Man beaten to death by mob
>> Community beats man beyond recognition after suspecting him of theft
SIBUSISO BIYELA
T
HE family of Siyanda Sibiya
(23) is distraught after Sibiya
was beaten to death by a mob
after accusing him of stealing a cell-
phone on Saturday morning in the
Melville area near Groutville.
His brother is trying to come to
termswith the brutality displayed by
the community.
The brother of the victim, who
wished to remain anonymous, was
woken up in the early hours of the
morningwiththenewsthathisbroth-
er was being assaulted.
Igotcallsataround3amonSatur-
day from a woman who told me that
my brother was being beaten up by
the community for a robbery, Sibiya
told the Weekly.
Unsureofwhatwashappening,he
calledhismothertocheckifhisbroth-
er was in his bedroom.
She checked his room and she
found that he was not there, said
Sibiya. Mother thencalled thepolice
andweweretoldthatthebeatingonly
stopped when police arrived and the
police called for an ambulance.
Sibiyawenttocheckonhisbrother
at the hospital only to bemetwith the
news of his brothers death.
I arrived at the casualty ward at
the hospital at around 11:45am and
they toldmehehaddied. Iwasnot al-
lowedtoseehimasIwas toldhis inju-
ries were gruesome, he said.
According to Sibiya, his brother
was beaten beyond recognition,
with everyweapon conceivable that
people could beat my brother up
with.
Sibiya said he couldnt bear to
watchtheincident or see his brother
in the state he was in, but witnesses
present told him that his brotherwas
severely beaten with weapons and
dragged with a rope.
We really do not know what my
brother did to warrant this attack on
him. All I have heard is that he stole
a phone out of someones house or
something of the sort, said Sibiya
who is still trying tomakesenseof the
violence.
The thingwithmob justice is that
if someone screams in the dark of
night and accuses someone of theft
or robbery, the community does not
ask any questions and they just start
beating the person and thats what
they did to my brother, said a dis-
traught Sibiya.
My mother is already very sick,
and now to have to handle this loss is
just too much.
KwaDukuza SAPS spokesperson,
Warrant Officer Johannes Khoza,
confirmedthat the incidentoccurred.
This is one of two incidents in the
Melville area and there are others in
areas such as Ntshawini where the
community is taking the law in their
own hands by killing suspects.
No previous cases were reported
before the incidents, but we see the
community committing these atroci-
ties. We urge that these activities
stop, said Khoza.
JYOTHI LALDAS
FOLLOWING the electrocution of an
Ntshawini woman, the KwaDukuza
Municipality will establish a special
unit to deal with illegal electricity con-
nections.
This was announced at the funeral
of domestic worker Princess Ntuli,
who was electrocuted by a live wire
from an illegal connection near her
home.
Speaking at her funeral on Sunday,
KDM executive committee member
SduduzoGumede said themunicipali-
ty realised that when housing settle-
mentswerebuilt, informalsettlements
came up next to them.
Thesquatters thenillegally tapped
into the electricity supply causing
many injuries and deaths.
Gumede said in Ntshawini alone
there are 5 000 homes, however, due
to illegal connections, the local elec-
tricity grid had become strained.
We are establishing a special unit
thatwill dealwith illegal connections,
he said.
A family spokesperson said they,
especially Ntulis three children,
are struggling to come to terms with
her death.
"We have to accept that she is gone
now and there is nothing we can do
about it."
Ntulis husband was also injured
while trying to rescue her.
Gumede pleaded with the commu-
nity to stopmaking illegal connections
as it is life threatening.
"There are children playing here
right where there are illegal connec-
tions.
What ifoneofyourchildreniselec-
trocuted by your very own illegal con-
nection? What will you do then?
"I appeal to this community to stop
connecting electricity illegally. People
have died and more people will die if
this does not stop."
KDM to establish illegal connections unit
THE Umhlali SAPS are appealing to

A case for atheism
I
AManatheist. I have come to re-
alisethatIwasbornonejustasev-
eryone else is. This includes you,
your family and all your friends.
Othersmay refer tome as an infi-
del, others a lost soul, some might
even think me the anti-Christ.
These labels andothersarequite
effectiveatturningmanyahereticin-
to a believer.
An atheist, by definition, is an in-
dividualwhodoesnotbelieveinGod.
Going further,notbelieving inGod
doesnot necessarilymeanyouauto-
matically are certain that he (or she
or they) does not exist.
Atheists do not generally claim to
know for sure what they do not, but
we can, with certainty, spot bovine
feces.
If reliable evidence would be
found and a falsifiable theory prov-
ing the existence of God, then the
atheist would start believing in
God without the burden of faith, but
by the fulfilling use of reason in light
of reliable evidence.
Atheists donot try todisprove the
existence of God as his existence
has never been proven in the first
place.
The atheist would rather point
out the holes in your religion, which
theyareinabundancebothintheho-
ly books and the actions of devout
fundamentalists and extremists.
Children are born not knowing of
God and it is at a tender age they get
indoctrinated into believing that
there is a God.
It takes a lot to convince a child
thatGodexistsas theyarecoaxed in-
toforegoingtheircommonsenseand
the use of their senses to believe in
the unseen.
As a child, you start to believe in
God yourself as you are told that the
unconditional love of your God will
unleashhiswrathshouldyouchoose
not to love him back. It is like this in
some traditional religions, at least.
A lot of us get the atheist beaten
out of us from subliminal threats of
socialexclusionifwedonotconform.
So we give in to the beliefs of the
eldersandourpeersalthough itgoes
against all of what we have inde-
pendently learnt about the world.
We stop caring. We stop asking.
Wealreadyknowwhat theanswer is
for everything.
Who needs evidence when you
have faith? Faith becomes every-
thing. We start seeing manifesta-
tionsofit(God)everywhere,inplaces
where there is no such God.
We start to believe that he has a
predeterminedplanforus,whichwe
have no control over, yetwe still find
ourselves praying to him.
The atheist in each of us keeps
rearing its ugly head begging us to
seereason.Reason?Whoneedssuch
sacrilegious nonsense? It is pure
blasphemy, the works of the devil
himself.
We are told of a God who creates
theuniverse, createsushimselfwith
predetermined plans for all of us.
Knowing full well what would hap-
pen, he still kills almost all of us to
start anew.
This atheist in each of us challen-
ges our faith. Sowe gather with oth-
ers like us to convince ourselves of
the inconceivable, and re-enforce
our unsupported beliefs.
This columnwas inspired, inpart
by a quote from a prominent atheist
and well-known actor, Emma
Thompson, where she says:
Imanatheist; I supposeyoucan
call me a sort of libertarian anar-
chist. I regard religionwith fear and
suspicion. It's not enough to say that
I don't believe in God. I actually re-
gard the system as distressing: I am
offended by some of the things said
in the Bible and the Qur'an and I re-
fute them.
Sibusiso is a thinker just like every-
body else.
Withtheexception,ofcourse, that
histhoughtsarewrittenaswitty,de-
bate-invoking and thought-provok-
ing columns.
This is partly because he loves to
do it andmostly because of the guil-
lotine of adeadline that haunts him
always-theinstrumentofexecution
literally stands over his desk ready
to drop.
EXACTLY three weeks ago we received a
call from an elderly woman residing at an
old age home. She informed us that she
could hear a small kitten crying, but was
unable to ascertain where the distress call
was coming from.
I immediately followed the sound and
found a very small abandoned kitten alone
at the entrance to the community hall, sit-
ting beside an upturned cardboard box.
I picked her up and continued searching
for any other kittens.
I then found an even smaller dumped
kitten sitting very quietly in a dark corner.
It appeared to me that this little creature
had given up hope as he did not call out
nor move at all unlike the other one, whose
calling saved both of them.
ItookthemhomeandphonedtheSPCA
in Ballito. We were told that the kittens
were between 10 to 12 days old and were
too small for the SPCA to take them. They
were so small that they could hardly walk,
but wobbled along mostly gliding on their
stomachs.
Our grateful thanks go to the SPCA and
especially to Nathi and Dennis for securing
some kitten pellets and milk formula for us
to feed the kittens adequately. There are
still some good people around amidst the
cruelty to animals that prevails.
The kittens were too small to lap milk
from a saucer. My wife and I fed them their
milk with a small eye dropper. We did this
for two weeks. By the grace of God they sur-
vived and started eating softened solid kit-
ten pellets mixed with some small soft
chicken portions in gravy via a sachet.
Three days ago they started lapping milk
and eating from a saucer.
We also trained them to use a sand
box for their needs which they use dili-
gently. They are completely house trained
and love to be held and cuddled by our-
selves.
Unfortunately we have not allowed
them to play outside as there are many vi-
cious stray dogs and cats around. A number
of cats and kittens have already been killed
by these stray animals.
Sadly, we are not able to keep these kit-
tens as they have not been exposed to sur-
vival tactics and are very vulnerable.
They both need a safe and loving home,
where they will be together forever being
loved and pampered for life.
They were together from birth, aban-
doned together, survived together, rescued
together and have lived with us, together,
since we found them.
We pray that a loving and caring family,
living on the Dolphin Coast, will adopt both
of them, so that they can live the rest of
their lives together.
We estimate their age to be four to five
weeks old, house trained and ready for
adoption.
If you are interested and can adopt both
kittens, then please call me: my name is
Frank and my cell number is 076 210 5090
and my wifes cell number 076 966 5175
I am available anytime day or night.

FOR me the quintessential part

You we ask for help. Guide us to
the straight path - the path of

This is the essential prayer.
As a seeker of the straight
path, I unreservedly condemn
the heinous murder of innocent
people in Paris by those with
sickness in their hearts and
mind.
May the unity of the millions
who stood shoulder to shoulder
on Sunday in Paris be the begin-
ning of a human bond that will
work for peace and justice in the
world.
This is the time too for Israel
and Palestine to seize the mo-

with urgency.
This is also the moment for
the world to put extreme pres-

Matrics: What to do
if you dont do well
>> Options for matric pupils
W
HILE some matrics may be have
performed at their very best,
many others have to deal with
the realisation that they did not have per-
formed well enough to pass or qualify for
their chosen field of study.
This is traditionally a harrowing period
for matriculants who feel that under-per-
formance could sound the death-knell for
their hopes, dreams and aspirations, says
Dr Felicity Coughlan, director of The Inde-
pendent Institute of Education, SAs larg-
est and most accredited private higher ed-
ucation provider.
These pupils now need all the emo-
tional guidance and support they can get
from those around them, particularly as it
is essential that they regain a sense of per-
spective, she says.
Coughlan adds that although disap-
pointment, anger and anxiety may charac-
terisethefirstresponsesfollowingunsatis-
factory results, the sooner people are able
to move to a solution orientation in the
face of disappointment, the quicker solu-
tions - which do exist - will be identified.
Given enough space and support,
most young people will regain a sense of
control when they are able to make a ratio-
nal decision about how to proceed.
Options available to pupils who did not
do as well as they hoped, include:
WRITING SUPPLEMENTARY EXAMS
Here, consultation with the school is
best as there are very limited circumstanc-
es under which these are available for ma-
triculants. But where they do exist, they
must obviously be leveraged. Many institu-
tions will accept students provisionally if
they are eligible for a supplementary ex-
amination, but succeeding in that exami-
nation is then required to remain regis-
tered, explains Coughlan.
REPEATING THE YEAR
Where the gap between what you
want to do and how well you did is so big
that the doors are all closed, repeating the
year is an option. There are things to take
intoconsiderationthough.Nowmaybethe
time to be realistic about your own ability
to achieve the goal you set. In my case, for
instance, no matter how much I wanted to,
I was never going to be able to do well
enough in Maths to be an engineer.
The second thing is to understand that
if you are going to repeat the year, you must
know exactly what you need to achieve. It
may be prudent to redo everything, but on
the other hand perhaps smarter to bank
the few excellent marks you did get. Be
clinical and analytical in mapping what
you need.
The third thing is to think about where
and how you are going to repeat. Depend-
ing on your age and school policy, you could
return to the school you have just left; or
you could enrol full or part time in a school
focused on either matric or the last few
years of schooling.
CONSIDER ANOTHER HIGHER EDUCA-
TION INSTITUTION
Coughlan says that if learners did not
do well enough to be accepted for their
chosen studies at their preferred institu-
tion, they should examine all the other op-
tions out there.
These should include both private and
public institutions. Remember that South
Africa has only one quality assurance sys-
tem, so if you enrol at a registered and ac-
credited institution, there are lots of op-
tions still open in the private sector, which
may suit you even better in terms of the
level of focus and student support you will
receive.
CONSIDER A DIFFERENT COURSE OR
PART-TIME STUDY
While it may be too late to register at
a public institution, private institutions of-
ten continue to accept enrolments if they
have space left, and they generally offer a
range of exciting degree, diploma and cer-
tificate courses.
Full qualifications are however not
your only option, Coughlan notes. You
may also want to look at focused training
or short courses.
CONSIDER VOLUNTEER OR OTHER
WORK OPPORTUNITIES
It may well be that you need to spend
the year working - perhaps while studying
part time, says Coughlan.
Opportunities to volunteer at commu-
nity based organisations - full or part time
dependingonyourpersonalcircumstances
- should also be considered, said
Coughlan.

NFLATION and the rising cost of
providing quality tertiary educa-
tion has forced someKwaZulu-Na-
tal universities to drive up fees beyond
10%.
University of KwaZulu-Natal in-
creased both tuition and accommoda-
tion fees by 12% this year, and the
sharp rise will see parents forking out
once-off registration payments of
R3 750 for courses and an additional
R2 750 fee for students requiring ac-
commodation.
University spokesperson Lesiba
Seshoka said the increment was in-
spired by careful consideration of the
social circumstances of students and
wider consultation with university
stakeholders.
Inflation has negatively affected
theallocationtotheuniversityfromthe
state, making the current tuition fees
paidbystudentsinadequate,shesaid.
It is imperative that adequate fi-
nancial resources are available to en-
sure our degrees remain highly com-
petitive and respected globally.
The institution received more than
90 000 applications for the 8 400
available spaces in the undergraduate
academic programmes.
It provides accommodation for
12 086studentsat on-campusandoff-
campus residences.
Eachyear there isalwaysmorede-
mand than supply for on-campus ac-
commodation.Tohelpcurbthematter,
the universitymakes use of private ac-
commodation in and around our cam-
puses.
Fees at the Durban University of
Technology (DUT) increased by 10%
for both tuition and accommodation,
and Mangosuthu University of Tech-
nology(MUT)increasedits feesbynine
percent for tuition alone.
DUTs registration fee has gone up
to R3 420 for annual students and
R2 100 for semester students.
If prospective students seekuniver-
sity accommodation, they will need to
double the registration fee.
University registrar Professor
Thenjiwe Meyiwa said the institution
received 81 518 applications for just
7 200 spaces available for first-year
students.
Meyiwa said the institution leases
private buildings for student accom-
modation.
Fees charged for accommodation
in these buildings [leased] and range
from R20 000 to R24 000 per annum.
In the Durban Centre, DUT has 4 956
beds. In theMidlands Centre, we have
2 897 beds. These include leased
beds.
The MUT registration fee remains
R2 000forannualstudentsandR1 000
for semester students.
Spokesperson Lan Mzimela said
theyreceivedover20 000applications
for 2 000 spaces available.
Wearereadyforregistrationaswe
started preparing as early as Septem-
ber. We have moved to a bigger venue
[for registration] and our systems are
set up, he said.
University of Zululand spokesper-
sonNomaZondo said fees are likely to
goup, but said the council and the Stu-
dent Representative Council have not
met to discuss the way forward.
Unfortunately, the issueof feeshas
not been finalised, she said.
UnisaspokespersonMartinRamot-
shelasaidtheyreceived168 400appli-
cations last year, made up of 93 739
new applicants, and 74 661 returning
students.
From applications received,
89 046 met the minimum require-
ments. All these applicants will be ac-
commodatedduring the current regis-
trationperiod,providedtheystillsatis-
fy the admission requirements.
The universities said students can
register online to avoid long queues.

Busy season for pawn shops
FEVER REPORTER
THE new year is traditionally a busy season
for pawn shops as people try to recover from
overspending. Local pawn shops say this
year is no different.
We were very busy over December. Peo-
ple mostly bought stuff and business picked
up a little bit, says Christo Nienaber. They
bought mostly televisions, speakers, cell-
phones, laptops and iPads, he adds.
While pawning was slow over Decem-
ber, it escalated after Christmas. People
spend wildly in Christmas and then need to
pawn. About 60% of customers return for
their items the following month and 20%
will pay interest to keep their items on pawn
for another month, while 20% goes on sale,
he says.
Nienaber says the biggest problem in the
industry is that people try to sell phones that
are on contract. The phone then gets black-
listed and cant be resold.
Paul Wilson says during his 14 years in the
Wilson says January and February are big
pawning months with children going back to
university and school.
Gold is a very pawnable item it is small
and easy to deal with. Other top pawn items
are televisions, laptops and cellular phones,
which he stopped taking because of the
blacklisting issue.
His biggest concern is the way police deal
with stolen goods.
A fairly low number of items are being
reportedasstolen.Inmostcasesitemsbeing
sold as stolen is when someone took it from
their employers, he says.
Items are, from a legal aspect, only
stolen if the case goes to court and items are
recognised as stolen goods, but in many cas-
es the police take it upon themselves to re-
possess stolen goods and hand it back to the
claimant, but they have no authority to do
that.
SAPS PRO Captain Charlene van der
Spuy says: If someone reports a house-
breaking or robbery and the owner identifies
it as stolen property at the second-hand
dealer, a SAPS officer can repossess the sto-
len goods with the case number as evi-
dence.
