sistance of the Nelson Mandela MetropolitanUniversity’s Art department and various so-cial facilitators in assisting the women intranslatingeachofMadiba’squotes intoanart

NELSON Mandela Bay Municipality spokes-person Kupido Baron has warned residentsmakingarrangements topayelectricitybills inarrears tokeep their accountsup todateor riskfacing the 90% set-off.

The municipality had implemented this sec-tion of the policy on July 1, 2012 as part of theCredit Control Policy, said Baron.

Baron was saying this in explanation of anenquiry after a New Brighton township resi-dent Edward Makeng (78) was not getting thenumber of units he expected when he boughtelectricity tokens.

“I bought R50 electricity on Saturday, Sep-tember 20 and received only 4.5 electricityunits.Again, onSunday the21st the same thinghappened. I paid R50 and got the same numberof units. But why?” asked the elderly citizen.

Speaking to PE Express Indaba, Makeng ad-mitted to having owed the municipality morethan R2 000 for which he made arrangementsfor R410 down-payments from his old-age pen-sion pay-out.

“I told themunicipality to deduct themoney.In fact I wanted to help myself to reduce what-ever amount had accumulated. But this!” hesaid.

Makeng was not satisfied with the answershe received from the Municipality’s AccountsDepartment, henceheasked thePEExpress In-daba for advice, he said.

“The consumer owed the municipalityR8 523,00 and applied forDebtRelief inOctober2012.Hewasgrantedan80%rite-off (R6 554.76)in November 2012,” said Baron.

Theremainingdebt ofR2 242.14, according toBaron, was under a 12 months’ arrangement,anddown-paymentwasdue to be donewith thecurrent/monthly consumption account. This

happened but Makeng skipped the month ofMarch.

Makeng then made a debit order of R410from the amount from April but still did notmakeup forMarchpayment.And thatwas theproblem.

“According to the New 90% G-block rule, ifan account has an active arrangement or hassince 01 July 2012 had a debt relief arrange-ment/write off but is in arrears at the time theblocking application is running, it will be G-blocked with a 90% set off ,” explained Baron.

He urged the customer to settle the arrearsspeedily to avoid the recurrence of the 90%set-off.

“This should have been communicated to usearlier on. It would have been better if theywarned us, “ said Makeng’s wife Nomhle Ma-keng. She promised to pay the R300 requiredto get their arrangements in

order.

THE African Methodist Epis-copal (AME) in thePEDistrictwill hold an Annual UnityPrayer Breakfast at DG MingChapel in Zwide on Saturday,November 2.

“The breakfast is aimed atraising funds towards the ful-filment of ourBishopRwhym-ica Davids Jr’s Triple E Vi-sion,” said ReverendNomaphelo Myathaza of theorganising committee.

Explaining, Myathaza saidthe three E’s stood for Educa-tion, Evangelism and Eco-nomicDevelopment - the aimsthat needed funds to achieve.

“By evangelism we meanthat we need to win souls forthe building of the kingdom ofGod, and that will be achievedthrough planting new church-es around Nelson MandelaBay,” said Rev. Getrude Kom-

ani, the District’s PresidingElder and member of the or-ganising committee.

With regard to education,the church has identifiedthree women to be trained inEarly Childhood Develop-ment (ECD) as theywant to es-tablish more crèches to bene-fit toddlers in the district.

“We also discovered thatsome of the women, includingmarried women, need assist-ance to finish matric as theyrealise the importance of edu-cation,” said Komani.

“The Lay Organisation ofthe church led by presidentEric Links came up with theidea of raising funds to in-crease the salaries of our pas-tors who are highly qualified,full-time and not getting paidhandsomely,” said Rev Koma-ni, adding that their ultimateaim here was to attract morequalified persons to the pasto-ral call.

Cikizwa Saul from New Brighton in Port Elizabeth. I was diagnosed withasthma and tonsillitis when I was twelve years old. In 2009 I started experi-encing backache and headaches and was later diagnosed with highblood pressure. I went to the clinic for treatment but in 2010 I overheardpeople in the taxi talking about Gotha products. I stopped the taxi atthe Pick n Pay centre and bought Gotha spray and sprayed it on myback and rubbed it in. I also sprayed it in my mouth. At home I washedmy swollen feet and sprayedmy feet.Within three days I experienced nomore pains and my blood pressure was normal. I advise people to buy

Gotha products. They are excellent products and you will see the results.Go forward Gotha Health.

Eunice Tokwe fromKwazakhele in PortElizabeth. Previ-ously I had a jobin a restaurant,but had to stopworking due tomy knee problemand high bloodpressure. I couldn'twalk for longdistances and it wasdifficult to stand for any length of time. Astime passed I heard people on the radiospeaking about Gotha Twin Pack. I visitedone of their branches in Dasi, accompa-nied by my grandchildren. They had tocarry me to the top of the stairs. I boughtthe Twin Pack and Aloe spray. I drank thetablets and drops in the morning andapplied the spray to my knee. I have beenusing Magogotha products now for fiveyears and honestly, I can walk again with-out any assistance and I have no morepains in my knee. I do all the cleaning athomemyself and there is nothing I cannotdo. Furthermore, my sister had blisters onthe back of her ear. I also gave her Gothaspray. Within seven days my sister wascompletely healed and the blisters disap-peared. When I go for checkups even myhigh blood pressure is normal. I will useGotha Products till the end of my life.

My name is Siqhamo Mnyazi.Last year I injuredmy shoulder when I was playing football with friends. Iexperienced a lot of pain; I couldn't even sleep the first night. My radiowas on UmhloboWenene FM and I heard about the Gotha Health prod-ucts. I went to the pharmacy to buy the Magogotha twin pack. I usedthe Aloe spray regularly on my shoulder. It was unbelievable. Just 3weeks and I was healed. I will suggest the Gotha products to any person

with a sport injury.Gotha products work 100%.

I heard people talking about GothaProducts on the radio and early the next morning I took a taxi to aGotha shop in the Pick n Pay centre. I bought a Twin Pack and AloeSpray. I used the products and after just two weeks I could see theimprovement. Then my husband passed away and I didn't haveenough money to buy the products. It was a very stressful time, but

then I bought the Herbal Tea blend and the stress was gone.Forward Gotha! Forward.

VUKANIBANTU Primary School in NU5Motherwell is going to be merged withElufefeni Primary School in NU7 in the 2014academic year, according to the plans of theDepartment of Education.

But the parents of the school could decideotherwise, if they promise to help the pupils’numbers to grow.Vukanibantu principal AmandaNtsumpa,

who was honoured with the Best Teacher forChange Award recently for turning theschool around in terms of its condition,school-governance and the pupils’ perform-ance, said the merger was communicated toher in a meeting held at the Port ElizabethDistrict office last week.“The Department informed me and mem-

bers of the SGB of the decision to merge ourschool with Elufefeni Primary, and weagreed in principle,” said Ntsumpa.Since she took-over the reigns as the head-

mistress, Ntsumpa improved the school’s in-frastructure.“We now have 555 pupils compared to the

129 I started the school with. The staff-com-plement has increased by five teachers whowere otherwise identified for redeploy-ment.”She leaves behind a legacy. Everybody

who comes in to the school can see the effortsof the children in framed photos in the foyer.The framed pictures have subtitles that

speak about achieving successes through

hard work as defined in the school’s new vi-sion and mission she crafted with the SGB.Ntsumpa will this week call upon the par-

ents of the school to inform them of the de-partment’s plan.This mother of two was, however, con-

cerned that the vandalism that her school suf-fered, destroyed any semblance of hope in theschool lasting another 10 years. Computers inthe administration block as well as taps, ceil-ings, electric wires, toilet appliances andwindows have been stolen and vandalised.“When the MEC takes the decision to

merge two schools it is always after a longprocess of watching developments in theschool. And, this is mostly after the pupils’numbers continued to dwindle,” said Provin-cial Education Spokesperson Mali Mtima.According to Mtima, the department takes

into consideration the curriculum of thenearby school and check the feasibility of themerged schools becoming a feeder to thenearby school in the upper phase, in this casea high school.Moving learners fromone school to the oth-

er could require the provision of scholar-transport, according to Mtima.“But it is after consultation with the teach-

ers unions, the school management, mem-bers of staff and the community at large thatsuch a decision is taken,” said Mtima.He said the matter is first to be published

in the government gazette where the stake-holders will be given three months to airtheir views and if no objection is recorded,then the schools will be merged.

Chain Management official, Tyat-ya pointed out, however, that itwas not the first time that he trav-elled abroad.Explaining, he said he was first

invited as an honoured guest inParis, France during the JudoWorld Championships in 2008.“The experience in Brazil has

been overwhelming. It has beenhighly informative. I’ll treasure itfor the rest of my life,” said senseiTyatya who joined the sport at Ho-za Community Hall in New Bright-on under sensei Themba Mazama-na in 1971.In 1980 Tyatya was under the tu-

telage of Des Westernburg who “il-legally” trained blacks in the citycentre - as racial mix was not ac-ceptable at the time, he remi-nisced.

Since then, Tyatya was hookedon thegame inwhichhewonmanyaccolades and national champion-ships but could not get selection torepresent his country owing to theapartheid past.During his involvement in Judo,

an overjoyed Tyatya said, NelsonMandela Bay has produced nation-ally acclaimed Judo instructorslike Sondisa Magajana andPhindile Ntengu, to mention justtwo.Sensei Tyatya believes Judo in-

stills discipline among its partici-pants.It keeps the childrenout of crime

and out of jail, he said, adding thathe hoped the Eastern Cape govern-ment would seriously considersponsoring the development of Ju-do.

South African Football Association (SAFA)acting technical director Fran Hilton-Smithhas hailed the COPA Coca-Cola as one of thegreat success stories among the country’sdevelopment initiatives.

Hilton-Smith is a globally respected figurein the work that she does for SAFA and FIFAin helping to develop not only young players,but coaches too.Her role as a FIFA coaching instructor

takes Hilton-Smith around the world, expos-ing her to many different development plat-forms, and ensuring her status as one ofSouth Africa’s leading football ‘brains’.Having been entrusted with developing a

blueprint for the future of the game in thecountry, she believes that COPA Coca-Colahas a vital role to play in uncovering ournext generation of stars.“It is crucial that we have tournaments

such as COPA Coca-Cola that allow ouryoung players to compete at a high level anda broader understand of what it is like toplay in competitive football,” Hilton-Smithsaid.Hilton-Smith said,“At this age you want

young players to learn about the pressure ofplaying in big tournaments like the COPACoca-Cola, and to gain the mental strength

that comes with that. I have always main-tained that, for our players to ‘compete’ onthe world stage, we need to measure theirabilities against their peers from an earlyage and COPA Coca-Cola gives them thatchance.”Hilton-Smith has watched the tourna-

ment unfold this year and has been im-pressed with what she has witnessed. In heropinion it is at Under-15 level where you be-gin to teach players new things. “When youare young, football is just about fun and en-joyment, but by the time you reach a certainstage, you want to be teaching these kidstechnical awareness, health and active life-style, which is absolutely crucial.“Schools football is an area that needs

more focus; we should have our schoolsplaying on a national level all the time. CO-PA Coca-Cola fills that desperate need at themoment, and is very important for us. Play-ers get scouted from the tournament for theacademies at PSL clubs, so it is a big step-ping-stone to a professional career,” he said.SAFA have recently launched a national

league for Under-13 and Under-15 girls andboys that are in its first year of operationand will be expanded in the near future.The 2013 COPA Coca-Cola® provincial fi-

nals are well under way around the country,another chapter in the rich history of a tour-nament that has already produced top local

stars such as the Orlando Pirates duo of Hap-py Jele and Andile Jali, as well as KaizerChiefs winger Mandla Masango.Those youngsters who catch the eye of the

COPA Coca-Cola scouts stand the chance of

being part of the International COPA Campin Brazil next year, where theywill mixwiththeir peers from around the world in a once-in-a-lifetime chance to train and play undersome of the best youth coaches in the world.
