Sheppie business robbed of equipment 2

>> It took three perpetrators five minutes for R100 000 of equipment to be stolen from Nashua CANDYCE KRISHNA >>candyce.krishna@media24.com

LL it took was three perpetrators and five minutes for approximately R100 000 worth of equipment to be stolen from Nashua in Port Shepstone on Sunday morning.

Managing director, Clive McLain, said operating equipment was taken during the break-in. “We’ve had to make a plan and bring in some equipment in order for business to run as usual. Fortunately, we didn’t lose any data as we have a back-up,” he said.

Two accidents on Monday MONDAY morning began with two collisions in the Port Shepstone area, which occurred within a few minutes of each other. The collisions happened between

The incident took place at 5.30am. An alert security guard noticed the men entering the premises and became suspicious as it seemed they were casing the place. “He contacted the police and told them something was amiss, but the police didn’t respond.

“He then heard the alarm go off so he called police again and told them there was a break-in in progress. They still didn’t respond,” said McLain. The alarm security company took about 10 minutes to arrive. According to the CCTV camera footage the alarm was triggered as soon as

the men entered the business and remained blaring for the duration of the break-in. “Before they left, one of the men got onto a table and ripped the siren off the wall and fled. “We arrived at the business and called the police twice. “They responded two and a half hours later.” McLain said the security guard must be commended for being alert and contacting the police. “He did the right thing and his efforts are appreciated.” Police spokesperson LieutenantColonel Zandra Wiid said the burglars allegedly got away with the loot in a motor vehicle. “Investigations are continuing. A business break-in case was opened,” she said.

Divers swim to shore after boat failure

7am and 7.30am. "Fortunately no serious injuries were reported from either of the scenes," said Belinda Catchpole of Kwazulu Private Ambulance. - Supplied.

NSRI Shelly Beach received a report from fishermen about two scuba divers swimming towards shore on Thursday. They looked out of place not accompanied by a dive boat, about half a mile off-shore of Orange Rocks, and fishermen raised the alarm. NSRI Shelly Beach responded and on arrival the divers - Brent Vinnicombe (39) from Cape Town, and Michael Whitcombe (26) from Margate - were already ashore and safe. They were assessed by Hibiscus

Medivac paramedics, but were found uninjured and required no further assistance. They reported they had surfaced from a dive at Deep Salmon Reef (about a nautical mile off-shore of Shelly Beach) to find their support boat about 100 metres away from them after they had dived and surfaced only a few minutes later. “Their motor boat had experienced trouble and the divers realised they could swim towards the shoreline,” said NSRI spokesperson, Craig Lambinon. It took about 90 minutes to get to

shore and they timed the sets to get out of the water onto rocks where fishermen were on hand to help them. NSRI alerted Shelly Beach boat tower control and they called the support boat by radio and the skipper reported that the boat had suffered one motor failure, battery power failure, and she was having difficulty starting the second motor. The skipper also reported she had subsequently lost sight of the divers’ buoy. - Supplied.

The Citi Golf involved in a crash on Monday.

Protestors arrested and charged CANDYCE KRISHNA >>candyce.krishna@media24.com A TOTAL of 22 people were arrested following a political riot near Port Edward on Monday morning.

All were charged with public violence and appeared in Ramsgate Court the same afternoon. Three of the protestors face an additional charge of arson. “Some were released on bail,” said police spokesperson Captain Gerald Mfeka. Angry protestors from Latshoda and Tongazi between Munster and Leisure Bay, barricaded the roads with rocks and burning tyres at 3am. Demonstrators also stoned vehicles as motorists drove by.

A 63-YEAR-OLD man from Amandawe near Scottburgh was given life imprisonment in the Scottburgh Regional court last week for the rape of his seven-year-old daughter. The incident came to light when the complainant’s aunt noticed that the child was sitting awkwardly at the supper table. The aunt questioned the girl about why she was sitting in that way but she responded saying “it was noth-

It is alleged that protestors were acting out after the ANC elected a new councillor to stand in the upcoming local government elections. Their main concern is that Noloyiso Gwegwana is not from the area. “Police were called out to attend to the scene and arrested several people. The riots stopped and the road was opened to the public. Police remained in the area for the day to monitor the situation,” said Mfeka. Mwandile Makhwanazi, regional chair for the ANC, said the incident

She did not live with him but said she was raped almost every time she stayed over at his house.

We then hold a meeting between the ward and these four candidates which allows the community to engage with them.

Makhwanazi said the ANC is the only political party that conducts such a process where the community choos-

es who they would like to represent them. “This meeting was disrupted last week because the people of Ward 1 didn’t want to talk about their concerns. Monday’s incident was uncalled for as ward one was given a chance to voice their concerns in a proper forum but they chose to get violent and harm innocent people,” he said. Makhwanazi added that the meeting will still take place soon and that the ANC was looking at options to make it happen.

munities and the country for such a long time. “Well done to all of you who have reached this milestone. “We appreciate the time you have sacrificed from your families.” She paid tribute to fallen heroes and urged members not to get involved in corruption.

“It’s so sad when you see that some members have not received medals because they engaged in corruption.” “You may get away with it the first few times, but eventually you get caught, so don’t engage in corruption.”

She also thanked all units within the cluster for always working together.

eBook educates about Zulu as a language

Ayanda Chiya's ‘IsiZulu is Easy’ as shown on Bidorbuy

PRECIOUS GUMEDE >>precious.gumede@media24.com AYANDA Thulisani Chiya originally from Umzumbe, urges people to buy his elec tronic book, IsiZulu is Easy, which speaks about Zulu as a language. Chiya said the book has five chapters that deals with social communication, spiritual communication, romantic communication, domestic communica tion and corporate communication, and is for those who want to know about the language. He wrote the book with the vision of raising funds to assist students who are struggling to meet the financial require ments when they register for their sec ond semester which start on 1 June. “I am a public relations manage ment student at Unisa and I was sup posed to do my final three modules this year, but due to insufficient funds from NSFAS, I had to drop out.” Chiya said he thought of the fund raising idea of writing an ebook. “The inspiration for the eBook came because I realised that many students would not be able to return to varsity for their second semester and that it would be a good idea to publish online and help others, should the eBook be a suc cess. It took me two months to write,” he said. Publishing a book and putting it on the shelves takes time so Chiya thought that publishing it electronically would be quicker. The ebook can be bought on Bidor buy at www.Bidorbuy.Co.za for R100 and remains there for 21 days, until 21 May, then it is removed from the site.

“The banana, sugar and macadamia nut industries lead the way with other field crops and livestock also playing an important by contributing to the food security of our district and beyond,” said Ivan Naidoo of the chamber. He said there are also significant agricultural projects in the pipeline both in the government and private sector. The programme is half-day and centred around the MEC’s delivery of the strategy and how the challenges and opportunities that exist in our district can be addressed. “Other key perspectives of the sector will be presented by other speakers. The outdoor exhibition will give the industry the opportunity to look at some of the products, services and equipment that can bring about greater efficiencies in agricultural operations,” said Naidoo. Entry to the indaba is R50 and includes lunch. Exhibitors can book their stand from R1 000 and will have the opportunity to bring in their equipment and machinery – everything is welcome as long as it supports the agricultural sector in some way. Vijay Naidoo, the incoming president of the South Coast Chamber of Commerce and Industry, encourages every component to attend the indaba and get to understand the dynamics, support systems and future plans of this sector. The event will also be an opportunity for suppliers to the sector to get to know their market better. “We hope this event will get to be an annual showcase of the South Coast agricultural sector with each year being better that the one before,” said Vijay. Space is limited. Call the chamber on 039 682 0235 or email scchamber107@ gmail.com to reserve a seat.

Ministries FEVER 7 hosts talk on owls south coast

PRECIOUS GUMEDE >>precious.gumede@media24.com

TONE Croft Ministries held its monthly talk at Mbango Valley Hall on Friday, where the guest speaker, Alex Skene, gave a talk on owls, their habitat and the myths surrounding them. The talk was attended by more than 30 people. Skene said owls are interesting creatures, however the myths behind them are the reason why many people do not like them. “Many South Africans associate owls with ‘muthi’ and bad luck, however, the tales are just myths.” He said in South Africa owls are used for muthi - a sangoma will buy an owl for a lot of money just for its body parts. Skene keeps owls and said he was once approached by a man who offered him R6 000 for one of them. “The man told me he would sell the head only for over R10 000 and the rest of the body for at least R13 000,” said Skene, but as an owl lover, he rejected the offer. Skene said in countries like Greece and India they have different myths. “In Greece one of the goddesses walk around with an owl on her shoulder and this goddess was very wise. “So in Greece if one sees an owl, they believe that whatever happens on the day will be wise,” he said. Skene said in India its believed that if one has a child or a family member who suffers from sei-

If they hear an owl hooting in someone’s yard it means someone has lost their virginity in that house,” he said. A second speaker gave a testimony on how God worked his way in her life. Carol Francescon said it was amazing how God took her through many challenges and got her ready for her husband and for that she is grateful.

Donned in their Bargain Wholesalers branded golf shirts and caps, 70 players participated. Not only did they receive shirt and caps, they also had professional photos taken at a photo booth, which were printed and given to each team by the end of the day. Muthu Murugan, comedian and emcee, was master of ceremonies and made mention of the strong working relationship Bargains has with its suppliers. Some said they go back over 30 years and look forward to many more. While presenting prizes, it was evident that every player had a great time and looked forward to the next golf day. “This event is an opportunity to strengthen the existing relationship between us and our suppliers. Due to its success, we would like to see it become an annual event,” said Hishaam Moosa, junior director of the wholesaler. “We are grateful for their loyalty and look forward to working together for many years to come. Thank you to all who participated and made this a day a success,” he added. The event ended with a prize giving where winners walked away with product hampers, electronics and cash, which was followed by dinner.

We will be promoting our destination at all these events which for this time of year, is an added bonus for our tourism and leisure sector. It is amazing how over the past decade or so, the participation in cycle and feet related events have contributed to a massive activity culture in this country. If one looks at the number of events throughout the year and all over the place I get a sense that we are rapidly getting to a point the there could be an over saturation of events and this overload will impact on the entrant.

Going forward, the event tourist will become more selective and based on the quality of event management, the experience of the destination, cost of travel and hospitality choices. I believe that this part of South Africa will tick all those selection preferences and in due course, our events will get the required support.

The dilemma of Facebook friends who simply don't exist

i Welmndaal Ode

Dog on the Couch Hi Susan, I have just bought a Boerboel puppy and have been advised by a friend who has always had large dogs that it is important to “dominate” the puppy from the start of the relationship if you want a well-behaved dog. I personally dislike the thought of using harsh training methods but I have to agree that my friend’s dogs are very obedient. What type of training should I try with my puppy who will quickly grow into a large dog? B.K. It is a harsh reality that what are known as “force” or “dominant” training methods have been popular and around for more than 200 years. The term “breaking in” has been widely used in the context of training both horses and dogs. A lot of outdated literature advocated that dogs had to be dominated and subdued. Very regrettably, in more recent times, a much-hyped and much-emulated TV programme has perpetrated this aggressive old idea and insisted on the need to dominate and take on the role of pack-leader in order to prevent the new canine family member from assuming the much sought-after ‘Alpha’ position. Another outdated and potentially disastrous idea was that training shouldn’t begin until the dog was six months of age. This would be equivalent to waiting for the teenage years before ensuring that a human begins to learn manners and boundaries, whereas in fact rewiring for the adult brain is underway at this late stage. It is obviously far more sensible to teach good behaviour and manners from the outset rather than to allow bad habits to become set in, and then to try to erase and replace them with the proper behavioural patterns. Owners talk about being the “alpha” or say their dog is “dominant”, but few truly understand the theory, which has been authoritatively discredited by wolf biologists for more than twenty years. There is not only one, but two leaders in a wolf pack hierarchy, namely the male and female breeding pair. Emphatically, dogs are not wolves any more than humans are chimpanzees. Yet some trainers and owners persist with this archaic idea, insisting, for instance, on eating before the dog does in the mistaken belief that the alpha always eats first, whereas in fact it is the very young wolves that are privileged at meal times. Another myth is that we should not allow our dogs to go through doorways first. The truth is that the alpha does not always lead. It is the wolf that is best suited to a particular situation or task at hand that will lead. In a hunting situation

the younger inexperienced wolves lead the pack and will tire the prey in preparation for the experienced adult wolves to take down the prey with dangerous and difficult skills. I could go on arguing against these old discredited views but this is not the place. What I would advise is to remain calm in all situations. Dog are alarmed, agitated and confused by hysterical shouting. They will pick up even minute signs of stress. Also, realise that your dog speaks a different language and may not understand your intentions. Behaviour that is rewarded will be repeated and become learnt, so do not reward bad behaviour, such as jumping against people, that would not be acceptable when your puppy is fully grown. Never use physical violence or harsh training tools. These may provide quick results, but without an understanding of the cause of the problem the behaviour will return. As a behaviourist I am shocked by the frequency with which I am asked to attend to dogs that have become aggressive and uncontrollable, and this is usually traced back to earlier or current use of the dominant, harsh training methods or to no training at all. “Where knowledge ends, violence begins” is a truism worth keeping in mind when training or choosing a trainer. Lastly, dogs are inherently loyal. But I cannot stress enough how important it is to clearly define boundaries from the start and to begin training early (a week after he or she has had first puppy vaccinations is ideal) and to be consistent. Good, informed guidance and clearly defined boundaries when training will be rewarded not only with an obedient dog but a happy, well-mannered co-operative dog.

around 4am on 25 April 2016 with the blockade of the R61 with burning tyres and passing vehicles pelted with stones. The R61 is the primary road linking Bizana to Hibiscus Coast. The violence resulted in the closure of the R61 for around 3 hours. There were massive disruptions in the area; schools, clinics and crèches were closed, local bus and taxi services stopped, workers were intimidated and prevented from going to work and disruption of municipal services. These disruption were not only confined to Kwa-Zulu Na-

Step up and do something FOR some time now there has been a “stop and go” between Caribbean Estates and Wild Coast Sun as a big road upgrade is under way. The big picture is that this will be a good thing in the long run, unfortunately the safety of road users in the meantime does not seem to be a priority. The Wild Coast Sun and Caribbean Estates have done their part by installing lighting on the road to increase visibility and safety. Despite this there have been no less than ten vehi-

cles involved in rear end collisions on a stretch of road that has less than two accidents per year.To my knowledge nobody has been killed yet but it is only a matter of time before a child sitting in the back is killed or seriously injured. Why has the municipality or road works contractor not stepped up and made an effort? It would not be so hard to set up temporary speed bumps for 200m approaching the stop and go, seeing that the people waving lights on the side of the

Ruling party factionalism root of violence THE Democratic Alliance in Ugu South, is shocked and alarmed by the upsurge in rioting and violence in the Port Edward area. The rioters, allegedly ANC members, are dissatisfied with the winner of the ANC candidate election process. The local ANC branch is divided into two opposing factions; one allegedly linked to Zinhle Zikalala, the other allegedly linked to Senzo Mchunu. ANC provincial divisions are playing out violently within the deeply divided ANC Lower South Coast Region. The rioting and violence started at

LETTERS

The people of Port Edward, Lashoda and KwaNzimakwe are tired of the disruptions caused by the ANC as ‘comrades’ fight amongst themselves. This continuous violence and disruptions massively impedes communities freedom and access to education and employment opportunities. The residents of Port Edward area and Hibiscus Coast in general are frustrated with this status quo. We call on the ANC regional leadership to call their members to order and provide leadership to stop the violence.

These disruption were not only con fined to KwaZulu Natal, the Eastern Cape was also af fected as teachers, nurses and other public servants work ing in Bizana could not get to work. The Democratic Alliance believes that internal party infighting is unacceptable. Destroying peoples opportunities and municipal services for self-serving interests is a travesty. Cllr.

Refilter dirty water to save resource

THE only thing that I can think of when it comes to burst pipes is a possible conspiracy theory. Could it be possible that the municipalities are wasting water in an attempt to finish the resource so that people can just pay more for it since they have threatened to increase prices? Nevertheless, can’t the mu-

nicipality send out a water tanker to every burst pipe? The water coming out through the fire hydrant is not clean. Hence, if a water tanker takes away the dirty water and puts that water back into a dam we would have efficiently saved the water instead of letting it go down the drain. The same can be said if

there is a terrible leak like that which has been experienced. Surely the water tanker can again use a wide hose and pick up that dirty water and put it back into the dams, where it will go through the process of being filtered again. Rajesh Singh

Small businesses need support IN South Africa small businesses make up the majority of all enterprises and contribute a third of South Africa’s GDP. They are the engine room of the economy. Despite their valuable contribution to the country’s economy, small businesses face significant challenges. We look to the leaders and typically to the president to make be proactive fiscal decisions to support small businesses.

It has become apparent that the ANC has a huge problem in that the president spends most of his time thinking up plans to stay in power and out of jail. It’s up to the ANC to be brave enough to cut out the rot so that the body of South Africa can start to heal. Lester Day

Om te erken dat jy verkeerd was laat mense voel dat hulle beheer oor ‘n situasie verloor het. Baiekeer is dit ook te make met trots. Ek voel dat om jammer te sê my sal verneder dit laat jou voel soos ‘n verloorder. Ander kere het dit dood eenvoudig te make met selfhandhawing, ‘n gebrek aan erkentlik heid, ‘n gebrek aan ware sondebesef. Ek wil nie erken dat ek God se genade nodig het nie, daarom kan ek ook nie genade aan ander uitdeel

allie

nie. Om egter te kan sê dat jy jammer is, om verskoning te vra, is goed vir ons verhouding met God en ons ver houding met mekaar. As jy nie jou skuld kan bely nie stagneer jy as mens. Dit is goed en bevrydend om teenoor jouself te kan erk en, ek is feilbaar, dan hoef jy nie die heeltyd te probeer presteer nie. Dit is goed om teenoor ander te erken dat jy ‘n fout gemaak het, want dit kan die ander party laat besef dat jy jul verhouding belangrik genoeg ag. Dit is veral goed om teenoor God te erken dat jy feilbaar is en Sy genade nodig het. Nog voor jy kon skuld bely, druk Hy jou aan die bors. Ekskuus sê is nooit goedkoop nie. Die storting van bloed, die van Jesus Christus, was nodig om ons van al ons sondeskuld te reinig (1 Johannes 1:9). As ons opreg voor God erken dat ons Sy hart en die van ander gebreek het, ontvang ons die versekering, dis klaar weggedra aan die kruis op Golgota. Is daar iemand vir wie jy moet gaan jammer sê hier die week? Moenie uitstel nie, Môre is te laat.

Die ding was vol mossels en oesters en van die rooiaas begroei. Ek haal toe my Joseph Rodgers-knipmes uit en begin oesters eet, sommer hier van die agterste nommerplaat af. “Toe ek so halfpad geëet het, sien ek dat dit ‘n CG-registrasienommer is.

Van die eerste aankomelinge is reeds hier … lyk my die Vrystaters gaan die Watergat, soos verlede jaar, hul hoofkwartier maak. Die meeste van hulle is van Bloemfontein, en ‘open’ gereeld rugbywedstryde op die Vrystaatstadion met hul ysterperde. Onder hulle is dokters, prokureurs, sakemanne en selfs ‘n vrouehaarkapper. Harley-mense in murg en yster, en nodeloos om te sê, groot Cheetah-ondersteuners met hier en daar ‘n Lion... een selfs met ‘n woedende leeu op sy valhelm geverf.

Gelukkig spoel hy uit op ‘n klein eilandjie waar hy sy roes kon afslaap. Dis die goeie nuus. Die slegte nuus is hy is die volgende ses maande op die eilandjie. Hoewel daar kos en water is, is dit

Sy trek die voorste rissluiter van haar duikpak af ondertoe, en vra: “Wil jy jouself gate uit geniet?” “Ek glo dit nie... hoe kan ‘n man so gelukkig wees. Moenie vir my sê jy het daar iewers ‘n Harley weggesteek nie?” Die rugbystorie kom van Boet Wessels van Bloemfontein, ook ‘n Harleyman. Mense in ‘n straat in die Moot in Pretoria hoor hoe ‘n kind in ‘n huis gil. Hulle roep die polisie, en toe hulle opdaag, begin een van die vrouekonstabels huil. Die omstanders hoor hoe skreeu daai kind - “Daddy, moenie … hou op daddy ... daddy ek wil nie … daddy, hou op asseblief - ek sal nie vir mammie sê nie... hou op ... asseblief daddy moenie ... iemand help my. Asseblief.” ‘n Buurman skreeu: “Bring daai vark uit daai huis.” Die deur word afgeskop, en almal storm in. Die kind het steeds gegil, en toe hulle in die kamer kom, staan die pa daar met die seun en probeer steeds om vir die kind ‘n Blou-Bul trui aan te trek ...

HE second annual Light the Fire lifestyle biking event has a non-stop line-up of familiarisation trips which will take a number of VIP guests to the tourism hotspots of the South Coast from Thursday to Saturday. “This will be a forerunner to the main Light the Fire event which runs from 30 April to 1 May,” explained event organiser, Sinethemba Dhlomo of Integrated Concepts. “This will give us an opportunity to showcase the amazing venues, sights and activities on offer in and around the Paradise of the Zulu Kingdom.” Participants of the familiarisation tourism excursions will include the main sponsors – the KwaZulu-Natal Department of Economic Development Tourism and Environmental Affairs and Tourism KZN, among others – as well as VIP celebrity bikers, Motorcycle Club (MCC) presidents, media and other invited stakeholders. On Thursday, visitors will get to experience the Wild Swing at the top of Lehr’s Waterfall where bungee jumping or ziplining 165m over Oribi Gorge will start the weekend with a serious adrenaline rush. This will be followed by a game drive, or horse ride for the adventurous, at Lake Eland Game Reserve and brunch at Leopard Rock overlooking a quintessentially African view. The day will ease off with a sunset boat cruise, snorkelling, jet skiing and shark cage diving at Shelly Beach and sundowners at the upmarket Stages Restaurant and Lounge, promising 270-degree ocean views from Port Shepstone’s beachfront. Day two will have a gentler start with breakfast at MacBanana, a unique shopping, food and entertainment destination. Here visitors can stroll through the food emporium, partici-

pate in paintball, quad biking and adventure golf or peruse the art gallery and animal farm. The day’s highlight will be a mass charity ride to Gamalakhe sports grounds to hand over a cheque to the Gamalakhe Community Development Foundation which assists the local community with uniforms, school shoes, tertiary fees, career training and business opportunities. Ending off the day will be a fantastic rooftop pool party at Hillbillion Estate where guests can enjoy a complimentary threecourse dinner, welcome drinks and Top DJ line up to start off the lifestyle entertainment of Light the Fire2016. The following two days will be a spectacular motoring extravaganza with a motorcycle manufacturer exhibition, custom bikes show and shine, spinning and stunt area, drifting, kids’ action zone, motorcycle club village, novice and advanced riding demonstrations, live stage music and other entertainment all staged at the scenic Dezzi Raceway in Oslo Beach.

There will also be a VIP precinct offering upmarket hospitality for the signature biker lifestyle including cigar and whiskey lounge, photo booth, sushi bar and prize giveaways.

HarleyDavidsons are some of the most popular motorbikes ever produced.

HAT is the history behind Harley-Davidson? In 1903, the first HarleyDavidson motorcycle began its history in Milwaukee, United States where the one-cylinder model was developed by Bill Harley and Arthur W. Davidson. The first gasoline motorcycle was conceptualised by Merkel, Mitschell and Yale. Powered by a one-cylinder gasoline combustion engine, this motorcycle was originally built for racing. In 1917, when the United States entered into World War I, military demanded and adopted Harleys for combat. About 15 000 machines were used during war time. What made Harley-Davidson so popular? The reputation of HarleyDavidson begun to take a defiant turn for its association with

Hollywood’s motorcycle rogue. McQueen was a fan and the proud owner of several Harley-Davidson motorcycles. He even raced Harleys for pleasure. Released in 1969, Easy Rider, explored the freedom-loving outlook of the sixties.

Port Shepstone Child Welfare hosts youth programme PRECIOUS GUMEDE >>precious.gumede@media24 com PORT Shepstone Child Welfare held a youth programme on Friday for pupils. The event was also attended by passengers on the Logos, which was anchored off Port Shepstone. Child welfare manager Sagree Naicker said it was especially fitting because some of the ship’s passengers spread the word of God to pupils.

Naicker said child welfare runs the annual programme with the intention of mentoring the youth. “We have this programme every year, which is aimed at educating and mentoring the youth especially when it comes to taking responsibility in life and making sure they are aware of the challenges of finishing high school and going to university.” Naicker said many youths leave school, stay at home and do not go to university.

“This programme educates the youth and assists them with finding varsities and colleges in order for them to further their education,” she said. As part of the programme Logos passengers performed a drama outside for the pupils and sang in Chinese, Swedish, Taiwanese and Zulu, after which pupils were treated to snacks. Child Welfare also presented certificates to Logos passengers, thanking them for being part of the programme.

Sheppy High matrics fight racism PRECIOUS GUMEDE >>precious.gumede@media24.com PORT Shepstone High School Grade 12 pupils are creating awareness about a global scourge, racism. They were divided into teams by their life orientation teacher and tasked with coming up with anti-racism campaigns. One group - “Spectrum” - has gone out of their way to ensure that their campaign works and the message spreads. Spectrum group members said racism must fall. “It doesn’t matter what colour you are, as long as your blood is red,” they said.

Pupils said they want people to understand that everybody is the same, it doesn’t matter what colour you are as long as everybody bleeds red. “We want the people to know that no one is born a racist and that there is only one race - the human race.” Team Spectrum presented a scenario - when a person needs an organ transplant they don’t ask the doctor the race of the person from where the organ is coming. As part of their campaign strategy Spectrum also created a Facebook page where people can interact with them. The name of the page is Spectrum and they have asked people to like it and support them.

HOME IMPROVEMENT

Make use of attic space with remodelling PHOTO: SOURCED

NE of the most overlooked areas of a home is the attic. Often forgotten except to store old boxes and keepsakes, attics actually have a lot of potential when it comes to remodeling your home, creating more living space, and opening up the space you already have. Here’s some attic remodeling ideas, as well as some common challenges most attic remodels face. Attic remodeling: the possibilities When most people think of remodeling attic space, they often think of lofts or other simple renovations to the space. Don’t be afraid to think outside the box, however. If you’re still in the planning process, here’s a list of some popular remodeling projects involving attic spaces to get your gears turning: Vaulted ceilings: Most people think extra living spaces when they consider remodeling attic space, but what about opening up living areas you already have? Transforming a neglected attic into vaulted ceilings for your living room or great room can change the entire feel of your home in one easy renovation. More Windows: Besides creating more space indoors, opening up the attic to high ceilings also makes room for the addition of large windows to let

more natural light into your home. Extra Bedrooms: Provided your attic ceiling is tall enough, your attic can also be an excellent place to add extra bedrooms. Guest bedrooms and bedrooms for children and teens are particularly well suited to the smaller spaces that are common in attic remodels. Playrooms: playrooms for children are a perfect fit for attic remodeling. Attic playrooms provide a nice place for children to get away from adults and do their own thing, not to mention they are ideal for keeping toys and messes contained and out of sight. Lofts and office space: Okay, we went here anyway. But only because lofts are a great use of attic space. They work great in conjunction with larger remodeling projects such as introducing vaulted ceilings into your home and can also add a little more flexibility to remodeling attic space since they don’t have the same code requirements that bedrooms do when it comes to access. Some things to look out for with attic remodeling Attic remodeling is full of possibility, however you should keep in mind that there are some challenges when it comes to remodeling attic space. The first is ceiling height. Consider 5 feet to be the absolute minimum height for a usable space, and know that even that

BEING able to customize your home and complete home improvement projects can be the fun part about owning your home. You can basically design the home just as you please. Before you start remodeling, there are few home improvement projects you should try to avoid, especially if you plan on selling your home in the future. Some home improvement projects just aren’t worth the money. Built-in aquariums You may love the look of a beautiful built-in aquarium, however, potential buyers can be turned off by this addition. Aquariums can look stunning and add a touch of luxury, but not everyone wants to deal with the maintenance. For these reasons, is pushing it.

lawn and garden, however, going over the top to create a backyard paradise won’t add to your asking price. If you plan to sell your home, you won’t recoup the cost of expensive landscaping in the sale. Instead of investing in pricey landscaping, you can invest in landscaping that will add curb appeal to your home. You can “wow” potential buyers with a well-kept lawn and some shrubs and small trees. Garage addition An addition to your garage can cost tens of thousands of rands. Many times, homeowners will only recoup about 60% of their investment. If you’re looking to stay in your home for a while and more space in your garage would add to your quality of life, then go ahead and build onto your garage. An addition on your garage can provide a wonderful space for an extra car, additional work space or for storage. If you’re worried about recouping your cost on investment when you sell your home, then you may want to avoid this big-time project. Whirlpool baths A whirlpool bathtub in your master bathroom may sound fun and relaxing, however, potential buyers won’t pay extra for a newly installed bath. Many homeowners install luxury bathtubs, only to discover they need to invest in a larger hot water tank for the tub to work properly. A whirlpool tub may also result in higher energy bills and additional monthly maintenance costs. This can send warning signs to some buyers. We suggest thinking twice before installing a new whirlpool bath. This is a costly project, costing homeowners thousands of dollars. Additionally, if you run into problems during the install, you can run up a hefty bill that wasn’t in your budget. Conclusion As a homeowner, you have many different options for home improvement projects that add value to your home. If you’re planning on remodeling your home, we suggest focusing on energy-efficient and small upgrades that add value. If you’re looking to sell your home soon, steer away from luxurious upgrades and custom add-ons to appeal to more budget-minded buyers. - Supplied

Homeselling misconceptions debunked >> First misconception sellers determine the home’s selling price

HEN it comes to selling a home there is no shortage of advice from a number of sources, such as family and friends. However, being given a lot of information doesn’t necessarily mean that it is the right information. According to Adrian Goslett, regional director and CEO of RE/MAX of Southern Africa, receiving advice and information from so many different sources can lead to uncertainty about certain key aspects of the property sales transaction. He says in today’s age of technology there is a vast amount of information at a consumer’s fingertips, but having access to information and determining what can be trusted are two very different things entirely. “It is not always easy to determine what information and advice should

be held onto and what to ignore. As a result there are several misconceptions that have made their way into the marketplace,” says Goslett. He provides a few truths and facts to debunk the misconceptions and steer sellers in the right direction: First misconception: sellers determine the home’s selling price While sellers will have a say in setting the home’s asking price, the selling price of the property is largely based on the market and what buyers are prepared to pay,” says Goslett. It is important that the asking price of the home is what is considered to be a fair market value based on key elements such as the home’s size, condition, location, the current property market conditions and the selling prices of comparable homes in the area. “It is ultimately the seller who will have the final say as to what the home is listed for, however it is imporV tant to note that the initial N asking price and the actucc H al selling price of the propSupply to Water, Sewer & Road Projects erty could be vastly differ• Septic Tanks ent,” says Goslett.

tion: Pricing the home above market value will leave negotiation room Overpricing a home does two things: it chases potential buyers away and makes other homes in the area look like a bargain, says Goselett. A seller may feel that they are giving themselves some cushioning during the negotiating process, but in actual fact, overpricing has the opposite effect because it turns buyers away and the deal never gets to the negotiation stage. If buyers have done their homework and researched home prices in the area, they will recognise an overinflated asking price and will likely bypass taking a second look at the property. According to Goslett there might be buyers who can afford to purchase the property for its fair market value, but overlook the property if it is listed for too much. There is also the matter of buyers who can afford the inflated price, but soon realise that home may not compare to others in a similar price bracket. Overpricing will lead to the alienation of buyer pools, which can result in the property sitting on the market for longer than it should, and ultimately

selling for less than it should, he says. Third misconception: There is no need to spend money on the property before selling There is a market for buyers who are looking for a home they can fix up or renovate themselves, however Goslett says most buyers want a home that they can simply just move into. “There is no need to completely update the home, but it will be easier to sell a property that is aesthetically pleasing and well maintained. This could be merely a matter of a coat of paint and a few minor repairs,” he says. “It would be ideal to have any major repairs done before the home is placed on the market, but the extent of what is done to the home will depend on the buyer’s financial position and timeframe. If any defaults are found during an inspection, the seller can then discuss options with the buyer regarding additional repairs or dropping their asking price,” says Goslett. Fourth misconception: Renovations and home improvements pay for themselves when you sell Although certain renovations and home improvements will add value to the property, very few renovation pro-

jects will provide a complete payback on the money invested. Goslett says before embarking on any project, it is important to get expert opinions on what should be fixed or changed and what kind of return can be expected as a result. “Debunking misconceptions and knowing the truth about selling will help homeowners to get the most out of their property transaction,” says Goslett. “It is always best to take advice from a trusted source that can provide accurate and helpful information. If ever in doubt, sellers should seek out the counsel of a reputable real estate professional who will be able to guide them in the right direction.” - Property24.

WITH the oldest Millennials now moving into their thirties, their generation is becoming an increasingly dominant force in the real estate market - and especially so in developing countries like South Africa where the 16 to 35 age group makes up a large percentage of the total population. This is according to Berry Everitt, group CEO of Chas Everitt International, who says most buyers in this generation are, of course, firsttimers right now, and may be forced to compromise on a few items for financial reasons - at least until they buy their second or third homes. “But according to a 2015 study of generational housing trends by the US National Association of Realtors, there are certain other home features that are literally dealmakers or breakers for Millennials, and that those who are trying to sell them a property should bear in mind.” Everitt says these features include: Open-plan living This refers to an open-plan living area anchored by a large kitchen with space for a dining table and a separate scullery or laundry. “Once they become homeowners, Millennials tend to eat in and entertain at home much more, and want their family and friends to be able to keep them company in the kitchen if they are cooking,” he says. “They also want this dining space to flow freely into the living or television room if that is where they are entertaining, but on the other hand, prefer a separate utilities room where the dirty dishes and laundry are not permanently in view.” Separate home office Also known as the “gig” generation, Everitt says Millennials are increasingly finding their

next freelance contract online or running internet-based businesses that mean they never have to leave home to work. “However, they do like to have a dedicated space where they can focus on work, so a room that can be permanently set up as a home office is a must for many such buyers.” Good connections Everitt says the tech-savvy and über-connected Millennial buyer is very unlikely to choose a home that does not have excellent cell phone coverage and access to a broadband internet service, or preferably Wi-Fi coverage and a fibre-optic connection. Low maintenance “Even though they may be home most of the time, most Millennials are loathe to spend their time making repairs or doing maintenance chores, so they are always going to prefer properties with long-lasting finishes such as tile floors, granite countertops and aluminium window frames,” says Everitt. Low levies Like all young buyers, Everitt says Millennials often have to stretch themselves financially to be able to afford their monthly bond repayments. “So naturally they will tend to avoid complexes and estates with high monthly levies - even if the security provisions and facilities are excellent,” he says. “Similarly, they will seldom have the budget flexibility to cope with any special levies, so are likely to be very particular about checking the financials before buying into any communal housing scheme. Sellers should be prepared for this and have all the relevant paperwork at hand.” - Supplied.

Jaguar's ultraexclusive Project 7 is in SA and it sounds incredible! I

N August 2015, Wheels24 reported that the ultra-cool Project 7 would arrive in 2016, since then received spy photographs of the sports car, snapped by a reader, seen for the first time in South Africa. After all the teasing and spy images, Wheels24’s Sean Parker was invited by Jaguar to view the unveiling of the special car by the British (and Indian) automaker in Gauteng in March 2016. The Project 7 forms part of an SV0 (Special Vehicle Operations) line-up unleashed in South Africa. John Edwards, managing director Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), said: “Special Operations exists to develop a suite of products and services that enable our most discerning and enthusiastic customers to indulge their passion for our cars. “F-TYPE Project 7 is a perfect ex-

ample of one such product.” The Project 7’s distinctive roadster body pays homage to Jaguar’s classic race cars - the three-time Le Manswinning (1965, 1966 and 1967) Jaguar D-Type. Why the number 7? It’s in reference to Jaguar’s seven wins at the 24-hour race. Jaguar SA said: “We were able to secure five orders, giving a select number of customers an opportunity to own a piece of history. The limited-run cars are a true rarity in this era of mass produced cars.” The Project 7 uses the automaker’s familiar 5.0-litre supercharged V8 engine, producing 423kW (an increase of 19kW over the F-Type R Coupé) and 680Nm, the all-aluminium-bodied car weighs just 1585kg. 0-100km/h is dispatched in a rapid 3.9 seconds and top speed is limited to 300km/h.

justable rear spoiler. To keep with the times, the singleseater concept has been transformed into a two-seater, with rollover hoops for both driver and passenger now integrated into the design – as well as a removable roof and 196 litres of stowage space. A switchable Active Sports Exhaust system with quad, matt-black ceramic coated exhausts are standard - it uses electronically-controlled bypass valves in the rear section of the exhaust which are mapped to open according to a range of parameters. This alters the exhaust gas routing into a free-flowing straight-through arrangement to both reduce back pressure and make it, well sound good. The Project 7 rides on 20” alloys in gloss black and customers can opt to have fitted with high-performance Continental ForceContact tyres.

SV0 has engineered new front suspension knuckles, which, Jaguar says, allow for increased negative camber, as well as revised top mounts and new front/rear anti-roll bars. The front and rear spring and damper units are height adjustable, and both spring rates and damper internals have been tailored specifically to Project 7. Engaging Dynamic Mode delivers enhanced body control through firmer damping rates, increased steering weighting, faster gear changes and sharper throttle response. Dynamic mode is configurable as standard via the central 8” touchscreen, allowing the driver to select and save settings according to their preference. The interior is dominated by lightweight race-inspired bucket seats, finished in a quilted racing-style diamond pattern. The interior features carbon-fibred veneer inserts on the console, an Alcantara steering wheel (with leather option), machined aluminium gearshift paddles and bespoke treadplates with the Project 7 logo. Enhancing its unique appeal, the F-Type Project 7 will be hand-built to exacting standards by Special Operations, and offered in an exclusive, limited-edition production run of up to 250 units globally. - Wheels24

New Ford Ranger wins Double Cab of the Year title

ORD Motor Company of Southern Africa (FMCSA) has added two more awards to its burgeoning trophy cabinet with the new Ford Ranger and the new Ford Everest being voted the top vehicles in their respective segments by Drive OutWeg- Ry in its 2016 4x4 of the Year Awards. “As one of South Africa’s biggest 4x4 and overlanding magazines, the

publication has a large following amongst off-road enthusiasts, and it is fantastic for two of our most important new models to dominate the Double Cab and SUV categories in its 2016 4x4 of the Year awards,” says Tracey Delate, general marketing manager, FMCSA. The Ford Ranger 3.2 TDCi XLT won the Double Cab of the Year title. The new Ranger was launched in October

last year, boasting a fresh new design, a sophisticated all-new interior with SYNC®2 and an 8-inch touchscreen display, advanced Electric Power Assisted Steering, improved quality and refinement, as well as enhanced fuel economy. While the Ranger has topped the highly competitive overall light commercial vehicle sales on three occasions over the past six months, and was the top-seller for six out of 12 months last year, it has dominated the popular double cab sector since 2014. “We know that the local double-cab 4x4 market is a hotly contested one, which makes the Ranger’s dominance even more remarkable,” said Jaco Kir-

sten, editor of Drive Out / WegRy. “The Ranger’s 3.2 litre Duratorq engine has already proved itself, and while the refreshed engine still develops the same amount of power as before, fuel consumption is improved. “The gearbox is also improved, but the biggest improvement has been the interior, which really impressed our staff. Then there are other attributes such as proven off-road ability and fresh, eye-catching styling,” Kirsten said. The all-new Ford Everest was another product that left a huge impression on the Drive Out / WegRy panel. Launched in September last year, the Everest redefined the sport utility

vehicle segment, offering cutting-edge technologies matched to exceptional performance, all-round capability and value-for money. “We always expected that the new Everest was going to be a big step forward, but none of us really expected a leap of this magnitude,” Kirsten stated.Apart from the beautiful styling and luxuriously appointed interior, the Terrain Management off-road system really distinguishes it from all its rivals. IIn fact, a case can be made that it now competes with some of the more established rivals in a higher, traditionally more expensive segment,” he added. - Supplied

A Quest for value THE Corolla Quest remains one of the strongest value propositions on the South African automotive landscape. Offering the size and practicality of a traditional “Csegment” sedan at “Bsegment” pric ing, the Corolla Quest delivers a unique of fering. This intrinsic value has resonated ex tremely well with customers, with the Co rolla Quest nameplate accounting for one out of every five sales in the Csegment (22%). Enhancements for 2016 “One of Toyota’s founding principles is Continuous Improvement or Kaizen as the Japanese terminology states. Kaizen re fers to the philosophy of always enhancing or improving and this applies to far more than production processes, as this extends to our product offerings too. This means that our cars are always evolving in pursuit of offering customers more,” says Glenn Crompton, vicepresident of marketing at Toyota South Africa. For 2016 the Corolla Quest has been sharpened up (or Kaizened) with the addi tion of tasteful colourcoded accents. The colourcoding treatment has been applied to the door handles and power op erated exterior mirrors to add a touch of modernity to the exterior. On the convenience front, all models now boast power windows with one touch operation for the driver. This compli ments the solid standard specification

that all Corolla Quest models enjoy, which includes the following; • Aircon • Illuminated entry • Multiinformation Display • •Electric Power Steering • Tilt and Telescopic steering adjust ment • Antitheft system • Auto door lock • Remote central locking • Isofixanchor points • Driver and passenger airbags ∙ ABS, EBD and brake assist The Corolla Quest is available in two grades, standard and Plus. The ‘Plus’ mod el adds a fourspeaker audio system with CD and USB interface. As part of the 2016 specification enhancement, Plus models receive Bluetooth functionality for hands free call operation with the added benefit of Bluetooth audio playback. Proven Powertrain Powering the Quest, is the proven 1.6 litre “1ZRFE” DOHC 16valve engine which

delivers 90 kW at 6000 rpm, accompa nied by 154 Nm of torque at 5200 rpm. This unit is characterised by its “freerevving” nature, whilst still sipping leisurely on fuel – a mere 7.1 litres per 100 km to make light work of hauling the family and all their be longings. Buyers have the choice of a smooth shifting sixspeed manual transmission or relaxed fourspeed automatic on the stan dard model. Plus models are exclusively equipped with the 6speed manual “cog swopper”. Peace of Mind All models are backed by a 3 year/100 000 km warranty and 3 year/45 000 km service plan. Priced Right Pricing for the new models remains ul tracompetitive and continues the legacy of great value. Quest 1.6 R199 400 Quest 1.6 AT R214 600 Quest 1.6 Plus R215 100. Supplied.

New Tiguan launches the new era of SUVs THE new Volkswagen Tiguan is a great all-rounder with distinctive styling which redefines its class and confidently points the way to the future. The new Tiguan, which will be launched in South Africa towards the end of 2016, kicks off the comprehensive SUV offensive by Volkswagen. It is the first Volkswagen Sport Utility Vehicle to be based on the modular transverse matrix (MQB), and it sets new standards in design, comfort and functionality. This however does not compromise its off-road capabilities which have been enhanced with a rugged allwheel drive system that includes premium class technology for use on and off the highway. The new Tiguan has been receiving positive reviews from the internation-

al media. In the latest comparative test conducted by the largest motoring magazine in Germany, Auto Motor und Sport, the new Tiguan was chosen as the best SUV in its segment against its direct competitors. Recently, Auto Bild Allrad, Europe’s largest magazine for off-road vehicles, announced the new Tiguan as the 2016 “All-wheel Car of the Year”. The new Tiguan also won the “2016 Design Trophy” in the SUV category from Auto Zeitung, German’s special interest magazine. The new Tiguan engine line-up and retail prices for the South African market will be announced closer to the launch date. - Supplied.

ever, did not progress any further. “I am very happy that I made it this far. I could not have done it without support from the Port Shepstone community,” she said said Khawula said the experience was worthwhile.

“I learnt a lot from this competition, especially when it comes to styling men’s hair. I have never cut men’s hair before, which was one of the challenges we had to face. Now I can officially say I’m a professional hairstylist as I am now able to work with male and female hair.” She said the excitement of friends and family carried her through the competition to the finals. “ I have never felt so much love and support especially from my friends, family, clients and the community. My mentor, Musa Gcaba of Muthalindo Hair and Beauty Salon, whom I have worked with for sometime, was behind me throughout and I know he is proud of me for making it this

far,” she said. Khawula said her future is bright as the Sofn’free HairXperts Masters Challenge has opened doors for her. “I am not stopping now, from here I'm entering more competitions. What is also an achievement is that I am now known in the province, not only in Port Shepstone, as a professional among talented hairstylists like Musa,” she said. “I thank the local media for their continuous support and Radio Sunny South gave me exposure and I thank it.” Khawula is back in Port Shepstone and is ready to put everything she learnt from the competition into practice.

Emery banned for dangerous tackle >> Michael Claassens will take over from Reinach at the scrum base JOHN BISHOP

IGHLANDERS centre Jason Emery on Monday copped a four-week ban for his dangerous tackle on Sharks fullback Willie le Roux early in the weekend’s Super Rugby game at Forsyth Barr Stadium in Dunedin. Emery clattered into Le Roux as the fullback took to the air in attempting to gather a high kick and the Highlanders player was red-carded by New Zealand referee Ben O’Keefe. Emery faced a Sanzar judicial hearing this week and was found guilty of playing an opponent in the air. The hearing was held via video conference and heard by a judicial committee of Jannie Lubbe SC (chairperson), De Wet Barry and John Langford. The committee ruled that the offence was a mid-range offence which carries a six-week suspension. “The committee took into account as mitigating factors the player’s exemplary clean disciplinary record after 70 first-class matches, his apology in person to Willie le Roux immediately after the match and on social media, his guilty plea and the fact that the tackle was reckless rather than deliberate. “The player was therefore given a two-week discount on the recommended sanction of six weeks.” Emery is suspended until May 21.

Springbok Michael Claassens will start at scrumhalf for the Sharks in place of injured Cobus Reinach. News from the Sharks camp is that while the injury toll is continuing to mount, head coach Gary Gold is more concerned about his team’s lack of tries than any fitness concerns ahead of Friday’s final New Zealand tour game against the log-leading Chiefs at the Yarrow Stadium in New Plymouth. First-choice scrumhalf Cobus Reinach (knee) and number eight Philip van der Walt (neck) picked up injuries in the 15-14 win over the Highlanders and have returned home. Scrumhalf Stefan Ungerer and lock Giant Mtyanda have been rushed to New Zealand as replacements. Michael Claassens will take over

from Reinach at the base of the scrum against the Chiefs with Ungerer providing cover off the bench while Mtyanda, a specialist lock, is unlikely to be included in the match day squad of 23 unless one of the three locks, Stephan Lewies, Etienne Oosthuizen or Hyron Andrews, goes down with an injury this week. Gold has options in replacing Van der Walt who has been one of the Sharks’ most impressive performers this season in spite of a series of injuries. Experienced Sharks flank Jean Deysel made a powerful impact when he replaced Van der Walt against the Highlanders but Gold could recall the young Daniel du Preez who was unfit for the Dunedin game. But Gold, in praising his players for their character and courage in holding on to beat the champions, voiced his concerns about the Sharks’ tryscoring record after flyhalf Garth April kicked five penalties to seal their Highlanders win. The Sharks, after eight games, are joint last (with the Southern Kings) on South Africa’s try-scoring list. The Cheetahs (32) are at the top followed by the Lions (30), the Bulls (24), Stormers (22) and the Kings and Sharks (both 14). Reflecting on the win over the Highlanders, Gold said the Sharks “had scrapped it out and got there in the end”. “We know that it was not pretty and that try-scoring remains a problem. But we are not going to apol-

ogise for how we won. We take on board that we have to start scoring tries but in the meantime, if we can win in New Zealand through courage and determination, we will take that.” Gold said that with “the right attitude in place, the rest will follow.” “I’m quite relieved to have come away from Dunedin with a victory in a very hard-fought game. We knew it was always going to be very difficult, playing against the current champions. There was added pressure with the fact that they were coming off a loss to the Reds a couple of weeks before and they definitely identified us as a team they should get an easy victory against. “We’re disappointed not to have scored tries and it is something we are going to work on. There was a lot of intent shown and some fantastic phases put together. Our confidence is getting there.” Gold said the Sharks would now be up against the form team in Super Rugby on Friday. “The Chiefs had a fine win over the Hurricanes in what was one of the best games of Super Rugby we have seen this year. The match was played at a very high level and it has reminded us of how difficult it will be to beat the Chiefs given the way we are currently playing. The Chiefs are the best team in New Zealand and we are a long way from the finished product. Everybody knows that. But it is much easier to work on things you know you need to fix when you have the foundation of a win. The guys just cannot wait to get cracking on the training field so that we can give ourselves the best possible shot of winning the match.” Friday’s match kicks off at 9.35 am (SA time).

Eyethu soccer action THE soccer matches played under the Eyethu Premier League at Albersville sports ground on Sunday provided a feast of goals and an exhilarating display of skills. The Bafana crushed Juventus FC six nil in their fast paced encounter to maintain their position at the top of the Hibiscus Coast Football Association log. The Bafana’s first goal came through the boot of Mxolisi Ncanein the tenth minute. Juventus’ defence seemed to fall apart after this as five more goals followed in the next 29 minutes. Juventus tried to regroup in the second half but the damage had already been done. They remain at the bottom of the log with one game played. In the next match, Lamont White City played to a one-all draw against Heroes FC. South Coast VW United also played to a one-all draw against Never Mind.
