A number of reasons to celebrate
This week ONLINE
amanzimtoti
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.

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.

Rural development strategy IN a bid to create investment, urban recreational and service nodes in rural areas throughout eThekwini Municipality, full council approved the rural development strategy. During a full council meeting on, 22 June, it was revealed that the strategy aims to provide a framework to ensure delivery to rural areas, empowering communities and improving their lives. The implementation of the strategy includes, among other actions, the need for a number of detailed plans to be undertaken in order to realise the spatial Planning and Land Use Management Act requirements of developing wall to wall schemes within its boundary. There are also new projects that are being initiated in these areas which include Umbumbulu Town Centre Scheme (under way); Nsimbini Scheme (planned) and many others to follow. Relocation of Lady in White statue The “Lady in White” statue is temporary relocating. This is after council approved the relocation of the statue from the harbour to the Port Natal Maritime Museum. The statue is being temporary relocated to allow Portnet to complete its construction project and extension of the harbour. It will be returned once the construction is complete. There are no financial costs to council for the design, construction, installation as well as movement of the statue.

Curator earns prestigious award GABRIELLE Harris, curator of animal behaviour and guest experience at uShaka Sea World, epitomises an excellent animal keeper. She is passionate about her animals and has dedicated her life to their care and display. This passion for animals is equalled by her passion for conservation communication she achieves through the daily presentations at uShaka Marine World's Sea World. As the daughter of a practising veterinarian in Nelspruit, Harris was born into the animal world and grew up surrounded by nature and animals of all shapes and sizes. After finishing school she completed her BA at UKZN and started working at Sea World in 1990. According to South African Association for Marine & Biological (SAAMBR), Harris is the most experienced marine mammal trainer in South Africa and oversaw the move of the animals from the old Sea World to the new uShaka Marine World facility. The aim of uShaka Sea World is to inspire people to care for the oceans and Harris does just that. "I did not know what being in a relationship with an animal meant until I watched Gabby working with the dolphins," said colleague, Arenea Becker. "Over the years she has mentored and encouraged many mammal behaviourists, some of whom have gone on to have successful careers around the world." Harris was one of the founders of the Animal Keepers of Africa (AKA) and it is largely thanks to her energy and commitment that this group is still running. Adding to her achievements, Harris also created the Penguin Promises Campaign - a campaign that runs nationally and internationally under the auspices of Pan-African Association of Zoos and Aquaria (Paaza) and SAAMBR. With Harris not only being inspirational here, but also having claimed respect throughout the world, she is a worthy recipient of the 2016 Paaza Keeper of the Year award. - Supplied.

Chef Rev Whattocook syndrome S
CHOOL is out and it's that time of year again when the future of our land takes a well deserved break and pupils temporarily hide their backpacks and pencil cases away for the winter break. While this well-deserved break signals the mid-2016 insert “shock at how quickly the year has flown by”, parents are often faced with the “what-to-cook syndrome”. My name is Chef Rev from Pop-up Society and in this edition I hope to ease some of that cooking drama with a few simple ideas to keep the little ones happy and healthy. After spending time with friends with children, I was astounded to see what junk parents feed their offspring in a desperate effort to save time and cost. Being a trained chef I have a front-row seat to how easy it is to fall into these traps
ATHLONE Park Library will be hosting holiday activities for children between 10am and 11am between 28 June and 14 July. Everyone welcome.

of convenience cooking. Just last week, my good friend of many years, who I thought to be “food savvy”, fed her five-year-old fish fingers from a box. Oh, the trauma to my eyes, my spectacles steamed up as my blood boiled. To anyone else fish fingers from a box is a normal occurrence, but as a concerned chef who takes nutrition very seriously, I wondered if this convenience cooking was really faster and cheaper than a box of reconstituted fish … so I did a little experiment. It's turns out that my simple homemade fish fingers beat box fish fingers and the wonderful thing about this is that you know exactly what is going into your child's body. Home-made fish fingers Ingredients: frozen hake bread crumbs mixed herbs (optional) egg Method: Defrost hake and cut into strips. Dunk in lightly whisked egg then coat with breadcrumbs and mixed herbs. Fry - easy-peasy, lemon squeezy. This simple recipe literally shaved off about R7 per box and took the same amount of time as convenience cooking. Tastes good and healthier. No more excuses parents.
Children also seem to gravitate towards good ol' fashion sarmies: • Always try and sneak in some sliced lettuce or tomato. I find if you slice it into thin strips it's more difficult for them to remove. • Instead of using those “oh-so-nasty” cheese spreads try substituting with jam or mashed avocado. I also save curry sauce in a jar for spreads. • Remove butter and margarine completely. • Instead of using processed cold meat use tuna or beef mince. • Left-overs from the night before offer a great sandwich for the next day. Then comes my favourite, dessert. This is a wonderful creation I have just introduced in my Durban restaurant and is proving to be huge hit. Not very healthy, but extremely yummy and great fun for the children to make - it's called the cake-tini. It's like a martini, but for the family. There are many variations to this simple dessert, but here I have chosen chocolate. Melt chocolate and cream until your desired consistency, pour into martini glass. Add your favourite pudding such a chocolate brownie or mud cake. Whip left-over cream and chuck on top. Add fresh strawberries and serve warm. You can also use warm custard, white chocolate or just plain ice cream. For the adults add a shot of Amarula. Have a great start to the holidays, let me know what you thinkrev@popupsociety.co.za Until then happy dining.

Assisted living, now affordable TANIA SANDBERG

Have you got a favourite receipe that you would like to share with other readers? Send it to tania.sandberg@ media24.com
Tania.Sandberg@media24.com TWO years ago, Neil Kistnasamy took on the huge task to salvage an oldage home that was being closed down. He knew it would be challenging, but did not quite anticipate the stigma clinging to the building, as it was run by the initial owners. Despite facing and fighting this chal lenge Kistnasamy has changed things, pro viding affordable assisted living to retirees at the facility now called One Stop Retire ment Village. This could only be achieved because of Kistnasamy’s heart for community work. “I was in the pharmaceutical industry for 20 years and later worked at a pharmacy selling wheelchairs and walkers. I found people were paying too much for medicale quipment and many cannot afford it, so I started my own shop three years ago, offer ing this at reasonable costs. “The previous manager of the oldage home came to my shop and told me about residents who had nowhere to go and said the previous director had left for Johannes burg, and the income was not enough to sustain them and I knew I had to get in volved. We need the community to be more active in helping others in need,” he ex
plained. When Kistnasamy took over the build ing it was run down as it had been standing empty for months. “I was offered two months free rent, but it was extremely hard to get it to the current standard,” he said. Adding that he initially paid R64 000 for the building and a further R150 000 in water and electricity backlogs. The facility has 30 paying residents, but there is space for an additional 60. “To overcome the challenges, I have turned the first floor into lowcost living units. Anyone who cannot afford the high rental in the area now has access to three meals a day, laundry, water and lights at R100 per person per day,” he said. As a result many NGOs have already called on Kistnasamy and he has placed four families on behalf of Amanzimtoti Cares, and some families on behalf of the NG Kerk, both organisations are assisting the home with food donations. “There is a huge need in Toti as many people come to our town with no income and dreams of retiring at the coast,” he said. Kistnasamy added that the other chal lenges facing our community are the high rate of drug addiction and prostitution. “Many people cannot sustain them

selves and turn to drinking, drugs and prosti tution,” he said. “Churches are playing a role in assisting and we have assistance with feeding and goodsinkind donations, like curtains and linen. We have applied for an NPO number and are hoping to be a registered nonprofit organisation soon,” Kistnasamy said. Assisted living rates includes 24/7 nurs ing, three meals and two teas daily at ap proximately R200 per day. “We do not have any fancy things, but our facility is family orientated and I play an active role in all the residents’ lives,” Kistna samy said. The facility also has access specialist services such a physiotherapist and a GP who visits residents on request at the home. “Through these specialists we link resi dents with government hospitals and re
cently Kind2Hearing donated hearing aids to some of our residents,” Kistnasamy said. One Stop employs a registered nurse in charge of medical and four staff nurses as well as 16 caregivers. The facility also trains caregivers and issue them with certification, not accredited yet, but in the process there of. “I would like to thank the community for donating food parcels, books and furni ture. It is deeply appreciated. Also thanks to my pillars and dedicated staff members, resident nurse Nasmin Singh and Leshelle Savage, who stuck with me through the hard times and understood late salary pay ments,” Kistnasamy said. He called on the community to support them by recommending their assisted liv ing. For further information contact Kistna samy on 031 903 1317 or 031 811 9039.

Tania.Sandberg@media24.com GOLF coach David Graham is aiming to revive golf among the youth by bringing the SA Kids Golf initiative to Amanzimtoti. The initiative was started 16 years ago and is supported by the Professional Golfers Association and sanctioned by the South African Golf Association. “SA Kids Golf holds 24 events annually at various golf courses in Gauteng and 12 events annually in Mpumalanga and KwaZulu-Natal. In our province the initiative was initially handled by Mount Edgecombe Golf Club, but the focus became money instead of the sport and we would like

to bring it back to the sport,” Graham said. “SA Kids Golf has been awarded the rights to hold qualifying events for among others, the US Kids World Championship and the SA Kids Championship is one of the four children’s majors to be played in the country at San Lameer and children can earn their American Green Card when participating and excelling. “Big names like Roy McRoy and Ernie Els came through via this initiative and their sister companies. “Even children that do not have money can now enter the sport. There is no handicap and children who have never played golf before can join,” Graham said. The course will be held once a
month on the South Coast, Central Durban and on the North Coast and anyone can join, they do not need to be golf club members. The Golf Pro Shop has had donations of clubs from parents and children don’t have to buy their own until they become keen players. “Boys and girls compete in age groups starting from five to 14. The benefits of the sport for youngsters is tremendous. It teaches morals, honesty and integrity, which other sports don’t, take for instance marking other competitor’s score cards,” Graham said. For further information contact Graham on 061 735 1215 or the Pro Shop on 031 902 4144.
