Surviving BREAST CANCER >> Women inspires others with cancer to live life to the fullest KALISHA NAICKER

>>kalisha@witness.co.za

N March 2011 Highway resident Charnell Ruth experienced a burning and tingling sensation in her left breast. Three weeks later she felt a lump and within weeks a biopsy confirmed thatthelumpwasaDuctalCarcinoma of the breast (breast cancer). The 39-year-old professional nurse felt as if her worst nightmare became a reality and that she would wake up one day and it would all be “okay”. “The reality of my situation dawned on me for the first time when I was lying on the examination table feeling the pain of the biopsy needle being pushed into my breast,” explained Ruth. “For the first time in my life I was scared. For the first time in my life I was the patient - not the nurse. And for the first time in my life I needed

someone to hold my hand as I had held the hands of my patients to comfort them, and yet, I was alone.” Ruth’s denial moved swiftly into fear. After several screening tests to make sure her body was strong enough to handle the chemotherapy, she began treatment in June. She said that with the advice from her doctors she decided to undergo chemotherapy before surgery in the hope that the chemo would shrink the tumour. This would enable the doctors to do a lumpectomy rather than a mastectomy. However, life threw Ruth a curve ball, as an MRI scan of the breast showed that there were in fact multiple lesions, which required a mastectomy. “This is when anger set in, and the fear continued unabated. But it was never a fear of dying, it was a fear of what was going to be left of me when they were finished? Would I be able to accept myself and live with myself?

Let alone be accepted by others,” she said. “In spite of all this dread that was surrounding me, I was blessed by the fact that my two primary doctors - the breast surgeon and plastic surgeon were both ladies. Realising the very negative emotional space that I was in at the time, they threw me a life line when they said I was a good candidate for an immediate staged breast reconstruction.” PuttingallherfaithinGodandhaving the support of her parents and friends, Ruth survived the dreaded disease and continues to live her life to the fullest. “At my first follow-up visit after surgery, the doctors confirmed that the lymph bed that they removed was clean and that they had established a clear surgical margin around the tumour. I was overjoyed,” she said. “God had answered my prayer exactly as I had asked Him to. My faith

gave me the strength to focusonthepositive,thiswas my anchor, and through trauma of this magnitude, it is very important to have ananchorinone’slifetohold onto.” Her message to other women who have been diagnosed with cancer is to never give up. “ Stay positive, have a support system and work towards being cancer free.”

ILLCREST police have launched a man hunt for two men who posed as police officers and robbed a lady at the Embo Reserve near Nhlangano School in Hillcrest last week. According to Hillcrest SAPS communication officer, Lieutenant France Mkhize, the suspectswenttothevictim’shouseduringtheearly hoursofthemorningandidentifiedthemselves as police officers and demanded she let them into her home. “The men threatened the victim and said that if she did not let them in, they were going to break down the door,” explained Mkhize. “As the victim opened the door, the men brandished firearms and demanded the victim hand over her lotto ticket, which they snatched and made a quick getaway.” Mkhize said the day before the incident, the victimtoldherneighboursthatshehadwonthe lotto, but police are unaware what the actual amount is. “We believe that the suspects heard this information and used this new tactic to steal the apparent winning ticket,” he said. “We are appealing to all lotto traders to contact the police, if these men try to claim the winnings.” He urged the public not to let anyone into their homes without proper identification. “Police have marked cars, uniforms which include caps and identification cards which they need to produce so that residents can identify them,” he said. “If residents suspect anyone pretending to

be police, they are urged to call the local police and confirm the names of the officers that are on their premises.” To report any criminal offence to the police or to offer information on the police impersonators, contact 031 765 9124.

Canine Ehrlichiosis – the forgotten tickbite fever EHRLICHIOSISisnamedafterDrEhrlich who did a lot of seminal parasitology work in the 1800s and early 20th century. This parasite is a bacteria transmitted by feeding ticks, to dogs. It can occur concurrently with biliary, or Babesiosis, the better-known and more common form of tick fever. However Ehrlichiosis is very, very different. Infection follows three phases: 1. Acute phase – first 1-2 weeks after infection – lethargy, depression, fe-

vers, and inappetance. This is very non-specific and dogs sometimes self-cure,whileothersenterthenext, silent phase: 2. Subclinical phase – can last up to six months. No clinical signs but on blood count, some cell counts change astheparasitehidesinthebonemarrow, slowly dividing and stimulating the immune system while evading its protective response. 3. Chronic phase – when the bone marrow is damaged beyond repair and runs out of stores of stem cells to

make new red, white and clotting blood cells, the patient starts to show the clinical signs of these deficiencies. The most common presentations are: bleeding from the nose or blood spots under the skin; chronic, recurring infections, particularly respiratory; muscle wasting due to kidney failure; and severe weakness due to anaemia (lack of red blood cells). A four-week course of a particular antibiotic can cure almost all acute and most subclinical cases (if you for-

tuitously detect a subclinical case). Chronic cases have a 75% mortality rate, however. Expensive bone marrow stimulant injections and a lot of luck and supportive care MIGHT restart a damaged bone marrow – at a cost of >R15,000 – but it’s best avoided. Speak to your vets NOW about PREVENTING diseases like Ehrlichiosis with a Preventic Collar and Advantix or Certifect, rather than wailing, tearing of clothes and gnashing of teeth when it’s too late.

All systems go for Aqueduct >> Old locomotive used to upgrade pipeline FEVER REPORTER

The Umgeni Steam Rail way Class 19 D loco motive hauls 18 metre long pipes to appropriate points to be used in the Western Aqueduct.

ORK on the Western Aqueduct, Durban’s biggest ever bulk water pipeline project, is gathering momentum – with the help of a grand old steam locomotive dating back to the 1930’s. Over the past weekend – and for a number to come – the Umgeni Steam Railway has loaned Cycad Construction a Class 19 D locomotive to haul 40 massive 18-metre long pipes to appropriate points along the seven kilometre pipeline route which extends from Inchanga Station to Alverstone Neck. The huge pipes, which each weigh nine tonnes and have a 16 000mm diameter, were trucked to Inchanga Station from a pipe yard in Cato Ridge. From there, each pipe was individually loaded on to an innovative special bogie consisting of two carriage chassis that was specially built for the task by Cycad Construction. Project manager, Martin Bright, said eThekwini Water and Sanitation (EWS) had approached Umgeni Steam Railway when it was discovered that moving the pipes up the steep slope to the construction site would not only be dangerous but would also require expensive, specialised equipment. As the stretch of railway line operatedbytheUmgeniSteamRailway runsalongsidethepipecorridor,this was a much safer and viable option.

The original plan was to move the pipes using a diesel locomotive. However, according to treasurer of the Umgeni Steam Railway Marc Bouchier it was soon discovered that this was too small and the process would be too slow. The steam locomotive was substituted and proved to be powerful enough to transport the massive pipes without much effort. Bouchier said that the actual hauling of the pipes had taken place over weekends as those who operated the locomotive were all volunteers and could only tackle the task after hours. The WACJV Consultants said that the Umgeni Steam Railway locomotive may be called in to move pipes to other points along the pipeline route as this mega infrastructure project progressed. The Western Aqueduct bulk water pipeline is essential for providing

Durban with an assured, sustainable supply of water and is expected to add an additional 400Mℓ/day to the supply to the western regions of the city. The first phase of the Western Aqueduct which covered 19km from Umlaas Road to Inchanga Station was commissioned in June 2011. The second phase, which covers 55km, stretches from Inchanga Station to Ntuzuma. Cycad Pipelines was awarded the first contract for the 7km stretch between Inchanga Station and Alverstone Neck in March. Asecondcontractforthesegment of the pipeline that begins at Alverstone Nek and continues to Ashley Drive in Hillcrest was awarded to local company, WK SA Construction. Construction has commenced on this section of the Western Aqueduct steel pipeline. The project is expected to be complete in 2017.

Steady decline in crime KALISHA NAICKER

kalisha@witness.co.za

THE number of violent crimes in Kloof has dropped significantly since last year, this according to statistics presentedbyKloof SectorCommander, captain Bheki Mpungose at the Community Police Forum meeting last week. Captain Mpungose said the 40 per centdecreaseincrimeshowshow the involvement of the community can make a difference. He said that the CPF has been working beyond the call of duty to ensure the community remains safe. “The CPF initiated projects such as the cameras at entry and exit points of streets, the daily street patrols and the greenlightbrigadeareacommon site around the Kloof area,” he said. MpungosecongratulatedtheKloof CPF project coordinator Nikki Mohlmannonajobwelldoneandurgedthe community to continue standing together in fighting crime. “Our efforts, projects and unity has sent a clear message to these thugs - that the Kloof community is united and that we will not stand by

quietly while they take over our suburb,” she explained “The CPF cannot express the importance of the community and SAPS working together.” Mohlmann said the next major project on the Kloof CPF agenda is to raise funds for a new police station in Kloof as the current station is dilapidated. “At present we have three park homes that serve 35 000 residents and it is in a shocking state to say the least. The station has no running water or toilet facilities in the charge office, which forces staff to leave their station when needing to wash their hands or relieve themselves,” she said. The Kloof CPF will be holding a Fundraising Golf Day on 29 November at the Kloof Country Club from 11am to 1pm “We need the community to support us on this day and as our captain mentioned, the police cannot fight crime alone,” said Mohlmann. “This is your chance to get involved. If you do not play golf, please donateaprizeorconsidersponsoring a hole.” For more details, contact Nikki nixm@polka.co.za or 082 308 0072.

However, I have not received any feedback as yet,” he said. “If residents find irregularities with their bills I urge them to call the department and get clarification on the matter.” EThekwini municipality spokesperson Thabo Mofokeng said municipality had only implicated the 5.5 per cent increase this year and there could be a problem with the billing system. “The matter is still under investigations and we will contact those affected or make deductions to the next month’s bill, once we identify the problem,” he said.

Fake guard arrested for rape KALISHA NAICKER QUICK response by Pinetown police led to the arrest of an alleged rapist in the Upper Highway area last week. According to provincial police spokesperson Captain Thulani Zwane, on Thursday 10 October a 25-year-old victim, was at a Pinetownshoppingmallwhenshewas approached by a ‘security guard’ who accused her of shoplifting. “The suspect allegedly told the victim that she was seen stealing from one of the shops,” he explained. “He then ordered the victim to his offices in the area. As they were walking, the victim became suspicious as they approached a bush along the railway line.”

Zwane said that when the victim asked where they were going, the suspect allegedly threatened her the victim with a knife and raped her. “He further threatened not to tell anyone about the incident and they walked back to the city centre,” he said. “As they reached the city centre, the victim screamed for help and the suspect run away. The police were informed and minutes later he was arrested and charged.” Police are appealing to anyone who might have been raped by the so called ‘security guard’ to contact the branch commander of Pinetown Family Violence, Child and Sexual Offences Unit Lt Colonel Thembeka Mbele on 031 325 5002 or 082 462 9870.

ELECTRICITY BILLS shock residents WHILE the eThekwini municipality says it has simply implemented the 5.5 per cent electricity price increase agreed to by the National Energy Regulator of South Africa (Nersa), many Upper Highway residents say their bills have doubled in the past month. The Hillcrest Fever received a number of complaints from residents in Waterfall and Hillcrest claiming that the bills have doubled for September. Whentheyquerieditatthemunicipal offices they were told that if the amount reflected is not paid, they could be disconnected and will be in arrears. Waterfall resident Michelle Smith said her bill ranged from R1 500 to R2 000 even after the 5.5 per cent increase. However, when she received her September bill it was well over R5 000. “When I called the call centre I was told I needed to pay the amount reflected and there was no further information they could give me,” said the irate resident. “R5 000 is a lot of money to fork out atonegoforelectricityandIamthesole bread winner in my family.

WE NEED land reform process theslowandfalteringprocessesbytheLand Claims Commission which needs a total overhaul if it is to make a difference by mak ing land accessible in order to lift people out of poverty and support growth and prosper ity in the agricultural sector. Thisyearmarksthecentenaryofthe1913 Native Land Act, considered one of the “original sins” of apartheid, which prohibit ed black South Africans from purchasing or leasing land outside the reserves dispos sessing many of our people. This is why we need a land reform and restitution process that is not hamstrung by policy uncertainty, lack of political will and the absence of decisive leadership under President Jacob Zuma. The government has only managed to transfer around seven percent of agricultur al land through their reform process. There are indications that the private sector may have transferred up to five times this much and that the money that has gone into the land reform budget should have allowed for a much greater transfer of land.

We need a fresh approach, an approach that makes the agricultural sector a partner in rural transformation and an approach that addresses real land needs. Withthatinmind,landreformmusttake into account the pressures of land need in urban areas by speeding up the expansion of housing opportunities and providing serviced plots close to urban centres; in creasing security of tenure in informal areas by ensuring that every new home owner re ceives a title deed to their property; Intro duce a subsidy programme aimed at the lowincome gap housing market to assist those who do not qualify for RDP housing to gain access to bank loans; and make state land available for urban densification.

Twitter,forthoseofyouwhoarestill stuck in 2010 and feeding your Face book fetish, is also a realtime informa tion network. As astute observers have noted, Facebook connects friends while Twitter involves a global conver sation with strangers. In other words, Twitter is Facebook on tik. Columnists who generally prefer rocking back and forth in dark rooms while feeding off neuroses to socialis ing will tell you that Twitter is the per fect vehicle for remaining informed, anonymous but still creepy and inse cure in a socially acceptable way. Twitter has 554 750 000 registered users.Sowearetoldbynameless,face less researchers only ever referred to as experts. About 135 000 potential Twit terphiles signup on a daily basis and just under 10 000 tweets are posted everysecond,accordingtoTheExperts. Thus Twitter is catnip to those who live within social norms and want to share news, news links, general knowl edge or their profound stupidity. It is, however, industrialstrength catnip to those slightly skittykitties that marinade in their own presumed importance but actually scuttle on the hems of society separated from the rest of us. Celebrities, politicians, CEOs, bankers, motivational speakers and women who can bake come to mind. Motivators are particularly prolific on Twitter. There are the obvious few with millions of followers such as Deepak Chopra and Tony Robbins, but there are also the likes of Sarah/Nosi pho/Anne from Ballito who believe their wisdom can and will be shared on a persecond basis with their 10 follow

While Chopra or Robbins might give those salivating in anticipation of their next tweet little pearls that unself helpgroupies would call common sense if we remained perpetually drunk, Sarah/Nosipho/Anne from Bal lito will tell us about conquering pre menstrual tension brought on by boardroom anxiety. Sarah/Nosipho/Anne’s solution to the anxiety is a Twitter link to her self published manual available at no cost. However, a second link and thus sup plementary solution will guide readers to the unique blend of essential oils for sale that were cooked up in Sarah/ Nosipho/Anne’s kitchen according to a pagan earthmother recipe circa 1547. Once purchased, and if applied cor rectly, the oils will vanquish the PMT keeping so many Strong Women away from their True Potential and Authen tic Self. Postage not included.

S.M.I.L.E provides teacher training and support in primary and high schools, offers an English Oral Conversation Skills programme and, since the start of 2012, it now publishes their own learner books, teacher guides and readers in English First Additional language. The programme was started by St Mary’s DSG in Kloof in 1991 and was built on the foundations of the English Oral Conversation Skills Programme. Once a week, the Grade 10 and 11 St Mary’s girls provide opportunities for Grade fours and fives, whose native tongue is Zulu, to develop confidence in speaking English in a fun, stressfree environment. It also enables the Grade 10 and 11 pupils to develop their leadership skills, and give back to the community. St Mary’s has seen 3 840 grade fours and fives benefit from this on-campus programme, which is now implemented at twelve English speaking schools throughout the country. S.M.I.L.E has had an impact on approximately 300 000 pupils nationwide through its ‘hands on’ Classroom Teacher Training and Support Programme, since its inception 21 years ago.

The organisation believes that improving the skills of one teacher will impact on her 400 pupils that year. Teachers are given real-time training, with their pupils, in their classrooms, on how to teach their pupils to write an essay, use visual aids,andtoreadandeffectivelyworkingroups. SMILE strives to make a difference - one teacher, one pupil and one textbook at a time. One of the latest schools to benefit from this programmeisthegradefivepupilsfromNtakamazolo School in Inchanga. According to Daniela Browne of S.M.I.L.E the grade 11 St Mary’s girls benefit as much from this outreach project as the grade five pupils at Inchanga. ‘’While the Grade 5 IsiZulu speaking children grow in confidence through speaking and writing English, the Grade 11 tutors learn how to nurture and grow the incredible potential which these children have,’’ she explained. Theprogrammehasbeengivenanadditional boost by a donation of R5 000 from Setzkorn Health and Wealth Consulting. The Rotary Club of Kloof will be hosting the 30th Anniversary of the Durban Pops on Saturday 16 November at the Durban City Hall. Setzkorn Health & Wealth is the co-sponsor of this event, while Adapt IT is the main sponsor for the sixth year in a row. S.M.I.L.E is the main beneficiary of this fundraising event in association with the KZN Philharmonic Orchestra and soloists Lauren Laing, Shylo Pereira and Wayne Mkhize.

The Mushroom Farm

PARADISE at your doorstep The Mushroom Farm site is located on the old working Chef Mushroom Farm. The main shed housing the majority of retail units are converted mushroom growing sheds. While the smaller shed was a composting plant in its previous life. Today, however, it is quite hard to imagine that Country Chic's beautifully decorated rooms were once filled to the brim with smelly compost and that the Peel's Honey Shop housed the staff toilets and change rooms.

HE first shop on the site was the Chef Mushroom Farmstall which sold wholesale mushrooms to the public. Over time a nursery was added to the little farmstall

followed by Garden Decor and The Veggie Shop and out of this small group of traders a centre " mushroomed". Today the centre is home to an array of carefully selected shops as well as some service orientated units. There are not many places in the bustling highway area where you can have an award winning cup of coffee whilst having your gas bottle filled or your television fixed but at The Mushroom Farm you can do all of this all the while having a chicken pecking at your feet. Efforts have been made to create an environment which appeals to both local highway residents as well as me-

anders from further afield who are looking for an outing on the weekends. The centre is not only home to a group of enthusiastic traders but it is also home to an ever growing animal farmyard. Valentino the Cameronian Goat rules the farmyard from atop his pile of rocks which have been aptly named Goat Mountain. His subjects include a menagerie of ducks, chickens, guinea fowl and rabbits! There have been a number of great escapes by the rabbits and as a result, you will often come across a rabbit or two while you walk among the rose nursery. In line with the farm life, horse boxes and riders are also a common sight, as equestrians pop in and out of the centre to pick up feed or tack or sometimes both!

There are also some exciting new shops that will be opening over the next few weeks - so please do pop in to see the new developments at The MushroomFarm, 450 Kassier Road. In order to celebrate the new developments at The Mushroom Farm, there will be a combined Roof Wetting and Christmas Market at The Mushroom Farm on Thursday, 28 November. This family friendly event will run from 2pm until 7pm so that Mums and Grandparents can pop in during the afternoon with the kids and Dads can join in after work. All are welcome - there will be live music, market stalls as well as an art exhibition. All of the various shops in the centre will be open - many of which will be running promotional events for market. It promises to be a festive occasion.

A NUMBER of The International Hotel School’s Christina Martin Culinary Arts first year students recently planted a mini herb garden and veggie patch as part of the “Sustainable Food Systems for Food Security and Nutrition” theme for World Food Day on Wednesday 16 October. World Food Day provides an occasion to high light the dilemma of so many millions of under nourished people in the world and IHS believes that education on sustainable living is extremely important and certainly encourages the planting

Providing a home of love >> Organisation gives hope to aids orphans KALISHA NAICKER

HEN Botha’s Hill resident Dawn Leppan witnessed the struggle of families from the Valley of 1000 Hills caused by political unrest in the late 1980s, she knew she had to step up and help. Leppan, with the aid of a friend Alan Paton, started a community feeding programme. The project was first held in the open under the trees in the Inchanga area, then moved from there into St Theresa’s Catholic Church. Commonly known as the 1000 Hills Community Helpers, Leppan andPatoncontinuestoassistthecommunity in any way they can.

In response to the needs of residents, the helpers constructed a community care centre in 2008 comprising a health and wellness clinic, children’s infirmary, education and development facility. This centre was named by the community as “Ikhaya Lo Thando” (Home of Love) that caters for the needs of orphaned and vulnerable children, supporting them with food and clothing. In 1990 the duo realised that community members were in need of medical assistance due to the impact of HIV/Aids related illnesses. They then decided to start up a basic clinic followed by an infant nutritional programme.

“Wesourcedmedicalvolunteersto assist in carrying this burden. We were blessed with having a pediatrician join us as well as five registered nursing sisters,” said Leppan. “From that first project, this vision has grown from strength to strength to provide essential services to the people in the form of health care, education, infant care and HIV/AIDS awareness.” Leppan said that the mission of the centre is dedicated and compassionate service to the people of Inchanga, Fredville and surrounding areas. “We indeed bring hope into the lives of these people,” she added. For more information or to assist, contact Leppan on 084 625 2771.

Evening of Excellence

Keeping cool in summer

KLOOFHighSchoolheldtheannual Evening of Excellence on Thursday 10 October at which those pupils who had achieved in the cocurricular field were honoured. The highlight of the evening was seeing how the present matrics have grown during their years at Kloof High. Theaudiencewastreatedtobefore and after photos of a few of them when we were shown their photos from Grade 8 and their photos of today.

THE boys at Kloof High School have a new look especially for the hot summer weather approaching. They will no longer have to don a collar and tie in the sweltering heat but now have an open-necked shirt which is to be worn loosely over the trousers. According to spokesperson for the school Barbara Forbes, “The boys look very smart in their new look and hopefully will be cool, calm and collected in future.”

THAN Cooke, a member of the Grade 5 LEAP class at Hillcrest Primary School (Learner Extension and Acceleration Programme) realised that the approaching winter months meant that many underprivileged and impoverished people in the nearby community of the Valley of a 1000 Hills would be facing the cold without warm clothes and blankets. He, together with his classmates initiated a blanket and

winter woolies drive at Hillcrest Primary School and extended it into the wider Hillcrest community. Two bakkie loads of donations were recentlydeliveredtotheValleyof a 1000 Hills Community Helpers Centre by the Grade 5 LEAP pupils. There was an immense sense of sharing and love felt by all on the day, as they were warmly welcomed by Dawn Leppan,thecommunitymembers and the happy children who attend the school and

crèche on the property. The pupils also helped to pack food parcels and warm clothes in conjunction with the St Vincent De Paul's Society that is run from St Dominic's Catholic church in central Hillcrest. Pupils also assisted a lively group of volunteers to package mielie meal, rice, beans, sugar, tea and salt into food packages that are then delivered and distributed to the indigentandelderlyfolklivingin Embo and the Valley of 1000 Hills.

Nissan Juke makes diesel exciting >> “The Nissan JUKE is definitely making waves as an aspirational and emotive product.”

HE Nissan JUKE range has been ex panded yet again in South Africa with the introduction of the new Nis san JUKE 1.5 dCi Acenta+. ThenewestmemberoftheJUKEfamily has arrived hot on the trail of the recently introduced JUKE CVT automatic and All WheelDrive(AWD)models,expandingthe lineup to seven striking derivatives. The new JUKE diesel, like its siblings, is rewriting automotive convention by flip ping the coin on diesel power. Now, diesel is cool, as proved in Europe where diesel makes up 40% of JUKE sales since launch. With its audacious looks, crossover de signandenhancedeconomy,thenewJUKE diesel is an allencompassing ‘wearyour heartonyoursleeve’ expression of indi viduality and personality not just another ‘AtoB’ driving machine. Nancy Reddy, product manager for JUKE at Nissan South Africa said, “The re cent expansion of the JUKE range means that South Africans who dare to be differ ent have even more to choose from. The addition of the new diesel adds a whole new dimension to the JUKE range, where absolute frugality meets unbridled drive abilityinacompletelyuniquepackage.The new JUKE diesel is exciting in every respect

– whether that means achieving unbeliev able fuel economy or enjoying the enor mous amount of torque in a sporty drive. “As a finalist in the ‘2013 WesBank/ SAGMJ Car of the Year’ competition, a nominee for the ‘2013 Women on Wheels Car of the Year’ as well as being crowned the ‘2013 Best Buy’ in the Light SUV/Cross oversegmentbyCARMagazine,theNissan JUKEisdefinitelymakingwavesasanaspi rational and emotive product. It’s a car for those who defy convention and this 6th generation new dieselengined derivative is only going to up the pace!” Sexy, suave, expressive and sporty on onehand,yetrefined,relaxing,economical and efficient on the other – the new Nissan JUKE diesel is a car with two personalities. A car to start a party, to set a trend and lead the pack. Don’t follow, be followed. Theunconventionaldesign–whichhas been adored by over 8 500 new South Afri can owners since the JUKE was launched locally in October 2011 – is still able to turn headsinthetrafficandcreateastirinpark ing lots. A car that gets you noticed, that’s for sure. Compact proportions, edgy and daring design cues make the JUKE unmis takable and completely different to the norm.

consumption figure of just 4.2litres per 100 km, with carbon emissions of just 109 g/km. Other improvements can be attributed to the adoption of revised piezoelectric fuel injection nozzles – which reduce un burnt fuel after the combustion process by as much as 15% thanks to a more precise spray pattern – and a lowinertia, variable geometry turbocharger which makes use ofamoredirectandefficientairintakeflow path. The adoption of a new closedloop, lowpressure exhaust gas recycling system (EGR) is also a major contributor to the im proved emissions and economy, at the same time spearheading the 1.5 dCi engine with forthcoming Euro 6 regulations. Formula 1inspired engine technology can also be found in the engine of the new JUKE diesel, where DLC (diamondlike car bon) coatings for the tappets form part of lowfriction enhancements to improve op erating efficiency – development that Nis san’s highlyefficient petrol engines are seeing as well. The JUKE diesel’s three drive modes – Normal, Eco and Sport – allow the driver to adjust the JUKE’s personality via the In teractive Driver Control system to suit his or her mood.

The Nissan Juke As much as the exterior excites, an equally funky interior – where swooping surfaces and quality finishes impart a sense of excitement and smart thinking – makestheJUKEfun,evenwhenstationary. The new JUKE diesel plays on all the es tablished JUKE quirks and elevates them to a new level – a level where spirited per formance and incredible driveability are met by utterly exceptional fuel efficiency. Drive it like your hair is on fire or cruise

around as relaxed as a lizard in the sun – the choice is yours. Linked to the front wheels via a six speed manual gearbox, the 1.5litre com mon rail turbocharged diesel engine in the new JUKE diesel produces 81 kW at 4 000 rpm and a great whack of torque to boot – 260 Nm from just 1 500 rpm. The result is a mix of great driving performance and brilliant fuel economy – the new JUKE 1.5 dCi returns a combined cycle average fuel

KALISHA NAICKER

UNDREDS of spectators lined the banks at The Jes Foord Sailing Classic 3, at Inanda Dam last month. The excitement started at 6am with good weather and a good sailing day. The first race started at 10am in a light north east breeze and was sailed with a very competitive fleet that consisted of the current Hobie 14 provincial champion, Murray May and past Jes Foord trophy holder, Norman Parker, as well as many eager sailors all looking at taking away the spoils. The race judge, Richard Holmes, kept his beady eyes on all the entrants on the course making sure everyone complied with the rules and the race finished in a rising wind. The wind speed picked up to +- 14 knots for the second race, testing all and sundry. Murray May on his Hobie 14 demonstrated

Tim Foord, Jes Foord and Murray May winner of the Jes Foord Classic Regatta 2013. the reason he is the champion of the province, however he had his work cut out with the current Hobie 16 champion, Peter Hall, sailing a very fast Hobie 14, close on his transom. After two races, the pattern was set for a tight finish. The traditional “lunch time braai” was a great success with many a story, racing tips and advice being exchanged amongst all the sailors. After lunch the race committee did a fine job of getting all on the course for what promised to be an exciting finish to the day racing The prize giving and ‘lucky draws’ were the highlight of the day. Prizes included a gazebo, coffee machine and a host of others First prize went to Murray May - Hobie 14 (Medal and the Jes Foord floating trophy), second was Justin van Niebel - Dart (Medal) and third was Peter Hall, Hobie 14 – (Medal).
