Triplets and twins 'confuse' teachers at King Williams Town Primary
HAPPY PUPILS: The five sets of twins and a set of triplets pose for a picture
at King Williams Town Primary
KING Williams Town primary
has this year enrolled a
'unique' set of pupils... 5 sets
of twins and a set of triplets.
The 13 pupils are spread into
different grades … 2 sets of
twins are in Grade R along
with the triplets, while the other
twins are in Grades 2 and
3.
It is the first time in the
schools' history that the
school has admitted so many
twins and a set of triplets.
School Secretary / Bursar,
D
Wendy Lentz said:' It is a
challenge to the teachers to
distinguish between the
twins and triplets'.
And to add to their confusion
'some of them in Grade R
wear identical outfits on occasion.
“But I suppose in time they
the teachers will get to spot
the difference between them,'
said Wendy.

Triplets and twins 'confuse' teachers
at King Williams Town Primary
Continued on Pg. 02...
The triplets are: Khazimla,
Sambesiwe and Yenzokuhle
Mdudo, and the twins are
Hlumela and Phumela Dimba;
Luhle and Lunje Makehle;
Nathi and Siwaphiwe Mbilase,
Bunje and Lunje Nzima; and
Sanele and Kungawo Bistoli.
When asked how they felt
about all been at the same
school, most agreed that it
'was great and we love it here'.
'The teachers are very nice to
us and we dress alike to confuse
them,' said one of the
triplets, adding that 'if we are
naughty they (the teachers)
get confused and cannot
pick the naughty one out!!!'
Wendy concluded:” It's double
and triple trouble for the
teachers but we are proud to
have them at King Williams
Town Primary and so far they
are a lovable bunch and fit in
well with all the other pupils.

FRIDAY 20 JANUARY 2017 THE BUGLE 3
St Thomas Private school introduces new uniforms
THE dictum: ‘The old order
changeth, yielding place to
new’- is nowhere more
appropriate than in the
decision to introduce a
change of uniform for St
Thomas Private School.
After 15 years with the old
uniform, the school decided
to introduce a new uniform, in
tandem with the ever
changing world.
A consultative process
engaging all the relevant
stakeholders in the designing
of the new uniform paid
dividends, with the idea,
originally mooted in 2013,
finally coming to fruition at the
end of 2016, with the school
NEW LOOK: St Thomas Private School learners in the new uniform the
school had adopted and will phase in over a few years
succeeding in inaugurating a
new uniform for
implementation beginning
January 2017.
To obviate any financial
difficulties for parents and
guardians, uniforms will be
phased-in until 2019.
The core colours: black, grey
and orange were retained.
The new uniforms for both
boys and girls are as shown
in the pictures below.
Calling in Sick
Negotiations between union members
and their employer were at an
impasse. The union denied that their
workers were flagrantly abusing their
contract's sick-leave provisions.
One morning at the bargaining table,
the company's chief negotiator held
aloft the morning edition of the
newspaper, "This man," he
announced, "called in sick yesterday!"
There on the sports page, was a photo
of the supposedly ill employee, who
had just won a local golf tournament
with an excellent score.
The silence in the room was broken by
a union negotiator. "Wow," he said.
"Just think of what kind of score he
could have had if he hadn't been sick!"
The Amazing Golf Ball
Two friends went out to play golf and
were about to tee off, when one fellow
noticed that his partner had but one
golf ball.
"Don't you have at least one other golf
ball?", he asked. The other guy
replied that no, he only needed the one.
"Are you sure?", the friend persisted.
"What happens if you lose that ball?"
The other guy replied, "This is a very
special golf ball. I won't lose it so I
don't need another one."
Well," the friend asked, "what happens
if you miss your shot and the ball goes
in the lake?"
"That's okay," he replied, "this special
golf ball floats. I'll be able to retrieve it."
"Well what happens if you hit it into the
trees and it gets lost among the
bushes and shrubs?"
The other guy replied, "That's okay too.
You see, this special golf ball has a
homing beacon. I'll be able to get it
back -- no problem."
Exasperated, the friend asks, "Okay.
Let's say our game goes late, the sun
goes down, and you hit your ball into a
sand trap. What are you going to do
then?"
"No problem," says the other guy, "you
see, this ball is florescent. I'll be able
to see it in the dark."
Finally satisfied that he needs only the
one golf ball, the friend asks, "Hey,
where did you get a golf ball like that
anyway?"
The other guy replies, "I found it."
Stupid Soccer Commentary
Actual Remarks Made by Soccer
Commentators
1. Well, it's Liverpool two, Ipswich nil,
and if the score stays this way, I've got
to fancy Liverpool for the win.
2. He had an eternity to play that ball,
but took too long.
3. And so they have not been able to
improve on their 100% record.
4. With the last kick of the game, he
scored with a header.
5. Well, it's a fabulous kaleidoscope
of colour: almost all the Brazilians are
wearing yellow shirts.
6. If that had gone on, it would
definitely have been a goal.
7. Their manager, Howard Wilkinson,
isn't here today, which strongly
suggests that he may be elsewhere.
8. I am a firm believer that if one team
scores a goal, the other need to
score two to win.
9. If a team scores early on, it often
takes an early lead.
10. You cannot possibly have
counted the number of passes made,
but there were eight.

FRIDAY 20 JANUARY 2017 THE BUGLE 5
Pedro de Abreu marks 20
years service at King Lions
TWENTY years of membership in an
organisation is a sure sign of loyalty,
commitment and dedication and,
when that organisation is a service
club like the King William’s Town
Lions Club it shows a deep care and
concern for the community and a
desire to serve others.
Local businessman Lion Pedro de
Abreu and his wife, Lady Lion Diane,
oficially jioned the King Lions in 1996,
was recognised recently by Lions
Clubs International and his home club,
King William’s Town, for twenty years’
membership, making him currently
the third longest serving member of
the Club.
Although his long business hours
makes it difficult for Lion Pedro to be
at all of the meetings and projects
that he would love to attend, he and
Lions Lady Diane have been hard
workers and staunch supporters,
personally and through their business,
of the KWT Lions Club and its
activities, even from before accepting
membership of the Organisation.
Pedro’s father and son are also past
members of the Club and they, too,
still have service of the community at
heart.
Lions and other service club
members are volunteers. They give
freely of their time, their skills and
their means to improve the lives of
those less fortunate in the community.
It costs Lions financially to belong to
an international organisation but they
consider the cost to be little
compared to the satisfaction of
serving others, whether they be the
elderly, the young, the hungry and
homeless, those visually or hearing
impaired, the environment, animal
CLUB SERVICE: King Lion Pedro de Abreu
receives a 20-year cerificate from Loins
president Ulrich Hagens
welfare organisations or any of the
many areas in which they are involved.
“The continued membership and
service of community-based and
community-interested people like
Lion Pedro and Lions Lady Diane de
Abreu is what makes the KWT Lions
Club part of such a fine organisation,”
Lion President Ulrich Hagens
commented, “and we sincerely
congratulate them.” Lady Lion Diane
concluded by saying;” It has been like
a 'family affair' with lots of fun but at
the same the pleasure of helping the
needy.'

6 THE BUGLE FRIDAY 20 JANUARY 2017
ON reading one of the
Letters to the Editor in the
latest Bugle, Friday 13 January
2017, namely, “The rainbow
nation beacons in the
lightning incident at my
house”, I was initially warmed
by the story.
Halfway through the letter
though, the writer, Mr Dimbaza,
drowned that feeling out
in one foul swoop. Please
note that Mr Dimbaza, in his
letter, classifies the people
helping him into different race
groups.
I quote Mr Dimbaza. “I cannot
apologise for expressing my
anger at how the previous
regime treated me and my
people, just like the current
white generation refuses to
take the blame for the actions
of their fathers”, unquote.
Seriously Dude, seriously?
You are fully justified in the
first part of your sentence, but
the children, really?
And just why should they take
- here to serve!

the blame? They were
probably not even born yet
when you suffered the injustices
of the previous regime.
If I do any harm to my fellow
man, it is I who should
rightfully take the blame. Why
would I take the cowardly
route of placing my children
in front of me and expect
them to take the blame for
my actions?
Children of whatever generation,
race, or creed are
certainly not and will never
be responsible for the actions
of their fathers, nor should
they ever be held accountable
and be expected to
apologise for them.
While Mr Dimbaza takes
pleasure in seeing the rainbow
nation at work (his
words) and I am sure that he
thanked them all for coming
to his aid, he at the same time,
stabs a certain race group of
them painfully in the back
with his spear of grudge for
the actions of their fathers.
You, Sir, certainly did not treat
those people as equals as
you so rightfully claim we
should.
The word Ubuntu can easily
be translated into English or
Afrikaans. In English, it is
“benevolence” and even more
beautifully, in Afrikaans it is
“liefdaadigheid, meaning
“deeds of love”.
Ubuntu appears in many,
many forms and those who
are still blinded by the past,
will struggle to see it even
when it is standing right in
front of them and staring
them in the face.

Tips for borrowing wisely:
• Borrow as little money as possible. Borrowing to fund your
children’s education or a home loan can be a good thing, but
borrowing for consumables or to pay off other debt or to fund
luxuries such as holidays or designer clothing can condemn you
to a lifetime of debt. Only borrow for what you really need.
• Avoid paying over too many months as it will cost you more in
the end.
• If there is credit insurance, familiarise yourself with the terms of
the insurance to avoid surprises when you most need the
insurance.
• Be honest - Make sure that you honestly disclose all the
information required by the credit provider. Dishonesty may
cause you to lose the protection offered by the National Credit
Act.
• Create a monthly budget and stick to it - work out how much
income your family earns and what your total expenses are each
month. Will you be able to pay for your new debt once you’ve
covered all your expenses? You should also plan for unexpected
costs such as if one of your family members is retrenched.
• Always keep receipts of your payments as you might need
these in the future.
• Always include savings in your budget.
• Pay your debts on time. Paying late will adversely affect your
credit report and possibly your ability to take out credit in the
future. If you think you cannot meet your monthly instalments,
call your credit provider immediately and try to re-arrange
payments. Do not wait until you skip payments.
• Check your credit report regularly. This way you’ll be able to
identify any errors and correct them. Under the NCA, you are
entitled to one free copy of your credit report each year at any
other time, upon payment of the inspection fee of the credit
bureau if any.

FRIDAY 20 JANUARY 2017 THE BUGLE 7
New Education officer appionted at Amathole Museum
FOLLOWING the successive
departure of two museum
educators who took up
promotion posts in 2016, the
Provincial Department of
Sport Recreation Arts and
Culture has appointed Mr.
Gcina Vani as an education
officer at the museum.
He assumed duty on 3rd
January 2017.
Gcina was born in Ginsberg
in the early 1980. He counts
himself as blessed with a
beautiful wife and two brilliant
boys.
He did his primary school
education at the Seventh
Day Adventist primary school
in Ginsberg then moved to
Charles Morgan senior
primary school, before
completing his secondary
school learning at Forbes
Grant S.S.S in Ginsberg.
He has previously worked at
the East London museum in
2006 as an Auxiliary Services
Officer, from there he moved
to the Head Office of the
Department
Sport
Recreation Arts and Culture
in King William’s Town where
he was stationed in the
libraries and archives section.
During the period he
obtained a Diploma in
Information Technology with
MSC College. He went on to
enrol for and complete a post
graduate diploma in archives
and record management with
the University of Fort Hare.
He is currently registered for
public management training.
Amathole Museum provides
to school learners across all
curriculum phases
◄◄◄ WELCOME:
Amathole Museum
director Fred Kigozi
welcomes Gcina Vani
as an Education
officer at the museum.
Gcani took up his post
on January 3
educational lessons which
are based on its exhibitions
and in line with the learning
areas, and tailored to
compliment the school
lessons.
This is done in consultation
with the school educators.
The museum also provides
outreach educational
programmes and lessons to
those far flung schools who
would find it difficult to bring
learners to the museum.
Outreach programmes are
better preferred if schools
within a cluster get together
so that the benefit accrues to
several rather than a single
school.
Bookings with the museum
are essential for these
educational offerings.
However, schools are also
very welcome to bring
learners to visit and navigate
on their own through the
several exhibitions at the
museum without any
advance booking.
Amathole museum director
Fred Kigozi says that as part
of its offerings the museum
school also provides special
programmes which are
characterised with learning
and fun, and these include
the school holiday
programme which is normally
conducted for one week after
schools close for holidays.
Feedback from parents of
participating learners, as well
as the learners themselves
has always been very
encouraging.
The museum on certain
occasions partners with
specialist groups and
organisations when offering
this programme and by so
doing is able to impart and
polish on the learners artistic
skills.
'A night at the museum', is
another special programme
which is offered to both
adults and the young.
A themed educational tour of
the galleries is provided
during the late evening and
night hours.
Kigozi goes on to say that
possibly, one of the most
popular and well attended
special programmes for the
museum school is the
quarterly senior citizens
function.
Since January 1990 (27
years ago) Amathole museum
has held “Senior Citizen’s
Tea Parties” once a quarter.
The museum provides
edutainment in the form of a
talk on a topical and relevant
matter, a choir, a fashion
show, or something of the
sort, accompanied by tea,
coffee and eats for elderly
people from local communities
.
What began with three institutions
or centres in 1990, today
stands at about 18
institutions from Breidbach,
King William’s Town, Ginsberg,
Schornville, Zwelitsha,
Dimbaza, Tyutyu village, Mxaxo,
Ngcamngeni, Nonkcampa,
Gobozana and
Mxhalanga villages and others.
The museum, uses its
mini bus and sometimes additional
transport provided by
a local school to transport
some of the elderly citizens
from outlying areas.
This event is greatly appreciated
by the senior citizens.
On average about 75 senior
citizens attend this event
whenever it is hosted.
Schools are welcome to
make bookings for educational
programmes at the museum
during 2017.

THE BULLDOG RESCUE ANGELS NEED YOU!
Bulldog Rescue Angels
(BRA), a charity that
specialises in rescuing and
rehabilitating bulldogs and
associated breeds needs
your assistance. Next month,
the organisation will host its
second Annual Dog Walk, in
hopes to raise much needed
funds for their voluntary work.
Last year, the event drew
many people with their dogs
of all shapes and sizes,
despite the chilling weather.
Lenell Hattingh, one of the
volunteers and co-founders
of BRA said that it’s been just
under a year since the
organisation was established
and to date, they have
rescued, rehabilitated and rehomed
fifteen dogs
already, fourteen of them
where English Bulldogs and
one Staffordshire Bull Terrier.
“With the assistance from our
sponsors, donors and
members of BRA, we have
been able to give many dogs
new leases on life. All the
hard work and long hours
makes everything we do so
rewarding and worthwhile.
Our last Dog Walk was a
The gang getting ready for their walk
resounding success and
even though it was a cold wet
day, we still received
tremendous support. This
time around, we have
selected a warmer day and
we hope that we get even
more supporters and their
dogs sharing in the fun”, she
said.
Jolanda Voster, from BRA
said that bulldogs in
particular are prone to many
health-related issues that
cannot be established during
puppy stages. “We all agree
that bulldog puppies are
among the cutest baby
animals around. People are
taken aback by those
wrinkles and the cute faces
but many do not look beyond
the ‘awe’ factor. Being a
brachycephalic breed,
bulldogs have breathing
issues which can lead to
heatstroke among other
things. The ears as well as
folds found on the nose and
other regions require regular
anti-bacterial cleaning to
prevent yeast infections and
other associated infections.
Furthermore, these breeds
can ring up quite substantial
veterinary bills,” she said.
BRA commits to seeking
justice for bully breeds by
bringing such breeders and
people to book as well as
rehabilitating abused and
neglected dogs and
ultimately seeking new
homes for these animals.
The organisation urges the
public to assist them by
reporting abused bully
breeds to them as well as
sending anonymous tip offs
about puppy-mills and illegal
breeders.
The Bulldog Rescue Angels
Dog Walk will take place at
the Jan Smuts House in
Centurion on Febuary 12,
2017, commencing at 7am till
10am. Entrance is R40 per
person and R10 per dog.
There will be snacks and
refreshments on sale for the
humans at the Tea Garden
and some delicious treat for
the dogs - so bring cash
along with you! There will be
water-points but bring along
bottles of water for you and
your dog.
BRA is also planning their
first ever Golf Day this year
so if you would like to assist
in any way possible you may
contact
BRA
on bulldogrescueangels@gm

LIFE GETS EASIER FOR
BCM PRE-PAYERS
Buffalo City Metro (BCM) residents
will be pleased to
know that they can now purchase
BCM electricity in the
comfort of their own homes
and no longer have to wait in
long queues.
In October, executive mayor
Xola Phakathi revealed his
action plan for the first 100
days in office to senior BCM
managers, politicians and
the media.
One of many things he promised
was that the metro’s
ratepayers will have a prepayment
system to buy prepaid
electricity through the
internet, ATM and cellphones.
The city finally introduced the
new technology to assist its
challenged electricity vendor
system earlier this month.
In the past, BCM ratepayers
have had to endure long
queues and the weather
when wanting to buy electricity
at vendors.
BCM spokesman Sibusiso
Cindi said the system is functioning
and no challenges
have been experienced.
To be able to do this, you
have to register at
www.wireit.co.za and there
are three steps to follow:
●Step 1
Fill out all the mandatory
fields and necessary details.

A Sure Bet
A strong young man at the
construction site was bragging
that he could outdo anyone in a
feat of strength. He made a
special case of making fun of
Morris, one of the older workmen.
After several minutes, Morris had
enough.
"Why don't you put your money
where your mouth is?" he said. "I
will bet a week's wages that I can
haul something in a wheelbarrow
over to that outbuilding that you
won't be able to wheel back."
"You're on, old man," the braggart
replied. "It's a bet! Let's see what
you got."
Morris reached out and grabbed
the wheelbarrow by the handles.
Then, nodding to the young man,
he said, "All right. Get in."
The Sahara
A large, well established,
Canadian lumber camp
advertised that they were looking
for a good Lumberjack. The very
next day, a skinny little man
The meter number must have
11 digits.
The cellphone number
should be valid and active.
The password must be seven
characters long and have
numbers and characters.
The e-mail address must be
valid and active.
●Step 2 – activate service
●Step 3 – login and use the
online service
Cindi said BCM had not yet
detected which option was
most popular.
“We are not sure yet, it will
depend on [our] customers,
and a time will have to pass
for BCM to assess which
functions are most popular,”
he said.
To register using the SMS
option, SMS only your 11-
digit meter number to 36073,
which will cost R5.
You will then receive a response
SMS.
BCM residents on Facebook
are thrilled with the service.
In a post on Crime Spotter,
Basil Clifford wrote:

showed up at the camp with his
axe, and knocked on the head
lumberjacks' door.
The head lumberjack took one
look at the little man and told him
to leave. "Just give me a chance
to show you what I can do," said
the skinny man.
"Okay, see that giant redwood
over there?" said the lumberjack.
"Take your axe and go cut it down."
The skinny man headed for the
tree, and in five minutes he was
back knocking on the
lumberjack's door.
"I cut the tree down," said the man.
The lumberjack couldn't believe
his eyes and said, "Where did you
get the skill to chop down trees
like that?"
"In the Sahara Forest," replied the
puny man.
"You mean the Sahara Desert,"
said the lumberjack.
The little man laughed and
answered back, "Oh sure, that's
what they call it now!"

Protecting Memory: What
can you do?
THERE are an increasing
number of people complaining
that they cannot remember
well. In part, this is due to
just having too much to do
and remember.
This however, is not the only
reason. Lifestyle factors,
which are becoming increasingly
common are also contributing
to poorer brain
function.
Long-term this has a significant
impact on memory and
can even lead to Alzheimer's
dementia. Alzheimer's dementia
and other forms dementia
are typically
characterised by a loss of
memory, the ability to think
and function properly, and a
change in behaviour.
Studies have shown that up
to 50% of dementia is secondary
to modifiable risk factors.
These are factors that
you have control over.
My focus in this 'Protecting
Memory' series of articles is
to improve understanding of
these factors that affect brain
function. What are they?
Road Trip
One afternoon, this guy drives down a
highway to visit a nearby lake and relax. On
his way to the lake, a guy dressed from head
to toe in red standing on the side of the
highway gestures for him to stop.
The guy rolls down the window and says,
"How can I help you?"
"I am the red jerk of the highway. You got
something to eat?"
With a smile on his face, the guy hands a
sandwich to the guy in red and drives away.
Not even five minutes later, he comes across
another guy. This guy is dressed fully in
yellow, standing on the side of the road and
waving for him to stop.
A bit irritated, our guy stops, cranks down the
window, and says, "What can I do for you?"
"I am the yellow jerk of the highway. You got
something to drink?"
Hardly managing to smile this time, he hands
the guy a can of Coke and stomps on the
pedal and takes off again. In order to make it
to the lakeside before sunset, he decides to
go faster and not to stop no matter what.
To his frustration, he sees another guy on the
side of the road, this one dressed in blue and
signaling for him to stop. Reluctantly, our guy
decides to stop one last time. He rolls down
his window, and yells, "Let me guess. You're
the blue jerk of the highway, and just what
the heck do you wanna have?"
"Driver's license and registration, please."

Ford recalls all 1.6-lire Kuga's
BURNOUT: This Ford Kuga caught alight and burned out on the Dimbaza
road close to King Williams Town earlier this month
FORD South Africa is issuing
a safety recall for Kuga
models equipped with the
1.6-litre engine to address an
engine overheating condition
that could cause a fire.
A total of 4,556 vehicles are
affected by this safety recall
in South Africa, and were built
between December, 2012
and February, 2014. Ford
Kuga models with 1.5-litre
and 2.0-litre engines are not
affected.
'We have investigated the
incidents as they have been
reported to us, removing
many parts for detailed examination
in our engineering
facilities in Europe and North
America,' said a statement
from Ford.
'The data collected from the
recent incidents and the
maintenance checks we are
conducting through our dealers
have helped us to determine
the root cause of the
fires.
'While we continue to investigate
the Kuga 1.6 engine
compartment fires, based on
the current data we have
determined that the fires are
due to engine overheating.
'This is caused by a lack of
coolant circulation which can
lead to a cracking in the
cylinder head and, therefore,
an oil leak. If the leaking oil
reaches a hot engine surface,
it can potentially catch fire.
We are not aware of any
injuries resulting from the
engine compartment fires.'
With this safety recall, all
affected vehicles, including
those that have already been
checked, must be taken to a
Ford dealership as soon as
possible. This safety recall
comprises two stages.
The first stage involves replacing
affected components on
the cooling system, verifying
and updating the software
and conducting an oil leak
check on the cylinder head,'
said the statement.
If any Kuga 1.6 owner sees
any indication that the engine
may be overheating or experiences
warnings on the
instrument cluster, they
should pull over as soon as
it is safe to do so, switch off
the engine and ensure all
occupants are safely out of
the vehicle. For safety reasons,
the bonnet must not be
opened.

READY, STEADY, GO
...it's a welcome back to Tanya who has returned
to service us with our favourite
beverages...and, she's up to her normal
inventive/creative self by already organizing
a party with a difference which is scheduled
for early March. The Ritz will be hosting a
“Robot” party (...as opposed to the normal
Valentine party which every other institution in
town seems to follow) which will take on the
following theme : The “traffickee” theme will
have a robot look about it with the normal
three colours being displayed all over The
Ritz pub. However, married couples or those
in serious relationships must come dressed
in red, those who are in “undecided” relationships
must dress in orange/amber and those
who are single and available should dress in
green – picture the scene with that former
sports writer, for the Daily Dispatch, dressed
in green...ever seen a real, live leprechaun ?
Actually, it's just as well that he is married so
he can come looking like Little Red Riding
Hood. Dressing this way will give everyone a
clear “sign” about who is “touchable” and who
is “untouchable”. This should provide a lot of
fun for those who choose to “lie”...especially
if they pitch up in camouflage, except you
wont be able to see them so “feeling” your
way around is definitely a fun option. There is,
of course, the ever present danger of getting
moored especially if you mistakingly “feel”
large okes like Martin, Clinton, Kim, Peck
(...the ladies are excluded from being
“damaged”). Read this space over the next
few weeks for further information regarding
the date, cost, prizes etc.
