APART from being a highlight on the East-ern Cape’s event calendar, the Baywest PortElizabeth Airshow will be the proverbialwind beneath the wings of a number of chari-ties which stand to benefit from this year’sevent.

According to airshow director and head oftheMTRSmitChildren’sHaven inPort Eliza-beth, Dr Crystal Watson, numerous charitiesand initiatives will reap the benefits of thegiving nature of thousands of aviation enthu-siasts expected to flock to the airshow on Sat-urday, October 25.

“As in the past, proceeds of the airshowwillbe carefully distributed not only to benefitthe MTR Smit Children’s Haven. We have along- standing tradition of assisting othercharities in any way possible,” Watson said.

Children’s charities, aviation developmentfor under-privileged children and wildlifepreservation initiatives are at the top of thebeneficiary list this year. This year’s airshowwill be hosted on the grounds of the South Af-rican Airforce (SAAF) Museum in South-dene, behind Forest Hill.

According to airshow organising commit-tee member, SAAF representative and cura-tor of the SAAF Museum, Captain Mark Kel-brick, the change in venue opens up a worldof possibilities to organisers and visitorsalike.

“The venue offers more parking as well asleisure areas and also affords airshow-goerseasy access to the museum displays.”

Hiswritesabout every day issues, life, success, fail-ure, fears and poverty.

He would also like to study political sci-ence at university - because of his love forpolitics.

“I love politics and would like to becomea politician one day. But I’d like to studyfirst, so that I make a positive contributionto the lives of the people I lead,” said Gqa-

mane who got inspiration from SanctorHigh School Grade 9 English teacher, SadeKrause to want to become a writer.

He said itwashis teacher’s goodcommandof the language of the Queen that made himfall in love with it, to speak, read and write.

This, however, did not mean he under-mined his mother tongue, isiXhosa, he ex-plained.

“I am also inspired by the writings of thelate Poet Maya Angelou and playwright DrJohnKani,” Gqamane toldPEExpress Inda-ba.

To feed his interest in the people’s livesand circumstances around them, Gqamaneis an avid reader.

He said, “I like reading. Most of the timeI am reading a book and entering debatesand filling in quizzes and puzzles from themagazines.”

Gqamane would like to write his autobio-graphy. He said his life may have interest-ing twists that many people could learnfrom.

“I’d like to write my story, perhaps to beable to changemy life situation through thatvery writing,” he said.

MANGALISO Gxokwana (61) is not scaredof hard work. In fact, Mkhulu (old man)Gxokwana of Kwazakhele township in PortElizabeth is known as one of the people whowork in the garden to put food on the table.

“I look after the garden at Seyisi PrimarySchool and the Lilitha Agricultural Prima-ry Cooperative at Daku,” said Gxokwana.

Gxokwana works the garden at theAward-winning Seyisi Primary Schoolwith teachers and pupils.

The garden benefits them for their dailymeals and the Lilitha Coop garden, wherehe works with the community, feeds mem-bers of the community.

“I enjoy working in the garden. I startedgardening as early as 1956 as a school sub-ject,” reminisced Mkhulu Gxokwana.

He said he enjoyed it more while in CapeTown in the early 1990s seeing people plant-ing on sand. He then got training from Aba-limi basekhaya (a Cape Town-based groupof farmers) who produced food in the gar-den for a living.

“I joined a group of gardeners called Siya-zama in Khayelitsha, Cape Town and weworked the gardens on sandy soil.

When Gxokwana came back to Port Eliza-beth in 1997 he was so much in love with

gardening that he bought a book entitled“Food Gardening Foundation” from whichhis love for tilling the soil for food produc-tion was heightened.

The old man praised former Nelson Man-dela Bay Executive mayor Nceba Faku forhis vision.

“Former mayor Nceba (Faku) had adream. He sent some of us local gardenersto get training at Fort Hare University in2003.

“We studied crop production, live-stockproduction. piggery, poultry farming, hy-drophonics, irrigation schemes, group dy-namics and financial management amongother disciplines,” a proud Gxokwanasaid.

When they came back, Gxokwana saidthey started the garden at Silver Town andafter receiving more training from UluntuAcademy they went to establish anothergarden at the Pentecostal Church, both inKwazakhele.

Gxokwana bemoaned the fact that a hugeproblem local gardeners have always beenfacing is a shortage of water for irrigation.

“I do a large number of hectares alone.I love gardening, my wife Nomathamsanqa(Gxokwana) knows that gardening is mysecond love,” quipped Mkhulu Gxokwana,a father of six children and a grandfatherof many.

“VIOLENCE and corruption at St AlbansCorrectional Services have been stabilizedand dealt with.”

So assured the Deputy Minister of Correc-tional Services, Thabang Makwetla, lastweek during his one day visit to the prison.His visit to St Albans was an effort whichforms part of government’s approach to getpublic servants committed to serving citi-zens and improve on service delivery.This comes after two correctional service

officerswere stabbedwithin days of each oth-er at St Albans in July this year.Duringhis visitMakwetla said thenational

office had deployed 160 of its backup forcemembers to help with the situation of staffshortages, which has been hampering serv-ice delivery at the prison.“After many reports of violence in the pris-

on, the National Department of CorrectionalServices deployed a task team which investi-gated not only the violent incidents, but alsothe corruption and since the force hit theground there has not been a single incidentreported.”Makwetla said the prisonhadvarious chal-

lenges, including overcrowding due to therenovations at the PE prison and the short-

age of staff members caused by the over-crowding. With the help of the national taskteam, the prison has since removed cellphones, sharp objects and drugs from in-mates, according to the Minister.Makwetla also spoke to six inmates who

were in the process of writing their matricexams.He praised the six inmates, who were the

only ones out of 5 000 prisoners who are cur-rently pursuing their matric education.“What you are doing gives me pride and

I ask that you continue to further your stud-ies. You are a great example to the othermeninside and I am encouraged by what you aredoing.”There are also sevenprisonerswhoare fur-

thering their studies through UNISA, Mak-wetla added.The prison currently has three workshops

and 140 offenders working as part of their re-habilitation - mainly in textile, steel andwood, which is then transported to variousprisons and correctional services officesacross the province.

AS the world panics over the Ebola out-break, West Africans are reportedly flee-ing their countries in a bid to outrun thevirus – some even headed overland forSouth Africa.According to the Sunday Independent,

this could place South Africa at considera-ble risk.Johannesburg-basedmembers of the im-

migrant communities fromLiberia, SierraLeone and Guinea told the newspaper thatthere was a considerable number of peopleattempting to reach SA, most trying toreach it overland – a 5 000km trek.One man said he alone knew of at least

five people who were on their way.The newspaper reports that it would just

take one carrier to change the situation inSA – particularly in a community that islargely housed in the densely populatedcity centre of Johannesburg – an idealbreeding ground for a communicable virussuch as Ebola.In addition, these often undocumented

migrants also enter the country throughthe porous border at Beitbridge in north-ern Limpopo – an entry point that has no

measures such as temperature radars inplace to check visitors who could be carri-ers.However, Minister of Home Affairs

Malusi Gigaba andMinister of HealthAar-on Motsoaledi have stated that althoughcaution needs to be exercised, it cannot bedone at the expense of fuelling xenophobia.Motsoaledi said that he felt SA was too

far away for most people to reach by landand if they were carrying the disease, thechances are they would not make it to theborder alive, reported the newspaper.Meanwhile, as reported by News24 on

Saturday, the UN special envoy on Ebolasays the number of cases is probably dou-bling every three to four weeks and the re-sponse needs to be 20 times greater thanit was at the beginning of October.David Nabarro warned the UN General

Assembly on Friday that without the massmobilisation of the world to support the af-fected countries in West Africa, “it will beimpossible to get this disease quickly un-der control, and the world will have to livewith the Ebola virus forever.”Nabarro said the UN knows what needs

to be done to catch up to and overtake Ebo-la’s rapid advance “and together we’re go-ing to do it.“And our commitment to all of you is to

achieve it within a matter of months – afew months,” he said.More than 4 000 people have died of the

disease since the start of the outbreak, theworst to date.Last week, News24 reported that al-

though no cases of Ebola have been report-ed in SouthAfrica, the country is ready fora possible outbreak.“It’s not that we are just starting now.

We are just ramping up efforts to fight thevirus that started in December,” said Mot-soaledi.Motsoaledi said Cabinet had approved a

budget of R32.5m to support Ebola prepar-edness and response activities.

FORMER Multiple world boxing championMzukisi “Laciar” Sikali could be gone, buthe is surely not forgotten.

This became evident when Johannesburgmusician and businessman Mzwakhe Mbu-li, aka The People’s Poet, called Sikali’s fam-ily in Khayelitsha, Uitenhage, to say thatSikali, would be honoured during his SABCSiyabakhumbula (“We remember them”)Awards scheduled to take place at the Sand-ton Convention Centre in Johannesburg onSaturday, November 1.

Sikali was brutally murdered by thugswho wanted to rob him of his cellphone inSeptember 2005.

This will be the fifth anniversary of theawards, this year presented by the City ofJohannesburg.

The awards are Mbuli’s initiative to rec-ognise and honour talent that has come outof South Africa through music, arts in itsdiversity, sports and recreation.

“The awards have paid homage to the pa-triots and legends who displayed diversetalents and contributions from entertainersto educators, from literary brilliance to theextraordinary folk,” said Mbuli.

Those who have been honoured at pastawards include Gibson Kente, Sophie Mgci-na, Percy Qoboza, Brenda Fassie andPatrick “Ace” Ntsoelengoe to mention butfew.

Mbuli, a staunch boxing supporter whohas honoured the likes of Arthur “FightingPrince” Mayisela and Brian Baronet of fisti-cuffs fame, said it is the third year since hewanted to honour the former SA Junior-Fly-

weight, World Boxing Union (WBU) JuniorFlyweight, WBU Superflyweight and IBOFlyweight Champion Sikali who also heldthe B-grade WBC International Junior Fly-weight and WBA Intercontinental Fly-weight titles.

“Mzukisi, Oh, I loved him so much. I fol-lowed all his fights as I am a staunch boxingsupporter. He was a great fighter. I was sohurt when he was brutally stabbed to deathby thugs.

“Through these awards, we want the sto-ries of a great man like him to be told formany years to come – for the benefit of fu-ture generations,” said Mbuli.

“It is nine years since he died. But I re-member Mzukisi’s passing as if it was yes-terday. I could not believe it when policecame to tell us that his body was lying ina pool of blood in the street. He was sucha good child,” said Mzukisi’s still visiblydistraught mother Nozizwe Sikali.

Mama Nozizwe said she had since forgiv-en the murderers and accepted her son’sdeath.

“We want to thank Mzwakhe (Mbuli) forthe awards. We are very happy to hear somepeople have not forgotten about my son. Wethink of him every day and know that heloved boxing,” said Mama Nozizwe.

Mzukisi’s younger brother Mzwamatolasaid they had also started the Mzukisi Sika-li Boxing Club, in memory of his brother.

“The club is producing excellent fighterswho win medals during tournaments. WhatMzwakhe did, is a cherry on top,” he said.

The duo are expected to fly to Johannes-burg to collect Mzukisi “Laciar” Sikali’s Si-yabakhumbula Award at the end of themonth.

FORMER boxing trainer Martin Dyerwould like to be remembered as someonewho helped the late Linda “Black Mamba”Nondzaba (51), of Wells Estate in Port Eli-zabeth, become the South African Welter-weight champion.

Dyer said he was saddened by Nondza-ba’s passing and that he, being away fromboxing, didn’t know the man was sick.

Nondzaba died in his sleep at his homelast Sunday after a short illness,

“I am the one who trained Linda Non-dzaba to beat Frederick ‘Gorilla’ Siswanain Johannesburg in 1990.

“He came to my gym and I took over histraining and helped build his punchingpower,” said Martin Dyer of Kabega Park.

Dyer, who will be turning 77 next weekis known for having trained boxers likeBramley Whiteboy and Caiphus Ntante,among others, and assisted pugilists likeVuyani “Wonder Boy” Nene, Brown Bon-

go and Jan Horn to mention but a few.Still showing his superior moves and

possession of great scientific knowledge ofthe sport, Dyer described how he tookNondzaba to the championship.

He said, “I saw potential in him andknew what was lacking. And, he won greatfights after that including against Phum-zile Madikane who was otherwise a betterboxer.”

Dyer said Nondzaba invited him to hisamateur boxing tournament where he washoping to honour him with a trophy.

“We were hoping to do that in the secondweek of October. Condolences to the fami-ly,” said Dyer who is now involved intraining racing pigeons.

A memorial service was organised bythe Nelson Mandela Bay Metro Municipal-ity’s Department of Sport, Recreation,Arts and Culture Culture and the BoxingVeterans Association (BOVA).

Mapitiza told Nondzaba’s family, “Weshare your pain with this loss. He was acommunity development worker who keptour youth out of the streets and away fromcrime and drugs.”

Former ring greats like ChristopherDlamini, Pillay Duiker, Frazer Ndzandze,Thembinkosi Mtyenene, ThembinkosiTwenana, Mzukisi Oliphant including box-ing fans like Xoza Mbetha were at the service.

HIS art grabbed the attention of the PE Tour-ism Board, who purchased his Legends paint-ing at the recent Stakeholder AppreciationDay hosted by The Hope Factory at its PortElizabeth operation.

Banele Njadayi of Blart Projects turned hislove of art into a business. “A part of me al-ways wanted to make my own money and berecognised as a well-known artist; however, Ididn’t know I could become an entrepreneur.”

While exhibiting his work at the StakeholderDay, the artist and businessman didn’t knowhe was about to strike it lucky. He’s ecstaticabout the Tourism Board’s support for localartists and for buying his paining for R7 500.The Legends painting was inspired by his

late grandfather and his friends, who used tosit around and tell stories. “The painting isdedicated to him; it is a reflection of my child-hood,” says Banele.Multi-talented Banele says he doesn’t limit

what he works with. He’ll use scrap metals,as well as any used and found items to create

his masterpieces. He says of his talent, “It isthe gift the Lord has given me. I started thisbusiness because I love it and I am passionateabout art”. He sculpts, paints, and is makingshoulder bags on the side.In 2011 the New Signature Awards hon-

oured him with a merit award for the Dyingto Live series. The three-piece artworks weremade with found objects.In October he’ll be shipping new artwork

that he’s currently working on to Chicago foran exhibition taking place in February 2015.Since 2012, when he’s not running his busi-

ness or attending The Hope Factory’s mentor-ship programme, he teaches art part-time tokids taking part in theMasifunde Learner De-velopment programme who are also passion-ate about the crafts. The children range fromgrade 5 to 12. “I teach so I can contribute some-thing worthwhile back to the community”.His message of encouragement to other art-

ists who don’t believe they can use their tal-ents tomake a living is: “Stay focused on yourdream; continue to be creative and always bepositive, as it makes a difference when timesare tough.”

directors that we open thebranch at Gelvandale Communi-ty Hall to make it easy for thepeople from the Northern Areaswho are forced to travel long dis-tances to go to Kwazakhele andMotherwell where we also havedance studios,” said Ndoni whois the brains behind theNPO reg-

istered academy.“We are in the business of de-

veloping dance sport skillsamong the youth and adults ofNelsonMandelaBay and to do so,we hope to come closer to ourmembers,” said Ndoni, addingthat they would continue withtheir plans to make sure that allthe metro community halls werebeing utilised for this purpose.Ndoni started dance sport at

Nangoza Jebe Community Hall,then known as the Great Cente-nary Hall in 1984 under the tute-lage of the late Njongi Mbanjwaand Zola Mpongoshe among oth-ers.He left there to start dancing

under Monde Qunta’s AriseSchool of Dance at theRedCross,eSeyisi which he credits for hav-ing made him the professional

dancer that he is today.“This is the institution that

took me from level one to thechampionship level,” said Ndo-ni, adding that since he startedwith his academy, he has takendancers to England, France andthe Netherlands.Ndoni said, “I’ve got dancers

that must go to France, Thailandand Holland as we speak. Theproblem is finance, but we’re notworried, come what may, we’llmake sure that these dancers gooverseas to do what they love todo – dance!”

PORT Elizabeth-based Classical Angels Mu-sic Foundation wants to change the face ofchoral music in Nelson Mandela Bay for thebetter.

The music foundation, based at Mboniselo

Primary School in Motherwell is the brain-child of Unathi Hloyi, a Motherwell lad whospent 10 years in KZN for work and study atDurban University of Technology.During this time, Hloyi had an opportunity

to studymusic and its role in local communitydevelopment. Music, he said, played a hugerole also in economic development and socio-

cultural heritage.With the help of his friends and Nelson

Mandela Metropolitan University (NMMU)Music students, Hloyi is on amission to teachmusic and introduce school choristers to theorchestra.“We’ve identified township schools to start

with our project which we launched at Mbon-

iselo Primary School with seven pupils,” saidHloyi, adding that since they started with theyoung musicians, other members of the com-munity joined the recorder classes andmusictheory including voice training.The students range in ages from 9 to 35

years, most of which are learners, tertiary ed-ucation students and unemployed individu-

als.A proudHloyi said his students cannot on-

ly play the recorder, they can also read mu-sic!“In theEasternCape townships you rarely

find choirs singing with orchestra, unlike inother parts of the country,” said Hloyi.He said, “Most of our choirs use piano for

accompaniment. Very few (choirs) use or-chestra, if there is any. We want to changethat through the introduction of the Classi-cal Angels Music Foundation.”According to Hloyi, most of the local con-

ductors use tonic solfa doh re mi but whenone goes to the other side of the country, peo-ple read music through staff notation.“A lotmore people are able to listen tomu-

sic currently, said Hloyi. Most people havea skill to listen but can still not read music.That has to change,” he said.Hloyi thanked Airports Company South

Africa for their sponsorship which keptthem in business. However, he stated thatthey would need more assistance as theyfunded the project from their own pockets.

IRONMAN SA organisers have added theirvoice to that of local businesses who are op-posed to plans to develop a 6km fish farm an-chored off Port Elizabeth’s popular HobieBeach.

They believe the fish farm poses a majorthreat as it will be a magnet for sharks, anda threat tomarine life, eco tourismand invest-ment in the Bay.IronmanSAhas spearheaded anonlinepeti-

tion as part of the campaign to stop the fishfarm.“Our beaches have become an integral part

of Nelson Mandela Bay in terms of tourism,water sport, recreation and the lifestyle ofmany residents,” said IronmanSA spokesper-son Michael Flanagan.“They are one of the city’s biggest attract-

ions and to establish something which willplace this in jeopardy is something we cannottake lightly.We will all be affected should theaquaculture development zone (fish farm) goahead,” said Flanagan.According to a report inTheHerald,Marine

biologist Shirley Parker-Nance warned that

the project could cause the tourism industryto crash, and see pollution on Bay beaches aswell as lead to the International Blue Flag sta-tuses being revoked.She said the abandoned inland fish farm in

Coega – known as the Prawn Farm or SeaArk–was the ideal place to set up a farm in amorecontrolled environment.Flanaganadded, “The effects on the tourism

industry will be significant. This includes theloss of tourism income to the city, visitors andpotentially jobs within the industry.“As a city,wehaveworkedhard to establish

NelsonMandela Bay as thewatersport capitalof Africa and this will undo this work.“Environmentally, there is a threat to the

marine ecosystem and the potential to attractpredators such as sharks to Port Elizabeth’smost popular swimming beaches is high. Thisdoes not bode well for sports events such asIronman and others who make use of theocean and beaches”.The online petition on the website is cur-

rently still open for the public to sign.“We are doing all we can to create aware-

ness,” concluded Flanagan.To sign the petition visit the websitewww.stoppefishfarm.co.za

IT WAS a do-or-die game when Young IdeasbeatShowvillage 5-3 onpenalties after thegoal-less fulltime draw in their SAFA Nelson Man-dela Bay Nedbank Cup eliminations game atMotherwell NU 9 Stadium on Saturday.Both sides played enthralling attacking foot-

ball with the goal keepers pulling brilliantsaves at point blank range.However, Showvillage completed the game

with ten men when their striker AneleNgqunge was given marching orders by thereferee for a late, dangerous tackle.

The red card cost Showvillage because Ideaslooked more dangerous as they piled on morepressure. Then game reached extra time fol-lowing a full tame stalemate.In the penalty shootout Ideaswere the better

side as they beat their opponents 5-3. IkamvaMovers registered a resounding 4-1 victoryover Royal Bucks.
