War of 

words 

AMANDA NANO 

erupts 

Outsiders hurl insults during 

service delivery feedback 

Thembela Ndlumbini 

Ameeting of over 200 

Zwelitsha residents who 

pitched to hear Ward 41’s 

service delivery report at 

Oliver Reginald Thambo 

Community Hall last Sunday 

erupted into a war of words among 

some residents. 

Former Zwelitsha resident Joe 

Nkopo said 

the community 

had 

initially 

r e q u e st e d 

the report in 

order to 

account for issues affecting service 

delivery in the area. 

The meeting started out 

smoothly with ward councillor 

Sindiswa Skepe welcoming 

attendees and starting to discuss 

the report with the residents. 

However, things soon became 

heated when residents of 

Phakamisa, Breidbach, Tshatshu 

and Sweetwater caused an uproar, 

saying it was their right to attend 

the meeting. 

Skepe was forced to intervene to 

try and keep the peace and eventually 

resorted to calling in law enforce 

ment to help with the situation. 

After a brief but tense stand-off, 

the complainants left peacefully 

but not before swearing and 

insulting Zwelitsha residents. 

Once the meeting was allowed to 

continue, Skepe faced heavy 

criticism from residents over poor 

service delivery and lack of funds. 

“In 2016 and ’17, you didn’t give 

a report and you are supposed to 

give one quarterly. 

“You are 

the one who 

is not 

calling for 

the report,” 

Zwelitsha 

senior 

citizen Velelo Baleni said. 

Other residents accused Skepe 

of spending council money on 

friends and giving jobs to friends 

and relatives. 

“I know you choose your friends 

for tenders and after that, you 

receive envelopes with money and 

drinks,” said resident Buntu 

Dikana. 

Skepe said she had always 

called a quarterly meeting and 

brushed off accusations against 

her as false. “I always call a 

meeting quarterly. People must 

attend the meetings to get full 

information about the development 

of Zwelitsha,” she said. 

I know you choose your friends for 

tenders and after that, you receive 

envelopes with money and drinks

Bikers 

cruise 

in for 

rally 

A sense of belonging, family and 

friendship was evident as scores of 

bikers descended on King William’s 

Town for the fourth annual Road 

Eagles MCC Rally at the Botanical 

Gardens, from April 5 to 7. 

The club, established in 1997, saw a 

weekend of games and bonding, with 

bikers travelling from as far as Cape 

Town, Johannesburg and Durban to 

take part. 

Road Eagles vice president Lisa 

Quluba said the rally was a success, 

although the number of participants 

was down slightly from 2018. 

“Friday was a slow start with the 

rain putting a damper on things a bit, 

also there was another rally taking 

place in East London,” Quluba said. 

Serving free coffee all weekend was 

the Christian Motorcycles Association 

(CMA), which has taken part in the 

rally since its inception. 

“We ’re here to serve the community, 

to create friendship, for the people in 

need and also to give a voice of hope,” 

CMA vice president Brandon van der 

Merwe said. 

Saturday saw lots of activity, starting 

with a mass ride from King through to 

Zwelitsha and back. 

The GO! was fortunate to catch a 

ride, and witnessed excited children on 

the streets waving the bikers on. 

While the games continued, the 

popular mechanical bull saw many 

eager adults and children challenging 

each other. 

The evening saw the highlight of the 

rally – ‘Patching of New Members’ – 

where four new members were given 

the symbolic keys to their motorcycles. 

Prizes were also given to clubs with 

the most members, and to the three 

riders who had travelled the furthest 

distance to the rally. 

Representing an all-female club, 

Bongiwe Didiza, of Trail Blazers, came 

to support her cousin, who is a Road 

Eagles member. 

“I thought it would be great to come 

build relations with other Eastern Cape 

clubs,” Didiza said.

to help animals 

SIVENATHI GOSA 

BUSINESS SENSE: Fine art photographer and Buckaroo initiator Marlene Neumann was the guest speaker 

at the third annual Ladies High Tea and Mini Business Expo hosted by St Bernard’s Hospice at the Abbotsford 

Christian Centre on Saturday. The aim was to raise funds for St Bernard’s home-based palliative care 

programme. About 230 women filled the centre to listen to Neumann, who delivered a spiritual talk. There 

was also a mini business expo where businesses displayed their products. The hospice raised R40,000 in 

total

Pleasant weekend weather ahead 

After last week’s taste of winter, 

this week’s weather looks set to be 

some of the most pleasant so far. 

Things start off comfortably 

enough on Thursday with the 

maximum temperature reaching a 

warm 25°C. 

There will be a few clouds in the 

sky and a brisk breeze of 18km/h 

from the north-east. 

Fr i d ay ’s weather only improves 

with the wind dying down to just 

7km/h and the few clouds from 

Thursday burning off, leaving clear 

skies. Temperatures remain steady 

at 25°C. 

Despite temperatures dropping a 

little on Saturday to 22°C, 

conditions promises to be still 

pleasant enough. Light cloud cover 

is expected and the wind will 

increase to 11km/h from the south. 

Finally, Sunday sees rain 

predicted for the afternoon 

although the temperature remains 

mild at 21°C. Unfortunately, a 

south-westerly wind is expected to 

increase yet again to 22km/h. 

Non-profit organisation 

Whistle and Wags Animal 

Friends held a fundraising 

event on Sunday morning at 

Gonubie Spar in order to 

raise money for muchneeded 

pet food and 

healthcare supplies to 

distribute to animal shelters. 

“Whistle and Wags Animal 

Friends was founded by a 

group of animal lovers who 

saw a need for a feeding 

programme to assist animal 

shelters with pet food and 

healthcare supplies, to 

enable rescue shelters to 

focus on their rescue efforts,” 

Whistle and Wags member 

Michelle Henning said. 

Henning said their future 

goal was to assist families 

facing financial hardships, 

with pet food to be able to 

feed their pets. 

“Our main objectives are to 

fill the bowls of rescued 

animals, to network for 

animals in need of rehoming 

or fostering and to promote 

the education of the humane 

treatment of animals, 

domestic and wild.” 

Henning said they do not 

have kennels to house 

rescued animals but had 

recently fostered eight 

puppies and their mother for 

a local animal welfare 

o r g a n i s at i o n . 

“We have adopted the 

mother who has a loving 

temperament, and have 

named her Gypsy,” she said.

Whistle and Wags Animal 

Friends has also assisted 

Meals on Wheels, an 

organisation that assists in 

feeding people who are 

disabled, financially 

constrained and elderly 

people. 

“We were astounded to 

learn that there are 50 dogs, 

39 cats, two roosters and 

one wild bird on their [Meals 

on Wheels] route,” Henning 

said. 

“As one of our goals is to 

assist families with pets who 

are in financial hardship, we 

made contact with them 

[Meals on Wheels],” Henning 

said. 

They raised R720 through 

the sale of books, a raffle 

and monetary donations and 

collected a trolley full of pet 

food to distribute to the 

family pets of Meals on 

Wheels recipients. 

“We are all animal lovers 

blessed with different skills 

and talents and 

personalities. We would 

appreciate any donations of 

pet food, fencing, wooden 

pallets, any unwanted 

household items, books, 

blankets, which we will 

distribute to various animal 

welfare organisations. 

“We are on Facebook 

where one can follow our 

initiatives and fundraisers. 

“Our telephone number is 

063-979-3431. 

“We wish to thank 

everyone who supported us 

on Sunday,” said Henning.

Dan Patlansky 

live at Legends 

MATTHEW FIELD 

We l l - known South African blues 

musician Dan Patlansky will be 

bringing his latest show, Duo 

Elect ric, to Legends Showcase on 

April 18 in support of the 

Cornerstone Anti Human Trafficking 

Institute (CAHTI) and 

#Ar tistsAgainstSlaver y. 

CAHTI was established in 2018 

and aims to protect and advance 

the rights of human trafficking 

survivors, as well as raise 

awareness about the issue. 

This is Patlansky’s first 

collaboration with CAHTI and he 

said he “really believed in their 

cause”. 

Pat l a n s k y first got into music at 

a young age. 

“Growing up, my parents listened 

to music constantly, so I would say 

the love of music came from them. 

It’s always been a massive part of 

my life,” he said. 

It was his parents who also 

convinced him to take up blues as 

his genre of choice. 

“The type of music my parents 

constantly played was the blues 

and music within the blues realm. 

“It felt like the most natural form 

of music to play, I felt like I knew it 

a l r e a d y, ” said Patlans k y. 

The show is scheduled to start at 

8pm and tickets are R150 per 

person. Bookings can be made 

online at http://bit.ly/2T5F9L6.

TALKING ABOUT MUSIC: Vocalists and producers attend Samro’s informative roadshow talks on 

copyright laws, at the Eastern Cape Audio Visual Centre in East London Picture: AMANDA NANO 

Artists informed about 

copyright and royalties 

AMANDA NANO 

Music royalties and other 

burning issues were on the table 

as the South African Music 

Rights Organisation visited East 

London musicians at the Eastern 

Cape Audio Visual Centre in East 

London last Friday. 

It formed part of the 

o r g a n i s at i o n ’s nationwide 

roadshow to inform Samro 

members about the importance 

of public domain works. 

Artwork remains copyright 

protected for the duration of the 

c r e at o r ’s life and then 50 years 

after their death. 

As Samro legal services 

general manager Chola 

Makgamathe said, once the 50 

year limit ends, then the 

protection expires and artwork 

falls within the public domain for 

royalty-free usage and 

exploitation, without legal 

consequences. 

“There needs to be a careful 

balancing act between the 

protectors of the works and the 

users of the works,” 

Makgamathe said. 

Other issues touched on 

included the infringement of 

moral rights, such as doing a 

cover version of someone’s song 

and posting it on YouTube 

without acknowledging the 

ar tist. 

“It is to your benefit to keep 

records of your original creation 

in case of infringement,” Samro 

managing director Andre Le 

Roux said. 

Matters also arose of stolen 

work and how one can prove the 

work is indeed their own. 

Another issue was the 

visibility of Samro within the 

Eastern Cape. 

For producer and vocalist 

Lungisile Mdunyelwa, the 

workshop gave him a broader 

understanding of how public 

domain works. 

“I wish Samro could have an 

office in the province because a 

lot of information can be passed 

on,” Mdunyelwa said.

Samro on m a r k e t i n g @ s a m ro . o r g . z a

Young boxers trade leather 

THEMBELA NDLUMBINI 

Boxing lovers flocked to King 

William’s Park on Saturday for 

the amateur boxing tournament 

organised by local 

businessman Fred de Abreu for 

young boxers from in and 

around King William’s Town. 

Spirits were high despite the 

poor state of the ring – and no 

injuries were reported 

Accompanying De Abreu to 

the tournament was former IBF 

World Champion We l c o m e 

“Ta ko m ” Ncita. 

There were 51 bouts fought 

in the boys category with five 

bouts fought in the girls’ 

categor y. 

Winners were presented with 

medals and trophies, as well as 

meals. 

“We are developing King 

William’s Town amateur boxers 

and we are protecting our kids 

from drugs and we want them 

to stay away from bad 

elements,” De Abreu said. 

He said this tournament 

showed people that boxing was 

a sport that could unite 

children and helped them stay 

away from drugs or other 

harmful activities. 

“We have made a call to 

parents to help us by 

supporting their children,” 

Zwelitsha Boxing Club manager 

Siza Helwana said. 

He also said a major 

stumbling block for boxing in 

King William’s Town was 

sponsorship. 

Former professional boxer 

Nkosomzi Moss welcomed the 

tournament as it kept children 

busy after school hours. 

“We are appealing to the 

department of sports, business 

people and people of South 

Africa to support boxing,” he 

said. One of the parents,

Once again, East London schools are 

gearing up for the latest edition of 

the East London Port Rex Lions 

E i st e d d fo d . 

From April 29 to May 10, schools 

will go head to head in a number of 

musical recitals which will 

demonstrate their classical music 

skills. 

The first East London eisteddfod 

was held in 1922 while the e i st e d d fo d 

in its current form emerged in 1983, 

organised by the South African 

Society of Music Teachers. 

The East London Port Rex Lions 

Club became involved with the 

eisteddfod in the 1980s and have 

been primary sponsors since. 

From its onset, the main focus of 

the East London eisteddfod has been 

classical music. Recitals include 

chamber choirs, marimba bands, and 

choral sections, all putting their 

music abilities to the test. 

While classical music remains the 

core focus, a contemporary music 

section was added in 2015 to cater to 

pupils wishing to perform on more 

contemporary instruments. 

Also in 2015, floating trophies were 

replaced with medals sponsored by 

Lee Gold Music which winners can 

take home.

Egg-ceptional display at mall 

GO REPORTER 

Lack of bin provision 

adds to our litter woes 

MATTHEW FIELD 

The work of five local 

artists will be on 

display at Vincent Park 

Shopping Centre from 

Friday until the end of 

M ay. 

The artists – N at a s h a 

Bezuidenhout, Unathi 

Feni, Mziwoxolo 

Makalima and Kate 

Teesdale – have been 

commissioned by 

Vincent Park to 

decorate oversized eggs 

as part of the mall’s 

Vincent Park Paints 

Easter campaign. 

The fifth artist is a 

local primary school 

pupil whose work was 

selected by public vote 

from more than 330 

ent ries. 

The entry has been 

adapted and interpreted 

onto a threedimensional 

sphere by 

Lynne Price, well-known 

artist and owner of I 

Left My Heart in Africa, 

a community art 

initiative based in 

Chintsa. 

“We are incredibly 

proud to be working 

with local artists and 

are really excited to 

offer them the 

opportunity to 

showcase their talents 

to the greater East 

London public,” said 

Vincent Park manager 

Joseph Parsley. 

“The artists have 

been working on their 

creations in studio and 

will be applying the 

finishing touches to 

their masterpieces in 

the mall this weekend,” 

added Vincent Park 

marketing manager 

LETTER TO THE EDITOR... 

HATCHING GREAT ART: Artists are hard at work bringing their Easter eggs to 

life for the Vincent Park Paints Easter campaign 


Mariaan Hartwig. 

East Londoners are 

invited to view the 

artworks and will also 

have the opportunity to 

win shopping vouchers. 

“Vincent Park is 

launching an exciting 

selfie competition on 

our Facebook page. As 

of April 15, shoppers 

can upload a selfie 

taken next to their 

favourite egg and tag 

the mall’s page to stand 

a chance of winning a 

R500 Vincent Park gift 

card. We have a total of 

10 up for grabs,” said 

Har t wig. 

Details of the 

competition will be 

available on the mall’s 

Facebook page. 

SPCA in need of public’s help 

Our front page story this week 

is about an admirable new 

recycling initiative that aims to 

not only help clean up the 

streets, but also help the 

environment. 

The problem of waste is 

certainly something BCM 

residents know a thing or two 

about. 

Even when the municipality 

isn’t on strike, it seems that 

there’s just no end to the litter 

that fills streets, clogs gutters 

and ruins beachfronts. 

I want to look at an aspect of 

this problem that I don’t think 

gets much attention or, at 

least, doesn’t get as much 

attention as it deserves. 

And that is the lack of refuse 

bins in and around the BCM 

area. While it is true that there 

are those who simply dump 

their rubbish at the most 

convenient spot and forget 

about it, the truth is that 

there’s not much choice for 

those who want to do things 

p r o p e r l y. 

Nahoon Corner is one of the 

most popular beach spots 

around Nahoon Beach and 

sees heavy foot traffic, 

especially over weekends. 

However, there are only a 

handful of bins provided – and 

a good number of them are 

actually broken. 

Go down to Corner on a 

Sunday morning and you’ll find 

the bins overflowing with even 

more rubbish piled around 

them. It is clear that the 

number of bins is grossly 

WASTE WISE: Providing more bins in key areas would go a long 

way to combat littering 

Picture: FILE 

inadequate for the amount of 

waste generated but nothing 

has really been done about it. 

The fact that people took the 

time to not only fill the bins 

but then ensure they left their 

rubbish by them 

when they were 

full, shows that 

beach-goers 

aren’t as 

careless as we’d 

like to think. 

Clearly they want 

to use the bins 

and properly 

dispose of their 

rubbish but 

simply cannot. 

Yes, people leaving their 

rubbish on the beach itself is 

problematic and should be 

rightly criticised. But why 

aren’t any bins provided along 

the beach for people to use? 

As it stands, the closest bins 

are at Corner or the Lifesaver 

Shack and, as we just 

discussed, even these are 

inadequate to meet demand. 

This can be extended to the 

city as a whole. In many areas, 

there are simply 

not enough bins 

provided to cope 

with the amount 

of waste 

generated, which 

means the ones 

that are present 

quickly fill up, 

leaving residents 

with nowhere else 

to dispose of their 

rubbish. 

It won’t solve our litter 

problem entirely, of course, but 

surely one of the best ways to 

encourage proper waste 

disposal is to give citizens the 

option to do so in the first 

place? 

Dedicated professional 

people are needed who 

are able to commit 

time, effort and 

expertise to ensure the 

survival of the East 

London SPCA. 

The East London 

SPCA has been through 

a tumultuous time and 

needs strong leadership 

at the helm to take the 

SPCA to new heights. 

Each SPCA is an 

independently 

registered non-profit 

o r g a n i s at i o n 

responsible for its own 

sur vival. 

Of course the key 

factor is funding, 

especially as no 

financial support is 

received from 

government and any 

income from a 

municipal source is not 

a grant but payment for 

services rendered in 

connection with taking 

in stray animals. 

However, it may 

surprise most people to 

learn that the main 

reason SPCAs have 

closed over the past 20 

years is the lack of 

community support. 

Each SPCA needs an 

elected management 

committee (or “Board”) 

comprised of local 

people. This is the body 

which directs, plans, 

organises and ensures 

the future of the SPCA. 

In instances when an 

insufficient number of 

people from the 

surrounding community 

can be found to 

undertake this function, 

the SPCAs have 

floundered and closure 

has followed. 

Please do not let this 

happen to your SPCA! 

An appeal is made not 

to take the SPCA for 

granted but to be part 

of its future and the 

solution to animal 

welfare in your district. 

The SPCA provides a 

service which is 

essential to the animals 

and the community. 

The East London 

SPCA has been in 

existence for over 100 

years and it would be 

devastating day if this 

legacy were to end and 

the Society were to 

close its doors due to 

the lack of community 

suppor t. 

We cover an 

extensive area, 

incorporating large 

areas with indigent 

citizens and with 

numerous animal 

related facilities, that 

require regular 

inspection. The cociety 

admits over 6,000 

animals of all species 

and deals with over 

11,000 animals through 

cruelty complaints and 

routine inspections 

annually. This they do 

currently with only two 

inspectors and one field 

officer. Far too often 

when an SPCA is in 

financial difficulty, 

well-meaning people 

come forward offering 

to help by raising funds. 

This is deeply 

appreciated but 

ensuring the existence 

of an SPCA is an 

around-the-clock 

function and firmly 

vested in the 

communit y. 

We are calling a 

special general meeting 

on Saturday May 4 at 

10am at Griffon Hall, 

Buffalo Club, 1 Buffalo 

Park Dive, Quigney in 

order for us to elect a 

fully functioning 

management 

commit tee. 

Individuals, especially 

with business 

backgrounds, may 

submit a one-page CV 

to Vonny Strachan at

before April 26.

‘Our Planet’ re v e a l s 

the good, bad, ugly 

MATTHEW FIELD 

There are many words 

one could use to describe 

Our Planet, a nature 

documentary recently 

released on Netflix. 

Our Planet breaks away 

from the more traditional 

nature documentary 

format in that it makes no 

bones about the fact the 

beauty it is showing is 

under threat from 

humans. 

Truly gorgeous shots of 

rainforests, savannah and 

Arctic wilderness are 

quickly followed up by 

tragic reality. 

One particularly painful 

example comes when 

narrator David 

Attenborough, the king of 

nature documentaries, 

spends a good 15 minutes 

exploring a lush rainforest 

and the unique animals 

that live there. 

When he’s done, he 

pauses, as if in tragic 

contemplation, and 

explains how the 

rainforest was cut down 

years ago to make way for 

a palm oil plantation. 

It is this sense of 

rapturous awe of nature 

combined with 

unflinching examination 

of its destruction, that 

makes Our Planet so 

captivating and yet so 

hard to watch. 

The series doesn’t 

tip-toe around the issue 

and says right up front 

that it is humanity and its 

unquenchable thirst for 

resources, that is 

decimating the natural 

world. 

And, while Our Planet 

has plenty of hard truths, 

it is also not without 

hope. As Attenborough 

says in the conclusion of 

one of the last episodes, 

we have a choice. 

We can continue with 

business as usual or we 

could turn around and 

save not just the planet 

but ourselves as well. 

There is still time but, 

as the Netflix series 

points out, the window is 

growing smaller by the 

d ay.

Celebrating 20 years 


Celebrating two decades in the 

business, SuperSPAR Highway in 

Mdantsane recently honoured 

their five “long service” w o r ke r s 

who have been with them since 

the beginning. 

Noluthando Mapipa, 

Nonzwakazi Mabandla, Nosipho 

Lobese, Thandeka Mahlathi, 

Bongiwe Shweyi and Mongezi 

Booi all shared their gratitude 

about the positive effect SPAR 

had had on their lives. 

“I started working for SPAR in 

1999, where we were taken to 

Southernwood for training as 

cashiers. We were then taken to 

Mdantsane, where received more 

training, specifically on how to 

handle customers,” Mapipa said. 

“SuperSPAR Highway was 

officially opened on March 25 

1999 and six months after the 

opening of the store, I was 

promoted as the supervisor,” 

said Mapipa. 

“Before being a SPAR 

employee, we were not business 

minded. Throughout these 20 

years, we gained a lot of 

knowledge in terms of customer 

services, communication skills 

and many more. 

“They are also providing us 

with some educational 

programmes for employees. 

SPAR also gives learnerships to 

university students during their 

holidays, so that they can gain 

some work experience and earn 

a stipend,” Mapipa said. 

The original SPAR burned 

down in October 2013 and the 

employees were left jobless for 

three months until the new 

owners took over and 

re-employed them. 

“We are grateful to the owners 

because they could have hired a 

new team, but they decided to 

take us back after the tragedy. 

We would like to thank 

SuperSPAR Highway for the 

opportunities that they have 

granted us with,” Mapipa said. 

Moldenhauer Group supports 

these charity organisations: 

GOD’S HEART DESIRE 

CHILDREN’S HOME IN FORT 

J A C KS O N 

This initiative caters for 32 

children who are taken care of 

full-time. 

“The new centre in Fort 

Jackson was built by the 

Moldenhauer Group. We are 

currently adding to the centre 

with a new bathroom and 

laundry room,” marketing and 

corporate social investment 

coordinater of Moldenhauer 

Group Alexi Carreira said. 

KUYASA HOPE ON THE HILL 

FOUNDATION IN NU 3 

MDANTS ANE, 

REAL VIEW FOUNDATION 

Moldenhauer Group has 

partnered with Bulelani Fowl, 

from the Real View Foundation. 

The initiative feeds just over 500 

children three times per day on a 

budget of R1,300 per week.

Group became involved when 

the bricks ordered for the 

building of the church of the 

church were stolen. Build It 

stepped in and offered to build 

and finish the church. 

“Not only have we opted to 

build the church, but as a 

method to help self-sustain the 

members of the church, we have 

initiated a plastic bottle 

recycling initiative which sees 

thousands of plastic bottles 

being gathered and recycled. 

The proceeds are put back into 

the church and the surrounding 

communit y,” Carreira said. 

Moldenhauer also supports a 

number of outreach programmes 

every week with food. 

“We donate food parcels to 

the following organisations on a 

weekly basis: Masizakhe 

Children's Home, Ethembeni Old 

Age Home, Mamas Club Old Age 

Home, Siyazama Old Age Home 

and Kukhulu HIV Centre,” 

Carreira said.

Time for 

that epic 

egg hunt 

GO REPORTER 

Scripture Union (SU) 

Amatola will be hosting 

their annual Epic Easter 

Egg Hunt again this 

year in James Pearce 

Park, Stirling on 

Saturday April 20. 

Scripture Union offers 

both life skills and 

faith-based activities in 

14 schools across 

Buffalo City Metro. 

Funds raised from 

this event go towards 

their lifeskills courses 

and camps, as well as 

holiday clubs and 

school Christian groups. 

“Our Epic Easter Egg 

Hunt was a great 

success in 2018 and we 

received a lot of 

positive feedback, and 

numerous requests to 

run it again. We are 

looking forward to a 

fantastic event,” SU 

Amatola regional 

director Matthew 

Tarboton said. 

The hunt runs from 

10.30am to 1.30pm and 

costs R70 per child 

aged between two and 

12. Tickets will only be 

sold in advance. 

Entry includes a 

bunny bag for the hunt, 

Easter activities, 

jumping castles, a soft 

play area for toddlers, 

as well as competitions 

and giveaways. 

Food will be on sale 

and families are invited 

to bring a picnic 

blanket along and enjoy 

lunch in the park. 

Contact 082-481-8622 

for tickets, or e-mail 

E p i c E a s t e r Eg g H u n t @ g m a i l . 

com. Please note that no 

tickets will be sold on 

the day. 

Easter 

upon us 

again 

MATTHEW FIELD 

Easter is one of the 

more jolly holidays on 

the public calendar, 

second only to 

Christmas (in my 

opinion) when it comes 

to good vibes. 

Both are celebrations 

of key moments in 

Christianity (the 

resurrection of Jesus 

Christ and his birth, 

respectively), both 

borrow heavily from 

pre-historical pagan 

traditions, and both 

focus on the giving of 

free stuff to other 

people. 

It helps that Easter in 

SA falls in that magical 

time of the year where 

the oppressive heat of 

summer is on its way 

out but the bitter chill 

of winter hasn’t quite 

arrived yet. 

There’s always ideal 

photo opportunities too. 

So why not take the 

chance to take a few 

choice shots and send 

them through to us? If 

we get enough, we’ll 

put together a special 

Easter collage in our 

April 25 edition. 

Photographs can be 

sent through to goexp

Fun and funds with 

Zombie Run 

MATTHEW FIELD 

Belgravia Art Centre and 

Jonginenge Eco-Adventures will be 

co-hosting a 5km Zombie Run at 

Lavender Blue on Saturday. 

The run will help raise money for 

the art centre, as well as 

Jonginenge’s ongoing Surf Outreach 

programme. 

“With more than 600 pupils from 

grades 1 to 12, we would like to 

develop the centre and be able to 

extend our services to more 

outreach programmes,” B e l g r av i a 

staff member Patsy Hoelandt said. 

“We would also like to do building 

alterations for our sculpture 

depar tment.” 

According to her, she also said 

they wanted to use the funds to 

improve access for disabled 

students since, according to her, the 

school “is not wheelchair-friendly”. 

The Jonginenge Surf Outreach 

programme has been running for 

two years and provides surf lessons 

to children at Nahoon Beach every 

S at u r d ay. 

The programme currently hosts 20 

children and Jonginenge wants to 

raise funds to accommodate more. 

Entry fees are R80 per adult and 

R40 for children under the age of 10. 

Entry forms are available at Slaters, 

Party Magic, and Nina Deli or e-mail 

zombierunel@gmail.com. 

Late entry on the day can be done 

at Lavender Blue from 12.30pm. 

T-shirts will be given to the first 

100 entrants. 

Runners are encouraged to dress 

up as zombies for the event. They 

might even be chased by “zo m b i e s ” 

along the route.

Selborne College will be the only East London school 

taking part in the 12th annual Standard Bank Kearsney 

Easter Rugby Festival in KwaZulu-Natal from April 18 to 

22 

Ṫhey will be competing against 11 other top school 

rugby teams from across the country, namely: 

Kearsney, Glenwood, and Durban High Schools from 

KwaZulu-Natal; Pretoria Boys High, Hoerskool Dr EG 

Jansen, HTS Middleburg and Welkom Gimnasium from 

Gauteng; HTS Drostdy; Hoerskool Noord-Kaap from the 

Northern Cape; and Hoerskool Framesby from the 

Eastern Cape. 

In addition to thrilling rugby, members of the KZN 

Rugby Union and the Sharks Academy will be watching 

the matches to identify potential future players which 

will surely encourage participanting players to be on 

top form throughout. 

Sharks Academy managing director Etienne Fynn 

said the Kearsney Tournament not only brought 

together some of the top schoolboy rugby talent from 

across the country, it was also a great opportunity to 

expose players and coaches to the Sharks brand. 

“Rugby has become a realistic career opportunity 

and the festival is an ideal springboard for players to 

show their skill and flair for the game, whilst also 

providing obvious benefits to rugby in the province,” 

said Fynn. 

The kick-off is 9.30am daily and gate entrance is 

R25 per person 

WILD RUN: Wild Women on the Run held a fun run on Saturday at he Teas in

The department of sport, 

recreation, arts and 

culture (DSRAC) has 

come up with a R4.2m 

lifeline to help the 

liquidated Border Bulldogs get 

back into the rugby limelight. 

The lifeline will see the team 

take part in the SuperSport 

Challenge and the Currie Cup B 

Division competitions later this 

y e a r. 

“In 2018, the general public 

learnt with shock that Border 

Rugby Union was facing serious 

challenges in terms of 

administration and compliance 

with South African Rugby Union 

[Saru] prescripts and policies,” 

Dsrac MEC Bulelwa Tunyiswa 

said. “The matter became a 

subject of discussion on various 

platforms, with some calling for 

government intervention,” she 

said. 

Tunyiswa said Saru had 

confirmed that Border Rugby 

had indeed been suspended 

from playing over the past two 

seasons; this included 

participation in national 

competitions by the men’s rugby 

senior team (Border Bulldogs) 

and attendance by the executive 

in all (Saru) constitutional 

meetings. 

“In January 2019, a process of 

engagement between DSRAC, 

Buffalo City Municipality, Saru 

and Eastern Cape Sport 

TO THE RESCUE: DSRAC MEC Bulelwa Tunyiswa announced last 

Friday the department will inject R4.2m into the Border Bulldogs to 

get them back on track 

Picture: SIVENATHI GOSA 

Confederation(ECSC) started to 

gain momentum and, as a result, 

DSRAC started to take the lead 

in negotiating with Saru to 

re-open the window of 

participation by the Border 

Bulldogs. 

“Saving Border Rugby would 

save young players from being 

rugby ‘migrant labourers’ as the 

absence of a team would mean 

that they must go to other 

provinces to have a chance to 

p l ay, ” Tunyiswa said. 

The coaching staff were still 

on the Saru payroll, which meant 

that Saru was still incurring 

expenses regarding their 

salaries. 

Saru executive member 

Monde Tabata said Border Rugby 

were not attracting sponsors and 

owed SARS lots of money. 

“You can never run a club 

without sponsors. Two-thirds of 

the budget should come from 

sponsorships,” Tabata said. 

DSRAC senior manager 

Bafundi Makubalo said the 

players were in good shape to 

participate in upcoming events, 

as some of them were part of 

the team that won the Eastern 

Cape Super 12 Rugby 

competition last month, and 

others were currently playing in 

the Gold Cup. 

Border Bulldogs scrumhalf 

Bangi Kobese said the past six 

months had been tough, but the 

players have been pushing hard. 

“We are really grateful in what 

the government is doing for the 

team,” he added.

Sons run for cancer support 

AMANDA NANO 

The “Three Cousins” – 

Brenton de la Harpe, 

David Prinsloo and 

Russell Weare – are on 

a mission to raise R1m 

for East London-based 

cancer support group 

Reach for Recovery 

(R4R). 

The trio know what 

it’s like to have cancer 

affect family as their 

mothers have all been 

diagnosed with it. 

Prinsloo and De La 

Harpe’s mothers have 

sadly succumbed to the 

disease. 

“Together we are 

aiming to raise this sum 

by running the 90km 

Comrades Marathon on 

June 9 from Durban to 

Pietermaritzburg,” 

committee member 

Maureen Smith said. 

Smith said 2% of 

their target had been 

raised so far. 

“With less than t wo 

months to go to 

Comrades 2019, any 

contribution, no matter 

how big or small, will 

go a long way to 

rectifying our current 

short fall,” Smith said. 

R4R is affiliated to 

the international body 

bearing the same name 

and aims to help 

women with breast 

cancer. The non-profit 

organisation was 

started in 1972 by 

Theresa Lasser, who 

had a mastectomy and 

realised that other 

women who had been 

through similar 

circumstances would 

need assistance. 

Weare is an Old 

Selbornian who has 

competed in a number 

of marathon runs. 

His mother, Rosalie, 

is an active member of 

the R4R East London 

branch. 

The “Three Cousins” 

will compete in the Two 

Oceans Marathon on 

April 20 in Cape Town. 

RUN FOR CANCER: The faces of, from left, Rosalie Weare, Leonie Harry 

and Lorraine Schonknecht whose sons, Russell Weare, David Prinsloo and 

Brenton de la Harpe – the ‘Three Cousins’ – will run for those whose lives 

have been affected by breast cancer in the 2019 Comrades Marathon and 

to raise funds for a cancer support group. Donations via
