Security officer disputes Evans’braai claim SHANTI JAFTA A WITNESS in the murder trial of Gqeberha businessman Robert “Rob” Evans on Tuesday, 3 November, has questioned his account of how he discovered his girlfriend, Vanessa van Rensburg, unresponsive at his Oyster Bay holiday home, testifying that there were no signs of an active braai or that one had taken place. Evans (58) is standing trial in the Gqeberha High Court for the alleged murder of Van Rensburg (36), whose body was discovered at the holiday property during the Easter weekend in April 2025. He faces charges of premeditated murder, attempted murder, kidnapping and defeating or obstructing the ends of justice. Van Rensburg was a mother of two and an employee at Algoa Plastics, the company co-owned by Evans. An evening gathering Keith Belling, the fourth State witness, testified that he had known Evans for about six years through business. He said Evans and Van Rensburg attended a gathering at his home as guests of their mutual friend, Michael McAfee, with about nine people present. Belling said Van Rensburg did not appear intoxicated and he noticed no animosity between the couple. Van Rensburg left at about 19:30, while Evans stayed for another drink. Belling said they had planned to have their own braai. Van Rensburg walked home, which he said was not unusual in Oyster Bay. Under cross-examination by defence counsel Paul Roelofse, Belling clarified that the couple had arrived together but left separately. He was

McAfee was the last to leave, and Belling later drove him to Evans’s property because his vehicle was parked there. Accounts heard on the way Kirsty Reilly, the fifth State witness, said she was sober and spoke to Van Rensburg during the gathering. She said Van Rensburg had been drinking gin. Reilly left at about 20:00, after the Formula One race, while Evans stayed for another drink. A photograph she took at 19:38 was admitted as an exhibit.

Reilly testified that at about 02:00 on 20 April, she woke after hearing someone shout: “Help, help, Vanessa is dead.” She saw Evans in the passage before the group made their way to his property. Reilly said she overheard Evans speaking to Carl Roloff on the way and heard different explanations about what had happened: that Van Rensburg had fallen down the stairs, had gone missing, and that Evans had been having a braai before returning to find her on the floor. She clarified that Evans had not personally given her an explanation. At the property, she saw paramedics performing CPR on Van Rensburg near the sliding door. She described her as pale, with blood on her top. Reilly recalled seeing redness on the side of Van Rensburg’s neck but could not say whether it was bruising. She also disputed a reference in her statement to Van Rensburg drinking whiskey. “Whiskey was incorrect,” she told the court, saying Van Rensburg had been drinking gin and water. She said she had seen her drink only one glass. Security officer testiﬁes about Evans’conduct Bulela Xhongo, the sixth State witness, is a Calibre Security response officer in Oyster Bay. He testified that he was dispatched to Evans’s property after an alarm activation, where he found Evans sitting on a windowsill with a glass in his hand. Xhongo said Evans appeared drunk and struggled to stand, spilling his drink. While Xhongo was there, the alarm sounded again and a woman wearing blue jeans and a green top came out of the garage. Evans allegedly swore at her about the whereabouts of the keys. Xhongo later identified the wom-

an as Van Rensburg, who did not respond. “I don’t feel good seeing that,” Xhongo testified, explaining why he left. The court heard that a request for assistance at the property was sent to Calibre Security at 01:32 on 20 April. Xhongo responded at 01:34 that he would attend again. On his later attendance, he saw Van Rensburg lying on the floor and Evans sitting on a couch nearby. Xhongo testified that Evans told him he had been in the braai room and, when he returned, found Van Rensburg lying on the floor. Asked by prosecutor Marius Stander whether he had seen a braai or any remnants indicating one had taken place, Xhongo said he had not. He added that Evans appeared more sober during the later attendance. State’s allegations In its summary of substantial facts, the State alleges that Evans and Van Rensburg had been in a relationship since May 2024 and that it was abusive from the outset. It alleges that Evans locked Van Rensburg inside his vehicle in May 2024 and assaulted her in February 2025, leaving her with a head wound, blood on her face and bruising around her neck. These allegations have not yet been dealt with in the evidence heard during the trial. The State further alleges that Van Rensburg was killed by being struck with a bottle or another blunt object and/or strangled. It also alleges that Evans disturbed the scene, delayed seeking medical assistance and provided false information about her death. The matter was postponed until today, Thursday, 5 November for the continuation of the trial. Evans will remain in custody.

New Humansdorp Primary School officially handed over THE newly constructed Humansdorp Primary School was officially handed over on Friday, 30 October, in Boskloof, marking a significant milestone for education infrastructure in the Kouga region. The school on Erf 3298 was delivered through a public-private partnership between the Kouga Wind Farm Community Development Trust, the Eastern Cape Department of Education and Kouga Local Municipality. Spanning 8.5 hectares, the facility features an Education Block, an Administration and Grade R Block for Foundation Phase, a hall and cafeteria, and sports fields. The fee-paying, English-medium public school offers Grade R to Grade 7 and delivers the CAPS curriculum through an Afrocentric value structure combined with project-based learning, with a special focus on coding and robotics. Speaking ahead of the ceremony, Minister of Basic Education, Siviwe Gwarube, said the handover demonstrated what could be achieved when government and community development trusts pooled resources to unlock the potential of learners from foundational levels upward. Gwarube said addressing the country’s infrastructure challenges required active and innovative partnerships, and that the school proved what was possible when government and community development trusts worked together. The Kouga Wind Farm Community Development Trust has invested more than R165

million in education and skills development over the past four years, an investment Gwarube said demonstrated the impact of partnerships in strengthening education. She added that while the vision and the action were worth celebrating, the focus now had to be on delivering tangible outcomes, because every child deserved a place where their future could begin. The school, whose teams are known as the Crimson Cranes, has been described as a “miracle school” by its community. In a statement, the school said the handover marked the realisation of a long-held vision, turning what had once been an aspiration into a functioning campus. The school said it believed that well-designed spaces carried a simple message to learners: that they mattered, that they belonged, and that their future was worth investing in. The statement thanked the Kouga Wind Farm Community Development Trust, the Eastern Cape Department of Education, Kouga Local Municipality, and every partner and individual who had contributed to making the project possible. The school said the handover was only the beginning of its journey alongside staff, parents and learners, and expressed confidence that the impact of the school would extend far beyond the campus, with generations of children, families and communities set to experience the difference that quality education could make.

Breast cancer, mental health awareness event draws community ALULUTHO MADOLO THE Sakhe Family Care Development Centre hosted a breast cancer and mental health awareness event at the AFM Church in Golf Course, bringing together community members, healthcare professionals and support organisations. The aim of the event was to raise awareness about breast cancer and mental health, educate community members about the importance of early detection and seeking appropriate healthcare, and encourage individuals and families to prioritise their emotional and psychological well-being. The event also sought to create a supportive environment where people could access information, ask questions, and understand the importance of seeking help without fear of judgement or discrimination. Managing Director of Sakhe Family Care Development Centre, Thanduxolo Buka, said people may experience fear, anxiety, uncertainty, stress, or depression. "By addressing both issues, we wanted to highlight that physical health and mental well-being are interconnected and that individuals need holistic support that considers both their physical and emotional needs.” Khanyisa Ntombi Bailey, a breast cancer survivor, shared her contribution to the breast cancer awareness discussion, bringing valuable personal insight into the importance of awareness, early detection, and support for those

Siviwe Mapipa, from On Eagles Wings, addressed mental health and the support services offered by the organisation. "The activities included educational talks, health awareness discussions and Pap smear testing and TB screening at a mobile clinic that the Department of Health provided on the day. Participants received information about breast cancer and mental health, while the speakers highlighted the importance of early healthcare intervention and accessing appropriate support services," Buka said. Buka said breast cancer can affect a person's emotional well-being at different stages, from the

fear of receiving a diagnosis to the challenges associated with treatment and recovery. Individuals may experience anxiety, sadness, uncertainty, changes in body image, financial stress and concerns about their families and future. "It is important to address mental health alongside physical health. Emotional support can help individuals cope with difficult experiences, communicate their needs and seek assistance when necessary. Families also need information on how to support loved ones who may be affected. Our message is that seeking psychological support is an important part of overall healthcare and should not be overlooked," he said.

"We wanted community members to understand that they do not have to face health challenges alone. Families, healthcare professionals and community organisations all have a role to play in creating supportive environments where people feel safe to seek help." Through the organisation, Buka said, they continue to promote awareness, family support and access to relevant community services. "We encourage individuals who need assistance to contact the organisation for guidance on available support and appropriate referrals," he said. He said the event formed part of the Families Programme's broader commitment to strengthening

families, promoting healthy relationships and improving the well-being of individuals and communities. "We recognise that families can experience challenges related to health, emotional well-being, parenting and social circumstances, all of which can affect family stability and functioning." "Through awareness campaigns and community-based interventions, the programme seeks to equip individuals and families with knowledge, encourage early intervention and connect community members with relevant support services. The event was an opportunity to address health concerns while reinforcing the importance of family and community support." "We aim to reduce stigma, promote early access to healthcare, strengthen family support systems and encourage collaboration between community organisations and service providers. Ultimately, we want families to have the knowledge and support they need to respond to challenges, protect their well-being and build safer, healthier and more resilient communities," said Buka. Speaking with Kouga Express, Buka said the Sakhe Family Care Development Centre Families Programme believes that healthy families are built when individuals have access to information, healthcare and emotional support. “We remain committed to working with stakeholders to promote awareness, strengthen families and build healthier, more resilient communities."

150 Thornhill households get electricity in R1.72m project KOUGA Local Municipality has reached an important milestone with the electrification of Tjoks Informal Settlement in Thornhill, bringing electricity to 150 households through a R1.72 million infrastructure investment. According to the Kouga Municipality, the project, which includes the installation of 23 electricity poles and a 315 kVA, 11 000/400V transformer, was completed at a total cost of R1,722,566.60. It marks the first electrification project undertaken by Kouga Local Municipality in Thornhill, where electricity provision falls under the jurisdiction of Nelson Mandela Bay Metropolitan Municipality. Kouga Executive Mayor, Hattingh Bornman, described the project as a significant step towards improving living conditions and expanding access to essential services. “Access to electricity is about far more than simply switching on a light. It provides households with greater safety, dignity and opportunities to improve their quality of life. For families in Tjoksville Informal Settlement, this project represents meaningful progress and brings us closer to our goal of creating safer, more liveable communities. “We are particularly proud that this is the first electrification project undertaken by

Jaques Alexander (Member of the Mayoral Committee for Electro and Mechanical Services), Danile Mavis Thembani (resident), and Hattingh Bornman (Kouga Executive Mayor). PHOTO: SUPPLIED Kouga Local Municipality in Thornhill. It demonstrates our commitment to addressing community needs and working towards improved service delivery, even in areas where

municipal responsibilities and jurisdictional boundaries require careful coordination,” said Bornman. The electrification project forms part of

Kouga Local Municipality’s broader efforts to expand access to basic services and improve infrastructure in both formal and informal settlements. Bornman emphasised that the project should be viewed as the beginning of further development in the area. “This is not a once-off intervention. We have identified several projects for Thornhill, and this electrification initiative is the first of a number of planned interventions. We want residents to see tangible progress and to know that their needs remain part of our service-delivery priorities. “By investing in infrastructure, we are laying the foundation for improved living conditions and stronger communities. We will continue working towards practical solutions that make a meaningful difference in the lives of our residents,” he said. Over the past five years, the municipality has extended electricity access to a total of 2,846 households in informal settlements and a further 795 households in formal settlements at a combined cost of R 55.5 million. The Tjoksville project adds to these efforts, helping to improve access to a service that is essential for household wellbeing, economic activity and community development.

30 young people equipped through youth development programme KOUGA Local Municipality, in partnership with The Leadership Experience, equipped 30 young people from across the region with practical skills and career guidance through a five-day Youth Development Innovation Hub programme at the Tokyo Sexwale Sport Hall in Jeffreys Bay. The programme, which ran from 26 to 30 October, targeted unemployed young people, those struggling to find work and those exploring different career pathways, combining personal development, employability training, entrepreneurship, workplace exposure and community service.

It followed five stages — Develop, Prepare, Equip, Expose and Serve — with each day focusing on a different aspect of youth development. The first day focused on self-awareness, character development and emotional intelligence, with participants identifying their strengths, values and areas for growth. Sessions also covered communication, decision-making, resilience, discipline and personal responsibility. Day two shifted to career readiness, with participants exploring career pathways, learning about workplace expectations and developing practical skills in CV writing, interview prepa-

ration and digital literacy. They also had the opportunity to practise communication skills and develop personal career action plans. Entrepreneurship and financial responsibility took centre stage on the third day, with participants exploring how to identify opportunities in their communities, develop business or income-generating ideas, and understand the fundamentals of budgeting, pricing and saving. The programme also introduced servant leadership, emphasising responsibility, teamwork and using one’s influence to serve others. Participants then stepped beyond the classroom for exposure to workplaces and organ-

isations, intended to help them connect their interests and abilities with real-world skills, career possibilities and potential opportunities. The final day brought the learning into the community through supervised community-service activities. Participants reflected on their contributions, explored further opportunities through a career fair and identified practical next steps for their personal and professional development. The programme concluded with a graduation celebration and the presentation of certificates in recognition of the participants’ engagement and learning.

Padlangs vier 20 jaar – en die pad vorentoe beloof iets besonders OP 1 November 2026 het Padlangs Country Restaurant & Shop, ’n bekende baken in die Gamtoosvallei, sy 20ste bestaansjaar gevier. Wat in 2006 as ’n jong vrou se droom van ’n eenvoudige padstal begin het, het oor twee dekades gegroei tot ’n geliefde kuierplek waar families, vriende, plaaslike inwoners en besoekers van regoor Suid-Afrika al ontelbare herinneringe gemaak het. En soos met enige goeie reis, was daar draaie, opdraandes, uitdagings en heelwat verrassings langs die pad. Van kriminologie tot koffie en koek Die storie van Padlangs begin eintlik met ’n liefdesverhaal. Nadat Heidi Muller haar studies in Sielkunde en Kriminologie voltooi en haar droomwerk by Suid-Afrika se eerste privaat maksimumsekuriteitsgevangenis buite Bloemfontein begin het, het ’n lang, donkerkop boer van Patensie haar hart gesteel. Sy het haar loopbaan vaarwel toegeroep en saam met haar man, Jaco, ’n nuwe lewe in die Gamtoosvallei begin. Met die geboorte van hul oudste dogter, Jenna, in 2005 het Heidi besluit om haar droom van ’n padstal ’n werklikheid te maak. Op 1 November 2006, op 28-jarige ouderdom en vier maande swanger met hul tweede dogter, Isabella, het sy Padlangs se deure oopgemaak. “Ek het destyds bitter min van die restaurantbedryf geweet. Om die waarheid te sê, ek het op skool houtwerk eerder as huishoudkunde gekies! Maar ek het ’n droom gehad, en soms moet ’n mens maar net waag,” vertel Heidi met ’n glimlag. Wat as ’n klein padstal met ’n paar ligte etes begin het, het mettertyd ontwikkel tot ’n volwaardige plattelandse restaurant en winkel. ’n Stukkie Gamtoosvallei op ’n bord Padlangs het oor die jare bekend geword vir sy ontspanne plaasatmosfeer, ruim porsies, tradisionele geregte en natuurlik die pragtige omgewing tussen die sitrusboorde. Van afval, bobotie, wildspastei en roosterkoek tot ontbyte, burgers en pizzas – Padlangs het nog altyd probeer om iets vir elke smaak te bied. Maar vir Heidi was Padlangs nog nooit net oor kos nie. “Ek wou nog altyd hê mense moet hier

aankom en voel hulle is welkom. Dat kinders kan speel, ouers rustig kan kuier en families tyd saam kan deurbring. Ons wou nie net kos verkoop nie, ons wou ’n plek skep waar herinneringe gemaak word.” Die skuif na die huidige perseel op die familieplaas, sowat tien jaar ná die opening, het ’n nuwe hoofstuk ingelui. Met sy groot grasperke, uitsig oor die sitrusboorde en speelruimte vir kinders het Padlangs verder ontwikkel as ’n bestemming waarheen mense spesiaal ry. Die onthaalruimte, Die Grand, het ook deur die jare die agtergrond gevorm vir troues, verjaarsdae, funksies en ander besondere geleenthede. Twintig jaar se mense en herinneringe Wanneer Heidi oor die afgelope twintig jaar terugdink, is dit veral die mense wat uitsta-

an. “Ons het ongelooflike mense oor die jare by Padlangs leer ken. Daar is gesinne wie se kinders hier gespeel het en wat vandag as volwassenes terugkom. Ons het verjaarsdae, herdenkings, troues en soveel spesiale oomblikke saam met ons gaste beleef.” Padlangs het ook oor die jare werksgeleenthede vir mense uit die omgewing geskep. Verskeie personeellede het vir baie jare deel van die Padlangs-familie gevorm, terwyl jongmense, insluitend Heidi en Jaco se eie kinders, tydens skoolvakansies hul eerste werkservaring daar opgedoen het. “Ons kinders het letterlik saam met Padlangs grootgeword. Dit was nog altyd deel van ons gesinslewe, en ek dink hulle verstaan vandag baie goed hoeveel harde werk agter ’n besigheid se deure aangaan.”

Die Padlangs span is Jody Jeneker, Heidi Muller en Ella Jacobs.

Heidi erken dat twintig jaar in die gasvryheidsbedryf beslis nie altyd maklik was nie. “Daar was wonderlike tye, maar ook moeilike jare. Ons het ekonomiese uitdagings, droogtes, die COVID-tydperk en die gewone onsekerhede van ’n plattelandse onderneming beleef. Tog is ons vandag hier, twintig jaar later, en daarvoor is ek ongelooflik dankbaar.” ’n Nuwe hoofstuk vir Padlangs in 2027 Hoewel twintig jaar ’n geleentheid is om terug te kyk, is Heidi reeds opgewonde oor wat voorlê. Groot planne word vir 2027 beraam, met ’n nuwe visie vir Padlangs en sy pragtige ligging in die Gamtoosvallei. “Ek glo ’n mens moet weet wanneer dit tyd is om nuwe drome te droom. Padlangs het oor twintig jaar saam met ons gesin en ons gemeenskap gegroei. Nou is dit tyd om weer vars na die toekoms te kyk.” Die beplanning sluit ’n nuwe fokus op besondere geleenthede, onthaal en die verdere ontwikkeling van die bestaande ruimtes in. “Ons wil voortbou op dit wat Padlangs nog altyd besonders gemaak het – die ligging, die atmosfeer en die geleentheid om mense bymekaar te bring. Daar lê ’n opwindende nuwe hoofstuk voor, en ons sien baie daarna uit om dit met almal te deel.” Dankie vir twintig jaar se saamstap Vir Heidi bly haar wortels in die Gamtoosvallei die hart van die Padlangs-storie. “My oupa, Dirk Schellingerhout, het diep spore in hierdie Vallei getrap. My ouers en skoonouers het ons ook geleer om trots te wees op waar ons vandaan kom. Ek is bevoorreg om hier te kon grootword, my eie kinders hier groot te maak en ’n onderneming te bou in die plek wat ek my tuiste noem,” sê Heidi. “Baie dankie aan elke personeellid, elke verskaffer, elke vriend en elke gas wat oor die afgelope twintig jaar deel van ons reis was. Dankie vir elke koppie koffie, elke ete, elke kuier en elke keer wat julle weer teruggekom het. “Twintig jaar se herinneringe lê agter ons, maar die pad vorentoe is nog lank nie klaar gestap nie. Dankie dat julle die pad saam met ons stap – sommer so Padlangs.”

‘Oom’Toll bids farewell to Kouga Local Municipality AFTER years of hard work, laughter and lasting friendships, Christo Toll, affectionately known as Oom Toll, is preparing to turn the page on a remarkable chapter of his life as he retires from Kouga Local Municipality this month. For the 65-year-old, who officially joined the municipality on 1 May 2008, his working life has been about more than just getting the job done. It has been about people, teamwork and making the most of every opportunity that comes his way. Toll’s journey with the municipality began with casual work between 2005 and 2008 after renovations at his previous place of employment left him without a workshop in which to work. Born and raised in Humansdorp, he attended Meyersgift Church School before moving to Graslaagte Primary School. He began his high school education at Middelbare School and completed Grade 11 at Humansdorp Secondary School. His working life took him down several different paths, equipping him with a variety of practical skills that would later serve him well in the municipality’s maintenance section. “I started working for a contractor, basically doing everything from painting to carpentry. Then I worked at the fish shop for a while before joining a garage, where I fitted tyres, shock absorbers and exhausts,” he recalled. “So, in life, I did a bit of everything. When I found myself unemployed, I went back to painting for a contractor while doing casual work for the municipality. On 1 May 2008, I was appointed as a handyman in the municipality’s maintenance section in Jeffreys Bay.” Looking back on his years of service, Toll says he has enjoyed every moment. “I love my job. I love my people. For me, it is important to lift the mood at work,

Christo Toll, affectionately known as ‘Oom’ Toll, will retire from Kouga Local Municipality this month.

and it is important that people are happy,” he said. Those who know him will recognise that sentiment as a reflection of his personality. Always ready with a joke, Toll believes that a little laughter can go a long way in making the workplace a happier place. His positive outlook on life, he says,

stems from the values instilled in him by his parents and the way he was raised. “We were taught to be satisfied with the little. We knew that we should share what we have with others. I teach my children the same principles,” said the father of five. When he is not at work, Toll enjoys

watching sport, relaxing and helping his wife whenever she needs him. Retirement, however, does not mean that he intends to put his feet up and do nothing. His wife runs a daycare facility, and he plans to lend a helping hand while also turning his attention to his garden, which needs plenty of care after the recent rains. While Toll is looking forward to this new chapter, his departure will leave a noticeable gap among colleagues who have come to regard him as more than just a co-worker. Colleagues Colin Solomon and Jacob January say they will miss his presence, his energy and the close relationships they have built over the years. According to January, Toll has become an essential part of their daily routine. “He still has to decide who he will give the keys to open up the office. He is there first and makes the coffee for all of us who come later,” January said. Solomon added that it was not only Toll’s energy that they would miss, but also the bonds they had formed through the years. “We are there for each other in good times and bad. His family is ours,” he said. For Toll, these friendships are among the most valuable things he will take with him into retirement. As he prepares to say goodbye to his daily routine, he leaves his colleagues with a message that reflects the values he has lived by throughout his career. “Our unity has always been our strength in all the seasons of our lives. We are more like family,” he said. As Oom Toll closes this chapter, his legacy will be remembered not only in the work he has done, but also in the laughter he has shared, the friendships he has nurtured and the sense of togetherness he has helped build.

GRANNY GROMMETS:

Riding waves,chasing dolphins and saying yes to life EVERY Friday morning, weather permitting, a curious little gathering takes place at Dolphin Beach in Jeffreys Bay. A group of women arrives carrying boogie boards, exchanging hugs, comparing weather forecasts and keeping a hopeful eye on the ocean. What happens next depends largely on the sea. There might be perfect waves. There might be dolphins. There might be fish weaving through the shallows. There will definitely be laughter. Welcome to the world of the Granny Grommets. Now entering their third year, the Granny Grommets have become far more than a group that meets at the beach. They have become a community built on friendship, encouragement, shared adventure and a deep appreciation for the simple joys that life offers. According to Jenni Friedenstein, one of the driving forces behind the group, what began as a shared love of the ocean has grown into something much bigger. It has become a place where women encourage one another, celebrate life’s little victories and rediscover the joy of trying something new. Many newcomers arrive with reasons why they won’t be getting into the water. “I haven’t been in the ocean for years.” “I’m only here to watch.” “I’m definitely not riding one of those.” The Granny Grommets smile knowingly. They’ve heard it all before. Someone offers a boogie

Granny Grommets have become a community built on friendship. PHOTOS: SUPPLIED board. A small wave rolls in. A little encouragement follows. Before long, another spectator has become a wave rider. It happens with surprising regularity. Women who haven’t ventured into the sea for ten, 15 or even 20 years suddenly find themselves eagerly awaiting Friday mornings. They discover that confidence, like a wave, often arrives when you stop standing on the shoreline wondering and decide to jump in. Of course, the ocean always has other plans too. A dolphin sighting can instantly turn a calm gathering into a chorus of excited pointing and

delighted conversation. Fish darting through the clear water attracts just as much enthusiasm. The Granny Grommets have mastered the art of being wonderfully excited by life’s small surprises. And perhaps that’s the secret. They notice things: The beauty of the ocean. The joy of friendship. The thrill of trying something new. The satisfaction of doing something today that yesterday seemed impossible. Over the past two years, the group has created countless memories together. Some involve catching waves. Others

involve cheering each other on. Many simply involve standing in the sunshine, sharing stories and appreciating the moment. Sometimes those adventures lead somewhere unexpected. Recently, the group enjoyed a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it appearance on Carte Blanche. One moment they were enjoying another seaside adventure and the next someone was calling family members to say, “Quick, turn on the TV... there we are!” The moment lasted only seconds. The laughter lasted much longer. Perhaps that little cameo perfectly sums up the Granny Grommets. The group began with a shared love of the ocean, but along the way it became something more. It became proof that adventure doesn’t always require elaborate plans or exotic destinations. Sometimes it’s waiting at your local beach on a Friday morning. Sometimes it’s hidden inside a conversation with a stranger who soon becomes a friend. Sometimes it’s found on a boogie board. Sometimes it’s a dolphin appearing unexpectedly beyond the breakers. And sometimes it’s simply the decision to remain curious about life. The Granny Grommets gather at Dolphin Beach most Friday mornings at around 09:40, weather permitting. During the quieter months, when children are at school and grandchildren are busy with their own adventures,

the ocean becomes the perfect meeting place. December is often another story altogether, as visiting families, holidaymakers and grandchildren happily reclaim everyone’s attention. In the meantime, the waves keep rolling in. The dolphins continue to surprise. The friendships continue to grow. And every Friday brings the possibility of something unexpected. Perhaps that’s the real lesson from the Granny Grommets. Life doesn’t stop offering adventures. Sometimes we simply need the courage to paddle out and meet them. For those curious about what happens on Friday mornings, the Granny Grommets share updates and information through the Granny Grommets Jeffreys Bay Facebook group. They can also be found on Instagram at @grannygrommetsjbay, where some of the group’s ocean adventures and memorable moments are shared. The Granny Grommets can’t promise dolphins every Friday. But they can promise a warm welcome, plenty of encouragement and a group of women who believe life is best enjoyed together. After all, life has a funny way of rewarding those who remain curious enough to step beyond the shoreline. And sometimes, all it takes is a boogie board, a few friends and the courage to catch the next wave.

St Francis Bubbles Festival a huge success THE second St Francis Bubbles Festival, Bubbly in the Bay, sold out every ticket and filled The Quays Waterfront on Saturday 24 October, with South Africa’s finest Méthode Cap Classique and sparkling wines. From 12:30 to 17:00, guests moved between the stands of 32 producers, ranging from heritage houses to boutique newcomers: Anura, Avondale, Steenberg, Black Elephant Vintners, GM & Ahrens, Stettyn Wines, Precious Hidden Valley, Quoin Rock, Dainty Bess, Bloupunt, Wildekrans, Weltevrede, Paul Rene, Steenberg, MAN, Lievland, Le Lude,

Ken Forrester, Quoin Rock and Durbanville Hills, with Cap Classique pioneer Pieter Ferreira, widely known as Mr Bubbles, pouring his first own-label MCC. Returning for their second year were Montpellier, De Grendel, Bramon, Kanu, Lost Boy, Black Oystercatcher and Van Hunks, who, along with Andiamo, gave non-drinkers a premium non-alcoholic sparkling option. The dress code, inspired by the Malachite Kingfisher, turned the waterfront location into a captivating realm of blue, green and orange.

Floral crowns, feathered fascinators and bold prints were everywhere, with guests crafting their own crowns at the Harper’s Harvest flower station. The Quays restaurant served food throughout the afternoon, and live music by Simon on vocals and guitar, Tiaan on wind instruments and Andrew on bass had the crowd entertained from first pour to last. Artisan vendors offered nougat, olives and olive oil, goat’s cheese, resin serving boards and festival keepsakes. The day began earlier for an exclusive group: the GM & Ahrens VIP Experience welcomed 24 guests to a private section inside The Quays Restaurant at 10:30, with a bespoke tasting, light bites and unplugged live music before tastings opened. Guests took to social media straight after. One attendee called it “an event to definitely put on the national calendar”, praising the organisers and The Quays as hosts. Elizabeth Anderson, Nirmatri Events, said, “We are absolutely blown away by the reach that this event has had. Our vision for this event was to spread the love throughout our Coastal Village, and we achieved that through home rentals, restaurant bookings, and local taxi companies being supported throughout the weekend. Every guest made an effort in looking the part and adding to the fab-

What an incredibly well-run event at such a beautiful venue. The weather played along perfectly, setting the scene for a glamorous coastal celebration. Our MCC was warmly received, and we loved the opportunity to share a little piece of who we are with the St Francis Bay community.

“A heartfelt thank you to the organisers for putting together such a special event. We had a wonderful day and feel privileged to have been part of it.” Following the success of the inaugural 2025 festival and this year’s sell-out, Nirmatri Events confirms the festival will return on 23 October 2027. Tickets will go on sale in June 2027 and will be announced via Instagram @bubbly_in_the_bay and on the website www.bubblyinthebay.co.za

SOS golf day to raise funds for community feeding scheme SOS, a Jeffreys Bay non-profit organisation that has been feeding the community for a number of years, is hosting a golf day fundraiser on 7 November 2026, at the Jeffreys Bay Golf Club. The 18-hole IPS format event costs R250 per golfer, with separate prizes for men and women. Players must contact the golf club directly to make a booking. The club is at the corner of Tulip and Disa Avenue, Jeffreys Bay, and can be reached on 042 293 2532. The full-day event starts at 07:00 and will conclude with a prize-giving at the end of the day. Boerewors rolls will be sold for R30 on the day, and goodie bags will be given to participants. Sponsorship opportunities include sponsoring a hole for R2,000 or the putting green for R3,000. Major and local sponsors have already come forward to

support the event. SOS chairman, Andrew Phillips, a retired professor and former rector of the University of South Africa who lives in Jeffreys Bay, said the golf day offered businesses a way to give back to the community they serve by sponsoring holes and receiving advertising for their products in return. SOS, which has been providing hot food twice a week to residents of Jeffreys Bay for a number of years, also aims to expand its service to senior citizens and assist with youth training and employment, particularly in the field of elder care. For additional information, contact Margaret from the SOS Soup Kitchen on 082 455 5253. SOS is at 51 Da Gama Road, Jeffreys Bay, and is a registered NPO.

Hier kry perderuiters ’n gevoel van groot skoue HANNES SCHOEMAN

KABELJOUWS Equestrian, net buite Jeffreysbaai, waar perde gehou, gevoed en versorg word, is besig om skouspelagtig te groei. Eienaar, Simone Cilliers, sê dit is ’n uiters gewilde plek vir perdry en plaaslike oefenskoue. “Ek het vyf jaar gelede met vyf perde begin wat ek gehuisves het - en vandag het ons reeds 42 perde wat hier by ons loop, waarvan meeste privaateienaars het. Die sport groei dus dramaties, maar ook nie sonder probleme nie,” sê sy. “Soos elke sport het die perde-industrie maar ook baie drama en probleme, maar ek probeer ’n platform skep waar almal gelyk is en waar elke eienaar net kan plaas toe kom en sy of haar perd geniet. “Perderuiters van ander klubs in ons area neem ook deel aan ons skoue. Hulle sluit in Papiesfontein, Grassridge Equestrian en J-bay Equestrian. “Ons bied ’n verskeidenheid van geleenthede aan vir perdeliefhebbers en kinders,” sê sy. “Dit sluit in die huisves van perde, perdrylesse en ook terapiesessies met perde wat die Leaps and Bounds-span aanbied. “Die meeste van die ruiters in ons area en omliggende gebiede kry nie altyd die geleentheid om by die groot skoue in die Baai of Plettenbergbaai te gaan deelneem nie en ek het die behoefte gehad om vir hulle ook die geleentheid te bied hier by ons om die ervaring te kry van ’n skou-omgewing en atmosfeer. “Ons probeer om vir die kinders en volwasse ruiters die geleentheid te bied om deel te wees van ’n span en in ’n positiewe omgewing met hulle perde deel te neem en hulle vaardighede te toets. “Op die huidige oomblik probeer ons twee keer ’n jaar ’n skou te hou, maar beoog om in die toekoms elke twee tot drie maande ’n oefenskou te hou. “Ons skoue sluit in ’n kombinasie van spring, showing en dresseer-klasse van alle vlakke om vir almal ’n gelyke kans te bied om deel te neem.” Sy sê voorts by haar pretskoue kry elke kind ’n roset en hulle probeer soveel as moontlik borge invorder vir pryse vir die top-presteerders. “Ek geniet die perde en om jong ruiters te motiveer, want ons almal doen dit tog omdat ons lief is vir die perde en die sport.”

Uitenhage Blues wen titel en R40,000 op Humansdorp HANNES SCHOEMAN

<UNICODE-WIN> <vsn:19.3> <pstyle:*BOX_STYLE*>

DIE Uitenhage Blues het verras toe hy die afgelope naweek die Broncos 10s-rugbytoernooi by die Kruisfontein-sportkompleks op Humansdorp gewen het. Die besoekers het die Kouga Wolves met 14-5 geklop in ’n wedstryd wat die toeskouers deurgaans op hul voete gehad het. Altesaam 16 spanne het in vier groepe sake om die wentjek van R40,000 uitgespook. Marko Lamont van Uitenhage Blues is boonop as die Speler van die Toernooi aangewys. Die wentjek is goud werd vir die Uitenhagers wat daarop uit sal wees om hul titel volgende jaar te verdedig. Khoisan Warriors het teen JBAY Blues kragte gemeet vir die derde en vierde plek. Hier het die Warriors as wenner uit die stryd getree. Android Academy van Gqeber-

ha het die skild-afdeling gewen toe hulle Dark Angels in die eindstryd verslaan het. Ander spanne wat aan die program deelgeneem het is onder meer KwaNomzamo Rebels, Khoisan Warriors, George en Uniondale. Die toernooi-direkteur, Jaques Alexander, sê die toernooi was so ’n groot sukses dat dit voortaan jaarliks aangebied sal word. Hy sê hy is dankbaar dat dit ’n werklikheid kon word deur die hulp en ondersteuning van borge soos onder meer Chill Beverages Score, Redhot Printers en Herotel. Alexander sê die beamptes wat hard gewerk het om die Bronco 10s op die been te bring verdien ook melding vir die groot werk agter die skerms. Hy sê die uitstaande spel en puik ondersteuning deur Humansdorp se gemeenskap het verseker dat die toernooi gekom het om te bly.
