Insupportoftheseefforts,theEasternCape Department of Education (ECDoE) hosted a World Read Aloud Day (WRAD) celebration at Holy Cross High School in Mthatha. This
event brought together educators, learners, and literacy advocates to emphasise the importance of reading aloud.
World Read Aloud Day, an annual global event marking the start of Reading Aloud Month in February, has been instrumental in inspiring learners and educators to prioritise literacy. In a statement, Curriculum Management Chief Director, Chulekazi Xundu-Bula, noted that WRAD was initiated in 2010 by the nonprofit LitWorld. The Department embraced WRAD to address literacy challenges, especially among learners aged 10 who struggle with reading and writing. “By declaring February as the Month of World Read Aloud, we aim to drive meaningful change,” said Xundu-Bula.
In 2022, the Department launched a comprehensive reading strategy based on four pillars. WRAD focuses on the fourth pillar‘Communication, advocacy, and community involvement.’ This pillar unites parents, learners, education officials, and partners, fostering a collective effort to enhance literacy.
“WRAD presents a unique opportunity for our community to come together, take action and acknowledge the critical role reading plays in shaping minds and empowering individuals,” added Xundu-Bula. Linda Gwele, Chief Education Specialist for Foundation Phase, highlighted collaborative dialogues with partners to promote literacy effectively.
Sinoxolo Qungwana, Provincial Administrator from Nal’ibali, expressed pride in contributing to WRAD. Nal’ibali’s reading-forenjoyment campaign aims to spark a love of reading among children through oral storytelling and book-sharing, creating a culture of reading in homes, schools, and communities. “Schools’ story sessions are a great way to encourage children to develop a love for reading and storytelling,” Qungwana concluded.

John Walton School opens study centre
SHANTI JAFTA
JOHN Walton Secondary School was recently endowed with a study centre and sleeping quarters, where its matric learners can look forward to having two meals a day while they study for the year ahead.
The school received over R45 000 in sponsorship, both monetary and in-kind.
The KallaManie Benefit Foundation was established in memory of the late Manie ‘Kalla’ Daniels, who was a long-serving educator at John Walton. The Foundation, registered as a Non-Profit Company (NPC), donates all its proceeds to good causes. The late Daniels’ wife, Fredaline, nominated Jamie-Lee Daniels, Clinton Anderson, and Jeffrey du Preez as the Foundation’s founding directors.
The donation came in various forms, from local businesses such as the KallaManie Benefit Foundation donating R30 000, Score under Chill Beverages who donated R5 000, the JWSS Alumni Association donating R15 000, Buco Hardware Store, which donated building materials, as well as Andrew Rabie Secondary School and Ebrahim Wicomb who donated cutlery.
A current Grade 12 learner shared his heartfelt story about what the study centre would mean for him going into his matric year.
“My living conditions are not good because, during the day, I cannot study as there is too much noise around. We stay in a one-roomed flat in someone’s backyard. Sometimes, I have to study with a torch because the owner of the house switches off the electricity often, or sometimes there just is no electricity,” said the learner. He added that he has a desire to learn, but his circumstances do not allow him to do so. This is why he believes that the study centre will be beneficial for him and other
learners as well. “It will provide learners, such as me, with a safe and comfortable place to learn.”
The learner, filled with emotion, added,
“I am grateful that I will now have a place to get valuable study time, as well as a guaranteed warm plate of food and breakfast the next day.”
The sleeping quarters were equipped with numerous bunk beds, which were assembled by the school’s wood-working de-
PROMOSIE: DRS. SKEIN EN VAN DER BERG PRAKTYK
Welkomaandienuwedokters
DIE welbekende 30-jaar lange vennootskap van dr. H.J. Skein en dr. A.R. van der Berg op Kariega het in Januarie twee nuwe dokters op die perseel verwelkom.
Drs. Kevin Higgs en Clifford Bartman, albei algemene praktisyne met mediese en chirurgiese opleiding, het onlangs na hul tuisdorp teruggekeer.
Hulle was saam in die skoolbanke by die Hoërskool Brandwag, het saam in Pretoria hulle mediese studies aangepak en
sien uit daarna om saam die pasiënte van Kariega te help.
Drs. Skein en Van der Berg het hulle met trots verwelkom na die praktyk en hoop om hulle nog baie lank daar te hê.
Die twee nuwe dokters, en hulle welbekende kollegas, se spreekkamers is by Johnstraat 46 geleë.
Hulle is beskikbaar Maandae tot Vrydae van 08:00 tot die laaste pasiënt gesien is.

study hall and sleeping quarters, which would accommodate approximately 20 learners both during the week and over the weekend for those in need.
“Learners who cannot study at home are encouraged to come to the school, where they will be provided with a meal and an opportunity to study among teachers. Having teachers around will give struggling learners an opportunity to ask questions should they get stuck,” Joseph added.
As a non-fee paying school receiving a subsidy from the Department of Education, the subsidy goes towards the school’s learning materials and staff salaries.
“Our school was meant to be a temporary structure (made of wood) in 1978. We were initially meant to move; however, that has not happened yet. So, we need money for the maintenance of the school as well,” Joseph said.
He added that the learners come from impoverished backgrounds, and in some cases, learners have additional challenges.
The Principal, Stephen de Bruin, said that the school moved from quintile 4 to quintile 3, which means that the learners are part of the government’s school feeding scheme.
“This initiative is important because some children who do not eat, do not have the energy to study throughout the day. This will eradicate that and give all learners an equal chance at succeeding in their studies,” De Bruin said.
partment to limit costs. Deputy Principal Phillip Joseph added that they hope to receive more donations as there is still space to convert the adjacent classroom into another sleeping quarter. The current arrangement will alternate between housing boys one week and girls the next. Should there be more funding, it will give learners equal opportunities to benefit from it. According to Joseph, a section of the school was converted into two sections: a
He also added that the study centre will be a sanctuary for learners who cannot study at home, and that here will be security guards patrolling the premises to ensure that the learners are safe.
Joseph concluded, “The school calls on other businesses and able community members to assist them in providing larger sleeping quarters for its learners to help them achieve an even higher pass rate than last year’s 80.1%.”
Uitenhage Library host Black History Month celebration
The Uitenhage Public Library recently hosted a Black History Month programme where the Grade 7 students from Fountain of Life were invited. According to the Senior Librarian of the Uitenhage Public Library, Nompumelelo Ngcoko, the library aims to highlight Black History Month by celebrating its own artists. She added that the library supports informal education, while schools promote formal education. Ngcoko stated, ‘Hosting this event will enhance the learners’ presentation skills.’ At the event, learners were given an opportunity to present an African leader who made a significant impact on society. Ngcoko further mentioned that they hope events like these will foster self-belief among learners, encouraging them to dream big and not to underestimate themselves based on their current circumstances.

Local model to participate in Teen Miss Universe
SHANTI JAFTA
STARTING her modelling journey in 2022 with TMA Models agency in Kariega, Angelique Phela (19), a Financial Management final year student, sets her sights on bringing the coveted Teen Miss Universe title to Kariega. The main event is set to take place in Polokwane at the Meropa Sun Hotel from March 21 until 23.
“Helping people is part of me, which is why I chose to participate in a competition this big; I will use my platform to do good in my community,” Angelique said as she shared why she entered Teen Miss Universe 2025.
“I love taking on challenges, meeting new people and making new friends, no matter what background one comes from. I am not someone who likes being in a box; I want to explore and try everything while I still can,” she added.
Coming from a place where she thought she wasn’t good enough, she decided to try modelling, which in turn boosted her confidence and made her believe in herself more. Her parents, Shaun Soyes and Sweetness Phela, confirmed that ever since Angelique started modelling, she has grown from being shy and reserved to being outgoing and talkative.
She has participated in many pageants to date, but Teen Miss Universe is the biggest competition she has taken part in. She also shared that pageant competitions are fun for her as they prioritise elegance and presenting yourself as a lady, and that it is not only about the crown but supporting other models and being a role model for young girls.
According to Trish Basson, the owner of TMA Models, Angelique is a dedicated model, respectful and works well with other models.
“Sherecentlystartedasapre-traineeteacher, which starts her journey to become a teacher attheagency.Shehasbeenexcellinginthisrole thus far, as she trains models’ skills under our guidance. She can work in a group and is a fast learner.Sheisalwaysfriendlyandreliable,also displaying a positive attitude,” Basson said.
Basson believes that Angelique would make a great Teen Miss Universe because she has a passion for making a difference in people’s lives and her heart is in the right place.
“She is not afraid to stand up for what she believes in, and she will go out of her way to help someone. I believe she would use the platform to create a change in people’s lives and not only see it as a sash,” Basson added.
Although she started modelling as a shy girl, Basson believes that she has grown in confidence and started believing in herself. Even though she started modelling recently, and was placed in the top three positions in various inhouse TMA competitions, she has always remained humble.
“I believe she has grown in a few years through modelling because she has been patient, remained dedicated and never gave up despite disappointments. She saw disappointments as challenges to improve herself. I have seen her grow from a shy girl to a confident young lady who believes in herself,” she said.
Shaun Soyes, Angelique’s father, said that he and Angelique’s mother, Sweetness Phela, did all that they could to help Angelique get where she is in the competition now, saying that they spent over R35 000, which is running the family dry.
“As a parent, you want to help your child reach their dream. This has been her dream for so long and I had to do all that I could to help her, which is why I appeal to other community members and businesses to help our girl. She is determined to do well not only for herself but for the community around her as well,” Soyes said.
Angelique shared that chasing a big dream might bring greater joy at the end of the day if you attack it head on, and uses that as her mantra in life going forward.
For more information on how to help Angelique bring the prestigious title to Kariega, email her at phelaangelique@gmail.com or follow her on her social media platforms, Angelique Phela.

“Dit het my oneindige plesier verskaf om iedere elk van hulle te skep en om hulle nou saam op die uitstalling te kan sien, is werklik besonders.
“Dit is veral vir my interessant om te sien dat verskeie van my nuutste beeldhouwerk ’n sterk konneksie het met dié wat ek in die tagtigerjare geskep het.
“Ek glo dat baie van my kunswerke die kyker veral vanweë hulle emosionele intensiteit en vorm aanraak. Dit blyk dat mense hulself kan identifiseer met die energiewatdiedeurdiebeeldeuitgestraal word.

Young Kariega musician’s journey to success
NKOSAZANA NGWADLA
AT just 15 years old, trumpeter Alzanedrio Willemse from Kariega is making waves in the music scene. Over the past two years, his music career has grown significantly, allowing him to perform at major events, collaborate with talented musicians, and develop a unique style.
Willemse’s musical journey is marked by a commitment to refining his craft. “I’ve honed skills like improvisation, sight-reading, and arranging music,” he said. “My stage presence has improved, allowing me to connect with audiences and convey emotions through my performances.” These refined skills have enabled Willemse to deliver confident, expressive, and engaging shows.
Two years ago, the young musician told the UD Express, “Growing up in the small town of Kariega, I’m not very exposed to a lot of musicians and professional instrument players. But two years ago when I was 11 years old, my dad taught me how to play the trumpet and I haven’t looked back since.”
Among his recent milestones are the release of new music on streaming platforms and performances at prominent festivals across South Africa. His social media presence has also soared, with over 35 000 subscribers on You-
Tubeand19 000followersonTikTok.Oneofhis YouTube videos even amassed 31 million views, providing immense motivation for the young artist. “Engaging with supporters and collaborating with influencers has been key to expanding my audience,” he explained. Willemse’s music is heavily influenced by the Cape Minstrels tradition, as well as jazz, classical, and pop music. This blend of styles reflects his diverse inspirations and cultural heritage. However, his journey hasn’t been without challenges. Financial constraints havesometimeslimitedhisaccesstoresources and opportunities. “I’ve relied on support from family, friends, and my community,” he said, noting that collaborations, sponsorships, and crowd-funding have been crucial.
A significant source of motivation comes from his family. “My parents and family are my biggest supporters. Their emotions, especially when I play the trumpet, inspire me,” he said. He also expressed gratitude to his school, Hoërskool Brandwag, for their
encouragement.
Looking forward, Willemse is excited about returning to the Kaapse Klopse and collaborating with other musicians on live performances and music videos. His personal experiences, upbringing in Kariega, and involvement in the Kaapse Klopse tradition heavily influence his songwriting. He draws inspiration from his surroundings, culture, and community, creating music that reflects his unique perspective. Through his music, Willemse aims to convey joy, passion, and connection. He hopes to inspire listeners, bring people together, and celebrate the beauty and diversity of South African culture. His journey is a testament to his dedication, talent, and the support of those around him.

ABSA RUN YOUR CITY GQEBERHA 10K: 10km record under threat
THE Absa Run Your City Series is proud to welcome global running sensation, Adriaan Wildschutt, to compete on South African soil at the Absa Run Your City Gqeberha 10K on Sunday, April 13, 2025.
As one of the world’s top athletes, his participation is a significant boost for South African road running, local sports, and the prestige of the Absa Run Your City Series.
Followingabreakthroughyearin2024,Wildschutt, who holds four national track records, has announced his intention to pursue the SA 10km record at the Absa Run Your City Gqeberha 10K.
His confidence in targeting the 27:35 SA record set by Precious Mashele at the inaugural Absa Run Your City Gqeberha 10K in 2023 is well-founded. The American-based top runner produced no fewer than six South African records last season including 3000m (7:32.99), 5000m (12:56.67), and 5000m indoors (12:56.76), as well as a new national 10 000m mark of 26:50.64 which accompanied a memorable 10th place finish in the Olympic final at the Stade de France last August.
“I’m looking forward to participating at the Absa Run Your City Gqeberha 10K,” confirms Wildschutt. “I chose the race because I hear that it’s a fast course and I remember the South African record being set there. I love competing, and sometimes that leads to records. I appreciate and respect Precious’s record and would never undermine the quality it took to set that record. However, I am aiming to break the South African record in Gqeberha and hopefully make it a lasting one.”
As one of the most sought-after track and road running stars in the United States, where he has beenbasedforthepastsevenyears,andaprominent contender on the lucrative European circuit, his decision to kick off his road running season on home soil speaks volumes.
“To be honest, the race in Gqeberha lines up best with my schedule. Training has been going very well in the last five weeks. We were able to continue to train at a high level. However, the next six weeks are going to be critical leading up to some track races and the 10km in Gqeberha. I am very excited about that, and I am hopeful that everything will go as planned and I can perform at the best level I can.”
Performingatthehighestlevelagainstworldclass competitors on African soil is not the only reason the Ceres-born SA 5000m champion chose Nelson Mandela Bay over other destinations.
Having run a number of 10km road races in the Western Cape as a junior before moving to the US to study, 26-year-old Wildschutt reveals that through his brother, Nadeel, who ran 28:07 at the Absa Run Your City Durban 10K last year, he has been following the Absa Run Your City Series from across the Atlantic and was more than ready to grab the opportunity to take part when it came. Wildschutt confirms that he spoke with his brother about the series, who had nothing but praise for the entire organisation.
“Iwasstokedtohearaboutthat,whichiswhy I wanted to compete in it in an attempt to do well,” he adds. “I also want to try something differentandgotoadifferentcityIhaveneverbeen to before. Racing in South Africa is unique. The runningcultureisdifferent.Ilovethefoodafterwards and the vibe that follows the race. I feel a whole lot of people know me better and I can share a great experience with all of them.”
“We are excited to welcome Adriaan Wildschutt to the Absa Run Your City Series in 2025,” says Michael Meyer, Managing Director of Stillwater Sports and Founder of the Absa Run Your City Series.
“His exceptional performance at the Olympics in France last August had South Africans
on the edge of their seats — a proud moment for the nation. Setting a new national 10,000m recordof26:50.64andfinishing10thontheworld stage showcased his incredible talent. Adriaan brings excitement and quality racing to the series. We firmly believe that not only is a new SA 10km record within reach but there’s also a strong possibility it could be shattered convincingly. We’re equally excited to see how the rest of the field responds to his record-breaking ambitions on race day. Spectators can expect toptier competition and numerous standout performances. We look forward to witnessing the action unfold in Gqeberha as Adriaan pushes the boundaries of road running on home soil.”

Frans Conradie hou suksesvolle gholfdag
HANNES SCHOEMAN
DIE Laerskool Frans Conradie het ’n suksesvolle gholfdag aangebied om geld in te samel vir die o.13-rugbyspan se toer na Nxuba (Cradock) in die Maart-vakansie.
Die skoolhoof, Zanes Grobler, sê al die wins wat gemaak is, word ten behoewe van die toer aangewend.
Intussen heers groot opgewondenheid oor die toer wat die Hoër Landbouskool Marlow al langer as 15 jaar aanbied.
Marlow nooi normaalweg 26 o.13spanne van regoor die land en daar word daagliks bepaal wie speel volgende teen mekaar deur na die dag se uitslae te kyk.
Dit word op ’n krag teen krag-grondslag bepaal.
“Sodoende speel ons teen skole wat ons andersins nooit teen sou speel nie.
“Dit is dus ’n lekker uitdaging en ondervinding soos min.
“Daarom is dit elke o.11- en o.13-speler se droom om die toerspan te haal,” sê Grobler, wat saam met Brendan Human die span se afrigters is.
Frans Conradie gaan met goeie ervaring Nxuba toe.
Vyf van die spelers wat verlede jaar al gereeld vir die span gespeel het, is vanjaar in gr. 7 en dus weer beskikbaar. Hulle kan dus ervaring en kalmte na die span bring.
Grobler sê die gholfdag was weereens ’n reusesukses.
“Daar is nie wenners nie en telling word ook nie gehou nie, want dit gaan uit en uit oor pret en geesbou. Ons het ook baie geluktrekkings gehad.
“Dit is ’n manier van fondsinsameling en hier is ander skole wat dit ook doen, maar elkeen op sy eie unieke manier.”
Hy sê weens die droë weer moes hulle inisiatief aan die dag lê vir groener setperke.
“Dit was omtrent pret vir oud en jonk vir die 110 spelers en is oor nege putjies op die skoolterrein aangebied. Die besighede en instansies van ons dorp het ons skitterend ondersteun met die borg van putjies, pryse, natgate en donasies. Al ons borge kon bemarkingsmateriaal by die putjies uitstal en kry blootstelling op ons sosiale mediaplatforms. Na die tyd is lekker gesels en gebraai. Dit was ’n uiters gesellige dag,” sê Grobler.
Nuwe 2025 bestuur vir Despatch Posduifklub

“ONS kamp by Nature’s Valley, kom kuier,” het Potgieters uitgenooi.
ToevallighetekdieselfdedagdienuweSuzuki Swift gekry om te toetsbestuur, toe maak ons (ek en Liefie) so.
Ons pak ’n botteltjie jenewer (dalk twee) en genoeg tonic water om ’n weermag muskiete af te weer, en ’n kombers en ’n paar kussings in die karretjie en vat die pad.
Die Suziki Swift is ’n imposante kar wat nie net sag op die oog is nie maar werklik ook op die pad presteer. Dit is juis die 15-duim allooi wiele wat daartoe bydra dat hy so lekker stewig op die pad sit.
Hy is toegerus met ’n 1.2-liter petrol besparende enjin wat welkom is in die swaar ekonomiese tydperk wat baie van ons wel beleef.
Die unieke 3D-agterligte dra by tot die moderne gevoel van die kar.
Die Swift is seker eintlik bedoel as ’n stadskarretjie, maar soos Liefie hom beskryf hy het soos Cheslin Kolbe gebokspring toe na ’n laer rat oorgeskakel het toe ek stadige trokke moes verbys-
Dit het die vorige nag in Nature’s Valley gereën, so daar was ’n paar modderpoele wat maar versigtig benader moes word, maar wat, die oulike karretjie het nie eens eenkeer vasgeval nie.
“Maar, maar waar’s julle tent?” het die Potties gewonder.
“Ons skuif net die voorste sitplekke agtertoe en slaan dit plat. Ons slaap in die kar.” Toemaakonsso.Diesitplekkewassogerieflik soos die eersteklas sitplekke op ’n vliegtuig.

Gewis sommer baie beter as ’n bedompige ou tent!
As dit nie vir die opwinding was om die Swift weer ou pad langs huis toe te moes bestuur nie, het ons sommer nog ’n paar aande in die Swift gekamp!
Die koste van die voertuig is ongeveer R219 900.
