W ater Water m eter meter w oes woes The audited report Msunduzi Municipality failed to reach the 100% target of meter readings by 31 January going against the ruling made by the Auditor-General that all meters should be read by the said date. In the recent AG report, based on the financial year ending 30 June 2013, it surfaced that 30% of the municipality’s meter readings were estimated over periods exceeding a year. Itfurthershowedthatmanagement was unable to prove that the estimates were based on reliable historical records. The estimated readings have been a problem for some ratepayers who have repeatedly reported the inaccuracy of their meter readings.

The delay is the lack of actual meters that we need to replacethefaultymeters.Weshouldbe 100% on both water and electricity by the end of February,” said municipal manager Mxolisi Nkosi at one Executive committee (Exco) meeting in February. The final progress report will be submitted to the Auditor-General for review. There have been a number of challenges in the meter-reading department. Some of the challenges include the lack of transport for meter readers,

inclement weather, which affected schedules of readings, meters buried underground, meters that cannot be located by meter readers, meters covered with mud or soil, removed and damaged meters, meter readers unable to access properties and the shortage of staff in the meter-reading department. A special task team has been appointed to deal with all these challenges. Chief financial officer Nelisiwe Ngcobo said vehicles have been hired to assist the meter readers. “We have made provisions to supply them with raincoats because there is a target that we are trying to reach and we are losing time,” said Ngcobo.

The way forward The manager at the office of the municipal manager Madeleine JacksonPlaatjies, said that the municipality aimstoachieveactualmeterreadings free from estimation. “Our target is to reach at least 90% come the end of June 2014. We could commit ourselves to 100%, but there are circumstances where the reading is either not provided by the consumer or when the property is unaccessible to the readers and results in the meter being estimated.” She said that the water and sanitation department currently have over 20 plumbing teams who replace faulty meters. “About 2 700 domestic meterswerechangedinthepastthree months. A further 2 000 domestic meters will be replaced by the end of April. It should further be noted that 150 bulk water meters have been retrofittedwithmoreaccurateandeasily readable meters,” she said. The municipality has stopped installing cast-iron water meters which easily get buried during rainy seasons. New meters, which stand about half a metre above ground are being installed. “The municipality’s doors are always open. Where assistance is not received immediate supervisors are always there to assist, failing which the matter can be reported to the chief accountant who will then refer the matter to managers if they fail to resolve the query,” said JacksonPlaatjies.

Angelo WilkiePage gets ready for his Expedition 720 Degrees endurance adventure. PHOTO:SUPPLIED

NGELO Wilkie-Page (29) will be attempting to get into the Guinness Book of World Records with his Expedition 720 Degrees endurance adventure. Wilkie-Page, a Carter High School matriculant, will soon begin the first leg of his expedition which, when completed, will see him as the first man to have circumnavigated the world from east to west and pole to pole, solely on human power. Speaking to the Maritzburg Fever, Wilkie-Page said that his primary goal in completing this expedition is to break records to test the human capacity for long-term endurance. “There are only two people who havecircumnavigatedtheworldfrom east to west using only human power. No one has done it from pole to pole on human power. I want to be the first person to do both.” The endurance expedition is about 115 500km and is expected to take him roughly five years to complete. He will cross seven continents, 48 countries, four oceans and various deserts and mountains. Although the task may look daunting, it is broken up into various legs and allows time for WilkiePage to regroup and get more sponsors for the next leg of the journey. His first leg begins in Los Angeles and is a 5 650km cycle to Anchorage which he will begin on 15 June. Wilkie-Page was not always an endurance adventurer. He studied project management in Durban and worked as a commodities trader. After a few years of doing this, he realised that corporate life was not for him and decided to pursue his passion of exploring the

world. Hehascompetedinvariousendurance races, including cycling from Spain to Italy, 400kms MTB around Victoria Falls, Iron Man South Africa and two Comrades Marathons. “This expedition is a coming together of all the things I love - endurance, travelling and adventure. It will give me a chance not only to see the world, but to explore it in a different way,” said Wilkie-Page. His training began in November lastyearwhenhewasinthefirststage of high altitude, extreme environmenttrainingintheHimalayas,going up to altitudes of 4 300 metres. He also did some high altitude training, at 2 900 metres, for a week in Lesotho in January. Wilkie-Page is working with the charity Heifer International, which focuses on alleviating poverty and

hunger throughout the world. “We chose Heifer as our cause because of their local and international reach. “The work they do in South Africa, and in the international arena, is outstanding. They essentially have affected 18.5 million lives globally.” Expedition 720 will be based solely on human power, which means that WilkiePage will either be rowing, swimming, running, cycling or paddlingacrossthe world.

begins in the St Charles Pre-Primary School

CARTER High School has embraced technology by launching one of the latest forms of teaching technology in the school. In 80% of their classrooms, they have installed a 42” TV screen, a smart board, computer and television rolled into one. These devices are networked through the entire school, which allows teachers to create their presentations in the com fort of the staff computer room, and access it in their class rooms. These innovative devices have been embraced with great enthusiasm among the staff and pupils. Pupils are being encouraged to use the equipment for re search and to create PowerPoint presentations for projects. The remainder of the classrooms will be fitted with the equipment by the end of this year. All of this would not have been possible without the generosity of United Business Solutions.

Showcasing their school

At the opening of the media centre at St Nicholas are (from left) Pixie van Heerden (chair man of the board), Luke Perkins (headmaster) and David Alexander, the first registered pupil at St Nicholas in 1990.

FTER weeks of planning and a general buzz around the school, 1 March could not have come soon enough at St Nicholas School. Bothpupilsandstaffwereincrediblyexcited about this special day, where they got to showcase to the public so much of what happens in the school. The school walls were coated with art that had taken hours to complete. The debating team proved once again why they are some of the top debaters to look out for as they went head to head, tackling some controversial topics. Parents who attended the debating sessions were highly impressed. St Nicholas has a rich cultural history and

pupils have expressed this through song and dance and so it came as no surprise that the choirhadtheaudiencetappingtheirfeetduring their performance. The basketball teams played exceptionally well during the day, and showed their sportsmanship. The Grade 8 marketdaywasalsoafavourite-itwasremarkable to see how pupils were applying what they were learning through their diverse businesses. Last but not least, the launch of the media centre was also a reason to celebrate. The school invited David Alexander, the first St Nicholight to be registered at the school. He made history once again as he cut the ribbon for the opening of the centre.

Health and hygiene The Grade R boys at Cordwalles Preparatory School enjoyed a week of health and hygiene. They were taught the impor tance of their daily wash ing routine and how to prevent germs from spreading. This involved washing, brushing and putting gel in hair, brush ing teeth, eating healthily and showering in the big boys boarding house. Sister Marianne Odell was invited to come in and chat to the boys about how to wash their hands thoroughly and the impor tance of doing so. At the end of a very exciting, hi larious and fun week, each boy took home a homemade toiletry bag with all the necessary equipment.

dows and mirrors and an Infinity sound system with a builtin subwoofer, external amplifier and builtin hard drive, USB connector and charger sockets. Other models also have a new screen to replace the dotmatrix one of the previous model. The key fob handles door release and ignition – just press the start/stop button left of the steeringwheel – and the auto shift lever handles full auto or manual sequential shifts. Kia is cool with colour – while the plastics are mostlythehardvarietythecontrolsanddisplaysvary through red, green, blue, white and yellow; cheerful and welcoming on a misty Cape morning. Three things missing: satnav, vertical adjustment for the steeringwheel and steering column paddle shifts. But a plus for a robust grabhandle for the pas senger sprouting from the transmission tunnel. You’ll be hardpressed to immediately notice the changes to the exterior but for sure the result is still a handsome SUV. The grille has been reshaped, as have the front fog lights and lower bumper. There are new 17 or 18” alloy rims and the rear lightclusters

IA’S thirdgeneration Sportage was launched to the local motoring media back in August 2010 andsincethen,haswonanumberofautomotive awards and the real proof of the pudding sold more than 9000 units in South Africa. Now, just launched in South Africa, there’s a face lifted and tweaked version of the Gen3 nine twolitre models in all, four with allwheel drive and four of them diesel. Prices range from R310 000 to R409 000 Back in 2010, there were 10 models available, also starting with the Ignite model, all but one a twolitre petrol or diesel; the oddball was a 2.4 petrol, since dis continued in South Africa. The car was one of design guru Peter Schreyer’s startlingly different products that put Kia on the map as vehicles deserving of a sec ond glance. Now Kia SA has upgraded the already well equipped model with what it describes as “small but significant upgrades to its modern exterior as well as arefreshedinteriordesignandnewmaterialsthrough out the cabin”. It will be available with a choice of two en gines, a 2.0 DCVVT petrol and a more pow erful 2.0 VGT CRDi die sel. The petrol engine claims to be more re fined and is now hooked to a sixspeed manual or auto trans mission resulting in, Kia says, lower fuelcon sumption. Steering assistance on the diesels has been changedfromhydraulic to enginedriven and a number of changes have been made to minimise noise, vibra tion and harshness.

It m akes 116kW at 6200rpm and 192Nm at 4000rpm. The former fivespeed manual gearbox has been re placed by a smoother and more refined sixspeed – another step to lower fuel consumption.

All models are delivered with a fiveyear or 100 00 km warranty, a fiveyear or 100 000km service plan and three years of roadside assistance. Wheels24.

healthier your hair will start to look. Quicktipstomakeeverydayagoodhairday: • Look for powerful moisturizing and conditioning ingredients when you choose your shampoo and conditioner. • Go sulfate free. Sulfates are harsh, drying and can strip the colour from your hair. • Just when you think you are done rinsing your hair, keep rinsing and count to ten. • Your hair is weakest when it is wet, so be gentle when combing wet hair and avoid putting it into a ponytail or braid until it is thoroughly dry. This will help prevent damage. • Consider investing in a good hairdryer with ionic technology. It may help your hair dry faster and with less damage. Remember, the louder your hairdryer is, the lower the quality may be. • Ease up on the products to avoid build-up which could cause lifeless, unmanageable, oily hair.

POPULAR laser hair removal treatments: ipL, ipL/RF combination and Diode laser. Why laser? Throughout the ages, humankind has attempted to rid the body of hair. Until recently this was a futile process, but now we have technology on our side. No other method of hair removal is as uniquely effective as laser hair removal. What is laser? Laser is an acronym that stands for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. Without lasers, people would have to rely on such archaic hair removal methods as using a razor or condemning each hair to death by tiny guillotine. Get rid of unwanted hair with modern technology. How does it work? There are three stages in the life cycle of a hair. They are anagen or growing; catagen or falling out and telogen or resting. At any given time, about 85% of the hair is in the anagen phase. During this phase, the laser can reach the follicle, heat it up and destroy the hair. Grey, blond and red hair require more sessions and the Diode Laser is most suitable. How does it feel? Some people describe laser hair removal as feeling like a rubberband snapping against the skin, while others don’t feel a thing. What areas can be treated? Any area of the body except around the eyes can be treated. Treatments are fast, with most lasting from one minute to one hour, depending on the area being treated. How many treatments are needed?

Generally between five and seven treatments spaced four weeks apart. The follicles that absorb the laser will likely never grow back. Five to seven treatments are needed because the laser affects only hair in the anagen phase. Time is needed for hair in the catagen and telogen phases to move back to the anagen phase To get the best results, the hair follicle has to be present so the laser can destroy it. Prior to treatment you should avoid using hair removal creams, bleaches and hair wax. You should also avoid tweezing your hair, and avoid activities that darken your skin such as tanning, spray tanning and self tanning creams. Who should have the treatment? The laser treatments, which are US FDA approved, are suitable for Black, Indian, coloured and white skin tones. If you love smooth, hair-free skin, this treatment is definitely for you. High radiation and the necessary high voltage for the pulse can be very dangerous.Itisyourbestinteresttoinsistthat you ask to see the therapists certificate looking for credentials specifically for the Department of Health Radiation Control logos. Are there any cases that are not suitable for treatment? Yestherearemanycontraindicationssuch as acne medication which causes thinning of theskinetc.Foradetailedlistofcontraindications, go to http://www.mohinimadam.co. za/faqs/ — Reshmi Takoorparsadh, qualified advanced cosmetic laser therapist at Mohini Madam MediSpa, Hayfields.

TECH TALK

DID you know that every week or so, Microsoft releases updates to your Windows operating system that improve security, performance and reliability? The big question among South African users is whether it is safe to turn these updates off. The reason obviously being is that bandwidth usage in SA is expensive. When you purchase a copy of Windows (whether preinstalled with a new machine, or a separate package to install yourself), Microsoft agrees to give you the latest patches and updates for your own protection. Majority of the computer market is running on Windows based systems. This is why most malicious hackers target Windows computers. Microsoft is aware of this and patch up any security flaws that come to light by releasing patches to solve this and protect you. There is also the question of system stability. A lot of the Windows updates are meant to increase system stability, however there have been a few reports of computers becoming unstable after an update. This is actually not due to a bad update, but rather bad software that was already present on the machine – however Microsoft also foresaw this possibility and created a way to roll back updates in case it has caused some hassles. If this has happened to a machine of yours, take it to your nearest computer store to rollback the update and fix the original problem so that it does not occur again.
