Brian Corbishley so much to so many THANKS to the amazing vision of one man, Brian David Corbishley, thousands of people throughout Umvoti and the rest of Africa have benefited in so many ways. Brian, who died on 7 January at the age of 79, was a man of many parts - entrepreneur, businessman, educational visionary, creator of thousands of job opportunities around the world, mentor, friend and above all, very much a family man. From a humble start, as a packhouse manager on a citrus estate in Weenen, he, at the age of 20, borrowed a small sum of money from his father to put into operation his belief in the vital need to feed billions of people throughout the world through the development of quality maize seed. With the late Bill Walls he bought the majority shares in a fledging operation, which was to become the largest seed group In Africa. The start of this farreaching empire was the registration of the Pioneer Seed Company on 27 May, 1958. Over the next 20 years the company became a highly respected role player on the international seed market as it continued to expand its footprint across many borders. With his innate ability to think "out of the box" and to foresee future needs Brian acquired a number of agriculturally linked subsidiary companies including Starke Ayres, Pidelta, Kombat, Mascor, SA Triton Express, EGT and others. In 2013, the company, now known as Pannar, was sold to Du Pont and Pannar (Pty) Ltd changed its name to Plennegy (Pty) Ltd, Despite the incredible business successes and expansion Brian remained a humble, discreet gentleman, who hated any sort of fuss being made over him or his achievements, but was always content with what he was doing. So many relied on his vision and business acumen, but he was basically a man of simple needs and pleasures. He loved birding, the Kruger Park, crossword puzzles and soduku and of course, the daily weather reports. Brian had the ability to handle complex and complicated business deals, giving incredible attention to detail assisted by an amazing memory. Totally organised and focused Brian was relentless in his pursuit of his goal, attributes which he retained to the end. Although he hated high school and boarding school even more, Brian firmly believed in the importance of quality education and the importance of keeping families

together as long as possible. This led to him and his wife Dot founding Wembley College in Greytown 20 years ago. At the memorial service, attended by a 1 000 people last Saturday, in paying tribute to Brian he was described as "a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma". To elaborate, who else could start a seed company, with borrowed money, at the age of 20 to see it become one of the largest seed companies feeding millions in sub-Saharan Africa. Who, as a man who hated vegetables and denied that vitamins existed, became the power behind the largest privately owned vegetable seed company (Starke Ayres) responsible for nourishing millions. Who, at the age of 60, did not think retirement, but started a school to leave a great legacy, which will have a positive impact on many lives for generations to come. The companies Brian founded, the many legacies he has left will grow from strength to strength.There may be challenges and changes along the way, but he certainly was the last one to stand still. It is a great legacy he has left. Tens of thousands of people owe their jobs, education and family security to the companies he created and many more throughout the continent have food security. Greytown stands proudly where it is today thanks to the decision taken by Brian Corbishley over 50 years ago to plant the seeds of his great legacy here.

uMshwathi Municipality targets education

18 January 2017

Goodbye Mr Chips MANY past pupils, who had benefited from the committed and interesting teachings of Victor Ernest were saddened to hear of his death on 14th December, 2016 in Greytown at the age of 70. Born in Kranskop in 1946, the family moved to Greytown where Victor matriculated in 1964 at the Greytown Secondary School. He obtained a BA with honours in psychology and history in 1971 and taught for many years at Greytown Secondary School. Pupils who were taught by him said he played an important role in their understanding the societal ills of the day, instilled

a culture of social awareness, and with his passion for history, made it come alive for many. In 1992 the family moved to Durban where Victor served as principal and deputy principal in a number of schools before returning to live in Greytown in 2014. Apart from his passion for teaching, he was also a keen fisherman, a committed Christian and a talented musician having taught himself to play the guitar in his youth, and the keyboard after he retired.. Victo leaves two daughters, Jean and Tracy, and their families. - Contributed

Bang went the law

In terms of the national Explosives Act there are very strict rules and regulations that apply to the storage and sale of fireworks and severe penalties if these are not adhered to. But in Durban Street, Greytown, on 31 December, an alert Greytonian photographed big bangs and other fireworks being blatantly and illegally displayed and sold while peace officers directed traffic alongside.

From the heart of the community THANKS to the generosity of many local businesses and individuals, the Greytown Community Policing Forum, the SAPS and Councillor W. Khoza 12 pupils started the new school year with heads held high wearing new school uniforms, which were donated by the group. The 12 who benefitted were from Greytown Primary, Buhlebuyeza Secondary and Hermannsburg Primary,

The CPF are very appreciative of the efforts put in by Zane Sayed who collected the generous donations from so many and would also like to express their gratitude to the many who donated. The CPS is on record to encourage young people to continue with their education to ensure they are better prepared for the future with the skills and abilities to promote crime fee communities.

Water tanker supplies reduced THE Umzinyathi District Municipality, which is the water service provider for Umvoti, has announced that the number of water tankers servicing the whole of Umvoti will be reduced. During the past two years Umzinyathi implemented a drought relief programme, which included the rehabilitation and drilling of boreholes to reduce the number of tankers required. A service provider was appointed to undertake this work and in Msinga 246 boreholes were rehabilitated and 81 new ones installed. In Nquthu 397 boreholes were drilled and repaired and 120 new ones installed The completion of this programme and the improvements in summer rains within the district has meant Umzinyathi has to reconsider the continuous use of water tankers. One of the strategies to be employed is the reduction of the current water tanker numbers from 50 to 20 as from 1 January. These will be distributed as follows: Endumeni Local Municipality - two water tankers;

Unlicensed firearms recovered in Dalton IN a special operation conducted by Pietermaritzburg North Crime Intelligence personnel last week in Dalton six unlicensed firearms, including two R5 rifles, 9mm pistols, two 303 rifles and a 38 special revolver together with 44 live round ammunition were recovered Three suspects, aged between 19 and 24, were arrested for them and one was found with three firearms - R5 rifle, 303 rifle and 9mm pistol. All arrested suspects appeared in the New Hanover Magistrate’s Court on possession of unlicensed firearms and ammunition. The KwaZulu-Natal MEC for Transport, Community Safety and Liaison, Mxolisi Kaunda, welcomed and applauded police for a successful recovery of massive illegal firearms and ammunition in various parts of the province, saying this has gone a long way in removing tools that are the key drivers of murder and robbery. Kaunda commended the police for work well done, urging communities to work with

the police to ensure that weapons of destruction were removed from communities. “As the department and the government of KwaZulu-Natal we have prioritised the challenge of illegal firearms available in our communities. These are tools that fuel conflict, murder and robbery in our province, resulting in violence and instability. “We, therefore, thank the police for this brave and good work and call on communities to work hand in hand with the police to clean the province of these illegal firearms,” urged Kaunda. He said the KwaZulu-Natal government was concerned about the proliferation of illegal firearms, which are used for criminal activities. “From January to March last year, police recovered 1 265 illegal firearms and 13 683 rounds of ammunition. These firearms are also used to kill our police officers. The incidents of shoot-outs between police and suspects in various occasions in the province is becoming a matter of concern.”

Hermannsburg Happenings AND so it begins, 2017 got off to a flying start with a pleasing increase in our high school numbers and renewed commitment to excellence on the academic, sport and cultural fronts. Thank you to all the parents, pupils, old pupils and members of our school family who attended yesterday’s church service and the annual general meeting of the Parents’ Association. We welcome our new pupils, especially those in Grade 1 and Grade 8, as well as the new teachers who have joined us this year. We look forward to productive and happy times with them, again congratulating the Class of 2016 for a 100% pass rate (allowing them all to go on to further study), and trusting that this year’s Grade 12 class will maintain this tradition. We apologise for an error that

crept into the caption for one of our Happenings photographs last year - our head boy for 2017 is Hugh Bouwer. During the holidays some of our parents were hard at work - our thanks go to the dedicated group that undertook the catering for the visiting groups that stayed at our school, using our boarding establishment and facilities for their retreats and workshops the most recent being the Equip retreat run by the Lutheran Church. We appreciate the support of such visiting groups, as well as the old pupils who regularly organise reunions at our school, and trust they will continue to make use of our tranquil surroundings for their functions. With such support from our school family and particularly our committed parents, we look forward to a superb year ahead.

Future Farmer’s Foundation DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS UMZINYATHI SUB-DISTRICT AwArd of Bids

CLIENT DEPARTMENT: EDUCATION INSTITUTION: UPPER UMVOTI HIGH SCHOOL SERVICE: ATTEND TO DEMOLISHING OF AN OLD SCHOOL BUILDING ZNQ NO: 16 / 17 / 14 / 11 / S CONTRACTOR: YOMPIYOMPI TRADING AMOUNT: R207 877.00 NB: All contract awards are subject to no appeals lodged within 05 Working days from date of this advertisement.

UMVOTI Agricultural Society members recently met with the founder of the Future Farmer’s Foundation, Judy Stuart, to discuss the possibility of investing some UAS Bursary funds into the Future Farmer’s Foundation to sponsor a candidate from Umvoti The foundation was started when Judy Stuart, who was working with emerging farmers, found that many of them lacked the skills required to become successful commercial farmers. Stuart decided to focus on young people and developed a programme that is now producing some great young farmers for South Africa. She said this is a project about qualifying young men and women by creating opportunities for them to become competent and valuable commercial farm managers and successful farmers in their own right. Interested candidates (school leavers unable to attend universities), should send their CVs through, following which they will be interviewed to be assess whether they will be suitable for the programme. In all cases the students selected must be passionate about farming and have an excellent work ethic and

sense of responsibility. The apprentices are placed on farms where they gain experience, starting from the bottom and learning a large variety of skills, and after a year or two of practical experience, apprentices who excel in their work can be selected to do a years’ internship overseas via grant funding provided by the Future Farmer’s Foundation. The first student was sent abroad in 2007, and there is now a formal entity dedicated to providing platforms from which young men and women, who are passionate about agriculture and farming in general, can become successful commercial farm managers or farmers in their own right. Once they have returned from overseas (after a year) most of the interns find management positions and many return to the farms they did their initial training on. Umvoti Agricultural Society has requested that its funds donated will be used to sponsor a candidate from Umvoti who will be placed in this programme. UAS also encourages local commercial farmers to consider having an intern on their farm for mentorship/ training to increase the number of suitable qualified students. For more information, email uas@umvoti.co.za The website for more information is www.futurefarmersfoundation.com

Life after matric what are your options? GETTING a matric with university entrance is one of the primary goals of secondary education. However, not everyone obtains a university entrance, leaving them with a basic matric education. What opportunities are there for these matriculants? Go straight into the job market There are several immediate advantages to this. For a start, money starts flowing in quickly, and there is no need to go into debt in order to study further. Finding a job straight out of school can be a tough undertaking, however. The current employment scenario is not a particularly good one for school-leavers, with a very high unemployment rate in this segment of the population. And where there are jobs available, prospective employers more often than not look for a certain amount of experience, which school-leavers obviously lack. For these reasons we need to look at other options for matriculants. Study further There are many further study options open to matriculants who do not have university entrance. In choosing a tertiary education direction the first step is to decide on a desired vocation. Institutions offering diploma courses to matriculants are plentiful in the major centres of South Africa. For instance, for those interested in marketing there is the IMM Graduate School of Marketing, or for those wanting to pursue a digital design career

there is the Vega School, and so on. There are also plenty of general purpose colleges offering a wide range of diploma courses. Go into a trade Another option is to go into a trade and take courses at a technical institute. There are also workplace apprenticeships in which a school-leaver can enrol, which can give the advantage of generating income while learning a trade. Entrepreneurship There is a further option for school-leavers. With its relatively slow economic growth rate and high unemployment, the South African economy needs as much stimulus as possible. One of the most important drivers of this is entrepreneurship, with its ability to create jobs, generate taxable income and provide growth. For matriculants with the right mindset, starting a business, however small, is certainly a viable option. Gap year And finally, if you are a recent matriculant who is completely unsure of what direction to take, there is the increasingly popular option of a “gap year”. This will give you the time to take stock and discover what it is that you really want to do. You can take this opportunity to travel, if that is affordable, or else take a part-time job to get some work experience. Whatever your preference, it’s important to realise that matriculating without a university entrance is by no means something that needs to curtail the opportunities available to you. - Supplied.

Window on Wembley ON 28 November last year, the Wembley College family came together to support the Greytown Feeding Scheme. Mr Aheer, who leads this initiative, came to our school to receive our donation to the cause. A variety of canned goods and other non-perishable were handed over to Mr Aheer to help those less fortunate in their time of need. We encourage the Greytown community to support Mr Aheer, his team and this worthy cause. We are excited to report back on the cricket at Wembley College. We were privileged to have fielded eight teams throughout the school this year - Grade 1, Grade 2, U9, U11, U13A, U13B, U15 and Opens. Our aim is to build the cricket at Wembley College by focusing more on constructive development of our players from entry level. If we are able to hone the required skills in every player to reach their full potential, then the overall picture automatically looks much healthier. We also had the privilege of playing against strong opposition in the senior primary during our fourth term of this year. Two of these schools were Pelham and Cowan House. The high school teams will have their work cut out for them in the first term of 2017 as they face quality teams such as Kearsney fourth and U15D, Maritzburg College fifth and U15E and St Charles third and U15C. These tough opponents mean that the bar has been raised for the Wembley boys. A highlight for the Open and U15 boys will be the tour up to Kimberly in February where they will face a strong cricket school, Northern Cape High School, in three matches. Four of the coaches have completed their level 1 cricket course, which means that in 2017 we will field five qualified cricket coaches. This will undoubtedly have a great positive impact on our teams. Our aim is to follow exactly the same coaching techniques from Grade 1 through to Form 6 ensuring that each coach is responsible for the required development at their respective age group level. If there is a plan, we will play with more purpose. The future of Wembley cricket is looking bright. Wembley College pupils have taken a step in the right direction! At last year's prize-giving ceremony, our pupils stepped out of their shoes to give to those less fortunate than themselves. The donated shoes have been gathered and distributed to a variety of charities. We thank every pupil who participated in this initiative and would like to encourage

the Greytown community to support this drive to help provide school shoes to those children who are in need. Tribute to Brian Corbishley It was with great sadness that we heard about the passing of Brian Corbishley on 7th January 2017. Twenty years ago he made the momentous decision to start Wembley College in Greytown. The school has been nurtured gently and carefully by both him and his wife Dot. He has always had the interests of the children as his primary focus, combined with a commitment to providing internationally-recognised education in Greytown. The campus itself is testament to this with its beautiful facilities. He has spent hours and hours of his time planning, building and thinking up myriads of ways of making Wembley the school that it has become. The management and staff of the school are determined to carry on his legacy and continue to grow and develop many of his dreams. We are gutted by the news of his death because he was to be an integral part of our 20 year celebrations this year. He would have been eighty years old in April and it was to be a year of milestones! On behalf of the College, we would like to pass our sincere condolences to Dot, Karen, Duane, Michael, Pauline, Barbara, Colin and their families who have lost a visionary husband, father and grandfather. We are blessed with many memories of this remarkable man who will go down in the history books as a Greytown legend and a true gentleman. A well-attended memorial service was held at Wembley College on Saturday, 14 January and it was a fitting farewell for his family, friends, colleagues and scholars. The weather was perfect and the mood was one of celebration, for a life well lived. Hamba kahle.

Kammaland Primary news

Kammaland Primary opened its doors on Wednesday 11 January. Chelsea Joubert, Ydvi Chandar, Ndabenhle Mkhize and Amahle Nkosi do their morning activity with Grade RR teacher Angie. We are very excited about 2017 and have reached our target number of children. Kammaland has started a 2018 waiting list and enrolled our first Grade 2 children this year.

What’s on the menu for 2017 EXPECT a year of purple food think cauliflower, sweet potatoes, asparagus, elderberries and corn. This year is being called the year of the egg yolk, while Spanish spices are the next big thing, as is the Middle Eastern spice mix, baharat. Food trend analysts are predicting growing sales of “ugly” food (misshapen fruit and vegetables) as well as a growing interest in vegetable bowls and smoothie bowls. The Food People, a UK-based company of food trend-spotting experts, have placed their bet on a return of carbs, a growth in nonalcoholic drinks, faux food, vegans coming into vogue, and gut health. Gut health struck a chord with Stephen Billingham, president of the SA Chefs Association and director of HTA School of Culinary Arts. “It’s quite the buzzword locally with its focus on probiotic foods. I used to think pickling was about preservation - apparently not. Anything fermented is, we are told, good for the gut.” Billingham warns that trends take a while to reach South Africa. “If it’s hot here then it probably trended internationally in 2015.”

If you think lamb and beef are expensive now, wait until April, when the prices will skyrocket as a result of the drought. What is becoming popular at home, mostly due to a weakened economy, he says, are cheaper cuts of meat, tapas-style eating, and a celebration of vegetables. “If you think lamb and beef are expensive now, wait until April. The prices will skyrocket as a result of the drought when even breeding stock had to be slaughtered. That will have a knock-on effect on the price of chicken and

fish.” He predicts a focus on secondary cuts of meat as well as organs. “The stuff our grandparents would eat - not so much tripe, but liver, kidneys and beef cheeks.” He also expects a growth in “conscientious cooking”, with chefs making a conscious attempt to minimise waste, and a growing call from consumers for organic, ethically produced food.

ADVER TISE!

If you have to borrow, read this THE festive season has come and gone, unfortunately it left some in a desperate position. It is unfortunate that some consumers do not plan for the new year during the festive season and find themselves having to borrow for essentials such as school uniforms, registration fees, stationery, transport money and food, etc. Because of desperation, these consumers might borrow recklessly and from unregistered credit providers, says Mpho Ramapala, Education and Communication manager at the National Credit Regulator (NCR). She advises consumers to only borrow from registered credit providers. Consumers should plan in advance on how to repay the loans and most importantly determine whether they can afford the repayments, she further advised. The National Credit Act (NCA) allows a consumer to be given a preagreement statement and quotation when seeking credit. These outline the terms and conditions of the proposed agreement and all costs involved such as interest, monthly service fees, once off initiation fees, credit insurance if there is any, a deposit if required, number of installments, date of first installment, and last installment, etc. Consumers should always request a quotation when seeking credit. Once a consumer signs the credit

agreement, they have an obligation to honour the terms and conditions of that particular agreement including repayments. This basically means that if a consumer, for some reason cannot honour their repayments, they should communicate their situation with their credit providers. They should not avoid the situation with the hope that it will get better in time because it only gets worse advises Ramapala. Ramapala warns that consumers should never sign blank credit agreements as they won’t have control over other information added afterwards. Tips for borrowing wisely: • Borrow as little money as possible. Borrowing to fund your children’s education or a home loan can be a good thing, but borrowing for consumables or to pay off other debt or to fund luxuries such as holidays or designer clothing can condemn you to a lifetime of debt. Only borrow for what you really need. • Avoid paying over too many months as it will cost you more in the end. • If there is credit insurance, familiarise yourself with the terms of the insurance to avoid surprises when you most need the insurance. • Be honest - make sure that you honestly disclose all the information required by the credit provider. Dishonesty may cause you to lose the

protection offered by the National Credit Act. • Create a monthly budget and stick to it - work out how much income your family earns and what your total expenses are each month. Will you be able to pay for your new debt once you’ve covered all your expenses? You should also plan for unexpected costs such as if one of your family members is retrenched. • Always keep receipts of your payments as you might need these in the future. • Always include savings in your budget. • Pay your debts on time. Paying late will adversely affect your credit report and possibly your ability to take out credit in the future. If you think you cannot meet your monthly installments, call your credit provider immediately and try to rearrange payments. Do not wait until you skip payments. • Check your credit report regularly. This way you’ll be able to identify any errors and correct them. Under the NCA, you are entitled to one free copy of your credit report each year at any other time, upon payment of the inspection fee of the credit bureau if any. For a comprehensive list of registered and cancelled or lapsed credit providers, consumers can visit the NCR’s website www.ncr.org.za

THANK YOU for your support over 55 years.

LAST year was a helluva year. Sure, it started out hopeful, but then it all fell apart. Let’s not get caught by surprise again. Instead of preparing ambitious New Year’s resolutions like we did last year, let’s aim a little lower. 2016: Declutter your home. Really get organised and start the year off right. 2017: Buy a new shower curtain. Stop wondering if there’s a difference between black mould and just very, dark mould. 2016: Spend less time on Twitter. 2017: Spend less time on Twitter than Donald Trump does. 2016: Stop smoking more. 2017: Start smoking completely. 2016: Learn a foreign language. 2017: Delete the Duolingo app from your phone. 2016: Travel more. 2017: Travel to parts of South Africa you’ve never been to. 2016: Spend more time with family.

2017: Mute all of your family members on Facebook so that you can still tolerate spending time with them. 2016: Drink less alcohol. 2017: Drink better alcohol. 2016: Save money. 2017: Drink better alcohol. 2016: Start exercising and eating right. Lose some weight.

2017: Stop standing in front of your open refrigerator eating cheese. Maybe put it on a plate and shut the door. 2016: Elect the first woman president and help South Africa enter a new era of excellence and social liberation. 2017: Buy a new shower curtain.

He was laid to rest on 31 December at his home in Ebovini. Siyamthanda and a friend were playing in a boat on Lake Merthley when he fell into the water.

Tips for a healthier 2017 A NEW year is a time for new beginnings, a fresh slate, a new start. Follow these tips for a healthier 2017 from Bonitas Medical Fund and get your year off to a great start. Be kind to yourself “There are no ‘New Year resolution police’, so be kind to yourself,” says the fund. “Resolutions are not about judgment or criticism from others, but about feeling better for your own sake. Although resolutions might differ, surveys over the years confirm that the top five remain around health, weight loss and fitness – whether it’s to make moves on that muffin top and get fitter, to stop smoking and drink less – the underlying theme is about improving our lifestyles.” Don’t make a resolution unless it is achievable No, you can’t lose five kilogrammes by the weekend or run a half marathon in two weeks’ time. Assess yourself, see what you are realistically capable of and take into account what could stop you from achieving that goal. When you have your goals, write them down and put it somewhere where you can see it daily. Break your goals into bite-sized chunks, check your progress and if you are on track great, if not, re-evaluate and adjust to keep you motivated. Get active South Africa is ranked one of the world’s top 20 overweight countries, with half of men and almost twothird of females physically inactive. Now is the time to change that and you will find that exercise also helps strengthen your mind and improve

your mood - it teaches you to persevere when you are at your most tired. It keeps us energised and mentally focused and improves work productivity … and of course exercise releases endorphins and dopamine the “happy” chemicals in your body. Getting fit does not have to be a one-hour workout every day on cardio machines or lifting weights. There are so many ways to keep fit including swimming, brisk walking, mountain biking and yoga or pilates. Mix it up so you don’t get bored. Goals achieved equal rewards Sticking to your programme or resolution, or goal - will allow you to track your progress and reward yourself. No, we don’t mean a double-decker hamburger, but rather a reward that doesn’t implode your resolutions. There is no greater motivation than success. A positive attitude helps Remember, no one is perfect. We all have bad days and in the case of dieting, “cheat” days, but don’t let that hamper your moti-

filling the great need to educate children with special needs, who are unable to cope with the mainstream at school. An urgent appeal is made to

the warm-hearted people of Greytow to assist this very special school with school stationery - crayons, paper, pencils, soft-cover exercise books, glue, etc., in the special collection box at Aheers Supermarket, or drop off at the Greytown Gazette office.

Book briefs 400 Things Cops Know – Street-Smart Lessons from a Veteran Patrolman Author: Adam Plantinga IT is no fun walking the line between good and evil and having to rein people in. From homicidal maniacs to child molesters, cops tread in the very darkest of humanity’s corners, and although the job is not without its perks, life on the street has a tendency to turn even the most optimistic of cadets into jaded and hardened law enforcers. In this book, Plantinga describes everything from the humorous to the downright horrific criminal types and situations patrollers deal with on a daily basis. Learn about the cop who stops arguments by walking into the room, sitting down and reading his newspaper. Understand that the police are often forced to act in inconclusive circumstances and moral grey areas, and accept that sometimes the only people you can turn to in a world that either fears or despises you are your own.
