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.

Dear Readers, TODAY marks the end of another year for the Hillcrest Fever, and as the festivities kick off for this season, let us reflect on moments that touched our lives and the community this past year. 2014 has been marked by persistent challenges in our economy with price inflations (food, electricity, fuel, etc.). We had weather catastrophes and crime

Through the difficult times, our readers have once again proven that we are, without a doubt, among the most resilient and strong-willed. We have weathered all the storms that came our way and have demonstrated that we can be a community to be proud of - from our disabled horse rider achieving his goals to a local woman beating breast cancer and becoming an inspiration to others - our community stands together proud! We are confident that 2015 will be better than ever. We, at The Hillcrest Fever, have faced our

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.

All four men were apprehended and then taken to the Alex Police Station along with the firearm and the vehicle that was in use. Among the items that were recovered from the vehicle were stolen cell phones, various bank cards and identity documents. Alex Police Station spokesperson Captain Kholeka Mhlongo confirmed the arrests of the four men and said confirmed that the men were linked to other robbery cases. “The men were linked to 10 other robbery cases where a similar modus operandi was used.

Municipality responds to Manor protesters

April 26, 2018

Enter the 6th Face of KZN Model Search

LETHIWE MAKHANYA >>lethiwe.makhanya@media24.com

SUNDUZI Municipality has made it clear that it will not transfer Manor flats ownership to tenants,it will not reconnect electricity for those residents who have not paid their bills and have not made payment arrangements, and those who have not signed the new lease. This was revealed at the media briefing that was held at the City Hall last Thursday following a protest demonstrated by Manor residents. Residents demanded that the municipality reconnect their electricity that was disconnected due to the lack of payment and that the municipality gives them title deeds to their flats. Phumlani Gumede,who is acting senior manager of Human Settlements within the municipality, said residents are aware of the fact that ownership of flats will never be transferred to them. “Tenants came to City Hall a couple of times and they were briefed that rental stock will not be transferred to them.It is just a perception that people have,that if they have stayed in a place for long enough,the ownership should be transferred to them,” he said. Regarding the money that is owed to the municipality by the tenants, Gumede said they have tried by all means to

We had several meetings with them [tenants] calculating the resolution, but they refused to comply with the municipality, demanding that the flats be transferred to them. It was clear from the beginning that those flats were rental stock and they will remain so.” He said since the protest started

there are some tenants who have come forward to make payment arrangements and also signed their leases.Electricity at these tenants’ homes has since been reconnected. Msunduzi mayor Themba Njilo said they want this problem to be resolved. “We are not being harsh to our people, it is them who do not want to comply with us. We want them to come to us and negotiate about their debt,” he said. The protest has since died down but some of the residents still do not have electricity.

HE KwaZulu-Natal Health Department MEC Sibongiseni Dhlomo has raised concerns after the department established that many people around KwaZulu-Natal are contracting tuberculosis day by day, which leaves the department with a challenge to conduct more awareness campaigns. The department commenced with its third major TB campaign last month and are continuing to conduct more campaigns around KwaZulu-Natal. MEC Dhlomo said: “Although KwaZulu-Natal has made significant progress in improving the rate of curing people who have TB, there are still far too many new TB infections, and too many people who are unknowingly living with the disease. We have now decided that the fight against TB is bigger than one MEC, one department, or one government. It needs all of us. “ Therefore, the clarion call by His Majesty King Goodwill Zwelithini that all traditional leaders, traditional healers and priests should get involved in the fight to curb the spread of TB is an extremely important one. TB, from time immemorial, has been killing people. And it continues to do so. “In KZN, the figures are enormous. We are told that if you have 250 new TB infections per 100 000 people, that is considered by the WHO as an epidemic. We in this province are four to five times more. We are sitting with up to 800 new TB infections. Fever journalist Nosipho Mkhize spoke to a few people on the streets to hear their views on whether TB is still a problem in some communities. Nomusa Mavundla said: “I think TB is still a problem when it comes to preventing it from being passed from one person to the next because a lot of people don’t seek for help in time.” Zinhle Ndokweni said: “TB can be prevented from

spreading if people practised hygiene like coughing with your mouth covered and washing your hands before touching food. I really hate it when people don’t want to open their windows for fresh air when I’m taking a taxi, because what if someone coughs? This puts a high risk of us contracting the disease.” The founder of Enhlanhleni Isibani Sezwe NGO in KwaDabeka Pastor Ntshangase said TB has always been a major issue in the community. “A lot of people in my organisation have been affected by TB and not only TB but HIV as well. They live in appalling conditions where hygiene is not practised at all which increases the risk of more people being infected. We try our best to conduct awareness campaigns and educate people about TB.” HOW DO PEOPLE GET TB? The disease is passed on from person to person. When a person who has TB coughs, sneezes or spits, germs are spread into the air from where they can be breathed in. Fortunately not all those infected contract TB, in most cases the germs are sealed off in the body and they do not multiply. However, if the body’s defences can no longer control the germs, they become active and the person gets TB. WHO IS AT RISK? • Close contacts of TB patients • Children under five years old • Persons with diseases like diabetes • HIV positive persons with lowered immune systems • Persons who take excessive alcohol and drug addicts • Persons with poor nutrition and lack of food • Persons suffering from stress • Persons living in poorly ventilated, over-crowded rooms WHAT ARE THE SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF TB? • A cough for longer than two weeks • Chest pains • Tiredness and weakness of the body • Loss of appetite and weight • Night sweats, even when it is cold • Coughing up blood HOW CAN TB BE PREVENTED? • People on TB medication must complete their treatment, this prevents the spread of TB. • Cover your mouth and nose with tissue paper or your hands when coughing or sneezing. Do not cough, sneeze or spit on other people. Do not let other people cough, sneeze or spit on you. • Wash hands with soap and water. • Immunise of all babies at a clinic within a year of birth. • Keep your body healthy by eating balanced meals consisting of food like meat, fish, eggs, beans, mills, amasi, brown bread, maize meal, vegetables and fruits. • Alcohol should be avoided because it lowers the body’s resistance to sickness and affects the treatment. • Smoking causes further damage to the lungs and can also cause heart disease and lung cancer. • Keep your window open in your home — fresh air blows the TB germs away and sunshine kills the TB germs • Keep your body healthy by exercising TB IN THE WORKPLACE: Once a person has been on TB treatment for two weeks, they are not infectious. Persons with TB can continue to work. TB treatment can be given by a treatment supporter at work.

HE South African National Blood Service (SANBS) held their annual Midlands Donor for Life Awards thanking and awarding all those who have stayed committed to donating blood and helping save lives, every year. Held at the conference centre in the Golden Horse Casino, the event was well attended and hosted by Mzokhana Gumede from radio station, Gagasi FM. Those in attendance were addressed by the Zone Donor Manager, Phelelani Mkhize who said that for many of the staff these events were the only time for them to mingle with the generous donors. “The main reason for this event is for us to say thank you for the contributions that you make. We would like to express our gratitude and have made possible this small dinner as a token of our appreciation

to you all,” said Mkhize. Mkhize said that their main goal for the year of 2018 was to increase blood donations by 8% and encouraged those who have stopped donating to start again. “We have collected over 1060 units in our last campaign in KwaZulu-Natal and are very proud of this, having come out second across South Africa just behind Gauteng,” said Mkhize. Wanting to engage with the youth more in order to increase blood donations, Mkhize spoke of how the SANBS would like to encourage the youth to apply for positions within the organisation. “We are not looking at colour, we just want individuals with the right mindset to apply for jobs that we have available in order to service our nation,” said Mkhize. Many donors were awarded for their contributions with various categories being made for the different amounts of blood donated from over 50 units right up to 225 units.

Maths academy established in Imbali LETHIWE MAKHANYA >>lethiwe.makhanya@media24.com

NON-PROFIT organisation called Khanya Bha Academy for Mathematics is determined to help pupils who struggle with the subject so that they can excel when they reach Grade 12 and be able to chose careers that are in demand. This organisation, which consists of retired and present maths teachers, accommodates Grade 7 to Grade 10 pupils. The lessons are free and are held on Saturdays at the Technical Vocational Education and Technology (TVET) College Plessislaer Campus from 8 am to 11 am. The academy came into operation in March last year and has 77 pupils.

Their target is to have at least 100 pupils. Rare Msomi, who is a retired teacher and a member of Khanya Bha Academy for Mathematics, told Echo that they decided to start the academy after noticing that most pupils do not get support when it comes to maths. He said this subject is a problem and it makes pupils end up not being able to choose careers that are on demand. “We want to draw the light in the subject and show pupils that maths is not really a difficult subject as people think. We start on Grade 7 because we want to prepare them so that when they get to Grade 10 they know which subjects to choose. “We believe that in order for pupils to do well especially when they get to matric , you have to start them

age pupils to choose maths so that they will not be limited in their careers. We are here to help them with this subject,” he said. The academy has seven teachers

at the moment,and is also looking for other organisations to work with.Parents who would like their children to join can contact Mabongi Mtshali at 081 536 9168.

Distinctions celebrated at Thornhill College FRIDAY, April 20 was an important and memorable day at Thornhill Christian College’s academic calendar as 25 pupils, who scored five distinctions and above, were celebrated amidst pomp and fun. On this day, Mandisa Maphanga, a Grade 9 girl, was the top achiever with nine distinctions and was awarded R5 000 towards her tuition fees as recognition of her hard work and a statement by the school that it encourages pupils to excel. It was a day set aside by management and staff of the institution to come together and celebrate academic excellence. It was a day meant to pay homage to pupils who diligently committed their efforts towards achieving outstanding results in the March examinations. Top achievers had their efforts recognised and also received certificates for scoring distinctions in various subjects offered at the institution.

The event created an opportunity for pupils to examine themselves and see where they need to improve on. The day began with the normal opening procedures led by programme director Mr Zondi. An opening prayer by Miss Vidima set the tone of the day. Mr Zhanda welcomed the pupils, members of staff and parents gathered for the occasion Parents were reasonably represented. The principal, Mr Charamba, talked about

the purpose of the day and emphasised excellence. In his keynote address to pupils and parents, the board chairperson, Professor Makondo, said: “We are here today to put it on record that we want our students to do well in whatever they do.” Makondo explained how recipients of the awards were selected. He stressed that academic excellence is the institution’s cherished goal. He emphasised that the school does not celebrate mediocrity, hence the decision to benchmark 50% as the minimum pass mark at Thornhill Christian College.

This is meant to ensure pupils purposefully and diligently commit themselves to their work. Makondo also spoke strongly against a few pupils bend on tarnishing the image of the institution. He told parents that disciplined pupils are ones who excel in their work and they need to be protected from those who seem directionless. The presentation of certificates to top achievers who bagged distinctions in various subjects started with Grade 12 pupils and cascaded to Grade RR. There was joy and celebration when the Makondo presented certificates to recipients. The parents whose children walked away with awards could not hide their joy and excitement. Indeed it was a day to celebrate and the school joined them in congratulating the hard workers of Thornhill Christian College. Mandisa stole the show on the day with nine distinctions.

In paying homage to Mandisa, Makondo said the top achiever epitomises the college’s dream of excellence in everything that she does as part of her academic life at the institution. Mandisa was awarded a R5000 worth bursary and appointed a prefect in recognition of her exemplary conduct. She became an instant darling to all present for the occasion. Her outstanding performance should definitely incite the sense of hard work in other pupils. All that started well ended well on Awards Day at Thornhill Christian College. The clear message sent to all was, “excellence and nothing else.” Thornhill Christian College is now registering pupils for 2019. The institution has now opened a boarding facility and parents present pledged to continue to support the school for the good work it is doing in changing the lives of the pupils. — Supplied

Blame the NPA ... >>Don’t blame AfriForum for shambolic Julius Malema corruption case ADRIAAN BASSON THE chaotic way in which the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) has handled the prosecution of EFF leader Julius Malema has accentuated the urgent need for intervention at the authority. The NPA has opened itself up to criticism from Malema and AfriForum’s private prosecutions unit, led by former prosecutor Gerrie Nel, for dragging its feet since August 2015, when the Limpopo High Court struck the matter off the roll. The NPA has now handed AfriForum a political victory by placing itself in a position where it is forced to give a firm commitment that it will decide about recharging Malema in August. Malema has predictably called AfriForum’s move racist.

None of this would have been necessary had the NPA done its job. To recap: City Press revealed in 2011 that Malema’s Ratanang Family Trust, named after his son, was a shareholder in the tender-rich OnPoint Engineering, a company run by Malema’s engineer friend Lesiba Gwangwa. At the time, Malema was the ANC Youth League leader and a powerful power broker in his home province of Limpopo. On-Point Engineering won a number of government tenders, mainly a R52 million contract to set up a “project management unit” in the provincial roads and transport department. The state alleges that Malema benefite-d financially from the tender, through his trust, and bought a farm and a Mercedes-Benz with the

money. Malema and his co-accused first appeared in court in 2013. The case was postponed several times, during which some of the accused were removed from the case. At the final appearance in Polokwane before Judge George Mothle in August 2015, Malema and Gwangwa appeared without the third accused, On-Point director Kagiso Dichabe. When the NPA applied for a further postponement, because of Dichabe’s ill health, Mothle declined and struck the matter off the court roll — temporary legal relief. During the same appearance, Malema unsuccessfully applied to be tried separately to prevent further delays. The EFF leader wanted to “clear his name” and “prevent the further delay of justice”. Every accused has

the constitutional right to a fair trial within a reasonable period of time. Unlike former president Jacob Zuma, Malema has not attempted to delay his trial through legal shenanigans. He has consistently asked the NPA to expedite his hearing. By August, it would have taken the NPA another three years to decide whether to reinstate the charges. Malema has denied receiving bribes through his family trust and has alleged that the NPA, through its former acting head Nomgcobo Jiba in cahoots with former Justice minister Jeff Radebe, took a political decision to charge him to deter his political ambitions. Malema, through his lawyers, will probably put up this argument if and when his trial starts. Understandably, Malema would not want to be an accused in a corruption trial when he and his party are on the campaign trail for the 2019 general election. This is a make-or-break election for the EFF, one which will show if the party can lift itself beyond the seven percent support mark. Apart from racial rhetoric and radical land expropriation, anti-corruption has been a pillar of the

EFF’s mantra since its inception. The party played a pivotal role in exposing Zuma’s complicity in the Nkandla scandal and keeping him accountable. Malema can hardly be seen as trying to dodge corruption allegations against him when he champions clean governance as part of the EFF’s manifesto. Instead of blaming AfriForum — opportunistic as its move may be — Malema should direct his wrath at advocate Shaun Abrahams and the NPA for failing to make a decision about his prosecution for almost three years. As for Abrahams, his days are probably numbered. Ramaphosa is awaiting the judgment by the Constitutional Court on the appointment of a prosecutions boss before he replaces Abrahams, as the North Gauteng High Court directed him to do. The NPA needs a strong, principled lawyer to restore its image as a prosecutor without fear or favour. It is embarrassing that the NPA had to be moved by an opportunistic lobby group to do its job in the Malema case. • Adriaan Basson is editor of News24.

Zuma’s love life is the best news for Ramaphosa FERIAL HAFFAJEE FORMER president Jacob Zuma has always been both a lover and a fighter. His charming style and allure to people are almost as well known as his revolutionary stripes. This characteristic is at least one of the factors which kept him in power for over a decade even as he dragged his country through nine scandals. Zuma loves to love. He has four wives and news last Friday revealed that he is about to take a fifth — Nonkanyiso Conco (24), with whom he last week had a baby at 76 years old. If you’re calculating, it’s a 52-year age gap and the little one is his 24th child. This is the best possible news for President Cyril Ramaphosa who reportedly faced the threat of a scalded Zuma mobilising behind disaffected ANC members in KwaZulu-Natal. But now it seems that Zuma has chosen to use his retirement to reignite a plan to marry more regularly. When he first became president, Zuma made a joyful biennial marriage part of his festivities, along with the annual Christmas party and chess tournament, to which he would treat his neighbours in the surrounds of Nkandla. In his first years in office, he married Thobeka Madiba and Gloria Ngema, and then the ANC put a stop to it. At his wedding to Ngema, Zuma told his new bride: “Don’t close the door that you found open ...” and he is clearly now free to exercise his options. A member of the ANC’s former leadership told me that the women in the party had approached Zuma and told him that his polygamous lifestyle was accepted as a traditional right, but if the first family ex-

panded annually it would impact on the party’s identity as a modern organisation that supports gender rights. Zuma’s polygamy and peccadillos were threatening to define his presidency, they warned. In 2010, Zuma was forced by his party to apologise to the nation for unpresidential behaviour after he fathered his 20th child with Sonono Khoza, the daughter of his friend and soccer boss Irvin Khoza. He was 29 years older than Khoza, whom he never married. So, the president stopped the wedded bliss and reportedly left a Swazi princess, Sebentile Dlamini, stranded after he proposed to her family in 2002. But, unshackled from the chains of office, the former president is now free to be the lover he always was. The nation has been atwitter with news that Zuma may be fomenting an uprising in KwaZulu-Natal. It’s well known that he did not leave office a happy chap — in fact, the former president was virtually dragged kicking and screaming the words: “But what I have I done?”, from Mahlamba Ndlopfu, the presidential estate in Pretoria. Reports have suggested that Zuma plans to bolster a provincial opposition force against Ramaphosa. This could go two ways: either a new party is formed to take on the governing ANC in KwaZulu-Natal, or provincial barons, led by Zuma, would cause enough trouble to secure a national general council where a recall of Ramaphosa would be attempted. So to hear that Zuma’s lover has won out over his fighter is the best possible news for Ramaphosa. — HuffPost SA. • Ferial Haffajee, editor-at-large, HuffPost South Africa.

search states that by 2020, millennials will form 50% of the global workforce. “The millennial-worker movement forms part of normal evolutionary shifts of society — where as one generation moves out of the workplace another moves in,” adds Baron-Williamson. “However, the fast-paced growth of this movement has largely been spurred by the urgency of each wave of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. “As markets increasingly move into a more digital era, there is a multitude of diverse and digital technologies that organisations are looking to adapt to, and adopt. And what has become clear is that as organisations look to roll out their own digital transformation strategies, having a strong digitally inclined workforce is key to succeeding and remaining competitive.” Millennials have grown up with technology at their fingertips and being exposed to all things connected. Their diverse understanding of the digital realm and innovative way of thinking is a unique opportunity that organisations can leverage and therefore need to capitalise on. However, the research also noted that millennials tend to be uncomfortable with rigid corporate struc-

tures. Baron-Williamson indicates that where organisations are panicked over potentially losing talent, many are either ignoring or adjusting their HR policies and structures to accommodate this new generation worker. This in effect increases risks to the organisation associated with hiring an inappropriate candidate. “HR processes, no matter which generation, should remain stringent. Aspects such as background screening checks must be incorporated. In fact, the need to assess whether a candidate is right for the organisation and the job available is more prevalent than ever, especially in an economy where job opportunities are not plentiful,” says Baron-Williamson. South Africa’s unemployment rate remains alarmingly high at 26,7%, which means there is a much larger number of people — across generations — competing for limited available job positions. Desperation and the anxiety experienced when looking for meaningful employment opportunities in a tougher economic environment can unfortunately result in an increase in job-seekers not being truthful about their pro-

fessional, criminal and academic histories. Baron-Williamson suggests that there are a number of other approaches that should be considered and incorporated into an organisations hiring strategy to attract top millennial talent. Examples of these may include, but not be limited to, adopting social media as key tools in recruitment efforts, placing increased focus on culture-fit and that the organisation exuberates a healthy culture, and offering professional development. It’s also important to review on-boarding programmes to ensure these are supported by powerful technology and are in tune with the organisation’s digital transformation strategy. “While millennials do form a key cornerstone of the future business workforce and therefore should be considered when growing a business’ talent team, the HR process in hiring millennials should not change based on this new generation of worker. Conducting comprehensive background checks remains paramount to HR practices, to enable the organisation to make intelligent personnel decisions,” concludes Baron-Williamson. — Supplied.

IT is important to never let anyone in the front door if their identity or reason for the visit has not been verified. Impersonators can pretend to be electricians, telephone repairmen, garden service employees, or even security and police officers. “Impersonators are a problem for many industries, especially in the service sector. There will sadly always be criminals who pretend that they are checking your alarm system, installing your new Wi-Fi network, or fixing a municipal water leak in your garden. They are trying their luck by taking advantage of the public’s good nature,” says Ivan Govender, KwaZuluNatal District Manager for Fidelity ADT. He says it is imperative for homeowners to take certain precautions, to not let their guard down. Employees working on your property should also be fully briefed and warned not to give access to strangers. “If you are expecting contractors or deliveries please ensure you brief your staff ahead of time.” Domestic employees, says Govender, play an integral part in any home security system and it is critical that they are empowered and equipped to look after their own safety, as well as the safety of anyone else on the property. “ ... In the same way that you should share safety tips with your friends and loved ones, you should also share it with anyone that works on your property. Most critically, they need to know how to activate the alarm so that help can be requested in case of an emergency,” said Govender. It is always a good idea to trust your gut and to err on the side of caution, he said. Fidelity ADT Armed Response Officers carry a branded ID card with their name, PSIRA number and a photograph. They also carry a PSIRA card with a photograph, Govender said. “Residents can ask to see these cards, as this will prove they are authentic and not criminals posing as security officers ...” he said. Residents who have queries or want to confirm the identity of Fidelity ADT armed response officers or technicians can contact the Fidelity ADT offices on 086 12 12 100. — Supplied.

Don’t open the door for impersonators

Do’s and don’ts of hiring in the age of millennials UCH has been said over the last few years about the millennial workers entering the workplace and how this generation is going to redefine and reshape the workplace of the future. But, is this getting organisations in a panic over changing their hiring policies and practices? According to Michelle Baron-Williamson, executive of Managed Integrity Evaluation (MIE): “To keep up with the rapidly growing number of millennials entering the workplace, this has caused some organisations to ‘panic’ and try to reshuffle their existing workforce to make space for this millennial worker. Of course, companies should examine ways to leverage this new talent and focus on investing in hiring more skilled millennials to populate their workforce. However, this should not come at the expense of HR practices that are crucial to protecting the organisation — which I believe is happening.” Research from PwC notes that millennials already form 25% of the workforce in the U.S. and account for over half of the population in India. In South Africa, alternative research notes that there are roughly 19,5 million millennials in the country. PwC’s re-

Kicking-off healthy attitudes S

UPERSAVE Foodtown Hyper launched a Big Walk and Interschool Sports Day last Friday. What a fantastic day it was. The first Supersave Foodtown Hyper Interschool Sports Day and Big Walk event, was by all accounts a resounding success. Hundreds of children from six schools took part in this inaugural event, which began with a 2 km walk, followed by a 20-minute fun-filled aerobic session. This led into the main events of the day, a netball and soccer tournament. There are many positive benefits to healthy living, but our attitudes to health as adults are often instilled in us as children. Encouraging our children to practice good health, such as eating properly and getting enough exercise, is to give them a gift that will stay with them for their entire lives. Local community store Supersave Foodtown Hyper in Pietermaritzburg knows this, which is why the owners decided to take a proactive approach to the development of

healthy lifestyles in youngsters at six schools in the area — Nyonithwele Secondary School, Laduma High School, Smero Secondary School, Kwapata Secondary School, Edendale High School and Georgetown High School. These high schools were selected to participate in the event, which started at 8 am on an overcast Friday morning. However, the weather did not dampen anyone’s spirits and the walk began in a festive atmosphere. Around 600 children, accompanied and escorted by teachers, the local Community Police Forum and the South African Police Service, walked from Caluza Stadium to Wadley Stadium in Edendale, Pietermaritzburg. Supersave Foodtown Hyper supplied refreshments to all the walkers at the start and finish of the walk. The rest of day took place at Wadley Stadium, with over 2000 children attending the event. A host of VIPs were also in attendance, including a number of NGOs, Municipality madam speaker Councillor J. Ngubo, Mr M. Ngobese representing the South Afri-

Maphumulo, who is the District Mayor of uMgungundlovu District Municipality and His Worship, the Mayor of Msunduzi Local Municipality Councillor T. Njilo. The SAPS were on hand to ensure the event ran smoothly. “The entire day was planned as a way to promote a healthy lifestyle for our children, to demonstrate that physical activity can be fun and to encourage participation in sports activities at school,” said Suhail Bayat, one of the owners of Supersave Foodtown Hyper. For the main events, all participating schools entered one netball team and one soccer team, which took part in two exciting knockout tournaments during the day. The initial games were decided by a draw. All the players received sponsored netball and soc-

cer kit and kitbags, while lunch and refreshments were supplied for everyone present — the supporters from all the represented schools, the players, headmasters and VIP guests. The soccer and netball tournaments ran from 10 am to 3 pm and the atmosphere was electric as the semi-finals and finals drew closer. Children from each school were cheering on their teams, with floating trophies, prize money and of course the prestige of winning providing extra encouragement. After a highly competitive event, Edendale High School won the netball tournament, with Nyonithwele Secondary School in second place and Smero Secondary School coming third. The soccer tournament was won by Nyonithwele Secondary School, with Kwapata Secondary placed second. Edendale High and Georgetown High tied in third place. Supersave Foodtown Hyper sponsored prizes for the winning teams, as well as for the second and third placed teams. The win-

ning schools in both soccer and netball were awarded a cheque of R10 000, while 2nd place received R5 000 and 3rd place R2 000, to be used for improving the sporting facilities at their respective schools. “We would like to congratulate all the winners, as well as each child that took part in the day. It was a joy to see the fun and excitement experienced by the children and our privilege to be part of this event,” said Bayat. “We have a close-knit relationship with our communities and we believe this is a meaningful way of giving back and making a difference. We also extend a warm thank you to all our VIP guests for sharing this special day with us.” Supersave Foodtown Hyper is a member of Unitrade Management Services, a voluntary trading organisation that provides marketing, financial management, IT, business development and buying power to independent wholesalers and retailers through personal service and strong partnerships. — Supplied.

“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.

Successful weekend for PMB teams BYRONE ATHMAN >>Byrone.Athman@media24.com

IETERMARITZBURG soccer teams Maritzburg Hotspurs and Young Natalians toured Cape Town successfully over the weekend winning both their matches in convincing fashion. Hotspurs began their campaign on Friday scoring two goals in the first four minutes against Western Province Eagles winning the match with an emphatic score-line of 5-1. Goals for Western Province Eagles were scored by Dylan Atson while Nhlakanipho Magcaba (2), Curtis Dos Santos (2) and Royce Billings scored for

the visitors. Natalians also played on Friday in a thrilling encounter which could have gone either way with the score-line reflecting that as Natalians narrowly edged out the Cape Town Titans 6-5. It was a very tense game, with end-to-end action in the 11 goal affair. Goals for Cape Town Titans were scored by James Beziek (2), Charlton Stevens, Ashley Sass and Gresham Stephens while Simphiwe Mgedezi, Tsepo Liphuko (3), Quincy Ngcobo and Roberto Slater scored for the visitors. The last games were played on Saturday with Hotspurs outclassing their opponents and maintaining a solid backline, scoring three goals and not conceding to end the game

3-0. Goals for Maritzburg Hotspurs were scored by Curtis Dos Santos,Royce Billings and Orlin Powell. The final game of the tour provided yet another nail-biter with Natalians again edging out the men from the Cape and holding on for a well-deserved 6-5 win over Cape Town Titans. Hatricks from Renaldo Donnelly and Quincy Ngcobo were enough to see the Pietermaritzburg side maintain a perfect record in Cape Town and ensure that the boys from Pietermaritzburg would be smiling on their way home. Young Natalians sit second with Maritzburg Hotspurs comfortably in third on the overall National Futsal League Season after the weekend’s results.

Balancing the gentleman’s game with honours CRICKET has been described as “the gentleman’s game” for many years, but for a game described so casually, one underestimates the skill required in playing it. Matthew Luksich was recently named Player of the Year as well as the Bowler of the Year for the KwaZulu-Natal Inland Cricket Academy. Luksich who graduated with an IIE’s BCom Finance Degree on April 12, has already begun his journey towards Honours in Strategic Management, balancing this responsibility with his passion for Cricket. Luksich said: “Choosing to study at the IIE’s Varsity College has prov-

en to be the best decision I could have made. “I have been able to enjoy the last three years of uninterrupted study and all the staff have always been a great help in accommodating me and supporting me in my dream of playing representative cricket. “This has helped me to balance my studies with my cricket career.” In an industry where sport stars rarely has something to fall back onto in the case of injury, Luksich has taken it upon himself to pursue both a sports career as well as completing his Honours. — Supplied

JERRY BARNES

JERRY BARNES AS a proud South African, soccer follower, former player and a sports scribe since 1992, I must strongly point out that I’m very disappointed about what happened at Durban’s Moses Mabhida Stadium on Saturday. What happened after the Nedbank Cup semi-final clash between Free State Stars and Kaizer Chiefs was not just a disgrace but a major setback for SA’s soccer, as far as tourism, marketing, sponsorship and publicity are concerned. It’s also going to send a wrong message and create an unfortu-

HE master plan, motivation and braveness displayed by the local PSL outfit Maritzburg United when they beat Mamelodi Sundowns 3-1 during the Nedbank Cup semi-final clash is likely help in their next fixture. The sudden giant killers, popularly known as the Team of Choice, will on Saturday afternoon (3 pm) square up against the lowly-spirited and former SA’s glamour boys Kaizer Chiefs at FNB. Although all the teams were able to test waters during their midweek league matches, but in Chiefs’ camp things are still looking dark and gloomy. The Naturena-based outfit was outsmarted, outmuscled and ousted by less fancied Free State Stars 2-0 during the dramatical Nedbank Cup semi-final at Durban’s Moses Mabhida Stadium last Saturday night. What is also more interesting is that a couple of prominent local coaches are currently and endlessly singing praises for the Pietermaritzburg BODYPARTS, RADIATORS, AUTO GLASS SALE team.Former United coach Ian Palmer said the QUALITY PARTS FOR ALL MAKES INCLUDING TOYOTA, MAZDA, NISSAN, VW, KIA TATA, GWM, HYUNDAI, GEELY Team of Choice management must be congratulated for giving current head coach Fadlu Davids and his entire technical bench a chance to take up the reigns. “That faith alone Solution displayed by the entire Maritzburg United • BONNET FENDERS • MEGUIRE POLISHES management to Da• DOORS AND HOODS • CLIPS, SCREWS, FASTNERS for vids and his team • HEADLIGHTS, INDICATORS PANELS ETC. • TAIL LIGHTS, SPOT LIGHT, FOG LIGHT • DOOR MIRRORS ELECTRIC & MANUAL changed everything, • TAILGATES & WINDOW WINDERS • SPOILERS & BODY KITS motivated all the stake • BUMPERS (FULL RANGE) • WINDSHIELDS, BONNET & LIGHT • RADIATORS, FANS, CONDENSERS holders and means a SHIELDS • LOCKS, HANDLES, KEY LOCK SETS • TONNEAU COVERS • CAR AND TRUCK PAINTS lot.

nate perception of soccer followers in KwaZulu-Natal. Unfortunately, a lot of people from other provinces are likely to see KZN supporters as hooligans of the game. Also, the iconic symbol of the late political heavyweight, Moses Mabhida, has been badly tainted by criminal elements. I must say that during the game, and especially during the criminal hooliganism, it was disappointing to discover that the security personnel and measures were just not enough for the highrisk match. It was also heartbreaking to see that the majority of the safety marshals who were posted around the pitch were absolutely clueless about crowd control, safety and security. On Monday, the PSL chairperson, Dr Irvin Khoza, was on point and man enough to come out and apologise to the nation during the press conference held at the PSL headquarters in Parktown, but as always, the finger will point straight at his organisation, the host club and SAPS. It is also clear that soccer in this country is at risk as our politics and safety and security measures need to be revised. The selling of alcohol at our soccer matches around the country is also a contributing factor in terms of fuelling violence. Please PSL, SAPS, clubs and all other security agencies, wake up.
