MANY people either look forward to the festive pe riod and begin their countdown to Christmas in Oc tober, while others are left running for the hills to avoid the ‘silliness’ that comes with the season. As we get ready to wind down and take a breath er, we decided to reflect on some of the wonderful reasons to celebrate the year that was. Yes, we can talk about some of the lowlights as well (no pun on the word ‘lights’), but that would not be very festive at all. The team at the Fever has had a wonderful year and has shared some truly remarkable memories with you. We’ve had an actionpacked year from meeting wonderful individuals who are slowly changing their communities one step at a time to covering campaigns that shows a proactive community who are willing to fight for their beloved home towns.

extra mile to serve others, we would like to salute you and thank you for allowing us to share your sto ries. This year South Africans voted hoping for the best – many are now glued to the parliament ses sion coverage because you never know what to ex pect. In 2015 we will be joining the queues for the byelections and once again, hoping for positive change. We know we live in a beautiful city and another reason to be a proud Durbanite is Durban has been voted an official new Seven Wonder City of the world. The picturesque beaches, rolling hills and breathtaking skyline together with a host of won derful inhabitants, sets us apart from the rest of South Africa. After 40 years, the Miss World title is held by a South African.

Rolene Strauss was crowned Miss World at the weekend and now features in a long list of remarka ble women who continue to make a difference to the countries they live in and the world. South Africans also took time through out the year to remember Nelson Mandela and do their bit to fulfill his legacy. It’s been a year since his death and many ques tioned the stability and patriotism of South Afri cans. The good news is, it seems as if communities are now more united than ever. Many believe his spirit still lives on calling it a sprinkling of ‘Madiba magic’. Clearly South Africans will continue to make great strides despite the negative news that some times comes to the fore. The Fever would like to wish all our fantastic cli ents and readers a wonderfully happy festive sea son and here’s to welcoming 2015 in style.

N 5 July at 7.45am, a British American Tobacco Volkswagen caddy was delivering cigarettes at a store in KwaCele, inland of Scottburgh, when the 31-year-old driver was allegedly held up by two armed men. The suspects made off with thousands of rands worth of cigarettes, money and a cellphone. Charges of carjacking and armed robbery have been registered by the Scottburgh SAPS for investigation. “It is alleged that the driver was returning to his vehicle after delivering the cigarettes at the store, which is next to the Dududu main road in KwaCele, when the two suspects held him up with a firearm. One of the suspects drove the caddy, taking the driver along them,” said LieutenantColonel Thulani Zwane. “As the suspects turned into a side dirt road, they demanded money and the [caddy] panic button from the driver, who replied that he did not have either.

The suspects’ accomplices were in a Volkswagen Jetta, which was then loaded with several stolen cartons of cigarettes. When the car was full, the remaining cartons were left on the road. Leaving the driver behind, the suspects drove the caddy further up the dirt road where they abandoned it and fled in the Jetta.” The Scottburgh SAPS response crew and detectives attended the scene. They were joined later by a forensic expert from the Port Shepstone Local Criminal Record Centre, who combed the scene for forensic evidence. At 2.30pm on 6 July, armed with information provided by Scottburgh Crime Intelligence, members of the Scottburgh Detective Task Team, Umzinto K9 unit, Umzinto Task Team, Scottburgh Crime Intelligence and Scottburgh Crime Prevention unit lay in wait on the N2 at Umkomaas. “As the Jetta and a white Toyota Quantum taxi passed, a high speed

Police managed to pull the taxi over at Winklespruit, but the Jetta was lost in the chase. The driver of the taxi and his two passengers were placed under arrest and the taxi was impounded,” said Zwane. All the stolen cigarettes were recovered in the taxi. The driver of the taxi is from Dududu while the other two suspects are from KwaMashu. All three arrested men were detained and appeared in the Scottburgh Magistrate’s Court on Thursday, 7 July on charges of carjacking and armed robbery. The case was remanded until 28 July and the suspects remain in custody. “This indicates that the police officials are not tolerating any illegal behaviour. It is hoped that this arrest will send a clear message that we will arrest all those who break the law, said KZN Acting Provincial Commissioner, Bhekinkosi Langa.

>> ‘I literally decided a week before the July I was going to do it’ TANIA SANDBERG Tania.Sandberg@media24.com

ASHION designer, Madelain Clark’s designs made headlines at the Vodacom July on the weekend. Her “Classic Ladies Race Day” outfit achieved first place, while her trendy hat design was selected in the top 10 hat designs, earning her prizes valued at R30 000. Although Clark has been an invited designer for the event in the past, she was initially not planning to enter this year. “I literally decided a week before the Vodacom July I was going to do it,” says Clark. The Ladies Classic Race Day outfit was modelled by Kirsten Holpert. “You have to design to a theme and this year the theme was ‘Leader of the Pack’, which represents cards. I took my inspiration from spades, but tried not to take it literal. I incorporated into the theme what is considered fashion ‘now’ and tried to keep it classy and sophisticated. “I also used spades as my inspiration for the white and black background, but I wanted to make it more feminine, because is quite a hard theme, so I used lace to appliqué onto the body suit and also made a bonnet, a spade, out of lace. “For the rest, I used trends that are ‘now’. I always look at what I wear, I feel the July outfits should be classical, sophisticated, feel good and be comfortable, because it is a whole day event,” she said. Current trends Clark considered are high waist pants, one pieces and palazzo pants, which are making a comeback. She said she “took a flying shot” at the hat entry, which is a new category and her instinct proved right as she

The top 10 then compete on the main stage where the top outfits are selected. “I chose Gugu Simangele to model the hat. The press loved her - she was so different from the rest. “The wired hat took me two days. I also now look differently at the guys who do wire work, it is hard work. On July day, I got the models up at 5am and did the make-up and styling.”. Clark studied at Witwatersrand where she completed her national

diploma in fashion design. She then started her career in Durban, where she worked for a clothing factory, supplying chain stores. “It was excellent in providing me with experience, but very limited when it came to designing. I went overseas and when I returned to Toti, I started working from home. I made a matric dance dress and things snowballed from there,” the designer said. And snowballed it did, among her top acqualades are being an invited designer for the July, designing for Fashion Week and dressing top celebrities. But for this soulful designer,

Add your weight on Mandela Day EXCITEMENT is mounting at The Domino Foundation as the countdown for this year's International Mandela Day on 18 July has begun.

Participants can choose between three activities, each designed to assist our community in a multitude of ways. “We have allocated 60-minute time slots per station ranging from 9am to 2pm throughout the day. Simply choose an activity, select a desired time slot, gather the required items listed

below and attend our Mandela Day festivities on Monday 18 July at Seadoone Mall, Amanzimtoti,” said foundation spokesperson, Megan Rich. “Once you have completed your 60minute activity, we encourage you to join us for refreshments as you use your remaining seven minutes to get to know more about who we are as domino and what we do.” To get involved log onto www.domino.org.za/mandeladay.htm Activities: Action station 1: Sarmie stack Spend your #67minutes at the Sarmie Stack Station and make peanut butter sandwiches for the hungry in our community.

dressing her community for balls, special occasions and weddings still lie close to her heart. Her advice to young designers is that one should firstly have love for the job and some talent. “It is not just glamour as portrayed in shows like Bold and Beautiful, you need to go through the motions, and start at the bottom. There is so much

talent out there. You also need to be a business person to be able to market your product effectively. It is hard work, there are no office hours as we work on deadlines,” Clark said. Given this, she still regards the job as very rewarding. “In the beginning, I even forgot to charge people, it is just priceless when the bride tries on her dress and cries,” she said.

Donate blood on Mandela Day ONCE again, the global community will celebrate Mandela Day in July, a day in which citizens the world over are called on to give 67 minutes of their time to make a difference. Nelson Mandela Day is a philanthropic occasion that challenges people and reminds them that it is “time to serve” and not just on 18 July. This would instill in blood donors a culture of and making a difference throughout the year by donating blood regularly. Blood donors are in the privileged position to give somebody a second chance at life and this Mandela Month SANBS encourages South Africans to donate today and give someone a tomorrow. Show your support and join them at the Mandela Day Blood Drive at Scottburgh Town Hall, 20 Airth Street from 12pm to6pm. Each donor will receive a token of appreciation. Although SANBS collects over one million units of blood annually at its 87 fixed donor centres and through daily blood drives managed by 100 mobile teams, there are instances when the organisation falls short of the 3 000 units of blood required to meet daily demands. “The blood reserves are low this July and since it is Nelson Mandela Day we would like to inspire the public to choose blood donations as their continued act of kindness. There is no better way to honour the life and spirit of a man who epitomised the precious value of life than to donate blood and save the lives of accident victims, mothers in labour, cancer patients and thousands others,” said Mohamed Chan Goolam, SANBS Public Relations Practitioner. SANBS is a non-profit organisation that provides patients with sufficient, safe, quality blood products and related medical services in a sustainable manner. It is rated among the best in the world in the provision of blood and blood products, as well as research and training. The blood donor experience Giving blood is simple. You need to be healthy and meet a few requirements, then you could be on your way to becoming a blood donor. When you arrive at a mobile blood drive or donor centre, you will be greeted by our friendly trained staff who will be easily identifiable, who will ask you to complete a form by filling in your personal details and answering health and lifestylerelated questions. • To give blood, you must weigh at least 50kgs and be between 16-65 years old. • Your finger will be pricked each time you donate blood. This is to test your iron level to make sure you are fit to give blood. • Your blood pressure and pulse will be checked regularly. • Each blood donation will be about 480ml. • Your body will quickly replace this small blood loss. - Supplied.

Forensic document examiner reveals all >> Expert is the only private KZN forensic document examiner TANIA SANDBERG Tania.Sandberg@media24.com

NE of the most interesting conversations one can have is with a forensic document examiner. A chance meeting with a friend, Patricia McCann, chairperson of the Upper South Coast Art Association, led to me to interviewing Amanzimtoti resident, Mike Irving, a private forensic document examiner, and getting the lowdown on his specialised work. Irving is the only private forensic document examiner in KZN and one of only nine in South Africa. We begin the interview with Irving asking me to write my signature three times. He shows me the natural stops in my signature and says that although one’s signature is never the same, these are several characteristics which identify whether the same person signed them. Irving explains that there is a one in 88 trillion chance that your handwriting will match someone else’s. Irving is a founder member of The South African Association of Forensic Document Examiners, established in March 2008. While employed as an investigator by a Durban investigative business in 1995, the need for a local document examiner was identified. Training is not offered locally and Irving undertook a correspondence course, conducted by Andrew Bradley and Associates. Bradley is fully accredited by the U.S., and retired in 2002. Irving has completed 1 790 cases over the past 20 years, many of which required testifying in court and many of which involved hundreds of documents. His experience as a former Zimbabwean policeman has served him well in giving testimony in court. Fever reporter TANIA SANDBERG

meeting in court. All three of us gave the same finding.” TS: Can a forensic examiner tell a person’s personality by their handwriting? MI: “No, that is graphology. The term ‘handwriting expert’ instead of ‘forensic examiner’ is frequently used in South African court situations and is misleading as examiners often delve into areas where technical and scientific processes and equipment are required to support examinations that extend beyond ‘handwriting and signature authentication’, such as examinations of inks, paper conditions, rubber stamps, typing, etc. But the majority of examinations are conducted in relation to the authentication of handwriting and signatures.” TS: What tools does a forensic examiner require?

>> Teaching children about gardening equips them with the skill to survive

HE Toti Saints came marching further south from their recent beach project to help create a food forest at Mother of Peace (MoP) in Illovo. MoP is home and family to 70 orphaned and vulnerable children in need of care, providing an additional 30 children under the age of 10 with educational support through early childhood development intervention and Foundation Phase primary school education. In keeping with their sustainable goals, MoP started an additional garden this year to meet their goal to produce at least 70% of the fruit and vegetables they consume. With a small community of over 100 children and adults and the additional support that MoP renders to impoverished families in the Inkwali area, it became necessary to expand on what they have in order to meet growing needs. It was fate that brought volunteers, Gerhard van Rooyen and Thabile Gasa to MoP. They have extensive experience in organic gardens and permaculture and made it their mission to turn the newly started cabbage patch into a thriving organic garden based on permaculture principles. Van Rooyen arranged with Toti

Toti Saints members create a food garden at MoP. Saints to visit MoP on Sunday, 26 June to fast-track the preparation of three beds and the food forest, inviting people to bring seedlings or trees to plant. Caroline Grix from Toti Saints extended the invitation to families and children during the school holidays to take a tree or seedlings to plant on Tuesdays between 10am and 12pm. “If you teach a man to fish, he has the skill to provide for himself and won’t go hungry. Teaching children from a young age about gardening and getting them involved equips them with the skill to survive. The way we have introduced permaculture principles in this garden has yielded quick results with lush vegetables. This is an immediate goal. The food forest is a long-term goal,” said Van Rooyen.

He called on the Toti community to join in and help feed the hungry and adopt the principles learnt to create gardens at home to improve food security. Asked about the goals of the project Iris Canham, MoP general manager said: “The immediate goals are selfconsumption and education. We have always had some form of a sustainability programme weaved into our school curriculum. Now children can learn about permaculture, nutrition, and the environment. It is very interesting. Housemothers and caregivers will also be trained on whole foods and the utilisation of vegetables, ways to grow vegetables, energy saving, nutrition, etc. The first training session since the new gardens have started will take place this week.

Toti Saints member Thabile Gasa assists. “The next step would be to partner with organisations for the training of the greater community to enhance food security. With escalating food prices, we must return to basics and grow our food.” MoP thanks the Toti Saints and all who invested time and other resources in this project. This Mandela Month individuals, families, organisations and companies are invited to partner with MoP in creating a food forest that will feed hundreds of people while investing in

the skill and education of children and adults so that we become a food secure nation. Van Rooyen and Gaza encourage people to grow food not lawns.

PROPOSED EXPROPRIATION OF SERVITUDES FOR THE CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION OF THE NUNGWANE RAW WATER PIPELINE: INVITATION TO MAKE REPRESENTATIONS 1. Umgeni Water Board (“Umgeni”) intends to construct an underground pipeline to convey water through the Vulamehlo Local Municipality and Ethekwini Municipality of KwaZulu-Natal. The pipeline will consist of a 13,6 km line from Nungwane Dam to the Amanzimtoti Water Treatment Plant. 2. To construct, install and operate the pipeline Umgeni Water Board must acquire servitudes over properties along the route of the pipeline. Umgeni has concluded Servitude Agreements with most of the Owners of the affected properties. 3. In respect of the Properties set out more fully in paragraph 5 below, Servitude Agreements have not been concluded. Umgeni proposes that the Chairman of the Board of Umgeni exercises his and Umgeni Water Board’s power of expropriation to expropriate the servitudes, by the issuing of a notice of expropriation (“the expropriation notice”) under section 74 as read with section 81 of the Water Services Act, 108 of 1997 (“the Water Services Act”), read with sections 7 to 15 and 18 to 23 of the Expropriation Act, 1975 (“the Expropriation Act”) and Section 25 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996 (“the Constitution”) (“the proposed expropriation”). 4. Umgeni has engaged with most of the Owners of the affected properties and known limited real right holders thereof. Despite reasonable endeavours to ascertain the identity and contact details of the Owners and other potentially interested and affected parties of the Properties as set out in paragraph 5, Umgeni Water Board is not certain that it has complete information. The purpose of this notice is to inform these Owners and any other interested and affected parties in respect of the properties of the proposed expropriation. 5. The properties affected by the proposed expropriation are the following: PROPERTY DESCRIPTION

SERVICE GUIDE

THE Upper South Coast Art Association will be holding its July meeting in the Activities Hall of the Amanzimtoti Library on 16 July. The meeting will begin at 2pm and end at approximately 4pm. Refreshments will be supplied for a small fee. The demo this month will be given by Jennifer Sutton. She feels a painting should portray the soul of the artist, capturing the mood, and essence of the scene, with the ability to move the person who happened to stop and gaze at what perchance caught their eye. Sutton was born in Durban, grew up in Dundee, went to school at St Johns and lives in Waterfall. As a child she was always drawing, colouring in and painting. It was only later in life that she was fortunate to start painting, finding what mediums suited her, and what she really enjoyed. Sutton says that to paint each day is a privilege, which she loves sharing with others. Her subject matter is varied and she work in oils and polychromos pencil crayons.

“Painting for me has to be picture perfect. I enjoy portraying a vision, capturing the mood and the movement. I derive immense pleasure from the detail, the magic of colour, and I have a great need to capture the light. “When I have completed a painting, I never want to part with it. It is as if the painting has become a part of me. Painting for me is like walking in the mist, crying in the rain, and laughing in the sunshine, a feeling of being alive.” The afternoon meeting will be preceded by a drawing session, which is open to the public, with no charge. The session will begin at 9am and end approximately at 12pm. The drawing session this month will be conducted by Venila Govendar and her emphasis will be on Cubism - Picasso style.

Explore more with Renault M

ORE than 10 000 people have bought a Renault Duster since its September 2013 launch, and to mark this milestone, Renault has launched a limited Explore edition of its popular sport utility vehicle. Selling for R258 900, the 4x2 Explore comes with an array of onboard extras.

But, warns Renault’s product manager Jeffrey Allison, you’d have to put foot to get one, for they mean what they say with “limited edition”. Allison said only 100 units of the Explore edition will be sold in South Africa, all at the same price as the standard Renault Duster 1,6 16V Dynamique 4x2.

Page 11

Lo ts extra, except the price Allison said all Renault models are known for being “allinclusive” with their specification levels, intelligent technolo gies as well as active and passive safety features and fitments. The Renault Duster SUV lineup is no exception. An upgrade of its 1,6 Dynamique

4x2 sibling, the Duster 1,6 77 kW Dynamiq ue 4x2 Limited Edition Explore comes with even more equipment included. • Dusterbranded nudge bar. • New Limited Edition 16inch alloy wheels. • Wheel arch protectors. • Reverse camera. Under the hood Renault’s 1,6 16 V petrol engine has received high praise for its reliability and top performance. Naturally aspirated, this popular pow

erplant produces maximum power output of 77 kW at 5 750 rpm and peak torque of 148 Nm at 3 750 rpm, while maintaining enviable fuel consumption levels (7,6 li tres per 100 km in the combined cycle). The Duster Dynamique Limited Edition Explore is as at home on highways, in cities and suburbs as it is off the beaten track. Pressing all the right buttons for a new breed of driver with diverse demands behind the wheel, the 1,6 16 V engine deliv ers driving pleasure and absolute peace of mind whatever the road conditions. An authentic SUV that’s tough, unpretentious and versatile, the Renault Duster SUV is the proven fit for any individual or family seeking adventure. What the owners said Rugged and reliable, Renault’s Duster SUV is just the ticket to take the family al most anywhere. The first Renault model designed to meet stringent European standards, yet be capable of conquering international markets where usage and road conditions are considerably more rugged, the Renault Duster lineup continues to be a formidable contender in South Africa’s BSUV segment. Warranties and service plan As is the case across Renault’s entire product range, the Duster 1,6 77 kW Dyna mique 4x2 Limited Edition Explore comes with a fiveyear/150 000 km mechanical warranty. Standard on the Duster range is a threeyear/45 000 km service plan (with service intervals at 15 000 km intervals) and a sixyear anticorrosion warranty. Supplied.
