FAIRVIEW Link at Restitution Avenue, hasbeen inundated with applicants for the afford-able housing project which will be ready foroccupation at the beginning of April this year.

According to Imizi Housing Utility, whohave been instrumental in the constructionand running of the Walmer Link project andnow the Fairview Link project, they have hadover 1 200 applicants to date with many stillapplying for residence at the Fairview Linksocial housing project.

Imizi Housing Utility CEO, ThamsanqaNgcezula, said they have been busy siftingthrough various applications since late lastyear and were expecting to have more appli-cants during the course of the year.

Ngcezula said the housing project is mainlyfor people earning less than R7 500 and morethan R2 500. A total of 30% of the units wouldbe reserved for those people who are descend-ants of Fairview Land Restitution beneficiar-ies.

“Social Housing units are of the same qual-ity and standard as the commercial rentals;the only difference is that they are subsi-dised by government. The perception that

because the rental is low, the quality is low,is in fact wrong,” said Ngcezula.

Ngcezula warned against fraudulent ap-plicants, saying if found they would eitherbe evicted, forced to pay a fine or face jailtime.

Monthly rentals are said to range fromR581 to R2 250 for a bachelor flat, R631 to

R2 250 for a one-bedroom and R657 to R2250 for a two-bedroom.

The qualifying criteria that an applicantshould meet are as follows:

. Must be a South African;

. Must be a least 21 years of age;

. Must not be owning or have owned anRDP house;. Must not own or have owned aFLISP house;. Must never have owned a bonded house

or commercial/business property (IMIZIcan be flexible on this one)

THE lives of Kama Primary and Lwandleka-ziHighSchools pupils inNewBrightonhavebeen improved for the better, thanks to agood gesture by Vodacom Foundation.

The foundation last week donated station-ery packs to pupils of these two schools. Inthe packs were a sharpener, an eraser, a penand a ruler for the lower primary pupilswhile secondary learners also received Sci-entific Calculators in their packs.

The visit to the PE schools was part of Vo-dacom’s national stationery drive worthover R6 million to benefit 60 000 primaryschool pupils and 180 000 high school learn-

ers from quintile one and two schools.According to Vodacom Managing Execu-

tive: Eastern Cape Region, Carol Hall, thekey objective of the stationery drive, was tosupport the education department in its sup-port of children from disadvantaged com-munities.

“Our goal is to ensure that the learnersthroughout the country have access to someof the basic tools to start off the school year,”said Hall.

She said that although Vodacom was in-volvedwithvarious other communityuplift-ment projects, it was the first time that theywere delivering stationery to benefit chil-dren from disadvantaged backgrounds.

Principals Andile Dlawu and Boyce Klaas

from Kama Primary and Lwandlekazi HighSchools respectively thanked VodacomFoundation for the gesture which came justat the right time.

“The gesture came at the beginning of theyear, when the parents of these childrenwere still struggling to buy stationery. SithiPhambili kuVodacom Foundation,” said an

elated Dlawu. “This is good for our childrenas well as our teachers. These resources willcome in handy, and the timing is right forwork to be done. When one thinks about it,most of these children would not afford tohave the Scientific Calculators. Sibambangazo zozibini kuVodacom Foundation,” anoverjoyed Klaas said.

This is exactly what we want to achievein this project.”

PatrickMayo, the former South Africa andKaizer Chiefs utility player, told the kids totake education seriously and to refrain fromtaking drugs.

THE South Africam National Amateur Box-ing Organisation (SANABO) youth and elitemale and female teams fought against theircounterparts from Botswana in an interna-tional friendly at the Jeff Masemola Commu-nity Hall, KwaNobuhle in Uitenhage last Sat-urday.

This was after the SANABO team spent theweek in Nelson Mandela Bay for a trainingcamp which SANABO president Andile Mofusaidwas aimedat assessing the country’s box-ing hopefuls against formidable teams fromtheir Botswana neighbours.“We camehere to formalise the partnership

we have with the Eastern Cape Academy ofSport for our boxers to get the physical testingand scientific support without which wecould not have a proper training pro-gramme,” said Mofu.EC Academy of Sport Manager Herman

Terblanche reasoned that the boxers needededucation and proper guidance on condition-ing, physical fitness, sport science, diet, men-tal alertness and drug in sport training in or-der to be in touch with the rest of the world.According to Mofu, however, the snapshot

of the boxers that represented the youth andelite squads, whether theywon or lost againstBotswana, a good test gave SANABO coaches

andmanagement a sense of the quality of box-ers South Africa would be sending to the 2014Commonwealth games.“SANABO is using the Commonwealth

games as a launchpad for the 2016 Olympics.It will be amake or break for the 13 SANABOboxers (10 males and three females) we’resending to represent us,” said Mofu.
