NMB Business Chamber launches Entrepreneur Programme
A NEW chapter in local business development is underway as the Nelson Mandela Bay Business Chamber officially launches the Entrepreneur Programme, in partnership with Airports Company South Africa (ACSA) and the iLembe Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Tourism.
This is aimed at strengthening the foundation and competitiveness of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Nelson Mandela Bay.
"The Entrepreneur 2025 Programme is designed not just to train, but to transform. It gives serious business owners the tools and perspective needed to position themselves for long-term sustainability and market relevance," said Denise van Huyssteen, CEO of the Nelson Mandela Bay Business Chamber.
"Being selected as a key delivery partner in this national initiative reflects the Chamber's growing reputation for practical, action-oriented business support. We see this as an opportunity to build a more inclusive and competitive economy in Nelson Mandela Bay, especially given our high unemployment levels. By backing businesses that already have market traction, we're helping to fast-track job creation and boost local value chains where they matter most."
This initiative, developed in partnership with ACSA and the iLembe Chamber of Commerce, is a results-driven platform built to deliver real change for businesses that are already operational and ready to scale.
"As an enabler of economic growth and transformation, Airports Company South Africa deems socio-economic development (SED) and Enterprise and Supplier Development initiatives as a significant component that is realised through community upliftment. This aligns with South Africa's National Development Plan (NDP) and is guided by the company's transformation imperatives and sustainability framework," said Ele Tshikovhi, ACSA Group Manager Transformation.
The programme is uniquely positioned to support MSMEs that are already trading and are prepared to take the next step. With academic support from the University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN) and strategic input from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), the curriculum integrates local context with world-class entrepreneurial thinking.
Cobus Oelofse, the iLembe Chamber of Commerce CEO, stated, "The iLembe Chamber is excited to see our partnership with ACSA spreading its wings across the country. The collaboration with the Nelson Mandela Bay Business Chamber is a
powerful lift-off for our shared mission to build resilient, sustainable businesses that can drive local economic growth and job creation. This partnership reflects our belief that entrepreneurship flourishes when rooted in collaboration, local relevance and a shared vision."
Running over seven weeks, the programme provides participants with structured training, one-on-one mentorship, and exposure to seasoned business leaders. From customer segmentation to systems thinking, each session is designed to refine business models, enhance value offerings, and address operational blind spots.
To ensure impact, strict criteria apply. Businesses must be:
• Registered and active in the Nelson Mandela Bay Metro,
• Operational for at least 12 months,
• Owned and led full-time by the applicant,
• Legally registered and tax compliant (or working
towards compliance),
• Willing to attend in-person sessions weekly at the Chamber's offices.
Participation requires commitment; this is not a passive programme. Selected entrepreneurs must complete assignments, engage in mentorship, and submit a comprehensive business plan that will serve as the basis for final adjudication.
Finalists will have the opportunity to showcase their businesses, with winners receiving targeted business development funding. However, prize allocation is not automatic. Disbursement will be based on mentor recommendations, business plan viability, and adherence to programme expectations, ensuring resources go only where they can generate measurable impact.
The initiative is formalised through a beneficiary agreement, making expectations and deliverables clear. Sessions range from business model canvas deep-
dives to sustainability and IT integration, closing with comprehensive business plan development.
With Nelson Mandela Bay's unemployment rate among the highest in the country, the Entrepreneur 2025 Programme is a strategic intervention targeting economic resilience at its core. By accelerating growth for high-potential MSMEs, the initiative aims to create ripple effects across employment, supplier development, and community upliftment.
Claudia Daniels, Chief Dawid Stuurman International Airport Manager, shared: "At Airports Company South Africa (ACSA), we recognise that our role extends beyond the boundaries of aviation. We are deeply committed to contributing to the socio-economic development of the communities we serve. The partnership with the Nelson Mandela Bay Business Chamber is a reflection of our strategic vision and our dedication to making a positive impact where it matters most."
Metropolitan Police Commissioners Forum held in NMB
NKOSAZANA NGWADLA
A THREE-DAY Metropolitan Police Commissioners’ Forum was recently held in Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality, hosted by the South African National Roads Agency Limited (SANRAL).
The gathering brought together commissioners from all metros, including Nelson Mandela Bay, Tshwane, Johannesburg, eThekwini, Mangaung and Cape Town, to review and enhance law enforcement strategies in South Africa.
SANRAL opened the session with a detailed presentation showcasing their work, highlighting cutting-edge technology such as CCTV cameras and traffic detectors.
These tools enabled real-time road monitoring, swift incident detection, and efficient road incident management.
In a statement, the NMBM said the presentation highlighted SANRAL’s commitment to collaborative efforts with law enforcement agencies, focusing on how their services could support and enhance road safety initiatives and community protection.
During the forum, SANRAL highlighted the alarming rate of theft and vandalism of traffic infrastructure, including
traffic lights and signals.
This problem has significantly contributed to a rise in road fatalities, prompting the agency to explore effective solutions to curb vandalism and enhance road safety.
The Metropolitan Police Commissioners’ Forum focused on training collaboration between the South African Police Services (SAPS), the Municipal Metropolitan Police Services and the Road Traffic Management Corporation.
Key areas discussed included training programmes for metro police members, technical research and uniform standards.
The panel revisited key training initiatives from previous meetings, including the development of an entry-level managerial course for Municipal Police Services and the establishment of municipal standards for MPD 9 and mounted services.
Representatives from Motorola Solutions joined the panel to explore technical research initiatives to enhance road and community safety.
These included leveraging CCTV footage for accident capture, automated incident reporting to emergency services, and monitoring vehicles and individuals
that violated traffic laws.
The forum noted that these efforts would greatly benefit the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality in eliminating crime and promoting safety across the Metro.
On the second day, hosted at Coega IDZ, key stakeholders in attendance, including the Member of the Mayoral Committee for Safety and Security, Councillor Luyanda Lawu, Metro Police Commissioner, Advocate Andrew Moses, Metro Police Colonel, Raquel Paulsen, Metro Police Colonel, Mlindi Mangwane, and commissioners from various provinces across South Africa.
In his remarks, the MMC emphasised the importance of tackling crime in the metro, highlighting the need for innovative strategies to drive down crime statistics.
Key discussion points among the commissioners included strategic interventions to enhance local policing standards, as well as initiatives to standardise training, leverage research, and harness technical expertise.
In April, the UD Express reported that the Transport Minister, Barbara Creecy, along with Deputy Minister, Mkhuleko Hlengwa, Eastern Cape MEC for Transport and Community Safety, Xolile
Nqatha, Nelson Mandela Bay Executive Mayor, Babalwa Lobishe, and senior executives from SANRAL, conducted site inspections showcasing significant projects driving economic growth and road safety improvements in the Eastern Cape.
One of these projects is SANRAL's Freeway Management System (FMS), a network of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) that actively manages and monitors freeways to improve safety, efficiency, and traveller information.
It utilises technologies like CCTV, variable message signs (VMS), and traffic detectors to monitor traffic flow, detect incidents, and provide real-time information to road users.
The FMS is designed to reduce delays, improve congestion management, and contribute to safer roads.
At the time, Creecy outlined her optimism for the area’s future: “This is about long-term impact — safer roads, stronger communities, and a thriving economy.”
The FMS is a groundbreaking project and the first of its kind in the province. It enables SANRAL to monitor road conditions in real time, respond promptly to incidents, and provide live updates to motorists, enhancing road safety.

Matanzima Bridge repairs underway
SHANTI JAFTA
THE Roads and Transport Directorate has officially commenced rehabilitation work on the Matanzima Bridge in KwaNobuhle, Kariega.
This initiative forms part of the Nelson Man-
dela Bay Municipality's Disaster Recovery Programme.
The work in progress is to demolish the damaged concrete floor slabs, divert the river to enable embankment trimming, and construct an access road.
The department will also prepare works for
backfilling, remove excess material under the bridge, trim the embankment, and prepare for crack sealing.
Senior Director of Roads and Transport, Givon Van Eyck, said, "Contractors were appointed on April 9, 2025. The lead contractors are Power Construction and Empa Structures."
He added that the project is projected to take approximately six months to complete. The metro shared, "This critical infrastructure recovery project is a testament to the municipality's commitment to restoring and improving essential transport links in the region."
VWGA launches biodiversity strategy with tree planting initiative
IN a demonstration of environmental stewardship, Volkswagen Group Africa (VWGA) commemorated International Biodiversity Day on Friday, May 30, with a tree-planting initiative.
The tree-planting activity underscores the company’s commitment to protecting and enhancing biodiversity, both within the plant and in the wider Kariega community.
“This year’s tree-planting event is particularly significant as it marks the launch of VWGA’s biodiversity strategy, which includes preserving and restoring rare and critically endangered species found on our property,” said Ntsapokazi Ningiza, Environmental Sustainability Manager at VWGA.
Two of these species, namely Delosperma hollandii , located near the VWGA Test Track and Component Plant, and Trichodiadema stayneri , also found within the Test Track area, are potentially extinct. Meanwhile, Tritonia dubia, identified in the Production Development facility, is classified as a threatened species.
In addition to protecting these rare species, the tree-planting initiative introduced new indigenous trees to Plant Kariega, including White Milkwood,
Wild Plum, Cross Berry, and the Cape Ash.
These contribute to VWGA’s plans to establish an arboretum, which will host
a variety of indigenous trees, enriching biodiversity and promoting ecological balance.
“This initiative goes beyond mere-
ly planting trees,” said Martina Biene, VWGA Chairperson and Managing Director.
“It’s about recognising the unique biodiversity we are privileged to host and taking concrete action to protect it. The involvement of our employees from various locations at Plant Kariega reflects our shared values and dedication to sustainability.”
Also present at the tree-planting initiative was Luc Strydom, a Principal Ecologist at Coastal and Environmental Services, commissioned by VWGA in 2024 to conduct a species identification across all locations at Plant Kariega. His report confirmed the presence of three rare and critically endangered species at Plant Kariega.
“When VWGA asked me to carry out a species assessment, I was thrilled to discover these rare species. These species face potential extinction due to habitat loss caused by urbanisation and industrial development, and the specimens found on these premises must be protected to preserve biodiversity and maintain healthy ecosystems.
“I am equally encouraged by the company’s commitment to biodiversity,” said Strydom.
Organised sports participation encouraged at school equipment handover
BUSISWA Stokwe, the Vice President of the Nobuhle and Despatch Football Association (NODEFA) joined a youth development programme championed by the Department of Community Safety in partnership with SAPS and CPF recently.
The campaign sought to instil discipline in learners by encouraging them to participate in sport and stay away from drugs, alcohol and crime.
As part of the initiative, Tinarha Secondary School in KwaNobuhle was presented with football and netball kits along with balls, donated by the Department of Community Safety. During the handover event, Stokwe delivered a message of support on behalf of NODEFA, encouraging learners to participate in football beyond their school years, particularly through organised and recognised structures. She emphasised that these formal sporting organisations represented the only platform through which their dreams of playing for national teams could be realised.
"Participation in organised sports provides structure, discipline and opportunity," Stokwe said during her address to the students.
"These qualities are essential not only for athletic success but for life beyond the playing field."
NODEFA's Molefi Sello said in conclusion, "We hope the collaboration between NODEFA, the Department of Community Safety, SAPS and CPF is the clear demonstration of a unified approach to addressing youth challenges through positive engagement in sporting activities."
Last year, the UD Express reported that one of the key goals of NODEFA is to create a sustainable football development pathway for young people in the region, offering opportunities for both recreational and competitive play.
The association plans to organise regular events and training sessions for participants of all ages, promoting physical fitness, teamwork, and leadership skills.
The association’s publicity and marketing officer, Zingisani Mhlahlela said at the time, “We believe that football has the power to transform lives.
“Our aim is to create a positive and inclusive environment where young people can thrive. By focusing on both individual and collective growth, we hope to make a lasting impact on the community.”

Youth build impressive ‘tower’ for charity
NKOSAZANA NGWADLA
TO display community spirit and perseverance, young people from Kariega came together for the annual "I Can" tower drive charity event recently. The tower, which measures donations in metres, saw learners collect items that reached an impressive equivalent of 195 metres, easily surpassing last year's 129-metre achievement.
The event, organised by R Model Management & Agency, challenged students to gather as many donated goods as possible, with the collection's "height" representing the volume and quantity of charitable items before distributing them to those in need throughout Kariega and surrounding areas.
"What these young people accomplished was nothing short of extraordinary," said Raynaldo Bredenkamp, founder of R Model Management & Agency. "They faced multiple setbacks, yet showed remarkable resilience. It took the models several attempts over just more than an hour to organise and account for all the donations, and watching them problem-solve in real time was truly inspiring."
The challenge required careful planning and teamwork, with participants collecting more than 1000 units of canned goods that formed the foundation of their tower of donations. The endeavour wasn't without its difficulties, as the massive scale of sorting and categorising threatened to overwhelm the volunteers.
"Some of them wanted to give up as the collection process became challenging," Bredenkamp noted. "I was able to compare that obstacle with real-life challenges we all face. Sometimes tasks we've carefully planned become overwhelming, but what matters is finding the courage to persevere. That's the lesson I hope they carry forward."
The drive collected an abundance of essential items for vulnerable community members. The haul included over 1000 cans of goods, more than 400 sanitary pads, over 50 baby nappies, 100-plus shoe boxes filled with various products, more than 100 toothbrushes, over 100 face cloths, and numerous clothing items.
The event highlighted Uitenhage High School’s (where the learners are from) commitment to community service, with active participation from school leadership, staff, and students. The school's principal, management team, caretaker, and kitchen staff were acknowledged for their warm reception and support throughout the day.
Mr and Miss Inter-School Nelson Mandela Bay Finalists 2025 played significant roles in the success of the event, demonstrating leadership qualities that extended beyond their titles. Their involvement represented the drive's emphasis on nurturing community-minded young leaders.
"I am extremely proud of the models and parents, as well as the community who joined hands in this project," Bredenkamp said. "They truly showed me that Kariega's heart beats for humanity. This wasn't just about collecting items; it was about bringing people together for a greater purpose."
Local photographer Natuscha November captured the historic achievement, documenting both the challenges and triumphs throughout the day. "The images will serve as both a record of the accomplishment and inspiration for next year's participants, who will face the daunting task of exceeding the new benchmark," Bredenkamp proudly said.
The logistics of collecting and distributing such a substantial amount of donations required significant coordination. Volunteers Siham Salie and Muslima Fredericks received special recognition for transporting, storing, packing, and unloading the items – critical behind-the-scenes work that ensured the donations would reach their intended recipients.
As the day concluded, attention has already turned to next year's event, with the 2026 team facing the challenge of surpassing the impressive collection equivalent to 195 metres.
"This initiative has grown beyond our expectations," Bredenkamp reflected. "What began as a simple charity drive has evolved into a powerful lesson in perseverance, teamwork, and community responsibility. These students aren't just collecting items; they're building character and learning what it means to be active citizens who care for others."

New generation – solid and stylish
WALLACE DU PLESSIS
SUZUKI is on a roll with new product launches and this month it is the turn of their AB sedan segment market leader, the Dzire, which is India's best-selling sedan. After 11 years on our market, we are getting a new body, new engine, new platform – the new Dzire sub-compact from Suzuki is geared up to obliterate the opposition.
Not only is the pricing really sharp, but the specification on the GL+ is excellent and, in addition, rear legroom is good and the boot is big, for the AB segment of the market.
For the launch, we drove a long loop from Rosebank south of Johannesburg, and back to the Digital Dome at Wits going via the old prison for women at Constitution Hill for lunch. A good mix of city traffic and open road. Undoubtedly the Dzire will make an excellent small company car, as the boot just gives one more security for bags and other high value articles. This new Dzire is very good-looking from all angles, even a little sporty – especially at the back.
The interior has been upgraded and offers all the essential items, even power points and a vent for the rear. Two things which I don't like much are the 7" touchscreen in a housing big enough for a 9" screen and the light upholstery, but both are highly subjective. Still, a pleasant cabin with comfortable seats and a feeling of space. The GL+ variant has cruise control,
a reverse camera and a digital air conditioner.
The boot is, in fact, 100 L bigger than that of the Swift.
This little sedan has the same Z12E three-cylinder turbo mill and gearboxes as the Swift. Suzuki claims a fuel consumption of 4.4 L/100 km, but I think 5 or just above 5 is more realistic. I would say there is adequate power, but performance is not so sprightly.

The only issues I found were the very light cream interior upholstery and, at altitude, the engine is working hard, requiring a lot of gear changing. At the coast, this is not an issue.
The Dzire is built in India for the sub-continent and surrounding markets, which means that their tastes in upholstery and specifications are not always 100% the same as ours.
Unfortunately, we are such a small mar-
ket that it is not always possible to supply us with our first choice and as a result we have the very light upholstery for the moment.
If sales justify it, they will supply a more suitable colour for our market. In the showroom the light interior gives an impression of lightness and space so it might just appeal to private buyers. The specification of our version differs quite a bit from the Indian home market.
Styling is more restrained with less use of chrome for our cars. We get a CVT instead of their AMT, we lose the leather steering wheel, sunroof, 360 camera, wireless charging and get a more basic infotainment system. W e still get all the basics with cruise control, automatic climate control with rear AC vents, and a multi-info display. Crucially, six airbags, ESC, rear parking sensors, and ISOFIX mounts are standard across the range.
The new Dzire enjoys a five-star adult and four-star child occupant protection Indian NCAP rating. It indeed has all the safety kit one would expect.
The direct competition is the Honda Amaze, Hyundai Grand i10, and Kia Pegas, but all are more expensive, being R25 000 to R50 000 more. VW's Polo sedan is R100 000 more.
The base GA 5MT is R224 900, the GL+ 5MT R246 900, and the CVT version R266 900. I would recommend the CVT model.
The Dzire has a 5-year/200,000 km promotional warranty and includes a 4-year/60,000 km service plan.
