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.

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

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

This month as we celebrate Women in Business and women in general, this remarkable entrepreneur and designer, Angela, took time to chat to us about her inspirational entrepreneurial journey and her “never-give-up” attitude towards life and business… • Tell us about your company, Angel Rose Trading. I have a small company with many facets, which I run from home selling vintage furniture, silverware, china, décor items and soft-furnishing products. I also have a range of interesting and aesthetically pleasing up-cycled products made out of coffee-bean hessian sacks - this includesfurniture,handbags,andsoftfurnishings. I also do interior decorating. Recently, I introducedanewelementtotherangeofproductsthat I design and manufacture - body scrubs, hand creams, lotions and soaps. • What inspired you to start your company? Myinspirationcameasaresultofmypersonal journey from being a stay-at-home mom to literally being thrown into the deep-end. As a result, I had to be creative and turn my hand to making products to sell to keep the wolf from the door. Fortunately, growing up on a farm and watching my mom do practical and entrepreneurial things, taught and inspired me as she turned a historical, run-down home into a bed and breakfast. I have been fortunate to have had people be-

lieve in me and my dreams, but it hasn’t always been easy. • Share a little about your entrepreneurial journey. Do you come from an entrepreneurial background? My entrepreneurial start-up story has had its ups and downs. I have lost plenty over the years, but gained even more. My story started in 2002 in my red VW kombi. At the time, I had twins nine months old - and had a travelling boutique selling the finest branded clothes to farmers’ wives in the areas that were too far from civilisation to do their clothes shopping. With my precious nanny Fikile at my side, helping me and my childrenasIbreast-fed,Iwouldfillmykombiand go away for two days at a time with my boutique. Over time this business grew and I opened up a shop from home. I then had my third baby and this is when unfortunately, disaster struck and we lost everything. But this didn’t stop me. Instead it made me more creative and productive. I stopped selling clothes as by that time we had moved to Durban and people could get the clothing I used to sell on account. So instead I diversified my business. I started buying vintage lamp shades and added bling and feathers and fluff to them, taking something old and unloved and turning it into a new décor piece to be treasured and spoken about. This line of business expanded,resultingin memovingtolookforgreatpieces of old furniture and giving them a new lease of life. Second-hand shops and vintage shops were my absolute best sources of material. However, there have also been lots of business highs and

lows. For example, at one time I had factories manufacturing thousands of lamp shades for supply to major South African home décor retailers, but I lost this business due are to bad deciWOMEN more in control of their finances than ever sions I before. made.

Moving home is 3rd most stressful after death or divorce, so choose a furniture removal company that, not only has efficient, happy staff, but empathetic, caring management. Colin and I have owned Move-it for 30 years and our daughter, Sally-Ann, who is a teacher in Papua New Guinea, has grown up in a furniture removal household where our customers have become our friends. I enjoy meeting people from all walks of life and every day is different. I am in charge of Marketing and Sales and pop into many of the moves to see how the client is doing. We have a wonderful bookkeeper, Linda Hall, who keeps us on our toes. I love my garden, it releases my stress and keeps me grounded. Eleven years ago I joined BNI which has grown our business hugely, because networking is such a great way to do business with like-minded people of integrity. Move-it is more than a way to put bread on the table.

Keachea, a family business, was opened in Hillcrest in 2009 and Musgrave in 2012, the destination shop for Melissa & Doug Wooden Educational Toys, which is by far our best seller. Keachea is named after my children Chelsea, and Keaton. Daughter Chelsea runs both shops and her new ideas and enthusiasm and dedication to customer service has really helped, and with our wonderful staff, we make a great team. We will be at the Baby Expo from 28 to 30 August. We will also be at the Hilton Arts Festival from 18 to 20 September and the Stanger Christmas Fair Fund on 28 and 29 October. At all these shows we have specials! The Baby Expo will have new items from Melissa & Doug, MooMoo gowns and character towels, 4 a Kid safety products, Sophie the giraffe, and Sugardots’ new release of micro scooters for all ages. Thank you to all my loyal customers.

Jean, who has been labelled the ‘Grande dame’ of the battery industry joined her son Greg in 1986 at the then Deltec Power Distributors, now known as Enertec Batteries.

I usually preach to people because I have practical experience. You really need to have a passion for what you want and go out and own it. The thing I love most about my little gold mine (shop) is that most South Africans do not have the money to buy quality products because it is unaffordable to living standards in South Africa. However, locals stroll through my shop and I hear “wow”, then pick up something, go to the till point, pay and still have money left for food, that is what I call, not just success, but that I have succeeded.

n a competitive business climate, retaining key employees makes good business sense and is vital for the health of our company. We celebrate Women’s Day on the 9th August 2016, and I would like to thank each and every Lady that works at Harbourview Superspar.

74% of all staff employed at Harbourview Superspar are females, and we appreciate all their hard work, dedication, motivation and excellent customer service.

Jean came from a teaching background where she was known for her thoughtfulness and caring heart. Her care for her pupils has endured that she has lifelong connections with them of which many still stay in touch with her today. In addition Jean is a dedicated wife and mother raising a family of 4 and still adopting 3 after they lost their parents. With all these wonderful qualities she joined Greg in the battery industry. Her positive outlook on life always left customers and friends upbeat and ready to face the world. She mentored many of her staff over the past 29 years, and is a shining example to all who know her.

“If you have a family, ensure you are involved in your family finances,” says Sibiya. “Go through all the aspects such as what debt you as a family have, if that is a home loan, vehicle finance or credit cards. It is also imperative that you go through what insurance policies, savings and investments you have as a family.” Whether you are single or have a family, find ways that you can contribute positively, financially. “During the assessment find solution such as spotting inefficiencies, like credit cards or store cards with high interest rates or wasted spending that could be utilised in a more positive manner. All of these actions will ensure that you are a positive financial influence in your life and those around you,” says Sibiya.

Women’s conference in Margate

Defining Women’s Day

ICTURE what it must have been like – over 20 000 women of all ages and races from all across South Africa marching together towards the Union Buildings in Pretoria. Though each marcher must have thought about the risk of arrest, they bravely came together on 9 August 1956 as a formidable force to protest against the pass laws that proposed further restrictions on the movements of women. This 9 August we celebrate the anniversary of this landmark Women’s March. It is an ideal time to celebrate and reflect on the status of women today and the advances made since that historical day when South African women organised one of the largest and most successful protests in the country’s history. “The situation on the day (9 August 1956) was very electrifying as everybody was looking forward to a serious confrontation,” marcher Amina Cachalia recalls. “As a young person at the time, the march was a learning curve for a journey that finally came to the election of the new democratic government.” The Federation of South African Women (Fedsaw) organised the March, led by four women; Helen Joseph (pictured above), Rahima Moosa, Sophy Williams and Lilian Ngoyi. The leaders delivered petitions to Prime Minister JG Strijdom’s office within the Union Buildings. Women throughout the country had put their names to these peti-

WOMEN’S Day used to really bug me. It bugged me that we got a day out of the year like some subculture or niche group; a nice little pat on the head to keep us sweet by pretending “women’s issues” matter. It bugged me that we were suddenly supposed to be grateful for a measly day, when everyone knows the disparity between the sexes, when it comes to earning power and the division of wealth vs. the division of labour is still ridiculously unfair. It bugged me that so many men had the temerity to state that they won’t support Women’s Day because there’s not a Men’s Day when – if you have half a brain you know – that the How are whole year is bloody Men’s We are not the perpetraDay. tors.

HE public rarely gets to see rescue teams in operation because they often take place in rural dams and rivers, in mountainous regions like the Drakensberg and cliffs like at the Oribi Gorge. Many search and rescue operations are carried out at night as well. Onlookers can only marvel at the sight of paramedics, firemen, police and search and rescue personnel going about their tasks setting up lad-

Public witness rescue operation firsthand ders, abseiling down sheer cliffs and mountainsides or over a high river bridge and rigging up the array of gear necessary for the rescue while comforting and reassuring the victims.

Service, SA Paramedical Services, Netcare 911, Med-Evac, Scottburgh SAPS and the Port Shepstone Search and Rescue unit joined forces to get an injured man off the roof of the block of flats. The 30-year-old man was setting up a DStv dish with his employer when he suffered an epileptic fit and fell. “He was on the verge of falling off the roof when his employer grabbed hold of him and hauled him back up. The employee sustained injuries to his forehead and some bruises,” said police spokesperson Captain Vincent Pandarum. “In what could be described as record time, the rescue teams had set up a drip, bandaged the man’s head and stabilised him before strapping him to a special rescue stretcher and lowering him down a step ladder with the aid of ropes,” he added. The injured man was taken to hospital. - Supplied. The team who got the injured man off the roof.

Elderly couple burnt to death in car AN elderly couple, who planned was to visit family in Sezela on Saturday, died after their car burst into flames. A First Street, Park Rynie resident was at his home overlooking the beach parking area in Convent Road when he heard an explosion. “The man and a friend raced to the parking lot and saw thick smoke coming from a Hyundai i10 that was on fire,” said police spokesperson Captain Vincent Pandarum.

“It was difficult to see if there were occupants in the car and both men began pelting the windows with bricks, but the intense heat of the blaze forced them to retreat.” Umdoni fire fighters arrived at the scene and extinguished the blaze, but by then the car was totally burnt out. Two completely burnt bodies were found in the car, one in the driver’s seat and the other was seated at the right rear. The bodies were

removed to the Park Rynie state mortuary and an inquest docket was registered by Sergeant Shirley Chetty and Constable Douglas Mongi Gumede of the Scottburgh SAPS to investigate the circumstances surrounding the deaths. It was established that the vehicle belonged to Aroomugum “George” Moodley (68), of Crossmoor, Chatsworth. It is alleged that he and his wife Kistamah “Baby” Moodley (70) left home at about 8am to visit

relatives in Sezela. “It is believed that the wife may have occupied the back seat because fishing rods were put in through the window with the butts in the front passenger side,” said Pandarum. The car was impounded by police for investigation purposes. The cause of the fire is yet to be established. The case is being investigated by the Scottburgh SAPS Detective Service. - Supplied.

SAPS teach pupils about social ills PORT Shepstone SAPS visited Hoërskool Suid-Natal on Thursday where Grade 11 pupils were taught about sexual offences. Lieutenant-Colonel Zandra Wiid from Communication, Liaison and Marketing, Detective Warrant Officer Bruce Reid from DPCI: Organised Crime and Detective Sergeant Britt Edwards from Family Child and Sexual

Offences Unit, conducted the programme. Edwards explained the definitions, investigation procedures and consequences of sexual offences. “Dealing with these type of cases on a daily basis, she could expertly answer all of the many questions posed by pupils,” said Wiid. Reid, who has many years’ experience in drug-related cases, spoke about the different types of drugs, the effects it has on humans as well as the legal implications when someone has been arrested for being in possession of drugs. Samples of the different types of drugs were also shown. “It is important to educate our youth at an early stage about sexual offences and drug-related crimes as it could have a serious effect on their further education, job opportunities or their lives as a whole,” said Wiid. - Supplied.

MELVILLE resident has exhausted all avenues in his bid to get the municipality - or anyone - to fix a 16-year-long battle with flooding at his home every time there are torrential rains. Bhekabantu Sangweni’s house is at the end of Riverside Road, bordering Khoshwane River. “Since 2000, all the houses at the end of this road get flooded every time there is heavy rain and the river bursts its bank,” he said. Sangweni’s story first appeared in the Fever of 15

August, 2014 and at that time Hibiscus Coast Municipality spokesperson Simon April said an investigation was to be done to find a solution to the flooding. “I am not aware of any investigation that took place since that article in the Fever,” said Sangweni. Sangweni said he lost furniture after the flooding and has spent thousands over the years trying to fix the situation. He said the river needs to be channelled properly so that water does not reach the houses. When Fever visited Sangweni’s

home, the water was ankle deep in the yard and all the house rooms were flooded. “We even got together as neighbours and submitted a memorandum of our concerns to HCM, but we have never heard anything from them since.” After reporting the matter to his local councillor many times, Sangweni said he understands the municipality that has a budget to undertake the re-channelling of the river water. At the time of going to press, April had not responded to questions sent to him.

Rescue centre needs help >> ‘I stood by helplessly watching our roof take off’

AINBOW Warriors South Africa (RWSA), a rescue and rehabilitation centre in Hibberdene is in urgent need of assistance after the recent storms damaged their shelter, which houses 29 dogs and 35 cats. Terrance Olivier, founder of RWSA, described witnessing the storms while battling to get their animals to safety. “I stood by helplessly watching our roof take off. When I looked at the isolation kennels, they were crumpled in a pile of wood, the fencing and roofing crumpled in the corner of the ground. I had already been notified that two trees had crashed in our store room. “To see a roof being picked up and tossed into the air with such ease is extremely frightening. The house has a few broken windows, a damaged geyser, mud and water,” said Olivier.

Animals and humans managed to escape injury despite the heavy structural damage to the centre. “Currently most of the animals have temporary shelter and we urgently need volunteers or donations to help us put our centre together again,” he said. RWSA also educates the community and were also attempting to build additional kennels before the storm hit. Olivier added funding is a challenge and are relying on public support. For those who would like to assist financially, the banking details are, Nedbank Amanzimtoti.

Dog on the Couch HI Susan, I am confused about the change over from dominant training to reward based. The dog whisperer and others have advised never to let the dog go through the door first because that will make us a lower rank in the dog’s eyes. This makes more sense to me than constantly pandering to the dog and giving a reward for his every move. Thanks. Kathy Hi Kathy, A wise professor once said that learning is best done by challenging the old mythol ogies. The illinformed dominant training methods based on a rankreduction sys tem make dogs subservient. These stifling methods are not only based on false prem ises which have negative and potentially dangerous consequences. They also breed unhealthy dictatorial relationships devoid of real trust, respect and love. Nobody likes a bully, not even man’s best friend. This kind of training destroys something essen tial to the dog’s spirit. The same principle applies to human relationships. People with autocratic partners or parents will know exactly what I mean. But we now know beyond doubt that other animals al so have emotional needs. This is not an ex clusive human preserve. How many of us could happily be our true selves if bullied into a slavelike role, constantly at the beck and call of a master?

People demanding this kind of subser vience are not only breaking a spirit. They are leaving no safety valve for the pentup frustration engendered. They are prepar ing the ground for something dangerous to grow that their victim may not indefinitely be able to contain. Of course there have to be basic rules governing any relationship, as for the functioning of any civilised socie ty, but they need to be reasonable and fair, not selfish and dictatorial. These positive tenets apply equally well to good training. We need to leave behind the dark ages and recognise that dog training has evolved in the light of our vastly increased scientific knowledge and understanding of animals. Never before has there been such an explosion of new discoveries concerning emotion and intelligence in animals and in the similarities between theirs and our brains. It is horrifying to remember that not very long ago Descartes propagated the notion that animals were mere automa tons, incapable of feeling physical or emo tional pain. Now it has been proved beyond doubt what perceptive, empathetic peo ple have known all along Descartes was wrong, blinkered and cruel. The old dominant methods of training are now very widely recognized to be based on false premises, badly flawed and at least potentially dangerous. Dogs are not wolves and it is not true that wolves live in a linear hierarchy, with a constant battle for an alpha role and dominance over the rest of the pack; wolves have been shown to live harmoniously with special friend ships and allegiances. Further, dogs have been domesticated for far too long to be treated as wolves. Dogs are consequently far less fearful of us. Naturally they understand human body language and are more easily social ized than wolves. Of course boundaries are important for each family member. This is how we main tain relationships and try to avoid rup tures. When one forces another, either a rela tionship or someone’s individuality is harmed. Dogs have certain behaviours such as digging, rolling in smelly things and eating rubbish which may not be the hab its an ideal housemate. Here is where sen sible training, compromises and relation shipbuilding come in. If you do not want dog hair and grit in your bed then the dog

can be taught to accept an alternative sleeping area. If you enjoy snuggling up to a furry water bottle then that is all right. It may be your home, but we and the dogs are individuals. Sleeping on the bed, sitting on the couch, playing tug of war and pull ing on the leash are not indications that your dog is “being dominant”. That’s another ridiculous fallacy. If you need your dog to wait at the door before you let her out, train for this but, whatever you train, always do so in a way that har monises rather than harms. Equally there is no problem letting your dog through the door ahead of you. Perhaps you prefer it. It’s not a sign of “dominance” – just differ ent manners and norms which are not nec essarily set in stone. It is said to take 20 years to change an average human mindset. That’s the only explanation I can give for the prevalence of dominant training in some quarters, un fortunately reinforced internationally on popular television and does not have the respect of eminent scholars and practi tioners in his field. It’s worse than the piano teaching har pies of old who for decades drummed in their archaic methodology by rapping their unfortunate pupils’ knuckles. Unless they were very strong, those aspiring musicians lost the spirit. The Board of Directors of the British Co lumbia SPCA this month approved a state ment of which the following is an extract: “The BC SPCA is opposed to training meth ods which employ coercion and force. Aversive, punishmentbased techniques may alter behaviour, but the methods fail to address the underlying cause and, in the case of unwanted behaviour, can lead to undue anxiety, fear, distress, pain or injury.” They also made reference to authorita tive research such as I’ve referred to, which indicates that “over the longterm, dogs trained through punishment may develop a fear response to the handler, less bond ing with the guardian, less playful behav iour, less inclination to engage positively with strangers and show an increase in fearassociated behaviours, including ag gression. Humane dog training is an inher ently safer methodology for both animals and people.” Susan Henderson© (accredited animal behaviour consultant) info@dog boxtrain ingschool.co.za

TOURISM 360

Golf in our tourism value chain A FRIEND of mine recently called to say he had been mandated to arrange two golf trips to the South Coast and would I recommend certain logistical options for his trips. This got me contemplating what spend 24 golfers could contribute towards our local economy within the tourism value chain when the lads come down over four days. To begin with, some 96 bed nights at say R600 per person per night calculates to R57 600 and then if one adds the cost of four rounds of golf with cart at say R400 that is another R38 400. Further to this they could spend on half way house and post golf drinks another R19 200 and this is before they venture off for supper and further jollification. The latter outlay could result in spend of another R28 800. So as a basic outlay 24 golfers could over four days spend as much as R144 000 before additional expenses such as petrol, hangover medication, items from a pro shop, gifts for family back home and caddies come into play. This is not chicken feed in anyone’s business language. I have always advocated that fifty percent of nothing is better than one hundred percent of nothing so these small scale sports and leisure interest groups for activities like fishing, scuba, hiking, birding, etc., are equally as important as the big influxes of major market segments such as our biker

JUSTIN MACKRORY: CEO SOUTH COAST TOURISM friends and conference attendees. Many of these groups come here out of season which in turn assists in supporting tourism dependent enterprises during quieter business periods. Golf is just one of many sporting options we offer one the South Coast and it is for this reason why we pursue sport and niche interest tourism as well as our main stream segments. So if you see a few jolly golfers from the Midlands doing their “tour” stuff please make them feel welcome them as we should all our visitors. I know that most if not all of them are pretty successful fellows so if they really enjoy their trip, they will spend generously, be back and also recommend our golf coast to their networks around the country. We are blessed with some classic golf courses here so going forward we intend to do more overseas marketing to golf tour specialists and the per capita spend for international visitors far exceeds that within our domestic consumer. So let them play in paradise - we have the right venues, 365 days a year.

AN interesting thought occurred to me today about the world’s religions and I thought I should share it. Judaism, Christianity and Islam, known as the Abrahamic faiths as they all have Abraham in their origins, ironically all have creationism over natural evolution to explain life on Earth. Strangely, they all seem to have evolved from the first major monotheistic faith, Judaism, to adapt to the societies in which they gained dominance. Today’s modern Islamic extremists like Isis are behaving in a way that was last seen during the inquisitions of Christianity but in these violent times no deities emerged to direct or bless those involved. There are big differences in all three faiths but the underlying similarities are even greater. For example, in Judaism and Islam, pork is forbidden, but as genetic traits can often skip a generation, it is allowed in Christianity. I would like to initiate a reader debate on this subject. I am no cultural evolutionary expert, but could the fact that there are three clearly linked monotheistic faiths not in effect prove that no single creator actually exists? R. Nicolai

Wouter se Watergat

WW WOUTER WILLEMSE NÁ verlede Saterdag se wedstryd op Emiratespark in Johannesburg het ons almal hier in die Watergat halfstomgeslaan gesit voordat die eensgesindheid oorgeborrel het: vanjaar se Goue Leeus is seker een van die beste Suid-Afrikaanse provinsiale spanne in die geskiedenis, en beslis die beste SA span wat sedert 1996 SupeRugby gespeel het. Selfs as ‘n jarelange Sharks-ondersteuner is dit vir my verbasend maklik om dit te verklaar, en wat die wedstryd hier gekyk het, was dit eens. Ons het mekaar gevra waarom die Goue Leeus skielik almal se lieflinge is, en dit was maklik om die redes te identifiseer. Dis ‘n span wat drie jaar gelede ‘n relegasiewedstryd teen die Kings moes speel ná ‘n swak jaar of twee te midde van ‘n politieke gekonkel van onder meer Cheeky Watson. Hulle het nie borge gehad nie, en bitter min spelers met groot name. Afrigters John Mitchell en Carlos Spencer het ‘n vlammetjie aangesteek, maar albei is gou weg nadat Mitchell en die spelers meningsverskille gehad het. Johan Ackerman, wat Mitchell se assistent was, het gebly, en die afrigter geword. Stadig maar seker het Kevin de Klerk en sy

bestuurspan, later aangevul met Rudolph Straeuli, die gety begin draai. Swys Joubert het hom vroeër by Ackerman aangesluit, nuwe borge is moeilik maar stadig maar seker gekry, en uiteindelik is ‘n borgskap van die Emirates-lugredery bekom. Die unie kon sy jong spelers behou en enkele nuwe name koop. Die Leeus het ‘n soort rugby begin speel wat herinner aan dié van NieuSeeland, ‘n unieke samehorigheid is geskep, hulle het verlede jaar die Curriebeker gewen, en nou is hulle in die SupeRugby-eindstryd. Ek wil nie glo dat jy wedstryde wen indien jy bid dat dit moet gebeur nie, maar dis ook duidelik dat geloof ‘n groot rol speel in ‘n groot groep van die spelers se lewens. Oom Pottie? Hy is nog steeds in die sewende hemel. Anders as vorige kere, soos wanneer die Leeus die Sharks kafgedraf het, was daar nie pyn in ons harte nie, en is hy alleen gelaat waar hy met ‘n hemelse glimlag na die TV gestaar het. Glimlag van die week is Gerrie Pistorius van Hibberdene se stoute verhaaltjie van die jong getroude vrou wat aan haar man sê sy het goeie nuus. “Ek is ‘n maand laat, die dokter het dit bevestig en gevra ons moet eers stilbly tot op 14 weke want dinge kan nog verkeerd loop. Jy gaan pa word.” So gesê so gedaan. Die volgende dag lui die egpaar se foon, en Eskom se skuldinvorderaar vra: “Is u mevrou Kriel? Besef u u is ‘n maand laat?” “Hoe weet jy dit?” stotter sy. “Ons rekenaarstelsel bevestig dit,” verklaar die man. Die volgende dag storm Mnr Kriel by Eskom se kantoor in en bulder, “Hoe weet julle my vrou is ‘n maand laat?” “Ons monitor hierdie dinge elektronies, al wat jy moet doen is betaal,” sê die klerk. “As ek weier?” “Dan sal ons geen opsie hê as om dit af te sny nie, meneer”. “O donner, wat van my vrou?” “Wel meneer, sy sal dan seker maar ‘n kers moet gebruik.”

Domoina – 10 dae van totale verwoesting JOHAN PRETORIUS

OE die gure weer se rukwinde en reën verlede week hier aan die Suidkus die skuifdeure van ons huis heen en weer geruk en die water op plekke die huis ingewaai is met brute krag, en ‘n geutpyp soos ‘n tandestokkie afgeruk en 20 meter verder in drie stukke neergegooi is, het die uwe teruggedink na Januarie 1984. Dis die jaar toe die tropiese storm Domoina chaos en verwoesting in Mosambiek, Swaziland, Suid-Afrika en Madagaskar gesaai het. Op 21 Januarie van daardie jaar was ons SAUK-produksiespan op ‘n nuus-sending in ‘n BBC-ateljee in Londen besig om te redigeer aan ‘n satelliet-nuusvoer toe ons op ‘n uitsendingsmonitor in die ateljee gesien het ‘n buitengewoon sterk tropiese storm het Madagaskar getref. Vir die volgende week tydens ons nuusreis in Europa het ons met groot belangstelling ( en trepidasie ) in hotelkamers en ateljees van TV-stasies na die stelselmatige verwoesting gekyk wat Domoina aangerig het. In gereelde oproepe huis toe is ons gerus gestel dat slegs die noorde van KwaZulu-Natal deur die storm getref is, maar dat die skade elders rampspoedig was. Domoina het in KZN ‘n die grootse vloede in 100 jaar veroorsaak nadat dit op 16 Januarie langs die noordoostelike kus van Madagaskar ontwikkel het. Vyf dae later tref dit Madagaskar, beweeg dwarsoor die land en laat 42 dooies en skade ten bedrae van $25 miljoen agter. Terug in die Mosambiekkanaal het Domoina nuwe lewe gekry en op 28 Januarie met winde van net onder 100 kilometer per uur die suide van Mosambiek getref. Maputo het in twee dae 40% van sy jaarlikse reënval gekry. Maputo het verskeie dae geen skoon water gehad nie as gevolg van die skade aan pompstasies, en die hawe moes gesluit word. Bome is ontwortel, honderde huise is beskadig of uitmekaar geruk,

Vyftig klein damme in die land en 250 000 hektaar van die land se landerye is kort voor oestyd verwoes, en 350 000 boere is hierdeur geraak. Baie van hulle het nader aan riviere geplant weens ‘n langdurige droogte, en 120 000 ton vrugte, groente en meer as 5 000 stuks vee was daarmee heen. Meer as 50 000 mense het al hul besittings verloor, 109 is dood, en die totale skade was $75 miljoen. Swaziland was volgende op die lys, en as gevolg van die reuse-vloede is meer as 100 brûe ernstig beskadig of weggespoel. Spoorlyne het oornag verdwyn, en verskeie gebiede in Swaziland was dae lank weens die vloede van die buitewêreld afgesny. Twintig hoofpaaie is ernstig beskadig, duisende stuks vee het gevrek, meer as 10 000 sitrusbome is weggevoer, die totale skade was $57 miljoen en 73 mense het hul lewens verloor.

Gestremdheid

NOU die dag gesels ek met ‘n dame in ‘n rolstoel. “Hoe voel dit om gestremd te wees, vra ek?” Sy bly so ‘n oomblik stil en antwoord: “Die ergste is dat mense dink daar is iets met jou kop ook verkeerd. “Behandel ons soos enige ander mens, maar sorg net dat daar toegang is vir gestremdes by jul kerke of klubsale.” Toe wonder ek wat is die Christene se algemene houding teenoor gestremdes hier langs die Suidkus? Gestremdheid word meermale gedefinieer vanuit dit wat die persoon nie het nie. Die persoon het byvoorbeeld nie visie nie, of is nie beweeglik nie, is gehoor of verstandelik gestremd. Een van die hindernisse wat gestremdes moet oorkom is juis stigmatisering. Stigmatisering is wanneer jy iemand beoordeel op grond van vooropgestelde aannames en dan ‘n “etiket” om daardie persoon se nek omhang. Onlangs vertel ‘n MIV positiewe en gestremde mens hoe iemand uit die veld geslaan was toe hulle hoor sy is swanger. Die sosiale wetenskappe definieer mense met gestremdheid as diegene met ’n langtermyn- fisiese, verstandelike, intellektuele of sensoriese gestremdheid wat keer dat hulle effektief en op gelyke vlak met ander in die samele-

in een dag, en 29 riviere was in vloed, onder meer die Pongola, waarvan die loop na die storm verander het. Die Pongoladam het so gou volgeloop dat sluise oopgetrek moes word om die damwal te beskerm, en dit het bygedra tot meer vloede in Mosambiek en tientalle mense, meesal boere, het verdrink. Tussen Sodwana en Richardsbaai het 950 millimeter vinnig geval, en meer as 700 op Mkuze, die bo-Umfolozi, Pongola en die Usutu- en Komatiriviere. Die presipitasie het tot by Durban gestrek, maar gelukkig nie verder beweeg nie. In Suid-Afrika het 60 mense omgekom, en is die eiendom van 500 000 mense beskadig. Die totale skade was R100 miljoen. Bg. is uiteraard ‘n oppervlakkige oorsig van die verwoesting wat Domoina gesaai het, en die betrokke lande het jare geneem om behoorlik te herstel. Dit het die uwe egter opnuut laat besef dat ‘n bietjie water in die sitkamer en ‘n stukkende geutpyp groot redes tot dankbaarheid is.

wing funksioneer. Al hierdie definisies fokus op die onvermoë of tekortkominge van die persoon. Tog is elke mens met ’n gestremdheid steeds volkome mens – waardige ontvanger van die liefde van God. Die persoon met gestremdheid het immers dieselfde basiese behoeftes as elke ander mens aan veiligheid, versorging, liefde en aanvaarding. Hulle is ook niks anders as mede beelddraers van God nie, deur God geliefd en gewil om deel van sy liggaam op aarde te vorm. In die gelese gedeelte in Johannes 9 het ons ook te make met die stigmatisering van die blinde man. Jesus se dissipels was oortuig dat hy of sy ouers gesondig het en dat dit die rede was vir die man se gestremdheid of blindheid. Jesus hanteer die persoon anders. Jesus sê dat die blinde se gestremdheid daartoe gedien het om Israel se geestelike blindheid aan die kaak te stel. Uiteindelik open Jesus hierdie blinde se oë. Jesus beskou mense met gestremdheid as gelykes. Deur Sy kruisdood word ongelykhede tussen mense immers uitgewis. Gestremdes is immers ook Christus-volgelinge. Christene behoort sensitief te wees teenoor mekaar en alle mense. So behoort ons sensitief te wees vir gestremdes se behoeftes. Is jou kerk, kantoor, winkel, huis, ingerig om mense met gestremdhede te akkommodeer? Sien jy neer op mense met gestremdheid, of behandel jy hulle as medebroers en susters in die Here?

BORN in Bizana, musician Mnqophiso Madikizela (23), is making waves online. Madikizela was born in rural Mbhongweni and moved to Munster when he was young to live with his grandmother and matriculated from Port Shepstone High School in 2010. Madikizela is now promoting his music online, internationally and said his focus is on his latest single Let It Be Easy and another untitled song, which he will be releasing soon. Madikizela said his track is getting a lot of social media attention in Dubai. His love for music started when he was very young because his mother was a singer. “I can’t say I really started music because my Mom was a singer so I was familiar with a musical environment.” He wrote his first song, with the help of friends, at the age of 11. “My friends and I wrote a song in primary school and I remember singing it in front of the school in assembly.” Madikizela likes urban music. “I create the sounds I like to hear on radio,

TV, iTunes and Tidal and SoundCloud. I ultimately create a personal interpretation of the sounds I love to hear,” he said. Madikizela released an album in 2013 titled Childish Behaviour, but you won’t find it in any shops. “My album was an experimental hip-hop, rap project I did to get an idea of what it takes to create an album.” “I am currently building up a catalogue for my next album, which will be out coming soon.” He said his target market is the youth. “I create my music for the youth aged 18 to 24, who listen to urban music. “I find my music appeals to this group the most, and these give me the most joy,” he said. Madikizela’s inspiration is his faith and he believes in God and by his faith, he can focus and keep moving. “A lot of the artists who do big things inspire me, but more so, my focus is on my spirituality, specifically Christianity and that keeps me going.” One of his long-term goals it to win a Grammy. Madikizela’s music is available through online retail stores, Tidal and Amazon Music and Spotify.

NEW chapter has been written in the chronicle of amazing human achievements. Fedor Konyukhov, the famous Russian adventurer, has set a world record for circumnavigating the globe non-stop in a hot air balloon in just 11 days. The previous record set by the American bal-

loonist Steve Fosset was beat by two days. Fedor Konyukhov’s ambitious undertaking was directly supported by Toyota, with the new Toyota Hilux as the official vehicle of this amazing journey. Over a year ago, the legendary To-

yota Hilux pickup accompanied the prominent adventurer in all preparations to the around-the-world flight. First of all, it supported the training phase in Russia. Then, during the pre-flight preparations in June, the seventh-generation Toyota Hilux participated in the

official handover of a new Cameron Balloons hot air balloon to Fedor Konyukhov in Bristol, UK. On 12 July, the invincible pickup was indispensable at the launching site near Northam, Australia – Toyota Hilux prevented the balloon from a premature take-off, while the envelope was being filled with helium. Finally, the pickup was among the first to arrive at the landing site, with Fedor Konyukhov’s team on board. After the balloon touched the ground, it was again secured with the help of Toyota Hilux, enabling Fedor Konyukhov to exit the pod safely. Fedor’s balloon was airborne for 11 days, traveling the distance of 34,950 km: it passed over the Pacific, Atlantic and Indian oceans, approached Antarctica and flew across Australia, South America and Africa. Konyukhov has been flying at heights of up to 10,600 m while enduring temperatures down to -55°C. Celebrating the new world record, Fedor Konyukhov’s son Oscar Konyukhov, who headed the ground support team, said: “I’m extremely proud of my father! It’s hard to grasp the scope of what he managed to achieve. To complete a record-breaking nonstop circumnavigation in a hot air balloon from the first attempt is one chance in a million. And he did just that!” “The whole Toyota team sincerely congratulates Fedor Konyukhov and all participants of the Round The World On a Roziere Balloon project. The example of the 65-year old traveller who challenged the nature and circumstances proves that there is nothing impossible for a human. Especially when supported by true friends and a vehicle you can rely on in the most extreme situations,” commented Tatiana Khalyavskaya, marketing director at Toyota Motor Russia.

Mahindra declared as the Most Improved Passenger brand for 2016 MAHINDRA South Africa has reason to celebrate after a strong showing in the annual dealer satisfaction survey conducted by the National Automobile Dealers’ Association of South Africa (NADA). The results of the survey were announced at a gala dinner last week. Mahindra was acknowledged as the Most Improved Passenger Brand by its dealers in the dealer survey, while it also received a Bronze Award for overall dealer satisfaction. The 2016 survey encompassed a total of 39 independently researched brands, and the results were compiled from more than 1 500 responses received from NADAaccredited franchise dealers, of which 1 329 were submitted by passenger car/light commercial vehicle dealerships. The survey is based on the answers to 50 key questions based on every facet of the relationship between dealers and their OEMs and or Distributors. Mahindra was in the top 25 percent of responses to key aspects such stock availability, vehicle deliveries, warranty payments and CSI recognition. Compared to the 2015 survey, Ma-

hindra moved up eight places with an overall score of 65,7 percent. It showed the most improvement of all brands as far as Dealer Communication and Customer Focus were concerned. It also achieved a top five spot for Vehicle Distribution, and was among the top 10 brands in the Dealer Satisfaction category. “Our performance in the 2016 NADA Dealer Satisfaction Awards highlights just one of several strategies to ensure the consistent progress of the brand in South Africa. “We continue to expand and improve the Mahindra model offering, and are also placing a particular emphasis on achieving ever higher levels of dealer satisfaction which ultimately results in improved customer satisfaction,” said Sanjoy Gupta, Chief Executive Officer from Mahindra South Africa. “Mahindra SA recently reached an important milestone when overall retail sales in SA since 2004 surpassed the 30 000 mark. We are convinced that the brand and its products have a bright future in SA.”

Hospital promotes breast feeding T

HE Port Shepstone Regional Hospital is holding a breastfeeding awareness campaign which runs until 7 August. Hospital spokesperson Phumza Morai said the reason breast feeding is promoted is that studies have shown that exclusive breast feeding from birth to six months has many health benefits for infants. “We recognise that breast feeding saves lives, especially for our vulnerable newborns that may be born prematurely or with a low birth weight,” said Morai. To start the campaign on Monday, nursing staff from the obstetric units gave health education and addressed questions. The hospital has also

opened a human breast milk bank where established breast-feeding mothers express extra milk and donate it to babies who need it. “We call upon breast-feeding moms who want to make a difference in the lives of vulnerable babies to donate milk to our breast milk bank,” said Morai. Mothers who wish to donate can contact Sister Sotyayo in the nursery ward on 039 688 6000. – Supplied.

Third leg of MTB Classic coming up

>> Routes also include some testing yet rewarding ascents totalling 800m of climbing

OUNTAIN bikers from across the province are gearing up to join the KwaZulu-Natal South Coast’s off-road cycling fraternity at the 2016 Sappi Scottburgh MTB Race on Sunday, 14 August. The launch of the five-race South Coast MTB Series earlier this year has seen a heightened interest in the region’s major cycling events and the series “sea” leg again promises to offer participants a unique, coastal MTB experience as they soak up the magnificent winter weather. Organised by the Cycling for Mobility team, the Sappi Scottburgh MTB Race serves as the primary fund raiser for the organisation that strives to purchase and distribute wheelchairs to disabled members of underprivileged communities in the area. Starting and finishing at Scottburgh main beach, all three of the event’s races – the 45km Sappi Scottburgh MTB Race, 28km Dash and Splash and the 10km family fun ride – give riders a spectacular scenic cycling adventure as they wind their way through the region’s variety of terrains. From the single track through Sappi’s Canonbrae plantations, meandering jeep track through the region’s

The Sharks’ backline depth is less impressive. Wandile Mjakaevu and Lukhanyo Am, who were on loan to the Southern Kings, are back but fullback Rhyno Smith has returned to the Leopards. Leopards and Junior Springbok flyhalf Bernhad Janse van Rensburg has joined youngsters Garth April, Curwin Bosch and Inny Radebe in the squad. Missing are Springbok squad members Pat Lambie, Lwazi Mvovo, Beast Mtawarira and Coenie Oosthuizen while Willie le Roux, JP Pietersen, Joe Pietersen, Paul Jordaan, Marcell Coetzee and Kyle Cooper have joined overseas clubs.

Routes also include some testing yet rewarding ascents totalling 800m of climbing together with some fast and furious downhill stretches as well as natural forest sections, switchbacks and some open district road rid-

ing. While much of the top class event competitors have come to expect and enjoy in recent years remains the same, organisers continue to tweak things – such as the addition of a bridge

over a particularly troublesome gully – to ensure they continually raise the bar. Curiously, the event has never enjoyed a multiple men’s winner with the likes of Shaun Peschl and Andrew Warr (both Kargo Pro Cycling Team), Nic Porteous, the late Burry Stander, Evan van der Spuy, Tyronne White (PYGA Industries/Thule) and Brendon Davids (Trek SA) all having claimed just a solitary crown. An equally remarkable trend exists on the women’s front, with a South Coast local having claimed victory in six of the seven Scottburgh clashes to have been staged to date since the event’s washed out debut in 2008. Hayley Smith (Kargo Pro Cycling Team) remains the race’s only multiple champion while the likes of Bianca Haw (Red Bull/Specialised), Cherise Stander, Brenda Potts and Candice Parker-Dennison have also claimed the ladies’ spoils previously. Over and above the 10km family fun ride, the 2016 Sappi Scottburgh MTB Race also offers the family friendly Halfway Toyota Kids Zone, managed by teachers from Umkomaas Pre-school, ensuring the family can enjoy their dose of the South Coast’s fresh air and warm sunshine. “In sponsoring the entire South Coast series, we believe the MTB fraternity will continue to recognise our destination as an ideal cycling and adventure venue,” said Ugu South Coast Tourism CEO, Justin Mackrory. - Supplied.

Follow your dreams and passions. Don’t ever be afraid to ask for advice. Be true to your products and be true to your clients. Also, try not to over-sell and under-deliver, but most of all be real, honest and love what you do. Remember, hard work always pays off. On a serious note, cash flow is always a hurdle. If you are not a money or figure person, get the right person to help you because this can lead to the ruin of many small businesses starting up. - Melanie Hawken, LoA founder and editor-in-chief.

THE KZN Factory Shop was a “bucket wish list” wish for me and often bucket wish lists don’t become reality until you finally reap what you sow! Most people have dreams and that is where they sadly remain. So I went out and made my dream a reality. I usually preach to people because I have practical experience. You really need to have a passion for what you want and go out and own it. The thing I love most about my little gold mine (shop) is that most South Africans do not have the money to buy quality products because it is unaffordable to living standards in South Africa. However, locals stroll through my shop and I hear “wow”, then pick up something, go to the till point, pay and still have money left for food, that is what I call, not just success, but that I have succeeded.
