Newly­weds lose all in fire>> Only their R1,8 million Audi parked under the log cabin was saved

SETON THOMPSON>>ucnews1@feveronline.co.za

ITwas all hands to thepumps — except theofficial fire brigade—

when a log cabin occu-pied by a newly marriedcoupleburntdown,alongwithmostof theirposses-sions. Only theirR1,8 millionAudiparkedunder the log cabin wassaved,plus some items inthe room safe.

Jannie and RobynKruyshaar from Delmas,were married at RockyBay Resorts near ParkRynie on Saturday after-noon.Theyhadbookedinfortheweddingnightandwent to therestaurant forbreakfast at around 9amon Sunday. Shortly after-wards theywereshockedto hear that their logcabin was burning.

A spokesperson forRocky Bay Resorts toldthe Fever that the areahad suffered its worstweather for a year on theFriday and Saturday,with some 200 mm rainmeasured at the resort in

that period. A spin-offwas the loss of waterpressure in damagedpipes.

The Umzinto fire sta-tionwas called at around10am,but the linewasonvoice mail. By the time aresponse was raised andthe fire engines arrived,the log cabin had beencompletely destroyed.With it went the bride’swedding dress, theirclothes, luggage, com-puters and other posses-sions.

Staff and strangerstried to help, grabbingbuckets and joining thefirefighters.

“The fire was sadden-ing for the victims and usbut we were happy withthe absence of injuriesand we give our unquali-fied gratitude to the gal-lant efforts to douse theflames by all concerned,”said the resort’s spokes-person.

The Fever under-stands that a forensic ex-pert has determined thatthe firewasnotcausedbyelectrical or any otherfault in the building.

Free homesfor the poor>> ‘Those earning under R3 500 a month get a free house’

SETON THOMPSON>>ucnews1@feveronline.co.za

APACKEDUmzintoTownHallwaswitnesson Tuesday, 29 October, evening to thekeenness of the Riverside Park popula-

tion to hear what the Umdoni Council had instore for them.

Ward 6 Councillor Themba Ngcobo guidedthemeeting throughsometrickystages,negoti-ating the flip-flops in policy by council in recentweeks.

Ngcobo toldhis constituents that theAfrican

National Congress as “the voice of the poor andmarginalised in our society” and as the rulingparty inUmdoni, is committed to “everypersonowning the roof over his or her head,whereverpossible”.

He added that the party is also agreed uponthe concept that it is pointless pursuing peoplewho cannot afford to pay for those roofs, letalone the arrears.

“Those earning under R3 500 per month,whichconstitutesthevastmajority,willgettheirhouse for free and not have to pay their arreardebts. They will take uninhibited transfer oftheir homes.”

ThiswasgoodnewsbecauseasectionofANCcouncillors had recently voted to rescind sucha resolution and change it to read to the effectthat thetitledeedswillbeendorsed,prohibitingtransfer of the relevant property until the debtis liquidated.

The next good newswaswhen implementa-tion agents SLB Construction were introducedandreportedonhowthehomes inquestionwillbe upgraded over the next eight to 10 monthsfrom December.

Virtually every part of the buildings, exceptthebasicstructures,willbeupgradedand itwillbe done without displacing occupants.

Ngcobo committed to influencing the em-ployment of as many Riverside Park residentsin unskilled jobs as possible on the contract.

He pointed out that more than 100 peoplehad been previously trained in such work.

JUST when the Toti Conservancy and resi-dents voiced concern regarding Metrorail’slack of effort to shore up the collapsed railwayembankment, repairs have started at the siteat ChainRocks inAmanzimtoti. The embank-ment collapsed last December after heavyrains.

The conservancy raised concerns at a re-cent committee meeting and sent a letter toMetrorail requesting feedback onwhat it wasplanning to do.

“Workat thesitehascommenced.Ourcon-cernsareasaresultofthestartoftherainysea-son. The contractor assigned to the pro-gramme is Leomat and an EnvironmentalManagement Plan was carried out by KerrySeppings Environmental Management Spe-cialists,”WayneMills, chief engineering tech-nician atMetrorail KZN told the Toti Conserv-ancy via e-mail.

Acting communications manager Isabelvan der Westhuizen confirmed that recon-struction of the embankment has started andexpressed apologies on behalf of MetrorailKZN to the commuters affected by thework inprogress.

“Metrorail would like to advise its custom-ersandthecommunitythatweareworkingonthe reconstruction of the embankment atChain Rocks in Amanzimtoti. Due to the highrisk on the remaining embankment and rail-way line, the safety of the community and thelocal environment, Prasarail has takenadeci-sion to commence with the reconstruction ofthe Amanzimtoti Railway Embankment.

No budget to cleartidal poolsSETON THOMPSON>>ucnews1@feveronline.co.za

IN what has become an annual if not bi-annual

crunch, the Umdoni Municipality is struggling to ar-range to pump out the sand-filled tidal pools in timefor the holiday season. The speed with which mostof the pools fill up, requiring cleaning out twice a year,is now aggravated by the fact that no funding hasbeen budgeted for.

Two years ago, council debated abandoning thepools to the inevitability of silting up. Public outcrystifled that thought and in a last-minute gasp before

Easter, the most popular pools were cleared. This waslargely through the largesse of local businessmanJames Tucker who did the job at a substantially dis-counted price of around R80 000, but it would costconsiderably more now, a year later.

Municipal Manager Xolani Luthuli told council andofficials that “when you propose a course of action,you need to quantify it and propose a source of fund-ing”.

It will contribute toevening out the gap between the rich andthe poor.’

MAKE a date with The Glitter Girls on 9 No-vember when Lisa Bobbert, Liesl Coppinand Marion Loudon, three of Durban’smost loved and versatile performers, willentertain at the Aliwal Theatre at Um-komaas Primary School at 8pm.

This means that the Glitter Girls are go-ing back to the days of spandex, big hairand co-ordinated dance moves. They willsee many old friends and the boys they fan-cied from afar, including three wild andwacky characters they introduce to the au-dience. They will also hear the voices ofsome of their old teachers, provided by Aar-on McIlroy.

Expect music from Madonna, Pink,Rihanna, Bonnie Tyler, Cindy Lauper, AlisonMoyet, Wham, The Eurtythmics, Abba andDuran Duran, among others.
