AS the new school year began last week,security experts have cautioned parents tobe extra vigilant when dropping off or pick-ing up their children, saying hijackers oftentargeted vehicles in crowded places, suchas outside schools in peak morning or earlyafternoon periods,

Nico Potgieter, head of investigationsat Enforce Security Services, said such situ-ations allowed hijackers to merely wait fortheir targeted vehicles to come to them.

"If hijackers are looking for particular

vehicles to steal, school drop-off and pick-up points, as well as busy shopping centresare the ideal places for them to lurk. Herethere will be many makes and models ofvehicles coming and going, so the chancesofthemfindingthevehicletheyarelookingfor increases."

Potgieter said parents and driversshould be extra vigilant and aware ofsmartly dressed people "lurking around".

"When drivers stop off outside schools,for example, hijackers could be hanging

around. They may then start slowly walk-ing towards vehicles they want to hijack.If you do not feel comfortable stoppingsomewhere, rather don't. Take a drivearound the block if need be."

He urged residents to continue beingvigilant with their home security now thatmany homes are vacant with children andparents back at school and work, for al-though there was not necessarily an in-creased risk at this time of year, housebreak-ins were an all-year reality.

Potgieter advised that the most impor-tant part of residential security was secur-ing the gates and perimeters.

"Brackets for the gates and beams foroutsidearemoreimportantthanthealarmon its own. If you only have an alarm sys-tem then when it goes off the perpetratorsare already inside your home."

He reiterated previous warnings to resi-dents to ensure their windows and doorswere closed, and locked, at all times toavoid opportunistic crime. He said this wasimperative, despite the summer heat. Res-idents should rely on fans and air condi-tioners to keep them cool.

Crime incident reports revealed thatHillcrest and surrounding areas wereplagued by house break-ins over the De-cember and January holidays, with manysuspects gaining access to homes by forc-ing open doors and windows.

However, although residential crimepeaked during the festive holidays, mostincidents saw only small items being sto-lenwhilealarmactivationspreventedloss-es in many cases as suspects fled.

Potgieter said gate derailments was al-so a common, all-year modus operandi,

with residential crime in Hillcrest area notescaping such cases this past festive sea-son.

The most recent such case occurred on5 January, when an unknown number ofsuspects derailed the driveway gate andthen forced open the front door. However,only a television was reported to have beenstolen.

House break-ins were also reported inForest Hills, Gillitts, and Kloof. Amongitems stolen were laptops, cellphones,wallets, jewellery, shoes, cigarettes andkitchen and electronic appliances.

In one incident in Forest Hills in Decem-ber, three armed suspects held up a familybefore ransacking their home and fleeingin the home owner's car.

Cases of yard hopping were also report-ed in Hillcrest.

HAVING lived in Europe for 11years where she worked as alawyer, and being a mother-

She foundthat juiceswere thebestandeasiestway to get herdaily sevenportions of fruit and vegetable.

WhenshemovedbacktoSouthAf-rica she soon realised getting the jui-ces was not as easy. She found mostvendorsofferedmainlyfruit juice,butwith very little vegetable content.

While on a trail run her friendsaskedifshewouldmakethemtwojui-ces a day and so The Juice Kitchenwas born.

ASmany universities across the country com-mencedacademic lecturesonMonday,numer-ousprospectivestudentsfaceuncertainfuturesdue to a lack of substantial funding.

Despite government steadily expandingannual budgets, the high demand for financialaid outstrips the funds it dedicates to the Na-tionalStudentsFinancialAidScheme(NSFAS).

Lectures begin on9February at theUniver-sity of KwaZulu-Natal as the institution is busywithregistrationandtheallocationofstudents,while Durban University of Technology’sacademic lectures start this week.

NSFAShassetasideR9,5billioninbursariesandloansforthisyear—aR1,3billionincreasefrom 2014. The amount of money allocated touniversities is limited and universities havebeen explicitly instructed not to overspend onthe amounts allocated to them, said ProfessorAdam Habib.

Higher Education and Training ministerBlade Nzimande said the failure of graduatesto pay NSFAS debts cripples them, thusresulting in a shortfall. He admitted that thereare not adequate funds for needy students.

Fundsowedbygraduatestothefinancialaidbody total R7,5 billion.

“We are very worried because the moneyrecoveredisusedtopaya30%upfrontpaymentto universities to assist poor studentswhomaynot afford registration,” he said.

NSFAS would fund 205 000 first-time, andcontinuingly eligible students at universitiesand 200 000 students at technical andvocational education and training colleges.

Over400 000studentswerefundedin2014.“Last year, NSFAS provided student loans

andbursaries totallingoverR8,3billion,whichexcluded the once-off allocation of R1 billionfor the servicing of the 2013 shortfall ofR700 million and 2014 shortfall of R300 mil-lion,” Nzimande said.

The department said it has strategic plansto recover funds owed by graduates.

“We are embarking on recovery campaignsoon.AtthemomentweworkingwithSouthAf-ricanRevenueServices to trace thosewhooweus,wealsoworkwithemployers toassist in re-covering the debt,” said Nzimande.

It is now time that the moneyis put to a better use,” he said.

Meanwhile, Nzimande said the NationalSkills Fundwould also step in to help studentswho are studying towards critical skills pro-grammes that aremost needed for the growthof the economy.

‘Talk Sign 2015’ under way>> Community urgedto learn sign languageKALISHA [email protected]

THE Talk Sign Campaign, launched bythe KZN Blind and Deaf Society in2014, is well under way and encour-

ages South Africans to learn sign language.The campaign also raises money,

through the sale of Talk Sign stickers andfundraising initiatives, to educate and findemployment for people who are deaf orhard of hearing.

The campaign is also aimed at puttingpressure on the government to make it the12th official language and for sign lan-guage to be taught as a syllabus subjectat schools and tertiary institutions.

Shamila Surjoo, director of the KZNBlind and Deaf Society, was delightedabout the announcement last August bythe MEC of Education Peggy Nkonyeni,

that sign language would be introduced in-to main-stream schools and over the nextfive years.

The KwaZulu-Natal Department of Ed-ucation will also train teachers in sign lan-guage in an effort to improve interactionamong pupils she said. She also an-nounced that she will be engaging HigherEducation Minister Blade Nzimande, topropose that sign language be introducedin tertiary institutions as a subject.

Surjoo said she welcomed this intro-duction as they have waited far too long.

Talk Sign Campaign.“We all need to communicate with

each other. Imagine how lonely it must bewhen you don’t understand what the peo-ple around you are saying and no one un-derstands what you are trying to say,’’ ex-plains Surjoo.

With the introduction of sign languageas a school subject, the KZN Blind and DeafSociety is confident that the Talk SignCampaign and Talk Sign Day 2015 will re-ceive overwhelming support.

Government will be putting schoolsunder pressure to start the introduction ofsign language while corporates will benefitfrom the substantial goodwill generatedby adopting Talk Sign as one of the socialresponsibility initiatives.Talk Sign DayisonFriday 13 March.

THE Esibusisweni Creche and Orphanage is locatedin the middle of KwaNyuswa near the beautiful areaof Botha’s Hill. Situated at the top of a steep dirtdriveway is a small rondavel which is home to over50 children.

Esibusisweni is the true essence of love, hope andcommunity spirit, caring for the children each daywithout payment. The majority of these children areaged between one and five years old and need asmuch love, care and attention as possible.

The home cares for eight orphan children who liveat Esibusisweni permanently and over 50 other chil-dren attend the creche.

The Esibusisweni Creche and Orphanage has verylittle in terms of supplies, furniture, toys and basicplumbing. Esibusisweni is kept alive by the gogo (Bu-siswe Dlamini) who owns the land and runs the or-phanage and crèche with the help of a few generouslocals.

“The gogo started this crèche and orphanage be-cause of her love for children and the need for carein the community,” said Chris Luthuli on behalf of thegogo.

“The gogo says that she has the land and whatbetter way to use it, than to care for the communityshe lives in.”

However as a non-profit organisation, Esibusis-

weni Crèche and Orphanage does not receive anyfunding from government and are always looking forways and means to care for its children.

“We are working on various initiatives to improveboth the facilities and the experience we provide tothe children we care for,” he said.

Luthuli said that goals of Esibusisweni Crèche andOrphanage are to obtain a bigger home for the chil-dren, as the rondaval they currently occupy is not bigenough.

He said that another major necessity is disposaldiapers, in addition they require local volunteers toassist in the day-to-day care. They want to providenutritional meals for each child on a daily basis. Toprovide clothing, blankets, nappies, toys, jungle gym/play equipment and daily activities for the children.

Esibusisweni Crèche and Orphanage aims to in-stall and connect a rain water tank to provide waterfor the building and building at least four toilets.

However, without assistance from the communitythe organisations cannot afford to offer the qualitycare to the children the house.

“Members of the community can help by meansof donation, food, clothes, toys and even volunteerat the centre,” he said.

“Any assistance we receive will be greatly appreci-ated. I would also like to thanks the Kloof MethodistChurch for all the support they offered us thus far.”

To assist, contact Chris on 076 202 2963.

Striding her way to the top>> Waterfall lass earns KZN majorette colours


WATERFALL College Grade 10 pupiland 2014 leader of the squad,Ciara van Niekerk, was recently

awarded her KZN colours for majorettes.According to school marketer Keryn

House, Niekerk is the only pupil from theUpper Highway area to earn this honour,and the school is very proud of her.

“At the colours camp, the girls

had two hours to learn three complex dis-plays, coached by members of the nationalsquad. Niekerk showed outstanding abilityby performing each of the three disciplineswith precision and professionalism,” shesaid.

Megan Roth, coach for the WaterfallCollege squad, spoke about the impor-tance of commitment and discipline in thissport. “Majorettes is not for the faint-hearted athlete. One has to put in a lot oftime and effort to produce winning dis-plays. Unlike most other sports, majorettesis based on synchronisation, where teammembers have to move and perform as

one while doing complicated above andbelow waist movements. ”

At the event the 2014 captain, AyandaNgcobo, handed over to the 2015 captainand leader Niekerk. She said, “I am hon-oured at the opportunity to captain theWaterfall College Majorette team in 2015.I am grateful for the support I have re-

ceived from my coaches Megan Roth andFiona de Kock as well as my fellow team-mates and my wonderful school, WaterfallCollege, over the past few years. Withoutthis support, I wouldn’t have been able toaccomplish my goals in a sport that I amso passionate about. I am excited andlook forward to a brilliant 2015.”

Principal Jeanette van der Merwe con-gratulated the team, expressing her hopethat the squad would be able to competenationally in 2015. “This is a very demand-ing sport. Few people realise how manyhours go into the finely co-ordinated dis-plays which are so professionally present-ed by the squad.

“This is the third year that WaterfallCollege has competed provincially and weare ready to take the squad to nationals.

“Well done to our girls and especiallyto Ciara for achieving her KwaZulu-Natalcolours.”

This year the squad is planning to at-tend nationals in Bloemfontein and isseeking sponsorship for the trip in terms oftransport and accommodation costs.

Interested parties are requested to con-tact Roth at email megz3007@ gmail.comor the school marketer on mar [email protected]

SUZUKIhas launchedabudgethatchback,theCelerio, inSouthAfricaat theexpenseof its Alto range.

Suzukinowhastwosub-R130 000cars–theCelerio and the Splash, the latter launched in2014.

TheHatchback is available in twospecifica-tions (GA and GL), two transmission options(five-speedmanualandnewautomatedmanu-al transmission), eachwith the same one-litre,three-cylinder, petrol engine.

The Celerio is 3.6m long, 1.6m wide and1.5m high - that’s 100mm longer and 70mmhigher than the outgoing Alto though it’s thesame width. Its wheelbase has increased by65mmto2.4m, thosewheels shodwith165/70R14 tyres on 14” steel rims - alloys optional.

The three-cylinder, 55kW/90Nm enginedrives through a five-speed gearbox called bySuzuki an “automated manual transmission”— actually a constantly variable transmission(CVT) with five preselected ratios activated bya shifter, boldly described by Suzuki as“achieved via an electro-hydraulic actuator,making theuseof a clutchpedal unnecessary”.

One is acutely aware of the Celerio’s 55kW,especiallywhenclimbingahillorcarryingafullcomplement of passengers. Overtaking re-quires thought and ample space.

The differences between the GA andGL are

minor. The GA’s grille, exterior mirrors anddoor releasesare finished incontrastingblack.Ithashalogenheadlights, a rearwiper/washerandmanual externalmirrors. Luggagecapaci-ty is 235 litres or 1034 litreswith the rear seatsfolded.

The GL variant adds a glossy black grilletreatment, chromed accents and externalmir-rors finishedinthebodycolour. Italsogains foglights, power for the external mirrors and arear-screen demister.

The black upholstery remains, though isbolstered with fabric inserts for the doors andchromeddoorreleases.The instrumentbinna-cle gains a rev counter, external temperaturedisplay, four power windows, central lockingand a gear-shift indicator on the AMT.

The steering wheel gains tilt adjustment,Bluetooth and a four-speaker radio/CD audiosystem with MP3, USB and Bluetooth connec-tivity.

The Suzuki Celerio is soldwith a three-yearor 100 000km warranty; a two-year or30 000km service plan is included in the GL’sprice. Service intervals 15 000km.
