Guilt and tears in court

ongani Paulos (25) of Aliwal North who has been found
guilty of the murder of the Anglican priest Clive Newman tearfully apologised to the reverend’s family this
week. He told the family it was not his intention to kill Newman and that he “regrets going to Grahamstown on that day.”
Paulos made his first appearance in the Grahamstown Magistrate’s Court on Monday where the trial was pushed forward to
the city’s High Court. On Tuesday, Paulos pleaded guilty to the
murder of Newman and theft of his possessions, including his
car. The Honourable Judge Clive Plasket found him guilty on
both charges.
The 45 year-old reverend and lecturer was clubbed to death
in his room at the Anglican College of the Transfiguration on
the weekend of 7 November. The cause of death, as stated in
the post mortem report, was said to be blunt force with lacerations to the scalp and brain as well as skull fractures. In his plea,
Paulos said he was hitchhiking to Aliwal North from Cape Town
seeking employment. He said Newman had picked him up in
Colchester and driven to Grahamstown, explaining to him that
he would be able to hitchhike to Aliwal North via Queenstown.
They arrived in Grahamstown late in the day and Newman offered Paulos food and a place to stay. He accepted the offer as
he said he “was hungry and had no place to stay”. Newman then
explained that “he only had one bed but that he does not mind
to share it with me.” Paulos then described how Newman made
sexual advances towards him several times throughout the night
but “I stopped him every time. I felt repulsed, but I had nowhere
to go”.
The following morning, Newman took Paulos out of town
and dropped him on the road to Fort Beaufort. However, when
he failed to get a lift, he returned to Newman’s house. When
asked by Malherbe Marais, the Deputy Director of Public Prosecutions why he went back to Newman’s place, he said that at
the time he did not know anyone else in Grahamstown. He also
told the court that he thought the situation would change as
Newman had been acting “different and friendly at the hiking
spot so I thought he wouldn’t do the same things again.”
He went on to relate that: “As we got into bed, he again took
off his underwear. He started to touch my buttocks again, I
pushed him back, he told me to relax. He then moved closer to
me in the bed once more... I jumped up and sat on the side of the
bed... and I said I don’t like a man to touch me like that.”
The following morning, Newman asked Paulos to massage
his shoulders to which he agreed. Then Newman asked him to
massage “lower down his back”. Paulos said he got very angry
when he realised where this was leading to and “went to fetch
a knopkierie... and I hit him over the head”. He then wiped the

kierie and left it inside a cupboard in the room. He took the keys
to Newman’s Hyundai Tucson, a laptop with an external hard
drive, a cellphone, some cash, binoculars and a box of wine
and left. Paulos was arrested in Vanderbijl Park in Vereeniging
three weeks after the incident. Newman’s family broke down in
court as Paulos – with his head in his hands – gave details of the
events that led up to the murder. Paulos was represented by attorney Alan de Jager from the Grahamstown Legal Aid branch.
Meanwhile, Newman had previously attacked been by

a gay couple in his car in Bluewater Bay 18 years ago. His
throat was slit and one of his vocal chords was severed, impairing his speech. His testimony helped convict Antonie
Wessels (31) and 16-year-old Jean Havenga who were responsible for killings across the country. He was the pair’s
fourth and final victim and was the only one who survived. Newman was a businessman in Port Elizabeth at
the time.

Guilt and tears
in court
From Page One
When the articulate and multilingual Paulos was
asked about his family, he sobbed, telling the court how
he and his younger brother were sent to a foster home
because his mother was working in Johannesburg. He
passed matric in 2002 at Amasango Career School in Aliwal North and went on to do Business Studies for two years
at Ikhala Further Education Training College. His mother
passed away in December 2002 and he said he had never
met his father. Paulos is married with two daughters, who
are five and two years old. De Jager described the incident as having a “great similarity with spousal abuse that
lead to the death of one partner where the person goes
back to the same bedroom, for the same abuse until they
snap.” Marais said it is a “rare case where the accused
appears in the district court and asks to be transferred
to the High Court on his first appearance”.
De Jager argued that pleading guilty and “the fact
that he is a first offender and that he took full responsibility for the incident makes him an excellent candidate for
rehabilitation.”
Marais said the accused “professes remorse but
it took a trial to extract it” and that there is no evidence that he pleaded guilty to make a “clean breast
of it.” De Jager said the case had been presented
in such a way that the court would find that “substantial and compelling circumstances... justifies a
lesser sentence”. Marais said he expects a sentence
in the range of 15 years. Sentencing will be handed
down in the Grahamstown High Court on Monday,
7 December at 10am.
Police to crack down on wayward
drinking establishments
KWANELE BUTANA
GRAHAMSTOWN police did not
know that the by-laws regulating liquor trading hours had been passed
and therefore have not been preventing establishments from selling
alcohol around the clock.
This was revealed during the
municipal council’s social services
portfolio committee meeting this
week when the committee considered minutes of the newly established Liqour Control Consultative
Forum. The forum, which is made
up of representatives from the police, the municipality and the Liquor
Board was formed after the board
called a meeting with the different
role players last month. The purpose
of the meeting was to find a solution to the problems of zoning and
noise in liquor pubs, taverns and
restaurants.
According to the minutes of the
meeting, the police explained to the
forum that they were not aware that
the Liquor Trading hours by-law had
been passed by the council. “Superintendent Frank de Vis promised the
forum that they will look into that
as they were not aware that the bylaws were gazetted yet,” reads the
minutes.
Since the change in the Eastern Cape Liquor Act a few years
EMERGENCY NUMBERS
Ambulance:............................ 10177
ago, the board had been experiencing problems with granting liqour
licenses. Communities started to
complain to the board about taverns
opening in their areas without their
knowledge. The other complaint was
that some establishments operate
without adhering to the stipulated
requirements.
The liquor act compels the councillor of the ward in which a license
applicant wishes to trade to hold a
meeting with the affected residents
and furnish its minutes and attendance register to the board. However,
the board’s senior inspector Nceba
Ntelwa admitted that the councillors were not calling such meetings.
De Vis accused the Liquor Board of
delaying the appointments of police
liquor inspectors and argued that
the inspectors would be effective
once they are appointed. Ntelwa said
he was busy with the process and
promised that it would not take long
before he finalised it.
Makana Environmental Health
and Cleansing manager Johan Esterhuizen explained that the Prevention of Public Nuisance by-law prohibits residents from playing music
outside premises. He also suggested
that the police should take action
against the people who break this
by-law.
“The [forum] members agreed
that they must target a certain area
to check compliance within this 14
day period,” reads the minutes. “It
was decided that the inspections
will commence in Extension 6 and
then Extension 4.”
The portfolio committee resolved that the councillor of the ward
in which a license applicant would
like to trade would be invited to the
forum’s meeting where all the different departments in the municipality would provide the necessary
information to the forum so that the
Liquor Board can make informed decisions when issuing liqour licenses.

BRUTAL... Mandla Thomas (23) and
Melikhaya Ncaphayi (27)
appeared in the Grahamstown High
Court on Tuesday in connection
with the murder of a Somali family
in Queenstown last year. Sahra
Omar Farah (46) and her children, Mohamed Isse Osman (19)
Ibrahim Isse Osman (14) and their
younger sister Asha Isse Osman
(12) were killed three weeks after
emigrating from Somalia to set
up a spaza shop in Tambo village
outside Queenstown. They were
found lying in a pool of blood when
the children went to their shop to
buy bread. They sustained multiple
wounds with Sahra receiving 113
wounds. In the indictment it was
stated that Thomas, Ncaphayi and
another person “acted in concert and with a common purpose
when they robbed and killed the
deceased”. The trial has been postponed to 15 February next year.

OFFICIAL PUBLIC STATEMENT
ON WATER INTERRUPTIONS AT
GRAHAMSTOWN WEST
It is with regret to advise that the Municipality has again experienced
water interruptions affecting a number of areas in Grahamstown
West and East. This is as a result of a pipe burst near Worcester
Street on Tuesday evening, the 1st of December 2009.
A 300mm bulk line supplying the Western areas burst due to immense pressure demand on it. This resulted in closing the water
valves supplying the water to an Intermediate Reservoir which

thanked the District Department of Education for being
very helpful and organised
this year. she hopes that her
students, some of whom were
writing their matric exams for
the second time, will do very
well. osipho Qwazi, a grade 12
learner from nombulelo High
school said that she found the
first Maths paper was difficult
but that everything else went
smoothly. she especially enjoyed the language exams and
hopes to study It next year.
“some of the questions in
the exams were too vague,”
said Hannah Kirkaldy, a matric learner from Victoria girls'
High school “but generally
the exams were not too bad.”
she also said the fact that the
results come out only next
year is a little annoying. “It is
frustrating because to plan for
next year we obviously need
our results,” she said.
ntlokwana also said it
would be less stressful to have
the results this year rather
than next year. “this slows
down our applications to tertiary institutions,” she said.
the 2009 matric results
will be released on 7 January
2010 to allow time to verify
and check all the results before they are released.

wind-damaged houses
Kwanele Butana
strong winds in october
which left nine houses without
roofs and uprooted trees have
cost the municipality more
than r4 700 worth of damage.
this was revealed in a
damage report tabled in front
of the Makana council's social
services portfolio committee
this week. on 26 october a
powerful wind blew roofs off
houses and nine households
were affected.
According to Makana fire
chief William Welkom, three
families whose houses had
collapsed completely were
relocated to their relatives'
houses. the fire services department issued the households with plastic sheeting
(known as course sheets) to
keep the damp out. the 10
rolls of damp course sheeting was ordered from the municipality's stores department
and cost the municipality a
total of r4 746.10.
the houses which were affected are situated mainly in
townships such as Extensions
6 and 8, with three shacks being affected.
“several complaints of
power outages and broken
electrical cables were also received by the control room,”
Welkom reported to the committee. “these complaints
were reported to the electricity
department and Eskom,” he
said, adding that three uprooted trees also fell onto the roads.
Welkom said the Cacadu
District Disaster Centre was
notified about the overall
damage. "Blankets and food
parcels were issued to the affected families whose structures have collapsed," he reported.
He told Grocott's Mail that
the technical services department is assessing the actual
monetary value of the damage
inflicted on the houses.
“the technical services
section is liaising with the
housing department for incidents where the houses were
completely demolished,” he
concluded.

YOUR SAY
What is art and what role does it play in our lives?
While artists enjoy creating beautiful artworks, some people don’t understand the role that art plays in society.
Grocott’s Mail reporter, Maria Sibiya and Kwanele Butana met with various local artists to hear what they have to
say about why we love art.
Thabo Mahlangu
Painter and printmaker
Nkululeko Mpongoshe
Art councillor and art facilitator
Art is a form of designing everything around us including
what we see and feel. It’s a style of living as it depends
very much on what an individual feels like creating. Art
makes a contribution to our lives in terms of design and the
interpretation of our environment. For example gardening
is a form of design in itself. It’s something we grew up with
and something we need. Art can be used for a variety of
reasons such as entertaining, raising awareness, creating
memories or for beautifying the environment.
Leora Jones
Fine Art student
I don’t think that art has a single role
that one can identify it with. It has a
different meaning for different people depending on what they would
like to associate themselves with.
Art is anything that you can
create. It depends on ideas
and it is a way for people
to open up. I believe that
art is a visual dialogue. Artists are meant to act as the
watchdogs of society. We
as artists aim to take people
from the past to the future
by discovering new ways in
expressing ourselves. There
are certain things that are
difficult to express verbally,
so instead of talking about
it we express it through art.
Nyaniso Lindi, Graphic artist
Sally Scott
Artist and fibre artist
Art is a gift because it is something we are born with. It is a language that we, as
artists, use to communicate with people. Through art you can inform people about
various events that take place in our society or things that affect us in our everyday
lives. The purpose of art is to identify what affects the people concerned. An example
is when a person wants to be recognised, they identify themselves through what
they wear. Artists create our own way of communicating because we are trying
to show people our reality through our artworks. You don’t have to communicate
to people verbally but you can use art as a source of communication by maybe
drawing a picture to show them what is happening in our society.
Art is the voice of the soul
and reflects the state of the
individual and of society. My
own art manifests in three
separate but connected
ways. My pastel landscapes
reflect the physical world
around me and my emotional response to it. My
fibre art is more abstract
in appearance; essentially
an inner landscape and
references the spiritual and
social aspects of self and
society. My teaching and
creative workshops offer
others a chance to explore
their artistic potential and
provide a vehicle for therapy,
healing and the building of
self esteem.
Xanthe Geye
Fine Art student
Art is a comment on contemporary society. It’s for people to
have a visual experience and for them to be able to associate
their own lives with an art work as a means of expressing
oneself. Well in my personal experience, art acts as a commentary on the roles which society imposes on individuals
and moulds individuals into what they want to be and how
they percieve themselves as individuals in a collective enviroment. Art confronts mainstream norms. I think it’s important
because it is a way of subverting norms in a safe environment.

Newsmaker of the
Year
W
e are getting to that time of the year when many
people, but especially newspaper editors, are beginning to reflect on the year that has flown by. As
we in the newsroom look at the front pages of the past year
we cannot help thinking about the big stories, big events and
most important of all, big people who have defined 2009.
So we have decided to choose a Grocott’s Mail Newsmaker of the Year. There are only two qualifications for this
title – the person has to have made the news, and has to
have resided in Makana for most of the year. We will not
present the award to an organisation or team.
The Newsmaker award is not like the Citizen of the Year
nor is it similar to the Civic Awards; we prefer to model our
effort after Time magazine’s Person of the Year. In other
words the nominee does not necessarily have to be a virtuous person. The Newsmaker of the Year could easily be
someone who is just plain wicked.
We would like to invite readers to send in nominations
for this award. You can send us an email, an SMS or drop a
note at the front desk of our offices. We will also open a voting line on our website at www.grocotts.co.za.
Here is a list with some suggestions:
Ismail Mahomed – Director of the National Arts Festival
Vumile Lwana – Mayor of Makana
Pumelelo Kate – Former Mayor of Makana
Ntombi Baart – Municipal Manager
Rob Beer – property developer
Garth Cambray – environmentalist
Michael Whisson – municipal councillor
Dr Saleem Badat – Vice-chancellor of Rhodes University
Bishop Ebenezer Ntlali and
Colonel Sanders – Face of KFC
The final selection will be made by the editorial staff of
Grocott’s Mail, however, we will be taking votes, nominations or arguments provided by readers into consideration.
Please share your thoughts with us.

Oldenburgia hike a
roaring success
A big “thank you” to the many Grahamstonians who participated in the annual
Charity Hike of the Oldenburgia Hiking
Club! No fewer than 48 hikers walked on
the beautiful farm of Nick James to support the fundraising effort for the Khanya
Crèche for children with disabilities at
the Andrew Moyake School.
A cheque of R1 094 was handed over
to the teacher-in-charge of the crèche
and the left-over food – tasty hotdogs –
was donated to the Shelter for Boys..

Our heritage
should not be
compromised
It is amazing the reactions of the general
populace when purveyors of crumbed
chicken and chips show the middle finger
to Grahamstown and its heritage. Those
who care about the town and the townscape come in for some very rough treatment, as shown in the opinion and letters
page of Grocott’s Mail, 1 December. Prof
Dominic Thorburn, one of our most civic
minded citizens is subjected to a truly
vicious and gratuitous adhominem attack, from a “Concerned Citizen” whose
concern has remained cunningly hidden.
This ‘concerned citizen’ shows his civic
mindedness by advising people to disregard the laws of the land! Another ‘concerned citizen’, “Tafadzwa” wonders why
the Aesthetics Committee never commented on the KFC at Market Square
Mall, while the Grocott’s Mail editorial
raises the hoary old falsehood that heritage conservation is somehow detrimental to economic growth.
I sincerely hope that Prof Thorburn
takes the snide and nasty comments
from whence they come and continues
his great work on behalf of Grahamstown and its heritage. His efforts are
greatly appreciated. For Tafadzwa’s
information, there was a much publicised outcry over the signs that are still
ongoing.
The editor wrote, It seems inevitable
that in order for the economy of Grahamstown to grow, it will necessarily
lose some of its traditional charm.” The
question from the heritage conservationists is why? Cannot the developers employ architects and planners who have
flair and imagination in this regard? For
the editor’s information, Dubai cared
nothing for their heritage but that did
not stop the place from crashing. He
further wrote that “progress and old
fashioned enchantment cannot co-exist”.
He is spot on, but the chicken n chips
vendors did not even try, although they
knew that they were setting up shop in
a sensitive urban environment and that
laws exist to protect that environment.
Yet they somehow thought that these
laws did not apply to them. I sincerely
hope that the municipality will show
them the errors of their ways by removing those vile signs if the proprietors do
not. I will happily volunteer my services
and assist the municipal workers in
wielding the crowbars and angle grinders. Otherwise, if anybody wants to find
me, do not look there. There are several
other establishments within walking
distance, run by locals who appreciate
their heritage and offer a more varied
menu at reasonable prices. I’ll probably
be supporting one of them.

You mislead readers. I wrote “... does not
mean that progress and old fashioned
enchantment cannot co-exist”.

Looking out for
each other
Only in a small town like Grahamstown
can one find people who care or are willing to help their fellow citizens when
things go wrong.
Terrified by the storm and army manoeuvres last week, while nobody was at
home, my small dog Dusty escaped from
our yard to find refuge. Two hours later
he was found by Sergeant McKenzie who
took him to the SPCA. I actually only discovered he was missing when I returned
home in the evening and by then he had
already been rescued. My searching the
area was obviously in vain.
The following day my daughter-in-law
phoned the SPCA where Dusty was being
kept. I was touched to receive phone calls
and SMSs from a number of concerned
people. I have also been stopped in Pick n
Pay by anxious friends. Special thanks to
Sgt. McKenzie and for the support from
others.

Simelane not fit for
appointment
I sincerely and fully support the Democratic Alliance (DA) in their efforts
to challenge the decision of the State
President Jacob Zuma, to appoint Adv
Menzi Simelane as successor to Adv
Vusi Pikoli as national Director of Public
Prosecution.
I agree and admit that Simelane is a
graduate of the University of KwaZuluNatal and was educated at the famous
Prince Edward school in Zimbabwe.
I also agree that the appointment of
the head of the National Prosecuting Authority is the prerogative of the
President of the country. Jacob Zuma
has however acted foolishly, as Simelane
is simply not fit and proper to be the
National Director of Public Prosecution
(NDPP).
He lacks the necessary prosecutorial experience and has a track record
that casts serious doubt on his ability to
act without fear, favours or prejudice.
Simelane would only be in that office to
defend Zuma on corruption charges,
an issue the DA continues to pursue.
Earlier this year, Simelane was demoted
as the Director General of the Justice
Department to the Deputy NDPP as
a result of his disgraceful conduct.
The demotion occurred in the wake of
serious findings concerning Simelane’s
compliance and credibility, made by the
Ginwala Commission enquiry into the
fitness of Adv Pikoli to hold office as the
NDPP.
Simelane has, unwisely, been
catapulted above all other contenders
into the most senior and most powerful
public service job in our current constitutional dispensation.

Team effort beats
criminals
Concerned Citizen’s shameful personal
attack on Dominic Thorburn (Grocott’s
Mail 1 December) is not only in the poorest of taste, it is downright disgusting.
Such mud slinging achieves nothing,
but fills one with sympathy and support
for Prof Thorburn and revulsion at the
views of “Concerned Citizen”, whoever
he/she may be.
An alert neighbour upset two armed
burglars who were trying to gain access
to my home on Wednesday morning last
week causing about R15 000 worth of damage in the process. Her shouts alerted my
domestic worker who activated the panic
button which both alerted Hi-Tec and
scared the two young men off. With the
aid of my neighbour as a witness the HiTec guards arrived and succeeded in rapidly apprehending the two not far from my
home, all within a matter of minutes of the
panic button being pressed. The police responded rapidly as well and arrested the
culprits. Not only was one crime solved
but two, as a young woman (whose home
was also almost burgled by the same men
mere minutes before they attempted to
burgle mine) was brought to the scene
by another team of guards who had responded to her alarm call. She was able to
give a positive identification. The heroes
are Mpiyane and Sindile Makana. Thanks
also to Derrick, Morné Herselmann and
the rest of the team who, as a precaution,
arrived soon thereafter to test and check
the rest of the alarm system protecting
my home. We do have a serious problem
with crime in Grahamstown but, for a little
while, I had an insight into the company
and I realised that, as with any organisation worth its salt, it is the people who
make the difference – from those who staff
the control room to the people at the coalface of its operation – all of whom cared
enough to make a difference. Thank you.

Just to clarify the KFC issue
My initial reaction to the letter titled “Beer shouldn’t listen to
Aesthetics Committee” in Tuesday’s edition of Grocott’s Mail,
was to treat it with the contempt it deserves and ignore it.
Unfortunately then the myopia of the lily-livered “Concerned
Citizen” (taking personal pot shots while hiding behind a nomde-plume) would remain unchallenged, and the facts hidden.
Hypocrisy indeed! Oh, and Mr Beer certainly needs no encouragement to ignore local authority since he has often done so
since he first illegally demolished a Settler cottage to start the
Pepper Grove Mall and the subsequent rampant block busting.
Firstly there is no such thing as “GAC” [Grahamstown Aesthetics Committee] and it is not a “policing body”. The Aesthetics Committee of Makana Municipality is an advisory standing
committee of council, who apply existing statutory by-laws,
and whose recommendations go before the Mayoral Executive
Committee for ratification. The committee is made up of a spectrum of volunteer career professions including representatives
of sectors such as business, architecture, heritage, hospitality,
and academia. I am not, and have never been, the head of the
committee and in fact it is always chaired by a City Councillor.
The committee is pro-development and has met with countless business people and arrived at satisfactory and appropriate solutions. There are many national franchises that have
successful businesses in Grahamstown and are sensitive to
the aesthetic issues and have in fact embraced them profitably – these include Spur, Steers, Dulcé Café, Debonairs Pizza,
Nandos and Lewis stores. They have not adopted the bullyboy
tactics of KFC.
If “Concerned Citizen” applied his/her mind to the real economic issues so glibly bandied about he/she would soon learn
that the economics of the Makana district depend principally on
historic and cultural tourism. This tourism is dependant on local history, heritage and the built environment. If not preserved
and allowed to be prostituted by cavalier business people the
economy will suffer directly. Tourists do not visit Grahamstown
because it has the ambience of Mthatha or Boksburg!
Regarding my house in African Street – I have not lived
there for more than three years and the “lurid” colours that it
was painted were in fact an authentic match with Victorian colours as used at the time … yes they could be colourful too! Also
worth noting is that the new owner has elected to retain the
colour scheme … go figure!
Lastly “Concerned Citizen” may well consider joining Mr
Beer in his ATV for the first drive-through and bucket of KFC,
but if succumbing to choking on a bone (as opposed to his words)
I certainly will not be exercising the Heimlich manoeuvre.

mara, the Cape Town gospel superstar,

fame. Their efforts and the production
of their music by Siyabonga Hlekani – a
Johannesburg composer and producer –
have contributed to the popular rap music township flavour with which the group
has become synonymous.
“We are shooting another music
video after Move and we are doing it at
home”, Lance said proudly. The shooting
of the this video has been delayed due to
the heavy assault on band member Kwezi “Bond” Gumse, with the band deciding
not to go ahead until “Bond” could participate. He has recently been released
from hospital and is now steadily recovering at home.

“We have to be on local, national and

Using a sharp paring knife, cut the
peel and all white pith away from
the outside of the grapefruit and
oranges. Working carefully over a
serving bowl, slip the knife along the
membranes on both sides of each
segment to release the segments
from the membranes into the bowl.
Repeat until you have removed all
segments from the citrus fruit.
Squeeze the membranes to release
any juices into the bowl. Remove the
pits from the nectarines and then cut
each half into 8 thin slices. Peel the
kiwi and cut each into 8 to 10 thin
lengthwise slices. Add the mint and
sugar and toss gently to combine.
Refrigerate for 15 minutes before
serving. Toss gently and serve in
small chilled bowls

Thought for the week
Preparing for Christmas!
C
an you believe it? The year is almost over! I don’t know
about you, but I am exhausted! Feels like everything
has whizzed by this year! What a rush! I found this
quote by actor Robin Williams: “Why do they call it rush hour
when nothing moves!” So true! I think I am always in hurry
in Grahamstown, but what does it feel like living in Jo’burg
with all those road alterations for 2010? If I forget something
in Grahamstown, I can at least go home and get it – if you forget anything there – too bad!
Amidst this silly season comes Christmas! Yes, it will
be here in a few weeks time – and yes we will need to rush
around and do all the Christmas shopping, attend all the yearend functions and prepare for guests. But before you sigh in
disbelief at all the extra energy you will need to do it all, take
a moment to think.
What is Christmas about really? They say Christmastime
is like a magnifying glass of sorts. For some, it reveals the
blessings of life they possess and for others it reminds them
of the blessings of life still hoped for or lost.
For some it projects the light of their dreams, hopes, and
wishes and for others it reruns the sad dimness of what could
have been, isn’t yet, or is no more. Regardless of what this
time exaggerates in your life, I want to encourage you all to
use Christmas like a telescope. Gaze into it and discover again
the mystery of God’s love given to us before we loved Him.
That baby in the manger is the source of everything bright
in life and the solution to everything that is dim and dark in
this world.
May Jesus, the hope of the whole world fill your heart with
everything that is noble, true and brings peace to your life.
Rev Geoff Probert
Trinity Presbyterian Church
Celebrating Christmas at Trinity Presbyterian
YOU are invited to join Trinity Presbyterian Church to celebrate Christmas
through music and the Word. A Christmas Carol Service will be held on Sunday
6 December at 9.30am.
Taking part in the service will be local
choir Still4Eva, formed by musically-inclined students from Rhodes University
whose goals are to develop the musical
talent of Grahamstown's youth. Still4Eva
have performed at the National Arts Festival's Gospel Africa programme for the
last two years.
On Sunday, 20 December a combined
service with the Dutch Reformed Church
will be held at Trinity at 9.30am. This is
the fourth year that the two churches
have combined to celebrate Christmas.
Rev Geoff Probert of Trinity and Ds
Strauss de Jager of the NG Kerk invites
everyone to join this special celebration
of Christian unity.
The service will be conducted in
English and Afrikaans.
Tower of London Choir
to visit our Cathedral
THE Choir of the Chapel Royal
at the Tower of London, one of
the finest chapel choirs in the
UK, will be visiting Grahamstown in January. Consisting of
ten professional singers under
the direction of Colum Carey,
organist and director of music,
the choir will be giving recitals in
Cape Town and leading worship
at St George’s Cathedral, prior
to coming to Grahamstown. On
Sunday, 10 January the choir
will be leading the singing at
a Choral Eucharist at 8.30am
in the Cathedral of St Michael
and St George. The preacher
will be Prof Michael Whisson. At
Evensong on the same day the
choir will again lead the worship
and the preacher will be the
Queen’s Chaplain at the Tower
of London.

Locals take
up Big Birding
challenge
HugH Retief
F
our Grahamstown bird enthusiasts observed an impressive 161 species of birds in the Grahamstown area last
Saturday.
Locals Hugh Retief and Mark Galpin accompanied by
Rhodes University students Daniel Dankwerts and Justin
Nicolau took up the Big Birding Day challenge run by the South
African Bird Atlasing Project (Sabap) at http://sabap2.adu.org.za.
Volunteer observers do species counts in their choice of pentad – a geographical area demarcated by latitude and longtitude
lines – and the data is then entered into a national database.
The five-year project to assess how climate change is affecting bird behaviour is run by the Animal Demography Unit of the
University of Cape Town, who have some 600 voluntary observers countrywide.
“We are very lucky because Grahamstown lies perfectly in
the middle of the pentad 3315_2630. Some areas in other pentads are not as easily accessible because of terrain or private
owners. We are also lucky because quite a few biomes come together here, so we get some very interesting birds,” said Retief.
The volunteers set off early and were in the forest on Mountain Drive at first light, where they recorded over 60 bush and
forest species. They then moved to the dam beyond Mayfair
sewerage works, where most of the waterfowl and waders were
recorded.
The Belmont Valley sewerage works and the Burnt Kraal
area beyond the golf course were next, by which time they had
recorded close to 130 species.
They had set a target of 150 so they moved on to the dams
and quarries around Rhodes and the Botanical Gardens, where
the target was reached.
A new goal was set at 160 and a decision made to go back to
Belmont Valley.
Species which had not been seen were now few and far
between and they began to look for specific birds. The bronze
mannikin – which had eluded them all day despite being quite a
common bird – was found at Jeannie Main’s bird feeder. Having
recorded 161 species, the four exhausted, but happy volunteers
returned home after a successful day.
A number of rare birds were observed, including
buffspotted flufftail, redchested flufftail, pygmy kingfisher and
African rail.

A fishy
situation
StRato CopteRoS
ARoUND 80 million tons of fish and seafood are caught globally
each year, with overfishing and mechanisation creating a crisis
of depleted fish stocks through unsustainable fishing methods
such as factory vessels and bottom trawling. If we want to keep
our oceans from going over the brink, we need to make smarter
seafood choices.
To help consumers make sustainable choices, a seafood
pocket guide has been released by Sassi – the Southern African
Sustainable Seafood Initiative – which can be downloaded via
the internet on http://www.greenworks.co.za/SASSI_Pocket_
Guide.pdf
The pocket guide lists various fish species and categorises
them by colour. Green is a sustainable consumer choice from
a healthy fish population; orange advises extreme caution because the species is rare from overfishing, severe environmental damage or when the biology of the fish makes it particularly
vulnerable to high fishing pressure and red means it is illegal to
sell or buy this seafood in South Africa.
With this pocket guide, you can now do your bit, without
needing to sail the high seas to enforce sustainable fishing.
Another interesting seafood fact is that aquaculture or fish
farms now provide up to 25% of all the fish we eat. In Greece
for example, the slang “fish with a passport” is now commonly
used for fish living in the ocean, as opposed to those that are
farmed. It’s a relatively common practice elsewhere, yet our
government, through impenetrable legislation, makes the development of aquaculture projects extremely difficult, in contrast to other industrial and agricultural projects where the
government offers incentives or tax breaks.
Discussion about the pros and cons of aquaculture in our
country has been minimal. Shouldn’t we at least begin the
debate?

Victoria Primary wins R5 000 for being a great team
Staff RepoRteR
L
earners from Victoria Primary School enthusiastically
supported the sixth event in the 2009 BSG Energade Kids
Triathlon Series at Pollock Beach in Port Elizabeth on
Sunday and in the process won a R5 000 incentive prize for the
school.
As a way to encourage youngsters to take part in triathlons,
the organisers of the series award a prize at each race to the
school that brings the most participants. Victoria Primary won
the prize hands down because 56 learners competed, said the
school’s sports coach, Michelle Rafferty after collecting the
cheque at the prizegiving ceremony.
Joining oodles of other youngsters, Victoria Primary’s
would-be triathlon stars embraced this exhilarating multi-sport
event enthusiastically – participating both as individuals and as
teams. The event encompasses three disciplines, namely swimming, cycling and running.
“The kiddies series is all about getting children active,
growing the sport of triathlon and giving kids a secure environment in which they can achieve their personal potential, without the pressure of winning. It’s all about having fun, family
involvement and also as a training ground for future triathlon
stars. We hope that in the future learners from more schools
like Victoria Primary will participate,” says Corné Grobler, the
series organiser.
With youngsters being able to participate in teams with
each member playing to their strengths the series is ideal for
school participation as children of varying experience and talent can compete alongside one another.
The further appeal of the series is that every child is a winner on the day with all participants receiving a medal, t-shirt,
energy drink, swimming cap and a goodie bag filled with fun
stuff from the series sponsors.

Development of a Local Economic Development Strategy for
Makana Local Municipality
CO-OPERATIVE WORKSHOP
INVITATION
Some of the greatest challenges facing Makana SMME's and businesses are lack capacity, marketing and
funding. Formalising these groups could assist SMME's / businesses to move towards self sustainable and
viable enterprises. Cooperatives coul be instrumental in providing the poor women, youth and other marginilized members of the community a purpose and pride as a result of their financial independence and
contributions to the economy of the Makana. Their successes can therefore eventually relieve government
from budgetary and fiscal pressures regarding human development. It also enables them to form partnerships with government in service delivery and use these organizations for mutual support and information
dissemination.
The Local Economic Development has therefore find it imperative to assist the communities that need information on formalizing themselves (become legal entities). A workshop is thus being arranged to cover the
co-operative concept and its registration process. Information about how to register other legal entities (NPO
and closed corporations) will also be covered. Therefore two representatives per group who are interested to
become legal entities (Trotters, farmers, hawkers, grass cutters, etc) are invited to attend this event.

As a matter of fact
In the Tuesday, 1 December edition of Grocott’s Mail under the
photograph of nolan de Maar on page 15, incorrect information
was supplied by Mary Waters Secondary School.
De Maar has not been graded for black belt (he will do so in
2010) and he has not been selected to represent the Protea Team
in Morocco. The gold and silver medals were won at the nelson
Mandela Bay All-Styles karate Championships held in Port Elizabeth on 21 november.
