KSD TVET COLLEGE: STUDENTS RUSH TO CATCH UP ON WORK

College classes resume LUVO CAKATA

S

TUDENTS at King Sabata Dalindyebo TVET College’s Zimbane Campus are facing a tough catch-up plan if they are to pass their final examinations, which commence on November 5.

This is due to several weeks of disrupted learning at the campus as students boycotted classes demanding, among other things the procurement of sanitary towels for the students, building and maintenance of ablution facilities on their campus and the assistance of students with practical placements.

Students also complained about the alleged

delay in the issuing certificates.

KSD College communications and marketing manager, Zigqibo Kahla, said, following a meeting between the college management and student representatives on October 10, they reached agreements on key issues and resolved to return to classes immediately.

“The meeting resolved on a number of issues that were bones of contention between management and students and we are happy that the students have decided to go back to classrooms as the boycotting of classes has caused students to fall behind in their respective syllabuses,” said Kahla.

He further said that the college had already begun to procure sanitary towels.

As part of the catch-up plan, students will now attend weekend classes as the college needs to submit their year marks (DP) to the Higher Education and Training Department by October 25.

The college is also planning an information session day soon so that they can be able to explain some of the misunderstandings that caused the class boycott in the first place.

On the issue of a delay in issuing certificates, Kahla said that this was caused by instances where a student received practical training which did not correspond with the course they were doing and subsequently did not get credited for that training.

SRC member Solomzi Sompetha also expressed happiness that classes were resuming.

Libode matrics admitted to hospital REPORTER ABOUT 186 matric learners from Tutor Ndamase High School in Libode were admitted at St Barnabas Hospital in Ntlaza due to stomach problems last week.

Education Department spokesperson, Malibongwe Mtima, confirmed that the learners were all discharged on Friday.

The stomachaches were thought to be caused by the food the learners had eaten.

Upon hearing about this, the Eastern Cape Department of Education’s head of department, Themba Kojana, working with the district, assembled a multidisciplinary team to investigate the matter.

“The affected learners were a group of Grade 12s from the same school who were in the second week of doing revision.

“The investigating team will report to the district and to me with recommendations,” said Kojana.

He appealed for calm in light of this incident. He emphasised that the department was handling the matter.

“We would like to treat the matter with the sensitivity it deserves and call upon all citizens to assist and report these matters should they discover any of it.”

POLICE officers from Willowvale are appealing to anyone who have any information about the whereabouts of Yesem Ntshikila (80), who went missing on September 11, this year.

Accident leaves 12 people dead REPORTER MEC for Transport, Safety and Liaison, Weziwe Tikana, has expressed her shock and sadness over the 12 people who died following a vehicle crash on Sunday.

The incident occurred at approximately 5pm on the R411 between Mqanduli and Coffee Bay when a white Toyota Bakkie (with canopy) overturned.

According to the statement issued by the department, the bakkie was carrying about 15 people. It is alleged that 11 people were killed instantly, including a minor girl, while four others were transported to Zithulele Hospital in a critical condition.

The 12th person died in hospital.

It is suspected that speeding may have been the main contributing factor as the driver allegedly failed to control his vehicle on a sharp curve. He then lost control and the vehicle left the road.

“As a department we are saddened by this incident and we plead with all road users to exercise caution to avoid the senseless killing of people on our roads.

We send our deepest condolences to the bereaved families and wish those in hospital a speedy recovery,” said Tikana.

She added that the vehicle crash investigators were still combing the scene for more clues regarding the exact circumstances surrounding the incident.

Students concerned about unaccredited course HOSEYA JUBASE WALTER Sisulu University Nelson Mandela Drive campus students, who are doing their Bachelor of Science degree in prosthetics and orthotics, have raised their concerns about a report that their course is not accredited at the university.

One of the students doing medical prosthetics and orthotics said other health science students heard last year October, after attending a curriculum review in East London, that the course was not accredited.

“After receiving these allegations of an uncredited course, we immediately called our board for clarity which then told us we should relax and not panic.

“We were very disturbed, but we managed

to relax as the board said they were dealing with the matter,” the student, who wished to remain anonymous, said.

“I am very traumatised now and the most painful of this is that we heard about it in public.”

In August this year, students boycotted classes for more than three weeks after receiving a report from Pretoria that the course was not accredited and students had to be given their money to go back home.

“We are the primary stakeholders of the university; we are very disappointed in how the university handled the matter,” the student said.

It was also alleged that the university tried to negotiate with the Durban University of Technology (DUT), but they never gave feedback to the students who were affected.

The students said they didn’t even know if DUT would agree for them to graduate at their university.

“If DUT agreed to take us to graduate with their students, how can we be sure that the certificate will be valid and whether 100% of our modules we did here at WSU would be accepted there?”

An emotional student, who is part of the first group who were scheduled to be graduating next year, said, “What will happen to us after we wasted four years working hard?”

It is alleged that the university has been offering this course for more than seven years without following the proper procedure or being authorised by the Department of Higher Education and Health Professional Council of South Africa.

SANCO visits family after horror murder BABALWA NDLANYA THE members of South African National Civic Organisation (SANCO) in the Nyandeni sub region, in Libode, visited the surviving relatives of three family members who were shot and killed in their home at Mafini locality in Libode during a robbery, last week.

Novangeli Nomqonde (38) was in her spaza shop when the robbers attacked her. Fezile Nomqonde (40) was sitting with his friends inside the shop while their cousin, Zalisile Nomqonde (45), was sleeping in the bedroom which is also inside the shop.

All of them would be laid to rest at their home on Saturday, October 20.

The father of the deceased, Tuni Nomqonde (76), said he was in his bedroom when the incident happened.

“I was informed by my other son that his brother, Fezile, was shot but I did not know that the incident happened inside my premises.

“When I rushed outside to see what had happened, I found him in front of the main door of the shop; his sister, Novangeli, was at the counter and Zalisile was

next to the door of the bedroom inside the spaza shop,” said Nomqonde.

He said, according to the witnesses, a man who was armed with a firearm entered the shop and demanded money from Novangeli. After she gave it, the man continued demanding cellphones which were being charged inside the shop. Novangeli said the phones belonged to her neighbours. Her answer allegedly led the perpetrator to shoot her.

“When Fezile saw that his sister had been shot, he tried to close the door, not knowing that there was another perpetrator who was standing on the steps and who shot him in the head.

“When their cousin, Zalisile, tried to investigate what was going on, he was also shot dead on the spot.”

Nomqonde said his heart was bleeding because the perpetrators were still roaming around, as no one had been arrested regarding this incident. He said it was hard for them even to sleep because of what happened to his children.

What is worse they were shot in their home.

SANCO chairperson, Zandisile Mxokozeli, said they were very shocked about this incident, which is why they decided

Education spokesperson, Lunga Ngqengelele, said the department was aware of this unaccredited WSU course.

“We don’t know how this happened, but we will hold those responsible accountable.”

Ngqengelele said the department was still in negotiations with the council and WSU management. “It is unfortunate that this happened to such a historically big university, especially to poor rural students whose parents sell cattle and sheep to make sure their children are attending university.”

Meanwhile, WSU spokesperson Yonela Tukwayo confirmed the report, stating that the institution was dealing with the matter.

“We haven’t had any students graduate.

The first group of students is supposed to complete the course at the end of this year,” said Tukwayo.

to visit the family. Mxokozeli said they visited the family to give moral support and to hold a prayer session just to show love to the family.

“It seems as if our village is tormented by crime because this is not the first incident in this locality. A driver was shot and killed last year but no one was arrested. Even in this incident it seems as if no one would be arrested because it’s been some days now since the incident, but nothing is happening,” he said.

He added that even in the village, the community members were not safe.

Police spokesperson, Captain Dineo Koena, said they were still following all leads that could lead to the arrest of the suspects.

“No one has been arrested yet but we are working hard to ensure that the perpetrators are arrested,” said Koena.

SOS Children’s Village in urgent need of help LUVO CAKATA SOS Children’s Village, situated at Sidwadwa in Mthatha, is in dire need of help with renovations to their children’s village houses, which are falling apart as a result of lack of maintenance due to lack of funds.

The centre, which currently shelters 82 orphaned and abandoned children, is now appealing for help from the Eastern Cape community.

The village has a total of 15 houses, which urgently need renovations as they have not had major renovations since they were first built in 1997. This is according to SOS Children’s A ceiling which has been damaged by a leaking Village Mthatha project manager, Barrington roof.

PHOTOS: LUVO CAKATA Makunga.

“Our houses are full of cracks, the ceilings these challenges pose both safety and health are falling and the doors are old and worn out; risks to the children,” said Makunga.

When Mthatha Express visited SOS Village we also need fencing around the centre and

last week, the cracks in the walls were clearly visible, some doors had fallen off and the ceiling was damaged by the roof leaking when it rained.

Makunga said what was worse was the cutting of funding entirely from the parent SOS Children’s Village in the United Kingdom in 2010, as the funding went a long way to covering the operational needs for the centre, including minor maintenance.

The centre is now calling on everyone from businesspeople, community organisations, philanthropists and individuals to contribute in any way possible to ensuring that the centre continues to shelter the vulnerable children under its care in safe and habitable houses by making these urgent renovations possible.

Makunga said according to their estimations the costs of renovations will be R65 000 for each house. Anyone who wishes to donate can contact Barrington Makunga on 047 537 5064.

MEC hands over new house to tornado victim BABALWA NDLANYA A WOMAN from Mqhekezweni locality in Qunu couldn’t hold back her tears as the MEC for Human Settlements, Mlungisi Mvoko, officially handed over her fourroomed house, after her one-roomed house was destroyed by a tornado.

Nolizwi Mbebe (44) said she was sharing her one-roomed house with 10 siblings and her three children.

“When my room was destroyed by the tornado I was forced to move to my neighbour because we did not have a place to live,” said Mbebe.

She depends on the social grant of her

three children. Mbebe said she was speechless about what the department did for her. Another beneficiary, Nomva Mhlana (91), who is living alone, said she did not know that one day she would own a house.

“I am living alone here because my children are in Cape Town and they don’t support me at all. I am speechless about what the department did for me because really this is too much for me.”

Mvoko said they handed over 10 homes to destitute families including those in Qunu.

“We are appealing to beneficiaries to know that selling our houses is illegal and we had decided to work together with

the local municipalities to ensure that they fight the behaviour of people who are selling RDP houses,” said Mvoko.

Mvoko said no one was allowed to run a spaza shop, tavern or day care centre from an RDP house.

“People who are not following our rules would be arrested because this is not acceptable at all. That is why we have told these beneficiaries what they should not do,” said Mvoko. ; Nolizwi Mbebe from Mqhekezweni locality in Mthatha was overcome with emotion when she narrated her pain at losing her oneroomed house.

PACTOA president, Zamuxolo Wiseman Mkrazuli, said the main objective of the organisation was to fight corruption and fraud in government organisations and institutions.

PACTOA is already in a court battle with ECDC over the ownership of the buildings.

PACTOA claimed that earlier this year, ECDC passed a decision to evict residents, which was an illegal decision that gave local gang groups the right to occupy these buildings.

“We are sick of corruption in these buildings.

Government officials removed innocent poor people from these buildings and allowed criminals to take over and we are not going to allow that,” said Mkrazuli.

He added that they took a resolution that only needy and unemployed people would occupy these buildings. “As we speak, PACTOA has already placed a number of unemployed young people in the buildings,” he said.

Asked whether their decision of forcefully replacing people in these buildings was not ille-

gal, Mkrazuli said, “I don’t want us to use the word illegal because the ones who have made an illegal decision are those who are doing corrupt activities and evicting innocent people.”

“We are not inciting any violence or doing any illegal things by placing these poor people.

“People are being raped and killed because there is no safety. They failed to maintain the buildings and the roofs are leaking,” he said.

According to the organisation president there are more than 100 buildings targeted by the PACTOA in Mthatha alone. He said they have consulted government surrounding their grievances but government failed to listen to them.

“ECDC is not benefiting, instead only individuals are earning thousands of rand through these buildings,” said Mkrazuli.

He said they are going to focus on farmers, firms and government flats, ensuring that workers exercise their rights.

One of the residents placed by PACTOA in the ECDC building in Mthatha, Mfezeko Gebuza from Springs, said, “I started living here in January, this year after moving around looking a place to stay, surprisingly I was approached by a PACTOA member who organised the room that I am staying in right now,” said Gebuza.

Gebuza who is currently seeking for a job said he is 100% supporting PACTOA’s decision.

MTHATHA EXPRESS | THURSDAY 18 OCTOBER 2018

Municipality holds ‘public participation’ week BABALWA NDLANYA MEMBERS of the Eastern Cape Provincial Legislature visited the King Sabatha Local Municipality in Mthatha to conduct a public participation week in Mqanduli, last week.

The purpose of the visit was to update the communities regarding the petitions they had brought forward during the previous public engagement last year.

The previous engagement was held in Port St Johns in October, last year. In this meeting government departments were given a chance to respond to the petitioners.

The member of the Eastern Cape Province Legislature, Tamara Xhanti, said the community members had forwarded their petitions as they were not happy about some of the service delivery in their areas.

“We came here to ask the departments to respond whether they had managed to solve those issues or not. We are going all over the Eastern Cape all the time because we are serving our people,” said Xhanti.

Among the complaints a lot of people were raising were the access roads that are not maintained, the lack of dipping tanks and the fencing of fields in their areas, among other things.

“After our officials received these petitions, they made a follow up by speaking to the relevant departments. But now we decided to come and sit down with the petitioners to ensure that they get the feedback they wanted.”

The community members were also given a chance to raise their problems and were advised to write petitions to and sent them to their local municipalities and in the legislature.

Among the problems that were raised was the issue of the Willow Technical High School in Mqanduli.

The principal, Mandisa Sihawu, said the school was facing a big challenge because there were no classrooms and the temporary structures they were using were not in good condition.

Sihawu appealed to the Department of Education to assist them. Responding to this problem, the spokesperson for the Department of Education, Malibongwe Mtima, said the department was working hard to ensure that all learning and teaching were done in proper classrooms.

“It’s unfortunate that we cannot finish this overnight but the department is doing its best to solve the problem of the infrastructure,” said Mtima. He added that the department needed R7,2 billion for infrastructure, but gets only R1,48 billion per annum.

One of the community members from Upper Ngqwara in Mqanduli, Zizile Mthwa, said they hoped that the departments would attend to their complaints now and not wait for them to send them to the members of the provincial legislature.

“We are very happy because if this can happen really we can be assisted without delay,”said Mthwa.

New political party for 2019 elections LUVO CAKATA NEWLY formed African Transformation Movement (ATM) interim chairperson in the Eastern Cape Veliswa Mvenya has warned political parties not to underestimate their newly formed party ahead of the 2019 general elections.

African Transformation Movement Eastern Cape chairperson Veliswa Mvenya with party supporters.

Mvenya says she was overwhelmed by the warm reception she had received from people as she is currently crisscrossing the province introducing the party to potential members and supporters and she is confident that the party will surprise many come next year’s elections.

Asked about her own decision to join the party, Mvenya, who was a prominent member of the Democratic Alliance for more than a decade, said ATM’s values of peace, ubuntu, transformation, servant leadership and accountability really resonated with her.

“If you look at the values of ATM they reflect what every leader should represent but sadly that is not the case as the country is cursed with corrupt leaders, a country where there is no peace and people are suffering because of social ills such as crime and poverty,” said Mvenya.

Mvenya said their movement was formed by church leaders and stood for servant leadership that was accountable to the masses and their policies would be guided by these values.

ATM is scheduled to launch an Mthatha regional structure at a yet to be confirmed venue on Saturday, October 20

‘Thuma Mina’ to improve lives at Umzimvubu REPORTER IN his inaugural State of the Nation address, President Cyril Ramaphosa quoted the song Send Me, by the late, great musician, Hugh Masekela.

In doing so he inspired South Africans with the themes of self-sacrifice, individual responsibility and the importance of personal change in mind-sets. It is through this initiative that more than 4 000 residents are yet to benefit from the ongoing Send Me programme in KwaBhaca and EmaXesibeni.

This after Umzimvubu Local Municipality recently handed over a series of projects to local contractors during various community engagement sessions which were part of the Send Me programme.

The initiative is said to have more than R30 million in total set aside to improve the lives of local residents.

members, Mayor Bulewa Mabengu said residents from Marwaqa village would now gain access to basic services and facilities, pending completion of the bridge yet to be constructed. She further said 300 residents from the surrounding community would benefit from the 2km access road which would be linked to the bridge.

“The programme has brought joy to residents at Silindini village, a village, which utilises a wooden cable cart to cross a fierce river is now at the helm of a newly constructed bridge.

“The R8 million project is set to take eight months and will create adequate job opportunities to local residents,” said Mabengu.

The mayor added that 14 projects worth R30 million had been handed over to local contractors under the Send Me initiative.

“The NDP emphasises the need for South Africans to unite around a common goal, ensure citizens are active in their own development, and build a capable and developmental state,” she concluded.

Holy Cross wins Eastern Cape Business Games

REPORTER EVERY year, Grades 10 and 11 learners from around the province are given the opportunity to participate in their province’s annual Business Development Games.

A total of 117 learners from 11 schools took part in this year’s Eastern Cape games and Mthatha’s Holy Cross High School claimed top spot and proved that entrepreneurship is alive and well in the province.

This year marked the 17th year that the country’s learners have put their business acumen to the test thanks to the Business Development Games, a school initiative brought to learners by the South African Institute of Chartered Ac-

countants (SAICA) and Coronation. The games, which are played using the world-renowned Commercium board game, sees participating schools competing against each other as their learners tackle real-world business situations to make the most money for their businesses.

SAICA’s senior executive of transformation and growth, Gugu Makhanya, said for young people to realise their full entrepreneurial potential and contribute to the greater economy, companies must be active in moulding their talent, skills and ideas from a young age.

“This is why SAICA and Coronation invite more than 1 000 learners from around the country to participate in the games every year,” said Makhanya.

Commenting on why the games were such an

important part of SAICA’s annual school projects, Makhanya said, “With youth unemployment in the country standing at 38.8%, SAICA uses this, and other projects, to nurture the next generation of job creators by sparking their entrepreneurial spirit at a young age.”

Coronation’s chief executive officer, Anton Pillay, said with initiatives like the Business Development Games, they empower learners with the right skills and experiences in preparation for when they make the leap into the real world.

“With such a high youth unemployment rate, supporting learners in this way is critical to helping them rise above the challenges they face when they leave school, giving them the best chance of success,” said Pillay.

Lauding the efforts of all the participants, Makhanya said, “SAICA would like all the learners to know what a great achievement it is to be chosen to take part in the games.

“It shows that you are a top achiever when it comes to maths, an essential gateway subject no matter what you want to study and a vital skill for anyone who wishes to be an entrepreneur when they leave school.

“To the learners from the winning school, well done on proving just how well you understand the link between financial decision making and ethical business acumen.

“It will help you make your future businesses successful one day. We can’t wait to see what you do with your lives once you matriculate and enter the business world,” said Makhanya.

Kwikspace provides education infrastructure in Eastern Cape REPORTER KWIKSPACE has been actively involved in contributing to educational infrastructure facilities’ development in the Eastern Cape.

Primarily, an agricultural and industrial province, aging prefabricated school buildings in several of the province’s districts are being demolished to make way for brick and mortar-constructed replacements – a 24 to 30 month process.

To ensure that learning continues unabated, Kwikspace was contracted by the Eastern Cape Education Department to provide interim modular classrooms to accommodate more than 1 700 learners, as well as offices and other necessary infrastructure for seven schools.

In another, almost concurrent, educational infrastructure project, Kwikspace was contracted by the Coega Development Corporation to provide appropriate and adequate school structures for 300 learners in a R7.8 mil-

lion project called the Zamukhanyo Farm School located near Stutterheim.

Kwikspace mobile structures replaced the dilapidated rented farm building used by the school for a number of years.

Zamukhanyo School now comprises eight 7x9m classrooms with lighting, plug points, blackboards and pin boards. It also consists of a fully functioning kitchen with amenities, administration block with appropriate electrification, a Grade R classroom and ablution facilities, paved assembly and parking areas.

The area dedicated to the Grade R structure also received a jungle gym. All earthworks formed part of the contract, as did civil, electrification and water and sanitation connections.

“The site on which the school was developed has access to the municipal water and waste infrastructure,” explains Glen Moss, Eastern Cape area manager at Kwikspace.

“So once the buildings were complete, it was a simple matter of linking the school to the municipal system and tapping into the municipal-

ity-provided Eskom connection. This ensured that we provided a fully functioning school with all the necessary amenities.”

Site work commenced in November 2017 with the completed school handed over in midJuly this year. Subsequent to the handover, additional scope of work has been requested.

In addition, schools within the OR Tambo and Alfred Nzo districts will benefit from Kwikspace’s involvement in the project.

They are: Mahobe SPS, Nazareth SPS, Mkiwane SPS, Mpolosa SPS, Silindini SPS and Qebeyi PS, with the seventh school still to be awarded.

The respective schools, each with a 250-300 learner capacity, will receive five classrooms, a Grade R classroom, computer laboratory, administration blocks and ablution facilities.

Each stand-alone unit is 7x8m, except for the administration block, which measures 7x12m.

As is standard with most school projects, all classrooms are equipped with plug points,

lighting, blackboards, pin boards and galvanised security gates.

Non-conventional additions to the structures are alarm systems fitted to the administration blocks.

The order was received in February 2018 with the site handed over to Kwikspace for development in mid-March.

The semi-permanent structures are scheduled for completion in mid-October, when they will house learners, teachers and administrative personnel for approximately twoand-a-half years while the permanent brick structure is completed.

“As it takes between two and two-and-a-half years to build brick and mortar schools of these sizes, the Kwikspace units make ideal classrooms and the perfect replacement for that period – and longer if necessary, after which they will be deconstructed and relocated for use in similar projects,” Moss said.

All units across both projects come with Kwikspace’s standard one-year warranty.

With many of the audience expressing awe about the genre of the book saying since he was once a member of the SRC, it was unexpected that he chose to write a love story instead of a book that leans towards politics. “I wrote this book because I was the most unlikely guy to write this type of book. Also because I know what I am talking about, I also wrote it specifically for everyone who is looking for real love. So if you want to find the true aspect of love then this book is for you. From the bottom of my heart, thank you very much for coming. It was indeed impossible until it was done,� said Mantashe.

SRC secretary, Sibongiseni Mayeza, thanked the institution for bringing Mantashe to the campus as a form of encouragement to the students to do better. “We are very surprised to be launching a book about love because comrade Mantashe never showed any signs that he was a man who could talk about love.

WSU convocation president, Zincendile Tiya, encouraged the students to have pride in the institution and spoke about how it was everyone’s responsibility to uplift the WSU brand. “We are here today to celebrate the work of one of our own. We are not a partisan organisation, we are an organisation of all former students; we are accommodating to everyone, from each and every campus. “We are an institution that boasts of multiple successful professionals and we would like to run more programmes of this nature. “To the students, I encourage you to not shy away from the institution after you have graduated.

10 Jet Mart customer wins brand-new car News

October 18, 2018 Mthatha Express

LUVO CAKATA WHEN Nosiphiwo Ntambekwana (33) bought four bottles of sparkling water at Jet Mart Circus Triangle in Mthatha in July this year, it never crossed her mind that by so doing she was buying her first brand new car.

The mother of four and aspiring electrical engineer from Maiden Farm outside Mthatha was the winner of a brand new Datsun Go seven-seater courtesy of Jet Mart.

Speaking to Mthatha Express after receiving the keys to her brand new car, the elated Nosiphiwo said in July this year, on her way home from work with friends, she bought four bottles of sparkling water at Jet Mart, as they were running a promotion on selected products including the sparkling water.

She then entered the in store promotion called Sweets Carnival by sending an SMS on the number that was provided on her till slip and the rest as they say is history. She said she did not believe it when she was called a week ago and told

she was one of the finalists for the car draw.

Jet Mart specialist planner, Lerato Dipholo, said they had over half a million entries for the competition nationwide and congratulated Nosiphiwo on being the one and only winner from the Eastern Cape.

They had already given away a car each in Cape Town and Limpopo.

Nosiphiwo said it was still sinking in that she really was the winner, but she plans to use the brand new car as a source of income.

“I still have to think of an idea for the car to generate money so that it pays off the car instalments of the one my husband recently bought, and I like the fact that it is a seven-seater which means it will accommodate me, my husband and the children,” said Nosiphiwo.

Jet Mart Circus Triangle manager, Busisiwe Sobekwa-Nkasana, said the fact that a winner from their store was chosen will bear testimony that their promotions are genuine as some customers are sometimes sceptical, because they do not often see someone they know actually winning the prize.

Suzuki introduces first all-new Jimny 4x4 in two decades REPORTER SUZUKI revealed its all-new Suzuki Jimny recently at the 2018 Johannesburg Festival of Motoring, the first redesign in two decades of this ladder-framed, low-range vehicle.

It is only the fourth all-new model since the LJ10 was launched in 1970.

The all-new Jimny will be available to customers in South Africa from November 1.

delivers 75kW at 6 000rpm and 130Nm at 4 000rpm.

The new K15B-engine is 15% lighter than the 1.3 litre unit it replaces. The lighter weight, higher compression ratio and overall improvement in efficiency mean that this engine uses more than 14% less fuel than both the manual and automatic versions of its predecessor.

The engine is mated to a five-speed manual gearbox and an optional four-speed automatic gearbox in GLX specification.

Exterior The new Suzuki Jimny made waves when it was officially unveiled in Japan in June this year for its bold, angular styling, which includes the most iconic signature elements of each of its predecessors.

These styling elements reminiscent of previous models include an overall angular design, round headlamps and separate round orange indicators, side bonnet slits and an angular front windscreen, a clamshell bonnet and upright grille and a moulded rear bumper with lights in the furthermost corners.

The new Jimny adds some unique features of its own, which include a full drip rail around the roof, which is both functional in The all-new Suzuki Jimny 4x4 will take the market by storm in PHOTO:SUPPLIED rain and off-road condi- November. tions and which allows All new Jimny models are fitted with a 4x4 for the easy fitment of a number of roof rails system called AllGrip Pro®, which allows and other accessories. the driver to comfortably switch between Interior 4x2 (rear-wheel drive), 4x4 high and 4x4 low Inside the cabin, Suzuki’s designers have range with a secondary gear lever. also added hints of the new Jimny’s foreThis system is supported by both the vebears, such as exposed painted metal win- hicle stability control (ESP) and a new dow frames at shoulder height, a speedome- Brake-enabled Limited Slip Differential ter and tachometer in separate square bin- system. nacles and the fit-for-purpose dashboard The ESP-system is standard on all models with many storage binnacles and three-lay- and adjusts its functioning based on the er design. number of wheels driven and the road conditions.

In South Africa, Suzuki has added its 7-inch SLDA – smartphone linkage display – to the new GLX-specification. This large touch screen is fitted with Apple Carplay, Android Auto and Mirror Link to accommodate most smartphones in-car features and voice control functionality available in the market today.

There are a number of additional storage bins that are perfect for a smartphone and the split rear seats now fold flat into the vehicle floor on certain specification levels.

The luggage area on models with split seats is covered in hardy moulded plastic and has several tie-down hooks, a 12V socket (on the GLX) and multiple utility screw holes under the rear windows and in the load bay.

GA and GLX models To widen the appeal of the allnew Jimny, Suzuki South Africa will introduce both a GA and GLX specification level.

Both specification levels will have a fullsized spare wheel, ABS brakes, brake assist (BAS), electronic stability control (ESP), ISOFIX anchors for child seats and dual SRS front airbags. Both models will also have the

AllGrip Pro® 4x4 system with low range transfer gear and the Brake LSD traction control system.

The GLX specification – available with the choice of manual and automatic gearboxes – include features such as a leather-covered multi-function steering wheel, electric windows, colour coded door handles and mirrors, 15-inch alloy wheels, LED projector headlamps, remote keyless access with central locking and front fog lights.

GLX models also have the 7-inch touchscreen with smartphone connectivity and Bluetooth hands-free operation, cruise control and the 50:50 split rear bench with two headrests.

Tornado determined to upset Mthatha Bucks ELETHU MTIKI TSHEPO Motsoeneng is confident that his side will collect maximum points when they visit Mthatha Bucks in an ABC Motsepe League clash this weekend.

The Tornado FC coach saw his side beat Mthatha Bucks 2-0 in the final of the Nedbank Cup qualifiers at North End Stadium in East London last week Saturday.

Motsoeneng did not mince his words when he boldly said his side would repeat what they did to Mthatha Bucks last weekend.

“We expect a different game from Mthatha

Bucks. But I can tell you that we will come back home with three points,” he said.

Motsoeneng said he hoped the match officials would be at their best on Saturday by making the right calls. Tornado, who are the defending league champions, have not been beaten so far this season in a league match.

In their four league matches, they have won two and drawn two. Bucks are also showing signs of improvement since their coach, Velile Dyaloyi, took the reins.

Bucks showed that they are capable of putting the ball in the back of the net as they tamed Amavarara with a 3-0 victory in a Nedbank Cup semi-final; handing the Komani-based side

their first defeat of the season. Both Tornado and Bucks have totally different teams to what they had last season.

Out of the 37 players they had last season, Tor-

nado are left only with five who were part of the squad which went to the national play-offs.

Bucks, saw an exodus of players after they got relegated from the National First Division.

Fameni Handball Club aims high BABALWA NDLANYA FAMENI Handball Club, from Fameni locality in Elliotdale, is working hard to ensure that it wins the Zone Six match which will be held in Botswana on December 10.

According to the team founder, Ntsikelelo Mahlathi, they competed in Lesotho recently.

“We participated in a group stages match that was held in Lesotho recently and our boys won by two points, beating Lepane Handball Team from Lesotho. They would participate with teams from Botswana and Zimbabwe in December.

“They need to win by four points in order to qualify to play in Zone Six,” said Mahlathi.

He said in the group stages they had faced Lepali Handball Team from Lesotho, Maum Handball Team from Botswana and two Zimb-

abwean teams, N-Seven Handball Team and Harare Handball Club.

One of the players, Siphosethu Moti, said the upcoming matches were not easy but they would manage to win.

“We will make sure that we improve so that we can get four points. We are sure that it will put us on another level but we have to work hard,” said Moti.
