EDITORIAL COMMENT
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.

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.

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’.

The third run of a Mandela Day campaign in Pietermaritz burg called ‘We’re on the streets so the children don’t have to be’, initiated by a local business, BEE Novation, took place to raise funds for the Pietermaritzburg Children’s Home. The cam paign offered volunteers a chance to experience what many street children go through to survive, by spending their 67 min utes braving a winter morning, begging motorists for money. The initiative raised close to R12 000, more than dou bling last year’s collections. The campaign also included volun teer staff from companies such as Dove Funeral Services and XTEC PMB, who matched the amount collected by their staff on the street.
FTER the 90th birthday celebrations for Nel son Mandela in 2008 it was decided that the country should celebrate each year of the great man’s life thereafter to ensure his legacy con tinues. Mandela spent 67 years fighting for the rights of humanity so it was decided that South Africans should dedicated 67 minutes on his birthday, 18 July, to some form of charity work, trying to emulate the former president. It is described as an international day of humani tarian action where people are encouraged to do something to better the lives of someone less fortu nate. According to the official Nelson Mandela website the 67 minutes people take out on July 18 is to “in spire individuals to take action to help change the world for the better and in doing so build a global movement”.

Fire guts Europa Foam factory FIREFIGHTERS mobilised in full force to battle an inferno that engulfed a Pietermaritzburg factory in the Pano rama industrial area at the weekend. The Europa Foam factory in Birming ham Road was left gutted after the blaze, with more than 80% of the struc ture torn apart by the flames. Investiga Counsellor denied bail THE parents of children who say they were abused by their former school guidance counsellor, and their supporters, were relieved yesterday when the 32-year-old man was denied bail. Magistrate M. Boikhutso said she
tors were still establishing the cause of the blaze. Deputy chief fire officer Jag athesan Padayachee said all units rushed to the distress call just before 1am on Saturday and found four differ ent sectors of the factory alight. Paday achee said it took firefighters almost two hours to get the situation under control.
He is single, and has family in KZN, but is renting property and does not own any assets. She therefore regarded him as a flight risk. She noted that two more charges of sexual assault were added to the charge sheet after he first appeared in court. Boikhutso said it was also important to note that the alleged offences happened on school premises. Although the counsellor no longer works there, he apparently still enjoys support from his fellow teachers, she said. She found it was possible that the counsellor could tamper with evidence or influence witnesses if given bail. The man faces two counts of rape and two of sexual assault of boys aged between seven and 10. The state alleged in the hearing that the counsellor targeted dysfunctional children or those with learning difficulties who were referred to him for counselling.
found nothing exceptional in the counsellor’s evidence supporting his bail application. She said he had no previous convictions or pending cases and was reportedly very involved in the community, professionally and in sport.
Officers from the Combined Action Team take an alleged shebeen operator into custody after he was found to be operating without a licence.

Crackdown on illegal shebeens POLICE searched customers at an illegal shebeen in the Haniville informal settlement at the weekend. One man was found in possession of an axe when police burst through the front door. The two-day operation was held to infiltrate and shut down illegal liAccidents on Saturday night A WOMAN believed to be in her thirties sustained a serious fracture to her leg when two vehicles collided headon on Murray Road. At about 10pm paramedics arrived on scene where they found the woman still trapped in her vehicle. The fire department had to use the jaws of life to free her from the wreckage. Once freed, she was stabilised and transported to Northdale Hospital. A family of four peo ple in the second vehicle were assessed. They sustained no injuries and declined further care on scene. SEVEN people were injured when a lightduty vehicle crashed down an em bankment near the Dusi Bridge. Shortly after 10pm paramedics from ER24 arrived at the scene along a dirt road where they found the patients and members of the community. It is understood that the vehi cle crashed several metres down the em
quor outlets in the Copesville area that many criminals frequent. ANCYL demands investigation in to alleged Northdale Hospital racism THE ANC Youth League in the Moses Mabhida region has demanded an independent investigation to probe racism allegations at Northdale Hospital. About 100 youth league members picketed at the hospital and handed over a memorandum. Provincial secretary Thanduxolo Sabelo said the hospital “remains the most untransformed” in the province. Sabelo said black patients were subjected to long queues at the hospital while other races were allowed to cut them. Health department spokesperson Sam Mkhwanazi accepted the memorandum, which he said would be handed to the department head to look at. The hospital was given a month to respond or face more pickets and mass action. Citywide prayer meeting VARIOUS political and religious leaders got together at the city hall on Saturday morning to pray for the city following the violence the area has seen in the build-up to local government elections on 3 August. The religious leaders also expressed concern about the drought, which has left areas around the city without water for weeks. Man killed by relative AN argument over a geyser that was left on may have sparked the murder of 20-year-old Kuthula Mhlana, allegedly by a relative at their Allandale home at the weekend. The high-school pupil was allegedly stabbed four times in the chest, neck and stomach by a relative. According to Pietermaritzburg police spokesperson Captain Gay Ebrahim, the incident stemmed from an argument between the two relatives. Numerous police sources allege an argument broke out between Mhlana and his relative over why the geyser in the house was bankment. The community helped the oc cupants back up the embankment prior to paramedics’ arrival. Four men and three women were treated for injuries ranging from severe lacerations to multiple frac tures. A PEDESTRIAN was killed on the N3 south near the Church Street offramp. At approximately 6pm paramedics found the lifeless body of the pedestrian lying in the centre median. Some of his colleagues were standing around him at the time. He was declared dead on the scene. It is un derstood from the bystanders that they were on their way home and crossed the highway from the northbound side when the collision occurred. They were all trau matised the vehicle driver was also in shock, but did not sustain any injuries. A MAN was injured when his truck crashed through cement barriers along the N3 south near Townhill.

The relative allegedly flew into a rage and stabbed Mhlana to death. Police have recovered the knife as well as the relative’s bloodied clothes. Oneshoe thief ENTERPRISING thieves in Pietermaritzburg are leaving their customers hopping on one foot in a sneaky scam involving high-end shoes. The modus operandi is to snatch single shoes off the retailer’s display shelves and sell them to the public for a quick buck. The sale is made under the pretext that the money paid for the single shoe acts as a deposit, and the criminal will return with the shoe’s left-legged partner, after which the remainder of the full amount can be paid. However, having paid the money, the victim is left waiting with a single shoe, usually the right foot. QuickServ Shoes assistant manager Alvin Jerrier said their Church Street store had been struck 10 times in the past two months. medics found a towing service indicating that the truck was lying down the em bankment. The truck was not visible from the highway. Several residents in the area called emergency services after they heard a loud crash. Emergency services patrolled the route and found the break in the barrier where the truck had crashed through. Par amedics from ER24 assembled a rope sys tem and abseiled down to the truck. Upon assessment they found that the driver was not inside of the truck. When they called out they could hear his cries for help. He was ejected from the truck and found about 10 metres below the wreckage. Lo cal fire and rescue services assembled a hoist system to hoist the patient back up to the highway. After an hour the patient was brought to safety and fully assessed. He was treated for multiple lacerations and possible rib fractures and later trans ported to Northdale Hospital.
Diversifying chartered accounting industry >> There is currently a huge gap in the accounting profession NICOLE JOHN >>nicole@pmbfever.co.za

N an effort to diversify the chartered accounting industry, the South African Institute for Chartered Accountants (SAICA) recently hosted a maths camp at the University of KwaZulu-Natal for the first time. The annual Thuthuka Develop-
ment Camps is a unique partnership between the Department of Basic Education and SAICA and was established in 2005 to help overcome barriers to transformation within the accountancy profession. There is currently a huge gap in the accounting profession with black and coloured groups being the minority. These groups are the focus for the Thu-
thuka Development Camps. The latest SAICA chartered accountants (CA) statistics are over 30 000 white, more than 4 000 Indian, over 3 000 black and over 1 000 coloured. Speaking to Maritzburg Fever, Yuven Gounden SAICA project manager for communications, said the camp was developed to enhance and upskill pupils who are doing well in
successful GLN political party meeting un
maths. “We identify pupils who are good academic candidates who are performing well in maths and who we think will benefit from having added lessons in subjects that are key for the CA profession,” he said. Thuthuka Development Camps are run throughout all nine provinces and take on about 200 pupils in each camp, where they are housed in university residences and everything is provided for them to fully reap the benefits of the week-long programme. Each camp consists of a five-to-seven-day workshop where pupils are given additional support in mathematics, communication, science, accounting, career guidance and life skills subjects. The camps are led by students who have previously been through the camps. The week includes motivational talks by camp leaders, universi-

ty representatives, institutions such as financial services boards and spokespeople from various professions. Camp pupils are eligible for the Thuthuka Development Bursaries where SAICA provides them with tuition, residence fees, a stipend and book allowance. After completing their CA studies, which takes seven years, students are placed in financial firms that are part of the SAICA bursary programme. “We give the trainees back to our donors, which is a good thing for their employment, but at the same time it means we are transforming the profession by injecting the necessary demographics into firms,” said Gounden.

At the recent local government public meeting hosted by the Gay and Lesbian Network (from left) Dr Nonhlanhla Hlongwane (IEC), Jacquiline MselekuKhanyile (moderator), Anthony Wald hausen (Gay & Lesbian Network director), Martin Meyer (Democratic Alliance) and Gugu Memela (IEC). THE Gay and Lesbian Network were shocked and despondent when only one political party attended the recent public meeting which was held for major political parties to engage with the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex (LGBTI) community. The aim was to engage with political parties on issues of concern to the LGBTI community regarding service delivery issues and hate crimes and allow interaction of marginalised and vulnerable groups in Pietermaritzburg. The Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) was also invited to provide an overview of the election processes and voter education. According to GLN all major parties were invited to attend and various party representatives expected, however, only Martin Meyer from the Democratic Alliance was present. “The lack of commitment shown by a failure to attend gives the impression that politicians and their respective parties do not care about the LGBTI electorate and, possibly, the other vulnerable and marginalised sectors of the local population. “The level of civil unrest in the country is unsurprising given the failure to engage with the electorate when suitable platforms are provided prior to the elections. It would therefore seem that the DA is the only party willing
to engage with the LGBTI electorate ahead of the local government elections scheduled for 3 August” said Anthony Waldhausen, director of the GLN. Waldhausen said that with South Africa’s abstention from the UN Human Rights Council in respect of the protection against violence and discrimination based on sexual orientation, and gender identity resolution, is a disappointing blow to organisations that are working for the protection of lives of LGBTI people in South Africa.
“We will keep attempting to engage various political parties throughout the year. We have accordingly extended an invitation to various political parties to march alongside us during the street parade in Pietermaritzburg on 28 October as part of the Pink Mynah Festival. “This would be a welcome symbol of support and willingness to journey with us in making Pietermaritzburg the City of Choice, even for the vulnerable and marginalized,” he said. - Supplied
MIND the Gap, in its fourth year, provides a platform for communication between secondary and tertiary education. Topics of interest to teachers, pupils, par ents and role players are debated and discussed. The session began with an address by Dr Bev Killian, a clini cal psychologist, who tackled the topic of labelling and how people react to the way in which they label them selves or are labelled by society. Delegates then offered a range of topics to choose from to speak about in breakaway sessions. These ses sions included topics on role modelling the whole per
son, effective notes and summaries, open education resources, educational tools from household waste, school versus tertiary and the notsoobvious differ ence. The topics enabled attendees to interact with one another and the presenters for knowledge and skills and networking. The day finished with a presen tation by Liesl Scheepers, who discussed technology as a social phenomenon and its impact on how teach ers, parents, pupils and adults interact, both socially and educationally. There were also lucky draw prizes, including a laptop from Varsity College. Supplied.

“The campaign, which runs over Women’s Month, was well received by government and private schools with more than 15 high schools participating in the nomination process last year. “I was delighted to see how the young ladies from a variety of schools and backgrounds quickly bonded and worked together on an outreach project to collect non-perishables for Mama Ntombis Community Projects.

They also visited Eziketheni on Heritage Day,” said Edmonds. The organisers encourage schools to not only nominate three to five young ladies, but to invite the organisers to personally address their pupils at assembly. The Pietermaritzburg Community Chest is once again the beneficiary of the campaign and has asked for assistance with a particularly relevant, but sensitive issue, faced by underprivileged adolescent girls absence from school during their menstrual cycle because they cannot afford sanitary towels. “Research shows that many underprivileged girls miss between a month to two months of school over
the course of a year due to this issue and this naturally has a very negative impact on their academic performance. “This year our semi-finalists will call on their schools and community to assist them with this particular project,” said Govender. A campaign of this nature cannot function without the support of business and the following businesses have come on board to offer their services and prizes for the Young Ladies with Heart - Solé Salons and Spa, Marcos Jewellers, Foodpak, Minuteman Press, Artfarts, Theron Media and Elation Productions. Pietermaritzburg schools, it is time to nominate your young ladies with heart. Your nominations not only put a feather in their cap, but enable them to embark on a journey which has a positive impact on their lives. - Supplied. Nomination forms can be down loaded from www.just bou tique.net and schools can also contact the administrators telephon ically and follow the campaign on Fa cebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Nicole John THE saying “beauty is in the eye of the beholder” is one we, as women, are all too familiar with, but do we really know what this means? The literal meaning of course is that
Thanks to all who helped I WOULD like to express my gratitude to the paramedics, police, traffic officers and bystanders, especially Brent and Craig, who assisted at my fiance, Charles’s accident in Peter Kerchhoff Street last Tuesday morning. I was unable to get there, but my dad advised me of the efficiency, empathy and professionalism of all in attendance. I plead with all motorists to be vigilant, obey the road rules, stop making illegal U-turns, overtaking on solid lines, and skipping red traffic lights — I see these things happening daily. You are gambling with the lives of people’s loved ones. #roadrulesmatter KATY HART Pietermaritzburg
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder the perception of beauty is subjective depending on each person’s likes and dislikes. However, society is fixated on dictating what beauty actually is making it seem as though there is only one beholder - society and its expectation. As a result, many women try to emulate the women they see in the glossy Western magazines and mould themselves to that image in order to fit the ideal picture of what a beautiful woman is. Society’s idea of a size zero model, scantily clad, with flawless skin, is the image some women try to conform to. They no longer find happiness in
shot - the one that we think will get the most likes on Facebook and be admired by all our friends. But what image are you trying to emulate? It’s the image that society has put out of what perfection looks like. The truth is - there are millions of women in the world, each with their own gifts and talents and beauty no one person is the same, and we come to realise this as we get older. What society fails to teach children, especially girls, is that beauty is subjective. People are attracted to different features. Teaching girls to be comfortable in their skin is important and will help, not only with their self-confidence, but prevent them from eating disorders, emotional issues and the like. As you get older you learn that what society deems beautiful is not really what people look for. Unfortunately, it is an ongoing struggle for women to
their own skin, but rather spend time and money, trying to replicate images of women they are exposed to in the media. Compounding the issue is the phenomenon that is the selfie and the wonderful filters for pictures on hundreds of applications that can be downloaded onto our phone. Thinking back a few years this was not something people even thought about. Nowadays you find people taking hundreds of selfies and posting pictures that sometimes end up not even looking like themselves. We’re all looking for the perfect
Fight fire with fire RECENT articles in The Witness and local community newspapers covered incidents of violence and killings in Copesville. The criminals are getting more brazen brutal and gruesome by the day. Holding a firearm to the head of a four-year-old child is abominable and barbaric. Ladies and little children being bashed around and threatened with knives and guns during a robbery is extremely traumatising. In another horrifying case robbers tried kicking down the door of a sleeping family at 1.30am. After failing to gain entry they fired shots injuring one of the inhabit-
ants. In the past two days there were two shootings one of which was fatal. Crime is also becoming more prevalent in the neighbouring suburbs where murders and hijackings are on the rise and the Raisethorpe CBD where muggings have become a regular occurrence. Pupils are attacked and robbed of their cellphones while walking home from school and ladies chains are ripped off their necks in the street in broad daylight. Law-abiding citizens are being attacked in their homes and are no longer safe behind locked doors. These criminal gangs are stopping at nothing and are well armed.
The Constitution under Section 205 (3) states: “The objectives of the police service are to prevent, combat and investigate crime, to maintain public order, to protect and secure the inhabitants of the Republic and their property and to uphold and enforce the law.” I believe that in tough situations fire must be fought with fire and perhaps the SAPS should put Copesville under lockdown mode and flush out these criminals once and for all. Citizens have a right to be safe and secure. DENNIS MOODLEY via email

IT is with much regret and sadness that we learnt of the death of Detective Nanda Mottai, an astute and exceptional gentlemen. Many senior police officers at the funeral paid tribute to this gifted detective. Mourners at the funeral service were informed of his exceptional ability to bring an accused before court and lead evidence and support his or her conviction and incarceration. Mottai was a top detective at SAPS Mountain Rise for more than 30 years, who single handedly solved several heinous crime cases over the years, which were passed to him for investigation. Sadly, the detective retired and was not around to ensure Shirien Dewani, Oscar Pistorious and the murderer of Senzo Mnyeni were safely behind bars. Pietermaritzburg has lost a top detective with an amazing ability to solve cases, but not just that, he obtained successful convictions for all his cases. He received many commendations from Supreme Court judges, which was a

learn to accept who they are and what they look like. We are all guilty of looking in the mirror and wishing we had curly hair instead of straight, longer legs, perfect teeth, flatter tummies, the list goes on. It’s common for many women to want something they do not have. It takes a strong woman to look in the mirror, see her flaws, accept them and walk out the house exuding confidence. Audrey Hepburn, British actress and humanitarian once said: “The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It’s the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows and the beauty of a woman only grows with passing years.” We’d all do well to remember this.

rare achievement in those days for a non-white police officer. To my knowledge the only other non-white officers to receive such accolades were Major Pipes Haffajee, Captains Holby, Sizwe “Tall” Makhatini, Madurai and the late detective Dan Njilo. Mottai is one of the rarest and best detectives I have come across during my career in the SAPS. Pietermaritzburg has suffered a great loss. He will be sadly missed by his erstwhile colleagues, children and all who came into contact with him over the years. May his soul rest in peace. LOGAN GOVENDER via email
Terrifying Aids statistics STATISTICS are essential, but sometimes terrifying upon closer analysis. Take HIV stats, for example - even though South Africa does not have the highest HIV infection rate or national population, we still have the highest number of people living with HIV/Aids at 6 836 500 (2014 figures according to Wikipedia). China, India and the U.S. combined have 4 007 900 HIV-positive people, even though their combined population is over 55 times greater than our population. Our infection rate of 18,92% is a major national crisis. The highest HIVpositive rates are in Swaziland at 27,73% and Botswana at 25,16%, but our greater population gives SA more people needing treatment. No war, political system or drought has come close to claiming the over 6,8 million lives HIV will take in SA unless a cure is found. I urge my country to commit to ending this pandemic’s growth. All other economic, political and security concerns are insignificant in comparison. ROBERT NICOLAI Howick

Do you have a licence to tow MANY families have used theses school holidays to get away, towing trailers, boats or caravans behind them. But, unbeknown to many, their driving licence may not be legal to tow these trailers. It is assumed by many drivers in South Africa that by passing their driver’s test, they are automatically qualified to tow, and while this was once the case, it has not been for a long time. In 2000, the government changed to the credit card-type driving licence. When this happened, all code 08 licences were automatically converted to EB code licences. Since then, all new standard driving licences issued are only code B licences. What this means is that a code B licence

allows a motorist to tow a light luggage trailer weighing less than 750 kilograms (fully laden). To tow a heavier trailer, caravan or boat, a code EB licence is required. “Code B drivers, who tow trailers heavier than 750kgs are doing so illegally,” the AA warned. The law does not make provision for a simple upgrade from the code B to the code EB licence. Motorists who want a code EB licence must retake the tests, with a trailer weighing more than 750kgs. The AA said it is important for motorists to ensure their vehicles, including a trailer or caravan, are roadworthy and legally certified for towing. - Automobile Association.

autofever UNSAFE TYRES ON average 14 000 lives are lost each year in road collisions and many more people are injured in the process. Some sources put the number as high as 20 000. Sadly, many of these incidents can be attributed to unsafe tyres and could easily have been avoided. SATMC is a representative body consisting of the four local tyre manufactures - Apollo (formerly Dunlop), Bridgestone, Continental and Goodyear. Locally tyres are also specifically designed for South African road and climate conditions which make them safer and durable. SATMC CEO, Etienne Human warns against cheap and unknown tyre brands on the market. “These tyres do not hold to the same performance levels, which greatly compromises safety, have a shorter life and poor road performance. Remember, they’re cheap for a reason.” Fitting second-hand tyres may cost you less in the short-term but could end up costing you much more in the long run. “Remember, if your car - including the tyres - is in any way deemed unroadworthy, your insurance company is unlikely to pay out a claim in the event of an incident.

Tyre tips that can save your life
Unsafe tyres are one of the many reasons for road fatalities every year. Check out some top tyre tips to keep safe. The South African Tyre Manufacturers’ Con ference is urging all road users to give priority to the safety of their vehicle’s tyres before they set TOP TYRE TIPS • Check your tyres regularly (including the spare) - ideally once a month. Check their pressures, look for damage, sufficient tread and whether there are any nails or sharp objects embedded that could cause a puncture. • Check wheel balancing and alignment at regular intervals. Correctly balanced tyres reduce vibration and make for a smoother ride. They also increase tread and shock absorber life. • Rotate your tyres every 10 000km. They will wear out more evenly. • Ideally, tyres should be replaced in fours. If it’s not possible, at least in pairs, try to replace it with the same type, load index and speed rating as the originals. • Make sure your tread is more than 1mm* over the entire tread surface and get them replaced as soon as it drops below that. This will prevent skidding on wet roads. A 3mm tread depth has about 20% more stopping ability on a wet road than 1mm. Old tyres also become hard providing less road grip. • Tyres should be correctly inflated. Underinflated tyres will increase fuel consumption and tyre wear on the tread shoulders, while
off on their holidays and longdistance travel. The high death toll on South African roads is nothing new. During 2012’s festive season more than 1400 people were killed.
over-inflated tyres will reduce grip especially in wet weather and run down the tread over the middle of the tread surface. • Have a puncture assessed as soon as possible. If the puncture is in the tread and less than 6mm in diameter, it can be sealed and you can continue to drive with the same tyre. If it is bigger than 6mm or occurs on the sidewall, the tyre will have to be replaced. A spaghetti plug repair is a temporary fix - to buy you some time to get to a tyre workshop and have the tyre replaced or repaired with a proper mushroom type plug. • All tyres should be replaced after seven years, regardless of use, damage or tread. Tyres are exposed to weather conditions and aging, which degrades the integrity of the tyre, regardless of how far you have travelled or how often the tyres are used. Take special care to replace caravan and trailer tyres after seven years, even if you only use them once or twice a year. *1 mm - that’s the legal limit but Wheels24 recommends at least double that tread depth for you tyres’ to displace water anywhere near efficiently - which is the only reason for having tread grooves in the first place. - Supplied.

protect your car W
INTER is on its way with temperatures in South Africa already showing a gradual decline. While many South Africans will ensure they are protected against the cold, vehicle owners can forget about that their cars need protec tion and care against the elements. The Automobile Association shares some advice for ensuring your vehicle performs opti mally during the winter months. Batteries Batteries tend to give more problems during winter because of the increased amps drawn by the starter to crank the cold engine. The last thing you want on a cold winter’s day is to be stuck with no power to propel your vehicle. To avoid this, ensure you battery is in good working condition: • Check the water (electrolyte) level. Make sure the level is not too low (it must cover the fluid plates) and, if necessary, top it up. Use on ly distilled water (water that is boiled and al lowed to cool). Avoid overfilling and clean any spillage. • Keep the battery clean. Clean the termi nals with warm (not hot) soapy water and re move any acid or dirt buildup, which can cause the battery to selfdischarge quicker. • Secure the battery. Make sure the battery is secured properly and not moving around un der bonnet. • Charge the battery regularly. If you normal ly drive only short distances, or use your car in frequently, you may need to take a longer (one hour) drive each week to ensure the battery stays charged. Shorter trips, or excessive idling,

is not enough to charge the battery, and will shorten its lifespan. • Switch off before you switch on. Switch all other devices in your vehicle off before your switch the car on. These include the aircondi tioner, radio, lights, seat warmers, windscreen wipers, and demisters. In cold weather a fully charged battery provides less than half of the power than in warm weather. • Alternator belts. Check the belts for fraying or cracking. A loose alternator belt is a common is a common cause of battery failure. • Service your car. Poor engine condition can overload the battery, so ensuring your car is maintained according to the manufacturer’s specifications will extend the battery’s life. If you struggle to start your vehicle, do not crank the engine continuously as this may damage the starter, battery, and other elec tronic components. Tyres Always ensure your tyres are in a good con dition and not worn down. Worn tyres are ex tremely dangerous in all conditions but this danger can be multiplied in wet, snowy, and icy conditions. Check that your tyres are inflated to the cor rect pressure according to manufacturer’s guidelines, as this will ensure optimal road holding and tyre life. It is also a good idea to ensure you tyres are in a good condition because the law requires it and you may face stiff penalties if you are stopped and your tyres are found to be sub standard. The law says your tyres must have at least a one millimetre tread. Some tyres have tread wear indicators in the tread pattern to show when the tread depth is less that 1.6mm. In these cases, if the tread is level with this indicators, the tyre must be replaced as it is considered unroadworthy. Your insurance policy may also require that your car is roadworthy before you drive it, and worn tyres may void that condition. Remember your lights As the days get shorter, and the nights get longer, many motorists will leave for work in the morning while it is still dark outside and they will need to use the car’s headlights. Ensure the car’s headlights are working properly. Also en sure that you switch the headlights off when you reach your destination as you may have left them on after the sun came out during your journey. Park facing a wall if you can, the reflec tion of the lights will act as a reminder to switch them off. Windscreens and wipers If your car is parked outside overnight, you may have a layer of frost on the windscreen. Do not use warm water to clean this layer, your windscreen may crack. Instead use a scrapper (an old credit card will do) to remove the ice. Using the airconditioner to demist the interior of the car will also help. Make sure it is clear before you drive. Avoid using the windscreen sprayers when driving in cold conditions as the water from the reservoir will freeze onto the windscreen, and the wipers will not be able to clear the ice. Importantly, check the condition of your wiper blades and replace them if need ed, and avoid cleaning mud and soil from the windscreen with the wipers as these can scratch the glass. If possible, park your car un dercover at night to ensure your windscreen re mains clear the next morning. Automobile Association of South Africa (Wheels24)

Save fuel with good road manners and ‘suss’ A
LONG with the unexpected cold snap, consumers have also been advised to snap out of their bad spending habits to lighten the burden of the recent fuel, interest rate and electricity price increases. Les McMaster, chairman of the Motor Industry Workshop Association (MIWA), said in hard times consumers think twice about their expenditure and many scramble to meet the running costs of their vehicles. One of the ways motorists can reduce the running costs of a vehicle is to improve fuel economy, but how do you do this? Here are some tips from McMaster to saving fuel. Be considerate on the road. “It may seem petty, but being a considerate, patient driver is good
for your fuel tank. Aggressive, agitated drivers tend to stop and start abruptly, especially in city traffic, and this places a lot of wear and tear on the car. Take it easy on your brakes and transmission and your car, and fuel tank will return the favour.” It is not advisable to forego a service or maintenance if your car needs it because it could end up costing you a lot more in the long run. “If your car is out of warranty, it’s a good idea to shop around for better servicing deals. Independent specialist dealers are often a lot cheaper. “For peace of mind, get references for the service centre before handing over your keys,” he said. Miwa says it has debunked five fuel-consumption myths.
Debunking fuel-consumption myths Myth 1: You may have to drive a smaller car to save fuel Many of the most fuel-efficient cars in the world are mid-size or large cars. Myth 2: You need to warm your car up before you drive it Modern cars can be driven within seconds of being started and the quickest way to warm up a car’s engine is in fact to drive it. Myth 3: As a car ages, so its fuel efficiency decreases A car that is properly maintained, no matter what the age, will retain its fuel efficiency for many years. Myth 4: Manual transmissions get better fuel economy than automatics Advances in automatic trans-
missions have improved their efficiency to the point that automatic vehicles often get the same or even better fuel economy than manual transmission vehicles. Myth 5: Keep your windows and air conditioner off on a long road trip This makes no difference to your fuel usage at all. Fuel-saving facts Fact 1: Make sure the tyres are the right pressure Underinflated tyres can reduce your fuel efficiency by up to three per cent. Fact 2: Stick to the speed limit This could save you over 10% on fuel, and even more on the highways. Fact 3: Don’t idle your vehicle Turning the ignition off instead of idling, even for just a minute or
more, can save you almost 20% on fuel. Fact 4: Avoid rush hour It’s near impossible for thousands of motorists to avoid it but stay out of rush hour if you can; the constant starting, stopping and idling is a fuel-economy killer! Fact 5: Keep the boot light Extra weight in the boot requires extra power and extra fuel from your engine, especially if you drive a smaller car. “The bottom line is that good fuel economy starts with driving a fuel-efficient car, buddying-up on trips, and maintaining your car. The tips we’ve provided will help to keep the needle out of the red to provide that much-needed budget breather,” said McMaster. - wheels24.

OUTH African restaurants are invited to enter the inaugural Eat Out Woolworths Sustainability Award, the winner of which will be announced at the 2016 Eat Out Mercedes-Benz Restaurant Awards later this year. This new award is aimed at recognising restaurants that are implementing practices that are environmentally and socially responsible in an effort to be more sustainable as well as being cognisant of the importance of higher animal welfare. “We recognise that achieving sustainability is an ongoing process, but we want to showcase restaurants that are making great strides to promote good practices,” said Eat Out editor, Abigail Donnelly. The Eat Out Woolworths Sustainability Award judging panel is independent from that of the Eat Out Mercedes-Benz Restaurant Awards. The panel consists of Donnelly, Pavitray (Pavs) Pillay of WWF-SASSI, Lynsay Sampson of Fairtrade South Africa, Sonia Mountford of Eategrity and Karen Welter of the Longtable Project. Eat Out has worked with these partners to develop robust criteria for evaluating restau-
rants for this award. The winner will be the restaurant that best meets these criteria. “We live in an age where it’s imperative for restaurants to be conscious of their environmental and social impact. The aim of the Eat Out Woolworths Sustainability Award is to inspire readers and members of the food industry to reduce their impact, to create greater awareness about responsible sourcing and eating, and to reward a restaurant that has shown true commitment in this regard,” said Justin Smith, group head of sustainability, Woolworths Holdings. To enter, restaurants must complete an entry form, which lists the criteria against which they will be judged. All criteria need to have been met for six months or longer in order for a restaurant to qualify. Interested restaurants can download the entry form here https://newmediadigital.co.za/ eatout/woolworths/sustainability-awards.pdf or contact Julie Potgieter at Julie.Potgieter@newmediapub.co.za or 071 375 2220 to request an entry form. The closing date for entries is 15 August. - Supplied.

Ahead of the grand finals of the Spar KZN School Girls’ Hockey Challenge is St Anne’s College’s captain, Julia Saulez. STANDING head and shoulders above most of her opponents, St Anne’s captain, Julia Saulez, is easily recognisable on the turf. Her love for the game first started in Grade 1, fast-forward a handful of years and she now has full colours for both Inland team and plays golf off a 14 handicap. “I love the fact that it is a team sport and you make amazing friends while playing it,” said Julia. She is as focused in the classroom with her hard work earning her full colours for academics. The matric pupil is hoping to do a
mathematical science degree at Stellenbosch next year. “Maths is by far my favourite subject. I am hoping to balance my degree with hockey next year.” Talent runs in the Saulez genes, with both of her parents being sporty. “My dad played cricket, tennis, rugby and golf at a high level and my mom played lots of sport at school, one being hockey. “I have one brother and he is currently pursuing a career in golf,” she said. “I did the highest bridge bungee jump in the world, and I would do it
again in a heartbeat. I can’t wait to go sky diving. I love doing anything that gets your heart rate racing,” said the self-proclaimed adrenaline junkie. After the mid-year break, shaking off the winter blues, Julia and her team will take on the crème de la crème of teams in the upcoming Spar KZN School Girl’s Hockey Challenge. Playing in attack, the captain is hoping to lead by example. “We are hoping to make the finals. Training has been going well. We have a very united team, and love playing together.” - Supplied.

into The Oval and the 10km athletes doing another loop around the schools’ precinct, before returning back to The Oval.
