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.

Historic scout group serves the community >> Scouting is all about adventure and discipline

ORMED in 1913 in the small village of Pinetown with some 23 boys and the Scoutmaster Mr G.H. Mathieson, 1st Pinetown Scout Group has served the community for many years and has a proud association within the Pinetown area. According to 1st Pinetown Scout Group spokesperson, Robin Ezra, the 1st Pinetown Scout Group programme has grown many youngsters into capable and responsible citizens. Scouts and cubs are more relevant now than ever because in an age when parents are wary about letting their children out on their own and young people spend hours in front of the TV, on computer games or online, scouts and cubs offer an alternative. “At 1st Pinetown Scout Group we do some pretty amazing things in the scouts and cubs, but for us adventure
is a way of life, not just an expedition or an activity. “Our scouts and cubs grow in confidence by trying out skills and achieving goals they never thought possible. When a cub competes in a raft race on a raft that he or she has helped to design and construct or a young scout has just got over his or her fear of heights by completing their first abseil - that's adventure. “Our programmes are designed to develop life and social skills and to build character. At 1st Pinetown Scouts you will find a team of dedicated, motivated and friendly leaders. Our Girl Scout Troop has grown over the years with more girls enjoying scouting, the outdoors and the challenges it brings. “The troop is currently run by Melanie Jacobsen, a former 1st Pinetown Scout, supported by two parents. The goal is to grow our troop with additional girls and our goal is to work on their advancements towards first class and explore level.” She said the Boy Scout Troop has a lot of the senior boys working towards the first class and explore achievement levels “Our Cub Pack is doing extremely well with numbers in the pack at an all time high due to our great pack scouter and pack assistants. Our New Packer Scouter Brenda Timmer has brought a lot of experience from when she was in Johannesburg.” For more information, phone 082 570 7767. - Supplied.

poor conditions. We feed about 126 children and help more than 1 000 people, including children and adults. “Our focus is to feed the children because many go to sleep without supper. We decided the children must come to our office after school so that we can give them something to eat before helping them with their homework. Some of the children have their last meal at our office before leaving for home. “We have some children who didn’t have birth certificates or a social grant so we work with the relevant government departments for them to be admitted to school while they get grant money for survival.” Most of the children are HIV-positive so the organisation’s support groups teach them about the disease. “We have volunteers who tell them about the disease and why they are on ARV treatment. Some of them didn’t know they had the disease because their families are too scared to tell them. Senior citizens in our community live with their grandchildren, who are drug addicts. They steal from them to satisfy their desires while others end up raping them and we provide food and counselling for the rape victims.”

NHLANHLENI Isibani Sezwe in KwaDabeka recently held a Heritage Day event at their premises last week. Enhlanhleni’s founder, Pastor Alfred Ntshangase, said this event did not only focus on heritage, it also addressed community issues in KwaDabeka. “The event was a great success. We invited about 300 guests, including organisations in Clermont and KwaDabeka, SAPS and clinics. We decided to combine this event with a drug awareness campaign because we are facing a major issue in the community with youngsters getting involved in drugs and alcohol. “We see the youth living without a purpose and we try our best, as an organisation, to combat this issue. We also invited Zipho Mkhize as our guest speaker who has an organisation called Katsi Youth in Action that helps youths who are involved in drugs. “The day was filled with fun, Zulu dancing by our members and hot treats. We also gave away two wheelchairs to our disabled clients, who

HE Amakhosi Athletics Club, in partnership with the Department of Sports and Recreation, recently hosted a fun run themed “Imnandi Lento 2016 Challenge” at KK sports grounds in KwaDabeka. Club founder Sphiwe Mjwara said the event was supported by the community and other organisations. “I have been preparing for this event for a long time and the turnout was amazing. The event saw ladies from the KwaDabeka Fitness Gym supporting the run. “The purpose of this event is to keep children off the street while encouraging them to get involved in sport,” he said. Five schools were part of this initiative - Khulugqame Primary, Buhlebemfundo, iLanga, Sthokozile and Sthengile Secondary. “Mduduzi Khanyile from Langa Secondary won the 5 km run. The first female to complete the 5km run was Sanelisiwe Ncisana from Buhlebemfundo. Ekujabuleni Netball team went home with a new kit since they were the winners of the day. “Eric Mtshali Secondary took second place and Langa Secondary took third place. “I would like to thank our sponsors which were Build it in Pinetown, Sports and Recreation in Pietermaritzburg and Clermont tuck shop owner Mthoko Mkhize for assisting me in planning this event as well and donating refreshments as well as Mr Malinga whose a
More often than not, feeding babies would be a far easier task if one would just allow it to be. The following are often used as indications that Baby is ready for solid foods. Be cautious and listen to Baby. Baby suddenly demands more bottle or breast feeds · Baby might simply need more milk, so first try to increase the number or length of feeds for at least a week – if still seeming dissatisfied, it might be time to introduce solids, unless there is another rational explanation, like teething or stress in the family. Everyone says baby is old enough · Most babies don’t need solids before six months, although there are exceptions – both younger and older. Milk is food, don’t forget. You must let baby take the lead in this one – it is his tummy, after all. Baby is teething · Teething often precedes interest in solid food, maybe because there is some connection! This notion confirms that there is a whole range of ‘correct’ ages to start feeding babies solids. Baby shows interest in your food · This will seldom happen before baby is ready to eat. Sometimes it’s more about the sensation of squelching food between the fingers, but eating is always more than just physical nutrition, so allow some measure of exploration at mealtimes.

How to introduce solids guide · Offer first foods between milk feeds, when baby is a little hungry but not ravenous and is in a good, inquisitive mood. · Between 10h00 and 14h00 is the most optimal digestive time for first meals. · Offer only 1 to 2 teaspoons or cubes at a time, and wait to see if, over the next day, there are any adverse reactions. · Increase amount slowly, maybe by 1 teaspoon or cube a day every 3 to 5 days, until baby indicates that you should settle at a specific amount. · Introduce new foods one at a time so that you can readily identify problem foods and adverse reactions. · Add a second meal after about 4 to 6 weeks, and a third meal from 6 to 8 weeks later.

USO Danse Studios founder Taren Gaia, recently returned home after competing in the World Dance Masters Championship in Blackpool, England. This competition is hosted by World Dance Masters and is held annually in Winter Gardens Empress Ballroom. “I competed in the intermediate open division against seven participants from England, Scotland, Sweden, Germany, France and South Africa. The competition was tough since a lot of the dancers train in dance academy or dance for a living. “This achievement has been four years in the making. But it was not without hours of physically and mentally training.” For Gaia, winning a world championship title came as a total shock.
Line dancer world champ >> ‘It requires hard work, dedication and passion’ “Even with all the training, reaching my goal has been a journey that seemed impossible at times but things are only impossible until someone does them. “With the training from my coach Alain Rijnvis, I was able to show others that achieving your goals and dreams comes down to three things - dedication, an open mind, and most importantly, to believe in yourself that you are your dreams. “Gone are the days of Achy Breaky Heart, square dancing. Line dance is all about diversity, incorporating styles from many different genres of dance including Latin, hiphop and country.” She said her love for dance is driving her to create new ways of changing the thinking of what line dance is. Some of which will be actioned
in the coming year, with the aim of trying to get younger generation involved. Gaia is a qualified chartered accountant working for Stefanutti Stocks Civils KZN and a UK instructor and choreographer. Fuso Danse Studios caters for social line dance throughout Durban and provides line dance classes for Dance2Dance International. “I encourage people who want to take up dancing as a career that hard work, dedication and passion are the key to becoming a great dancer. But if there’s one thing that I’ve learnt from my trainer it’s that perfection does come from hard work.” For more information, visit www.fusodanse.co.za email taren@fusodanse.co.za or visit her Facebook page, Fuso Danse Studios.

MOTORING >> ystem Support s to make d is designe aily the d commute
Volvo is now semiautonomous T
HE Volvo XC90, which is the reigning WesBank / SAGMJ Car of the Year in South Africa, has been updated for 2017. Pilot Assist, fitted as standard for semi-autonomous driving, and PowerPulse diesel technology, for a lag-free diesel driving experience, are both now available in South Africa. Pilot Assist now standard on all models
In accordance with the forthcoming Volvo S90, the XC90 now features the latest version of Volvo’s Pilot Assist semi-autonomous driving technology as standard on all models. Able to take control of acceleration, braking and steering at speeds up to 130 km/h, the support system is designed to make the daily commute – or indeed a longer journey – more relaxing and enjoyable.
The all-new XC90 pioneered the original Pilot Assist system which could be activated at speeds up to 50 km/h – making the typical South African traffic jam an absolute breeze and allowing the driver to relax behind the wheel while enjoying the Swedish luxury and Scandinavian simplicity of Volvo’s flagship SUV. With the latest upgrade, a lead vehicle is no-longer required, and the
XC90 is able to maintain safe semiautonomous driving provided that lane markings are clearly visible on both sides of the vehicle, at speeds up to 130 km/h. Important to note is that Pilot Assist is an outright support system and has not been designed for the driver to remove their attention from the task of driving. Fully-autonomous Volvos, which will allow for complete hands-off and feet-off autonomous driving, will be available in the future – the first examples of which will be driven by real customers in Gothenburg, Sweden, as part of Volvo’s Drive Me programme, in 2017. The inclusion of Pilot Assist as standard means that all XC90 models now also come standard with Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), which uses radar to manage acceleration and braking in a more conventional manner, without steering control. PowerPulse diesel technology eliminates turbo lag Introduced globally on the forthcoming Volvo S90 and now also available for 2017 in the XC90 D5 AWD is Volvo’s world-first PowerPulse technology. Geared to eliminate the effects of turbo lag, PowerPulse turns the Drive-E D5 diesel engine into a lagfree, smoother powerhouse. Volvo Cars is the only car maker using such
technology in production vehicles. PowerPulse draws air from the air filter via a compressor into a pressurised two-litre tank. When required, the compressed air is fed by a valve into the exhaust manifold to instantly spool up the turbo. The tank automatically refills after each burst, and the compressed air remains on hand at all times to provide extra boost – on pullaway and during low-speed driving. Naturally with such an upgrade, output has been increased and efficiency has been improved. Power has increased to 173 kW at 4 000 rpm (up from 165 kW) and torque is up by 10 Nm to 480 Nm between 1 750 and 2 250 rpm. Efficiency remains exceptional, with average fuel economy on the combined cycle now 5.7-litres per 100 km (down from 5.8) and carbon emissions now even lower, at 149 g/ km (down from 152). “These two new technological additions to the XC90 range will further boost its value and driver enjoyment,” comments Volvo Car South Africa MD, Greg Maruszewski. “Pilot Assist really makes those long highway drives far more enjoyable, especially when you find yourself in a traffic jam. And, with PowerPulse, the XC90 D5 is even better than it was before – a difficult feat to achieve.” Model year 2017 Volvo XC90s are readily available across the Volvo Cars dealer network in South Africa.
Enhancements sharpen new Lexus THE stylish 1.8litre Hybrid powered Lexus CT200h hatch receives an infusion of flair, with the availability of four new distinctive bitone (twotone) colour schemes. Using the perfectly proportioned lines of the luxu ry hatchback as a base, the bitone colour scheme adds a dash of visual drama. The bitone scheme is created by com bining high gloss black treatment on the roof and pillars, with a choice of four stylish ‘body colours’ adorning the metal below the ‘waistline’. Customers can choose be tween White Quartz, Sonic Titanium, Mer cury Grey and Morello Red to create a look that matches their personality. Monotone traditionalists are also ca tered for, with the addition of the striking hue aptly named Amber, radiating rich bronze tones, which replaces the previously offered earthy Fire Agate.

Audiophiles will appreciate the newly added digital media holder housed in the centre console, which provides secure stor age for portable music devices and easy in terface via the builtin USB, AUX and Blue tooth systems. Following the launch of the fourthgen eration RX SUV earlier this year, the top of the range RX450h SE’s luxury credentials are further bolstered. The specification changes mainly centre on enhanced conve nience. Rear seat passengers will appreciate the addition of electric adjustment for the 2nd row seats, whilst the inclusion of seat heat ers, now ensures that all occupants are kept warm and toasty. Not to be excluded, the driver now has a Panoramic View Monitor at their disposal (which replaces the previous reverse cam
era), offering a wider field of vision, improv ing visibility and enhancing convenience. The Lexus LX has established itself as a formidable Luxury SUV, with demand of ten exceeding supply. Befitting its status, the Lexus SUV flagship inherits a number of safety and technological upgrades. At the forefront of the upgrades, is the addition of a PreCrash electronic safety system. This system scans the road ahead, constantly monitoring vehicle distance and warning the driver of potential obstacles impeding vehicle approach. The system is also capable of taking corrective action, in creasing brake pressure, closing windows and adjusting vehicle dynamics to prevent a collision. Integrated into the PreCrash system is Adaptive Cruise Control, which allows the vehicle to maintain a safe following dis

tance – adjusting speed autonomously – to provide peaceofmind cruising. Further convenience is provided by the Lane Keep Assist and new Adaptive High beam System (AHS). AHS automatically alters the field of light provided by the LED headlamps, to shield oncoming vehicles from the highbeam illumination without deactivating the highbeam function. To complement the advanced AHS sys
tem, sequential turn signal illumination is included, creating a sophisticated visual ef fect. The Lexus LX is available in two models, the petrol powered LX570 which features a silky smooth 5.7litre V8 (serving up 270 kW and 530 Nm), and turbodiesel powered LX450d which delivers an effortless driving experience with 195 KW and 650 Nm of tractive effort.
