It’s back to school
Excited little faces as pupils start new chapter
Madeleine Chaput,
Sivenathi Gosa and
Zolile Zamisa
SCHOOLS around
East London
officially started
y e st e r d ay,
welcoming many new
and old faces for an
exciting and
educational year ahead.
As the Grade 1 class
for 2018 took their first
steps into “big school”,
parents, principals,
teachers and school
staff members
prepared for the many
happy memories,
challenges and
achievements ahead.
“We have about 90
new Grade 1 students
this year. I’m very
positive about the year
ahead – there will be
challenges, but I know
that my staff members
will overcome them
successfully as they
have every year,”
Beaconhurst School
principal Aubrey
Norman said.
Anticipation filled the
air at the school gates
as the Grade 1s showed
off their smart uniforms
and 'big school'
backpacks before
entering their first
formal chapter of
primary school.
Some grinned from
ear to ear with
excitement, while
others were more
hesitant, yet each had
something to say about

the start of their new
adventure.
“It's my first day of
Grade 1 today. I am
excited! I like learning
about letters, like
A,B,C,D. That's my
fav o u r i t e , ” said Ryan
Fr e i t a g .
“I’m so excited! I’m a
little bit scared too,”
said little Mosa
M o n d l i wa .
“They grow up too
fast. It's crazy that our
little one is already in
Grade 1,” dad, Lindele
Mondliwa, said.
Despite being a fairly
small school,
Beaconhurst has just
over 1000 students
across the primary and
high schools.
Inundated with late
registrations this year
as well as overflowing
applications, Norman
said there was a lack of
schools within the city
cent re.
“We are faced with so
many parents who just
want the best for their
children, but we cannot
possibly accommodate
them all. More schools
are definitely needed in
the city centre.”
Mdantsane’s
Londolozani Junior
Primary School was
filled with anxious and
excited children, some
who were beginning
their school careers.
While some Grade Rs
clung to their mothers,
others seemed excited
about the new chapter
in their lives.
Principal Mandisa
Filita said she was
excited about starting a
new year with fresh
faces and that she was
willing to work well
with the teachers,
pupils and parents.
“My vision for this
year is for the parents
to work hand in hand
with us as we are
always faced with the
same challenges
annually of parents
enrolling their children
on the day of the
opening of school,
which causes a delay,”
said Filita.
Government officials
should assist the
school, as there were
pupils without birth
certificates which
would hold up the
registration process.
“The community
should work with us by
guarding the school
after hours as there
have been break-ins.”
She said the school
wanted to produce the
best pupils in
Mdantsane this year.

Nana and Lunje Maneli
were excited and said
they were looking
forward to learning
about colours and
let ters.
“I want to be a
teacher when I grow
up,” Ayola said.
The queue of
enrolment was long.
The school enrolled
249 pupils on
Wednesday, with more
parents trying to enrol
their children.
At King’s College,
parents arrived to drop
off their children from
as early as 6.45am.
Teacher Fortunate
Pindurah said dealing
with kids was not an
easy task. “I have 11
years of teaching
experience but it’s
always a challenging
situation to deal with
new children, but in the
process you also grow.”
Principal Dora Nell
says they were set for
the year.
“Our stationery and
textbooks are already
in class. We have done
the orientation and are
now ready to begin
with lessons.”

WE ARE FAMILY: From left, Daisy, Luna and Sarge. All three were brought to Pet Pals when their family
decided to emigrate and could not find homes for them
Picture: MADELEINE CHAPUT
A furry family in
need of a home
MADELEINE CHAPUT
AN UNUSUAL trio has created a special bond
which proves that family is as real in the animal
world as it is in the human sphere.
Daisy, Luna and Sarge arrived at Pet Pals in
East London over six months ago, when their
family decided to emigrate and was unable to
find suitable homes for them.
The golden Yorkie/terrier- cross, mixed breed
hound and tabby cat have been living at Pet Pals
ever since, enjoying all that the local animal
sanctuary has to offer their little family.
“Soon after the three arrived, someone fell in
love with Daisy, offering a new home and family
for her, and to be honest I was worried about the
separation anxiety,” said East London Pet Pals
founder Sue Kriel.
“Daisy managed to escape the first night at
her new home. We still don’t know how she did
it, because that home was like Fort Knox.”
Daisy was found roaming the streets two days
later and returned to her adoptive family, but
soon taken back to Pet Pals. “She went
absolutely mad when she saw her big sister,
Luna.”
Daisy and Luna are inseparable, spending all
their time together at the sanctuary while their
feline brother, Sarge, is less bothered by family
ties unless food is involved. Both dogs allow
Sarge to eat out of their bowls on a daily basis
and live with more than six other cats in their
turquoise house at the sanctuary.
“Luna is a gentle giant. She is a big softy and
is not aggressive or over-protective when it

Warm bond
between trio
comes to Daisy. Luna just loves her to bits,” said
Kriel. “Daisy is only three years old and has lots
of energy. She has the sweetest nature. They’re
both lovely animals.”
Daisy’s escape artist skills make breaking out
of the Pet Pals enclosure look like child’s play,
but she has never tried.
“They’re both happy here and I don’t have the
heart to separate them. Luna suffered in the
short time Daisy was gone and Daisy wanted to
be back here. I hope to find them a home
together soon.”
If anyone would like to give these two furry
sisters a loving home or assist Pet Pals, contact
Sue Kriel on 082-850-8935.

Chintsa girl on scholarship to DSG
MADELEINE CHAPUT
FORMER African Angels
Independent School Grade 7
pupil Indiphile Velebayi made
the two-hour journey to
Grahamstown this week, where
she will be attending Grade 8 at
the Diocesan School for Girls
(DSG) on a full boarding
bursar y.
Indiphile, 13, was one of
African Angels' top students,
receiving the top marks for
mathematics over the past
three years.
“Mathematics is my
favourite subject, because I
like numbers and I can
understand them easily. I do
not really like history, because
of all the dates you have to
remember, but it's not hard,” a
confident Indiphile said.
Along with meeting various
academic requirements,
Indiphile was also required to
take part in a team-building
day at DSG as part of the
school's sponsorship
programme.
“Indie did very well in the
screening tests for the Schools
Scholarship Programme, but
she is also an excellent team
member and natural leader,”
African Angels founder Lou
Billet said.
Situated in Chintsa, African
Angels Independent School
was first opened in 2012 and
caters for children from
disadvantaged backgrounds
living in the area.
The school started out with
two classes, Grade R and a
combined Grade 1 and 2 class,
but continuously grew to
accommodate pupils up to
Grade 7.
In her final year at the
school, Indiphile once again
impressed the teachers as she
was the top Grade 7 academic
achiever for 2017.
“She is a very resilient
young woman with great
academic potential,” a proud
Billet said.
Yesterday Indiphile, who
would like to become a
surgeon one day, officially
started high school at DSG
and is looking forward to what
her new school has to offer.
“I am excited but a bit
nervous. I am mostly excited
though. I’m looking forward to
experiencing new things,
meeting new people and
getting the best education,”
Indiphile said.
GOOD LUCK! Indiphile Velebayi, 13, was African Angels
Independent School's top Grade 7 pupil and received a
full boarding bursary to the Diocesan School for Girls

Zincume, who completed her
schooling in Duncan Village, was
born in Mthatha.
“I entered Miss Ribbons Four
Roses in October 2016 in Cape

Miss MWI Southern African
Queen 2018,” she said.
Zincume obtained her diploma
in radiography from the Cape
Peninsula University of
Technology (CPUT), majoring in
ZINTLE ZINCUME
Diagnostics. “I did community
service at Frere Hospital and
completed a Peer Educator
Course through the New Hope
Fellowship Church.
“I then became a peer
educator at the HIV/Aids centre
CPUT,” Zincume said.
“My passion for working with
the community grew when I
became a peer educator.”
Magnificent Women Icon is an
international pageant managed
locally by non-profit organisation
founder, Ampie Fourie. It is
independently owned and
operated by Michigan Pageants.
Delegates from South Africa
are set to compete in Mumbai,
India, late in February.
Zincume also coordinated a
school pageant at her former
school, to help motivate pupils
to reach their full potential.

READY TO RIDE: Chairman of Buffalo City Riders Antonio Prince, left, with his team
Buffalo City Riders are
helping to change lives
By Zolile Zamisa
THE Buffalo City Riders (BCR)
of East London are more than
just a group of motorcycle
enthusiasts – they are a group
of men passionate about
making a difference by
donating to the poor.
The Riders is a
charity-based organisation
which exhibits its range of
motorbikes and scooters at
outdoor events. Members are
hard at work on various
projects to help change the
lives of the poor.
The club was invited to the
ANC 106 celebrations at the
weekend with the donation
from the event to be used to
fund their current project of
collecting Easter eggs set to
be donated to orphanages in
the city. “Last year we
collected 22000 eggs and this
year we are planning to break
that record,” club chairman
Antonio Prince said.
BCR was established at the
end of 2015 by the then
president, Aston Wertheim,
and deputy Sanjay Bechoo.
The club boasts a
membership of 20 and is
hoping that more people will
Picture: ZOLILE ZAMISA
join. Sanitary towels to help
schoolgirls in and around the
East London area are also
being collected.
“We do not charge anyone
in need of our service. We only
request donations for what we
need at a particular time,”
Prince said.

BCM needs to
‘clean up’ act
By Zolile Zamisa
THE filthy state of the Buffalo City
Metro has raised the ire of the DA.
In a statement this week, the
Buffalo City Metro (BCM) DA
caucus raised concerns over the
level of pollution and littering in the
cit y’s CBD and residential areas.
DA caucus man in BCM, Va u g h a n
Holmes said: “The unbearable litter
and filth in the Buffalo City Metro is
a legacy of ongoing ANC
mismanagement and looting.
“Duncan Village is overflowing
with garbage and over Christmas
the King William’s Town CBD looked
more like a combat zone than an
economic hub of the metro.”
Holmes said the filthy conditions
had led to a plague of rats in
Vincent and Duncan Village and
posed a serious risk to public
health.
“The DA calls on the ANC-led
municipality to urgently enforce the
existing bylaws properly by
supplying enough bins for public
access and to clamp down on
littering and illegal rubbish dumps,”
Homes said.
The GO team visited East
London’s Ebuhlanti taxi rank in the
cit y’s CDB this week and found an
illegal dumping site and a dirty rank
site which, according to taxi drivers,
is not cleaned by the municipality.
Taxi committee member Zalisile
Lipheyi said: “We struggle every day
with this dirty place. We can’t even
sit here and eat our food.”
The drivers said they had since
resorted to cleaning the site but
had reported their concerns to the
municipality. No response had yet
been received.
BCM had not responded to
queries at the time of going to print.

Urgent need for pet
adoptions, donations
THE King William’s Town
SPCA kennels and
cattery are full of
animals in desperate
need of adoption.
Annette Rademeyer
of the SPCA said this
week that the animal
welfare body would also
be facing various
challenges during the
y e a r.
These include the
urgent need to maintain
and renovate the
kennels and cattery,
which were looking
rather shabby.
The SPCA is also in
dire need of a vehicle
and an inspector needs
to be employed.
The latter is quite a
challenge as such a
person must be
qualified and adhere to
stringent requirements
for the position.
The SPCA would also
need, as it did every
year, for the community
to donate dog and cat
food, fodder for farm
animals, as well as
petrol and blankets for
the animals.
“The kennels need to
be painted and
d a m p - p r o ofe d , ”
Rademeyer said.
Although a pressing
need, the revamping of
the kennels and cattery
could unfortunately not
be done in 2017 due to
a lack of funds.
Volunteers over the
age of 16 wanting to
help out at the SCPA in
King would be
welcomed as would
companies or
businesses wanting to
help renovate the
ke n n e l s .
Anyone interested in
helping the King
William’s Town SPCA to
ensure the wellbeing of
animals in the area
during the year can
contact the SPCA on
043- 643-6008.

Ve r m a a k ' s

sandy

almost six
months after
BCM promised
to re-pave it

No end to couple’s
driveway nightmare
MADELEINE CHAPUT
MORNINGSIDE residents
Charmaine and Fredrick Vermaak
have been battling it out with the
Buffalo City Municipality (BCM)
over a driveway hitch since
August last year.
Faced with a flooded driveway
at their Tewksbury Road home,
caused by a leaking pipe, the
Vermaaks reached out to BCM
asking for something to be done.
“The pipe was leaking for a
good few weeks before I was
able to get them to come and
replace it. I phoned continuously
and eventually they did
something about it,” Charmaine
said.
After digging up the
Ve r m a a k s ’ driveway and
replacing the leaking pipe, BCM
promised to fix up and re-pave
the driveway within three to six
weeks, according to Charmaine.
“Again, I have been phoning
continuously and our driveway is
still one big mess. When it rains
it is even worse. It took a long
time to get the leak fixed, but
this is ridiculous, we have been
waiting since August last year. ”
The three to six week interval
Complaints go unheard
was to be used by BCM to check
that the pipe was secure and
ensure no more leaks could be
expected.
However, almost six months
have passed and the Vermaak's
driveway is still sporting an
uneven heap of sabunga in its
cent re.
“I have been phoning the
municipality for months. I even
tried phoning at five minute
intervals for an entire day, but
I’m either put on hold or cut off,”
Charmaine said.
“When I eventually got
through to someone at the
municipality I was told that they
were extremely busy and I
should just keep phoning and
eventually someone would deal
with my complaint.”
Producing a cloud of dust
every time it is used, the
Vermaak's uneven and sandy
driveway is the primary entrance
to their home and they fear it
might cause some bad falls.
“An 84-year-old lady from
church came to visit us a few
weeks ago. She knew about the
driveway and she even had her
walking stick, but she slipped
and if I had not been behind her
she would have been hurt
b a d l y, ” Charmaine said.
While complaining to BCM
would not be the Vermaak's
ideal option, Charmaine's
husband, Fredrick recently had a
heart attack and is unable to
pave the driveway himself.
“If I could, I would just do it
myself and get it out of the way.
We would not have to wait so
long,” Fredrick said.
“We are ratepayers. We do not
make the municipality wait for
their money so why should we
have to wait so long for a service
to which we have a right?”
Charmaine said.
The Go! contacted BCM l a st
week and this week with no
response received at the time of
going to press.

A school for
rising stars
SIVENATHI GOSA
MDANTSANE-based Lulutho Grooming School is
trying to help young people reach for the stars.
The school was started in 2009 with 900 girls
accommodated at the arts centre.
Founder Yolanda Pietersen said the purpose was
to produce role models and to create opportunities
for young people to become involved in
community development projects.
Since its inception, the school has opened
branches in Mthatha, Kwelera and in Cape Town,
and caters for young people from the ages of nine
to 22.
Pietersen, who is an architect and a director of
Baseline Civil Contractors in Cape Town, said:
“God used me to create Lulutho in order to help
children from the rural and urban areas by
providing an aftercare facility. They are able to
explore their talents and art. Activities include
drama, dance, poetry, modelling, public speaking
and debating.
“We host a five-day empowerment workshop at
Byletts High School twice a year during the
holidays with 800 young people from all our
branches and the workshop is free.”
The initiative’s main funders are the National
Lottery Commission, Enroute Traders, Baseline
Civil Contractors and Byletts. For information, like

DUNCAN Village duo,
Zizipho Njadu, 26, a Walter
Sisulu University Human
Resources Management
student and Live Sani, 35,
who is part of the South
African Youth Council in
Bhisho, are paying it
fo r wa r d .
The two started a youth
programme, the Back to
School Campaign, which
collects school uniforms
for pupils in need – from
shirts to tunics, jerseys,
socks and shoes.
Njadu said he and Sani
decided on the initiative
after a visit by officials
from the department of
sport, recreation, arts and
culture to Duncan Village
to donate essentials to
pupils who were from
d i s a d va n t a g e d
backgrounds.
“Unfortunately they did
not bring enough for
everyone and that is
where we saw it fitting to
come up with this plan,”
Njadu said.
They hope the initiative
will encourage pupils to
stay in school because
some dropped out as they
could not afford the
essentials, Njadu said.
The campaign has seen
local businesses and
community members
donating school clothing
and shoes.
“So far, we will be
donating to four schools
in Duncan Village:
Mzokhanyo High School,
Inyathi Primary School,
Ebenezer High School and
Nontuthuzelo Primary
School.
“We are going to
expand in the near future
and donate to more
schools,” Njadu said.

Plans bloom for Kwelera
ADMINISTRATION and visitor
facilities are in the planning for
the Kwelera National Botanical
Garden on the Wild Coast.
The garden was the topic of
the monthly talk hosted by the
Friends of the East London
Museum and the Border
Historical Society on Tuesday,
presented by the curator,
Lee-Anne Kessler, at the MCL
Hall at the East London Museum.
The establishment of the
Kwelera National Botanical
Garden has brought to 10 the
number of South Africa’s
national botanical gardens
managed by the South African
National Biodiversity Institute
(Sanbi).
Kwelera, which was declared
on July 25, 2014, is an important
biodiversity corridor in the region
which comprises 160ha of
coastal dune forest, natural
vegetation, marine frontage and
coastal grasslands.
Sanbi is planning to develop
administration and visitor
facilities for the new garden on
an adjacent portion of land.
The Kwelera Nature Reserve,
which is managed by the Eastern
Cape Parks and Tourism Agency
(ECPTA) as a protected area, has
been identified as the anchor
site for the new garden.
In terms of a signed
memorandum of agreement the
reserve will remain under ECPTA
but will be co-managed with the
Sanbi as the natural portion of
the proposed Kwelera Garden.
Kwelera, derived from an old
Khoi word “goerecha”, meaning
“many aloes”, is the first national
botanical garden to be
established in the Eastern Cape
and marks a major achievement
in reaching the country’s
conservation targets, ensuring
ecological sustainability.

Bridal Fair inspires creativity
MADELEINE CHAPUT
IN MEMORY: One of the artworks of renowned Eastern Cape artist Paul
Schmidt, who died recently
East Cape artist leaves
proud legacy of work
THE city of East London has bid
farewell to renowned Eastern Cape
artist Paul Schmidt.
Schmidt died on December 26 last
year and a memorial service was
held at the Fairlands Chapel in
Cambridge last Friday.
Born in Fort Beaufort in 1955, his
love for art developed at a young age
and he continued painting after
matriculating from Belgravia Art
School in East London.
Paul did technical/mechanical
animation for the SAA’s film and
video unit. After working as a graphic
designer in Johannesburg, he went
on to become a full-time artist.
His early exhibitions included
various galleries in Johannesburg,
Cape Town, East London, Florida
(Khan Gallery) and Fort Lauderdale,
and a successful solo exhibition in
the Sands Hotel, Vancouver, Canada.
The Gallery Africa in CT and CVD
Gallery in East London are two
galleries selling his work.
His exhibitions for 2013 included
The Eye Centre (EL), Ann Bryant Art
Gallery Coach House and Absa Vuka
Exhibition in the East London
Harbour Customs building. Some of
his works are on display at the VIC
Centre and Jikeleza Properties in the
Jikeleza Village Centre.
Pa u l ’s talents were recognised by
the South African Institute of Artists
and Designers in their publication of
The Collector’s Guide to Art and
Artists in South Africa – a visual
journey into the thoughts, emotions
and minds of artists.
Paul worked for the Daily Dispatch
in East London as their cartoonist. He
illustrated various children’s books,
psychology books and a legal
autobiography for the late Judge
Colin White. His paintings hang on
the walls of Saudi Arabian palaces
and in the boardroom of
Mercedes-Benz in East London.
FOR all blushing brides to be, the Bridal
Fair taking place on Saturday at the East
London Golf Club (ELGC) is the perfect
place to inspire creativity for your big day.
Aimed at brides who are looking to
plan their wedding but have no idea
where to begin, the Bridal Fair will be
packed with stall holders showcasing
dresses, décor, stationery as well as
photographers and much more.
This one-stop bridal shop has taken
place annually since 2015 and has
steadily and continuously grown,
accommodating 59 stall holders and
650 visitors last year.
“Every year is different from the last in
order to keep up with the latest trends,
so we have a couple of first-time stall
holders who are really excited to market
their goodies, as well as new-style
dresses for our fashion show,” E LG C ' s
Bridal Fair marketing coordinator Kerri
Bayman said.
The Bridal Fair opens its doors at
10am on Saturday. Brides are welcome
to walk through and admire the work of
various industry vendors until doors
close at 4pm.
Two fashion shows, taking place at
11am and 2pm in the glass tent, will
showcase various outfits including
wedding dresses, suits,
mother-of-the-bride outfits and flower
girl outfits.
Every year, the ELGC donates a portion
of the proceeds from the Bridal Fair to a
charity of its choice.This year local
charity Helping Those in Need will be
benefiting from this
“We picked Helping Those in Need
because we really admire the work that
they are doing to provide various types
of support. They hold soup kitchens,
collect old clothes, help people in need
Fundraising night of music to build church
THE youth of the Seventh Day Adventist
Church have embarked on a mission to
construct a church building.
As part of their fundraising efforts,
they will be hosting A Night in Music
BRIDAL BEAUTY: The Bridal Fair promises to be a fun-filled day for all those

Bayman said.
Entrance to the fair is R25 per person

Teaching pupils to dance with joy
“WE dance and teach to
inspire the next
generation. To teach
them to love through
dance, to dance with
their hearts and to
dance with joy”!
This is the motto of
local Just Dance Studio
owner and professional
choreographer Charene
Harris.
She has worked and
danced abroad over
many years and has
choreographed and
produced numerous
theatre productions in
South Africa.
Charene is proud of
her pupils after 12 years
of owning and running
her dance studio in
Gonubie and other
locations at schools
across East London.
The studio caters for
all, from ages three to
adult, with children
from 3-5 years starting
with a Dinky Dancer
class, which is an
interactive programme
to instill a love for
dance while developing
co-ordination, muscle
strength and
concent ration.
From six years and
up, the art of modern,
tap and hip-hop dance
is offered.
In 2016, Just Dance
Studio celebrated 10
years by presenting the
successful studio
production Fineas &
Ferb – The Best Dance
Show Ever at the Guild
Theat re.
Last year was a year
of growth with Charene
taking on two assistant
dance teachers, Kristin
Kirtley and Kim Hubbard.
Kris teaches hip-hop in
Gonubie at two locations
and Kim assists in the
Lilyfontein and East
Coast Resorts areas.
There are exciting
plans for 2018 with Just
Dance Studio making

ON THEIR WAY: Participants in the Ironman 70.3 South Africa race last
year head for the finish line
Picture: CRAIG MULLER
Countdown
to Ironman
70.3 in EL
WITH Buffalo City only
days away from the
Standard Bank Ironman
70.3 South Africa race,
excitement is mounting.
The event, set to
take place in the city
on Sunday January 28,
provides 100 coveted
slots to the World
Championship.
The race promises
once again to be one
of the most anticipated
events of the year with
thousands of
spectators expected to
be part of the
festivities, cheering the
athletes on along the
kilometres of
beachfront in a city
with a rich cultural
history for athletes and
tourists to enjoy.
This event marks the
perfect curtain raiser
for athletes and
spectators to get
stirred up for the
Ironman 70.3 World
Championship in
Nelson Mandela Bay.
Due to popular
demand, this year
marks the exciting
return of teams to the
Buffalo City event,
allowing athletes to
experience the
excitement of racing an
Ironman 70.3 with their
friends and family as
one unit.
Big names are
taking part – af ter
dominating the
off-road triathlon scene
and grabbing the 2017
bragging rights for
Xterrra, Bradley Weiss
will be fancying his
chances of taking the
Standard Bank
Ironman 70.3 South
Africa title under his
name.
But it will not be
easy with pros like
Evert Scheltinga, Kyle
Buckingham and last
year’s winner Romain
Guillame, who are
among just a few top
triathletes looking for
that top podium finish.
The women’s field
also has some
excitement of its own.
With seven-time
champion Jodie
Cunnama out of the
race after giving birth
to her baby boy, the
attention will turn to
other iron-willed top
female pros including
Susie Cheetham, who
is the favourite to win,
and Annah Watkinson,
a firm South African
fav o u r i t e .
Do not forget Emma
Pallant, who is a top
c o n t e n d e r.
It will be a tight
finish. – Go! reporter
