A number of reasons to celebrate 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’.

Former Hillcrest Primary pupil’s fighting chance >> Give Bayleigh a chance to bounce back KALISHA NAICKER

OR former Hillcrest Primary pupil, Bayleigh Ellis, to celebrate her ninth birthday on 27 August was something she achieved against the odds and amid dire circumstances. For her family and friends it was a day to thank God because this young girl, with a tremendous fighting spirit, reached yet another

milestone. Bayleigh is talented, loves horses, and used to ride them, played hockey, sang in a choir, and modelled, but all that has come to a halt for the moment because she was diagnosed with medulloblastoma (cancer of the brain) in February this year. She soon had to exchange her passions for hospital beds, brain surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, drips, needles, lumber punctures

and operations. Soon after Bayleigh and her mother Veronica moved from Hillcrest to Johannesburg where her specialists are. However, the little champ is fighting for survival as there are not enough platelets at the blood bank due to a major shortage, which means her blood transfusions are limited.

Cumic Park is an eyesore residents

The dire situation at Cumic Park, which residents want restored to its former glory.

CONTACT THE FEVER

NOUGH is enough,” said angry Waterfall residents who claim that the Cumic Park in Link Road taints their beautiful suburb. According to residents the situation in the park has become unbearable. They claim that the park has become home to vagrants and with the overgrown grass and litter, this neglected piece of land is an eyesore. Concerned resident Pat Bezuidenhout said this provincial land is a serious security and health hazard. “It is a breeding ground for rodents, and is becoming a dumping ground. It could be an amazing asset to Waterfall. “The residents and community of

Waterfall have over the years tried to get permission to turn this once lovely spot into something that would benefit everyone, but without success. “Just before elections, the land was graded and cleared and then once again abandoned.” She said that something needs to be done to make this park a safe and family friendly environment. Another resident Aron Smith said his children love to play outdoors and if this park was cleared of the rubbish and overgrown grass it would make a great asset to the neighbourhood. “It is pointless trying to get the government to clean this area. Residents need to take action themselves. If we all work together we can restore the park and give our children a safe place to enjoy.” Hearing the pleas of the community the Waterfall Conservancy is hosting a public meeting on Saturday 10 September at 2.30pm at the Waterfall Methodist Church Hall, 1 Valley Drive, Forest Hills to put a plan of action in place to ensure the park is maintained in the future. Community support is vital for this to happen. For further information, contact Alan Dives on 082 897 1529 or Patricia Bezuidenhout on 072 244 3692.

The scene of the derailment in Hillcrest. TWO people died when a train derailed following a landslide in Hillcrest, paramedics said on Sunday. “A man and a woman died in the crash and were still trapped in the train wreckage,” said Netcare 911 spokesperson Chris Botha. Paramedics and the Durban fire department attended to the scene at the Delville Wood train station and had to travel along a gravel road

down the side of a mountain, cutting away fallen trees in order to access the wreckage of the goods train. The bodies of the two victims were cut away from the twisted metal and handed given to police on the scene. It is believed heavy rain on Saturday night caused the landslide. - Supplied.

Domestic workers targeted be aware BURGLARS normally target homes dur ing the day when nobody is at home, and while this still rings true, criminals are now targeting homes when people are home. This trend is spreading across Durban with domestic workers being the com mon victims of these robberies. The current modus operandi is: • accosting residents and/or domestic workers in the garden and/or driveway; • posing as municipal workers to be let inside the premises; • following the domestic worker to their place of work; • calling the domestic worker to the gate and then brandishing a weapon in order to be let in; and • entering through open doors and win dows In light of these trends, it is essential that anyone that is at home during the day, be it you, a domestic worker, gar dener, construction workers or a house sitter, be alert and undertake the neces sary security measures and precau tions to prevent falling victim to these crimes. Domestic workers are particularly targeted by these daytime robbers and it is therefore integral that you notify them about these trends and how to re act to any of the abovementioned situ ations. Tips to give your domestic worker: • Should anyone unexpected and/or uninvited approach the premises, do not let them into the premises or ap proach the gate to talk to them. Speak to them through an intercom or from the house. Contact your em ployer to find out if they are expect ing anyone. • Ensure that they have your security company and SAPS numbers on their phone. • Arm your external beams when in side the house and ensure that all se curity gates and doors are locked. • Do not leave keys in the security gates • Leave keys on the inside of the ex ternal door so that the door can be locked quickly should the need arise. • Should someone ring the doorbell, do not say that nobody is at home, rather say that they are unavailable and you will take a message. • Should you have to go outside, look through the windows first to ensure that nobody is outside.

Such bravery is rare RANJENI MUNUSAMY A13-YEAR-OLD schoolgirl showed more courage and leadership this week than South Africa’s contingent of elected leaders. Zulaikha Patel was at the forefront of a protest at Pretoria High School for Girls against a policy that prevented pupils from wearing their hair naturally. The protest drew attention to the discrimination and ridicule of black girls at various schools around the country, including racial slurs. School policies prescribing that pu-

pils’ hair should be “neat” require them to straighten or braid their hair, which exposes them to harmful chemicals and can be painful. In enforcing these policies, it has now emerged that some teachers taunt and insult young girls, including calling them “monkeys”. Zulaikha’s refusal to conform to unfair and discriminatory policies allowed other children to speak about their own hurtful experiences and forced the intervention and scrutiny of school policies by the Department of Education. For a 13-year-old who has faced punishment over her hair in the past and has often been brought to tears because of the insults she had to endure, Zulaikha displayed enviable courage to stand up for her rights. Such bravery is hard to find in our society. There are many members of the ANC who are increasingly anxious about the state of decay of their organisation and the political leadership that continues to plunge the country into

Unemployment can swiftly become a bad memory BOTH Herman Mashaba and Solly Msi manga have massive mayoral potential for Johannesburg and Tshwane, and these cities should improve greatly! Both are determined to end the cor ruption that has left these cities facing great unemployment and near bank ruptcy, and have identified corruption as public enemy No. 1. I commend the EFF for their part in helping to bring change to Johannes burg and Tshwane, and encourage them

to deploy fighters to protect infrastruc ture projects there. With Mashaba’s entrepreneurial and corporate excellence and Msimanga’s credibility, unemployment can swiftly become a bad memory for Gauteng! Distraught ANC councillors are prob ably quivering and exclaiming “Beware, the Hermans are coming.” ROBERT NICOLAI

crisis after crisis. But they choose not to speak up. In the past week, the rand took another hammering after it emerged that the Hawks are again pursuing Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan on charges related to the operation of a special intelligence unit at the South African Revenue Service when he was commissioner. ANC secretary general Gwede Mantashe said on Tuesday that the party has “unreserved confidence” in Gordhan. He said the Hawks’ investigation is “unnatural” and was “delegitimised” by the way it had been conducting it. But despite the economic turmoil resulting from this investigation, the ANC continues to sit back and watch the chaos unfold. It has also repeatedly resolved at various high-level meetings that there should be reform and stability at state-owned enterprises (SOEs). Yet this week we saw more running battles between National Treasury

and Eskom and Denel. Both companies seem to be fighting off attempts by the Treasury to scrutinise their contracts with companies linked to the Gupta family. On Thursday, Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa was answering questions in Parliament and had the opportunity to pronounce himself on all these issues causing economic instability. He was also speaking in the wake of an announcement by asset manager Futuregrowth to suspend loans to state-owned enterprises due to uncertainty about how they are being run. Futuregrowth said it will proceed with financing SOEs only when “proper oversight and governance” have been restored. Denmark’s Jyske Bank followed suit, saying it will stop lending money to Eskom. Ramaphosa avoided speaking clearly on these issues, even when asked about the government effectively being at war with itself. He said those making “sensational statements”

White monopoly capital THERE is much talk about the privations of white monopoly capital, especially after the ANC failed to lift the majority of people out of poverty after 22 years of governing. Let’s learn from up north. Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe had the same hatred for white monopoly capital and destroyed most of it in his land. After destroying the economy, he turned around and asked Western countries to give him $1,5 billion to prevent mass starvation. But where does that money come from? It comes from the taxes earned from the same white monopoly capitalists he hates and who put up factories, mines, farms and businesses in West-

Phipps and the All Black boot WHEN Australian replacement scrumhalf Nick Phipps launched an All Black rugby player’s boot into the stands during Saturday’s rugby championship clash, he inadvertently did planet Earth a massive favour by providing a vital piece of forensic evidence to the police regarding the origin of these extraterrestrials. When next the Springboks meet this outer-space team (in a fortnight), I hope this issue will be sorted out. If not, they might as well hoist the white flag. No sense in trying to contest an unfair contest. Seriously, though, I thought Phipps launched the boot in the direction of the New Zealand commentators in an effort to shove it as far down their throats as possible. I hope it was a direct hit.

ern countries so they can generate employment, food to eat and tax income for their governments to function. Included in those Western governments’ budgets are budgets for aid amounting to billions of dollars for developing countries. So he does not want to nurture white monopoly capital in his own country, but he rather wants to beg for tax dollars earned from the white monopoly capitalists of other countries. Shows the idiot he is, and all those communists and socialists in this country who subscribe to the same ideology. Look no further than the Freedom Charter, which says that all the commanding heights of the economy

should refrain from exacerbating the situation and that processes were under way that will “put the matter to bed”. “We are taking all measures possible to ensure economic growth,” Ramaphosa said. You would struggle to find more woolly statements at a time when people are searching for strong leadership and clear direction. Such statements could hardly serve to calm investor and financier jitters about the state of the country. Last weekend, the Guptas announced that they will be selling their shareholding in all their SA businesses. While this is to be welcomed, there is no indication that their stranglehold on people in the ANC and the state has been broken. For as long as people keep silent, the looting of the state will continue and South Africa will remain on its downward spiral. People like Ramaphosa and Mantashe should take lessons from the 13-year-old girl who stood up for her rights and spoke truth to power. • Ranjeni Munusamy is a political journal ist and commentator for the Daily Maver ick ranjeni.munusamy@gmail.com

Stick to the issues you understand WHEN the Phat Joe Must Go petition started doing the rounds, I signed it. I did not think it would actually get rid of him, but I assumed that the important people in suits at East Coast Radio would tell him to tone it down a little. I was mistaken. I turned on the radio recently and heard him discussing a listener’s opinion that prescribing Ritalin would lead to drug and alcohol addiction. To my horror, he gave credence to this. He went on to say that ADHD should not be treated and that children’s extra energy should be channelled into sport. No parents relish the idea of pump-

ing chemicals into their child. However, this is a real disorder with serious ramifications for education, and intervention is therefore important. The idea that extra energy can simply be “channelled into sport” is like saying that sinusitis can be treated by blowing your nose. No, no, Phat Joe. This is a debilitating medical condition that is more real than your imaginary medical degree. Stick to issues that you understand. I will not turn on my radio on the way home from work again.

I then decided to take on this 'project' personally, and I am asking ‘prayer warriors’ to join me in prayer for a speedy healing and recovery for this little body. “I have put Bayleigh's bank account details on a Facebook page should anybody feel led to donate, no matter how small, to assist [Bayleigh].” May updates the page daily, and coming from a medical background, she knows the day-today out-of-hospital costs this little girl’s family will incur. “From not wanting to eat for days to craving her favourite food, she also has to have a compulsory daily shake that costs R35

RAINBOW and Smiles will be hosting a “dinner ‘n dance” on Saturday 10 September to raise funds for the organisation. Rainbows and Smiles was founded in 2012 and aims to provide emotional, social and financial support to families and caregivers in need when a child (or children) of that family is diagnosed with cancer. Rainbows and Smiles encourage childhood cancer advocacy and Gold Ribbon Awareness to educate people, in the hope of promoting early detection. Their principles include creating hope, smiles and relief for families and caregivers of children with cancer. According to Debbie Riggen of Rainbows and Smiles the organisation relies heavily on public support that enables them to support many families where children are fighting cancer. “With September being Childhood Cancer Awareness Month I planned this event to take place during the month to help create awareness,” she said. Tickets are R300 per person or R3 000 for a table of 10 or companies wanting to treat their staff and include a sit-down dinner at the Kloof Country Club. All proceeds will go to Rainbows and Smiles and ultimately will be spent on the children. “People who can't attend, but who would like to help in some way, donations of items for auction are still needed or donations can be made directly into the Rainbows and Smiles bank account. Use the reference “Dance, donation” and your name. “Proof of payment can be emailed to me,” said Riggen. There will be a raffle as well as a mini-auction.

Township pool players invited POOL has always been seen as a township game, played over sundowners amid great competition. This, however, is about to change as BFF Events is taking the game to another level when players can compete for a title. They are introducing the Kasi Table Pool Tournaments, when players between the ages of 18 and 35 play for the title of champion. The tournaments will focus on township communities where the game is seen as a hobby rather than a professional sport. “In our launch and first event tournament of this nature, we will be taking this game only to eThekwini Municipality townships during the remaining months of 2016. Next year we will take the games throughout KZN and eventually throughout all South African townships,” said BFF Events COO, Miss Percy. eThekwini Municipality townships include Clermont, KwaNdengezi, Phoenix, Wentworth, Umlazi, KwaMashu, Lamontville, Chesterville and the Durban CBD.

Gogo’s independence, thanks to Hact FEVER REPORTER

NCHANGA’S Nombango Bhengu is in her late sixties and supports a family of nine, including four grandchildren, all on her pension and a small wage earned by her son who works on a farm nearby. She has lost two of her six children. Successive strokes a few years ago

left her bedridden, unable to use her arms and with limited speech. A health care-worker from the Hillcrest Aids Centre Trust (Hact) encouraged Bhengu to join a Gogo Support Group and exercise weekly. Slowly, she recovered her mobility, and this year proudly took part in the 400m relay races and “pass the ball” event at the Gogolympics in Molweni.

“My arms are so strong now I can hold my grandchild, which makes me very happy,” she says. Bhengu urged the community to support the Hillcrest Aids Centre trust as they are always finding ways to support members of the community that are in need. “Thank you to Hact for enabling me not to let my illness get me down,” she added.

Soulfood project a success THE Robin Hood Foundation’s Soulfood project was an amazing success thanks to O&O Café Westville and The Quintessential Group. These companies hosted a wine evening fund-raiser in July which helped raise funds for a dream of the foundation’s chairlady, Cindy Norcott, to host a soup kitchen in communities they visit each month. On 17 August this vision was brought to life when the Robin Hood team joined by an incredibly selfless group of volunteers and sponsors did the first of their Soulfood outreach projects in the rural community of Ntshongweni.

In groups of 150, the gogos and mkulus were led into and seated in the hall, served tea and hotdogs and biscuits by the volunteer team, with Qadasi and Mahinqa adding to the vibe with their very South African music entertaining the gogos and mkulus, who were dancing, clapping, singing and enjoy this special morning just for them. Each guest was then blessed before their departure with a huge, heavy and full “gogo bag” containing non-perishable foods, blankets, clothing, scarves, beanies and other winter warmth items as well as a tub of chicken and vegetable stew.

Choc ‘goes for gold’ SEPTEMBER is International Childhood Cancer Awareness Month and Choc Childhood Cancer Foundation will be selling gold ribbons to create awareness of childhood cancer. Agie Govender, Choc KZN regional manager said: “Our children are far more precious than gold. “September is the gold ribbon month and this is a time where globally, countries honour and remember children and families affected by this rare disease, and help rally awareness on the early warning signs of childhood cancer. “Choc Childhood Cancer Foundation SA encourages South Africans to ‘go for gold’ by purchasing the gold ribbon from the online Choc store or nearest Choc offices. The ribbon is to be worn throughout September. This will go a long way in highlighting the disease and showing support to those battling cancer around the world,” she said. Govender urged the community to join in the campaign to paint South Africa in gold to make others aware of this disease and help our children have hope and fight this terrible disease. “Choc is the only organisation in

Give back to those who give APART from keeping customers happy and tummies full, the team at My Chef love to give back. They are constantly on the lookout for individuals and teams who make a difference in the lives of residents. The My Chef team visited St Theresa’s Home, SPCA and Bobbi Bear, and recently St Martins. St Martin’s Diocesan Home for Children was this month’s recipients of their surprise food delivery. They delivered a selection of tasty treats for the children, made up of mini bunny chows, cheese and tomato croissants, butternut and feta wraps as well as cupcakes and tomato tarts. The home, which was founded in 1897, is one of the longest serving children’s homes in South Africa, that cares for abused, orphaned, abandoned and neglected children. The home provides an essential and important service in the community as well as outreach projects that help children in need. Principal Ishara Poodhun and her team do great work and overcome countless obstacles every day. Their pay-off line “in a world full of people who couldn’t care less, be somebody who couldn’t care more” is something to remember and act on. Jenni Jackson, Blue Strawberry and My Chef owner, said: “We try our best to set aside time to give back to those who do good and feel it’s important to show our appreciation to those in the field who give back to the community every day.” My Chef is asking the community to help them select a worthy cause dedicated to women, by emailing your suggestion to Sheldon@mychef.co.za as well as posting onto our Facebook page using #MyChefCares. By highlighting a worthy charity, we then have the opportunity to give back the way we know how – by making meals for community heroes at their place of aid. - Supplied.

Charity begins at SPCA I

NTERNATIONAL Day of Charity was celebrated on Monday, 5 September and the Kloof and Highway SPCA thanks everyone who makes everyday a day of charity. "Words can never fully express how grateful we are at the Kloof and Highway SPCA for the amazing people who support us each day to help us make a difference in the lives of animals," said Lisa Mörck, SPCA PR and outreach officer "Thank you to every volunteer who works in our charity shops, that walk our dogs or socialises with our cats, to those who remember to swipe their MySchool card, or have joined the Litres for Education drive, adopted an animal from us, brought in a stray, thank you to all our kennel sponsors and debit order donors, to those who have hosted an event for our SPCA. "To those who have left a lasting legacy in your will for the animals, to every person who donates their unwanted items for us to sell in our charity shops, to every person who visits the animals to give them treats or donate toys to enrich their lives.” The Kloof and Highway SPCA receive no government funding and rely

solely on the generosity of the community to enable us to continue our work in animal welfare.

ADVERTORIAL: Cancer isn’t

a single disease – part 1 Maxhealth PET DIET www.maxhealth.co.za

FAR too often we read headlines saying “Researchers in Blogostan have discovered a mechanism to kill cancer cells – this could the end of cancer!” This kind of headline betrays the inexcusable ignorance of the journalist. Cancer is not one disease like typhoid or cholera and more than Ford=vehicle. Vehicle is a big term encompassing a wide variety of transports like cars, motorbikes, trucks, military tanks, etc. Tumours are benign (won’t spread elsewhere) or malignant (tend to be more invasive and will spread to other organs – some sooner than others). When we use the term “cancer” we are generally referring to malignant tumours. Tumours are particularly common in domestic animals like cats and dogs for different reasons to humans. Firstly and most importantly, pets are highly inbred which leads to additional copies or damaged copies of genes, which then don’t function normally. Abnormal functions may include unchecked growth (the very definition of a tumour), abnormal function (eg in the hormonal condition Cushing’s Syndrome) or a propensity to spread (metastasis). Since each tumour arises from the individual’s own, unique DNA, often through chance mutations, cancer cannot be treated as a homogenous disease to be “cured” by one approach. As an oncologist, I use surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, photodynamic therapy and immunotherapy for different patients with similar diseases. It is a subtle and insidious disease that cannot be simplified to a word. - Dr Zambelli

1 Club is a non-profit fund raising organisation which was formed in 1962 by a group of women under the chairmanship of Norma Rattray. As the group consisted of 31 volunteers, the club was named accordingly, and membership remains at a maximum of 31 members, who work on a voluntary basis. The main aim of the 31 Club is to raise funds for charities in KwaZuluNatal. The 31 Club is a very successful organisation, with 98% of all funds raised being distributed to selected and monitored charities, which the club has done for over 53 years. The most important aspect of the

charity organisation is that no cash is handed to any charities, rather they establish what each charity requires and then purchase and/or source the items, deliver them and check on the charities on an ongoing basis. In order to raise funds the club holds functions during the course of the year. All catering and décor for all fund raising functions is done by the members of the club, with different themes each time and with great attention given to detail and presentation. There are over 200 “sleeping members” who assist with various functions, offering their time and expertise in the organisation and implementation of their fundraising events. On Thursday 1 September the club hosted a Spring High Tea at St Agnes Church in Kloof, were over 200 women attended and part took in the fun activities.

THE Kloof and Highway SPCA hosted their annual rabies vaccination clinic recently. Over 630 pets from our community were vaccinated. The rabies vaccination clinic was a fol lowup to the first clinic the SPCA started in June 2012 following the dramatic in crease in positive rabies cases at that time, and is hosted every year at the SPCA. Rabies vaccinations need to be done an nually to ensure the vaccine remains effec tive, and thereby not only protects your companions, but also your family and com munity. The SPCA advises that pet owners speak to their veterinarians to ensure their pets are up to date and how to manage the process. Supplied.
