The Nelson Mandela Bay Arts Council (NMBAC), which held a media briefing on Tuesday, said they would support their art- ists should they choose to boycott and pro- test against upcoming festivals. The press conference was held to intro- duce the NMBAC’s Creative Economic Pro- grammes Investment Strategy. NMBAC Dep- uty Chairman, Martin Pram, said they were fed up and they would no longer accept any investment made by the city into any festival which does not develop local talent but rath- er profits people from other provinces or re- gions. In their Creative Economic Programmes Investment Strategy, the NMBAC say, they need R26 million investment by municipali- ty to develop, promote and distribute vari- ous arts and culture programmes. “We will no longer keep quiet and watch money being earned by a few. We will no longer tolerate seeing events where 70% of profits and investment is taken outside of the city. We want to create proper employ- ment for our local artists,” said Pram. Pram, together with the NMBAC Chair- man, Monde Ngonyama, said they had mixed feeling about the upcoming NMB Cultural Festival. They said it was first presented as a Munic- ipal project by Executive Director for Sport, Recreation, Arts and Culture, Noxolo Nqwa- zi, only for them to find out from project di- rector, Anele Mbasane, that the Municipali- ty would have a minimal role in the festival. “We are confused about this festival, espe- cially with regard to the dates of the Cultural Festival as it will clash with the National Arts Festival, a life blood of the Makana Mu- nicipality. We do not understand the mes- sage this festival (cultural festival) is send- ing. “We were hoping the Deputy Mayor, Chip- pa Ngcolomba, would provide leadership on this programme which he unfortunately has not. We will, however, engage with Ngcolom- ba, who has endorsed this festival, to get clarity on this and a few other matters in- cluding local artist involvement. We don’t want a situation were we alienate the Metro from the rest of the province,” said Ngony- ama. Ngonyama said they did not understand the Metro having a minimal role in the cul- tural festival, while the posters distributed at the launch had the logo of the Municipali- ty. Ngonyama said they also felt that the na- tional day celebration could be handled dif- ferently to better accommodate local arts. “The municipality does have the potential to support these programmes. These are painful debates we need to engage in. The Municipality has an outdated policy on events and its funding is subjective with zero fiscal and policy on arts and culture,” said Ngonyama. A frustrated Ngomyama said during the launch of the Mandela Film Festival on De- cember 2014, which promised to showcase 400 films of international standard screened with local films added to the roster, has pro- duced nothing for local development. “The Film festival promised to profile local artists and we are devastated that after sending in our proposals for locally produced films tell- ing local stories, we have heard nothing. Of the 400 films that are said to be screened in the Metro this year, none of them, as far as we know, are from the Metro,” said Ngony- ama. Ngonyama, who is also the General Man- ager at the Opera House, said the Opera House was becoming an urban legend as many promoters claim to have endorsement agreements with the Opera House in the planned festivals. Ngonyama said the NMBAC will have an AGM on May 21, to decide on a new leader- ship and a newly designed structure if needs be. Nqwazi said while she encouraged dia- logue on complaints from the NMBAC, there was a lot that had been done by her office during its short time. “We must understand that the NMBAC is a stakeholder of NMB council and as such, we have regular meetings with them where we table such issues. There is a lot of work to be done but the arts are not only a mandate of local governance but of provincial and na- tional government. “The NMBAC was formed to address these problems and also broadly help artist from across the Metro,” she said.

MORE than 400 Port Elizabeth youngsterstook a stand against crime at the “Freedomfor Safer Youth” event held at the Ikhwezi-lomso High School in Zwide on FreedomDay, April 27.

In the midst of the appalling high levelof crime in Nelson Mandela Bay and thespiralling of xenophobic attacks in someparts of South Africa which could spillover to these shores, the Youth for SaferCommunities (YSC) project was held toraise awareness and support for crime pre-vention in our communities.Pupils from former model C schools, the

Northern Areas, and from townships likeZwide, KwaZakhele, New Brighton andMotherwell had spoken about freedom,said Masifunde extracurricular pro-grammes head, Linda Zali.“Through a discussion panel, debates

and poetry, the pupils celebrated freedomand spoke their minds about xenophobiaand crime,” said Zali.In the main, the YSC debate club dis-

cussed the potential young people had inthe creation of safer schools and communi-ties.“The discussion centred on the xenopho-

bic attacks that foreign nationals havebeen subjected to during the past couple ofweeks. The pupils discussed the role theyas young people have in the eradication ofsuch criminal and violent acts,” said Zali,adding that the day had included high lev-

els of singing, drama, poetry and visualart.“Wehave been empowered to knowwhat

freedom is and how we achieved freedom,that it was not free and that people died forus to be where we are today,” AlexanderHigh School grade 11 pupil Thulani Ndzot-yana, 17, said.She said she was happy and humbled by

the experience of sharing ideas and experi-ences with young people from differentbackgrounds in trying to find solutions tothe problems of South Africa “in order tomake it a better place for all”.Sanelisiwe Dick, 17, of Walmer High

School agreed. “We had a platform as theagents of change to voice what we can doto effect change and make this a betterplace for us and future generations.”Sanelisiwe, who is in matric, has been

with Masifunde since Grade 3.Sanelisiwe said xenophobiawas bad and

had the potential to spoil our good imagein the international community.“The international community will

think thatwe (black people) believewe cansolve our problems throughviolencewhilethat is not the case.”The Freedom for Safer Youth event is an

extension of the Youth for Safer Communi-ties workshops which Masifunde LearnerDevelopment runs in more than 34 highschools across the metro.The purpose of Youth for Safer Commu-

nities is to encourage young people to playa role in the creation of safer schools andcommunities.

YOUNGmembers of the community readingclub in KwaNobuhle had the pleasure ofSABC Umhlobo Wenene FM presenters Si-bongile James and Mbulelo Ngewu readinga story for them.

In line with World Book Day, which wascelebrated on Thursday last week, Nal’ibalihad launched the Children’s Literacy Rightsposter with members of the Sithol’uthandoReading Club at the LoveLife Youth Centrein KwaNobuhle, said Nal’ibali Eastern Capecluster mentor Malusi Puwe, of Motherwell.Puwe said they had invited the radio per-

sonalities to encourage children to love read-ing.“We encourage parents to read for their

children so that they themselves becomereaders andwriters,” said Puwe, adding thatreading was knowledge and knowledge waspower.James,whoisreadingabookonradio, said

reading for children was unlike reading for

people she could not see.“Ihadtochangemyvoicefromtimetotime

and use gestures and facial expressions tohelp my listeners understand the story andbecome part of it,” James said.Ngewu said such initiatives could develop

apool ofwriters in themould of SEKMqhayiand JJR Jobobe, tomention but two. He saidchildrenwhoreadcouldmakeinformeddeci-sions as they were able to sift right fromwrong.“Many organisations and communities

across South Africa are aware of the funda-mental challenge we all face in bringing joyand meaning to print in South African lan-guagestoallourchildren–includingtheveryyoungest,” said Carole Bloch, director of theProject for the Study of Alternative Educa-tion in South Africa, which is driving theNal’ibali campaign.BlochsaidthatatNal’ibali theybelievedall

THE late former sportsminister, Steve Tshwe-te once said youth in sport was youth out ofcrime.

Popularly known as “Mr Fixit”, Tshwete be-lieved the more the youth were involved insport, the more they used their energy crea-tively and found no time to do unsavourythings.And that is exactlywhat the caringmembers

of the community ofHelenvale in theNorthernAreas ofPortElizabethhad inmind inorganis-ing a sports event to engage the youth this Fri-day, May 1.TheHelenvale Football Club and theDepart-

ment of Sport, Recreation, Arts and Culture inNelson Mandela Bay have organised a sportsday to create awareness of drug abuse andgangsterism in the area.“Since its inception30yearsago, theclubhas

been active in the fight against gangsterism inHelenvale,” club spokesman Averit Webber

said.Helenvale FC scribeElridgeMatsimella said

theywanted theyouth toknow that sport couldunite the community and save lives.Theeventwill startwitha5kmfun-run, from

the clubhouse at the bottomof Barcelona, adja-cent to Stanford Road, to theHillcrest PrimarySchool in Ethal Street. It will be followed by afive-a-side soccer tournament at 10am.“The community should know that through

soccer, we can fight gangsterism,”Matsimella said.They were also sending a message to gang

leaders that they did not have a strong hold onthe young boys in the community.Department assistant manager Mwelase

Mboxela said theywerehoping formasspartic-ipation and were aiming at giving young starstheopportunity todevelop themselves throughsport.The initiativewouldpromotegoodwork-ing relations among schools, his departmentand members of the community, he said.Members of the community are urged to

come in droves to support the initiative.

THE freedom to live one’s life without fear ofcrime was the central theme of Freedom Daygatherings on Monday.

The brutal killings lastweek of teacher JaydePanayiotou (29) and Addo farmer Alan Clarke(62) led to a “Heal our Metro” Rally which wasattended by over 1 500 people on the Donkin Re-serve on Monday afternoon.“We wanted to create a space where people

can reconnect with one another as human be-ings,” said one of the organisers, Dean Bid-dulph.He and events organiser Renaldo Gouws ar-

ranged the rally in the space of a few days.“There was no political motive for the rally

or anyone making a profit. With all that hasbeen going on in recent times I felt we are insuch a low place as South Africans and that wehave lost touchwithourhumanity.One justhasto look at social media to see the hostility thatthere is amongcommunities.And Ihad to thinkhard on where to start to make a change,” said

Biddulph.The rally was not only paying tribute to Pan-

ayiotou and Clarke, but also to those who havelost loved ones owing to crime and the wave ofxenophobia currently sweeping across SouthAfrica.According to Biddulph, residents need to

uniteandbegin takingback thecountry inmak-ing it the country that we all want it to be. “Wearebiggerthanrecentevents;wearebetter thanthose who would steal our humanity from us,”said Biddulph.Those who attended the event were encour-

aged to bring along an apple to be donated tocharity.“An apple is symbolic as it is not only some-

thing a pupil would give to a teacher, but alsoof the fact that a farmer was killed,” said Bid-dulph.Another anti-crime campaign held on Mon-

day, was a human chain against crime in theNorthern Areas which is rife with crime, drugabuse and gangsterism.The human chainwas formed along Stanford

Road between Korsten and Booysens Park.

the ward from Monday evening to Thursdaymorning,”WardCllrThembileNkosiyaphantsisaid.He said he had not been forewarned by the

THE Anglican Church and ArthurWellington Methodist Church are pre-senting an interfaith Choir Music Ex-travaganza at the Nangoza Jebe Com-munity Hall in New Brighton on May2.

The innovative music show hadbeen born out of the need for churchesto work together in projects of massmobilisation, said Ncamile Panca ofthe Anglican Church.

“We have also invited the BantuChurch of Christ choir, all in order tospoil church music lovers with choiceunder one roof.”

The main aim of the music extrava-ganza was to see to the improved un-derstanding of the “other” throughmusic.

The churches wanted to share withthe masses how they joyfully ex-pressed their relationship with God inunique ways and also to promote di-versity so as to embrace one another.

Panca said through the event, sup-ported by bishops Bethlehem Nopeceof the Anglican Church, Andile Mbeteof the Methodists and John Bolana oftheBantuChurchofChrist, participat-ing members would gain better under-standing of the important role playedby music at particular times in theirrespective church denominations.

“We want people who love theirchurch choir’s music to be able to en-joy what the other is offering - thatwhich they might not have known.”said Panca, adding that they had alsoorganised a mass choir in which theywould be singing hymns together.

Tickets are selling at R50 each. Theshow will be from 3pm until 8pm.

THE young people of KwaNobuh-le have no reason to loiter in thestreets and do nothing with theirtime after school, says Chris Ka-ma, a young person in charge ofthe Culture Set, a room set asidefor arts and cultural activities atthe LoveLife Youth Centre inKwaNobuhle.He says the Culture Set is

abuzz everyMonday to Thursdaywhen pupils from KwaNobuhleprimary and high schools meetto explore dance, music, dramaand poetry.During a visit to the LoveLife

Centre, Express Indaba saw en-thusiastic young boys and girlssharpening their dance moves tothe beat of thumping music.

“These are the Nakanjani Im-mortal Saints, a hip hop dancetroupe made up of primary andhigh school pupils. They are tak-en through their paces by Mzwa-bantu Falake, a LoveLife Impint-shi, who meets them every Mon-day to Thursday from 3.30pm to4.30pm to practise,” Kama said.He explained that they used

Friday afternoons to showcasetheir dance moves during Love-Life events held at the centre.“We also spend a great deal of

time discussing issues that affectus as young people and we helpeach other with homework anddifficult school projects.”He said the young people, as

the architects of their own fu-

ture, could not say they did notget support as long as the centrewas available to them.The young people said they

were excited about doing music,drama and poetry in English andisiXhosa, but preferred theirmother tongue, isiXhosa, for cul-tural purposes.– NCEBA DLADLA

PARENTSof autistic children should not de-spair - assistance and support are available,says Uitenhage speech therapist Zola Nqo-lase.

Autism can result in a child having com-munication difficulties, being either notable to speak properly or not able to use lan-guage for expression.Through early detection, monitoring and

support, children with autism can grow andbecomeuniversity graduates and specialistsin different fields in life, Nqolase says.She is a coordinator for the LikhanyileiKamva Uitenhage Provincial Hospital-

based parent support group, which is aimedmainly at providing care and support to par-ents of children with autism.“Working as a speech therapist at Provin-

cialHospital, I comeacross childrenwithau-tism. Some are detected early, say at the ageof two and their parents are given assistanceand support, to ensure that they understandtheir children’s condition and help them togrow like any normal child,” she says.However, raising autistic children is not

easy because of their behavioural difficul-ties.Unlike children with a physical disability

for instance, children with autism are noteasily identifiable because they look normalbut act differently.Some parents may think their child is

slow in the development of speech and coor-dination and only realise the child has theconditionwhenheor she is fouryears of age.Nqolashe says they must still be taken to

the clinic or doctor for assessment even atthis age, for it is better late than never.“These children could easily be taken to be

silly and rude, by people who do not under-stand them.Kuthiwaabeva (Theyareaccusedof not listening) and at times they could bethe subjects of hate.”She says the shortage of schools in Nelson

Mandela Bay that accept children with au-tismcompounds the problem, especially fromthe point of view of poor families.“There is no such school in Uitenhage, for

instance.There isQuest inPortElizabethandtwo private schools in Walmer,” said Nqo-

lase.Another problem for autistic children was

not being accepted in society.“People don’t understand them. These chil-

dren are born with the condition. It was nottheir fault.”Nqolase also advises parents of children

with autism to apply for disability grants.The Likhanyile iKamva parent support

group is raising funds to start a day-care cen-tre for autistic children and says it needs sup-port from the public.

UMHLOBO Wenene FM has once againbeen given the nod by the industry, walk-ingawaywith fiveawardsat the 2015MTNRadio Awards.

The ceremony was held at the SandtonConvention Centre two weeks ago and itwas a glitz and glamour affair, where thewho’s who of the radio industry came outin full force.It was not by sheer coincidence that

UmhloboWeneneFMscooped five awardsin this year’s MTN Radio Awards.The popularity of the station was re-

cently brought home to South Africansand the radio fraternity when the stationlost its legendary traditional music DJ,Saba Reginald Mbixane, in a motorbikeaccident in March.Never in the history of radio has anyDJ

had eight memorial services spreadacross the different provinces of SouthAf-rica and a funeral attended by more than8 000 people.This proved the love for Saba Mbixane

and the station that he worked for.On the night of the awards he was hon-

oured for all his achievements and the rolethat he played in the radio fraternity bybeing inducted into the hall of fame. Hisaward was received by his two daughters.Other bigwinners from the stationwere

Zolani Bongco, whowalked awaywith theaward for best sport commentator underPBS stations.

Busisiwe Titi, a 25-year-old who startedoff as a presenter and is now a producerfor the education programmes, received aBright Star award.Sij’ikilanga scooped the award for best

midday show and Amaza Ntshangacouldn’t hide his joy as he collected theaward.Hall of fame inductee and 2014 best

breakfast show presenter Putco Mafaniwas once again announced as the bestbreakfast show DJ in the PBS category.Putco and the breakfast team speak to al-most two million listeners daily.Other shows nominated from the sta-

tionwere the afternoon driveMasigoduke(hosted by Kci, Luks and Zizo), mid-morn-ing show Khanya Gqiyazana (hosted byLulu Haarmans and produced by Khaya-kazi Koto), best music show, Umculo WeJazz (hosted by Elvis Mali), best drama,Ithini nha lento leyo yimfihlelo yobomi(produced by Toffee Zitshu), and bestbreakfast show iBrakfesi Eyondlayo Ek-useni (hosted by Putco Mafani, co-hostMafa Bavuma, Mluleki Ntsabo sport an-chor and produced by Pastor Nozewu)Station manager Phumzile Mnci said,

“We are excited by the continued endorse-ment of the station, the programmes andits presenters by the radio industry inSouthAfrica. It is particularly fulfilling tonote that different programmes and pre-senters are nominated and win everyyear, something that confirms the goodbalance in the station’s programmesschedule and presenter line-up.”
