South Africans also took time through out the year to remember Nelson Mandela and do their bit to fulfill his legacy.

Another issue raised was that security had closed one of the illegal ranks - Standerton (Ryder Street, Port Shepstone) - and left the other open, which is operated by the opposing association. The MEC condemned the action

taken by the security officers. He said however, this action should not have caused havoc at the rank, instead the associations should have decided on whether to close both ranks or allow both illegal ranks to continue operating. Mchunu said he is not against the suggestion, however he is against associations having private security. “If every association gets its own private security company it will be a problem. The reason being the security company for a certain association will only follow the rules of that associ-

ation and that will create a bigger problem between the associations.” The MEC said as government their aim is to eliminate incidents of violence and conflict in the taxi industry, and this is a pragmatic case of rooting out threats to the safety of people. Taxis are working as normal and security officers’ duty at the rank has been put on hold until further notice. Police spokesperson LieutenantColonel Zandra Wiid said 33 suspects were arrested and weapons - firearms, knobkieries and sticks - were confiscated.

Onceinalifetime chance for ‘Idols’ fans

EC of Transport Willies Mchunu expressed disappointment at the resistance demonstrated by taxi operators in Port Shepstone. The taxi owners are protesting against security measures that have been introduced at the main taxi rank to maintain law and order and protect commuters. This after violent action and protests that took place at Port Shepstone

taxi rank last week leaving commuters stranded. Mchunu said the visit was for him to hear why taxi operators don’t want the security personnel he brought in a week ago to monitor the taxi rank to eradicate the violence and other action affecting commuters. At the meeting operators were given an opportunity to explain why they do not want the security officers and to come up with a solution to the problem. Operators said there was lack of communication from the transport

Rapist receives hefty sentences CANDYCE KRISHNA >>candyce.krishna@media24.com

24-YEAR-OLD man was sentenced to two life terms in prison at the Pietermaritzburg High Court on Friday after he was found guilty of robbery and rape. Siyabonga Mthanti received an additional 15 years for the robberies.

Two of the women were from Port Shepstone and one from Durban. He lured the women through job advertisments on social media. Mthanti tricked the Durban woman into meeting him for an “interview” after she applied for a job. During their meeting, he held the woman at knife point and robbed her of her cellphone and cash. She managed to escape and was not raped.

Woman killed in taxi accident A ST Faiths woman died when a taxi rolled down a bank on St Faiths Road on Monday. Two others were injured. Emergency services responded to the scene, and on arrival found the taxi lying upside down on a small embankment in the Mehlomnyama area. On assessment paramedics found the motionless body of the woman, who is yet to be officially identified by family.

He said he was unaware that a permit is needed to be in possession or even transport the plants. Piet Massyn from KZN Enzemvelo Wildlife was summoned and charged the man for being in possession of protected plants without a permit, Act 10/2004 section 56(d). “We want to issue a stern warning

The second and third victims, from Port Shepstone, were also responding to job opportunities posted by Mthanti on a website. She was robbed of two cellphones and cash at knife-point and was raped and stabbed. The third victim was robbed of two cellphones, and raped. All the incidents took place in Pietermaritzburg between June 2015 and January 2015. PHOTO: SUPPLIED

The woman had already succumbed to multiple, fatal injuries. Nothing more could be done for her and she was declared dead on scene. The other injured passengers were taken to a nearby clinic.

A 55-YEAR-OLD man appeared in Port Shepstone court on Friday on charges of rape, sexual assault and displaying pornographic material to minor children. The man will remain in custody until his bail application on Friday. It is alleged that the man, who lived close to his eight victims, all aged between four and 10, at Msikaba ward in Betania, would lure them to his house and play games with them using a sex toy. He also allegedly touched and penetrated them. The man was arrested on 31 March by Lieutenant Simphiwe Shusha from Port Shepstone detectives. Captain Jurie Meyer and Warrant Officer Fritz Edwards from Port Shepstone SAPS assisted him with the arrest.

SAPS investigate Marburg hijacking A 33YEAROLD motorist was hijacked on Oscar Borcher’s Road in Marburg on Friday when he stopped at a stop sign. The driver alleges that two men opened the doors of his vehicle and jumped in “They allegedly pointed a knife at him and told him to drive. While in Marburg, they forced him out of the vehicle and drove off,” said police spokesperson LieutenantColo nel Zandra Wiid. The following day, Constables Sandile Mpisane, Subisiso Cele and Selby Cele acted on information and proceeded to Mkho lombe where they recovered the vehicle. The black GWM was found abandoned in the area.

Price of milk to escalate AS consumers continue to grapple with high food prices triggered by the drought and the ailing economy, milk will soon be added to their list of costly staple foods. Dairy farmers are currently facing production shortages and will likely run into supply issues in the coming months. Consequently, some dairy processors are already paying commercial farmers 60 cents more per litre on average for milk to ensure consistent supply in winter. Poor pasture conditions due to the drought and the sharply higher grain prices have squeezed margins at farm level and the increase should help improve the situation. The price is expected to further increase in May and will hike operating costs for the entire milk value chain, leaving retailers with no choice but to increase the price that consumers pay for milk and dairy products. Paul Makube, senior agricultural economist at FNB says the price of milk is determined by demand and supply from the market. However, because dairy farmers are price takers, they do not set the market price. Instead, when there are supply issues, milk processors often increase the price paid to dairy farmers to guarantee supply as they cater for the domestic and export markets. “The challenge we are currently facing is that most dairy farmers are still recovering from the impact of the drought and will not be able to produce enough milk in the short-term,” explains Makube. While South Africa does source certain dairy products from other countries, this did not help to alleviate increasing prices

as the weaker Rand in the past few months made imports more expensive despite lower international prices. Furthermore, the electricity tariff increase coming into effect this month will severely drive up input costs for farmers and milk processors as they heavily rely on equipment that consumes a lot of energy. On a positive note, the recent rains across the country in the past few weeks will go a long way to improve grazing conditions in the short term. The return of normal weather patterns in the new crop season should enable farmers to rebuild their herds and improve production from the current levels. This will play a key role in stabilising the price of milk and dairy products next year. Makube says as electricity costs continue to increase it will be important for commercial and small scale dairy farmers to explore sustainable and technology driven means to reduce energy consumption and costs, as this has a huge impact on their profit margins. For instance, some commercial farmers are successfully using alternative energy solutions like solar power during peak hours when tariffs are at their highest. When implemented in conjunction with milking schedules, solar power can go a long way to reduce operating costs for dairy farmers. Dairy products play an important role in the diet of consumers. Therefore, an increase in the price of milk will put more pressure on the already stretched disposable income, pressurising them to spend wisely and cut back on luxuries. - Supplied.

MANABA resident, who has lived in the area for 30 years, say she is disheartened at the way the area has been left to deteriorate. Wendy Crow brought some of the issues to the Hibiscus Coast Municipality’s attention, but they have not acted on them. Rubble from pothole repairs have been left on the side of Manaba beach road since October. “It is an eyesore for residents and holidaymakers who frequent the area. “There are several holiday flats in the area.

Crow said she knows of two elderly people who have tripped and fallen along the paving on the beach front as it is uneven. “This is dangerous and somebody could get seriously hurt,” she said. In Porter Road, two street lights were placed right next to each other by the contractor. “I don’t see the need for this. The question is, does anybody follow up on workmanship once a job has been done, or are contracts just awarded and forgotten about?” . Spokesperson for Hibiscus Coast Municipality, Nomusa Zulu, said the old streetlight pole had rotted.

“This is the reason why a new streetlight pole was installed to replace the old light. “As soon as a crane truck becomes available, the old streetlight pole will be removed,” she said. “Unfortunately, it’s not possible to cut it down, as there’s risk of it falling and causing damage to private property, hence we are waiting for the crane,” she added. With regards to the rubble that was left behind, she said the contractor who was commissioned to work on the road in Manaba had undertaken to remove the rubble by end of business on Wednesday (yesterday).

FOR many motorists, the fuel price is merely a figure on a pump at a fuel station. According to the Automobile Association: “The cost of this essential commodity is made up of many different costs that, together, constitute what is commonly referred to as the petrol price.” In South Africa this price is adjusted monthly based on a number of factors, mainly international petroleum prices, and the rand-dollar exchange rate. As of Wednesday, Ninety-three octane went up by 86 cents per litre, and 95 octane by 88 cents per litre. The price of diesel increased by between 95.7 cents and 97.7 cents a litre‚ while paraffin will cost 76 cents a litre more, and liquid petroleum gas costs 10 cents more per kilogram. The Energy Department said the strengthening of the Rand against the US dollar during the review period had cushioned the fuel price increases by close to 10 cents a litre. With the fuel levy now at R2.85, the projected revenue from the tax for 2016/17 is expected to be R54 billion, the AA said – up 11.6% from R48.4 billion before. How it works The Basic Fuel Price (BFP) is calculated based on costs associated with shipping petroleum products to South Africa from the Mediterranean area, Arab Gulf, and Singapore, reports the AA. These costs include insurance, storage, and wharfage, the cost to use harbour facilities when off-loading petroleum products into storage facilities. Other costs affecting the SA fuel price include: • Transport costs (from the harbour to other areas) • Customs and excise duties • Retail margins paid to fuel station owners • Secondary storage costs • Fuel levy • Road Accident Fund (RAF)

Horse roams Gamalakhe streets

No load shedding expected this winter

FEVER REPORTER A HORSE, allegedly belonging to a farmer in KwaXaba, was recently seen roaming the streets of Gamalakhe during the day and often late in the night. Residents greatest concerns was that the horse was left to roam unattended and at times children play with the horse pulling the rope tied around its neck. The Fever spoke to residents in the area where the horse feeds, who said it has been almost a year since it was first seen and it was much smaller then. SPCA Lower South Coast was contacted to do an investigation on the ownership of this horse as rumours suggest the horse may have been stolen. Tsara Tickton of SPCA Lower South Coast said the SPCA gets call about animals roaming the streets, but have not received any calls regarding this specific horse. “We get so many calls about animals being out of their properties, but there really isn’t too much we can do if the owners are known, however we

IF you’re concerned there may be load shedding as we near autumn and winter, you can breathe a sigh of relief as Eskom says it does not intend to implement any scheduled power outages. Eskom’s Group Chief Executive Brian Molefe said the power system has been stable since August 2015. “This has resulted in seven months of no load shedding. Our prognosis is that there will be no load shedding for summer, autumn and going into winter,” he said. Molefe said the power system has been stable throughout the last quarter due to the “Tetris” maintenance planning tool. “We will continue with a rigorous programme of planned maintenance without implementing load shedding while also minimising use of open cycle gas turbines,” he said.

Molefe said the Majuba power station, Eskom’s second largest power plant, is running with all its six units on load. “The last time Majuba ran with six units on load was in November 2014 when the station experienced a coal storage silo collapse,” he said. A short-term solution was implemented with coal being fed through an elevated mobile boom feeder. “Designs for a permanent solution have been completed and the contract was awarded in December 2015. Work commenced in January and is expected to be complete by December 2017.” These include the reinstatement of the damaged silo and the associated coal conveyor system as well as the reinforcement of the two other coal silos. “We are continuously exploring opportunities to accelerate the schedule in order to achieve earlier completion of the project.”

THIS year, World Health Day on Thursday, 7 April will focus on increasing awareness about the rise in diabetes. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), the condition appears to be a problem in low and middle- income countries. About 350 million people worldwide have diabetes and this number is likely to double in the next 20 years. Dr George Verghese at Port Shepstone Hospital gave the following advice on the condition. • What is diabetes? Diabetes is a medical condition resulting from the inability of the body to properly utilise the carbohydrates we consume in our diet. • Explain the two different types? There are two types of diabetes - Type 1 and Type 2. Type 1 diabetes affects younger patients (usually two to 30 years of age) and is the result of total absence of insulin production by the pancreas. Type 2 diabetes usually affects patients 40 and above. In these patients insulin is produced by the pancreas, but the body does not respond to the insulin. This is known as insulin resistance. Insulin resistance gradually develops over the years and is the result of a sedentary life style, excessive weight gain, truncal obesity and a lack of exercise. Some patients might have a genetic predisposition to the development of Type 2 diabetes. • How does diabetes affect the body if untreated? Untreated or poorly controlled diabetes affects every organ in the body and can result in blindness (diabetic retinopathy), heart disease (heart attacks), kidney failure (diabetic nephropathy), poor wound healing, gangrene of the legs due to poor blood supply and loss of sensation in the lower legs, etc. Extremely high levels of blood sugar can lead to a condition called diabetic ketoacidosis, coma and death unless urgently treated. • What are the symptoms of diabetes? Diabetes presents as excessive thirst, excessive urination, and increased appetite with tiredness and weight loss. Early diabetes may go undiagnosed for several months or

years and regular blood sugar measurements would pick it up early and treatment can then be started before complications set in. • What are the risks of dia betes in children? Children usually have Type 1 diabetes and need to take insulin injections three to four times a day. All these complications above can occur in children as well if the diabetes is not properly controlled. Children are at a higher risk of developing low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), which needs to be recognised by the care giver, and if sugar solution is not given in time they can go into a deep coma with resultant brain damage. • Is diabetes hereditary? There is a strong hereditary element to Type 2 diabetes. But a sedentary lifestyle (lack of exercise) and a high body mass index predispose adults to early development of Type 2 diabetes. The excessive consumption of junk food high in sugars (fizzy drinks, potato fries, hamburgers, etc.) lead to truncal obesity which in turn leads to early onset of Type 2 diabetes. A modern lifestyle is one of the most important factors in the development of Type 2 diabetes. • What diet should you fol low once diagnosed? A diabetics diet consists of complex carbohydrates which should constitute 1/4 of the plate. Vegetables constitute 1/2 of the plate and proteins constitute the remainder. Small portions (use a small plate) reduce sudden peaks of blood sugar. Meals can be taken in small portions four to five times a day instead of big portions two to three times a day. All vegetables and proteins are

good for diabetics. Carbohydrates must be minimised and complex carbohydrates (whole-wheat bread, brown rice) both replace refined carbohydrates. • Is exercise important for a diabetic? Exercise is one of the most important aspects of the management of diabetes. It helps to reduce appetite, increases insulin sensitivity thereby reducing insulin resistance, and helps with weight control. The basic minimum is walking for 30 minutes three times a week. • What is the treatment for diabetes? The most important aspect of the management of diabetes is exercise, appropriate diet (avoiding all refined carbohydrates and eating small portions) and weight reduction. These three steps are called lifestyle changes. In addition to these changes the doctor might prescribe tablets or insulin injections depending on the severity of the diabetes. The patient will also have to monitor their blood sugar on a daily basis and keep a diabetic diary. Please explain that diabetes is life-threatening and should not be ignored. I know of many people who know they are diabetic, yet still don’t take their medication. Please urge them to follow doctor’s orders. “Diabetes is a silent killer. You do not feel anything, but it constantly damages the organs inside your body. The most important aspect of diabetes management is for the patient to implement lifestyle changes and take responsibility for their health. They have to comply with the medication prescribed and take them exactly as advised by the doctor,” said Verghese.

Food, clothing, household items, jewellery and the like are on display. The market is held from 9am to 3pm. On Saturday many shopped and socialised and found what they were looking for.

PORT Shepstone Baptist Church officially opened its charity shop Hidden Treasure on Friday. Pastor John Grubb said the shop is an other way the church shows how much they strive to assist the community. Pastor Clem and his wife Phyl Geotsch blessed the charity shop at the opening. “The treasure shop is a shop where ev eryone who goes inside finds the hidden treasure of God they will never be the same,” said Clem. Hidden Treasure charity shops national developer, May Shenton, who came all the way from Edenvale in Johannesburg, thanked everyone for their support. Shenton said they have opened many similar shops, the aim of which is to grow God’s Kingdom by raising funds for theolog ical students, pastoral families, widows in need and many other needs the church identifies. “This is serious work and it need every

TOURISM 360 Getting our value right

LAST week I went on a recce of the North Coast to ascertain how busy the tourism sector was there in comparison to our neck of the woods. Based on my observations, the huge malls and beachfront hospitality properties in nighttime Ballito were very quiet where as the evening before in Margate, there was much more of a midweek holiday vibe. In

some instances restaurants in the afore mentioned malls were not even open and it was still school holiday time. I then went to one or two recognisable accommodation establishments whose of fering is similar to here on the South Coast. One had the audacity to suggest an over night rate of R2 000 whereas down here the rate would be

R1 000 or less. I was not staying over night, but nonetheless felt that our hospi tality industry here has got its pricing at suit able levels and in the medium term, the con sumer will make booking choices based on the value formoney factor. Family beach activations up north did not appear to have the sort of value adding entertainment and variety of programmes

that were evident down here and my im pression is that our holistic approach to wards meeting customer demand is on the right track. A few weeks back, a friend of mine, whose son lives in the Mother City, selected a property near Port Edward for his river and lagoonside wedding. Asked why this choice and the answer was logical good chance of fine weather, beautiful setting and the bank balance will not be amputated. More and more I am hearing this senti ment from the public.

Dog on the Couch

sleeping on beds and sharing meals. Even coffee, tea and alcohol are quite often shared. A psychologist friend of mine uses the phrase “sharing is caring” when teaching children empathy. This applies to other humans, but sharing human food with our pets is not kind and can end disastrously. There is not only the question of quantity to consider, but the suitability or otherwise. Most of us will readily recognise the signs of an over-fed dog, but few know that dogs and cats are not able to metabolise certain foods that we eat. Unlike humans, dogs and cats are carnivores. That aside, a great deal of what we humans have become accustomed to is junk that we will favour our dogs by excluding from their diets. In so doing, you will not exclude your dog’s affection, which is what many people wrongly imagine they are doing when they share chocolate, cake, chips and so on with their dogs, effectively training the dog to expect to be handed the unhealthy and harmful food each time it is indulged in. Perhaps the maternal instinct plays a part as well, substituting a cuddly,

over-padded pet for a plump rounded baby - which of course would itself be better off excluded from the junk food. It is documented that the life expectancy of overweight dogs and cats is 25% (three to four years) less than their slim counterparts (Kealy et al 2002). Research shows that “slim” dogs and cats are less likely to suffer health and related risks such as bone and joint stress, greater general anaesthetic risk, heatstroke, diabetes mellitus Type II, obesity induced insulin resistance, cystitis (cats), urinary incontinence (dogs), liver disorders (cats), non-allergic skin conditions, impaired ability to groom, reduced resistance to infection and disease, constipation, delayed wound healing after surgery, difficulty giving birth, pancreatitis, mammary cancer, heart disease, high blood pressure which can cause strokes and respiratory problems. If you are able to feel the ribs without them being visible is a sign that your dog is at a healthy weight. The dog should have a distinct “waist” where the body narrows, just behind the rib cage and in front of the hindquarters, when viewed from above. When viewed from the side, a dog’s abdomen

should appear to be slightly tucked up behind the rib cage. If a dog has fat deposits over its back and at the base of its tail, or if it lacks a waist or an abdominal tuck, there is probably a weight problem. A weight gain of as little as one kilogram in a small dog is the equivalent of eight kilograms in a 55kg human. If you need to put your pet on a diet, it is important to be patient with reductions in weight. Ideally, weight loss should only be one to two percent per week which will amount to 100g per week in a 10kg dog. Weight gain often occurs when there is an imbalance in the amount of calories ingested and expended. Therefore, an exercise programme to increase the amount of calories burnt is useful not only physically but mentally. This however needs to be done in consultation with your vet. The diet also needs to be adjusted to a caloriecontrolled one which has low fat to reduce calories, low GI carbohydrates for sustained energy release, moderately-fermentable fibres such as beetpulp for intestinal conditioning and L-carnitine to burn excess fat and preserve lean muscle.

Dear Susan, I HAVE been told by the vet that my dog is too fat. The vet suggested one of those expensive diets. The amount I am supposed to give her is so little, she is starving. She much prefers the table scraps and food we’ve always given her. I would rather her be a bit overweight and enjoy her life. I am wondering whether this isn’t just a sales tactic to sell the vet brand foods. What would you suggest I do? A.R. Dear A.R., Loving owners want their pets to be part of the family.

Additional bills can occur from medical emergencies and treatments linked to overfeeding. In fact, feeding and treating pets with inappropriate food has been found to cost UK petowners around £215 million a year. An increase in obesity-related claims over the past few years is so serious that some pet insurers are considering cutting pay-outs for obese pets. Certain pet insurers already include clauses stating that pets not in a “normal healthy state” at the initial time of cover cannot later claim for related injury or illness. Don’t spoil your dog by feeding scraps from the table. You will train him to expect these bad supplements to his proper eating regimen, and when things go wrong you will have to stop to bad habits, which is not easy on you or your dog. Feeding table food to a pet that is already receiving a nutritionally balanced pet food changes the carefully formulated balance of the pet’s proper diet. Indiscriminate feeding of treats and other ‘titbits’ is a major cause of excess weight gain. It may help to give a comparison a slice of bacon, which may be considered a “little treat”, eaten by a five kilogram dog would be equivalent to an average sized man eating five slices of bacon. LOOK NOW! If you need to change bad habits, give your pets toys to play with or feed them their proper food at the same time the family eats.

Madiba’s words

criminals are caught and serve long sentences, scrapping the quota system and ensuring we have responsible affirmative action and a professional public service, and increasing penalties for corruption. I will replace the culture of patronage, entitlement, corruption, bribes, quotas, strikes, burning and extortion with that of merit, hard work, training, skills, co-operation, patience, enterprise, distribution, competition, savings and investment. This will reduce unemployment, increase real wages and enable free tertiary education. I thus appeal to the Guptas over the heads of the ANC - isn’t it better for them that they have a slice of an expanding pie rather than a slice of an ever-shrinking pie?

IF the overwhelming majority of ANC MPs voted to show their confidence in President Jacob Zuma, then obviously voters’ feelings don’t matter to them anymore. If the ANC will not do anything about Zu ma replacing finance ministers and costing South Africa R500billion, then there is nothing we can do except oust the ANC as the ruling party. Not voting by disappointed ANC support ers is only half as effective as making the ef fort to vote for another party. The great Nelson Mandela once said: “If the ANC does to you what the apartheid gov ernment did to you, then you must do to the ANC what you did to the apartheid govern ment.” The apartheid regime never listened to the majority in SA and the Zumaled ANC does not either. Let’s honour the memory of Madiba at the 2016 polls.

IE algemene jaarvergadering van die Afrikaanse Handels-instituut Laer Suidkus is verlede week by die Port Shepstone-buiteklub gehou. Hilton O’Dwyer het die Fever meegedeel dat daar verslag gedoen is oor die skakeling met nasionale, provinsiale en plaaslike byeenkomste van die Handels-instituut. Daar is spesifiek gepraat oor regstreekse toegang tot die land se presidensie wanneer sakebelange ernstig geraak word. O’Dwyer sê die plaaslike tak het die afgelope jaar ‘n identiteit van vriendskap en samehorigheid gevorm, met die doel om ‘n “positiewe gesindheid oor ons plaaslike ekonomie, en die geleenthede wat die Suidkus bied, te kweek”. Die AHILS skakel goed met ander sake-liggame soos die South Coast Chamber of Commerce and Industry, die Port Shepstone Business Forum,

Hoe om passievol te lewe MAREE CLARKSON ‘n KLOMPIE jare terug was my lewe, om die minste te sê, uiters vaal, on benullig, ongelukkig en rigtingloos.

Ek het op ‘n artikel afgekom om trent “living with passion”, en hierdie woorde, “Living with passion is about creating and experiencing joy in as many aspects of life as possi ble”, het my na my eie lewe met nuwe oë laat kyk.

STILTETYD: ‘Ekkerige’ mense ONS het almal al ‘n “ekkerige” mens ontmoet. Dit pynig jou om in sulkes se geselskap te wees. Sulke mense praat gedurig oor hulself. Die woordjie “ek” word kwistig gebruik. Hulle spieël hulself gedurig in die opinie van andere. Hulle is jaloers op ander se sukses. Hulle loop ander uit die pad, maar kan self geen kritiek hanteer nie. Hulle kan geen terugvoer oor hul swak optrede hanteer nie, maar sien dit net as negatiewe kritiek. Hulle sal jou druk todat jy hul siening oor sake onderskryf. Hulle dring daarop aan om met eerbied en respek hanteer te word. Dalk sê u dadelik dat u sulke mense ken. Die punt is dat die Bybel ons altyd oproep om eers hand in eie boesem te steek voor ons die fout by ander soek. Van nature is ons almal maar “ekkerige mense”. Die beste voorbeeld hiervan is seker in die gelykenis van die Fariseër en die tollenaar in Lukas 18:9-14. Hier vertel Jesus ons ‘n verhaal oor ‘n “ekkerige” mens wat homself altyd na onder toe gemeet

O K om

het. As mens jou meet aan ander wat slegter, of minder opgevoed, of dommer as jy is, sal jy altyd die beste daarvan afkom. Die Fariseërs was in Bybelse tye mense met ‘n opgeblase ego. Die tollenaars was die gestigmatiseerde mense, die mense wat jy afgeskryf het as brandhout vir die vuur. Ekkerige mense soos die Fariseërs het min deernis met ander gehad. Hulle het opgehou met selfondersoek en hulself gemeet aan die tekortkominge van ander. Is baie van die spanning tussen groepe en individue in ons land nie dalk hieraan te wyte nie? Ons skryf outobiografieë oor onsself terwyl ons ander beskinder en karaktermoord pleeg. Ons moet eerder die gesindheid van Christus afbid, wat gekom het nie om sy eie beeld te poets nie, maar ander se voete te was. Jesus was die teenpool van “ekkerigheid”. En jy?

WOUTER WILLEMSE GESPREKKE in die Watergat die afgelope week is oorheers deur een onderwerp: die Grondwethof se bevindings oor Nkandla en President Zuma se reaksie daarop. Dit het verlede Vrydag begin toe ons besig was om te kyk na die rugbywedstryd tussen die Lions en die Crusaders. Een van ons televisiestelle in die een hoek was ingestel op die Kyknetnuusbulletin, en ons het agtergekom dat President Zuma skielik op die skerm verskyn het en die land toespreek. Ons het al die TVs na die nuus oorgeskakel, want die bedanking van ‘n president is tog belangriker as ‘n SupeRugby-wedstryd. Of hoe? Ewenwel, die teleurstelling het stelselmatig opgebou onderwyl ons agtergekom het ons word weereens vir gekke gehou. Hoe is dit moontlik dat ‘n president, al is dit iemand met ‘n bedenklike integriteits-geskiedenis, die intelligensie van sy mense so kan onderskat? “Ek is so verskriklik jammer, ek het geen bybedoelings gehad nie, ek het heeltyd gesê ek sal betaal,” ens. ens. Ná 10 minute het ons genoeg gehad en teruggeskakel na die rugby. In die talle besprekings daarna is baie menings uitgespreek oor waarom hy hoegenaamd nog oorleef. Myns insiens is hy polities reeds morsdood, en die tyd is nog nie reg vir die ANC om hom te laat loop nie weens talle oorwegings soos die komende verkiesing, en die houvas wat hy nog op sleutelmense het weens die krag van sy patronaat. Die politiek het egter sy eie rëels, en wanneer die kritieke oomblik aanbreek, sal sy party hom “slag” soos die Nasionale Party met John Vorster en PW Botha gedoen het.

allie

En die Tories met Margaret Thatcher. Een van ons besoekers, Joos Pieterse van Roodepoort, was erg omgekrap omdat hy oor die Paasnaweek op pad na Port Shepstone twee bande stukkend gery het deur ‘n vierkantige gat in die pad waar die provinsiale owerheid teer uitgehaal het sodat die pad herstel kon word. “Daardie gat was in die middel van die rybaan, en hulle het nie die moeite gedoen om waarskuwingstekens aan te bring of om dit af te kamp nie,” het Joos uitgevaar. “Talle ander motoriste het dieselfde ervaring gehad, en toe ek by die munisipaliteit beswaar aanteken, sê hulle vir my dis nie hulle verantwoordelikheid nie, maar die provinsie s’n.” Verskeie plaaslike inwoners het dieselfde ervaring gehad, met dieselfde gevolge. Ná die Paasnaweek was die werkers terug en is die pad-ryvlak herstel, maar dit was toe te laat. Wie betaal vir die tientalle stukkende bande en wielvellings? Jan Kiepie-publiek. Vandeesweek se storie van die week kom van Daleen Vorster van Newcastle wat saam met haar man Hans ons Sondag-middagete kom geniet het. Klein Koos oefen in die sitkamer met sy viool terwyl Pa Koos in sy slaapkamer probeer om ’n uiltjie te knip. Die gesin se hond lê op ’n matjie voor Pa Koos se bed, maar elke keer wanneer Klein Koos ’n ekstra hoë noot uit die viool wring, vlieg die hond regop en tjank iets allerverskriliks. Pa Koos verduur die hond en die viool so lank as wat hy kan. Toe knak hy, spring vervaard orent en gil soos ’n besetene bokant al die lawaai uit: “Nee vrek, Klein Koos, kan jy dan nie iets speel wat die hond ken nie?’’

HETHER you’re aiming to extend your intellectual horizons or just want a compelling justification for wearing a gaudy tropical shirt. Here are some travel resolutions to consider. Travel, it is said, broadens the mind. It also gets you off the couch, potentially makes you slightly more interesting and, if you do it right, gives you amazing memories to go with that tacky souvenir. So whether you’re aiming to extend your intellectual horizons or just want a compelling justification for wearing a gaudy tropical shirt, consider adopting some travel resolutions for 2016. Edward Frost, British Airways welltravelled commercial manager for South and East Africa, suggests these should at least include some of the following.

Do something different The best experiences often happen when you’re a bit daring. Visit somewhere unusual – British Airways starts flying to St Helena from Johannesburg later this year. Leave the hotel and eat where the locals eat. Speak to strangers and learn to get by in another language. Leave the office behind Use all your leave. Unplug or go somewhere there’s no mobile connectivity or internet access. You don’t need to Instagram every second of your trip. Take a beautiful snap, get it framed and put it on your desk as a reminder of your holiday and inspiration for your next trip. Seize opportunities Leisure travel is an awful contraction, but don’t be put off by the terminology. If you can add a few days to your business trip to see some of the sights, grab the chance. Take advantage If you fly regularly on business join a loyalty programme. You can accumulate rewards for upgrades and even holiday flights. Also consider programmes that benefit your company; it could ensure your next business trip is more comfortable. Know before you go It’s your responsibility to make sure you’ve got the right paperwork for the country you’re visiting and adhere to the local regulations. Check online, ask an expert or someone who’s been before, don’t make assumptions and remember that regulations can change. Suss the short cuts Stop putting it off. Download the airline’s app so you can check in and get your boarding pass on your mobile phone. Use the bag drop to skip the check-in queues and give yourself some extra time to shop for tacky souvenirs. Give and you will receive If things go wrong, being friendly and polite is more likely to get you the outcomes you want, and potentially a bit more, than ranting and raving. Even when things are working as they should, being pleasant will enhance your experience and that of those around you. - Women24

Hastings on Food GARY HASTINGS WILD COAST SUN EXECUTIVE CHEF

ALUTATIONS desiccated Earth warriors. May the cosmos bring abundant nourishment to our parched Earth. Regrettably after two years of consecutive drought with limited crop production and severe food insecurities, towards the end of this year even higher staple food prices are to be expected. Recently, I paid R70 for a small bag of mediocre quality potatoes. The range in the textures and moisture content of each potato was so irregular I had a challenge cooking them. Already since February crop failures have been confirmed in eastern Botswana, southern Zimbabwe, southern Mozambique, Lesotho and Swaziland. While crop conditions have been classified as poor in surplus producing areas of South Africa, Mozambique, Zimbabwe as well as less surplus areas of southern Malawi, northern Namibia, southern Zambia and western Madagascar. It is estimated that this will affect a further four million individuals across Zimbabwe, Malawi, Mozambique Zambia, Lesotho and Madagascar, who will now face food insecurities. The below-average rainy seasons that have significantly impacted crop and livestock production, feed and cereal prices, water availability have also made every day livelihoods more vulnerable. We should not take any short-term improvements into the situation as indication of a solution, as it could be the

onset of a severe famine period that will be characterised by the massive increases in food prices, which are likely to peak in November and December. This will also onset a combination of reduced income, limited stock holdings, serious water shortages which could result in the number of individuals affected by food insecurities to double by February and March 2017. Yes, hard times are certainly ahead of us and it appears we often take too much for granted. When we shop and go up and down the aisles, how many of us really acknowledge the more popular staples and the essence behind them. Take milk for instance, being classified as a dairy product which in turn is responsible for approximately 10% of the world’s nutritional requirements and 20% of its protein requirements. Although South Africa has a low yield in terms of global production it is still considerably higher than most African countries and the importance of becoming more self-sufficient may give way to question our production of wool, tobacco, wine and other commodities on valuable agricultural land. Surprisingly more than 80% of South Africa is dry to semi-arid with unreliable rain fall making most of the country unsuited for intensive agricultural production systems like dairy farming. The most dominant variable in livestock farming is the consistent supply of water and feed for the animals, which relies on the environmental aspects of temperatures, soil types, sun hours and rainfall. Because milk is perishable, distances from production to markets to retailers also needs to be accounted for. Milk production or farming has many spin offs, as it is a major client where agricultural mechanisms such as tractors, irrigation and other necessary equipment, and animal feeds, additionally 40% of all milk produced is converted into yoghurt, cheeses and curdled milk which in turn creates

more job opportunities and increases the total volume of income generated. The tourist trade also plays a major part in the whole process as visitors to our beautiful country consider food a fundamental aspect of their holiday. There is a continuous drive to include previously disadvantaged individuals into all enterprises, including dairy farming although this is a seemingly commendable sentiment. There is however many challenges when it comes to dairy farming. Firstly, gone are the days of starting a project with five or 10 cows in one’s backyard and making it economical viable. In today’s world there are huge financial requirements and emerging farmers must have access to readily available financial support coupled with consistent supportive training with startups having at least 85 cows plus to make it worthwhile and profitable. So now the milk is in our trolley and some appreciation is acknowledged for the countless individuals who started a process months back to give us the ease to take one, half, two litre or six pack in accordance with our requirements. Next to the milk is Flora margarine endorsed by the South African Heart Foundation. It is a brand implemented and marketed by Unilever who after being asked by medical professionals to come up with a healthier alternative to other margarines, lards and hard butters. Flora was originally named after one of Unilever’s marketing directors Louis Flora Catlow who died on 24 June, 2009.

Funeka Mokoena won R2 000 and was selected as the car draw finalist at the Wild Coast Sun on Thursday. The draw takes place every Thursday at 8pm and the car draw will take place on 14 April.

It is a blend of healthy fats including omega three and six, vitamin B6 and B12 together with folic acid it contains plant sterols which reduce the absorption of cholesterol into the blood stream by 40%. It contains very little trans fats and no hydrogenated oils both of which have major health implications. While butter is a natural fat that has been consumed for thousands of years, margarine is purely man-made and when produced is actually grey in colour before it is dyed yellow. Flora also contains palm oil which in turn has been blamed for the loss of hardwood forests that are being cleared for palm oil plantations. While sustainable sources of palm oil are limited and make up a very small percentage of production, flora is committed to using certifiable sustainable resources and is genuinely concerned of any environmental consequences that may arise from production. Next week we will deal with the roaring Simba. It is well known that the truly famous South African milk tart available on most street corners is of course

features curves. • Traditional refers to classic designs from historical periods such as art deco, Victorian or Georgian. Traditional designs work well in homes that have similar architectural elements such as high ceilings, ornate cornices, chandeliers or large bay windows with plush window treatments. Two or three-seaters: A three-seater sofa is a good option as it can accommodate a growing family. One large furniture piece also looks much better in a small room than a few small pieces Covering: Leather is easy to maintain; it can be wiped clean and only needs to be polished about once a year. Good quality leather will also last much longer than fabric. On the flip side, fabric is more versatile and can be reupholstered for a brand new look. • Armchairs Many people now opt for two sofas in their lounge – but two armchairs work just as well. You can select different upholstery for your chairs but they should reflect the style of your sofa if you have one – if your sofa has wooden legs, the armchairs should also have wooden legs. Armchairs are also multifunctional and can be used in any room in the house, from the bedroom to the bathroom (if you have space), which is precisely why they’re considered a good investment. Just as with a fabric sofa, you can also reupholster your armchairs for a whole new look. • Dining table Dining tables are multifunctional – used for everything from homework to parties – and dining room suites are definitely a worthwhile investment. But they do take up a lot of space

so it’s important to choose a style that works with your existing décor or a timeless design that will look good for years to come. The size of your dining room suite will depend on the available space, so keep the following in mind: • The size of your family or the number of guests you usually entertain. • If you buy chairs with broader armrests, you will probably fit fewer people around the table (for example just six around an eight-seater table). • You should also have enough space to be able to pull the chairs out comfortably: a chair needs a square of about 460mm placement space, plus another 460mm behind it so you can push it back to stand up and let someone pass behind you. Don’t forget to check out secondhand options too – old tables usually have loads of character and are a lot cheaper than new pieces. • A patio set Many of us start out with a cheap white plastic table and chairs, but it’s so ugly. Rather invest in a good patio set from the get go – it makes such a huge difference to the look of your patio or garden. The most popular options are wood, artificial wicker and/or cane and aluminum. • Wood is available in various price ranges. Most popular are balau, meranti, saligna and teak. You can leave the wood untreated to take on a weathered look but it’s probably best to oil it, especially if the set is made of imported Indian teak as this wood is accustomed to a humid environment and will crack in our hot, dry weather if not sealed. • Aluminum is ideal for exposed patios as it can withstand the elements - it’s rust and maintenancefree and available in different grades, so buy the best quality you can afford. - Women24.

According to the experts it’s best to manage without, or borrow the necessities from family, and save until you have enough money to buy good quality items.

FEVER

Be a morning person, EVERY MORNING T

HE mood you’re in when you start your day counts. Here are ways to make getting up in the morning just a little more pleasant. • Drink water immediately. According to Coveteur, having a glass of water as soon as you wake is greatly refreshing and also a fantastic way to get your metabolism up and running. • Routine kills you, so kill it first. Doing the same things in the same order at the same time every day can really place a huge damper on your spirit and sense of adventure. Give yourself a reason or reward to get up in the morning. Do something out of the ordinary. Life is a lot more exciting when you live more spontaneously. Changing your daily routine can be as simple as going to your favourite spot for breakfast, or getting something you need do done. • Lay off the alcohol and caffeine. This suggestion may not be a popular one. I get it. Sometimes a glass of late-night Merlot is necessary after a long day’s work. But if you have to be up early the next morning, you’d

used for its hydrating, nourishing and cleansing qualities, aloe vera helps to ease a dry, itchy scalp while creating that perfect glow for your healthy hair. • Leave-in conditioner: according to Naturally Curly, leave-in conditioners are formulated differently. They’re more watery, which is great and causes a lot less build up on your tresses. They also contain humectant, which attracts more moisture to your hair. Here’s a leave-in that is available in stores. • Tea tree oil: we are sure you’ve noted how often tea tree is listed under ingredients of so many products. That’s because the wonderful benefits of this oil is no secret. By simply massaging a few drops into your scalp, you’re nourishing your roots to ensure the greatest surge in hair growth. • Rooibos tea. What could be better than a cup of strong, black rooibos tea to soothe away brittle hair? Greatly enriched with zinc, calcium and potassium, rooibos tea ideal for strong and healthy hair. • Try a new shampoo. Your hair can become immune or intolerant to prod-

be better off swapping that glass of wine for herbal tea. • And no, you can’t watch that last episode. Binge-watching before bed is probably the reason you’re pressing snooze every 10 minutes. Try powering down before bed and avoid checking your phone. It’ll make falling asleep easier and waking up on the first (or second) alarm call a bit more bearable. • Set your coffee machine’s brewing time to your wake-up time. If you have one of those fancy coffee machines, set it’s brewing time to just a few minutes before your alarm time. The smell of brewing coffee will lure you out of bed and your cup of coffee will be ready with minimal effort from you. • Move your alarm clock. If you prefer the sound of your alarm, but it doesn’t quite do the trick to getting you out of bed, try moving it to a desk top or table across the room. This way, you’ll need to get out of bed to turn the alarm off. Is this ridiculously simple or profoundly logical? • If you’re really desperate, a R7 000 watch can wake you up. Waking up to that cacophonous alarm every morning is one of the worst ways to wake up. It tracks your sleeping patterns and vibrates gently when it’s time for you to wake up. - Supplied.

soap is traditionally made West Africa. Its amazing healing properties will eliminate all stubborn and excessive oil and dirt from the hair and scalp. • Brushing from the roots. Remember the time your hair was just too knotty and you decided to start combing it through from the bottom? Turns out that is the best way to go about brushing your hair. Brushing your hair from root to tip and can cause great breakage as the comb moves through all those knots and snags. So, start from the bottom and gently work your way up. If your hair is wet, always opt for a wide tooth comb because your hair is a lot more delicate and prone to breakage. • Shea butter. The cream of all hair creams. If ever you wish to add an extra sealant to your hair, make sure to use a shea butter hair cream to lock in all that moisture. It’s an all-round hair wizard in heat protection, styling and UV, dry and brittle hair and de-tangling. - Women24.

Best hair decisions you’ll ever make OF course, you can pick out a shampoo faster than you can read this sentence, but dealing with the aftermath of using a bad shampoo may take longer than the internet took to revolutionise. This summer, the sun will shine brighter than ever before as this year may be the hottest to date. But being under the harsh rays of the sun can mean a lot of damage to your hair. Here are a few fantastic products and regime tips to try: • Flaxseed: consuming flaxseed is great if you’re a vegetarian. But this is not all. Enriched with Vitamin E, using flaxseed oil as a conditioner or hair mask is perfect for stronger, shinier hair. • Choosing non-sulphate shampoo: the best part of shampooing is making a mo-hawk with all the foam or putting it all over your face to create a father Christmas-like beard. But next time you want to do this, ensure that your shampoo is sulphate-free. Because what that fun foam really is, is strong chemical detergent. • Aloe vera, the miracle plant is the superhero of all hair remedies. Best

GOODBYE GOUT

Port Edward outing FEVER for Trogons 7 April 2016

south coast

"Hi my name is Yogesh Naidoo and I suffered badly from severe gout, mainly in my big toe. I also battle with my joints, suffering pain from past injuries & operations. I want to share my Lifetones story with you.

Birdlife Trogons will visit Culley’s Dam, Port Edward on Sunday, 10 April from 6.30am. Take chairs, breakfast and something to braai for lunch. All wel come. There is a R20 per person charge for nonmembers of Birdlife Trogons. Outings may be cancelled due to weath er, check www.birdlifetrogons.blog spot.com or phone Eric Kok on 039 695 0573 or 072 751 0686 before setting off. For further details and direc tions, phone Kok or visit the blog. Please note text messages or ‘call me’ requests will not be responded to. Let Kok know if you will be attending the outing.

A while ago, my wife walked past the health shop at La Lucia Mall & saw a poster on the window advertising Lifetones. After getting more information from the store, she purchased a bottle for me. I promise you, it was so quick! I stopped suffering from gout and I have not had an attack in ages. My shoes actually became looser for me because the water retention has stopped and I've lost weight too. My skin looks clearer and I feel great. Many people have asked what I am taking because they can see the difference. I am also a diabetic, diagnosed late in life and I take insulin. Fortunately I can take Lifetones in conjunction with my insulin and it does not affect the diabetes medications. I have referred some of my family members to Lifetones and they have seen great results too. My brother in Johannesburg suffers from arthritis in the knees even though he goes to gym & is active. Lifetones has helped his arthritis. My mum has also suffered from severe arthritis after a bad fall, and Lifetones has helped ease her pair and give her some relief. Lifetones has really helped p us all: try y it for y yourself and you'll see!"

War on the Shore returns to Wild Coast >> Expect nonstop action from Rajuli and ‘The Professor’

HE time has arrived for the third chapter of “War on the Shore” encounters at the Wild Coast Sun, Port Edward on Friday 15

April. The event is made possible by Kalakoda Productions in association with Sun International’s Wild Coast Sun and Damascus Fitness Equipment. Top rated Durban boxer, Lee Dyer, shall lead the pack when he takes on DRC’s Erick “Master Blaster” Kazadi in a six round Super Middleweight bout. Dyer has been relatively inactive the past few years, however, he came back strongly recently with a knock-out victory at a tournament in Johannesburg. Dyer will go for broke against the skilful Kazadi with a pro record of five wins and one defeat and one draw. SA Title challenger, the reigning champion, Balemo Weliya, whom hasn’t defended his title for a long time is well advised to start focussing on this fight as both Dyer and Malinga aren’t going to let him dominate. In the main supporting bout of the evening Ruann “The Giant King” Visser, now with a pro record of six wins and one defeat, will take on former DRC Amateur and pro Heavyweight champion Paul “Tonton” Mukela. In Mukela’s words: “I have no conscious. Visser will be nothing more than a miniature dwarf when I’m done with him.” Visser on the other hand just laughed it off. Devan Beckman (former SA Junior heavyweight title challenger) travels to Cape Town for sessions with former unbeaten All Africa champion and Jan “the Giant” Nortje. Marcel Botha fighting out of Ballito, will have his second appearances at War on the Shore, this time taking on the relatively unknown, Trinity Mhlongo from Manden. Botha, in his last encounter at the Wild Coast in January, fought in one of the most exciting Middleweight bouts that has taken place in a long time in South Africa when he and Ayanda Mthembu fought nothing less than an absolute brawl.

Former SA Amateur champion, Siphozakhwe Kunene, sent Kunene a few times to the canvass and really fought a tremendous bout. So he definitely isn’t travelling all the way to Port Edward to loose. Brandon Naudé had a tough bout late last year against the unbeaten Nkosinathi Biyela. Former SA junior Lightweight title challenger, David Rajuli is also out to redeem himself . In his last bout he lost to the reigning SA Champion, Jasper Seroka on a seventh TKO. Rajuli is known for his classic boxing style and yes the man can pack a decent punch. He meets one of the most experienced junior lightweights in the country commonly known as “ The Professor” as he claims he takes all his opponents to school. Expect non-stop action from Rajuli and The Professor. Unbeaten junior heavyweights, Herman Potgieter, meets unbeaten Congolese boxer, Falay Kubeya. Potgieter is unbeaten in six outings while Kubeya is unbeaten in five, so there will be no love lost between these two boxers as neither wishes to see their unbeaten run being blemished by a defeat. Former SA amateur star, Durban based, Mfundisi Ngema, is set to have his second pro outing when he meets Lindokuhle Mhlongo from Mandeni in a four-round bantamweight bout. There’s lots of talk around Ngema expecting him to take on the toughest in the division soon. Expect some furious action from Cape Town’s Nicholas Radley and Uitenhage’s Juan Vosloo in a four-round scheduled light heavyweight bout. Radley, with huge support in Cape Town, recently stopped Prince Nkwaunuka in the first round is an all action fighter . The tournament takes place, Friday the 15 April at the Wild Coast Sun, Port Edward as from 7pm. Corporate tables at R500 per person or table of 10 for R5 000. Other entrance tickets at R50 per person. Contact Petra Bainbridge 039 305 4501 e-mail petra.bainbridge@suninternational.com - Supplied.
