Morethan25shotswerefiredinwhatisbe­lievedtobeahitontheKwaDukuzaTaxiAssoci­ationchairman,SaneleZondi.FortunatelyonlyZondi’scarwashit.Theincidentoccurredattheintersection of Kenneth Kaunda (Northway)

and Swapo (Broadway) roads.Durban North station commander Colonel

GM Naidoo said the suspect was arrested laterthat night after a local security company be­lieved he had been involved in a hijacking.

“The security company received reports ofshotsfiredandweresearchingforaToyotaFor­tunerthatwasinvolvedinthehijacking.Initially,the security officers were not aware that themenwereinvolvedinthe[shooting],”saidNai­doo.

Marshall Security’s Tyron Powell saidthey received a report that the vehicle hadbeen abandoned on the corner of Black­burn and North Coast roads and that thesuspects had fled.

“The vehicle was stopped outside theRed Hill Post Office and the two suspectswere exiting the vehicle and began to flee

on foot. Our members gave chase andmanaged to tackle one and arrested him,”Powell said.

He was found in possession of five live38 Special rounds.

The second suspect is still at large.“We checked ownership of the vehicle

and found it was registered to a person inthe South Coast. He was contacted, but heconfirmed that his vehicle was not stolenand still in his possession. On checking thevehicle’s VIN it was established that thenumber plates and licence disk had beencloned.

“Further investigation established thatthe vehicle the suspects used had beenstolen on Saturday from North Beach,”Powell said.

Although the police could not say if a

rival taxi association was involved, a mem­ber of the association, who spoke on condi­tion of anonymity, said he believed Zondiwas followed from KwaDukuza and thatprofessional hit men were involved.

He said he could not comment furtherfor fear of jeopardising the investigation.

A case of attempted murder and mali­cious damage to property is being investi­gated at the Durban North SAPS, GlendaleSAPS and KwaDukuza SAPS.

KwaZulu­Natal MEC for Transport,Community Safety and Liaison Willies Mc­hunu has expressed disdain over the ongo­ing taxi violence.

"I condemn, in the strongest possibleterms, incidents of shootings, which resultin the killing of people and endanger thelives of innocent citizens," said MEC Mc­

hunu."We must be very clear in that private

security companies operate within a set ofregulations that govern their work. This in­cludes ensuring the safety of the membersof the community wherever they operate,especially in the public transport sector."

The MEC sent a team from the depart­ment to engage the associations and at­tempt to stop the conflict.

“I will be meeting the leadership ofboth associations urgently to resolve theissues of conflict.

“As the KwaZulu­Natal province, wehave made significant strides in stabilisingthe taxi industry. We will not allow any inci­dent such as the latest shooting in KwaDu­kuza to undermine our good work of thepast five years,” said Mchunu.

Defending Zuma’s dignity>> Supporters march to show support for president following the Nkandla report

MERVYN KRISHNA

THOUSANDS of supportersfrom the South AfricanCommunist Party (SACP), the

SA National Civic Organisation(Sanco), the Congress of South Afri-can Trade Unions (Cosatu) and theANC marched through the streetsof KwaDukuza on Saturday to“defend the dignity” of PresidentJacob Zuma.

The march began at Shopriteand ended at the KwaDukuzaCountry Club grounds where a

memorandum of grievances washanded to KwaDukuza mayorRicardo Mthembu by the SACPdeputy national chairperson,Thulasi Nxesi, the SACP provin-cial secretary, Themba Mthembuand the ANC provincial deputychairperson, Willies Mchunu.

The memorandum contained alist of grievances from the alliancedirected at the Department of Jus-tice.

The SACP says it is “extremelyconcerned” at the manner in whichPublic Protector Thuli Madonsela

handled her investigation intoupgrades at Zuma’s private resi-dence at Nkandla.

Nxesi said the use of the mediato leak the earlier report, and thehabit of making comments on anincomplete process, have all nega-tively affected and unnecessarilycast aspersions on Zuma.

The SACP also questioned thepresence of the media at the re-lease of the report in Pretoria, aswell as the timing of the release.

“The media was ‘locked up’ in aboard room for about three hours

to go through the final report priorto its release via a press confer-ence, while the affected personswere never given such adequateopportunity.

“The Public Protector does notreport to the media, but to Parlia-ment, and therefore her media-driven strategy is seriously flawedand shows a complete misunder-standing of the office of the publicprotector.” said Nxesi.

The memorandum calls for the“abuses of power and the leaks”from Madonsela’s office to be inves-

tigated and addressed decisively.The SACP said crucial observa-

tions in the report included that thepresident had never requested se-curity valuations and upgrades bythe state on his Nkandla residencein KwaZulu-Natal.

“The president never misledParliament when he said that thestate never built his and any of hisfamily members any house, andthat his family is responsible forpayment of all the houses they builtfor themselves at his residence,” hesaid.

THE MEDIA WAS ‘LOCKED UP’ IN A BOARD ROOM FOR ABOUT THREE HOURS TO GO THROUGH THE FINAL REPORT PRIOR TO ITS RE­LEASE VIA A PRESS CONFERENCE, WHILE THE AFFECTED PERSONS WERE NEVER GIVEN SUCH ADEQUATE OPPORTUNITY.

“THOUSANDS of studentsacross the country are cur-rently being rejected by in-

stitutions of higher learning becausethey come from poor families,” saidDemocratic Alliance National YouthLeader Mbali Ntuli at a youth rally inSalt Rock last week.

“Thisyear,Treasuryhasnotallocat-ed enough funds to the National Stu-dentFinancialAidScheme.Asaresult,studentswhohaveturnedtoeducationto lift themselvesandtheir familiesoutof poverty are having their dreamscrushed.

“I have been inundatedwith corre-spondence from these students whoare fast losing all hope for a better life.

“The DA believes that no personshouldbeexcludedfromopportunitiesto pursue further education becausethey cannot afford it. This is why ourpolicy is forNSFASassistance tobeex-

around R16 billion to ensure that nostudents are left behind because theyare poor.”

Other issues raised were unem-ploymentandamendments to theEm-ployment Equity act.

DANational Youth chairman YusufCassim said the DA’s plan for real jobs

forced bylegislationtolookforgreenerpastures elsewhere.

“Is this fair on people who haveworked hard and have earned theirdues?”

The youth were given the opportu-nity to share their views and come upwith potential solutions at the event.

The youth turned out in their numbers for the dialogue.

YOU! Yes, you, gentle reader, can beall you ever wanted to be and haveall you have ever desired. Can I get

a YES?Sound familiar? It should. It’s the gen­

eral mantra ­ in one form or another ­ thatis ejaculated by self­proclaimed motiva­tional speakers on a near daily basis atseminars,webinars,through podcastsandin gazillions of books, leaflets and self­published e­books.

I have touched on the multi­billion dol­lar self­help industry before, briefly, but forpurposes of today’s rant, I have chosento focus on The Motivational Speaker, thatubiquitous creature that has nested ingovernment,theprivatesector,education­al institutions and media and continuesto empty its bowels on our heads in orderto offer inspiration.

It is the message flowing from The Mo­tivational Speaker, life coach and consul­tant, under the self­help umbrella, thatsociety today is being encouraged to em­brace as if it were a cuddly bunny hoppingthrough green pastures, spreading love,peace and fortune with its magic bunnywand.

The purpose of The MotivationalSpeaker, we are told, is to motivate people.We will agree that this is not rocket sci­ence, for which, incidentally, one actuallyneeds talent.

Granted, it would be unfair to paint allwith this brush, so let us stick to the unscru­pulous few who make money by tellingus that we simply aren’t good enough, andthat for X amount, we can be so muchbetter.

Today’s motivational speaker, if he orshe has reached the pinnacle of his or hergame, is possibly a wily creature whoknows that money can be made and gloryattained by sexing­up common sense.

Pepper this sexed­up common sensewith a concocted call for humility, togetherwith a non­offensive moral stance, andyou have corporate clowns and wannabe

success­stories everywhere sprinting toharness the mysteries of the universe in aneffort to get richer, faster, stronger, bet­ter…or finally have someone kiss their arsefor a change.

For those of you born circa 1980, com­mon sense is a rare quality that you proba­bly lack. Fortunately, the blame cannotentirely be placed on your brilliant youngshoulders; given that you are being force­fed a steady stream of excrement fromprevious generations who are not quitemotivated enough to face their own fail­ures. You have now become our path toredemption, or so you keep on telling us.

It is on the Internet where we will finda seemingly endless stream of gushingabout motivational speaking (close on 11million, actually) which appears to be the

choice career for those who excel in publicspeaking and not much else.

Sadly, this does not perturb many, whoare so desperately seeking some unattain­able form of hope and acceptance thattheyarewilling tolistentoorators withlim­ited life experience when it comes tothings like love, happiness and money.

Now, common sense tells us that com­mon sense is lacking if we are happy to forkout large amounts of money to learn howto save money. Common sense tells us thatif we want to save money at the end ofeach month, we need to spend lessthroughout the month.

Common sense tells us that if we wantto lose weight, we should eat right andmove more. That a simple concept suchas saving money or losing weight – both

big on the agenda of The MotivationalSpeaker ­ can lead to a 200 page best sell­er, should be enough to elicit a face­palmreaction from most of us.

Common sense tells us that if we havea book­shelf that resembles an orgy ofself­help literature, we are either not will­ing to put the message into action or themessage is crap.

And finally, common sense tells us thatbeing more intelligent, more beautiful,more personally and professionally ac­cepted, richer, stronger or faster will notnecessarily mean we are happy. Happi­ness cannot be taught in 10 easy steps; itis a fickle emotion that flows and ebbswith circumstance. Contentment, on theother hand, is something altogetherachievable.

If however, being content is not sexyenoughfor you,feel free tosendadonationof R3000 to my personal bank account.I will then eagerly divulge ­ using perfectpitch and appropriate amounts of facialanimation ­ how to capture the cuddlybunny of success, hopping through greenpastures, spreading love, peace and for­tune with its magic bunny wand.

Easter – What’s it all about?>> Traditions and customs vary around the world

EASTER is one of the most impor­tant Christian festival. It com­memorates the death and resur­

rection of Jesus Christ.Churches are filled with flowers, and

there are special hymns and songs. Butnot all Easter customs are Christian;some, such as the Easter Bunny, are Pa­gan in origin.

The actual date of Easter changeseach year, and several other Christianfestivals fix their dates by reference toEaster.

In ancient times, the egg was a symbol of fer­tility and new beginnings. Christians adoptedthis to represent their Saviour's resurrection.

The Easter story is at the heart ofChristianity:

On Good Friday, Jesus Christ was ex­ecuted by crucifixion. His body was tak­en down from the cross, and buried ina cave.

The tomb was guarded and an enor­mous stone was put over the entrance,so that no­one could steal the body.

On the following Sunday, somewomen visited the grave and foundthat the stone had been moved, andthat the tomb was empty.

Jesus himself was seen that day,and for days afterwards by many peo­ple. His followers realised that God hadraised Jesus from the dead.

On the following Sunday, somewomen visited the grave and foundthat the stone had been moved, andthat the tomb was empty.

Jesus himself was seen that day, andfordaysafterwardsbymanypeople.Hisfollowers realised that God had raisedJesus from the dead.Easter Traditions

Lent is the period of 40 days whichcomes before Easter, beginning on AshWednesday.

For many Christians, this is a periodof fasting and repentance in prepara­tion for Easter, culminating in a feast ofseasonal and symbolic foods.Simnel cake

In the late 17th century, girls in ser­vice brought a rich fruit cake called sim­nel cake home to their mothers on thefourth Sunday of Lent. The cake wasenriched with marzipan and decorated

with 11 marzipan ballsrepresenting the 12apostles minus Judas,who betrayed Christ.Hot cross buns

The Greeks andEgyptians ate smallcakes or buns in honourof the respective god­desses that they wor­shipped. Buns markedwith a cross were eatenby the Saxons to hon­our their goddess Eo­stre ­ it is thought thebun represented themoon and the cross themoon's quarters. ToChristians, the crosssymbolises the crucifix­ion. You will see HotCross Buns in the shopsa lot around Eastertime.The Easter bunny

Due to its reproduc­tive proclivity, the rab­bit is also regarded as asymbol of fertility. Eggsare also symbolic ofnew life and fertility,hence one of the rea­sonswhytherabbitcar­ries a basket ofeggs.Easter eggsThroughout history,eggs have been associ­ated with Easter cele­brations.

In ancient times, theegg was a symbol offertility and new begin­nings. Christians ad­opted this to representtheir Saviour's resur­rection.

The tradition ofcolouring eggs in brightcolours ­ representingthe sunlight of spring ­goes back to the MiddleAges and is still an im­portant custom formany Christians.

In the UK, chocolateeggs are especiallypopular and Easter egghunts may be or­ganised to findthem.

Ushampeni we­spelling beeka­2013 uMonitor Nyawo.

uNyawo waziwinela imali,izwincwadi nemifundaze em­

va kokupela igama elithi‘omniscient.’

ISITHOMBE:CHRISTA VAN DERWALT

INTATHELI YEFEVER

UNDUNANKULU waKwaZulu­Natal, uMnuz Senzo Mchununenkampani yezindaba iMedia24, basayinde isivumelwanosokusabalalisa umqhudelwano we­spelling bee kusosonke isifundazwe saKwaZulu­Natal.

Lomqhudelwano we­spelling bee, waqalwa yiphep­handaba lakwaMedia24 iZululand Fever endaweni yase­Zululand ngowezi 2010. Ngenxa yesasasa nodumolwalomqhudelwano, uMedia24 ube esethatha isinqumosokuwusabalalisa esifundazweni sonke.

Ihhovisi likandunankulu emkhankasweni walo wok­uthuthukisa intsha, linqume ukubambisana namaphep­handaba eFever, iWeekly ne­Echo ukutshala noku­qhakambisa uthando lolimi lwesiNgisi ezikoleni zabamn­yama esifundazweni.

UMnuz Ishmet Davidson, oyinhloko yamaphephandabae­local news kwaMedia24, uthe inkampani ikujabulelelokhu kubambisana nehhovisi likandunankulu okuzokwenzaamakhulu ngamakhulu ezingane zesikole zingenele lomncin­tiswano. Imihlomulo ewinwa kulomncintiswano ihlanganisa im­ali, izincwadi nemifundaze.

“UMedia24 ubona i­spelling bee siqhakambisa uthando loku­funda ulimi lwesiNgisi. Ngalokhu kubambisana nehhovisi likand­unankulu, sikholelwa wukuthi sizoba nomthelela omuhleemfundweni esifundazweni sonke,” kusho uMnuzDavidson.

Ngonyaka odlule lo mncin­tiswano uwinwe nguMonitorNyawo ofunda ugrade 12 eKhan­dlela High School eSikhawinikanti ngo­2012 wayephume isibi­li. Uphumelele ukupela igamaelithi ‘omniscient’.

Undunankulu uxhasa i-spelling bee

NJALO uma sekufike iPhasika, ngiya­ye ngidabukele kakhulu abefundisi,izinceku zikaNkulunkulu ezakhethaumsebenzi engikholwa ukuthi unzi­ma ngaphezu kwayo yonke eminye,ngisho owejaji lasenkantolo imbala.

Lo mcabango ungifikele nge­sikhathi umngani wami uNyikinyib­hoxo engibuza ukuthi ngiyaya yininangalonyaka ePhasikeni. Ngim­phendule ngaphandle kokunanazangathi ngizoya. Ungibuze ukuthi ngi­yokwenzani, ngathula ngangam­phendula ngoba ngimazi kahle unk­abimalanga uma ezongichukuluza.

Unele wabona ukuthi ngiyamzi­ba, wazamulela phansi, washayasengathi uzikhulumela yedwawathi: “Wenza kahle mntakaVeziungizibe ngoba vele awazi uzon­giphendula uthini.”

Umngane wami­ke uyilenhloboengazibeki. Kuthe kusenjalo kwafikaomunye umngani wethu esakhulanaye, waphuma eceleni njengojosa­ka wayofundela ubufundisi. Esikole­ni wayekhaliphe ngendlela eyisi­manga umngane wethu lo, ez­iphuzela kwi­mathematicskangangoba othisha babemkhut­haza ukuthi afundele ubudokotela,kodwa waqeda enyuvesi waqondaeFederal Theological Seminary(Fedsem) eMgungundlovu wayo­fundela ubufundisi.

Abaningi banele bambona eyo­fundela ubufundisi, bezwakalabencinciza bathi: ‘Mm! what awaste!! wasted brains’.

Akahlalanga isikhathi esideumngani wethu lo. Usibingelele nje,waxolisa ngokusiphazamisa, san­cokola kancane washeshe wasishiyawathi umatasatasa kulezi zinsukuubuyekeza intshumayelo azoyethu­la enkonzweni yaseNtabeni.

“Yini entsha osazoyishumayelaabangayazi abantu,” kubuza uN­yikinyibhoxo kumfundisi.

Ngenhlanhla umfundisi uyamaziuNyikinyibhoxo njengoba ngishiloukuthi sakhula ndawonye. Umanewathi: “Wugodle lowo mbuzo wa­kho, ngizokuphendula kahle emvakwePhasika. Angifuni lutho oluzon­giphazamisa manje. Angiwugwemiumubuzo wakho, kodwa ngifunaukukuphendula kahle nginesikhathingoba ngibazi kahle labantuabacabangisa okwakho,” esho ezih­lekela evalelisa.

Okusicacele sinoNyikinyibhoxo,nesisale sikubhunga saze sahluka­na, ubulukhuni beZwi athe umen­gameli umnike lona kuleliPhasika,okungelokuqala kwayi­7 ashiwoyiNkosi uJesu ilenga esiPhamban­weni eKhalvari.

Cishe wonke umuntu uyalazileliZwi lokuqala elithi: “BABABATHETHELELE NGOBA ABAKWAZIABAKWENZAYO”.

Izincithabuchopho zeVangeli zi­vame ukuthi alikho iZwi eliyinkinganjengaleli.

“Kusafanele ngelinye ilangakube nenkonzo enkulu yokuthanda­zela bona abefundisi uqobo lwabo,”kusho uNyikinyibhoxo, “ngoba unzi­ma lo msebenzi wabo. Abezwaabantu. Izinceku zikaNkulunkuluzikhuluma zize zikhihlize amagwebukuze kushe amazwi, zishumayezaabantu abanenkani. Kungenangapha, kuphume ngapha,” ishoikhomba into kaMagaye, iNkom ‘es­engwa ilele.

Uthi uma nje abantu bengasebalalele abefundisi uma beshu­mayela ngokuthanda umakhel­wane, izingane zihloniphe abazali,kungabi khona ukubulalana, uku­

zondana, umona, zingaphela zonkelezi zinxushunxushu ezikhona emh­labeni.

Umfo kaCele ungikhumbuzeumthandazo wamaWeseli othi:“Nkulunkulu Somandla ongun­aphakade, owenza izimangalisoezinkulu. Hlisela bonke abefundisibeVangeli lakho, naphezu kwama­bandla abawaphetheyo umoyaophilisayo.”

Kube khona nomunye othi:“Nkulunkulu Somandla, Mthombowakho konke ukulunga, siyakuthan­daza ngokuthobekileyo ukuba ubu­sise onke amakhosi nezinduna, nal­abo abanamandla okwahlulelazonke izindaba zale lizwe. Baham­bise kukho KONKE OKULUNGILEYOuze ubangenise embusweni wakhoongunaphakade.”

Ngiyamvumela umngani wamiukuthi uma nje singase sibambelelekule migomo yokuphila, sibambele­lekuyongeqiniso,kungabanokuthu­la emhlabeni. Nezinceku zeNkosi,zingaphumula ekuphenduleni imi­buzo ethi: “Uphi loNkulunkulu en­imthandazayo?”

A panel van with seats perhapsMARCEL UPFOLD

FIRST IMPRESSIONS

When I requested a ride in theNV200, I was informed that it isa very popular vehicle and that

the journalists are queueing for a ride. Mycommon sense told me that due to this,the NV200 should offer an above averageexperience.

Seeing the NV200 for the first time Iwas quite impressed with the sloping frontend. The lines followed an angled line end­ing in the squarish rear compartment. Atthe back is a huge door, making the loadingof goods an easy task. It would appear asif the sloped front end contributes greatlyto the handling of the NV200 when ridinginto strong winds.

The interior is functional and straightforward ­ no fancy extras. The NV200boasts an amount of space which onewould only expect from larger vehicles.With the rear seats folded up there is animpressive2.3cu.mspace.Withthemiddlerow folded down the space is an enormous3.1 cubic metres.

With the large sliding doors on the side,access is not a problem for the middle row.Getting into the rear seats is a bit tight forlarger people. Up front, the driver’s seatcould have a bit more rearward slide space.

From the side it appears as of thewheels are a touch too small. In my opiniona 15” wheel might fit better. With the extratwo seats folded down, there is enoughspace for seven people.

THE RIDEThe NV200 had no problem getting un­

der way. However, after loading some pas­sengers in the NV200 was sluggish on thetorque. However, once the revs got beyond4000 the torque kicked in and it was bet­ter.

As it was, the day I had a few passen­

gers on board the Northwesterly wind washowling.

It hit the NV200 diagonally from theleft front and it was a bit like riding a bal­loon on water.

The effect of the wind on the NV200was apparent.

I LIKEThe two rear seats are definitely more

spacious and comfortable than some ofthe other 7­seaters on the market.

The turning circle is in fact a bit “scary”.I was very impressed with this fact. One

tends to accept vehicles which are slowturners, but the NV200 proverbially turnson a tickie.

The usable space of the NV200 is reallyhuge for the size of the vehicle.

OOPSIESWithout being prejudiced but still ob­

jective, I have to mention a number of oop­sies which in my opinion, if attended to, willimprove the NV200:

Rear side doors have no opening win­dows resulting in the NV200 getting quitestuffy and hot in the rear section, specificduring the summer months.

Although the air conditioning workswell it is not delivering enough air to therear passengers mainly as there are no airvents feeding the rear of the cabin.

There are no handles to hold onto whengettinginoroutoftheNV200inthemiddleor rear rows of seats.

The passengers which I had for this testnoted this immediately. This would furtherhelp to hold onto when driving on bumpyand winding roads.

The split of the middle seats is a 2/3fromtheleftsideand1/3fromtheright.Per­haps this should be the other way round.When you have three people in the middlerow and somebody needs to get out or inat the back, then either the right hand mid­dle row passenger has to get out or both theleft hand and middle passengers on the leftside must get out to allow the seat to folddown.

With most passengers normally getting

in on the left hand side (pavement side),this is a bit awkward.

The front door window winding mecha­nisms are placed at an awkward height,specifically on the driver’s side. It tends to“gnaw” at your knee whilst driving and itis difficult to have your leg in another posi­tion to avoid this.

VERDICTThe NV200, to my mind, does have a

place in the market. Why else would it bemarketed?

As a panel van with its large loadingspace and the low loading height it shouldmake the transporting of goods a pleasure.However in the combi version I get the feel­ing that it is the result of using a basic panelvan and then added some padding, seatsand windows.

It is as if there was no thorough thoughtprocess was undertaken during the interiordesign, resulting in the shortcomings men­tioned above.

In my opinion the NV200 would be ahandy mom’s taxi once the problem areascould be solved.

Butbythesametoken,bartheseissues,it is a nice fellow to drive. Personally I donot have a requirement for a combi, butyou’ll have the final verdict after a testdrive.

Once again my personal opinion is thata 15” wheel could make the driving experi­ence better and more stable, specificallywith windy conditions from the side orfront.
