A number of reasons to celebrate 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 1 X 750 ml are willing to fight for their beloved home towns.

To those people who are continuously going the

extra mile to serve others, we would like to salute you and thank you for allowing us to share your sto­ ries.

This year South Africans voted hoping for the best – many are now glued to the parliament ses­ sion coverage because you never know what to ex­ pect. In 2015 we will be joining the queues for the by­elections and once again, hoping for positive change.

We know we live in a beautiful city and another reason to be a proud Durbanite is Durban has been voted an official new Seven Wonder City of the world.

The picturesque beaches, rolling hills and breath­taking skyline together with a host of won­ derful inhabitants, sets us apart from the rest of South Africa.

After 40 years, the Miss World title is held by 1 x 750ml a South African.

Rolene Strauss was crowned Miss World at the weekend and now features in a long list of remarka­ ble women who continue to make a difference to the countries they live in and the world.

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

It’s been a year since his death and many ques­ tioned the stability and patriotism of South Afri­ cans. The good news is, it seems as if communities are now more united than ever. Many believe his spirit still lives on calling it a sprinkling of ‘Madiba magic’.

Clearly South Africans will continue to make great strides despite the negative news that some­ times comes to the fore.

The Fever would like to wish all our fantastic cli­ 6 x 440ml ents and readers a wonderfully happy festive sea­ 1 x to 750ml son and here’s welcoming 2015 in style.

Municipal workers march against the abuse of colleagues >> Customer slaps municipal worker MAKHOSANDILE ZULU

F

PHOTO: MAKHOSANDILE ZULU

KwaDukuza Municipality's workers with deputy mayor Dolly Govender took to the streets of Ballito last Friday to march against the abuse of their colleagues by members of the public.

OLLOWING an incident in which a KwaDukuza Municipality worker was allegedly assaulted by a disgruntled resident, the municipality's deputy mayor, Dolly Govender together with staff members took to the streets of Ballito in protest.

Acting on behalf of the council, Govender handed over a memorandum to the SAPS detailing concerns around the assault of the employee - a senior clerk at Salt Rock - and similar incidences.

The female municipal worker, who asked to remain anonymous, was allegedly assaulted two weeks ago by an irate male resident.

"He came into the office, he hadn't paid his electricity bill so his power had been cut. My colleague was trying to assist him but he was not interested in what my colleague had to say.

“He actually goaded my colleague and then he left the building.

“He came back about half an hour later and I was in the office on my own. I was also trying to explain to him what the situation is, but he was not interested and he said I must stop screaming and shouting at him and that I need to treat him with respect,” said the woman.

She said the resident was leaning on her desk and had his face up close to hers which made her wary that he might strike so she decided to leave

the office.

“As I put my hands on the armrest of my chair to move back I leaned forward and I touched his head and that is when he hit me,” she said.

She described the customer as a “wild animal”.

She said she did report the matter to the police, but they have not updated her on the matter as yet.

"But more than likely nothing will happen because they [the police] say its common assault, he didn't use a weapon," she said.

The memorandum was handed over to the police following the peaceful march that coursed through Ballito last Friday. >> STORY CONTINUED ON PAGE 3

Municipal workers march against the abuse of colleagues A FROM PAGE 1

nother municipal worker who works in the finance department as a meter reader, Xolani Mkhize said he felt abused when he was bitten by a dog last year at one residence in Salt Rock.

"I went to a residence on Club Road to fulfill my duties as a meter reader.

When I entered at the gate, I met with a lady and when I asked to come in to read the meter she welcomed me in. I then asked her whether her dogs would bite me and she said the dogs are fine, to quote her exact words," said Mkhize.

He said he had taken a few steps in-

to the yard when the dog started barking at him.

"I then asked her whether I should be worried now that the dog is barking but she said the dog is fine," he said.

He said soon after that the dog bit him on his hand.

He said he was taken to hospital where he received 10 stitches to his wound.

Mkhize said when the dog attacked him, the owner did nothing to apprehend the creature but rather screamed out, "Oh God".

He said the dog owner did nothing

Business forum demands Mandeni MM be removed MAKHOSANDILE ZULU PROTEST action broke out in Mandeni last Wednesday which was allegedly staged by locally based contractors who called for the removal of the municipal manager whom they claim overlooks local service providers and businesses when awarding contracts, or tenders.

"A group of people were protesting outside the municipality office. They used their vehicles to block the entrance. Nothing was damaged. A case

The shutdown will re­ sult in water interrup­ tions affecting Stanger Manor, Windy Heights, Doktorskop and Stanger Heights.

The shutdown is a re­ sult of the municipality’s service provider, SBT Civils planned mainte­ nance work to be under­ taken at Stanger Manor Reservoir from 8am un­ til 1pm.

Manzi said this was the first time that the municipality received a complaint of this nature.

He said previous requests by the forum to meet with the municipality have always been honoured and where issues were raised, solutions

Mandeni Municipality spokesperson Mduduzi Manzi said no municipal workers were part of the strike but rather it was members from the Mandeni Business Forum.

He said the municipal executive committee led by mayor Siphesihle Zulu engaged with the protesters to listen to their concerns.

“We are calling on the SAPS to take the necessary steps against those who have abused state employees through emotional intimidation and we will in future rally against those who appear before court for harsh judgements,” the memorandum reads.

on the upliftment of local entrepreneurs," said Manzi.

He said the council is investigating the matter raised by the forum and will respond accordingly in due course.

Manzi said according to municipal records local businesses are getting a fair share of contracts.

"It must be stated that not all business opportunities can be created by the municipality considering its budget and the amount of work that is outsourced. Other sectors, both public and private, are always encouraged to also play their part in prioritising local businesses when doing business within Mandeni," he said.

An assailant positioned directly behind the guard then shoots at him.

The security guard, by that time on the floor, moves around writhing in pain.

In the video, at least three armed robbers are seen.

Police spokesperson Lieutenant-Colonel Thulani Zwane said that security

SECURITY guard was shot while delivering cash to an ATM at a retail store in KwaDukuza on Wednesday.

In the video, a security guard can be seen opening an ATM machine.

When the guard opens the ATM, bystanders begin fleeing, presumably aft-

had been delivering four canisters with cash to the store.

“Whist loading they heard a gunshot and noticed the suspects firing toward them.

“A security guard [was wounded in] the left arm and the suspects fled the scene with an undisclosed amount of cash.”

No arrests were made and a case of armed robbery was opened at KwaDukuza police station for investigation.

Communities urged to join fight against crime Campaign Against Crime and Police Killings because the area has experienced its fair share of violent crimes.

Kaunda said his predecessor, the current KZN Premier Willies Mchunu, had worked flat out to bring about peace in the local taxi industry.

"Despite the Premier's efforts, two weeks ago, two people were killed just outside a tavern in the area. Later it was discovered that one of the deceased was part of the taxi industry," Kaunda said.

He said another taxi violence-related shooting incident that occurred in KwaMaphumulo left a college student wheelchair bound.

"In this very same area, last year during the December period, criminals forced a group of girls into a car, and after traveling a short distance, the girls were forced out of the car and were shot dead," Kaunda said.

He said at some point crime in the ar-

KZN MEC for Transport, Community Safety, and Liasion, Mxolisi Kaunda called on the province's communities to partner with his department, the SAPS, traditional leaders and other crime fighting structures in an effort to bring peace in their areas of residence.

Kaunda was speaking at the launch of the 2016 Safety Month at KwaMaphumulo last Thursday where he said the provincial government is working vigorously to eradicate faction fighting and taxi violence in the area.

The launch was attended by national Minister of Police Nathi Nhleko, iLembe District mayor Sduduzo Gumede, Maphumulo Mayor Matozi KhuzwayoDlamini and traditional leaders.

The MEC said KwaMaphumulo was chosen as a venue to launch Safety Month and the One Million Signatures

ea spilled into local schools and affected teaching and learning.

"At Vukile [High School] we had individuals loitering outside the school premises so that they could sell drugs to school pupils," Kaunda said.

The MEC took taxi owners to task for acquiring the services of paid assassins which exacerbates taxi violence and hampers the growth of the entire industry.

"Taxi owners need to come to the decision that the use of paid assassins needs to end, and say to themselves that the taxi violence is enough," he said.

He commended the police for their work which resulted in the convictions of those suspected of taxi violence in the areas of KwaMaphumulo and KwaDukuza.

The MEC said it is concerning that the police regularly retrieve illegal assault rifles in the KwaMaphumulo area.

ed over to the mayor, that he is corrupt.

The memorandum further claims that Ndimande's mismanagement was to blame for the "rampant service delivery protests" that broke out in the area in the past months.

The memorandum also stated that com­ munity members are kept in the dark about an ongoing housing project in the area and the change of the project's implementing agents.

Another claim made in the memo is that some houses are being built for individuals who never applied for housing and were nev­ er on the beneficiaries list.

Responding to this claim, the KwaDuku­ za Municipality wrote in an email: "The hous­ ing beneficiaries allocated are people that have applied for houses. The projects consist of 2200 houses and we have just built less than 100 houses. The public have a right to

give us a list of those residents who they be­ lieve have not applied for houses [and this list will] be checked. It shall be noted that housing subsidies are approved by the pro­ vincial department and therefore nobody who does not meet criteria can get a house."

With regards to a concern raised in the memo that the community had not been in­ formed and given reasons why SMADA, the contractor originally awarded the tender to build houses in the area, is no longer the im­ plementing agent of the project, the munici­ pality said it cannot comment on any issues relating to SMADA as the issue is currently in court.

The memorandum claims that the con­ tractor won the case against the municipali­ ty.

Residents claim that the road infrastruc­ ture programme currently being rolled out in

the area is encroaching on private premises due to the councillor's failure to consult the affected families.

"The roads project has been reported in a number of public meetings. The roads are part of the IDP, which details the needs of the community.

“Therefore, community members were consulted and are well aware of the project.

The Ward Committee was democratically elected and acts as project steering commit­ tee of all projects. It is expected that they [Ward Committee] will also report back to the community," the municipality respond­ ed.

In the memorandum, a call is made that the previous ward committee should not be re­elected as it had been allegedly incompe­ tent and had failed to hold the councillor ac­ countable.

The memorandum states that the com­ munity is willing to take legal action if their demands are not met.

OPINION

SA and USA parallels

RANJENI MUNUSAMY

A

T a Republican campaign rally in Youngwood, Pennsylvania (U.S.), this week, I was interviewing some fervent Donald Trump supporters who were convinced that their guy would be the next president of the United States.

I asked them the obvious questions: are they not concerned by Trump’s thuggish behaviour and treatment of women, do they think he knows how to run a country, are they not put off by his business

practices and failure to declare his taxes?

Most of them had stock responses.

They said they are not bothered

by Trump’s scandals, conduct or wishy-washy policies and believe that he is a successful businessperson who will “make America great again”.

They are convinced that if his opponent Hillary Clinton wins the election, their way of life will be under attack.

Clinton’s campaign suffered a setback last week when the director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) James Comey, announced that the investigation into her e-mails is being reopened after they discovered potential new evidence on the computer of her aide’s husband.

Comey faced a barrage of criticism for breaking with convention and involving the FBI in a political matter so close to the election.

It has been surreal watching these events and listening to the

views of U.S. voters, while keeping abreast of events back home.

National director of Public Prosecutions Shaun Abrahams announced this week that he is withdrawing the National Prosecuting Authority’s decision to charge Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan with fraud.

Abrahams, like Comey, believed he could fool people into thinking that he was simply doing his job when he was obviously motivated by a political agenda. It had become obvious to everyone that the case against Gordhan would collapse once it came before a judge, and the agenda to hijack the national Treasury would have backfired.

Another parallel between developments in SA and the U.S. is how Trump supporters are choosing to overlook and excuse the obvious flaws in their candidate, and dupe themselves into thinking that he will make a good president.

President Jacob Zuma’s administration has been plagued with scandal, poor performance and the

abuse of the state to enrich a group of politically connected people, including the Gupta family.

Zuma was given the benefit of the doubt when he first took office, even though many people believed he was a compromised figure. He proved that to be a valid concern by being a weak leader who allowed his government to be looted. Zuma was re-elected as ANC leader and state president despite people being aware that he is a bad leader who evades accountability and disrespects his party and the people of South Africa.

The ANC has consistently defended Zuma and excused his bad behaviour, even though it has been costly to the party, both in terms of its reputation and at the ballot box.

The release of the public protector’s interim report on state capture this week seems to have finally opened the ANC’s eyes to what it previously refused to see.

In a statement on Thursday, the ANC said: “… this report provides a concrete basis for the ANC and soci-

ety in general to discuss the allegations contained therein and deal with its outcomes”.

“The ANC has long considered allegations of state capture as an attack on our democratic architecture and an anti-thesis of the values held dear by the ANC … Based on the investigations conducted by the public protector, South Africans have greater clarity of the concerning relationships that those in government and state-owned enterprises interacting with capital and private interests should be wary of.”

But the ANC has yet to confront the president directly about the evidence unearthed in the report or take demonstrable action against its members who have been at the beck and call of the Guptas. South Africa has learnt hard lessons about electing a compromised leader. The United States should be careful not to make the same mistake.

Days of quality radio, good music, gone forever

VUSI MTHALANE IT goes without saying that we all love music and I recently reflected on all the good music I used to listen to on the radio from the mid-eighties up to when radio was taken over by utter noise.

One of my favourite songs is Video Killed the Radio Star by The Buggles.

The song came out in 1979, but the original version was done two years

earlier by Bruce Wolley and the Camera Club. Its title is self-explanatory.

The popularity of TV and music videos was starting to kill radio even as far back as 39 years ago. The irony is that the very same song went down in history as the first music video played on MTV, a TV channel (at that time) strictly dedicated to playing music videos.

I remember hearing the song for the first time and liking it immediately.

It was on Capital Radio 604 in 1993.

Capital Radio, as it was commonly called, was a medium wave (AM) radio station based in Port St Johns in the then Transkei, which was supposed to be a separate country from South Africa.

The main aim of Capital Radio was to broadcast uncensored news and music. Its multiracial line-up of presenters came mostly from the United Kingdom and South Africa and everything about the station went against

the laws of the apartheid South Africa.

When the station started broadcasting in 1979, it could reach listeners in South Africa and give them news they were not supposed to hear and music they were not supposed to listen to.

People of all races would call in and say exactly what was on their mind regarding the political situation of that time without fear. Because it was a medium wave station, ships at sea could pick it up from anywhere in the world and there would be occasional calls from ports in faraway lands.

That used to fascinate me as a teen that a person in the middle of the Pacific was also listening to the same song I was listening to in my house.

I also thought Capital Radio deejays were larger than life itself and were the coolest ever. Many came and went over the years, but listeners will never forget the voices of Steve Bishop, Kevin

Savage, Dave Guselli, Justice Ramohlola, Alan Khan, Tony Blewitt, Kenny Maistry, Treasure Tshabalala, Allan Pierce, and many others.

This was also at a time when you had no idea what your favourite deejay looked like. Some of my most favourite songs of all time today are songs I first heard on Capital Radio.

I can truthfully say my taste in music today was shaped by what I grew up listening to then. The station played almost all genres of popular music and that’s how I am even now.

I have a favourite song in almost every genre and people are surprised by the play-list in my car.

There are some songs they played that I have never heard again. One of them, which I have searched everywhere for, is a 1990 track by a South African group made up of three coloured girls, called the Syndicate Sisters. I can’t recall the title, but I think

it was I’m Missing your Love.

I was devastated when the station closed in 1996 and I believe my life was never the same again. Some of those deejays simply vanished while others moved on to other things.

Alan Khan went to East Coast Radio, Kenny Maistry to Metro FM and Justice Ramohlola can still be heard on Radio 2000 on the breakfast show.

I’m pretty sure Springbok Radio’s loyal listeners know the pain I’m talking about as they also witnessed their radio station close in 1985.

Today only a few radio deejays have that captivating star personality that draws you in. I now mostly listen to talk radio stations and local community radio to keep up with what’s going on around me. The days of quality radio and good music are gone forever and we are left with TV and its repeat programming. Video killed the radio star indeed, as it died an agonising death.

ON October 16, I watched the start of the Tsogo Sun Amashova Pietermaritzburg to Durban cycle race.

Seeing the cyclists with their expensive cycling gear and on the side of the road, the homeless people sleeping, reinforced in me the huge inequality that haunts South Africa.

Together with the South African government, municipalities need to look seriously at the plight of the homeless people. The less-privileged people must not bear the brunt of mismanaged government expenditure.

Globally, the huge numbers of desti-

tute people are largely a result of corrupt and unskilled office holders who routinely mess up the economies of countries.

Daily, I see many homeless people walking with their belongings, making the streets and alleys their place to sleep. At traffic intersections, I see beggars approaching people and asking for money.

Sometimes, while walking on the street, I see beggars trying to get pedestrians to purchase food items for them.

Homelessness is on the increase in South Africa and although the South Af-

rican government is trying to reduce homelessness, poverty and unemployment through various reform programmes such as the Reconstruction and Development Programme (RDP), South Africa still has a long way to go to reducing the effects of poverty and unemployment.

Pervasive corruption and a lack of the rule of law are obstructing the delivery of much-needed resources to those most in need.

In life we loved you dearly, in death we love you still. In our hearts you hold a place that no one else can fill.

It broke our hearts to lose you, but you didn’t go alone for part of us went with you the day God took you home.

WEEKLY

weeklywheels ADVERTORIAL Mr X­haust & Tyre ­ the best exhaust specialists

The most powerful E­Class of all time

T

HE brand is turning the most intelligent executive sedan into the most powerful E-Class of all time in the shape of the next generation of the E 63 4MATIC+ and E 63 S 4MATIC+.

Mercedes-AMG is also setting new benchmarks in this market segment with its innovative technologies. The intelligent drive strategy raises the limits of the performance sedan’s vehicle dynamics to a completely new level. Delivering superior acceleration, the 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine generates up to 450 kW. This makes it the most powerful engine to have ever been installed in an E-Class. At the same time it is even more efficient thanks to a cylinder deactivation system fitted as standard, and thus sets the benchmark in its segment. With acceleration of 3.4 seconds from 0 – 100 km/h the new business limousine is at the top of its class.

The AMG speed shift MCT (multiclutch technology) nine-speed sports transmission is combined with a wet start-off clutch for the first time. This enabled more agile response times to be achieved. Another highlight is the new AMG Performance 4Matic+ all-wheel drive system.

It combines the advantages of various drive configurations. Torque distribution on the front and rear axles, which until now was strongly rear-biased, is fully variable for the first time.

This ensures optimum traction right up to the physical limit, whatever the road conditions.

The expressive exterior design, featuring a new radiator grille and coupéstyle inset bonnet, underlines the performance figures. The next generation of the E 63 thus offers a completely new level of sportiness and comfort on long journeys.

The latest generation of the E 63 4Matic+ and the E 63 S 4Matic+ sees Mercedes-AMG introducing a number of new developments that redefine the performance sedan. Innovative powertrain engineering and maximum performance are combined with distinctive design, exclusive equipment and the latest infotainment features for comprehensive, connected multimedia applications.

“The new E 63 models represent the biggest step forward we’ve ever taken from one generation to the next. Vehicle dynamics were especially important to us.

At the start of the development process, we opted for a fully variable allwheel drive system which, when combined with the advanced performance of the 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine, reaffirms our brand’s ‘Driving performance”’ claim,” says Tobias Moers, chairman of the board of management of Mercedes-AMG GmbH. Every detail of the exterior and interior is designed to enable AMG Driving Performance to be experienced at first hand. The expressive exterior design is all about sinuous edges and defined muscles.

With a completely distinctive design forward of the A-pillar, the sporty front also demonstrates the effort that Mercedes-AMG has put into the styling: for the first time on an AMG sedan, the bonnet is inset between the wings and bumper like on a coupé, thus exhibiting an entirely new, more dynamic approach to the sculpting.

The versatile AMG 4.0-litre twinturbo V8 engine in the E 63 S 4Matic+ takes peak performance to a new level at 450 kW. Maximum torque attains a

The Mercedes­ Benz E­Class.

new best value of 850 Nm. It is available over a broad engine speed range of 2500 to 4500 rpm and so provides a feeling of effortless superiority in every accelerator pedal position. A sprint from zero to 100 km/h is absolved in 3.4 seconds, and this dynamic acceleration only ends at the governed top speed of 250 km/h (with AMG Driver’s package: 300 km/h). The E 63 4Matic+ is rated at 420 kW and has 750 Nm of torque. This variant accelerates to 100 km/h in 3.5 seconds.

The advanced AMG 4.0-litre V8 biturbo engine utilises well-proven twin turbocharging, with the two chargers not located outside on the cylinder banks, but rather between them in the V of the cylinders. The advantages of the “hot inner V” are a compact engine design, an immediate response from the twin-scroll turbochargers and low exhaust gas emissions thanks to optimum air flow for the close-coupled catalytic converters.

The interior reinforces the consistently dynamic bias with numerous specially designed details. Ideal for a sporty driving style, the performance sports steering wheel in black leather features a flattened bottom section, Touch Control and electroplated shift paddles, as well as a steering wheel bezel with the

AMG logo.

The driver and front passenger enjoy a secure position in the front sport seats even when driving at speed, thanks to the improved lateral support.

There is a distinctive seat upholstery layout in black nappa leather-Dinamica microfibre, nut brown nappa leather or macchiato nappa leather. The door centre panels match the seat design. AMG Performance seats with integral head restraints can be ordered as an option.

Trapezium-grain aluminium trim elements highlight the sporty aspirations.

In the E 63 S 4Matic+ the interior has been refined further. Highlights include a nappa leather covering for the instrument panel and beltlines, the sports steering wheel with crystal grey 12 o’clock marking and contrasting topstitching, AMG crest in the front head restraints, crystal grey seat piping, IWC-designed analogue clock and seat belts in crystal grey.

The new performance sedan celebrates its world première as Edition 1 on 16 November as part of the Los Angeles Auto Show. The sales release follows on 16 January 2017, with market launch beginning in March 2017.

The Mercedes-AMG E 63 S is due shortly after in South Africa in the second quarter of 2017. - Supplied.

The two doubles games 701 saw Sundowner step up their tempo winning both games, thus landing a 3-2 victory to claim the Randees Sponsored 4-a-side Knockout Cup. The Kwafel Team had to settle for the runner up title. KwaDukuza Darts Association (KDDA) places on record their thanks and appreciation to Randees Electrical for the generous sponsorship.

>> Karate legend addresses world president of the sport KARATE South Africa (KSA) president Sonny Pilllay Hanshi was afforded the rare privilege of addressing the recent WKF world congress 2017 in Linz, Austria recently.

The South African karate legend raised three burning issues that currently presents a challenge to developing countries including, the regular emergence of “so called” dissident karate structures, the huge difference currently prevalent in the technical standard of WKF karate between Europe, Japan and development countries and the assurance of top class “beefed up” security system in countries prone to terrorism attacks hosting world events in order for athletes especially the children to feel safe and protected.

Pillay’s important issues raised received a favourable ear of the WKF World president Antonio Espinos who promised to look deep inside the matter of security and uplifting of the technical levels of tournament karate

amongst the karateka of developing countries.

However, with regards to newly hatched dissident karate associations in South Africa, he responded by categorically starting that it was simply intolerable in terms of the WKF statues and Olympic charter.

“I am particularly proud of the fact that I was given the opportunity by the WKF President Antonio Espinos to present my concerns on behalf of KSA to the congress that was attended by delegates from 180 countries worldwide. Moreover, it’s not often that one is afforded the chance to be heard by such a huge global audience.

“As a matter of interest KSA was also once again firmly endorsed by the world president as the official custodians of karate in South Africa, a fact that puts paid to all the rumour mongering,” added Pillay.

“KSA is the official affiliate of the WKF recognised by the IOC,” stated Antonio Espinos during the congress.

During his visit to Linz, Pillay who also serves as vice president of the Commonwealth Karate Federation (CKF), attended the Commonwealth Karate Federation meeting during which he presented a paper on Durban as a host city for the 9th forthcoming Commonwealth Karate Championships scheduled for September 2017.

The Commonwealth Karate Federation executive council warmly received the presentation of Durban as host city of the 2017 event and fully supported it hence, Durban was confirmed as host city with more that 30 countries from around the globe expected to converge on the shores of Durban at the end of August 2017.

“I am delighted that our city of Durban has been confirmed as hosts of the Commonwealth Karate Championships 2017,” said Pillay.
