Umvoti MunicIpality personnel in the ‘town of peace and prosperity‘. The Quantum driver first unlocked the tap on the King Edward Park sports field then took water from it. A resident, who saw this happening and took this photograph was then followed by the Quantum driver while the occupants took photographs of his vehicle. Following days of brilliant sunshine winter certainly made its frosty presence felt over the weekend as temperatures plunged dramatically. Areas that have been drab drought coloured for months were suddenly sparklingly white and clean. Various reports forecast light rain as usual for just about everywhere except Umvoti Lake Merthley is barely 11% and Greytown rain recorder, Grant Gifford, reported just 5.5ml in June. Weather fundis are predicting heavy spring and summer rains in fact El Niño, to change to La Niña lets hope for once they have got it right.

Marsharps College hosts Youth Development workshop WHILE the country is grappling with major issues, both nationally and globally, the youth face a plethora of challenges. Dr Moses Khanyile, Masharps College, Kranskop organised a Youth Development workshop and comments as follows: "At national level, the government is busy with a number of issues including, inter alia, avoiding the relegation of South Africa’s credit rating to junk status, getting ready for the 3 August elections, making efforts to reduce unemployment by creating more jobs, stimulating the economy and reducing inflation to within three to six percent range. “At global level, there is uncertainty about the effects of Britain exiting the European Union (EU) or Brexit - and stemming the tide of immigrants who are landing every day on the shores of some European countries, most notably Tur-
key, Germany and Britain. “With all these challenges demanding immediate attention of government, it is unfathomable that the youth will receive undivided attention. However, with June being the Youth Month in South Africa, it was inevitable that there would be youth-related activities across the country which sometimes evaporate immediately after June. Given that it is election year, youth matters are bound to feature prominently." The Youth Development workshop on 20 June, was attended by the youth from different parts of Umvoti Municipality. A solutiondriven approach was adopted, which helped ensure that little time was spent lamenting and bemoaning deficiencies in the system, but focussed mainly on developing solutions. Recognising that they are a ma-
jority in the country (52%), the youth realised the enormous responsibility that they shoulder for ensuring they change their communities for the better. High in their priorities is creating safe communities by eradicating unplanned teenage pregnancies and substance abuse such as drugs, nyaope, dagga and excessive alcohol abuse. There was general consensus that, without skills, youth will not able to achieve many of their aspirations. To this effect, it is crucial that they acquire basic and critical skills which are required in the labour market. Mr Smart Khoza, the guest speaker, emphasised the importance of computer skills qualifications as provided by Masharps College. He cited countries like Singapore, India and China, that have prioritised Information Technolo-

vided an opportunity to put their names on the college’s database so that they can be contacted for employment opportunities and bursaries. He indicated that the college helps students apply for bursaries, which are provided by companies and government departments.
Ladies night out
MPUMELELO Radebe, who matriculated from Sisekelo High School last year and is now a first-year medical student, visited the school to talk about the importance of education, about being committed to hard work, how to study together and assist each other and to thank about a medical career as there was a shortage of doctors throughout the South Africa. Mpumelelo achieved excellent results in his matric with an outstanding 93% for physical science and 98% for maths.

Watershortage solutions offered MR Lungani Masondo, Greytown Lodge maintenance manager, who has many years’ experience in technical and practical skills has submitted the following suggestions to the Greytown Gazette as possible solutions to the area’s drastic water problem, which will be around for a long time. Rain water harvesting is carried out in many places throughout South Africa where buildings with good drainage infrastructure are the main contributors in collecting water from roofs. “In order to lessen the demand and supply of water from dams, especially in the rainy summer season, and to preserve the supply for the dry winter months, it is essential to encourage people, particularly in rural areas, to build underground drains and minidams.’’ This would require communities being
educated on these methods to ensure the correct implementation of these solutions. At the same time such projects will create jobs for the youth who will also benefit from skills transfer. In addition Mr Masondo suggests that to lessen wastage due to taps being left on – the old-fashioned tap, with a spring that has to be pressed to turn on, should be installed. Regarding water tanks with attached pumps – to save breakdown problems and damage, which could be caused by the tank running dry, but the pump continues to run, he proposes that sensors and timing devices be fitted to the tank with a gauge to detect the level of the water to send a signal to the pump to start or stop automatically. To discuss in more detail with Mr Masondo, contact him on 079 343 6700.
Choral concert to complete annual ‘choir week’ HERMANNSBURG will be vibrating with choral singing during the first week of July as music lovers from all over South Africa meet for their annual “choir week”, which involves over 100 choristers. The South African Heinrich Schütz Association was founded in 1968 with the aim of promoting choral church music in South Africa. To achieve this, the association, over the past 48 years, has presented an annual choir week in various venues throughout South Africa and this year it is once again in Hermannsburg. To ensure the continuing high standard, professional choir masters are invited from Germany, and musical director this year is
Markus Uhl from Heidelberg, a lecturer at Freiburg, Heidelberg and Weimar. The repertoire ranges from early 16th century music to present-day compositions. On Saturday 9 July at 5pm choir week will culminate in a one-hour concert at St Peter’s Lutheran Church, 283 Voortrekker Street, Greytown. Entrance is free, but a collection will be held at the end in support of the work the association does. The choir will also perform in the PeterPaul Church in Hermannsburg during the service on Sunday 10 July at 9am. This is a wonderful opportunity to listen to some beautifully and professionally sung church music, right here in Greytown.

Dilizela High School pupils asked KZN MEC for Agriculture and Rural Development, Themba Mthembu, questions pertaining to the agricultural sector. The MEC visited Msinga last week to interact with young workers in the agricultural sector, to listen to challenges they face and to inform them of what the department has to offer for their development as selfsustaining farmers.

Shadow Column THE Greytown Gazette publishes a monthly Shadow Column at the end of each month to list events to come throughout the year. The main objective is to notify the public of what events are scheduled to take place, or about to, in order to avoid, as far as possible, “double dating”- that is two events on the same day which could create problems not only for the organisers, but also for the public. An appeal therefore goes out to schools, churches, NGOs, sports bodies and clubs, etc., to submit
dates and event details to the Greytown Gazette for publication as soon as possible. Its easy, just email greytowngazette@gmail or phone 033 413 2310.

process gradually, so that you and your taste buds get used to the lower salt levels. If you go from 1 teaspoon of salt per dish per day to a zero salt intake, you will find it particularly difficult to adjust to the change in taste. But if you consciously add a bit less salt to your foods every second or third day, then you will be able to educate your taste buds over a period of a few weeks to accept this change in eating habits. • Avoid foods that have a high salt and/or sodium content due to processing. Cured and pickled foods and relishes contain very large quantities of salt, so products like bacon, ham, processed meats, salted dried fish, anchovies, atchar, pickles, etc., are loaded with salt. * Avoid condiments and flavouring aids that contain salt or sodium - read those labels and if you are unsure, rather avoid the use of products like stock cubes, meat extract, etc. • Check that you are not ingesting sodium via medications or toothpaste. Medicinal products are often a “hidden” source of sodium. • Be creative when cooking and
use fresh herbs, as well as spices that don't contain salt and/or sodium (e.g. pepper, chillies, garlic, bay
leaves, cloves, cinnamon, cardamon, etc), or lemon juice to add flavour to your dishes.
Less salt all round FROM 30 June South Africans are eating less salt, as new legislation to reduce salt in processed foods comes into effect. The Heart and Stroke Foundation South Africa is concerned about the fact that South Africans eat on average double the recommended daily salt limit of five grams a day. Most of this salt does not come from what consumers add themselves, but rather from what is added during manufacturing. Excess salt intake can raise blood pressure, thereby contributing to heart disease, strokes and kidney disease. Most salt is hidden in everyday foods. On average, four slices of bread provide 1.6 grams or a quarter teaspoon of salt per day - a third of the recommended maximum.. Even sweet breakfast cereals can bump up salt intake by another gram. Consumers can use www.saltcalculator.co.za to check. The amendment to the foodstuff regulations was published in the Government Gazette in March 2013. A three-year implementation period was granted to allow time for manufacturers to experiment with reformulation and pro-
duce lower salt products that are still acceptable to consumers. Foods affected include bread, breakfast cereal, margarines and butter, savoury snacks, potato crisps, processed meats, sausages, soup and gravy powders, instant noodles and stocks. Consumers add on average four grams of salt to food at home, which alone just meets the World Health Organisation's maximum limit of grams or one teaspoon per day. Foods affected by legislation like potato crips and processed meats will still be very salty even after target levels have been met. Not forgetting takeout - a fried chicken or burger meal provides double to triple our daily intake, sometimes even more. Consumers should read food labels to compare products and demand less salty products. All foods with the Heart Mark logo have been evaluated and are lower salt options. The following tips from Dr Ingrid van Heerden can help lower sodium intake: • If possible don't add any table salt to foods you cook at home. Do not cover each dish you eat with a crust of salt Start the reduction

Ramadan, which began on 6 June this year, is the month on the Islamic calendar in which the Prophet Muhammad is said to have revealed their holy book - the Qu'ran - to Muslims. Muslims fast during the hours of daylight, meaning they are not allowed to eat or drink from sunrise to sunset and undertake extra prayers and worship during the period, as a means to grow closer to Allah. Eid-ul-fitr translates literally to “festival of the breaking of the fast” in English from Arabic Eid Mubarak. The traditional greeting reserved for the festival, Eid means "celebration" and refers to the occasion itself, and Mubarak means "blessed and/or happy". Muslims gather at mosques in the morning to perform the Eid prayer, before holding family gatherings and visiting friends. It is a time to give incharity to those in need and celebrate with family and friend the completion of a month of blessings and joy. Feasts and sweets are shared to mark the end of the fasting period, and the greeting “Eid Mubarak” is constantly heard’. The celebrations are seen as a time of forgiveness and of giving thanks to Allah for helping people to complete their spiritual fasting. In many Muslim countries the celebrations continue for three-day period.

Hermannsburg Happenings AT the end of last term, we received the welcome news that our musicians once again excelled. Lydia Köhne was listed on Unisa’s honour roll for excellence for achieving 97% in the Unisa theory examination at Grade 3 level in 2015. She is currently in Grade 9 and continuing her studies in music. Christel Brüggemann passed the Unisa theory examination at Grade 5 level with distinction. Elisabeth Tönsing and Meike Meyer wrote the international Associated Boards of the Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM) examinations and both passed Grade 4 theory, Elisabeth with distinction. We congratulate them on their fine achievements and look forward to more good news after the September music examinations. As you read this, the annual Schützwoche is being hosted at Hermannsburg, with musicians from all corners of our
country under the baton of German conductor Markus Uhl. As reported previously, this will culminate in a concert at the Lutheran Church in Greytown on Saturday, 9 July at 5pm. Participants will also join in and sing at the Sunday service in Hermannsburg at 9am on 10 July. It was a freezing, damp morning last Saturday, but a couple of hours after sunrise, warm hearts and waiting arms welcomed the children back from their week at the coast at the Kailager church camp. Tired but content, the Little Oaks and friends returned home to warm up, unpack and regale their families with tales of their adventures. Thanks to Pastor Risch and helpers at the camp who looked after the children so well. Tired but happy, the Hermannsburg children were reunited with their parents on their return from ‘Kailager’ last Saturday morning.

Believe it or not … “DR Casey Carlos, assistant professor of medicine in the division of dermatology at the University of California San Diego School of Medicine suggests that showering too much isn’t good for you. Carlos explains that it’s quite difficult to get people to use soap only when they need to do so. This research is particularly apt currently as Greytonians try to cope with limited water supply. Skin care science is simple - soap removes oils from the skin. In turn, your skin becomes dry and gets a rough texture. Carlos also suggests people should use soap only in particular places such as the groin, armpits, and feet. Furthermore, you should skip using soap on chest, back, legs, and arms. Why? It’s because our skin has the amazing ability to clean itself. Scientific explanation Most health and lifestyle outlets today don’t rely too much on scientific explanations that support their claims. Here you can see why frequent showers aren’t such a great habit: •The top layer of your skin is composed of dead skin cells that protect underlying skin layers. •The top layer is held together by fats or

lipids that are responsible for moisture. •Whenever you shower and scrub, you’re breaking this layer apart. •The more showers you take, the more damage occurs in top layer. •Due to frequent showers, your skin has less time to repair and recover through natural oil production. •It prevents “good” bacteria from growing on your skin. This good bacteria is beneficial for protecting your skin and your body from infections. •It’s bad for your hair too. Negative consequences include dry, dull hair that is prone to dandruff. In some cases, hair can become greasy as scalp tries to overcompensate for dryness. Supplementary benefits •You’ll save time. •You’ll use less hot water. •You’ll save money on shower gels, lotions, etc. How to look great even when you don’t shower every day We are used to the idea of showering every day. However, it’s possible not to shower daily and still look good – some tips: • Remove makeup before bedtime – this will prevent clogged pores. •Put on a new pair of underwear each morning •Take a wet washcloth and wipe groin region, armpits, etc. •Use a deodorant that doesn’t leave white streaks. Also, go for the product that doesn’t have a distinctive smell. •Wear clothes made of natural fabrics, particularly during summer. Polyester and sweat are never a great combination, even when you do shower every day. •Shave armpits regularly •Use dry shampoo – if you don’t have a dry shampoo, you can use baby powder. •Don’t overdo it with moisturiser •Use apple cider vinegar to naturally deodorise your armpits •Use panty liners.” - All4Women.

Greytown Giants IN a hard-fought match Greytown Giants displayed courage and determination to draw 17-17 in a recent match against UKZN. If not for a few crucial decisions the Giants should have won the match. The game was
played with great passion and spirit. Thank you to UKZN for a great match and camaraderie afterwards. Last Friday Greytown played against Winterton final score was 32-13 in Winterton's favour. The
management and spectators from Greytown said it was a fantastic game. The team appreciates the support of its fans Once again positive comments from other teams on how the Greytown Giants fight to the very end were received because they certainly keep the Greytown flag flying high.

From the ditch DESPITE the freezing weather three bowlers pitched up to play on Saturday afternoon. Chris Fischer, Bryan Paul and Karen Cordy played singles against each other on one rink and proved that you can play bowls with an odd number of
bowlers. Winner were Karen on six points, Chris on five and Bryan on four points. The drawn pairs are in danger of imploding as it hasn't even started, let alone the singles handicap, which is
A happy handover Brandon Brokensha (left), Stephan Lewies (centre) and Bill Commins.
MASCOR Toyota Greytown personnel were thrilled to meet the Cell C Sharks rugby player, Stephan Lewies, last Thursday when he came to pick up his all new Toyota Hilux from Mascor Toyota, which is now sponsoring him. Stephan worked his way up the junior ranks from U19 to U21 to Vodacom Cup level before making his senior debut for the Cell C Sharks in the 2013 Absa Currie Cup, aged just 21. In 2014 he played in his first Vodacom
Super Rugby competition and his play was so outstanding he was immediately recognised as a special talent and called up to the Springbok squad. Stephan earned his first Test cap against Scotland at the age of 22. A serious knee injury curtailed his 2015 season and he spent much of his time mentoring the junior age group players and bringing his lineout skills and knowledge to the fore. Mascor would like to take the opportunity to thank everyone involved.
Greytown Country Club news also due to start soon. The NIBA singles got off to a flying start on Sunday with Greytown bowlers all winning and moving on to the next round. Well done to Chris Fischer, Tony Smith, Gerhard Balzer and Erika Fischer.
MASCOR Monthly mug was played on Saturday in bitterly cold conditions. Despite the weather there were 11 golfers competing for the cup with Tienie Muller the winner. Thank you to the golfers who braved the cold. Results: A division: 1st was M. Msomi on 74 Second was M. Thusi on 77 B division: 1st was T. Muller on 73 Second was B. Ngonyama on 73. Reece Channing lost out on the money as
he was not present at the time of the draw. The next attendance draw will be on Friday with R1 200 up for grabs. Be here from 6.30pm and you could be the lucky winner. The winning team at the quiz evening was team QI on 42 points. Congratulations to them and thank you to Gert Joubert for sponsoring the cash prize for this event and Maggie Hardy for the questions and arrangements for the quiz.

LAST Sunday when five of the eight St Cathryn’s golfers playing in the triangular at Mandeni, left home the temperature reading was one degree above zero - a number that was also the difference between the winning team Darnall and St Cathryn’s on Sunday. The rain that fell during the night on the coast helped to settle a little dust, and the strong wind from the South was chilly. Luckily the eight golfers in the team did not have the strong wind to contend with
