EKASI+ introduces a brand-newsitcom, Songololo, a groundbreak-ing production exclusively pro-duced in Port Elizabeth.

Songololo is based on the story of two broth-ers who come up with elaborate schemes inorder to fulfil a promise they made to theirgrandfather: to become millionaires. The 13-part series starts on Wednesday, October 15at 9pm on eKasi+, Channel 105 on OpenViewHD.

The sitcom features an all-new cast andcrew from The Media Workshop, a Seta-ac-credited film and television production train-ing provider based in the Eastern Cape. Theproductionwas entirelywritten, directed andproduced by a core unit of five students underthe mentorship of experienced director, Dav-id Lister. The long term plan is to solicit

enough funds to turn the sitcom into a sus-tainable on-going television show.

Songololo is an isiXhosa word for a milli-pede with strong exterior armour which rollsinto a ball if alarmed – a metaphor for thecharacters in the series.

The sitcom is set in a double-storey com-mune house in Port Elizabeth occupied by anodd assortment of people fromdifferent races.

It is these people that brothers, Ashwell andJermaine Boontjies, collaborate and alsoclash with in their attempt to becomewealthy.

Their overly-optimistic side-kick and ec-centric herbalist Mthunzi, their nemesis,Goodman and Oom Kosie, the landlord, allplay crucial supporting roles.

The dialogue is predominantly in English,Afrikaans and isiXhosa.

.Catch the premiere of Songololo onWednesday, October 15 at 9pm on eKasi+,channel 105 on OpenView HD.

THE house that Uncedo Soup KitchenProject’s women used as a storage facility hasbeen broken into twice already, but the set-back won’t dissuade them from doing whatGod had called them to do - to feed the hungryin the poverty-stricken area in Kwazakhele.

Their question is only, how?Eight unemployed women and mainly gog-

os discovered with sadness the news of thebreak-in where they cooked soup and food forthe sick, unemployed and hungry residents atBefile Street, next to the clinic.

The group’s Secretary Nontobeko Songwiqiwas informed by neighbours of a broken win-dow on Sunday morning.

She rushed to the house, saw the damageand called other group members who, like herlived not very far from the house.

They were distraught that nobody saw orheard anything during the break-in.

“R1 300 worth of groceries including kitch-en utensils, pots, stoves and chairs were sto-

len during the burglary of the house on Sat-urday evening,” said Mama NontuthuzeloSineli, the Project’s Chairperson.

According to Mama Sineli, it was not thefirst time that their project was visited bythieves in less than a year.

“This happened also last year. Although wefound the suspect with the loot and handedhim over to the police. We were not satisfied.He spent two days in jail and was soon seenwalking the streets. We don’t know what hap-pened as nobody told us anything,” said Sine-li.

She added that this break-in had effectivelyrobbed about 200 people who daily take hotsoup and bread before they take medicationat the clinic.

This number included elderly members ofthe impoverished community.

About 300 more people including schoolchildren eat lunch with the gogos and enjoythe Ostrich egg sponsored by Operation Hun-ger every Wednesday.

“How are we going to feed the hungrynow?” Sineli asked.

NELSON Mandela Bay residents have takeninterest in their social development. Thisbecame evident during the Mayoral Out-reach Programme that took place in the met-ro municipality during the last week of Sep-tember.

In this last week of September the Execu-tive mayor Cllr Benson Fihla and somemembers of his Mayoral Committee con-ducted community imbizos in the form ofMasithethisane (Let’s talk) Programmewhich had residents talking.

Local community halls were abuzz andthat was pleasing to the metro municipality,according to municipal spokesperson Mthu-banzi Mniki.

He said, “As South Africa continues to cel-ebrate 20 years of freedom and democracy,it is becoming more important for govern-ment to quickly identify challenges, come upwith interventions and work with more vig-our and commitment to change peoples’

lives for the better.”This was a resounding success, according

to Mniki. As the intention of the programmewas to create a platform for local communi-ties to raise issues that needed governmentattention, he said, issues raised showed thatthere was indeed a need for such an engage-ment.

“We were encouraged. People showed in-terest,” the municipal spokesperson told PEExpress Indaba.

“In the main,” Mniki said, “residentsspoke of the need for housing. There weregenerally service delivery issues where wa-ter and sanitation, sewerage and otherscame up. Of critical importance though, wasa call for job opportunities especially fromthe side of young people.”

Residents, according to Mniki, raised theissues freely. They enjoyed the platform.

“We hope they show the same interest inlooking after the services well when theywere delivered. We hope our residents won’tvandalise the water taps and other ameni-ties when we deliver them,” said Mniki.

CHRISTMAS in the Home proved thathome is where the heart is, when repre-sentatives handed over a cheque for R5 000to the Sisonke Community Centre inZwide recently.

Port Elizabeth’s annual gift and craftfair raised the money by selling shoppingbags, generously sponsored by Makro,during its 2013 edition.

According to event coordinator, ElsjeSmuts, the charity was chosen because itperformed a vital service as a feedingscheme for poverty-stricken families inthe Zwide, Soweto-on-Sea and Veeplaas ar-eas.She said the funds would be used tohelp establish a community food garden tosupplement the needs of the soup kitchen.

Smuts said it was Christmas in theHome’s philosophy that, amid the excite-ment and generosity of the festive season,the less fortunate should never be forgot-ten.

“We are so grateful for what we have andbelieve that we should give to those who

have less. For me, using Christmas in theHome as a platform to promote causesclose to our hearts is a natural and logicalstep.”

Last year, a number of non-profit organi-sations received sponsored stands atwhich to sell their wares and build aware-ness for their cause, she said.

These included children’s charitiesReach for a Dream and SOS Children’s Vil-lage, as well as The Hope Factory and Kwa-sa Project, which aim to assist previouslydisadvantaged entrepreneurs and gener-ate income-earning opportunities for HIV-positive people respectively.

The Kwasa Project and Lake Farm CareCentre have confirmed their participationahead of the 2014 event.

THE Department of Economic Development,Environmental Affairs and Tourism (DE-DEAT) held their Provincial EnvironmentalAwards Competition at the SummerstrandHotel in Port Elizabeth recently.

Tipping district Primary and High Schoolwinners on the themes, “The role of indige-nous knowledge in sustainable natural re-source management” and “The possibilitiesassociated with Shale Gas extraction in theEastern Cape” respectively, the competitionshowed just how aware today’s generation isof the importance of nature conservation.

Primary school children acted, sang and

recited poetry on the importance of natureconservation “for us and future genera-tions.”

The competition carried huge financial re-wards for the winners.

Through the awards which start at districtlevel, the provincial government was hopingto inculcate in the children the culture of ap-preciating the environment as they wereplaying and learning from it, and also to ap-preciate that there are economic benefitsthat are derived from it, said DEDEAT MECHonourable Sakhumzi Somyo.

He said this was important to do whilstchildren were still very young.

According to the old isiXhosa adage, “Ba-gotywa bebatsha”, said MEC Somyo, adding

that his department wanted to inculcate inthe youth the culture of appreciating the en-vironment as theywere playing and learningfrom it.

“I have appreciated with excitement howthey have captured the indigenous basis ofknowledge and integrated thatwith their un-derstanding of government’s efforts of pre-serving nature and the environment throughlegislation, among other things,” the MECtold PE Express Indaba.

According to Somyo, our environment isthe treasure that must be preserved at alltimes. Theremust be innovation for econom-ic development.

“The learners captured that in the competi-tion,” said MEC Somyo, adding however,

that whilst the stage was set for competitionamong learners, it also laid a foundation forthe elders and leaders to learn from the child-ren.

He said hewas happy learners could appre-ciate that there were economic benefits thatwere derived from the environment.

The MEC spoke about the discovery ofShale Gas in Graaff-Reinet in the Karoo re-gion as an important development for thepeople of the province, adding that there wasa dialectical link between environmentalconservation and the developmental side ofthe local economy.

According to Somyo, preservation of ShaleGas was necessary to protect the environ-ment for sustainable livelihood.

ABOOK chronicling the heroes and heroinesof politics, education, visual arts, communitydevelopment, sport and business in the NewBrighton and Korsten area during the apart-heid years was launched at the City Hall inPort Elizabeth recently.

According to Nelson Mandela Bay Sports,Recreation, Arts and Culture (SRAC) Execu-tiveDirector,NoxoloNqwazi, the bookwhichincludes men and women, aptly referred toasMovers and Shakers whowere involved inmedicine, journalism and religion, includingclerics, describes how they selflessly usedtheir time and resources, to plant the seedthat would ultimately grow to become thetree that today’s and future generationswould benefit from.

The book took time to complete, accordingto Stan Mosia who compered at the event. Ithad to be launched duringHeritageMonth aspart of the history that must be preserved forfuture generations.

“We thank Mike Phantsi for coming upwith the idea of establishing the wall of re-membrance for these our heroes and hero-ines as early as 1998 for the benefit of our chil-dren and tourists,” said author and musiccomposer Mbulelo Nzo, who was honouredfor his contribution in literature.

Through this initiative, which was startedat New Brighton library, the profiles of lumi-naries like Dr John Kani, Dr Winston Ntsho-na, NomsaNkonyeni and Looks Matoto (Per-

formingArts),MthunziMapitiza (Sport), Rev-erends Mthetheleli De Villiers Soga, JamesHaya and Themba Mahuwa (Religion), Lum-ka Menze and Mzi Mahola (Literature) werehighlighted.

The Korsten Library followed suit to in-clude such big names as Tennyson Mackay,(sport) Ma Lilian Diedericks (politics) Joyce

Millicent Smith (medicine) and Winston Pe-terson (Performing Arts) among others.

According toNzo, the committeewas awarethat a list of sports and political activism inNelson Mandela Bay would include manypeople and would take a lot more time to com-plete. While this work was not easy either, hesaid, they had to start somewhere. He added

that itwas now incumbent on the present gen-eration to continue with the work of nationbuilding.

“Some of thee people were recognised inother cities, provinces and internationalcountries without any respect shown athome. This is indeed a good story to tell,” saidNqwazi.

NELSON Mandela Bay Professional SoccerLeague (PSL) outfit Chippa United will visitPlatinumStars at the Royal Bafokeng Stadi-um this Saturday October 4 as the home-side will be attempting to defend their Tel-kom Knock Out Cup Championship.

The Chilli Boys as United is known, is onsong under caretaker coach Roger Sikha-khanewho took the reigns after the resigna-tion recently of head coach Kostadin Papic.At this rate, Sikhakane could be making

the position his own, as new recruit MitchD’ Avary was set solely to look after theclub’s development fortunes.The Chilli Boys gave the Soweto giants

Orlando Pirates a 1-0 beating at the NelsonMandela Bay stadium last Saturday, Sep-tember 27 and would like to continue fromwhere they have left off.Away from home, the Chilli Boys will be

trying to repeat the fate they offered to Dik-wena (Platinum Stars) on their openingmatch of the season in the elite Absa Pre-mier league.To date, Chippa Mpengesi’s boys are sit-

ting at 10 points in seven matches aftersnatching victories against Dikwena, Mo-roka Swallows and Amabhakabhaka (Or-lando Pirates) and drawing against AjaxCape Town.“These boys are playing together as a

team. I think they are going to make it diffi-cult for other teams to beat them at home.They are making Nelson Mandela Bay sta-dium the slaughter house,” said formerKaizer Chiefs marksman Patrick Mayo ear-lier.Mayo, now an SABCUmhloboWenene soc-

cer analyst believes the win against Pirateswas proving his point. Mayo does not be-lieve, however, that the Chilli Boys cannotkeep the momentum against PlatinumStars, even away from home.
