Municipality‘loses’paperwork linked to substation damage claim NATASHA BEZUIDENHOUT WHEN a motorist crashes into a traffic light, electricity substation or another piece of municipal infrastructure, the damage can quickly run into thousands of rands — and it is often ratepayers who are left to pick up the tab. But what happens when the person responsible is known, their details are available, and a police case has been opened? That question comes at a difficult time for the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality, which has faced mounting scrutiny over its finances, governance and service delivery. This year has seen repeated attempts to remove Mayor Babalwa Lobishe through motions of no confidence, while National Treasury temporarily withheld the municipality’s July equitable-share allocation over concerns about compliance with the Municipal Finance Management Act. The municipality has also faced a legal challenge over its electricity tariffs. Against this backdrop, Ward 8 Councillor Gustav Rautenbach has been trying to establish whether the municipality is taking steps to recover money when motorists damage public infrastructure. In the latest case, a vehicle crashed into the Vitry Avenue substation in Lorraine nearly two years ago, causing more than R235,000 in damage and leaving several households without electricity for days. Rautenbach said the motorist’s details were handed to the municipality and that a police case was

He is now seeking clarity from the municipality over what happened to the documentation relating to the incident and whether any attempt was made to recover the repair costs. Rautenbach said that on 28 August 2024, at around 02:00, he received a report that a vehicle had crashed into the Vitry Avenue substation, causing significant damage and
leaving several households without electricity for two to three days. “On the same day, I wrote to the Office of the City Manager, providing all the details of the incident and requesting that the municipality institute a claim against either the driver or the driver’s insurance company. Ratepayers should not be expected to foot the bill for damage caused by a motorist,” he said. Rautenbach said he was later informed that repairs to the building and electrical infrastructure cost

R235,822, excluding VAT, labour costs and the cost of Metro Police officers deployed to secure the damaged and exposed substation. When he later followed up on the matter to establish what progress had been made in recovering the costs from the driver or the insurer, he said he was informed that the paperwork had gone missing. “That response raises more questions than answers. What does it mean that the paperwork went missing?” he said.
Rautenbach questioned whether the claim had ever been submitted and whether the documents were lost within the Electricity Department or after being forwarded to the municipality’s Legal Department. “To date, I have been unable to get a clear answer from the municipality.” He said he has now written to the municipality again, nearly two years after the incident, in the hope of receiving clarity on what happened to the documentation and whether any attempt was made to recover the costs. “It is completely unacceptable that ratepayers should bear the cost of repairing infrastructure damaged through alleged reckless or negligent driving. The municipality has a responsibility to recover these costs from those responsible for damaging public infrastructure,” he said. Rautenbach said the matter should serve as a test case for how the municipality deals with similar incidents in future, particularly where negligence or reckless driving is involved, or where it can be proven that a driver was under the influence of alcohol. “Many of these incidents occur during the early hours of the morning, and the municipality must ensure that those responsible are held accountable and that the costs of repairs are recovered from them, rather than from the public purse.” Questions sent to the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality on 23 July were acknowledged but had not been answered by the time of going to press. PE Express followed up with the Municipality on 12 August but emails went unanswered.

New Military Base Hospital officially opens A NEW R625 million military hospital has opened in Forest Hill, Gqeberha, with the 30-bed facility expected to serve about 9,000 beneficiaries across the Eastern Cape. The Military Base Hospital Gqeberha was officially opened by Defence and Military Veterans Minister Angie Motshekga on Thursday, 13 August. The hospital will serve beneficiaries in Gqeberha, Makhanda, Mthatha and surrounding areas, bringing medical services closer to South African National Defence Force (SANDF) members, their dependants and military veterans.
The facility is equipped with modern infrastructure and advanced diagnostic technologies, with a fully equipped surgical theatre. PHOTOS: SUPPLIED
The facility will provide 24-hour healthcare, including primary healthcare, emergency and urgent care, surgery, diagnostic services, dental and oral healthcare, pharmacy, paediatric care and rehabilitation. It also provides inpatient and intensive care, physiotherapy, occupational therapy and dietetics. The hospital is equipped with modern infrastructure and diagnostic technology, including modern diagnostic radiology and a fully equipped surgical theatre. The facility is expected to reduce the distance beneficiaries have to travel for medical treatment, support faster recovery and contribute to maintaining the operational readiness of the SANDF. Motshekga said the opening marked an important milestone in strengthening the healthcare capability of the SANDF and reaffirmed the government’s commitment to safeguarding the health and wellbeing of the military community. She also highlighted the role of healthcare workers at the facility. “Buildings do not heal people. People do,” Motshekga said. The minister acknowledged the contribution of stakeholders whose collaboration and support helped make the hospital possible. The hospital represents an investment in improving access to healthcare and patient care for the military community, while supporting the operational readiness of the SANDF. Following the official opening, Motshekga, Eastern Cape Premier Oscar Mabuyane, Nelson Mandela Bay Executive Mayor Babalwa Lobishe and other delegates con-

Nelson Mandela Bay roads get R60m repair boost TWELVE contractors have been appointed and deployed across the Metro, working alongside municipal road maintenance teams to increase the municipality’s capacity to repair potholes and carry out road maintenance. This follows the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality’s launch of a R60 million pothole repair and road maintenance programme aimed at addressing deteriorating roads across the Metro. The programme, launched on Monday 3 August, includes R30 million specifically for pothole repairs, while the remaining R30 million will be used for stormwater infrastructure maintenance, drainage improvements
Fashion raises funds for charity The Voice of Courage Fashion Show, hosted by Boardwalk Hotel and Casino and Camelot Spa at Boardwalk ICC, was an evening of fashion and compassion. It supported Yokhuselo Haven — the first shelter in Nelson Mandela Bay, established in 1988, which provided safety, counselling and skills development for women and children affected by domestic abuse — and Community Chest, which funded sustainable community upliftment across the Nelson Mandela Metropole.

and the rehabilitation of roads damaged by flooding. According to the municipality, work has already started in several wards and will be progressively expanded, with priority given to areas worst affected by potholes, deteriorating roads and flood damage. Executive Mayor Babalwa Lobishe joined municipal officials and contractors as work got under way in Veeplaas, KwaDwesi and the Perseverance Industrial Area. “Every day, thousands of our residents travel on these roads to get to work, school, healthcare facilities and places of business,” she said. “We understand the frustration that potholes cause, and that is why we are acting
decisively to accelerate repairs across Nelson Mandela Bay.” She said that the programme would also focus on addressing some of the causes of road deterioration through investment in stormwater infrastructure and preventative maintenance. The latest programme forms part of the municipality’s broader infrastructure recovery efforts.During the previous financial year, more than R50 million was spent on reconstructing two flood-damaged bridges, restoring key transport links across the Metro. Further projects planned for this financial year include the reconstruction of the collapsed William Moffett Expressway bridge, storm-
water drainage maintenance, the refurbishment of damaged stormwater infrastructure and road-marking projects in KwaDwesi, Despatch and KwaMagxaki. The municipality said residents would see repair and maintenance work progressively rolled out across the Metro as the programme gathers pace. The programme is also expected to create employment opportunities, with each contractor required to recruit three local workers from every ward where work is undertaken. Lobishe said the municipality recognised the frustration caused by potholes and was taking steps to speed up repairs.

WOMEN’S MONTH:
Eleanor Douglas-Meyers launches first solo novel NATASHA BEZUIDENHOUT
we tell. “I wanted to write a woman who’s allowed to be curious, funny, intelligent, romantic and just wonderfully human. Someone whose life isn’t defined by what she’s survived. I hope Confession Collector reminds people that women of colour deserve whimsical stories, mysteries and happy moments too.”
AFTER more than 20 years in journalism, Kariega-born Eleanor Douglas-Meyers has entered a new chapter in her storytelling career with Confession Collector, her third published book and first solo novel. The contemporary mystery follows Mira, a woman who finds that strangers often share their deepest secrets with her. The book was launched on 1 August at Enchanted Alchemy in Gqeberha, marking the start of Women’s Month, with the launch event selling out within four days. PE Express spoke to Douglas-Meyers about her journey from journalism to fiction, the inspiration behind Mira and why launching the book during Women’s Month was meaningful. For readers who may not know you, could you tell us a little about yourself and your career in journalism? “I’m Eleanor Douglas-Meyers and I’m a Kariega girl through and through. I still live in Kariega with my husband, Robin, and our son, Aidan. My parents also live right next door, which I absolutely love because we’re a very close family. “I studied Print and Broadcast Journalism at Nelson Mandela University, back when it was still PE Technikon and UPE. “I’ve somehow blinked and found myself with more than 20 years in journalism! I’ve worked for The Herald, Weekend Post,Algoa Sun,Careers Magazine and La Femme, before eventually starting 041Online, a digital magazine dedicated to telling the stories of Nelson Mandela Bay. “I’ve recently started working as a self-publishing consultant. If there’s one thing that’s connected every chapter of my career, it’s storytelling. I’ve always be-

I feel like female characters in South African stories, particularly women of colour, are often defined by trauma. Those stories absolutely deserve to exist, but I don’t think they should be the only stories
You have spoken about wanting to write women of colour as complex, joyful, curious and fully human characters, rather than allowing trauma to define their stories. Why was this important to you and how is that reflected in the book? “I think representation is about more than simply seeing yourself in a book. It’s about seeing yourself in lots of different kinds of stories. I wanted Mira to just … exist. She’s funny, nosy, compassionate, flawed, curious and adventurous. She gets caught up in a mystery because that’s where the story takes her, not because trauma defines who she is. “Mira is loosely based on one trait that my mom and I share. People tell us everything. Complete strangers somehow end up sharing their life stories with us. One day we joked that someone was eventually going to tell us something they really shouldn’t, and that’s where the idea for Confession Collector was born. The book was originally written for a government-funded writing competition, but the funding was withdrawn and the competition was cancelled. By then I’d completely fallen in love with Mira and the other characters, so I decided to publish it independently. My years in journalism definitely found their way into the novel. Journalists spend their lives collecting stories and in many ways, so does Mira. What was the publishing journey for Confession Collector and where can readers find a
Kariega-born author Eleanor Douglas-Meyers. copy? “I independently published Confession Collector, which meant I got to wear all the hats — author, editor, project manager and marketer. Even the cover started as a picture of a sunset outside my house. Going through the self-publishing process inspired me to start working as a self-publishing consultant, where I now help aspiring authors bring their own stories into the world. It feels like a lovely full-circle moment because, after spending my career telling other people’s stories, I now get to help others tell theirs too.” The paperback is available through the Shop section of the 041Online website for R280, including nationwide postage. The eBook is also available worldwide on Amazon Kindle.

LIONEL DE LANGE AND HIS EVERYDAY WARRIORS:
Saving war’s forgotten animals
HEIDI BOTHA
FOR most people, living in a war zone is almost unimaginable. For Lionel de Lange, however, the constant threat of drones, missiles and artillery has become part of everyday life in the Ukrainian city of Kherson. "At night, we don't even go to the bunkers anymore. You will never sleep," he said when talking about the relentless frequency of airraid warnings throughout the night. Having met Lionel recently in Gqeberha, I came to understand the incredible work he does, which made his story even more remarkable. Lionel moved to Ukraine in 2010. He's always had a love for animals, but seeing first-hand the plight of abused animals and those left behind in war-torn areas sparked a movement that can only be described as revolutionary. Although the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine started in 2022, the broader Russian-Ukrainian conflict had already begun in 2014, which led to severe funding cuts, leaving many zoos and animal sanctuaries struggling to care for their animals. Lionel de Lange's wildlife rescue work began during this period. He managed to raise $26 000 for the local zoo in the Ukrainian city of Mykolaiv and founded The Lawrence Anthony Earth Organisation (LAEO) Ukraine to help neglected zoo animals. From then onwards, the inspiring story of ordinary people achieving extraordinary things continued to unfold. In 2016, Lionel and Anya Masyach founded the organisation Warriors of Wildlife (WOW). The organisation focuses on rescuing, relocating and providing lifelong care for abused and neglected captive wildlife, particularly lions, tigers and bears. To date, they have successfully rescued and relocated 41 lions, 1 tiger and 17 brown bears.
Working alongside Ukrainian authorities and international animal welfare organisations, Lionel de Lange helped secure the confiscation of animals that had spent years in tiny concrete cages in the notorious Pokrovsk Zoo in Ukraine. Here he is standing next to one of the bears after it had been sedated for examination, vaccination and dental work. PHOTO: SUPPLIED In 2021, WOW opened the Simbonga Game Farm and Sanctuary in South Africa, which provides a safe and tranquil home for many rescued animals from Ukraine and elsewhere. Removing and rehoming wild animals from perilous front-line regions is no small feat, and Lionel has no shortage of stories to tell. With the support of a dedicated network of Ukrainian volunteers, veterinarians, international animal welfare organisations and logistics specialists, every rescue presents its own unique set of nail-biting challenges: the unpredictable behaviour of wild animals; the ever-present risk of becoming trapped in a mis-
sile strike; the complex coordination of armed security personnel, military veterans and veterinarians and wildlife specialists needed to safely sedate and transport dangerous animals; and the need to find secure temporary sanctuaries at times. But it is not only wildlife that Lionel is passionate about. While running a shelter for 67 dogs and 18 cats in the city of Vinnytsia, he and his team also feed 450 stray dogs and 180 stray cats daily. A new animal shelter is currently being built closer to the front line. Situated on the western bank of the Dnipro River, with Russian forces positioned on the
eastern bank, Kherson remains one of the most dangerous cities in Ukraine. Moreover, apart from living in cities under siege and in communities at constant risk of attack, the animals have to contend with many other hardships. "With a small team, we recently performed 1100 sterilisations in our town and surrounding villages. The war led to many people leaving their animals behind. With fewer people, the animals have to fend for themselves. They have no refuge, and because they have been abandoned, no sterilisations are being done. We take care of them, but needless to say, this is an ongoing problem," Lionel explained. "During the winter, the animals face temperatures as low as -26°. We try our best to keep the animals sheltered and warm. Water freezes within minutes, and keeping dozens of animals warm through Ukrainian winters comes at an enormous cost. You can imagine the huge electricity bill." Lionel and his team also transport dogs and cats to safety, to South Africa, Europe, the USA and other countries around the world. Before they can travel, the animals must be microchipped and vaccinated against rabies. After waiting 21 days, they undergo a rabies antibody test, followed by a 90-day waiting period before they are eligible to travel. The entire process takes approximately four months in total. "Here, nothing is safe. The number of stray cats and dogs is increasing. And, oneday, when the war is over, there will be even more to do." But Lionel and his team will soldier on regardless. Giving up has never been an option, and their work is far from over. Those wishing to support Lionel de Lange and Warriors of Wildlife can learn more about the organisation's work by visiting the Warriors of Wildlife website at www.warriorsofwildlife.org.

HUNDREDS of learners from across the Eastern and Western Cape showcased discipline, teamwork and precision at the 11th Annual Schools Marching Drill Competition in Gqeberha on Saturday, 8 August. The competition took place at the Fairview Sports Centre, bringing together schools to demonstrate their skills in marching, drill and teamwork. South African Police Service (SAPS) Sarah Baartman District Commissioner, Major General Thandiswa Kupiso, delivered the keynote address, encouraging learners to see the competition as more than a display of marching skills. Kupiso said the event was about developing good behaviour, self-discipline, ethical conduct, concentration and perseverance. “This competition is value-driven and is more than mere marching in formation. It is about being consistent in good behaviour, self-discipline, and ethical skills,” she said. She praised the learners for their commitment, neatness, time management and ability to follow commands, saying that taking part in the competition demonstrated qualities that could benefit them beyond the parade ground. Kupiso urged the participants to learn from one another, respect each other’s strengths and demonstrate humility in competition. “I encourage you not to just compete against each other, but also learn from each
other. Celebrate each strength, respect each other, and win with humility. As you drill, do it with precision. As you compete, compete with integrity,” she said. She also encouraged learners to take the lessons of discipline and teamwork back to their schools and communities. “The lesson of teamwork is that we are stronger when we work together. March and drill today not just with your feet, but with purpose, unity, and pride,” Kupiso said. The high-spirited competition concluded with an awards ceremony, with the event aimed at equipping learners with life skills while promoting structured discipline. The annual competition forms part of a long-standing partnership between SAPS and the GoBig Community Development and Training Centre, focusing on youth empowerment and social crime prevention through structured discipline. Learners were joined by proud parents, coaches and teachers, as well as representatives from various law enforcement agencies. Among the dignitaries in attendance were former Sarah Baartman District Commissioner, retired Major General Zolani Xawuka, Gelvandale SAPS station commander, Brigadier Abdoerahgmaan Humphries, Sarah Baartman District Community Police Board chairperson, Mieta Williams-Jan, and representatives of the Nelson Mandela Bay Metro Police Department.

We are born with an innate instinct to move our bodies to music — whether it’s tapping your foot while sitting at your desk or executing a perfect grand jeté across a stage. “It is one of the most beautiful things the human body can do, demanding incredible discipline, strength, artistry, commitment and courage. “The young dancers who will take to the stage at this festival have dedicated countless hours to honing their craft, and they deserve every opportunity to have their talent, hard work and passion recognised and celebrated,” said Leander. Daily tickets for the festival will be available at the door, and the gala performance of all championship winners and adjudicators’ choices will take place on Saturday, 29 August. Tickets can be booked through Webtickets.

Marokko en Mosambiek. Hy het na die finaal deurgedring met ’n maklike oorwinning van 5-0 in die halfeindronde. Dit het sy vonk verder aangesteek om in die finaal te presteer. Charl het dus nou sy tweede All Africa Senior-titel gewen nadat hy ook in 2024 met die trofee weggestap het. Nog geen ander Suid-Afrikaner kon die titel agter sy naam skryf nie. “Ek het ’n absolute wil gehad om te wen en was deurgaans vol selfvertroue. “Dit sal ook die tweede keer wees dat ek na die wêreld Seniors toe gaan waar ek teen die wêreld se heel bestes sal skouers skuur. “Ek het uit die staanspoor ’n doel gehad om te wen en om volgende jaar in Sheffield te gaan speel is uiters opwindend. Trouens, ek kan nie wag vir daardie grote nie,” sê hy. Charl sê hy het amper ook ’n dubbelsege bereik, maar is in die Ope-afdeling met 6-5 deur Mina Awad van Egipte geklop. “Die Ope-afdeling is vir spelers van alle ouderdomme. Ek is 45 en Awad 25. As jong speler was sy konsentrasie dus net-net beter as myne,” sê hy.
