Time to wish a Senior Citizen well

Jacob Zuma Boardwalk

President Jacob Zuma has wished all senior citizens well on International Day of Older Persons, which is celebrated on 1 October. The theme for this year's 24th commemoration of the International Day of Older Persons, which was designated by the United Nations in 1990, is ‘Leaving No One Behind: Promoting a Society for All’. “Given this theme that encourages inclusive growth and development, we urge South Africans to celebrate older persons as resources, and not as burdens on society. “Senior citizens play a key role in many families in our country looking after their grandchildren …

EP Kings team announced to take on GWK Griquas

Carlos Spencer

Eastern Province Kings head coach, Carlos Spencer, has announced a fairly unchanged team to take on the GKW Griquas in Kimberly on Saturday at 14:30. Spencer said the team would be under new captainship once again, as neither Darron Nell nor Steven Sykes would be in the starting fifteen, but said he would only announce the new captain on Thursday. "Darron Nell is currently battling with a calf strain and will undergo fitness tests on Thursday, if he passes he will move to the bench, otherwise Steven Sykes will come onto the bench in his place," he said. "I still need to speak to a few …

EC Schools will not have a teacher in each classroom

Letters to the Editor

Dear MyPE The DA is disappointed with the declaration by education MEC Mandla Makupula this morning that the post provisioning for 2015 will remain the same as in 2014, with no new additional posts for the introduction of an African language, which forms part of the declaration. With no extra posts allocated, it means that schools in the Eastern Cape will in 2015 again fall short of having a teacher in each classroom. According to the declaration there will be 55 796 posts for educators and 7 080 posts for non-teaching staff. If all vacant posts in schools could be filled and teachers …

Do you remember?

MyPE Logo

Doing the e-mail rounds is this piece of nostalgia that will take you back to the 'Good old Days' when we (you?) were still young - I have tried to find the originator of this wonderful piece of nostalgia but come up empty handed - if this is a product of your fertile mind then please let us know. The car is packed and the caravan hooked up, only 400 miles then we're at Durbs by the sea. This sign meant you could give a troop an opportunity to taste his Mom's cooking again. Fanus Rautenbach had us out of bed with the shrill notes of the Pennywhistle …

Current up to date online report, conditions due to heavy rain

Letters to the Editor

I have been trying to find some sort of current up to the minute online report on road and other conditions in Port Elizabeth as a result of the current heavy rain. I would have thought that it would be found on your site, fairly easily. Maybe my search criteria are wrong. It may be a good idea to have such a report available for those who wish to know what general conditions are like for those who wish to leave the house for whatever reason. Thank you. Regards Joe Rotheray Editor: Some people have been posting updates using the #portelizabeth on the various social media channels - …

R112m “World Cup Soccer” road fails Alicedale

MyPE Logo

Dear MyPE A 16km district road, which had been tarred at a cost of R112 million is in such a state of disrepair that residents have been putting up makeshift signs around the potholes and broken verges to warn motorists of the danger. However, according to Roads and Public Works MEC Tandiswa Marawu, the road "has not deteriorated at all" and is "very safe for the public". A proper road network is the economic life blood of rural Eastern Cape towns that rely on tourism and agriculture to survive. The MEC and her officials have either been misled or they are simply …

Boet Erasmus Memories

Boet Erasmus

The Boet Erasmus Stadium was the home of many fine rugby memories and witnessed the glory of Eastern Province rugby - tough men who were afraid of no-one. Renamed Telkom Park in the 90's the local team never quite attained the heights of the glory days. Come 2009 EP Rugby vacated the Boet and moved to the new Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium built for the FIFA 2010 World Cup. Today the 'Boet' is a ruin as the city battles to find a solution. Watch the video and take one last run through the tunnel and onto the field. http://youtu.be/ElF0XdP6jbE Creator: mypedotcoza Posted to MyPE by: Alan …

The Eastern Province Kings have lost flank Stefan Willemse for the rest of the season following an injury to his AC joint [shoulder] during the game against the Cell C Sharks in Durban on Saturday.
