Party responsibly

It’s that time of the year where criminals see an opportunity to make a quick buck.Don’t be a victim!


As we approach this weekend we look forward to the switching of the lights on Saturday,28 November.


It’s no secret that people will consume alcohol even if the law forbids it.


As much as the beachfront will be packed with people from all over the country,so will Frere Hospital.A good initiative always has its disadvantages but it’s unfortunate that the nurses and doctors will have to work extra hard.

The much anticipated Motsepe Foundation Concert  took place at the East London beachfront last weekend,which featured one of the most prominent artists in the country,who showcased their talents .The youth was expected to show up in numbers ,and Yes they did.




The Buffalo City Municipality’s initiative to ban alcohol at Marina Glen(Ebuhlanti) was actually a good idea,it ensured a decrease in violent activities but reality is ,where there’s people there’s violence.


In previous years I have heard of traumatic events that occur during these festivities ranging from mugging to killings.The beachfront is notorious according to the wise and elderly.


Though alcohol was banned,there are always those who are willing to break the law at all cost.


There is nothing worse than having to look over your shoulders whilst having fun but it is what is because you’ll never know when you are the target.Safety is not guaranteed so it is in your best interest to look out for number one.

Consider this a friendly warning:do not bring any valuables if you know what’s good for you,should you fail to listen,unfortunately you’ll find yourself running to the nearest police station.It is imperative to be alert at all times.


The South African Police Service(SAPS) still face mounting pressure from citizens with regards to the increasing crime rate.It is common knowledge that the SAPS will do it's utmost best to combat these crimes and to create a safer Eastern Cape.

  7. Good one but its a shame that the municipality reversed their decision of "no alcohol" in public places for the festive season. A lot of people will suffer.
