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.

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.

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.

>> Mars One candidate tells women to step out of their comfort zone
Mars One is a NPO foundation with the goal of establishing a permanent human settlement on Mars. To prepare for this settlement, the first unmanned mission is scheduled to leave in 2020. Crews will depart for their oneway journey to Mars starting in 2026. Subsequent crews will depart every 26 months after the initial crew has left for Mars. Mars One is a global initiative aiming to make this everyone’s mission, including yours. Join Mars One’s efforts to enable the next giant leap for mankind. — www.marsone.com

WAZULU-NATAL Mars One candidate Adriana Marais has proved that women’s bravery goes way beyond what the world has perceived it to be. The 32-year-old Durban woman was among three speakers on Friday, who encouraged women at the Pietermaritzburg Chamber of Business lunch that attracted hundreds of women from various spheres of business in the city. She talked on the theme “Broaden your horizons and conquer your fears to boldly go where no woman has gone before”, which paved the path for her to share details of her daunting deathor-glory Mars journey. “The only way to learn is to get ourselves out of our comfort zone. We need to go out to places no one has ever been before,” she said. Marais, who is eager to leave immediately for Mars, is a theoretical physicist in the field of quantum biology and has been selected as a candidate to possibly go and live on Mars. She said the journey would be expedient to her research she is doing at the University of KwaZulu-Natal on the origins of life. Prepared to give up life on Earth to obtain greater insight into the origins and meaning of life, she said she is more than happy to become one of the first Mars citizens. Marais is among 100 others across the globe provisionally selected to go Mars. The last selection will comprise of only 24 individuals. “I think the fact that we have identified quantum aspects of photosynthesis, one of the earliest living processes to have emerged on Earth, suggests that going down to these tiny scales may help us understand how life emerged in the first place,” she said. She added that what would be really helpful in the quest to understand the fundamental principles underlying the emergence of life would be to find just one other example of the phenomenon. “We have not yet discovered any other location where life exists and all organisms on Earth appear to have evolved from a common ancestor. “The point I want to make is that as far as we can tell, what we are doing here on Earth as living

Netcare cancer support FEVER group inaugurated

ETCARE St Anne’s Hospital, in association with Cansa, opened a new cancer support group to provide patients with a safe and empathetic environment for sharing experiences. “Coming to terms with a cancer diagnosis, and the fight against cancer, is a daunting prospect for anyone, whether it is from the perspective of the person who has cancer or their loved ones. “Social and emotional support is a vital aspect of dealing with the disease and developing coping strategies. Our message to those suffering from cancer is ‘no one fights alone’,” said Netcare St Anne’s Hospital general manager, Louis Joubert. The support group, which met for
the first time on Tuesday, 26 July, was led by an experienced social worker, who provided practical information and guidance on cancer, the various treatment options, minimising the side effects of treatments and other tips. The support group also facilitates discussion and shared insights on the emotional burden of the disease, both for the individual and their caregivers, and strategies for coping with this stress in order to maintain strength for healing. “The aim of this support group is to allow those who are further along their journey to share the insights that have helped them to keep strong in the face of this disease,” said Joubert.
LAW CORNER
He said the key outcome of the meetings is to help people overcome the emotional and mental hurdles presented by cancer in order to better focus on life and their loved ones, to be strong and fight against the disease. The cancer support groups will be held monthly at Netcare St Anne’s. Space is limited and those interested are requested to book their seat with head of marketing Shubnum Ismail at 082 360 2590 or 033 897 5013 or e-mail Shubnum.ismail@netcare. co.za Alternately, contact Cansa representative, Connie Zuma at 033 342 9837 or email nzuma@can sa.org.za The support group is free. - Supplied

Freedom of expression on social media BUKHOSI MBULALI SOUTH Africa is continuously advancing in the communication industry specifically through social media, which has proved to be the most effective and immediate manner to convey informa tion to the public. Social media is now arguably the primary instrument of exchanging ideas and opinions. Section 16 of our Constitution entrenches the right to freedom of expression. Our Constitution advocates a progressive attitude towards the rights of the individual. The question now is whether such a right is limitless? May an individual freely express his or her mind without giving due regard to the infringement of other’s rights? The answer is “no”. Section 36 of the Constitution
provides for what is known as the “limi tation clause” in terms of which one’s rights are limited where such a right would infringe upon the rights of others. In view of the above two Sections, it is vital for people commenting on social media to think carefully about what they post on social media as posts which infringe other’s rights to dignity and privacy may give rise to a delictual claim known as the actio iniuria injury to personality This legal remedy affords a person the right to sue for damages if they are able to prove on a balance of probabili ties that, as a result of another individu al’s social media comments, their repu tation or dignity has been damaged. In order to succeed with a claim, the aggrieved party must show that the defaulting person has (a) published defamatory matter; (b) that the matter is in fact
defamatory; and (c) that the comment refers to the aggrieved person which infringes on the persons personality right to a good name. In the recent case of Heroldt v Wills 2013 (2) SA 530 (GSJ) the court held that the test in determining whether a publication is defamatory or not is to ask the question as to whether a reasonable person of ordinary intelligence might reasonably understand the words concerned to convey a meaning that is defamatory to the litigant concerned. The court further held that in our law, suggesting that what has been pub lished is the truth is not sufficient as a defence or grounds to justify the publication, the post must be in the public benefit or public interest as well. Conclusion Our Constitution provides for basic human rights, which include the right to
express our opinion. However, we are not free to say what we feel like without respecting the rights of our fellow citizens. It is therefore vital to be mindful of the consequences of posting something which may infringe another’s rights. The following questions can assist a person in determining whether a post would violate another’s rights: • Whether a reasonable person of ordinary intelligence would reasonably understand the comment to convey a meaning that is defamatory. • Whether the personal interest of an individual outweighs the public benefit or interest to be informed about the facts. If the answer to both questions is positive, then one should refrain from continuing to post the comment on social media as it would give rise to a defamatory statement.

A
FTER being ranked the best debater in KwaZulu-Natal last month, Carter High pupil Adam Butler (17) got another linguistic feather in his cap this week. Adam was placed second in the regional De Beers English Olympiad, which won him free tuition for his first year at Rhodes University and R29 500 cash. He received his award at a prize giving during the National Schools’ Festival in Grahamstown last weekend. The English Olympiad is a regional competition that receives over 8 000 entries from across southern Africa. Drawing inspiration from people he meets every day, Adam said writing along the topic of “Darkness in man’s heart” allowed him to be creative.
Epworth Foundation comedic evening
FEVER “Whenever I write anything, I start with a character, so all of my writing stems really from small parts of people I meet - whether it’s the way they walk or a particular phrase they use.” Growing up he was always surrounded by books and became interested in forms of prose, especially drama, which led to his involvement in debating. Coming second in the Olympiad, Adam said the achievement merely validated his passion for writing and expressing himself. “It has also enabled me to continue in my exploration of language and expression by providing a scholarship to Rhodes University that will pay all my tuition fees for first year,” he said. Adam plans to register for a Bachelor of Arts degree majoring in politics and drama next year at university. He added he also plans on getting a postgraduate certificate in education qualification “so I can return to Carter and teach my own works”. “But I don’t want to get too ahead of myself as I am concentrating on my upcoming trial and final examinations and want to do well at the SA National Schools Debating Championships in December,” he said. Adam thanked his English teacher, Allen Mabasa Zimunya, for his guidance and support in the build-up to the Olympiad. “I also had the support of my best friend, Sne Dlamini, who attended the prize giving in Grahamstown with me last weekend,” he said.

Celebrating Women

What I want for Women’s Day LILI RADLOFF WOMEN’S Day used to really bug me. It bugged me that we got a day out of the year like some subculture or niche group, a nice little pat on the head to keep us sweet by pretending “women’s issues” matter. It bugged me that we were suddenly supposed to be grateful for a measly day, when everyone knows the disparity be How are tween the sexes when it comes to we supposed to earning power and the division of commemorate our wealth versus the division of labour is still ridiculously unfair. courage when rapists and It bugged me that many men abusers and killers of chil had the temerity to state they won’t support Women’s Day dren do not get convicted, because there’s not a Men’s Day even after we are coura when you know – if you have half geous enough to speak up a brain – that the whole year is “men’s day”. and follow the correct But what bugged me the most channels? was the cheesy, nonsensical platitude ridden PR spin on this whole thing. I swear, if I have to listen to one more “schpiel” about South Africa “celebrating women’s power” or “appreciating our beauty” or “enough”. Men must use their power to stop “commemorating our courage” I might this from happening. Men must start caring vomit. about the fact that their women are unsafe How are we appreciating our beauty in their streets and in their homes. when over 90% of us are unhappy about This is a male problem.

Defining WOMEN’S DAY PICTURE what it must have been like – over 20 000 women of all ages and races from all across South Africa marching together to the Union Buildings in Pretoria. Although each marcher must have thought about the risk of arrest, they bravely came together on 9 August, 1956 as a formidable force to protest against the pass laws that proposed further restrictions on the movements of women. This 9 August we celebrate the anniversary of this landmark women’s march. It is an ideal time to celebrate and reflect on the status of women today and the advances made since that historical day when South African women organised one of the largest and most successful protests in the country’s history. “The situation on the day was electrifying as everybody was looking forward to a serious confrontation,” marcher Amina Cachalia recalls.

“As a young person at the time, the march was a learning curve for a journey that finally came to the election of the new democratic government.” The Federation of South African Women (Fedsaw) organised the march, led by four women - Helen Joseph, Rahima Moosa, Sophy Williams and Lilian Ngoyi. The leaders delivered petitions to Prime Minister JG Strijdom’s office in the Union Buildings. Women throughout the country had put their names on these petitions indicating their anger and frustration at having their freedom of movement restricted by the hated official passes. Many women wore traditional clothing while others displayed the green, black and gold of the African National Congress. Some women marched with babies on their backs, or were accompanied by young children. Rahaba Mahlakedi Moeketsi recalled: “Some were carrying the

white children with them, those who were working for white people. “We were enthusiastic to get there and see this Boer baas and tell him we are not going to carry those things [passes].” The women’s march was a spectacular success. We need to applaud and recognise the bravery of these women who risked official reprisals including arrest, detention and even banning. The march showed that the commonly accepted stereotype of women as politically inept and immature, tied to the home, was outdated and inaccurate. Women proved they were not powerless to make significant changes to a way of life that discriminated against them primarily because of their race, but also because of their class and their gender. They had the ability to organise themselves and be a political force to be reckoned with. - Women24.

Myburgh Hendrickse goes green for this year’s race.
L
EBOGANG Phalula (Boxer) flew through the finish line in Sunday morning’s Maritzburg SPAR Women’s 10/5km in a respectable time of 34:41 - slicing off one minute 29 seconds off last year’s winning time. The athlete said after her run: “I managed to break away from the seeded runners in the first kilometre of the race, and I was pretty much alone from there on. I asked my friend Cornelia [Joubert] to stick with me for this race but she was unable to. “This was my first Maritzburg race, and I was not expecting so many hills, which were pretty tough, but I did
enjoy it, especially from the eight-kilometre mark where it was pretty much a downhill stride for me - it felt like I was floating.” There is much excitement in the Phalula household as her sister, Lebo, will be representing South Africa at the Rio Olympics in the marathon this coming Sunday. For Lebogang, her next focus is on the Totalsports 10 km Race taking place in Johannesburg on Women’s Day. Finishing 75 seconds behind Phalulua, Jenet Dlamini (Umzimkhulu) crossed the line in a time of 35:56, followed by Joubert (Boxer) 45 seconds later in 36:41. Dlamini from Umzimkhulu said that overall she was happy with her race, “It was a tough run for me having
run the Hammarsdale 10km race last week, so my legs were a bit tired.” It was also Joubert’s first experience at the Maritzburg SPAR Women’s race, and although she was unfamiliar with the route, she was aiming for a top five position. “I was pleased with my result and my time even after having rested quite a bit this week as I had pushed myself in the 21,1 km SA Champs in PE, where I finished 10th last weekend.” There was a record number of entries this year, with 4 039 competing in ideal running conditions. The KZN capital was slightly overcast with a bit of a nip in the air. The youngest runner was nine years old and the oldest was 73-year-old Beryl Trussler, who finished in a time of 53:29.

Alexandra High athlete Thembekile Mthimunye (17) took the honours in the five-kilometre race, breezing through in a time of 25:47. “Well done to everyone who came out to brave the slight chill in the air. It was particularly festive this year,
perhaps young and old alike have been inspired by the spirit of the Olympic Games in Rio.” said MD for SPAR KZN, Rob Philipson. The official race charity, Choc, will receive an R8 000 donation from the race entries. - Supplied
