarded the branding contract,following an extensive tender process.A steering committee was established,and a research project was initiated.Key to the brand development processwas the research component geared atunderstanding perceptions of the markettowards the existing brand and brandingactivities. The research determined to whatextent Makana Municipality’s publics knewand understood the existing brand - positiveand negative elements - and was conductedagainst the back drop of a number ofbrands active within the municipal area.Other objectives included examining how…Grahamstown, Alicedale, Riebeeck East, Sidbury, Highlands, Carlisle Bridge, FrasersCamp, Manley Flats, Salem, Fort Brown, Seven Fountains and Committee’s Drift.… and it’s a great place to bethe image of Makana Municipality couldbe revitalised; determining the impactof current communication between theMunicipality and the general public andthe Municipality and its employees;determining the attitude of business andcivil society with regard to partnership withgovernment; and determining the internalclimate with regard to the perceptionof rebranding.”The research was highly inclusive, coveringall rural and urban areas within theMakana Municipal boundaries, and includedcompetitor research, in-depth interviewswith municipal leaders, serviceproviders and business leaders, variousfocus groups and on the ground, oneon-oneQ&A interviews with the publicand municipal workers. 2032 individualinterviews were conducted.A signage audit ran concurrently withthe research project which was finalisedin March 2009, followed by an intensivedesign and consultation process.The launch at the community RecreationHall on Friday forms part of the openingof council and marks the culmination of thebranding process. On Saturday MakanaMunicipality takes the brand to town to meetthe people of Makana. The promotionalroad show, begins at 11am at ChurchSquare in High Street, then at the CarWash in Beaufort Street, at the trafficintersection in Raglan Road, outside RadioGrahamstown in Fraude Street, MandelaStreet outside Emazotshweni Bottle Store,Noluthando Hall, the Shopping area at JozaTownship, Ncame Street - Extension 1, NewCommunity Hall - Extension 9, Sani Street -Extension 5, ending at Dlukulu Clinic -Extension 7.

N. BAARTMUNICIPAL MANAGERMAKANA MUNICIPALITYMUNICIPAL NOTICEECOLI PRESENCEGrocott’s GAO1182Tantyi Primary School principal Christopher Christian saysthat teachers at the school have accused him of using anoutdated leadership style but they are undermining how theschool is run. Photo: Camilla MarshTeaching ground to a halt at Tantyi Primary School for thewhole of yesterday as teachers downed tools in protestagainst the principal.The school’s principal Christopher Christian told Grocott’sMail that the teachers believe his leadership style is outdated.“They say I’m the one controlling the SGB [School GoverningBody] and accusing me of calling yesterday’s parents’ meeting,”he said. Christian said that the meeting had been called bythe SGB and that he had attended to give evidence of what hasbeen taking place at the school.He said the problems started with the selection process ofa substitute teacher which was advertised in local communitymedia last month. According to Christian, the school’s teachersprevented the interviews for the shortlisted candidates fromtaking place, which were scheduled shortly after the shortlistingprocess was concluded on 28 January. Christian has sincereceived a letter from one of the candidates enquiring about thecancellation of the interviews and a scheduled future date.“One candidate is from the Tantyi community and the educatorshave personal problems with the candidate,” he said. Headded that only the SGB can recommend appointments andthat the School Management Team can support such a movebut not initiate it.The South African Democratic Teachers Union (Sadtu)wrote to the district office of the Department of Education on3 February asking it to intervene in the selection process as itbelieves that the process is being “seriously violated”.Sadtu requested that the interviews be cancelled.According to Christian, educators claimed that he preemptedthe outcome of the interviews but Sadtu has not producedany evidence to this effect.When Grocott’s Mail visited the school in the early afternoonthe last group of learners was leaving while teachers,Sadtu and officials from the education department were lockedin a meeting in the staff room. However, the educators who wereavailable refused to speak to Grocott’s Mail.SGB vice-chairperson Gideon Mapapu said the problem atthe school was that teachers want to run the school themselvesand are undermining the SGB. He said that some teachers resignedfrom the SGB due to differences between them and theSGB members and that while he called the Wednesday parents’meeting he did not invite the teachers deliberately. “I invitedSadtu and the District Director [Thamsanqa Fetsha] and noneof them came,” he added.Mapapu also said they want their children to be taught sothat they do not end up illiterate as their parents. “It worries usbecause it’s not the first time they [educators] are neglectingour children,” he added. Comments from the education departmentcould not be obtained at the time of going to print.Thought for the weekThe safest place on earthCan you imagine a place where we are free from the heavyclouds of judgementalism and condemnation? Have you everdreamed of a haven where we are not identified by our failuresand shortcomings? That would truly be a wonderful environment.But surely this is more than just a poet’s yearnings.Is it not His very design for His church?Jesus himself said that He did not come to condemn theworld but to rescue it. We as the church cannot rescue people,but perhaps we can take the obstacle of our condemnationout of the way so that the world can come to Him.I am by no means advocating that we turn a blind eye toall manner antisocial behaviour. All I am saying is that perhapsit not ours to grade each other. When the church wakesto this, will we not then be the safest place on Earth?Dave KochFrontiers Church InternationalThe Grocott’s Mail advertisingteam welcomes Bongani Liwani asan Advertising Sales RepContact him on 046- 622 7222or 076 023 6171• Fax: 046 - 622 7282E-Mail: bongs.protut@webmail.co.zaABUNDANT LIFE WORSHIPCENTRE (Kuyasa School Hall)10.30am morning servicePastor NC Julius 079 496 4256APOSTOLIC FAITH MISSION OFSA (cnr Ncame and Makana Way,Ext 4, white tent next to Telkomtower)9am Youth and Sunday SchoolServices10am morning serviceASSEMBLY OF GOD(Blackbeard Street)10am – erediens, 6nmaanddiensPastoor B Brown 046 622 4963AGS/ATMEL SHADDAI(Johnny Burgess Hall, MiddleTerrace Road)10am Erediens5pm AanddiensOud Rolen 073 453 9934Dieken Ronnie 083 610 2926Evang Edwin 079 306 7577CATHEDRAL OF ST MICHAEL& ST GEORGE (High Street)7.30am: Holy Eucharist (AAPB)9.30am: Holy Eucharist (AAPB)Preacher: The Revd NoluthandoGixana5pm: Choral EvensongPreacher: Prof Paul Walters7pm Student ServicePreacher: Canon Bill DomerisCHRIST CHURCH (Speke Street)8.30am Holy Eucharist 2nd,4th Sundays APB 1989, all otherSundays BCP1662CONQUERORS COVENANTCHURCH (Nombulelo Hall, Joza)Services every Sunday 10am –12pmNceba Ngeju 073 653 2655EMMANUEL ASSEMBLY(12 Paton Place, Vergenoeg)9am Sunday School, 10.30ammorning service5.30pm evening serviceRev L Williams 046 622 4388 (H)FRONTIERS CHURCHINTERNATIONAL(Oatlands School Hall, AfricanStreet)9.30am morning serviceDave Koch 084 470 2095 or046 636 7815FULL GOSPEL CHURCH OF GOD(11 Caldecott Street)9am Morning service and9am Promise land (SundaySchool)6.30pm evening servicePastor Neels Prinsloo 046 6225949FULL GOSPEL CHURCH OFGOD (24 P Street)10am Kidz Church11am morning servicePastor TP Dube Ngcayisa 082 355 8860GRAHAMSTOWN BAPTISTCHURCH (Bathurst Street)9.30am morning worship andSunday School Every 1st SundayCommunion6.30pm evening service every3rd Sunday Communion11.30am Kariega Church 4thSunday onlyGRAHAMSTOWN CHRISTIANCENTRE (Lucas Meyer Ave)9am Sunday worshipPastor D Hagemann 046 6223309HIS PEOPLE CHRISTIANCHURCH (VG High Scool hall)9am Morning services6.30pm.

Give us a callAsurvey conducted by BP Ultimate, revealed that mostSouth Africans don’t really care about the fuel they putinto their cars, which are in all likelihood their secondbiggest investment after a home. Over 2 000 motorists acrossthe country from various backgrounds, were polled accordingto their knowledge of the fuel price, differences between fuelgrades and what benefits particular fuels offered.Government sets the price of fuel in South Africa and allservice stations are obliged to charge the same price for petrol,while diesel trades in a band – varying between 10c and 50c alitre – depending on the service station and different geographicallocations. Yet most unleaded users polled thought they werepaying more than the actual price per litre, and at least 20% ofdiesel users had no idea how much they were paying.Unlike petrol, diesel isn’t regulated in this country as diesel50ppm is slightly more expensive than diesel 500ppm, becauseof the more complex desulphurisation process.Nearly half of all the drivers questioned could not tell the differencebetween unleaded 93 and 95 octane fuels or diesel 50ppmand 500ppm. They also weren’t sure about what lead replacementpetrol is. Interestingly only 48% of the taxi drivers polled – manyof whom fill up a few times a day – know the difference betweenfuel grades. And less than 10% of all motorists know some of thespecific benefits derived from various fuel grades.The difference between diesel 50ppm and 500ppm is that itis ten times cleaner with only 50 parts per million (ppm) of sulphurcompared to the maximum level of 500ppm allowed by thegovernment. Even though one has to pay slightly more for thecleaner diesel, it saves money in the long run by extending acar’s engine life and service intervals.This higher octane fuel is targeted at mainly high performancevehicles which are designed to run exclusively on higheroctane fuels, such as Volkswagen’s Golf 5 and the BMW M-series. Over 83% agreed that fuel quality is an important componentin determining the overall performance and efficiencyof a vehicle and 55% strongly believe that a particular brand offuel plays an important part. When using high quality performancefuels, it enables vehicles to run more efficiently, enablingimproved combustion quality thus reducing fuel consumptionand lowering emissions. Convenience and location are still themain drivers when it comes to selecting a service station with31% of the votes, followed by type of fuel brand at 21% and qualityof service coming in at third place.2008 Opel Corsa 140 Lite R 64 9502008 Chana Benni 1.3 Lux R 62 9502007 Volvo S40 2.0 D Full House R179 9502007 Nissan Tida 1.6 Visia Sedan A/C R/CD R104 9502006 Ford Bantam 1.3i XL R/CD + Canopy R 64 9502006 Hyundai Terracan 2.9 CRD Auto A/C R179 9502005 Mazda 3 1.6 Active Sedan A/C R/CD R104 9502004 Ford Focus 1.8 TDCI Hatch A/C R/CD R 82 950
