By then it’s too late and we have not fulfilled our duty as responsible citizens to protect the in- nocent and vulnerable, says Dr Maphai. “SAB wants to be part of the solution by not only addressing the symptoms of the problem but by tar- geting its source. Empowering these men with the necessary information to become ambassadors of change will mean a better life for their families and entire communities.” Over the next five years, SAB hopes to reach at least 4000 men across South Africa.

The Boardwalk gave R10 000,Schaeffler SA donated R10 000worth of school clothing and shoesand the Property Group Uitenhage/Despatch also contributed uni-forms and school shoes.
This brings the donations re-ceived so far to almost R65 000 incash bringing them nearer to the

Nelson Mandela Bay ExecutiveMayor Zanoxolo Wayile togetherwith business leaders have in thepast two Saturdays begged withbare feet for school shoes and uni-forms at shopping centres.
Ms Bongi Siwisa, Chairperson ofEmfuleni Resorts, said the uniformdrive is a very important initiativeby the Executive Mayor.
“I believe that the campaign be-ing run by the Local Government isthe right platform to spearheadsomething of this nature, and as po-
litical leaders they must be seen asthe drivers of such initiatives in thecommunities. It also restores publicconfidence in government.
“Having the proper school attirealso fits in with discipline, and it isabout creating an identity for thatlearner. We want to be able to makea difference and allow children whodon’t have a school uniform orshoes the opportunity to fit in andbe happy,” Siwisa added.
Ms Charmaine Potgieter, theRainbow Nation Club Outreach Co-ordinator of Schaeffler SA, said: “Itis always wonderful to be part ofsuch initiatives that empowers theunderprivileged.Weareproud tobe
a part of any upliftment in the com-munity.”
The Schaeffler SA group adoptedKwazakhele High School and start-ed with upgrades at the school.
Executive Mayor Zanoxolo Way-ile, who himself had to walk bare-foot for 20 kilometres to school dai-ly, said that nothing can be as nobleas to pledge human solidarity andto reach out to the most destitutesection of our people.
“I want to thank my energeticstaff within the institution, as wellas the entire Education Task Team,for their hard work and dedication.Without a team effort and passionthis project would not have been
this fruitful.“I thank the general public and
companies who have contributed;youareall ambassadors of this cam-paign.
“This campaign has managed tounite people from all sectors of soci-ety, and crossed the barrier lines ofrace, culture and political prefer-ence.
“The Nelson Mandela Bay Mu-nicipality is setting a trend bothprovincially and nationally, bystarting an initiative of this type.We are encouraging all spheres ofgovernment to unite and dedicatetheir commitment to education,”Mayor Wayile said.

MEC for Rural Development andAgrarian Reform Zoleka Capa paidJJR Jolobe High School in Mother-well, Port Elizabeth a visit last weekWednesday as part of her bid to re-vive agriculture in schools.
The school, which is situated in avery impoverished area, is one ofeight schools in the province that theMEC has adopted in her capacity asthe Member of Parliament Legisla-ture (MPL).
In the presence of Members of thePortfolio Committee, Nelson Mande-la Bay Deputy mayor Nancy Sihl-wayi, Council Speaker Maria Her-mans, Mayoral Com-mittee memberChippa Ngcolomba,representatives fromthe Department of Ed-ucation, principalWel-come Baskiti, mem-bers of the School Gov-erning Body (SGB)parents and membersof the community, theMEC donated wheel-barrows, spades,rakes, water tanks,hoes, watering cans aswell as seeds and seed-lings to the school.
“My Department isthe department offood. We want to en-sure that with theseimplements, you gar-den and produce foodso that therewill neverbe hunger again in thiscommunity,” saidMEC Capa.
Capa promised to of-fer the school her sup-port and guidance to
ensure that it succeeds.She added that her ultimate aim,
working with the Department of Ed-ucation and the municipality, was tosee schools becoming part of theschool nutrition programme andthat agricultural science becomesone of the careers of choice.
“Young people are no longer inter-ested in agriculture. This is a worry-ing factor. Not all education is in theclassroom. We want to make surethat the school produces its own food,and has its own mini-bakery to nour-ish the bodies, for education cannotcontinue on empty stomachs,” saidMEC Capa, urging the school to en-sure that agriculture is included inits curriculum.
A Learnership Programme aimeda teaching learners about agricul-ture, will soon be started at theschool to benefit 15 matric studentsfrom the area.
Deputy mayor Nancy Sihlwayiurged the school management andthe SGB to look well after the garden-ing implements and use them to en-sure there is food to feed learners ofthe school and its community.
“We are so happy. This is like a re-birth. We want to promise the MEC,the Department of Education and theMunicipality that we’ll do our best tohave food production working. Andwith this support, our results willsurely improve,” said an overjoyedschool principal Welcome Baskiti.

This young star whose other pastime is foot-
ball, comes as the only artist to feature his fa-ther Nceba and little sister Zipho in his album.
According to his mother, NosithembeleDladla, Azi grew up as a bubbly little boy wholiked attention. Coming from a family that
sang together at every opportunity duringdaily prayers or on the way to and from
church, Azi discovered his love for poetryand Hip Hop when he was 10 but startedscribbling songs at the age of 13 years.
“There is a star in each and everyone of us. This album is my time
to shine,” said Azi who wassigned by Koloni Musik. Headded that he would like otheraspiring young musicians toknow that “Music and schoolgo together. It can be done!” hesaid.
The single of his 10-track al-bum, recorded at Zonke Bonke
Studios in Motherwell, is out andalready people are talking aboutthis lyricist par excellence who
writes songs like a seasoned pro-fessional.
The music also features the cre-ative genius of producers Zonke Bunu andBulelani Gxavu.

SOUTH AFRICAN women aremaking waves as active partici-pants in boxing, not only as box-ers, but also as trainers, manag-ers, promoters and ring officialssince the advent of democracy.
Women’s involvement in the box-ing ring was officially legalised inthis country in 2001 and only in 2005women boxers turned professional.
But one person who has seen it allis Boxing South Africa (BSA) ring of-ficial Nonelwa Fukutwa (43) of Kwa-Zakhele in Port Elizabeth. To date,Fukutwa, aka Noni, prides herself onhaving officiated in three SA titlefights and an equal number of inter-national fights featuring female con-testants. This includes about a hun-dred non-title fights in major and de-
velopment boxing tournaments.Noni was nominated for BSA’s
Ring Official of the Year Award in2010. “I did not win but felt good forbeing recognised,” she said proudly.
Noni’s interest inboxing started inthe late 1990s when her brotherXolisani Fukutwa was a useful pro-fessional flyweight boxer.
“I attended every single one of hisfights and ended up loving the sport.So I would go to fights even if he wasnot fighting. In 1997 I approached thethen EP Boxing Commission for ajudge’s licence and I was refused be-cause I am a woman,” reminiscedNoni who works as an Assopol ClientService Administrator.
Noni never quit until she got heropportunity to officiate in fights withother women of South Africa. Hertwo daughters Thabisa (22) andXolelwa (18) have also joined thesport as round-girls.

Good Samaritan rescues rugby teamSELBY MADIKANE
IT was all smiles on the faces of themanagement and players of BontleTigers Ladies Rugby Football Clubwhen a good samaritan lent hishelpful hand to them on 27 January.
Mike Ndube of Ndube Projectsmade a generous donation in theform of T-shirts. Ndube said the mo-tive behind sponsoring the WalmerTownship girls was to contribute to-
wards women’s empowerment andto appreciate the role made by Ti-gers’ management.
“We want to add value to the com-munity by uplifting the standard ofour communities through sport. Infact, sport has the potential to buildand unite the nation. NdubeProjects might even adopt this clubin future as we are overwhelmed bythe way in which this club takes thegame of rugby to new heights,” saidNdube.
The visibly excited Bontle Tigerspresident Nomathemba Gumthanked Ndube and his companyfor the donation.
“I did not expect that someonemight do us so proud like Ndube didbecause our club is still in its infan-cy stage. I am very happy and thisis surely going to boost the moraleof our players. We are not going tolet Mr Ndube down. What they havedone for us, will never be forgot-ten,” said Nomathemba.
