EDITORIAL COMMENT

A number of reasons to celebrate MANY people either look forward to the festive pe­ riod and begin their countdown to Christmas in Oc­ tober, while others are left running for the hills to avoid the ‘silliness’ that comes with the season.

As we get ready to wind down and take a breath­ er, we decided to reflect on some of the wonderful reasons to celebrate the year that was.

Yes, we can talk about some of the lowlights as well (no pun on the word ‘lights’), but that would not be very festive at all.

The team at the Fever has had a wonderful year and has shared some truly remarkable memories with you.

We’ve had an action­packed year from meeting wonderful individuals who are slowly changing their communities one step at a time to covering campaigns that shows a proactive community who are willing to fight for their beloved home towns.

To those people who are continuously going the

extra mile to serve others, we would like to salute you and thank you for allowing us to share your sto­ ries.

This year South Africans voted hoping for the best – many are now glued to the parliament ses­ sion coverage because you never know what to ex­ pect. In 2015 we will be joining the queues for the by­elections and once again, hoping for positive change.

We know we live in a beautiful city and another reason to be a proud Durbanite is Durban has been voted an official new Seven Wonder City of the world.

The picturesque beaches, rolling hills and breath­taking skyline together with a host of won­ derful inhabitants, sets us apart from the rest of South Africa.

After 40 years, the Miss World title is held by a South African.

Rolene Strauss was crowned Miss World at the weekend and now features in a long list of remarka­ ble women who continue to make a difference to the countries they live in and the world.

South Africans also took time through out the year to remember Nelson Mandela and do their bit to fulfill his legacy.

It’s been a year since his death and many ques­ tioned the stability and patriotism of South Afri­ cans. The good news is, it seems as if communities are now more united than ever. Many believe his spirit still lives on calling it a sprinkling of ‘Madiba magic’.

Clearly South Africans will continue to make great strides despite the negative news that some­ times comes to the fore.

The Fever would like to wish all our fantastic cli­ ents and readers a wonderfully happy festive sea­ son and here’s to welcoming 2015 in style.

MEC for Transport Mxolisi Kaunda (left) and Msunduzi Mayor Themba Njilo leading the peace walk in Dambuza on Tuesday.

K

WAZULU-NATAL MEC for Transport,Community Safety and Liaison Mxolisi Kaunda has urged Pietermaritzburg South Cluster Commander Major-General Phumelele Makhoba to deploy a task team to investigate all unresolved cases in Dambuza so that criminals can be arrested.

Kaunda was speaking at the launch of the anti-crime programme in Dambuza on Tuesday.

He said people deserve to live happily without having to worry about criminals still roaming the streets.

“This is just the beginning. Today we just want to pass a message to all criminals out there that we are coming for them. There will be no place to hide now.

We have heard that there are people who sell drugs in this area [Dambuza] and rob workers on their way to work in the mornings. As from today that will stop ... you can not commit a crime and walk free.

“If there is any community member who opened a case but was never re-

solved or the perpetrator was not caught, I urge you to go back to the police station where you opened the case, we are going to re-investigate that case. If there are witnesses for those cases as well, they must come forward and speak to the police so that we can arrest criminals,” he said.

Kaunda said when he returns to Dambuza, he wants to host a big community meeting there to get more people involved in fighting crime.

“Members of the public know who are the criminals, they even know their

commuters and the economy. They also divert the attention and stretch the resources of the police, who instead of focusing on fighting crime, have to manage public protests.

“As government, we are concerned about the recent spate of violent and illegal public protests in the province. In the last financial year alone, we have had approximately 530 protests. We anticipate that these protests will increase ahead of the 2019 general elections,” he said.

Kaunda, who was tabling the department’s budget at the legislature yesterday, said the committee would receive reports on service delivery protests, labour unrest, land

A task team to monitor public protest hotspots in the province has been formed as the Department of Community Safety gears up for increased protests in the run-up to next year’s election.

MEC Mxolisi Kaunda said the provincial cabinet had formed the technical committee on public protests to be led by his department.

“Unfortunately, the majority of protests in the province do not adhere to the provisions of this act [Gatherings Act of 1993], and have adverse repercussions for our communities,

names. You must report them to the police. They must also report the police officers who work with criminals, yet hide under police [the] uniform.”

He said the department would work with the multi-party political intervention committee to address political intolerance in areas identified.

Fences for busy freeways in Maritzburg

Teachers picket over unpaid salaries

Members of Natu outside KwaZulu-Natal Legislature last Thursday.

W

HILE the Minister of Education in KwaZulu-Natal Mthandeni Dlungwane was delivering his budget speech for 2018/19 at the provincial legislature last Thursday, Grade R teachers were picketing outside over unpaid salaries.

Teachers under the unions National Teacher’s Union (Natu) and South African Democratic Teacher’s Union (Sadtu) said that they have not been paid for the month of April and they have not received their sal-

ary increment for 2017.

They [teachers] said that the department was supposed to increase their salary

by R1 250 in April last year but that never happened.

Natu Vice president Nkululeko Ngcobo told Echo that Grade R teachers usually get paid at the month end.

“When staff did not receive their salaries on April 30, we thought they’ll receive it the following day or on May 2 but that too never happened. How are they supposed to pay their bills and feed their families? Dlungwane continued with his day as usual and

went to deliver a budget speech like nothing happened. Even during his budget speech he only mentioned last year’s increment.

What about the increment for this year because this is the new financial year?” Ngcobo asked.

Ngcobo said that they have been contacting the department [education] enquiring about the increment since last year but nothing has come out of it.

“The department told us they will backpay all the teachers from April last year, but they have been waiting since then. If they [department] don’t solve this problem soon

May 10, 2018

we are going to take this matter to the next level.

This was just a peaceful picketing to pass a message to the department.”Ngcobo also accused the department for spending lots of money on sanitary towels in schools instead of giving the teachers an increment.

Department of education spokesperson Sicelo Khuzwayo said that they have spoken to workers and more than 50% of them have been paid. “Those who have not yet received their salaries they will get it soon.

We are experiencing problems with our systems.”

IN an effort to prevent the further unnecessary loss of lives, vandal-proof fences are being erected at additional vulnerable sections of the N3 and N2 in KwaZulu-Natal.

Pedestrians are hit by vehicles when they attempt to cross freeways instead of using overhead bridges in the vicinity.

The South African National Roads Agency SOC Limited (SANRAL) is presently erecting fencing between Chota Motala Bridge and Chatterton Rd on the N3 Pietermaritzburg bypass.

Fencing is also being erected over a 2 kilometre section of the N3 at Cliffdale and a 2 km section of the N2 at Kwa Mashu.

SANRAL has previously erected fences on the N3 in the vicinity of the Mariannhill Toll Plaza to prevent hawkers from gaining access to the toll. Fences have also been erected on the N3 Pietermaritzburg Bypass in the median between Chota Motala Bridge and Ohrtmann Road and in the median opposite the BP Oasis service station at Cato Ridge.

Bruno Cullen, SANRAL Eastern Region project manager,said pedestrians vandalised the fencing material that had previously been used along certain sections to prevent them from crossing the busy highway.

“We have experimented with vandalproof fences which have so far proven to be most effective in preventing people from crossing and causing an unsafe environment.”

The fencing which stands at almost 2,5 metres high is manufactured from galvanized pressed high-density mesh panels with anti-cut dimensions with galvanised spikes bolted along the top. It is not possible to climb this type of fence and is also difficult to cut.

Cullen said that it is a well-known fact that approximately 40% of all deaths on South African roads are pedestrians.

UKZN athlete and leader drowns while swimming at Midmar Dam KERUSHUN PILLAY A UNIVERSITY of KwaZulu-Natal student drowned in Midmar Dam on Saturday.

Sizophila Mahlobo (24), a keen sportsman who was chairperson of the university’s athletics club, drowned on Saturday afternoon when he and some friends swam to retrieve their canoe.

He was declared dead on scene.

Mahlobo, of Esikhawini, near Empangeni, was pursuing a Master of Science degree in Hydrology at the Pietermaritzburg campus, where his research interest was water quality.

ER24 spokesperson Werner Vermaak, said paramedics and members of the SAPS search and rescue worked to recover Mahlobo’s body.

“Bystanders on the scene explained to emergency workers that they swam out to retrieve a canoe [and then] noticed one of their friends were missing.”

He said the circumstances surrounding the incident would be investigated by police.

Friends and colleagues said Mahlobo was a long-distance runner for UKZN’s athletics club.

He was the club’s treasurer before he was made chairperson this year.

Andrew Stewart, the vice chairperson of the athletics club, said he had heard of the incident on Saturday via UKZN’s sports union. He said Mahlobo had nominated him last year to be vice chairperson.

“I would never have accepted it if not for him.

He was by far the best leader I’d seen; I was always impressed by the way he dealt with things.

“He was quite a sportsman, and he had a lot of time for people. He was a very organised leader.”

Blessing Zondi, a friend of Mahlobo’s of six years, said he was a hard-working person who was always “determined to see the grass grow”.

“He was a very cool guy, very talkative and always laughing. He was a bit naughty but he was honest.”

A tribute on the athletics club’s official Instagram page said: “The country has lost a person that had an opportunity to contribute to one of our scarce skills areas.

Ironically, it seems Phila’s journey and the

Attempts to contact Mahlobo’s family were unsuccessful yesterday.

UKZN said it was waiting for a full report of the circumstances.

It sent condolences to his family and teammates.

Sukuma Comprehensive, Zibukezulu High and Fundokuhle High schools attended the expo.

Nqobile Kwitshana from Great Impact Lifestyle said that this is the second time such an event was held for Imbali schools.

“We want to give pupils an opportunity to learn about different careers before they choose what they want to study.

“Most pupils end up choosing wrong careers because they did not get the information they needed in

time.

“We also invited the funding companies because we want to make them aware of the options they have if they want to study but don’t have finance.

“We want them to fight for their future.

“Youngsters have a bright future ahead of them, they just need people with an experience to show them the way,” Kwitshana said.

Kwitshana said that there are a lot of university students who have dropped out or who have failed their modules because they chose wrong careers.

“We don’t want to see many other students drop out or fail because they lack information about a specific career.

“We will continue to work hard in making sure of this.”

Kwitshana said that they are hoping to have more schools attend next year and to also be able to go out to other organisations to assist.

Prevent burns and burn injuries A

BURN is one of the most devastating injuries. It leaves in its wake both physical and mental anguish.

Many burn injuries are accidental and are a common cause of unintentional injury — preventative care can reduce the likelihood of an unintended incident.

In observance of National Burns Week from May 6-12, Netcare St Anne’s Hospital encourages the public to learn about preventing burn injuries and protecting children.

As the winter months approach, the use of candles, paraffin stoves and open fires increase, placing children at even greater risk.

Applying the following safety tips can help prevent burn injuries before they happen: • Invest in a cordless kettle.

View your kettle as a weapon.

• Put all hot drinks, hot cooking oil and hot porridge out of reach of children.

• Do not carry urns or pots of boiling water around while there are toddlers on the floor or children running about.

• Turn pot handles away from the front of the stove.

• Put candles in a deep glass bottle with sand in the bottom so it will be put out if it falls over.

• Repair all faulty electrical plugs

and leads.

• Report stolen cover plates on power poles or substations with broken fences or locks.

• Do not leave children unsupervised near matches, candles, lighters or fireworks or when they are in or near the kitchen.

• Lock paraffin and other flammables, including “safe” gels away.

• Do not cover braai fires with sand.

The heat stays in the sand for hours and will burn unsuspected feet walking over the sand. Pour water over fires and coals.

• Do not cook eggs in a microwave.

The shell can explode and cause severe face and eye injuries.

• Noodles cooked in microwave ovens become extremely hot, along with the container, and can cause severe burns.

• Pour cold water in the bath first and then add hot water. Set your geyser to low temperatures (about 55 degrees).

Always test the bath water with your elbow before bathing children.

• Avoid using tablecloths or anything a child can pull on and cause hot food or liquid to spill.

• Never hold a child while cooking.

• Test and stir all food before serving children to make sure it is cool enough to eat.

• Should anyone sustain a burn injury involving flames, the victim

should stop, drop and roll to put out the flames.

• Do not touch electrical injury victims before removed from the current — use a stick or non-conductor to avoid rescuer injury or death.

• The heat from a fire, hot water or electrical burn will continue to burn the tissue long after the offending contact is removed.

It is essential to stop the burning by keeping the burnt body part under cold running tap water for 20 minutes.

Do not use ice or ice water — it can cause frostbite because the skin is already damaged.

• Do not apply butter or any oilbased product to a burn injury, the oil can trap the heat and make the burn deeper over time.

Burn injury happens in seconds, but can change a person’s life forever.

Recovery is a life-long process — it continues long after discharge from the hospital and rehabilitation starts on day one.

Burn injury not only affects the injured, but also the families who love and support that person.

Netcare St Annes Hospital urges parents and caregivers to be aware of the dangers posed and to take steps to keep their families safe.

How to choose the right funeral plan FOR many South Africans, choosing a funeral policy is the first experience they have with insurance products.

“A positive experience with funeral schemes can encourage consumer confidence in the insurance industry”said Sonja Visser, CEO of African Unity Life, a registered insurer that underwrites a large selection of well-known funeral schemes.

“It is potentially disastrous if the policyholder may find out at some stage that there is no financial or institutional support to pay out claims to beneficiaries of the insured”.Acquiring a funeral policy is the first step people take to ensure that they and their families can afford a dignified funeral.“Choosing the right funeral policy can prove a challenge as there are many options and providers — and not all of them are reliable,” said Visser.

“It is crucial that consumers are sure that the policy they purchase,is with a registered and trustworthy service provider.”When choosing a policy, consumers need to carefully consider their family’s needs. The chosen cover should include the appropriate range of benefits required, such as the required casket, transport services for family and friends to the funeral, a grocery benefit (to support the family for a short while), airtime to contact relatives and friends.

Benefits will vary according to the funeral plan and level of cover chosen.“It is important to note that there are no medical examinations when taking out a funeral policy,” said Visser. “However, there is usually a waiting period, generally of about six months.” It is of utmost importance to confirm that the person who is selling the policy has a license from the FSB (or works with an FSP), which must be presented upon request. Additionally, funeral policies are often administered and sold by third party funeral administrators, so it is important to know who the insurer is that underwrites the risk.

African Unity Life proposes the following checklist when taking out a funeral policy: • Confirm the details of the intermediary and their relationship with the insurer. Intermediaries must be mandated by insurers to sell their products.

• Always complete a policy proposal form yourself.

• Give complete and accurate information.

If in doubt, disclose information.

• Always read any document thoroughly before signing it.

• You have a 30-day grace period to cancel a policy or make amendments - enquire about the cooling-off period.

• Make sure the policy contract matches what you understood it should be.

• Check the terms and conditions, benefits, premiums and exclusions.

• Ask what the implications are of replacing one policy with another.

• Keep written proof of your correspondence and dealings with the insurer and intermediary. Visser said that once a policy is in place, there are still a few things to be aware of regarding the actual claims process: • Most insurers will pay out within 48 hours if the correct documentation is submitted. You will need a death certificate, proof of banking and the applicable claim forms.

• Remember, the insurer cannot stipulate what the claim payout is used for.

• You do not get any money out if you cancel the policy. It is a pure risk insurance product, which means that the premium you are paying is being used to cover the risk of your passing away. The moment you cancel the policy or it lapses (if premiums are not paid) your cover will be forfeited and no claim will be paid.

• Ask for written explanation for repudiation or non-payment of claims.

• An insurer must always advise the holder of a policy when the policy is being cancelled.

Diabetes in African females of child bearing age is on the rise T

HE African continent is characterised by a population in the process of transition.

As more and more people experience a change in lifestyle, embracing the Western way of life as opposed to more traditional customs, so Professor Andre Kengne.

PHOTO: SUPPLIED

too are they more exposed to a number of chronic conditions and illnesses that were less of a threat in decades gone by.

According to Professor Andre Kengne, Director: Non-Communicable Diseases Research Unit at the South African Medical Research Council, “diabesity” — th e term for diabetes occurring in the context of obesity — is on the increase in Africa as a result of a growing overweight population and is the

result of lifestyle changes, unhealthy food choices and a decrease in physical activity. “Coupled to obesity comes the threat of related illnesses such as diabetes”.

Presenting at the upcoming Public Health Conference at Africa Health Exhibition & Congress on the topic of “Diabesity — trends in the overweight and diabetes in Africa”, Kengne explains that this is an area of medicine which is still relatively unknown in the African setting.

Research conducted over the past 20 years has not delved into the extent to which diabetes affects women between the ages of 16 and 49.

However, according to a recent overview jointly conducted by the University of Cape Town, Non-Communicable Diseases Research Unit and Witwatersrand University, 7% of African women aged 15 to 54 years are currently suffering from diabetes.

The key driver of the increase in diabetes among women of child bearing age is lifestyle change, said Kengne.

“There are a number of reasons for this changing lifestyle on the African continent, amongst them poverty, lack of access to nutritious food and the dearth of both knowledge and financial means to make healthy food choices, not to mention the increased availability of unhealthy fast food offerings as Western diets become more popular.”

Diabetes is not only impacting adult women.

As children and adolescents become overweight earlier in life, they are at an increased risk of developing several chronic illnesses including diabetes.

Even pregnant women are at risk of

developing gestational diabetes (GDM) which poses significant risk to both mother and foetus as well as increased neonatal risks, reports Dr Sumaiya Adam, Consultant in Obstetrics & Gynaecology at the University of Pretoria and a speaker at the Medical Obstetrics Conference on Diabetes in Pregnancy.

But what is particularly concerning, reveals Kengne,is that over two thirds of diabetes cases in Africa remain undiagnosed and therefore, untreated.

In cases where treatment is received, the disease has often progressed too far down the line and the quality of care is not optimal.

Adam agrees that under and undiagnosed diabetes incidents in pregnant women is a problem leading to longterm negative health outcomes in children including childhood obesity, Type 2 DM and metabolic syndrome.

What is needed, argues Kengne, is better access to diagnosis and treatment.

To better manage diabetes, he said, requires both an improvement in the current knowledge of how to postpone the disease, and better still, to prevent the diseases from taking hold.

“At this stage, we are working on the first study dealing with prevention in a South African context,”Kengne reveals.

Sadly, however, little has been done in terms of education and prevention on the continent overall.

That said, Kengne cautions against taking a negative attitude, saying that there is no reason why this situation cannot be changed.

He cites the recent introduction of a sugar tax in South Africa as a successful example of what can be done to reduce

the incidence of obesity and chronic disease in Africa.

Early diagnosis is key,and to this end, there is a need for proactive action at all stages of an individual’s life cycle, said Kengne.

He explains what he terms the “Life Course approach”to the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of diabetes, which should essentially start at the phase of planned pregnancy.

“This entails ensuring that the expectant mother follows the correct diet, is not exposed to any health risks and that her weight and that of the baby are monitored throughout the pregnancy.

This approach to health and diet should be taken throughout the lives of mother and child,” Kengne said.

Obesity and related diabetes that presents early in life is far harder to manage, he points out.

“Our mistake is to wait until people have already developed the disease, rather than using an approach which promotes healthy choices and will prevent it from developing in the first place.”

Kengne will be speaking at the Public Health Conference,which will form part of the 8th annual Africa Health Exhibition & Congress 2018 taking place from May 29 - 31 at the Gallagher Convention Centre in Johannesburg.

The event is expected to attract more than 10 100 healthcare professionals and over 553 leading international and regional healthcare and pharmaceutical suppliers, manufacturers and service providers.

BLOOD supply in KwaZulu-Natal is about to run out, with only half a day’s stock available — prompting a call for donors to step forward urgently.

“The blood stock in KZN is dangerously low. We are currently at 0.9, which is 177 units of blood and we need all blood groups to boost the stock,” said Sifiso Khoza, regional marketing manager for the South African National Blood Service (SANBS).

“A healthy blood stock in the province is 500 units of blood a day but now we’re down to 177 units right now, which means we don’t

have enough blood to last even for today.

And as much as we need all blood types, blood group O is in demand as it is universal and can be transferable to all patients in need.

“The situation is critical. We are appealing to residents of KwaZuluNatal — active donors, potential donors and lapsed donors — to help to bolster the regional blood stock,” Khoza said.

“There are many people in lifethreatening situations who require blood, right now.

“It’s the cancer patients who need regular blood supply, it’s the mother

giving birth, it’s those who have been in accidents and it’s anyone suffering complications during major surgery.

“If you are able to donate blood, please do so as soon as you can. We’d like to thank you in advance for your donation.

“It’s not just about donating blood, it’s about saving people’s lives,” said Khoza.

To find out more about donating blood and to locate your nearest SANBS donor centre in KwaZuluNatal, visit sanbs.org.za or call 080 011 9031.

Plan ahead to avoid the worst of winter I

T’S getting a little harder to get out of bed in the morning and more tempting to linger in a hot shower, sure signs that winter is on its way.

South Africa’s temperate climate means that most of us will be breaking out a heavier duvet or putting more blankets on the bed.

But are there any other practical steps you can or should be taking to prepare for the change of season?

Financial services company, DirectAxis, gathered tips from some handymen about common problems that can occur during winter and how to prevent these.

The advice covered three broad themes: planning ahead, preventative maintenance and conserving heat.

PLANNING AHEAD The laws of supply and demand dictate that if you wait until temperatures plummet before stocking up on fire wood or getting more gas for the gas heater, you’ll pay more.

Alternatively you’ll be faced with Murphy’s law and the supplier will have run out.

Buying winter essentials such as firewood, gas or even replacing old or broken heaters is best done before the weather turns cold.

Also bear in mind that power cuts are more likely in winter either because high winds blow trees across power lines or increased demand puts strain on electrical infrastructure.

These are much easier to deal with if you’ve got working torches and batteries in the house.

Rechargeable solar LED lights are also a good idea, as long as you make sure they’re charged.

A skottelbraai or gas-fuelled camping set are quick to set up and easy to cook on when the power goes out, but entirely useless if you’ve run out of gas. Check.

If you bought a generator or an uninterrupted power supply system during the days of load-shedding, test them to make sure they still work.

PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE All the handymen agreed that preventing problems is always less expensive than fixing them afterwards.

You can do most preventative maintenance yourself at little or no cost, although it’s best to get professional help if you’re unsure how to go about it or don’t have the right tools.

Simple maintenance includes

making sure gutters are clear of leaves and other debris.

The weight of water in clogged gutters can break the brackets that support them.

The backed up water also needs to go somewhere. If you’re lucky it’ll just pour over the side.

If not, the wind can blow it up under the tiles potentially damaging ceilings and fittings.

While you’re checking the gutters also take a careful look at the roof for missing, broken or shifted tiles or other issues that could result in leaks or the wind getting in and potentially causing more damage.

If you are looking forward to a nice roaring fire, check your chimney.

You should be looking for blockages such as birds’ nests and soot build up.

If there does seem to be excessive soot, it’s worth considering getting in a professional rather than risking a fire in the chimney.

Take a walk around the house and check for any trees that might blow over or branches that could break off and damage the house.

You may be able to trim some yourself, but if you’re in doubt get in a professional tree feller.

While you’re doing your walkaround check the outside lighting.

This is a sensible security precaution because it gets dark earlier in winter.

Not only will well-lit paths and approaches potentially discourage criminals, but will help prevent you, your family or guests tripping and falling on cold winter nights or early mornings.

CONSERVING HEAT Whether you’re using a gas or electric heater, or a fire to warm your house, heating costs money.

The first thing to consider if you want to save heat and money is to make sure the house is well insulated. If you don’t have insulation in your ceiling, it’s worth considering.

It’ll keep the heat in during winter and keep you cool in summer. If you have insulation, check to make sure it hasn’t shifted, been torn or damaged.

While you’re in the ceiling, check to see if there’s a cover on the geyser. If not, you may want to think about getting one. Heating water is also expensive.

Once you’ve dealt with the roof space, check doors and windows.

It’s relatively cheap and effective to

fit self-adhesive rubber seals to the bottom of draughty doors and to fix window’s that aren’t sealing properly or repair weather strips.

A simple sausage-dog draft excluder is easy to make and will stop cold air getting in under doors.

Another tip is to use your curtains. Open them when the sun’s shining and warming the house.

Close them when it’s dark and cold, they help prevent the warm air escaping.

Consider the placement of your furniture. It may be great to have the sofa in front of the heater, particularly for the people sitting on it, but this may prevent the warm air circulating to the rest of the room.

DirectAxis marketing head, Marlies Kappers, said that preparing for winter doesn’t need to cost a fortune.

“Some sensible spending before it gets cold might mean avoiding bigger costs when a tree falls down or a gutter breaks in the middle of winter.”

“JUST AFTER ONE CONSULTATION, DR JUMA CHANGED OUR LIVES” PILLAY (46YRS )FROM NORTHDALE: we heard about DR. JUMA 2yrs ago but we couldn’t believe until when Moulana referred us to him and he asked us to come with R100 and our lives changed. I won R9.7m in Lotto, we had tried many doctors but all failed.

After 2days my wife consulted DR. JUMA, he gave her a magic ring to wear it on her right hand, when she reached the Casino she began playing the machine and later went to he table everyone looked at her as she was won R2.6m in the Casino. After we bought 2 brand new cars, a house and opened up business. She also told us to use the same ring in our business premises and now is booming. THANK YOU DR. JUMA WE REGARD YOU AS OUR FAMILY FATHER. NAIDOO (46YRS): I got fired at work last year in June, I tried everywhere to get a job but didn’t, later my husband went away with another woman because I wasn’t working.

JUMA he gave me KATIKO powder, within one day I got a call from Edgars store and Cell c Ballito, now am happy, working and my husband is back after 2days, he apologized bought me a brand new car and he stopped drinking.

THE National Futsal League (NFL) title is back in Pietermaritzburg, thanks to an amazing winning run by Young Natalians in recent months.

The goal-crazy local outfit have secured the title for the second time in three seasons through winning their last eight matches, after being put under immense pressure by defending champions eThekwini City.

“What’s more amazing about our league success is that almost every one of our last five or so games were mustwin affairs because eThekwini had played more games than us and got points from those, so we needed to keep winning to keep our title hopes and fortunately, we did,” said elated Natalians coach Greg Nair.

“Because of the way the league panned out, basically from the start of the second round of fixtures, we were in a real pressure situation. So, I thought the guys did very well under the circumstances.”

Nair’s champions will close the 12match league season with a derby against Maritzburg Hotspurs at the local YMCA on Friday, following crucial 5-1 wins they posted against both Tshwane City and OBC Chicken in Gauteng at the weekend to move into an unassailable position in the standings.

He can foresee his men getting another win this week to crown their glory, and he knows they will also be extremely hungry to win the NFL knockout tournament planned for July.

“Two seasons ago, we won the

league and Cup, but it was a hard pill to swallow when we finished second to eThekwini in the league and Cup last season.

“As such, we started this season with the big aim of reclaiming the league. We knew the team to beat would be eThekwini and that we had to do it in both rounds of the league, which we did,” explained Nair, a car parts dealer in the city. “Game by game, we got stronger, and I think the big difference for us this season has been our ability to dominate possession even more than before, up to 90% in games.

“The new players we brought in, such as Quincy Ngcobo, were also a great help and really supported our top striker Tsepo Liphuko. We also had a lot of playing and coaching experience to count on, and we played with high intensity throughout. “Now, we plan to win the Cup again.” In terms of the log standings ahead of this week’s final league matches, Natalians, eThekwini and Hotspurs will remain in the top three positions regardless of the match outcomes.In fact, the other teams will also stay where they are at present because of the points situation which has seen KwaZulu-Natal sides dominate the NFL once again.

WITH one eye on the Nedbank Cup trophy, grief-stricken Maritzburg United are putting on a brave face as they look to conclude their magical Absa Premiership season with a home win against Golden Arrows this weekend, according to midfielder Siphe­sihle Ndlovu (pictured).

The 21-year-old Ndlovu is one of three players who are back in contention from suspension for the clash at Harry Gwala Stadium, the others being Mxolisi Kunene and Richard Ofori.

The trio missed the club’s 2-0 defeat against Kaizer Chiefs in the last game in Johannesburg and, despite trying circumstances facing the local club at the moment as they prepare to bid their final farewell to deceased team-mate Luyanda Ntshangase tomorrow, Ndlovu said they still had hopes of finishing in third place in the Premiership.

He said: “We are obviously still coming to

UMnuz Ndlovu uthe uqale lekilabhu ebizwa ngokuthi yi-Oteniqua ngonyaka ka-2016 ngenhloso yokuvuselela uthando lomdlalo webhola lezandla endaweni yaseMbali.

Selokhu eyivulile lekilabhu uMnuz Ndlovu usenezigaba ezintathu nokungu U-17, U-19 kanye nesigaba sabantu abadala.

“Into eyangigqugquzela kakhulu ukuthi ngifuna ukuqala lento engiyenzayo kungemuva kokuba khona intombazane yaseMbali Unit 2 eyazibulala ngoba inezinkinga.

“Ngabe sengiya esontweni nalapho umfundisi afike wakhuluma ngalolu daba wabe esebuza ukuthi njengoba sihleli sikhuluma ngokuthi intsha ibhekene nezinkinga yini thina esiyenzayo njengomphakathi ukulekelela nokwenza isiqiniseko sokuthi intsha ihleli

SHOOTING THE BREEZE JERRY BARNES

Mabhuti Khenyeza (just to count a few) were the products of such events.

All LFA’s, our municipalities, ward committee’s and especially our councillors need to understand that local events bring the community together, improves the neighbourhood spirit, unity and new talents Solution are discovered.

If we still want to go far in improving our soccer such events need to be re-visited and brought back.

RECENTLY I visited different local soccer grounds around the city to watch some matches staged by the local football associations.

I must say I am very impressed with organisation and dedication displayed by Local Football Associations (LFA’s) and I can see that they are all working towards the bright future. The only thing that was disappointing was the lack of support from the local fans or followers of the beautiful game.

Also, I may be wrong but the standard of local soccer has declined or maybe hit the rock bottom in recent years. I really asked myself countless questions trying to figure it behind the reason.

Personally, I still find it disturbing and senseless to see our youth not doing anything about their lives but just walking up and down or standing around in the street corners.

While I was sitting in one of the local stadiums in the townships I thought back and a flashback of old good popular tournaments came flooding in my mind.

I remember many years ago most townships such as Mpumalanga (Hammarsdale), Imbali, Northdale, Eastwood, Sobantu, Woodlands Edendale, Mpophomeni and even KwaMashu, Umlazi (Dbn), Mooi River and Estcourt used to have annual tournaments when different parts of their areas or MASONITE wards will compete for SHUTTERPLY PINE BROWN AND WHITE the entire weekend.
