Toti volunteers‘COME CLEAN’

>> Community urged totake ownership of thetown and river

SONJA NELL>>[email protected]

CONSIDERING the desperatestate of the Amanzimtoti Riverand the eThekwini Munici-

pality’s inadequacy to solve theproblem, the community engaged in aclean-up operation to restore the riverto its former glory.

Groups, led by various organisers,got their hands dirty on several occa-sions over the past weeks to clear theriver of rubbish, obstructions andhyacinth.

The one group, led by Morné andAileen Swanepoel from CombatCoaching.comgym, was astonished by whatthey found in the river.

“Besides the normal rubbish suchas plastic, we removed oil-soaked un-derfelt and carpets, oil filters, tyres,windscreens and shoes from the river.

“In three hours we accomplished alot, but there is still so much to do, sowe will do another clean-up on Sun-day,” Aileen said. She also encouragedthe community to take ownership ofthe town and the river and not to waitfor the municipality to do it for them.

“We urge the community to notonly get involved and to help withthese clean-ups, but to be responsiblecitizens — after all it is our river andour town.”

Inaseparateclean-upinitiative, theAmanzimtoti SPCA, with volunteers,executed a similar river clean-up.

The gym’s next clean-up will takeplace on Saturday, 7 June from 12pmto 1pm, provided it’s not raining.

Road contractsin spotlight>> Questions were asked whether the municipality wasmonitoring the performance of the contractor as there had beenunfavourable comments on the quality of his work

SETON THOMPSON>>[email protected]

UMDONI’s May Executive committee meetingheard that the resigned technical servicesgeneralmanager NkyisoManyati and/or his

deputySipiweGumedehadbeen“moonlighting”asthe engineer on a major road contract.

This revelation was dropped as an aside duringdiscussion of three road repair contracts worthR8 million which were awarded to Mami’s Con-structionandsub-contractorHambaKahle inFree-land Park, Gandinagar and Pennington.

It was DA Councillor Edwyn Baptie who kickedoff thesubject,askingwhether themunicipalitywasmonitoring the performance of the contractor as hehad been hearing unfavourable comments on thequality of the work.

However, the relevant official responded that it

was being well monitored since the implementingengineer on the project was also the head of the de-partment that was monitoring it.

This surprising and conflicting procedure waschallenged by Speaker Sykes Naidoo, saying that“something is not right — who is looking after themunicipality’s interests”.

MayorSiyabongaKhwelasaid:“Allinall,wehavea problem and the municipal manager should lookinto it and explain.”

Neither of the twoofficials namedwaspresent atthemeeting to explain, a fact commented on by themayor. In their absencemunicipal manager XolaniLuthuli indicated that hewas unaware of this situa-tion.

“Iagree[withcommentsmade].Weneedtomeet.MrManyati is leaving on 22May— the tar is liftingup, the sub-base is a serious issue and I am not anengineer.”

Recycling ‘class’held in Toti>> Aim was to provide information on the different aspects of recycling


THEPaper Recycling AssociationofSouthAfrica(Prasa)hostedaninsightful recyclingworkshopat

theAmanzimtotiCivicHallonMonday,26 May to spread the message “PaperRecycling Rocks” to the community.

Informal collectors from Aman-zimtotiandsurroundingareasbenefit-edfromtheworkshoponrecycling,theenvironmentalbenefitsandhowit cancreate income- generation opportuni-ties.

“The aim of the workshop was tocreate awareness and to educate andtoprovide informationon thedifferentaspects of recycling,” explained JennyReddy, co-ordinator for learning,documentation and training for theDepartment of InfrastructureManagement and SocioeconomicDevelopment at the eThekwiniMunicipality.

Shesaidthattheintentionwastoin-volve communities inusinghouseholdwastethatcanberecycled,reused,andrestored.

“For the paper industry and eventhe informal waste collector, paper isnotwaste,butavaluablesourceoffibreused in paper manufacture.

“It also plays a big part in job crea-tion — from the people who walk thestreets collecting recyclables to bigcompanies who employ people to re-cover,weighandsortrecyclables,”saidUrsula Henneberry, Prasa’s opera-tions director.

Interest was piqued when Hen-neberry explained how collectors’ in-comefromsellingrecyclablepapercanbe increased.

Many workshop attendees wereunaware that milk and juice cartonswere100%recyclablehowever, takingthe audience through a simulatedpulping process using old milk andjuice cartons, removed any doubt.

Henneberry noted that Prasavalued theopportunity to interactwithToti waste collectors. She said the factthat the event was supported by CllrAndré Beetge is important becausemunicipalities can assist in the fightagainstwasting valuable resources bybudgeting for and providing house-holds with a separate bag into whichtheycanput theirdry recyclablemate-rials.

Beetge paid tribute to thepresenters.

“The topic of recycling projects andthe opportunities that it might createare often debated, however, Amanz-imtoti [inparticular]andits immediatesurround, play host to a concernedcommunity, many of whom have theenvironment at heart,” Beetge said.

Safety tips for communityCOMMUNITY Policing, Amanz-imtoti district offers the follow-ing simple, but crucial, tips tosecure your household:

• Seek qualified advice from asecurity consultant who will car-ry out a risk assessment andrecommend an alarm systemspecifically suited to your prop-erty.

• Make sure that your chosensecurity provider is a registeredmember of the South African In-truder Detection Service Associ-ation as this is a guarantee thatany work carried out by themand equipment installed meetsthe appropriate industry stand-ards.

• Test your alarm at leastonce a month and immediatelycontact a technician if it is faulty.It is important to inform yoursecurity provider that you are“testing” your system.

• Where possible, install

exterior lighting that can becontrolled remotely from insidethe house. It is also worthconsidering demand lightingwhich is activated by a motiondetector.

• Increase visibility — highwalls or tall hedges inside ob-scure your view of the property.Remove these if possible.

• Automatic gates are prefer-able as you don’t have to leavethe safety of your vehicle to ac-cess your premises.

• Install a safe to store valua-bles and copies of keys. Wallsafes are usually not fireproofand therefore not suitable forcash or documents.

• Keep updated emergencycontact numbers on the speed-dial function on your phone.

Together we can make a dif-ference.

Please remember to reportany incident to [email protected]

— Community Policing,Amanzimtoti District

• Create a “safe area”in your home by fit-ting a wrought- irongate or an expandinggrille gate into whichthe family can retreatin an emergency.

• Reduce foliage andbushes in the vicinityof your driveway asthese act as hidingplaces for would-becriminals.

GHGEI for 2012 identified>> Total emissions for 2012 are estimated to be around 29 360 395 tons of CO2e

FEVER REPORTER

THE eThekwini Municipality has fi-nalised the Greenhouse Gas Emis-sions Inventory (GHGEI) for 2012.Theinventoryidentifiesthesourcesofgreenhouse gas (GHG) emissionsfrom the government and public sec-tors within the eThekwini Municipalarea.

The inventory was compiled toplan climate changemitigation strat-egies within the municipality.

Total emissions for 2012 are esti-mated to be around 29 360 395 tonsof CO2e, which translates to2 294 110 tons of CO2e (8%) morethanthe2010baselineand1 710 996tonsofCO2e (6%)more than the2011inventory.

Total local government emissions

for the 2012 period were 1 526 431 tCO2e. The municipality sector pro-duces 5.2%of the total emissions, thelargest contributor being electricityconsumption with 3.8% of the totalemissions (2.4% from transmissionand distribution losses).

DerekMorgan, seniormanager atthe energy office noted: “We are im-provingourdatacollectioneveryyear,with this inventorybeing themostac-

curate to date.”The comparison of the past three

years isnotenoughfor themunicipal-ity to make a statement regarding itsperformance in terms of reduction ofGHG emissions.

However, the 2012 results showthat there is a slight increase in emis-sions which is due to an improvedmethodology for the collection of ap-plicable information.

Efforts fromthemunicipality tore-duce its emissionsmaybereflected intheanalysis infuturewhentheresultsreflect new renewable energy facili-ties and other policies in place for themitigation of the GHG emissions.

To further improve the reliability,completeness and accuracy of theinventory in future years the munici-pality will be working on identifyingmeansofcollectingaccuratedataper-

Gehoorsaamheid voor gebedVIR jare al verwag ek, soos baie an-deropregteChristene, grootskaalsegeestelikeherlewing inAmanzimto-ti. Daar het al vele profesieë vanuitbetroubare bronne uitgegaan oordie laaste 15 jaarwat daaropdui datditwerklikGodseWilisdatdaarHer-lewing moet kom, maar ongelukkighet die langverwagte herlewing nognie gekom nie – ten spyte van kon-stante gebede wat vir die saak ge-doenword.Die laaste15 jaarhet int-eendeel net meer morele verval ensmart in hierdie gemeenskapmeegebring. Die behoefte aangrootskaalseherlewing ismeernod-ig as ooit vantevore, maar hoekomgebeur dit nie?

Soos vir baie ander, breek dit myhart om te sien hoe Amanzimtoti

daagliks verder verval in die greepvan misdaad en allerlei perver-siteite. Die plaag van misdaad watdieafgelope20 jaar soos veldbranddeur Suid-Afrika versprei het, hetook in die laaste paar jaar hier inAmanzimtoti begin deurtrek en ditaffekteereenenelkbinnehierdiege-meenskap. Die enigste hoop omhierdie tragiese proses te stuit, isware, opregte bekering in die hartevan die mense in hierdie dorp. Ditkan alleenlik gebeur wanneer dieChristen-gemeeskapwatvirherlew-ing bid, eerder die mense binne enbuite die kerk begin aanspreek oorhul sondes en aanspoor om gehoor-saam te word aan God se Woord enophouomblootagterhullegebedeteskuil. Moenie my verkeerd verstaan

nie – gebed is uiters belangrik,maargehoorsaamheid aan God is nogmeer belangrik en dit is wat werklikontbreek onder meeste mense.

Ongelukkig is dit juis die Chris-tene wat ongehoorsaam aan dieWoordvanGodgewordhetengebedook die substituut vir gehoorsaam-heid geword het. God seWoord biedgeenkompromieëvirsondenieeninwêreld waar kompromie die nuwe

wagwoord is, sal dieBybel geenplekvind nie, maar waar God en SyWoordverwerpword, sal Syoordeelvolg en dan sal gebed sonder beker-ing kragteloos wees en die Herlew-ing wat so broodnodig is, ons blyontwyk.

Vehicle-service warningTHIS a warning to motorists. Checkthat your wheel nuts are properlytightened before you drive off afterhaving your vehicle serviced, just incase the service involved removingany or all of the wheels. Recently afamilywas killedwhen awheel cameoff while they were going down VanReenen’s Pass.

We had our bakkie serviced re-cently before heading off on holidaytwo days later. A couple of days laterwe heard a noise from one of thewheels — the left back wheel waswobbling badly. Investigationshowed that three wheel nuts hadsheared off and the other three wereloose.

My husband obtained and fittedsix new nuts, albeit not the correctones.

On returning home we took ourbakkieback to theworkshopwhere itwasadmitted thatawheel,orwheels,had been removed in order to attendto something during the service andthat they would look at their CCTVfootage.

Weweren’tchargedforthesixnewcorrect-size nuts they ordered andfitted for us, but to date we have hadno apology from the workshopmanager, nor have we had any feed-back regarding the CCTV.

Talking to the peopleTHE key issue for any governmentbody should be communicating withits community if we all are to walkwhatwetalk–ruleof thepeoplebythepeople.

Whether a municipality has thatintentionhas tobe judgedby farmorethan just having a communicationsdepartment.

Communicating has to be done atmany levels and communicationsde-partments tend to be at a relativelysubordinate level.

The powers that be have attempt-ed to provide those levels via wardcouncillors, ward committees, com-

munity liaison officers, project steer-ing committees and communicationofficers.

But the problem with this compli-cated scenario is lack of structure.They are all falling over each otherand the community ends up with awider variety of answers than theyhave questions and no idea which isdefinitive.

What it needs is somebody whosits at the arm of the mayor and mu-nicipal manager, somebody who hasunfettered access to them, to analyseand guide the two way flow of infor-mation.

Father’s Day ‘Top Gear’ treat


UMDONIMunicipality “has a serioussupervision problem— people do asthey please”.

In just those words, no less an au-thority on the situation than Munici-pal Manager Xolani Luthuli, briefedthe Executive committee meeting onTuesday 20 May.

“We wash our hands — no onemanages things.”

SpeakerSykesNaidooputitanoth-er waywhen he pointed out that “thepeople are not happy with us”.

Behindtheseobservationslayasa-gaofmanagement lapsesandoperat-

ing deficiencies, many of which hadsurfaced in the finance and adminis-trationreportsalthoughsomestartedelsewhere too. Road repair contractstotalling some R8 million had been

awarded to one contractor who wasseentobeliterallytreatingthesurfacerather than the underlying causes.

Aproportionofmunicipal vehicleshad non-functioning odometers —

coincidentally or otherwise — andmanyvehicleswere inastateofdisre-pair. A tipper truck, reported to haveusedR64 000ofdieselhadnoodome-ter while another soaked up R53 000

diesel standing idle in the workshop.Ruling party members were also

critical of failures, including MayorSiyabonga Khwela who commented:“I am receiving calls fromall over be-tween Freedom Park to Mtalume.”Road repairs, street lighting andverge cutting were all cited as areaswhere service delivery was “lettingthe side down”, often due to supervi-sory and management deficiencies.

Such views led the discussion intothe age-old argument of preferencefor in-house staff over outside con-tractors to deliver the services.Whileno resolution was reached, it ap-peared that consensus was swingingtowardsthe in-housestaffoption,buteither way “management has to stepupsupervisionandmonitoringofper-formance”.

Ways to be your own doctor>> There are four things you should monitor every day to make sure you are living healthily

THERE are 10 vital steps tomanaging your own health,take charge with these easy

tips.• Have a PERF-ect dayEssentially, there are four

things you should monitor everyday to make sure you are livinghealthily — the amount of freshfruit and vegetables you eat (pro-duce). Whether you walked andwere active (exercise). Whetheryou got at least 15 minutes oflaughter and fun time for yourself(relaxation). Whether you gotenough beans, grains and otherhigh-fibre foods (fibre). If you cansay you did well on all four, yourday has been healthy.

• Get naked every two or threemonths

Then, with your partner (orfriend), conductahead-to-toeskincheck, looking for any newmoles,changed moles, suspicious spotsor rashes. Be sure to check yourscalp, between your toes and fin-gers, and the underside of yourarms. If you find anything worry-ing, see your doctor.

Do the ABCD test when check-ing moles, looking out for thesepossible danger signs:

Asymmetry: the two halves ofthe mole don’t match.

Border irregularity: the edgesof the mole are jagged.

Colour uneven: differentshadesofblack,brownorpink.Di-ameter more than 6mm.

• Monitor your sleepinessThere are three good ways to

tell if you’re not getting enoughsleep. First, do you require analarmclocktowakeupmostmorn-ings? Second, do you become

drowsy in the afternoon, to thepoint that itaffectswhatyou’redo-ing?

Third,doyoudozeoffshortlyaf-ter eating dinner? If the answer toany of these is yes, you needmoresleep.Andifyou’regettingenoughsleep (about eight hours) and stillhave these troubles, talk to yourdoctor about your low energy.

• Measure your height everyyear after you turn 50

This is especially important forwomen as a way of assessing pos-ture and skeletal health. A de-crease in stature canbeas inform-ative as a change in abonedensitytest for monitoring your overallbone health. If you notice changesor youhave other concerns, speakto your doctor.

• Keep track of the colour ofyour urine

This may sound weird, but it’sa useful health indicator. Yoururine should be a clear, straw col-our— if it’s dark or smells strong,you may not be drinking enoughfluids. If it stays dark-colouredevenafteryou increaseyour liquidintake,makeanappointmentwithyour doctor. If it’s bright yellow, itmaybe theBvitamins inyourmul-tivitamintablets (ifyoutakethem).

• Count your heartbeats afteryou exercise

A study published in the Jour-nal of theAmericanMedical Asso-ciation found that women withpoor heart rate recovery (HRR) af-ter exercise had twice the risk ofhaving a heart attack within tenyearsas thosewhohadnormal re-covery rate.

Try this simple test to discoveryour HRR: next time you exercise,

for example, a strenuous 20-minute walk or a jog, count yourheartbeatsfor15secondsimmedi-atelyafterwards, thenmultiply theresultbyfourtogetyourheartrate.Sitdownandwait for twominutes,thencheckagain.Subtract thesec-ond number from the first. If it’sunder 55, yourHRR is higher thannormal and you should talk itthrough with your doctor.

• If youhavediabetes, examineyour feet every day

Diabeticsaresusceptible to footdamage, so should examine theirfeet carefully for any blisters, fun-gus, peeling skin, cuts or bruises.Because people with diabetes of-tenhavesomenervedamageintheextremities, thesedailyself-exam-inations offer critical clues as tohow well they’re managing theirblood sugar.

• Haveacardiovascularassess-ment

If you’re over 40 and not ontreatmentforheartdiseaseorhighbloodpressure, it’sworthgettingacardiovascular assessment forfuture heart attack and strokerisk.Youshouldalsoarrangeone if you’re under 40 witha strong family history ofheart attack or stroke.Bloodcholesterol is justoneof several factors thatneedsto be measured and as-sessed, along with yoursmoking status, blood glucoselevel, electrocardiogram (ECG)results and blood pressure.

Measuring cholesterol alone isnot enough, as “normal” choles-terol levels do not necessarilymean that your overall cardiovas-cular risk is “normal”. Ask for in-

formation and advice at your doc-tor’s surgery.

• Check your hairbrushIf you’ve noticed your hair is

fallingout,askyourdoctortocheckyour levels of blood ferritin,whichwill indicate how much iron yourbody is storing. Some studies sug-gest low levels may be related tounexplained hair loss. Thyroiddisease is another fairly commoncause.

• Check your blood pressureevery six months

You can do this yourself with ahomebloodpressuremonitor.YoucangetinformationfromtheHeartand Stroke Foundation (heart-foundation.co.za – type in “bloodpressure” in the searchbox). If thetopnumber ismore than140 (130if you have diabetes) and the bot-tom number is higher than 90 (80for diabetics), wait a day, thencheckitagain.If it’sstillhigh,makeanappointment toseeyourdoctor.

PHOTO: SOURCEDHave a healthy eatingplan.

Managing diabetes the healthy, safe way• CONSIDER the “plate method”.

Divide a medium-sized plate into foursections. A quarter of the plate should bedevoted to lean protein, like fish, chicken orturkey. Protein takes longer to digest andmakesyoufeelfull longersoyouwon’tbingeon unhealthy snacks.

Another quarter of the plate is for wholegrains, like whole-grain pasta, brown riceand quinoa. The remaining half goes to veg-etables and salad.

• Counting calories? Men should aim forabout 1 800 daily, women between 1 200and 1 500. The standard recommendationof 2 000 is for the average person whodoesn’t have diabetes, isn’t overweight andis moderately active, said Angel.

• Aim for complex carbohydrates, suchas fruits and vegetables, not refined carbsfound in white bread, white rice, cakes andcookies.

Fruit can be included with the meal oras a snack, but aim for the whole fruit asopposed to juices.

• Spread your meals throughout the dayto help regulate your blood sugar. Say youconsume 180 grams of carbohydrates in aday. If I take those 180 and spread themthrough small meals instead of pouring inall that glucose into your circulation at onetime, the pancreas can make insulin at thoselevels to control blood-sugar levels.

Type 2 diabetes can sometimes initiallybe managed through lifestyle modificationincluding a healthy diet and regular exercise.However, as the disease progresses, peoplewith type 2 diabetes are often prescribedtablets to control their blood glucose levels.These tablets are intended to be used in con-

junction with healthy eating and regularphysical activity, not as a substitute.

Diabetes tablets are not an oral form ofinsulin and they require insulin to be presentin the body to be effective.

Eventually it may be necessary to starttaking insulin to control blood glucose lev-els, when your body is no longer producingenough insulin of its own.

Sometimes tablets may be continued inaddition to insulin.

The aim of diabetes management is tokeep blood glucose levels as close to “nor-mal” as possible, that is between 4 to 6

mmol/L (fasting), as this will help preventboth short-term and long-term complica-tions.

Regular blood glucose monitoring is nec-essary to see if the treatment being fol-lowed is adequately controlling bloodglucose levels.

No matter which medication or manage-ment plan your doctor prescribes, make sureyou follow the instructions.

The pattern and frequency will dependon the individual, the tables and yourcircumstances.

INGXENYE yobumnandi bokubanomnganiukuthiuzinqumelawe-na ukuba ngumngani nomuntu

othile,njengamiengazinqumelauku-bawumngani noNyikinyibhoxo, um-fo kaNdosi.

Akufani nokuba nomzali, umfo-wenunomaudadewenungobaawuz-ikhetheli bona.

Okumnandikakhuluyizekubanz-ima ekubeni nomngani, ukufinyelelaesinqumweni sokuphuma nomasokubuqeda lobo bungani uma seku-qubukaizimoobonasengathizizoku-faka enkathazweni. Kodwa kubanomngani omane ubone ukuthi ku-fanele umbekezelele noma ngabekwenzekani, njengaye uNyikinyib-hoxo.

OkaNdosi unomkhutshana wok-uthiumakukhonaafunaukukubhod-

Nango phela esefika kwami njen-gokujwayelekile engicela ukuthingimbuzele kinina bafundi ukuthinithini ngombono kamhlonishwauMnuz Julius Malema wokuthiamalunguePhalamendekufanelean-galutholiusizolokwelashwa(medicalaid), nokuthi izingane zawo zifundeezikoleni zikaHulumeni zingayiezikoleni ezizimele (private schools),lezi ezidume ngelika ‘Model C’.

UMnuz Malema uthe ukholwawukuthi uma amalungu ePhala-mende engasebenzisa izikhungozempilo zomphakathi, nezinganeza-wo ziye ezikoleni zikaHulumeni ezi-setshenziswangezinye izingane,zin-galungiswa ngokukhulu ukushesha

izimo ezidala ukuthi kugcinesekukhona imibhikisho.

Angikholwa ukuthi kukhona ow-aziyo ukuthi umfo kaNdosi uphuzakumuphi umfula kwezombusazwenoma kwezepolitiki. Nami umangimbuza ukuthi ungakuphikwezepolitiki umane athi: “Niyahlu-pha nina zintatheli ngoba umuntuunele abeke umbono noma abuzeokuthile, bese niyantaza ngemiqon-do yenu ethanda ukuqhatha, nimh-langaniseneqembuelithilekantium-bonowumbononjekuphelele lapho.”

Uqhuba uthi: “NgiyamthandauMalema, noma ngingesiyena um-landeli weqembu lakhe i-EconomicFreedom Fighters (ECC), ngoba na-bazama ukumziba bazogcina bem-nakile. Sekwenzeka lento eyashiwowuNkkWinnieMandelaethi‘abaziba

Sobona sekwenzeka, nankaamehlo ephahle umbombo. Kodwaangikhathali ukuthi ubani uthini,iqiniso lithi ufikile uMalema ne-EFFyakhe,” kusho umfo kaNdosi ezelula.

Ngibona sengathi sekufike laphouzoshesha khona ngempela umshu-

Life ‘behind bars’ is bestBOTH the road and the mountain bike sideof Toti Cycling Club was busy with training,racing and having fun over the weekend.

The mountain bikers met at the oldIllovo Club at 6.30am on Saturday. Theydecided to explore an old route — “thetwo rivers” — that hasn’t been ridden fora while. They got in some nice fast dirtroad riding before hitting the rocky de-scent into the valley to cross the twosmall rivers in the valley. After a good longgentle uphill, they turned onto some rough,overgrown single track that took themback down across the river. This part hadto be portaged as the rocks were prettyslippery.

Another portage was needed to getback up part of the hill which was over-grown and bumpy to ride. The steepestpart of the uphill was ridden up, whichmade everyone happy about their techni-

cal achievements. The ride continuedaround Mnini Dam and back home. A good40-odd kilometres was done with a varietyof training techniques included.

On Sunday, quite a few Mambas metup at Giba MTBike Park at 10.30am to doa bit of a later ride. Much to their horror,they started riding in 28°C heat which rap-idly turned to an uncomfortable 30°C asthey ascended the gorge. But they pushedon in the hot conditions and managed todo a 23km ride around fantastic track.

Road riders left Engen in RockviewRoad on Saturday at 5.30am to do a rideto the Bluff. They did two laps around theBluff before heading home. On Sunday theprocess was supposed to be repeated butit seems as though Ron Waldburger put aspanner in the works with a few punctures,so the ride to the Bluff wasn’t reached .

Sunday’s ride was reported to have

been an “event-filled, puncture-ridden, en-tertaining ride, which allowed time to smellthe roses and take photos”. These rides arealways good to do as well as it remindseveryone that riding your bike is meant to

be enjoyable and fun.At least Waldburger rewarded the pa-

tience of the others by providing coffee.Riders’ route down the coast has been hin-dered by the new, rough and stony tar thathas been laid. This is a pity as that trainingroute is one of the most scenic and benefi-cial routes to ride.

The Sappi Howick Classic was held thisweekend. The race was reported to havebeen very hot, rocky, technically challeng-ing. There were plenty of uphill track to getlegs burning on. Two of our club membersdid really well in this race. Brennan Ander-son finished the 40kms in 2:07 and CindyTheunissen finished second lady overalland first veteran coming across the finishline in 2:32.

The next race that has been earmarkedas a club race is the Baynesfield race on 15June. This is looking to be a great race toenter and hopefully we will see a largenumber of orange jerseys on the track.

Toti Cycling Club has a social every

month at Lords and Legends where a guestspeaker will give a talk.

There is a single track that runs aroundLords and Legends that has been cut andis maintained by the club. This is open toany cyclists. Road riders ride from theEngen garage in Rockview Road, Tuesdayto Fridays from 5am. There are also moun-tain bike rides and road rides every week-end.

The club is holding its annual “The Toti69er” on 13 July . Information is on the TotiCycle Club website.

Entries for the Scottburgh mountainbike race are open on Roag. This will be heldon 31 August. Go to www.roag.co.za/enter-an-event/mtb/scottburgh-mtb-race.aspx for more information.

We have a two Facebook groups —Mambas MTBiking and Toti Roadies — onwhich information is posted.
