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.

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.

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
continues to destroy some of our communities. However, the one thing that continues to stand undefeated is the spirit of the Upper Highway community. Through the difficult times, our readers have once again proven that we are, without a doubt, among the most resilient and strong-willed. 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
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

P
UPILS from various schools across Pietermaritzburg and surrounds filled the city hall last week during the launch of the Anti-Drug Smart Club programme. Over 80 schools were invited by programme leaders to participate in the initiative which will mirror the Durban programme, founded by Sam Pillay, that has been running for over 10 years. Speaking to Maritzburg Fever, Shireen Anthony, programme co-ordinator, said the initiative has been launched in the city in order to address the various social ills that are affecting the youth. “We’ve taken the initiative to start the smart club programmes in Pietermaritzburg and have visited 80 schools where we presented our idea. “The event [on 10 May] trained the five pupils that each school represents in order for them to go back and roll out the clubs in their schools. The clubs will be facilitated by the Msunduzi Municipality social work department staff who will visit the schools to encourage them and check on their progress,’’ she said. The smart club programme will mirror the Durban anti-drug programme founded by Pillay. “We needed to start working with pupils in their own environment and have a more longterm focus as many of them don’t understand the consequences of addiction,” he said. The smart clubs address social ills that pupils face. “These issues need to be addressed from a young age because drugs are so prevalent in schools and are targeting younger children,” said Pillay. Pillay said it is important for children to
understand what to do when they are faced with being offered drugs and they need to know how to handle the situation. “There was no programme in place for them to go to when they needed advice and this is what the smart clubs now offer them,” he said. Teachers were also present at the launch last week and were excited to find out more about the programmes. “We are here to learn and take it back to our schools in order to motivate other children to get involved in this programme,” said Nevidika Ramchandar from Woodlands Secondary. Nonhlanhla Zondi from Imbubu Primary said they are in desperate need of intervention as the drug
problem involving children is of great concern. “There is so much exposure to drugs, which leads to children dropping out of school. I hope that if children see what drugs do, and they know there is help for them, that they will stop taking drugs and focus on school,” she said.

Drought crisis addressed
>> Restrictors on water meters are still being installed NICOLE JOHN >>nicole@pmbfever.co.za
“N
ATURE has decided to reduce our water supply and we need to take responsibility and begin to save [water],” said Msunduzi Mayor Chris Ndlela at a recent executive committee meeting when councillors were discussing its drought communication plan. He said the situation will become worse in the months to come because there is no rain and residents need to exercise caution when using water and do their best to save as much water as they can. “This is not political. The reality is that we are running out of water, the source is running dry and the situation will worsen. We all need to act responsibly,” Ndlela added. Acting municipal manager, Boniwe Zulu said restrictors on water meters are still being installed. “Restrictors will assist the community to reduce their water
use. Our communication will be ongoing in order to create awareness about saving water among the public,” she said. Councillor Judith Lawrence said the council should be leading by example and the executive committee should have restrictors installed on their premises first. She added she has personally not had water in her ward for the past four weekends while some areas in the municipality have been without water for weeks. She challenged the success of the drought communication plan that was rolled out by the municipality asking if a measure of the success of the plan can be made. “Has our plan to communicate the messages of water- saving been successful or is the reduction in some areas simply because there is nothing to use,” she asked. Ndlela said it is up to the community and councillors to report water issues so they can be addressed and that all residents have access to water. “The buck stops with us,” he said.

SUSPECTED GANG LEADER CAUGHT ONE of the province’s most wanted criminals, who has been linked to a string of violent crimes, was nabbed in a joint police operation last Tuesday night. The 36-year-old man was taken into custody along with his 28-yearold girlfriend during an operation by the Hawks, Crime Intelligence, Task Force and Durban K9 unit. It is believed the man is linked to the murder of a police officer in Gingindlovu, as well as cash-in-transit heists and attempted murder cases across the province. The man may also be the leader of a gang involved in a robbery in Mountain Rise last year, in which a local security boss narrowly escaped death. Described by police as “the most wanted and dangerous suspect”, the man was found in possession of three AK47 rifles, two pistols and more than 350 rounds of ammunition at his KwaMashu home.

ANTIDRUG CAMPAIGN HELD UMGUNGUNDLOVU South clus ter commander Major General Lucas Ngobeni addressed a crowd of pu pils from various primary and high schools in the uMgungundlovu dis trict during an antidrug rally in Edendale yesterday. In a combined fight against the drugs, police and local government departments teamed up yesterday

SAFETY AT UKZN A CONCERN THE assault and suspected attempted hijacking of a student within University of Kwa¬Zulu-Natal property has brought safety concerns at the Pietermaritzburg campus to the fore. A 22-year-old final-year student was assaulted, along with a friend, in what she believes was an attempted hijacking in a parking lot at the main campus last Wednesday at about 11pm. The incident has prompted students to raise their concerns over campus security, with members of the Student Representative Council also saying there are many issues they have taken up with management. University spokesperson Lesiba Seshoka said management has received a statement from the student and will be conducting an investigation into the allegations contained therein. “Risk management services are awaiting a statement from the second occupant of the car as well as the security officers stationed at the access point,” Seshoka said.

The exact cause of the incident is unknown.

EDICLINIC believes that the role of nurses does not stop when they leave work - rather they continue to show the same care and attention to their families and those in their communities as they do during working hours. In appreciation of the invaluable role our nurses play, Mediclinic Pietermaritzburg is proud to recognise Enrolled Nurse Merzelle Meintjies, as the annual Nursing Excellence Award recipient. We highlight the role of our nurses on International Nurses’ Day, a day chosen as a global tribute to the profession that coincides with Florence Nightingale’s birthday. Mediclinic recognises the nurses who work tirelessly, care selflessly and exhibit the same dedication to patients, which they do for their own
‘Nursing excellence’ awardee acknowledged families. “Mediclinic’s Nursing Excellence Award holds special significance because nominations are made by nursing peers for those who embody these values and ensure the best possible patient experience. “While not everyone can receive an award, I would like to extend my personal thanks to each nurse for making Mediclinic the world-class hospital it is. The amount that our nurses do and how they do it makes all the difference to their colleagues and At the awards patients,” said (from left) Lynette Louw Estelle Cous(nursing manager), Merzelle tas, MedicliMeintjies (award recipient) and nic Southern Henk Laskey (hospital manager).

SA’s top dogs to compete in agility and jumping championship at Royal Show A WIDE range of dog breeds and their handlers will be competing over two days at the Royal Show this year, in a quest to be named 2016 Wuma KZN Agility and Dog Jumping champions. Spectators can expect to see the everpopular Border Collies showing off their skills, as well as Australian Shepherds, Poodles, German Shepherds, Schnauzers, Shelties, Kelpies, Chinese Crested and Havanese dogs. A number of dogs that have qualified for the national South African Agility Championships will also be a part of this KwaZulu-Natal championship. The agility competition is designed to demonstrate a dog’s willingness to work with its handler, as well as show its nimble nature and versatility over a challenging course of obstacles. It is an athletic event for both handler and dog that requires conditioning, concentration, training and most importantly, teamwork. The handler’s influence is limited to voice, movements and body language, while the dog runs off-leash without any food or toys as motivation. Handlers and dogs at the Royal Show

China, a red Border Collie, is one of the top agility dogs in KwaZuluNatal. this year will be competing for top honours in all three disciplines contact agility, non-contact agility and dog jumping — and each discipline caters for three different sizes of dogs. The courses are complicated and it is not possible for the dog to complete them
without human guidance. This year’s provincial agility and dog jumping championships at the Royal Show are on Friday, June 3 and Saturday June 4. - Supplied.

Royal invite to plunge through the air HAVE you ever wondered what it would feel like to be a stunt person plunging from a four-storey building? Have you ever looked down from a height and felt the thrill of vertigo, and that pulling sensation enticing you to jump? Well now you need wonder no more. You can take that step into the void and experience the sensation of falling through the air unfettered, when you go to the Royal Show this year. A new and exciting attraction awaits visitors at Pietermaritzburg’s
biggest annual event - the free-fall bag jump. Open to the public throughout the show, the free-fall bag jump allows you to jump from a platform onto a giant inflated cushion. It’s like bungee jumping, but without the bungee cord holding you back. Darryl Burmeister of SevensevenSports, the organiser of the jump, explained that the three-metre deep cushion contains 11 air channels and three air chambers, as well as a safety bladder, and says the landing it offers jumpers is “very forgiving” - much
softer than landing in water. Even though jumpers will reach almost 60km/h when jumping from 14 metres up, Burmeister said that there has never been any injuries in the more than 300 000 jumps they’ve supervised since 2013. “We have a 100% safety record,” said Burmeister, a fact that he attributes to the structural design of the jump and the safe working methods he employs. “We are owner run and managed, and I am a qualified safety manager with a 17-year background in freestyle
motocross and stunts.” Burmeister said he had been head judge at Freestyle Motocross South Africa and had run stunts and FMX events since 2009. He has also run major national expos and festival stunts and freestyle shows in every province. He confirmed that while there have never been any injuries, there are always medics on standby during jumps and jumpers are given instructions on how best to jump and land. “Due to the soft inflation of the air
bag, all landings are very forgiving,” said Burmeister. “We have had children as young as four do the jump and recently an 82year-old man enjoyed the experience.” Additionally, the jumping platform is housed on a scissor lift, enabling jumpers to choose the height from which they are most comfortable jumping.

Health & Beauty Eat for longevity, energy and beauty FEVER
T
HERE’S been so much conflicting diet advice recently that it is no wonder people are confused about what to eat. But whether you are fasting or banting or detoxing or eating for energy, two hard truths remain: • Processed foods are bad for you, so choose whole foods close to its natural state. • We eat way too much sugar so remember to keep fruit portions reasonable as fruit contains lots of sugar. Luckily we have access to a host of healthy, nutritious food, available at most supermarkets, you just have to make the choice to start including them in your diet. Foods you should buy and try to include in your diet …
Kale Everyone is talking about kale, and these days it is readily available in South Africa. This leafy green vegetable is a member of the cabbage family and related to other cruciferous stars like broccoli, cauliflower and brussels sprouts. It’s loaded with vitamins and minerals and powerful antioxidants while being very low in kilojoules.
Watercress This peppery leaf is perennial, but sometimes difficult to find in shops. If you have access to enough water (keep in mind we’re in the middle of a drought) you should strongly consider growing it. Since it is so high in
vitamins (especially C and K) and minerals (copper, calcium, potassium, magnesium) and antioxidants while being super low in calories (only 11 grams per 100 gram raw leaves), it is regarded as one of the most nutritiously dense foods on Earth.
Lentils In the Bible story Esau sold his birthright as the first born to his brother, Jacob, for a bowl of lentil soup. While this was perhaps a rash decision, at least he got a nutritious meal out of it. Making Time magazine’s list of the 50 healthiest foods, lentils are a cheap, healthy source of protein and fiber and also contains iron and zinc. - Women24.
Cranberries Cranberries aren’t indigenous to SA and can’t be farmed here. In fact, the vast majority of the world’s cranberries come from the U.S. They grow in water and the harvest is something to behold. Cranberries have long been hailed as an effective weapon in the fight against urinary tract infections. Recent studies have shown this is
because they contain proanthocyanidins that act as a barrier against bacteria. This is not only good news for those who suffer from UTIs, but reports suggest that cranberries can be beneficial when treating stomach ulcers and can protect the liver and cardiovascular system. Studies also show they work best when in food form, so for best results, opt for the whole berries instead of the juice.

EGISTRATION for this year’s Mandela Day Marathon will be on 25 August at the Moses Mabhida Stadium and on 26 and 27 August at the Olympia Hall at the Royal Showgrounds in Pietermaritzburg. The theme for this year’s race on 28 August is from one of the former president and struggle icon Nelson Mandela’s famous inspirational quotes, “It always seems impossible until it’s done.” Msunduzi Municipality marketing and communications manager Lungelo Sithole said that participating in the 42.2km race from Imbali to Howick seems impossible, however, the past winners have proved it can be done. “When you start any project achieving your goals seems impossible, but by the moment you take the first step you realise that it can be done. Goals seem impossible when you look at them from far. “We have met a lot of runners who are scared to run the whole marathon. We would like them to take the bold step and challenge themselves. By the time they finish the 42.2km race they will have a profound appreciation for the heritage that this prestigious race holds,” said Sithole. He said this year the marathon will be celebrating five years and is expected to host up to 15 000 athletes from over 30 countries. The race starts at the Manayi Hall where Mandela delivered his last speech in 26 March, 1961 before his arrest near Howick the following year on August 5 Sithole stated that many athletes who in the past participated in the 42.2km race have said that the “Struggle Hill” is the toughest point of the race. The most difficult years of Madiba’s political life are symbolised by this eight-kilometre steep stretch, said Sithole in a statement. Entries for the competition close on 31 July and there will be no date extensions. There will be 15 refreshment stations catering for athletes’ needs. “Various sponsors have come on board for the 2016 Mandela Day Marathon and all dietary requirements will be met. The refreshment portfolio will be led by John Hall well known in the road running fraternity assisted by 400 volunteers to distribute 60 tons of refreshments to the more than 10 000 participants.
‘It always seems impossible until it’s done.’
About 250kg biscuits, 300kg choco lates, 90kg Energellies, 30kg potato crisps, 250kg bananas, 20 pockets of po tatoes, 55 pockets of oranges, 20kg salt, 40 000 litres of water in sachets and 500ml bottles, 3 000 litres of energy drink in sachets, 7 000kg ice, 8 000 litres of CocaCola and 70 000 cardboard CocaCola cups will be handed to athletes,” said Sithole.

>> ‘This might draw attention to the organisation’ CHELSEA PIETERSE
A
PIETERMARITZBURG man has put aside his running shoes and will be taking on the Comrades Marathon barefoot this year, all in the name of charity. Old Mutual broker Graham Wells (39), will be tackling the 90km ultra- marathon for the Starfish Greathearts Foundation. The foundation is a non-profit organisation supporting over 22 000 children affected by poverty and HIV across the country. Starfish works with over 45 community-based organisations providing children with a cooked meal after school, and school supplies. “A lot of people have told me I am crazy,” said Well. “I have always done bits and pieces for charity. I have run the New York Marathon, the London Marathon and
completed four Iron Man triathlons for charity,” he said. “I chose to run for the Starfish Foundation because it is a charity that concentrates on helping children who need it. “I have children and I know there are always people who have a harder time than you and running barefoot for this organisation will be worth it.” Wells said his mother, who is a nurse, told him he was “mad” for wanting to run the Comrades barefoot, but Wells said he knew he had to do something “extraordinary” to raise money for the foundation. “Running barefoot was my idea. I am not always good with being in the limelight, but I thought this might help draw attention to the organisation and help raise money for it.” Wells said he started running barefoot eight months ago and while it had been difficult in the beginning,
he was now used to it. “Where there is a will, there is a way and people may think it is a crazy thing to do, but I am proud of it and I will not give up,” he said. He said every R130 donated gave
