Residents raise alarm over sewage contamination

NKOSAZANA NGWADLA

RESIDENTS living along the Baakens Stream have voiced serious concerns over the contamination of the stream, which flows through several neighbourhoods in Gqeberha.

The stream has been emitting a strong sewage odour, which the council confirmed is due to ongoing sewage issues over the past few months. According to the residents who wished to remain anonymous, the municipality attempted to address a problem at a local complex by redirecting sewage drains into the stream. "As ratepayers, it is totally unacceptable to have a stream with open sewage behind our house," they said.

"Those living in Carstens Road have to deal with the unbearable

stench. We are well versed with this stream and its sudden change about three months ago. Unfortunately, our home is very close to the stream and we have to wake up and then end our day with the odour (especially if the wind blows wrong)," the resident said.

"This affects a vast area as far as the stream flows, Beverley Grove, Woodlands, Kamma Ridge, etc. We used to have an abundance of wildlife which has now declined as, we are sure, the water has killed some. We have grandchildren who enjoy playing at the back, but they can no longer do so, as it is too dangerous for them to even go close to the stream."

The residents concluded that they fear the situation could lead to disease outbreaks, and expressed frustration over paying high rates while facing such issues. The couple also expressed

EC Health Department clarifies no medicine shortage

NKOSAZANA NGWADLA

THE Eastern Cape Department of Health recently clarified that there is no shortage of medicines. The Department's Director of Communications, Siyanda Manana, said it aims to streamline its cash flow by ordering medication based on availability at depots. If an item has been at the depot for more than seven weeks, ordering may be delayed to avoid financial over-commitment to suppliers.

"Financial sustainability is a key pillar among the Department's five strategies. The Pharmaceutical Directorate seeks to achieve financial health through staggered ordering. The Pharmaceutical Unit monitors stock availability at depots in Mthatha and Gqeberha, which aids in financial sustainability," he clarified. Manana added that previously, inefficient stock monitoring led to overordering and resultant financial strain, keeping stock on shelves for

extended periods. This inability to streamline cash flow has impacted the Department's Goods and Services budget.

"The Department apologises for any previous communication suggesting restrictions on medicine ordering, which triggered panic. It reassures the public that there is no medicine shortage and is committed to not compromising patient care, seeking to ensure longer and healthier lives for citizens," the director concluded.

worries about the impact on property values, saying, this affects the marketability of their residences . The residents urged the municipality to take immediate action to rectify the situation.

In response, Sithembiso Soyaya, Municipal Spokesperson, said,

"The Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality is aware of a sewer line blockage in the vicinity of the Baakens River. The line was completely obstructed by a build-

up of fat, particularly at the section where the sewer line from Walker Drive Shopping Centre connects. Based on this, we suspect the source of the fat may be linked to that area. A cleanup operation has been arranged; however, adverse weather conditions have caused delays today. Additionally, a track inspector has been assigned to assess the line to prevent future occurrences. We appreciate the public’s patience as we work to resolve this issue."

Minister engages NMU amid protests, financial aid issues

NKOSAZANA NGWADLA

FOLLOWING a recent protest at the Nelson Mandela University (NMU), the Minister of Higher Education and Training, Dr Nobuhle Nkabane, visited the institution as part of her national roadshow to assess the readiness of higher learning institutions.

The PE Express previously reported that students protested on the first day of the academic year due to issues related to financial aid, accommodation, registration, and shuttle services.

The minister's visit provided a crucial platform for students and University Management to discuss ongoing challenges and initiatives.

Nkabane also praised NMU's stateof-the-art Science Centre, student housing strategies, and strategic partnerships with institutions like the South African International Maritime Institute.

However, she also addressed challenges, including the increasing gap between applications and available capacity, accommodation shortages, and student financial aid concerns.

Highlighting the issue of application fees, Dr. Nkabane criticised universities that charge students despite limited capacity. She stressed the need for a centralised system and collective efforts with Universities in South Africa, to address this.

In a statement, NMU Vice-Chancellor, Professor Sibongile Muthwa, was commended by the Minister for NMU’s policy of not charging application fees. Nkabane engaged with students and the Student Representative Council (SRC) to discuss pressing issues such as accommodation

and NSFAS-related concerns.

The Minister committed to deploying a departmental delegation to address outstanding student access and funding issues over a week. The SRC shared their initiatives, like launching a fund to help students with debt, and made a plea for donations.

SRC Secretary-General, Buhle Mchunu raised concerns over NSFAS defunding students mid-year, leading to payment issues and potential evictions from accommodation. In response, Nkabane emphasised the Ministry's commitment to addressing governance issues, noting

the appointment of a new NSFAS Board.

Professor Muthwa expressed gratitude for the Minister’s visit and reinforced the importance of collaboration in resolving challenges. “We have pointed out that none of these problems can be solved without collaboration among all of us. Fortunately, our University has a strong culture of engagement with our students,” she said.

The visit highlighted both the challenges faced by NMU, and the proactive steps being taken to ensure student success through cooperative

efforts among the University, the government, and student bodies.

In a separate statement, Deputy Minister of Higher Education and Training, Buti Manamelahe, said the exploitation of vulnerable students by landlords is deplorable and deeply worrying. This followed shocking reports that some landlords demand sexual favours from students in exchange for accommodation.

“I welcome the strong statement by NSFAS condemning these actions and the decisive steps to investigate, blacklist, and terminate the services of any implicated landlords,” Mana-

mela said.

He further emphasised the need for greater accountability and oversight in student accommodation. “Institutions, accommodation provider associations, NSFAS, and our department must work together to ensure that students are housed in safe, dignified environments, free from exploitation and abuse.”

Manamela urged affected students to report cases of exploitation immediately to their institutions, NSFAS, and law enforcement. “We will not tolerate anyone who preys on students,” he said.

While the reports of landlord abuse are disturbing, Manamela also acknowledged that the overall student registration process for 2025 has been largely smooth, with minor glitches that are being attended to.

NOMPUMELELO Adam, founder of Plus Size Innovation, is celebrating a significant milestone as her business expands with the addition of Stanley Saidi to the team.

This achievement marks a transformative point for Adam,

an entrepreneur driven by personal experiences and a vision to empower others through fashion.

Adam's journey began with a personal struggle to find stylish and comfortable clothing as a plus-size individual.

"I started Plus Size Innovation because I wanted to help other women feel beautiful and confident," she explained. Her brand’s distinctive offerings, notably the signature plus-size legging sets and crochet clothing, set her apart in a competitive market.

Her success is deeply rooted in the support from Masifunde Learner Development. "I'm grateful; Masifunde gave my business a platform to grow. Today, I'm proud to create jobs for others," Adam explained.

Masifunde provided her with invaluable resources, including a business hub, seed funding, industrial machines, mentorship, and bookkeeping services, all crucial in navigating the early challenges of entrepreneurship.

Transitioning from a solo venture to managing a team was a journey of learning and evolution.

"It was a rocky start, but I'm truly proud of the progress I've made," Adam admitted. Identifying a genuine need and staying true to her vision, combined with a strong network and the habit of celebrating small wins, were key to overcoming initial hurdles like limited resources and self-doubt.

Now, with the expansion of her team, Adam can serve more customers and drive innovation faster.

"Expanding my team means I can reach more people and explore new opportunities," she noted. When hiring, Adam prioritises candidates with a strong work ethic, excellent communication skills, and a shared passion for the brand's mission.

Maintaining company culture as the business grows is essential for Adam. She is committed to leading by example and living the company’s values, ensuring that Plus Size Innovation continues to thrive on its founding principles even as it expands.

Looking ahead, Adam’s aspirations extend beyond local success. She dreams of owning a plus-size factory catering for both men and women, with a global supply chain built on her existing international customer base.

Her vision is not just about fashion; it’s about fostering inclusivity and providing quality clothing for all body types worldwide.

Reflecting on her journey, Adam offered advice to aspiring entrepreneurs, "Believe in yourself, stay focused on your vision, and be open to learning from your mistakes."

She hoped that people would see her story as one of resilience, showcasing that personal challenges can fuel entrepreneurial innovation and empowerment.

Kuns-doyenne stal uit in die Baai

WILLEMIEN GREEN

’n OMVATTENDE solo-uitstalling van die Oos-Kaapse beeldhouer Maureen Quin se kunswerke kan deur alle belangstellendes in Gqeberha besigtig word.

Dié indrukwekkende uitstalling is veral van groot waarde omdat dit volgens Quin die laaste een in haar 90ste lewensjaar en 71 jaar as kunstenaar is.

“Daar is verskeie beeldhouwerke uit my jare as beeldhouer wat dikwels nie vir uitstallings aangebied was nie”, sê sy.

“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 energie wat die deur die beelde uitgestraal word. Die kontras tussen die sterk vorms en die spasie wat hulle opneem dra ook by tot elkeen se eie interpretasie van die werk en is geweldig interessant om aan te hou.

“My laaste kunswerke verteenwoordig veral my liefde vir gespierde vorms en die kragtige beenstruktuur van die menslike liggaam wat met soveel energie deur ruimtes kan beweeg. Volgens my, verteenwoordig die werke die tye waarin ons nou leef.”

Quin is in 1934 Bloemfontein gebore en woon steeds in die dorpie Alexandria in die Oos-Kaap.

Kunsliefhebbers kan gerus ook die Quin beeldhoutuin- en galery in Alexandria besoek waar meer as 100 van haar kunswerke in die tuin en in haar ateljee besigtig kan word.

’n Boek van haar kunswerke, Quin Sculpture: Sixty Years of Excellence is in 2014 uitgegee.

Die uitstalling by die GFI-kunsgalery in Gqeberha kan tot 17 Maart besigtig word.

Skakel die galery by 041 586 3973 vir inligting oor die uitstalling.

Vulumzi SSS honours outstanding learners, educators

SELBY MADIKANE

IT was all smiles and joy for the learners and educators when Vulumzi Secondary School honoured them for their excellent performance during last year’s final examinations recently.

Guest speaker, Luvo Dani, told the learners that they should refrain from doing wrong things.

Dani said, “You must choose the right friends. When I was a boy, I bunked classes so much that I ended up being a dropout. Life was difficult, and I had bad friends whose influence led me to jail. My mother was always heartbroken, and she died when I was young. I urge you, learners, to take education seriously because it is the key to success.”

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.

Following a breakthrough year in 2024, 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 been based for the past seven years, and a prominent contender on the lucrative European circuit, his decision to kick off his road running season on home soil speaks vol-

umes.

“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.”

Performing at the highest level against world-class 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.

“I was stoked to hear about that, which is why I wanted to compete in it in an attempt to do well,” he adds. “I also want to try something different and go to a different city I have never been to before. Racing in South Africa is unique. The running culture is different. I love the food afterwards 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 Absa Run Your City Series in 2025,” says Michael Meyer, Managing Director of Stillwater Sports and Founder of the Absa 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 record of 26:50.64 and finishing 10th on the world 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 top-tier 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."

Tennyson Mackay Athletics Series to take place in Gelvandale

SELBY MADIKANE

ALL roads will lead to Gelvandale Track Stadium as the Tennyson Mackay Athletics Series takes place on Saturday morning.

Event organizer Derrick Hoshe confirmed that this athletics series is a prestigious event. Hoshe appealed to schools and the public at large to arrive at the stadium on time, as it is expected to be a full house. Hoshe said, “The gates will open at 07:00, but the event will strictly commence at 09:00 sharp. Schools must not miss out. The

school with the most points will go home with the floating trophy. Shields are up for grabs for the best performance.”

As the event is mainly for persons under the age of 18, particularly learners, Hoshe appealed to spectators not to consume alcohol on the stadium premises, as alcohol is not allowed at all in the stadium. According to Hoshe, athletes and management will receive refreshments during the event.

Hoshe said, “To make this event the most glamorous one, I appeal to schools to bring along their school banners for the offi-

cial opening of the event. We would like to thank the teachers in advance, as their schools supported our program in large numbers last year.”

Hoshe said that the primary schools confirmed to participate are Alpha, GJ Louw, St Teresa, Frank Joubert, Parkside, Helenvale, Hillcrest, Fontein, West End, Greenville, Young Park, Bethelsdorp, Kleinskool, KwaNoxolo, Alfonso Aries, Triomf, Kroneberg, and Charles Duna. Interested schools are requested to contact Derrick Hoshe at 083 388 6562.

Baseball club aims for historic victory

HANNES SCHOEMAN

THE Londt Park Baseball Club could be well represented when the Mandela Bay team aims to make history at the interprovincial tournament in Cape Town in April.

The Eastern Cape team finished third last year in their best effort to date, but assistant coach, Hennie Stander firmly believes they could go one better this time.

According to Stander, Gary Bailey, Cameron van Niekerk, Connor Stopforth, and Jonothan Viljoen all have the ability to help the Nelson Mandela Bay team win the tournament for the first time ever.

“The players are in high spirits, and that clearly shows in training while we prepare for the event,” said Stander.

“All my players are in excellent form. Bailey, a second baseman and pitcher, has already played three years for the team and also attended a national training camp in Cape Town in December last year. And players like Van Niekerk, Stopforth, and Viljoen will never let the team down.”

He said the sport is healthy at Londt Park and the spirit is sound.

Stander is also full of praise for Viljoen, who is the chairman, for his efforts with the junior players.

“Jono does wonders with the youngsters,” said Stander.

“He spends a lot of time with them, and his success rate clearly shows. With him in charge of the juniors, the future is in good hands. The talent coming through is phenomenal.”

Viljoen is also the chairman of the Mandela Bay Baseball Association.

Stander himself is a legend at the club. He has been in charge of the senior side for the last four years and played for the club (formerly Parks) from the age of eight.

Stander has also been a member of the first team for the last 12 years.

Although there are currently only four senior clubs in the league, Stander believes the standard of baseball in the province is still excellent.

The other first-league clubs are Red Sox and Pirates in Despatch, and Gelvandale.
