Thanda (31) of KwaZakhele gave birth to a premature baby through a caesarian section at Dora Nginza Hospital two weeks ago. But she dis- appeared while the nurses were treating the premature baby at the BG3 Antenatal Ward. Before that, Notemba allegedly stole money and other valuables from unsuspecting nursing sisters. “She came across as someone who was experiencing problems and we fell for her lies and became sympa- thetic,” said Sr Nokuzola Lawu. Nothemba told them she was raped by a stranger whilst pregnant with her boyfriend’s child. According to Lawu, Nothemba was very convincing when telling the nurses that her boyfriend and the father of her newborn baby had committed suicide. “We became so close to her. We even thought she was suicidal and gave in to her demands,” said Sr Lawu, adding that Nothemba first asked for money to go and bury her boyfriend. Sr Khanyiswa Magidimi- si gave her R500. She even went to the nurses’ houses, wore their clothes, slept and used their cell- phones “as she was trying to sort out her problems”. The other victim was Sr Nom- bulelo Fongqo. “She’s a manipulative liar with a sweet tongue. She abused their gen- erosity,” said Senior Social Worker Pamela Rubushe. Rubushe is the on- ly one Nothemba could not con, she told PE Express Indaba. “She came to me asking for money because the father of her child had KwaZakhele mother sought for child abandonment and fraud died. But when I phoned her mother I heard that she was lying. There was no dead boyfriend,” said Ru- bushe. Before her disappearing act, Nothemba smsed the nurses pre- tending to be her mother.

BOXING history was made whenNelson Mandela Bay Boxing SouthAfrica (BSA) officials went to super-vise a professional boxing tourna-ment in Oudtshoorn in the WesternCape at the weekend.
In the fight, Wiseman Kega fromGeorge became the Western CapeJunior bantamweight champion af-ter stopping Unathi Mndwana ofPlettenbergBay in the seventh roundof their 10-round scheduled fight.
“There was a problem in the West-ern Cape and we were asked by BSAto save the situation,” said BSA Nel-son Mandela Bay Service ProviderMthunzi Mapitiza.
BSA Western Cape Service Provid-er Mickey Klaas had a bereavementas his sister had died and was buriedin East London on Saturday. His offi-cials had to run a major tournamentwith international titles at stake inCape Town on the same day, accord-ing to Mapitiza.
Mapitiza, together with ring offi-
cials, Ace Makaluza, Prince Mbam-baza, Stephen Simon, Lizo Jordaan,Nkosinathi Zamela and PE ExpressIndaba’s Nceba Dladla (The Masterof Ceremonies) helped SWD Develop-ment Boxing Promotions of Bongo-lethu Township successfully run itsdebut tournament. The tournamentwas sponsored by the Eden munici-pality in Oudtshoorn.
“Mickey (Klaas) could not be inany of the tournaments. There wasno way we (as BSA) on the other handcould let a debutante boxing promot-er lose out - it was also the first pro-fessional fight in the area. Fanswant-ed it. There was a lot at stake in theCape Town fight too - it had to go onso we went out of our way to assist,”said Mapitiza proudly.
But Mapitiza was quick to add: “Ofcourse BSA licensees are free to oper-ate anywhere in the country. It is on-ly regional managers or the so-calledservice providers that operate in re-gions andprovinces.Butwhere thereis an overlap, someone must go outand help - so we did and it was a re-sounding success,” said Mapitiza.
