THE performances of the local two-year-old fillies have been one of the highlights of the season for Nelson Mandela Bay Racing
The fillies have been winning races all over the country and will again be in the spotlight on Friday and Saturday
At Friday’s meeting, which is scheduled for the Fairview Turf track in Greenbushes, the fillies top the bill
The feature race, race seven on the card of nine races, will be the R150, 000 Lady’s Slipper Stakes over 1400m
The champion combination of trainer Alan Greeff and jockey Richard Fourie will be aiming at three wins in a row in the Lady’s Slipper
They won it last year with Splicethemainbrace and before that with Luna Halo
The quality of the local fillies will also be measured at Saturday’s prestigious meeting at the Scottsville track in Pietermaritzburg, where the best sprinters in the country will strut their stuff
It is great to see that the two top Fairview stables of trainers Greeff and Gavin Smith will be represented at this high quality meeting
The meeting is part of the South African Champions Season and the event for the twoyear-old fillies is the R1 million Allan Robertson Championship
over 1200m
The Champions Season is now in full swing in KwaZulu-Natal, leading up to the big race, the R5 million Hollywoodbets Durban-July on July 5
Hopefully we will see more of the best East Cape horses in action during the Champions Season, especially in the Durban-July itself where My Best Shot can possibly take his place
The Greeff and Smith stables were in fine form at this past Friday’s Fairview meeting Greeff saddled a treble and Smith a double
The Greeff-winners, including Mercantour, who won the Fairview 1400, were all ridden by Fourie who reached a new record for the most winners in an East Cape season
Fourie is on 122 winners, and with 11 Fairview meetings still remaining in the season, he is going to end off with a tremendous record
“This is probably my most rewarding season ever Things are falling into place and I am very happy
“The trainer (Greeff) helps me to break records by picking the right races for the horses,” Fourie said
Greeff is also on track to better his East Cape trainers’ record of 176 winners in a season He is now on 143 and should reach his target of 180
Smith, who won the Milkwood Stakes with Paris Lass, is also enjoying another successful sea-
son Paris Lass also won the Milkwood last year This time she had Stallone Naidoo in the saddle for Smith’s 99th winner for

Gqeberhapastorignitesspiritualrevivalamongyouth
NKOSAZANA NGWADLA
IN the heart of the Maluti District, a young pastor is making waves by connecting with the next generation of believers. Pastor Carl Adams, a native of Gqeberha and shepherd at the Maluti District of the Cape Conference of the Seventh Day Adventist Church, has dedicated his ministry to inspiring young people to embrace their faith journey.
Adams, who completed his theological
studies at the prestigious Helderberg College in Cape Town, discovered his calling during his teenage years in Gqeberha. “Even as a young man, I knew that working for the Lord was my purpose,” he reflected, his eyes bright with the same passion that first drew him to the ministry
What distinguishes Pastor Adams’ approach is his genuine connection with youth and his ability to make spiritual concepts relevant to their everyday lives. Recently, his efforts culminated in a moving baptism ceremony for 14 young members of his congregation.
“There is an unexplainable joy to know that the hope of Salvation will make these children good citizens of this world and the world to come,” Adams shared after the ceremony, visibly moved by the commitment of his young congregants.
The pastor emphasised the importance of Christian values in character development. “High moral Christian values based on putting Christ first in their lives. To be servants of God and friends to men,” he explained, outlining his vision for the youth under his guidance.
Among those who chose baptism was Bandezi Mathembanke, who said, “I want deliverance and I’m at a stage in life that has made me realise God’s grace, power, and love I want to embrace his divine presence in my life,” Mathembanke stated, adding that their family fully supported this spiritual milestone.
Another baptismal candidate, Bunesongo Zaze-zamnandi Ludziya, described the decision as fulfilling a long-held dream
“One would call it a vision, I think it must have been a dream that was supposed to become true years ago. I always dreamt of being baptised, so the second the proposal of getting baptised came to life, it wasn’t a doubt. It didn’t even take a split second to think about it, I jumped to it,” Ludziya shared enthusiastically
Ludziya also credited Pastor Adams’s influence in this life-changing decision, “Pastor Adams made me realise the need to give my life to Jesus He encouraged, supported and gave us his time - to me, that is everything, everything I needed. He was a blessing in disguise.”
For Adams, these testimonies represent the fulfilment of his ministry’s purpose “My biggest hope is for them to hold tightly the Christian teachings given to them, and through all life challenges, conquer, and their names be written in the Book of Life,” he said.
Elder and Executive Director at Advent Comprehensive High School, Mandisi Mbobo, extended a heartfelt appeal to the broader community surrounding these young believers.
“I beseech their families, teachers, friends, relatives, and colleagues to provide a fertile environment for them by praying for them, supporting them spiritually, and correcting
them when they are wrong,” he emphasised, underlining the crucial role of community in nurturing faith
Mbobo also expressed support for Pastor Adams’s youth-focused ministry, noting the positive impact it has had on students at the school.
Reflecting on the baptism ceremony, Adams shared the profound impact it had on him personally: “I feel a deep sense of gratitude and holy reverence. To witness young people willingly surrender their lives to God stirred something sacred within me It wasn’t just joy - it was a sense of awe at the power of the Holy Spirit moving among them. I felt hope for this generation, knowing that the same God who called us is still calling hearts today. There was also a quiet humility, realising that heaven rejoices over every soul that turns to the Lord. In that moment, I was reminded again why we do what we do - it’s about the Mission," he concluded.
This past weekend, 14 learners at Advent Comprehensive High School decided to publicly dedicate their lives to God through baptism. PHOTOS: SUPPLIED
Pastor Carl Adams is pastoring at the Maluti District of the Seventh Day Adventist Church (Cape Conference), and after 14 young people gave their lives to God, he feels hopeful for the future.

The family-friendly festival includes 300 specialist stalls, new vehicle, agriculture and outdoor expos and the bigger, creepier Walk on the Wildside experience
Back by popular demand is the “Boeresport met Perde” demonstrations by JC Schoeman and his steeds in the MTN Arena
