Addressing Toti High pupils on Monday 11 August, Doc Holman from Bad, said statistics show that Toti has the second biggest drug problem in KwaZulu-Natal.

Holman said their focus is to get rid of drug peddlers by gathering information and handing it to relevant authorities. He said Bad further aims to make people aware of drugs in the area, to bring in professionals to assist addicts, and raise funds for their cause. Holman encouraged pupils to talk to Bad’s youngest member, his daughter Bianca, a recovering heroin addict. “I started taking drugs when I was 14. I spent two years in rehab and when I decide’, but it doesn’t work that way,” says Bianca. “I won’t deny that it was fun in the beginning, but eventually the fun wears off and it is extremely hard to stop,” she stated.

Discordant behaviour atbeachfront meeting>> ‘Don’t you tell us what we can say. You work for us, not we for you — this is our town’

SETON THOMPSON>>[email protected]

ITwas intended tobeameeting tofeel the local community’s pulseon upgrading the Scottburgh

beachfront, but a component ofWednesday evening’s audience atScottburgh Hall, estimated at 300people, did their causeno favoursbyshouting down and abusing the ar-ea’s mayor and speaker.

In hiswelcoming speechUmdoniMayor Siyabonga Khwela startedwith an allusion to the history of ex-clusivity for a certain racial group inrelation toowningbusinesseson thebeach.Beforehecouldproceedtotheissue under discussion, he wasshouteddownbyelementsof theau-dience yelling “that was 20 yearsago” and jeering.

ShortlyafterwardsspeakerSykesNaidoo appealed for an embracingattitude towards determining forwhomthebeachfacilitiesareintend-ed but he was told “don’t you tell uswhatwecansay.Youworkforus,notwe for you— this is our town”. Thisdrew support from part of the audi-ence. While the man did not elabo-rate as to whom “our” referred, hewas perceived to be alluding topeople enjoying similar characteris-

tics to the overwhelming majoritypresent. Afterwards, several peoplepointed out to the Fever that thiscould backfire.

“The fact is that the hands on thelevers and purse strings no longershare the same characteristics asmostof thoseheretonight,”saidone.

“The municipality has made agenuine effort to gauge the commu-nity’s views, a gesture which shouldbe treated with due respect, notabuse,” said another.

Fortunately, the unhelpful re-marks were overtaken by the twopresenters from Royal HaskoningDHV getting on with the business inhand. They stressed that the inten-tions were not to radically alter thebeach’s natural attractions, but es-sentially to “open it up” to greaterpublic use and enjoyment.

Key features include greaterparticipation for cyclists and pedes-trians similar to Durban’s SnakePark area, retaining the caravan

park and opening that and thelagoon areas to greater public ac-cess.

However, costs, which were notdisclosed, could be the determiningfactor. Details of the scheme can besourced via [email protected] and the public is en-couraged to submit their views bynot later than 30 August to that ad-dress.

July crime report

SETON THOMPSON>>[email protected]

THE level of serious crimewithin theScottburgh police cluster declined byabout eight percent in July comparedwith June. Among themore amusingcontributions towards thiswasan in-cident in which a man contrived towedge himself between a windowframe and the burglar bars at his vic-tim’s home and literally fell into thearms of the law when released.

Burglary,armedrobberyandtheftof motor vehicles remained amongthe priority crimes and Scottburgh,Amandawe,ParkRynieandPenning-ton continued as areas of most con-cern. The seizure of 1 063 heroinstraws in one incident emphasisesthe ongoing threat presented bydrugs in thecommissionofmanycat-egories of crime.

Thelocalcourtsdealtwith86casesand—althoughthere isnodirectcor-relation over any limited, specific pe-riod between the numbers of crimescommitted and adjudicated — thisrepresents about 55% of crimes re-portedinthesameperiod.Of those86cases, about 43% resulted in convic-tionswhile4,6%werefoundnotguiltyand 29% were withdrawn by thestate.

A feature at both of the principalpolicereport-backmeetingsinthear-earemains the lackof resources,par-ticularly human. The perennial issueof crime and disorder on Scottburghmain beach was raised and the twoprincipal law enforcement agenciesmost involved pointed out the partplayed by manpower problems intheir perceived failure to adequatelycontrol the situation.

The SAPS is in the middle of a re-view of its resources in the area andthe Umdoni Protection Services rep-resentative undertook to pass on theconcerns to itsmanagement.Howev-er, the key problem in this respect isthe failure by the parties to agree onwhose responsibility it is to managelaw enforcement on the beach. Um-

doni’s attitude rightup to senior counciland managementlevels is that the fourmember-strongpro-tection services isnot a crime-fightingorganisation, but atrafficcontrolunit—in spite of the slogan“crime preventio”painted on its vans.SAPS contends thatits priority is majorcrime, not policingthe by-laws so anyhope of improve-ment until that dif-ference is resolved ispointless.

Women trained to assist abuse victimsTANIA SANDBERG>>[email protected]

THE Kingsburg Child andFamilyWelfare Society hosted atraining programme on gendersensitivity and domestic vio-lence at its offices on 12 August.

The programme is designedtoraiseawarenessaboutdomes-tic violence and victim empow-ermentamongserviceprovidersandcommunitiesand toprovideinformation about domestic vio-lence.

together and take action,” saysSandra Govender, senior socialworker.

‘Toti beer club’ getsUK recognition>> ‘We have tasted over 200 international beers over the years’

TANIA SANDBERG>>[email protected]

WHAT started as a joke betweenfriends 15 years ago, ended up asaUnitedKingdom-recognisedclub

recently when club members, “TheOlympians,” were awarded a certificate ofrecognition by Miller Brands in the UK fortheir “outstanding efforts in beer tasting”.

“Some 15 years ago we joked that ourwives have a book club, what could we do?Sowestartedthebeer-tastingclub,whichwejokingly called ‘The Olympians’ because weall used to be keen sportsmen,” saysGordonBateman from Amanzimtoti.

“The clubhasalwayshadeightmembersand we have tasted over 200 internationalbeers over the years and members meet onthe first Saturday of the month. The hostmember must buy two international beersfor tasting. We keep strict record of thenames of the beer and the rating. Membersrate the beer out of 10, purely on taste.”

He says members rely on family andfriends tobringbeers fromoverseasand thetrick is not to repeat any beer they have hadbefore.

A visit by amember to anoverseas brew-ery, with his extensive logbook, led to GaryHaigh, managing director of Miller BrandsUK handing them the certificate. Haig alsohad a “The Olympians” emblem made andregistered.

“The challenge is that the host is not al-lowed to spend more than R75. On averageone imported beer costs R36.

“One of the best beers we have ever hadis Faxe, made in Sweden, while the worstbeers are mostly from Belguim. These havebeen banned from the club,” he laughs.

Despair about the future of ScottburghI WAS one of many ratepayers who at­tended the recent meeting in the Scott­burgh Town Hall concerning the plannedbeachfrontdevelopment.Wewerepleas­antly surprised by the professional pres­entation made by the team. Scottburghis desperately in need of an economicalinjectionandthisteamseemstobeontheright track. Well done.

However, all the good work was madeundone by the childish behaviour of ourcouncil members in charge. First on theagenda was the mayor with the now re­dundant message of having to cater forthe previously disadvantaged. After 20years into our new democracy all thisapartheid­bashing is an irritating, mo­notonous monologue. The audiencemade no secret of their frustration andconsequently the mayor felt it his duty to

give the audience a lesson in good man­ners. Bad career move, Mr Mayor. We werenot rude — we are merely gatvol of thisrhetoric. No sympathy, nor co­operationwas gained by such an approach.

Next, the new representative of Agri­Forum saw the meeting as a podium toput his grievances on the table in an ag­gressive, confronting manner. Althoughmost people who were present may sharehis criticism of the way the Wimpy’s con­tract had been handled by council, surelythis was not the place to fight these bat­tles. After this AgriForum will definitelynot get my support.

But the cherry on the cake was the be­haviour of the chairman, councillor P.Naidoo. When some questions (very val­id) became a bit uncomfortable to han­dle, he too reverted to aggression, threats

and insults, telling the audience exactlyhow things are going to work in the newSouth Africa.

Well, well, what a feeling of déjà vuthis created. Apartheid might be dead,but apartheid methods are alive and wellin Scottburgh. Apparently the buzzword“democracy” means that all of us shall infuture endorse the views of council. Suchbehaviour we saw at this meeting is unac­ceptableformembersofourmunicipality.Shouldn’t a chairman be neutral? At thisstage the public took offence to his lackof manners and many — including myself— walked out of the meeting.

So yet again a good idea seems to belosing track the minute politicians takeover. After this debacle I do despair aboutthe future of Scottburgh.

Ben Barnard, Scottburgh

EDITORIALCOMMENT

Dividedwe fall

THEbiggest tragedy about the debate overScottburgh beachfront has been the intru-sionbypolitical issues in—as theverycoreof — the debate. This is of course a directconsequence of the choicemany years agoto manage local affairs in all aspects alongpolitical linesbypoliticalparties.Givenour

political history, the chance of a rationalwin-win outcome was always threatened.Allwecanhope for is that the twoextremes— those who hark back to pre-1994 andthosewhopreferpre-1652—willeachlooktowards sharing the beach for the highestmutual benefit in 2015.

NGENXA yokungaqondisisi kahlekomphakathi indlela okusebenzangayo umthetho webheyili, iFever

ngempelasonto icele uchwepheshe kwe­zomthetho waseKloof entshonalangayeTheku osathatha umhlalaphansi ukuthiacacisele abafundi ngemicikilishoephathelene nebheyili.

UMnuz Eric Jabulani Sibeko ongo­munye wabashushisi abahlonishwayongesibindi nokucophelela ekucubunguleniicala, uthi uma umuntu eboshwa akushoukuthi icala selimlahlile ngoba kusuke ku­salindwe amaphoyisa nomshushisi ba­beke ezithebeni zenkantolo ubufakaziobuqoqiwe.

“Phela akwanele ukuthi ubufakazi bu­qoqiwe,” kusho lolu qweqwe lwesaz­imthetho, “kumele kube yinkantolo eg­culisekayo ngobufakazi obusezithebenizayo.”

Uthe lesi simo sifana nomkhubawesintu lapho kunukwa umuntu mumbengokuthi uyathakatha. Noma esenukiwelowomuntu akabizwa ngokuthi un­gumthakathi kuze kuyiwe em­hlahlweni kuyobhulwa.Kuyenzeka amaphoyisaabophe umuntu ngobaenukwa umphakathikanti ubufakaziabanele.

Uthiumshush­isi ufananom­fundisi ome­le iqiniso futhiodingeka ahl­

oniphe amalungelo omphakathi. Kuyisikolokushushisa ukucubungula ubufakazingaphambi kokuthatha isinqumo sokuthiuyashushisa noma akashushisi. Isizathusalokhuuthi yingoba a izinhloso zaba­boshiweyo nabangaboshiwe azifani.Uqhuba uthi: “Lokhu kufakela umshushisiingcindezi yokuqaphela ikakhulukaziabantu abashaya ihlombe ngoba umaumshushisi engacubungulisisi ubufakaziobuphambi kwakhe, angazibona edlaluhlaza amalungelo omphakathi .

“Phela amaphutha ayenzeka laphoabantukufanelebenzeizinqumoikakhulu­kazi amaphoyisa kumbe abashushisi . Ku­kaningi kuboshwa umuntu omsulwa azeasizwe yinkantolo ngoba ingagculisekin gobufakazi obusezithe­

Uthi ezinkantolo kuhlupha abanyeofakazi baba nehaba, bafake nezinongoabanye bathi bayibona into bebe bengayi­bonanga. Lolu hlobo lofakazi luvamiseukusebenzisa inzondo kumbe amagqubu.

Kunenkolelo ethi uma kwenzekaiphutha enkantolo, kungezwakala umakuyiphutha lokukhipha phambili isoni.

Kanti iphutha lokugweba umuntu om­sulwa aze aye ejele, lihlasimulisa umzim­ba, lenze umthetho ungahloniphekingokusho kwaloluqweqwe olungabuzwaukuthi umthetho luwuphupha ngisho lule­le.

Uma uhluza lenkulumo iqondanisenawe usugwetshwa udilika jele kanti um­sulwa . Kuphela nje inkantolo idukiswengofakazi abanezindebe ezimanzi,kwasho incwadi enkulu.

“Kubalulekile ukuthi ofakazi bangabinehaba,” eqhuba. “ Kubuhlungu ukubonaizigilamkhupha ziphuma phambli ngenxayobufakazi obungahlelekile bese kuhluku­mezeka abamangali.

Asibaqaphele laba abangamagaguokushaya ihlombe kodwa bebe besabaukuyofakaza ezinkantolo.

“Muva nje kuke kwaboshwa umfundisingenxa yabantu abakhuthele ekushayeni

ihlombe. Uze walinyazwa bungekho ubu­fakazi obubambekayo

Kufuneka ubufakazi

Njengoba iya emaphethelweni inyanga yabesifazaneuNcwaba (August), lapho bekubhiyoza abesimameezweni lonke bejabulela ukuba namalungelo, akekhoongazi ukuthi umhla ka­9 kuNcwaba, ngo­1956 wa­duma ezweni lonke, abesifazane bebhikishela inku­luleko, nomthetho wokuphathwa komasizi (ID) ku­bantu abamnyama.

Ukube lokhu akwenzekanga, ngabe iningi lethulabesimame (ngizibala nami) alinawo amalungeloeNingizimu Afrika.

Angisho ukuthi ngimsulwa njenge ngelosi, ngobaakekho ophila emhlabeni ongcono. Angiqalengokubonga abesifazane abamela iqiniso nabakwaziukuziphatha ngendlela, ngikusho lokhu ngoba kunomama abashiywa abayeni babo kodwa bahlala nez­ingane zabo bangaxegelwa yisimilo. Khonamanjalokube nomama aba nabayeni kodwa baphendukekube yibona obaba ekhaya ngenxa yokuthi abayenibabo bondla eminye imindeni yangasese. Kunomamaabafundisa izingane ngemali abayithola kanzima.

Kunomama la ngaphandle abangenazo izinganeemishadweni kodwa ubathola bebekezele yize nomakunjalo.

Kubuhlungu uma umama ehlushwa ingane ayiza­layo uze umuzwe esekhala ethi: “Ukube ngangazi ng­abe ngakushiya esibhedlela ngesikhathi uzalwa.”

Ngike ngithi usuke usuyingane eqalekisiwe umausuhlule umzali. NeBhayebheli liyasho emithethwenieyishumi lithi: “Hlonipha uyihlo nonyoko ukuze izinsu­ku zakho zande ezweni.” Mabaqhubeke njalo labomama abenza okuhle emindenini yabo nasem­phakathini, uNkulunkulu uzoba busisa.

Kunomngani wami oke wangixoxela indaba ebuh­lungu ngomama owazala ingane wayilahla em­gqomeni kadoti, esaba ukuthi uzothini kubo uma efi­ka nengane, ngoba kungaziwa ukuthi ukhulelwe. Uthileyo ngane yatholwa ngowesifazane othile owayezid­lula ngendlela eya etohweni, wababaza ibhadi ezwaingane ikhala, wayithatha.

Akayanga ngisho nase msebenzini, waphuthumaekhaya wachazela umyeni wakhe ngokwenzekile,kwasho ukuthi wayegane imvu yeNkosieyayithobekile, ayibanga nankinga ngalokhu. Bayith­

Ngelinye ilanga yatholana nowesifazane owayeg­ula ekhala ubumaye maye wena owabona umuntuoshaywayo, uma ebuzwa ukuthi kwenzenjani athi:“Ngiyasha, ngisizeni ningicishe lomlilo ovuthayo.”

Kuthiwa wayezwakala exolisa ethi: “Ukube ngan­gazi, ngabe angiyilahlanga ingane yami”.

The inaugural Ranger Odysseychallengein2013saw10finalistsset-ting up camp and driving in some ofAfrica’s most gruelling environ-ments. Contestants embarked on anaction-packed cross-continent ad-venture, with only the toughest pro-gressing to the final rounds.

“Wesetouttofindthehardiestcon-testants to take on Africa’s most de-manding conditions,” says Gavin Go-lightly, marketing manager at FMC-SA. “We wanted a personality thatwas as tough as the Ranger itself.”

Rough, tough Ranger unveiled

NO matter where you live or what car youdrive, chances are you can squeeze a bitmore mileage out of each tank of fuel.These fuel­saving tips from Goodyear canhelp you improve your car’s fuel economy,save money, and reduce carbon dioxideemissions.

Slow downOne of the easiest and most efficient

ways to save fuel is to reduce your speed,as the slower you drive, the more efficientlyyour engine performs. As your speed in­

creases, so does your fuel consumption ­an increase of speed from 40km/h to80km/h almost doubles one’s fuel con­sumption. The optimum fuel economy oc­curs between 50km/h and 70km/h.

Change your driving styleYou can save fuel by accelerating grad­

ually and by changing gears as smoothlyas possible. Avoid braking sharply and takea long view of the road ahead, coastingsafely to an intersection in front of youwhere you see traffic stopped. Driving ag­

gressively, can use as much as 20% morefuel than smooth driving.

Use the highest possible gearCars are designed to start in the lowest

gear possible because that’s where theyhave the most power. However, driving inthe highest gear possible can improve yourfuel economy, so gear up when it is safe todo so.

Use air­conditioning selectivelyThe air conditioner is an extra burden

for the car’s engine, so consider switchingoff the air conditioner when outside tem­peratures allow you to do so.

Avoid excessive idlingWhen a car is idling, it is still using fuel.

Turning the engine off while you wait andthen restarting when you are ready tomove uses less fuel than running the carat standstill.

Remove unnecessary loadThe heavier the vehicle is, the more en­

ergy is needed to move it. Hence, carryingaround excess weight will result in higherfuel consumption.

Keep the windows closedOpen windows and sunroofs create

aerodynamic drag, which slows down yourvehicle. To maintain the required speed,more energy, and therefore more fuel, is re­quired. Increase your fuel efficiency simplyby closing your windows and sunroof.

Maintain your car properlyKeep your vehicle well maintained and

servicing it regularly keeps it operating atpeak efficiency. Fouled spark plugs, a dirtyair filter or a clogged fuel filter will all nega­tively affect your fuel economy.

Keep your tyres properly inflatedUnderinflated tyres offer resistance,

and require more energy to roll. This trans­lates into higher fuel consumption. It is im­portant to regularly check the air pressurein your tyres, and ensure that they are in­flated correctly.

Correctly inflated tyres not only saveyou fuel, but are also safer and last longer.
