Brothers killed during armed robbery [3]
Water tariff increases by 10% >> The 6kl of water that was once free for all will no longer apply only the poor will now receive 10kl free MERVYN KRISHNA
I
LEMBE District mayor Welcome Mdabe has defended the municipality’s 2014/2015 10% water tariff increase despite calls that the tariff is not in line with legislation and is unaffordable. “Our main priority is to provide water, even though we face infrastructural challenges. “The new water tariff structure is quite simple: the more you use, the more you pay. The less you use, the
less you pay,” said Mdabe, who was speaking at a media briefing at the iLembe Conference Centre recently. “Paying for water must not become a burden to our customers. This is why we engage with the public before setting the increase.” He went on to say that the new cost-reflective rate is definitely in line with National Treasury guidelines and regulations and that the tariff is still the cheapest compared to neighbouring districts, which average R15 per kilolitre.
“We chose not to implement tariff increases on July 1, 2013, instead preparing ourselves for implementation on July 1, 2014. “We looked at examples where 2013 cost-recovery tariffs had been implemented in neighbouring districts and negotiated with treasury for iLembe. “A compromise was needed to meet our costs but still keep water affordable for our consumers.” iLembe also had to support and comply with the National Water Poli-
cy and provide free basic water of 10kl only to indigent consumers, therefore the additional 6kl of water that was once free for all consumers will no longer apply. The restructured water and sanitation tariff takes iLembe from six to three tariff tiers: 0-10kl costing around R8,81 and 11-30kl and 30kl and upwards costing around R12,59. Sanitation charges are capped at 70 percent of the lowest tariff for all categories. Despite the reasoning behind the
increases, a vast majority of the community are still in disagreement. Sham Kumar, a financial accountant, said considering the increase in all other facets of daily living, the water tariff hike is a tough blow. Another community member, Thami Ndlovu said the municipality does not do enough to make the community understand the increases.

Manor brothers killed in armed robbery >> Victim watches his brother shot dead before he dies from his own wound after wrestling gun from thug MERVYN KRISHNA
G
LENDALE police are searching for two suspects who shot and killed Stanger Manor brothers Raj Pillay (51) and Devan Govender (43) in an armed robbery at their store in Glendale last week. According to Glendale SAPS media liaison officer Mahlobo Nhlaniynza, the incident occurred on Tuesday morning when two suspects entered the Hlangweni Trading Store in Glendale and demanded cash. The cash which was to be used for pension pay-outs was handed to the suspects. However, one of the robbers with a pistol turned on Pillay
and fired a single shot from close range, killing him instantly. According to Nhlaniynza, the robber then turned his pistol towards Govender and fired a shot which struck him in the chest. “Govender wrestled with the robber and managed to take away his pistol and shot him once in his leg,” said Nhlaniynza. “The robbers managed to flee with an undisclosed amount of cash.” Govender then contacted his elder brother Preggie Pillay and told him that they had been shot. Preggie rushed to the scene, but both his brothers were already dead.
are involved in both the brother’s murders and the attack on the firearm owner. The Glendale police have launched a full scale investigation into the murders. Initial investigations revealed that the suspects are from the area. Pillay and Govender leave behind their mother Parvathy, sister Rani and brothers Lenny, Preggie and Alan. The funeral took place on Saturday at the KwaDukuza Cemetery. The family thanked the Glendale and KwaDukuza SAPS, pastors, Reddy’s Funeral Service and family and friends for their hard work and support during their time of bereavement.
“My brothers were humble and hard working. They did notmarrybecause theywanted to take care of my 75-year-old mother. The family is devastated, especially my mum. “We are hurting, they were pillars of strength in the family and I don’t know how we are going to cope with their deaths,” said Preggie. The murder weapon, a Colt 45 used in the robbery, was recovered and is in the possession of the police. According to Nhlaniynza, the pistol was allegedly stolen after the owner was attacked and robbed two weeks ago in Glendale. “The owner of the firearm is still recuperating in hospital.” It is believed that both suspects

Water tariff increases by 10% “They say they put an advert in the local newspapers but we have no idea how to interpret those adverts. There is no proper explanation for people like you and I.” Acting municipal manager NG Khumalo explained sanitation tariffs were originally charged based on market value of the property including land as reflected on the valuation rolls of the local municipalities. “This method proved too expen sive for the consumer, and also the municipality has no control of the val uation roll as it is not a district council documentbutalocalmunicipalitydoc ument. “It was further noted that most municipalities are charging sanitation tariffs based on water consumption. It is against this background that the method of charging sanitation tariff has now changed from that of mar
ket value of property to that of water consumption,” said Khumalo. He went on to say that council un derstands the high level of indigent consumers in the district and affected consumers are encouraged to come forward and apply for indigent status so they can get their indigent relief. Chief financial officer Nosipho Mba explained that discussions be tween Treasury and iLembe revealed that the district is underrecovering by 74 percent. “In order to give effect to this, iLembe introduced a further 17 per cent increase to the tariff of charges, which is aimed at recovering costs of rendering the service of providing water to its communities.” The detailed budget and tariff breakdown can be viewed at www.ilembe.gov.za, or call 032 437 9300 for more information.

Beware of prolific local conman >> Thief ‘charges’ naive and desperate victims R3000 and promises municipal jobs in return MERVYN KRISHNA
I
F you are currently job searching and have come across any individual who claims to work for any government department and wants you to deposit money into a private account, beware.
This is a scam as jobs are not for sale. The Stanger Weekly has been inundated with complaints that people are being approached by “unscrupulous criminals” who ask them to deposit money into an account in exchange for a promised job through internal connections. This comes to light after a senior employee at the KwaDukuza Correctional Services Department Barry Masondo’s name was used by a criminal to con individuals out of thousands of rands. The criminal uses Masondo's name, saying he works at the KwaDukuza Correctional Services and promised victims

jobs for a cash amount of R3 000. Several individuals have since come forward and reports have been made to the KwaDukuza SAPS. Masondo said: “We wish to clarify that there are no jobs for sale and the community is requested to follow the correct procedures when applying for a job.” One of the victims, Esther Hlanga of Shakaskraal, who was conned out of R2 400, said the man goes by the names of Mr Mthiyane or Mr Majola. This was confirmed after speaking to ten other victims. “The conman would call any landline number and say he was looking for a certain person; when you tell him that the person does not live there, he would then say that he is trying to locate this person for several days because the person
wanted a job at the Correctional Services and has to commence work immediately. “He would then ask if you know of anyone who is looking for a job because he was getting tired of searching for the person.” Hlanga said theconmanwouldtell victims he is working in conjunction with certain senior officers at the KwaDukuza Correctional Services. “Hewouldsayweneededtoorganise our CV's and so on if we wanted the job. “He would then tell us to go to the post office and buy a registered envelope. “During this time he would constantly be in contact with the victims on the phone. “While the victims walk out of the post office with the envelope, he

would identify us. “He would then give us what he calls our ‘student numbers’ and ask his victims to make deposits into an account at a local supermarket. “Once he see the victims walking into the supermarket, he would go to the nearest ATM and withdraw the cash,” said Hlanga. At this stage the thief has conned more than 20 people, all residing in KwaDukuza. Masondo strongly affirmed that the conman will be dealt with. “All incidents are currently under investigation and legal action will be taken against the culprit. “Members of the public are urged not to give their hard-earned money to these people. “If you have come across such a scam involving a municipal official or councillor, please report it to the KwaDukuza SAPS on 032 551 8200 or the Ombudsperson and Head: Investigation on: 0800 20 20 20or 0313114002.” The KwaDukuza SAPS are investigating the case.

are believed to be part of a syndicate that is involved in conning people into handing over large amounts of cash in exchange for the “valuable gems”. “The victims only realise later that they have been conned.” Arjun, who was patrolling the CBD, received the tip-off when the suspects tried to con another Lot 14 business woman.
THREE Phoenix men were arrested last week by N-Force Security officers after they tried to sell fake gemstones to business owners. When the suspects approached one of the business owners, he became suspicious and alerted NForce director Nitesh Arjun. According to Arjun, the suspects

“Investigations revealed that suspects conned people of their hard earned cash and their jewellery,” said Arjun. He added the suspects told him that a fourth suspect was also “doing his work” in the Stanger Heights area. Arjun and his team pounced on him as well and handed the men to the KwaDukuza SAPS.

ESPITE heavy canvassing for ward 22 from the African National Congress (ANC), the Democratic Alliance (DA) has retained the ward, with Malcolm Hubner at the helm. This comes after an intense by-election last Wednesday. The DA won the ward with a 67% lead, putting Hubner in as councillor, while the ANC received just under 33% of the vote. Hubner and the ANC’s Rigby Heenan were both stationed at the polling venue at the Salt Rock Library, alongside KwaDukuza mayor Ricardo Mthembu. Hubner said he had felt “quite confident” that the party would retain the ward. “We won by a higher majority than the last by-elections in 2011. “The ANC worked hard, but we were positive we would retain the ward, especially as we won the national elections in the area by 2000 votes,” he said. Heenan said he felt privileged he had been approached by the ANC to run for the position, and that despite the outcome, the ANC wished to show its interest in the ward and in the interests of the ‘minority population’. “It is time we worked together in this country, we all basically have the same vision. “Racial groups still do not trust each other. We want to put this out there,” said Heenan. Mthembu said it was the first time the ANC had canvassed for the ward, and that his aim had been to have a better relationship with the community through Heenan as councillor. “Many issues, such as the street lights being on in the day or not at all, have not been brought to the municipality’s attention. “We need a person who can help us identify and address issues better,” said Mthembu. He added it would not be the last time they would canvass for wards currently under the
New DA Ward 22 councillor Malcolm Hubner and his wife Dagmar at the Salt Rock Library during the byelection. DA. Independent Electoral Commission presiding officer Ivy Khumalo said voting had gone smoothly. “It was quieter than the national elections earlier this year, but people still came through steadily,” said Khumalo. Voter Muzi Ndlovu (26) said more jobs need to be created in the area. “There is work in Ballito, but very little here. I walk dogs for people, but it does not bring in enough money. “I am prepared to do any job, as long as I can earn a decent living,” said Ndlovu. Another resident, Uli Kliem, said he hopes municipal costs will be kept down. ENDS 13 JULY 2014

ICHOLAS Wade, a former science writer for the New York Times, has for the past few months had his name attached to several scientific blogs because of hisnewbook:“ATroublesomeInheritance, Genes, Race and Human History.”
calls for scientists to get over their hang-ups and look into serious studies of racial difference. “The intellectual barriers erected many years ago to combat racism now stand in the way of studying the recent evolutionary past,” he writes and I find that I must agree with him in this regard. I sometimes wonder if the difference between the races truly is just skin deep when I consider the behaviours of the different races I find around me in this beautiful country. Wade takes things a step further by proposing that Caucasians are more adept to “trusting outsiders” and that this is the basis of modern democratic nations and governments. He thereafter states that Africans are more susceptible to violent behaviour and prefer hot-headed tribal societies and also that East Asian communities tend to prefer authoritarian systems. TECHNICAL TRAINING CENTRE FACILITATOR: The trouble FULL TIME, POST LEVEL 1, TEMPORARY ON with this “TrouCONTRACT, COUNCIL APPOINTMENT, SALARY blesomeInheriThe gist of the controversy is that in his book, Wade tries to show why Caucasians are superior over the other major races (Africans and East Asians) and how this is in their genes. Wade explicitly states however that he is, in fact, not a racist, “It is not automatically racist to consider racial categories as a possible explanatory factor,” writes Wade. In his defence, though, he does not explicitly say that white people are better than other races rather that they are better “adapted” to modern political and economic environments that today dominate the world and that this is due to their genes.

tance” is that Wade attempts to link genetic variations with behavioural differences between the races, which goes beyond observable biological differences.Sure,it is quite likely that genes influence behaviour but so do many other factors that Wade fails to mention such as geography, culture and epigenics (which determines which genes are turned on and off). No definite evidence exists that there are specific genes that code for specific behaviors. Wade does not mention this either and does the unthinkable by foregoing any kind of science in his arguments. In fact he says that his ideas on the topic “are leaving the world of hard science and entering into a much more speculative arena at the interface of history, economics and human evolution.” In an article written by Arthur Allen, another New York Times science writer, he lists puzzling examples that Wade tries to use in support of his argument, such as that where he notes a gene variant that gives East Asians dry earwax also produces less body odour which would have been attractive “among people spending many months in confined spaces escaping the cold,” and I laughed as it raises the question as to why Europeans would not develop the same trait being subject to simi-

H
UMAN beings, it seems, are a gullible bunch. Given time, we begin to believe that using a certain brand of shampoo makes us “worth it”; that canned vegetables truly are “the best we can do”, and that, as people who can afford expensive running shoes, we should “just do it”. Our tendency to fall for marketing strategies is all well and good until desperation gets the better of us. This is when we start believing that the weight-loss soap at China Mall is the answer to our calorie-counting woes and that the latest skincare product will remove the wrinkles that the last 20 creams have failed to fill. Those in the dating game are well-versed in the fact that if something, or someone, seems too good to be true, they invariably are. The skeleton in the closet may be an ongoing inabilitytostopthinkingandbehaving like a 21-year-old even as he approaches 40. It may be that what he really wants in a woman is a clone of his mother. On the other side of the coin, she may only be interested in you because of the deafening

lar conditions. Allen also notes that Wade speculates that thick hair and small breasts evolvedinAsianwomenbecausethey may have been “much admired by Asian men,” and this begs the question as to why did Asian men alone prefer these traits? Looking at the social injustices that have resulted from one group’s idea that it is superior and different from the other, ideas like these come along and once we have cut all the cr*p, it still forces us to look at each other’s curly hair, blue eyes, genitalia size and ask ourselves “are we truly different?”Andwhatdoestheanswer to such a question do for us? Do we embrace our differences and how deep are these differences? I must commend Wade for challenging the norm and minefield of racial difference although I cannot say he came out in one piece. “What is the use of teaching the Bantu child mathematics when it cannot use it in practice? That is quite absurd. Education must train people in accordance with their opportunities in life, according to the sphere in which they live,” said Dr Hendrik Verwoerd, South African minister for native affairs and the country’s Prime Minister from 1958 to ‘66.
gong of her biological clock or her desire to give up work, become a Desperate Housewife, and spend her days languishing by your pool, hopefully not frolicking with the gardener. Thanks to the Satinsky saga, many South Africans have just got up close and personal with the fact that something that seems too good to be true, invariably is. The glorified pyramid scheme-like structure set up in Hong Kong and exported to South Africans struggling to stay afloat has crumbled, leaving thousands of our folk up the metaphorical creek with no paddle. A new Nissan Micra or Renault Sandero costs at least R2500 per month. If someone tells you that it costs R699, you can now be sure that it was too good to be true. What tickles me pink is that the driveanewcar.co.za website is still up and running, even in the light of recent epiphanies. The other sad fact is that there are many unscrupulous individuals who will take advantage of the vulnerable, preying on the fact that many people forget that things which appear to be good should not be trusted. Statements such as “Your computer has a virus, but don’t worry – we can fix it. Just give us your credit card details,” has caused many a pensioner to inadvertently donate her life savings to an indifferent conman. “You’ve just won eleventy billion dollars in a lottery that you never entered,” is another common one. Lastly, the media has reported many a time of a man who knocks on the door and smiles sweetly before offering to check your electricity meter. Once in your home, of course, he robs you blind. Many respondents tothiscolumnaccuseme of being overly cynical. Before you lambast me for being an overzealous sceptic, talk to someone who has bought a car with the “help” of Satinsky, or tried to lose weight with pills containing herbs and minerals from the Amazon rainforest.

In the early 80s Naidoo joined his late father Kitty Naidoo at Stanger Funeral Services, one of the first undertakers in KwaDukuza.

expensive the paint, so go for muted blue or green rather than sunshine yellow. Keep some of the paint and use it on a few other touches in the room – a picture frame, a plastic wall clock, a shelf, a door frame. You will be amazed at the difference it makes.

A bit of greenery Beg, borrow and steal a few plants from friends or family, or buy plants on special at the nursery. A few lavender bushes in a row at the front of the house can change the whole feeling of the house. Indoor plants also can be a nice focal point – paint the paint tin you used above in the same colour as the wall and use as a plant pot. Fabulous frames Check out theframesindepartment stores, and frame stuff yourself. Make a statement using a piece of brightly coloured paper (a few rands at stationery shops) as a backdrop. Empty frames in junk shops also go for next to nothing. Buy a few, paint them, and stick photos or pretty black and white pictures or postcards in them straight against the wall for special effect. Wrapping paper can be beautiful in a frame. Magic mugs You can buy beautiful mugs for less than R20 each. Ten mugs hung from hooks under a shelf can transform a drab kitchen. You can either go for a splash of colour and variety, or estab-
lish the colour scheme of your kitchen by choosing ten of the same. Bathroom blues Stuck with a seventies bathroom andastainedoldmetalbath?Redoing the lot could cost thousands. Paint the tiles yourself. Go all white, so you don’t have to worry about the grouting between the tiles. Consider re-enamelling the tired old metal bath. It costs just over R1000, but can make the bathroom seem like new. Afewbrighttowels,apaintedwooden box attached to the wall for storage, and a self-framed postcard or two, and there you go. Oh, and ditch the mouldy old shower curtain. Candles Candlelight will hide a multitude of sins if you have friends over for dinner. It creates a soft and pleasing light and brightly coloured candles from the supermarket are cheap. Fill a large paper packet with sand and stick the candle in it. It creates a beautiful effect.

How to add warmth to any room IF you’re feeling the onset of the winter chill and your home is starting to feel like a cold tomb rather than a warm sanctuary, look no further! Add texture and layers Adding more texture and layers to a room increases that room’s warmth. So think about adding one or more of the following: whitewashed or distressed wooden frames filled with family portraits; handwoven reed baskets; bamboo blinds; thick grass rugs; or ceramic vases. Not only are these textures visually appealing, but they also create welcoming warmth in any space. Furthermore, forget matching each colour and tex ture – rather layer as many textures and patterns to gether to create a cosy, indulgent environment. You could pile plump cushions on your sofas, or add oriental woven rugs to the floor or on top of your existing carpeting for extra warmth underfoot. Work with nature and natural materials Adding warmth to your room without adding clutter is simple. If you want to keep your décor un derstated and only want to have a few pieces of furniture, choose natural materials as they convey an incredible sense of warmth. In your lounge, you might consider a reclaimed wood coffee table paired with a wool area rug. In the dining room, you could make use of linen nap kins and curtains in nude colours. Glass mason jars make for interesting table centrepieces and you can fill them with citrus fruit or beeswax candles and swap them out regularly to avoid boredom. Lowmaintenance greenery in ceramic planters is another simple but great idea. Bringing nature in doors with leafy houseplants or interestinglooking succulents helps to lend any room a warmer feel. Introduce colour Pinks, oranges, reds and browns make a room feel in stantly warmer. You can add these into the colour scheme through the soft furnishings like curtains, scatter cushions, tablecloths and throws. A thick linen curtain is a wonderful winter staple. Not only do curtains warm a room visually if you choose a deep cranberry or rich chocolate hue, but they also offer more physical warmth by blocking out cold draughts and helping to keep the heat in. When it comes to colour and texture on the walls, picking paint colours for a wall can be tricky.

Pinks, oranges, reds and browns make a room feel instantly warmer. Choosing between warm and cool, rich and vibrant colours can be confusing and the paint colour on the wall often doesn’t match up to the expectations created by the colour swatch, so rather consider the other options just mentioned. Complement with a wood finish With wall panels, what you see is what you get – and that’s an instant boost of texture and interest to any wall. You can choose from a variety of naturallooking wood finishes – complement a dark, rich colour scheme with the lighter oak or whitewash finish to create depth and warmth. If you’ve chosen an airy, light colour scheme for your room, you could consider creating an intense contrast by utilising chestnut or mahogany wall pan els. Soften the lighting If you soften the lighting in a room you will add warmth to that space. Make use of lamps – table or standing – to create a soft ambiance. Wallmounted candle sconces and hurricane lamps can be used to introduce a flickering and invit ing warmth. You could also add mirrors and metallic décor elements to reflect the glow you’ve created. Here’s wishing you a warm and happy season in your winterfriendly home!

Ubani isikhohlakali kuyo yonke le nyakanyaka? AYACASULA lamadoda akhula eyizishimane, aqale ukuba ngamasoka esemadala bese ebona izingane zabantu ziyizinto zokudlala. La masoka avame ukubonakala kakhulu uma kunemicimbi efana nalo mjaho omkhulu wamah hashi waminyaka yonke oba seGreyville eThekwi ni, obungoMgqibelo. Okucasula kakhulu umfokaNdosi, uMgiks, uku thi uma esesenkingeni la masoka avumbuka ilan ga seliyozilahla kunina, amanye antantatheka eze kuyena esecela awatakule obishini. Cishe beku saphele ihora elilodwa ngifikile ekhaya ngeSonto ntambama engixoxela ngenye injitimane (gentle man) eyakhula iyilesishimane esixaka ukwenza. Uthi isisu simane sagcwala umoya kule njiti mane ehlonishwayo eSontweni ekhonza kulona ngendlelaenikelangayo,neyaziwangokuhlanzeka nokungayifuni into ebheke eceleni njengokuxe gelwa yisimilo, ngesikhathi ihlangana nembibi zane ngoLwesihlanu ebusuku. Le njitimane, ibisih lelekonkenenganeyesikoleukuthiukuthibazojab ula ndawonye ebusuku ngoLwesihlanu kweminye yale micimbi ebithe chithi saka eThekwini, eyand ulela usuku olukhulu, iDurban July Handicap. Uku thi kuhlanganwe nini,kuphi, kanjani, akusasho lutho manje ngoba sekonakele konakele. Uma ey ixoxa le ndaba uMgiks ubuye anxaphe yedwa azwakale esethi: “Nxag! Nazo lezi zingane zon akele ngokwazo man! Kubonakala ngendlela eziz iphophotha ngayo ukuthi zibolile. Ngeke ungit shele ukuthi imali yokuthenga zonke lezi ziqholo ezizisebenzisayo ziyinikwa ngabazali.” Le njitimane ibihlele ukuthi izohlangana nale ngane yomuntu kwelinye lama hhotela aphambili eMhlanga. Iqashe netekisi ebizolanda ingane. Wonke amalungiselelo abesemi ngomumo, nen gane isitsheliwe ukuthi izofika yenze njani ehho tela. Akwaziwake noma ingane ibinovadlwana yi ni ngoba kuzwakala sengathi ibuzile ukuthi ingafi ka yini nomngane wayo, kwathiwa ‘no problem’ kodwa kube ngumngani ongesisona ‘isitini’. Nayo ke injitimane le, ibe isihlela nobhululu wayo ukuthi bahlangane ba ‘gruve’ ndawonye. Ngeke siyidalule le njitimane ngoba ngabe sifaka uMgiks enkingeni, angabe esasipotshozela izindaba okuyizona es iphila ngazo. Okunye okusemqoka ukuthi le ngosi akuyona eyokuxabanisa, kodwa eyokuphawula ngezinto ezithinta umphakathi. Nangempela izilethe izingane itekisi ebusuku.

Akudingekanga nokuthi zize zingqonqoze kan ingisezifikileekamelweniebeziyalelwelona.Kusu kume yona injitimane le, yavula isicabha yase ica sha emuva kwaso, idlala. Lona omunye ubhululu wayo ubehleli kusofa osegunjini elibheke ulwan dle, ezishayela iwayini. Namalambu kagesi la end lini, akhanyiswe kancane ngalendlela yokuthi kudingeka usondele eduze kakhulu kumuntu uku ze umbone kahle ukuthi ubani. Ithe ifika nje injitimane emva kwemizuzwana engemingaki zingenile ‘izingane’ ziqeda ukuhlala phansi, yayishona kweyayo ‘ingane’ iyiqabula ezindebeni ngalokhu okuthiwa yibaby kiss. Emva kwalokho injitimane ikhanyise ugesi kakhudlwana ukuze kwazane wonke umuntu osendlini. Kuphele ubusoka, isisu sagcwala umoya ibona ukuthi lena enye intombazane, yindodakazi yayo yangaphan dle. Nanxa ayithola engakashadi bayazwana ngoba iyaziwa nasekhaya futhi ihlale ivakasha futhi iyazwana nomkakhe. “Manjebengingekhominaenzayonkelemikhu ba unkabi lo,” kusho umfo kaNdosi, “kodwa sekuy imina okufanele ngiqhamukela nesu lokumtakula kule nyakanyaka asengene kuyona. Kwasalowo mcimbi obuhleliwe awubange usaqhubeka, kuph ele konke ukuhlakanipha. “Okungicasula tu ukuthi onkabi laba uma bekhefuza emihlanganweni nasemaSontweni, bazenza ongcwelengcwele, bethi bona abaland elwa yizimpukane eziluhlaza, kanti banemikhuba exaka ukwenza, yizikhohlakali zokuqala nokugci na,” esho enikina ikhanda umfo kaNdosi. Kazi wena mfundi wawuzokwenze njani uma uzithola esimweni esifana nesale njitimane. Uma kunje, ngubani isikhohlakali ngempela kule nyakanyaka? Injintimane nobhululu wayo, noma nazo ‘izingane’ kuyefana nje. Kufanele kwenziwe njanima kunje?.

A natural artist SHANNON HOPKINS DARNALL Secondary School pupil Kerushnee Naicker’s (17) painting was rated number one in the KwaDukuza interschools arts competition last year, and now forms part of conserva tion awareness at a local office site. Her painting, which was originally drawnonasmallcanvas,hasnowbeen rescaled and printed on a large wall at the Dolphin Coast Landfill Manage ment (DCLM) in New Guerlderland as partofacampaignfocusedonrenewa ble energy as a resource. The painting attracts the attention of passersby outside the DCLM’s re ception area. KwaDukuza mayor Ricar do Mthembu, who visited the site at the unveiling ceremony recently, nod ded with approval, saying that the cre ative detail behind the piece is impres sive. “This work of art serves to remind members of the public about the course of utilising renewable resources in addressing environmental challeng es at large. “This will now remain as our municipal memory in ensuring that the campaign on dangers of gas emissions and re newableenergyresource lives,”hesaid. DCLM, last year, donated R20 000 to wards the competition, which went to the winning school.
TAFF and clients at Dr Strini Chetty’s rooms and Serene and Sensual Spa were excited by the arrival of KwaDukuza’s very own celebrity Ashish Gangapersad, who played Prada, in SABC 3’s Isidingo. His short, but enlightening visit this past Saturday, proved once again, that despite his demanding schedule Ashish always has time to visit the town he grew up in. Ashish has recently left Isidingo, after realising his need for more creative and challenging opportunities within the entertainment industry. He is currently busy with script-writing for a South African based series, as well as appearing in the seventh season of “Strictly Come Dancing”, alongside the stunning Linze. Ashish said he is always confident of his large fan base from KwaDukuza and he hopes that the community unites in supporting his appearance in “Strictly Come Dancing”. Speaking to the Weekly Dr Chetty said his visit to the Serene and Sensual Spa, to promote this up and coming business was refreshing and much appreciated. “I together with the Serene and Sensual Spa, and the KwaDukuza community wish him every success in his future endeavours.”
Mthembu commended the agency for IN LOVING MEMORY ensuring that the priorities of govern ment are being supported. “DCLM together with KwaDukuza Municipality last year established a Trust Fund with a view of improving knowledge and awareness on reduc tion waste, recycling and reuse in schools.

KSST advance to Ralph Memorial K.O. Cup final WEEKLY REPORTER KSST Volleyball Club advanced to the final of the Ralph Reuben Memorial Knockout Cup with a hard fought 2-1 win against Grove End in the semi’s played at the association courts on Wednesday night. Grove End, who beat KSST in their first league encounter earlier in the year made their intentions clear right from the start with a dramatic 25-21 win in the first set. Carnel Joseph inspired the fight-back by KSST with his thunderous attacks from the wings. His point-after-point winner served as acatalystwithhisteammatesuppingtheirtempo in their quest to stay in the hunt for honours.

midway into the 3rd set, but too many unforced errors resulted in Grove End trailing 7-11. A catalogue of unforced errors saw KSST squander their 4-point cushion and at 13-11 were forced into a timeout. KSST booked their place in the final with a nail-biting 15-13 win. There was a huge scare for Randsons, who slumped to a humiliating 19-25 defeat at the hands of Cool Leaders in the 1st set of their quarter-final clash. But, they clawed their way back into contention winning the 2nd set 25-16 before romping to a fluent 15-9 in the final set to secure a semifinal berth against rookies Darnall United. Sandhir “Tinboy” Jugmohan and Neeraj Bageloo combined superbly to guide Randsons to a comfortable 25-22 win against Darnall in the 1st set. But, the “sugarcane” lads turned on the heat in the 2nd set, forcing their rivals into numerous unforced errors before winning 2522 to push the fame into a 3rd and decisive set. Man-of-the-match Ahmed Essack, Bageloo and Jugmohan guided Randsons into the final with a well deserved 15-12 win. With the unavailability of core players in the KSST and Grove End camp (due to VSA InterProvincial Tournament), the 3rd/4th playoffs and final of the Ralph Reuben Memorial Knockout Cup will take place on Thursday,17 July.
