Addressing business people,governmentofficialsandstakehold-

ers, Liv director Tich Smith said ithadbeenalong,butsuccessfulroad.

“There is somuch that has cometogether, thanks to all of you. Com-ing on board has helped us not justrealise a dream, but also providemuch-needed support for the Cot-tonlands community. Many peoplesee 100 jobs as little, but for each ofthose 100 people, it is support fortheir families.”

Smith said that South Africaneeded to understand the power of“working together”.

“If you combine government,business and the church, you willfind that everythingwill open up foryou. We, as South Africans, tend tooften be armchair critics. The truthis, there are the wealthy among uswhoneed to share this and open thedoors of opportunity for those whotry.

“We are not saying give, we are

saying equip. We want people to beskilled hard workers who can con-tribute to society.

“Ahardday’sworkhasprideandsatisfaction behind it and we mustincorporate this culture in every-one.”

MEC for Co-operative Gover-nance and Traditional Affairs No-musa Dube concurred with Smithsaying that in difficult times, Smithand Liv were doing “exemplarywork”.

“South Africa is going through a

difficult economic time as is the restof theworld.Unemploymentisanis-sue, despite the government work-ing hard at alleviating it. Smith andhis teamare showing great commu-nity leadership tonowprovidemorejobs for people in Cottonlands.

“When we first came here it wasa bare hill. Now there is much thathas been going on. Our freedommeans nothing if we cannot provideforourpeople.Theyneedtobetakencare of and Liv understands that ina practical way. They are, throughGod, bringing about social transfor-mation.”

Ward councillor Chocks Ar-unajallam said it was “excellent tosee good work being done”.

“Whenever Tich has an event ofthis nature you know it is delivery. Itis not talk of things to come. He onlycelebratesoncehegets the jobdone.Thatisthebeautyofthismanandhisorganisation. They put their moneywhere their mouths are.”

Municipal officialclaims low cost home>> Local librarian says rituals must beperformed at her late mother’s houseKAVEEL SINGH

THEREwasastirat the lowcosthousing on Plein Street, Ton-gaat on Friday morning after

local librarianVigiePadayacheewasaskedto“moveout”ofher latemoth-er's home at the complex.

Trouble brimmed when eThek-wini housing officials turned up atthehomeanddemandedthat Paday-acheeremoveherdeceasedmothersbelongings as well as her own.

However, other residents and lo-calcouncillorsbelievePadayacheeis“free-loading” the home for herselfand her boyfriend.

Housingofficialsdeclinedtocom-ment.

According to Padayachee, hermotherpassedawayon3Septemberafteralongillness.Shesaidhadbeenat hermother’s home for aweek be-fore the funeral and in and out of thehome before that.

Padayachee said she would notmove out of the house and would“take this matter to the highest au-thority”.

“These people are being insensi-tivetome.Mymotherhasjustpassedaway and I have rights. I have to stillperform many funeral prayers forher and they are behaving like theyown this place.”

Padayacheesaidshelastofficiallycommunicatedwith the housing de-partment via email to a manager

named Mr. Murugan and was sincebeing “harassed” by housing offi-cials.

“They are threatening me andthey are behaving unconstitutional-ly. I havebeenhere forover48hoursand they need a court order to re-move me. I will not go. The peoplehere need me. I am helping them,”said Padayachee.

Adifferentpicturewaspaintedbysome residents and Cope councillorSteven Naidoo.

Naidoo said that many poor anddowntroddenindividualswerewait-ing on a list to receive the home, yeta council official was occupying it.

“Sheisanemployeeofthemunici-pality and it is disgraceful that she isallowing poor people to be denied ahome. Her boyfriend and her park aflashy BMW 1-series in full view ofpeople who barely have food to eat.

How can she do this? Where is thelogic?”

He added that no employee ofeThekwiniMunicipalitywaspermit-ted to live in any lowcost housing fa-cility.

Resident Angela Devi Govind-samy said there were seven peopleliving in her house. She said shewasdissatisfiedwith Padaychee occupy-ing thehomedescribingherown liv-ing arrangement as dire.

“Therearesevenofuslivinginmyhomeandwhenwegotobedwehavetomake floorbeds in thekitchenandtoilet. I have small children and amon a disability grant. She is the headof a library and makes good money.Why can she not rent a good home?This is a place for poor people, notthose who have expensive cars andgood jobs.”

Another resident Shireen Mood-leydefendedPadayacheedescribingher as an “excellent communityworker”.

“Weneedherhereandsheismak-ingthingsrightforus.Sheiscompas-sionate and very kind. The peoplewho don’t want her here do not un-derstand the value of the work shedoes for us.”

THE Verulam Regional Geogra-phy Committee in partnershipwithTheKeepVerulamBeautifulAssociation(KVBA)helditsannu-alSpeechandPosterCompetitionatVerulamSecondaryearlier thismonth.

Two pupils were placed in thetop three in the grade 10 SpeechCompetition. Keean Pillay wasplaced first. Keean presented aspeech titled “Brain Drain”.

The adjudicators commentedpositively on his well articulatedspeech. Tyril Corondimas wasplacedthird in thesamecategory.

Tyril handled a serious topic“HIV/AIDS, its impact on SouthAfrican Society” with a tinge ofhumour.

Tongaat expatsremain loyal>> Proud Tongaat residents show their loyalty as socialmedia group reaches 6000 member markKAVEEL SINGH

THE “Tongaat” Facebook group has be-come one of the most popular forms ofcommunication for residents, ex-resi-

dents and all people related to the small, bus-tling community.

The group was started in 2007 by 31-year-old Karthik Vallabhjee, a former resident ofTongaat who lived in Sydney Australia.

“I wanted to connect withmyfriendsthatIgrewupwithin Tongaat and I thought thatthebestway to find themwasto create a Tongaat group sothat everyone from Tongaatcould connect with each oth-er in one place.”

Vallabhjee said the re-sponse and level of interac-tionwas“veryexciting”whenthe group started.

“There were initially 500people who joined within a year as thereweren't many people using Facebook back in2007as there isnow,but thegroupdiscussionsand interactions were still fantastic to see. Itwas after a year or twowhen the group startedgrowing and people were speaking about itwhenever I visited South Africa for a holidaythat I realised the importance and value of thisgroup for the Tongaat community.”

Vallabhjee said he wanted the over 6 500

membersof theTongaatgroupto tryandmain-tain support and interest for Tongaat itselfthrough discussions and awareness of thetown.

“Many people now work or live in differentparts of the world so we've got to do whateverwe can to ensure that Tongaat remains of highinterest and that thepeoplewithin theareaarebeing looked after and taken care off,” he said.

“Things like town planning, infrustructure,community welfare, crimeand local news should be dis-cussed and shared by mem-berssothat the informationistransparent and discussedopenly for the community tobe involved in. That’s reallythemissionofthishumbleFa-cebook group,” he added.

Discussing controversy,Vallabhjee admitted thegroup did become heated attimes.

“Whenpeople disagreewith comments in adiscussion and they get a little passionate oremotionalwhenexpressing their views, so I al-ways ensure that the discussions and debatesremainhealthyandthat theyarebenefiting thecommunity.

“It is very easy for a person to misunder-stand the context of another person’s post onFacebook so sometimes people may get upsetor take things personally, so I’ve got to be strict

>> Man survives traumatic ‘rock crevice’experience and a major rescue effort

SHANNON HOPKINS

AMAN was rescued onSaturdayafter being trapped betweenrocks in the Ndwedwe area for

two days.MsomiMbusiseni(35)is recovering

in Albert Luthuli Hospital in Durban.Doctors say he suffered pneu-

mothorax (air in the pleural cavity )and renal failure.

Ballito resident and the specialisedrescue unit’s Quentin Power, who at-tended the scene, saidhehadalsobro-ken some bones.

“Hehasa fractured footandbrokenribswith somecontusions onhis chestandback.Hewas severelydehydratedand we suspected spinal and internalinjuriesdue to thenatureof the fallandthe entrapment,” said Power.

The community told rescue teamsMbusiseni had been on his way homefromhisuncle’shouseafewkilometres

away whenhewentmissing. The ind-una alerted the police and rescue ser-vices at around 12pm on Saturday af-teroneoftheherdersheard“moaning”coming from the mountain side.

Local teams - specialised rescue,SAPSK9Rescue,SAPSSearchandRes-cue andNetcare911 units - respondedwith an EMRS chopper.

They found theman had fallen intoarockcreviceabout30cmwide.Powersaid initially it looked like a typical cliffrescue, but he soon realised it wasmore intense.

“On arrival it looked like a normalcliff rescue thatwehaveexecutedhun-dreds of times. Advanced rescue ropesystems were set up and two vehicleswere used as anchor points. Rescuersdescendeddowna200mline toaccessthepatient.Anextra30-metre linewasadded as the patient was just out ofreach.

“Once at the crevice we had to useapendulum (aweight suspended from

a pivot so that it can swing freely)across toreachthepatient.The rescuethen became extremely technical dueto the nature of the patient’s entrap-ment,” said Power.

Rescue teams thought that if theycouldnotmanually extricatehim, theywould need hydraulic and pneumaticequipment.

Power and a Netcare 911 rescuetechnician executed the extrication,andpolice search and rescue assistedto lift the patient out the crevice to therescue basket.

The teams used hauling systemsto lift thepatient and themselvesup, towhere thehelicopter andcrewwaited.

“It took about two hours to extri-cate the patient and stabilise him.

“Mbusiseni toldmehehad seen thesuncomeandgotwicebeforesomeoneheardhimand toldhimhelpwas com-ing,” said Power.

He said the total rescue operationtook just over four-and-a-half hours.

After beingextricatedfrom therock crevicethe patientis airliftedto AlbertLuthuli Hospital.

The patient isimmobilised andremovedfrom thecliff crevice byrescueteams.

April June 2014: 29949

IN 1998, my newly single mother and fourof her children moved into our newhome in Port Dunford, which came as

a huge shock for “township kids” who grewup in places like eSikhawini and uMlazi.

The place was quite rural back then andwe didn’t have television until late 1998;even then, it was a blackandwhite onewith a screen the size of a large cellphone.

Theplacewasn’tsobad,Imean,wehad

wide open spaces and a driveway as longas some suburban streets. We used to haveclear views of the green planes around usas far as the eye can see, save for somegumtree forests here and there. Mothertried her best to look after us and we werehappy.

There is one thing I can single out thataided in my missing the township life overthe three years we lived there flushing toilets. One seldom considers the importanceof having a flushing toilet in the house.Yes, sure it is quite imperative for hygienepurposes, but there is also the dignity part.

Don’t get me wrong, not that I was unhappywiththe pitloointhebackyard, Ihadforgotten any better then and at eight Iwas fairly satisfied with the situation.

We had a pit latrine a couple of dozen

metres from the “bedroom house” (therewas also a lounge and a separate kitchenhouse). The toilet had four rickety wallsand a door that was too small for the frameso it never really closed.

For those who have never used one, apit latrine consists of a hole where your excrement drops to be devoured by all manner of microbes and creepy crawlies, theway nature intended.

One of the bugs that would occasionally find its way in there was a rather loudbumblebee, the sound of which would dissuade me from blocking the stinger’s onlyway out with my exposed toosh.

One could not complain much, considering that some people still use the bucketsystem a system that is understandablyawkward for both the producer of the

waste and the municipal employee taskedwith handling the stuff.

KZN Cogta’s Nomusa DubeNcubelaunched an attack on municipalities stillimplementing the bucket system in KZNafter the president set a deadline of September 2014 during his State of the NationAddress in June.

One such municipality was our uMhlathuze, which initially denied having anyrecords of the system in its jurisdiction, butwas later left with egg on its face whena visit from Cogta representatives founda different story. The system was in fullswing in at least 83 households in Mandlazini just outside Richards Bay. In aneffort tomeet thepresidentialdeadline,thesehouseholdswill be provided withpit latrines,an “upgrade” costing –wait for it just overR10 000 each. Why not build proper toiletsinstead?Well,there is an ongoing projectto have a sewerage system installed for thearea over a period of time.

Until then, close to R100 000 will beused to fix an issue that never should havebeen in the first place.

I find it sad that it took the presidentsetting this deadline before somethingwas done. I could mention a plethora of incidents where people have actually died asa result of falling into a toilet, Chief is thesixyearold boy who died in a school pittoilet in January in Mpumalanga.

Then there was the man who wasfound dead after going missing for a weekin February. He was found in an eSikhawinipit latrine.

Yes, it looks like I have written a columnabout poop and pit toilets, but I am

trying tohighlightthe plight ofsome people from aperspectiveI actuallyunderstand.

From personal expe

rience I can tell you that pit toiletsare, well, crap, because they are a direct attack on human dignity.

They need to be done away with a massive sense of urgency.

Highlighting the plight of teachersI WOULD like to highlight the plight of

seasoned teachers through the medium of your wellread newspaper and

thereby sensitise the employer to themanner in which we are being systematically compromised.

From the honourable days of Platoand Socrates, teaching was looked uponas a majestic and impressive professionwhich had exponential value in cultivating the nations of the world. Today, thiscourtly career has fallen from grace dueto undue and uncalled for interferences bythe unschooled.

A once distinguished profession hasbecome infected by various factors including the SGB’s role in promoting professionals which is compounded bychronic gluttons of greed in bureaucratswho cause to railroad choices.

It is ignominious how the majority SGBs, characterised by a distinct hallmark of

illiteracy and deficient in professionalismare sucked into the vortex of all that iscrude, unfair, unreasonable and unjust.

Bribery, corruption, cronyism and intimidation thrive profusely whilst seasoned teachers with almost four decadesof experience remain at the same level asthey were on day one when they begantheir careers.

Such SGBs are akin to “epilepsy” in thesound body of education.

Applicants to promotion posts have areasonable expectation for upward mobility but the gorgons of deceit succumbto what is superbly portrayed in Afrikaansas: “Geld wat dom is maak reg wat kromis…hulle is mos obeskofte ongedierte.”

“Money changers” not only contaminated the synagogues of old, but continueto wrack havoc in the constitutional democracy where almost everything becomes an object of exchange where the

currency is money. Where is the integritymay I ask?

Thus the life of a sincere and loyalteacher becomes a trudge through sludgewhilst being shackled by unreasonableimpositions by ruthless powers that be.

Sincetheyear2000,teachersweredenied a vital contractual benefit whereby12 days per annum are accumulated aslong leave.

The argument is that teachers havesufficient leave at the end of each terms.

All other civil and public servants retain the long leave benefit and utilise itduring the year or within 18 months of itbecoming due.

The argument denying teachers thisbenefit is skewed and vulgar – robbery toput it mildly.

One notes with disgust and frustrationthat the quarterly tests and exams are deliberately and sadistically scheduled for

the last week of the school term in highschools in particular.

The teacher is then pressurised tocomplete the mammoth task of markingduring their holidays.

Previously all terms marks were collated and reports issued on the last day ofschool per term and I find no reason whythis system should not be reverted to. Theinsanity that thus prevails is insufferable.

Calculated from year 2000, teacherslost out 168 days of long leave which is aconsiderable saving to the state coffers.

In concluding an essay on our misery,may I delight in emphasising a billiontimes that the only thing that keepsteachers in this profession is the emotional bond that develops among their charges and the sheer joy in observing their development blossom into economic giantsin the corporate global environment.

Charles Munsamy

I ENJOYED reading about your spelling beecompetitions throughout KZN and I thinkthat the people who started this competition must receive praise.

As a teacher, I think it is an excellenttool to encourage pupils to put extra effortinto their language development, but I amsad that it was not as big as all of the otheryears and the prizes were a lot smaller.

I have seen the effects in our ownschool, where the children actively try touse new words in their essays and writtenwork, and I think the spelling bee and theenthusiasm with which they learnt thewords for the competition had a big roleto play. May it grow bigger next year.

English teacher

A good campaign

WITH a new year soon upon us, manyparents have applied to schools of theirchoice in the hope of educating theirchildrentosecuretheirfutures.Yeteveryyear there are those who are faced witha letter of rejection.

The autonomy of our schools is crucial. It is a large factor in the success ofmany of our schools. This includes theright to set their own admissions policy,

among others. But when that autonomy is used to gatekeep or reserve spacefor certain types of pupils it becomes aproblem.

The law is very clear about schoolsdenying access to a pupil based on discriminations set out in our Constitution.The National Education Act says specifically of admissions: “The admission policy of a public school and the administration of admissions by an educationdepartment must not unfairly discriminate in any way against an applicant foradmission.”

It is therefore disconcerting thatsome schools seem to routinely denyadmission to pupils, who in some caseslive less than a kilometre from the

school to which they have applied,seemingly on the grounds of race, religion and other spurious claims.

I am currently dealing with manyfrustrated parents who have been denied the ability to enrol their children into schools most convenient for them onsuch grounds. While, in these cases,there will be a followup with the Department of Education, it is worth reminding ourselves of the inherent advantages of diversity in our schools.

Studies show that children broughtup or schooled in diverse environmentswhether socially, class, race or religiousand others, display a far better understanding of the world. They are ablewith relative ease to navigate the many

nuanced complexities of a society witha history such as ours.

It is therefore the duty of parents,school governing bodies and school authorities to actively strive to provide aholistic and diverse school environmentfor our pupils.

Our country sorely needs more tolerance and empathy towards one another. We will only be stronger once we areable to honestly say we understandeach other. Schools, due to the abilityand scope they have to shape younglives and instill values, are our nation'sbiggest hope in fostering a generation ofcitizens who will lead this country forward, united.

Pilates is all about core strength. Core strength is needed in your everyday life to carry out any activity even walking. Manyof your body’s movements originate from your core, so it makes sense to strengthen your core. Core strength improves

posture, spinal alignment, stability, balance and general health and wellbeing. Pilates strengthens the muscles withoutbulking up. Core strength alleviates back pain, improves mobility and can prevent injury. Improved balance helps you to

stand up straight and also opens your airways for better breathing. Most sporting activities require core strength, running,cycling, swimming and even golfers use their core. Pilates does not isolate any muscle group. It is a full body workout

engaging every muscle from head to toe. The day after your first Pilates workout you will wake up sore in places you didn’tknow you had. Those are your hidden muscles happy that you have finally recognised them. Getting through an entire

Pilates workout is a challenge, persevere and you will be amazed at your new found strength, energy and flexibility. Pilatesis fun, de-stressing and enjoyable with many health benefits.

Beat exhaustion naturally>> Some helpful tips ahead of the crazy endoftheyear season

HOW are you going to manage, especially considering that you are probably totally exhausted already?

A South African born GP, Dr Frank Lipman, who is regarded as a pioneer and internationally recognised expert in the fields ofIntegrative and Functional Medicine adviseson these seven surefire ways to ensure youhave sustained energy right through to theend of the year:

* Cut out caffeine and go slow on alcoholA cup of tea or coffee may give you a

shortterm lift, but a new study shows thatcaffeine consumption even six hours beforebedtime can have significant, disruptive effects on sleep.

* Cut out sugar Dr Lipman believes sug

ar can put enormous stress on hormones –when you crash from a sugar high your adrenal glands kick in and release cortisol, a steroidlike substance, to help lift you up again.

To combat this, he says you should cutout sugar and artificial sweeteners.

* Avoid processed fats Processed fatsand foods are toxic to the body, particularlyif you’re run down.

Avoid hydrogenated fats and trans fatsas they not only increase bad cholesterol,but are said to also block the uptake of goodfatty acids such as omegas three, six andnine – needed for healthy brain function,eyes, joints and skin.

* Eat most of your food by lunchtime The body’s metabolism reaches its peak by

lunchtime (slowing down as the sun startsto set) and you should use this to your advantage by making breakfast and lunch yourlargest meals of the day.

* Sleep in the dark Scan your bedroomfor blinking or glowing lights.

Turn these off or cover the lights. Everylittle bit of light can stop your melatonin levels from rising, which you need to fall sleepand reach the deep restorative sleep yourbody requires.

* Practice Ubuntu According to the concept of Ubuntu, what makes us human is thehumanity we show each other. When youstart to relate to those around you in thisway, you’ll feel more connected, energized,and you’ll have a sense of abundance.

Let me start by explaining the definition of a Calorie. Whatis a calorie? A calorie is the quantity of heat required to raisethe temperature of 1 gram of water 1 degree Celsius, in an-other words a calorie is a measure of heat energy.When food is burned, it releases a certain amount of heat(energy), depending on the type of food, for example; Fathas more calories (9 calories per gram) than Carbohydrates(4 calories per gram) and Protein (4 calories per gram). Themore calories that are in the food, the more energy will bereleased when it is burned and whatever surplus energy thatis not used by the body will get stored as adipose tissue (bodyfat).All foods that have a high fat content will be considered highcalorie foods. There are some fats that are good and essentialfor the body (Unsaturated Fats) which need to be consumedin the right quantities like your omega 3 and omega 6, alsoknown as your healthy fats. Although fats are high caloriefoods and should be limited, there are also some lower calo-rie foods which are just as, if not more destructive to one’shealth. What foods am I talking about? I am talking about theprocessed carbohydrates that are so readily available today,like your sugary foods. Any food that is not in its most natu-ral form is considered harmful when over consumed, eventhough it has lower calorie content than your fatty foods.These foods cause a huge glucose (blood sugar) spike in theblood stream and continuous glucose spikes could lead todiabetes. These large spikes also means surplus glucose andwhatever glucose is not used for energy will be stored hasbody fat (adipose tissue).Most people do not worry about calories until they decideto go on a diet or weight loss program and even then theydon’t know what a calorie really is or how much to consume.The first place to start for anybody who is looking at los-ing weight, gaining weight or even maintaining weight, isto first find out how many calories per day they require formaintenance and then adjust their calorie consumption ac-cordingly.Estimating your calorie consumption by the food you eaton a daily basis and then dropping your calories by eatingless for weight loss does not have a very positive effect. Ifyou cut your calories by too much which you will eventu-ally do because every time you hit a plateau, you lower yourcalories even further to see results and that will send yourbody into starvation mode which will lower metabolism anda lower metabolism will make it much easier for you to putthe weight that you lost back on and even more.Therefore it is important to count calories when going on aweight loss program. This way you can monitor your weightloss and make small adjustments accordingly without lower-ing you metabolism and jeopardizing your health.

11Painkillers and exercise apotentially lethal combo>> Get professional advice when taking medication

IF you're an avid exerciser, thetemptation to 'push through thepain'canbetempting-butthereare

some things you should know beforeyou pop a painkiller to mask the pain.

Exercisingoncertainmedications -such as chronic medication - is un-avoidable.

Yet many of us use painkillers andanti-inflammatory medicines to maskpain so they can continue with theirtraining. Why would we do this?

Well, if you've been training for amarathon (or other sporting event) formonthsonendandsuddenlyyouexpe-rience some form of pain that inter-feres with your training as race daydraws near, the temptation to dull thepain until after the race you trained sohard for is over can be all too tempt-ing.

While this may help you continuewith your training programme, it alsomerely disguises the fact that the bodyis experiencing pain - which could beindicativeofadeeper,underlyingissuethat could be exasperated by contin-ued exercise.

Risks of painkillers and exerciseIt can lead to overtraining, which

carries it's own burden of risk.If you're considering a career as an

athlete, be extra-careful before takinganypainkillermedication,asmanyex-perts believe "painkillers fulfil all therequirements of a doping substance".

Howothermedicationscanaffectexercise

However,exercisingonsomemedi-cations is often unavoidable - such aswith chronic health conditions - andothers don't have such a dramatic ef-fect,but it'salwaysadvisable tounder-stand the risks.

Somecoldmedications,certaindietpills, allergy remedies and herbal teasmay contain compounds that containcaffeine, which can elevate the heartrate, leading to unwanted side-effects

in some people such as heart palpita-tions.

Some medications can alter yourresting heart rate and your maximalheart rate, and if your training pro-gramme is reliant on your trackingyour progress through a heart ratemonitor, this could be detrimental toyour training.

If you know ahead of time that themedication you are on could affectthese, your trainer should be able toadjust your training programme ac-cordingly to take this into account.

If you have been using a certainmedication for an extended period oftime, while engaging in regular exer-cise, overtime this could also affect theway your body responds to certainmedications.

For example, exercise has beenshown to increase sensitivity to somepsychoactivemedicationssuchasanti-depressants,whereasregularexercisehas been shown to decrease the needfor high blood pressure medicationover time.

Generally however, the smart thingtodo is advise yourdoctorwhat typeofexercise you engage in and how regu-larly when they prescribe you anymedication. Rather safe than sorry.

KZNSB spokesperson HarryMbambosaid the technologywill firstbe tested in Glencairn Beach in FalseBay.

“Themainaim is tobring the tech-nology toDurban. It is being tested inCape Town because KZN sea condi-tions are rougher than Cape Town.There are more sharks off the Capecoastand therearesharksspotters inCapeTown, facilitieswedonothave,”he said.

The technology could also providean alternative to shark nets anddrumlines deployment.

MY South Africa officially houses 50millionpeopleofall colours, creeds,religions andgenders. Ifwe include

the unofficial refugee population from Zim-babwe, Mozambique, Angola, Namibia andSomalia it might be closer to 65 million forall we know.

My South Africa today has a thousandshades of black and the rainbow needs ur-gent re-inventing.

My South Africa is blessed with the giftsof communication. We have 11 official lan-guages.Noonecaneversaytheydidn’tknowwhatwasgoingon. Someonewill eventuallysay it in their language.

MySouthAfricahasnotchangeditsnamewith the birth of its democracy, but many ofourroads,streetsandtownsneedtoreinventtheir addresses. How long can we drivedown Hendrik Verwoerd Boulevard, JohnVorster Avenue or PW Botha Street withoutthrowing up?

MySouthAfricaisnotHollandwheretheythink they understand Afrikaans and don’twant to be reminded that Verwoerd, the Ar-chitect of Apartheid, was Dutch and notAfrikaans.

My South Africa is not the United King-dom, because happily many of our racistyouth have left our rainbow shores to createtheir own a De la Rey-style BlankostanHomeland in the London suburb of Rich-mond.

My South Africa is not Europe no matterhow hard some of us try. Black people wereoncereferredtoas “non-Europeans”,whichironically meant that many Australians andCalifornians used the toilets meant forblacks.

My South Africa is not Australia, eventhoughsomanySouthAfricansemigratedtothat far-off colony that theaverage IQofbothour countries went up.

My South Africa is not blood-drenchedIraq, which has now imported all our ex-South African police to do security service.We probably have the biggest unofficial ar-my there. You canask for a “lekkerdop” andget it.

“BEING present at func-tions like these is a partof official diplomatic

business that is close to my heart.”US Ambassador, Patrick Gas-

pard, spoke to Fever at the hand-over of the US Ambassador’s HIVand AIDS Community GrantsAwards on Friday.

The event was held in Syden-ham, Durban at the end of a two-day workshop attended by the 30grant recipients who hailed fromthe four corners of KwaZulu-Nataland the Eastern Cape.

A total amount of $372 000(nearly R4million) in grants - fromthePresident'sEmergencyPlan forAIDSRelief (PEPFAR) -was award-ed to thebeamingorganisations onthe receiving end of the funding.

“Being able to meet the recipi-ents and see how PEPFAR’s fundsare being distributed and how thefinance will make a difference, isvery humbling, but positive at thesame time,” Gaspard said.

The ambassador arrived inSouth Africa a year ago to take upthe diplomatic post - his first in thecorps.

“I am still hoping to travelaround South Africa and see a lotmore - not only of the countrysidebut what is happening on theground, and how the grants aremaking a difference.

“I love the warmheartedness ofSouth Africans. It is at events likethese that one gets a sense of thepeoplewhoare theheartbeat of thenation.”

Gaspard was actually born inwhatisnowtheDemocraticRepub-lic of Congo in 1967 but moved tothe Stateswith his family at the ageof three.

OneofhisearlymentorswasDa-vid Dinkins who would later be-come New York City’s mayor. Gas-pardvisitedSouthAfrica in theear-ly 90s - at Dinkins’ request - toconsult with Nelson Mandela onwhen the city should stop pres-surisingUSbusinessestodisinvest.

Gaspard was also part of theteam who prepared the way forMandela’s first visit to the US. In2008hebeganworkingforUSPres-ident Obama. Another programmeclose to Gaspard’s heart is TheWashington Fellowship for YoungAfrican Leaders.

“The Programme is looking foraccomplished, innovative, dynam-ic young citizens (between 25 and35 years old) who are excelling inbusiness and entrepreneurship,politics, public service or civic en-gagement,” Gaspard said.

“Potential applicants should bealready making a contribution totheir community. Last year 4 000applicantsfromaroundthecountryapplied - only 40 were selected.Candidates are identified who willreturntotheircountrytoinspirethenext generation.”

A total of 500 candidates fromtheentireAfricancontinentattend-edthesix-weekprogrammeatvari-ous universities in the US.

They then engaged in one ofthree areas - business and entre-preneurship, civic leadership orpublic management.

Upon completion of the pro-gramme in the US, “it is hoped thatthe returningFellowswill continueinAfricawithopportunities fornet-working, continued professionaldevelopment and access to seed

funding forentrepreneurs.Fellowswill have access to enrichmentseminars, local and regional net-working events and a vibrant on-line community,” Gaspard ex-plained.Theonlineapplicationsforthe 2015 selection should be avail-able in early December this yearand will be due in late January2015.ForfurtherdetailsonthePro-gramme visit http://youngafrican-leaders.state.gov and sign up foremail updates and notificationsabout the application process.

TWENTYFIVE planes lined up to take40 children on chauffeurpilotedtours of the sky over Durban onSunday.

But lastminute cancellations by five of those children —too sick to enjoy the thrill of themass air armada — revealed justwhat it meant for those whosoared over the beaches; eachwith a pilot all to themselves.

All three dozen children, from Durban and Pietermaritzburg, are living withlifethreatening illnesses, and almost none of themhad ever flown before.

Pinetown clerk Nivera Maharaj said the illnesses— like the brain tumour afflicting her daughter — “canmakethesewonderfulkidsfeellikethereissomethingwrong with them; that they are not beautiful”.

there are injections and medications to take.”The topgun junior aviator was clearly Darian Nai

cker, (10) who strode off the airfield in a pilot’s outfit— including epaulettes and “wings” he had alreadyearned. He said he could be a pilot if he could log another 199 hours in the air. He hopes to become an astronaut.

Salene Sawry (17) gets set forher first flight, with Ian Jefferiss.

THE PEUGEOT 308 and 308 SW haveseen commercial success with146 000 units ordered by the end of

August.Following this excellent performance,

the 308 range welcomes two dynamic newversions and on both Hatchback and SWbody styles.

Behind the wheel of these new versions,whether the GT 205 or GT 180 fitted withthe 1.6litre THP 205 Stop &Start sixspeedmanual and the 2.0litre BlueHDi 180 EAT6engines respectively, drivers will appreciate

the remarkable performance of these vehicles.

The 308 GT’s front end now houses thelion in the grille with three horizontal bladeson either side of the emblem and LEDlighting used throughout.

From behind, the 308 GT is striking forits posture as the GT signature is integratedin the grill, the tailgate and the front wheelpanels.

The range of colours for the 308 GT include the new Magnetic Blue.

To deliver maximum enjoyment, the GT

makes the most of a chassis with specificsettings and high performance engines.

Engineers used all of the brand’s expertise to achieve a remarkable power toweightratioofjust 5.85kg/hpforthepetrol308 GT.

Acceleration from 0 to 100km/h, takesthe petrol 308 GT just 7,5 seconds.

The fourcylinder 1.6litre THP 205Stop&Start engine is specified with a sixspeed manual gearbox to make the mostof its 285Nm of torque, available between1 750 and 4 500rpm.

This diesel engine is coupled to an EAT6automatic gearbox.

It uses Quickshift technology for fastgearchanges, aswellastheabilitytodownshift automatically to the speed requiredrather than in sequential order.

Furthermore, its efficiency is almost thesame as for a manual gearbox due to reduced internal friction and the use of torqueconverters applied whenever needed toavoid transmission slip.

Performance of this level demands aneffective braking system and this is providedby a Bosch 9CE central unit distributingthe braking effort between the fourdiscs.

At the front, the 330mm diameter and30mm thick discs are gripped by floatingcalipers with 60mm pistons.

THE secondgeneration Kia Picanto has been turningheads since making its global premiere at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show and local market introduction in2011.

Three years later, the Picanto remains one of themost striking and comprehensively equipped vehiclesin its segment.

While the twomodel Picanto lineup remains unchanged, enhancements to the exterior endows itwith a sportier face thanks to a revised 'tiger nose'grille and a restyled front bumper. The Picanto'ssculpted side profile and uncluttered rear styling remains unchanged. The 1.0 LX ships with 14inch steelwheels with full wheel covers, while the 1.2 EX features sporty 14inch alloys. Two of Kia Motor Corporation's efficient Kappa engines do duty in the Picanto,

starting with threecylinder, 998 cc unit producing51 kW and 94 Nm of torque in the 1.0 LX. A fourcylinder, 1 248 cc engine is used in the 1.2 EX, producing65 kW and 120 Nm of torque. Both engines are matedto a fivespeed manual transmission, but a fourspeed automatic transmission is available as an option.

Amla ready for T20>> Hashim to take on shortest form of the game

WEEKLY REPORTER

ALL seven editions of the IndianPremier League (IPL) and thethree Big Bash Leagues in Aus-

traliahavecomeandgonewithoutAm-la's involvement, and he has notplayed in any of the five ChampionsLeague T20 (CLT20) tournaments.

But thatwill change inRaipur in In-dia on Friday if Amla is part of the Co-bras XI in their firstmatch of the 2014CLT20.

Where others have chased themil-lions that come with high-profile T20gigs, and still others the lesser moneyto be earned in B-grade competitionslike the Bangladesh and Caribbeanpremier leagues, Amla has preferredto observe the off-season - bar the oddshort jaunt on the English county cir-

cuit."It's aboutmore thanmoney,"Am-

la's agent, Ismael Kajee, said yester-day. "It's about balancing your life be-tween your work and your family.

"It's not that Hashim has anythingagainst T20 cricket or the IPL or any oftheothercompetitions, it's that theguyneeds a break.

"No onecansaythatmoneydoesn'tmean anything, but it is the least ofHashim's priorities."

Kajee said Amla had turned downoffers to play in foreign T20 competi-tions, and doubted whether he wouldevermakehimselfavailable for the IPLauction.

But hedidnot shut that door: "Whoknows - things could change withHashim, especially if the number ofmatches IPL teams play decreases."

Amla has yet to play T20 cricket inIndia at any level, but he has had 12of his 26 innings in the format for SAin the similar conditions of Bangla-desh, Sri Lanka and the United ArabEmirates.

In those trips to the crease he hasscored 317 runs at a strike rate of123.83, slightly better than his overallstrike rate of 122.44.

He madehisonlyT20 internationalhalf- century - 56 off 37 balls - in Chit-tagong in Bangladesh in March in aWorld T20gameagainstNewZealand.

AlthoughAmlahas played for SA ina dozen countries spread across sixdistinctregionsoftheworldinaninter-national career that started almost 10years ago, in the CLT20 hewill have tocome to terms with something he hasnever faced before.

A tournament that is at least asmuchabout frivolous fussas it is aboutthe game will be new to him. Anychance of cricket's calmest manbeingbowled over by all that?

"There's going to be a lot of periph-eral stuff goingon,andhe'sgoing toberight in the thick of it," Jon Kent, whoplayed in Amla's first-class debutagainst the touring English team atKingsmead in December, 1999, saidyesterday.

"But evenwhenHashimwasQuin-ton de Kock's age (21), he was unflap-pable; he was solid and focused.

"He's good at putting things to oneside, andhewill take all the stress andpizzazz out of it."

As Shaun Pollock said: "I'm sureHashim will treat it as just anothertournament."
