AN illegal electrical connectionclaimed the life of a 3-year-old girlat the Powerline informal settle-ment in NU8 Motherwell lastWednesday.

Now the family of five, who depend on thegogo’s old-age pension payout and one childsupport grant, need assistance to bury thechild.

The untimely death of little Solakha Futhaby electrocution because of izinyoka (illegalelectricity connectors) has exacerbated theproblem that this community of shack-dwell-ers is facing.

“The sad part of this already worst case sce-nario, is that the grandmother of the child whodied, does not even use stolen electricity. Shemakes fire with wood to cook and uses candlesto light her shack,” Ward 57 Councillor Them-bile Nkosiyaphantsi said.

Solakha’s mother, Nontobeko Futha, said,“My mother, Liziwe Futha, was hanging wash-ing in the backyard when she noticed that theelectric wires that crisscrossed our shack wereloose and broken. While she was busy she feltshe was being shocked.

“She (Liziwe) hated the illegal connectionsand left the backyard to use the line in frontof the house. As she was talking about it, Sola-kha ran out in front of her to the line in frontand fell on the ground. She was electrocuted,”a sobbing Nontobeko said, adding that the mul-tiple electric wires were also exposed.

Solakha’s gogo started shouting franticallyat the neighbours who were doing illegal con-nections, saying that they must come and seewhat they had done.

According to Nontobeko some of her neigh-

bours admitted that they knew her mother didnot use electricity through illegal means, andhad promised to take responsibility for help-ing the family bury the child.

Councillor Thembile Nkosiyaphantsi said,“Two ladies did come with the gogo and askedthat we assist in the burial of the child. I saidno! We can’t do that. If they admit that theywere guilty, they must go further and findways to assist the needy family.”

Nkosiyaphantsi added that he also advisedthat they collect money and ask for donations.

Through Nkosiyaphantsi’s assistance, thechild was kept at the government mortuarywhile the family sought the means for burial.

Nontobeko said she was not sure whetherthe family would follow the councillor’s adviceto seek donations from community members.

“Some were very drunk when they came forprayers last Friday. One even said we shouldnot worry as though we had lost a breadwin-ner - it was just a child,” said Nontobeko, whowas carrying her 7-month-old baby on herback. She toldExpress Indaba she had two old-er children who live with relatives in Port Al-fred, while she and her two younger childrenstayed with her mother and two siblings.

According to the councillor, this was the sec-ond death of a child as a result of electric shockin this community of about 900 people whoneed electricity. Two more little children wereseriously injured when they were electrocutedrecently.

“These people pull electricity from the mu-nicipal pole which, owing to the heavy cur-rent, cannot handle it anymore. Some use elec-tricity illegally from formal houses and theypay for it. This is a big problem facing thiscommunity. We tell them to stop it but theycontinue to do it nonetheless,” said Nkosiya-phantsi.

CLAIMS that Mandisa Masiki is not guiltyof public violence - the charge she is current-ly in jail for - will be proved by the court oflaw, said police spokespersonCaptainAndréBeetge.

This was in reaction to people from WellsEstate who stood outside court claiming tosupport Masiki, popularly known as Nora-bhase.While the court was in progress, a handful

of supporters gathered outside court singingfreedom songs in support of Norabhase.They did not allow photographs to be tak-

en, alleging that they were being victimisedfor challenging “poor service delivery” bythe ANC Ward 60 Councillor Nondikho Ga-na.“We can give Express Indaba our story.

But we do not want our picture to be taken,

because we are the targets of police who arenot even from Port Elizabeth. They don’tknow who was involved in the public vio-lence, now they arrest anybody. But, weknow for sure that Norabhase was notthere,” said one resident.

“Wewant her out or there’ll be hell to pay.What they claim to be public violence is stillnothing,” said another resident.Capt Beetge said, “Of course, anyone is in-

nocent until proven guilty by a court of law,”adding that a police investigation into thepublic violence that included the blockadingof Jijana Street with huge stones and burnttyres was directed at the suspect.“According to police investigation the sus-

pect was the ring leader. According to the re-ports at our disposal she was the instigator,”said Beetge, adding that the suspect was de-nied bail.“Shewill be remanded in custody until her

next appearance in court,” said Beetge.

to destroy the ruling alliance. TheANCneedsSANCO as an Alliance partner ahead of theforthcoming local government elections,”Du-

CO cannot go alone. Those who think thatSANCO can contest local government elec-tions against theANCaremakingahugemis-take,” said Duba, adding that there was noway that the ANC and its alliance partners,SANCO and the South African CommunistParty (SACP) could divorce.According to Duba, a lot can be learnt from

Magqabi, who was a disciplined, tried andtested cadre of the movement who playedsport like boxing, rugby and dance sport.“In Magqabi’s memory, the youth of today

should not be found in the taverns.”Member of Provincial Legislature (MPL)

Residents of the metro may start noticingsignificant improvements to the waste man-agement services of late, as a result of theMetro’s IntegratedWasteManagement Plan(IWMP) project being undertaken by GIBB,South Africa’s leading black-owned engi-neering firm.

According to Walter Fyvie, Environmen-tal Scientist at GIBB, and Project Manager,completion is scheduled for late 2015. “TheNMBM has prioritised waste management,and the four-year implementation processwas initiated by the City in 2011,” Fyviesaid.Plans are currently being formulated for

the Nkonkobe Local Eastern Cape Munici-pality, and the local municipalities of Man-deni and Nquthu in KZN.

The key objectives of the NMBM Integrat-ed Waste Management Plan are to:

) Improve future planning of waste infra-structure

) Provide an enabling environment forrecycling

) Eradicate the need for a fortnightly col-lection services

) Improve infrastructure management) Reduce illegal dumping) Improve public awareness, and) Improve public perception.“The deadline for the National Waste

Management Strategy targets is 2016; how-ever many of these targets have proved un-realistic and beyond the reach of most au-thorities. Some authorities have struggledto review their IWMPs on a regular cycleand many have not used their IWMPs toguide their planning and implementation asintended,” commented Fyvie.

WITH Guy Fawkes and Diwali approaching,the National Council of SPCAs calls for re-straint, responsibilityandconsideration fromall quarters.

Diwali is theFestivalofLightand itsbeautyis inherent.Loudbangs formnopartof it.GuyFawkes has no relevance in South Africa andit is questioned why it is “celebrated” at all.

It has become increasingly evident thatreckless individuals are using both “events”to utilise fireworks in a particularly anti-so-cial manner.

This includes ignoring any restrictions andcausingdamage toproperty, aswell as terrify-ing communities and animals.

According to Christine Kuch from The Na-tional Council of SPCAs, “The SPCA does notenforce the laws relating to the use of fire-works.The regulations, both local andnation-al, are watertight.

“The Explosives Act is enforced by theSAPS to whommatters of concern need to bereported. ThisAct covers sale of fireworks, aswell as issues relating to the discharge of fire-works in public places. Local by-laws –whichvary - regulate the discharge of fireworks onprivate property. “In some Municipalities,permits are required; in other areas there isdispensation for Diwali between specified

times.”Be aware of pets’ sensitivityAnyone with an animal is requested to be

responsible and to ensure the animal’s safetyand comfort.

The hearing of animals is far more acuteand sensitive than the hearing of a human. Ifa dog can hear a grasshopper eat, imaginewhat a firework sounds like.

Stay with your pets. Keep them indoors. Ifan animal is sensitive by nature, then consultyourveterinarian foradvice.Donotgivemed-ication intended for humans to animals andabove all, ensure that animals are not in dan-ger of harming themselves if they bolt – evenindoors - or react when a firework is dis-charged in the area. Despite regulations andappeals for calm, this can occur.

This opportunity is taken to ask everyoneto ensure that animals have identification.Report hooligan behaviourHooligan, dangerous and illegal behaviour

relating to fireworks must to be reported tothe South African Police Service, giving fulldetails.

“Onbehalf of the SPCAmovement in SouthAfrica,weextendgoodwishes toeveryonecel-ebrating Diwali and we trust that this year,the celebrations will be in accordance withthe truespirit of theFestival ofLight: - beauty,light, love and above all, compassion,” saidKuch.

Led by their band director, JeffTaylor, the school’s musicianshosted senior citizens from differ-ent old age homes and churches inPort Elizabeth. The school’s seniorcitizen day is an annual event thatfirst took place in 2011, as part ofthe school’s outreach programme.For an hour and a half, the boys

entertain attendees with their in-strumental renditions of classic‘golden oldies’. On the day, themu-sical numbers provided an air ofnostalgia that hadmanyof the sen-ior citizens on their feet.According to IreneBurke, one of

concert, was the unique way inwhich each musical item was an-nounced. Before the band started anew song, Taylorwould launch in-to a story about what each itemmeant to the older folk.The rendition of the 1961 sound-

track of Breakfast at Tiffany’s,“Moon River”, made the crowd es-pecially teary, as it allowed for thereminiscing of years passed.The crowd could not get enough

of the four young boys who lenttheir voices to the itemandwas ex-tremely impressedwith the effortsmade by Taylor.Also in attendance was Leon

Brainers, who commented on howyoung the music made him feel.“Forget the fact that it was chil-

dren playing this beauti-fulmusic, themusic itselfjust takes you back.Thesechildrenwillneverknow what they havedone for us,” said Brain-ers, full of smiles.

able advice before the com-petition which served as gui-dance. “I was honoured tospeak to them,” he said.When playing to crowds, hebelieves that grabbing the

crowd’s attention is of the ut-most importance. “If theydance to your jam and yougive them some form of in-teraction, it makes their ex-perience worthwhile.”Should DJMthakes be cho-

sen as the winner, it willkick-start his DJ career -which has always been adream of his.The final event is taking

place on Saturday November7 at Buyel’Embo Village,Mandela Park in Khayelit-sha.Tickets for the event are

IT took 27 hours, a broken arm, a back injuryandmany blisters tomake the Bay the recordholder for the longest rugby match ever play-ed.

On Friday, 46 players from Siyakhula,Sports Revolution, Swallows andMotherwellplayed more than 20 regular matches conse-cutively at the Dan Qeqe Stadium in Zwideto beat the existing record for the longestmatch of 25 hours, 59 minutes and 47 seconds.This record, according to the Guinness

World Records, was set last year in Augustbetween the Boars and Barbarians at Broms-grove Rugby Club in Worcestershire, En-gland.On Saturday afternoon, at about 2:17pm,

the two teams Eezy Fana and Camagu, stum-bled off the field after 27 hours, 2 minutes and52 seconds of playing time.“Their feet were full of blisters. Their jer-

seys full of sweat, dust and blood, but nothingprevented them from going through with the

challenge,” said Noxolo Nqwazi, executivedirector of Sport, Recreation, Arts andCultu-re in the Nelson Mandela Bay municipality.But the record attempt, played in honour

of former president Nelson Mandela’s 27 ye-ars in captivity, almost ended in disaster.Panki Tyobelo, a Camagu player broke hisarm at 2am on Saturday, players saw it as avalid excuse to throw in the towel.“But I refused.We had already come so far.

So I walked back on to the field with my bro-ken arm and said I would play until time wasup.“My teamquickly followedme and thenwe

played,” said Tyobelo.Camagu prevailed with 725 points to Eezy

Fana’s 688. Each team receivedR15 000 in pri-ze money.“The players did not do it for the money.

They did it out of love for the game, also toprove that sometimes champions are made,not born,” said Mazizi Msutu, president ofthe organizer, City of Champions.The record is expected to be included in

next year’s Guinness World Records.

FORMERNelsonMandela Bay pro boxerand trainer Caiphus Ntante, trainerMlawuli Nawule, ring official Ace Mak-aluza and promoter Sibongile Nkebehave been doing this region very proud.

Head of Silindokuhle Boxing Promo-tions, Nkebe had a very successful ma-jor boxing tournament, a contest for thevacant South African Welterweight titlefight between local boy Anelisa Gungqi-sa and Gauteng’s Shaun Ness at Nango-za Jebe Great Hall in New Brighton lastweek.It was a long time since the metro mu-

nicipality saw a fight of that magnitudestaged here, and brought together by alocal promoter.The last time a South African title

fight took place here was more thanthree years ago, by Siphatho Handi anow suspendedBoxing South Africapromotor from East London.“This tournament was a resounding

success. It went on so well. I like work-ing with someone as professional asNkebe,” said BSA Nelson Mandela BayService Provider Mthunzi Mapitiza aft-er the tournament.Nkebe who looks after the business in-

terests of a couple of pugilists he pro-

motes, has had a handful of them fight-ing for the national title - a show of greatmanagement and guidance âla MzimasiMngunis of this world.Nkebe works with the stables owned

by Mlawuli Nawule of KwaNobuhle andPE’s Ntante, the trainer at Caiph Camp.It is Nawule whose female boxer No-

ma-Mpondomise ‘Lily” Xotyeni won forthe first time in history, the SA FemaleJunior Lightweight championship.Although Nawule’s male boxer Ma-

khosonke Zwengu lost in his attempt towin the SA Lightheavyweight and Su-permiddleweight championships andLonwabo Roboshi failed to bring the SAstrawweight title home, such attemptsdeserve an applause.Ntante, whose boxer Siphosethu Nci-

sa-na has been approved by BSA to chal-lenge for the SA Miniflyweight title thatRoboshi lost against LuthandoMangcot-ywa in December, previously had Gung-qisa, (Welterweight), Lungisa Jikani(Junior Welterweight) and Masixole Bo-tile (Middleweight) challenging for thenational titles.Express Indaba understands that Bo-

tile and Jikani were also promised an-other crack at the national titles. Makal-uza is participating in internationalfights and world titles. They, all must beapplauded.

NMMU Madibaz continued their domi-nance in local football when they drew1-1 with their old rivals Callies in a PE-FA Score Energy Premier League gameto claim their second consecutive cham-pionship title on October 29.

Some of their achievements that theyhad won was when they were promotedto play in the SAFANelsonMandela BaySAB Regional League during the promo-tions playoffs.Their premier league reserve side put

a seal on their win in their division longbefore the final match, topping the tableby more than 10 league points. In addi-tion, to their league title they also suc-cessfully defended their PEFA KO Cupcrown this season.According to NMMU Madibaz Foot-

ball Manager Mark Tommy, these suc-cesses needed to be seen in the context

of a long and demanding competitivecalendar that his students had to navi-gate.“The Madibaz have played the most

dominant and successful teams in PEFAleagues this year. But while local rivalryis important, it is by no means the be-alland end-all for student sport,” said Tom-my.He said Madibaz were the only club in

the Eastern Cape that competed in alllevels of national competitions.“We have a national footprint in Var-

sity Football as well as the UniversitySport SA national club championshipswhere we have proved that we are oneof the top seven footballing universitiesin South Africa,” said Tommy.“Our objective is to show that it is pos-

sible to have a good tertiary educationand still achieve on the football field. Wehope our successes will motivate cur-rent Grade 12 learners to enrol at NMMUfor the 2016 academic year.”

“We played well against Black Aces. Ourplayers showed character to come from be-hind and score two stunning goals to win thematch,” said United Marketing and Commu-

nications Head, Luthando “Trompies” Zibe-ko.Except for MikeMayambela who sustained

a minor injury in their previous leaguematch, all the players were raring to goagainst Sundowns.“Everybody wants to play against Sun-

downs. The mood in the camp is so high.We’rewaiting for the doctor to assessMayam-bela and see whether he can be fielded,” saidZibeko of the imposing Tshwane outfit underformer Bafana BafanaHead Coach Pitso “Jin-gles” Mosimane.Mosimane would like to do well after

thrashing Free State Stars 6-1, drawing 0-0with Polokwane City and trouncing Maritz-burg United 3-0 before coming to the Bay.Keagan Dolly with four goals already this

season and Teko Modise must be kept incheck for the whole 90 minutes.Head Coach, Roger Sikhakhane did not do

badly too in his previous three matches, in-cluding a win against Black Aces.Apart from losing to Supersport United at

home, their only blemish, the Chilli Boys gotthe better of Maritzburg United 2-0.With Lerato Chabangu on song, the likes of

Eric Chipeta, Aristide Bance and even May-

ambela should he play, would like to scoregoals and prove that the Chilli Boys are hotlike chillies “Zibaba njengoPelepele” athome.“Winning is a habit. When you win you al-
