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.

Giba Gorge stabbing one dead, one critically injured N Sunday morning Netcare 911 paramedics responded to a call as two men were injured in Giba Gorge, in the Upper Highway area. Netcare 911 paramedics and the Police Search and Rescue unit arrived at the scene and had to hike down a steep slope for about 500 metres before they got to the first man. After the patient was examined they found that he had sustained a penetrating wound and he tragically died before paramedics arrival. After the team hiked a further 500

Headon at hospital traffic lights TWO vehicles collided along the M1 (Marian Hill Road) at the St Marys Hos pital traffic lights on Thursday morning. Netcare 911 paramedics were at the scene and found a female still trapped in the twisted frame of her vehicle with serious injuries. The driver of the other vehicle escaped uninjured.

KALISHA NAICKER Kalisha.Naicker@media24.com IN true Upper Highway spirit, volunteers braved the cold to support Miss Earth South Africa finalist Mireesha Narsai in her clean up of the Kloof railway tracks over the weekend. Watercrest Mall co-hosted the event, sponsoring refreshments and goodie bags, which also included Trocomare herbal salt from SA Natural Products. The Keep Kloof Beautiful as-

sociation was also in attendance. Lucky draw prizes of a R300 voucher from The Morning Trade Market and a five-class pack from Tree Natural Yoga Studio were awarded to two volunteers. Ten bags of trash were collected, including many glass bottles and plastic packaging. The clean-up was Narsai's part of the #WasteStopsWith ME campaign that the Miss Earth South Africa programme has chosen as its theme for 2016.

Miss Earth South Africa is a leadership programme which empowers women to make a sustainable difference. She has been involved in tree plantings, vegetable garden plantings, recycling campaigns, clean ups and food collections during her journey as a Miss Earth finalist. The gala event takes place on 8 September at the Palazzo Hotel at Montecasino, where a winner will be chosen.

THE much anticipated lock up of Guy Stone, local business owner of Stokers Arms in Kloof, was held on Friday, 29 July. Stone was “locked up” on the railway line at Stokers Arms in a “cage” in an effort to help raise much needed funds for the Kloof and Highway SPCA. He was joined by two four- legged jail mates - Tyson the Toy Pom and Ruby the Basset Hound. An incredible R21 600 in bail money was raised by the communi-

ty for Guy Stone’s lock-up and all funds raised will go towards the Kloof and Highway SPCA who receive no government funding and rely solely on the generosity of its community to enable them to continue work in animal welfare. SPCA offered a special thank-you to Guy Stone for taking on this challenge and braving the elements in an effort to help raise much needed funds for the Kloof and Highway SPCA and a heartfelt thanks to each and every person who donated.

HIS was meant to be a quiet week after the drama of the local government elections and with the last of the municipal councils taking shape. It was a time for South Africa to take a breather and have the opportunity to reflect on the massive political shift unfolding in the country. Alas, it was not to be. The week started off with high drama at the first sitting of the Johannesburg City Council, marred by allegations that an ANC councillor had tried to bribe members of the Economic Freedom Fighters to vote in favour of his party’s speaker and mayoral candidates. The sitting dragged on into the night, with the eventual election of Johannesburg’s first Democratic Alli-

ance mayor Herman Mashaba. The ANC’s fall from grace was exacerbated by the death of one of its councillors in the hall, causing shock and grief, and throwing a pall over the sitting. Then on Tuesday, the country reeled as news broke that Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan and former South African Revenue Service officials Ivan Pillay and Johann van Loggerenberg had been ordered to present themselves to the Hawks on Thursday for warning statements, which are usually precursors to charges being laid. The value of the rand plummeted dramatically as the markets took fright about the prospect of another attempt to hijack the national Treasury, as had happened in December when Nhlanhla Nene was fired. With Gordhan facing the prospect of arrest on trumped-up charges, South Africa is again being placed in peril with more long-term damage to the economy. The stinging message delivered by voters to the ANC on 3 August was seemingly not effective enough to stop reckless behaviour and the abuse of state institutions for political ends. To his credit, Gordhan has refused to be bullied into submitting himself

I RESPOND to Romanius Zulu (“Getting the facts right”, August 24) The letter depicts dislike for Indians. Yes, I do agree with you that there are hardworking, dedicated individuals in all communities, and not only in the Indian community. Why continue to dwell on the past, rather than concentrate on building a positive future? Is this what you teach your children? To dislike Indians because you feel they were privileged during apartheid? All this energy you waste on highlighting how disadvantaged you were, can be spent on developing your children. Love conquers all. CONNZ MOODLEY

to a process based on illogical allegations with no basis in law. The problem with him “presenting himself” to the Hawks is that they would have given him a warning statement and left him dangling for months as they try to stitch up a case against him. The status of a “suspect” would have been undesirable for a finance minister, and it is probable that President Jacob Zuma might then have taken a decision to remove Gordhan from Cabinet. Unless you are extremely naïve, this process would not be just an unfortunate turn of events but a carefully hatched plan to grab control of the Treasury. Gordhan’s decision not to present himself to the Hawks puts the onus on the police unit to come up with proper charges to pursue a prosecution against him. Zuma responded to the widespread alarm and anger over the Hawks’ harassment of Gordhan on Thursday, saying he did not have the powers to stop investigations against anyone. “The negative effect of these matters on our economy, personal pressure on the individuals affected as well as the heads of institutions, however disturbing, cannot be cause for

the president to intervene unconstitutionally,” the presidency said in a statement. Zuma also expressed his “full support and confidence” in Gordhan. Unfortunately for the president, he no longer enjoys the trust and confidence of the people he leads. Many people distrust Zuma’s motives and do not believe that he acts in the interests of the country. The message delivered by ANC veteran Sipho Piyana at the funeral of former minister Makhenkesi Stofile this week that Zuma was “no longer honourable” and had “humiliated our organisation” has had widespread resonance. Pityana was bold enough to voice the concerns and betrayal that many ANC members were feeling, but were forced to suppress. The events of this week show that the period of calm and stability that many of us desire is a long way off. We are now in the eye of the storm with major political battles about to be fought for control of the ANC and the country.

Cullinan’s views on transformation are racist and highly ignorant IN MY OPINION WITH LUNGA BIYELA IF you have the time this week, go over to the cricinfo website and watch Daryll Culli nan being interviewed and giving his views on transformation, Makhaya Ntini, Hansie Cronjé, and how cricket isn’t a sport for black people. It’s hilarious, ignorant, and will leave be

wildered as to how a fully grown human with a fully functioning brain — hopefully — can hold such backward, archaic views. Cullinan used to be one of my favourite cricketers back in the day. Watching him at the crease, when Shane Warne was not bowling, was one of my favourite things to do as a youngster. It was like witnessing po etry. While playing cricket in the garden, I

would try and do everything he did, and at the age of 12, I truly believed that I would one day go on to play for South Africa. Un fortunately, I wasn’t that good, so that was that. Perhaps it was all those tapes of him attempting to play Shane Warne that I watched that did me in. Cullinan’s views on transformation late ly seem to suggest he doesn’t want black cricketers in the South African national team. When exTest captain Hashim Amla gave the view that black cricketers in South Africa were doubted, Cullinan dismissed Amla’s own views, talking from experience, and said they were “blinkered”. It was very disappointing reading what Cullinan had said, given that I regarded him as a general allround good bloke. Then, this weekend, Cullinan did an in

terview that featured on cricinfo where he aired some views Hendrik Verwoerd and DF Malan would be proud of, claiming that “cricket isn’t inherently the black man’s game” and how young black cricketers will always struggle because “catching a taxi for R30 to cricket practice is unfair to ask of black mothers who are most likely single and are domestic workers”. I kid you not, Cullinan said that. The interview should still be up on cricinfo. Go check it out. I’m quite disappointed that Cullinan holds these views, especially seeing as though he’s from the Eastern Cape and went to Queens College, where black peo ple have been playing cricket since the 19th century. By saying “cricket isn’t inherently the black man’s game” displays a lack of under standing on a lot of things. It sug gests that he thinks certain sports in South Africa belong to certain ra ces, and that he is against a more representative team where inclusiv ity is the name of the game. In the interview, Mr Cullinan also says he didn’t feel that Makhaya Ntini should have been given a chance at the time that he was. Ntini clearly had the talent, he states, but he felt that Test cricket MANDLA DLAMINI was not a finishing school, and that Cell: 083 514 0607 / 084 480 9534 only those who were finished article deserved to make the step up.

man’s game” makes you look like a dinosaur that’s out of place and time. Black people have played cricket for years. Basil D’Oliveira wasn’t allowed to play for South Africa despite his obvious tal ent. The likes of Eric and Khaya Majola — not the Sharks flanker — excelled in the sport back in the day, and because of the law of the land at the time, could not take it up further. Currently, there are black cricketers throughout the country, playing for some of the best schools, and excelling and going on to provincial and franchise level. Cricket is not inherently the black man’s game? Da ryll Cullinan needs to check his brain before opening his mouth. The game of cricket is everyone’s game. If a kid decides to pick up a cricket bat, then the game belongs to him, regardless of his race. And, there are thousands of black crick eters in South Africa, Mr Cullinan. We’re no longer living in the 1980s and ’70s when people got away with saying rac ist and stupid things. Cullinan said Amla’s opinion was blinkered. But, I beg to differ on that point. It’s Cullinan’s opinion that is blinkered. It’s blinkered by an ignorance of South African history, and the history of the game in this country. The next time Cullinan decides to give his views on transformation, I suggest he does a little reading and educates himself on why it is needed in South Africa. I suggest he also pick up a history book and learn about players such as Krom Hendricks, D’Ol iveira, and the legacy left behind by the Ma jola family. Surely with so much reading material available in libraries and on the Internet, it should not be possible that someone so privileged as Cullinan can be so ignorant. He should do us all a favour and keep his mouth shut, and let those who are knowledgeable on the issue give their opinion. Perhaps he should just stick to rambling on his Facebook status, where he will block you should you dare challenge him. Al though, I doubt he’d be able to block anyone with “Warne” — thanks Garric — in their name.

GROUP of young men are striving to bring the youth together and change their lives for the better through the development of arts in rural KwaNyuswa. Sibusiso “Survivor” Nzama, Zama “Feleba SK” Zuma, Sibongiseni “Syto” Luthuli and Sibonelo “Mageja” Ngcobo formed Rieco Bird Media with the purpose of uplifting upcoming musicians, while at the same time, searching for talent in the area. “Currently we have seven musicians on our roster - Solution, Kimby, Lah, Feleba SK, Cyto, Mageja and NXL. People can expect projects from us from October,” said Rieco Bird Media spokesperson, Nzama. “For the past two years we’ve been on a talent search in the area and were

amazed by the results. We promote artists through marketing, social media, events, radio, campaigns and community projects because our company is also involved in many community development projects.” Rieco Bird Media has united the community by combining artists in various categories through community awareness campaigns. “We have driven campaigns that have brought positivity to the community, for example the June 16 event brought 950 young people together to talk about problems, such as drugs, teenage pregnancy, unemployment and poverty that affect the community. “Our wish is to see the youth following the right path and living a successful and crime-free life. We also aim to uplift local talent by involving artists in community development projects. “Overall the road we are on will suc-

ceed in generating and contributing for the social, cultural and economic benefit for the community and local businesses. “Our vision is to transform lives of artists through unforgettable experiences and turn art into a way of living. We aim to empower, educate and create opportunities for the many young people and create job opportunities. “We are anticipating a significant legacy of skills development and new links between local artist and groups.” For more information, or for any one wanting to perform at the event they must contact Nzama on 073 911 9912 or Zuma on 063 398 9769 or email riecobirdon line@gmail.com

Musical spring evening invite

Communities cautioned to be safe UPPER Highway residents are being urged to rethink their banking procedures after an increasing number of people are being robbed of cash immediately after withdrawing it. Victims have been targeted outside banks – immediately after withdrawing the money, as well as followed from the banks or ATMS and accosted at their homes or business premises. In some cases the robbers, who are armed and operating in groups of two to four, already know where their victims live or work. Enforce security’s community project manager Nikki Möhlmann says cases have occurred throughout the Greater Durban area and that stolen cash amounts have varied upwards of R10 000. She says the most recent case where a man was accosted in the parking lot of a Brickfield Road business this week was not only “horrific” and “extremely sad”, but indicative of just how brazen the criminals are. “We have seen this happening more and more over the past few weeks, and the robbers appear to have incredible intel. In one instance a banking customer was followed home from the bank, but the camera footage shows that the robbers only left the vicinity of the bank about a minute after he had driven off. So they knew exactly where he

was going without even having to follow him. “What is also scary is that they are all armed and very nervous, a combination which often leads to situations in which people are shot and wounded, or even killed.” Möhlmann therefore advises people to be extremely vigilant when withdrawing money and to try as much as possible to not draw large amounts. She also implores business owners to pay staff wages via electronic methods, and not with cash, and this then eliminates the need for them to withdraw those large amounts in the first place. “People need to also be extremely wary when driving from banks and ATMs. They need to be aware of who is driving behind them, and if they think they are being followed, to rather drive to the nearest police station instead of stopping at home or work.” Enforce Security’s tips to avoid being a victim of cash robberies: • Avoid withdrawing large amounts of cash, either from the ATM or from within banks • Do not use ATMS in secluded areas or when it is dark • Opt to pay accounts electronically via internet or telephone banking. This eliminates the need to carry large amounts of cash • If you do need to withdraw or deposit large amounts of cash, and

are doing so on a regular basis, alternate the days and times you do so, and if possible, even the bank branches you use • Never tell people the day and time you will be depositing or withdrawing your money • If depositing money, avoid carrying money bags or briefcases, and do not display your deposit receipt book. These items are dead giveaways that you are in possession of large amounts of cash, and alert criminals will not miss these signs • If, as a businessman, you find yourself depositing increasingly large amounts, rather use the services of cash management companies. You will have to pay for their services but you eliminate the risks of being robbed – and potentially wounded or killed • Always be aware of people around you and be alert when walking back to your vehicle or driving from the bank • When withdrawing money from within the bank, avoid loudly stating the amount you wish to draw. Often criminals have spotters inside banking halls, posing as customers. They look out for people who are withdrawing large amounts and then alert their accomplices who are waiting outside. You can also opt to write down the amount that you wish to draw, and show it to the cashier. - Supplied

THINK SEAFOOD, THIN

LEADERS IN SEA

In 2012 a Cape Town start-up investment company was approached to start a premium seafood retail business in Durban. Taking their time to understand the proposal and researching the local and international offerings it was decided to venture into the business with the vision of changing the perception and customer experience of seafood retail in South Africa.

Photios Loupis (Director) and Ramu Narainsamy (CEO)

From the beginning the strategy was to create a chain of premium seafood retail stores. In December 2012 the first "proof of concept" store was opened, alongside a cold storage and wholesale facility in Springfield Park, which was to support multiple stores. Being in an industrial area with no supporting retail traffic made attracting customers to the store a challenge. Particular emphasis had to be placed on each of the core values to communicate the right message to attract and retain customers to the "proof of concept" store.

Winner of R1000 voucher Herbert Balzer - Absolutely thrilled! Thank you Seafood Hyper

These core values - quality, cleanliness, variety and customer satisfaction - have remained at the centre of all that Seafood Hyper does. It is the delivery and continual improvement of services and products, which encompass the values that has Seafood Hyper customers praising and supporting the retail offering. The early years were fraught with many challenges, which delayed the initial strategy. Despite the challenges the holding company continued to support the business that continued to grow year on year to which customers remain complimentary and loyal.

Bhavna and Avishkar Heeramun thrilled with their lucky win

Approximately two years ago the holding company appointed a new CEO, who was given a monumental mandate to overcome the various challenges and get the business strategy back on track. With the support of the holding company he has successfully succeeded with his mandate and the second store has been opened in Hillcrest. Seafood Hyper will continue with its strategy while developing personnel and systems to ensure that new stores continue to provide the service, product quality and variety that Seafood Hyper customers have become accustomed to. Even the kids had a blast

BABY BOREDOM BUSTERS Games stimulate development, teach children how to focus, and help to calm and soothe a fussy child. When your day is overfull and your imagination has all but run dry, consult this list for simple but effective ideas. 3–6 months · Roll Baby from side to side along the length of the bed. · Play peek-a-boo. · Pull your baby up into a sitting position and let her fall back onto a soft cushion. Most babies enjoy being pulled up, and the surprise of falling back will delight her. · Long walks will soothe unsettled babies and waken their curiosity.

6–9 months · Dance to all those holiday jingles with your baby. · Most babies love being tickled, and will laugh from the depths of their bellies. · Run a feather up and down her arms and legs, and on her tummy. If Baby doesn’t like this sensation, it may be a sign that she will profit from firmer body massage. · Roll a soft, light beach ball to each other. · Make rattles with covered toilet rolls and a variety of bells, grains, seeds and beans as fillings. 9–12 months · Convert Christmas boxes into tunnels, and make an obstacle course for your crawler, encouraging her to crawl through the box tunnels, over chairs and under tables. · Hold Baby securely and “fly” her around the room or garden, twirling around, and going up and down. · Invest in a play telephone and have animated conversations on this telephone with your baby. · A saucepan and a wooden spoon are a sure recipe for a half hour of engrossing, if noisy, fun! · Stacking toys are firm favourites and encourage dexterity. · Wooden and fabric books with animal pictures provide tactile stimulation of the most valuable kind. · A magnet and a bunch of keys provide endless amusement. · Toys that challenge Baby to match shapes are great for this age. · Tell stories with hand and finger puppets. · Give your little one a few scarves, underpants and T-shirts and place her in front of the mirror. 12–18 months · Hide behind curtains or around doorways and call to your little one. She’ll be so excited when she finds you. · Fill a tub with suds and plastic dishes, a brush and cloth, and let Baby splash around. Don’t let her out of sight though, as any water source can still be a drowning hazard. · Put sunscreen on your baby, avoid midday sun and don’t forget the hat, and your baby will enjoy hours of unadulterated enjoyment in the baby pool. Add a few buckets and plastic containers and her face will say it all! Never leave her alone. · While you water the garden, allow your little one to bake a few mud pies.

IMAGINE a world of heightened smell, taste, sound and texture, but no sight, that is what every day is like if you are blind. The KZN Blind and Deaf Society invites you to share this experience for just one evening. Guests will enjoy a sumptuous meal and a programme filled with music, entertainment and an unforgettable auditory experience. “Dinner in the Dark” will be held at the Great Ilanga, Elangeni Hotel on 10 September. It promises to be a grand affair bringing together various corporates who want to experience something a little different. The format of the evening is a dinner and dance where guests will have the opportunity to enjoy part of their dinner in darkness, allowing them to use their remaining senses heightened by the absence of sight. This situation, exceptional for the sighted, will encourage the guests to empathise with blindness and understand how difficult simple tasks like eating, cutting or simply conversing can be. The event, conceptualised also to raise funds for the many projects administered and managed by the KZN Blind and Deaf Society, will lead up to Blind Awareness Month in October, which aims to promote tolerance and acceptance for people with disabilities.

On 30 June 2016, Inspector Petra Abrams and Field Officer Pamela Zondi found a male Staffie cross wandering in a street in Reservoir Hills after attending to another cruelty complaint in the area. The dog was covered in old bite wounds from head to toe with untreated wounds to its face and neck with visible swelling due to infection. The underweight dog was utterly petrified - cowering and flinching at the smallest movements close to him. He was rushed off to the Kloof & Highway SPCA Clinic, where he was immediately treated and all his wounds cleaned.
