THE Eastern Cape Department of Educationhas been reported as saying it is going to cutmore than 4 000 teaching post next year be-cause according to its numbers, there are moreteachers in the payroll than are required.

SADTU, the largest teacher organisation onthe other hand, has threatened to strike if theDepartment continued with the plan. Accord-ing to Sadtu, there are still many teachers facedwith overcrowding in the province owing to ashortage of teachers.

)Mzwamadoda Booi of Kwazakhele said, “It isnot for government to decide to cut down onteaching post because there is always a needfor teachers. But again, I don’t think it is rightfor teachers to strike because our chidren willsuffer the consequences.”

) “Government shouldn’t cut down onteaching posts. There are no jobs out there.Where are the retrenched teachers going tofind employment? As parents we are concernedthat should teachers strike, it will destabliseour children’s education ahead of end-of-theyear examinations,” said ThobilePeter of New Brighton.

) VuyisekaMani of KwaDwesi wished that gov-ernment had done a thorough research to comeup with teachers’ numbers because to retrenchteachers while many township schools stillcomplain of the shortage of teachers will notassist education. Said Mani, “We’ve got a highnumber of schools in need of teachers in themetro. The department shouldn’t cut down onteachers, that will take us back to the apartheidyears.”

) “Teachers shouldn’t strike, no matterwhat, because children will suffer at the endof the day,” said Charmell Cramford from Bloe-mendal.

) “Government likes to give wrong num-bers, probably to save money. I hope this is notone example of their poor counting becausechildren will suffer if more teachers are losingtheir jobs,” said Thabisa Njokweni of Algoa Park.

) “Retrenchment is not acceptable. Unem-ployment is already sky-high. For me, govern-ment should do thorough research because Icannot see how there are many teachers re-quired with so many teachers still withoutposts. Or, if there is no money, they had bettercut down on the Ministers’ and Councillors’salaries to pay teachers,” said Zolani Willem fromJoe Slovo.

MEC for Sport, Recreation, Arts and Cul-ture Xoliswa Tom has implored people ofthe province to continue speaking isiXho-sa.

Speaking at the EC Choral Music Associa-

tion Festival at the Nangoza Jebe Hall lastSaturday, the MEC said while she enjoyedlistening to people speaking and singing indifferent languages like English, it was,however, important that the vernacular isspoken.

“In the 2011 Census it was found that thenumber of people in the province who spoke

isiXhosa had dropped to 76,3% from the83,3% of the previous census.. That meanswe are no longer speaking the language,”said MEC Tom, adding that she hoped shewould not be construed as being againstpeople speaking English.

“Our language is our culture and cultureis the essence of who we are. If we lose our

culture, we’ll lose who we are!”“You’ll find in some schools isiXhosa

Language period clashes with Mathemat-ics. That is wrong! You can’t force childrento choose between their home language andMaths, a very critical discipline in educa-tion. We must encourage our children tospeak isiXhosa, at home and at school.”

MECwants people to speak isiXhosa, or the language dies

THREE schools in Nelson Mandela Bay areset to benefit from a generous donation byindustrial gas company, Air Products.

The schools, Mngcunube Primary Schoolin KwaNobuhle, Nomathamsanqa PrimarySchool in Despatch and Seyisi PrimarySchool in Kwazakhele, require various es-sential assets – which include desks, chairs,carpets, sick beds, and kitchen utensils – tobetter the learners’ learning conditions.

Air Products Eastern Cape Area SalesManager, Pierre Fourie,recently handed thecheque for R41 600 overto Community ChestChief Executive, BeulahLumkwana, who will en-sure the hand-over to thethree schools. “Throughthe Community Chest wecame to know about theurgent needs of theseschools, and we simplyhad to assist. As a compa-ny we believe that giving

back to the communities in which we liveand operate is essential,” said Fourie.

According to Lumkwana the CommunityChest is involved in these schools to assistin sourcing equipment that will ensure anenvironment that is conducive for learn-ing. “Currently, these learners sit on theground with no chairs or carpets, and thosewho prepare food for the children have nokitchen utensils to work with. We thankAir Products for their donation that willmake a remarkable difference to the learn-ing conditions of these learners,” said Lum-kwana

MEMBERS of the South African Police Service(SAPS) in conjunction with the SA BankingRiskInformationCentre (SABRIC)arewarningmembers of the community and customers tonot become victim to robbers.

The SAPS in the Uitenhage Cluster launchedan awareness campaign last Tuesday to warnespecially thosewho carry cash to and from thebank to deposit or withdraw money, and to bewary of their surroundings in the fight againstorganised crime.According to police spokesperson Warrant

Officer Gerda Swart, members of the SAPSstarted the festive season with the distribution

of pamphlets in the CBD last Tuesday.“Members informed the community of spe-

cific crime tendencies and how to avoid becom-ing a victim of crime,” said W/O Swart.To avoid crime, SABRIC Chief Executive Of-

ficer (CEO) Kyalami Pillay advised customersto use alternativeways to bank, adding that thebank themselves were willing to advise clientson different banking solutions.This includes individuals, small businesses

and saving clubs like stokvels, according toPil-lay.“We advise bank customers to consider alter-

nativemethods of banking, suchasusing inter-net or ATM transfers as opposed to carryingcash,” said Pillay.It is important that customers are extra care-

fulbecause thesecriminalswork insyndicates.Once the perpetrators identify their victims,

they pass on the information to their co-perpe-trators, who are usually in the vicinity of thebank, and who in turn rob the individuals, ei-ther at their place of business, home, or enroute to their destination.While there is a decline of 7.4% in the statis-

tics of these robberies for the period JanuarytoSeptember 2013,with 1 003 incidents opposedto the 1 083 incidents in the sameperiod in 2012,Pillay believes these numbers still remainhigh.Warrant Officer Swart said there would be

specific actions hosted in the various policingareas of the Uitenhage Cluster to ensure thatnobody become a victim of such crimes.

GOSPEL artist NombusoMakasiof Dynamic Gospel Group is setto release her 10-track DVD,Andiboni, at Babs MadlakaneHall in KwaNobuhle this comingSaturday, October 26.

The event will feature groupslike Blaze Jazz Band, Unathi, theBomb, and many more. Admis-sion will be R40 at this eventwhich will start at 2pm.Nombuso says she will not be

deterred by the fact that postersfor her concertwhich shehas putup around the city, have beenvandalised.“I have recently discovered

that the posters that I put up topromote my event have beensprayed. The event will still con-tinue, nomatterwhat. This is thework of Satan and nothing else.It is painful for an event to be sab-otaged in this way because Ispent a lot of money to producethese posters.”“I was born and bred in Uiten-

hage. I came from Johannesburg

where I spent three years pursu-ing music, to plough back intothe Eastern Cape. I am now verydisappointed. I have been letdown by people of my home-town.”Bambo Mbityo, secretary of

the Uitenhage Arts and CultureOrganisation, said, “This is abso-lutely uncalled for. At timeswhen I have my own jazz shows,I put banners and posters upwhen it’s dark outside. I don’twant people toknowwhose eventit is associatedwith because theywould sabotage it by damagingbanners.”Thobile Makasi, president of

the Uitenhage and District Gos-pel Board, also condemned theincident. He said, “We recentlydiscovered that one of ourgroups, Youth in Action’s ban-ners were also damaged by crim-inals. There were holes in thebanners as if they had beenstabbed several times!”“There are cost implications

when it comes to making ban-ners or posters, so we condemnthis in the strongest terms.”

PORT Elizabeth (PE) Opera House in con-junction with Nelson Mandela Choral Asso-ciation (NEMCA) will present a Choral Mu-sic Competition at the PE Opera House thisSunday October 27 from 11 am.

“This is our idea of unearthing and devel-oping choral music in Nelson Mandela Bayin the sameway that we’ve been developingperforming arts like acting, music anddance,” said PE Opera HouseMusic Produc-er Thobela Fibi.Fibi said IzitibiliMusic Competition is the

PE Opera House’s General Manager MondeNgonyama’s ideaofbringing thishistoric in-stitution closer to the people. “We decided towork with an existing structure - NelsonMandela Choral Music Association - whichis also working hard to bring back what hasalways been the love of local residents, cho-ral music,” said Fibi.Unlike the other choral music competi-

tions that look at hymnals that are writtenin scores, this particular competition will,however, entertain Izitibili - that unscoredmusic like folklore, gospel and strugglesongs, said Fibi. “We urge Nelson Mandela

Bay residents to come in droves to support thiswonderful initiative. We are calling people backto their roots. We have been to theWest somuch.Masibuyel’embo mawethu!” pleaded NEMCA

Chairperson Nodoli Rala. Rala said it was in-cumbent upon parents, especially, to come tothe show and support their children. Themoveto bring back choral music to the Bay must be

supported so that choirs will not die as a resultof lack of support.Tickets cost R100 (for 1), R150 (for 2) and R200

(for 3) and are available at the door.

But at home they

don’t have this amount of money,” saidNyameko.“We are concerned that the three who

come from the townships are not going tomake the trip. They come from poor back-grounds with their families not being able toafford to pay for their transport and accom-modation,” said Elethu, adding that trans-port alone was estimated at around R5 000.“We’d also like to raise a little bit more for

each to get pocket money,” said Pumela.“We’re very proud of Nyameko’s achieve-

25 iPads, over and above the computers,” ac-cording to Department spokesperson Bu-siswa Mlandu.Mlandu said the schools’ connectivity pro-

granmme is part of her Department’s man-date to ensure rural development through ac-cess to Information Communication Techno-logies.The DeputyMinister urged the schools and

communities to look well after the comput-ers, adding that nearby schools and commu-nity members could also benefit from usingthe internet.“We would like the school and members of

the community to take ownership of thesecomputer centres. People who seek employ-ment or need any information will use the in-ternet to find assistance,” saidNdabeni-Abra-hams.So far about 42 schools in the province have

been connected in the roll-out Implementa-tion Plan aimed at for this financial year.

Lafarge Moregrove Quarry has beenheavily involved for some years in supply-ing stone for the construction of CoegaHarbour.Following the site experience, the four

schools, Soqhayisa Senior SecondarySchool, Ndyebo Senior Secondary School,Masiphathisane Senior Secondary Schooland Motherwell Senior Secondary Schoolwere invited by Lafarge to take part in adebating competition that would build onsome of the knowledge gained from thequarry visit.“The ability to communicate your views

clearly and present a strong line of argu-ment is a tremendous asset for furthering

your careers,” said Master of Ceremoniesfor the debating event, Lafarge’s CountryCommunications Manager, CharleneLamb.In the first round of the competition, So-

qhayisa Senior Secondary School compet-ed against Ndyebo Senior SecondarySchool, debating the motion: “The aggre-gates and concrete production environ-ment is suitable for women”.Masiphathisane Senior Secondary Schooland Motherwell Senior Secondary Schooldebated, “It is possible to produce aggre-gate in an environmentally friendly way”.The winners then debated the controver-sial motion, “Nationalisation of minesshould be implemented”, to decide theoverall winner.Lafarge’s Transformation Manager, Es-

ther Seabi, said “the students had to re-search the topics and develop strong well-reasoned arguments. Learning to stand upand confidently present these argumentsin English was a valuable training thatwill benefit them in all walks of life.”“We wanted to make a meaningful dif-

ference with our CSI programme and thismeant partnering with more than oneschool,” commented Seabi.

EASTERN Cape women have made greatstrides in South African boxing which is stillmale dominated.

Since the South African Boxing Act of 2001allowed the female species into the ring as box-ers, having made their mark as ring officialsand promoters, Eastern Cape women havegraduatedasWorldBoxingChampions,Catego-ry A Promoters and A-list ring officials.

“Whenwomendo something, theydo it to thebest of their ability,” said Boxing South Africa(BSA) Nelson Mandela Bay Service ProviderMthunzi Mapitiza.

Mapitiza has groomed Noni Fukuthwa, theTop 10 Ring Official in the country who cameto the sport in the late 1990s.

Fukuthwa was following in the footsteps ofthe internationally recognised Siya Vabaza-Booi of East Londonwhowas a rose among thethorns in the fisticuffswhen itwasstillnot fash-ionable for women to be referees and judges.

Vabaza-Booi has been recognisedwithmulti-ple-awards for her stirling performances in-cluding the coveted BSA Ring Official Award.

In the late 1980s and early 1990s there weretwo women associated with boxing and theywerePortElizabethRingsideDoctorsMayMag-wayi and Phumela Fatman.

ThencamePortElizabeth’sGladys“Noforty”Tsenene (72) who has been promoting boxing

since 1995.“Morewomenmust come to the sport. Let us

support our children who love the sport. I amoldnowandwould like to seemorewomenpro-moting boxing,” said Tsenene whose RainbowBoxing Promotions had a tournament twoweeks back.

Tsenene remains the only woman in thecountry to bag BSA’s Promoter of the YearAward (2010), Eastern Cape Premier’s Awardfor Excellence (Boxing) in 2011 and EllerinesEastern Cape Promoter of the Year Award(1998).

Tsenene was followed by PE born and Gau-teng-based Mbali “Don Queen” Zantsi whoheads Showtime, an international boxing pro-motions company.

Like Zantsi, Gauteng-based former SA Wel-terweight champion Rita Mrwebi is from Mt-hatha in the Eastern Cape.

Noni “She Bee Stinging” Tenge became thefirst South African Female to win the highlyrecognised IBF Welterweight diadem (whichshe later lost unfortunately outside the ring) toadd to her WBF title followed by the currentchampion Unathi “Showtime” Myekeni whowon the WBF Junior Featherweight

title.The province is inundatedwith great boxing

talent with SA Champion NomandithiniNdyambo among those to watch. Also in themix are Noxolo Makhanavu, Nozwelethu Ma-thosi and KO specialist Nozipho Bell.
