THEyouth ofward 17 inMlungisi barricadedthe main street in their ward demanding tobe given jobs by their ward councillor, Ma-bhuti Ndaliso, on Friday.

The angry residents claimed that Ndalisogave jobs in local projects to his friends andhis favourites.Motorists had to be diverted to other roads

as protesters used tyres to close the mainstreet in the old location.Mlungisi police hadto intervene and ask the protesters to openthe road so that the cars could move.They agreed to open one lane but refused

to stop burning the tyres until the fire fightercame and extinguished the fire.Speaking on behalf of more than 30 young

people who protested in the street, MphoTose and Inathi Poni said they had decidedto close the street after a number ofmeetingswith the councillor.“We raised the issue of jobs that are given

to friends and the people from the same fami-lies. After a number of meetings with him hesaid he would get back to us but he nevercame back,” Poni said.“There are people who come from the same

house with the same surname who are work-

ing, but we are not given a chance to work,”said Poni.Tose said there’s a street that has seven

people that are working while in some thereis not a single person working in the projects

in the ward.“There are people who are cleaning the

street andwearenowseeing that there is con-struction work done at the small businessthat burnt down two years ago.We see people

working, but we don’t know how the employ-ment in both those areas was done,” Tosesaid.She said there are poor people in the ward,

yet they are not considered for the jobs.There are also those living in mud housesand none of them are working.Ndaliso said he had held meetings asking

them to register for the jobs.“Most of the people who protested did not

register for the jobs in our data base,” hesaid.Ndaliso said there were jobs for three peo-

ple in theward andhe asked one of the peopleto go and apply.“She called her two family members and

they were all hired; that is one of the reasonsthat they were protesting. We sat with thecommunity and explained that to them. Wemade a list of people who are going to behired in the projects in the ward. Recentlywe took two people from the group to hirethem for the small business project,”Ndalisosaid.He said the protest is a result of the politi-

cal infights within the ward.“People are causing divisions within the

ward and promising people jobs even thoughthey arenot yet in council. There is a politicalinfluence behind the protest,” he said.

TWO of the five men accused of robbingDaks International of close to R1 milliononFebruary 11, 2012 denied being involvedin the robbery.

During the robbery five men enteredDaks International in Cathcart RoadQueenstown, when the store was about toopen.They held the storemanager and securi-

ty guard at gun point and robbed the guardof his gun before taking close to R1 millionin cash from the shop.Mkhuthazi Gxaleka and Ayanda Mafen-

uka were the last accused to testify in thecase in the Queenstown Regional Court onFriday.The other three accused are Musa Mu-

nake, Luyanda Myalwa and Oupa Mapho-sa.After their testimony the case was post-

poned for arguments to August 12, 2016.Mafenuka, who is a taxi owner from Co-

fimvaba, denied during his testimony thathe was called Oros and claimed that he on-ly heard about the name when he was ar-rested.Mafenuka said on the day of the robbery,

he was coming from Cape Town and decid-ed to go to his uncle’s house at Ezibeleni.“I packed the car and went to sleep.

When I woke up the car would not start.I then asked my uncle to take me to Cofim-vaba because I was late for a traditionalceremony that was scheduled to start at1pm,” he said.Mafenuka said there is nothing that con-

nects him with the robbery as he did noteven know the other accused.“I continued with my job until I was ar-

rested in July that year. I was taken to thearmy base where I was assaulted until Ifainted,” he said.Mafenuka denied that he owned the

number that received calls from his co-ac-cused’s alleged cell phone.State prosecutor Nceba Ntelwa said the

phone records were tracked and showedthat Mafenuka was in Cofimvaba, went toLusikisiki and then Queenstown on theday of the robbery.Ntelwa said he also received a call from

LuyandaMyalwa.Mafenuka, however, de-nied that, claiming that he does not knowthe number and Myalwa.“He never called me because he does not

know me. I have lost a lot since my arrestand I don’t even have a single taxi now,”he said.Mafenuka andMyalwa have been in cus-

tody for four years since their arrest.Ntelwa toldMafenuka that the cellphone

number belongs to him. “Theway itmovedfrom February 10, 2012 up to the day of therobbery on February 11 clearly shows thatit is yours. You left your Quantum at youruncle’s place because you wanted to getaway from Queenstown,” he said.Gxaleka, a qualified teacher and a ward

committee member from Ezibeleni, wasthe last accused to take the witness stand.He denied any involvement in the rob-

bery. “I don’t know the accused and I knownothing about the case asnothing connectsme with the committing of the offence. Iwas arrested in Whittlesea on July 25 andthe police recovered nothing fromme,”Gxaleka said.Gxaleka said the number that was used

in the commissioning of the offence wasthe number that he used to use before itgot lost in 2013.Gxaleka said he had registered his num-

ber with RICA in 2009 before the soccerworld cup and he lost it in 2013.He said he does not knowwhy hewas ar-

rested for the case because he is innocent.“When I was arrested the number was

withmywife and Iwasusing anothernum-ber,” he said.

THE Department of Co-operative Governanceand Traditional Affairs working together withthe Provincial House of Traditional Leaders of-ficially launched the 2016 initiation season atthe Sandringham Sport Grounds.

Speaking during the event, house of tradi-tional leaders chairperson chief Ngangomhla-ba Matanzima said the aim of the event was toannounce the official start of the initiation sea-son.“People must know that they can’t just send

boys to the initiation school without the initia-tion period being officially opened and an-nounced. People must go to their chiefs and re-port when they are about to send their boys tothe initiation school,” he said.Matanzima said parents must start sending

boys in groups to the initiation school as partof educating them to become men.“Allboysmustbeexaminedbydoctorsbefore

going to the school. If they are ill, the doctorscan then treat thembefore they go to themoun-tain. This will help in the fight against initiatedeaths in this district,” he said.Matanzima said single mothers must start

working with the initiates’ uncles when theyare sending their children to the initiationschool.“If they have to usemedication, theymust be

allowed to bring themedication to the initationschool as instructed by their doctors. Initiatesdie because of boys who think they knowmorethan their own parents.He said another cause of these deathswas the

fact that initiateswere not givenwater. He saidinitiates must be given water because that cus-tom was used to train initiates for the warwhere they will spend days without drinkingwater. Matanzima said now there are no warsand things have changed.“Because of climate change, the weather

changed in December and led to the dehydra-tion of initiates. A total of 46 initiates died intheEasternCape (last year) ofwhich 18 of thosewere fromtheChrisHaniDistrictMunicipality

in the Thembu region,” he said.Matanzima said old people, who used to be

the traditional nurses, have moved away fromthe initiation ritual and now it has been takenover by criminals, which leads to the deaths.“Initiates are dying because the ritual is not

done by old people to children, but by childrento other children. Every chiefmust have a com-mittee formed bymen and the committee mustvisit initiatesonadailybasis,”Matanzimasaid.He said initiates arenow taught prison terms

andendup in jail because they followwhat theyare taught in the initiation schools. “Now wehave young children with criminal records be-cause of what they are taught in initiationschools.“Women are asking us what are we teaching

our children in the initiation schools becauseit changes their lives. They come out and disre-spect female teachers and I am asking for ourchiefs to lead the people and show them theway,” Matanzima said.He said chiefs must visit initiates in order to

keep their dignity. “The people must put morepressure on chiefs so that they visit initiates.Womenplay ahuge role in the initiationof chil-dren,” he said.“It is not a crime when a boy wants to go to

initiation school, but they must not be victimsof crime from other children. Men have the du-ty to make young initiates men. They mustteach them not to beat women,” he said.Matanzima appealed to local churches to call

boys and talk to them before they go to initia-tion school.Chris Hani District Youth Council chairper-

sonMomeleziMpembasaid familiesplayaveryimportant role in the initiation of boys.“We would like to look at the education that

is given to young boys at initiation schools be-cause that is where men are made.MzukisiKepe from theDepartment of Educa-

tionsaid theyhave21menwhowillmonitor ini-tiates in some districts of the EasternCape thatare affected by initiate deaths.Kepe said the districts that are affected are

Queenstown, Mthatha, Libode, Lady Frere,Lusikisiki and Mount Frere.

RHAWUTINI informal settlements and sur-rounding areas are in a bid to combat the highincidence of multi-drug-resistant tuberculosis(TB) in the Queenstown area.

In Southern Africa the influenza season be-ginsinMayandJuneandasaresultof thismanypeople are coughing. The Lukhanji Departmentof Health has, however, warned that not everycough is attributable to cold and that it could beTB.A group of health practitioners are bringing

mobile clinics to thecommunityandrecentlyvi-sited Rhawutini informal settlement and sur-rounding areas where they provided primary

health services under gazebos that they had setup.Mandisa Sitonga, who is a Health Promotion

Manager at Lukhanji, said the outreach wouldcontinue for the whole month.“We started in areas which we identified as

hotspots, but that doesn’t mean we will not goto other areas.Wewill also be providing the ser-vice at taxi ranks – in particular the Hewu taxirank and Lady Frere taxi rank,” said Sitonga.The outreach renders health services such as

TB screening, blood pressure screening, HIV/AIDS testing and counselling, child health in-cluding immunization, VitaminA and deworm-ing, as well as sex education and the promotionof safe sex to those who can’t abstain.“Initially this campaign was meant for TB

screening due to the outbreak of the MDR-TB(multi-drug-resistant tuberculosis) but wecouldn’t sideline other much-needed health ser-vices,” added Sitonga.NokuzolaMene, who is anMDR-TB specialist

at Philani Clinic, saidMDR-TBwas perpetuatedbyovercrowding, improperventilationandlackof knowledge about TB.“We have our specially targeted areas such

as squatter camps and townships where you of-ten find more than six people living under oneroof – and at times in the same room – with alimited flow of fresh air.“Even in public transport people experience

a limited flow of fresh air. People get crammedup ina 20-seater buswith all thewindows closedresulting in them literally breathing each oth-

er’s breath,which iswhywewill bevisiting taxiranks as well,” said Menene.Residents of Rhawutini visited the mobile

clinic in numbers asmanyof them find that get-ting to clinics is a battle.“This was very helpful because not all of us

can go to the local health centres. Some can’teven walk, so this door-to-door initiative willsurely make a difference.“There are kids who look after their sick and

bedridden grandparents here. Those kids caneasily contract communicable diseases such asthis TB they are talking about,” said VuyisileNgemntuwhowent for various check-ups at thesite.Mene urged people to get tested for TB should

they start coughing.

THE Department of Sport, Recrea-tion, Arts and CultureMEC PemmyMajodina asked the members of theChurch of God and Saints of Christ,also known as the Israelites, to beunited in order for the church toprosper.

Majodina was speaking duringthe commemoration of 95 years ofthe Bulhoek massacre in Ntabe-themba last week.On May 24, 1921, the security po-

lice killed 180 people who were fol-lowers of the prophet Enoch Mgiji-ma and were gathered at Bulhoeknear Queenstown to pray.Majodina told the people who at-

tended the celebrations that al-though 95 years had passed sincethemassacre they still feel the pain.She called on all the breakaway

factions of the Israelites to beunitedfor the sake of the church’s history.“Fighting must stop in this

church and unity must prevail be-cause unity is power. We are hereto put that unity in this church andthat is why we asked all of you tobe here because there is no winnerand no loser when we are talkingabout the history of this church,”she said.She asked the members of the

church to be strong for peace, pros-perity and for the development ofthe church.“You fought for justice and free-

dom; youmust be united so that thehistory of this church is not told byother people,” Majodina said.She said the Bulhoekmassacre is

one of the biggest massacres in thecountry.“Out of all the massacres in

South Africa none of them is as bigas theBulhoekmassacre,” she said.Majodina thanked the Chris

Hani District Municipality forchampioning the liberation route.Majodina said the church fought

for the liberation of South Africaand that the history of the countryis not complete without the men-tioning of the Israelites.“This is a rich history and what

is left is for the members of thischurch to preserve this history be-cause it is written in blood. Peopledied for this freedom,” she said.“You were fighting for your land

and not to be forcefully removedfrom it.We as Africans allowed peo-ple who came here in three ships,we allowed them into our land, butwe did not know that we allowed asnake into our house,” he said.Majodina said the 200members of

the Israelite church were killed forthe place they grew up and prayed

in. “We have learnt from the Israel-ites that if you standby the truth theLord will not let your suffer. WhenEnoch Mgijima prayed to God, hewas answered,” she said.Majodina said after August 3, Lu-

khanji municipality, Tsolwana mu-nicipality and Inkwancamunicipal-ity will be merged and named asEnoch Mgijima municipality.

“This is an honour for the Israel-ites,” she said.Lukhanji municipality executive

mayor Nozibele Makanda said thefights outside the church must notaffect the celebrations.“Churches have the duty to fight

for development in this area.We arestill looking in growing thechurch’s heritage, tourism and de-

velopment in this area,” she said.Makanda said Ntabethemba is lo-

cated in ward 14, a ward that is vi-brant and has huge development.“It is my pleasure to welcome you

all, but let us not forget the lessonsthat wemust learn from the historyof this church. This has taught usthat justice and peace prevail,” shesaid.

Xasa was addressing the officialsand the residents of ward 26 andward 15 who packed the tent at thenewly built state of the art Bonkolofacility.She urged the community to take

care of the facility and take respon-sibility for it.“This project will help in the eco-

nomic growth of the region and itwill also help communities take re-sponsibility for changing theirlives,” she said.Xasa said they have other pro-

jects that promote the rich historyof South Africa in the Chris Hanidistrict and that there is nowaneedtodevelop theareas andbuildmallsand places for tourist accommoda-tion in order to attract more tour-ists.“Tourism creates the connection

with the people of the world and itis that connection that helps us tobringmore tourists to thecountry,”she said.She said the damwould also help

families in giving them a space tospend quality recreational time to-gether.“The tourism department builds

social coercion; it also builds fami-lies. As the department we are

building jobs and equipping peoplewith skills,” Xasa said.“I want you to look after these

dams because the dams are ourwealth. We want to make this damto be the ocean of Komani.Wewantto give the people from this area,who can’t go to the ocean, their ownocean here in Komani,” Xasa said.Xasa encouraged women to use

the recreation facilities at the damto create jobs.“You must start to think big

about this project.Wewant tomakesure that we create more projectslike these, working close with thepeople as government, to createmore jobs to grow the economy inthe rural areas,” Xasa said.“Lukhanji has a vision and tour-

ism has been prioritised here. If wecan prioritise tourism we can turnourmunicipality around.Theprob-lemhere is thatourhistoryandher-itage is celebrated in Gauteng. TheEastern Cape is the most beautifulprovince, yet it is the least devel-oped,” she said.Xasa said she was proud to be

part of the launch and hopes thatthe people who benefited from theproject with skill development canuse them and form co-operatives.“Those with building skills must

be used to build newRDP houses in

the area and those trained inhouse-keeping can open their own busi-nesses. Let’swork together becausethis is part of responsible tourism,”she said.She said the department of tour-

ismwill take care of the infrastruc-ture at the dam and keep it clean.Xasa called on the people of the

Chris Hani region to come and usethe Bonkolo dam as their holidaydestination.Lukhanji executive mayor Nozi-

bele Makanda said the BonkoloDamisnot only for thepeople ofKo-mani but for the whole of the ChrisHani region.“This is our ocean inKomani.We

want to make this place beautifuland there is no reason why thisplace cannot be like Disney Worldand a family destination of choicefor the people of this district,” shesaid.Makanda said they want the peo-

ple to enjoy the place with theirfamilies because happy familiesmake a happy country.“I challenge event organisers to

come here and organise events thatwill unite the people. Our next stopis Oxkraal Dam in Whittlesea. Wewant to make facilities like theseavailable in Oxkraal as well,” shesaid.

THE Ilitha Community Psychological Ser-vices Project fromEzibeleni hasharvestedtheir first crops with the aim of inspiringpeople from the townships to use their gar-dens and feed their families.

Ilitha Community Psychological Servi-cesProject founder,NomsaNgeketho, saidthey want to show the people of Ezibeleniand other townships that people can eathealthy vegetables without buying them.“People always think of rural areas

when it comes to farming and develop-ment. We want to change that and showthe people that we at Ezibeleni are able toplant andharvest vegetables atEzibeleni,”she said.Ngxeketho said they are working in two

groups. The one group consists of sevenpeople – five men and two women – whilethe second group consists of ten women.Both these groups are planting and sellingtheir vegetables to the community of Ezi-beleni.She said they receive support fromAfri-

care, who helps themwithmonitoring andtraining on how to use natural resourceswhen planting and how they can developtheir project.

“Wearenotusingchemicals or chemicalfertilisers on our plants; we are only usingmanure,” Ngxeketho said.She said they started ploughing at their

offices but due to crime in their area, theywent to the local clinic to ask for somespace for the project.“We were given this place and here our

products are safe and we can look afterthem. We received training from Africareonhowtoplant and takecareof ourvegeta-bles,” she said.She said they are now harvesting spin-

ach, lettuce, broccoli, beetroot and cab-bage.“We are trying to fight poverty in our ar-

eas by organising people to plant food thatwill not help them but the community aswell. We want to encourage the communi-ty to buy fresh vegetables from us ratherthan from shops,” she said.Africare official Gcobani Mkhwela said

as Africare they are supportingmany pro-jects in the Chris Hani region.“These people are producing organic

products as they are using no chemicals intheir products,” he said.Mkhwela said as Africare they are visit-

ing the project on a regular basis to givethemskills andadvise themonhow to takecare of the crops.

IN an effort to address the problem of climatechange, which is inmanyways caused by thecutting of trees which absorb pollutants andreduce soil erosion, staff of His Grace Collegespent their Environmental Day plantingtrees at the school’s premises.

Students showed their environmentalawareness as they explained the benefits ofhaving trees in our communities to Express.Sithando Mandlendoda, who aspires to be

a farmer after being inspired by his fatherwho is also a farmer, said plants are general-ly important for our livelihood as they don’tonly provide us with food but they also sup-ply us with fresh air.“I just loveplantsbecause theygiveus food

to eat while they absorb the carbon dioxidethat we exhale and release oxygen so we canlive healthily.“But my favourite plants are flowers be-

cause they produce nice scents,” said Man-dlendoda.Lutho Marhofula, a Grade 10 pupil at the

school, added that they had learnt from thesession the importance of trees and how totake care of the whole environment.Principal of the school, Jesika Mayekiso,

said the initiative was also aimed at intro-ducing young pupils to farming.“With such projects we want to introduce

and propel pupils to also consider careers infarming but we are not forcing anyone.“By participating in the planting they

learn to produce food, such as fruit and vege-tables at an early age,” said Mayekiso.

THE Castle Milk Stout Unpluggedcollaboration with local musicianswas launched at the beginning ofMay.

Monthly Unplugged sessions willsee a variety of leading local artistsperforming while Mi Casa frontmanand chef, J’Something, cooks updishes inspired by South Africa’s fa-vourite stout. The first artist wasThembisile Ntaka, who rocked theairwaves with offerings from herlatest album, Thula.

Smooth music and smooth foodwere the order of the day at the KayaFM studios in Johannesburg, whereJ’Something created food magic forThembisile Ntaka and in-studioguests.

“Using beer in food really is aboutflavour. The Castle Milk Stout add-ed a wonderful smooth and smokyflavour to the dishes,” J’Somethingsaid.

“The roast chicken gets a beerplugged into it, which steams thechicken so well with the flavours ofthe beer. I poured Castle Milk Stout

into the potatoes and bacon, this notonly gives a beautiful and delicioussauce but also carries through thesmokiness I was looking for.”

He was inspired to create this deli-cious chocolate mousse when he lis-tened to Thembisile’s music. “WhenI listened to the artist and thoughtwhat she is about I pictured some-thing very smooth and elegant. Trythe mousse while listening to hertunes and you’ll see how the two goso well together.”

For those who would like to makethe dishes at home, here are therecipes as well as video demonstra-tions:

THE South African NationalBlood Service (SANBS) com-memorates World Blood DonorDay on June 14. This is an inter-national day of recognition ofblood donors globally. The themefor World Blood Donor Day thisyear is “Blood connects us all”.

In the face of major communi-cable disease epidemics SouthAfrica has maintained a high de-gree of blood safety and a reliablesupply of blood countrywide.

This is largely because it fol-lows key recommendations ofthe World Health Organization(WHO) on good blood servicemanagement: reliance on unpaidvoluntary donors, universal test-ing of donated blood, and reduc-tion of unnecessary transfu-sions.SANBS is yielding positive results acrossthese areas:

•It is one of the 65 countries in theworld that get 100 percent of their blood

from voluntary donors who are not remu-nerated. The WHO has a target that by2020 all countries will adopt this model.

•SANBSworks closely with healthcareworkers who do transfusions at health fa-cilities to heighten awareness about thecorrect use of blood, thus reducing wast-age of this precious resource.

•To keep blood safe SANBS tests everysingle unit of blood collected daily forpathogens that cause HIV, Hepatitis Band C and syphilis which are highly preva-lent in the country. South Africa is one offewmiddle-income countries that run nu-cleic acid amplification testing (NAT)which detects the pathogens responsiblefor these epidemics by significantly re-ducing the length of the window period.

This is an investment that hasgiven many accident victims,people suffering from blood-re-lated diseases and mothers in la-bour, the opportunity to livehealthy lives.

Today SANBS has over 400 000donors on its database and thenumber is growing.

“SANBS is also getting young-

er as we are seeing the propor-tion of donations from our youthincrease. We have invested intaking a targeted approach to do-nor education and communitysupport that moves beyond theneed for blood as medical re-sponse but also a unifying act oflove and care,” said SANBS com-munications manager, VanessaRaju.

TOYOTA’S “tougher-er” Hilux isriding high on the news that thelatest version once again toppedthe sales charts in May.

A market-leading tally of 3 185Hilux units helped Toyota retainits number-one status with anoverall sales volume just shy of10 000 units (9 642) for the fifthconsecutive month this year.

This puts Toyota 44,5% or 2 964units ahead of its nearest compet-itor in the retail race. It alsomeans that Toyota currently en-joys a market share of 22,5% – a

record high for this year.Calvyn Hamman, senior vice-

president of sales and marketingfor Toyota South Africa Motors,provides some interesting in-sights on this month’s results:“Taking a closer look at the Hiluxnumbers reveals that 90% of thesales, which equates to 3 200units, is via the dealer channel;once again reinforcing just howpopular this vehicle is with pri-vate buyers.

“I’m also happy to report thatSouth Africa’s love affair withthe Fortuner is stronger than ev-er. In its first full month on themarket, this all-new model

notched up an incredible 1 333sales. It’s a fairly even spreadacross all the variants, but note-worthy is the uptick in demandfor the 2.4 GD-6 4x2 models; indic-ative of the growing popularity ofFortuner among trendy citydwellers.”

Hamman also predicts that hy-brid sales will gain traction, albe-it off a low base, due to the recentsharp rise in fuel prices.

Toyota and Lexus have morehybrid models than any of theother brands and interest in thissegment of the market will nodoubt increase with the immi-nent launch of the all-new Prius.

VOLKSWAGEN has revived the Bee-tle Baja Bug with the introduction ofthe Beetle Dune, the first crossoverBeetle derivative in more than 80years.

The production Beetle Dune waspremiered at the 2015 Los AngelesAuto Show.

The Dune’s striking design is en-hanced by its 18-inch wheels and thewider and lifted body, all of which re-vive the characteristics of the legend-ary dune buggies.

In South Africa, the Beetle Dunewill only be available with 1.4 TSI en-gine with 110kW power output. It ismated to a 7-speed DSG transmis-sion.

The Beetle Dune has a unique andpowerful character with its off-roadlooks, new bumper designs, front dif-fuser, rear diffuser, lifted body andnew for the model range, Canyon 18-inch alloy wheels.

The front end has been extensivelyredesigned. What remain unchangedare its basic iconic style and the lay-out of the typical round headlights.

The side profile features black off-road accents and there is an empha-sis on the wheel-well extensionswhich have been designed with oneouter and one inner radius.

Also creating a charismatic imagein side profile are the black side-trimpanels (stylised “Beetle” runningboards) and the side sills which arefinished in Reflex Silver. Above theside panels there is a black doublestripe that extends to the “DUNE”signature at the front. An elegant fea-ture is the anodised aluminium sidewindow trim.

Three elements define the image ofthe rear body: the large rear spoiler,the newly developed LED tail lightsand the newly designed bumper. Thestandard rear spoiler, painted inglossy black at the top and in the car’sexterior colour at the bottom, opti-mises downforce at the rear axle. Thenew LED tail lights generate an en-tirely new night design.

The Beetle Dune can be ordered inone of three colours, Pure White, Re-flex Silver and new Sandstorm Yel-low. The Beetle Dune can also be or-dered with an optional black-paintedroof.

InteriorThe instrument panel and dash-

board combine innovative technolo-gies and user controls with paintedsurfaces and a glove compartmentlike the one in the air-cooled Beetle.It offers plenty of space and comfortfor four persons.

In addition to visual customisa-tion, other extended interior/func-tional features of the Beetle Dune in-clude automatic headlight activa-tion, manual lumbar support infront, illuminated make-up mirrors,cruise control system, automaticallydimming rear-view mirror, rain sen-sor for the windshield wipers, ParkDistance control (front and rear) andHill Hold Assist.

Optional features include sportseats with Vienna leather in Titani-um Black, Bi-Xenon headlights withseparate LED daytime runninglights.

InfotainmentThe Beetle Dune comes with the

latest generation of Volkswagen info-tainment systems. Similar to other

Beetle derivatives, Dune is offeredwith the standard 5-inch touchscreenradio/CD Composition Colour sys-tem and optional 6.5-inch Composi-tion Media and Discover Media withsatellite navigation systems.

The standard system, the Composi-tion Colour, has very good soundwith eight loudspeakers, CD playerwith MP3, SD card slot, Bluetoothconnectivity, USB and AUX-IN ports.

The Fender sound system is of-fered in conjunction with Composi-tion Media and Discover Media. TheFender sound system has two tweet-ers installed in the mirror trianglesand two in the rear side trim panels.The woofers are located in the frontdoors, and there are other woofers inthe rear interior side trim panels. Inaddition, a subwoofer in a closed bassbox is integrated in the trunk. Theheart of the sound system is a 10-channel amplifier with Class A/Boutput amplifiers and 400 watts ofoutput power.

The customer also gets adjustableambient interior lighting in threecolours (white, red, blue). Along withindirect illumination in the doorshoulder, it also includes a light ringaround the loudspeakers in thedoors.

MAHINDRA South Africa is broadening itsmodel offering in the country with the in-troduction of an innovative newcomer thatcombines the manoeuvrability and agilityof a small hatchback with the raised stanceand versatility of a compact sport utility ve-hicle (SUV).

The Mahindra KUV100, which makes itsSA debut this month, is a compact SUV thattargets buyers of conventional small hatch-backs, but adds the rugged personality, tall-er stance and all-round versatility moreusually associated with SUVs.The global downscaling trend has al-

ready seen many markets showing healthysales gains in demand for smaller, moreeconomical cars, usually at the expense oflarger models.At the same time, the SUVmarket contin-

ues to show rapid growth.The new KUV100 meets the expectations

of both trends in a single, innovative prod-uct.Speaking at the media launch, Dr Pawan

Goenka, executive director, Mahindra &Mahindra Ltd, said, “The launch of KUV100in South Africa is a defining moment in theautomotive journey of Mahindra in thecountry.“KUV100 is our first foray into ground-up

petrol engine and with it we are defininga new SUV sub-segment and targeting anew customer group.“South Africa is an important market for

Mahindra and I am sure that with thelaunch of the KUV100, we will be able tobring new experiences to our customers.”“There is no doubt that the demand for

SUVs is on the rise, both from a lifestyleappeal and a practicality perspective,” saidSanjoy Gupta, chief executive officer of Ma-hindra SA.“However, SUVs are typically too expen-

sive to purchase and to operate for budget-conscious buyers.“The KUV100 seeks to offer access to the

benefits of SUV ownership, but is linked tothe affordability and lower running costsof a small hatchback. The result is a vehiclewith broad appeal offering a strong valueproposition.”

ExteriorAt 3 675 mm long, 1 715 mm wide and

1 635 mm tall, the KUV100 has chunky di-mensions that suit its SUV personality. Arelatively long 2 385 mm wheelbase sug-gests ample interior space relative to thevehicle’s overall length, while the front andrear tracks are generous at an identical1 490mm front and rear respectively.Higher-specification models boast fur-

ther sporty highlights such as a front grillewith chrome inserts, alloy wheels, silver-accentuated rear door handles, a roof-mounted antenna, and chrome-accentedfog lights front and rear.

EngineThe KUV100 is offered with a choice of

petrol and turbodiesel drivetrains. Petrolmodels are equipped with Mahindra’s own,all-new mFalcon G80 three-cylinder en-gine, featuring multipoint fuel injectionand dual variable valve timing.The lightweight, all-aluminium, 1 198cc

unit is credited with 61kW of maximum

power at 5 500 r/min, with an accompany-ing torque peak of 115Nm, achieved be-tween 3 500 and 3 600 r/min. Drive is to thefront wheels via a five-speed manual gear-box.For diesel fans, the KUV100 can also be

ordered with the new mFalcon D75 inter-cooled turbodiesel engine. The three-cylin-der mill features common-rail direct-injec-tion, an electronic waste gate and variablevane turbocharger technology.It produces a maximum power output of

57kW at 3 750 r/min, linked to a healthy190Nm of torque, sustained between 1 750and 2 250 r/min for brisk acceleration andovertaking.As in the case of the petrol-engined mod-

el, drive is to the front wheels via a five-speed manual gearbox.The flagship turbodiesel model offers a

very frugal fuel consumption with aclaimed combined cycle figure of just 4,4 li-tres/100 km. A Power/Eco mode function,as well a stop-start technology, assist inachieving these remarkably low figures.The petrol-powered KUV100 achieves an

impressive combined cycle fuel consump-tion figure of 5,9 litres/100 km, while theCO2 emissions rating is 139g/km.

InteriorThe cabin of the KUV100 offers accommo-

dation for up to five adults, thanks to therelatively long wheelbase.Generous glass areas and a floating dash-

board design further augment the interi-or’s airy ambience.The high seating position offers excellent

forward visibility and a commanding viewof the road ahead. Wide-opening doorsmake entry and exit from the cabin easy,with only minimal body bending requiredto get in and out.The joystick-inspired short-shift gear

lever is mounted in the dashboard for bothconvenient use and as a space-saving meas-ure, leaving a flat floor unencumbered bythe usual transmission tunnel. A twin-podinstrument cluster, fabric upholstery, asporty steering wheel and mood lightingare among the highlights, while pianoblack finishes endow higher-specificationmodels with a more premium feel.Specification levels vary depending on

model, but key features include a flat-fold-ing rear bench seat to boost luggage spacefrom 243 to 473 litres. A clever underfloorstorage area in the rear of the cabin pro-vides additional stowage.The KUV100 also features adjustable

headrests front and rear, tilt-adjustablesteering, arm rest-mounted cup holdersfront and rear, as well as one-litre bottleholders in the door pockets, and 12V acces-sory sockets for front and rear occupants.Power windows, central locking and an im-mobiliser system are standard across therange.

SafetyAll KUV100 models are equipped with

ABS anti-lock brakes with electronic brakeforce distribution (EBD) and corner brak-ing control (CBC) as standard, as well as du-al front airbags, a collapsible steering col-umn, and child safety locks on the reardoors

FORD’S tiny yet powerful 1.0-litre EcoBoostengine has been voted best in class at the In-ternational Engine of the Year Awards forthe fifth year in a row.

Judges praised the combination of driva-bility, performance, economy, refinementand technology that continues to set thestandard.The frugal three-cylinder EcoBoost en-

gine was named “Best Engine Under 1.0-li-tre” by a panel of 65 automotive journalists,from 31 countries, to win its class each and

every year since launch.This year it finished ahead of 32 competi-

tor engines, 19 more than it competedagainst in 2012. Significantly, 2015 also sawan increase in competition fromglobal auto-motivemanufacturers of sub 1.0-litre, turbo-charged engines with direct fuel injection.In 2014, the 1.0-litre EcoBoost became the

first engine to be named overall Internation-al Engine of the Year for a third time in arow, and also was in 2012 named “Best NewEngine.”“The 1.0-litre EcoBoostwas a game-chang-

er, and despite others following our lead, itremains the undisputed benchmark in its

class five years on,” said Joe Bakaj, vice-president, product development, Ford of Eu-rope.The 1.0-litre EcoBoost engine powers ve-

hicles in 72 countries worldwide.The technology of Ford’s EcoBoost petrol

engines is now being employed in the new-est down-sized diesel engine from Ford, the2.0-litre EcoBlue launched in the Ford Tran-sit earlier this year.Globally, Ford’s range of powerful yet fu-

el-efficient EcoBoost engines includes 1.5-li-tre, 1.6-litre, 2.0-litre and 2.3-litre four-cylin-der engines, and 2.7-litre and 3.5-litre V6 en-gines. The latter powers the all-newFordGT

supercar that will return to racing in LeMans later this month.“That it’s won the overall award three

times and keeps getting the jurors’ votesnowhighlights just how special Ford’s 1.0-li-tre EcoBoost is,” said Dean Slavnich, co-chairman of the 18th International Engineof the Year awards that were held in Stutt-gart,Germany, and editor-in-chief ofEngineTechnology International magazine.“It’s a fantastic testament to how down-

sizing and greater fuel efficiency needn’tmean sacrifice in other areas like power, re-finement and drivability, and can even helpenhance these elements.” Slavnich said.

and tore a cartilage in his knee during rugbymatches and then decided to give up rugby andmove on to weightlifting.The reason for this?“Rugby is much more dangerous than play-

ing around with heavy weights,” Katushabesaid.Weightlifting was actually the type of exerci-

se he did to be fit for rugby.“I did miss rugby at first, but not for long,”

he said.“IsuddenlyrealisedthatI likedthisalotmore

than rugby. My goal is now to take part in theWorldWeightlifting Championships next year,afterhavingachieved these two secondplaces.”He has done professional bench pressing for

only two years now.“You practise in such a way that you more

or less get an idea of what you can possiblyachieve. But I was still very surprised, proudandhappywhen I camesecond inbothcompeti-tions.“I wasn’t placed anywhere when I took part

in my first international championship – theWeightlifting Championships in Vancouver –so I am very happy that I managed to be placedsecond at two events.“It is proof that hard work pays off. The com-

petition was tough, but now I know that if Iwork harder, I can do even better,” Katushabesaid.

SEVEN South African boxers are going toAzerbaijan capital Baku for the Rio Olym-pic Games 2016 qualifiers.

The Baku qualifiers will feature boxersfrom all over the world who are hoping torepresent their countries in the Olympicsin Brazil.The South African team of boxers going

to Baku are Akani Puzi (91kg) from Lim-popo; Ayabonga Sonjica (56kg) from the

EC; Luvuyo Sizani (81kg) from the EC;Sikho Nqothole (52kg) from the EC; Sibu-siso Bandla (48kg) from the EC; AsandaGingqi (60kg) from the EC and SibusisoMalinga (64kg) from KZN. The coach isNkosinathi Hlwatshwayo of KZN.“This is a make-or-break for the South

African team, which we regard as the hid-den treasure of open (amateur) boxing inthis country,” South African NationalAmateur Boxing Organisation (Sanabo)president Andile Mofu said.“When we were planning in 2014, we

told these boxers that the target was towin the All-Africa Championships, go tothe Commonwealth Games in Moroccoand lastly to Baku in order to be consid-ered for theOlympics, and so far theyhavedone everything accordingly.”South Africa has never won any Olym-

pic boxing medal since its return to inter-national competitions.Mofu said hewas certain, however, that

Sanabo was not only taking a strong teamto Baku, but the team was ready to com-pete against the best in the world and con-tinue to represent South Africa in Rio.And, the boxers it seems, knew exactly

what the doctor required.“I held my studies in abeyance in order

to focus on boxing. The main aim is to goto the Olympics and bring back a goldmedal,” said Mthatha’s Sikho Nqothole,who is in Grade 12 at LuzukoHigh School.He said he was looking forward to the

trip to Baku as it was the only thing stand-ing in the way of his “ultimate dream” ofbringing a gold medal to South Africa.“The two things on my mind when I

started boxing in 2003 were to win anOlympic medal and to turn professional.We have had good physical and mentalpreparedness for the competitions thatweparticipated in since 2014. All we can saynow is, Baku here we come.”An upbeat Mofu said, “This is the team

that is surely going to bringmore thanonemedal back to South Africa.”

GOLDEN City Football Club thrashed Mqan-duli Ambassadors 3-0 during their SasolWom-en’sLeagueencounterat the IlingeStadiumonSaturday.

Golden City came to the game on a low noteafter suffering a 5-2 defeat at the hands of Cum-akala recently. But this week, the Ilinge Town-ship team wanted to prove a point against theMqanduli team.Being without their coach, Monde Mnyaka,

who was away with the Chris Hani districtboys U17 team at the provincial trials in But-terworth, the teamdidverywellwith thehomefans supporting them all the way.The game started with both teams creating

numerous chances but none of themmanagedto score.Mqanduli Ambassadors were the first to get

a clear chance after ten minutes in the firsthalf, but they wasted their chance.Golden City’s striker Okuhle Mayaba had a

few clear chances, but her first touch let herdown on a number of chances in the first half.With both teams playing brilliant football,

the first half ended in a stalemate.The second half was a different ball game,

as the home teamplayed commanding football

giving the visitors no chance to play the ball.Fifteenminutes into the secondhalf Okuh-

leMayaba broke the deadlock, when she net-ted the first goal past the Ambassadors goal-keeper.MqanduliAmbassadors tried toattack,but

solid defence from the Golden City defencekept them away from their goal posts.GoldenCitycreateda fewchancesandkept

on knocking at Mqanduli Ambassadors’post.Zikhona Simon’s superb strike from a far

range thirtyminutes into the secondhalf hadthehomecrowdapplaudingasCity ledby2-0.As if that lead was not enough, Mayaba

welcomedagreatpass fromSimon,withonlyfive minutes remaining in the second half.Shenicely shot theball past thevisitorskeep-er and sealed the game, giving the home sidea 3-0 win.Coach Mnyaka said this proves that his

team is gaining momentum and soon it willbe competing with the best teams in theleague.“We are now preparing for the next game

against All Star XI and we are prepared todo better than this,” he said.Mnyakasaidhis teamisnowworkinghard
