INANI is a registered organisation founded in July 1994 and registered as a KZN programme for Survivors of Violence (PSV). Sinani is a Nguni word meaning “we are with you”. According to Sinani’s executive director Simanga Sithebe, the organisation contributes towards ensuring that communities are in a safe enabling environment for individual, group and social development. The organisation reduces the levels of poverty, disease, violence and corruption and increases social capital in the under-resourced communities that it serves in KwaZulu-Natal by supporting constructive, innovative and self-reliant community action for change and development. “The enabling environment ushered in by the democratic rule enabled Sinani to work under better conditions compared to how civil society operated prior to South Africa’s democratic government. “Sinani’s work since inception has contributed to the foundations of democracy by ensuring there is greater peace and co-existence in communities where violence was a predominant way of dealing with political, intergroup and even domestic differences,” says Sithebe. KwaZulu-Natal was a focal point of much of the politically motivated violent conflict that affected South Africa. Now that the conflict has been sta-

NGO enables communities bilised to a large extent, the province struggles with typical post-conflict challenges and other socioeconomic realities of today’s South Africa. “These include poor education outcomes and limited chances for young people to get onto credible skills training and academic institutions, high rates of unemployment, the high rate of HIV and Aids, and the growing levels of poverty,” he said. It is being observed that those who were most affected by the conflict in the province are now most marginalised and therefore becoming poorer through not accessing the government development opportunities that are available. “Working with victims and perpetrators of violence has been part of our work since the organisation's foundation. Through our strong group-based facilitation process, we have strengthened communites’ abilities to handle conflicts peacefully, to mitigate the negative outcomes of Aids deaths and to prevent the spread of HIV. “More communities have started their own community based organisations, who are dealing with the ever increasing levels of poverty. Sinani continues to work through local communities and this approach has been successful because of its grounding on the values of respect, collective responsibility and protection of the rights of vulnerable groups.”

“The highlight on Saturday was the baptism. Before getting baptised one needs to understand Bible principles and the Bible’s message. This is accomplished by means of a Bible study, and getting baptised is a personal choice and not forced on individuals. The total number baptised was 390.” The attendance for Friday morning was 17 740, Saturday morning 23 389 and Sunday morning 27 745. For more information on conventions, visit www.jw.org - Supplied.

When we first came to the building it was a mess. Criminals stole windows, taps and almost everything that was in it. “Unfortunately, the Department of Social Development cut its funds and we are now assisted by the Westville Catholic Church.

“M

Y heart bleeds when I see children go to bed on an empty stomach.” These words were from Thandeka Mkhize, a NGO project manager at Ngilonde Projects in Chesterville. The organisation was founded in 2005 when community members realised that poverty and HIV/Aids were rife in the community and decided to start an initiative going from door to door looking for people and families who were infected and affected by the disease. “At that time we were in partnership with the local Department of Health, which gave us 30 first aid kits to use when bathing sick people. We cooked meals for the community three times a day because we discovered that some of them would take their medication on an empty stomach. “In 2007 the Department of Health funded us with a feeding scheme and a stipend to pay our volunteers, but unfortunately, in 2008 they stopped funding us. “Then in 2010 the Department of Social Development came on board and gave us funds to pay Shop 17, 320 West Street Arcade, Durban our volunteers and suggested that we have a facil031 307 1226, 076 242 9811 itator to teach community members about various issues that affect society as well as help children with their homework because we had children that came to us after school just to get something to eat.” The organisation now deals with orphans and vulnerable children, however, it also helps families.

Dhanny is get­ ting increasingly more nervous about Esme going back onto the floor, and Esme ex­ presses her fears.

Esme finds out who her secret Santa is and it couldn’t have been any worse than what she got. EPISODE 070 – 12 October Denton is still on a serious mission to find Chastity. He finds out who knows and plays games to get to the truth. Jakes finds him­ self in a dangerous situation and has to take a huge gamble. Paul is haunted by his recent actions while David thinks Paul did the right thing. David is in a bad space and his author­ ity gets challenged.

EPISODE 071 – 13 October Thandi needs to hide from Jakes the fact that Chastity is missing. Esme is asked by Busi to fill in as pit boss over Christmas but is being pulled in different directions by Dhanny and AJ. Paul offers to prepare a special dinner for Analine and the family. Denton is spotted in Kings Casino, once again.

EPISODE 072 – 14 October Denton keeps taunting Paul and David, playing a dangerous game which could swing either way.While Paul struggles with his dark side, David decides that a family gathering may not be a good idea and he opts for a more exotic option instead. Chas­ tity shares some insight about her work with Thandi and gives her advice on using her sexuality. This offers the two women a bonding experience which may help Chasti­ ty to stay out of trouble.

Dhanny comes face to face with who she has become and Esme will not go easy on her. For Ben, the climb up the career lad­ der comes to a halt.

EPISODE 077 – 21 October A furious Denton challenges Jakes about how distracted he’s been lately but Jakes’ mind is only on returning to Thandi. Pam offers advice to a frustrated Busi when David turns down her new business propos­ al. It’s girl power all the way as Busi and Pam unite in driving the initiative forward. David thinks he’s got one up on Denton when he wangles a visit from the Gambling Board ­ but he’s shocked to find an inspector at his very own casino. Ben overshares to Vikash about his current wife­strife and it comes back to him from an unusual source. EPISODE 078 – 24 October The investigation into Kings Casino threatens to expose events that could have

far reaching consequences. To their sur­ prise, Paul and David are offered help out of this mess by an unlikely ally. While Esme and Dhanny try to mend their friendship, Pam increases her influence over Busi. Paul’s father­and­son chat to Ben gets them into deeper trouble instead of getting them out of it. EPISODE 079 – 25 October Thandi asks Jakes a life­changing ques­ tion and Talullah tells Kenny about her new ‘job”. Vikash consoles a downtrodden Paul and Esme takes a bold, new step. Denton gets news he doesn’t like because it may ru­ in his future plans. Denton tries to come up with a strategy to deal with this problem. EPISODE 080 – 26 October Jakes feels the heat as he is pulled this way and that way to reveal Thandi helped him and Chastity at the scene of Harry Au­ gust’s overdose. Will Jakes succumb and give Thandi up to save his flailing position at Kings? EPISODE 081 – 27 October Jakes has put Denton’s plans at risk by protecting Thandi, but he’s certain he’ll still come out on top,until Inspector Goole puts pressure on Paul to fire Jakes. Busi’s anger at having been lied to by Esme has her making some extreme moves and Es­ me’s career seems to have come to an ab­ rupt end. Ben’s miserable after the fight with Talullah, but his friends rally round. EPISODE 082 – 28 October Denton is furious and willing to take ex­ treme actions. David runs into a brick wall and alienates his strongest ally. Dhanny makes a devilish deal that could harm more than help her in the long run and Jakes shows wisdom beyond his years. Esme comes to a fork in the road and deals with her fate. Ben lands up in anew adventure with his foot firmly in his mouth. EPISODE 083 – 31 October Dhanny presents David with a plan to save her own skin, but she needs David’s buy in. Paul is concerned about Thandi and Jakes’ relationship so he takes matters into his own hands, literally. Pam convinces Denton to bring in a stand in for her, whilst Talullah employs the help of Kenny to get to the bottom of why Ben is acting strangely towards her.

HEY live on the busy streets of Durban where they have to watch their back in case “street kings” bully them. They are called street children, but wish that one day

they will be able to change their lives and go back home with the help of an organisation called Grow Khula. The organisation gave birth to a project called Corner to Corner and the founder, Sihle Ndima (30), said the project was launched in 2015 and promote activities for children living on

the streets. “We provide activities for children and the youth living on the streets of Durban. This include art and sports activities, counselling and referrals to talent show camps. The project has street children from the age of 14 to 26 who mostly come to Albert Park and

29 September 2016 Point Road, and most leave home because of poverty while others are too scared to go back home after doing something wrong. They end up on the street and some visit their home now and again. I also teach them music, poetry and stage acting. I used to be a child and youth care worker at Umthombo Streets Children. “Our outreach team goes to street corners and identifies children in need of services. We establish and develop a relationship with them, and get the children and the youth involved in sport and art activities on a weekly basis. “They also get individual counselling from trained social workers. Children are also referred to relevant NGOs and public services for further assistance. Children who successfully complete the re-integration process are invited to leadership development

camps.” One of Corner to Corner’s clients, Nkanyiso Hadebe (20), said life is not easy living on the streets, but Corner to Corner has been helpful. “Ever since I started being part of Corner to Corner I have become a better person. Life is hard out here. When you first arrive the street kings bully you and go as far as beating you up as some sort of initiation. Here at Corner to Corner we look out for each because we are like brothers and sisters. I can now go a day without smoking a cigarette because the activities at Corner to Corner have kept me busy.” For more information, contact Sihle Ndima on 071 145 8432.

Incompetent, but connected

IF there are two people who epitomise the state of the public service, they are Dudu Myeni and Hlaudi Motsoeneng. Myeni, chairperson of the South Afri­ can Airways (SAA) board, is testament to the fact that political connections trump

competence. Myeni has presided over a disastrous term at the national carrier, with interim financial statements presented at Parlia­ ment this week showing a loss of R5,6 bil­ lion. This is close to R1 billion more than the airline was ex­ pected to lose in 2014/15. Despite My­ eni’s dreadful record, she was retained as chairperson of the newly appointed board as a “compro­ mise”. The question that must be asked is who was the com­ promise with? It is no secret that Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan, who is responsible for the political oversight of SAA, wanted Myeni gone from the time he was reappointed. There was also ten­ sion between Myeni and the former min­ ister Nhlanhla Nene, which is believed to have been a contrib­ 3 OYSTER CRESCENT, UMHLANGA ROCKS uting factor to his ax­ ing in December 2015.

OPINION

mined to retain Myeni that there had to be a “compromise”? It is not only Myeni who enjoys special protection from an undeclared source. Motsoeneng has turned the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) into his personal fiefdom despite a report by the public protector and court judgments finding him unqualified for his position and guilty of maladministration for inflat­ ing his salary and that of other SABC exec­ utives. Like Myeni, Motsoeneng had a disas­ trous reign at the SABC, including rubbish­ ing the credibility of the public broadcast­ er through his absurd editorial policies. He also used the resources of the SABC to fi­ nance a cult­like following and commis­ sioned a choir to sing praise songs about him. This week, the Supreme Court of Ap­ peal (SCA) in Bloemfontein rejected Mot­ soeneng’s bid to appeal against an earlier court ruling that found his appointment as chief operating officer should be set aside. This leaves Motsoeneng with no more legal options, as he clearly has no grounds to take the matter to the Consti­ tutional Court. While both Myeni and Mot­ soeneng have been exposed as incompe­ tent and unworthy, they remain conceited, believing they are entitled to their high­ flying jobs. Myeni arrived late for the fi­ nance committee meeting in Parliament this week, where she was supposed to ac­ count for the performance of the airline. She told the committee she had been un­

well but it is clear that she also does not take parliamentary accountability seri­ ously. In response to questions about the airline’s appalling financial results under her leadership and whether it would not be in the best interests of SAA for her to resign, Myeni was indifferent. “I did not appoint myself. It was a Cabi­ net decision,” she said. Motsoeneng has been equally cavalier after the SCA deci­ sion rendered his position invalid. Speak­ ing at the funeral of Kwaito star Mandoza, Motsoeneng tastelessly used the plat­ form to blow his own trumpet. “You can­ not decide for my future, I will decide. If I leave the SABC it will not be the first time. Hlaudi is stress­free.” It is not clear what the future holds for these two people and the other incompe­ tents who contaminate the public service. Myeni is supposed to leave SAA after a year, but who knows whether her special political protection might result in an ex­ tended stay, or perhaps another high­fly­ ing post she is unworthy of. Motsoeneng, for now, remains at the SABC as an “ordinary employee”, as if it is a voluntary club that he can remain a member of. These two people personify the state of incompetence and lack of ac­ countability in government. And chillingly, their power is derived from a hotline to the highest office. • Ranjeni Munusamy is a political jour­ nalist and commentator for the Daily Mav­ erick. ranjeni.munusamy@gmail.com

USO Danse Studios founder Taren Gaia, recently returned home after competing in the World Dance Masters Championship in Blackpool, England. This competition is hosted by World Dance Masters and is held annually in Winter Gardens Empress Ballroom. “I competed in the intermediate open division against seven participants from England, Scotland, Sweden, Germany, France and South Africa. The competition was tough since a lot of the dancers train in dance academy or dance for a living. “This achievement has been four years in the making. But it was not without hours of physically and mentally training.” For Gaia, winning a world championship title came as a total shock. “Even with all the training, reaching my goal has been a journey that seemed impossible at times but things are only impossible until someone does them. “With the training from my coach Al-

tion, an open mind, and most importantly, to believe in yourself that you are your dreams. “Gone are the days of Achy Breaky Heart, square dancing. Line dance is all about diversity, incorporating styles from many different genres of dance including Latin, hip-hop and country.” She said her love for dance is driving her to create new ways of changing the thinking of what line dance is. Some of which will be actioned in the coming year, with the aim of trying to get younger generation involved. Gaia is a qualified chartered accountant working for Stefanutti Stocks Civils KZN and a UK instructor and choreographer. Fuso Danse Studios caters for social line dance throughout Durban and provides line dance classes for Dance2Dance International. “I encourage people who want to take up dancing as a career that hard work, dedication and passion are the key to becoming a great dancer. But if there’s one thing that I’ve learnt from my trainer it’s that perfection does come from hard work.” For more information, visit www.fusodanse.co.za email taren@fusodanse.co.za or visit her Facebook page, Fuso Danse Studios.

WHEN IS BABY READY AND HOW SHOULD YOU START SOLIDS? More often than not, feeding babies would be a far easier task if one would just allow it to be. The following are often used as indications that Baby is ready for solid foods. Be cautious and listen to Baby. Baby suddenly demands more bottle or breast feeds · Baby might simply need more milk, so first try to increase the number or length of feeds for at least a week – if still seeming dissatisfied, it might be time to introduce solids, unless there is another rational explanation, like teething or stress in the family. Everyone says baby is old enough · Most babies don’t need solids before six months, although there are exceptions – both younger and older. Milk is food, don’t forget. You must let baby take the lead in this one – it is his tummy, after all. Baby is teething · Teething often precedes interest in solid food, maybe because there is some connection! This notion confirms that there is a whole range of ‘correct’ ages to start feeding babies solids. Baby shows interest in your food · This will seldom happen before baby is ready to eat. Sometimes it’s more about the sensation of squelching food between the fingers, but eating is always more than just physical nutrition, so allow some measure of exploration at mealtimes. How to introduce solids guide · Offer first foods between milk feeds, when baby is a little hungry but not ravenous and is in a good, inquisitive mood. · Between 10h00 and 14h00 is the most optimal digestive time for first meals. · Offer only 1 to 2 teaspoons or cubes at a time, and wait to see if, over the next day, there are any adverse reactions. · Increase amount slowly, maybe by 1 teaspoon or cube a day every 3 to 5 days, until baby indicates that you should settle at a specific amount. · Introduce new foods one at a time so that you can readily identify problem foods and adverse reactions. · Add a second meal after about 4 to 6 weeks, and a third meal from 6 to 8 weeks later.

“M

Y dream is for my designs to be featured in wellknown shops in and around the world,” said Durban designer S'baby Pearl Zondi (36). Zondi was born and grew up in Clermont and her passion for designing clothes began as a hobby. “I matriculated at Mqhele High School, however, at that time I didn't know which career to choose. I got married at 18 and became a housewife. I used to try out new things with fabric because I was bored at home. “My husband saw my talent and bought me my first sewing machine.”

From housewife to fashion designer >> She did a two­year fashion design diploma in 2005 PHOTO: NOSIPHO MKHIZE

Her love and passion for design grew so she studied fashion designing in 2005. “I did a two-year diploma at Lindiwe Khuzwayo Academy of Fashion in 2005, which at that time was called ‘clothing design’. “While completing my diploma I would design clothes for friends and family. The highlight was when I designed my first wedding gown as part

of our assignments and we were given the opportunity to enter fashion design competitions. Fortunately, my gown took first place. “I then entered fashion shows in events called Shadows in Clermont and Comfort Zone, then every year I attended the Vodacom Durban July to showcase my designs.” Zondi registered her business S'babys Couture - in 2015 after seeing her designs becoming popular. “S'babys Couture stands for ‘S'babys

HE five-kilometre Color Run™ returns to Durban - and comes to Pietermaritzburg for the first time on Sunday 2 October and Durban on Sunday 9 October. The Color Run™ boasts more colour, sparkles, and highlights shining through, “the happiest five kilometres on the planet”. “This year brings with it a new venue and a new route,” says Color Run South Africa National event co-ordinator, Trevor Latimer. “The Durban run starts from the Durban North College and the PMB run starts at Epworth School – both routes giving us access to some of the city’s most scenic views.” With headline sponsor, Capitec Bank on board once again, the fun and

festivities promise to be every bit as exciting as KZN Color runners have come to expect from the original paint race. Capitec Bank’s head of communications Charl Nel says: “Capitec supports the Color Run’s principles of healthiness, happiness, individuality, and giving back, which is why we have continued our long-standing relationship with Adopt-a-School, allowing us to contribute to schools in each area in which the event takes place. We donate R10 for each ticket purchased to a deserving school identified by Adopt-A-School.” The 2016 Durban Color Run recipient has been named as the Maphumuzana Primary in Umlazi. “Through Adopt-a-School we have learnt that Maphumuzana Primary re-

quires teacher development and classroom-based support programmes in natural sciences. All money raised will be donated to this cause.” Phangindawo Primary in Cato Ridge is the identified recipient for the Pietermaritzburg event. All money raised will go towards building the school a vegetable garden. “We hope that Color runners will experience healthiness as enjoyment, and this will encourage them to make focus on The Color Run principles, which arguably form the foundation of a fulfilling life,” says Latimer. In addition to raising money through Adopt-a-School, individual charities and schools can form their own fund raising programmes. Register your school or charity on
