DAAR is steeds geen keer aan Kariega se gestremde liggaamsbouer Max Kulati nie
Hy het Saterdagaand in die Kaap die IFBB Cape Classic Pro-am kompetisie gewen en sodoende gekwalifiseer vir die IFBB All Pro-kompetisie wat in Desember in Johannesburg gehou word Kulati het in die rolstoel-afdeling deelgeneem en het net een teenstander, Terminator Mabaso van Durban, gehad
Hy sê groot kompetisies lê voor en daar is dus geen tyd vir slaplê nie
“Van hier af is dit net oefen, oefen en nogmaals oefen,” sê hy
In Oktober vlieg hy Engeland toe om aan ’n internasionale kompetisie deel te neem
“Hiér sal van die wêreld se beste gestremde atlete in aksie wees, maar my
fokus is altyd om te wen ”
Kulati sê die publiek besef nie altyd wat agter die skerms gebeur tydens voorbereiding nie
Hy sê sy afrigter Steve Bonga doen reusewerk en hou hom deurgaans rustig en positief
Dan is hy ook dankbaar teenoor Gerald Pietersen van 3D Consulting in Kariega en ’n familielid Nozikhumbuzo Nqokoto, wat agter die skerms baie met sy sukses te doen het
“Dieet is ’n uiters belangrikle deel van ’n liggaamsbouer se lewe en sy berei my maaltye voor “Dan het sy ook ’n groot invloed op my gemoedstoestand
“’n Streng dieet maak liggaamsbouers menigmaal buierig, maar sy help ook daarmee om my te kalmeer “Sonder hulle kan ek dit nie doen nie,” sê hy Kulati spog al met verskeie internasionale titels en glo sy beste jare lê nog voor
AFTER the devastating flash floods of 1 June 2024, the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality's Roads and Transport Directorate has been hard at work restoring the vital infrastructure in KwaNobuhle
Owing to the flash floods, the Matanzima Bridge collapsed, causing congestion on alternative routes in and out of KwaNobuhle
Two severely damaged bridges near the intersections of Matanzima and Ponana Tini Road, and Nomakhwezana Road, are currently undergoing major reconstruction
Since work began on 12 May 2025, progress has steadily reached 20%, according to the municipality, with completion anticipated by the end of October 2025
So far, the riverbed has been cleared of debris and vegetation, damaged concrete slabs were removed, cracks on the abutments were repaired, spalled concrete on
the parapets was restored, and gabion baskets were placed underneath the bridges
The Roads and Transport Directorate also provided temporary relief to Nomakhwezana Road by building a temporary road behind Laetitia Bam Day Hospital Additionally, they diverted the river for construction, demolished the damaged floor slabs, and installed gabion protection, which is still underway
The municipality added that about 17% of the total R83 million budget for completing the bridge works has already been invested
Approximately 39 SMME contractors will benefit from an estimated amount of over R26 million, stating that this initiative is more than just construction it's a commitment to safety, mobility, and resilience for the community
PlantKariegacelebratesastrong yearastheHomeofPolo
FROM record production volumes to strong export performance, Volkswagen Group Africa’s (VWGA) first year as the Home of Polo has been a year of achievement
Though VWGA’s Plant Kariega has been building the popular Polo since 1996 and the Polo Vivo since 2010, it has been the self-proclaimed Home of Polo only since 1 July 2024
This was when the plant officially became the sole exporter (for left- and right-hand drive European and Asia-Pacific markets) of the Polo in the Volkswagen Group, sending this hatchback to 38 markets around the world
In fact, Polos account for 88% of exported vehicles through the Port of Port Elizabeth Between July 2024 and June 2025, 119 336 Polos have been exported from Kariega to Europe and the Asia-Pacific region Of these, the biggest receivers of Polos are Germany, France and the United Kingdom On top of this, the Polo was South Africa’s most exported vehicle in 2024
During this same 12-month period, the plant celebrated a record production volume A total of 167 084 vehicles were built in Kariega in 2024, of which 131 485 units were Polos for export, and 35 599 vehicles were Polos and Polo Vivos for the local market A record-breaking 13 930 Polos were built in October 2024 alone
The Polo also performed strongly in the local market last year, selling 12 253 units and being named the Top Locally Manufactured Vehicle of the Year at the Naamsa Accelerator Awards in October 2024
“The Polo is unquestionably an icon, and we are proud to call Plant Kariega its home,” said Ulrich Schwabe, Production Director at VWGA “Our first year as the sole exporter of the Polo was certainly a strong one, and we plan to build on the foundation of this success continuously and consistently, with the Polo, Vivo and our upcoming third model, the Tengo ”

A LOCAL initiative is bringing aspiring Nelson Mandela Bay filmmakers together through films screened at local community halls.
Kasi Bioscope, the brainchild of Lazola Ntsiko and Mthobeli Moni, will be screening local short films and feature films across the metro this August.
"These screenings feature films which were shot and produced in Gqeberha and Kariega," Moni explained.
"The producers of these films are aspiring filmmakers; some have little to no formal education when it comes to filmmaking."
Kasi Bioscope was established in 2014 with the aim of bringing film screenings to
youth in Motherwell and Kariega who do not have access to such opportunities.
Explaining the thought behind Kasi Bioscope and how it all started, Moni shared:
"We are film enthusiasts, some who like horror and others who act in dramas. We come from a background where we watch and share films from a garage every Saturday," he said.
"We thought, instead of going to YouTube to showcase our films, why not go to communities to screen the films. This year, after receiving funding from the National Film and Video Foundation, for which they have been applying since 2020, made it possible to share screenings of local short films in community halls across Nelson Mandela Bay "
About 26 people, mostly students and a few filmmakers from Nelson Mandela Bay, submitted their films, which are being screened.
The first short film screened was Ace of Spades, a horror film produced by a nine-
to amount to much, but also where defying the odds is the only way out," said Moni.
"We saw how many powerful local stories never reach the people they're made for. Kasi Bioscope gives filmmakers a direct line to their communities. It's not just a screening; it's a moment where the audience sees themselves on screen."
Film screenings in August will take place at the following venues from 12:00 to 16:00:
• August 2: Walmer Multipurpose, Walmer, Gqeberha
• August 16: DeJa Vu Dance Studio, Cleary Park, Gqeberha
• August 30: The Athenaeum Museum, Central, Gqeberha (Panel of Speakers and Film Screenings)
