SABC2’sMorning Live Showwasbroadcast live at the Red Loca-tion Museum in New Brighton

last Thursday to announce the open-ing of thismuseumwhichhas been atthe centre of much controversy.

The filming of the opening of the

museum has, however, angered agroupof shackdwellerswhosaid theyare still waiting for the houses theywere promised.Claiming to represent about 400

people livingintheBlock40area, theysaidmayorDannyJordaan’sdecisionto open the museum without themgetting proper RDP houses was pre-mature. They accused the Phase 2

leadership of selling them out.“Weare twosideshere.There is the

Phase 2 side which has already bene-fited from housing development butwas not satisfied with the size of thehousing (they were given 40m2whereas they wanted 48m2) and uswho are in the shacks. We wantedRDP houses,” explained TinyMaxela(51).

Maxela said thatwhen themuseumhad been closed more than threeyears ago, the idea had been to openit only when both sides’ demandswere met.“We now see them opening themu-

ABANQOBI Conquerers Forum is a Non-Profit Organisation aimed at fighting crimeand criminality in Nelson Mandela Bay.

The organisation was formed in March byStanley Tokota, Sakhele Manona and VeraQwesha-Manona who have all had a run-inwith the law at one point in their lives.

Vera Qwesha-Manona was a prostitute whochanged her ways after she became a Chris-tian.

Manona and Tokota were dangerous thugs(amagintsa) who were reported on in the Ex-press Indaba on January 13 this year, whenthey denounced living a life of crime andhanded over a gun to authorities after attend-ing the church belonging to Nigerian ProphetTimothy Omotoso.

“When we accepted Jesus as Lord, we feltobliged to play our part in helping those weleft in crime to change their ways,” said Toko-ta.

They visit schools and tell the waywardyouth that crime doesn’t pay.

“Some of the boys in the township thoughtthat I was cool, robbing banks and commit-ting car-hijacking. But it was only a matterof time before my life would end up being onthe run, in jail and even losing my life. Wego to schools to tell the youth not to try this,it is not on,” said Manona.

The duo asked parents not to abdicate their

responsibility, but to go back to the basics,to nurture their children and ensure goodparenting. They asked township folk, and es-pecially professionals, to provide the youthwith role-models.

“We work with the Departments of Educa-tion, Social Development and Justice to talkand empower the youth as well as go to jailsto assist in making sure that inmates are re-habilitated and prepared to reconcile andmake peace with their victims,” said Qwesha-Manona whose life took a 360 degree turnsince she became a Christian.

She proudly revealed that she fell in lovewith and married Manona.

“We were sinners but in Jesus we foundlove, acceptance and hope. We then dedicatedour loves to be of use to the community. Forthat we thank the man of God who prayed forus and led the way,” said Qwesha Manona,adding that their other responsibility was tohelp fight against xenophobia.

“Hatred and killing of foreigners is wrong.Some are making a difference in the lives ofmany here in South Africa. We found God andlife through one of them,” said Qwesha Mano-na.

Manona as Qwesha wrote a biography“From Grass to Grace” illustrating how shewas saved from drugs and prostitution.

She provides talks to young girls inschools, churches and social clubs to warnthem against abandoning their schooling fora fast and furious life of risk and death.

MEMBERS of the South African Police Ser-vice (SAPS) performing operational dutiesin the Northern Areas of Port Elizabeth sur-vived gunshots at the weekend.

According to police spokesperson ColonelPriscilla Naidu, this started on Friday atabout 2:55pm after police in execution of awarrant, searched and arrested a suspect forpossession of drugs in Voissen Road, Helen-vale.

“As the suspect was escorted to the policevehicle, angry community members peltedpolice officials with stones. A sergeant wasstruck on her face with a brick,” said Col Na-

idu, adding that the crowd then followed thepolice to the Gelvandale police stationwhere they continued with their attack bythrowing stones.

This damaged private police vehicles, ac-cording to Naidu. She said they were, as aresult, investigating a case of public vio-lence.

In another incident in the Helenvale areaon Sunday, 5 June, around 6:15pm, SAPSmembers on patrol in a vehicle driving inFitchard Street, met a group of people run-ning towards them.

She said, “The two officers heard gunshots being fired and the community direct-ed them further up the road. Four suspectswere seen running, two of them armed with

firearms. They opened fire on the police. Noone was injured but a bullet penetrated thepolice vehicle. A case of attempted murderis under investigation.”

Deputy National Commissioner responsi-ble for National Management Interventions,Lieutenant General Gary Kruser, expressedhis concern over these incidents.

“Violent attacks on our police officers areunacceptable and deplorable, especiallywhen committed by the very people we aredeployed to serve and protect, the communi-ty,” Lt Gen. Kruser said.

He added that every effort would be madeand that all available resources used to en-sure that those who preyed on the communi-ty and those who attack the men and women

in blue, would face justice.“The SAPS will not be deterred by such

heinous acts in a quest to ensure that allpeople in the Northern areas of Port Eliza-beth are and feel safe,” he said.

Police urged law abiding citizens to reportsuch incidents to the nearby police or theCrime Stop number:0 08600 10111. Callershave a choice to remain anonymous.

According to the police spokesperson, theintervention units deployed in the NorthernAreas have made significant inroads andseveral suspects have been arrested and ille-gal firearms and ammunition are being con-fiscated daily since the start of OperationLockdown in March 2016. Police have seizedat least 35 firearms to date.

Seeing municipal trucks picking up rub-ble a few metres away from Red LocationMuseum, resident Boniswa Hanabe (56)said she had lived in the area for a longtime and was surprised to see the munici-

pality cleaning the area.Municipal spokesperson Kupido Baron

said that Thursday’s event had beenmeant only for the SABC broadcast.

“Last week’s opening of the museumwas only symbolic,” Baron said.

He added that according to mayor Jor-daan, the key was actually the unlockingof opportunities that would be presentedby the township and creative economieswhich would be created by the opening ofthe museum.

Baron said that during the time of re-building the museum, which has sincebeen vandalised and windows broken,consultation and planning would continuewith all the stakeholders, including shack-dwellers.

“Housing development was key amongthe residents of the area. The mayor didsay he wanted Singapi Street, where themuseum is located, for instance, to be de-veloped to attract investment as is the casewith Vilakazi Street in Soweto,” he said.

“People should not panic as they werepart of the developments forseen in the ar-ea,” he said.

THE Reverend Dr Simon Gqubule (88), thefirst African student to qualify for a PhDdegree at Rhodes University in 1973, wasburied last Thursday.

His funeral service was attended by hun-dreds of mourners including senior mem-bers of the church, government officialsand business leaders at the Uitenhage In-door Sports Centre.Flags flew at half-mast as President Jacob

Zuma had declared a special provincial fu-neral for the April recipient of the Orderof Luthuli Silver. Gqubule, a former SACouncil of Churches vice-secretary, re-ceived this honour for his role in the strug-gle for liberation and educationThose in attendance included Land Af-

fairs and Agrarian ReformMinister GugileNkwinti, Deputy Finance Minister McebisiJonas, Premier Phumulo Masualle, MECPemmy Majodina, mayor Danny Jordaan,speaker Maria Hermaans, Cosatu generalsecretary Zwelinzima Vavi and economistMoeletsi Mbeki, who is former presidentThabo Mbeki’s brother.ThaboMbeki was among those, including

Mahatma Ghandi’s granddaughter, whosent messages of deepest condolences asthey could not make it to what was referredto by almost all the speakers, includingGqubule’s son Duma, as a thanksgiving ser-vice for a loving and caring father, priest,

academic, educationist and administrator.Masualle said, “A gentle giant has fallen,

a true servant of the people is no more. TheRev. Dr Gqubule embodied values of hu-mility. He was a gallant fighter who foughtuntil the end.”Academics, some of whom he taught at

some point in his long and illustrious ca-reer, were in attendance, some in their aca-demic regalia. His career started at Heald-town and Fort Hare in Alice before hemoved to the Federal Theological Semi-nary in KwaZulu-Natal from 1961 to 1991.Gqubule’s contribution to education in-

cluded starting Ilitha Educational Enhance-ment, which helped Grade 10, 11 and 12 pu-pils from KwaNobuhle with their studies.He was lauded as a patriot and true ser-

vant of the people who loved the bettermentof society through education.Apart from being the 2014 Herald GMCiti-

zen of the Year Award winner, he receivedmany other awards, such as the NMMUPrestige Award (2012); Matthew Goniwe Ex-cellence Award (2015) and the Old RhodianAward from Rhodes University (2015).Gqubule is survived by children Duma,

Thandeka and Phumla and grandchildren.Hewas laid to rest at the Jubilee ParkCeme-tery.Methodist SA Bishop Zipho Siwa said in

his sermon that those left behind shouldask God to allow the selfless spirit of Gqu-bule to fall on them so that they could car-ry on with the work he had started.

THE South African National Blood Ser-vice (SANBS) commemorates World BloodDonor Day on June 14. This is an interna-tional day of recognition of blood donorsglobally. The theme for World Blood DonorDay this year is “Blood connects us all”.In the face of major communicable dis-

ease epidemics South Africa has main-tained a high degree of blood safety and areliable supply of blood countrywide.

This is largely because it follows key re-commendations of the World Health Orga-nization (WHO) on good blood serviceman-agement: reliance on unpaid voluntary do-nors, universal testing of donated blood,

and reduction of unnecessary transfu-sions.

SANBS is yielding positive results across these areas:•It is one of the 65 countries in the world that get

100 percent of their blood from voluntary donors whoare not remunerated. The WHO has a target that by2020 all countries will adopt this model.

•SANBS works closely with healthcare workerswho do transfusions at health facilities to heightenawarenessabout the correct useof blood thus reducingwastage of this precious resource.

•To keep blood safe SANBS tests every single unitof blood collected daily for pathogens that cause HIV,Hepatitis B and C and syphilis which are highly preva-lent in the country. South Africa is one of few middle-income countries that run nucleic acid amplification

testing (NAT) which detects the pathogens responsi-ble for these epidemics by significantly reducing thelength of the window period.

This is an investment that has givenmany accident victims, people sufferingfrom blood-related diseases andmothers inlabour, the opportunity to live healthylives.Today SANBS has over 400 000 donors on

its database and the number is growing.“SANBS is also getting younger aswe are

seeing the proportion of donations fromour youth increase. We have invested intaking a targeted approach to donor educa-tion and community support thatmoves be-

yond the need forblood as medicalresponse but also aunifying act of loveand care,” saidSANBS commu-nications man-ager, VanessaRaju.World Blood

Donor Day will be celebrated in Port Eliza-beth on June 11 at Baywest Mall, CentreCourt in association with Algoa FM.

VODACOM has partnered with Inqakuand the Motherwell Football Association(Mofa) to host a school football tourna-ment later this month.

This Vodacom NXT LVL tournament,hosted in Motherwell on June 17 and 18,will serve to promote school football in theregion.It will also pilot a new player-verifica-

tion and fan-communication system thatis aimed at eradicating age and identitycheating and encouraging community in-volvement and support.A total of 62 boys and girls teams from

31 schools are expected to compete in theevent.For the first time, players participating

in the tournament will be issued VodacomSIM cards. The SIM cards will act as digi-tal player ID cards, displaying player andtournament stats when a player enters thecompetition USSD string.Inqaku and Safa Digital are enrolling

more than 1 200 players, parents, coachesand referees in the competition system.The USSD service will be used in con-

junction with the existing Inqaku and Sa-fa Digital online registration and verifica-tion system.Family, friends and fans of the teams

will be able to track the tournament’s re-sults, logs, fixtures, and player statisticsthrough the same USSD service.“We use our mobile phones to organise

and manage our everyday lives. It was on-ly a matter of time before we would startusing them to facilitate football, cut outage cheating and build a new formalisedfootball communications platform,” saidCraig Rivett of Inqaku.“This will be the first time in South Afri-

ca that close to real-time match statisticswill be available on demand for a schooltournament.”According to Safa NECmember and Safa

Schools Football Committee head Mzim-khulu Fina, “If this tournament is suc-cessful we would like to replicate it in allnine Nelson Mandela Bay football zones,throughout the province and across SouthAfrica.”He added that “the goal is to continually

learn, improve the technology and buildup schools football”.The youth tournament coincides with

the recent announcement of Vodacom’sNXT LVL soccer talent initiative that willsee SA’s best 14 to 16-year-old footballplayers attending a football boot campwith Lucas Radebe, Mark Fish, andformer Banyana Banyana U17 captainShorty Dludlu.The top players will walk away with a

full scholarship to TUKS Sports HighSchool.“Vodacom has had a long history of em-

powering SouthAfricans through technol-ogy. As our youth demographic continuesto grow, it was very important for us tocreate an engaging platform that allowsyoung people to live their passion and re-alise their dreams through the discoveryand nurturing of different talents,” saidMzamo Masito, Vodacom brand director.“Young South Africans often dream of

making it in life and often it just remainsa dream, but through Vodacom NXT LVL,any aspiring soccer player – this includesfemale contenders too – has the chance tobe discovered and to take his or her talentand passion to greater heights.“We are looking for the next generation

of soccer greats and we encourage SouthAfrican youth to enter the Vodacom NXTLVL talent search,” Masito said.

I got my first born at 14

years and got married

twice with no kids, so I

had to give up both

marriages.

I spent 21 years

looking for another

child, desperate to fall pregnant again,

but allwas in vain.

I visited many doctors both medical

and traditional but there was no sign -

a lot of money was wasted & I nearly

lost hope till I met Healer Diba in

newspaper...

He promised to make ends meet for

me, he actually killed 3 birds with one

stone.

I am 40 years now, married again with

twins. Thanks dr Diba for the help I

received plus boosting our private

business.

NB: Healer Diba also solves court

cases, relationship problems, divorce

issues, lucky spells etc.Please call him or

on 071 718 9006

I would like to thank

healer DIBA for

s o l v i n g m y

financial, marriage,

work, business and

family problems,

I've suffered for

over 5 years. I had a bad financial record

and been struggling to pay my car and

other accounts, putting food on the table a

nightmare-sometimes if I get my salary, it

went through my hands and I sit with

nothing. My marriage fell apart, we fought

all the time at home,and my elder son was

on drugs. I was totally confused and

depressed. Luckily, one day my friend

from work told me about the powerful

(healer DIBA) then I called him the next

day for help and advice. Diba took my

name, age and gave me the super magic

flower for luck. Now my family is very

happy and we live in great harmony, my

son also stopped using drugs. Thank you

very much Healer DIBA.

IT was a do-or-die game when the two topguns in the Zwide Football Association(ZWIFA) Ntando Tours and Transport Pre-mier League – Zwide Pirates and GoldenAces – took each other on in a game thatended in a 1-1 draw at Zwide Stadium onSunday.

Pirates came to the came licking theirwounds after Real Crusaders beat them 2-1a week ago. Despite losing their first leaguegame, Pirates wanted to cement their posi-tion on top of the log table while Aces cameto beat their opponents in order to be on topof the league table.Both sides have 28 league points after

playing 12 games, but the Buccaneers hada better goal difference.The action of the game was from one end

to the other of the field. Aces’ star wingAphiwe Solomonhad a clear-cut chance butBuccaneers goalkeeper Thulani Lizanipulled a brave save in the 10th minute.Pirates struck back when Thembinkosi

Jim sent a rocket that was saved by Acesgoal stopper Mzwamampondomise Gobodoin the 13th minute.

Aces launched an attack with their skip-per Tebogo Kukama, Mcebisi Mdwayi andSolomon taking charge of the midfield. Sol-omon sent a perfect square to their strikerSimbarashe Manuere who scored Aces’goal in the 30th minute.The Piratesmidfielders looked disjointed

as they changed their style of playing toplaying long balls. Aces led 1-0 for the entire45 minutes.

Pirates introduced Lucky Pase into thefray for Vusumzi Kiviet PiratesmidfieldersLuzuko Slip, Xolani Matsau Quntu andWandisile Sikelelawho read each other likean open book.

Aces goalkeeper Gobodo sustained an in-jury to his right leg and was replaced byThando Barthez Mthimkhulu.Sikelela’s powerful shot was blocked by

Mthimkhulu to Sinalo Catazo who scoreda long-awaited goal for Pirates in the 83rdminute. Pase failed to take his side to hon-ours following a brilliant save by Mthim-khulu in the 85th minute.Mxolisi Losta Loli who replacedManuere

had a solo run down the right flank and hiseffort went wide with Lizani covering hispost. As things stand Pirates and Aces have29 league points with the former still lead-

ing the pack because of their goal differ-ence.

SEVEN South African boxers aregoing to Azerbaijan capital Bakufor the Rio Olympic Games 2016qualifiers.

The Baku qualifiers will featureboxers from all over the worldwho are hoping to represent theircountries in the Olympics in Bra-zil.The South African team of box-

ers going to Baku are Akani Puzi(91kg) from Limpopo; AyabongaSonjica (56kg) from the EC; Lu-vuyo Sizani (81kg) from the EC;Sikho Nqothole (52kg) from theEC; Sibusiso Bandla (48kg) fromthe EC; Asanda Gingqi (60kg)from the EC and Sibusiso Malinga(64kg) from KZN. The coach isNkosinathi Hlwatshwayo of KZN.“This is a make-or-break for the

South African team, which we re-gard as the hidden treasure ofopen (amateur) boxing in thiscountry,” South African NationalAmateur Boxing Organisation(Sanabo) president Andile Mofusaid.

“When we were planning in2014, we told these boxers that thetarget was to win the All-AfricaChampionships, go to the Com-monwealth Games in Moroccoand lastly to Baku in order to beconsidered for the Olympics, andso far they have done everythingaccordingly.”South Africa has never won any

Olympic boxing medal since itsreturn to international competi-tions.Mofu said he was certain, how-

ever, that Sanabo was not onlytaking a strong team to Baku, butthe team was ready to competeagainst the best in the world andcontinue to represent South Afri-ca in Rio.And, the boxers it seems, knew

exactly what the doctor required.“I held my studies in abeyance

in order to focus on boxing. Themain aim is to go to the Olympicsand bring back a gold medal,”said Mthatha’s Sikho Nqothole,who is in Grade 12 at Luzuko HighSchool.He said he was looking forward

to the trip to Baku as it was the

only thing standing in the way ofhis “ultimate dream” of bringinga gold medal to South Africa.“The two things on my mind

when I started boxing in 2003were to win an Olympic medaland to turn professional. We havehad good physical andmental pre-paredness for the competitionsthat we participated in since 2014.All we can say now is, Baku herewe come.”An upbeat Mofu said, “This is

the team that is surely going tobring more than one medal backto South Africa.”
