NewoperatortakesoverKariegapoundasSPCAtransitionunfolds

SHANTI JAFTA

SPCA Uitenhage, which has cared for animals at its Kariega facilityfor nearly six decades, nowfaces evictionafter municipal officials awardedthe management of the Kariega municipal poundtoanother organisation.

While the animals remain undersupervision, the shelter must urgentlyfinda newhome, raising concerns among staff, volunteers, and animal welfareadvocates

Deirdré Swift, chairperson of SPCA Uitenhage, said the team is doingits best to continue operationsunderdifficult circumstances.

“Understandably, obviously it's been a very emotional time for absolutely everybodyinvolved —our staff, volunteers, and supporters,” she said. “The team has been very positive. They’ve all pulled together and are working hardtoprovide theservicethat the public has beenused to getting from us, despite extremely difficult conditions.”

Owing to the ongoing changes, SPCA staff have had to relocate officesand clinicsinto two metal containers, which Swift described as “very cramped”and extremely hot.

Yet the organisationcontinues to care for theanimals at the facility,she said, whilsttrying to reassure staff aboutthe uncertain future.

The crux of the situation liesin the municipal tender for the management of the pound.

The previous SPCA contract expired at the end of October 2025. Whilst SPCA hadbeen along-standing service provider since around1969,municipal officials explained that the organisation did not submit abid for the newtender.

AccordingtoTshonono Buyeye, MMC for Public Health at NelsonMandelaBay Municipality,“Whenthe advert went out, there was asite clarification meeting where all those who were interested in bidding were called, and everything was explained. SPCA was part of that meeting and had an opportunity to raise objections, but they did not.Then,a day before the deadline, theyinformed usthey would not be submitting abid.”

The municipality said it was legally unabletoaward the tender to an organisationthat had not bid, even though SPCA hadbeen atrusted service provider for decades.

“We could not do it even though we’ve hadthis long relationship with them,” Buyeye said. “Their failure to bid leftus with no other option but to appointsomeone else to run the pound.”

Thenew service provider,Busy Bee,is alocally founded organisation with extensive experience in animal welfare across

SouthAfrica and neighbouring countries.

Speakingto UD Express,Stanley Adam, co-founder of Busy Bee, said,“I’vebeen helping donkeysonthe street,working with animalsfor more than 20 years, and have experience withorganisationshere andabroad. My intention is to make sure our pound management provides continuouscare for allanimals, without disruption.”

the pound,whilst veterinary services will be providedbyDoctor Tafara Mapuvire, whosequalificationsinclude advanced smallanimal and equine surgery, fracture repair, and production animal care.

Mapuvire has extensive experience in South Africa and abroad, including Namibia, Zimbabwe, and Cape Town, and is a registered member of multiple veterinary professional bodies.

care, the transition has left SPCA volunteersand staff unsettled. Swift emphasised that the animals must be placed only within the SPCA network, underscoring the organisation’sconcern for maintaining accountability and ethical placement of animals, even as they are required to vacate the premises.

Swift explained that the SPCA did not assume it would automatically retain the contract, but said the timeframe of the tender was unmanageable.

“The tender went out on 19 December and was only valid until 31 December,” she said. “That left literally five working days to submit abid, excluding weekends and public holidays. Many of our committee members wereunavailable owing to the Christmas period. We asked for clarity and an extension, but were told the dates could not be changed.”

The SPCA has also faced logistical challenges in preparing to vacate the premises.

Twocontainers wereemptied to accommodate the new service provider, forcing staff to operate from cramped spaces.

“It’s been incrediblydifficult, but our staff has remained professional and positive,” Swift said.

Illegalextractionofmunicipalwaterprohibited

SHANTI JAFTA

AN illegal water extraction operation was halted in Kariega this week followinga complaint from aMoselNeighbourhood Watch member, the South AfricanPolice Service (SAPS) has confirmed.

According to SAPS spokespersonCaptain Sandra Janse van Rensburg,SAPS Kariegasaid that the complaint wasattended to by Metro Police who issued two fines to the alleged suspects.

Astatement released by the NelsonMandela Bay Municipality(NMBM) stated that theincident occurredonMonday, 26 January 2026, when avehicle was found illegallyextractingwater from amunicipal fire hydrant in Hugo Naudé Street, Janssensdal.

“Thecomplaint was reported to the Ward 51 office, after which wardcouncillor Roelf Basson, Metro Police andSAPS were contacted immediately,” thestatement said.

Metro Policeissued awarning and a R1,000 fine to the individual involved for tampering with municipal infrastructure, whilethe South African Police Service

confiscated the equipmentused to extract the water. Theequipment wasbooked in at Kariega SAPS, where acasewas opened

“This serves as awarning to allindivid-

uals thatthe illegal use or theft of water frommunicipal infrastructure is prohibited andwill result in law-enforcement action,” the statement stated.

TheMunicipality said Metro Police

The municipality confirmed that SPCA will have until 20 February 2026 to vacate the property, giving them time to move theirassets.

Officials also stressed that no animals are at risk of being put down owing to the transition. There is sufficient space at the municipal pound, and veterinary oversight will ensure all animals continue to receive care.

The situation highlightsthe tension between legal procurement processes and the human element of animal welfare. Swift said her priority is the wellbeing of the animals under her care, and that SPCA will continue to advocate for ethical and responsibleplacements withintheir network.

Adam said Busy Bee’sfocus will be hands-on animal welfareand community engagement.

“We’re here to educate people, to work with the community, and to make sure animals are cared for,” he said. “It’s not about publicity. Ourgoal is to provide continuity of care and ensure no animal is neglected during thistransition.”

As SPCA Uitenhage prepares to leave its historic premises, both the municipality and Busy Bee stated that the welfareofanimalsremains theirtop priority. Residents can expect continued services at the municipal pound, whilst SPCA seeksa new location to maintain itsdecades-long legacy of care.

“demonstrates zero tolerance for illegal water trading across the Metro,”warning that such actions pose aserious risk to communities.

“Tampering with fire hydrants reduces water pressure needed for firefighting and emergency response, placing lives and property in danger,” the statement added.

TheNMBM said it will continue to act firmly against water theft and urged residentstocomply with current water restrictions. Residentswere encouraged to report illegal water use to help protect limited water supplies and ensure community safety.

TheMunicipality further reminded residentsthat “there are only five legally registered water service providersinthe Metro, as listed on the NMBM website”. Only these providers are permitted to deliver non-potable water, and “any other water sales or collections are illegal”. Owing to declining dam levels, the Municipalityreiterated that “the filling of swimming pools and the watering of gardens is strictly prohibited”. It stressed that no municipal water may be used for thesepurposes.

Community members and businesses are encouraged to assist the SPCA. For more information, contact Deirdré Swift on 083 415 5181. Some

Businessesurgedtostrengthenwater preparednessamidwatersecurityconcerns

THENelson Mandela Bay Business Chamber has encouraged businessesacross the metro to strengthen theirwaterpreparedness by putting appropriatebackup measures andsolutionsinplace as dam levels continue to trend lower, the metro’s unaccounted water losses tracking at over 50% and water consumption continuing to remain above target.

“This combination of factors heightens the risk ofwater restrictionsbeing implemented, and the potentialfor prolonged periods of water-shedding to take place,” said Denise van Huyssteen, Chief ExecutiveOfficer of the NelsonMandela Bay Business Chamber.

“Businessesshouldbelookingatwater securityascarryingasimilar level of risk to what was experienced during the height of loadsheddinginthe 2023/24 period. This required that back-up solutions, suchassolar power and generators, was in place to ensure business continuity duringpower disruptions.”

She emphasisedthat water security should be viewed as asharedongoing responsibility that requires foresight rather than reactive measures.

The metro’s supply dams are currently tracking at 46.63%,with 37.64% of this being classified as useable.

While this level may not indicate an immediate crisis, it does highlightthe importance of proactive planning, particularly if dry conditions persist or demand continues to outpace replenishment.

Currentwater usage is tracking at 378 millionlitres per day (MLD), compared to atarget of 280 MLD.

“Water remains acritical input into every sector of the local economy from small businesses to largeindustries. With useabledam levels nowbelow40%, unaccounted waterlosses tracking at over 50% and consumption trending well abovetarget,itisprudent for businesses to ensure they have reasonable contingency measuresin place to managepotential interruptions,” she said.

Van Huyssteen noted that water conservation efforts remainessentialand must continue, but added that conservation alone does not fully address operational risk

“Responsible water use is fundamental, and businesses have made meaningful progressinthis regard. However, experience has shown thatconservation needs to becomplemented by practical planning Backupmeasures help businesses remain operational,minimise disruptionand manage costs should supply constraints occur.”

She explained that previous periods of waterstress in Nelson Mandela Bay had highlighted the value of preparedness, particularly forsectors suchasmanufacturing, tourism, hospitality, healthcare and small enterprises.

“Simple and appropriate interventions, such as water storage, recycling and reuse systems, or alternative supply arrangements where feasible andcompliant, can

significantly improveresilience without creating unnecessarystrain on thesystem,”Van Huyssteen said.

She further emphasised that business preparedness contributes to broader economic stability.

“When businesses plan responsibly, it supports continuity of employment,stabilises supply chains and reduces pressure on municipalresponse mechanisms during periods of strain.”

TheNelson Mandela Bay Business Chamber has encouraged businesses to review their water risk exposure, invest in proportionate backup infrastructure, fix leaks on theirown premises and ensure compliance with allrelevant regulations.

The Chamber reaffirmed its commitment to constructive engagement with thevarious stakeholders to support transparent communicationand long-term watersecurity planning

“Water security underpins economic confidenceand sustainable growth,” Van Huyssteen concluded. “By acting early and responsibly, businesses can helpensure that NelsonMandela Bay remains resilient, competitive andwell-positioned to manage future water challenges.”

Chamber’s Water Task Team Lead Basil Mugwagwa said the current wateroutlook presents acriticalmoment for coordinated and practicalaction,particularly from the business community

“The combinationofdeclining dam levels, persistently highconsumption and structural losses in the system signals a

growing risk environment that cannot be addressed through conservation alone. What theChamber is advocating for is a balanced and responsibleapproach -continued water efficiency, coupled with realistic preparedness measures that protect business continuity and economic stability.

“By encouraging businesses to assess their waterrisk exposure and invest in proportionate and compliant backup solutions, we are not shifting responsibility away from themunicipality, but rather strengthening collective resilience. Prepared businesses are betterable to sustain operations, protect jobsand reduce pressure on municipal systems during periods of strain on thesystem. This kind of forward planning is essential if Nelson Mandela Bay is to remain economically competitive and resilient in theface of increasing water uncertainty.”

Water scarcity is not just aNelson MandelaBay or South African issue, but also aglobal issue.

AUnited Nations Report, which wasreleased this week and is titled Global Water Bankruptcy: Living Beyond OurHydrological Means in the Post-CrisisEra,argues that theterm “water crisis” failstoreflect today’sreality in many places around the world where peopleare living beyond their hydrological means.

The report declares anew era of “waterbankruptcy”, emphasising theneed for urgent action and redefined policies to address irreversiblelosses.

WinleyMartin’sleapoffaiththroughcancer

SHANTI JAFTA

AT 20-years-old,Winley Martin from Kariegathought he had time. Time to chase dreams later, to fix relationshipslater,tostart living properly one day. Cancer tookthat illusion away.

During treatment, Martin experienced acomplication that was never clearly explainedtohim beforehand. He says no specialist warned him that paralysis wasa possibility. “The specialist never really told me that Iwas goingto be paralysed,”Martinsaid. “We were not expecting that. It was because of the chemotherapy— the substances in it made my whole spinalcordbrittle.”

Theloss of mobility was not announced in asingle moment. It unfolded gradually, forcing Martin to process areality he had never been prepared for. For him, surviving cancer became as mucha mental battle as aphysicalone. Central to that was what he describes as a “leap of faith”.

“Leap of faith is verycrucial forcancer survivors,” he said. “It helps you believe in the whole process and stay positive.”

Martin said he never questioned God about what he was going through. Instead, he focused on continuingtofight. “I never questioned God forwhat was happening,” he said. “I just kept on fighting and Ialways had the faith that Iwould getbetter.I turned all the negativethoughts into positives.”

sary not only forcancerpatients, but foranyonefacinghardship. “Anybody in this world needs to have thatleapoffaith,” he said. “Yourfaith needstobesuper strongbecause it carriesyou throughalot of things.”

One of themostemotional milestones in hisrecoverycamewhen he returned to the gym.Fitness, he said, was acorepartofhis identity beforecancer.“Walking back into the gymwas oneofthe most beautiful feelings in the world,” Martin said. “I’m agym rat. Going back made my heartsohappy because Icould getbacktowho Iwas after everything Iwentthrough.”

Looking back, Martinsays he would tellhis younger self to keep believing, even when the outcome felt impossible. “I would tellmyself to neverstop believing in what Ican achieve,”hesaid.

Cancer alsofundamentally changed howheviews life. Before his diagnosis, Martinsaidhebelieved there would always be more time. “Beforethe cancer,I thought Ihad time —timetochase dreams later, timetofix relationshipslater,” he said.“Cancer tookthatillusion away from me.”

He said when life is suddenly at risk, everyday worries losetheir significance.“What matters is waking up,breathing, lovingpeopleproperly andlivingwith purpose,”hesaid.

OldAgeHomeinCollegeHillreceivesafacelift

SHANTI JAFTA

THE Uitenhage People’sOld Age Home,located at 11 Innes Street, CollegeHill in Kariega, was recently given amakeover by Democratic Alliancemembers in their quest to restore dignity to the elderly.

For many of the residents, the day was not about paint, cleaning or donated food; it was about being seen.

Elizabeth Müller (80), the secretary of the home, has been involved with the facility since 1985.

Speaking to UD Express,she describes it not simplyasan old-age home, but ‘a home from ahome’, caring for elderlyresidents who have little to no family support.

Currently housing 10 to 11 residents, the home operates on minimal resources.

Residents pay R2,100 per month, which covers accommodation, three meals aday and basic care.According to Müller, that amount barely stretches far enough to keep the doorsopen.

“Food is very expensive, cleaning materials are expensive, and the home is old,”she said “Sometimes you have to scratch here and scratch there justto make it through the month.”

The facility employs onlytwo workers whomanage cooking, cleaning,laundry and general upkeep.

Müllersaid volunteer assistance would ease aheavy burden, especially withmaintenance tasks such as window cleaning,gardening and repairs.

Outstanding municipalrates and taxes remain asignificant challenge, which Müller

said have left the home owing around R20 000. “It’s frightening to think of water or electricity being cut off,” she said.

“Theseresidents don’t have anyone else to fall back on.”

Ward 48 councillor Franay van der Linde said the home was identified as aplace where practical help couldmakean immediate difference. Volunteers cleaned rooms, washed windows, painted the boundary wall and assisted with general tidying.

“Even if someonecannotclean or paint,just sitting andhaving aconversation withanelderly person means alot,” Van der Linde said.

“They want to talk. Theywant to feel remembered.”

Eastern Cape provincial legislature member Horatio Hendricks said the visit formed part of broader community outreach focused on vulnerable groups.

“Most of theseresidents survive on governmentgrants, with very littleleft for their personal needs,”hesaid. “We measure society by howwecare for the elderly —the people who once took care of us.”

Beyond the physical improvements, residents were treated to food parcels, small giftsand shared momentsofconversation —gestures that, according to Müller, matter just as much.

“We are proud of this home,”she said. “It’s clean,it’s cared for, and the peoplehere deserve dignity.”

Community members and businesses willing to assist with groceries,cleaning supplies, maintenance or volunteer time areencouraged to support the home. For more information, contact Müller on 073 533 5024.

said.“Strength isn’tpretending you’re okay. It’saskingfor help, sitting with the fear andstill choosing to move forward.”

Hismessage,hesaid, is notto wait fortragedy beforeappreciatinglife. “Don’t wait foralife-threateningmomenttoappreciate life,” Martinsaid. “Say what needstobe said.Chase what scaresyou.”

Over time, hisrelationship with cancer shifted. He admits he was angryatfirst, butthatanger eventually transformed. “I really fell in lovewith the journey,” he said.“I turned everything from negativity to positivity.”

So much so,hesaid, thatbeingdeclaredcancer-free brought unexpectedemotions. “I actually gotmad when Iwas declared cancer-free,”Martinsaid. “I had adaptedsoeasily to the process andthe journey.”

For thosenewly diagnosed, his adviceisdirectand uncompromising. “Believe in yourself anddo notstop fighting,” he said.“The journeywon’t be easy,but it’s what youmakeofit.”

Martinplaces strongemphasis on mentalconditioning andwarns againstallowing illnesstobecome identity.“If your mind is notsick, youare notsick,”hesaid. “Your body is sick,not your mind.” Evenduringparalysis, he pushed himselfrelentlessly. “I was sliding on the floor to the bathroom,” he said.“Irefusedtostop.”

For Martin, masteringthe mind was the true victory; onethatallowed himnot only to survivecancer, buttolivebeyondit. Winley

Sy is ’n unieke lid wat die manne bymekaar hou.

Trouens,Estelle (48) is diehartklop van dieklub.

Sy word boonop bygestaan deur haar dogter,Rochelle de Beer (27), wat ook haar ma se passieuitleef as tellinghouer en fotograaf.

Estelle is egter nienet Despatch se amptelike tellinghouer nie, maar haar vlak van graderinglaat haar ook toe om telling te hou by die provinsiale spanne, dieSunrisers en dieDafabet Warriors.

Sy het ook dieeer gehad om in Desember 2024 telling te hou vir die Proteas en Sri Lanka se vyfdagtoets op St. Georgepark.

Estelle is nou reeds 14 jaar deel vandie klub en dieafgelope nege jaar betrokke as tellinghouer.

“My meisiekindwas eintlik die tellinghouer virdie eersteligaspan, maar wanneer sy besig washet ek uitgehelp in haar plek.

“Ek en my dogter het saam ons lineard scoring kursus geslaag. Ek het laterdie volgende vlak van

Op ’n vraag of sy haarself leer telling hou het, sê Estelle: “Die basiese boek van tellinghou was redelikvinnigomtesnap. En kon dus myself touwys maak, maar vir dienuwe standaardmoes jy kursusse voltooi het en toetseslaag met ’n gemiddeld van 80% om die graderingtekon bekom.”

Saterdagkans opDespatch

HANNES SCHOEMAN

DIE Westbrook-sokkerklub op Despatch wat in 2023 gestig is, hou Saterdag vanaf 10:00 weer ’n opedag op die dorp.

Die klub is vir jong seuns en dogters wat geesdriftige spelers is.

Charné Benecke, wat dieklub saam met Mark Williams en Damian Scott gestig het, sê hierdie dae is baie gewild omdat al hoe meer ouers hul kinders bring om saam te speel.

Saterdag se aksie wordopdie veld van die Voorbereiding-laerskool op die hoek van Berg- en Voortrekkerstraat gehou.

“Ons sorteer die kinders uit volgens hul ouderdomme en vertel dan aan die ouers hoe die verloop van die dag werk.

“Ons verwag vyf spanne uit Despatch en Kariega, en so vier tot vyf spanne uit die Baai.

“Westbrook se eersteope dag is in Februarie 2024 gehou. Laas jaar het ons een in die Baai en een op Despatch gehou,” sê sy.

Charné sê met dié dae gee hulle jong kinders die geleentheid om sokker te speel en hulle potensiaal te ontwikkel. Sy sê Westbrook het tans sewe spanne wat by dieOP-sokkerverenging geregistreer is.

Dis die o.11-spanne Pups, Wolves en Scousers, die o.13 Royals, o.15 (championship), o.17 (Premierliga) en seniors (eersteliga).
