RESIDENTS at Phakwe village inMsinga are reeling from shock af-ter human body parts were foundunder a bush recently. Residentsexpressed fear that the incidentcould be related to satanic rituals.

This gruesome discovery wasmade by Bongani Ngubane as hewas herding goats in the Phakwearea, Msinga.To his shock andhorror, one of his dogs dragged ahuman head and part of a bodyfrombeneath a bush. Bongani ranoff to call others - he said the armsand legs were missing.

“We have made inquiriesaround the village, but nobodyknows anything,” said Ngubane.

Headman Zodlani Mweli con-firmed that thematterwas report-ed to him stating: “I was informedabout the incident. Iwill call a spe-cial meeting with the residentssoon. At this stage, it is difficult tofind the suspect,” he said.

Mweliurgedresidentstoremaincalm while the police are investi-gating the matter.Police spokes-person Colonel Jay Naicker said:“We can confirm that an inquestdocket was opened at MsingaSAPS after a body was found atPhakwe area. Investigations arecontinuing.”

WHO do you believe?A number of Enhlalakahle residents who

have had limited or no water over the pastweek, or our Umzinyathi officials who main­tain the problem only begun on Mondaymorning.

Early on Monday, the Greytown Gazettereceived a letter from a desperate residentasking what has happened to the basic andessential service of ensuring that water isfreely available to everyone?

Residents said they had appealed to Um­voti and Umzinyathi Municipalities, but noaction had been taken to remedy the drasticsituation.

No announcements had been made in thetownship that there were water supply prob­lems and no tankers had been around to pro­vide much needed water.

On Monday morning, the Greytown Ga­zette managed to contact an Umzinyathi of­ficial who said a tanker would be sent in­ within two hours residents were gratefullyhaving their cup of tea for the day.

Umzinyathi has replied:“Thank you for your inquiry

dated 4 August, 2014. Umzinyat-hi District Municipality has beenexperiencingburstwaterpipes inthe Nhlalakahle Township area.

The bursts are caused by aginginfrastructure and entrapped airin thepipelines.Over thepast fewyears, the municipality has beenfixing leaks and replacing sec-tions of pipelines that have failed.

This has resulted in water sav-ings that have improved the ac-cess of water to the Greytowncommunities.

Unfortunately, the pressure inthe pipelines increased after theleaks were repaired which con-tributes to furtherbursts lateron.Unless all the pipes are replacedat the same time, the problemspersists.

UmzinyathiDMisbusywith im-

plementing a bulk water projectwhich includes a new reservoirand pipeline that will serve Nhla-lakahle and 497 households.

KEEPgerms (and vampires) at bay!Not only veggies to eat but to cure

(but no guarantees):* Migraine: drape a cabbage leaf

round your head* Sunburn: a few slices of cool cu-

cumber will soothe* A bit farfetched - for rheuma-

tism - an artichoke into a glass ofwine. The article does not say

whether you should eat the arti-choke or just drink the wine.

* To keep germs (and vampires)at bay - eat garlic.

* Ancient Chinese beauty remedy- sleep with a facepack of rice flourand oil.

* Sootheachingmusclesandsun-burn-mix600mlcidervinegarwitha handful of aromatic herbs in yourbath.

* Another skin conditioner - goodoldmayonnaise. Ormix three partsrosewater with four parts glycer-ine.

* To cleanse the face: 120g al-mondoil, 30g lanolin and30gVase-line. Fats should be melted andstirred in then cooled.

* If you don't mind being sticky- mix a tablespoon honey, an eggyolk with a teaspoon of olive oil orwith a cupful of distilled water inwhich two handfuls of parsley havebeen boiled.Leave on the face for 15 minutes.Honey canalso beused for sunburn- mix a teaspoon with a beaten eggwhite andhalf a teaspoonwitch ha-zel. Apply.

PETUNIAS,whichwere firstdiscov-ered in the mid-1700 to early-1800's in South America, actuallylooked nothing like the stunners oftoday.

Petunias originally had smallwhite and purple flowers, whichweredevelopedbybreeders inGer-many and England into the largecolourful blooms seen everywhereIt's hard to imagine, when lookingat a petunia, that it is actually partof the potato family!

Petunia grandiflora, as the namesuggests, has large flowers requir-ing regular deadheading to keepthebloomscomingandspreadsvig-orously so would be more suitablefor garden beds.

Petunia multiflora has bloomsabout half the size, but double thequantity of grandiflora and theygrow more into a moundlike struc-ture which makes them perfect forfilling indipsorasborders foragar-den bed.

Petuniamilliflorahaveverysmallflowers, but they are prolific in na-ture. It is a really neat, compact

plant which makes it a winner forcontainer planting, whether in awindowbox, hangingbasket orpot.

When it comes to planting any ofthese, make sure that your soildrainswell and theywill get to baskin the sun for most of the day.

It's not essential, but you will

reap the rewards from giving thema monthly feed. Petunias are notparticularly thirsty. Let the soil dryout a bit between watering.

ST CATHRYN’S NEWS

BONGANIMkhize is admiredbymany.This38 year old resident from Lindelani infor-mal settlement was born disabled, but in-stead of being dependant on others, he ishelping others.Whilst many whine and whingeabout minor aches and pains,Bongani gets onwith it to helpthe youth of the community.

He is a qualified basket-ball coach and is puttingthis special skill to use forthe good of his communi-ty by coaching basketball.Bongani is not getting paidfor doing this and in fact,friendsbroughthis story to theGreytown Gazette - not him.He often has to use his own limitedfunds to get players to tournaments held

in other towns. This is truly admirable ifone also takes into account that he cannotwalk and has to use his wheelchair to getto the field a few kilometres away wherepractices take place.

Why does Bongani do this?“To develop the children andkeep them from doing drugs.”

He is always cheerful,with a smile on hisface, showing such dedica-tion to his fellow humanbeings. We can all learnfrom him.Anyone who would like todonate anything to assist

Bongani and the children he isgiving hope to, please drop off

at theGreytownGazette for forward-ing to him.
