pinetown This week ONLINE www.hillcrestfever.co.za

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.

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.

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!

>> Hope House also assists mothers who, due to their circumstances, are unable to care for their babies NOSIPHO MKHIZE nosipho.mkhize@media24.com

H

OPE House in Pinetown, a haven for abandoned babies, was cofounded by Sonia Swinton and Lynne Pieterse in 2007.

“We are a non-profit Christian home, caring for up to 12 abandoned babies from newborn to toddlers.

“Our organisation became a registered NPO and PBO in 2014,” said Pieterse.

“We started as part of the Pinetown Presbyterian Church’s New Hope Ministry, with the intention of giving mothers who cannot care for their babies other options rather than to abort or abandon them.

“We continue as one of the ministries of this church.

“Babies, who have been given up for adoption are placed in our care, waiting to be united with their forever families. As part of our outreach programme, Hope House also assists mothers who, due to their circumstances, are unable to care for their babies at the time, so we give them the opportunity of getting back on their feet.

“In the event that the mother’s circumstances become stable again, the child is returned to her.”

She said children are taken by a social worker and placed there by the court until their adoption, or until circumstances allow them to be returned to their biological families.

“Over the past eight years 50 children have been fostered at Hope House, most of whom were adopted.

It seeks to recognise and, within reason, provide for each child's specific needs.

“We affirm that children are to be loved and celebrated and placed with families. Hope House is a place of re-

Swinton is a registered child carer and has extensive experience with children.

“These children are God’s blessings, which He has entrusted to us for a short time, before going to their forever families. They give us a lot of love

and joy.”

Pieterse is also a registered foster parent, who cares for abandoned babies at Hope House.

“It’s not about what you give the children, but what you get back from them. It’s so rewarding to see them develop.”

Pieterse cooks the daily meals and

looks after the home’s administration side of things. She works from the home office doing the books for three small companies in order to bring in an income.

“To enable us to continue this service to our community, we require support, donations or sponsorships to ensure the children at Hope House re-

ceive the shelter, food, medical care and love they so desperately need.

“There are currently 10 children being cared for at the home. In the past nine years a total of 58 children have been welcomed to Hope House. Of these, two were adopted locally, 25 were adopted internationally and 19 were returned to their families.”

HIS passion for writing saw the launch of his book, The African Code.

Xolo Songca (24) was born in a small town - Libode - on the outskirts of Mthatha in the Eastern Cape.

He was raised by parents who valued respect.

“I have two younger brothers, Mandla and Sanele. We are raised by parents, who value respect to the point that we cannot address adults without saying, ‘yes ma or yes sir’, so that played a big role in shaping me and where I am in life right now.

“We were taught the importance of respect and humility from a young age. I also have a son, who is very dear to me - he has his own chapter in the book. He goes by the name of Loyiso Lwazilwenkosi.

“He's played such an integral role in motivating me to make him proud of the fact that I'm his dad.

My late grandfather wrote a history book in the seventies, which I never got to read because it was banned as it contained black political content. So I also wanted to make him proud of me.

“My childhood memories were pretty awesome. I grew with my grandmother from my mother's side with a few of my cousins. I remember how on Christmas Day we were so excited to light fireworks and eat a lot of food.

“We used to make cars out of wire, swim in the river although that was strictly forbidden. But my childhood was very adventurous. I was very much an outdoor kind of child. I was quite impulsive as well, and very sensitive when I lost at a Pokemon or spinning top game because I did not like losing.

“I guess that evolved very much into my current character as well.

I don't like finishing second best.”

Xolo studied at the Durban University of Technology, where he did marketing, but later realised it wasn't what he wanted to do so he had to drop it.

“I then went into pharmaceutical marketing and that gave me the opportunity to liaise with people and understand the Department of Health in thorough perspective.

“I recognised its shortcomings and its achievements and I was very willing to form an integral role in patient care and patients’ rights.

“The political aspect of my character arises quite effortlessly when I deal with people and make their lives better.”

The African Code speaks about the ideas initiated by Steve Biko.

“I started writing the book in De-

cember 2014 and I completed it in January.

“It was a long process because I wanted to give myself enough time and speak facts so that required a lot of reading correspondent books and watching documentaries.

“The idea of black consciousness in my book, I tend to modify black consciousness to modern times. What does being black and being proud of it mean to the youth and black people of today?

“I touch on topics that emasculate the pride in our history, mostly

our unknown history. I try to empower young people to study more of their black history and I believe it is only by us educating ourselves in this manner that we may have the pride and self-love we require in order to tackle larger issues.

“I also offer tactics that we need to form our own black economy, our own inventions and innovations. I stress that the only way we can achieve world peace without racial barriers is by first empowering the previously disadvantaged races such as the black race in a sense that they are as much equal to any form of progress as other races of the human family.

“This is the only way we can talk world peace, is if we right the wrongs first. But in a nutshell I do believe my book contains a powerful message, and I do think that it is a book that everyone should have.”

When asked what inspired him to write the book he said: “Honestly, I've always being very vocal about black consciousness and so I imagined that doing it in book form would in itself be a powerful tool in the mission towards promoting a reading generation.

“But mostly, it's God that inspired me to write it. I believe I'm sent for something, and so I'm only performing what I'm sent to do, and this is only the beginning.

He advised the youth: “We are the generation that will lead our country toward greater thoroughfares. No dream is too big to accomplish, and no door is locked tightly enough not to kick open.

“It's time we as young people rise up and take our rightful seats in the pinnacle of African brilliance.

“It's time we become more politically aware. Great leaders of the past have paved the way for us, and it's time we make them proud, and truly, impossible is nothing,” he added.

KZN Childline Telethon raises vital funds CHILDLINE KZN received R526 978 in pledges through its fourth annual Telethon fund-raising initiative, providing the selffunded organisation with muchneeded revenue to sustain its operations.

During the two-day event last week benefactors committed their time to call on their network of contacts to secure donations for the children’s organisation.

The novel initiative invited participants to the Childline KZN offices to meet the team at the centre of its operations, affording them a better understanding of the organisation and its work before raising funds on its behalf.

According to Childline KZN director, Nomvuyo Shabangu, the organisation, which assists thousands of vulnerable and abused children, requires at least R8,4 million each year to manage its operations.

“As a non-profit organisation, funding plays a significant role in Childline KZN’s ability to perform its mandate. We have received generous funding from our donors over the years and the response to the telethon has been no different,” said Shabangu.

“Since the Telethon further pledges have continued to stream in and we would like to thank those who so generously heeded the call

to support this cause by either committing their time or contributing financially.”

Local comedian and Childline KZN brand ambassador, Carvin Goldstone lent his support by encouraging other comedians to volunteer their time during the Telethon.

Goldstone said the protection of children is a shared responsibility and stressed the importance of society being proactive in the fight against child abuse.

Childline KZN brand ambassador, Iman Mia said her association with the organisation and participation in the Telethon allows her to give back to the community.

“I support all that Childline KZN stands for and believe that it is an extremely worthy cause,” said Mia. The provincial organisation employs 16 qualified social workers, who render psycho-social therapeutic services to children who have been abused.

Further services include a provision of the 24-hour crisis toll-free helpline as well as prevention and outreach programmes, which are offered at local schools, to educate children, parents, teachers and communities about child abuse.

The organisation receives more than 20 000 calls and 500 reports

HE eThekwini Municipality’s decision to implement drought levies across the province to encourage people to save water has been hotly rejected by the Highway community.

According to residents they feel this is a slap in the face and this levy adds to the burden of already struggling household incomes.

Sheila Somers said she understands the water situation is dire and the lack of rainfall is not helping, however, she asks why must residents cough up money they simply do not have.

“We do need help. There is no doubt about it, we do not need help in one hand while there's another hand in our back pocket pulling it out.

“If the prices of daily commodities, including our rates and taxes had to drop, we could afford this added levy, but as it stands we just cannot see the light at the end of the tunnel. Is the municipality trying to put its residents into a bad debt situation?”

Andrea Mitchell said she also opposes the levy. “What infuriates me is that the municipality just does as it pleases and we are meant to accept it.

“We pay for the water we use, now why must a levy be added to this. A few months ago we had people coming around reducing the pressure on our waterlines, in addition we have had numerous water disruptions since then. Now we must pay for essentials we sometimes do not even have.

This is unnecessary. Our government/ municipality needs to find other ways to save water,” she added. eThekwini head of communica-

She said the levy is to encourage people to save water, otherwise the province will be heading towards a worse situation than we are currently in.

“The levy was implemented from 1 September, however, we are still finalising a report that will be presented to council to determine if we will be implementing the same drought levy to customers.

“It is premature at this stage to give any further details because no decisions have been made in this regard,” she added.

Camperdown rapist sentenced CAMPERDOWN Regional Court convicted and sentenced Mpumelelo Mzolo (20), to 12 years for rape he committed at Umsunduzi in the Othwebe area.

During June 2012 at about 9.30pm, the victim and her friend were at a tavern when they contacted the accused and asked him to walk home with them.

In the vehicle there was liquor and they all continued drinking.

After they finished the alcohol, the accused suggested they go to another tavern to buy more.

On the way home the accused pulled the victim into nearby bushes. | The victim tried to escape but the accused chased after her, severely assaulting her and eventual-

ly raping her.

The case of rape was opened at Umsunduzi station and the docket was transferred to Pinetown Family Violence, Child Protection and Sexual Offences Unit for further investigation that led to the arrest of the accused.

The accused made several court appearances before he was convicted and sentenced last week.

The KwaZulu-Natal Acting Provincial Commissioner, Major General Bheki Langa commended the sentencing and applauded the police for their good work.

“This sentence will send a message to other criminals that we will trace and arrest them wherever they are hiding,” he said.

SA and USA parallels

RANJENI MUNUSAMY

A

T a Republican campaign rally in Youngwood, Pennsylvania (U.S.), this week, I was interviewing some fervent Donald Trump supporters who were convinced that their guy would be the next president of the United States.

I asked them the obvious questions: are they not concerned by Trump’s thuggish behaviour and treatment of women, do they think he knows how to run a country, are they not put off by his business practices and failure to declare his taxes?

Most of them had stock responses.

They said they are not bothered by Trump’s scandals, conduct or wishywashy policies and believe that he is a

successful businessperson who will “make America great again”.

They are convinced that if his opponent Hillary Clinton wins the election, their way of life will be under attack.

Clinton’s campaign suffered a setback last week when the director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) James Comey, announced that the investigation into her e-mails is being reopened after they discovered potential new evidence on the computer of her aide’s husband.

Comey faced a barrage of criticism for breaking with convention and involving the FBI in a political matter so close to the election.

It has been surreal watching these events and listening to the views of U.S. voters, while keeping abreast of events back home.

National director of Public Prosecutions Shaun Abrahams announced this week that he is withdrawing the National Prosecuting Authority’s decision to charge Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan with fraud.

Abrahams, like Comey, believed he could fool people into thinking that he was simply doing his job when he was obviously motivated by a political agenda. It had become obvious to everyone that the case against Gordhan would collapse once it came before a

judge, and the agenda to hijack the national Treasury would have backfired.

Another parallel between developments in SA and the U.S. is how Trump supporters are choosing to overlook and excuse the obvious flaws in their candidate, and dupe themselves into thinking that he will make a good president.

President Jacob Zuma’s administration has been plagued with scandal, poor performance and the abuse of the state to enrich a group of politically connected people, including the Gupta family.

Zuma was given the benefit of the doubt when he first took office, even though many people believed he was a compromised figure. He proved that to be a valid concern by being a weak leader who allowed his government to be looted. Zuma was re-elected as ANC leader and state president despite people being aware that he is a bad leader who evades accountability and disrespects his party and the people of South Africa.

The ANC has consistently defended Zuma and excused his bad behaviour, even though it has been costly to the party, both in terms of its reputation and at the ballot box.

IT goes without saying that we all love music and I recently reflected on all the good music I used to listen to on the radio from the mid-eighties up to when radio was taken over by utter noise.

One of my favourite songs is Video Killed the Radio Star by The Buggles.

The song came out in 1979, but the original version was done two years earlier by Bruce Wolley and the Camera Club. Its title is self-explanatory.

The popularity of TV and music videos was starting to kill radio even as far back as 39 years ago. The irony is that the very same song went down in history as the first music video played on MTV, a TV channel (at that time) strictly dedicated to playing music videos.

I remember hearing the song for the

first time and liking it immediately. It was on Capital Radio 604 in 1993. Capital Radio, as it was commonly called, was a medium wave (AM) radio station based in Port St Johns in the then Transkei, which was supposed to be a separate country from South Africa.

The main aim of Capital Radio was to broadcast uncensored news and music. Its multiracial line-up of presenters came mostly from the United Kingdom and South Africa and everything about the station went against the laws of the apartheid South Africa.

When the station started broadcasting in 1979, it could reach listeners in South Africa and give them news they were not supposed to hear and music they were not supposed to listen to.

People of all races would call in and say exactly what was on their mind regarding the political situation of that time without fear.

Because it was a medium wave station, ships at sea could pick it up from anywhere in the world and there would be occasional calls from ports in faraway lands.

That used to fascinate me as a teen that a person in the middle of the Pacific was also listening to the same song I was listening to in my house.

week seems to have finally opened the ANC’s eyes to what it previously refused to see.

In a statement on Thursday, the ANC said: “… this report provides a concrete basis for the ANC and society in general to discuss the allegations contained therein and deal with its outcomes”.

“The ANC has long considered allegations of state capture as an attack on our democratic architecture and an anti-thesis of the values held dear by the ANC … Based on the investigations conducted by the public protector, South Africans have greater clarity of the concerning relationships that those in government and state-owned enterprises interacting with capital and private interests should be wary of.”

But the ANC has yet to confront the president directly about the evidence unearthed in the report or take demonstrable action against its members who have been at the beck and call of the Guptas. South Africa has learnt hard lessons about electing a compromised leader. The United States should be careful not to make the same mistake.

I also thought Capital Radio deejays were larger than life itself and were the coolest ever. Many came and went over the years, but listeners will never forget the voices of Steve Bishop, Kevin Savage, Dave Guselli, Justice Ramohlola, Alan Khan, Tony Blewitt, Kenny Maistry, Treasure Tshabalala, Allan Pierce, and many others.

This was also at a time when you had no idea what your favourite deejay looked like. Some of my most favourite songs of all time today are songs I first heard on Capital Radio.

I can truthfully say my taste in music today was shaped by what I grew up listening to then. The station played almost all genres of popular music and that’s how I am even now.

I have a favourite song in almost every genre and people are surprised by the play-list in my car.

There are some songs they played that I have never heard again. One of them, which I have searched everywhere for, is a 1990 track by a South African group made up of three coloured girls, called the Syndicate Sisters. I can’t recall the title, but I think it was I’m Missing your Love.

I was devastated when the station closed in 1996 and I believe my life was never the same again. Some of those deejays simply vanished while others moved on to other things.

Alan Khan went to East Coast Radio, Kenny Maistry to Metro FM and Justice Ramohlola can still be heard on Radio 2000 on the breakfast show.

I’m pretty sure Springbok Radio’s loyal listeners know the pain I’m talking about as they also witnessed their radio station close in 1985.

Today only a few radio deejays have that captivating star personality that draws you in. I now mostly listen to talk radio stations and local community radio to keep up with what’s going on around me. The days of quality radio and good music are gone forever and we are left with TV and its repeat programming. Video killed the radio star indeed, as it died an agonising death.

Capitalism vs a welfare state I RECEIVED the following via e-mail which puts our SA situation in a clear perspective. It should be read especially by those government officials who are dishonestly pocketing taxpayers’ money as well as those who are demanding free tertiary education (and causing untold damage to university property).

It went: A guy looked at my Corvette the other day and said: “I wonder how many people could have been fed for the money that sports car cost.” I replied: “I’m not sure.

But I do know that it fed a lot of families in Kentucky who built it. It fed the people who made the tyres, it fed the people who made the components that went into it, it fed the people in the mine who mined the copper for the wires. It also fed people at Caterpillar who make the trucks that haul the copper ore. It fed the truckers who hauled it from the plant to the dealer and fed the people working at the dealership and their families. But I admit I don’t know how many people it fed in total.”

The e-mail went on: That’s the difference between capitalism and a welfare mentality. When you buy something you put money in people’s pockets and give them dignity for their skills. When you give someone something for nothing you rob them of dignity. Capitalism is freely giving your money in exchange for something of value. Socialism is taking your money against your will and shoving something down your throat that you didn’t asked for. Need more be said?

satellite chips ESKOM CEO Brian Molefe’s claim that SA needs him is the new definition of blatantly untrue.

Oh yes, he was “at a nearby shebeen” to explain his cellphone records showing he was at the Gupta’s Saxonwold estate a lot.

SA really needs a shebeencrawling Eskom CEO who cannot even come up with a reasonably plausible excuse.

Cellphone placement is accurate to within 10 metres.

As all President Jacob Zuma’s appointed officials will now probably not carry cellphones, might I suggest they be implanted with satellite tracking chips so we know exactly where they go and who they see every day?

Business leader publishes novel AWARD-WINNING business leader, Nobuntu Webster, has released her novel, Perfect Mess Perfect Grace, which has received raving reviews.

Throughout her career she has been recognised with numerous accolades, including Businesswoman of the Year in the entrepreneur category in Durban in 2010.

As an entrepreneur and speaker, known as a presenter on the business show Think Big on SABC 3, and as a leader in associations such as the Businesswomen’s Association, it would have been easy to assume that Webster would write a business or motivational book.

When asked why she chose to

write a novel, Webster said: “Society has taught us to box ourselves.

“We are more than our titles. I am a storyteller, and that is what I have always done through my marketing and speaking careers.”

As a champion for entrepreneurship and African brands, Webster is emphatic about the need for Africans to not only tell their own stories, but to also own them.

“The Perfect Grace Tour, which we will launch in Durban, will tell stories of Perfect Grace, which we believe will give people hope and restore broken lives and broken dreams,” she said.

Although she is based in Johannesburg, she spends a lot of time in Durban, and still calls it home.

Perfect Mess Perfect Grace is Webster’s first writing project.

“I hope to write for other mediums as well, using story to capture God-inspired messages which stir, encourage and motivate audiences.”

A

CLERMONT designer, S’baby Pearl Zondi (36), recently held a fashion show themed “Unique Sophistication” at the Clermont Hall.

The show featured various categories, for slim, average size and fully figured women.

“The reason I featured mixed categories is because I wanted to show people that I cater for different sizes and I also wanted to show the community that a lot of women are super models whether they have big or small bodies. “The exciting news is that I won the best table at the arts and craft event in Clermont. The judges were impressed by the way my table was presented and I won a trophy and a medal.”

Zondi was born and raised in Clermont and her passion for designing

clothes began as a hobby.

“I matriculated at Mqhele High School, however, at that time I didn't know which career to choose. I got married at 18 and became a housewife. I used to try out new things with fabric because I was bored at home.

“My husband saw my talent and bought me my first sewing machine.”

Her love and passion for design grew so she studied fashion designing in 2005.

“I did a two-year diploma at Lindiwe Khuzwayo Academy of Fashion in 2005, which at that time was called ‘clothing design’.

“While completing my diploma I would design clothes for friends and family. The highlight was when I designed my first wedding gown as part of our assignments and we were given the opportunity to enter fashion design competitions. Fortunately, my gown took first place.

“I then entered fashion shows in events called Shadows in Clermont and Comfort Zone, and then every year I attended the Vodacom Durban July to showcase my designs.”

Zondi registered her business S'babys Couture - in 2015 after seeing her designs becoming popular.

“At the moment I handle everything myself, but when it gets really busy I hire an assistant.”

Zondi is planning on taking her business further by doing catering and interior decoration for parties, weddings and other events.

“My biggest wish is for my clothes to be showcased every year at the Durban Fashion Fair.

“The good thing about my designs is that I cater for all sizes in women's fashion, casual wear for men, and sometimes I do church uniforms.”

In her spare time she like to socialise.

abled children skills.

“We train the children in bead work, baking, gardening and how to make accessories such as necklaces and earrings using recycled items. We also teach them basic house chores, how to keep themselves clean and how to take care of themselves.

“At the moment we have seven staff members who take care of 30 children from the age of two to 21, however, it depends on the child’s behaviour because sometime we let them go at the age of 18.”

The centre is in the Clermont Clinic, premises that makes it easier for stu-

dent nurses to volunteer at the centre by giving the children therapy.

“We are fortunate to have student nurses who help us. They also help with organising workshops and campaigns for our volunteers.”

However, the centre is struggling because it doesn’t have enough resources to teach the children.

“We put the children first before anything. We want them to be better people and give them skills, which they can use when they leave the centre, but we find it difficult to do this because we don’t resources.

“We also don’t have a vehicle to pick up and drop them off and often a child misses school because a parent did not have enough money to pay for transport.

“Most of these children come from poor families and their parents can’t afford R100 for school fees, which means that most are schooled for free.

“We can’t chase away a child because a parent cannot afford school fees, so we keep them at the centre rather than being at home because they learn a lot of skills that stimulates their mind and body,” says Mchunu.

For more information, contact Mchunu on 073 644 2571.

All proceeds go towards supporting Diabetes SA and its work in all communitie sand even if you are not participating, donations are welcome.

The Wellness Expo is free to the public to browse with over 20 exhibitors, many of which will be offering information and sample products relating to diabetes, including free diabetes testing.

An added bonus will be an array of entertainment on offer from participating in the free Zumba Class to Rhythmic Dance School dancers entertaining the expected 3000 strong entrants from the walk. Children under six are free to enter and they too can enjoy the entertainment from jumping castles, Dilly the Clown as well as a beach

hockey demonstration.

“This event can only grow from strength to strength with the support from our sponsors such as Sasa, ABI, Guard Smart, Aquelle, Fit Healthcare, Tony Miller Promotions, Netcare 911, Pure Studio and the KZN Health De-

partment,” Russell says.

AVING a mental disability does not mean a person does not have skills,” says Ntombi Mchunu, a caregiver at Siyabathanda Day Care Centre in Clermont.

The centre was established in 1998 after a group of concerned mothers,

who had children with disabilities, saw a need for a centre for the disabled.

“These mothers volunteered and made an effort to teach the children skills while taking care of them.

“They officially registered the centre in 2005 as a non-profit-organisation,” said Mchunu.

Walk for diabetes awareness KEEP your eyes on diabetes, but put your best foot forward at the fifth annual 2016 Diabetes SA Global Walk and Wellness Expo on Sunday, 13 November.

Designed to raise awareness about diabetes in KZN, this two-hour event begins at 8am at the Durban Beachfront, Amphitheatre-Bay of Plenty on the Lower Marine Parade as well as ending there.

Those who are either participating or just watching the five-kilometre fun walk are also invited to enjoy the Wellness Expo, which will not only provide sound advice on how to maintain a healthy lifestyle, but also offer free glucose and blood pressure testing.

“Diabetes is the second highest cause of death in the eThekwini Municipality, yet this serious condition still remains in the shadow of HIV/ Aids and cancer,” says Jenny Russell, branch manager for Diabetes SA Durban, a non-profit organisation that provides support and wellness education for diabetics and communities.

When you have diabetes, your body is either unable to make enough insulin, or it is unable to correctly use the insulin it does make.

As a result, the glucose in your bloodstream cannot move into your cells to be used as energy and thus creates a build-up, resulting in high glucose levels.

Damage caused by elevated blood glucose levels is irreversible. Diabetes has been linked to cardiovascular disease, stroke, eye disease, kidney disease, nerve damage, lower limb amputations (worldwide, a lower limb is amputated every 30 seconds), sexual dysfunction as well as high blood pressure and high cholesterol.

According to the International Diabetes Federation and the World Health Organisation, a person dies from diabetes complications every six seconds.

There are currently 415 million people worldwide with diabetes, as opposed to 14 million with cancer and 35 million who are HIV positive. Every eight seconds, two people develop diabetes and the International Diabetes Federation estimates that there will be 592 million people with diabetes by 2035.

Russell points out that up to 80% of Type 2 diabetes is preventable by adopting a healthy diet and increasing physical activity. This used to be the

ambit of the “unfit, fat and over 40” group, but is now becoming more common in young adults and children.

Worldwide, 200 children are becoming diabetic every day. However, the fastest growing group of Type 2’s is the 35-50 age group – the breadwinners of the family,” she adds.

Russell warns that the largest increase in diabetes in Durban is seen in low and middle income groups. This is mainly due to rising rates of urbanisation with associated increased levels of obesity, physical inactivity and unhealthy diet.

However, at least 50% of all people with diabetes are unaware of their condition – which makes it doubly important for everyone to be tested on the day of the Diabetes Walk.

Pre-enter for the diabetes walk by either collecting registration forms from Diabetes SA Durban - Office 204 Wheeler House, 112 Mathews Meyiwa Rd (Stamford Hill Road), Durban or head to uShaka Marine World Village Walk to arena 3 on Saturday, 5 November or on Sunday, 6 November between 12pm and 3pm.

The five-kilometre walk is open to all and costs just R60 per person. Participants are even encouraged to bring their pet pooch along (on a leash).

HE hairiest month of the year is here. It’s time for Mo Bros and Mo Sistas to join the biggest movement for men’s health of our time Movember.

For the past 13 years, across 21 countries, Movember has become a global effort to raise funds and awareness around the often ignored issue of men’s health. Help change the face of men’s health. Sign up, Grow a Mo, save a Bro. Calling all men to start 1 Movember clean shaven, and then to grow and groom a moustache (or Mo) for the entire month.

Local Durban celebrities and Movember ambassadors joined the two shave-off events on 1 November.

Lotus FM’s Neville Pillay and Ryan Naicker were at Nev The Barber in Durban North for the 10am shave-off.

The duo are gearing up for outside broadcast events throughout the month when they will be challenging and mo(tivating) their male listeners to help support Movember and raise money.

For Pillay, Movember is personal.

“As I enter my 40s I've become acutely aware of the challenges faced by older men especially and one of those is embarrassment. Men feel embarrassed to talk about things like testicular cancer or anything relating to male sexual health. I want to show them it's perfectly natural to be aware of and talk about cancer and go for check-ups.”

Also at the morning event was Mo Sista Jane Bailey-Smith from the band Veranda Panda, magician Mo Magic and local surfing and lifesaving legend, Brandon Ribbink. Ribbink lost his mother to skin cancer, and has first-hand experience about the difference that awareness and prevention can make.

Celebs ‘come clean’ for start of Movember >>Women can sign up as Mo Sistas, in support of their fathers, brothers or sons.

“This [skin cancer] was preventable,” he said.

As a man, who is constantly in the water and in the sun Ribbink said he is acutely aware about his health.

“But we could all be more aware. I think any medical condition is a worry - our health is one of our biggest blessings and no amount of money can buy this when it’s gone.”

The second shave-off took place in Hillcrest at Gerald Wells’ Barber Shop at 1pm.

Movember ambassadors’ included Olympic gold medalist Chad le Clos and his dad Bert, as well as East Coast Radio’s breakfast show PHOTO: presenter Darren Maule, and SUPPLIED SA Rugby Legend AJ Venter.

Detecting health issues early is the key to treating the problem. Knowing your family history is equally important. Annual health checks are vital in identifying potential health risks. If the thought of growing a Mo is overwhelming, or if it attracts too much attention, sign up to the Move challenge which encourages everyone to get physically active during Movember.

What makes the Move challenge unique is that it’s whatever you make

of it. No pressure! Run a race. Learn to rock climb. Try something new. Be at your own personal best and raise funds for men’s health while you’re doing it. Just keep moving for the month of Movember. Movember ambassador and professional surfer Brandon Ribbink is going to move this Movember as he will be competing in the International Surfing Association World Stand Up Paddle and Paddleboard Championship in Fiji. Ribbink said it was amazing to raise awareness while doing something he loves.

“I am grateful to be competing in the upcoming world champs. This carries quite a lot of prestige and respect, however, many are competing for their wellness on a daily basis without any recognition or reward - these are the truly remarkable efforts of many unsung heroes.”

ISTRICT Nine Libraries held community upliftment events during October and November.

The recent event was held at the Qashana Khuzwayo Library in Clermont where the community was given the opportunity to showcase indigenous arts and crafts.

At the event the winners of the Clermont Library Bookworm Club and the Make the Awards were announced. Entertainment was provided by several schools - Abantwana Benkosi and Sithengile, a group called Born to be Stars and Hlulitheku.

District Nine Libraries spokesperson, Angela Hounsell said: “The objective behind this event was to highlight the place of indigenous arts and crafts as a profitable income- generating option and to promote existing local entrepreneurs. The crafts on show were home décor, fine art, ladies fashion, jewellery and accessories. Exhibitors addressed attendees on their respective crafts and displayed their work.

“The Bookworm Club features prominently on the library calendar,

and aims at encouraging literacy and reading among young readers. Records are kept of all books read by Bookworm Club members during the year and those having made the most progress are recognised. Entertainment comprised dance, drama and poetry, all beautifully executed, and showed much talent.”

ST Benedict School hosted their annual art exhibition recently which showcased the works of both primary and high school pupils.

Parents and friends were invited to view the art which was displayed in classrooms and corridors around the primary School.

AN avid reader Mpendulo Dlamini who is a Grade 6 pupil at John Wesley School won the reading prize at the Annual Prize Giving Ceremony at the end of 2015.

John Wesley spokesperson Lilian Corden-Lloyd said: “Mpendulo developed a love for reading at a very young age and he and his two younger sib-

lings are encouraged to read as much as possible.

“In fact the Dlamini family hardly ever watch television at home as they choose to read books instead. Mpendulo added that books allow him to dream, they take him to places unseen and have improved his language and spelling skills. Mpendulo’s family recently donated a dozen books to the John Wesley School Library.”

MOTORING The Mercedes­Benz E­Class.

Most powerful E­Class of all time >> Mercedes­AMG is redefining the performance sedan

T

HE brand is turning the most intelligent executive sedan into the most powerful E-Class of all time in the shape of the next generation of the E 63 4MATIC+ and E 63 S 4MATIC+.

Mercedes-AMG is also setting new benchmarks in this market segment with its innovative technologies. The intelligent drive strategy raises the limits of the performance sedan’s vehicle dynamics to a completely new level. Delivering superior acceleration, the 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine generates up to 450 kW. This makes it the most powerful engine to have ever been installed in an E-Class. At the same time it is even more efficient thanks to a cylinder deactivation system fitted as standard, and thus sets the benchmark in its segment. With acceleration of 3.4 seconds from 0-100 km/h the new business limousine is at the top of its class.

The AMG speed shift MCT (multiclutch technology) nine-speed sports transmission is combined with a wet start-off clutch for the first time. This enabled more agile response times to be achieved. Another highlight is the new AMG Performance 4Matic+ allwheel drive system.

It combines the advantages of various drive configurations. Torque distribution on the front and rear axles, which until now was strongly rear-biased, is fully variable for the first time.

This ensures optimum traction right up to the physical limit, whatever the road conditions.

The expressive exterior design, featuring a new radiator grille and coupé-style inset bonnet, underlines the performance figures. The next

generation of the E 63 thus offers a completely new level of sportiness and comfort on long journeys.

The latest generation of the E 63 4Matic+ and the E 63 S 4Matic+ sees Mercedes-AMG introducing a number of new developments that redefine the performance sedan. Innovative powertrain engineering and maximum performance are combined with distinctive design, exclusive equipment and the latest infotainment features for comprehensive, connected multimedia applications.

“The new E 63 models represent the biggest step forward we’ve ever taken from one generation to the next.

Vehicle dynamics were especially important to us.

At the start of the development process, we opted for a fully variable all-wheel drive system which, when combined with the advanced performance of the 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine, reaffirms our brand’s ‘Driving performance”’ claim,” says Tobias Moers, chairman of the board of management of Mercedes-AMG GmbH. Every detail of the exterior and interior is designed to enable AMG Driving Performance to be experienced at first hand. The expressive exterior design is all about sinuous edges and defined muscles.

With a completely distinctive design forward of the A-pillar, the sporty front also demonstrates the effort that Mercedes-AMG has put into the styling: for the first time on an AMG sedan, the bonnet is inset between the wings and bumper like on a coupé, thus exhibiting an entirely new, more dynamic approach to the sculpting.

The versatile AMG 4.0-litre twinturbo V8 engine in the E 63 S 4Matic+ takes peak performance to a new level at 450 kW. Maximum torque attains a new best value of 850 Nm. It is available over a broad engine

bezel with the AMG logo.

The driver and front passenger enjoy a secure position in the front sport seats even when driving at speed, thanks to the improved lateral support. There is a distinctive seat upholstery layout in black nappa leatherDinamica microfibre, nut brown nappa leather or macchiato nappa leather.

The door centre panels match the seat design. AMG Performance seats with integral head restraints can be ordered as an option. Trapezium-grain aluminium trim elements highlight the sporty aspirations.

In the E 63 S 4Matic+ the interior has been refined further. Highlights

include a nappa leather covering for the instrument panel and beltlines, the sports steering wheel with crystal grey 12 o’clock marking and contrasting topstitching, AMG crest in the front head restraints, crystal grey seat piping, IWC-designed analogue clock and seat belts in crystal grey.

The new performance sedan celebrates its world première as Edition 1 on 16 November as part of the Los Angeles Auto Show. The sales release follows on 16 January 2017, with market launch beginning in March 2017. The Mercedes-AMG E 63 S is due shortly after in South Africa in the second quarter of 2017.

The new E 63 models represent the biggest step forward we’ve ever taken from one generation to the next. Vehicle dynamics were especially important to us.

The Mercedes­AMG E 63 S is due shortly after in South Africa in the second quarter of 2017

speed range of 2500 to 4500 rpm and so provides a feeling of effortless superiority in every accelerator pedal position. A sprint from zero to 100 km/h is absolved in 3.4 seconds, and this dynamic acceleration only ends at the governed top speed of 250 km/h (with AMG Driver’s package: 300 km/h).

The E 63 4Matic+ is rated at 420 kW and has 750 Nm of torque. This variant accelerates to 100 km/h in 3.5 seconds.

The advanced AMG 4.0-litre V8 biturbo engine utilises well-proven twin turbocharging, with the two chargers not located outside on the cylinder banks, but rather between them in the V of the cylinders. The advantages of the “hot inner V” are a compact engine design, an immediate response from the twin-scroll turbochargers and low exhaust gas emissions thanks to optimum air VISIT OUR BRANCHES flow for the 21 OLD MAIN ROAD, PINETOWN * TEL: 031 701 7303 close-coupled 4A BLAIR ATHOL ROAD, NEW GERMANY catalytic conTEL: 031 705 4214/5 * CELL: 083 377 8349 verters.
