BOOYSEN PARK:
Residentspetitionoverthree-yearlibrarypoweroutage
NKOSAZANA NGWADLA
FRUSTRATED residents of Booysen Park gathered at their local library recently to voice concerns over persistent service delivery failures, most notably the facility’s three-year electricity outage
The community meeting, which saw dozens of concerned citizens in attendance, culminated in the signing of a petition addressed to the Executive Mayor, demanding immediate intervention
According to a concerned resident who wished to remain anonymous, the prolonged absence of power has severely hampered the library’s ability to provide essential services to the community
“It’s absolutely shocking that a vital community resource has been left without electricity for three years,” the resident said “Despite numerous complaints and promises from officials, we’ve seen no progress whatsoever It’s simply unacceptable ”
The petition highlighted the critical role the library plays in community development and education, particularly for learners who rely on the facility for research and study purposes Residents emphasised that the continued neglect reflects a broader pattern of service delivery failures in the area
Remarkably, despite operating under challenging conditions, the library staff have maintained several crucial community programmes
Recent weeks saw the hosting of an Early Development Teachers’ Workshop aimed at supporting local educators, alongside a popular craft workshop organised by members of the Sunshine Elderly Ladies’ Club
“Our library continues to function and serve the community despite having no electricity for three years,” explained the anonymous resident “The staff deserve tremendous credit for their dedication, but they shouldn’t have to work in these conditions How can we promote
literacy and learning when basic infrastructure is neglected?”
Community leaders and staff members who organised the meeting reported that the petition garnered significant sup-
port, and it was formally presented to the Mayor’s office They expressed hope that the collective action would finally prompt authorities to restore power to the facility
“We’re not asking for special treatment,” added the resident “We simply want the basic services we’re entitled to as taxpaying citizens Three years without electricity in a public library
would never be tolerated in more affluent areas ”

A THREE-DAY Metropolitan Police Commissioners Forum was recently held in Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality, hosted by the South African National Roads Agency Limited (SANRAL)
The gathering brought together commissioners from all metros, including Nelson Mandela Bay, Tshwane, Johannesburg, eThekwini, Mangaung and Cape Town, to review and enhance law enforcement strategies in South Africa
SANRAL opened the session with a detailed presentation showcasing their work, highlighting cutting-edge technology such as CCTV cameras and traffic detectors
These tools enabled real-time road monitoring, swift incident detection, and efficient road incident management
In a statement, the NMBM said the presentation highlighted SANRAL’s commitment to collaborative efforts with law enforcement agencies, focusing on
how their services could support and enhance road safety initiatives and community protection
During the forum, SANRAL highlighted the alarming rate of theft and vandalism of traffic infrastructure, including traffic lights and signals
This problem has significantly contributed to a rise in road fatalities, prompting the agency to explore effective solutions to curb vandalism and enhance road safety
The Metropolitan Police Commissioners’ Forum focused on training collaborations between the South African Police Services (SAPS), the Municipal Metropolitan Police Services and the Road Traffic Management Corporation
Key areas discussed included training programmes for metro police members, technical research and uniform standards
The panel revisited key training initiatives from previous meetings, including the development of an entry-level managerial course for Municipal Police
Services and the establishment of municipal standards for MPD 9 and mounted services
Representatives from Motorola Solutions joined the panel to explore technical research initiatives to enhance road and community safety
These included leveraging CCTV footage for accident capture, automated incident reporting to emergency services, and monitoring vehicles and individuals that violated traffic laws
The forum noted that these efforts would greatly benefit the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality in eliminating crime and promoting safety across the Metro
On the second day, hosted at Coega IDZ, key stakeholders in attendance, including the Member of the Mayoral Committee for Safety and Security, Councillor Luyanda Lawu, Metro Police Commissioner, Advocate Andrew Moses, Metro Police Colonel, Raquel Paulsen, Metro Police Colonel, Mlindi Mangwane, and commissioners from various provinces across South
Africa
In his remarks, the MMC emphasised the importance of tackling crime in the metro, highlighting the need for innovative strategies to drive down crime statistics
Key discussion points among the commissioners included strategic interventions to enhance local policing standards, as well as initiatives to standardise training, leverage research, and harness technical expertise
In April, the PE Express reported that the Transport Minister, Barbara Creecy, along with Deputy Minister, Mkhuleko Hlengwa, Eastern Cape MEC for Transport and Community Safety, Xolile Nqatha, Nelson Mandela Bay Executive Mayor, Babalwa Lobishe, and senior executives from SANRAL, conducted site inspections showcasing significant projects driving economic growth and road safety improvements in the Eastern Cape One of these projects is SAN-
RAL's Freeway Management System (FMS), a network of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) that actively manages and monitors freeways to improve safety, efficiency, and traveller information
It utilises technologies like CCTV, variable message signs (VMS), and traffic detectors to monitor traffic flow, detect incidents, and provide real-time information to road users
The FMS is designed to reduce delays, improve congestion management, and contribute to safer roads
At the time, Creecy outlined her optimism for the area’s future: “This is about long-term impact safer roads, stronger communities, and a thriving economy ”
The FMS is a groundbreaking project and the first of its kind in the province It enables SANRAL to monitor road conditions in real time, respond promptly to incidents, and provide live updates to motorists, enhancing road safety
Despite the many challenges, the staff recently hosted an Early Development Teacher’s workshop.

NMBBusinessChamberlaunchesEntrepreneurProgramme
A NEW chapter in local business development
is underway as the Nelson Mandela Bay Business Chamber officially launches the Entrepreneur Programme, in partnership with Airports Company South Africa (ACSA) and the iLembe Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Tourism
This is aimed at strengthening the foundation and competitiveness of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Nelson Mandela Bay
"The Entrepreneur 2025 Programme is designed not just to train, but to transform It gives serious business owners the tools and perspective needed to position themselves for long-term sustainability and market relevance," said Denise van Huyssteen, CEO of the Nelson Mandela Bay Business Chamber
"Being selected as a key delivery partner in this national initiative reflects the Chamber's growing reputation for practical, action-oriented business support We see this as an opportunity to build a more inclusive and competitive economy in Nelson Mandela Bay, especially given our high unemployment levels By backing businesses that already have market traction, we're helping to fast-track job creation and boost local value chains where they matter most "
This initiative, developed in partnership with ACSA and the iLembe Chamber of Commerce, is a results-driven platform built to deliver real change for businesses that are already operational and ready to scale
"As an enabler of economic growth and transformation, Airports Company South Africa deems socio-economic development (SED) and Enterprise and Supplier Development initiatives as a significant component that is realised through community upliftment This aligns with South Africa's National Development Plan (NDP) and is guided by the company's transformation imperatives and sustainability framework," said Ele Tshikovhi, ACSA Group Manager Transformation
The programme is uniquely positioned to sup-

port MSMEs that are already trading and are prepared to take the next step With academic support from the University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN) and strategic input from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), the curriculum integrates local context with world-class entrepreneurial thinking
Cobus Oelofse, the iLembe Chamber of Commerce CEO, stated, "The iLembe Chamber is excited to see our partnership with ACSA spreading its wings across the country The collaboration with the Nelson Mandela Bay Business Chamber is a powerful lift-off for our shared mission to build resilient, sustainable businesses that can drive local economic growth and job creation This partnership re-
flects our belief that entrepreneurship flourishes when rooted in collaboration, local relevance and a shared vision "
Running over seven weeks, the programme provides participants with structured training, one-on-one mentorship, and exposure to seasoned business leaders From customer segmentation to systems thinking, each session is designed to refine business models, enhance value offerings, and address operational blind spots

Finalists will have the opportunity to showcase their businesses, with winners receiving targeted business development funding However, prize allocation is not automatic Disbursement will be based on mentor recommendations, business plan viability, and adherence to programme expectations, ensuring resources go only where they can generate measurable impact
The initiative is formalised through a beneficiary agreement, making expectations and deliverables clear Sessions range from business model canvas deep-dives to sustainability and IT integration, closing with comprehensive business plan development
With Nelson Mandela Bay's unemployment rate among the highest in the country, the Entrepreneur 2025 Programme is a strategic intervention targeting economic resilience at its core By accelerating growth for high-potential MSMEs, the initiative aims to create ripple effects across employment, supplier development, and community upliftment
Claudia Daniels, Chief Dawid Stuurman International Airport Manager, shared: "At Airports Company South Africa (ACSA), we recognise that our role extends beyond the boundaries of aviation We are deeply committed to contributing to the socio-economic development of the communities we serve The partnership with the Nelson Mandela Bay Business Chamber is a reflection of our strategic vision and our dedication to making a positive impact where it matters most "

NKOSAZANA NGWADLA
DIFFERENT stakeholders and community members successfully conducted a cleanup operation in Beverly Grove, Ward 39 of Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality, recently
The initiative, which focused on clearing overgrown public spaces, brought together local leaders and residents in a collaborative effort to improve the area
The Democratic Alliance Nelson Mandela Bay office celebrated the event's success in a statement released afterwards "We did it! Massive thank you to everyone who rolled up their sleeves and joined us for our community clean-up initiative in Beverly Grove," the state-
ment read
"We worked together, cleared the debris, and made our community a cleaner place "
Ward 39 Councillor, Margaret De Andrade, who led the initiative, a new civilian-led movement aimed at transforming Nelson Mandela Bay into South Africa's tidiest metropolitan area by 2028, expressed her gratitude to participants
"Thank you to this amazing team that assisted in cleaning the Public Open Space across Jackson in Kragga Kamma Ward 39," De Andrade said She acknowledged that there was "still lots to do" and confirmed they would "revisit to ensure it s clear for the municipality to cut the grass "
De Andrade, who is also part of the TidyNMB initiative, praised the collaborative nature of the event, noting it showed "amazing stakeholders coming together, taking back their suburbs " Atlas Security's Rapid Intervention Unit also participated in the cleanup effort, highlighting their stance on the importance of private sector involvement in community improvement The security company emphasised the connection between clean neighbourhoods and safety in their own statement
"At Atlas Security, we believe that a safer neighbourhood is also a cleaner one Overgrown areas and illegal dumping aren t just eyesores; they create hiding spots and escape routes for crimi-
nals That's why we stepped in, not just with patrols, but with hands-on help," the company added
The DA indicated that such community partnerships formed part of their broader strategy for the municipality "The DA will continue to partner with residents and civic groups to take back our municipality and bring back good governance in the Nelson Mandela Bay Metropolitan Municipality," their statement concluded
Similar cleanup efforts were conducted elsewhere in the municipality, with Councillor Roelf Basson and local residents attending to what was described as "a much needed clean up in College Hill and Penford area" in Kariega

DECADES OF FUN, FELLOWSHIP AND DRAUGHT BEER:
Barney’sbirthdaybashcelebrates40years
HEIDI BOTHA
BARNEY’S Pub and Tavern, synonymous with Gqeberha’s beachfront and Shark Rock Pier, is one of Gqeberha’s most loved pubs and restaurants and has recently been celebrating its 40th birthday
The pub, which started as the very first micro-brewery in South Africa, opened its doors to the people of our city in 1991 and swapped the thrill of Gold Reef City for a stunning sea view, a tourist’s dream and a local’s daily vitamin sea boost with a Castle in hand
Amid the exciting hustle and bustle in Barney’s on the morning of their birthday celebrations, I speak to Gus Ferguson, founder of Barney’s, originally from Gqeberha His good-humoured yet dignified presence brings a certain gravitas to the conversation, and one soon realises that he embodies the strong ethics and enduring, old-fashioned values of the business
It becomes immediately clear that Barney’s manager and co-owner, Craig Mittens, has infectious energy that matches that of his bar restaurant Mittens met his wife, Ferguson’s daughter, while working at Barney’s in Gold Reef City in 1989 and studying at Wits University, before they upped and moved Barney’s to Gqeberha
Having always integrated local history into the business, the tavern is filled with moments from the past As one enters, a timeline is available for perusal, highlighting key moments from the history of South African Breweries (SAB), formerly Castle Breweries, and the rise and evolution of craft beer, alongside
Barney’s landmark events Within the Castle Corner section of Barney’s, vistas of the city from different times are showcased
“We really tied ourselves into the history of the city itself and are always trying to do our bit to preserve heritage,” Mittens mentions
Despite challenges along the way, the highlights are numerous Barney’s was a prime spot for celebrating the Springbok Rugby World Cup victories in 1995, 2007, 2019 and 2023 in true jubilant South African style And during the 2010 Soccer World Cup, it became the largest independent Castle Draught outlet in the country
Mittens says, “It has been a lot of work leading up to today We’ve got fantastic partners like SAB They’ve been with us for the long haul and have put in a big effort for us ” It is evident that Barney’s ability to adapt, catering to the changing times and needs of its customers while retaining its original business elements, has contributed considerably to Barney’s success and stability
Ferguson emphasises the importance of having brought about subtle changes throughout the years to maintain the establishment’s unique character and appeal Food has become a very important part of the business over the last ten years, bringing people together and changing the perception of the pub, as it is now known as a restaurant bar Mittens also highlights the importance of collaboration between the private and the public sector in driving business and tourism to foster further economic growth for the area and the city Other businesses located on the beachfront, like the
Boardwalk Mall, have brought increased foot traffic, and the positive effects of many cruise ships docking in the harbour continue to empower local businesses and contribute to a dynamic economic environment
With good food and a wide variety of beers on tap, as well as a selection of local brews and the best view of the bay that the city has to offer, it is evident why Barney’s deck is always buzzing Throw in some live music every day of the week, and there is no reason to wonder why Gqeberha’s “oldest brew house” is many people’s favourite hangout
“We’ve definitely put a lot of musicians’ careers on the map,” Mittens adds
The 80s-themed birthday celebrations include rewarding long-serving staff – some of whom have been working at Barney’s for a decade or almost two – and doing what Barney’s does best: treating invited guests, customers and representatives from SAB with good food, drink and music entertainment inside as well as outside
On its 40th, it is clear that Barney’s has come full circle: from brewing the first craft beer at the Barney’s Gold Reef City Mini Brewery in 1985 to receiving a unique craft beer from SAB, specially crafted as a tribute to Barney’s 40th anniversary
Ferguson’s advice, “Keep the business as steady as you can”, has most definitely reaped the benefits When I ask him about future plans, he reiterates, “We’ll keep upgrading It will be bigger and better!’
Ferguson and Mittens smile as they raise their glasses and the tide rolls in beside the pier: steady and unhurried, yet unstoppable

THE Joy Group, led by Henry Fourie, donated bottles of soup mix to the residents of Adcock Homes in Schauderville recently
The charitable event saw each of the 58 residential units receive a bottle of soup mix, capable of providing approximately two litres of nutritious soup when prepared
The donation was part of The Joy Group’s ongoing community outreach initiatives, aimed at supporting vulnerable members of the Schauderville community
“We believe that small acts of kindness can make a significant difference in people’s lives,” Fourie said during the handover ceremony “Each bottle of soup mix represents not just a meal, but our commitment to standing alongside our community members during challenging times ”
Residents expressed their gratitude as they received the donations, with many highlighting the practical value of the contribution, especially given the rising cost of living
This latest charitable effort followed a significant community project undertaken by The Joy Group in March In a previous PE Express report, the group shared that to display and en-
courage a community spirit and generosity, the group embarked on a mission to transform the living conditions of a woman in need within the Schauderville community
The March project involved a comprehensive renovation of the woman’s modest single room With her permission, the team cleared out her room, repainted it, and installed new cupboards, a new bed, and enhanced electrical fittings The transformation provided not only improved living conditions but also restored dignity and hope
“Our work is about more than just material assistance,” explained Fourie at the time “It’s about showing people that they matter, that their circumstances can improve, and that there are those in the community who care deeply about their well-being ” The Joy Group’s continued efforts have touched the lives of many and serve as an inspiring reminder of the power of collective action
Fourie said he hopes their work demonstrates how community-led initiatives can address local needs effectively and with
compassion
"It is our moral imperative to remain mindful of the struggles and requirements of those less privileged than ourselves
This principle is powerfully illustrated in Matthew 25:42-45:
'For I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not visit me ' We selected Adcock Homes for our charitable initiative specifically because we have personal connections with several residents
there, giving us unique insight into their particular needs and circumstances This direct relationship has allowed us to provide targeted assistance where it will have the most meaningful impact Looking forward, our next endeavour will focus on collecting blankets for another care facility for the elderly, where we have identified a significant need for additional support We remain committed to addressing the practical needs of our community’s most vulnerable members through direct and thoughtful action," Fourie concluded

HENKSTEENKAMP
Framesby,Pearsonbattleto adrawintoughrugbymatch
IT might have been a draw, but this was one of Pearson High's most memorable rugby days in a long time
The Summerstrand school has been working really hard in recent years to strengthen its rugby structures and be able to compete with the big dogs
There have been some good results along the way for the first XV, like the victory over Queen’s College earlier in the year, but the 19-19 draw against the well-established fellow Gqeberha school, Framesby, was the biggest reward for all the hard work
The first XVs of these two schools haven’t played against each other for many years, but it was worth the wait
Playing at home and with provincial representatives in their ranks, Framesby were regarded as the favourites to win this one
Although both sides made a lot of unforced errors, they produced a thrilling, high-paced match Both scored three tries, of which two were converted, and had their opportunities to seal the deal
Framesby had a handy lead of 14-5 early in the second half, but did not have the game management to hang on for victory
Another huge problem for the home side was the lineouts Both sides struggled in this department, but Framesby was just shocking! Pearson also put Framesby under pressure at scrum time, where loose head prop, Joshua
Pienaar, was a tower of strength
He made his presence felt from the very first scrum, which resulted in a penalty to Pearson
The biggest star, though, was the Pearson fly half, Denilo Jordaan He made life difficult for Framesby with his strong running and quick decision making Framesby was excellent in exploiting the Pearson errors, as one of Damian Witbooi’s two tries showed
Ethan Terblanché (flanker) scored Framesby’s other try after Pearson couldn’t field a chip kick from Calestin Felkers (fly half) Aiden Brewis (fullback) added two conversions Jordaan (2) and Siya Ncwadi (wing) were the Pearson try scorers Keano Beling (fullback) converted two of the tries
Just eight kilometres away from this titanic battle, another nail-biter was in progress on the Kolisi Field at Grey High
Grey was involved in a humdinger against the Makhanda outfit, St Andrew’s College St Andrew’s always had their noses in front, at one stage leading 21-10, and won 28-27 after Grey fought back
It was a tough one for Grey, especially after also going down by one point against Queen’s College the previous Saturday

THE stable of local trainer Alan Greeff continues to make a tremendous impact on South African horse racing
Greeff is enjoying a wonderful season and produced another sensational victory on the national scene this past Saturday
He won the R1 million Allan Robertson Championship for two-year-old fillies over 1200m at Scottsville in Pietermaritzburg with the talented Direct Hit
This victory meant that the Greeff yard is not only dominating racing at the Fairview track in Greenbushes, but has also won races in Gauteng, the Western Cape and KwaZulu-Natal this season
Direct Hit also won the Cape Nursery at Kenilworth in Cape Town earlier this year, and another Greeff-trained two-year-old filly, Golden Palm, was the winner of the SA Fillies Nursery at Turffontein in Johannesburg in March
Although Greeff is the star of the show, he was quick to recognise the strength of Fairview as a racing centre He also acknowledged the hard work of his fellow Gqeberha trainers after Saturday’s victory Champion jockey Richard Fourie rode the unbeaten Direct Hit in all of her four starts and reckons she is “a special filly”
Direct Hit is only the third locally trained filly to win the prestigious Allan Robertson Championship
Greeff trained Silver Arc, who won the race in 2003 Geepee S, trained by the late Nic Claassen, won it in 2008 for the Eastern

At this past Friday’s Fairview meeting, Greeff and Fourie combined to win three of the eight races, including the feature of the day, which was the Lady’s Slipper Stakes Greeff won this race for two-year-old fillies over 1400m for the third time in a row when Golden Palm destroyed the opposition It was also a hat trick of her own for Golden Palm She has now won her last three starts after finishing second on debut
“She is a joy to ride and has a bright future,” Fourie said of Golden Palm Golden Palm will most likely take on much stronger in the Golden Slipper race next month in Durban after she handled the step up in distance very well Gavin Smith also saddled a treble at the Fairview meeting and passed 100 winners for the season in the process
Greeff has moved up to 146 Fairview winners (and don’t forget those three out-oftown victories), and Smith is on 102
The Cliffie Miller stable also had a good outing, combining with jockey Marco van Rensburg, with a double
There are only two months of the current season remaining, which means time is running out to achieve the goals that were set out at the start
The Wedgewood Handicap over 2400m will be the feature race at this coming Friday’s meeting at Fairview It will be a test of stamina for the fillies and mares
