HE case of the man who allegedly fatally shot an ANC volunteer at the Lindelani voting station in KwaDukuza on Election Day was postponed until 18 June for further investigation. Before being transported to Durban, Dumisani Nxumalo (28) made a brief appearance at the KwaDakuza Magistrate’s Court on Monday while hundreds of IFP supporters chanted outside, demanding his release. About 100 ANC supporters were also protesting. Police, some in riot gear, formed a barricade between the old political rivals as both lots of supporters hurled insults at one another. ANCmembers called for Nxumalo to be given the maximum sentence and for the victim, Thandi ‘Nuh’ Mhlongo, to be named a martyr for the ANC’s next term of government. Mhlongo was shot at the Lindelani voting station where she was manning an ANC information desk. Nxumalo was arrested the next day in Pongola. Nxumalo’s KwaDukuza appearance - to apply for bail and legal representation - was brief, after which he was transported to the Durban Regional Court. According to IFP Youth League member Ben Masondo, Nxumalo was “wrongly arrested”. “We are here today to demand his release because he did not kill the ANC volunteer. “The police and the ANC know this but the law is being flouted. We know that an ANC member was involved in the shooting and this innocent man is taking the fall. “It is not constitutional and we do not accept it. He must be released and the true killer must be brought to book.” KwaDukuza mayor Ricardo Mthembu, who was present at the court, said transport had been arranged to bus ANC members to Durban to support the “cause of justice”. He urged the community to exercise restraint while justice takes its course and said he was “certain” that the case would bring closure to the bereaved family. Just after the murder, police said initial investigations did not indicate that it was politically motivated. “There is no evidence at this stage to indicate that it’s political. We are

N-FORCE Security arrested a “notorious” chain snatcher who was allegedly involved in several chain snatching cases in the KwaDukuza CBD. Preston ‘Snowy’ Maharaj was arrested after N-Force director Nitesh Arjun says he received several complaints from residents. Arjun formed a task team to interview the victims, who all gave similar descriptions and described similar modus operandi. He said the investigations led him the suspect. “Investigations revealed that Maharaj would be in KwaMashu on one day and then in Chesterville the next. He moved around a lot,” said Arjun. “I offered a reward for information on his whereabouts, which was circulated in the criminal circles in KwaDukuza. We received information that he was in the KwaDukuza taxi rank area on Wednesday, 14 May. However, when we arrived, Maharaj fled. “I received information the next day that he was in the CBD. I also contacted the KwaDukuza SAPS. When I apprehended him, he drew aknife.However,Imanagedtooverpowerhim and arrested him,” said Arjun. KwaDukuza deputy mayor Dolly Govender,whoalsohadherchainrippedoffherneck, in King Shaka Street, identified the suspect. Another victim, Dr Les McDonald, who had his gold chain snatched near the Whitehouse building in Chief Albert Luthuli Street, also positively identified Maharaj. Arjun said investigations also revealed that Maharaj sold the jewellery to three different Nigerian nationals, whose names are known to the Weekly. Meanwhile, one of the nationals, who Maharajsoldthechainsto,openedacaserobbery against Maharaj on Monday. According to police reports, Maharaj contacted the Nigerian national and told him to meet with him in Balcomb Street. Maharaj also said he should come with enough cash because he had an expensive gold chain to sell to him. When they met, Maharaj together with two others robbed him of two cellphones and an undisclosed amount of cash. Maharaj appeared in the KwaDukuza Magistrate’s Court on Monday on nine counts of robbery. He was not asked to plead and was remanded in custody.

Jobs-for-cash accusations in KwaDukuza MERVYN KRISHNA THE jobs-for-cash scandal involving SA Democratic Teachers Union (Sadtu) members, revealed by City Press last month, is also “rife” in KwaDukuza, sources known to the Stanger Weekly say. Sources say Sadtu influences the placement of teachers in promotion posts, so much so that many see Sadtu as an “employment agency”. Speaking on condition of anonymity, a senior KwaDakuza teacher, who has “given up on ever being promoted on merit” said: “It seems that Sadtu is the department in this province.” In a new twist to the scandal, a teacher has claimed that a union official asked for sex in order for her to be promoted to principal. Research published in the Africa Education Review journal revealed that teacher unions “often ignored their role as observers during the shortlisting process, which led to their members being unjustly promoted”. This comes after City Press revealed that top posts, including those of principal and deputy principal, are routinely sold for R30 000 and higher. In at least two cases, principals were violently forced out of their post and threatened with death. They were then replaced with candidates whom they claim paid off union officials to take their jobs. One principal, known to the Stanger Weekly, says he is too scared to have his name published. “When this thing started in the late 1990s, they were demanding around R11 000 for a promotion post. Now it starts at R30 000.” The recently resigned principal, with nearly 20 years’ experience, added: “It’s very prevalent. Sadtu is running the department here because it’s them who say who gets what post.” The Weekly interviewed several principals who had retired in the past two years, each with 35 years’ experience. They suggested that the interview process be outsourced to an employment agency. The former principals told of posts being filled according to participation in union activities rather than expertise. “There seems to be a tendency for teachers to become involved with union work in order to be rewarded with a promotion, while teaching and learning are compromised,” said a principal who retired last year after 42 years. The Weekly also interviewed teachers with more than 20 years’ experience who say they have been overlooked for promotion because of not being unionaffiliated. Both teachers and principals spoke of union members being “aggressive and intimidating” in their attempt to sway the selection process, saying that if the union’s preferred candidates did not make the shortlist, it would lodge a grievance. “There is no fairness — unions influence uneducated parents, and if the SGB is strong you see a lot of grievances,” a senior teacher said. Now that a new promotion bulletin is out, many fear the

IN A NEW TWIST TO THE SCANDAL, A TEACHER HAS CLAIMED THAT A UNION OFFICIAL ASKED FOR SEX IN ORDER FOR HER TO BE PROMOTED TO PRINCIPAL influence of Sadtu observers whom they say intimidate governing bodies into unjustly promoting their members. However, sources say that iLembe District education director TC Vilakazi warned circuit managers at a meeting last week about ensuring fairness of the promotion process in their school, whether the post was head of department, deputy principal or principal. Disgruntled Sadtu members have allegedly lodged grievances after not beingpreferredcandidates,asituation which was eventually only corrected when the education MEC intervened. Another principal said the “unfairness” at the way governing bodies are “misled and bullied is glaring”. The principal said an example was the way a suitably qualified long-serving HOD at Melville Primary School, who was acting principal, was bypassed and a “poorly qualified and less experienced person from the outside was appointed as acting principal”. However, in this case the right person got the post by default, but only because the appointed person died before taking up the post. The teacher quoted instances in KwaDukuza where senior Sadtu officials were placed as principals and deputy principals. “Two of them have since been suspended from Sadtu. “One principal was placed at a
primary school, yet before he took up his post he got promoted a second time to a ‘big’ high school by getting his comrades to demonstrate outside the circuit office, demanding that a letter of appointment be faxed from the head office.” He said the candidate was “only an HOD” and overtook the acting principal of three years who had been a deputy principal for more than 10 years and a teacher for over 30 years. A group of teachers from the school said they now have a poorly qualified principal just because he was a senior Sadtu official. Another teacher remarked that people are no longer employed, they are deployed. Meanwhile, the Weekly has learnt that a commission of inquiry is soon to be appointed to investigate these and other claims, and “heads are set to roll”. Basic Education Minister Angie Motshekga has met with unions to discuss the allegations in the appointment of school positions. “All the unions have agreed to cooperate to root out the alleged practice and take strong action against those found to be involved,” she said in a statement following Friday’s meeting. Attempts to obtain comment from national negotiator of Sadtu Bheki Shandu was unsuccessful at the time of going to press.

Their leader Abubakar Shekau, announced in a video released that he would sell the girls as brides. But what he really means is that he will sell the girls into sexual slavery. “How can this act be justified? I don’t know.

I AM hoping that the title does not deter youfromreadingthiscolumn. It is inspired, in part, by an article published in DoubleX, a blog founded by Hanna Rosin. In this day and age, many of us still do not think the rape of men is serious, or believe that reported cases are true. Case inpointisthefirsttimeIwas told about the rape of a local man (and indeed every other time I heard it from other people) it was presented as a joke. This man had hitched a ride in a car occupied by four “normal looking” women who drove past his destination and drove him, at gunpoint, to an open field in an undisclosed location. The man says he wasthenplacedonatowelonwhich he was repeatedly raped for over 10 hours. The way it was reported in the news was, while not being a direct mockery, as something astonishing, an anomaly, and this I feel overshadowed the true gist of the story — a human being was raped. Why do people find it “unusual” when men get raped? I could even say that some find such stories

The story of a raped man Sibusiso Biyela
@astrosibs
unbelievable and there’s a sense of subliminal bullshitting in many of the stories. For example, the victim of the Gingindlovu rape was and still is being subjected to mockery and is accused of lying, because “it is impossible for a man to be raped”. I think it all boils down to assumptions regarding male sexuality such as “if he is erect during the encounter, then he must have
wanted to have sex” or “he must have enjoyed it because men are like that with sex”. In arguing against abortion for rape victims in the United States, Missouri Republican Todd Akin said in August 2012 that a woman cannot get pregnant from legitimate rape. This meant that a woman who fell pregnant as a result of rape was not “legitimately” raped. It is a stupid statement that showed an even uglier underlying truth in society. Our assumptions when it comes to sexual crimes are severely flawed and this has a knock-on effect of how we view vic-
tims and offenders and we sometimes switch their roles in our minds. But how can we define rape perpetrated on men? Can we qualify rape as a woman forcefully causing penetration? Is there a rape kit for men, and what proof does a man have to present in court? Not many South African studies on the rape of men have been conducted and even less are publicised. A survey printed in 2008 in the BioMed Central’s International Journal for Equity in Health showed that “boys were most frequently assaulted by adult women, followed closely by schoolchildren”.

South Africa again stands out in the world for our definition of rape as a sexual crime. Rape as definedbytheCriminalLaw(Sexual Offences and Related Matters) Amendment Act, 2007 (Act No. 32 of 2007) is: “Any person (“A”) who unlawfully and intentionally commits an act of sexual penetration with a complainant (“B”), without the consent of B, is guilty of the offence of rape”, and this is not at all gender-based, as opposed to many other countries’ definitions. Now that our judicial system is gender-blind to sexual crimes, it is (when executed correctly) arguably the best in the world. But it is as good as the worst unless we change our mind-set on whatconstitutesrape,regardless of whether it is a man or a woman who is raped. Latest reports indicate that the Gingindlovu man has quit his job and left the area. “I couldn’t deal with some of the remarks. Some people were saying I wasn’t man enough, others accused me of lying,” he was quoted as saying.

WEEKLY in your home, you will need to opt for a lounge suite that offers good back support. Or if you have a large family, you will need to consider buying a large lounge suite that will fit everybody.Ifyouhavesmallkidsontheother hand, you will need to consider buying a lounge suite that offers easy maintenance, such as faux leather or suede for example. Quality though craftsmanship: When looking for lounge suites, it is important to inspect the suite’s frame. Wooden frames are far better thanplasticormetalframesforexample. Also, be sure to ask the salesperson about the suite’s joinery – glue alone is not strong enough – the joints should also be connected with screws, dowels or wooden corner blocks. Quality materials: Consider the wood, upholstery and foam. High-density foam will last and keep its shape for longer. Leather, wool, linen and certain synthetics are all good quality, but not all low care. Leather and wool are durable, but pricey. Also – woven patterns tend to be more durable than printed upholstery. Live the lifestyle: Envision the furniture as part of your life. Ask yourself whether it will fit in with your lifestyle? Consider colour, material, durability. If kids and animals call the shots in your home, then upholstery in darker colours is advisable. Also, consider what kind of upholstery you will choose – will it be washable upholstery, such as synthetics; or natural fabric treated with a stain-resistant coat; or PVC leatherlook fabrics, which will look good for longer; or a gorgeously delicate fabric, such as silk. Sleep on it: Visit your favourite furniture store a few times and consider the pros, cons and practicalities of the furniture that interests you. Once you have narrowed your search down to about three lounge suites, wait another day before purchasing, since it is easy to be influenced by mood swings.

splash out on something really special, be daring and go for a dramatic look with bold patterns or a bright colour. Rather save a bit longer so that you can get the sofa that you love. Think of it this way - in a year’s time, the extra R500 will be forgotten, but the sofa will still be in your lounge. Comfort is king: You have to sit in a sofa to know whether it is comfortable or not. Be sure to consider all the people who will be using the lounge suite – for example, if there are older people living

How to pimp your bathroom
FEATURES
IT is never too late to give your bathroom a facelift. Karen Kohler, brand manager of soaprangeVinolia,saysthatthebathroom is the easiest room in the house to refresh. She recommends five quick and easy steps to rejuvenating your
stress-free haven. • Colour trend: Radiant Orchid is the 2014 pantone colour of the year so adding items, including candles, towels and rugs in this rich colour add a quick touch of panache. • Non-conventional furnishings: a tea
stand is a perfect addition for storing your cleanser, foam bath and soaps. • Stylish necessities: add your favourite bar of soap on a beautiful soap dish for a statement piece. The colour and fragrance of the bar of soap will add to the ambiance of the bathroom.
• Interesting accessories: a range of glass bottles with individual flowers or coloured foam bath adds an eyecatching element. • Relaxing additions: a portable speaker so that you can plug in your iPod and listen to music while unwinding.
Paint a ‘light effect’ A HUMDRUM kitchen hub is pushed into the 21st century with a quirky paint effect that uses trompe l’oeil and trendy colour-blocking.

Paint tip: If you’re a DIY painting fiend, it’s worth investing in a canvas drop cloth. It’s durable, rip- and puncture-resistant and absorbs paint drips – unlike plastic drop sheets that can be slippery when wet. - Plascon.
Time needed: Full day Get the look Step 1 Darken the room or switch off the light at night. Ask an aid to aim a torch downwards from the position of your overhead light. Step 2 Trace the outlines of the spotlight with your laser level beam – including the outlines of the light that falls across the furniture – then mask off the outside edges of the spotlight. Step 3 Use the Hamilton’s polypile roller and paintbrush to fill in the spotlight beam shape with two coats

10 Clever décor tricks HOW to use paint, structure, storage space, light and texture to reveal your home’s true beauty is easy. • Hide it away A TV and other electronic equipment should preferably not be the focal point in a room. Build a cupboard with space for the TV and other sound equipment so that these items can be hidden behind closed doors when necessary. • Keep it simple Simplicity is a designer’s greatest secret. Avoid too many frills around windows – if you decorate them in a simple, uniform way, the room seems bigger and less busy. Another design trick is to choose curtains, blinds or shutters in the same colour as – or slightly darker than – the walls — this creates a feeling of space. • Create space You can be creative with paint. Walls and floors in light colours or white create an illusion of light and space. If you want the room to appear wider, paint the ceiling in a lighter colour than the walls. Remember, though, that white can appear cold and clinical. Vary it with shades that tend towards cream and combine with textures such as wood and cane. A neutral colour scheme is like a blank canvas for your décor, which you can easily alter with soft furnishings. Structural ideas • Break open These days it’s so common to break down walls that it can scarcely be listed as a design secret — rather, it is a design trick. A house can look completely different – and be more cosy and sociable – after a few walls have been removed.Thisisalsoacleverwaytouseproblematic spaces to your advantage — break down the walls and incorporate the space into an existing room as rooms that flow into each other are sociable. Windows in different walls
create better air circulation and this room is much cooler as a result. • Play with height Ceilings of different heights, and structural details such as ceiling beams, create variety in an open-plan living area. Light and storage space • Good planning If there are two things that make an immediatedesignimpression,theyarewell-planned lighting and storage space. Adjustable wall lamps (try Weylandts or Eurolux) are not only useful but also save space on bedside tables. Drawers that form part of the headboard look neat and are practical at the same time. • Lights and blinds The best lighting design trick is to position a light where it is needed rather than in the centre of the ceiling. Horizontal blinds enable you to control the amount of natural light in a room. When the blinds above are half open, they create an interesting play of light and shadow. The greatest advantage, however, is that they allow air in while keeping sunlight out. • Natural light Natural light has a great effect on how people experience a living area – it creates a feeling of space by allowing an element of the outside world indoors. When building a new house or renovatinganoldone,uselargedoorsandwindows that allow light to stream in and people to move around easily. If you want to take it a step further, ensure that your room has more than one light source. This not only improves the light quality but also the circulation of air. Entertainment area • Functional and aesthetic If you want to create an outdoor entertainment area it’s important to achieve a balance between practical finishes and those that look attractive. • Comfort first A cosy, well-designed outdoor entertainment area is not only a great space in which to relax, but it can also be a bonus that impresses prospective buyers when you decide to sell. Choose furniture for your entertainment area with great care and spoil yourself with a comfortable lounger.

SUMMER League champions, Stanger Dolphins I suffered a shock 9-7 (11-7) defeat against arch-rivals Umhlali I in the opening fixture of the Dolphin Coast Squash First Division League played at the Umhlali squash courts on Thursday night. Srini Murugan, playing at four gave the visitors (Dolphins) a perfect start after beating Nolan Vernon 3-1. Shane Govindasamy produced a sterling performance to outwit Basil Sarafidis (3-2) in a marathon 5-setter humdinger.

Meanwhile, Darnall got off to a shocker after
slumping to a humiliating 12-2 (14-2) at the hands of Umhlali II in an away fixture on Thursday night. Bjorn Rencken, making his debut for Darnall battled against veteran squash campaigner, Peter Smorfitt before bowing out in straight sets (11-5; 11-6; 11-4). The former Dolphins skipper, Yashin Tewary who joined Darnall at the start of the 2014 Summer League relished the opportunity of being granted the reins as skipper of Darnall for the Winter League. Terence Maidman raced to a 2-0 lead after winning the first two sets comfortably (11-4; 11-7). Trailing 0-2, Tewary rallied back gamely winning the next two sets (11-8; 11-6) to level the scores at 2-2 and push the game into a third and decisive set. The final set was fiercely contested with the scores locked at 9-9. Tewary failed to take advantage of match-point at 11-10 (to boast a first Winter League victory for more than two years) and paid the price after going down 12-14.

Siyaya kicked-off their campaign with a hard fought 1-0 win against the powerhouse of Mandeni, Real Chappies, thanks to a brilliant goal by their talisman striker, Nqobani Mhlongo. Nkobongo got off to a disappointing start after sharing the spoils with Eyethu in a dull, drab, goalless draw. They needed to get back on the winning trail and opted for four strikers in their clash against Siyaya. Man-of-the-match Mhlongo put Siyaya ahead in the 15th minute.

Midway into the firsthalf,Siyaya suffered a huge blow after their first choice goal-keeper, Zakhele Ntineza was injured in a robust tackle with the lanky Nkobongo striker and had to be replaced with Thembinkosi Zulu. He (Zulu) proved to be a valuable asset, making some brilliant saves and a match-winning one in the dying minutes of the game to deny Nkobongo a goal (sending them virtually crashing out of the tournament). Real Chappies were blown out of the competition after slumping to a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Eyethu. Having secured maximum points (six) with two wins from two matches, Siyaya approached their match against Eyethu cautiously. The 1-1 draw was enough to see Siyaya finish at the top of pool A to secure a semi-final berth. Eyethu finished
