R5.98m Loerie sewer upgrade officially launched KOUGA Local Municipality joined the Minister of Water and Sanitation, Pemmy Majodina, and the Department of Water and Sanitation (DWS) on 9 September for the official launch of the upgraded Loerie Sewer Pump Station and new Rising Main Project, a R5.98 million investment aimed at strengthening sewer infrastructure and improving service delivery in the Loerie community. According to a statement by the municipality, the project was developed and funded under the Water Services Infrastructure Grant (WSIG) to address recurring failures at the existing sewer pump station and the deteriorating condition of the existing rising main. Hattingh Bornman (Kouga Executive Mayor), Lorraine Maree (Speaker of Council), Councillor Reinhardt Foley (MMC for Civil and Water Services), Councillor Gregory Stuurman, Charles de Kock (Civil and Water Services Director) and members of the Civil and Water Services team joined Majodina and DWS representatives at the launch. Welcoming the Minister and her delegation to Kouga, Bornman described the project as an important step towards strengthening the municipality’s water and sanitation infrastructure. “It is an honour to welcome Minister Majodina and her team to Kouga. Today we are not simply opening a pump station; we are opening a door to better, more reliable service delivery for the people of Loerie,” said Bornman. “I am proud of what has been achieved, but I will also be the first to acknowledge that our work is far from over. Water and sanitation remain critical priorities for Kouga. We have plans in place, we have the will to implement them, and we will continue working with our

partners to ensure that our communities receive the services they deserve. “Infrastructure is not just concrete, pipes and machinery. It is about dignity. It is about protecting our communities, our environment and the quality of life of our residents. This project demonstrates what is possible when government works together with a clear purpose: to serve our people.” According to the municipality, it implemented the Loerie Sewer Pump Station upgrade and new Rising Main Project following recurring

failures of the existing pump station and concerns regarding the condition of the existing rising main. The project progressed through professional service appointments, DWS Business Plan approval, procurement, construction and completion. The R5.98 million project delivered a comprehensive upgrade, including: • A 225-metre new sewer pumping/rising main; • A 110-metre gravity sewer main; • A new sump arrangement and pump equipment;

The municipality indicated that the contractor for the project was LRC Civils CC, while MJM Consulting Engineers served as the professional service provider. Practical completion was achieved on 30 June, with the completion certificate issued on 31 August. The Water Use Licence was issued on 5 August. According to the municipality, the upgraded facility forms part of its broader commitment to keep Kouga serviced by investing in and maintaining critical infrastructure that supports communities. The launch also provided an opportunity for the municipality and DWS to engage on broader water and sanitation challenges facing the area, identify priority interventions and strengthen cooperation around sustainable solutions. The visit was followed by a public meeting, where Bornman and Majodina engaged directly with the Loerie community and responded to concerns raised by residents. The municipality indicated that, for Kouga, the Loerie project is a practical demonstration of the value of strong intergovernmental cooperation. “When we invest in infrastructure, we invest in people,” said Bornman. “Our responsibility is to ensure that every rand invested translates into infrastructure that works, services that are sustainable and communities that can look to the future with confidence.”

Youth learn farming skills through Ocean View garden RAZAAN PLAATJIES A VEGETABLE garden initiative in Ocean View is giving young people practical agricultural skills while promoting food security, economic empowerment and community development. The initiative, established by Abancedi Community Development Centre founder, Sakhekile Mbili, began in January 2024 after he noticed that land at Ebumnyameni Informal Settlement was being used as a dumping site. Instead of allowing the situation to continue, Mbili approached Kouga Local Municipality for permission to transform the land into a productive vegetable garden. “The vision was to create a space that could contribute to food security, fight poverty and inequality, and bring positive change to the community,” said Mbili. He said the garden forms part of the “God’s Farming” training programme, which aims to equip young people with agricultural knowledge and skills while encouraging them to view farming as an opportunity for personal development, food security and economic empowerment.

Mbili said “God’s Farming” forms part of the Abancedi Community Development Centre, while the training itself is offered through the Adopt-a-Village South Africa community transformation programme, which consists of four quarterly training modules focusing on discipleship, community development, and the care of orphaned and vulnerable children. He said involving young people in the training was important because they represent the future of their communities. “We wanted to give the participants from Adopt-a-Village an opportunity to gain practical skills that they can use in their own lives, and that could potentially lead to future livelihood opportunities,” said Mbili. He said participants were introduced to various aspects of vegetable production, including soil preparation, creating planting beds, planting seedlings, caring for crops, watering and garden maintenance. The training also allowed participants to learn through hands-on participation rather than only receiving information in a classroom. Mbili said the hope was that the skills would give young people the confidence and ability

to grow their own food, start small gardens at home or participate in community agricultural projects. “In the long term, these skills could also open doors to entrepreneurship, employment and other opportunities within the agricultural sector,” said Mbili. He said sustainable agriculture was also central to the programme, with participants encouraged to understand how to use land, water and other resources responsibly while producing healthy food. “Sustainability is important because we are not only farming for today; we are building something that can benefit future generations,” said Mbili. Further elaborating on the “God’s Farming” initiative, Abancedi Community Development Centre administrator, Mziyanda Resha, said it connects agriculture, faith and community development. “The name ‘God’s Farming’ reflects our belief that farming can be both a practical activity and an opportunity to serve others,” said Resha. He said land and resources available to the community should be used responsibly to help people. Resha said through farming, they can produce food, support vulnerable community members, teach young people valuable skills and bring people together around a common purpose. He said many young people face challenges, including limited access to training, equipment, land and economic opportunities. “There is also a need for more programmes that expose young people to skills that can lead to self-employment and entrepreneurship,” said Resha. He said vegetable gardening can also contribute to food security by increasing access to fresh and nutritious vegetables. “It can help vulnerable households access affordable food and, where production allows, create opportunities for community members to buy fresh produce at reasonable prices,” said Resha. He said the organisation’s vision was to continue expanding the garden and create more opportunities for agricultural training. Resha said they would like to reach more young people and community members and introduce additional areas such as recycling, food production, entrepreneurship and other community-development activities. He said they also hope to strengthen part-

nerships with organisations, businesses and government departments that can support the expansion of the programme. Resha said the response from young people had so far been positive, with participants showing interest and enthusiasm during the training. He said seeing the young people engage directly with the soil, seedlings and crops was encouraging. Resha said they believe that community development starts when people identify challenges and work together to create solutions. “What started with the transformation of an informal dumping site into a vegetable garden has grown into a broader vision of food security, skills development, youth empowerment and community upliftment” said Resha. He said they encourage young people and community members to view agriculture not only as a way of producing food, but also as an opportunity to create livelihoods, develop skills and make a positive difference in their communities.

Kouga begins bulk water project for KwaNomzamo KOUGA Local Municipality is set to commence with a bulk water infrastructure project aimed at strengthening water supply capacity in KwaNomzamo and supporting the area’s future residential growth. The KwaNomzamo Bulk Water Project involves the construction of a new water main from the Humansdorp Water Treatment Works to KwaNomzamo. The project represents a total investment of R16.7 million through the Water Services Infrastructure Grant (WSIG). The project has been necessitated by growing demand for water in the area. The existing system, which includes a 100mm diameter main from the Humansdorp Water Treatment Works and a supplementary connection to the Churchill rising main, is approaching its capacity. Water demand is projected to increase from approximately 1,541 kilolitres per

day to 2,702 kilolitres per day, largely as a result of planned housing developments and the formalisation of informal areas. Kouga Executive Mayor Hattingh Bornman said the investment was an important step towards ensuring that infrastructure keeps pace with development and the needs of communities. “Reliable water infrastructure is fundamental to sustainable development and the well-being of our communities. This project will strengthen the capacity of our water network and help ensure that KwaNomzamo is adequately equipped to accommodate both current and future demand,” said Bornman. The project will include the construction of approximately 315mm and 250mm diameter PVC-u Class 12 bulk water mains between the Humansdorp Water Treatment Works and KwaNomzamo. The new infrastructure is designed to de-

liver approximately 98.5 litres per second under peak demand conditions and 123.5 litres per second under peak demand combined with fire-flow requirements. The design will also connect to the existing 100mm main, providing additional redundancy within the network. Pressure management equipment will be incorporated to support efficient and reliable operation of the system. “The project is not only about increasing capacity; it is about building a more resilient water network that can support growth while improving the municipality's ability to manage demand and maintain reliable service delivery,” said Bornman. Construction will include crossings of the R330, R102 and Transnet railway line, using trenchless and open-trench construction methods where appropriate. Construction commenced earlier this

week and will be implemented in two phases. Phase 1 is scheduled to run for seven months during the 2026/2027 financial year, followed by a three-month Phase 2 during the 2027/2028 financial year. The project is expected to be completed by approximately 30 September 2027. Bornman said the municipality remained committed to investing in infrastructure that creates a strong foundation for sustainable growth. “Infrastructure investment is an investment in the future of our communities. By expanding the bulk water network now, we are preparing KwaNomzamo for future development while strengthening our ability to provide sustainable and reliable water services,” he said. Once completed, the municipality will operate and maintain the new infrastructure through its existing asset management systems and procedures.

Business events potential explored during site visit KOUGA Local Municipality hosted a twoday site inspection by representatives of the South African National Convention Bureau (SANCB), a unit of South African Tourism, on 10 and 11 September 2026. The visit, facilitated by the Kouga Tourism Department within the Finance and Economic Development Department, formed part of efforts to position Kouga as a destination for meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibitions, while showcasing the region’s venues, accommodation and tourism experiences. Kouga Executive Mayor Hattingh Bornman said business tourism presented an opportunity to broaden the municipality’s tourism economy and stimulate economic activity throughout the year. “Kouga is widely recognised as a leisure and holiday destination, but our region has much more to offer. We have quality venues, hospitality and a combination of coastal, nature, sporting and lifestyle experiences that make Kouga an attractive destination for business events,” said Bornman. “By positioning Kouga more strongly within the business-events market, we can attract new visitors, support local businesses and create opportunities for increased economic activity beyond the traditional holiday season.” During the two-day programme, the SANCB delegation visited three of Kouga’s key business-events venues: Cape St Francis Resort, St Francis Links and Mentors Country Estate. Cape St Francis Resort demonstrated the potential to combine conferences and meetings with accommodation, coastal experiences and leisure activities. Its setting provides an environment for conferences, corporate retreats, incentive groups and

team-building programmes. St Francis Links highlighted Kouga’s ability to deliver a premium business-events and incentive experience, combining conferencing, hospitality and golf within the St Francis Bay environment. Mentors Country Estate showcased the business-events potential in Jeffreys Bay, with facilities suited to conferences, exhibitions, functions and larger gatherings. Business events are about more than filling conference venues. Every conference, exhibition, meeting or incentive programme hosted in Kouga has the potential to generate economic activity throughout the local tourism value chain, from accommodation and restaurants to transport, catering and tourism activities. Business visitors are also introduced to Kouga as a leisure destination, creating the potential for delegates to return with their families. Bornman said the business-events market could also play a role in addressing tourism seasonality. “Our tourism economy has traditionally been strongly associated with the summer holiday season. Business events give us an opportunity to attract visitors throughout the year and to support tourism businesses during quieter periods,” he said. “A conference delegate who discovers our beaches, surfing, golf, nature, cuisine and hospitality may very well return to Kouga as a holidaymaker. That is the long-term value of business tourism.” The engagement with the SANCB is significant as destination marketing relies on partnerships between local, provincial and national tourism structures and the private sector. Stronger relationships with national business-events structures can improve

Kouga’s visibility among conference organisers, associations, corporate groups and incentive-travel planners. Kouga also has an opportunity to differentiate itself from city-based conference destinations, offering professional facilities combined with coastal, adventure, nature and lifestyle experiences. “We want people to see Kouga not simply as a place where they can hold a meeting, but as a destination where business and leisure can work together,” Bornman said. Growing the business-events economy requires collaboration between accommodation establishments, conference venues, restaurants, tourism-experience providers, transport operators, event suppliers and

tourism partners. The site inspection provided an opportunity to demonstrate the collective potential of Kouga as a business-events destination. Kouga Local Municipality extends its appreciation to the SANCB for visiting the region, as well as to Cape St Francis Resort, St Francis Links and Mentors Country Estate for showcasing their facilities and hospitality. “This visit is an important step in putting Kouga firmly on the business-events map,” Bornman said. “We have the venues, the infrastructure, the experiences and the hospitality. Most importantly, we have an industry with the potential to work together to grow this market.”

Thornhill’s Maria Pennacchini named StrongHer 2026 winner RAZAAN PLAATJIES MARIA Pennacchini’s journey from a difficult childhood to becoming a champion for children in Thornhill has earned her the Kouga Municipality’s StrongHer International Award 2026. Pennacchini was announced as the winner on 31 August during a special ceremony celebrating the eight finalists in the StrongHer Award. The eight finalists were Pennacchini, Leonie Plaatjies, Andiswa Qhoboshiyane, Nicole Moos, Maryke Pretorius, Lésa Seeney, Angela Hendriks and Elsa Senekal. According to the Kouga Municipality, the award recognises women whose often-unseen contributions strengthen their communities and bring hope to others. It forms part of the international partnership between Kouga Local Municipality and the City of Birmingham, Alabama, in the United States. For Pennacchini, the recognition comes after years of working with children and creating opportunities for them through Maria se Leesklas and Maria se Stasieskool. Her own childhood was marked by hardship. Born in Thornhill, Pennacchini said her mother struggled with alcohol abuse, resulting in her living in various places before her aunt took her in. She said her father later took her to a farm when she was four years old, but left her there after running away with another woman. “When the farmer chased me away, I lived in a horse stable. I kept warm with a sail because there were no blankets,” said Pennacchini. Her aunt was eventually called again and took her in, but Pennacchini said her mother later took her back and sold her when she was 11. Her aunt once again came to her aid and took her to a psychologist, where she was told that she was “not normal” and would never prog-

ress like other children. “They said my brain was like that of a seven-year-old child, but I was 16 years old,” said Pennacchini. Back in Thornhill, she found support at the Needlework Centre, where she said Joan Puttergill and Katie Rossouw taught her how to work. “They were like mother figures to me,” said Pennacchini. She later taught herself to read and write using the Bible. Today, Pennacchini describes herself as a strong woman who has refused to allow her past to determine her future. “I am now a strong woman because all the bad memories never got me down. I don’t look back; instead, every day I continue to persevere,” said Pennacchini. “I want to encourage other women. They must not let the past hold them back. That is what made me the woman I am today.” Pennacchini said she learnt not to allow her past to determine her future, nor to be defined by what others said about her. Instead, she chose not to remain trapped by her past. To assist the children in her community, she started helping them when she was 16 years old and has never stopped. Pennacchini also said her own childhood continues to motivate her work. “I don’t want the children of Thornhill to have to go through the same childhood I had. Everything I do is to change their lives,” said Pennacchini. Her love for children inspired the creation of Maria se Leesklas and Maria se Stasieskool, which she dreamed would provide a safe after-school environment where children could access opportunities she never had. “I dreamed of a place for children to come to after school where they are safe and are provided with opportunities I never had,” said Pennacchini. The programmes extend beyond reading to activities including dancing, kickboxing, rug-

by and recycling. Pennacchini said these activities are intended to give children more choices to build a good future and to be happy. For her, seeing children who may otherwise feel overlooked find support and a sense of belonging is at the heart of her work. “That is everything I want. I want the children to be happy and to know that there is someone who cares about them,” said Pennacchini. Reflecting on her younger self, she said the child she once was played an important role in shaping the woman she has become. “I am strong today because of you, little Ma-

ria. I am proud of you because you did not give up. Thank you for allowing me to climb out of the box,” said Pennacchini. According to a Kouga Municipality Facebook post, Pennacchini was recognised for her commitment to children and young people through Maria se Leesklas and Maria se Stasieskool, where children are given opportunities to learn, grow and discover their potential through reading, dancing, kickboxing, rugby and recycling activities. Kouga Executive Mayor Hattingh Bornman said choosing a winner had been exceptionally difficult because all eight finalists were worthy of recognition. “Choosing one StrongHer from among these remarkable women was incredibly difficult. Each of our finalists is a winner in her own right. They do amazing and selfless work in our communities, often without asking for recognition or expecting anything in return,” said Bornman. According to the municipality, as the 2026 winner, Pennacchini’s story and community project will be featured in the City of Birmingham’s StrongHer publication. A team from the Grace Klein Community in Alabama will also visit her project and facilitate a connection with an expert working in a similar field, creating opportunities for mentorship, guidance and growth. Pennacchini will further receive funding from the Mayor’s Office through the Mayoral Fund to support and strengthen her community initiative. Reflecting on her experience of the award, Pennacchini said she was surprised to have been nominated and enjoyed hearing about the work of the other finalists. “It was a wonderful experience, and I was so surprised when I heard that I was nominated! I truly did not expect it at all,” said Pennacchini. “It was so inspiring to hear what the other nominees were doing in their communities, and it was a privilege to be part of such a wonderful occasion.”

Oyster Bay pharmacist brings hope to rural community RAZAAN PLAATJIES PHARMACIST Lésa Seeney has dedicated her time to bringing healthcare and support services closer to vulnerable people in Oyster Bay and surrounding rural communities through the Oyster Bay Healing Centre. What began in a rusted old container in Umzamowethu, Oyster Bay, from 2021 to 2022 has since developed into a clinic offering healthcare and a range of community programmes. According to Seeney, the idea for the clinic came after community member Wendy Williams approached Herman Stoffberg, the founder of non-profit organisation Living Water, to ask for help in building a clinic. Construction began in June 2023 and was completed in 2024. The centre received its pharmacy licence in October 2025, and now operates as a fully licensed pharmacy where medication is dispensed. For Seeney, the need for services closer to home is particularly important in a rural community. “Oyster Bay is a beautiful place, but living in a rural community can make accessing basic services very difficult,” said Seeney. She said people from Umzamowethu can struggle to access healthcare and other support because of the distance involved or the cost of transport. “For many people, 28 kilometres to the nearest clinic may not sound very far, but when you do not have your own transport, it can become an enormous barrier,” said Seeney. She said a clinic visit can involve finding taxi money, losing a day’s income, arranging childcare and making several trips for follow-up appointments. “For a household already struggling financially, those costs can mean that healthcare is delayed or simply not accessed at all,” said Seeney. She said the centre provides services including healthcare, community outreach, TB and HIV-related

work, rehabilitation support, food security initiatives and assistance to vulnerable households. Seeney said bringing services closer also creates opportunities to identify health problems earlier. She said people can have their blood pressure, blood glucose and cholesterol checked, undergo TB screening, HIV screening and primary health care conditions. “The clinic gives people something extremely important, access to healthcare with dignity, within their own community,” said Seeney. Another part of the centre’s work involves helping people struggling with drug addiction to access rehabilitation. Seeney said working with people affected by addiction had shown her that the problem could not simply be reduced to telling someone to stop using drugs. “Behind addiction there is often trauma, poverty, unemployment, family breakdown, hopelessness or circumstances that most of us know very little about,” said Seeney. While people still need to take responsibility for their choices, she believes this should not come at the cost of their humanity. “If you treat somebody as though they are worthless, it becomes very difficult for that person to believe that their life can become something different,” said Seeney. She said the centre also creates employment opportunities for some people recovering from addiction. For Seeney, rehabilitation is only the beginning, as people eventually must return to everyday life. “Employment provides much more than an income. It gives a person routine, responsibility, purpose and dignity,” said Seeney. She said having a job can also help people move away from being defined by their addiction and instead see themselves as workers, colleagues, providers and contributors to their communities. Seeney said the centre’s work extends beyond Umzamowethu, with services also being provided to sur-

Lésa Seeney. rounding farming communities. She said distance and transport difficulties could make it difficult for farm workers to attend routine screenings. “Healthcare facilities may be far away, transport can be difficult, and workers cannot always take time away from work to attend routine screenings,” said Seeney. She said the centre conducts TB testing on farms and provides health education, while referring people to

clinics when necessary. “Sometimes the most important intervention is simply bringing the service to the person,” said Seeney. The centre also runs a nutrition programme for ECD centres in Umzamowethu and Grade R learners at Sandwater Primary School. In addition, the programme assists vulnerable people, including those who are sick, have TB or HIV, are malnourished or are experiencing financial difficulties.

Seeney said the Kouga Local Municipality Special Programmes Unit is the centre’s biggest sponsor, along with Kouga Wind Farm. Seeney’s involvement in the community recently brought an unexpected form of recognition when she was nominated for the Kouga Municipality’s StrongHer International Award, an experience she described as “absolutely phenomenal”. According to the municipality, the award recognises women who uplift and inspire their communities. Seeney said she did not know about the nomination until she received an invitation to attend the function. Rather than viewing the nomination as an individual achievement, she said the occasion gave her an opportunity to acknowledge those who had contributed to the centre’s work. “The nomination came as a huge surprise. I was very grateful for the opportunity, not for myself but to give credit to my dedicated team,” said Seeney. She also thanked community members and farm workers who had allowed the centre into their lives. “Without them there would be no StrongHer and Oyster Bay Healing Centre,” said Seeney. She described the event as an “amazing” experience and said hearing the stories of the other nominated women was inspiring. Seeney congratulated Maria Pennacchinni, who won the award, describing her as “a true inspiration”. For Seeney, the recognition reflects a broader belief about what strength means. “To me, being a StrongHer is not about never becoming tired, discouraged or overwhelmed. Strength is continuing despite those moments,” said Seeney. She believes community work requires people to work together and recognise that everyone has something valuable to contribute. “There are certainly difficult days, but there are also extraordinary moments of resilience,” said Seeney. “Seeing people regain hope is what keeps me committed.”

Humansdorp foster mother opens her heart to vulnerable children RAZAAN PLAATJIES FOR nearly three decades, abandoned and vulnerable children in Humansdorp have found a safe space in the home of a foster mother who continues to open her doors to those in need. Leonie Jacobs-Plaatjies has been Leonie Jacobs-Plaatjies. PHOTO: SUPPLIED

involved with abandoned children since 1996 and has cared for multiple children over the years, with some staying with her for short periods and others for many years. In January 1997, Jacobs-Plaatjies said she received her first foster child from the Department of Social Development.

The child was only one month old at the time. Jacobs-Plaatjies said four years later, in 2001, a social worker contacted her again to ask if she could assist with the care of her foster son’s sister, who was three years old at the time. In 2002, she welcomed her first biological child and later had a second biological child. In 2008, Jacobs-Plaatjies said the mother of the first two children she fostered later gave birth to a third child, who was also placed in her care. “Children need stable homes and love, which is what I want to give them,” said Jacobs-Plaatjies. She said her involvement in the community expanded when she became a committee member in Ward 4 and took over the health and welfare portfolio five years ago. Since social workers knew Jacobs-Plaatjies and knew that she was a good foster mother, she said she was able to assist with cases involving children who had been abandoned or neglected, as well as children who needed stable homes and love. Jacobs-Plaatjies said members of the community now contact her when they become aware of a child who needs somewhere safe to stay. “The community calls me, and I go to check on children who might need a temporary home to stay in,” said Jacobs-Plaatjies. She said weekends can be particu-

larly busy, with many incidents occurring in the community and her having to step in to assist affected children. At times, more than one child needs assistance, leaving Jacobs-Plaatjies to find a way to accommodate them in her two-bedroom home. “I don’t have a place for them to sleep because my house is small, but I make a plan because my heart is in it,” said Jacobs-Plaatjies. “Sometimes I must make a bed on the floor because I only have two bedrooms.” Jacobs-Plaatjies said there are many cases in the community involving alcohol and drug abuse, with children sometimes being left alone at night. She also assists children when a house burns down, taking them in when they need somewhere safe to stay. To assist more children and continue her work, Jacobs-Plaatjies said she needs help to establish a safe house. She said there is a vacant plot at the back of her yard and that she applied for ownership of the plot about two years ago. However, Jacobs-Plaatjies said the matter is still being processed. She also said she needs funding for a structure on the property so that she can have rooms for a functioning safe house. Jacobs-Plaatjies currently has two children staying at her house, further highlighting the need for

additional space to accommodate children who require a safe place to stay. She said her first foster son, whom she received in 1996, continued to motivate her to assist children in the community. Sadly, he passed away two years ago. Jacobs-Plaatjies said she plans to continue honouring him through fostering more children and hopefully establishing a safe house soon. “I always called him my son because I never saw him as my foster son; instead I saw him as my firstborn child,” said Jacobs-Plaatjies. “People could not believe that he was not my biological son because he looked like me.” Jacobs-Plaatjies’ community work led to her nomination for the Kouga Municipality’s StrongHer International Award. According to the municipality, the award recognises women who uplift and inspire their communities. Jacobs-Plaatjies said she was honoured, speechless and emotional about the nomination, particularly because one of the nominees was one of her foster children. She described the nomination as a token of gratitude from her foster child. Despite her excitement, Jacobs-Plaatjies said she was nervous about attending the StrongHer event because it was the first time she had participated in an event with a group of other people.

Drie van Kareedouw na SA boogskiet Forever homes HANNES SCHOEMAN ’n KLEIN plaasskooltjie in Kareedouw is supertrots nadat drie van sy leerders vir die Oostelike Provinsie se boogskietspan gekies is wat van 28 September to 3 Oktober aan die nasionale kampioenskappe by die Mentors Country Estate op Jeffreysbaai deelneem. “Dis vir ons as gemeenskap ’n baie groot eer om van ons kinders in die OP-span te

hê,” sê Peet Struwig, ’n ouer en plaaslike organiseerder. Die skool, die CVO Omega Akademie, wil nou vorentoe nog meer op die nuwe OosKaapse sport konsentreer. “Twee hoërskoolleerders, Peet Struwig (gr. 11) en Zané van Aswegen (gr. 9), en een laerskoolleerder, Elmé Fourie (gr. 7), sal ons vlag en hoop dra. “Hulle is deeglik voorbereid en ons sien

geweldig uit daarna om te sien wat hulle op ’n hoë vlak kan doen,” sê hy. Die boogskiet word egter nie in die skool aangebied nie, maar wel by die Langkloof-boogskietklub. Verder is drie skoliere ook gekies om deel te wees van die Africa Genesis Archery (AGA) Oos-Kaapse skolespan wat aan die 2026 nasionale interprovinsiale kampioenskappe gaan deelneem.

Surfer Boys reg vir die volgende hekkie HANNES SCHOEMAN NADAT die Jeffreysbaai-rugbyklub sopas sy beste seisoen in sy bestaan afgehandel het, wil die klub nou na ’n hoër rat oorskakel. So sê die trotse en opgewonde president,

Llewellyn Johnson. “Ons het die afgelope seisoen - ons heel eerste in die OP se Top12-kompetisie - geskiedenis gemaak deurdat dit die eerste keer is dat die groot spanne ons begin vrees. “Hulle weet nou geen wedstryd teen ons is

maklik nie. “Dit was aan die begin van ’n uiters strawwe seisoen ondenkbaar dat ons die kwarteindronde van die kompetisie sou haal. Ja, ons was op die dag nie goed genoeg teen PE Harlequins nie en het met 43-21 vasgeval. “Ek bars van trots op my Surfer Boys. Hulle is toegwyd en oorgehaal om ten alle tye hul allerbeste te lewer. Ons doel was in geen stadium om die uitspeelrondes te haal nie, maar net om ons plek in die Top12 te behou.” Johnson, ’n oud-skrumskakel en kaptein van die span, sê hy het nege maande gelede as president teruggekeer na die klub en daar het uit die staanspoor ’n verandering begin intree. “Die Here het met doel terug geroep klub toe om ’n groot verandering te bring vir die spelers - nie net op veld maar ook van die veld af. Hiervoor is ek baie dankbaar, want ons is een groot gelukkige familie,” sê hy. Johnson sê ook die klub is in die gelukkige posisie om die weldoener en bestuurslid soos Robin Robertson van House of Glass & Aluminium in sy geledere te hê. “Robin dra die klub se belange op die hart en is ook baie na aan die spelers. Hy is goud werd vir die klub en ook ’n groot kenner van die spel,” sê Johnson.
