However that is not enough, because you arrest them today and tomorrow they go back to the streets. We need to come together and try to help these women, some of them look very young to be on the streets but what can you do if they say it's their bodies?” said Khoza before adding that an intervention is needed from all concerned departments.

KDM lays out plans to alleviate poverty By Xpress Reporter

The KwaDukuza Municipal Council held a Special Meeting on Tuesday, 13 June 2017 to discuss a wide range of issues with a sharp focus on service delivery. Resolutions taken by Council include the following: Adoption of KwaDukuza Municipality R102 Corridor Plan: The Municipality has put plans in place to fight poverty as well as to stimulate local economic development with the implementation of the R102 Corridor Development. The Corridor will increase permeability, as the current movement network is restrictive, with only two main routes between eThekwini and Richards Bay The N2 and R102. The P492 link road from the N2 to R102, running across eThembeni, will be named the Chief Albert Luthuli Road in commemorating

Africa's first Nobel Laureate, freedom fighter and humanitarian. Strategic partnership between B o y s w i t h Vo i c e s a n d KwaDukuza Municipality in the fight against women abuse and human trafficking: In an attempt to fight this brutality Council has agreed that KwaDukuza Municipality (KDM) forges a strategic partnership with BOYS WITH VOICES, a 13 member Accapela musical group, to educate communities, children and women in particular, on ways to protect themselves. The group, hand-in-hand with KDM will conduct awareness campaigns in various wards against the violence, raping, assaulting and killing of women and children. Renewal of Ballito Urban Improvement Precinct implementation for three year period: The ILembe Chamber of

Business, Industry and Tourism, through its Chief Executive Officer lodged a formal application to the Municipal Manager for the establishment of a Special Rating Area, to be known as the Ballito Urban Improvement Precinct (UIP). Subsequently the Chamber was granted permission and the UIP was implemented successfully during the 2015/2016 and 2016/2017 financial years. Adoption of electricity tariff increase: On the 13th April 2017, the National Energy Regulator of South Africa (NERSA) approved a guideline increase of 1.88% for municipalities. Following several consultations with the NERSA, Council adopted the average 1.88% increase in electricity tariffs. Furthermore, Council pleads with communities to conform.

with the services of the municipality. This perception exists out there. While budgets are passed service delivery on all fronts are not up to the expectation of residents. We must improve service delivery and hold department accountable. Cost containment measures must be adhered to in line with goods governance and best practice.

'Those who are not content with a little will not be content with a lot?

Eid-Ul-Fitr; a Unique Festival Time of Joy for Muslims Muslims throughout the country will celebrate the auspicious & joyous occasion of EID-ULFITR, either on Sunday (25/06/2017) or Monday (27/06/2017), upon sighting of the moon, which culminates the end of the Holy month of Ramadaan. .Eid -ul -Fitr is a unique festival. It has no connection with any historical event nor is it related to the changes of seasons or cycles of agriculture. It is not a festival related in any way to worldly affairs. Its significance is purely spiritual. It is the day when the Muslims thank GOD ALMIGHTY for having given them the will, the strength and the endurance to observe fast and obey His commandment during the holy month of Ramadhan. This day, in Muslim world, brings rejoicing and happiness. The rejoicing is not, however, at the departure of the month of Ramadhan; it is the happiness which man feels after successfully completing an important task. So far as the passing away of the month of Ramadhan is concerned, Muslim religious leaders of the early days of Islam always felt profound sorrow when it came to an end, as they felt that they were being deprived of the spiritual blessings which were associated with the month of fasting. To show the original Islamic feeling at the end of Ramadhan, I am quoting some of the sentences from an invocation by Imam ZainulAbedeen. He says:"O Lord, Thou hast ordained Ramadhan to be one of the most chose.. .. ; and Thou hast distinguished it from all other months, and chosen it out of all other seasons and periods; and given it preference to all the times of the year, by having sent the Qur'an and the light of guidance in it, and by having increased the faith, and by having enjoined the observance of fast in it, and by encouraging us to stand up for prayer at night, and by placing in it the glorious 'Night of Qadr' which is better than a thousand months. "Therefore, in accordance with Thy command, we kept fast in its days, and with Thy help, we stood up for prayers in its nights; presenting ourselves, by means of its fasts and prayers, for Thy Mercy which Thou dist offer to us. “And, verily, this month of Ramadhan stayed amongst us a welcome stay; and gave us a righteous company; bestowing upon us the most excellent benefits in the universe. Now, it departs from us at the completion of its time. “Therefore, we bid it farewell as we did goodbye to one whose departure is hard upon us and makes us sad; and whose parting away

makes us feel lonely." Then he turns towards the month of Ramadhan, speaking in an endearing tone:"How much did we long for thee yesterday; and how intense will be our eagerness for thee tomorrow. Peace be on thee and thy excellence of which we have been deprived, and thy blessings which will no longer be with us." These few words are the mirror which show the true Islamic feeling towards the month of Ramadhan and its blessings and spiritual benefits. Eid-ul -Fitr is related to such a month of

JOYOUS: The learners at Buzz Montessori Pre School together with the Xpress Times wish the Muslim community Eid Mubarak blessings, because it is on this day that the strict restrictions of the preceding month are lifted. Unfortunately, in some places, this resumption of the normal activities is misinterpreted as a licence to indulge in activities prohibited in Islam, like gambling, etc. Fortunately, such trends are not common yet; but such people should be made to understand the significance of Eid -ul-Fitr. Religious observances of the Eid-ul-Fitr are designed to offer thanks to GOD ALMIGHTY that He helped us in accomplishing the aim of Ramadhan. Surely, it would be an affront to GOD

Secondly, it affords an opportunity of spiritual stock-taking, after the month of Ramadhan. A Muslim can now ponder over the strength (or weakness) of his will power; he can see, in the mirror of Ramadhan, what were the strong (or weak) points of his character, because under the stress of fasting, the hidden qualities (or evils) of human character come to surface in such clear way which is, perhaps, not possible otherwise. Thus a man gets a chance of self-diagnosis of the traits of his character, which probably no one else may ever detect. Thirdly, it enjoins the well-to -do persons to share a portion of what they have with their

poor brethren. On the eve of Eid-ul-Fitr, a Muslim is obliged to give to the needy foodstuff at the rate of a prescribed weight, on behalf of himself and of every member of his family, including servants and guests who were sheltered under his roof on that night. It would certainly be pleasing to God ALMIGHTY if we did not forget these lessons after Eid-ul-Fitr. Incidentally, here the difference between religious and materialistic outlooks becomes sharper. Religion exhorts a man to give, by his own free will, a share of his wealth to those who are less fortunate, and to give it for obtaining the blessings of God ALMIGHTY. Materialism teaches him to snatch from others whatever they have got without any regard to the moral or ethical questions involved. Thus, the religion tries to strengthen the highest qualities of the human character; materialism strives to make him the slave of the lowest animal instincts degrading him to the level of the beasts. On this day, special prayers are held the world over, between sunrise and noon, when the Muslims assemble, in large congregations, wearing their best dresses standing shoulder to shoulder, demonstrating for everyone the universal brotherhood which is another distinguishing feature of Islam --- the religion of God ALMIGHTY. Let us re-dedicate our life to the cause of humanity, which is the best way to demonstrate our love of God ALMIGHTY. Let us resolve that our energies, in the coming year, will be directed towards strengthening a society based on mutual respect, brotherly love, and universal understanding. Let us decide that, in the coming year, we will build a social order which would bring not only the material benefits, but also the spiritual satisfaction. We pray that Almighty God guide us to recognise Truth for what it is and give us the strength to follow it, and we pray that He guide us to recognise falsehood for what it is and give us the determination to keep away from it while we rejoice, we remind ourselves that there can be no occasion, no moment so joyous, that we forget our peoples' great sacrifices around the world especially those of our orphans and victims of wars in Iraq, Lebanon, Palestine, Kashmir, Afghanistan and Chechnya and the innocent prisoners suffering torture and humiliation in worldwide detention camps.

EID TIMES

Importance of Zakat in Islam Zakat is a beautiful concept that is regarded as one of the five pillars of Islam. In terms of meaning, the word Zakat is taken as “purification” and “growth”. However if one wants to look at the actual definition of Zakat in light of Islamic teachings then it is defined as an obligatory act for every wealthy Muslim in which he or she has to give a calculated amount of his/her wealth to needy people that have been described by the teachings of Holy Quran and hadith. The amount that has to be given has also been told and those who are the worthy receivers of Zakat have been pointed out too. Zakat is regarded as a means of purifying one`s belongings or wealth. According to the teachings of Holy Quran, giving of Zakat is very important, and those who don't follow the commands of GOD Almighty related to Zakat will have to face serious consequences. The importance of Zakat can be judged by the fact that in Holy Quran at numerous locations it is mentioned that “…and establish regular Salah and GIVE regular Zakat…” Zakat in Islam - At 70 places in the Quran, GOD Almighty commands that Salah and Zakat co-exist. Both Salah and Zakat are different forms of worships in Islam. The former has to be done physically while the latter has to be performed financially. Those Muslims who are alert towards this duty have been promised great outcomes, but those who show negligence towards it will have to suffer heavy losses. In the case of Zakat, clear instructions have been provided about the people upon whom the observance of this duty has been made compulsory. Below mentioned are the qualities, which if present in a Muslim, make him eligible to give Zakat.

The Muslim man or woman has to be adult, fully conscious and in his senses. He should be free, not a slave. He or she has to own a specified amount of wealth that has been described by the Holy Prophet PBUH. A thing that needs to be mentioned is that Zakat is not considered for items that are required for personal needs like clothes, furniture etc. At the end of every year Zakat has to be given means the person should be possessing that specified amount or property equal to it for at least a year. If a person has Gold 87.48 Gram or Silver 612.36Gram, then it becomes compulsory for him to pay Zakat. The next important thing is that to what kind of people Zakat should be given. This has also been explained in detail by GOD Almighty. In the Holy Quran it is mentioned that: “Alms are for the poor and the needy, and those employed to administer (the funds); for those whose hearts have been (recently) reconciled (to truth); for those in bondage and in debt; and for the wayfarer: (Thus is it) ordained by GOD ALMIGHTY, and GOD ALMIGHTY is full of Knowledge and Wisdom.”
