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.

>> A family of three were swept off a bridge CANDYCE KRISHNA >>candyce.krishna@media24.com

AIN came down and hard at the beginning of the week, resulting in reports of flooding and destruction of property by strong winds in the district.

A farm in Southbroom, Outlook Farms, recorded a total of 293.1mm rainfall since last Friday 22 July night to Monday, 25 July. A further 300mm fell between Monday and Wednesday. Emergency services were kept busy as they responded to various

road accidents. A family of three was swept off a bridge, and had to swim several kilometres before getting to a place of safety in the heavy rain on Tuesday. KZN EMS spokesperson, Robert McKenzie, said no fatalities had been reported.

“Two cars were washed off bridges on the South Coast,” he said. He said motorists must still exercise caution even though the rain has eased off. The Hibiscus Coast Municipality fire department responded to incidents from Monday to Tuesday, spokesperson Simon April confirmed. There were seven houses in Wards 20, 22 and 23 that were damaged because of flooding. “The municipality has given emergency relief items to those affected. Teams are closely monitoring bridges although there have been no reports of any bridges washing away.”

Police wage war on drug dealers THE SAPS have warned South Coast drug dealers to watch out because they are coming after them. Last Thursday two drug dealers were arrested by the Port Shepstone Drug Task team under the command of Detective Warrant Officer Herman Pienaar.

Car rolls on P200, driver injured THE driver of a light motor vehicle was injured last Thursday when the car rolled on the P200, Izotsha. KwaZulu Private Ambulance spokesperson Belinda Catchpole said paramedics from

Protection and Sexual Offences unit (FCS). On 6 January, 2015, the little girl, who lives with her grandmother and relatives in Nyangwini Ward, Hibberdene returned from her father’s house at about 6pm and ran up to her grandmother, crying. She complained that she had been assaulted by her father. A few hours earlier, the father had taken his daughter [victim] and her aunt, also a little girl, to his rondavel

Kwazulu Private Ambulance were called to the scene on the P200 in Izotsha at 7.30am where they found the car on its roof on the side of the road.

House robber sentenced MONDLI Ngidi (24) of Mfazazana in Hibberdene appeared in the Scott burgh Regional Court where he was convicted of house robbery and sen tenced on Wednesday, 20 July, to 15 years’ imprisonment. A second accused was acquitted. A 32yearold victim in Marriane Road in Hibberdene was asleep on 23 June, 2015 at 3.40am, when she heard strange sounds.

She awoke to find a stranger in her room. A second suspect emerged from the ceiling and both men helped themselves to, inter alia, handbags, a TV, laptop, two cell phones, jewellery, cosmetics and a hairdryer. The case was investigated by De tective Sergeant Thokozisi Innocent Gumede of the Hibberdene SAPS Detective Service. Supplied.

The father’s neighbour alerted the grandmother that she had heard the victim crying in her father’s house saying she should be examined. The victim then reported that she had been raped by her father twice the previous year. The matter was reported to the police who investigated the allega-

tions. The biological father was arrested and charged with two counts of rape and assault common and he was brought before court. Major-General Agnes Nxamagele, the Ugu (Port Shepstone) Cluster Commander, commended the FCS detectives for the thorough investigation of the case and for ensuring that the rapist dad was put behind bars. “It is heartbreaking that a father could betray his daughter’s trust and ravage her little body to satisfy his lust. The little girl need not live in fear anymore as her father will be behind bars for many a year to come,” said Nxamagele.

Drug dealer sentenced to six years THE SAPS welcomed the sentence meted out to a convicted drug dealer last week and hope it will deter others from dealing in drugs. Nkosinathi Emmanuel Myende (34) appeared in the Scottburgh Magistrate’s Court on Friday, 22 July where he was convicted of dealing in drugs and sentenced to six years imprisonment, half of which was suspended for five years. Warrant Officer Deena Govender of the Scottburgh SAPS followed up on information received and pounced on Myende at the Scottburgh taxi rank in October last year. Govender searched him and

recovered a plastic packet with 24 straws of heroin. Myende was arrested and detained and the straws of heroin seized as exhibits. The Scottburgh SAPS Station Commander, Lieutenant- Colonel Praga Naicker, commended Warrant Officer Deena Govender for the arrest and subsequent conviction and sentencing of the drug dealer. “Our members work tirelessly to rid our communities of drugs. Numerous drug-related arrests were effected recently and I urge them to intensify their efforts to keep our streets free of drugs,” said Naicker. - Supplied.

HERE was plenty of water on the lower South Coast. but for some areas, there was not a drop to drink. Ugu District Municipality said it’s water and sanitation systems in certain parts of the district were disrupted due to numerous pipe breaks, water works flooding and high volumes of storm water into sewer systems. Also due to the electricity breaks, Shelly Beach, Melville, Woodgrange and Uvongo have been restricted to ensure sustainable supply while Marburg, Umtentweni, Southport, Gamalakhe and Oslo Beach experienced complete shutdown to avoid total

collapse of the supply system. “Technicians are working around the clock to ensure efficient and effective restoration of services. Customers are also alerted that it might take longer than expected to attend to reported leaks and breaks due to a number of access roads being washed away therefore prohibiting reach of faults,” said Ugu spokesperson France Zama. “The entire district has been assessed to determine the extent of damage and needs for support and relief,” he added. Customers are urged to visit the Ugu Municipality Talk page on Facebook or contact the call centre on 08000 Water (92837) or 039 68 5830/36 or SMS

44751 for recent developments. On the positive side, the heavy rainfall has been of benefit with the dam levels in the Hibiscus Coast rising. “The Bhobhoyi dam is well over 32%,” said Zama. In the areas south-west of the district, supply sources at KwaMbotho, KwaNyuswa and Harding Dams in Umuziwabantu area have progressed. In areas under Umdoni, the EJ Smith and Umzinto dams have been filled. “Although there is a slight recorded change in the improvement of supply sources, we, as the municipality, reiterate the importance of preserving water as we are still engulfed by the effects of the drought,” said Zama.

PRECIOUS GUMEDE >>precious.gumede@media24.com AFTER the devastating rain and gale-force winds on Monday night, members of the Congregation Faith Church in Bhomela are now without a church. Pastor Andile Mafu said the front of the building was destroyed.

“The building was very old as it was built in the eighties. “Monday’s weather was bad and the front of the mud-walled building collapsed,” said Mafu. He said members shouldn’t worry about the weekend service because the building next to the church will be used until enough funds are raised to build a new one.

The group’s major fund-raiser is the Pro Deo Cycle, which entails a group of people cycling from Johannesburg to Margate. “We would like to grow that group of cyclists, and grow the Pro Deo Care Group as well. We need people to assist with transport to the clinics and to do shopping on behalf of those who can’t or provide relief to care-givers,” she said. Dr Nic Grobler, who studied theology, preached about disabilities and said that everyone is disabled in a sense that we are not able to do everything we want. Apart from ministry and preaching Grobler said his hobby is sculpting and believes that it is God-given talent. “Some of us want to be rugby players, but we are not equipped for that, but God has a purpose for us all and he sees the abilities we have,” he said.

HE elderly and children from previously disadvantaged backgrounds, who have never flown before, got the chance to fly on Thursday. Ward councillors from 29 wards within the Hibiscus Coast Municipality were asked to bring a senior citizen and a child from their wards to the launch of CemAir’s new aircraft at Margate Airport. Three 20-minute trips were scheduled for the first-time flyers and some got to fly in the new 8Q300 50seater plane. At the launch HCM mayor Nomusa Mqwebu said the new plane will be a legacy to councillors who are nearing the end of their term. “CemAir will always have our support,” said Mqwebu. Municipal manager Max Mbili said he hoped youngsters from the black community will pursue careers in aviation. “By taking these young children on the plane, I hope they will take a liking to it and strive to become pilots one day. The aviation industry is currently white-dominated and it would be good to see black people become pilots,” he added.

THE Wild Coast Sun's efforts to become selfsustain ing are paying off. Its expansive vegetable garden, es tablished in October 2014, now supplies a range of veg etables and herbs to the resort’s kitchens. Seven tons of produce was harvested in the last finan cial year, saving the Wild Coast Sun over R90 000. The garden spans a 60x57 metres, with eight lines of 5m width. Vegetables grown include cabbages, broccoli, onions, potatoes, tomatoes, spinach, beet root and green peppers, while the herb garden has rosemary, sage, sweet basil and parsley. In the past year, the garden produced almost 600kgs of green pepper, which would have cost the resort R14 690 to buy in, while spinach is proving to be anoth er excellent grower, with 717kgs harvested, saving the

CemAir CEO, Miles van der Molen, said the new aircraft was ideal for the Margate to Johannesburg route as it could withstand all weather conditions and would get passagers to Johannesburg quicker because it is a faster plane. “CemAir has had wonderful support from the community and I can say that this venture has been the highlight of my career,” he said.

Van der Molen added that although his competitors offered cheaper flights to Durban, flying from Margate was more convenient as one did not have to bear the additional cost of driving to Durban and paying for parking. “Also, we have not increased the cost of our flights from the time we started the airline three years ago,” he said.

In total the three schools cater for 1 500 pupils every day. A new member in the cast of colourful plants in the garden is an orange tree, grown from a single seed from an orange from Bambanani. Recently, the vegetable garden was expanded to include a rice field. The garden is tended to by men from the local community, led by Alex Nzimakwe. According to the Wild Coast Sun’s environmental manager, Sonja Stroud, the vegetable garden is an en vironmental project aimed at reducing carbon emis sions, fuel consumption, and waste to landfill. It is a natural extension to the resort’s successful natural compost project which produces enough natural com post to dress the sprawling lawns at the Wild Coast Sun, as well as feed the vegetable and herb gardens. “We are thrilled with the progress we have made towards optimising our resource efficiencies and en trenching sustainable practices. Our vegetable garden has an abundant supply of fresh vegetables and herbs which our culinary teams use in the kitchens. “While contributing to environmental sustainability and reducing our own costs, the vegetable project at the Wild Coast Sun also uplifts the community. We are really proud of what we have achieved in the past yearanda half,” said Stroud. Supplied.

Municipality thanked for good work

NOTHER very busy month has gone by at Hibiscus Kennel Club, culminating in the Lions Show where members put their dogs through their paces in both agility and obedience with the help of our super carting dogs. They say in the movie world that dogs and children are very difficult to work with as they need to be given new challenges constantly to keep them focused. We challenged our dogs and they were amazing, considering the strange environment, the excessive noise and the throngs of people. When they faltered it was because we had not given clear instructions. Agility produced a few surprises when Georgie the boxer decided to go over the chute and not through it but she thoroughly enjoyed her run. Bondi the Border Collie was on top

CANDYCE KRISHNA >>candyce.krishna@media24.com A SOUTHPORT woman told the Fever that one often hears about how the Hibiscus Coast Municipality is not doing its job, so she decided to let locals know how she was assisted by Team One from the Hibiscus Coast Municipality recently. Elmarie Mouton said there was a tree obstructing the boundary wall around her home for some time. “I called Peppy Govender at the municipality, who sent a team to have the tree removed,” she said. “Mr Juma came to my premises with his team and they were very efficient,” she added. She said the tree was growing underneath the boundary wall and damaging it. The tree was also growing into

The dogs enjoyed the Flyball and Jodie the Border Collie was disappointed to be called away from the demonstration - “why only two turns?” The display stand inside the tent received many enquiries as well as people stopping for a chat. After all we all have the cleverest dogs. We thank the Lions of Port Shepstone for giving us this opportunity to showcase our work and for the understanding of our concerns for our dogs. We need shade and a secure place away from the crowds and they understood. The following results are from the show held on 10 July:

Safety at sea FRANCE ZAMA SENIOR MANAGER MAYORALTY AND COMMUNICATION

Ugu intensifies war against water loss UGU District Municipality has made major strides in ensuring the ultimate reduction of water loss and non-revenue water. Such strides were advanced through the launching of the Leak Detection Testing Rig and Pressure Management Control Room at 2 Lind Road in Marburg on Friday. This building and the facility cost R500 000, funded by the Department of Water and Sanitation. The machinery will assist with the detection of underground leaks not visible to the naked eye, therefore also eliminating prolonged water disruptions. During the launch the mayor, Cllr Ntombifikile Gumede applauded the

Our municipality has received accolades for being the best performing municipality in terms of this requirement with an excellent score of 95.38% according to the latest “no drop” report published by the department. Gumede highlighted that this achievement is confirmation that processes and systems are in place to detect the status of water loss in the district. A gap was identified that plumbers needed training on the operation and maintenance of water supply systems as the conventional training normally focuses on the installation and repair skills. A municipal team went to Sao Paulo in Brazil and came back with this

concept. This is the first of its kind in Africa and only the second in the world. Another one is in Brazil. A total of 10 internal staff have since been trained and are in the process of training others. The plan is to obtain accreditation for the training and trainers. Ugu also has plans to develop memorandums of understanding with other water services authorities in terms of providing training. This initiative is in line with Salga’s Municipal Benchmarking Initiative, supported by the Water Research Commission which says, “for municipalities, by municipalities, to benefit municipalities”. The Leak Detection Testing Rig and Pressure Management Control Room will equip the municipality with resources to swiftly detect and respond to leaks. Ugu District Municipality will continue to promote working together to create an environment that is friendly, responsive, accountable, effective and efficient for our communities.

UGU South Coast Tourism recently made a financial contribution to Port Edward’s Na tional Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI) station. Some may ask “what such a contribu tion has to do with tourism?” The answer is pretty simple really. If our residents and visitors are as seasafe as possible, the repu tation of our coastline is enhanced and our tourism gets the thumbs up. The excellent work done by the NSRI on the South Coast has over the years saved many lives and afforded ocean users a re spectful confidence that somebody is on hand if the unexpected arises. The NSRI is made up of local volunteers who dedicate their time and often put their own lives on the line for others. In 2015 we presented our local NSRI sta tions with an award recognising what the organisation does to provide the public and our tourism industry with a much valued service. If our beaches and seas were left mi nus a rescue service beyond that also pro vided by our many lifeguards from shore, there could be a drastic lack of user comfort in using the sea for leisure and commercial purposes. The added comfort exists that in the event of a medical emergency from a sea incident there are a number of quality medi cal facilities down here that can provide the right care at the right time. The sea can be a pleasure provider and a deceitful danger so without the services

JUSTIN MACKRORY: CEO SOUTH COAST TOURISM of organisations like the NSRI we would be hard pressed to sustain the good seaside safety reputation that does prevail. I am aware that the NSRI does have on going need for financial support to ensure that their rescue equipment and technolo gy are capable in dealing with any eventual ity so I would urge our public and companies to support their work and fund raising en deavours. Years ago I watched live BBC coverage of sea rescue boats trying to save stricken sailors from a sinking vessel off the treach erous Cornish coast and what struck me was the unrelenting bravery of the rescuers to reach the very distressed seamen. The NSRI is represented by similarly committed people wanting nothing more than safe times at the coast and at sea. We trust that the past holiday period was just that and that we can similarly look forward to a situationfree summer season in a few months time.

Dog on the Couch

HI Susan, I have a Spaniel mixed-breed who is terrified of swimming, but I do want the assurance of knowing he can swim. I am concerned because many friends have said that I should take him to the sea and force him in, but he is terrified and bolts away when I attempt this. Please can you help? I do not want him to drown accidentally. Lee Your friends, Lee, are suggesting a “therapy” known as flooding. Unfortunately, the results of quick fixes like this can have serious psychological consequences, because the animal is being forced into a situation perceived as dangerous. The fight, flight or freeze

survival mechanisms kick into gear and might produce a fear-induced aggressive response. The result could be a negative learnt response that may be triggered by any item or situation the dog perceives as dangerous. Many people have been psychologically scarred by the crude old method of throwing them into swimming pools as very young children. It’s a dangerous hit-and-miss method to be avoided. Phobias dealt with in this way with human subjects have the advantage of informed consent. For example, if a spider-phobic person agrees to be treated by being put into a room with spiders this is an informed choice. If it weren’t, it would rightly be considered a wicked, abusive act. The essential point I am emphasising here is that the dog is not able to be informed and to understand that this is a treatment and that no physical harm will ensue. It is far kinder to gradually expose the dog to his fear while providing a positive reward. Although this is certainly time-consuming, the animal gradually learns that its fear is largely unfounded. If this is patiently and properly done it is safer and most likely to produce healthy and enduring results. Consult an experienced trainer or behaviourist if you are uncertain how to proceed. I cannot stress enough the importance of avoiding problem behaviours where possible, rather than trying to correct them once they have become ingrained. I hope this helps. - Susan Henderson© (accredited animal consultant info@dogbox trainingschool.co.za)

Turks display maturity THE thousands of ordinary citizens who bravely opposed the coup and supported the democratically elected government in Turkey need to be commended for showing political maturity. Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan, due to his moral transformation and economic development of Turkey and his support for the Syrian refugees, has become a source of inspiration for many Muslims across the globe. Agreed, Erdogen has his faults like any human being and more so being a politician. Like other politicians, his decisions are not above criticism or disapproval, but there was no need for a military coup. Erdogan blames Fethullah Gulen, a Turkish cleric who lives in self-imposed exile in Pennsylvania, U.S., for orchestrating the attempted coup. Erdogan is demanding that the U.S. government extradite Gulen. It will be interesting to see if the U.S. accedes to this request. So far, the U.S. is demanding evidence that meets the legal criteria for extradition.

Integrity, Respect, Accountability, Courage

January to March 2016: 34920

Councillors must honour their promises CANDIDATES for the upcoming municipal elections are promising residents heaven and Earth, but they must take into account the impact on community development as a result of their false promises.

Ek vra maar net MET verwysing na die Fever van 21 Julie en Joan Pienaar se skrywe. Ek was eers geskok toe hartseer en toe ontstel. Gaan die persoon wat nie by die hof op gedaag het nie voor die hof gedaag word oor waarom hy nie daar was nie of gaan die saak net daar gelaat word en nog n onskuldige persoon met hartseer en pyn met die lewe moet aangaan. Ek vra maar net. R. Radley Marina Beach

This scenario reminds me of Osama bin Laden and George W. Bush. After 9/11, Bush made a similar request to the Taliban. The Taliban refused to extradite Bin Laden without evidence resulting in the U.S. invasion and destruction of Afghanistan. American double standards and its forkedtongued proclamations reduce its moral high ground to be the police of the world. To quote Noam Chomsky: “If the Nuremberg laws were applied, then every post-war American president would have been hanged.” Mohamed Saeed

Their promises must be realistic and must take into account the economic reality. If they do win the wards they are targeting, will they be able to deliver? Many of us are sometimes taken for a ride and are convinced

that our unemployment rate and lack of service delivery will be addressed simply because they will be in office. To all those who are contesting the elections, know that breaking your promise will make things difficult. To those who are elected councillors, I say to you: honour your promises made to the people and carry on with your door-to-door campaigns. Do not return only for the next election campaign. I wish you the best for the local government elections but remember all those who fought hard for this freedom, including our international icon Dr Nelson R. Mandela. We salute all those who will always fight oppression and racism, and those who are there to ensure that accountability triumphs. Bonginkosi Ndlovu

Thank you, estate agent ALLOW us to say a big thank to Jo Anne Wentzel of Alpha Estates for showing us what excellent and professional service is. We bought a flat in Margate in November last year and immediately put it back on the market. A month ago we realised that we need a new agent to assist us and luckily, Jo Anne was referred to us. That same after-

noon our flat was listed and Jo Anne assured us that Thursday that she would sell our flat, and needless to say, she sold it within two days. She stayed in contact via email and called us until the money was paid in our account last week. Once again, a big thank you. Besters Southport

Munisipale verkiesing handige inligting >> Daar is drie soorte verkiesingselsels … Die mu nisipale verkies ing van 2016 word aan staande Woens dag ge hou. FOTO: VERSKAF

JOHAN PRETORIUS

IE munisipale verkiesing van 2016 word aanstaande Woensdag gehou, en die volgende inligting sal help om die proses beter te verstaan. Daar is drie soorte verkiesingselsels: A. die “wenner kry alles” of kies-afdelingstelsel, waarvolgens die land in kiesafdelings of wyke verdeel word, waarin gestem word. Die party met die grootste aantal stemme in ‘n kies-afdeling of wyk wen die verkiesing en verwerf ‘n setel-plek in die parlement/stadsraad vir daardie wyk. Die stemme vir die partye wat verloor, tel nie. Dit was die stelsel wat voor 1994 gebruik is. B. Proporsionele verteenwoordiging: dit word ook die partylys-stelsel genoem. Hier tel elke stem omdat die totaal stemme vir elke party bepaal hoeveel setels of wyke die party kry. Partye stel lyste van kandidate saam, en die getal mense wat verkies word, word bepaal deur die aantal setels-wyke wat die party wen. Dit is die stelsel wat van 1994 tot 2014 in die nasionale en provinsiale verkiesings gebruik is. C. Gekombineerde stelsel: dit is ‘n kombinasie van die

‘wenner kry alles’- en proporsionele verteenwoordigingstelsel. Wanneer die finale aantal setels/wyke bepaal moet word, speel proporsionaliteit ‘n deurslaggewende rol. Wanneer daar byvoorbeeld 10 wyke in ‘n munisipaliteit beskikbaar is, is vyf wyksetels en vyf proporsionele verteenwoordiging-setels (PV of PR in Engels). Party A met 50% van die stemme, het die reg tot vyf setels. Indien die party vier wyke wen, kry die party een proporsionele-verteenwoordigingsetel. Party B met 30% van die stemme, het drie setels … indien hulle een wyk wen, kry hulle twee PV-setels en eindig met drie setels. Party C, met 20% van die stemme kry twee setels...indien hulle geen wyk wen nie, kry hulle in elk geval twee PV-setels as hul finale totaal. Die gekombineerde stelsel is in die munisipale verkiesings van 2000, 2006 en 2011 gebruik, en sommige raadslede is verkies omdat hul wyke gewen het, en ander is verkies omdat hulle op die partylyste vir die gebied was. Dieselfde stelsel geld in vanjaar se verkiesing. Waarvoor stem ‘n mens aanstaande Woensdag? Die aantal en soort stemme word bepaal deur die plek waar jy

STILTETYD:

Doodloopstate EK aanvaar dat dit al met jou gebeur het dat jy op soek is na ‘n plek, verdwaal en dan agterkom jy bevind jou in ‘n doodloopstraat. Dis frustrerend, veral as daar nie plek is om om te draai nie. Die lewe bestaan ook uit sulke doodloopstrate. Dit kan die doodloopstrate wees van jou drome, van jou gesondheid, van jou toekomsverwagting, wat ookal. Die Bybelboek Rut vertel ons van so ‘n doodloopstaat in die lewe van ‘n vrou met die naam Naomi. Sy, haar man en twee seuns moes vanweë hongersnood in hulle land verhuis en vlugtelinge word in ‘n vreemde land. Daar gebeur dit toe dat die twee seuns met vroue trou van ‘n an-

bly. In die metrorade van die groot stede is daar twee stemme op een stembrief: een stem vir ‘n party, en een vir ‘n wykskandidaat. Plaaslike munisipaliteite en omgewings: drie stemm … een partystem vir die plaaslike raad, een stem vir ‘n wykskandidaat, en een partystem vir die raad van die distriksmunisipaliteit, in ons geval Ugu. ‘n Belangrike feit om te onthou is dat die Hibiskuskusmunisipaliteit soos ons hom nou ken, na die verkiesing saamsmelt met Ezinqoleni om die nuwe Ray Nkonyeni-munisipaliteit te vorm. Die nuwe munisipaliteit sal 71 raadslede hê van wie 36 wykslede sal wees, en 35 verkies deur die proporsionele stelsel. Dertien van hierdie raadslede sal “permanente” lede wees, nl. die speaker, die burgemeester, die onder-burgemeester, agt lede van die uitvoerende komitee, ‘n hoofsweep en ‘n voorsitter van die MPAC. Die Onafhanklike Verkiesingskommissie beveel aan dat kiesers vooraf doodseker maak waar die stembus in hul omgewing is, en so vroeg as moontlik deur die dag van 3 Augustus te gaan stem om groot opeenhopings laat in die dag te voorkom.

der kultuur en geloof. Dit alleen maar ‘n bitter pil om te sluk vir ‘n Jood destyds. In die vreemde land gebeur dit toe ook nog dat haar man en twee seuns te sterwe kom. Sien dit saam met al die ander ellende wat hulle getref het en jy kan verstaan dat Naomi gevoel het haar lewe het in ‘n doodloopstaat beland. Sy het dit bitter swaar gehad. Hoe gemaak met doodloopstrate in jou lewe? God laat Hom nie deur doodloopstrate afsit nie. In die boek Rut sien ons hoedat deur die beskikking van God en die inisiatief van Naomi daar tog ‘n weg is uit doodloopstate. God wik en die mens beskik, die mens wik God

allie

beskik. Naomi se een skoondogter Rut het saam met haar teruggetrek na haar geboorteland toe. Deurentyd sien ons hoe sy haar skoondogter van raad bedien om uiteindelik ‘n huweliksmaat te vind, wat destyds die manier was waarop ‘n weduwee heenkome kon vind. So word Naomi uiteindelik self versorg. ‘n Mens moet nie te gou aanvaar dat daar nie ‘n oplossing vir ‘n probleem is nie. Vertrou die Here om aan jou die wysheid te gee om uit die doodloopstraat in jou lewe te tree. Naomi se doodloopstraat sou uiteindelik lei tot die geboorte van Christus, die nageslag van Rut, die Redder van die wêreld. God omskep doodloopstrate in poorte van hoop.

Executive headmaster, Noel Coetzee welcomed pupils and guests and thanked them for being part of the celebrations.

Guest speaker, Pastor Trevor Downham of Norwegian Settlers Church in Izotsha, spoke about the changes at the school since it first opened. “If we look back we are joyful about how the school has grown in the 21 years,” said Downham.

He said the founders made a lot of sacrifices in order for it to be where it is today. “The founders spent a lot of time and money to ensure the existence of the school so that all of you here today can be here,” he said.

employment multiplier. The biggest challenge we face on the Hibiscus Coast is youth unemployment in both urban and rural areas. What we need is a strategy to not only address youth unemployment but, perhaps more importantly, to address the current growing levels of frustration among the youth. Step one is to engage with the youth in an organised and constructive manner. Initiatives are already under way to establish a non political forum for this purpose. This is a mighty task but it is one that has to be undertaken urgently. The work of this forum will be to map out a future of inclusiveness and opportunity for the youth. Step two is to engage with the business and agricultural sectors to promote initiatives geared to boosting local manufacturing and agricultural activity. In terms of employment potential, these two sectors offer the best short term employment multipliers. In this endeavour, the retail sector is vital because shelves and showrooms must be encouraged to carry locally made goods. In general, all business sectors need to be involved and encouraged to enter into joint ventures with emerging entrepreneurs trading in rural areas, to work together with informal traders and to play a leading role in stabilising the socio economic environment.

Local ON 14 July the new business incubator in Port Shepstone was launched by small business development minister Lindiwe Zulu, who opened the SmartXchange outlet amid much enthusiasm regarding the potential impact on small business development. SmartXchange is an incubator for small businesses operating in the information and communication technology sector. The incubator initiative is supported by the Small Enterprise Development Agency (Seda) and is part of the Seda Technology Programme. Both Seda and the Small Enterprise Finance Agency (Sefa) report to the Department of Small Business Development, which facilitates access to

funding from Sefa. National Last Thursday, 21 July, the monetary policy committee (MPC) of the SA Reserve Bank decided to hold the repo rate at 7%. Market expectations were that rates would not be changed. Slowing inflation and reduced economic growth forecasts were cited as the main contributors to the decision to hold rates in the short-term. On the labour front, momentum is growing for the introduction of a national minimum wage later this year. Amid warnings from organised business that the introduction of a national minimum wage will lead to job losses among low income earners, new research indicates that the majority of sectors would see positive

net effects. Southern Africa Trade and Industry Minister, Rob Davies, plans to meet his Zimbabwean counterpart to discuss Zimbabwe’s unilateral ban on South African imports. Zimbabwe placed a ban on South African imports last month. According to Zimbabwean authorities the ban was instituted to protect local industries. In spite of major technical problems at its China-built Morupule B power station, Botswana is aiming to become a net exporter of power by the end of 2018. Further power generation initiatives in Botswana include a coal-bed methane project as well as solar and thermal power concentrations.

The Haffejee KO Cup final between The Bafana and South Coast VW United will be played at Albersville sports grounds on Sunday. With the prize trophy are (from left) Uusuph Haffejee, Hibiscus Coast Football Association president Ayub Moosa, director Mohammed Haffejee and Ebrahim Haffejee.

ENOWNED karate champion, Sensei Morgan Moss, held a kumite seminar in Margate last week. Young and old came to learn new skills in kumite and selfdefence under the World karate Federation on Tuesday and Wednesday. “Throughout the sessions I

focused on principle development through the use of various skill set development exercises. Sometimes the principle was introduced through an element of play. This area should not be taken for granted because it plays a significant rule in athlete development,” said Moss. He said the ultimate goal of the

camp was to work towards the ADC of kumite - A - attack, D - defence and C - counter). “Each movement can be applied using these principles and the training of these ADC skill sets often resembles a competition fight scenario,” he said. Moss is a three-time WKF world champion. - Supplied.

HE second race in the series of mountain bike challenges took place on Sunday at the Ingeli Forest Resort in Harding. As the cold front hit, there were fears of snow, heavy rain and winds, however a good turnout of cyclists arrived. Current South Coast MTB Series log leader Leeroy Emslie finished in first position making him a firm favourite to win the ultimate R5 000 in prize money, while long-time cyclist Natashka Mowat won the ladies race in fine fashion. A bicycle raffle was also on the go with many tickets sold to help raise funds for a local school, Westbury Prep. The lucky draw will take place at the annual Ingeli Show in Harding mid-September. A big highlight of the race was the exquisite route through the forest and mountainous valleys of Ingeli. Temperatures went well below zero degrees en-route but this didn’t hamper the spirits of the participants. Development rider and upcoming star Mboneni Ngcobo travelled all the way from Pietermartizburg to enter the race and was rewarded with a second place position in the 40km race. - Supplied.
