Hair raising theft Indian women walking around the CBD “live in fear” that their hair will be chopped off by thieves

Bunny satisfaction for soapie star

MERVYN KRISHNA

W

OMEN in KwaDukuza are afraid to step into the CBD after reports of thieves hacking off long hair.

Indian hair is highly sought after, and Remy, or virgin hair as it is known, is regarded as the best quality hair for extensions and wigs.

Dubbed the ‘piranha gangs’ by locals, it is believed that the thieves, much like their chain snatching counterparts, roam the streets with scissors, looking for hair to snip.

According to a local SAPS source known to the Weekly, they then apparently sell the hair to beauty salons which fashion hair extensions, wigs and weaves. The salons these for as much as R5 000 each.

The thieves are all male, according to nine victims who have had their hair cut off in the KwaDukuza CBD. One of the victims, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said thieves will usually approach their victims on foot. “Some will even pull knives or guns on victims before chopping

Actor Lovie Ramas Rai, better knows as "Abhi Singh" in Isidingo, stopped by to “grab a bunny chow” at Mall Cafe in KwaDukuza re­ cently. Rai said he heard about their “top class” bunny and de­ cided to visit as he was in the area. He is seen enjoying his meal with Mall Cafe's Rafiq Adam.

She said another victim was assaulted before her hair was cut off.

“The thieves are then able to sell the hair to beauty salons that turn around and sell the stolen bounty to unsuspecting customers looking for hair extensions.

long, straight hair and usually tell them to pull it into a ponytail.”

The latest incident occurred on Thursday in Hulett Street near Asmals when two men approached Stanger Manor resident Yvonne Naidoo.

“I thought they were going to take my phone because I was holding it

at the time.

“They then took a pair of scissors and cut off my hair. It happened so fast that I froze.

“The thugs then ran towards the taxi rank,” she said.

“Young Indian women especially are terrified of such attacks, which follow hot on the heels of the ripping

off of gold jewellery from around the necks and sometimes ears of women on the streets.”

“This new crime adds to the lawlessness that is apparent on the streets of KwaDukuza,” she said.

DESALINATION >> Potential to filter sea water into fresh drinking water

Women walking around the KwaDukuza CBD are weary as a new crime trend grips the town.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Naidoo said that after her ordeal, she had numerous calls from other victims.

However Naidoo said she did not report the incident because it would just be a “waste of time”.

“Everyone is aware that women are being targeted; chain snatching continues on a daily basis.

“The police are aware of the chain snatching, but not a single significant arrest has been made.”

Business people are also concerned, saying should the current wave of crime continue to escalate, shoppers would rather stay away from the CBD and take their business to safer malls outside the town.

A prominent businessman, who chose to remain anonymous, said the KwaDukuza SAPS has failed them.

“It is glaring that the KwaDukuza SAPS do not know how to conduct true policing and keep the citizens safe in the town.

According to expert reports, the use of hair extensions has risen by almost 50% in South Africa, withthe cost increasing in relation to how natural the buyer wants extensions or weaves to look.

Some hair extensions can run well over R10 000.

A salon owner who spoke to the Weekly said that as many as three people a week come in offering hair for sale. The woman said she would not buy it because she does not know where it comes from.

KDM mayor Ricardo Mthembu has “declared war” on the criminals who cut women's hair.

A full investigation has been ordered and Mthembu has called the attacks a “psychological war.”

“What kind of way is that to mistreat young women? Young women are sacred,” he said.

MGENI Water is investigating the feasibility of two 150 megalitre-perday (Ml/d) seawater desalination plants on the North and South Coasts of KwaZulu-Natal.

If found feasible, these schemes would be constructed so that the northern scheme would provide up to 75Ml/d of potable water to iLembe District Municipality and 75Ml/d to eThekwini’s northern areas such as Tongaat and Verulam.

The southern scheme would provide approximately 75Ml/d to eThekwini’ssouthernareasanda further 75Ml/d south to Ugu District Municipality.

If either of the schemes are developed they would be the largest seawater desalination plants in the country.

The largest scheme in South Africa at present is 15 Ml/d and the largest in southern Africa is a 45Ml/d plant at Swakopmund in Namibia.

There are, however, many large scale desalination plants around the world including Spain, UAE, and Australia with plants up to and exceeding 450Ml/d.

The technology that would be used as part of the desalination process is Sea Water Reverse Osmosis.

Umgeni stakeholder manager Shami Hurichunder said a 150 Ml/d desalination plant will include large infrastructure to ab-

However, this has its own high capital cost. Desalination is just one of a number of options being investigated by Umgeni Water.

“Umgeni Water is now undertaking a detailed feasibility study

stract water from the sea and to return brine to the ocean.

“The technological components of a desalination plant are expensive. Very high pressure pumps are required to pressurise the seawater to the level at which salt can be removed from the water.

“With the high corrosivity of the water, super duplex stainless steels are also required for many of the components of the plant.”

He said the membranes which are used in the desalination process are also very expensive.

“Consequently our preliminary cost estimates vary between R2.7 and R2.9 billion for a 150 megalitre per day plant depending on site location.”

The operational cost of desalinating seawater is high compared to conventional water treatment.

Hurichunder said South Africa is, in general, a water scarce country.

“Large dams are required to store the water necessary to provide cities with an assurance of supply during drought periods. ” He said with the current growth in water demand, even this scheme will soon, not provide the required assurance of supply to Durban, Pietermaritzburg and surrounding areas.

Boy badly beaten outside school gate

NOTHANDO NDLOVU THE mother of a 16­ year­old school boy who was badly beaten and thrown into a river while uncon­ scious, said her son cannot continue with his Grade 11 final examinations because of the attack.

Yashveer Tewari of Stanger Secondary School was walking home from school last Wednesday when five men allegedly beat him up recently. His mother Mary said she only hopes that his eyes are not permanently damaged.

“A friend called me to the scene. When I arrived a passerby had taken him out of the river. The gang did not take anything but they beat him up badly.”

NOTHANDO NDLOVU FARM workers from a Glendale farm staged a ‘tools down’ on Friday, after their employer allegedly refused to pay them a minimum wage of R105 per day as stated by labour Minister Mildred Oliphant earlier this year.

The National Sugar and Refining Allied Industries Employees Union (NASARU) organiser Roland Nsibande said the union tried several times to hold discussions with the employer from Penrith Farm.

“We have debated this for some time with the employer but were told that he is not prepared to pay R105.”

“The labour minister needs to be made aware that the Employment Conditions Commission’s recommendation of a new sectoral minimum wage for farm workers is not implemented at this farm.

“We have met with the CCMA and have followed the necessary procedures to hold a protected strike. We need to make sure that

the employees are paid the salary they deserve as it is nearing the end of the year. They need to enjoy these benefits before the season ends which will be by the end of this month but no later than 15 December.

“The government sets laws but there are people who are not obeying them.”

NASARU shop steward Thandilakhe Dlamini said the farm workers are currently earning between R93 and R69 a day.

“We do not know when the strike will end because the employer told us that he pays the money according to the tasks allocated to each person.”

Dlamini said it was the first time they had gone on strike.

“We ask government to intervene in this matter.”

When contacted for comment, Penrith Farm manager Mark Bower said he was not willing to talk at this stage.

“I do not want to have a debate with the media,” he said.

ART Pupils taught creative skills NOTHANDO NDLOVU

ARNALL Secondary pupil Karushnee Naicker is the proud winner of the first Dolphin Coast Landfill Management (DCLM) and Uku­ phakamisa (non­profit organisation) inter­school drawing competition, held at KwaDukuza Town hall on Tuesday.

Eight schools from KwaDukuza participated in the event that will now become annual. They were each required to draw a tree and then present to the judges about the uses of the tree.

Naicker received a R5 000 prize to further her ed­ ucation and another R5 000 for her school. Sfiso Xu­ lu, who came second, walked away with R3 000 for his education and another R3 000 for his school while in third place Wandile Mpanza won R2 000 for education and another R2 000 for his school.

In his address, Dr Thula Mbatha from the Depart­ ment of Education said he was happy that pupils re­ ceived an opportunity to showcase their drawing skills.

“It is good that the pupils’ skills in art are being nurtured.Theywilldefinitelybenefitfromthis.When we develop pupils there must be an outcome. They were taught creative skills as they each presented in a unique way. Some will end up becoming artists.”

Speaking on behalf of the KwaDukuza mayor Ri­ cardo Mthrmbu, councillor Sandeep Oudhram said he hopes there will be more events like this.

“We are serious about the environment in KwaDukuza. Thank you for taking the initiative to partner with us and giving us an opportunity. We are proud of what you are doing.”

Zinhle Mbili from the Department of Environ­ mental Affairs said the judges were looking for good presentation skills, originality and relevance.

She also asked that teachers help their pupils stick to the theme. Olivier Meyer of DCLM said the winner’s tree will be painted on the DCLM entrance wall.

“It will forever stay in our hearts. I am amazed by the quality of the drawing and involvement from the pupils. This event will now be an annual one.”

home improvement tips Practical decor advice that won’t break the bank

ITHhomeowners feelingtheeco­ nomic pinch, many are tackling improvement projects instead of moving. The kitchen and bathroom are the most popular rooms for renovations and are also the first rooms scrutinised by po­ tential buyers.

Bathrooms: • Neutral colours remain a firm favou­ rite. The majority of bathrooms are cur­ rently decorated with tiles and accessories in natural stone shades that create a calm­ ing atmosphere. A subdued colour palette is right on trend and with colours such as murky greys and muddy greens ­ it sits comfortably with stone colours in the bathroom.

• Black is making a bold design state­ ment in the bathroom, from scattered mo­ saics to all­black feature walls.

“For those who can’t quite see them­ selves entirely surrounded by black, the

sensibleuseofsilver,softpewter,mattand gloss white are all ways of introducing a lighter touch,” said Kate van Niekerk, from Tile Africa.

• Pantone named Tangerine Tango, an energetic reddish orange, as the colour of the year for 2012. If you are looking for something bold and exclusive, a zesty or­ angemosaicfeaturewallmightbetheper­ fect fit for your bathroom. Vivid mosaic tiles create a dramatic effect if used as a solid block of colour behind the bath and vanity or in the shower.

“If you’re not brave or flamboyant enough for an orange feature wall, try add­ ing mosaics as an edging or border to deliv­ er a quick colour punch,” she says.

• Wet rooms are gaining popularity and transforming the bathroom from a practi­ cal room into a spacious area for the ulti­ mate shower experience. With wet rooms, the shower is no longer contained in a cubi­

cle with a shower tray, but spans the whole room and water drains away through one drainage hole.

“Use mosaics as a feature, perhaps on one wall.

“If you have a limited budget, cut glass mosaic sheets into narrow strips and add a narrow row as a horizontal border above the existing wall tiles,” added van Niekerk.

How to paint like a pro _Doing it yourself? Brush up on these basics first

feather out the paint along the edges that you can't keep wet. The thinner, feathered coat of paint will avoid the buildup that causes the lap mark.

This method also removes all the paint from the roller, making it much easier to clean. To paint a large section without leaving lap marks, roll the nearly dry roller in different directions along the dry edge, feathering out the paint as you go.

After completing the entire length of the wall or ceiling, move to the next section and paint over the feathered edges. For the second coat, apply the paint in the opposite direction. This crisscrossing paint application sharply reduces (if not eliminates) lap marks.

5. Use a drop cloth It's a lot easier to prepare for spills and spatters than to wipe them out of your carpeting or off your wood floor later.

All it takes is canvas drop cloths in your work area. The canvas stays in place, so you don't need to tape it, and you can use it to cover any surface.

Plastic drop cloths are slippery to walk on or set a ladder on and don't stay in place. Even worse, paint spills on plastic stay wet, and they can end up on your shoes and get tracked through the house. But even with canvas large spills still need to get wiped up right away or they'll seep through.

Clean spills with paper towels or cloth rags.

6. Preparation is the key to success Onecoatofpaintusuallywon'thidethe underlying colour and sheen on trim.

And if you don't sand the surface

remove dust.

7. Mix several cans of paint in a large bucket for a consistent colour throughout the room Paint colour may vary slightly from one can to the next. If you have to open a new can in the middle of a wall, the dif­ ference may be noticeable.

Mixing the paints together elimi­ natestheproblem.It'sbesttoestimate the amount of paint you'll need and mix it in a large bucket. When coverage is difficult to estimate, add more rather than less.

8.Cleandirtysurfacessopaintcan form a strong bond Before painting, clean grimy areas with sugar soap or cleaner intended for pre­ paint cleaning.

They work well to clean painted, varnished or enamelled surfaces to im­ prove the adhesion of the new paint.

They're ideal for cleaning greasy or oily areas like kitchen and bathroom walls.

Wipe on the cleaner in a circular motion using a lint­free cloth or abrasive pad.

Start at the bottom and work up. After the surface is clean, fill in any nicks and holes, then sand them smooth before painting. The cleaners are available at paint and hardware stores.

smooth between coats, the finish may have a grainy texture. For a smooth fin­ ish, sand the trim before applying each coat of paint.

Sand the trim with a fine­grit sand­ ing sponge. Sponges get into crevices where sandpaper can't go and apply even pressure. Then apply the first coat of paint, let it dry at least 24 hours, lightly sand it again for a completely smooth surface, and apply the second coat. After each sanding, vacuum the trim, then wipe it down with a cloth to

1. Roll paint along the edges for consistent texture Corners and areas next to trim that are paintedonlywithabrushhaveanotice­ ably different texture than the sur­ rounding paint. To ensure the finished texture will be consistent, brush on the paint, then immediately roll it out be­ fore the paint dries.

Useasmallerrollerwithanapthat's the same thickness that was used for the rest of the wall. Roll as close as you canwithoutbumpingtheoppositewall or slopping paint onto the trim. Finish brushing on the paint and rolling it out in one area before moving on to the next section.

2. Prime and texture wall patches to avoid a blotchy finish Freshly painted walls often look blotchy. The colour is uniform, but the sheen isn't consistent. This usually oc­ curs over the holes and cracks you patched with a crack filler. The porous fillers absorb the paint, dulling the sur­ face (a problem called "flashing").

When light hits these dull spots, they stick out like a sore thumb. The smooth patch also stands out in con­ trast to the slightly bumpy texture of the rest of the wall. A quick coat of primer is all it takes to eliminate flash­ ing and texture differences. Primer seals the patch so paint won't sink in and look dull.

To match texture, prime with a roll­ er, feathering out the edges. Choose a nap thickness to match the surround­ ing wall texture.

3. Let paint dry, then cut the tape for a perfect edge Once paint is dry, you can't just pull the tape off the trim. Paint forms a film be­ tween the wall and the tape, and re­ moving the tape tears pieces of dried paint off the wall.

So before pulling off the tape, cut it loose. Wait for the paint to complete­ lydry,atleast24hours,thenuseasharp utility knife to slice through the film.

Start in an inconspicuous area to make sure the paint is hard enough to slice cleanly. If you cut the paint while it's still gummy, you'll make a mess.

4. Feather out paint where you can't keep a wet edge You can't cover large areas like ceilings, extra­tall walls or stairwells in single, continuous strokes, so the best way to minimise lap marks on these areas is to

Learning from my mistakes

NERESH GAYAPERSHAD

A bit about

I

'VE made a lot of big mistakes in my life. I've hurt people, I've broken things, I've neglected to fulfill responsibilities, I've said stupid things. You name it, I've been there.

Fortunately, as I grow older I recognise situations that are mistakes waiting to happen a little earlier than I used to, and

I'm able to avoid making many of the same mistakes that I've made before ­ many, not all.

But one of the most liberating aspects of my life is the fact that I'm now able to accept my mistakes for what they are ­ mistakes. Not crimes (in my case, anyway), and not horrible actions that will lead to complete social disgrace, just mistakes.

I used to beat myself up over them, and my own mental beatings after the mistakes were much worse than the inci­ dent itself, or anything that anyone else could have done to me as a result of the mistake.

If I said something hurtful in the past, I'd feel that the person I hurt would never want to talk to me again, that the person would reject me completely for the rest of my life.

The reality of the situation, though,

was that most of the time, the other per­ son forgot about it pretty quickly, and I was still agonising over the response of someone who wasn't even thinking of what I did any more.

It was pretty awful, because just like in the previous example, most people forgot about my mistake pretty quickly ­ or at least, they weren't holding it against me.

The time and energy that I wasted agonising over what were minor mistakes, most of the time, could have been spent much more effectively on pursuits other than making myself miserable.

Nowadays, though, mistakes are an important part of my life, for they have a very positive effect on me ­ at least two very positive effects that I can think of.

First off, they help me learn.

Once I make a mistake now, I own it ­ I admit it and I look at it to figure out what went wrong.

It's very important for me to know what goes into a mistake, ­ both for my sake and for the sake of anyone that I'm able to talk to about mistakes.

I learn a lot from my mistakes ­ I learn how things shouldn't be done, I learn howIoften misjudge situations or people, and I learn that I can't foresee all the re­ sults of my actions.

Secondly, mistakes keep me humble, for they always provide me with an op­ portunity to offer a heartfelt apology.

Apologies are an invitation for forgive­ ness, and forgiveness is a positive aspect of anyone's life.

Once I apologise for a mistake I've made, my relationship with the other per­ son or people strengthens, as long as the other parties are willing to accept the apology.

I no longer agonise over mistakes, and I recognise now just how harmful my own

thoughts were when I used to do that.

I kind of wish that I had some of the lost time and energy back, but I know that the agonising was another mistake, one that took me a little bit longer to learn from. Now I take risks and make mistakes, you should too ­ we are human, and bound to make mistakes.

When we do make them, who should learn from them, and accept them as a part of life, a part of who we are and who we will be.

My guess is that nobody gets through this life without making an extremely high number of mistakes, and you're no excep­ tion.

Another guess is that the wisest among us are those who have made the most mis­ takes and who have owned up to and learned from them all.

Our road to wisdom isn't in a book ­ it's in our own mistakes!

Nadasen does it again

>> Superb batting leads Ilembe to victory WEEKLY REPORTER

Ilembe batsman Alveiro Nadasen in action.

LVEIRO Nadasen inspired Ilembe to an emphatic 189-runs victory against Umlazi in a KwaZulu-Natal Cricket Union Challenge League game played at the Country Club Ground on Sunday.

Umlazi won the toss and elected to field first in overcast conditions.

The visitors made an early breakthrough after Gavin Govender was caught by Nelson Dlamini off the bowling of Andile Ngcobo for a mere two runs in the fourth over.

Despite the early setback, Nadasen and Steven Jacobs took the game to their opponents.

They showed scant respect for the Umlazi bowlers, posting an impressive 139-run partnership for the second wicket.

They took the tally from 6/1 in the fourth over to 145/2 in the 30th over before Jacobs was clean bowled by Scelo Khambule for a brilliant 63 run contribution which included nine boundaries and a huge 6.

Yusuf Ismail joined Nadasen at the crease and this pair took the tally to 228/3 before Ismail was adjudged LBW to a Mandla Malanda delivery in the 40th over. Yusuf was one run short of a maiden-century since the start of the 2013/2014 season notching up six 4’s and two huge 6’s in his 49-run spell.

NadasenwastrappedLBWtoaMalandadelivery in the 42nd over. Man-of-the-match Nadasen top-scored with a superb 82 runs which included six 4s and two towering 6s.

PreshenRampersadandDillonRautenbach put on a 26-runs partnership for the fifth wicket before Rampersad (19) was clean bowled by debutante Comfort Shange.

Ilembe slumped from 261/5 to 278/10 after Rautenbach (12), Lucky Gebane (0) and Desigan Pillay (1) succumbed to the pressure of Andile Ngcobo, who finished with figures of 3/35 from nine overs.

Shange grabbed 3/28 from nine overs and Malanda claimed 2/40 from five overs.

Chasing 279-runs for victory, the visitors werebundledoutforapaltry89runsinthe35th over with Sisiso Gaza (34) the only Umlazi batsman to offer any resistance.

Iqbal Sher was the destroyer-in-chief for Ilembe claiming 5/21 from 10 overs. He received good support from Nadasen who grabbed 2/10 from five overs.
