This week ONLINE www.hillcrestfever.co.za

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.

DETERMINED to succeed with everything she tackles, Khonsiwe Meyiwa, a 57-year-old granny from Inchanga, is making waves in her community by encouraging people to get educated and achieve their dreams. Meyiwa came to Inchanga in 1994 because of political violence in her home town of Swayimane, near Wartburg. After she was widowed in 1999, she started a crèche and after-school club when she learnt that a child nearby had died because of neglect. Caring for seven of her own children, and 13 grandchildren, she has dedicated her life to helping children and parents in her community. The inspiring go-getter founded the Hillcrest Aids Centre Trust (Hact) Gogo Support Group, and set up an adult education school. She is now a full-time, paid child support worker with Hact, running a support group focused on HIV prevention and life skills for 50 children. “I never finished school so I decided to educate myself and got my certificate at the age of 54. If I can educate myself at that age, so can others. A total of 15 parents at the school now have certificates.” Claire Hodgkinson, marketing and fund-raising manager at Hact, said these gogos are most affected by the HIV/Aids pandemic. “Many grannies have lost their children to Aids, and are left to care for their grandchildren. In many instances, one grandmother cares for more than 10 grandchildren after losing four or more chil-

dren. “While grannies are supposed to be relaxing in their retirement and taken care of, across our communities these grannies are stressed and struggling to put food on the table for their grandchildren,” she said, Hodgkinson added that gogos are also having to put these children through school, despite the fact that many of them cannot read or write as they were not formally educated during South Africa’s apartheid era. To add to the challenges some grannies face, their grandchildren can also have HIV/Aids and require more care and support than a healthy child would. “In response to this, Hact started a gogo support group project. “We currently have over 50 granny support groups operating across seven different communities, with roughly 2 000 grandmothers involved in total. The groups meet regularly to support each other in their plight as grandmothers affected by HIV/ Aids. “The groups engage in many stress-alleviation and skills-development activities, including sports and parenting skills training, bereavement counselling, sewing, gardening and crafts training. “The grandmothers hone skills that can help them bring in an income to support their grandchildren, and they are equipped with skills and support to enable them to meet the needs of their grandchildren,” she added. If you want support the gogos or find out more about the support groups, contact 031 765 5866.

Illegal dumping causes uproar HERE was uproar in Botha’s Hill on Wednesday when residents witnessed a group of men dumping barrels of dark liquid along Patna Road. Angered by this, the residents then took to social media to complain about and expose this illegal dumping. The complaint was also forwarded to council’s Environmental Section and Durban Solid Waste – and both bodies acted on the matter and contacted the company concerned. Bruce Black, senior environmental health practitioner from the health department, visited the site and has met with management at SprayPave (the company responsible for the dumping) and discovered that the product dumped was bitumen residue. “SprayPave acknowledged responsibility for the staff member’s actions and have begun to clear the site,” he said. Black inspected the site after the complaints and noted that the bulk of the product had been removed. “SprayPave staff were on site cleaning up at the time of inspection. The health [department] will continue to monitor the site and have instructed the company to implement strict controls over the disposal of partially empty drums to prevent a recurrence

His show titled "Restart" was one of his first after a nine-year break. Inspired by tropical moonlit evenings in Durban, he collaborated with Fabric & Textile Warehouse and Cazabella Jewellery to create the range. The challenge was making garments from fabric primarily used for interior designs. Models, Nana Mnyandu (Morck's muse) and Nathan Myburgh of Glamour-SA Models were among Morck's models, produced by Danny Moodliyar from Durban. Also showcasing was Hillcrest designer Skye van Wyk of Pengelly Clothing, making it an even more special event as Morck and Van Wyk have many ties in the Hillcrest area. - Supplied.

Our shameful politicians

RANJENI MUNUSAMY

S

OUTH Africa seems to have an oversupply of shameful politicians. Perhaps it is preferable to have many public representatives with terrible qualities than to be cursed with one truly abominable politician such as the U.S.’s Donald Trump. It is most disappointing that an organisation like the ANC, with a legend-

ary history and generations of outstanding leaders, now has shameful characters in positions of leadership. Even when people fall from grace, they survive politically and continue to serve in Parliament and the leadership of the ANC. Take, for example, Humphrey Mmemezi, the former Gauteng Local Government and Housing MEC. He was steeped in scandal for, among other things, abusing his governmentissued credit card on an official visit to Malaysia, using state funds to buy a painting worth R10 000 from McDonald’s and signing off on allowances for his daughter and five other employees of the Mogale City Municipality. Despite this, Mmemezi was elected to the ANC’s highest decision-making body, the national executive committee, and was moved from Gauteng to become a member of Parliament. This shows that the ANC ignores its own resolutions to purge its ranks of corrupt and discredited people, and instead rewards them. But Mmemezi

is not out of place in Parliament, where mediocrity and chaos reign. Sometimes it is utterly shocking what MPs say in the House. The minister of Energy, Tina Joemat-Pettersson, will probably go down in history for uttering the most confounding statement in Parliament. During her speech in this year’s State of the Nation Address debate, she said: “When a cow gives birth to a fire, that cow will lick that fire. You know why? When a mother gives birth to a fire, she will lick that fire, because she gave birth to that fire. When a fire burns, it rains, and the earth gets wet. Fire burns, but when it rains, the earth gets wet.” It is statements like these that have turned the South African Parliament into a joke, as people care less whether what they say makes sense or represents their constituencies. The level of disrespect for Parliament and its role in holding the executive to account escalated this week during a question session for minis-

ters. The Democratic Alliance (DA) had requested that an urgent question be put to the minister of Mineral Resources, Mosebenzi Zwane, about his false claim last week that Cabinet had approved his recommendation for a judicial inquiry into the closure of the Gupta family’s business accounts by South Africa’s banks. The claim was repudiated by the Presidency, which said Zwane made the statement in his “personal capacity” and it did not “reflect the position or views of Cabinet, the Presidency or government”. So when Zwane appeared in Parliament this week, you would think that he would at least be remorseful and acknowledge that he had falsified a Cabinet resolution. Even if he left it to President Jacob Zuma to decide whether he continues to serve in Cabinet or not, he should have displayed some respect for the institution of Parliament and the electorate by apologising for what he had done.

But Zwane, like some others who occupy those benches in the National Assembly, has no shame. He avoided answering questions about why he had lied and instead tried to justify the need for a judicial inquiry into the banks. Despite having been dressed down by the Presidency and the ANC, which called his behaviour “outrageous, appalling and shocking”, Zwane continued to do the bidding of his friends, the Guptas. Speaker Baleka Mbete shielded Zwane from having to answer questions from the opposition and another ANC MP, Bheki Hadebe, argued that the principle of “separation of powers” means that a member of the executive does not have to answer to Parliament. This is a fundamental distortion of the accountability regime. It is a grand irony that MPs address each other as “honourable” when many of them are far from it. • Ranjeni Munusamy is a political journal­ ist and commentator for the Daily Maver­ ick. ranjeni.munusamy@gmail.com

His apex priority is to avoid a downgrade by rating agencies. This cannot be achieved if his mind is unsettled. Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa has supported the minister, saying his integrity is unquestionable. He has also said that when a government works well, it should not wage war against itself. Let’s hope sanity prevails in the best interests of our country.

Dire implications for the country THE stand-off between Minister of Finance Pravin Gordhan and the Hawks has dire implications for our country. The allegations that the minister knew about a rogue unit that operated within his earlier tenure needs solid evidence and maybe needs to be tested in our courts of law. If the harassment of the minister

continues, the already volatile rand is going to depreciate further, leading to the intensification of poverty. The possibility of a credit rating downgrade to junk status seems probable. The timing of the investigation, just after the local government elections, seems strategic. This comes at a time after a recent Cabinet lekgotla that

gives President Jacob Zuma control over spending in the state-owned enterprises. The actions of the Hawks have once again created uncertainties and instability in the South African financial markets. When this happens, investors take their money out of the country, putting added pressure on the already volatile rand. The poor are affected the most as a result of increases in commodity prices. The minister needs to be left alone to do his job.

VIJAY SURUJPAL

Taxi fare increases ­ a surprise IMAGINE my surprise and the surprise of other commuters when I paid my usual R9 taxi fare on Monday morning only to be told that the fare has in­ creased to R10. I questioned when we were notified and was told there had been notices in taxis two weeks ago. Obviously I and many commuters must have been blind because we never saw any notification.

On the way back home that after­ noon, there were suddenly visible noti­ ces in the taxis. Give us ample notice about an in­ crease as you need us more than we need you. You transport us in vehicles that should have been scrapped years ago. Nothing worked in the taxi I trav­ elled in [on Monday] — there were no handles to wind the windows and the

heat and petrol gauges and speedome­ ter were all non­functional. According to an article I read in June, the taxi association was to give notice of fare increases to commuters before July 1, 2016, or else it could only increase fares in July 2017. So where is the fairness in this in­ crease? N. JONES

Govt must do what is right and find money THERE can be nothing more important in this country that spending money on education. If one goes back to the evil Bantu Education Act foisted upon the country by the National Party, it was an extremely poor education offered to black people, and to that extent I agree fully with the students’ demands for no increase in fees. I do not agree with the rioting or

buildings being burnt down, but on the other hand, the ANC and President Jacob Zuma have not shown themselves to be interested in listening to the hardship of their own people. Zuma could have been a great president but he has proved to be a disaster, like so many leaders in the world today who are putting state money in their pockets, money that should have been spent on education and not for the bene-

fit of politicians. So a message to Zuma and his greedy pals: do what is right for once in your lives, for the sake of our students who need to be well-educated. I fully support the students’ demand for no increase in fees for universities. Find the money. M.R. WOOLLAM

Don't let hearing loss dampen life HEARING loss is about much more than a reduced ability to perceive sound. Whether the loss is gradual or sudden, many people with hearing problems start disconnecting from the world around them. Often, people with hearing loss withdraw from their social lives being too embarrassed to ask family and friends to repeat themselves over and over again. They might be afraid they misunderstand a conversation and answer with wrong or embarrassing comments. You might be suffering from hearing loss and in many cases it happens so gradually, you might not even be aware of it. One of the first signs that your hearing might be deteriorating is difficulty to understand speech in noise. There is

hope. The Ear Institute has been treating people with hearing loss for over 40years. With 22 Ear Institutes across South Africa and Namibia, access to world-class hearing is within everyone’s reach. The Ear Institute offers world-class hearing care for your family and makes a visit to their facilities hassle-free. From easy access, safe and free parking to a free cup of Nespresso coffee, every appointment is a pleasurable and hasslefree experience. Cleaning services are done in-house for patients not to be inconvenienced by being without their hearing aids. Ear Institute provides world-class facilities but their focus remains on hearing care for people. Client service, after-sales service, receptionists, professionals and audiologist receive regular training to ensure that they have the latest information and the patients’ needs at heart. In addition, the Ear Institute offers a 30-day money back guarantee - you only pay if your hearing improves and you are completely satisfied. September is deaf awareness month; we would like to offer you a free hearing screening. Present this article at any Ear Institute during September to qualify. Enjoy life to the fullest again.

ONY de Freitas’s love for painting began when he was young, however, he decided to do it full-time 17 years ago. “I’ve been painting since I was a child and professionally full time since 1999. “I ran art workshops in Hermanus and now recently in KwaZuluNatal. I work from my home studio in Drummond overlooking the Valley of 1000 Hills. My works are currently exhibited at galleries in the Cape, Johannesburg, Pretoria, Clarens and Durban. Many of my works are bought for export.” He said art and music are his passions and he chose to invest in

both. He explains that music satisfies him emotionally, while art is on the intellectual and creative level. “My approach to painting is much like a jazz musician towards his music. I enjoy pulling together a plethora of apparently random strokes, but they all contribute to what I see as the final picture. “I work rapidly painting the initial sketch on the canvas with a paintbrush, much like a water colourist. Then I use a palette knife to apply thick textured paint. “As I apply layer upon layer much like in jazz music, I improvise and modify freely. The process is impromptu and I ad-lib in an impressionistic manner. As the painting evolves the end result is never pre-

dictable. “Using a palette knife forces me to be bold and decisive and prevents me from being overly precise - rather than a photographic style. I like to let the eye finish the picture. “A painting should be like a conversation, the artist shouldn’t do all the talking. Adding too much precise detail results in the artist boringly dominating the conversation.” His subjects vary from landscape to seascape and portraiture. “The common factor is my interest in the play of light on subjects. I recently held an oil painting demonstration at Danville High School. The day was filled with fun and portraits by famous Dutch painter, Rembrandt van Rijn.”

"It was great for the group to come out from behind their desks, get some fresh air and be active.

After putting in a sterling performance over the past two years, where HHS come third and then second, this year the team won the Padssa League.

Individual team members also performed well with Alex Kusel and Ryan Kippen excelling in the eThekwini Youth Championships. Kippen played in the KZN squad last year, in the SA Junior Championships and has been selected again this year. Also to be commended is Alister Comins, who has been a member of the chess team for five years, and has had a virtually unblemished season this year. The team is already looking forward to next year, but will miss its three matric players, who will leave a huge gap in the team. The team thanks Marriot and Mrs Kippen, who have been very generous in their sponsorship of the Hillcrest High Chess Team this year. Team members in rank order are: Benjamin Seip, Samuel Verster, Ryan Kippen, Alister Comins, Alex Kusel, Reece Fuller, Julia Schuaerte, Kyle Jansen Van Vuuren, Cameron Narain-

Pupils ‘flip’ for Browns fête HILLCREST High consumer studies pupils and staff helped with a fundraising event at the Brown's School Fête last weekend. Arriving at 8.30am, the pancake team were Mrs Jaideane Bega and pupils Hannah Matthews, Erryn Hinson and Katelynne Ilg. Five non-stop pancake-flipping hours later, the girls were all “battered out” and at 1.30pm the pancake dream-machine team had to

stop, as they ran out of batter. Mrs Bega thanked her pupils, who she said were "amazing". “The lady in charge, Karen Van Renen, was so helpful even when we flopped the first few before we got into the groove of making pancakes. It was such an awesome experience to support a school that does so much for their students. Our girls said that they are definitely in next year." - Supplied.

Highbury at Jaguar Primary School Challenge THE Jaguar Primary School Challenge has been running in the UK for many years and Highbury Preparatory School was proud to be part of the very first occasion that it was run in South Africa. The programme aims to stimulate young minds in STEM (science, technolo­ gy, engineering and athematics). Led by their teacher, Mrs Nqobile Adigun, Grade 6 classes at Highbury built mini racing cars and competed in the Inter­Schools Racing Competition which was hosted at High­ bury on Tuesday 30 August. “The boys were grouped into teams of four and given roles such in design, manu­ facturing, graphics and management,” explained Bianca Woolley, Highbury mar­

keting manager. “Each team learnt to use computer­aided design and manufactur­ ing techniques to make the cars and used CO2 compressed gas for propulsion to be able to race their cars. The boys were also responsible for making a graphic pit dis­ play and 10­page portfolio of the process they went through in designing their car.” The Highbury Centenary Hall was transformed into a racing centre with a 25­metre track and teams from Eden Col­ lege, DPHS and Highbury took part. Pro­ fessionals from the car industry judged the displays and the day ended with a cel­ ebratory prize giving in which Eden Col­ lege won first place overall. The Highbury Break Thru team won 'Fastest Car' and 'Best Engineered Car' and the Speed De­ mons team won 'Best Additional Chal­ lenge'. “What a superb learning experience for the Grade 6 boys ­ thank you Jaguar and a very well done to all the teams who participated,” added Woolley. Grade 6 Highbury Preparatory School pupils (from left) Christopher Young, Brent Hildebrand, Jack Martin and Ben­ jamin Cleator, proudly display their mini racing cars.

CLAUDETTE Lingenfelder was named the winner in the business category at the annual KZN Young Achiever Awards at a gala dinner on Saturday, 27 August at the Blue Waters Hotel. Finalists in 11 categories, ranging from environmental to sports, business to arts were selected from more than 1 000 nominees and judged by an independent judging panel. Over the past two years, Lingenfelder, owner and manager of Beauty Beyond, has used her business skills and passion for people to grow her business. "I am very thrilled to receive this award and honoured to have been nominated among such talented individuals. It is a great accomplishment for my business as well as for me personally.” She attributes her success to her motivational and hands-on business style. “Stay true to yourself and believe in yourself and you’ll be unstoppable. My favourite scripture from the Bible also refers to the power of belief, ‘I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me’.” A member of KZN Women in Business and Umhlanga Women Achievers, she strongly believes in the power of networking with like-minded business women. “Success in business is not measured by the awards you win, but by your small daily accomplishments. If you work hard, with passion and determination, you can achieve anything you put your mind to." - Supplied.

SPORT World champion’s ambitions continue

Hank McGregor is searching for another world ti­ tle when the showpiece event takes place in Brandenburg, Germany.

>> Upper Highway’s paddling icon, McGregor, heads to Germany

U

PPER Highway's paddling icon Hank McGregor is a veteran when mentioned in the same score as the ICF Canoe Marathon World Championships and despite six World Championship titles to his name already, his foot is still firmly on the gas as he eyes out another K1 and potentially a K2 title when the showpiece takes place in Brandenberg, Germany from 16 to 18 September. The venue for the 2016 event is not one that McGregor is familiar with, but the 36-year-old has spent time recently surveying the course and believes the German facility may well suit him better than the course in Gyor, Hungary where he won gold in the K1 event and silver in the K2 with doubles partner, Jasper Mocké. “After all the years of racing international marathon championships,

the German course is still one that I haven’t raced on,” the Euro Steel/Kayak Centre ace mentioned. “From what I can see, the course is far more open than last year’s. “Also it isn’t on a river, which will suit me more, and if the wind picks up then the race might become a little like a surfski race, which again should benefit me. “At about 210 metres, the portage is about three times as long as last year’s, so if you are not a strong runner then you might battle.” Despite his age qualifying him for the precursor to the World Championships – the ICF Canoe Marathon Masters World Cup – McGregor’s focus remains firmly on another senior gold medal in the K1 clash while also glancing at another shot at adding another K2 gold medal to the one he won with

Mocké in 2014. “I have raced in enough world championships to know what the pace will be and how intense the front of the race is going to be, so I am not concerned about how the race is going to play out. “Being fit enough, strong enough and healthy enough is always the most important thing for me and if I tick all those boxes then I know that I will be in with a chance of winning. “My partner, Jasper Mocké, is also in good form at the moment and came off a good win at the Breede Canoe Marathon recently, so if we can just make sure we remain fit and healthy then I think we should be in with a good shout in the K2 race as well. “Having narrowly missed out on gold in the K2 last year in the end sprint, we have got more than enough

motivation to rectify that this year and we are going out there to do our best and give it a proper shot,” added McGregor. The world’s best marathon paddlers will gather to attempt to dethrone McGregor – who has claimed the global K1 crown a remarkable four times in the past five years – and with the majority of the challenge likely to come from Europe, McGregor understands the threat that the rest of the field poses to his crown. “I can’t really single out any specific challenger but the Portuguese, Span-

ish and Hungarians always provide a really stern test. “Andy Birkett will also be there and he has been going really well with his World Cup win recently, so the field is going to be incredibly strong and I will need to make sure I am in good shape and healthy so I can be in with a chance,” explained a confident McGregor. - Supplied.
