PACK UP: Residents are seen on the destroyed Azalea Road in discussingOceanview,the state of the road with Ward 16 Councillor Sanele Mthiyane

The municipality recently received an allocation of R109 million from National Treasury for flood disaster recovery, however this amount is virtually a fraction of what the municipality requires to carry out complete repairs.. In July this year the residents of Nyoniyamanzi also in Ward 16, rejected a R1 million road re-graveling project, as they had earlier been promised a blacktop road valued at more than R3 million.

Ward 16 Councillor Sanele Mthiyane who was on the scene on Monday when the residents ordered work stoppage, promised the residents that the municipality would return to the area once a new plan and funding for the road had been finalized.

It's becoming a habit for KwaDukuza Municipality to be ordered to pack and go. This week the municipality was told in no uncertain terms to leave the area of Oceanview with its R1 million that was planned to “rehabilitate” Azalea Road, which was completely destroyed by floods. Work had to stop as residents were extremely unhappy with the scope of work for the road, which is

It's quick and easy. “The appointment booking system is one of the many strategies that we have introduced to fight the long queues,” the Department of Home Affairs stated. The introduction of BABS at the local Home Affairs is expected to ease the long queues and also protect citizens against harassment by paras who extort money for places in the queues.

As reported by this newspaper last week, simmering tensions between the DA and ActionSA had ultimately driven a huge wedge between the opposition parties, forcing some of them to jump into bed with the ANC. The DA, IFP and Independent Alliance chose to abstain from voting in the motions, however the EFF, AIC and ATM voted with the ANC in rejecting the motions. One ActionSA councillor was absent, which left only four councillors to vote in favour of the motions, eliciting much ridicule from other political parties. 35 Councillors in total voted against the motions, compared to four in favour of the motions. A total of 15 councillors chose to abstain. IFP Caucus Leader Musa Sibisi was not impressed with ActionSA. “Coalition negotiations collapsed because ActionSA acted too hastily, making its own decisions outside of the coalition framework. As the IFP we were not about to support a motion of no confidence without any formal agreement in place to ensure sound governance after the removal of the current office bearers. That would have impacted badly on service delivery,” Sibisi stated. The DA has shared similar sentiments, accusing ActionSA of demonstrating a “baas” mentality in the coalition talks. DA KwaZulu-Natal Chairperson Dean Macpherson said ActionSA had been warned about its overbearing approach to negotiations. “The DA has insisted from day one, that we cannot be part of a MONC without a signed coalition agreement, as this would create a power vacuum in KwaDukuza which would be filled by ANC appointed administrators. This is the worst possible outcome, which ActionSA has been willing to embrace at all“Incosts. the end, ActionSA has squandered an historic opportunity to be a part of a Macphersongovernment,”coalitionsaid.

The motion was heard in a full Council meeting at the Town Hall, on Wednesday last week. The meeting had been initially scheduled to take place at the Council Chamber however the venue had to be changed due to a large crowd of people who burst into and crammed the Council Chamber, forcing proceedings to halt.Outlining the reasons for bringing the motion, ActionSA Caucus Leader Nel Sewraj put the blame for Council's failure to appoint the head of MPAC on the mayor's door. However this accusation was quickly quashed by other political parties, who pointed out that all members of Council needed take collective blame.

Pitri Paksh is the remembrance of departed ancestor souls by paying respect through prayers, fasting, performance of special rituals, chanting, fasting and austerity. Offering of water and flowers are common. The origin of the observance is wide and varying because of the diversity of the religion, the many languages, dialects and beliefs.

In conclusion, people should not worry if they have not fulfilled all their earthly expectations to their close relatives or society. They should practice the art of being detached, but loving to their close relations. They should practice the remembrance of God at all times and more so in their mature years of life. This practice will assist you in the remembrance of God when you are leaving your body. It is said that your inheritance in your next birth depends on the intensity of this remembrance of God in your last thoughts. We have the practice of remembering all the earthly treasures and the future of relatives in our twilight years and at the time of leaving the body. This brings tremendous pains and sorrows on the soul. You have to remember that you came alone in this world and you have to leave alone. When a soul is preparing to leave the body, it needs silence, prayers and good wishes. If we create an atmosphere of sorrow and grief, then the soul experiences great difficulty in leaving the body. This may seem unloving and cruel not to cry or express grief, but prayers or chanting mantras in silence is better for the soul. Pitri Paksh therefore, should be a time of reflection not only for ancestor souls, but your own preparation for future births. This eternal world drama is fixed and destined.Thisyear Pitri Paksh will be observed from the 10 September to the 25 September 2022.

The actions performed is judged and graded by the spiritual law of action and reaction. This law is known as the law of karma. This is a spiritual law that dispenses divine justice, and believe it or not, you are judge and jury of your own actions. You are the architect of your own destiny. You have to settle your own karmic accounts. You have to have mercy on your own self. Your next birth is based on your karmic accounts. Human souls remain as human souls, for there is no interchange with other lower living species. The quality of life may differ, but rebirth is in the human form. In the golden age, souls exercise the highest level of purity, whereas in the iron age, souls become degraded and dehumanized and experience the most gross form of impurity.

For example, in some cultures, there is great celebration to honor birth, but a solemn atmosphere is created at the time of death. In other cultures, the opposite prevails. The reasons are quite philosophical as well as logical.

Many are not aware of its significance and continue to keep observance out of respect as well as out of tradition, based and supported by uncertainty and superstition. It is a case of being better safe than sorry.

The important thing is to practice your belief with great faith, love and reverence. During this period, people generally do not start new projects, buildings or start investments. Marriages, engagements, pujas or occasions of merriment are generally postponed until a sufficiently long period has elapsed, usually a year, of their dear departed ones. Most of this is handed down and has become custom and tradition.

Unplanned power outrages have become a norm for certain areas in KwaDukuza, with growing frustration among residents at the apparent inability of the municipality to find a lasting solution to the problem.

The occurrence of outages also brings with it the problem of excessive overtime being claimed by electrical staff, who have to attend to power supply problems beyond normal working hours.

In addition to that, demand for petroleum products has decreased as motorists drive less, due to higher inflationary pressures. “The magnitude of the decrease in diesel is less than that of petrol. The middle distillate market is still tight and there is a looming fuel switch from gas to oil for heating purposes as winter approaches in the Northern Hemisphere. This has increased demand for middle distillates. This demand will tighten the middle distillates supply even manure which could lead to possible price increases in future,” the Department pointed out.

KSST seemed to have reestablished their mojos when they came up against a steady Glenhills outfit in the league match under the auspices of the KwaDukuza Volleyball Association last Friday. KSST used to be one of the powerhouses a few years back dominating volleyball in KwaDukuza as well as KwaZulu Natal.Though the youthful Glenhills outfit gave a good account of themselves, they were outsmarted by experience. There was a steady start to the game as both teams tried to read each other's game plan. As the set continued, KSST upped their tempo at crucial stages and won the set 25-19. It was the same pattern in the second set as KSST tried to power their way through but were met with some diligent play from Glenhills whose defensive play and court covering proved crucial. However, KSST showed their superior power as the went on to lift the second set 25-20 and the game 21.

ISFK to participate in national championships

Comrades produces two maiden winners

The ISKF Stanger Manor team will be participating in the SA National Championship in Pretoria this weekend. History will be made when Arthur Nathras and Sensei Tarzan Naicker will also be doing KwaDukuza

The 2022 Comrades Marathon produced two maiden winners in Tete Dijana and Alexandra Morozova.

Women's race winner Alexandra Morozova was visibly flagging by the time she reached the Moses Mabhida Stadium. However, she'd put in a fair bit of distance between her (06:17:48) and second place finisher Dominika Stelmach (06:25:09), who is from Poland. Morozova's participation was clouded by legalities, but was cleared to take part on Friday.

The duo came into the race on the back of different challenges that they needed to overcome. They won their races with a measure of comfort, pulling away from the respective second-placed finishers by some distance. Maiden Comrades Marathon winner Tete Dijana battled to hide his joy when winning the 95th edition of the ultra-marathon from only his second start in the race.

Dijana, who hails from the North-West province, crossed the finishing line in a time of 05:30:38, just over three minutes ahead of the second-placed Edward Mothibi, who also was the out trumps in their opening two fixtures. In the first game annihilated Antigua & Barbuda of Jamaica 7418. The solid start to the tournament continued when they demolished Grenada 58-28. Watch this space for further details on the progress of the team. defending champion. The 34-yearold Dijana, who quit his job as a security guard to focus on running, said winning the race meant a lot to him, while also thanking his coach Dave Adams for ensuring he was in top nick for the race.

Grove Ends dominance in the league continued as they kept their unbeaten record on track. They had complete control of their game as they overcame Cool Leaders 25-16, 25-13. Manor Old Boys, whose perfect start to the season in the hunt for the crown continued when they played Team Style in their league encounter. They blazed through to a 25-19, 2512.The game between Heights and Taurus reached its peak in the first set with nothing separating both sides as they attacked and defended with all that they have. With the game evenly poised throughout, it took just one blunder from Taurus to hand Heights the tightly fought set 28-26. Taurus had not given up yet. They turned the tables in the second set and went up a gear dominating play and cruised to a 25-16 win to level the scores and send the game into the third and final set. Once again both teams gave off their best matching each other point for point. Taurus held on to their nerves and won the set 17-15 and the game 21.

Love from Mum, Sriya & Veeran y name is Nicolene Gounden, and I am 27 years old. My career startedMoff in 2012, when I studied cosmetology at Hair dot com academy in Stanger. Cosmetology is hair with a bit of nails, waxing, make-up, massages and facials. I always wanted to further my hair dressing career and that's when I started working at Carlton Hair Ballito, and I also studied further at Carlton Hair SA Durban. There after I started working for Rolf Offerman in Ballito and now, finally, I'm the proud owner of Nicky's Hair Studio and Spa. Carving out your own path in business takes a lot of hard work, dedication and endless hours. As a hairstylist with 11 years' experience to my belt I have seen all the pros and cons of the industry. One thing that is guaranteed in this business is that every day is different, and everyone who walks in the doors walks out with a smile; that is one of the reasons I love being a hairstylist. You get to meet people from all walks of life, all different stories to tell. The feeling you get when they express appreciation is priceless. It's infinitely rewarding to know that you have given that person so much confidence and joy, you can't help but feel like you achieved something great. My family and husband are my biggest body get a
