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.

Stink over cash for trash >> 2.4 million tons of waste will be shipped in from Lebanon over a space of 18 months CANDYCE KRISHNA >>candyce.krishna@media24. com

LANS to import 300 000 tons of trash from Lebanon to the Umdoni Municipality landfill site every month have surfaced and have also left many unanswered questions. DA ward councillor, Edwin Baptie, said the item was added to the agenda late at a council meeting in March. It was revealed at the meeting that 2.4 million tons of waste will be shipped in from the war-torn Lebanon over a space of 18 months at $2 (R31.09) per ton. This waste will be stored in the municipal landfill site, which is currently at eight percent capacity. The waste could include organic, plastic, metal and paper waste which has been lying in the middle-eastern country for years. Media reports indicate that other countries, such as Sierra Leone, Russia, and France, have refused to take the waste due to the risk of it carrying viruses and bacteria.

>> Man was on his way to Dubai when he was arrested at King Shaka Airport PRECIOUS GUMEDE >>precious.gumede@Media24.com

PORT Shepstone man, Husain Farouk Motala (37), who was arrested at the King Shaka Airport last week after being found in possession of over R7 million cash in his luggage, is out on bail. Motala was on his way to Dubai and the police arrested him after failing to give an answer to customs officials as to why he was in possession of that much cash in his luggage. Natasha Kara of the National Prosecution Authority said Motala appeared at the Verulam Court and was granted R60 000 bail, with strict conditions. He was

charged in terms of Section 15 of the Customs Excise Act 1991. “Since his passport has already been seized, Motala was not to apply for any new travel documents. He was also told he may not be travel in any public transport, which would enable him to leave South Africa,” said Kara. Motala will be reporting to the Port Shepstone police station three times a week. “He will be reporting to the police station every Monday, Wednesday and Friday as part of the conditions he was given,” she said. The case has been transferred to the Durban Commercial Crimes Court for 2 June.

TWO security officers were shot at Izingolweni Shopping Centre on Thursday night. Its alleged that three armed men went into the centre and shot the onduty security officers. The men then went to a Standard Bank ATM, which they tried to rob, but unsuccessfully. “The suspects damaged the ATM and went to the Brandz outlet in the centre, broke in and stole a number of branded jeans," said police spokesperson Captain Gerald Mfeka. Mfeka said the suspects then broke into Mnandi Meats and stole a large amount of cash from the safe and fled. Brandz manager Sharlene Moodley said they have video footage, which is currently with the police. “We have video footage of the one suspect breaking into the shop and heading straight to the jeans section. He took a number of Levis,” said Moodley. Moodley said they are not sure if that was all he took because they are waiting for stock taking. Mnandi Meats co-owner Shaka Langa said the suspects broke into the safe and took R8 000. No arrests have been made so far. Ezinqoleni SAPS are investigating two attempted murder cases, two business break-ins and a case of malicious damage to property.

Stink over cash for trash “There is no planning around this and no research was presented to ward councillors, although we had asked that homework be done before any decision is made,” said Baptie. He said a brief 15-minute presentation was conducted by a person from a private company, who was apparently in partnership with the municipality. “A week later, an emergency meeting was called and we were asked to make a decision on the matter. Still no research was provided, except that it was a lucrative move,” he said. He said such a project should involve extensive public consultation and an environmental impact report should be conducted. Most people at Umdoni only became aware of the matter after it was reported in the news. Environmental expert, Caroline Schwegman, said the concern was that Umdoni’s dump site simply cannot handle that amount of rubbish coming in every month. “It accepts domestic and garden waste and is already at the end of it’s lifespan. If this waste is recyclable, why does it have to come here [Umdoni]?” she asked. “Will this waste be tested by a laboratory before it is allowed into the country. There may be a risk of it carrying viruses and bacteria,” she said. Speaking to the SABC, Umdoni Municipal manager Xolani Luthuli said no agreements have been signed and the council agreed to give instructions to look into the feasibility of it. He also could not say how much money the municipality could make from the deal if it went ahead. “Now obviously the figures will be indicated through an agreement on the tonnage that we are going to be receiving at a particular time based on that we will be able to calculate the income. We are in the very first stage of this process,” When asked about informing the public, Luthuli told the public broadcaster there is no legislation that obliges the municipality to do so.

MANY unemployed people were excited to hear, following talks and reports released on 11 May, that “government will start giving unemployed people a social grant”. The report said that a monthly grant of R1 420 will be given to unemployed South Africans between the ages of 19 and 59, starting from mid-2017, but the Department of Social Development (DSD) said the claim is false. DSD minister Bathabile Dlamini was apparently quoted in the report as saying that government will ensure that unemployed people in these age groups are able to put food on the table, not that they would get a social grant. In the statement department spokesperson, Lumka Oliphant said the department has not made any pronouncement to this effect. Oliphant said government has examined many international good practices, with a view to move to a new social security dispensation in South Africa. “Government is of the view this will ensure that we achieve adequate social security coverage for all within reasonable cost constraints,” she said She said milestones on the process will be communicated by government in due course. - Supplied.

THE public, businesses and Ugu Jazz Festival organis ing team met for a public consultation meeting at the Ugu Sports and Leisure Centre last Thursday. The purpose was to discuss plans and proposals for the annual Ugu Jazz Festival to be held on 25 June. In the meeting transportation, security issues and other aspects of the event were discussed. Nearby farmers were part of the meeting and raised issues regarding security. Syabulela Ngesi, Ugu Jazz Festival spokesperson said an agreement was reached. “In previous years the farmers complained about security on their farms. That issue was resolved by agreeing with them that security officers will be de ployed to patrol the farms for the duration of the event making sure that no patrons interfere with the farms,” said Ngesi. The issue of road closures was also on the agenda and the organising committee announced which roads will be closed. “A few roads will be closed, Izotsha road will be closed, Knoxgore, the road coming from Shelly Beach, P200 up until Gamalakhe intersection will also be closed and Windgate Road,” said Ngesi. He said the festival time is an issue because many people feel that the event should not go on all night. “The issue of time is always a question, however, we ask the concerned residents to bear with us as it is a onenightonly event. Its better that attendees remain at the event all night rather than them loiter ing around throughout the night,” said Ngesi. Ugu jazz team promised to keep to their agree ment with stakeholders.

PRECIOUS GUMEDE >>precious.gumede@media24.com REVEREND Philani Jula invites the Christian community to his book launch at the Port Shepstone Baptist Church on 21 May at 3pm. Jula said will be launching his book, Christianity and the Sabbath, which he says, speaks about the how irrelevant the sabbath is compared to Christianity as far as Christology is concerned. “The book puts the Old and the New Testaments into context with regard to the sabbath. People should come to the launch and hear why.” For more information, contact Jula on 071 012 6956. Reverend Philani Jula with his book ‘Christianity and the Sabbath’. PHOTO: PRECIOUS GUMEDE

Health FEVER 7 minister frowns upon ‘blessers’ south coast

>> Blesser is another word for ‘sugar daddies’ PRECIOUS.GUMEDE >>precious.gumede@media24.com

OUNG women are going crazy trying to find a “blesser”. The term “blesser” is doing the rounds and has been defined as rich men who shower females with expensive gifts. Social networks are abuzz about the topic, with pages such as “Blesserfinder” appearing. These pages are created for women to “like” and register as blesser seekers. Blessers also use the pages to find blessees. This blesser mentality is found predominantly in black urban circles where blessers have become the top conversation and the rage. According to reports on News24, the Young Communist League of South Africa on Sunday blasted the “blesser” phenomenon saying it was sugar daddies who exploited young women. “The YCLSA expresses itself strongly against

the emerging tendency of ‘blessers’ [euphemism for sugar daddies] as it seeks to encourage transactional sex and victimisation of young women,” the organisation said in a statement following its recent national committee meeting in Johannesburg. “The vulnerability of our sisters should not be preyed on by older men with an unlimited desire for sex with young women in exchange for money and related favours,” said the organisation. On Wednesday night e.tv broadcast a story about blessers following health minister Aaron Motsoaledi announcing a new programme aimed at keeping girls in school, weaning them off sugar daddies, and reducing teenage pregnancy. Motsoaledi outlined the campaign’s objectives during his budget vote in Parliament on Wednesday. He said the plan is also aimed at decreasing infections and keeping girls in school until matric.

RIDAY 13 May was an historic moment for development on the South Coast, with a landmark memorandum of understanding (MOU) being signed between landowners and the KwaCele community. After months of discussion and collaboration, Crookes Brothers Limited – the majority shareholder in Renishaw Property Developments – and leaders from the KwaCele community, compiled a comprehensive MOU which provides a harmonious partnership extending into the future. Through this MOU, Crookes Brothers Limited has shown it is committed to working with the KwaCele community – who have been living on the land surrounding Scottburgh since 1830 – in a meaningful way.

Ugu staff unhappy with work conditions CANDYCE KRISHNA >>candyce.krishna@media24.com THIRTY workers from the Ugu District Municipality downed tools and took to the streets of Marburg on Tuesday to voice their concerns about working conditions. SAPS was called to monitor the scene, but apart from a burning tyre, no violence or injuries werre reported. “The crowd dispersed a few hour later,” said police spokesperson Lieutenant-Colonel Zandra Wiid. Workers say they have not received uniforms in over two years because of budget constraints, yet they see new contractors and service providers being appointed often. They also claim to be working in an unsafe environment and that sewage plants have become dump-

ing sites. Ugu spokesperson, France Zama, said the action of these employees, to “engage in an illegal and unprotected protest”, will not be tolerated. “The behaviour of this group of staff during the said action cannot be tolerated in a democracy where staff have ample avenues and processes to deal with any dissatisfaction in the workplace.” The municipality has since engaged with the South African Municipal Workers’ Union (Samwu) to address staff and to understand what the “underlying causes for such unbecoming behaviour are”. “As Ugu District Municipality we are always available to engage in these matters, but we must categorically state that we cannot accept such behaviour that seeks to cause anarchy and chaos and undermine the integrity of this municipality,” he said. “We are therefore of the view that workers have deliberately been misled with an intention of inciting them to embark on strike action on matters that we as the municipality and the workers have agreed on a formulation of addressing them,” added Zama. He said those who had engaged in this activity, which hindered the provision of providing service delivery of water and sanitation, will be dealt with. “This action by our workers is regrettable and we wish to extend our apology to the members of the public who might have been inconvenienced by this action,” said Zama.

Vox pop FEVER reporter PRECIOUS GUMEDE asked readers what they think about the SABC’s decision to play 90% South African music and 10% international music across all its radio stations.

ZY Ncane ‘This is indeed a good move. Our music will now be broadcast in a way it should have been. Our artists will now be known and this means they will bene fit financially. We will now be able to boost local talent instead of boosting the economies of other coun tries.’

‘This 90% is over rated. I feel it is too much 50/50 would have been better and more practical. It is good to give South Afri can talent the plat form, but 90% is too much.’

Craig Fletcher

‘I wasn’t aware of this new law, but I’m very happy about it. It means more South Afri can artists will get rec ognition for their work,’

‘I’m happy with the decision. As a South African it is okay for them to do so.’

Sandhira Chetty ‘There have been times when I’m listening to a song, loving it and then try to find out who sings it, only to discover it’s local and my jaw drops to the ground. That is because lots of us don’t have faith in our own music. On the con trary, our music is fantastic and we need to get it out there. This country goes on about “local is lekker”, but we don’t reflect that slogan enough. This is our opportunity.’

that was held in Pietermaritsburg also did well and some made it through to the next level. “Sithembinkosi Primary and Ndunge Primary are the only primary schools that will be taking part provincially. Mcushwa High, Mtwalume and Makhanda High schools have been selected to compete at high-school level," she said. The provincials will be held at The Playhouse Company in Durban from 25 to 28 May.

>>precious.gumede@media24.com ST Martins De Porres School introduced a new school uniform for Foundation Phase pupils on Tuesday. Pupils, starting from Grade R to Grade 3, arrived at school in green shorts, Tshirts, and green socks for the boys and green

11 andwhite striped socks for the girls. Foundation Phase head of department Sister Staff Dlamini said the reason for the change in uniform was to make the children comfortable and stand out. “Before, pupils from Grade R to Grade 3 wore the same uniform as the senior phase. I felt that the long grey pants are for bigger people and shorts and Tshirts would be ideal for the little ones.” She said at the end of last year she came up with the idea of changing the uniform and in February parents agreed to imple ment them. “Parents have been very supportive, they all paid their money for their children's uniforms and were excited. None of them complained about the cost,” she said. PHOTO: PRECIOUS GUMEDE

In many cases where no training and socialising has been done, or the training has been very bad and has wor sened if not caused the problems, attempt ing to rehabilitate the dogs is very danger ous, difficult and time consuming. Like humans, all dogs have the potential to be aggressive. The most potentially dan gerous of these are the more powerful ones in whom aggressive tendencies have been selectively bred. But all will have inherited certain selected genes which will bear strongly on their innate behaviour. The mo torpattern for the various breeds of dogs are selected from orient – eye, stalk – chase, grab – bite, kill – dissect – consume. A Border collie, for example, will inherit the orient – eye; stalk – chase part of the motor pattern, and the other behaviours will have been bred out.

Such dogs are liable to be come pathological due to the selection for impulsive aggression. I can’t stress enough how important it is to beware that this ag gression may appear suddenly and unpre dictably in such a dog. The selected genes in aggressive dogs will make certain postures and behaviours satisfying. So learning and socialising can not alone prevent the appearance of innate behaviours; additionally, such a dog needs an avenue for the safe, controlled release of these inherited response mechanisms, be cause his inclination will be to seek opportu nities to follow the ingrained patterns and perform the inbred functions.

more and more deeply. You can hardly start training early enough. Unfortunately, many people seek help only when the dog has ex hibited the most overt threat or harmed a family member, visitor or another pet. It should go without saying that this is ex tremely irresponsible. To attempt the mas sive remedial work required at this late stage will put your trainer at risk and, of ne cessity, be very extensive and timeconsum ing, most probably requiring two trainers working together, at least one of whom should be an educated, experienced behav iourist. It may also require the example of more than one welltrained assistant dog, de pending on the problembehaviours that have manifested, and it may take many ses sions per day for a long time. Please, never underestimate the poten tial dangers of allowing bad behaviour pat terns to develop.

you switch on the TV only to see the once-sacred Parliament being reduced to an absolute circus by a bunch of cartoons in red overalls. It has caused me to lose all hope, and my family who have emigrated are concerned about my safety. I could also just pack up and go, but it is not as easy as that when you love the country of your birth. Like most South Africans I have al-

Illegal connections dangerous I HAVE been staying at Mkholombe for a while and there are no legal electricity connections. I find it difficult to understand why people connect electricity illegally and expect others to pay for

it while they enjoy it for free. They are basically stealing other people’s hard-earned money. It is very dangerous to live around this, especially for children who play outside.

This is disgusting and I would like to see both Eskom and municipality take action. Luxolo Mkholombe

Stealing artefacts, shameful IT saddens me, and I would say most of the country, when one reads of temples, churches, mosques and other places of worship being robbed, broken into and desecrated. How low can individuals go just to fulfil their greed. One has to understand that as long

there is a demand for these kind of artefacts, thieves will thrive, therefore the middle operators also need to be put away, not fined, or just shut down, but locked up and the keys thrown away. These people are the scourge who live off thieves and criminals. People

should not protect these middle operators by keeping quiet. Let the authorities know because tomorrow it could be you. Criminals should be behind bars, where they belong.

Our front-page story has left many people scratching their heads. What is Umdoni Municipality up to now? Well, according to a ward councillor and the environmental expert quoted in the front-page story, it seems the municipality itself doesn’t even know what it is doing. It was with great sadness that we learnt of the death of Hopson Shezi,

who was very successful in the property sector and was well known in the business circles. We send our condolences to his loved ones and to the South Coast Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

We often hear people complain that “nothing ever happens here”, but this week we publish stories about a new technology hub and a new museum, which means that things will happen, but just in their own time or in African time as some may put it.

Municipality must replace ageing infrastructure AS far as I know Ugu is yet to pull out the thumb and work on a detailed and comprehensive plan on when they are going to replace the ageing infrastructure. I live in Uvongo and on my street water shortages are a weekly occurrence and that can be attributed to pipes that are over 40 years old that are not coping with today’s water demands. We need to be told of a clear plan with definite time frames. It seems like all the municipality cares about are the endless bridge handovers,

we need water too. Uthungulu Municipality in northern KZN seems to be on top of things as they have embarked on a massive project to replace all water pipes in most suburbs. The responsible people, who actually pay for municipality services, are a tiny fraction compared to the majority that enjoys free things. Maybe it is time we also protested and withheld our rates until our demands are met. Fed Up Uvongo

Small political parties must close shop MY assessment of the political situation is that the small political parties must close up shop. The contest in the local government elections will be a threehorse race between the ANC, DA and EFF. These parties have picked themselves as those that deserve our votes. In recent times many small political parties have mushroomed and made promises, knowing they lack the capacity to deliver. The game is up now and they have overstayed their welcome. Voting for them will be throwing away votes. The ANC’s advantage is that it enjoys a strong bond with the poor and downtrodden. It also boasts a credible history of ser-

vice to the people since 1912. Its commitment to the development of this country is unquestionable. The DA, on other hand, is viewed as an elitist party. It has so far failed to win the hearts of the masses. It has also annoyed many people for always going to the courts to complain about the government. They view the DA’s actions as attempts to rule this country through unfair means. Judging by the way in which the EFF behaves in Parliament, it seems that people who are anarchists will vote for it. If the EFF manages to win one city, it will be interesting to see how a city of anarchists functions. Romanius Zulu

‘n

GROOT storm het die afgelope tyd op die sosiale media losgebars oor die teenwoordigheid van Chinese vistreilers langs die Suid-Afrikaanse kuslyn, en in die besonder die Suidkus van KZN. Verskeie omgewingsbewustes het grafiese beelde versprei van die skepe langs die kus wat met ‘n spesiale toepassing op rekenaars en selfone gevolg kan word. Talle van hierdie skepe is Chinese vistreilers wat lank op een plek stilstaan, en ooglopend die een vangs na die ander uit die oseaan onttrek. Kenners met wie die uwe gepraat het, sê sekere nagte kom hierdie vistreilers so na aan die kus dat mense met goeie sintuie die diesel-enjins in die verte kan hoor, afhangend van die windrigting. Mense in hoë woonstelgeboue in Margate kan sekere tye van die dag bote in die verte sien wat doodstil lê en nie beweeg nie. Die logiese afleiding is dis vistreilers. Die hele omstredenheid het ook intussen na die hoofstroom-media oorgespoel, en net voor hierdie berig geskryf is, het verskeie media berig dat ‘n Chinese visserboot deur die regering deursoek is nadat ander laat spaander het. Die vraag wat deur verskeie mense op die sosiale media gevra is, is of die Suid-Afrikaanse regering se hegte vriendskap met die Chinese regering hom nie daarvan weerhou om strenger op te tree nie. Hoe dit ookal sy, daar bestaan geen twyfel dat die Chinese vissersbote, nie net aan die Suid-Afrikaanse kus nie, die wêreld se oseane van vis stroop soos nog nooit vantevore nie. In berigte waarop ek afgekom het, sê Suid-Afrikaanse vissermanne in sekere gebiede waar daar normaalweg baie vis is, is daar nou min. Daarbenewens sien hulle talle ongemerkte Chinese vistreilers in hierdie gebiede. Van hulle het selfs fotos van die bote aan die Transkeise kus op Facebook geplaas, en van die mense wonder of hierdie bote nie iets te doen het met die skaarste van seisoenale sardines nie. Op die internet het ek kennis geneem verskeie lande se ernstige probleme met Chinese vistreilers wat hulle nie steur aan die internasionale gebiedswaterreëls nie. ‘n Goeie voorbeeld is Argentinië, wat in Desember verlede jaar waarskuwingskote op twee vistreilers gevuur en verhoed het dat hulle na internasionale water ontsnap. Tien ton ilex-inkvis is aan boord van die skepe gekry nadat

China, die grootste ‘verkragter’ van wêreld oseane >> Verskeie omgewingsbewustes het grafiese beelde versprei van die skepe langs die kus wat met ‘n spesiale toepassing op rekenaars en selfone gevolg kan word hulle hawe toe gesleep is. Hierdie spesie is die hoof-voedselbron van pikkewyne, seeleeus, voëls en walvisse, en as die vangste goed bestuur word, kan Argentinië en die Falkland-eilande ‘n goeie inkomste verdien sonder om die bron skade te berokken. Maar die Chinese vissersbote 300 000 ton inkvis per jaar in Argentynse gebiedswater, beweeg na internasionale water, verplaas die vangste na groot fabrieksbote, neem voorraad en brandstof in, en keer so gou as moontlik terug om nog inkvis te stroop. Die probleem is só groot dat NASA foto’s snags uit die ruimte toon dat die wêreld se oseaan donker is, behalwe hier, 300 kilometer van die naaste kuslyn, waar die ligte van al die bote die see soos ‘n groot stad laat lyk. Argentinië sukkel om die situasie se beheer omdat hy slegs agt bote het om sy lang kuslyn te patroller. Die Falkland-eilande se viswater word deur die Britse vloot beskerm. Argentinië se probleem is maar net een van baie dwarsoor die wêreld. China het die grootste visvloot op aarde, en die Verenigde Nasies het bevind dat 70% van die wêreld se visspesies met uitwissing bedreig word. Professor Walter Clemens van die Universiteit van Boston het onlangs geskryf behalwe dat China die oseane stroop van vis, is hulle besig om haaie uit te roei vir haaivinsop, en gooi die Chinese een derde van die plastiekprodukte wat die oseane versmoor, oorboord. Nie alleen “verkrag” China die oseane nie, sê Clemens, hy doen dieselfde met die volkereg. Tot onlangs was sy gebieds-uitbreiding beperk tot sy bure, van Mansjoerye en Tadjikistan tot die Himalayas en Viëtnam. Nou eis hy internasionale waterweë op as sy eie. Om alles te kroon, verklaar die professor, het China reeds sy eie tier- en beerbevolking uitgewis, sy agente stroop diere in ander lande, soos olifante vir die ivoor. Hy noem talle ander voorbeelde, en meen die rede vir Chi-

Om jouself met ander te vergelyk ... DAAR is ou rympie in Engels wat lui: “Anything you can do I can do better, I can do anything better than you.” Ons is almal geneig om ons met ander te vergelyk. Soms kom ons beter daarvan af. Ander kere slegter. Om jouself met ander te vergelyk kan of lei tot hoogmoed of dit kan oorgaan in jaloesie of self gevoelens van minderwaardigheid by jou kweek. Hierdie geneigdheid om jouself na boontoe of na ondertoe te meet bevorder ‘n kompetisiegees by mense. Naderhand juig ons nie meer oor ander se suksesse nie, maar gun hulle dit ook nie. Soms laat hul suksesse ons voel soos mislukkings. Moeder Teresa wat onder die armstes van armes in Indië gewerk het is eenkeer gevra: “Word jy nie ontmoedig nie?” “Nee,” was haar antwoord, “want God het my nie geroep om suksesvol te wees nie, maar getrou.” Die Bybel gee in Romeine 12: 2 en 3 die wyse raad: “Moenie van jouself meer

dink as wat jy behoort te dink nie. Lê jou daarop toe om beskeie te wees in ooreenstemming met die maat van geloof wat God aan elkeen toebedeel het.” Met ander woorde, aanvaar jou sterk en jou swakpunte. Elkeen van ons het sterk en swakpunte. Maak seker dat jy van albei bewus is. Dit sal jou beide nederig en dankbaar hou. Om te strewe na uitnemendheid is goed. Om te strewe na perfeksionisme gaan jou emosioneel skaad. Dink ‘n bietjie na oor hoe jy oor jouself dink as jy alleen is. Is jy die heeltyd besig om jouself met Jan Alleman te vergelyk daar in jou alleenheid? Dan is jy waarskynlik al sieker as wat jy dink. As jy egter met jouself kan saamleef, dank die Here vir die geleenthede en gawes wat Hy aan jou geskenk het en wend dit aan tot voordeel van ander. Leer om ander te prys en te waardeer en jy sal self ook gelukkiger wees.

Wouter se Watergat

WW WOUTER WILLEMSE DIE afgelope week het ons baie tyd op die houtplatform bestee en net oor die see sit en tuur met die wonderlike weer wat ons ervaar het. Ons het onsself verbeel ons kon van die Chinese vissersbote sien wat net buite ons gebiedwater visvang. Hoop maar net die regering het die politieke wil om drastiese stappe te doen. Maar ons is mos ‘n vriend van China, of hoe? Gepraat van die politiek - iets wat ons hier in die Watergat laat rooi sien het (dis nou benewens die Lions-vlag wat ene Chris Lourens Potgieter rondgeswaai het na die wedstryd teen die Blues), was die verklaring van die ANC-jeugliga dat hulle in die toekoms rugbywedstryde gaan ontwrig. Ons kan verstaan dat baie nog gedoen kan word om rugby (en ander sportsoorte) op grondvlak te transformeer. Adjunk-minister Gert Oosthuizen het dit onlangs op RSG goed verduidelik, en ek moet sê, ek verstaan dit nou baie beter. ‘n Belangrike element is dat die regering die sportliggame nou wil dwing om te doen wat hulle self onderneem het om te doen. Net jammer ene Fikile Balula doen dit op so ‘n “f*k julle” manier dat dit nie maklik is om te verteer nie en gevoelens wakker maak wat liewer kon gebly het. Nou kom die Jeugliga nog by en lê hulle eiertjie. Of sal ek liewer sê vrot volstruiseier. Die Jeugliga wat onlangs deur ene Fikile Balula gelei is, honderdduisende rande uitgemors het en deur Julius Malema deur sy agterent getrek is voordat hy padgegee het. ‘n Jeugliga wat met moeite weer op die been gebring is, en nou politieke bollie die wêreld in spuit om relevant te probeer wees. Die meeste van sy lede het geen koekken kloe van die onderhandelde skikking van die vroeë negentigs nie, nog minder van die bepalings van die grondwet. Al wat hulle weet, is wat Julius en sy rooi bende flentergatte doen, moet hulle beter doen om stemme te trek. En in die proses beskadig hulle rasseverhoudings tot op die rand van onherstelbaar. “Kan julle julle voorstel,” het Pottie daarop gewys, “wat gaan gebeur indien die jeugliga by Kingspark of Ellispark, of Loftus, opdaag tydens ‘n Super 15 of Curriebeker-wedstryd en op die veld hardloop. Of buite die stadion dinge aanvang soos die betogende studente op die kampusse? Dit gaan mos gevoelens in rugby-ondersteuners se binnestes wakker maak wat moeilik gestuit kan word. Dit gaan oorlog wees.” Genoeg daarvan. Kom ons hoop die regering het die (geykte en skaars) politieke wil om dit te keer. Ons glimlag van die week kom van Gert Smallberger van Nelspruit wat elke Meimaand Suidkus toe kom, en minstens elke tweede dag hier ‘n skuimkop kom drink. Hy hou van die atmosfeer, sê hy. Hy het vertel van Jan, ‘n prokureursklerk, wat met ‘n blou oog op kantoor kom. “En dit” vra sy kantoormaat. “Man, ek is nou net met die vuis geslaan deur ‘n vrou in die hysbak.” “Hoe so?” vra die maat. “Die vrou was baie mooi gebou, en ek kon nie help om na haar mooi borsmaat te kyk nie. Ek was heel ingedagte toe sy ma vra: “Sal jy nommer een druk, asseblief?”

Radical interventions required to achieve economic growth >> SABC recently implemented a mandatory 90% local music content for its 18 radio stations BUSINESS REPORTER

HE SABC recently implemented a mandatory 90% local music content for its 18 radio stations – now that’s radical. The impact of this on the local music industry will be huge. Local artists, producers, recording facilities and support industries have had their futures changed overnight. A major slice of the music “royalty pie” (reportedly worth R2 billion per annum) will now be injected into the local industry. Simple arithmetic suggests an injection of around R1.8 billion per annum into this sector of the economy. Instead of leaving the country, this money stays in South Africa and will have a multiplier effect as those who

JUGGIE GOVENDER WITH the current environment of rising interest rates and rising inflation, and thus increased living expenses, South Africans face greater financial pressure – which may impact their ability to save, or increase their sav-

ings. With some forward planning and creative thinking, this need not be the case however. If you have not already implemented these habits, there are some practical things you can do to streamline your spending to enable you to keep your savings at an appropriate level. Tips to help you save more: Pay yourself first There is a saying that you should pay yourself first. The idea is that you ensure that you save some money before paying all the expenses, instead of paying all your expenses first and then saving any remaining amounts. This way saving also becomes a priority. Understand and know your expenses You need to understand all your expenses so you can track how you spend your money. This can be

an exceptionally sobering exercise as you may find that you spend a lot of money on unnecessary things you think you need. Make a list of all expenses and start cutting out these unnecessary items. Ultimately, create a budget and stick to it. Review and reduce your expenses This should be ongoing exercise. Some expenses are unavoidable whereas some can be reduced, and in certain cases, even avoided. Here are some examples: Be aware of bank charges • How much have you been paying in bank charges? Make sure you have the appropriate bank account to avoid unnecessary fees. Reduce debt, pay less interest • By reducing your debt, you’ll bring down the amount you are paying in interest. You should make sure you understand the interest that is charged on your credit card and retail accounts. Review insurance annually • A simple exercise is to amend the value of your car annually to ensure that you are paying the appropriate premium. Similarly, review the value of household goods annually to ensure you are not over-insured and paying unnecessarily high premiums. Shop and eat smart • Compile shopping lists and only buy what you need. Plan your meals and where possible buy in bulk. It is advisable to compare prices and even change brands. Cutting down on junk food and being creative with the leftovers can also make a difference. You

What if things went so well that our retailer introduced more local product lines which led to more factories, more employment opportunities and a more inclusive economy in our area? Lower cost imports will not save our economy and they definitely will not save the Hibiscus Coast. The retail sector that markets these imports has very finite employment-creating potential and unemployment is our biggest problem. The long-term solution to the economic well being (and therefore social well being) of this area lies in manufacturing, which offers a significant employment and skills transfer multiplier. The long-term solution for manufacturing lies in a radical shift in the procurement ethic of the retail sector.

may even consider starting your own vegetable garden. Save on utilities • We all are fully aware of the importance of saving electricity, yet we don’t always implement strategies to lower our electricity bill. Try switching off the television and lights when not in use, or using energyefficient appliances and products. Use additional blankets in winter and cut down on heaters. You could replace all your lights with energy-efficient bulbs, switch to a gas stove, etc. Similarly, save water by replacing your shower heads with water efficient ones, taking shorter showers, getting a tank to collect rain water for the garden and covering your pool to reduce evaporation. Maintain your car and drive smart • Make sure that your motor vehicle is maintained properly as failure to do so could result in costly repairs. It will also help in ensuring your car runs efficiently and your petrol bill is reasonable. One simple tip is to ensure your tyres are inflated correctly. There are also ways to drive more efficiently by keeping a slow steady pace and offloading unnecessary weight, among others.

SA photographer moves to Trafalgar >> Pieter de Ras will open his gallery on 27 May

IETER de Ras, one of South Africa’s leading professional photographers, has relocated to Trafalgar and will open his gallery on Friday 27 May. “The first photographic gallery dedicated only to photography on the South Coast was a lifelong ambition. “This was realised when the old Victory pub become vacant in Trafalgar. Our aim is to showcase South African professional photographers, in addition to holding classes to improve photographic skills of the amateur. Adjacent to the gallery, a coffee house was created to become a meeting place for the local community and visitors, serving brunches, lunches and in between,” he said. He will pursue his photographic career, run a photographic gallery as well as teach photography to small groups. He began his career in 1969 as a news photographer on two of Johannesburg’s largest daily newspapers, Vaderland and The Star, but quickly found his niche in fashion photography where his air for styling earned him an enviable reputation among local fashion editors. He established his own studio in 1976 and widened his portfolio to include advertising and commercial photography. In the last few years De Ras’s focus has been on architectural interiors and still life photography, for which he

has won numerous local and international awards, including the coveted Clio in New York, and a Gold Loerie for his work on the Apartheid Museum. He was also named South African Professional Photographer of the year in 1989.

De Ras has travelled extensively for clients, most notably South African Airways, and has also been commissioned to produce several travelogues for local lifestyle magazines. President of the Professional Photographers of Southern Africa (PPSA) from 2006-

19 May 2016 2010, he also holds a fellowship with the PPSA in still life photography. He was also awarded his Honorary Fellowship for his contribution to the PPSA. In September 2007, de Ras had the honour of being invited to be one of the founding members of the World Photography Academy, an initiative by SONY that aims to bring together the world’s leading photographers, public gallerists, curators and major picture editors. De Ras accepted an invitation to be one of the judges in the inaugural Sony World Photography Awards to be held at the prestigious Palais des Festivals in Cannes. It took place over three days and is the largest award of its kind. He is a founder member of the World Photographic Academy (WPA).

He completed the organisation of the successful 2008 and 2009 Sony Profoto Awards in Johannesburg. De Ras was a member of the International Loupe Photographic Awards judging panel, and is currently a senior facilitator with the IAJ (Institute for the advancement of Journalism) where he lectures in camera technique a photographic proficiency to amateur and professional photographers. De Ras has held two solo exhibitions and participated in various group exhibitions. He still undertakes local and international assignments. - Supplied.

KZN athletics coach to fight sudden dismissal P

RESIDENT of KZN Athletics Sello Mokoena is keeping his cards close to his heart regarding the suspension then dismissal of KZN athletics coach Marc Labuschagne. Labuschagne found himself without a job after a meeting between KZN Athletics and the Department of Sport and Recreation — a meeting to which Labuschagne was invited — regarding the living conditions of five underprivileged athletes. The five athletes, in their teens, were part of a squad hand-picked by Labuschagne for specific training with the long-term view of producing athletes to represent South Africa on the international stage. Recently, it came to light the athletes had complained regarding their treatment by the appointed housemother, who neglected them and was verbally abusive to them. The aforementioned meeting was to address the problem and

while the proverbial fly on the wall may be the only creature to know what transpired at the meeting, the end results has seen Labuschagne in his current predicament. Having been originally offered a three-year contract as KZN athletics coach, Labuschagne still has two years remaining and he has

Mokoena went on to say he respects Labuschagne’s privacy and has to keep intact the reputation of KZN Athletics. “I do not think it would be fair to openly comment at this stage,” Mokoena said. And that is where the issue stands. It appears that KZN Athletics is prepared to follow such a route, but on what grounds or what they base their actions and decisions on, plus who will represent them, remains in Mokoena’s hands. As Mark Futcher, Labuschagne’s attorney said: “This whole matter is ridiculous. My client was head of sport at Glenwood High School for 10 years and had a secure job. “He was asked to consider being the KZN athletics coach and would obviously have done his homework regarding a decent salary and job security. “The last thing on his mind a year later would be to sit without a job and not be allowed access to the athletes he is supposed to nurture.”

Coach found himself without a job after a meeting between KZN Athletics and the Department of Sport and Recreation a meeting to which Labuschagne was invited regarding the living conditions of five under privileged athletes gone the legal route, taking the matter to the CCMA stating unfair dismissal and unfair labour practice regarding his suspension. There is also the matter of being paid out the remainder of his contract to address as well. The matter comes up on 23 May and Mokoena is meanwhile stating only: “I am not in a position to comment on this, as it is an internal issue involving KZN Athletics”.
