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 are willing to fight for their beloved home towns. To those people who are continuously going the 1

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 xa 750ml 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 1 x 750ml 1x ents and readers a wonderfully happy festive sea son and here’s to welcoming 2015 in style.

He said the country’s youth are faced with the challenge of unemployment. “Young people between the ages of 15 and 34 years are 36% of the total population of our country, [however], 31% of people between the ages of 25 to 34 years are unemployed,” Zikalala said. He said bearing this in mind makes such an initiative critical as it will assist with giving the country’s citizens relevant skills which would make them independent and economically active. “I believe the expression, which says, ‘give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime’, means that handouts are temporary solutions, but when one receives training, when one is given an education

Pupil allegedly raped at school

Stanger Khidmat Retirement Village fundraiser

>> The matter is still under investigation and no arrests have been made JYOTHI LALDAS

HE community of KwaDukuza is up in arms following a case of alleged gang rape at a local secondary school. It is believed that a female pupil was accosted and raped by four male pupils during school hours on Monday. However, the perpetrators allegedly cut a hole in the fence that surrounded the school grounds, through which they took the girl into the bushes where they allegedly raped her. According to information received from community members it is believed that a group, consisting of boys

and girls, were drinking alcohol on the school grounds in the morning when the incident occurred, however, this is unconfirmed. KZN SAPS spokesperson Captain Nqobile Gwala confirmed the incident was reported on Monday. “The matter is still under investigation and no arrests have been made,” she said. Concerned parents took to the streets outside the school on Tuesday morning demanding answers and for the alleged perpetrators to be brought to book. Lower Tugela circuit manager MAM Ngubande was at the school on Tuesday on behalf of the department of education.

The incident also caused a frenzy on social media where the community expressed their ire and views. Many people called out the security to the school, while some offered assistance to monitor the schools perimeter during mornings and breaks if the school management could not cope. It is believed that a pupil was severely beaten at the school on Tuesday morning, however it is not clear if the incidents are related. Attempts to get comment from the Department of Education were unsuccessful at the time of going to press. Visit the Stanger Weekly Facebook page for updates.

THE Stanger Khidmat Organisation is urg ing the community to support their fund raising dinner on Saturday, 1 October at the MusjidEMunawwar Hall in North Street commencing at 6.15pm.

‘Taxi security meant to protect passengers’ >> MEC calls for strict measures after shooting

Stanger Manor Secondary School pupil Nashlyn Pillay stepped up by donating R2 000 to the Dolphin Coast Hospice Association recently. He is challenging others to match or better his donation in contribution to the construction of the hospice inpatient care facility. He is seen handing over his donation to hospice board members.

In case there’s an

HE KwaZulu-Natal MEC for Transport, Community Safety and Liaison, Mxolisi Kaunda, has called on the Private Security Regulatory Authority (PSIRA) and the South African Police Service (SAPS) to enforce laws prohibiting security companies from displaying firearms in public. This comes after the shooting of six-yearold girl Ziyanda Bomvane by a security guard at the Shakaskraal taxi rank on Monday last week. According to Umhlali SAPS spokesperson Vinny Pillay, the suspect appeared in the Umhlali Periodical Court on Monday, 19 September for attempted murder and was granted R2 000 bail. He said the suspect is due back in court on 24 October and will, every Wednesday, report

to the Umhlali SAPS to sign for bail conditions. Pillay said the child is still in the Stanger Regional Hospital, but is doing much better as only a fragment of the bullet injured her. It is alleged that when the taxi was about to depart the taxi rank, a security guard opened fire on the taxi driver. Bomvane and another passenger sustained injuries and were rushed to a hospital. Police have confirmed that an investigation is currently underway to establish the circumstances that resulted in the shooting. Kaunda said PSIRA must take action to prove that some security companies conduct themselves irregularly in public areas such as taxi ranks and that these companies tend to behave as though they are autonomous to the law. “Together with PSIRA and the police, we must find ways of holding the recalcitrant se-

curity companies and their personnel to account. It is unacceptable that security guards are allowed to parade heavy weapons in public and threaten the lives of the commuters. This has been left unattended for far too long and we must now work out mechanisms to address this issue and enforce the law. People have a right to protect themselves and their properties, but that cannot happen be at the expense of people’s lives,” Kaunda said. Kaunda said security companies must operate within the law and must at all times act in a manner that promotes commuter safety ensuring that they are protected. “Taxi ranks are public areas and no one has a right to hold people to ransom. We are deeply concerned that security companies in taxi ranks have previously been caught in the forefront of violence and killings in the taxi industry. In some cases, security guards have been arrested and sentenced for violence in the taxi industry. We call on the taxi industry to also assess the role of security companies they employ and help clamp down their untoward behaviour,” said Kaunda. SANTACO iLembe District regional chairperson Bongani Musawenkosi Mkhwanazi said the council found it confusing and of a concern that such an incident occurred when security guards are meant to protect passengers. He said that he was also concerned that the weapon the guard was carrying had its bullet up in the chamber when it should not have been. “We empathise with those who were injured during this incident and the community at large. We, as a council, would like to make it clear to the community and our passengers that we have the utmost respect for them,” Mkhwanazi said. He said SANTACO would meet with the Dolphin Coast Taxi Association – the security guard in question is employed by the association – to get to the bottom of the issue and find solutions to avoid a similar incident occurring in future. According to a statement issued by the provincial department of Transport, last year the department convened a meeting with security companies contracted in the greater KwaDukuza area following a shooting which resulted in the death of four people in the area.

MHLALI SAPS spokesperson Vinny Pillay raised concerns about child safety and other related matters when he was speaking to the Weekly recently. One such concern, he said, was that an increased number of parents leave minors to look after their children

when they head to work or other appointments which may equate to abandonment and could result in the parents being charged with child neglect. He urged parents to ensure that their children are being looked after by elderly guardians over the age of 18 as matters of such a nature are being treated as a serious issue by the SAPS.

Furthermore, Pillay expressed his concern over the ill-discipline of school pupils and the number of cases of bullying within school premises. He said school pupils have grown disruptive and chaotic and that they disrespect their teachers. A video which shows two Stanger Manor Secondary School pupils in a brawl went viral on Facebook recently

which prompted the Department of Education to investigate who had leaked the video and it may have led to one of the pupils in the video being further victimised after the incident. Pillay urged parents in and around the Umhlali, KwaDukuza areas to contact him on 073 310 0103 with regards to issues pertaining to child safety. In an unrelated matter, Pillay urged local beachgoers to be wary when hiding their car keys or other values in the

In conclusion, Zulu emphasised the importance of collective leadership and unity among councillors and management. “It is imperative that we learn from each other in order to achieve greater heights,” he said. The council also revised the organogram (Municipal Structure) and critical positions were identified. This was a subject to be discussed by the senior management with unions. It was agreed that the council should implement some of the resolution taken so that Mandeni will move forward.

WEEKLY

NFP president calls for unity MAKHOSANDILE ZULU THE National Freedom Party (NFP) held its Sibuyile (We Are Back) provincial rally on Saturday in Ntshawini to introduce its plan and strategy towards reviving the organisa tion for the 2019 provincial and national elections. The party’s provincial chairperson Vikiz itha Mlotshwa presided over the rally deliv ering the keynote address on behalf of party president Zanele KaMagwazaMsibi who has been out of the public eye for most of the time since falling ill in 2014. “I must extend an apology for failing to attend the meeting due to matters related to my health,” Mlotshwa read the presi dent’s message. He said that KaMagwazaMsibi wishes to express her dismay over the fact that not only the party’s opposition is making auda cious remarks about her health, but that NFP members are doing the same as well. “Some have gone as far as to say that I am leading the party while lying in bed. I find such talk to be very abusive especially when it comes from within the party,” Mlotshwa said on behalf of the party’s pres ident. He said it is KaMagwazaMsibi’s hope that the rally is used to confront the chal lenges that threaten the party’s existence following its failure to take part in the recent local government elections. According to Mlotshwa, the party’s pres ident is of the view that those responsible for the organisation’s failure to meet the deadline to pay its registration fee for the elections should be held accountable. Mlotshwa said the party’s leader stated that though the rally would help renew the

organisation that does not mean it had en tirely overcome its numerous challenges, but that the rally would help provide direc tion for party members. “Just like a sign post, this rally points to our special elective conference and perhaps to the 2019 elections. The big question then is are we ready to face the obstacles that lie ahead? If the answer is yes, do we have the mental and physical strength to reach our destiny? Do we even have enough ca pacity? Do we really want to get to our des tination together and unharmed?” Mlotshwa said on behalf of KaMagwaza Msibi. He said she also wishes to warn party members to be wary of leaders who have ulterior motives which might not be in line with the party’s, and its members’ goals as history had shown that this is detrimental to the organisation. “We elected individuals into leadership positions because we hoped that they would take us to our destination. But alas, they led us to a disaster. Let's not repeat a similar mistake. Let's not allow a person to take the driving seat when their ultimate goal is merely a senior position,” Mlotshwa read the president’s message. He said KaMagwazaMsibi said if party members are determined to hold a special elective conference in December then the party’s branches should be launched, with parallel structures being disbanded and those responsible for establishing these held accountable. “Let’s ensure that membership books and receipts are available and given to ev erybody, not the selected few,” Mlotshwa said on behalf of the party’s president. Mlotshwa said KaMagwazaMsibi called for unity among party members, urg ing them to avoid factionalism and be mindful of gatekeeping and the use of money to sow division within the party’s ranks. “I have seen trusted comrades throw ing away their moral compass just because they have benefitted financially. This is dangerous and can have serious repercus sions in our organisation going forward,” Mltshwa read KaMagwazaMsibi’s mes sage.

HILD Welfare SA - KwaDukuza chairperson Sandeep Oudhram flew KwaDukuza’s flag high when he delivered a presentation on fundraising at the Child Welfare South Africa General Assembly this past week in Bloemfontein. Also attending the assembly was Pravin Sham (treasurer), Penny Dhaver (senior social work manager), Karnegie Govender (social work manager) and Bongani Ndlovu (community development worker). More than 100 societies from the nine different provinces attended. Oudhram’s presentation was based on the fundraising projects initiated by Child Welfare SA-KwaDukuza. He shared with delegates how the current recession is affecting child welfare societies and highlighted the negative impact of the recession and

high unemployment rates on the income generated from fundraising projects. Oudhram also shared fundraising ideas with the delegates. He announced the launch of Project L3 - Live, Love and Learn and how the new fundraising concept can benefit child welfare societies. He encouraged all welfare societies in the country to participate in the project that involves the sale of wrist bands and badges depicting the child protection theme. Oudhram also highlighted the Winter Fair, street collections and jumble sales that are held annually to sustain the society and discussed the importance of marketing strategies to encourage support from the community. He offered to assist and guide other societies with fundraising initiatives. Oudhram’s presentation received an overwhelming response from the

delegates. Many societies expressed keen interest in Project L3 and the Winter Fair. Oudhram has since been invited by societies nationally to share his fundraising concepts with them. According to Dhaver they were also given an opportunity to showcase the society’s projects at the General Assembly. “An exhibition stand was set up to show case our community development projects, Project L3 and the Groutville Community Care Homes [the largest cluster foster care scheme administered by a society in Kwa-Zulu Natal]. “The exhibition stand gave our society an opportunity to market Project L3 nationally as well. The response was very positive and encouraging. Delegates were very impressed by the work done and commended the society’s projects.”

Nkandla lives on >> The Nkandla saga should be a lesson to Jacob Zuma that he cannot act with impunity

RANJENI MUNUSAMY THE African National Congress probably doesn’t care much about the chatter that Nelson Mandela is now a medical zombie, alive but not living. It is widely speculated on social networks that the 95-year-old Madiba will remain in intensive care limbo until his death can be unveiled to the

maximum benefit of the ANC in the run-up to next year’s general election. For after all, if such speculation is vile calumny, the ANC will point to it as merely another example of the paranoia that in 1994 had local whiteys stocking up on tinned food. And in the unlikely event that it is true, anyone who matters would probably agree that Mandela, were he compos mentis, would acquiesce in such an act of oblation. He sacrificed the best years of his life for the cause, why would he not gladly surrender the few, final painful grains? These latest rumours are outlandish but not unprecedented. From the first day of Mandela’s hospitalisation in the early hours of June 8 with a serious lung infection, it has been difficult to separate fact from fiction. It’s been a case of spin doctors rath-

er than medical doctors. Instead of daily detailed medical bulletins, the enormous public interest in the health of the world’s secular saint has had to make do with irregular, anodyne updates from presidential spokesperson Mac Maharaj. With hordes of journalists struggling for the past 11 weeks to fill regular crossings to “our reporter on the spot”, it was inevitable that the scantily available facts would be laced with speculation. Maharaj at one stage rebuked the media and the public for all the “unhelpful and hurtful” rumours. Any possible corrective effect of such stern words was negated just days later by Maharaj’s admission that at least one of those rumours was correct — the ambulance taking Mandela to hospital two weeks earlier had indeed broken down, leaving its critically ill patient

en. While the prevention of HIV/Aids is important, promoting the new condoms is disingenuous. Sanitary products and menstrual hygiene are basic human necessities and rights, and not luxuries. If condoms can be freely available to all, then there is no reason why essential items like sanitary pads cannot be freely available from public hospitals and clinics.

According to reports, an estimated seven million girls miss school for some days every month because of a lack of access to hygiene products to take care of themselves during that time of the month. Girls in learning institutions should not be deprived of education because of a problem that is easily resolvable. Helping girls to manage menstruation can improve school and university attendance. I support the call for sanitary towels to be made accessible to the less privileged females in our country. MOHAMED SAEED

Brine in chicken is theft on a grand scale THE South African Poultry Producers’ Associa tion ought to be brought before the Competi tion Commission with regards to the content of brine injected into frozen chickens. It might have been academic all these years, but now, with foreign imports making an en trance in the South African market, the public is only too aware of the content of water being pumped into chickens to increase their weight. Chicken is the cheapest form of poultry for the poorest consumers, but if these poor con sumers have to pay for up to 40% frozen water in each chicken, then this is grand theft happen ing on a massive scale. We do need to protect local industry and lo cal jobs, but many people do not know that 40% of their chicken consists of water. All brined foreign imports should also be banned in the interests of the consumers. T. JEEBODH

tives brought an urgent court application against Mandla in which they asserted that Madiba was in a “permanent vegetative state” and that the physicians had recommended switching off the life-support machines. This was quickly contradicted by the presidency, but it refused to explain further, out of “respect” for Mandela’s privacy. In the absence of regular bulletins from credible medical doctors — not lay assessments delivered en passant by ex-wife Winnie, who is clearly basking in her return to the media spotlight — rumours, whispers and innuendo will dominate. Respect for Mandela does not mean pandering to a dysfunctional extended family. The presidency should ask itself how Mandela would want the matter handled. If it is uncertain about the answer, and it shouldn’t be, given Mandela’s humility and openness while in office, it could simply ask Graça Machel. She is, after all, his actual wife and immediate heir. She also appears to be the only one in the inner circle who really understands what the words “dignity” and “respect” mean.

A job for Chuck Norris

Sanitary towels should be accessible INSTEAD of promoting the new and free flavoured condoms, the government should rather heed the call by the students of the University of the Witwatersrand, who are demanding that the government do away with the “tampon tax”, which is the major cause of hygiene products becoming increasingly unaffordable for women. In addition, the campaign is also calling on the management of Wits to provide free sanitary towels to wom-

stranded at the side of the road. While government has been secretive and evasive, the fractious Mandela clan has, without a semblance of decorum, paraded in public its tawdry in-fighting. Nevertheless, they unabashedly kept urging the same media to whom they were leaking information, to “respect” Madiba. For example, eldest daughter Makaziwa Mandela lambasted the “crass” media and accused the “racist” foreign press of insensitivity to cultural boundaries. If they “really cared” about Mandela, it was not necessary that “everything of his has to be out there in the public”. This self-righteousness was rather poorly timed. Days later, the squabbling Mandela heirs were feeding to the “racist” and “crass” media the gory details of the secret exhumation of three of Madiba’s deceased children by his estranged grandson Mandla Mandela. Then Makaziwa and 15 other rela-

OPINION

JUST who can replace the awesome Thuli Madonsela as public protector? Obviously somebody with great integrity, determination, resilience, strength and legal knowledge and experience. As the ruling party ANC is likely to feel hugely disenfranchised after the August polls, we can only

plead with Chuck Norris to be our public protector, as law and order are trademarks of his left and right legs, and intimidating him is impossible. Please, Chuck, South Africa needs you. You have made the U.S. safe, and this is a job only you can Nkandla the stress of. ROBERT NICOLAI

Not much to watch on DStv DEAR MultiChoice, I think it’s perhaps time to take the “choice” out of your logo. I’m not really sure what I’m paying R800 a month for, and it’s going up rapidly, or why really. Unfortunately, your clever marketing strategy of not putting all the sport chan nels into a bouquet is, in my case, working. If I didn’t enjoy sport I would most defi nitely cancel my subscription forthwith. As a subscriber with an IQ of somewhere over 80, I actually enjoy good dramas, and not just the gratuitous violence in Ameri ca. Nor do I enjoy endless repeats of Pawn Star, obese people, Dawg someone, Swamp fellahs, the Kardashians, Cheat ers (need I go on). I was extremely happily surprised

when channels 102, 123 and 119 actually had something worth watching. It felt like Christmas, with a bonus on top. Now, for some months, these have fol lowed your moneysaving trend of rotat ing the repeats. I feel like a hamster on a wheel. Each month I go through your book hopefully (noting that the channels I like most aren’t in there), marking anything that is worth watching. Well, as you can imagine, my book is bare. Perhaps as a little thank you, you could bring a few British or Australian dramas back. If that’s too expensive, maybe a new Bondi Vet series, or even Village Vets would do.

Things need to change

children in schools. Well done South Africa. You shall reap what you sow, and we have lost a whole generation and turned them into selfish, disrespectful brats who have no respect for people, property and authority. Things need to change. What happened to the old days when children were fearful and respectful of their elders?

RIP South Africa. You went soft on disci pline. You raised the cost of living so high that both parents are always at work, rather than spending time with their chil dren. You took God out of schools. Parents are told they can’t discipline their children. Teachers are prevented from disciplining

sins and they offer thanks for the life on earth and its preservation. Story and significance During Purtassi, Lord Vishnu is worshipped in his reincarnation as Lord Venkateswara (Balaji). There are many legends associated with this festival. According to one legend, Lord Vishnu came to earth in the month of Purtassi. The form he acquired was that of Lord Balaji. Therefore, devotees flock to the Tirupati temple at this time of the year. According to another legend During this month, long time ago in South India there was a bad drought, it had not rained for some time, there were no crops for harvest and people were heading for starvation. The people turned to prayers and made vows to the Lord they worshipped called Vishnu. Thereafter there came rains and fresh harvest could be produced. Since then, every year during this period the Tamils observe a fast which entails eating only vegetables, in grati-

tude towards Lord Vishnu. Purtassi prayers During Purtassi, devotees fast for a month but prayers are offered only on Saturdays. This is because Saturday is free from the influence of the planet Saturn (believed to bring bad luck). Positive energies flow at this time and this is a motivation for people to pray. People either pray at home or they may visit temples to pray together. Prayers are usually conducted in the late afternoon, so that devotees can break their fast after offering prayers. Lord Vishnu is invoked by chanting holy verses from Garuda Parthu and Thirunaam Padhigam.

Vadas, fruits, payasam and other sweet dishes are some of the items prepared. Then a mixture made with milk, sugar and Tulsi leaves are made and

This movement signifies the journey of the Lord from darkness to light. Each verse of their prayer ends with them chanting ‘Govinda! Govinda!’. Prayers are accompanied with the singing of hymns, ringing of bells and the blowing of conch shells. Practices followed during Purtassi Devotees eat only vegetarian food during the month of Purtassi. This allows them to discipline their diet and cleanses their body of all toxic heat-producing substances. They abstain from smoking and drinking and sexual activity during this period. They try to cleanse their minds of any impure thoughts and observe a disciplined lifestyle. Purtassi is a major festival among Tamil-speaking Indians in South Africa. This festival brings the community together in a joint celebration. -Midrand Hindu Maha Sabha

UKILE High School was recently crowned provincial champions of the Road Safety Debate organised by the Department of Transport.

to represent KZN in the national competition,” Mchunu said. He said through the debate pupils learnt about the importance of good behaviour on the road. Each pupil on the winning debating team was awarded a Mercer Tablet, certificate and a trophy. “This shows that there is nothing impossible and there’s no substitute for a hard work and diligence. “We thank everyone who supported us,” Mchunu said.

Harry Bodasing Primary School ran a collection programme at school collecting, clothes, teddy bears, toiletries, nappies, and food items for the Inqolobane Chil dren’s Home in Stewarts, New Guelderland recently. The school has partnered with the home to render as sistance since the beginning of the year. Handing over the donation to care givers are Mrs M.L.C Ngwane (front, left), acting HOD Mr S. Samuel (front, right) and Mr S. Hanuman (back right).

N the spirit of unity avid walkers who gathered for the Walk for Values on Saturday marched on despite the heavy rain. The Upper North Coast region of The Sathya Sai International Organisation hosted the Walk for Values which commenced from Sai Shruthi. The theme selected by the region for the 2016 walk was “Be the change you want to see in the world”. Young and old gathered to participate where no money is solicited, instead, people are asked to pledge to try to live up to one or more human values in their lives in the hope that “one will make the world richer by giving one’s commitment to practice values and characterbuilding”. The Dolphin Coast Bikers MCC lead the procession followed by a lead vehicle, children and adults. The aim of the Walk for Values was to reach out to the public to generate public awareness for values,

Weekend of family fun in store at the Vodacom 4U Ballito Spring Fair A WEEKEND of great exhibitions, extreme biking demonstrations and outdoor family fun is planned for the Vodacom 4U Ballito Spring Fair taking place at Sugar Rush, Ballito from 1 to 2 October, from 9am to 5pm. “KwaZulu-Natal experiences some of the best spring weather and we want to give people a chance to take advantage of this warm, relaxed lifestyle while enjoying some great food, music and entertaining activities,” said event organiser, Gavin Horn. “The two-day celebration will be focused on family, community and fun in a safe, open-air setting.” Visitors to the Vodacom 4U Ballito Spring Fair will be treated to a variety of quality exhibitions by leading property, automobile and retail organisations. Some of these will include Elan Group’s Blythedale Coastal Resort, Mount Richmore Estate, G2 Construction, Schloomfy Comfort Co, BMW Autohaus, Mercedes Benz uMhlanga, Ballito Ford, Land Rover Ballito, Vespa, Mascor, Hooked Up Motorsports and many others. There will also be several furniture and clothing retailers bringing with them high quality products for sale. To ensure you don’t go hungry, a variety of food stalls will sell tantalising

dishes while the beer garden will keep adults refreshed throughout. A fully-equipped children’s play area is sure to be a hit with all youngsters under the age of 12. And setting the mood for this festive fair will be some of South Africa’s top musicians – including renowned artists James Robertson and Peter Guthrie of Spoonfeedas. Those with a flair for treasure hunts can take full advantage of the ‘Dig 4 Gold’ challenge. After purchasing a ticket, participants will enter a massive ball pit where they need to search for either a silver or gold coin, either of which will win the seeker a prize. Those lucky enough to find the elusive gold coins will find themselves with a massive prize in the form of a cellphone, surfboard, hotel accommodation or other extravagant gifts. Two of the country’s top bikers will keep audiences captivated with their life-risking demonstrations which will take place twice daily. Red Bull FMX rider, “Sick Nick” de Wit, will show why he is such an internationally renowned freestyle motocross rider. Having competed at national and regional motocross events from the age of

17, De Wit eventually found his niche in FMX. He went on to take the 2002 South African FMX Championship and started riding professionally the following year, after which he went on to dominate the South African scene. In 2004 he entered the international circuit but has most recently turned his focus on FMX demos where he shares his biking passion with audiences. Also pulling in the crowds will be 10time supermoto and trials’ champion, Brian Capper, renowned for his daredevil antics and obstacles. Riding motocross from the age of 9 and trial biking from 11, Capper took his first national title at 18 after which he competed in American National Championships where he placed 7th overall. Capper has also competed in the national offroad championship as well as winning the Roof of Africa title. However, he is best known for his incredible stunts including biking over the Moses Mabhida Stadium arch in 2011 – 105m off the ground. Make sure you don’t miss out on any of the action taking place at the Vodacom 4U Ballito Spring Fair by booking your tickets early. Tickets at www.ticketpro.co.za - Supplied.

Hospice springs into new season MAKHOSANDILE ZULU THE Dolphin Coast Hospice celebrated Spring Day on Wednesday, 31 August, by hosting an informative talk graced by Ward councillor councillor Jennifer Vallen. Day care manager Chin Suriah said the hos-

pice was blessed to host Vallen as a guest speaker who spoke about women empowerment and some of the benefits that the frail and elderly can take advantage of from the municipality. He said the hospice board would like to express their gratitude to councillor Vallen and everyone who made the day a success.

ALLITO will be served a carnival-sized helping of hilarious stand-up comedy when the first ever Ballito Comedy Carnival hits town in September! The biggest ever comedy event in Ballito, the Ballito Comedy Carnival, taking place from 30 September to 2 October at the La Montagne Resort, features legendary funny men Marc Lottering and Mark Banks, who will be supported by a string of top local acts, as well as comics on tour from JHB and Cape Town. Cape Comedy icon, Marc Lottering, has thrilled comedy audiences for years with his signature style of storytelling, enjoying widespread acclaim with his box office hit shows “From the Cape Flats with Love”, “I Don’t Work on Sundays” and most recently “Hashtag Lottering”. He has played the biggest stages in the country and toured internationally, entertaining audiences in London, Australia and Dubai. Equally accomplished is SA comedy legend, Mark Banks, winner of the Lifetime

Achievement Award at the Savanna Comics’ Choice Awards last year. This is the man who has had South Africa “ripped” with his tell-it-like-it-is, in-yourface brand of comedy, offering a unique, often sarcastic-laden, perspective on current affairs and issues that really cause us bother. Also participating in the Carnival of Funny is Durban’s own Neville Pillay - a firm favourite in KZN, this hilarious stand-up comedian, accomplished writer and actor (‘Attack of the Indian Werewolf’, ‘31 Million Reasons’ , ‘Curry And Vice’), and award-winning morning radio show host is practically a household name. Comedy goers can also look forward to the mirth-laden antics of Kelvin Stoffels, Arnotte Payne, Khanyisa Bhunu (JHB), Masood Boomgaard, Gino Fernandez (CPT), Devin Gray (CPT), Jem Atkins and Neil Green, who will all feature over the weekend. The Ballito Comedy Carnival is a celebration of all things funny and is not to be missed. Tickets are R120 and are available from Computicket and Checkers.

THE fivekilometre Color Run™ returns to Durban and comes to Pietermaritzburg for the first time on Sunday 2 October and in Durban on Sunday 9 October. The Color Run™ boasts more colour, sparkles, and highlights shining through, “the happiest five kilome tres on the planet”. This year brings with it a new venue and a fabulous new route, says The Color Run SA national event coor dinator, Trevor Latimer. “The Durban run starts from the Durban North Col lege and the PMB run starts at Epworth School – both routes giving us access to some of the city’s most scenic views, and we can’t wait to introduce rainbows to every kilometre of it.” With headline sponsor, Capitec Bank on board once again, the fun and festivities promise to be every bit as exciting as KZN Color runners have come to expect from the original paint race. Capitec Bank’s head of communications Charl Nel says: “Capitec strongly supports The Color Run’s princi ples of healthiness, happiness, individuality, and giving back, which is why we have continued our longstand PHOTO: SUPPLIED ing relationship with AdoptaSchool, allowing us to At last year’s Color Run. contribute to schools in each area in which the event takes place. We donate R10 for each ticket purchased to a deserving school identified by AdoptASchool.” The 2016 Durban Color Run recipient has been named as the Maphumuzana Primary School in Umla zi. “Through AdoptaSchool, we have learnt that Ma phumuzana Primary requires teacher development and classroombased support programmes in natural sciences. All money raised will be donated to this cause.” Phangindawo Primary in Cato Ridge, is the identi fied recipient for the Pietermaritzburg event. All mon ey raised will go towards building the school a vegeta ble garden. Latimer stresses that The Color Run is not about one day of fun. “We hope that Color runners will experience healthiness as enjoyment, and this will encourage them to make focus on The Color Run principles, which arguably form the foundation of a fulfilling life.” In addition to raising money through Adopta School, individual charities and schools can form their own fund raising pro grammes.

>> Set to hit roads in 2017

HE 2016 Paris Motor Show will see Porsche unveil its latest addition to its Panamera line-up; the new Panamera 4 E-Hybrid. The new hybrid is fitted with allwheel drive and Porsche claims a pure battery-powered range of 50km. The plug-in hybrid generates 340kW/700Nm and with a claimed fuel consumption of 2.5-litres/100km and emissions of 56g/km. Purely electric range of 50km The new Porsche plug-in hybrid always starts in purely electric mode and continues as a zero-emission vehicle up to a range of 50km at a max-

imum speed of 140km/h. The allwheel Porsche achieves a top speed of 278km/h. The four-door hybrid sportscar breaks the 100km/h sprint in just 4.6 seconds. Hybrid strategy based on the 918 Spyder As with the 918 Spyder, the power of the Panamera electric motor 100kW/400Nm - is made available as soon as the driver touches the accelerator pedal, says Porsche. Following the same set-up of the super sportscar, the electric motor is available to deliver additional power at all times. Together with the performance

characteristics of the new 2.9-litre V6 biturbo engine(243kW/450Nm), Porsche says the power unit 'generates impressive boost'. The high-voltage battery takes just 5.8 hours to fully charge via a 230-V, 10-A connection. If the driver chooses to use the optional 7.2kW onboard charger and a 230-V, 32-A connection instead of the standard 3.6kW charger on the Panamera, the battery fully charges in just 3.6 hours. The first units of the Panamera 4 E-Hybrid can be expected locally by mid-2017. Prices have not yet been announced. - Wheels24.

Volkswagen will build ubiquitous Polo Vivo in Kenya VOLKSWAGEN continues to drive forward with the regionalisation of the global automotive business. The brand is planning to start production of the Polo Vivo in Kenya at the end of 2016. An agreement to that effect was signed in Nairobi recently by the Kenyan government and Thomas Schaefer, chairman and managing director of Volkswagen South Africa in the presence of Kenyan president H.E. Uhuru Kenyatta. This is an important step by the Volkswagen brand towards engaging further in new emerging markets – with the right products and knowhow from the region. Volkswagen is expanding its commitment in Africa with local production of the Polo Vivo in the Kenyan city of Thika near Nairobi. The project, which will be jointly realised with the importer DT Dobie, will be Volkswagen’s third production facility in Africa – alongside the South African factory and a local production facility in Nigeria. It plans to build up to 5 000 units of the Polo Vivo per year at the plant

operated by Kenya Vehicle Manufacturers (KVM) from 2017. Schaefer said: “We are taking the successful Polo Vivo from South Africa to Kenya to leverage the enormous growth potential of the African automobile market and participate in its positive development. This compact model is the best-selling car in the Sub-Saharan region – so it is the ideal entry model for the promising Kenyan market. “With this move, we are strengthening the brand’s overall position in Africa and taking an important step towards expanding our commitment in the region.” Kenyatta said: “The investment by the Volkswagen Group in Kenya is a key milestone in my administration’s determined push to grow the manufacturing base and industrialised the nation.” In addition to production of the Polo Vivo from the end of 2016 it is also planned to establish a local training centre to qualify production workers and provide further training. The centre will initially focus on

the needs of the Volkswagen production team. Later on it is planned to provide basic training for young people to learn general industrial skills, thereby increasing employment opportunities in the region in general. Kenya is one of Africa’s emerging markets. The country plays a prominent role among East African nations and with a GDP of some $63-billion, it is one of the strongest economies in the East African Community (EAC). Kenya is also an important transit country for trade throughout East Africa. The good economic relations between Kenya and Germany also benefit from ongoing strategic political support. A long tradition links Volkswagen and Kenya - back in the 1960s, Volkswagen assembled the Beetle in Kenya. The brand is now returning to the country, initially with the Polo Vivo. It is also planned to review local production of further Volkswagen models should the new vehicle market show positive development. - Wheels24.

Kepha ngithanda ukudlulisa amazwi okuxolisa ngokungaphumeleli ukuba phakathi kwenu ngenxa yezizathu eziphathelene nempilo yami. Kodwa ngifuna ukuninika isiqiniseko sokuthi sengizizwa ngingcono kakhulu kunesikhathi abaningi benu abangibona ngaso ezinyangeni ezimbili ezedlule. “Futhi ngithanda ukugcizelela ukuthi ngingcono kakhulu ngoba nangale kokuthi odokotela basho kanjalo, nami uqobo ngizizwa kanjalo. Ngikusho lokhu ngoba kuningi okukhulunywayo ngesimo sempilo yami. Okungiphatha kabi ukuthi akukhulumi kuphela labo esiphikisana nabo ngokwezepolitiki, kukhona nabanga-

Uthe kungumbono kaNkk Magwaza-Msibi ukuthi labo abenza ukuthi leliqembu lingabi yingxenye yokhetho lohulumeni basekhaya kumele bathathelwe izinyathelo ezifanelekile. Uthe: “Kuyakhathaza kakhulu ukuthi kukhona abaholi baleliqembu abakwazi ukukhuluma nabezindaba beziphendulele kodwa abakaze bekwazi ukuzehlisa bezoxolisa kumalungu aleliqembu ngalokhu okwenzeka,” kusho uMnuz Mlotshwa efunda umlayezo kaMongameli waleliqembu. Uqhube wathi uNkk MagwazaMsibi unethemba lokuthi lo mhlangano uzovuselela leliqembu kodwa kumele amalungu aqaphele engazitsheli ukuthi konke sekulungile kodwa akwazi ukuthola indlela eyaphambili umakuphethwa umhlangano. Uthe: “Lo mhlangano uzophendla indlela eya kwinkomfa yokukhethwa kobuholi beqembu kanye nokhetho lukazwelonke lwango-2019. Umbuzo

obalulekile okumele sizibuze wona uthi: sikulungele yini ukubhekana nezithiyo ezizoqhamuka?” kusho uMnuz Mlotshwa efunda umlayezo kaNkk Magwaza-Msibi. Uqhube wathi uMongameli waleliqembu ufisa ukuxwayisa amalungu alo ukuba aqaphele abaholi abanezinhloso ezingahambisani nombono weqembu namalungu alo. Uthe: “Ngaphambilini sakhetha abaholi ngoba sinethemba lokuthi bazosiholela lapho esasihlose ukuya khona kodwa bahluleka basiholela kwinhlekelele enkulu. Kumele siqinisekise ukuthi asiliphindi lelophutha lokukhetha ubuholi obungekho qotho,” kusho uMnuz Mlotshwa efunda umlayezo kaNkk Magwaza-Msibi. Uqhube wathi uMongameli uthe uma amalungu aleliqembu ekuphokophelele ukusingatha inkomfa yokukhethwa kobuholi beqembu ngenyanga kaZibandlela (December) kumele aqinisekise ukuthi zonke izinto nezinhlaka zeqembu zimingomumo. Uthe uNkk Magwaza-Msibi unxuse amalungu eqembu ukuba abumbane futhi agweme ukuthi imali idlale indima ekwenzeni uqhekeko kuleliqembu. UMnuz Mlotshwa ufunde umlayezo kaMongameli waleliqembu kanje: “Njengo Mongameli lento iyangikhathaza kakhulu ngoba ingaba nomthelelo ongemuhle eqembini lethu.” UNkk Magwaza-Msibi wagula kakhulu waze wangeniswa esibhedlela ngonyaka ka-2014.
