A number of reasons to celebrate
This week ONLINE
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. 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

OR Zanele Mvune (35), a resident of Bhekulwandle in the Amanzimtoti area, being a project co-ordinator may be one of the stressful jobs one can have, but for St Clements Home Based Care Project acting co-ordinator Mvune, it is a job she enjoys. Mvune grew up in Umlazi south of Durban and reminisces about her childhood. “I have many vivid memories of my childhood. I remember a lot of my daily routine. I used to attend school in Umlazi M section where I had to walk from one section to another. “It was a good experience even though there were challenges because we had to cross the river, but I was unable to because of my height, so every day I had to take 10 cents from my savings and give it to someone to help me cross the river. “Then I attended Grade 5 at Ulundi Gabangaye Primary School for a year. From there I went to Our Lady of Rosary Secondary School [formerly Montebello High School], where I matriculat-

were strong and motivated ladies, we did not experience dull moments. “Since childhood I have been a natu-
ral peacemaker, good at helping others and I am confident, intuitive and strive for perfection.” After completing matric she studied hospitality management at Durban University of Technology as well getting a diploma in office administration at Rosebank College and a diploma in project management at Unischool. She said being a co-ordinator requires quick and creative thinking. “Working as an acting project co-ordinator typically is about producing feasibility studies for project ideas, the progress thereof, sub-targets and tasks, goals and milestones, and so on. “Personnel planning means distributing responsibilities between the assigned employees in the most effective way. The extensiveness of my field of work is characterised by uncertainty and surprise. This requires quick and creative thinking, flexibility, tolerance, adaptability and formidable multitasking skills

KAMVAYOUTH is a non-profit organisation that enables disadvantaged youth to pull themselves and each other out of poverty through education. IkamvaYouth Branch co-ordinator Thandazo Mkhize said the NGO was established in 2003, and works in township communities in five provinces and boasts an impressive track record. “The matric pass rate has consistently been above 80% over the past five years. Seventy-six percent of pupils achieved eligibility for tertiary study 31% diploma passes and 45% bachelor passes. Overall, 91% have accessed post-school opportunities - 59% into tertiary, 15% into learnerships or jobs, and six percent upgrading key subjects. “IkamvaYouth is therefore growing in order to reach this number of pupils and currently operates in five provinces in South Africa, including KwaZulu-Natal where we have been operating since 2011, and currently have two branches in Umlazi AA Library and Chesterville Vuyani Nkosi Youth Centre. “Umlazi AA branch offers its programme to 120 pupils from Mzwamandla, KwaMathanda, Okumhlophe, Sishosonke and Umbelebele high schools. The Chesterville branch has 150 pupils enrolled from Chesterville,

Bonella, and UMkhumbane Secondary Schools.” The IkamvaYouth model involves after-school supplementary tutoring, career guidance mentoring, e-learning activities and extra-curricular enrichment opportunities. “The branches draw from a large
and growing pool of volunteers made up of students from nearby universities and local professionals. The organisation's sustainability is driven by ex-pupils who return to pay forward the help they received, by becoming volunteer tutors and mentors themselves.
“Please refer to Appendix 3, which illustrates the model, its underpinning values, and the ways in which the activities contribute towards achieving the mission of enabling youth to pull themselves and each other out of poverty and into tertiary education and employment.”

She explained the strategies they use to facilitate pupils, which are the tutoring approach that involves a method of teaching where pupils bring their homework or work they struggling with to tutoring sessions where they engage in small group peer-topeer learning facilitated by volunteer tutors. In this way, the tutoring augments and supports the content covered by teachers in the classrooms, and pupils are provided with support to tackle the gaps in their knowledge or understanding. “The career guidance mentoring involves one on one mentoring for Grade 12 pupils whereby they are assisted with their applications to postschool opportunities. IkamvaYouth also contributes towards their application and registration fees. Each branch has a computer lab and pupils participate in programmes to ensure they are computer literate and can benefit from e-learning platforms and programmes.” “Winter schools are held at the Durban University of Technology in addition to tutoring, career guidance and ed-tech activities pupils engage in extra-curricular and life skills workshops, excursions and sports days. “These activities help pupils stay healthy and boost their confidence in terms of socialising, showcasing their talents and get to understand their peers from their communities.” The programmes are free, but in order to keep their place on the programme pupils are required to meet a minimum attendance requirement of 75%.

A letter from the mayor to residents Dear eThekwini residents, I AM writing to you to share my concerns about the low levels of environmental management in our City and encourage all of us to work harder at fighting against pollution and environmental degradation. Even though our municipality is a global leader in aspects of environmental management, the quality of our natural environment continues to decline in the face of multiple threats like urbanisation and urban sprawl, pollution, invasive alien species, unsustainable harvesting of natural resources and climate change. Litter and illegal dumping is a cause for major concern. It seems as though the state of litter and pollution in residential areas and the Central Business District has increased. Pollution caused by the inappropriate disposal of waste can also cause health problems. Globally there is a growing aware-
ness of the foundational importance of the natural environment in reducing risk, enhancing resilience and ensuring sustainable communities in urban areas. So much of the waste we see being washed up on the shore along our coastline, is plastic that can be recycled. I appeal to you to ensure that in your household, you reduce your waste, reuse what you can and recycle what you don’t need. Every little bit that you do contributes to saving our environment. The litter that was found washed up on the City’s beaches after the recent floods, does not only affect marine life but the litter along our beaches and waterways destroy the beauty and enjoyment of those areas. This negatively affects tourism and the economic benefits associated with it. Durban has 17 rivers and estuaries in the metropolitan area. These rivers and estuaries have sensitive ecosys-

tems that need to be protected and conserved as they provide essential environmental goods and services, especially to rural and vulnerable communities. However, we see an increasing amount of litter that destroys these sensitive ecosystems and causes irreversible damage to the environment. While the City makes every effort to keep our coastline clean, there is no amount of cleaning and policing that can deal with litter if we, as residents, do not change our behaviour on waste management.
EDITOR: Valene Govender valene.govender@media24.com REPORTER: Nosipho Mkhize nosipho.mkhize@media24.com SALES MANAGER: Justin Watson Justin.watson@media24.com SALES REP: Shawn Ramchabi 079 671 7217 shawn.rambchabi@media24.com
Our coastline is one of the key drivers of tourism to our City and its pristine condition needs to be protected. Our coast is also an ideal venue for much needed rest and relaxation for you, our residents. We are fortunate to live along such a beautiful coastline which provides many leisure facilities. Living on the coastline is truly amazing. The City provides a weekly refuse removal service to 945 000 households in formal and informal areas. We even distribute and collect recyclable material from households with the orange bag system that we have implemented to encourage home owners to recycle. There are numerous recycling centres throughout the metro as well, and at shopping centres. There really is no reason for so much recyclable waste to end up in our water courses. The City recently implemented nine new by-laws that are aimed at dealing with various offences. Among these by-laws is the Nuisances and Behaviour in Public Places Bylaw under which littering is prohibited. Enforcement is already underway and police have begun taking a tough stance against offenders. Already in the past few months Metro Police have written summonses and issued fines to those who contravene the by-laws. We believe in having thriving communities, and a clean environment is

so important in ensuring that we are healthy. Please join us in our quest to have a clean city which we can all enjoy. I am calling on all residents to stop littering, recycle and re-use what you can. I call on residents to join hands with the City and help us deal with the problem of litter and pollution at the source. To do this, it is crucial that we change the mind-sets of our people and take decisive action against those who break the law. The Municipality is committed to maintaining a clean environment by utilising all its resources to make it a success. But we cannot do it alone, we need you, our valued residents to be the watchdogs in your communities and help us create a clean City we can all be proud to live in. In our effort to maintain a clean and sustainable City, we urge residents to continue reporting illegal dumping to 031 311 8804 or 031 311 3336 and be responsible by taking care of the environment.

AREWAYS, a non-profit organisation that reaches out to intellectually impaired adults, was established in 1997 in response to the enormous need for services for intellectually impaired people. According to board member Jackie Scullard, the board comprises family members and concerned people and oversees and administers workshops in Kloof and Kwandengezi, run entirely by staff and volunteers. “Careways is, as the name suggests, a caring organisation that reaches out to intellectually impaired adults with the goal of providing care for those involved in a balanced programme of activities, and to provide a service to families and care givers of people who are intellectually impaired. “These objectives are pursued within an environment underpinned by Christian faith and values. The Kloof workshop focuses on the intimacy and individual attention afforded by small group interaction. “Managers run a balanced programme that includes academics, crafts, physical exercise, music and dance, social and life skills, cookery, outings and fun. “Salaries and running costs are met by reasonable fees and by fund-raising efforts. In addition, handcrafts made at the workshop are sold at the market at the end of each year. The workshop is accommodated in a purpose-built room at the Kloof Methodist Church and is open daily. “The centre is run by committed and

WHILE the rest of the country cheered on athletes who ran the Comrades Marathon on 29 May, residents from Kloof, Hillcrest, Pinetown, Westville and surrounding areas had another reason to celebrate. Selfast have moved from Pine Crest Centre to 28 Hill Street with ‘crazy’ specials on all goods in-store. Best known for their massive and awesome range of ladies footwear, customers were even more surprised when ladies and men’s clothing boasting the latest fashion trends were on sale at unbelievable prices. Their huge range of ladies underwear was certainly a hit. On opening day bargain hunters queued from as early as 7am well before the store opened at 9am. Some of the memorable quotes
from customers were: “Where have you been, we’re tremendously impressed by your range of men and ladies clothing and footwear”, and they continued “but best of all is when you see the clothing or footwear items, it’s amazing how low your prices really are”. What really impressed Selfast management was the turnout expectation was not high given the current recession we are in, but they were pleasantly surprised by the fantastic turnout for the grand opening sale. Selfast caters for casual, work and weekend wear for both sexes. Visit them at shop 101, Pine Hill Mall, 28 Hill Street, Pinetown (or phone 031 701 2855) for a pleasurable shopping experience that’s not heavy on the pocket. Watch press for more fantastic specials.

novations, makes the E-Class the most intelligent sedan in the executive class. The new E-Class is sophisticated, confidently stylish and dynamic. Compared with its predecessor, its wheelbase length has grown by 65 millimetres (2939/2874), its overall length by 43 millimetres (4923/4880). The resulting increase in space is to the benefit of all passengers. The design of the new E-Classis characterised by hallmark Mercedes sedan proportions. The elongated bonnet coupled with a coupé-esque roof flowing into a sensual, broadshouldered tail end creates an exciting silhouette. The new E-Class clearly shows a muscular front end that boasts a different look for each design and equipment line. The base version features the classic MercedesBenz radiator grille with the star on the bonnet, as does the EXCLUSIVE line – albeit in an even more elaborate fashion. The AVANTGARDE and AMG Line models are
identifiable by the sports radiator grille with a large Mercedes-Benz star as its centrepiece. Each of the radiator grille designs lends the E-Class a distinct character – elegant and with an emphasis on status or dynamically elegant – offering a unique degree of diversity that makes each different model stand out. The interior of the new E-Class embodies the synthesis of emotion and intelligence. As the instrument cluster, this wide-screen cockpit contains a large display with virtual instruments in the direct field of vision of the driver as well as a central display above the centre console. The driver can choose between three different styles to select their preferred look for the wide-screen instrument cluster: “Classic”, “Sport” and “Progressive”. As the entire cockpit is fully digital, the driver is free to configure the information and views of relevance for them and thus create their own personal cockpit. In a first for a car, the steering wheel features touch-sensitive Touch Controls. Like a smartphone interface, they respond precisely to horizontal and vertical swiping movements, allowing the driver to control the entire infotainment system using finger swipes without having to take their hands off

the steering wheel. In keeping with the motto “hands on the wheel, eyes on the road“, this allows minimum driver distraction to be achieved. All engines for the new E-Class are equipped with the ECO start/stop function. The petrol engines meet the requirements of the EU 6 emissions standard, while the new OM 654 fourcylinder diesel engine is already configured with future RDE limits in mind. The new four-cylinder diesel unit marks the birth of a new MercedesBenz engine family and opens-up new dimensions in efficiency. What’s more, it is shorter and more compact than its predecessor thanks to reduced cylinder spacing (90 mm instead of 94 mm). Despite having a lower displacement than its predecessor, reduced to just under two litres, the new diesel powerplant has an output of 143 kW and, when installed in the E 220 d, delivers an NEDC combined consumption from 3.9 litres per 100 kilometres, which equates to CO2 emissions from 112 grams per kilometre – a figure that until now only significantly smaller vehicles have been able to deliver. Furthermore, the four-cylinder engine with single-stage turbocharging and variable turbine geometry is exceptionally refined. Both the cylinder head and the crankcase are made of aluminium. An all-new infotainment generation is making its debut in the E-Class equipped with COMAND Online. Its highlights, alongside the double display, include the touch-sensitive Touch Controls on the steering wheel and the new, intelligent graphic design of the Multifunction Telephony. The new E-Class is available from R707100 (E 200). The E 220 d is available at R759 100 and the E 350 d R946 300. All three models are available in showrooms as of June 2016. - Supplied
