A number of reasons to celebrate
amanzimtoti www.hillcrestfever.co.za
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. To those people who are continuously going the
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.

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.

Protest against Transnet planned >> SDCEA is calling people to support the campaign in numbers TANIA SANDBERG Tania.Sandberg@media24.com

N 27 April a mass demonstration is planned as action against Transnet and unsustainable development focusing on the proposed new port and turning Clairwood racecourse into a container park. Through the peaceful protest, the South Durban Community Environmental Alliance (SDCEA) aims to highlight concerns to government and Transnet about the Durban South Basin. The organisation is calling people to support the campaign in numbers. “South Africa does not have the economy for these new infrastructure projects. Who will finance them? If government assists with funding it is our money that we are investing in something that will destroy us, let alone the issues we will face as a nation if we borrow outside the country,” said SDCEA Environmental Project Officer, Priya Pillay. “The Clairwood racecourse is 95 years old. It was established in 1921 to provide a sporting and recreation facility to the community and an opportunity to interact. It is the only ‘green lung’ left in this industrial area. The racecourse was bought by Capital Property Fund, recently

We suggested they look at light industry and even housing instead of a container park. We were told ‘it is not the profit margin we are looking for’,” Pillay said. “The SDCEA will draw up the legal documents and deal with the legal issues. We are asking the public to be active, to come out in their thousands and support us. “The proposed container park at the racecourse will result in 2 000 more trucks per hour on our road and many more accidents. Thousands of people commute daily and use that intersection to get to the city and will be affected with traffic congestion.” She added the road going past the course is a residential road, not designed to carry trucks. The SDCEA
is asking why can’t companies use the railway for transport. It is safer and environmentally friendly and trains can transport more containers at a time. According to Pillay, an environmental impact assessment (EIA) was carried out for the Clairwood racecourse, but traffic assessments for the project was done during the December school holidays and did not take into consideration children commuting to schools in the area. “Children from Wentworth, Isipingo, Lamontville and Umlazi attend schools in the area, their parents and grandparents work in the area. People travel daily from Amanzimtoti to Durban, so not only will our community suffer, but also outside communities,” she said. The SDCEA captures truck
prostitution and drug dealers frequenting the area. The air quality in the area will also be adversely affected with the truck emissions. “On top of the existing M4 and N2 traffic, air pollution is already at unacceptable levels in the South Durban Basin, Clairwood, Mobeni and Jacobs, and yet still not a priority area according to government,” said Mthembu. He said the health impact of the high levels of pollution is the high rate of cancer, leukemia, asthma and other respiratory diseases. To support the protest against Transnet, and unsustainable industries, people are asked to meet at the Durban container port terminals (Langeberg and Bayhead roads) at 10am on Wednesday 27 April.

Debris recently found near Mossel Bay, which might be part of an aircraft engine.
THE University of Cape Town, Department of Environmental and Geographical Science, asks the public, who walk along the beach, to be on the lookout for anything which might resemble debris from the missing aircraft. They are asked to photograph it and then alert the nearest police station and the SA Civil Aviation Authority (SACAA). Experts working on the debris found recently confirmed it to be from the missing Malaysian plane flight MH370 which went missing on 8 March, 2014 and have stated there have been four finds of floating debris that have either been confirmed or are considered highly likely to be from MH370. For instance the Boeing 7772H6ER aircraft registered as 9M-MRO, was found in Mauritius, Mozambique and Mossel Bay.

>> New premises old tennis courts
Skateboard park opens in Warners
TANIA SANDBERG >>tania.sandberg@media24.com

MANZIMTOTI’s skate park has been relocated to a more suitable venue, the old tennis courts in Warner Beach. It can be accessed from the parking lot at Warnerdoone Beach or from the gravel road behind the Warnerdoone Ski-Boat Club. Founder of the initiative, Raymond Wittstock, said the courts were one of his original venues for consideration, but was used by tennis players three years ago when he initiated the first park. When he saw children skating on the old tennis courts recently, he decided to relook into establishing the park, which was previously in Isundu Drive, at the new venue. He subsequently approached eThekwini Parks Department and received a verbal go-ahead. A group of interested parties got together and started cleaning up and moving the ramps to the new area and the park was officially opened on Sunday, when skateboard enthusiasts got together to help clean up and enjoy hotdogs and cool drinks sponsored to them. Wittstock is keen on developing the sport in the area, with the assistance of fellow groundbreaker Bruce Callaghan. The park is in high demand as recently the skateboard parks in shopping centres like Pavilion and Gateway have closed and plans are
RESIDENTS of the greater Amanzimtoti and Umkomaas area are invited to attend and obtain clarity on the budget proposals. “As questions and critique are often raised, these platforms create excellent opportunity to engage officials and make recommendations” said Ward 97 Cllr André Beetge. An information and discussion session on the eThekwini Municipal 2016/17 draft budget will be presented by head of revenue, Peet du Plessis in the Amanzimtoti Civic Centre on Thursday 21 April at 6pm. - Supplied.
Comment on city plans called for being considered to utilise the railway line to bring skateboarders from Durban and surrounds to the park and to establish parks in other venues, including the Bluff. “We would like to call on the public to please donate their unused skateboards to the park for the purpose of developing the sport,” said Wittstock. He can be contacted on 082 826 5398.

Against Substance Abuse Purple Drank PURPLE Drank is a mixture of a prescription cold medication with a soda drink like Sprite. The main addictive substance in Purple Drank is the codeine, which is an opiate. The ingredients combined make a purple liquid that is then sipped until euphoria and dissociation from one’s body occur. These effects will last between three and six hours. There are numerous slang terms for purple drank, including sizzurp, lean, syrup, drank, barre, purple jelly, Texas tea, dirty Sprite and Tsikuni. According to Houston-based au-

thor Lance Scott Walker, purple drank developed in that city around the 1960s when blues musicians would take Robitussin (over-thecounter and prescription cough and cold medicines) and cut it with beer. A former addict stated he first encountered it in Durban in 2014, now he says that abuse of the mixture is rapidly growing in popularity with the youth in Ngwelezana and Empangeni. “Everything is slowed. It feels as though you’re vibrating, you can’t focus on anything when you’re on it, you can’t remember anything.”

THE eThekwini Municipality is calling on the public to comment on the draft Integrated Development Plan (IDP) for the 2016/17 financial year. The IDP, a requirement of the Municipal Systems Act of 2000, is a crucial driver for development in all municipalities. The document guides and informs all planning, budgeting, management and decision-making related to delivering services and development in the municipal area. The strategic approach of the IDP is underpinned by the city’s long-term development plan and is also informed by global, national and provincial policies such as the sustainable development goals, national development plan and provincial growth and development strategy. The IDP consists of eight plans that will help the city achieve its vision of becoming Africa’s most caring and liveable city. These include, developing and sustaining our spatial, natural and built environment, developing a prosperous, diverse economy and employment creation, creating a quality living environment, fostering a socially equitable environment, creating a platform for growth, empowerment and skills development, embracing our cultural diversity, arts and heritage, fostering good governance and responsive local government and creating a financially accountable and sustainable city. Each plan has a set of deliverables which informs the city’s budget and by which the city’s performance is monitored. The formulation of the budget takes the above plans into account so as to ensure that the city’s strategic objectives are achieved. A service delivery budget implementation plan is thereafter compiled to monitor the implementation of the various programmes and projects contained within each plan. An annual report is compiled at the end of the financial year, which gives an assessment of the year’s activities as recorded by the municipality’s assessment tools. The draft IDP is available on the municipality’s website www.durban.gov.za and will also be placed in municipal libraries and Sizakala Centres. Stakeholders are requested to provide written comment on the draft IDP. Comments can be sent to Puven Akkiah, Corporate Policy Unit, 11nd Floor, Nedbank Building, 458 Smith Street, Durban or email Puvendra.Akkiah@dur ban.gov.za Closing date for comment is 2 May. - Supplied.

Conservancy to hold AGM TOTI Conservancy is having its annual general meeting on 25 April at 6pm at the Church of the Good Shepherd at 615 Kingsway Rd, Amanzimtoti. The
HE Kingsway Cancer Group, which meets at Kingsway Hospital once a month on the second Wednesday of the month at 4pm, discussed the effects of cancer treatments on patient’s hearing. “Some chemotherapy drugs, other medications, or radiation needed for treatment of cancer can damage hearing. If you received these treatments, it is important to have your hearing checked and to obtain treatment if hearing loss is found,” guest speaker, Shaistha Sadek, an audiologist from Kind-2-Hearing said. She said “ototoxicity” can be described as a temporary or permanent hearing loss because of medication (chemotherapy), or chemicals (radiation therapy). The hearing loss may be reversible or permanent, depending on the type of treatment used and the extent of hearing damage involved. According to Sadek, there are two types of hearing losses associated with ototoxicity: • Sensorineural hearing loss (SHL) refers to damage to the inner ear. This type of hearing loss is usually associated with chemotherapy medication and is often permanent and irreversible; and • Conductive hearing loss (CHL) refers to damage to the outer or middle ear (the tiny bones of the middle ear). This hearing loss is associated

with radiation therapy, and can be temporary and reversible. She said the following cancer treatments can potentially cause hearing loss: • Chemotherapy from the “platinum” group, such as Cisplatin or high doses of Carboplatin. • High doses of radiation to the head or brain, especially when the beam is directed at the brainstem or ear.
• Surgery involving the brain, ear or auditory (eighth cranial) nerve. • Certain antibiotics (medicines used to treat infections) and diuretics (medicines that help the body get rid of excess water). Sadek recommended testing and monitoring by an experienced audiologist. Earlier this month Kind-2-Hearing in Seadoone Mall donated new hearing aids to seniors. - Supplied.

Over the next few months this will be followed with a mentoring programme assisting attendees on various other aspects like legalities around business establishment, compiling a good business plan and various forms of funding. It also requires input from young entrepreneurs, the first challenge being to establish contact with as many other businesses, entrepreneurs and prospect clients as possible. The attendee who establishes the most possible business contacts within a given time will be given a R500 prize.
Although there were not many prospect entrepreneurs who attended this first course, those who did attend generally found it extremely worthwhile. This was not the last chance for entrepreneurs wishing to enhance their entrepreneurial skills. There will be more courses like this presented in the future. Entrepreneurs create most of the employment opportunities and make a huge contribution to economic growth worldwide and especially in South Africa. Entrepreneurship development and training is one of the AHi's main activities, as entrepreneurs are the biggest creators of employment in these economically exciting times. In this way the AHI helps to create a strong middle-class. - Supplied.

REVEREND ANDREW MANNING I LOVE the season of autumn, the poet Keats described it as a “season of mists and mellow fruitfulness, Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun”. Here at the coast it's true impact is only experienced as a fleeting moment at around dawn when you get a sense of it, before the heat takes over again. But in that moment of the cool breeze my autumns spent in the interior flood my mind and I'm reminded of the changing seasons of life. We all have those moments that are given meaning more from our past experiences than our current circumstances. This could explain why letting go of the past is so hard. Our true context is the sum of our experience more than the fleeting moment of our present circumstance. We often only consider the seemingly influential moments of our past, but the autumn mornings whispering of change, though in themselves uneventful, have shaped
our minds and hearts and effected all about the interaction between our reactions to our current (so us and them. called) realities.

Kosblikkieprojek help kleuters D
IE waarde van Helpende Hand se Kosblikkieprojek het weer aan die lig gekom nadat studie gedoen is op kinders wat oor die Kerstyd minder kos ontvang as wat hulle gedurende ‘n skooldag by die Kosblikkie-voedingsprogram ontvang. Hierdie kleuters het nie net nie gegroei nie, maar het inderwaarheid drasties gewig verloor. Die Kosblikkieprojek is daarop gemik om gesonde voeding aan behoeftige kleuters te voorsien gedurende skooltyd. Helpende Hand het in Desember 2015 die mates geneem van kleuters wat deel uitmaak van die Kosblikkieprojek. Dieselfde kleuters se mates is weer in Januarie geneem om te sien hoeveel die kinders gegroei het met die doel om te bepaal of hulle gedurende dié tydperk voldoende voeding ontvang het. Die kleuterskole was tydens Desember gesluit en kleuters het dus nie kos ontvang nie. “In van die ergste gevalle het driejarige seuntjie 5% van sy liggaamsmassa verloor oor die Desembervakansie,” sê Margolé Riekert,
Seuntjies geniet hulle kos, danksy die Kosblikkie projek se bekend stelling. FOTO: VERSKAF
projekorganiseerder by Helpende Hand. “ Verlies van 5% in liggaamsmassa is baie vir ’n kind van drie. Gelukkig het ons dit opgemerk gedurende die ondersoek en het hy op die voedingsprogram teen einde Maart weer 4,6% van die massa bygekry,” het Riekert bygevoeg. Volgens die studie het die meeste kleuters liggaamsmassa verloor. Slegs
7% van die kleuters het normale groei getoon. Bykans 93% van kleuters het abnormale gewigsverlies getoon. ’n Gemiddelde verlies van 2% of 300 g is na die vakansie by die kleuters opgemerk. Danksy deeglike voeding deur die Kosblikkieprojek het die gemiddelde massa weer met 4,3% gestyg. Volgens Adel Rens, ’n dieetkundige, help optimale voeding kinders nie net om fisies te groei nie, maar ook om
kognitief te ontwikkel. “Sonder optimale voeding kan kinders ’n lewenslange agterstand ervaar, veral in akademiese prestasie. Die tydperk waarin die kleuters hulself bevind, is hul heel belangrikste tyd vir optimale ontwikkeling - fisies, emosioneel, sosiaal en veral kognitief. Die waarde van ‘n program soos Helpende Hand wat voeding verskaf aan kinders in hierdie belangrike vormingsjare, kan dus nie oorbeklemtoon word nie,” sê Rens. Om seker te maak dat wanvoeding en ondervoeding reeds vroeg uitgeken word, sal Helpende Hand voortaan vir elke kleuterskool wat deel van die Kosblikkieprojek uitmaak, MUACmaatband en ’n groeikaart verskaf om vroegtydig op te merk wanneer kinders ondervoed is. Die MUAC-maatband word deur die Wêreldgesondheidsorganisasie (WGO) versprei en dui die gewig en lengte vir seuns en dogters tussen die ouderdomme twee en vyf jaar aan.

Hand, glo die organisasie vas dat daar deur opvoeding einde aan armoede gemaak kan word. Daarom is die Kosblikkieprojek geskep om seker te maak dat arm kleuters die nodige voeding kry om suksesvol te ontwikkel en om te kan leer. Die projek gee op daaglikse basis kos vir meer as 4 500 kleuters. Die projek word voortdurend gemonitor om seker te maak dat daar optimaal in kinders se behoeftes voorsien word. Die publiek word aangemoedig om die projek te ondersteun. SMS die woord “bord” na 38969 om R10 te skenk en ’n bydrae te maak tot ’n gesonde bord kos vir ’n kleuter.

Bobbi Bear’s Jackie Branfield conducted the presentation which helps teachers create awareness and education regarding HIV, using toys. “Our goal was to recognise the importance of educating
children at preschool level to prevent the risk of infection. We therefore empowered a group of teachers with skills on how to use the toys to facilitate learning about the virus,” said senior social worker Sandra Govender. Should early children’s development centres require training on HIV/Aids Edu-Toys, they must contact Govender or Janette on

Setsuna takes design week by STORM >> Opentop twoseater was the focus of Toyota’s first appearance at the Milan Design Week
I
T’S a no brainer that modern-day Milan in Italy has become synonymous with style, which makes it the perfect city to launch Toyota latest design marvel concept – Setsuna. To call it a “design marvel” is no exaggeration, as it is a drivable car that is predominantly made from wood. The
open-top two-seater was the focus of Toyota’s first appearance at the Milan Design Week - 12 – 17 April. The reason to use wood as the primary material for Setsuna’s construction was to express the notion that love grows as time passes, and changes in colour and feel in direct re-
sponse to the love and care shown to it. The Setsuna symbolises how cars undergo a gradual transformation over the years, as if absorbing the aspirations, memories and emotions of multiple generations of a family. With the Setsuna concept, Toyota is expressing the notion that, as a family
accrues time and experiences together with their car, lovingly caring for it and passing it on to the next generation, that car will acquire a new type of value that only the members of that family can appreciate. The car’s name – Setsuna, meaning “moment” in Japanese – was chosen to reflect that people experience precious, fleeting moments together with their cars. Toyota believes that, over time, these collective moments make their cars irreplaceable to their owners. However, the Setsuna is not a piece of furniture – it is a fully functioning car, although not road-legal. For this reason, different types of wood were chosen for specific parts of the vehicle – including Japanese cedar, with its vivid grain and flexibility for the exterior panels; strong and rigid Japanese birch for the frame; hard-wearing
Japanese zelkova for the seats; and smooth-textured castor aralia for the seats. The panels feature different grain patterns in the cedar, achieved with straight and cross-cutting of the raw timber, creating attractive contrasts. The concept of an “accumulation of moments” is expressed through the vehicle’s radial, circular emblem. While giving the impression of a blooming flower, the design also evokes the appearance of a clock that shows each individual moment. It is a symbol of hope that both family and car will grow together, just as trees grow larger and stronger ring by ring. While it’s also worth noting that there were no screws or nails used to assemble the Setsuna, its body comprises 86 handmade panels. Considerable thought was given to the design and creation of the panels, each of which offers unique changes as the car ages. If repairs become necessary, individual panels can be replaced rather than large sections of body. It should then be possible for owners to identify areas of the car where remedial work has been done by hand, adding to the memories being passed down. To create contrasting elements within the overall design, aluminium has been adopted in parts such as the wheel caps, steering wheel and seat frames. Like wood and leather, metal is also known to change appearance over time, making it a material that will also develop its own unique look and character. On design, Kenji Tsuji, Toyota engineer overseeing development of the Setsuna, says: “The completed body line of the Setsuna expresses a beautiful curve reminiscent of a boat. We would also like the viewer to imagine how the Setsuna will gradually develop a complex and unique character over the years. The car includes a 100-year metre that will keep time over generations, and seats that combine functional beauty with the gentle hue of the wood.” - Supplied

anniversary this year. Those who have competed in the previous Winkle club competitions know that this is one not to be missed because of its unique format (four fishermen per team fished over two days), excellent atmosphere among competitors,
the array of prizes (total prize value in excess of R150 000) and it’s a great time of the year to be out on the water. Anyone who wishes to fish, but does not have a full team to enter
20 April 2016 can either fish as an individual and be in line to win prizes for the biggest fish or various lucky draw prizes but will not be eligible for team prizes. Alternatively, you can put your names forward and the committee will put you in contact with other individuals also looking to form a team. Non-fishermen are also welcome to join the festivities at the club where you will find hamburgers and wors rolls on sale. A portion of the funds raised in this competition goes to the Winklespruit Life Saving Club, which relies heavily on fund-raising to maintain its high standards. The competition will run this Saturday and Sunday.
