The Southern African Plastic Pipe Manufacturers Association (SAPPMA) has announced the winners in their photography competition which was launched earlier this year. The competition was open to all photographers \u2013 regardless of skill and expertise levels \u2013 to interpret the theme, \u201cThe Value and Role of Plastic Pipes in South Africa\u201d.<\/p>\n

Jan Venter, CEO of SAPPMA, reports that although they had a large number of enquiries from members of the general public who were interested in entering the competition, COVID restrictions enforced at factories prohibited general members of public to gain access to sites in order for them to take their photographs.<\/p>\n

\u201cOf course, most of the plastic pipes are also buried beneath the ground. This also made it difficult for budding photographers who do not readily have access to production sites, to take photos of plastic pipes,\u201d Jan reported. The entries were judged on visual impact, relevance to the industry and basic photographic standards such as composition, lighting and focus. The following two photos were selected as winners:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Sediye Machaba: Human Interest Category<\/p>\n

Sediye is a Civil Engineer at Aphane Consulting Engineers, where he forms part of a team that provides sustainable development to communities. \u201cAt times we have seen neighbourhoods literally being born from the dust as we take vacant land and add pipeline and road infrastructure to make it habitable for the less fortunate,\u201d Sediye says.<\/p>\n

He managed to capture one such an occasion on camera recently while visiting an informal settlement in Daveyton, Pretoria, where there is no formalised water infrastructure. Sediye spotted local boys playing with the plastic pipes and asked them whether they knew where the water came from. One of them enthusiastically replied, \u201cWe buy it!\u201d. This left Sediye touched by how much work still needs to be done to ensure that all residents of South Africa have access to clean drinking water and inspired the winning photograph entitled: \u201cLike water, humans need to keep moving forward\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Gabrielle Hobson: Artistic Category<\/p>\n

Gabrielle Hobson won the artistic category with her photograph entitled, \u201cPVC Feeds the Garden of Eden\u201d taken at the Karoo Caf\u00e9 in Lynnwood Road, Pretoria. Gabrielle is a keen swimmer and netball player, and also enjoys playing guitar, painting, drawing and taking photographs in her free time when she is not busy studying of walking her dogs.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe photography competition afforded us the opportunity to celebrate the importance of plastic pipes in South Africa. Our sincere thanks to everybody who entered and congratulations to the winning entries!\u201d Jan concluded.<\/p>\n
