University volunteers lead anti-plastic global campaign
ZERO Plastic 2040, a global campaign run by the international volunteer organisation, ASEZ, to eradicate plastic pollution, is also active in Korea.
Recently, clean-up activities were carried out along the Noordhoek coastline in Nelson Mandela Bay, and 735kg of trash was collected. This was February’s third activity, following the clean-up at Nelson Mandela University’s South Campus, and a seminar at the same location.
ASEZ is a university student volunteer group of the World Mission Society Church of God. The name of the group is an acronym for ‘Save the Earth from A to Z’ and signifies ‘university students changing the whole world.’ The Zero Plastic 2040 campaign, addressing the global plastic problem, is carried out not only in Korea but also in Africa, the United States, Argentina, Panama, and India. The organisation’s Willem Pretorius explained, “We conduct awareness-raising activities such as forums and seminars, cleanup activities, street campaigns, and collect support signatures. The international community believes that if high-level plastic reduction efforts are made worldwide, the outflow of plastic into the environment can be almost eliminated by 2040.”
“Plastic emits greenhouse gases in all processes from manufacturing, processing, consumption, collection, and disposal, and pollutes soil, rivers, and the sea after being discarded. Finely broken plastic accumulates in
groundwater, the sea, and soil, becoming part of the food chain. Modern people ingest plastic the size of a credit card every week without realising it. University students came together to eradicate plastic pollution. I hope more people participate in the campaign,” Pretorius added.
About 60 people, including ASEZ members, friends, seniors and juniors, and family members, recently helped transform a 1km area of the Noordhoek Coastline
into a comfortable area. Seven Korean ASEZ members also participated, highlighting the global solidarity efforts of young people. The Noordhoek Coastline is a resting place loved by tourists, residents, and fishers, and is frequently visited.
Volunteers collected disposable plastic cups, bottle caps, food wrappers, and water bottles to prevent plastic waste from flowing into the sea. People who visited the area during that time
responded with bright smiles at the good deeds of the volunteers.
Nelson Mandela Bay Ward 1 also expressed gratitude by providing bin bags and gloves.
Ward 1 Councillor, Dries van der Westhuizen, supported the ASEZ activities, saying, “We do have a lot of rubbish that washes up on our shores. Thank you for assisting us with our global number one enemy, which is plastic.”
ASEZ member, Innocent Makhaka, who participated in the clean-
up activity, smiled brightly and said, “I will happily clean up all the plastic to make a difference and encourage the global community to do likewise.”
Volunteer, Lucrecion Jacobus, also proudly said, “Our planet is beautiful. If we work together as one, we can make a difference.”
A Zero Plastic 2040 seminar was also held at Nelson Mandela University to publicise the current state of plastic pollution and find specific ways to eradicate it. In a video lecture, Azmaira Alibhai, Faith and Ecosystem Coordinator of the Legal Affairs Department of the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP), expressed that solutions can be developed through a youth-centred platform, as they are future leaders
An ASEZ activist who followed up with a presentation explained the importance of plastic reduction and that ASEZ is active in each country, including campaigning and educating on sustainable plastic consumption and safe disposal. ASEZ promotes a resource circulation economy through plastic recycling and reuse, cleans beaches and waterways polluted by plastic waste, and supports the enactment of regulations and laws.
ASEZ’s altruistic actions continue the ‘light and salt’ role of the Church of God, which is the foundation of this organisation. The Church of God, which started in Korea in 1964, is a global church with over 7800 locations in 175 countries. There are over 3.7 million registered believers.

NMB Stadium to host the Springboks’ return
NELSON Mandela Bay (NMB) Stadium is set to welcome the Springboks back to the Bay in a much-anticipated showdown with Italy on July 12.
This marks a significant milestone following months of negotiations with various national rugby franchises and the South African Rugby Union (SARU), as announced in October 2024.
Anele Qaba, CEO of the Mandela Bay Development Agency (MBDA), expressed his pride in this accomplishment, stating,
“After months of lobbying, engaging stakeholders, and reuniting with the Eastern Province Rugby Union as a key partner and tenant, our efforts have borne fruit.
The residents of the Bay and its thriving tourism industry stand to gain the most from this success.”
He highlighted the pivotal support of Eastern Cape Premier, Oscar Mabuyane and National Minister of Sport, Gayton McKenzie in achieving this result.
Hosting a Springbok Test Match at the NMB Stadium is a significant economic op-
portunity for the Bay, benefiting industries ranging from airlines to hospitality services. The Springboks, who boast a 100% winning record at this venue, are expected to create an electrifying atmosphere.
The MBDA’s achievements do not stop here. Under Qaba’s leadership, the agency has also secured a major football fixture, retaining the high-profile match between Chippa United and Orlando Pirates. Scheduled for Wednesday, March 5 (today), the game is expected to draw an enthusiastic midweek crowd exceeding 20 000 spectators.
Qaba further emphasised the MBDA’s dedication to bringing economically impactful events to the region, remarking, “We have shown that with the backing of our shareholders, and provincial and national support, we can deliver major events. We are already gearing up for even more remarkable ventures throughout 2025.”
The return of the Springboks to Nelson Mandela Bay is a testament to the collaborative efforts of local and national stakeholders and a resounding victory for the city’s sports and tourism sectors.
NMB advances towards energy security with Biogas Project
THE Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality is making significant progress in diversifying its energy mix to ensure long-term energy security and sustainability.
As part of this commitment, the much-anticipated Fishwater Flats Biogas Project is now underway. Once completed, the facility will convert wastewater sludge and organic waste into biogas, which will, in turn, generate electricity.
The project is being implemented in two phases. The first phase, currently in progress, is expected to be completed by the end of the year and will initially produce approximately 600 kilowatts of electricity. This phase will
serve as a testing period while the Metro continues with the installation of the main infrastructure.
Upon completion of phase two, the facility is expected to generate 3 megawatts of electricity - enough to power just over 1000 households.
This initiative is part of the municipality’s broader strategy to create an energy-resilient metro by integrating alternative energy sources into the local grid. By leveraging biogas technology, the city is not only reducing its dependence on conventional electricity supply but also harnessing an environmentally friendly solution that lowers carbon emissions. In addition to generating electricity, the facil-
ity will help reduce the volume of solid waste sent to landfill sites, as most of the sludge from the Fishwater Flats Wastewater Treatment Works (WWTW) will be repurposed in the process. Nelson Mandela Bay currently produces 100 million litres of wastewater daily, with over 600 000 tons of waste disposed of annually at the Arlington and Koedoeskloof landfill sites.
The Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality’s Member of the Mayoral Committee (MMC) for Electricity and Energy, Councillor Ziyanda Mnqokoyi, recently visited the site to assess progress.
In a statement she said, “We are pleased that this long-awaited project has finally taken off.
Gqeberha young heroes celebrated at awards
NKOSAZANA NGWADLA
NINETEEN young learners from across South Africa were recently honoured in the annual Pick n Pay Hero Awards for making positive impacts in their communities, often amid adversity. These awards recognise acts of kindness, courage, and responsibility, demonstrating that even the youngest among us can inspire change. The heart-warming stories of these young heroes highlight their exceptional contributions. One learner used her pocket money to bake cupcakes for children with cancer, while another rescued stray animals and protected wildlife at school. There were also those who championed environmental awareness through clean-ups and recycling initiatives, and two individuals who showed remarkable bravery during a traumatic shooting.
The Pick n Pay School Club launched the Hero Awards 15 years ago to foster a culture of self and social awareness in schools and communities, reflecting Pick n Pay’s philosophy that ‘doing good is good business’. Throughout the year, teachers from 2600 participating schools in the School Club network identify learners for acts of bravery, kindness, or everyday heroism, awarding them certificates and badges. This culminates in the annual Hero Awards competition, where learners compete in seven categories for a share of R35 000 in Pick n Pay vouchers.
This year, over 1000 learner entries were sub-
The refurbishment work at Fishwater Flats WWTW has allowed us to begin this critical initiative. As a city, we have a responsibility to build a resilient energy future by investing in a diverse energy mix. This includes solar energy, energy-efficient infrastructure, and now the biogas approach,” said MMC Mnqokoyi. She added that she was encouraged by the project managers’ briefing, which indicated that the facility will be supplying electricity to the grid within the next two years. “We will be closely monitoring the progress of this facility, as we understand the significant role it plays in our journey towards energy security and sustainability,” MMC Mnqokoyi concluded.
mitted by primary schools from every province. The 19 winners received a share in Pick n Pay vouchers and a Hero certificate for their positive actions, with the programme becoming an integral part of the Pick n Pay School Club, South Africa’s largest brand-funded educational programme providing free, curriculum-compliant support to 3280 schools nationwide.
“Watching these learners overcome person-
al challenges with optimism, excellence, and courage is a lesson to us all,” said Vaughan Pierce, Executive for ESG at Pick n Pay.
“The winning learners are celebrated in their communities; the Hero Awards aim to ignite that same spirit of goodness and inspiration.”
The awards recognise learners across several categories, including courage, selflessness, kindness, respectfulness, honesty, teamwork, and environmental awareness. Pierce notes,
“Every year, more learners enter the awards, showing that doing good has a chain reaction, reaching more communities. Teachers see the positive impact on attitudes and behaviour.”
In the Eastern Cape, learners like Amor Hart from Laerskool Verkenner, were honoured for selflessness. Using her pocket money, Amor baked cupcakes for the “Cupcakes 4 Kids with Cancer” initiative, driven by a genuine desire to help children fighting cancer. Her routine, defined by responsibility and gratitude, inspires those around her.
At Enkwenkwezini Primary School, Lithalethu Kama, a Grade 7 prefect, was awarded for kindness. Backed by her mother, she bakes fat cakes for Grade R children from disadvantaged communities and helps supervise them after school, showing her generous spirit.
Tiargo Cloete from Triomf Primary School, displayed great kindness by rescuing a dog and her puppies and ensuring the safety of bird nests at school.
Meanwhile, Uligugu Wili from Dumani Public School, exemplified honesty by returning a misplaced phone to a teacher.
Finally, Kabega Primary School’s Ethan Fourie was recognised for environmental awareness. His passion for sustainability has driven him to organise beach clean-ups and promote recycling under his own brand,
The Recycling Kid. These inspiring stories not only celebrate individual triumphs but also encourage a collective movement towards positive change within communities.
Laerskool Verkenner’s Grade 4 learner, Amor Hart, took home the selflessness award with a R2000 Pick n Pay voucher.
Grade 3 Triomf Primary School learner, Tiargo Cloete, won the kindness/caring award with a R1000 Pick n Pay voucher. With him is his mother, Carmen Riana Taft.
Grade 7 learner, Lithalethu Kama from Enkwenkwezini Primary School scooped the kindness/caring award with a R2000 Pick n Pay voucher. Next to her is Phakama Leve (Pick n Pay Employee Bluewater Bay).
Uligugu Wili, a Grade 7 learner from Dumani Public School, was awarded the honesty title with a R2000 Pick n Pay voucher. With him are Shimondelay Blaauw (Pick n Pay School Club representative), and Thandiswa Yokwe (Educator).

Local entrepreneur shines at Mandela Bay Arts Festival
NKOSAZANA NGWADLA
PHILA Goduka, a young entrepreneur from Nelson Mandela Bay, is making waves with his digital solutions company, OG Phizow TV Content Convention.
Specialising in videography, photography, and graphic design, Goduka’s company has finally become part of the renowned Mandela Bay Arts Festival after three years of applications. Goduka strategically registered his company under the performance act category rather than a workshop to attract a larger audience.
This decision proved successful, as many attendees gained valuable insights and skills. “Being unemployed and sitting at home with all those skills you learned in school can be quite overwhelming,” Goduka shared. “So, I decided to start my company five years ago, and I can safely say we’re headed in the right direction.” His passion for teaching and
skills development emerged from various experiences on TV sets and productions. “I noticed a hunger for learning in many new graduates and students, and I really wanted to do my part,” Goduka explained. He emphasised the importance of creating a safe and comfortable learning environment for women in the arts, particularly in behind-the-scenes roles. “I wanted to create a safe space for women to learn, develop, and establish themselves in this industry.”
The Mandela Bay Arts Festival, an initiative by the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan Municipality, offers a platform for local artists to gain exposure and build connections.
Goduka praised the festival for its potential impact but expressed concerns about the continuity for artists after the event. “I really wish it happened twice a year to accommodate more local talent. But a worry I have is what happens after the 10 days of the festival? Some artists we never hear
of again, which is something that needs attention.”
Goduka found the festival personally rewarding, ticking it off his bucket list and building valuable connections. Looking forward, he plans to explore more parts of the Eastern Cape, particularly rural areas, to discover and showcase hidden talent.
“We have some of the most amazing talent in the most remote parts of this province, and I feel my duty is to find that talent and put a limelight on it.”
His advice to young artists is clear: “Use what you have, start where you are, network, and get your name out there.”
The Mandela Bay Arts Festival is a vibrant multidisciplinary event showcasing performance, poetry, theatre, comedy, dance, music, and more. It spans a 10day period with a series of smaller events across the metropolitan area, aiming to enhance opportunities for professionals in the creative industries and attract local and international guests.
Local business unites community in battle against plastic waste
NKOSAZANA NGWADLA
TIMBER Solutions, a local business, is transforming plastic waste into valuable resources by recycling it into poly planks and manufacturing a wide range of recycled plastic outdoor furniture.
In a bid to enhance recycling efforts in Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality (NMBM) and secure raw materials, the company has initiated an innovative Bottle Cap Challenge among local schools.
Introduced in 2016, the Bottle Cap Challenge invites schools to collect bottle caps and lids of any size or make, which are then submitted to Timber Solutions' factory. The Director of Timber Solutions, Linda Heymans, said, "This project not
only helps us secure raw materials but also raises awareness about the importance of recycling among young learners."
Schools' collections are carefully tracked, and at the end of each year, the top four schools are awarded prizes based on the weight of their collections. The prizes consist of recycled plastic furniture, which is highly favoured by schools for its durability and low maintenance requirements.
"The furniture is a testament to what can be achieved with recycled materials," Heymans explained.
The success of the Bottle Cap Challenge has not been limited to the local area. Schools in other provinces have been inspired to replicate the initiative, demonstrating its wide -
spread appeal and effectiveness. "We are delighted to see our project being adopted elsewhere, proving its potential to make a real difference in waste management," said Heymans.
Timber Solutions is calling on all schools in the NMBM area to participate in this exciting initiative. The company has provided an instruction sheet and invitation to encourage schools to involve their learners actively in recycling efforts. "It's about fostering a culture of zero tolerance for recyclable plastic waste ending up in our landfills," Heymans noted. In addition to schools, Timber Solutions is also reaching out to businesses and organisations, inviting them to contribute to the challenge. Corporates and other businesses can donate their collections to a school of their choice, and churches, which have shown great enthusiasm in the past, are also welcome to join in.
Heymans emphasised the importance of community involvement in tackling plastic waste. "We need a collective effort to make a significant impact on recycling practices," she said. The company believes that by involving various sectors of society, from schools to businesses, they can amplify their impact and contribute significantly to reducing plastic waste.
Looking ahead, Timber Solutions envisions expanded involvement and continued success for the Bottle Cap Challenge. The project not only addresses the immediate need for plastic waste reduction but also fosters environmental consciousness in future generations. As the challenge continues to grow, Timber Solutions remains committed to promoting sustainable practices and innovative recycling solutions.

A new era for Loyiso High School
NKOSAZANA NGWADLA
AFTER years of seeking assistance, the recent handover of a state-of-the-art sports facility marked a significant milestone for Loyiso High School in the Zwide township.
As the first of its kind in township schools, this facility is set to greatly benefit learners by nurturing hidden talents from disadvantaged backgrounds while maintaining academic balance.
The memorandum of understanding between Sports Revolution, a local non-profit organisation, and the Provincial Department of Education highlights the school’s commitment to sport as a vital extracurricular activity. This partnership aims to revive school sport in township areas, encouraging a culture of active participation.
Principal Raymond Mali expressed pride in the school’s achievements, highlighting players currently representing Eastern Province in cricket, rugby, and tennis across various age groups. “The inclusion of tennis and netball facilities showcases our determination to produce future champions who will represent South Africa on the global stage,” he said. The initiative seeks further investment from sports bodies and private sector companies in programmes like cricket and rugby, focusing on talent identification. “We invite more organisations to support our mission to enhance sporting opportunities for our students,” Mali added.
Sports Revolution, founded by alumni Bantwini Matika, Portia Yawa, and Nobesuthu Maqhula, who graduated in 1989, has been pivotal in restoring the school’s sports facilities. “Our ambition is to transform the school into a hub for sports development, involving the
entire community,” Matika explained to the PE Express last year.
“This initiative represents hope for the revival of sports culture at Loyiso High and beyond,” Mali noted.
The partnership between Loyiso High School and Sports Revolution not only aims to restore sports facilities but also to rekindle community spirit.
“Therefore, as a Principal of Loyiso High School; I wish to invite more of the Sports bodies and private sector companies to come and invest more on the sports programmes such as cricket and rugby which are carried out by Loyiso High School based on talent identification,” Mali concluded.
Programme Manager at Ezethu Development Trust, Pinky Kondlo, expressed pride in the completion of the sports facility, saying, “We as an organisation are incredibly proud to witness where the investment has gone, and how it was used. We are passionate about sport among the youth, and we cater for various communities, including Kariega and Despatch as well.”
The School Governing Body Chairperson, Nkululeko Ernest Mjukuzeli, said, “We are very delighted and grateful to all the stakeholders that had a hand in making this possible. As parents, we encourage them to continue, as we still have soccer and rugby grounds on the other side of the school that need renovation. We also encourage our children to grab this opportunity with both hands, and not let these fields go to waste - use them.”
Sports Revolution’s Zintle Matika said as a former player herself, from a township, the sight of learners from the township filling up the fields, playing different sports was very encouraging. “I hope this continues into future generations and does not die.”

Opwindende musiekkonserte beplan vir 2025
WILLEMIEN GREEN
DIE Musiek-vereniging van Port Elizabeth (PEMV) en die Veremarkorrel-vereniging (VMOV) se beplande konsertreekse vir 2025 beloof ’n keur van musiek om sodoende alle musiekliefhebbers tevrede te stel.

Prof. Albert Troskie (konsertorganiseerder en sekretaris van die VMOV) het ’n indrukwekkende program saamgestel wat plaaslike sowel as internasionale kunstenaars daarby insluit.
Leerders kan dan ook weer uitsien na die tweejaarlikse Opedag vir Skole wat op Woensdag, 26 Maart om 11:00 in die Veremarksentrum aangebied sal word.
Dié opedag is werklik uniek en die VMOV wil graag alle leerders wat nog nooit blootstelling aan klassieke musiek en spesifiek orrelmusiek gehad het nie, na die Veremarksentrum vir ’n onvergeetlike konsert uitnooi.
Dan is daar ook die twee baie gewilde Soirées musicales wat jaarliks gesamentlik deur dié twee verenigings in Mei en Oktober in die Somerstrandkerk aangebied sal word. Musici soos Cassie Carstens, die bekende Humansdorpse orrelis en Jonathan Scott die beroemde Britse orrelis sal onder andere in die Veremarksentrum uitvoerings aanbied.
Die St. Mary’s Katedraal wat vanjaar sy 200ste bestaansjaar vier, speel gasheer vir Cameron Upchurch, die Johannesburgse orrelis sowel as Cameron Luke van Makhanda wat daar sal optree.
Die laaste twee konserte vir die jaar word dan in November in die Veremarksentrum aangebied waar Salvatore Pronesti, die Italiaanse orrelis gehoor sal kan word wat dan opgevolg sal word deur die jaarlikse groot Kerskonsert wat op Sondag, 30 November dié vereniging se konsertreeks vir die jaar sal afsluit.
PEMV staan ook gewis nie terug nie en bied self agt konserte gedurende die jaar aan. Dr. Erika Bothma-Troskie (president van die vereniging) het ’n gevarieërde program saamgestel wat gewis elke musiekliefhebber se musiekpalet sal bevredig. Behalwe bogenoemde twee Soirées musicales word die ander ses konserte in die Nelson Mandela Universiteit se suidkampus ouditorium aangebied.
Dan sal onder andere ’n optrede deur Gustavo Romero, die Spaanse pianis wees om na uit te sien. Dit word opgevolg met Opera-Tango deur Zanne Stapelberg (sopraan) en Albie van Schalkwyk (klavier). Jose Dias (pianis) sal ook vanjaar ’n musikale kragtoer aanbied deur beide Chopin se twee Klavier-concertos uit te voer terwyl hy deur ’n strykensemble bygestaan sal word. Op spesiale versoek kan musiekliefhebbers weer gaan luister na die verfynde spel van vier uiters talentvolle dames. Take 4 is ’n klavierkwartet wat bestaan uit Zanta Hofmeyr (viool), Jeanne-Louise Moolman (altviool), Susan Mouton (tjello) en Elna van der Merwe (klavier).
Die fluitis Liesl Stoltz, wat ook geen bekendstelling nodig het nie en sal saam met Han Jonkers (klassieke kitaar) en Nicolas Conti (altviool) optree.

The odds favour the champion, who has a better record against the challenger, who has won one fight and drawn one fight. Following more than two years of inactivity, Nozipho Bell will face Abongile Lubambo for the Eastern Cape Female Flyweight title in the main supporting bout over eight rounds. The International Boxing
Federation (IBF) junior light female belt, World Boxing Federation (WBF) belt, and South African junior light female belt landed her a No. 2 rating in the world.

Charity drives, quality races on the March line-up
MARCH is a really big month for Nelson Mandela Bay Racing when quality races combine with a massive charity drive. The action already got underway on the poly surface yesterday but there are still four March meetings to look forward to.
The East Cape Fillies Nursery on the 14th will be a fantastic race and the meeting on the 21st features two big races, the East Cape Guineas and the Sprint Cup. Not only will we see classy racing on the 21st, which is a public holiday, but this is also the most important day of the year for the East Cape Horse Care Unit (ECHCH) based in Walmer. This will be the ECHCU Charity Day which is supported by various sponsors. Make sure you book your spot if you want to be part of the hospitality on the day, or you can just join in the fun on the day (free entry).
With only five months remaining, it has become an important stage of the season where the top races play a huge part in determining which horses will be crowned champions at the end of July. This past Friday the
ultra-consistent Splicethemainbrace became the front-runner to be named as the champion three-year-old filly in the province for the season.
She won the Breeders Guineas in fine style for the champion stable of Alan Greeff, with champion jockey, Richard Fourie, in the saddle.
Splicethemainbrace is a gutsy filly but can be stubborn at times and it wasn’t an easy ride for Fourie. Splicethemainbrace has now won nine races from 11 starts – an incredible record! The two feature races at the previous meeting will also be important when the judges convene to make decisions.
My Best Shot is in the running to be named the best three-year-old after he won the Ibhayi Stakes. He has been a real star for the Greeff stable.
My Best Shot has now won seven races from 13 starts.
Fourie was in the saddle and is full of praise for this lovely big horse.
“He is a happy horse with a wonderful nature. He does everything for you and he makes me and the trainer look good,” Fourie said of My Best Shot.

Coach Boom builds rugby legacy
WHEN Coach Boom is at work a lot of (very) exciting things start to happen on the rugby fields in the Northern Areas of Gqeberha.
Affectionately known as Coach Boom, Enrico Grootboom is the owner and founder of Gelvandale Rugby Academy. The Academy started in 2015 and officially registered with Eastern Province Rugby in 2019.
“Since we started, the Academy has provided bursaries for 137 kids, 30 of them just now in January, at schools all over the country,” Grootboom said. “We also got contracts for some of the boys to play overseas, like in Germany and Spain. Some of our players were included in the EP u/21, Grant Khomo u/16 and even the Craven Week u/18 teams. We are also represented in the Girls’ teams, well, nearly in all EP teams.”
But why did he start with the Academy? “There isn’t much sport in the schools in the Northern Areas. I grew up with rugby and the sport made a difference in my life.
“In fact, rugby saved my life at one stage. So we are here to develop junior rugby in our area and to make a difference in our community by fighting crime with sport,” Coach Boom explained. He added that the education of the children is also important to the Academy.
“If a player performs on the field, we try our best to get him a scholarship, but we also put pressure on him to do well in his schoolwork.
“I want to know what subjects they struggle with and want to see their marks at the end of every term.
“We try to get help for the children in the subjects they struggle with, hopefully without any costs to them.
“We work really hard to be successful, but it is an ongoing struggle to secure sponsorships for the children.”
Recently the Academy held a Family Day at Chapman High School. Not only were matches played during the day, but there were also other fun activities for the kids.
probably be the Guineas at the public holiday meeting.
Greeff also won the Lady’s Pendant for fillies and mares with the fouryear-old Gocekwithlove. Her name is now on the short list in the competitive category of older fillies and mares.
Greeff made a successful journey to Cape Town last month when he won the R1 million Cape of Good Hope Nursery with Direct Hit. It was a last-minute decision to enter the two-year-old filly for the race and she produced a top-class performance.
Direct Hit has won R642 500 from just two races and it will be very exciting to follow her career.
She might be in action in the Fillies Nursery next Friday and will most probably be aimed at the prestigious Alan Robertson Championship on May 31st to take on the best two-yearold fillies in the country at Scottsville in Pietermaritzburg.

“Once or twice a year we have a day like this to try and raise money for events like the upcoming u/19 tour to Namibia. We received an invitation to play there during the last weekend of October.
“It is expected that we will play two to three matches before the playoffs. It should be really nice rugby.
“This year our boys will regularly play against overseas school sides from England, Italy and Argentina.”

ZWIFA Mwalimu Youth Development Foundation Tournament quarter-final results

Amadamara FC, known as the knockout specialists, lost to ZWIFA Premier League current champions, Shining Stars FC, 1-0. Kuyasa United Brothers FC claimed a hard-fought 2-0 triumph over Hungry Lions FC.

Lizo Norushu took the direct free kick that hit the crossbar, with Va heading home their opening goal in the 30th minute. Stars came up strongly in search of the equaliser. Stars were awarded a corner kick, which their central defender, Nkosindive Myozola, headed in for the equaliser in the 40th minute.
OGFC right winger Abongile Kapo’s shot went over the crossbar, with Stars goalkeeper, Mahle Peter, well beaten in the 44th minute. Mbulelo Matiwana initiated some good moves in Stars’ midfield. Vuyolwethu “Hazard” Yako sent a longrange shot that OGFC goalkeeper, Sinethemba, spilled, resulting in a corner kick for Stars. Xolisa Sifunda, who had received a yellow card in the first half, was pulled out by OGFC head coach, Wayne Iveson, to avoid a potential sending off. The super substitute, Charl Reid, combined well with Norushu. Reid laid a perfect pass to Lumko Somdaka, who banged in a world-class goal in the 81st minute. Norushu played good moves with Reid, who was rewarded with a superb goal in the 86th minute. Anele Jakuja marshalled OGFC’s defence outstandingly throughout the game. Coach Iveson complained about the bad pitch at Motherwell NU 11 Stadium.
Young Aces FC earned a sweet revenge 2-0 victory over Royal Bucks FC at Veeplaas Turf Stadium on Saturday. Apparently, Aces lost 2-1 to Bucks during their away firstround game at Motherwell NU 11 Stadium. Lwando Pelembe Mbaxa scored the opening goal in the first half, while Inathi “Bob” Mfanta found the back of the net in the second half.
