KARIEGA <\/strong>– The winner of a car at this year\u2019s Women\u2019s Challenge in Gqeberha is on the frontlines of the war against gender-based violence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nomandla Lunguza, a lieutenant-colonel in the South African Police Service, is based at Kamesh in Kariega, a neighbourhood notorious for its high levels of abuse against women and children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her participation in the Nelson Mandela Bay leg of the women-only national series was born from a desire to run her 10th<\/sup> road race of the year while supporting SPAR Eastern Cape\u2019s own campaign against GBV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kamesh is gripped by drug abuse with females and youngsters often victims of violent acts perpetrated by those under the influence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMost women in Kamesh are really suffering and the other day an eight-year-old was murdered,\u201d Lunguza said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur spiritual leaders are praying every day for this to stop. This is why I knew I also had to be part of the Women\u2019s Challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSPAR is playing a huge role in the fight against GBV and I\u2019m sure we will win it at some stage.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Kamesh police station has 125 officers on its books, many of whom are women tasked with stamping out the scourge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lunguza, making her debut in the Women\u2019s Challenge, entered the 10km option and duly completing it in 59 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her race number was one of five drawn at the event, with each contender being handed a set of keys that could potentially unlock the vehicle put up as the grand prize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She shrieked with delight when her remote opened her future ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ironically, the 49-year-old has never attended a prizegiving after any of her races and, needless to say, she is exceptionally glad she did so on this occasion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAt first, I didn\u2019t have the feeling I was going to win, but as the DJs were asking [the crowd] who was going to win, I told myself, \u2018I am going to \u2013 that car is mine\u2019,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Originally from Keiskammahoek, Lunguza became a police reservist in 2007 and began working as a clerk at SAPS\u2019s Cacadu (Lady Frere) station a year later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2018 she was awarded the rank of captain and, four years later, made lieutenant-colonel upon her transfer to Kamesh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her love for running developed in Cacadu, where there was little to do outside of work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI ran to keep busy and fit,\u201d she said, adding that she only ran one formal race during her time there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her goal this year was to complete 10 races and, as it happened, the Women\u2019s Challenge was the one that got her over the line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It goes without saying that she will be back for her second Women\u2019s Challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis car is a blessing. I want to say thank you for this wonderful gift and for inspiring women.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She, herself, has been wearing her collection of medals to work to encourage her colleagues to take up the sport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SPAR EC managing director Solly Engelbrecht said it was important for the family retailer to show its commitment to the community and its women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Women\u2019s Challenge was a big part of that, he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
