AS climate disasters grow more frequent, the Nelson Mandela Bay Business Chamber is advancing its efforts to bolster the region’s resilience Central to this initiative is the pioneering Risk Management Desk, which is mapping high-risk areas such as drought zones, flooding hotspots, and the stormwater drainage network
Supported by modern tools like Google Maps and Quantum Geographic Information System (QGIS), this data-driven initiative aims to improve the metro's capacity to anticipate and address environmental hazards
The focus lies on heavy rainwater flow analysis, identifying drainage blockages, and pinpointing flood-prone zones By linking this data to targeted infrastructure upgrades, mitigation strategies can reduce the devastating impacts of severe weather
Aligned with the Business Chamber's broader disaster readiness strategy, this initiative involves collaboration with the Disaster Management Task Team It focuses on actionable interventions within the metro’s 11 geographic clusters
Mapping pump stations, stormwater culverts, drains and illegal dumping sites forms a core part of the strategy, as illegal waste contributes significantly to blocked drains
Targeted efforts ensure resources are deployed accurately to areas that truly need attention while avoiding unnecessary expenditure
Key partners, including Hollard Insurance,
Santam, and Simah Risk Advisors, play a critical role in this proactive endeavour
Deanne Bezuidenhout, Hollard’s Head of Environmental, Social and Governance, highlighted that understanding risks is vital to mitigating potential damages The initiative promotes evidence-based planning, enabling better preparedness and reducing losses
Santam’s Neptal Khoza echoed the importance of shared data and coordinated efforts in protecting people and businesses Simah
Risk Advisors’ Khanyisa Gogela noted that collaboration fosters communities capable of effective disaster response and recovery, with data insights guiding intelligent infrastructure investment and emergency readiness
Denise van Huyssteen, CEO of the Nelson Mandela Bay Business Chamber, emphasised that this project extends beyond data collection It aims to formulate informed strategies to protect lives, businesses and investments With extreme weather on the rise, under-
standing vulnerabilities is essential
The Risk Management Desk uses a detailed, data-powered approach to identify critical intervention areas, helping to mitigate risks before they escalate into crises
Van Huyssteen stressed that having a clear understanding of risks empowers the Chamber and the business community to actively participate in disaster preparedness She expressed gratitude to partners enabling this vital work while urging broader collaboration to maximise its impact
The mapping project also complements other efforts, including the Chamber's drain-cleaning programme and fire hydrant maintenance initiative These activities leverage mapping data to address the most pressing areas in need of maintenance and upgrades
The urgency of such initiatives is underscored by recent disasters, such as the Eastern Cape’s deadly floods, which claimed 102 lives, devastating areas in the OR Tambo and Amathole districts While Nelson Mandela Bay has experienced similar impacts, the Chamber’s forward-looking approach offers hope for a safer and more resilient metro By combining technology, collaboration and proactive risk management, the Chamber’s Risk Management Desk is leading the charge in creating a robust response framework for Nelson Mandela Bay This initiative marks a significant stride towards sustainability, smart infrastructure planning, and emergency readiness, ensuring the area can better cope with future climate challenges

NATASHA BEZUIDENHOUT
AS harrowing details of elderly abuse are being heard in a Welkom courtroom more than 800km away, an awareness campaign to educate the elderly on their rights against abuse got underway at the West End Community Hall in Gqeberha
On Thursday, July 17, seniors from four senior citizen clubs (aged from 60 to 80) gathered to participate in stretching and aerobics exercises before watching a play, to demonstrate examples of abuse
Desiré du Plessis, Chairperson of the Varsvlei Senior Citizen Club, who organised the event, said elderly people often faced horrific abuse
"Our older persons are murdered; they are raped; they are brutally assaulted, and the elderly people are the most vulnerable people in our society, and because of that, they should be protected more "
While World Elders Abuse Awareness Day is usually celebrated on June 15, Du Plessis shared that it was pertinent to create awareness throughout the year
"We are bringing awareness to our older people so that they can be proactive, know exactly what signs to look out for when they are abused, the steps they can take, who they can turn to, and to remember that they are not isolated and alone "
The activities for the day included an awareness programme,
as well as active aging, aerobics and examples of what happens when there is abuse within the home
"Incidents like the Welkom one and others are what we are fighting against and taking our plight to the national government," she added "So that national government know that they have to take steps to protect our older
persons "
Elva Koetaan-Van Zyl, Chair of the Older Persons Forum, commented that professional services are available to any elderly person who needs help "Professional services fall under the department of social development, and we must look at what we can do to prevent any other case of abuse against the
elderly "
The Older Persons Forum acts as a channel for information to be sent from older persons at the grassroots level to district, provincial and national government
"It's a platform from which older person's voices can be heard," said Koetaan-Van Zyl "To promote and ensure just and equitable access to services for older
persons "
She added that elderly people are often too afraid to report abuse
"Most elderly people are on government pensions, and not all cases are reported because the perpetrators are family members or live in the community " Nomfuneko Nyambe from the provincial Department of Social Development shared that abuse of elderly persons is rife within communities
"Unfortunately, there is a lot of abuse nowadays, such as financial, emotional, physical and sexual abuse of older persons, so what we as the department are doing is funding them to have these social clubs, so that they can get together and share their experiences of abuse," she commented
"There are also caregivers who are funded by the department so that those who can’t come to the club can visit the elderly " Nyambe explained that it is often harder for elderly persons to report abuse because of their age and frailty
"It is within families, and because they are old, some are very frail, so they can’t go to report these things, which is why we are funding the caregivers so that older people can retain their dignity," she said
"We see a lot of financial abuse because the elderly are forced to hand over their old age pensions An elderly person who are experiencing abuse should report it to their caregivers who can report it to police "
Senior citizens recently participated in an Elderly Abuse Awareness campaign.

THE best two-year-olds will have the last say in the East Cape horse-racing season
The current local season will come to a close with Friday’s meeting on the Fairview Turf track in Greenbushes
Friday’s main event will be the Champion Juvenile Cup for the two-year-olds over 1400m
The local two-year-old fillies have produced wonderful performances throughout the season, but the colts and geldings have been taking a backseat
It is a huge opportunity for the colts and geldings to secure a season award with a good performance in the Champion Juvenile Cup
Most of the other awards and titles are wrapped up by now, but Friday’s feature will have a huge say in which horse will be crowned as the Champion Twoyear Old colt/gelding
This is truly a race of champions Previous winners include some of the biggest equine names in the Eastern Cape like Bold Silvano, Global Drummer and In A Rush
There is a good chance that a Fairview filly from the Alan Greeff stable will pick up a national award this season
Three Greeff-trained two-yearold fillies, Direct Hit, Anotherdanceforme and Golden Palm, have all been in great form
Direct Hit is the frontrunner to be crowned as the Champion Two-year-old filly at the Equus Awards (national awards) on August 14 in Durban
Two important East Cape titles, Champion Owner and Champion Local Jockey, will only be decided on Friday Hollywood Racing can become
the Champion Owner in the province for the first time Hollywood will be R139 774 ahead in prize money of Peter Moor when Friday’s meeting starts
Although he couldn’t ride in the last two months of the season due to a broken leg, Eldin Webber could still be crowned as the Champion Local Jockey
He thought the injury had put paid to his title hopes, but Webber is still two wins ahead of Charles Ndlovu and three ahead of Sandile Khathi
Although Friday’s meeting is the last for the province, there are still meetings elsewhere in the country till the South African season ends on the 31st
The remaining big one is on Sunday in Durban when Greeff will saddle three runners to round up a wonderful season for him
Golden Palm will contest the Douglas Whyte Stakes, Silva City the Debutante, and the five-year-old gelding Bournemouth will run in the Gold Cup
Bournemouth is a strong candidate to be named as the East Cape champion over long distances for the season
He won the Lakeside Handicap in January and the Glenlair Trophy in April He ran second in the local Gold Cup when he had to carry a hefty 62kgs
These performances were enough for Greeff to decide that Bournemouth is ready to travel to Durban to take on the best in the country He will carry 58 5kgs in Durban
The first Fairview meeting next season will be on Monday, August 4

PURSUING the coveted spot at the Ironman World Championship in Kona, Hawaii, Megan Newman has overcome her share of challenges With steadfast support from her partner and local community, she persevered and has turned her dream into reality
Megan Newman is not just a high school teacher; she is now a World Championship-qualifying Ironman athlete After years of dedicated training, her dreams have come true as she qualifies to compete in the 2025 Ironman World Championships in Kona, Hawaii, in October, earning her place among world-renowned endurance athletes
Balancing a full-time teaching job with a demanding training regime has not been easy for Megan She admits that managing both means she often finds herself working late into the night after completing long training sessions
Born and raised in Gqeberha, Megan, who is a teacher at Lawson Brown High School, proudly celebrates her connection to the warm, close-knit community In addition to teaching, she coaches her school’s cross-country team and uses her personal sporting journey to inspire the younger generation
“They’ve been incredibly supportive and often ask when I’m heading to Hawaii,” she says of her learners, adding with a laugh, “They think I’ve lost the plot ”
Her triathlon journey began years ago when she watched Ironman athletes tackle the gruelling 3 86 km swim, 180 25 km cycle and 42 2 km run along the beachfront with her father Though inspired at the time, she never imagined the “crazy” sport would become such a defining part of her life
A setback in 2017 due to running-related knee injuries led her back to swimming, a skill she hadn’t practised since her primary school days This soon transitioned to cycling, and with encouragement, she embarked on her triathlon journey “I never dreamed I would one day be doing the same craziness I once watched with my dad ”
The 2025 Ironman Gqeberha, the race that secured Megan a place in Kona, was far from easy Battling a severe leg cramp aggravated by cold
water initially left her unable to put her foot down properly “I thought my race was over,” Megan recalls “Eventually, determined as ever, I dived into the water and tried kicking my legs to shake off the cramp ” Despite this setback, she persevered and went on to run her fastest marathon off the bike Megan describes her elation upon hearing she had qualified: “I was ecstatic! It’s definitely a dream come true ” Sharing that moment with her partner, Grant Pattinson, her father, and her coach, made it “a moment I will never forget ” Grant Pattinson, Megan’s partner, is no stranger to the world of triathlons Now a Manufacturing Production Manager, he began as part of the event’s water safety team before progressing to race day media and eventually taking up the sport himself, starting with a 70 3 half Ironman “It was a full-circle moment,” he reflects The couple frequently train and compete together “It’s always a great feeling standing at the start line together and racing each other,” Grant says “I know I always begin with a lead from the swim to the bike, but her stronger endurance and faster running mean that she hunts me down on the run ” Their shared understanding proved invaluable during the recent Ironman, where Grant, battling illness, relied on the crowd’s energy and fellow competitors for motivation “It helps to keep the mind awake,” he adds For both Megan and Grant, Ironman is more than just about qualification; it is about personal growth “It’s a personal challenge to test your limits,” explains Grant “For many, it’s about overcoming fears and challenges ”
Megan’s typical training week involves double sessions most days, focusing on running, gym, swimming and cycling When faced with tough days, she stays motivated by visualising the crowd support and the thrill of doing what she loves “The excitement and the reward for all the sacrifices are what keep me going,” she says On particularly challenging days, she reminds herself that doing something, however small, is better than doing nothing Grant also credits having the right support group for keeping the journey enjoyable: “On days when you’re feeling off, they’ve got your back ”
As Megan prepares for Kona, she admits to feeling both excited and
Megan Newman is heading to
nervous Competing in the Hawaiian heat alongside the world’s best endurance athletes is daunting “I feel like a small fish in a big sea,” she says Despite already setting her sights on the 2026 Comrades Marathon, her current focus remains on the island “All the people who believed in me helped me believe in myself,” she says, attributing her achievements to her partner and support system Through early mornings, difficult moments and unwavering dedication, Megan’s journey exemplifies what is achievable when passion meets perseverance and the power of partnership – a journey that has taken her all the way to Kona

In 2003, the successful safari operator and businessman was wrongly convicted of drowning a poacher Despite the absence of a body, and against police evidence, he spent 10 harrowing years in Zimbabwe's prisons, having to draw on inner strength and resilience
"I learnt to surrender control, trust in God, and cultivate gratitude, forgiveness and positivity as pathways to hope and freedom," he shared with the PE Express of his experience
During the Christmas in July event, guests can expect performances by a cappella quartet, The Creed, who are long-term supporters of the Ubomi Obutsha Centre

tre

FramesbyaimsforfourthwinagainstGreyHigh
CAN the u/18 rugby team of Framesby make it four victories in a row against Grey High?
This is the big question which will be answered on Saturday in Gqeberha when the local interschool clashes resume The chances are above average that we will see another thrilling contest between these two sides
In 2022, Framesby managed to beat Grey for the first time since 2011 It was a real nail biter with the final score 14-10 It was more of the same in 2023 Framesby won this humdinger 17-15
Last year it was yet again a close call when Framesby made it an unprecedented third victory in a row over Grey Again the winning margin was a mere two points with Framesby,
playing at home, sealing the deal 19-17
Grey will have home advantage this time and will be confident and ready to turn the tables on Framesby Both teams have been blowing hot and cold this year but have the players to produce an entertaining affair
There are exciting backline players on both sides Ciaran Killian, Bradley Myburgh, Tristan Kemp and Meyer Prinsloo will test the Framesby defence Jaiden Brewis, Damian Witbooi and Cole Hipert are dangerous attackers in the Framesby side who don’t need a second invitation to visit the try line Pearson has a tough assignment but will have home advantage when they host Graeme College, who make the trip from Makhanda
