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.

‘Amazing Race for China’ Hillcrest Fever

@HillcrestFever

>> Help local bring home the medals KALISHA NAICKER

ATERFALL Border Collie, China, is trained to be a world-class athlete and due to his skill, his handler/owner Taryn Murphy and himself have made the South African agility team. China and Murphy will be travelling to Zaragoza in Spain to compete at the Agility World Championships which begins on 22 September. Their expectations for the world championships, Murphy said, are quite simple: "We're going to do the best we can.” However, according to Murphy the cost of the trip is overwhelming and as a teacher she is unable to afford it. She said that she, along with a few supporters and friends, have been hosting various fundraising events to be able to reach her goal of over R30 000 (which is the minimum cost of the trip). “One of our up and coming fund raising events is called the ‘Amazing

Race for China’ and yes, it will be based on the famous TV show, The Amazing Race,” she said. This race will take place on Tuesday 9 August in the Upper Highway area with various pit stops and challenges to be completed. Murphy urged the community to come out in their numbers and support her as she is not only attending the championships for China and herself, but it is also to bring back the medals to South Africa. “If you are adventurous, good at solving puzzles, have good ball skills and aren’t scared of any furry or scaly creatures, then this race is for you,”she said. Teams are limited to two people per team, and at least one team member must have a valid driver’s license. The cost per entry will be R400 per person and this will include a starter pack and a steak/veg roll at the end of the race, with a refreshment. There are some great prizes up for

grabs for first, second and third place, as well as some “hidden” prizes. Entries for the race will close on the 1 August, so if you would like more information please contact Kerry Brown at kerry.brown@tbwa.co.za. For more information on the sport of agility or to assist in anyway contact Murphy on canineactive@gmail.com. The amaz ing Border Collie China heads for medals. PHOTO: SUPPLIED

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.

We have weathered all the storms that came our way and have demonstrated that we can be a community to be proud of - from our disabled horse rider achieving his goals to a local woman beating breast cancer and becoming an inspiration to others - our community stands together proud! We are confident that 2015 will be better than ever. We, at The Hillcrest Fever, have faced our

The children need to be in a safe environment which is why we need to fix the doors and the windows quickly.” The organisation was registered in 2002 after seeing many orphaned and abused children in his church. “The organisation started off with just Sunday school members in 2002, but grew over the years after realising that most of our community live in poor conditions. We feed over 126 children and help more than 1 000 people, including children and adults. “Our focus is to feed the children because many go to sleep without supper. The children must come to our office after school so we can give them something to eat before helping them with their homework.

NHLANHLENI Isibani Sezwe, an organisation for orphans and vulnerable children, recently held a prayer session and an awareness campaign on drugs and HIV/Aids. Enhlanhleni founder, Pastor Alfred Ntshangase, said the campaign was well presented and informative. “During the campaign we had talks on drugs, abuse and more on HIV/Aids since most of the children we assist are infected or affected by HIV/Aids. We discovered that most children are on antiretroviral treatment and most of them don’t know what the treatment is for and why they taking it. “Many parents are too scared to tell their children about the disease, so as an organisation we saw the need to teach the children as well as give them hope by telling them that HIV/Aids is not a death sentence.” Ntshangase said the organisation currently doesn’t Every women deserves a have enough food to Pamper feed the children. “The organisation Get spoilt with a 40 min back is running out of & neck massage at food.

We also need at least three sewing machines to begin a sewing project and we need computers.

HIV at forefront of new initiative FEVER REPORTER BROTHERS for Life, in partnership with USAid and Pepfar, officially launched the Testa Boy Campaign, supported by the Department of Health (DoH) and the South African National Aids Council at the Interna tional Aids Conference last week. It joins a united effort to support UNAids targets to lower the spread of HIV by achieving 90% status awareness, 90% treatment for those diagnosed with HIV and 90% of people receiving antiretroviral thera py having viral suppression. The campaign launch, which was well received in KZN was attended by some of Mzansi stars who pledged allegiance to the campaign. This included Maps Maponyane, SABC1’s Uzalo lead act, Kay Sibiya, Gagasi FM Radio Jock, Mzokoloko Gumede and Mzans resident Doctor, Sivuyile Madik ana. “Today’s launch event was really important for me and I am glad I got the opportunity to contribute meaningfully towards changing the HIV/Aids in our country,” said campaign ambassador, Maponyane. “Very often my peers see HIV/Aids as an issue that does not affect them because it does not have a face, they think it happens to other people. I want to be a person and voice that helps them see that we are all affected, no matter what background we come from.” Brothers for Life unveiled its new television advert aimed at raising awareness about HIV and encourag ing men to get tested. “This is one of the ways we can combat the increas ing numbers of people living with HIV and I could not

In a recent study conducted by the Centre for Aids Research, Development and Evaluation it was found that men have significant barriers to HIV testing and accessing treatment. “This research has helped us understand and ad dress the fears that men have. The TVC takes the HIV test as its starting point, and follows a man visualising his fears of change and loss that a positive diagnoses will bring. We want to show that a positive status will not rob a man of his standing in his community or the love and respect of his family, and that HIV is manage able,” said Brenda Goldblatt, director of strategic com munications at the Centre for Communication Impact.

OPINION

True leadership RANJENI MUNUSAMY

E often moan about the lack of accountability in our society and the chronic failure of our leaders to take responsibility for their actions. Passing the buck and employing delaying tactics, including costly court actions, appear to be the default reactions of people in leadership positions when they are caught out being involved in wrongdoing.

One only has to look at the wild goose chase embarked on by the chief operating officer of the SABC, Hlaudi Motsoeneng, to stay in his job and continue stripping the public broadcaster of credibility. President Jacob Zuma had mastered the art of dodging accountability until he was dragged to the Constitutional Court and forced to admit that he was wrong not to implement the public protector’s report on Nkandla. He now has to pay back the money for undue benefits. We do not expect much when it comes to people facing up to their failures. It was therefore a shocking and moving experience to watch a media briefing by the Trek4Mandela team on their return from Mount Kilimanjaro after the tragic death of racing car driver Gugu Zulu. Zulu died after experi-

encing difficulty breathing while he and his wife Letshego were attempting to summit the mountain as part of a charity drive for the Nelson Mandela Foundation. The news of the death of the sports personality stunned the nation and left those who knew him in deep grief. When the Nelson Mandela Foundation announced that there would be a media briefing on the team’s return from Tanzania, it was expected that there would be tributes and expressions of condolence. What ensued, however, was unprecedented. The expedition leader, mountaineer Sibusiso Vilane, began with an emotional apology to the nation for not bringing the whole team back home. “It was on Wednesday last week when I stood up and said to your fathers, mothers, brothers and sisters who had come to bid you farewell. that

Margaret Hirsch “DO you make the tea?” When I first went into an executive position I was convinced and I was determined I was not going to go into a board meeting and make the tea or take the minutes. For ages I didn’t. I was very militant about it and the tea would arrive and I would studiously ignore it and wait for somebody else to make it. However, I would feel embarrassed about it because it just didn’t feel right. I knew I was doing it to make a point, but I felt uncomfortable and so did the

men in the room. So I made a decision that I would make the tea. When I got to a board meeting or any sort of meeting where I was always the only woman - and sometimes with between 10 and 15 men in the room, I would ensure that I organised the tea and coffee before the meeting started. What would happen is that the meeting would start and then there would be this huge disruption with the tea and coffee story. Luckily I sell coffee machines so I would often take a coffee machine in to demonstrate - then I would make coffee for everyone - and sell the machine to some. I found that by doing that, when it came to me asking them for something they felt they had to give it to me because I had given them their coffee after all, so it actually worked for me. When it came to taking the minutes, I was trained as a shorthand typist and I can type almost as fast as people can talk - so people relied on me to take the minutes. At first I was annoyed because I felt

I couldn’t contribute to the meeting. Then I worked out that I would plan what I had to say ahead of time and type it out so I would not have to type it into the minutes. I would take minutes while everyone was talking and I actually found that I remembered far more of what was going on. It gave me time to think and also I could refer to my notes and come up with good ideas at the end. “I always say to women who are in boardrooms, don’t act as if you are someone else. You are still a woman and it make sense to make the tea. My husband makes coffee for every person who comes to see him. They feel he is being humble and waiting on them, and he enjoys doing it. It gives him time to think and is a great ice-breaker. So don’t be the Devil Wears Prada character, be that fabulous person that everyone wants to be around. Offer to make the tea and coffee. Take the minutes. Send them off straight away. Go the extra mile, and see how well it works for you.

as the leader of the Trek4Mandela Caring4Girls Kilimanjaro expedition, my role is to make sure that I bring those you have come to say goodbye to back safely and alive. I am very disappointed to say I did not deliver on that promise,” Vilane said, breaking down in tears. Vilane and the team doctor Roxanne Schutte gave a run down of what had happened, describing Zulu’s condition at various stages of the trek until they decided that he should be brought down the mountain. The Nelson Mandela Foundation CEO Sello Hatang, who had flown to Tanzania after hearing of Zulu’s death, told how he had roped the couple into participating in the expedition. “Little did he know that that was his final destination. To South Africa, I would like to say I’m really sorry that I didn’t bring Gugu Zulu back alive. At this very low moment for our country, this low moment for the Nelson Mandela Foundation and for Madiba’s legacy, we will say this is yet another mountain that we have to summit again,” an emotional Hatang said.

Sports Minister Fikile Mbalula offered words of comfort, saying it had been a voluntary climb for a good cause and that nobody should feel blame. “Here before us, lies a story of goodwill that humanity and all races must follow. It is an inspirational story. It is tragic, but it will remain for us in history forever and forever.” Many people at the media briefing and watching the live broadcast were in tears as each member of the panel spoke. Zulu’s death at the prime of his life, leaving behind a wife and oneyear-old baby, is painful and tragic. But it was also deeply moving to see Hatang and the team members respecting the nation enough to account for what happened, even though they themselves were grief-stricken. Nobody had expected immediate and detailed answers but they felt it their responsibility to account to the nation. There could be no greater mark of true leadership. • Ranjeni Munusamy is a political journal ist and commentator for the Daily Maver ick. ranjeni.munusamy@gmail.com

Time to end slavery of outsourcing THE war against the archaic and exploitative outsourcing of workers at KwaZulu-Natal hospitals continues unabated and has claimed lives at King Edward VIII Hospital. This justifiable fight by workers against modern slavery has been continuing relatively unreported, presumably because the victims are half-human and “unskilled” or “semi-skilled” workers who, by such virtue, deserve to be exploited anyway. They are probably expected to be “disciplined” and submit to their exploitation because someone somewhere did them a great favour by giving them employment, While the destruction of property cannot be condoned, it is symptomatic of sheer desperation on the part of the exploited cleaners and security personnel.

It has taken students (who are supposed to be focusing on their books) at various tertiary institutions to confront head-on the exploitative scourge of outsourcing, with the result being that about 1 000 formerly outsourced workers have now been insourced at the University of Cape Town. Some unions are turning a blind eye to this scourge and may themselves have been captured. At hospitals and elsewhere, this may have the effect of making these institutions increasingly ungovernable and it therefore threatens the lives of patients and health workers alike. Is it not high time for the authorities to do away with outsourcing, instead of relying on and burdening law-enforcers with what is essentially a labour issue? JOSEPH B. GUMBI

Turks display maturity THE thousands of ordinary citizens who bravely opposed the coup and supported the democratically elected government in Turkey need to be commended for showing political maturity. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, due to his moral transformation and economic development of Turkey and his support for the Syrian refugees, has become a source of inspiration for many Muslims across the globe. Agreed, Erdogen has his faults like any human being and more so being a politician. Like other politicians, his decisions are not above criticism or disapproval, but there was no need for a military coup. Erdogan blames Fethullah Gulen, a Turkish cleric who lives in self-imposed exile in Pennsylvania, U.S., for orchestrating the attempted coup. Erdogan is demanding that the U.S. government

extradite Gulen. It will be interesting to see if the U.S. accedes to this request. So far, the U.S. is demanding evidence that meets the legal criteria for extradition. This scenario reminds me of Osama bin Laden and George W. Bush. After 9/11, Bush made a similar request to the Taliban. The Taliban refused to extradite Bin Laden without evidence resulting in the U.S. invasion and destruction of Afghanistan. American double standards and its fork tongued proclamations reduce its moral high ground to be the police of the world. To quote Noam Chomsky: “If the Nuremberg laws were applied, then every post-war American president would have been hanged.” MOHAMED SAEED

UE to the generosity of the Upper Highway community, Elma Akob, the 2015 deputy head girl of Hillcrest High School, was able to attend the Global Young Leaders Conference in New York recently. Elma thanked the Hillcrest Fever for publishing her story, which caught the attention of many, resulting in her getting sponsorship to attend the conference. “I thank all those who assisted in making this dream a reality, be it monetary, advice, prayers and publicity. All your efforts played a significant role in me achieving my dreams and I promised not to let you down, and remained true to that promise.” The conference was at the United Nations building where they held a model UN resolution global summit. “Prior to this event were three days of writing, editing and debating resolutions that we, as the youth, believed would aid the world and make it a better place for us and future generations in fields such as human rights, health,

technology, environment, development and more. “Out of 167 delegates representing over 25 nations I had the opportunity of leading the meeting in the UN building as the chair, which enabled me not only to control all meeting proceedings with no prior practice, but also to give a closing speech as well as hand over the passed resolutions to a member of the actual UN council.” Elma said the selection process for the position was long and intricate as with it came a lot of responsibility. “First we were nominated in groups of 23, which enabled seven to be nominated for the leadership team. Then we were interviewed individually, followed by group assimilation and further assessment, an essay and finally we were given A3 paper to do whatever we wanted to with it. After this we received envelopes with the decision from the organiser of GYLC. “As the first black female chair, I was, and still am, honoured. What made this moment even more memorable was when I received a standing ovation after my speech from the 166 delegates in the UN building, a moment I will treasure for the rest of my life.” Next on the cards for Elma is to be “president of the AU” and own her own brand, enterprise and company employing women with the aim of helping them, and in the process, children. "W4W - women for women,” she said.

Collins has authored three books. His first two were collections of short stories, some of which won writing competitions locally and abroad. This success gave him the confidence to allow his 40-year mystery to emerge as a book. In “Cullen” Collins tells the riveting story of a tragic climbing expedition which happened in the Himalayas in 1975 and its amazing consequences and mystery. Taking the reader from Lhotse -the fourth highest peak in the world, to the South Pacific and to England. Collins has written a book which narrates “…a very human true-life drama which weaves a story of adventure, love and tragedy, and the author toys with and marries these elements in his tantalising style.” South African editor and author, Vanessa Finaughty said,“The intrigue of the tale has received widespread acclaim and a fair amount of controversy amongst the climbing fraternity in England and Nepal.”

New vision for Waterfall College

Hillcrest High adventurers brave cold Rhys Dedlow (left) and Daniel Salomon from Hillcrest High on top of Thabana Ntlenyana peaks, holding their school flag tightly.

LMOST a year since the announcement of a new vision, Waterfall College is already seeing results, and is setting its sights on developing a fully integrated, independent, educational pathway from infant to teens (six months to 18 years), which will all be based on the iThemba Campus in Hillcrest. The 40-acre property already has a well-established high school and preprimary school. The preparatory school is now being constructed to bridge the gap between these two key pillars of a child’s school career. The three Waterfall College schools consist of Waterfall Pre-Primary School (infant to pre-school). Waterfall Preparatory School (Grade R to Grade 7) and Waterfall College Senior School (Grade 8 to Grade 12). While separate branding has been in place during the initial phases, all three schools will eventually operate under the single, central brand of Waterfall College. School uniforms are being aligned accordingly and the preparatory school will follow the Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement (Caps) curriculum and IEB assessment system, thereby building on the success of Waterfall College in academics. The directorate of the three schools has also been adjusted to provide the strategic leadership needed for the further growth and development of Waterfall College. The new campus vision boasts significant upgrades to the infrastructure. This includes major updates to the iThemba Campus roads, as well as the construction of academic, and extra-mural facilities - all of which, will be in line with world-class standards for independent schooling. The Waterfall College Governing Body chairman, Roger Wood, is looking forward to this new vision.

Waterfall College soccer team in action. “Waterfall College is delighted to be part of this exciting new journey we find ourselves on. Our vision has always been to develop a dynamic, wellstructured educational institution driven by a committed and motivated team of educators; an institution which enhances students' leadership skills, entrepreneurial skills, and post matric opportunities, and one which instils a sense of pride in its students. “The alignment of three phases of children's education into one brand on one campus brings enormous opportunities for both parents and students in the upper highway area. “For parents, it offers a quality option for private education in our community. For students, the campus allows for state of the art facilities giving the best of both worlds, an excellent education in a beautiful environment.” As the future unfolds for Waterfall College, the core foundation of its Christian ethos, values, and beliefs remain firmly in place. Satisfied parents

believe that the “small classes”, “caring approach”, “experienced teachers”, and “a willingness to discuss and consider other views”, are some of the reasons to invest in the school. Principal Jeanette van der Merwe says: “The interest in Waterfall College is definitely growing. This is based on the established schools that are thriving, as well as the keen interest in our new preparatory school, which will fill a crucial need in our educational offering. The future of Waterfall College as an educational centre of excellence in the Upper Highway area is unlimited as we implement the new vision on the iThemba Campus.” The open day for Waterfall Pre-Primary School and Grade 1 of the new preparatory school will give parents the opportunity to attend the presentation and to view the new preschool, infant facilities, classrooms and Astroturf playground. Open day is on Friday 29 July, at 8.30am at the iThemba Campus, 111 Ngwele Road, Hillcrest. - Supplied.

FOUR Hillcrest High adventurers, and David Gay (MIC Adventure Sports) spent a long weekend at Sani Pass staying three nights at the Sani Mountain Lodge Backpackers. They arrived in Lesotho via Phinong Pass, a hiking route just north of Sani Pass. On the second day, as part of their acclimatisation, they climbed both of Hodgson's peaks. These peaks form the Giant's Cup, a prominent feature of the escarp-

On the Saturday, they braved the sub-zero temperatures brought on by a strong wind, to climb Thabana Ntlenyana, the highest peak in southern Africa at 3 482 metres above sea level. On the final day they returned to the warmer weather of South Africa by walking down Sani Pass, clocking up a total distance of 50km. - Supplied.

SPORT Hillcrest cyclist aims for podium finish >> ‘Eston is a great race for me to test the legs one last time before I leave for the Olympics’

NDER 23 mountain biker Alan Hatherly has confirmed he will include the 60km Illovo Eston Marathon - the feature race of Sunday 7 August’s Illovo Eston MTB Challenge – in his final preparations for the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio. The Olympic debutant was recently named one of the two Team South Africa’s male mountain bikers to do battle at the South American showpiece next month and with few races between now and his departure on 13 August, the Kargo Pro Cycling Team rider is looking forward to the race training opportunity this year’s Illovo Eston Marathon presents. “There are just under five weeks between now and race day in Rio and there aren’t many races on the calendar that I can use to keep the sharpness

in the legs and stay race-ready, so the Eston is a great race for me to test the legs one last time before I leave and make sure everything is as it needs to be ahead of the Olympics,” said Hatherly. “The Eston’s 60km marathon course is a little longer than the cross-country distance we’ll be racing at the Olympics but with the King of the Mountain hot spot just a few kilometres in, the pace off the line at Eston is usually really fast and then it blows up and doesn’t ever seem to slow down from there. “Eston’s route also includes some great single track, which will give me a chance to stay on top of the technical side of things too, so it will be a good final hit-out.” The Illovo Eston MTB Challenge,

which includes the 40km aQuellé Half Marathon, 18km Stihl Tala Family Ride and 10km Omnia Kids Ride, is a familiar event for Hatherly, Eston’s however, the 20route also in year-old has surprisingly cludes some great sin failed to imgle track, which will give press at in the past. me a chance to stay on top “Hopefully this is my of the technical side of year at Esthings too, so it will be a ton.
