Happy Diwali to all >> May the light of Diwali bring peace, prosperity, harmony THE meanings of Diwali, its symbols and rituals, and the rea sons for celebration are innumerable. Diwali celebrates Lord Rama’s glorious and longawaited return to his kingdom of Ayodhya after his 14 long years of exile in the forests. It commemorates Lord Krishna’s victory over the demon Narakaasura who had kidnapped and terror ised the gopis of Vrindavan. When the evil Naraka was finally killed by Bhagwan Krishna and Satyabhrama, he begged piti fully for mercy, thus, upon his entreaties, it was declared that this day of his death would be celebrated with great joy and festivity. It is also celebrated as the day Bhagwan Vishnu married Maha Lakshmi. Diwali is also associated with the story of the fall of Bali a demon king who was conquered by Lord Vishnu. Lord Vishnu appeared to the demon king Bali in the form of a dwarf and requested only three steps of land. The evil and egotistic Bali granted the drawf’s meager request of only three feet. Suddenly, Lord Vishnu took on His grand size and placed one foot on the Earth, another on the Heavens and His third foot on the head of the evil Bali. In general, Diwali signifies the triumph of good over evil, of righteousness over treachery, of truth over falsehood, and of light over darkness. Siblings Kerina and Priyen Moodley join the editor, management and staff of the Stanger Weekly in wishing Hin du advertisers and readers a happy Diwali. May the divine light of this occasion bring peace, prosperity, happiness and harmony to you and yours. PHOTO: SUPPLIED

T the launch of the Afrisun KZN Community Development Trust Educational Outreach Tour at Enkukwini Primary in Groutville on Thursday 16 October, a cheque for R500 000 was handed over.

Thisisthesecondconsecutiveyear the trust has supported the KZN Science Centre which, since 2002, has focused on providing experiential learning in science, technology, engineering and mathematics at under-resourced schools in KZN. Enkukwini Primary principal David Khuzwayo said he was ecstatic to have such a wonderful step forward in education take place at his school. “In these rural areas it is not often we receive such prestige.

iLembe Diwali hamper handover

End to taxi conflict? WAZULUNATAL Premier Senzo Mchunu has signed a working agreement involving the pro vincial government, taxi associations and the Private Security Industry Regulatory Authority (Psira) in KwaDukuza in an effort to end taxi violence in the area. The meeting was convened by the premier to deal with ongoing taxi violence involving Mandeni, Maphu mulo, KwaDukuza and Dolphin Coast Taxi Associa tions. During the last incident passengers and passers by were injured when there was an exchange of gunfire between the KwaDukuza and Maphumulo associa tions. Mchunu said a few “triggerhappy and stubborn elements” responsible for instability in the taxi indus try must be isolated. He also warned against further disregard of state authority. In terms of the agreement, all parties have agreed to work together to ensure unhindered law enforce ment. The associations have employed security compa niesthathavealsobeenblamedforfuellingtaxirelat ed violence. According to Mchunu more than 42 cases of mur der, attempted murder and unlawful possession of firearms were being investigated by the police.

032 946 2711

“This province, not long ago emerged from a very difficult and devastating period of low intensity politi callymotivated warfare. “We are all aware of the huge amounts of sorrow, grief, loss, displacements and several other horrors this violence brought to the citizens of this province.” He said that they do not want to see a return to that state of lawlessness which saw the loss of mostly innocent lives. Mchunu said Transport, Community Safety and Li aisonMECWilliesMchunuhadbeenbriefinghisexecu tive council about problems confronting the taxi in dustry in iLembe and other parts of the province. “These were further discussed in the executive council lekgotla in August in Durban. During this lek gotla we all agreed that an urgent intervention was needed to ensure a longlasting peace and stability in the industry. “What is more distressing is that many leaders in iLembe district have decided to stay out of the conflict out of fear and concern for their own safety. This indi cates the seriousness and importance of the meeting of the KZN government, leadership of municipalities, taxi associations, political parties and the security in dustry.” Mchunu emphasised the importance for all stake holders within the taxi industry to realise that they “cannot wish one another away”.

THEiLembeDistrictMunicipality,throughits specialprojectsdepartmentundertheCorporate Governance Directorate, handed over Diwali hampers to temples in and around KwaDukuza over the weekend. Executive committee member Amitha Badul visited some of the temples to officially hand over the hampers.

Some temples including the Nonoti Temple, New Guelderland Temple, RA Moodley Temple, Mandeni Temple and Sri Samanathan Temple. Temples visited include the Shri Durga Temple, Siva Temple, Gledhow Emperumal Temple, Darnall Temple, Nonoti Temple, Shakaskraal Temple and the Kranskloof Temple.

Dumisane gets a new leg

>> After having a man with no leg to a leg with no man, all ends well SHANNON HOPKINS

DISABLED man, Dumisane Buthelezi, is finally back on his feet thanks to Ballito residents. Buthelezi went missing a few weeks ago as reported in local media a few weeks ago. Fortunately Cheryl Lancellas, who had taken it upon herself to help him, managed to find him via his mother in Jozini. Lancellas enlisted the assistance of local prosthetics expert Sean Adams, and Buthelezi’s new leg was placed last week. “Within 10 minutes Dumisane was walking hands free on his new basic prosthetic limb. This will enable him to earn a living and move around a lot easier,” said Lancellas. Buthelezi, who now lives with his brother in Stanger, was involved in a taxi accident in

March this year and lost his lower leg. “Hewastryingtohobblearoundonabroken pair of crutches which were cutting into and damaging his hands. “I felt sympathetic and decided to try and get this young man a new leg,” said Lancellas. She had put her desire to help Buthelezi on Facebook and local sites and received a great response. Adams offered his expertise for free. They just needed to raise funds for the limb. After going for a consultation, fitting, and a fund-raising effort that yielded R7 500, Adams managed to get major discounts. Adams had also offered to employ Buthelezi and teach him how to manufacture fittings. ThiswillbediscussedfurtherwhenButhelezi goes for ‘tweaking’ this week.

Yes, but no one was around during the big bang one makes a claim on how nature works, then we can test it and prove it wrong or right and I claimed that anything outside this “testability” perimeter is therefore “unscientific” and “supernatural”. A friend of mine then asked me about the big bang theory and how it is accepted astheoriginoftheuniverse,beinganevent that occurred only once, if it indeed did oc cur. He said: “We can’t conduct an experi ment in the lab where we see the big bang again.” He also listed other things rendered “unscientific” by my testability assertion, such as multiverses and black holes (those massive stars that are so hefty not even light can escape their gravity). Well, the universe acts in mysterious ways but we can find generalisations from observing how it works, like noticing how objects fall the same way every time you drop them. Scientists then formulate mathematical explanations that need to satisfy these generalisations and once they are up to par, we test them on nature. And if they pass these tests, we call them

Sibusiso Biyela

@astrosibs

O one was around during the big bang, no one has ever seen a star’s life cycle from birth to cataclysmic death, and we can’t put these things in the lab to test them, so where do scientists get the audacity to claim that these things happened and are happening? A few weeks ago I wrote a column where I put the discipline of science within the confines of testability. I said that when

“laws of nature”. Now, each of these remains “true” until a more efficient explanation comes along. In other words, we use Ockham’s razor, i.e. we cut the rubbish. Edwin Hubble in 1929 observed that galaxies seem to be moving away from each other, as if the space between them were expanding. This changed the static view of the universe accepted at the time. Around the same time, Georges Lemaitre theorised that if the universe is expanding it means if you extrapolate backwards it must have existed in one point in space, thus the big bang theory was born (though it was not called that at the time). It became popular among the scientific fraternity because it was the simplest ex planation for the origins of an expanding universe amid other explanations that were much less elegant. Butwestillneededto “prove”thetheo ry by finding evidence for it in nature. Obvi ously we couldn’t use the same physical phenomenon that gave birth to it to prove

it so we turned to mathematics and the mathematical solutions resulted in testa ble (observable) physical phenomena. Oneofthesewasthecosmicmicrowave background (CMB) which heralded indi rect evidence for the big bang as it was found completely independently in 1964. At the moment there are scientists looking to disprove the big bang theory by finding phenomena not predicted by or against the theory and until that happens, we ac cept it as the origin of the universe, and all major theories go through this baptism of fire all the time. “But we can’t test it in the lab,” he said. Well, astrophysicists almost never get to touch or experiment on their specimens, but they can construct good enough theo ries to explain phenomena from little more than star shine and use those to predict otherphenomenawhich.whenfoundtobe valid, are then accepted as true until Ock ham comes in. What of multiverses and black holes? Well,theideaofmultiversestheorisesthat

OPINION

there are other universes existing outside of ours and this crazy idea came from the observation that some subatomic parti cles (which operate on a completely differ ent set of laws called Quantum Theory) can exist in two places at once and even disappear here and appear somewhere else. At the moment, the idea of multiple universes in existence are the best expla nation for this and other funny behaviour and it has given birth to the mathematical model of the universe called String Theory (orMtheory)whichisyettobeproved,but is our best bet that can be tested as we get better sophisticated scientific instrumen tation. As for black holes, they were predicted by Albert Einstein in his theory of general relativity and later found in nature through the powerful gravity they exert on other stars, the Xray radiation emitted when they devour hapless stars and plumes of gas in space. Sometimes you just have to observe and deduce and test those deductions by observing somewhere else in nature.

This dam would silt up in no time resulting in funds being wasted, plus other factors. A total lack of forward planning has resulted in this crisis taking place. There is no question that the senior executives of the two municipalities are not qualified to handle their responsibilities.

Our requests have fallen on deaf ears resulting in the only conclusion that they have no qualifications to show.

WE were shaken by the mayor, councillor SW Mdabe’s decision, scarcely five hours prior to this vital meeting taking place, to cancel this meeting at the Siza Water’s offices on 13 October without any explanation.

As we execute our task of building a South Africa that truly belongs to all who live in it, and in our quest for a humane and equitable world order, we bask in the embracing light of Diwali as we roll back the darkness of our past history of repression and cultural exclusivism. As we persist in the global quest for peace and, despite setbacks, light up the ďŹ recrackers in a spirit of optimism, we once again express our commitment to strengthen the forces ďŹ ghting for decent values and peace and indeed for the development of all the people of KwaDukuza.

Various other countries celebrate the festival with equal pomp and gaiety as In dians do. The ultimate essence of Diwali, i.e. the triumph of good over evil, is main tained throughout different places and time zones. Here are some countries of the world that celebrate Diwali.

EEPAWALI or Diwali is one of the biggest and the brightest of all Hindu festivals. In India it is the festival of lights that's marked by four daysof celebration,which illuminesthecountrywithits brilliance, and dazzles all with its joy. Each of the four days in the festival of Diwali is separated by a different tradition, but what remains true and constant is the celebration of life, its enjoyment and goodness. Historically, the origin of Diwali can be traced back to ancient India, when it was probably an important harvest festival . How ever, there are various legends pointing to the origin of Diwali or Deepawali. Some believe it to be the celebration of the marriage of Lakshmi with Lord Vishnu. Whereas in Bengal the festival is

dedicated to the worship of Mother Kali, the dark goddess of strength. Lord Ganesha, the symbol of auspiciousness and wisdom, is also worshiped in most Hindu homes on this day. In Jainism, Deepawali has an added significance to the great event of Lord Mahavira attaining the eternal bliss of nirvana. Diwali commemorates the return of Lord Rama along with Sita and Lakshman from his 14yearlong exile and vanquishing the demonking Ravana. In celebration of the return of their king, the people of Ayodhya, the Capital of Rama, illuminated the king dom with earthen diyas (oil lamps) and burst fireworks. Significance of lights and firecrackers The illumination of homes with lights and the skies with fire crackers is an expression of obeisance to the heavens for the at tainment of health, wealth, knowledge, peace and prosperity. According to one belief, the sound of firecrackers are an indication of the joy of the people living on Earth, making the gods aware of their plentiful state. In each story of Deepawali lies the significance of the victory of good over evil. From darkness unto light — the light that empow ers us to commit ourselves to good deeds, that which brings us closer to divinity. During Diwali, lights illu minate every corner of India and the scent of incense sticks hangs in the air, mingled with the sounds of firecrackers, joy, togetherness and hope. Outside India, it is more than a Hindu festival, it's a celebration of SouthAsian identities. If you are away from the sights and sounds ofDiwali,lightadiya, sitquietly,shutyoureyes,with draw the senses, concentrate on this supreme light and illuminate the soul. Supplied.

Less emotion = less pain >> Individuals on chiropractic treatment urged to exercise to improve quality of life

TRONG scientific evidence basedonawiderangeof studies shows that physically active people have higher levels of healthrelated fitness, a lower risk profile for developing a number of disabling medical conditions, and lower rates of various chronic diseases than people who are inactive. Exercise while maintaining compliance with your chiropractic treatment is extremely effective in reducing patients’ acute and chronic back, neck, shoulder and knee and other joint symptoms as well as improving their quality of life. There are many instances where the patient may become disappointed, frustrated, impatient or irritable at their progress. However, patience is the key to healing.

tainingyourchiropractictreatmentis key to a strong, healthy functioning body. Recent research has found that thoughts also play a huge role in affecting our emotions and thereby affecting our nervous system and bodies’ response to activities in our day. Pain is a universal human experience. All pain, whether it is sharp, dull, strong, mild, acute or chronic is always produced by the brain. With acute pain, depending on the cause, it is usually as a result of injury to soft tissue which is what prevents patient motion. These patients are encouraged to restinitially,bemoderatelyactiveand gradually get back to work while improving on physical strengthening and stretching exercises. With chronic pain that persists for longer than three months or more, there has been tissue damage, be it hard tissue (bone) or soft tissue (muscle, tendon, ligament, fascia). However, the ongoing pain becomes more about the sensitivity and re-training of the nervous system rather than too much of physical changes.

At the BUDO MARTIAL ART CENTRE, they incorporate all three elements of martial arts discussed in their our training regime.

Therefore, the key to curbing your pain is to be able to re-train the brain and the nervous system. Thoughts and emotions affect our nervous system. These thoughts and emotions are also brain impulses. It is important to reduce stress and pressure on the nervous system. When we are more emotionally comfortable, and balanced, this reduces levels of pain. What also helps to change our response to pain is healthy eating and exercise. It is evident that in our modernlifestyles,whatweeatandhowwe live may contribute to sensitizing our nervous system and, hence, our responses to pain. Adjusting our diets, reducing our consumption of alcohol, cutting out smoking and increasing our levels of activitycouldalsohelptoreducepain. Also, maintaining moderate exercise, as recommended by your chiropractor, even, while NOT completely painfree,willassistyourbodyinhealing and strengthening.

It may also be practised to promote health and fitness, as a means of personal and spiritual development, and as a form of sport or entertainment. Martial art can be performed both with and without weapons. Styles of martial arts There are many different styles of martial arts practiced throughout the world. Generally, they can be categorised into three broad types: traditional martial arts, sport- based martial arts, and weapon-based martial arts. The traditional martial arts

evolved from battle field training had the sole aim of equipping a practitioner with the skills and techniques necessary to kill or incapacitate the enemy. Sport-based martial arts, on the other hand, incorporates training regimes that prepare a practitioner for sporting competitions rather than solely life-threatening situations. taekwondo, muay thai, western boxing, ixed martial art and judo, are prime examples. Weapon-based martial arts concentrate specifically on the use of weapons. The techniques learnt here can then be applied in either traditional battlefield arts or in sporting competition. Hapkido, kendo and escrima are all examples of weaponbased arts. Depending on the style of martial

"There is a strong possibility that these things play a role in recovery."

Acupuncture treats chronic back pain and numbness >> Acupuncture enhances blood circulation

Acupuncture enhances blood circulation.

ACKpainisacommonproblems these days, affecting people of all age groups. Back pain has many different forms like upper, lower and middle pain. Causes of back pain Back muscles may get strained due to incorrect posture while standing sleeping or sitting for long periods, excessive body weight, repetitive bending or lifting of heavy objects. Slipped disc is another condition which is responsible for back pain. This happens whenthecartilagediscofthevertebrae wear out and press any nerve root. If the sciatica nerve root, located at the lower spine region gets pressed then it

leads to chronic lower back pain that often gets extended to the legs and is accompanied by numbness. Elderly people suffer from chronic back pain due to osteoarthritis affecting the spine, chronic back pain may get triggered by stress and anxiety. The involvement of emotional stresscausesdiscdegenerationorherniation. Prolonged emotional stress creates a sympathetic dominant state in autonomic nervous system and leads to decreased blood flow to most of the organs, muscles and peripheral tissues. When blood flow to the lumber muscles is decreased, the muscles become

tight, loose flexibility and are easily fatigued. Treatment with acupuncture Acupuncture enhances blood circulation especially in the area that there is pain or discomfort. When circulation in the tissue improves, muscle relaxation occurs and immediate pain reduction occurs in many cases. In some other cases, however, when circulation improves, the pain in the affectedareaintensifiesandisthenfollowed by repair of tissue and muscle relaxation. Proper circulation in the tissue is important not only for blood to nourish the tissue but also in enhancing the elimination of muscle fatigue and pain causing substances (eg. Lactic acid) thus resulting in healthy tissue. Acupuncture, cupping therapy and therapeutic massage offers great relief for your back pain. If other therapy has failed then may be its time you tried acupuncture. We can help you lead a pain-free life naturally without any side-effects. For consultation and treatment call Doctor of Chinese Medicine, Dr Meena Kasim on 032 944 2761, 031 207 3620, 082 786 4127 or 082 786 4087.

Back to drawing board for Ilembe Cricket >> Dawnheights team celebrate victory

The Dawn heights were over the moon after beating Ilembe in a KwaZuluNatal Challenge League game played at the Country Club Ground on Sunday. PHOTO: SUPPLIED

WEEKLY REPORTER

Lucky Gebani and Mohamed Mhlongo added some respectability to the Ilembe innings after putting on a 34runs partnership for the eighth wicket. With the demise of Gebani (13), Aaron Pillay (2) and Yusuf Banda (1), Ilembe were bundled out for 153 runs with Mhlongo scoring an unbeaten 27 runs. Ismail was the pick of the Dawnheights bowlers claiming 4/26 from 6 overs. Mohamed Shehzaad grabbed 2/46 from 10 overs. Chasing 154 runs for victory, Dawnheights lost three wickets cheaply and were reeling at 39/3 in the 8th over. But, man-of-the-match Ismail and Varun Pal guided Dawnheights through the stormy spell, posting a matchwinning 56 runs partnership for the fourth wicket. Pal scored a valuable 48 runs with Ismail scoring a painstaking 28 runs. Ilembe stormed back into contention after grabbing three quick wickets. At 149/8 Ilembe were hoping to grab victory from the jaws of death. But, the youthful Adesh Bageloo (9 not out) and Mikhalin Naicker proved that Dawnheights was not a “one-man” team after Naicker smashed Nadasen to the covers for a four to guide Dawnheights to a memorable two-wicket victory.

T’S back to the drawing-board for Ilembe Cricket after their dismal performance against Dawnheights in a KwaZulu-Natal Challenge League game played at the Country Club Ground on Sunday. Thematchwasdelayedbymorethanhalfanhourdue to a wet pitch. Bragging rights were at stake in the derby game and Dawnheights decided to field “heavyweights” Bilal Ismail and Ronald “Tiger” Ponnsamy and veteran campaigner Suveer Maharaj in Sunday’s clash. The trio blended perfectly with the youthful Dawnheights brigade, playing a crucial role in Dawnheights morale-boosting victory. The decision by Dawnheights to field first was vindicated after Ilembe was dismissed for a paltry 153 runs in the 42nd over. Dawnheights made a breakthrough in the ninth over after Radeshwar Singh was dismissed by Sashin Sadayan without getting off the mark. Alveiro Nadasen and Steven Jacobs steadied the Ilembe innings, taking the tally from 22/1 to 55/2 before Nadasen was dismissed by Mikhalin Naicker for a disappointing 21 runs (despite scoring a double century in domestic cricket a fortnight ago). Ilembe’s woes continued with Jacobs (34), Rocky Ngobhozi (2), Desigan Pillay (8), PreshIN LOVING MEMORY en Ramersad (22) and Iqbal Sher (6) were dismissedcheaply,leavingthemstaringdownthe barrel of defeat at 114/7.

But, Suhail Mitha and Jaden Pillay justified their selection in the Ilembe under 13 outfit after guiding Manor to a fluent four-wicket victory with five balls to spare. An ecstatic Manor coach Isaac Abraham heaped praise upon his charges on their note-worthy performance. Suhail scored an unbeaten 18 runs which included three boundaries and was unanimously voted Batsman of the Tournament. Jaden scored an undefeated 11 runs in the final, but his four wicket haul in the tournament earned him the bowling accolade. Suveer, who played consistently throughout the tournament (with bat and ball), was voted Player of the Tournament. Ashram Primary, who registered a shock win against Dawnview in the quarter-finals, were in for a rude awakening after slumping to a sixrun defeat at the hands of rookies Lee Primary in the playoffs for third spot. Co-ordinator of the tournament Isaac Abraham expressed his sincere thanks to all schools that participated in the tournament and commended the players on the spirit of camaraderie that prevailed throughout the Shivendra Velan memorial six-a-side cricket tournament.
