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.

Rolene Strauss was crowned Miss World at the weekend and now features in a long list of remarka ble women who continue to make a difference to the countries they live in and the world. 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’. Clearly South Africans will continue to make great strides despite the negative news that some times comes to the fore. The Fever would like to wish all our fantastic cli ents and readers a wonderfully happy festive sea son and here’s to welcoming 2015 in style.

Dear Readers, TODAY marks the end of another year for the Hillcrest Fever, and as the festivities kick off for this season, let us reflect on moments that touched our lives and the community this past year. 2014 has been marked by persistent challenges in our economy with price inflations (food, electricity, fuel, etc.). We had weather catastrophes and crime

own challenges this year, but as we enter 2015 we renew our pledge to you to do our very best to continue to be the most accurate, fair and balanced source of news, opinion, features, sports and entertainment in the Upper Highway Area. We will continue to be open and honest with our readers and we assure you that the new year will be one never to be forgotten. Our hearts go out to those who lost loved ones this year and those experiencing difficulties of all types this holiday season. We extend sincere and warm wishes to our Hillcrest Fever family for a safe and peaceful festive season, and a happy and prosperous 2015. Kalisha Naicker Senior Journalist Hillcrest Fever

Giving beggers money is a nono Hillcrest Fever

@HillcrestFever

>> Residents are asked to refrain from giving money to beggars KALISHA NAICKER

Clearing the railway line are from left: Siyabonga Mdlangathi, Bhikisa Msomi, Nkosi Ntomb ela, Gabriel Ncube and Thabane Nzi mande.

HE next time a beggar approaches or passes you and you want to give them money, stop and think first, because your “kindness” could be one day be illegal. This is the message from the Hillcrest non-profit organisation, Phuma Okhoneni Garden Project (POGP), that aims to get beggars off the street and into a sustainable income-generated project. Thabane Nzimande, POGP chairman said there was a concern that beggars were growing in numbers in Hillcrest, resulting in the formation of the NPO three years ago. “Our aim is to help beggars and street children become self-sufficient and to encourage the public

not to support them,” he said. “We also acquired a grant from the municipality, which has helped the organisation to fulfill our aim of instilling a culture of ‘work’ instead of ‘beg’ and I am mentoring beggars and helping them become independent.” He said last week many beggars donned their work boots and helped

cleaned the rail reserve of litter and were paid for their efforts. Nzimande urged the public not to give money to the beggars. “I understand that their plight does affect us all and we relent and give them a coin, however, I ask that instead of throwing them a coin, you donate to the POGP.”

“All the transactions are audited and our books are open to scrutiny.” Marge Mitchell, the treasurer of the organisation, also urged residents to not support begging. She said begging should be illegal and those who give change to beggars are supporting this activity. “This is an ideal project to decrease

the amount of beggars on our street and get them into a full-time incomegenerated project.” “I urge residents to support this project as it will ultimately benefit the entire community of Hillcrest,” she added. To contribute to the project, or for more information, contact Mitchell on 083 419 3807.

Beef up home security ENFORCE Security is appealing to residents of the Upper Highway area to beef up their home security measures as suburbs come under siege by brazen armed robbers invad ing homes and assaulting residents. In recent weeks home invasions have oc curred in Hillcrest, Waterfall, Gillitts, Kloof, Summerveld, and Crestholme. Hijackings have also been reported in the area. Police and private security experts have therefore urged residents to take heed of the crime wave and ensure that their homes are sufficiently safeguarded against what appears to be a gang targeting homes. A “layering” system of security has been rec ommended, starting with the space outside residents’ properties and moving inwards through to their perimeter fencing, yards, houses, and then inside their homes. However, Enforce director Derek Lateg an has warned that even this is not enough, as the main priority should be early detec tion. “Many people believe that a home alarm system made up of magnetic con tacts on doors and windows, and passive sensors within the home is enough to warn them of intrusion. But they are wrong. “More often than not, when your home

alarm goes off, the intruders are already in side your house; it is already too late. The key question here is: ‘How soon do I want to know that someone is trying to break into my home? When they are in my yard? Climbing through my window? Or standing in my bedroom? “The sooner you know that someone is trying to gain access to your property the better, so installing detection measures as far away as your perimeter fence is of ut most importance. Being able to detect criminals even earlier than that though, is first prize.” Lategan explained that the ideal securi ty strategy was based on the 4D concept which referred to Deter, Detect, Delay, and Defend, and since even the best deterrents often made little difference to criminals’ in tentions, the key was detection – early de tection. “If you are able to install measures that alert you to movement outside your perim eter then do it; even if this just means simply fitting motion sensor lights to garner atten tion when someone is out there. If not, then it is integral that your first point of detec tion is on your perimeter wall or fence, and all gates.

Feedback on gaseous smells report

ETCARE 911 paramedics rushed to Shongweni on Wednesday after receiving a call that a child had been injured after falling from a train near the Devilwood Train Station in the Shongweni Valley. According to Netcare 911 paramedic Chris Botha, a seven-year-old boy was riding to school on the train. The children blocked the doors from closing and stood in the entrance while the train was hurling down the line. “As the train entered a tunnel it caused the child to be sucked from the train, hitting his head against the concrete and falling to the ground. With severe injuries to his head the child managed to grab his school tie and strap his head back together,” Botha said. “He then tried to crawl out of the tunnel to get help. As luck would have it a group of off-road bikers went for a ride in the rural area and found the critically injured boy lying next to the tracks.” The bikers called SA Can who immediately dispatched Netcare 911

“The minute someone makes any at tempt to climb your wall, cut through your fence, or derail your gate, you have to know. Your alarm system has to trigger immedi ately as you need to give yourself as much time as possible to call for help, or get to safety.” Detection measures such as external beams in yards, Remote Video Verification via cameras, and sensors fitted to the out side of your home are highly recommended, Lategan said. “We are not saying that a basic alarm system is no longer needed. On the contrary, knowing when an intruder is entering – or has entered – your home is imperative. Of course you have to know. “What we are saying though, is that you should have been aware of their presence long before they came anywhere near your home. After all, how much can you really do if they are already inside, possibly holding a gun to your, or a loved one’s, head.” Lategan emphasised that Enforce was not being alarmist by giving out these warn ings, but, equipping residents with the reali ty they are currently faced with. Having this knowledge and advice would not only assist in making the right decisions when consid ering their home security measures, but also keep them as safe as possible –perhaps even save lives. supplied.

SUBSEQUENT to the article published in the Hillcrest Fever titled “Gaseous smells leave residents fuming” on 19 April, where residents pointed fingers at EnviroServ for a toxic stench in the area, the company addressed the community on Wednesday 11 May. According to Esme Gombault, group operations director, EnviroServ has operated over 35 years. She said that EnviroServ offers responsible waste management solutions which do not impact negatively on our staff, communities and the environment, we are an integral part of society. “The company complies with legislation governing the waste management industry, something the company has always endeavored to do,” he said. Gombault said EnviroServ learnt about odour problems experienced at the Plantations Estate and the surrounding suburbs within five kilometres radius of the Shongweni landfill site. “As soon as we became aware of the concerns, EnviroServ actively encouraged community members who experience odours to contact the EnviroServ call centre. All complaints received were logged, investigated and analysed in an effort to learn more about the most likely sources of odours,” he said. “The company decided, in consultation with various community representatives, to set up an airquality monitoring station within the Plantations Estate where the bulk of the recent complaints originated.” Gombault said in early April EnviroServ requested independent air quality specialists GeoZone Environmental, (Department of Labour Approved Inspection Authority Cert number OH036CI04) to conduct an additional air-quality assessment at the Plantations Estate and Shongweni landfill site. “The first phase of sampling was initiated on 11 April and terminated on 26 April. The results have been compared with the records of air sampling stations at numerous other locations in the area, which have been collected over the last 12 years,” he said. She said the following results

were reported by GeoZone: • Average ambient concentrations of all measured contaminant compounds at the off-site monitoring locations (Summerveld and Plantations Estate) were well below the relevant long-term (annual) South African ambient air quality standard (Benzene) and environmental assessment levels (EAL). • Average ambient concentrations of volatile organic compounds (VOC) at the monitoring locations on the Shongweni site during the sampling period were well below the South African long-term (annual) environmental assessment levels. • Average ambient concentrations of ammonia at the on-site monitoring locations during the survey period were below the relevant longterm (annual) EAL. • Average ambient concentrations of aldehyde compounds at the on-site monitoring locations were well below the relevant ambient air quality reference guidelines. • Average ambient concentrations of hydrogen sulphide at the onsite monitoring locations during the survey period were below the relevant long term (annual) EAL. “On the basis of these results, GeoZone concluded that average ambient concentrations of several VOC were higher at the Plantations Estate monitoring station than at one or both of the monitoring stations on the Shongweni landfill site. “This suggested a contribution by a more local source of these VOC than the landfill site (located 3350m distant). Based on international risk assessment standards, GeoZone reported that ambient air quality on the boundaries of the Shongweni landfill site and at the Plantations Estate posed a low general health or cancer risk to exposed individuals during the survey period,” she said. Gombault added that EnviroServ remains committed to working with communities to identify the origin of the odours. To this effect, further air sampling is being done at the Plantations Estate to validate the findings of the initial report.

HILLCREST High is involved in a number of outreach projects. Their “Wild at Heart” team collected al most 5 000 litres of water, which has subsequently been redistributed to those in need in the Mtubatu ba area. The project enjoyed support from many parents and pupils. The Wild at Heart team, led by Jenny Steytler, were delighted to see that their effort in this recent water collection drive, had paid off. In a joint effort with Boxer outlets, the dropoff took place on Thurs day 21 April in KwaNkombose Tradition Area, Mtub atuba. The induna, Mr Mkhwanazi, allowed the use of the local community hall where approximately 400 people came to fetch water. Steytler said the drought is still very serious in these regions. KwaNk ombose in particular is very dry and according to lo cals “there is no water”. “Apparently five litres of water sells for R20. It is not difficult to believe that in an area where people have no access to water and no money to pay for water residents came rushing in, desperate to collect at least a five litres of free water,” he said. Boxer also donated a 100litre Jojo tank to a local crèche, as the area is not supported by a gov ernment grant, as well ensuring each person left with a loaf of bread. Hillcrest High was grateful to help the KwaNk ombose community in this small way and it brought home just how precious a resource water is. In the words of Thomas Fuller: “We never know the worth of water until the well is dry.” The community’s gratitude went to Jenny Steytler, who coordinated the collection, Janet Leg emaate, who was very active in liaising with differ ent people and the pupils who are members of Wild at Heart, who assisted.

Nursing sister turns gardener >> Communities become selfsustainable KALISHA NAICKER Kalisha.Naicker@media24.com

PPER Highway nursing sister Sthombe Mkhize is changing her community - one garden at a time. Speaking to the Fever the 53-yearold said that although she is a nurse by profession, she has taken interest in small-scale commercial farming in Ngcolosi near Inanda dam. “I am currently out of work and instead of wasting my time, I obtained land from Chief Bhengu of Ngcolosi, and with the help of Induna Mr Ndlela, I planted vegetables which not only feeds the community, but provides jobs as well,” she said.

Mkhize said she began planting beans this season. “I chose beans because I planted in February, which is bean-planting season. Otherwise I am keen on doing leafy vegetables.” She said that there is a definite need for this project in the community. “I feel that there is a need to plant vegetables, not only due to inflation, but food prices, especially vegetables, have skyrocketed.” She urged people with gardening skills to start food gardens in their area. “I believe this project will inspire gardeners, that in spite of the drought, there is some production to

be done, it’s possible if one’s determined.” Mkhize also appealed to businesses to assist in making this project a success. “Although I am doing the best I can with what supplies I have, I want to make this project bigger and better,” she said. “I appeal to sponsors for funding for my next operation which is cabbage planting. For my field I require 15 000 cabbage seedlings, fertiliser and tools, which is a costly venture,” she said. “Any help I can get in terms of funds and volunteers will be greatly appreciated.” To assist Mkhize, email mkhize.sithombe@gmail.com

Truly Grounded

, Crestholme and Inanda Dam

WHILE working as a waitron at “Stretta”, Ryan Schalkwyk, owner of Truly Grounded noticed the incredible quality of coffee being brewed professionally by the baristas of “Lineage Coffee”. He said he became aware that the owner of this coffee label, Craig Charity, was the SA Barista champion at the time, who then finished 15th at world champs 2014. “I saw this as a massive opportunity. I decided to approach Craig Charity for barista training, and he saw my excitement from the get-go. “Two months down the line I was so intrigued by making such a great product for others to enjoy, that I decided to plan a mobile coffee business launch. I worked for a few months on a parttime basis at “Lineage”, most shifts falling in the morning due to the massive rush of coffee orders. Three things were drilled into me at Lineage - cleanliness, consistency and speed. Thanks to the guys at Lineage, I became a passionate barista and coffee lover. “I have also completed a basics coffee training course with 13 staff members from the Blue Marlin Hotel in Scottburgh,” said Schalkwyk. He said that the Truly Grounded Café sprouted from a rapid growth of his interest regarding excellent coffee. “The name ‘Truly Grounded Café’ symbolises and represents my personal nature of being, ‘grounded’ and ‘true’ to myself. ‘Grounded’ symbolises the roots of my experience with coffee – committing to always delivering my best, thus improving the final product

people get to enjoy. At TGC, we hope to create a family sort of atmosphere, urging everyone to stay true to themselves. This is part of our business-with-a-purpose goal, as we would like to create a conscious approach to business and consumer life,” he said. “The lion represents the Lion of Judah, which symbolises great strength and prosperity, all while remaining grounded and true to his roots. It is also a symbol for our Earth-conscious approach.” Speaking about the product, Schalkwyk said: “Truly Grounded Café is committed keeping the environment ‘green’. In order to stay true to our commitment, we only use cups and lids which are biodegradable or compoatable. Our business cards are stamped from used paper cups,” he said. “We do not use long-life milk, as this takes a lot away from the coffee’s flavour. We therefore only use full cream milk, always fresh. “Our beans are roasted specifically for Truly Grounded Café, by Craig Charity under White Label Roasting. These beans are micro-roasted, ensuring optimised flavour of each coffee origin, and guaranteed freshness which too enhances the flavour and benefits of coffee. Our beans are guaranteed to be sourced ethically through mainly smallholding farms in Africa and South America, all grown in a sustainable manner.” Truly Grounded also create delicious and healthy freshly pressed juices, served in a glass bottle to keep it green.

What’s Up Waterfall

PHOTO: Robert Wedderburn

Waterfall, Valley of 1000 Hills W

ATERALL is a suburb of Hillcrest, lying directly north of Kloof and adjacent to Hillcrest and Forest Hills, barely 30 plus kilometres outside of Durban. And this is the main advantage of a stay in Waterfall - that you are on the outskirts of the city. The other rather obvious one is that one inevitably beats the heat of the city. In Waterfall, one is far enough from city life to 'escape' it, whilst remaining close enough to the pulse of all one still needs “We have been servicing the health for convenience. needs of Waterfall for the last Subsequently, Watereighteen years” fall functions as a sanctuary without depriving you of creature comforts.

dicates the proximity of a body of water which is reinforced by the rather lush, farm-like feel to the area. Like Kloof there are a lot of trees and subsequently bird life is also abundant. The proximity to Krantzkloof Nature Reserve is an added green belt that gives the area the feel of 'country' living. A stay in Waterfall, unless you have your sights set on spending time in Durban, will not leave you bereft of plenty to do in the vicinity. The villages of Kloof and Hillcrest are both worth a visit, and the Midlands Meander is on your doorstep. Hillcrest in particular has grown from a sleepy little village into a rather a busy suburb of the city. Hence gated communities and modern townhouse complexes overwhelm the former farm-type existence. If you are looking for an escape,

We enjoyed every second with her as our passion in life is to make all women feel beautiful,” said Comfort. Pink petals Health & Beauty Clinic Kloof sponsored a full set of lash extensions.

Speaking to the Fever about her love for music and the concert Herbst-van Rooyen said: “I have always dreamed about being an opera singer and when my eldest daughter was born I started singing lessons with a couple of our country's best singing coaches,” she said. “I have sung in numerous concerts with established classical as well as contemporary music artists in the Cape. My eldest daughter is now turning 17 and I am still singing.” Herbst-van Rooyen said she sings to bring people joy. “I choose exquisite music to help people forget about their worries and just bask in the beauty of the moment. Through my music I would like to inspire people to take up a long lost dream or passion and start developing it again. “My ambition is not to be famous, but to enjoy my singing and help people and animals through it.” She said she often does charity concerts like her last one in March

SPORT VICTORY for Villagers >> Local lads bring home the trophy

AND Rover Durban-Hillcrest Villagers Rugby Club were away to Ballito Dolphins on Saturday. Dolphins surprised many with their strong start in the first division this season, boasting a large and strong forwards pack that has dominated most of the side they have played thus far.

In the opening game in the afternoon, the consistently well performing Villagers 2nd XV totally dominated their opponents from beginning to end. The end score being 52-0 Jacques Gey Van Pittuis and Clifton Bridge were awarded Men of the Match. In the main game of the clubs' en-

counter, a tight and scrappy game evolved. Villagers did not create the continuity in play that they needed to display their abundance of talent and "close the door" on Dolphins. As a result of their errors that the relentless and hungry opposition graciously fed off of, the Ballito outfit were able to "level peg" the visitors for much of the game. Ultimately the game belonged to Vil-

Cows’ 100 Miles of Nowhere next month THE 2016 edition of the 100 Miles of Nowhere run by the Cows will take place at eight centres across South Africa on the afternoon of Friday, 24 June involving eager cyclists riding 160 kilometres on stationary training bikes in Durban, Johannesburg, Pretoria and Cape Town. The challenge is open to all cyclists and sporting enthusiasts and will raise funds for Childhood Haematology and Oncology Clinics (Choc) with riders able to take on the challenge either so-

lo or in a two- or four-person team. The South African leg of the event that was founded eight years ago by American cyclists and blogger "Fatty" Eldon Nelson, is organised by the KwaZulu-Natal herd of The Cows – a grouping of sportsmen and women who participate in a wide variety of sporting events to raise funds and awareness for CHOC. Venues: Cadence Cycle Performance Centres in Durban North, Hillcrest, Ballito and Pietermaritzburg in

KwaZulu-Natal, Bryanston and Wapadrand in Gauteng as well as Tyger Valley in Cape Town. Date: Friday, 24 June Time: 2pm to 7pm. - Supplied.

well-deserved bye this weekend. The club's third XV will do battle against Pinetown RC in a "Local Highway Derby" KZNRU 4th Division (Fowden Bowl Cup) encounter, to be played at The Durban Shongweni Club at 7pm on Friday night. All support would be appreciated. - Supplied.
