GOLD FOR FRESH, BRONZE FOR FROZEN:

Gqeberha celebrates Food Lover’s Market William Moffett Food Lover's Market William Moffett has struck Gold and Bronze in the 2026 PE Express Readers' Choice Awards, thanks to the people who matter most: its customers. Readers voted the Gqeberha store first in the Favourite Local Fresh Food Store category, earning it Gold for the third consecutive year. And there's another reason to celebrate: William Moffett also took third place, Bronze, in the Favourite Local Frozen Food Store category. Two awards, and two different parts of the

shopping basket. One clear message from the community came through - this is a store they love coming back to. For Store Manager Geraldine Joubert, that loyalty is earned through the everyday moments that make shopping easier and more enjoyable. A friendly greeting. Someone who takes the time to help. Fresh displays, wellstocked freezers and a team that takes pride in getting the details right. "Our customers have plenty of choices, and we never take their support for granted," says

Joubert. "We want every person who walks through our doors to feel welcome, find what they need and leave knowing they've received real value. Winning Gold for fresh food again is incredibly special, and adding Bronze for frozen food makes us even prouder of our team." From fruit and vegetables for tonight's dinner to frozen favourites that help families plan for the week ahead, the store aims to make good food accessible, convenient and enjoyable. But it's the people behind the counters, on the

floor and at the tills who bring that promise to life. These awards recognise more than the food on offer. They recognise the care, effort and service that customers experience with every visit. To the Gqeberha community, thank you for voting, shopping and sharing your support. And to the William Moffett team, congratulations. You've earned this recognition the best way possible: through the trust of the customers you serve every day.

Chem Kids Daycare: Where learning has no limits Awarded Silver in the 2026 Readers' Choice Awards in the Playschool category, Chem Kids Daycare is redefining early childhood education with a forward-thinking approach that places learning, development and possibility at the heart of every day. We believe the early years should be about far more than preparing children for formal schooling. They should lay the foundation for a lifetime of learning, confidence, creativity and independent thought. That conviction drives everything we do, and it is captured in three guiding statements: our vision of being Empowered for What's Next, our mission of Learning Without Limits, and our objective of Breaking Barriers to Kids' Learning. Central to our philosophy is the belief that every child can achieve more when given the right environment, encouragement and opportunity. We strive to be a place where children feel safe, valued and supported, while being gently challenged to build new skills, ask questions, express themselves

and engage meaningfully with the world around them. What sets us apart is our commitment to making learning both purposeful and exciting. Alongside a curriculum aligned with the National Curriculum Framework and CAPS principles sits our in-house science and chemistry programme, which introduces young minds to scientific ideas in a way that is age-appropriate, practical and engaging. Through carefully planned, hands-on experiments, our children begin to explore gravity, air pressure, colour changes, sound and the properties of everyday materials. Science here is not an occasional treat; it is part of our educational identity. Curiosity is not merely tolerated; it is the starting point. From the earliest stages of development through to our preschool years, every experience is designed around the needs and abilities of each age group. Children are encouraged to observe, participate, communicate and solve problems, building an early understanding of cause and effect. The rewards reach well beyond the classroom: critical

thinking, perseverance, collaboration and confidence. Yet we are equally clear that meaningful early learning is about the whole child. Academic readiness matters, but so do emotional development, social skills, physical coordination, language, creativity and the ability to form positive relationships. Our daily programme balances structured learning with play, movement and interaction, allowing each child to grow at their own pace. Every milestone matters, and every child deserves recognition for their individual progress. Behind our approach stands a dedicated team that understands the trust families place in us. Choosing a daycare is about more than finding somewhere for a child to spend the day; it is about finding people who will nurture, guide and encourage them during some of their most formative years. Strong relationships with families and an environment in which children can thrive remain central to our work. The Silver award is a meaningful milestone for us. Coming from the community we serve, it motivates us to keep raising

the standard of early childhood education. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the families and supporters who believe in our vision and have shaped our journey. At Chem Kids, we place no limits on what young children can learn or achieve. Instead, we are committed to giving them the foundations, experiences and confidence to meet the future with readiness and possibility.
