Policy reversalcauses row>> Previously approved resolution to write off arrear debtsdue by poor occupiers of council homes had been effectivelyreversedSETON THOMPSON>>[email protected]

A CLASH erupted in an Umdoni Councilmeeting when ANC Ward 6 CouncillorThembaNgcobo suddenly foundout that

a previously approved resolution to effectivelywrite off arrear debts due by poor occupiers ofcouncil homes had been effectively reversed.Ngcoboargued that thepolicy switch flew in theface of established ANC policy and left him ex-posed for having assured the community that itwould be invoked.

Themunicipalityhasstruggledat lengthovertheyearstogetthelesseeresidentsoftheircoun-cil homes to commit to taking ownership, withtheconcomitantpay-offoftheirdebtsattransfer.Among the poorer elements of Umzinto’s popu-lation, the largely Indian residents of thesehomes at Ghandinagar and particularly River-side Park have hoped and been encouraged tobelieve that their debts would be written off.

The latest example occurred when a recentHuman Settlements committee meeting re-solved to recommend a total write-off of arreardebts for those earning under R3 500 amonth.

NgcobosaysthatthisisinsyncwiththeANCpoli-cy to provide free homes to those earningunderR3 500andhepointsout,thatcouldinclude99%of the Riverside residents.

Entering a council finance meeting on Tues-day,17September,he learnt thathis impressionwas wrong. The council’s executive committeehad amended the recommendation and for-warded it to the council general meeting with arecommendation to enforce a title deed en-dorsement to the full value of the debt.

Effectively, this means that the home cannotbe transferred to any other owner without pay-ment of the debt. While the owner could livethere without the debt being called up, it wouldbecomepayableifandwhenthepropertyissold.

Unawareofthisdramaticflip-flop,Ngcobois-sued a press release, published in a local news-paper, stating that the resolution had beenadopted.

Nowthat isshowntobeincorrect,he ispoint-ingout that thedecisiondirectlyrepudiatesANCpolicy. However, a supporter of the amendmentsummedup the contrary view that “there has tobe a cost to failing to repay a legitimate debt orelse everybody will be doing it”.

No response from municipality after unfavourable water test resultsSONJA NELL>>[email protected]

THE water in the stream next to BernadotteStreet in Amanzimtoti was tested for the secondtime on Monday, 14 October by AfriForum afterit conducted the first batch of tests in August.

AfriForum sent a letter to the Department ofWaterAffairsinwhichthecivilrightsorganisationexpressed its concern regarding thequality of thewater in the stream. The organisation also ap-pealed to the department to intervene urgently.

Todate, theeThekwiniMunicipality,whowasinformedof theunfavourabletestresults,hasnotresponded.

“AfriForumwrote a letter to the citymanageron 19 September and to date had no responsefrom the eThekwini Municipality. AfriForumgave its legal team instructions to draft the docu-ments to bring a criminal complaint against thecity manager, Sbu Sithole,” Fourie said.

The series of collapses earlier this year in amaintrunkseweralongBernadotteStreet,whichcausedahorrendoussmellandcontaminatedthestream, has since been replaced, but the streamhas not been rehabilitated and has not fully re-covered.

Chris Fourie, spokesperson for AfriForum inKwaZulu-Natal did a secondbatch ofwater testswithDawnBesterofB N KirkLaboratories, afterthe first tests done on 28 August indicated thatthe E. coli and faecal coliforms unit counts wereextremely high.

“The latest test results showed that thewaterKingsway High School pumps from the stream

for the irrigationof theirsport fieldshasanE.colicount of 10 890 000 per 100 ml of water. TheSouth African Governing Standards of 2004 dis-charge limit into natural watercourse is 1 000units per 100ml ofwater,” Fourie told the Fever.

AfriForum and delegates of the eThekwiniWaterandSanitationDepartmenthadameetingwhere the water issues were discussed.

“We had what I thought was a very positivemeeting.The test resultspresented tous showedthatsomeportionsof theriver thatweresampledare in a good or excellent conditionwhereas twosampleswerepoor.Oneof thesampleswastakenshortly after a pump station failure, so it is to beexpected that the result was poor. The secondsampleofconcerncamefromanareanearatoiletblock at a taxi rank, where polluted runoff oftenoccurs because of the abuse of this facility andother reasons, such as sewer blockages.

“Neitherofthesepollutionincidentshaveany-thing todowith theworkwearedoing to replacethesewer inBernadottePlace thathascollapsed.We have a temporary solution in place to dealwith that problem,” said Neil Macleod, the headof eThekwini’s Water and Sanitation Depart-ment.

Committee calls for action

>> UTECA insists itsdemands be takenseriously

SETON THOMPSON>>[email protected]

PERHAPSitwasthepoorturnoutat the protestmarch twoweeksago that induced the Umdoni

Municipality tobedismissive in itsre-sponse to theUmzintoTestingCentreAction committee (UTECA’s) memo-

randum, but it has succeeded inratcheting up the confrontation. In aseries of meetings last week, UTECAdemandedactionbe taken, summingup their attitudewith “wemeanbusi-ness”.

Several observers and analystshavetoldtheFeverthatthediverselistof demands was patently stitched to-gether todrawmaximumsupport forUTECA.

“The demand that all thoughts ofrelocating the testing centre be re-scindedremains thecore issue, espe-cially for the driving schools,” ex-

plained one commentator.“The demand for a taxi rank in

southern Umzinto is calculated to at-tract taxi operators plus some rele-vantbusiness leaders.Shelters for in-formal traders obviously interestedthe traders and their customers, theinformal settlement dwellers,” saidthe commentator.

“Aforensicauditof the2008disas-terrehabfundappeals toamuchwid-eraudienceof ratepayers,oppositionpoliticians and even the general pub-lic. Firing the municipal manager,whohascontrivedtoattractadiversi-

ty of critics, especially among the un-ions and municipal employees, addstothenumbers,”summedupthecom-mentator. The ANC core in councilandamongofficials hasbeen strivingtospreadoilontroubledwaters.Ithasbelatedly offered to put stakeholdersat thediscussionlevelandarelookingat keeping the Umzinto Test Centre“going in the short term”. They areasking for compelling evidence in re-gard to many of the allegations andareclaiming that since ithas takennofirm decisions yet, it is premature tochallenge the process.

However,anothercouncilstalwartclaims that Umdoni has spent a lot oftime and money in recent years on aproposal to establish a test centre op-posite the Umdoni prison.

“It is highly naive to suggest thatwewaitforthattohappenherebeforechallenging it,” said the commenta-tor.

Meanwhile, UTECA is mobilisingtowardsadisplayofstrengthandsup-port towards the end of the week ifcouncil does not get its message that“the most dangerous opponent is hewho has nothing to lose”.

THElatestoverall crime level in theScottburghpolice cluster area has again shown a declineover the 2012 equivalent, by about nine per-cent. This achievement was being boosted bya high rate of arrests and intensive patrolling.Burglary,bothresidentialandbusiness,armedrobbery and theft of motor vehicles remainedparticular concerns in total terms althoughthey were also mainly better on the month.Scottburgh, Park Rynie, Amandawe and Pen-nington remain areas of most concern.

In a number of beachfront communities,protecting holiday homes continues to absorba lot of effort from the police and security com-panies. In Bazley, for instance, the absence ofowners and control of the premises left in thehands of “caretakers” often results in unau-thorisedoccupationbyuninvitedpeople, someof them illegal immigrants. The police and se-curity companies are pushing for an ID systemforbothcaretakersandotherauthorisedoccu-pants to facilitate supervision.

TO a large part of the com-munity, the goings-on atcouncil and within the mu-nicipalities are the thingsthat yawns are made of,which is unfortunate be-cause that is where such is-sues as how much you willpay in rates and how goodyour roads and other facili-ties are, is decided.

Rightnow, thingsarebe-ginningtoheatupandinter-estingly nowhere are theyhotter than between differ-ing factions of the rulingANC and between ANC andits partners.

This week, we report onan open clash in councilwhich left oneANC council-lor demanding of his col-leagues “What does theANC stand for?” and accus-ing them of unethical be-haviour.Watchthisspaceasthe gloves slide off.

Glovesare off

Beste Fever,EK het onlangs weer familie van

Gautenggehadwat vir ‘nnaweekweg-breek by my oorgebly het.

Dit is so verfrissend om van buit-estaanders te hoor wat “werk” in diedorp en inwatter “goeie toestand” onsdorp blyk te wees.

Hulle was beïndruk met die skoonstrande en openbare areas, dieafwesigheid van slaggate in die paaie,minimale bedelaars en robotverkop-ers en die algehele vriendelikheid van

die plaaslike mense.Blykbaar is dinge daar waar hulle

bly in ‘n swakker kondisie as by ons enprobleme word nie so vinnig uitgesor-teer soos by ons nie.

En tog kla ons gemeenskappie ook,want wanneer ‘n mens binne ‘n situa-sie of gemeenskap staan, is jy geneigombaievandienegatieweomjoueerd-erraaktesienasenigepositiewedinge.Dithetmygeïnspireerommetnuweoëna Toti te probeer kyk.

Makliker gesê as gedaan. Want ek,

as ‘n inwoner van die dorp sien diegemorsbydiebiblioteeknadatditdeur‘n skoolgroep besoek is. Ek sien diegemors op die strand wanneer daaroop vure gemaakword—waaropheelongeslagte hoenders geofferword?Endan net daar gelos word.

Ek sien ook die robots wat vir lanknie vervang word nie en so kan ek aanen aan gaan.

Maarasek so luisternamyGautengbesoekers, dan lyk dit vir my asof hierbaie dinge is wat “werk” ook in Toti.

Dingewat reg is en deur ons stadsraaden raadslede se toewyding en hardewerk reg gehou word.

Vir hulle wat so agter die skermshierdie ondankbarewerk doen enminerkenning enwaardering ontvang,wilek net sê, dankie.

Ek persoonlik het myself voorge-neemomminderteklaenmeerwaard-erend te wees. Mag meer mense die-selfde gesindheid aanneem.

Sandra SwartAmanzimtoti

Toti lyk goed — besoekers

Beste Fever,SOOSwat die einde vandie jaarnader kom,

raak dit weer tyd dat mens dinge rondom joubegin herevalueer.

Noodgedwongekykouersterugopdieakad-emiese jaar en hoe hul kinders gevorderhet.

Asjoukindakademiesgoedvaarisdaarsek-er nie klagtes nie.

Maar indien daar ‘n probleem met belan-grike vakke soos Wiskunde is, en jy besef dandat die stappewat jy geneemhet tot dusver omjou kind te help, nie veel vrugte afgewerp hetnie, dan het jy rede tot kommer.

Veral as jynie veel samewerking vandie sk-ool se kant af kry nie.

Dan wonder die plaaslike skole waaromouers hul kinders in ander skole buite die areainskryf.

Hulle neem sulke ouers (asook die anderskole) kwalik endinkverkeerdelikdit gaanoorbeurse.

Ek en menige ander ouers op hierdie dorpwonder wat gaan dit verg van die plaaslikeskole om wakker te skrik.

Omverantwoordelikheid te aanvaarvaar inhul rol in die kinders se algehele prestasie aldan nie.

Ek het nou al netmooi al die verskonings indie boek gehoor wat probeer regverdighoekom sommige leerlinge hier so swakvaar.

Diebeloftesvandieanderskoleblykooknieleëbeloftes teweesnie,want vandiewat reedsdie skuif gemaak het is daar heelparty verbe-tering en sukses stories.

Dit laat mens wonder hoekom een van dieplaaslike laerskole ‘n advertensie bord ophul terrein het wat ‘n Durban skool adver-teer.

Dear Fever,THE separation between

partyandstateisademocraticprinciple that is being com-promised in Umdoni. It istherefore inevitable that serv-icedeliverywill fail,duetotwovery simple reasons:

• The maintenance of dis-cipline, productivity and ac-countability cannot be en-forced in an organisation thattakes directives from an out-side party.

• Priorities will be mis-placed and resources will bemisdirected towards partygoalsratherthansocialneeds.

The allegations comingfromtheunionsaresupportedby my own observations. Insimple termsUmdoni ishead-ingthesamewayUguwent,ascadre deployment takes rootandflourishes.ThecommentsI most frequently hearthroughout the length andbreathofUmdoniis:“Thetick-et toa job inUmdoni isanANCmembership card and the

ticket to a tender is through acommitment to the party.”

Last week the ANC’s Dur-banofficemademeabusinessoffer, as it has donewith otherlocal businesses. i.e. supportuswithadonationandwewillhelpyourbusinessgrow.Pres-ident Jacob Zuma made thesame statement on nationaltelevision. We recently wit-nessedUmdoni’smayorhold-inganANCevent on theScott-burgh beachfront withoutcouncil approval. The appli-cation for the event waslodgedbyanUmdoni employ-ee, during working hours onmunicipal stationery, andsubmitted irregularly. I re-cently received an invitationto anANCevent at theUmzin-toHall,withtheANC’slogo,onmunicipal stationary, deliv-ered by a municipal employ-ee, during working hours.Even the mayor’s secretarywas involved, she phonedmeto inform me that my invitewas a mistake. The Ward 3

branch of the ANC is chairedby a municipal employee andthe assistant town planner isfrequently engaged in cam-paignactivity.Thelistgoeson-as the lights go out.

Sowho is toblame for this?Itmustbethemunicipalcoun-cil whose job it is to exerciseoversight and demand ac-countability. Who appointsthe council? The citizens ofUmdoni do at the ballot box.Takeadrive throughUmzintoand ask yourself if the past 19years of political choices hasyielded good results. Look atthe condition of your roadsand ask the same question.Look at the municipality’sbudget andask again if the fo-cus is on “a better life for all”or “a better life for those whoare connected”. The rates wepay are used only to pay forsalaries and allowances. Ifthis does not motivate you toregister to vote, nothing will.

Dear Fever,I REFER to the article in the Up-

Has anyone, scientist or sharkor marine expert, done any re-search on what the implications of

these electrical barriers may haveon sharks, or for that matter,humans? If so I would be very in-terested to see the results.

I have not heard about Austral-ia switching to electrical barriersand being a First World country, ifthis was a safer and more human

way of keeping swimmers safe,then surely it would have done soyears ago.

If anyone has more informa-tion regarding these electrical bar-riers and their effects, I would liketo read about it.

NISSANmakes diesel exciting>> New Juke diesel is an all-encompassing ‘wear-your-heart-on-your-sleeve’ expression of individuality and personality

THE Nissan Juke range has been ex-panded yet again in South Africawith the introduction of the new Nis-

san Juke 1.5 dCi Acenta+.The newest member of the Juke family

has arrived hot on the trail of the recently-introduced Juke CVT automatic and all-wheel drive (AWD) models, expanding theline-up to seven striking derivatives.

The new Juke diesel, like its siblings, isrewriting automotive convention by flip-ping the coin on diesel power. Now, dieselis cool, as proved in Europe where dieselmakes up 40% of Juke sales since launch.

With its audacious looks, crossover de-sign and enhanced economy, the new Jukediesel is an all-encompassing “wear-your-heart-on-your-sleeve” expression of indi-viduality and personality — not just anoth-er A-to-B driving machine.

“The recent expansion of the Jukerange means that South Africans who dareto be different have even more to choosefrom. The addition of the new diesel addsa whole new dimension to the Juke range,where absolute frugality meets unbridleddriveability in a completely unique pack-age. The new Juke diesel is exciting in everyrespect – whether that means achievingunbelievable fuel economy or enjoying theenormous amount of torque in a sporty

drive.“As a finalist in the 2013 WesBank/

SAGMJ Car of the Year competition, a nom-inee for the 2013 Women on Wheels Car ofthe Year as well as being crowned the 2013Best Buy in the light SUV/crossover seg-ment by Car Magazine, the Nissan Juke ismaking waves as an aspirational and emo-tive product. It’s a car for those who defyconvention and this sixth-generation newdiesel-engined derivative is only going toup the pace,” says Nancy Reddy, productmanager for Juke at Nissan South Africa.

Sexy, suave, expressive and sporty onone hand, yet refined, relaxing, economicaland efficient on the other – the new NissanJuke diesel is a car with two personalities.A car to start a party, to set a trend andlead the pack.

The unconventional design — whichhas been adored by over 8 500 new SouthAfrican owners since the Juke waslaunched locally in October 2011 — is stillable to turn heads in the traffic and createa stir in parking lots. A car that gets younoticed, that’s for sure. Compact propor-tions, edgy and daring design cues makethe Juke unmistakable and completely dif-ferent to the norm.

As much as the exterior excites, anequally funky interior – where swooping

surfaces and quality finishes impart asense of excitement and smart thinking –makes the Juke fun, even when stationary.

The new Juke diesel plays on all the es-tablished Juke quirks and elevates them toa new level – a level where spirited per-formance and incredible driveability aremet by utterly exceptional fuel efficiency.Drive it like your hair is on fire or cruisearound as relaxed as a lizard in the sun –the choice is yours.

Diesel gets excitingLinked to the front wheels via a six-

speed manual gearbox, the 1.5-litre com-mon rail turbocharged diesel engine in thenew Juke diesel produces 81 kW at4 000 rpm and a great whack of torque to

boot – 260 Nm from just 1 500 rpm. Theresult is a mix of great driving performanceand brilliant fuel economy – the new Juke1.5 dCi returns a combined cycle average fu-el consumption figure of just 4.2-litres per100 km, with carbon emissions of just 109g/km.

The Euro 5-compliant 1.5 dCi engine –which requires 50 ppm or low-sulphur die-sel – is now in its sixth iteration, the fruitsof constant development, refinement andemployment of new technology allowingfor endless advances in reducing fuel con-sumption, carbon dioxide emissions andNVH levels. The engine features a reduc-tion in combustion noises as well as new-generation start-stop technology, with

smart management technology which en-sures a quick restart procedure – the en-gine firing up again within 0.5 seconds ofthe clutch being engaged.

Other improvements can be attributedto the adoption of revised piezo-electricfuel injection nozzles — which reduce un-burnt fuel after the combustion process byas much as 15% thanks to a more precisespray pattern — and a low-inertia, variablegeometry turbocharger which makes useofamoredirectandefficientair intakeflowpath.

The adoption of a new closed-loop,low-pressure exhaust gas recycling system(EGR) is also a major contributor to the im-proved emissions and economy, at thesame time spearheading the 1.5 dCi enginewith forthcoming Euro 6 regulations. TheEGR system sees exhaust gases cooled andreintroduced to the intake system to capi-talise on unburnt fuel. The oil pump has al-so seen improvement, where a new ther-mostatically-controlled variable-dis-placement system reduces internal frictionby adapting to the engine’s needs and theoil’s viscosity automatically. — Supplied.

Lake Eland Mile celebrity shinesTHE celebrity that will be present at next month’sLake Eland Mile open water swim, Rianne Hall, placedfourth overall in the recent NABBA Miss UniverseToned Figure competition in Manchester, England.

The Hillcrest-based fitness athlete has a swim-ming background and Lake Eland Mile event co-ordi-nator Samantha Botha believes Hall’s physique is theperfect example of the numerous benefits of swim-

ming.“Swimming works

practically all of the mus-cles in the body on a varie-

ty of strokes and can develop a swimmer’s generalstrength, cardiovascular fitness and endurance. Thereare two elements of a swimmer’s build: tone andshape. Abdominal muscles are visible, triceps and bi-ceps are clearly visible and the calves are usuallyprominent. Rianne is a picture postcard of this phy-

sique, which goes to show the long-term benefits ofswimming training,” said Botha.

Hall started swimming at the age of six until theend of her schooling career, when she took part in the1993 World Championships in Barcelona, Spain. Dur-ingthistime,shetrained4-5kmaday,fivedaysaweekand the gym became her home during winter training.This, in turn, laid the foundation for her future loveand achievements in fitness and physique develop-ment.

Her achievements come with great influence fromher father Piet Botha. The 76-year-old is a formerWaterbuck and Northern Transvaal lifesaving coachand can still be found in the gym each morning.

Hall will be signing autographs, sharing informa-tion on nutrition and assisting Margate SwimmingClub chairman PJ Botha during the prize-giving func-tion at the Lake Eland Mile, which will take place atLake Eland Game Reserve on 3 November.

The event caters for swimmers between the agesof six and 76, families, schools, corporates and clubs,who’ll compete for their share of the R58 000 in cashand prizes that will be up for grabs. Spot prizesvalued over R7 000 will also be given away to specta-tors.
