Police commissioner condemnsforeign national attacksTHE National SAPS Commissioner, General RiahPhiyega, has strongly condemned recent attacks onforeign nationals, particularly in KwaZulu-Natal. Thecommissioner also announced that additional publicorder policing members from the national office inGauteng will be brought in to support local police.
“The police on the ground are working extremelyhard to stabilise this violent situation. Criminals havetakenadvantageandareterrorisingcommunities,butthe police are committed to arresting those involved.We have identified the instigators and we effectingarrests. We also applaud community members whoare working with authorities to contain the situation,”said Phiyega while on a walkabout in the affectedareas.
“These attacks started at the end of March in Isip-ingo where people blockaded roads and looted shopsbelonging to foreigners. It then spread to Chatsworthand Umlazi.
“We strongly discourage people from taking thelaw into their own hands and caution that those
found to be breaking the law will be arrested and pros-ecuted. While the police are doing everything to re-store peace and stability, the national commissionerappeals to the community to refrain from committingcriminal acts, including attacks on others.
“A number of criminal cases have been opened atvarious police stations in the Umlazi cluster andChatsworth area. These cases include public violence,business robberies, murders, attempted murder, as-sault with intent to do grievous bodily harm and mali-cious damage to property.
“A total of 17 suspects linked to public violence,murder, business robberies and business burglaries.In one of these cases, members of the community as-sisted the police in arresting the suspects who brokeinto a furniture shop in Isipingo have been arrested.
“That shows that some local communities areagainst these attacks directed towards the foreignernationals and their properties. Our detectives willwork tirelessly to make sure that those involved incriminal activities are brought to book.” - Supplied.
SAPS launchesbusiness forumPRANAV DEEPLAL
TO address the problem of the increasingcrime rate in Isipingo the SAPS launchedan awareness programme and introducedit to the community and business owners.
The forum is dedicated to reducingcrime by trying to eliminate shoplifting andstopping drug addicts from committingcrimes in Isipingo.
The forum has been so successful thatbusiness owners, serious about combatingcrime, have employed and are paying somedrug addicts in a bid to stop them fromstealing to feed their habit.
The forum has also brought in informalbusiness traders so that they will not sup-port drug addicts who steal from the com-munity and then sell the goods.
Captain Des Ragavan said that the pro-gramme now has two security companieson board, which he said, helps reduce crimeand makes residents feel safer.
The forum meets every Thursday at6pm at the Isipingo police station.
For more information contact Ragavanon 031 913 1309.
Residentswarned notto drink riverwaterDUE to a power failure that af-fected the Amanzimtoti Waste-water Treatment Works, whichresulted in partially treated sew-age being discharged into theMbokodweni River, the public iswarned not to swim, bathe,fish or drink the water in theMbokodweni River downstreamof the Amanzimtoti WastewaterTreatment Works.
However, tap water is safe todrink.
The municipality has man-aged to restore the power to theworks and is testing the riverwater quality until the waste-water treatment process recov-ers completely.

Truth aboutwhoongaWHOONGA is a mixture of heroin, marijuana, ARVs,rat poison and detergents.
It has become very popular among the youth andis turning our community into a crime zone.
The ARVs, used to fight against HIV/Aids, are beingstolen from patients to be smoked for a moment ofbeing “high” instead of saving a life.
To stop using whoonga is very difficult and causesa lot of damage to the body and mind.
Whoonga, sold by drug dealers, is already mixedwith countless other substances and is almost impos-sible to identify all that it contains.
Theusersmokesthedrug, inrolledpaper(asajointwould be smoked), and will get high for about 45 min-utes, after that, withdrawal symptoms start.
Withdrawal symptoms include:• severe stomach ache;• back pain;• excessive sweating;• joint pain; and• mood swings.These symptoms can only be cured temporarily by
another hit.
A whoonga addict needs about eight to nine hitsa day to sustain themselves.
Just like other drugs, the first time whoonga issmoked, the user may feel an incredible sense of beinghigh – but thereafter, they will never experience thatsame feeling and will continue using, chasing thatsame feeling, leading to addiction.
Whoonga is by far the biggest drug problem theyouth of South Africa are facing.
Without the correct information and knowledgeon what the drug will actually do to them, they willnever know the dangers - until it is too late. - Supplied.

SAPO in financial crisisSOUTH African Post Offices (Sapo) isdysfunctional. It hasbeen so for quitea while.
Sapo owes Syntell and Siemensmillions for their letter sorting ma-chines and it hasn’t been able to paythese firms for nearly a year. It hasbeen demanding payment and eventhreateningtoceaseoperatingSapo’smachines. To fix its financial dilem-ma,Sapohasturnedtotheusersofthepost office to pay higher charges.
As with most parastatals, under
this government, it messes up and itis ordinary South Africans who haveto suffer the consequences of aboveinflation tariff hikes.
The Congress of the People hascontinuously warned the public thatthisgovernment isputtingitspoliticalinterests above governance and fi-nancial management. We urge thepublic to take heed of how institutionafter institution is incrisis.Theymustspeak up or face excruciating finan-cial pain.
Thecancellationof theecono-par-celservice, forexample, isgoingtohitbusinesses using the postal services,very hard. Publishers of magazines,in particular,maywell go out of busi-ness.Fromhaving topayR22.80pre-viously, customers are now beingasked to pay R40.90. An increase intariff of 80% is unprecedented in ourpostalservice. In fact, it is intolerable.
For how long will South Africanscontinue to believe in the president’s“goodstory”narrativewhenstoryaft-
er story actually turns out to bea last-ing nightmare that citizens will haveto live with into the future?
SAPO, Eskom and SAA, amongothers,areharmingoureconomyandimposingaheavyfinancialburdenonus hard-pressed South Africans.
Only the loud expression of publicdissatisfactionwill help to relieve thesituation we are in.

What is Vat?VAT is levied at 14% on most goodsand some at 0% (zero-rated sup-plies) e.g. basic food groups and ex-ports.
If zero rated, it means you canstill deduct all the Vat paid ongoods even though you are notcharging Vat (if you are a registeredVat vendor of course).
Some goods and/or services areexempt from Vat (exempt supplies)e.g. residential accommodation,which means that any Vat paid onexpenses to produce the incomecannot be claimed back.
It is only compulsory to registeras a Vat vendor when a businessearns in excess of R1 million in in-come in any consecutive 12-monthperiod. This does not necessarilyhave to be in line with the busi-
ness’s financial year.Should a business want to volun-
tarily register for Vat, it may do soprovided its income is greater thanR50 000 in the past 12 months.
In the gap between R50 000 andR1 million you have a choice. Youwould probably register if you soldgoods or services mainly to othercompanies registered for Vat asthey would be able to claim it backand it would allow you then toclaim the Vat that you pay out. Itwould however make it more ex-pensive for non-registered clientsso look closely at your market.
For more information on Vat,please contact [email protected] or phone 086 1476 9669.

Vat is lev-ied at 14%on mostgoods andsome at0% (zero-rated sup-plies) e.g.basic foodgroups andexports.

New load-sheddingschedule foreThekwiniTHE eThekwini Municipality has re-leased a new load- shedding schedulethat will be implementable from Tues-day 7 April. The municipality is urgingresidents to familiarise themselveswith the new schedule so they are pre-pared in the event of load shedding.
Load shedding becomes necessarywhen the national electrical demandon the network is greater than Eskom’scapacity to supply.
Eskom’s National Control Centremonitors its supply and demand abilityon a 24/7 basis and issues instructionsto maintain this balance to prevent thenational grid from collapsing. Loadshedding is an urgent response to anemergency, hence advanced notice isnot possible.
eThekwini Municipality has re-viewed the load-shedding schedule inorder to meet the new 24/7 require-ments set out by Eskom. It seeks to ad-dress some of the issues raised by cus-tomers and attempts to minimise in-terruptions and introduce morefairness in the allocation of blocks. Itconsiders technical constraints, practi-cality and sensitivity to local economicimpact.
The new schedule will also reducethe incidence of customer blockchanges due to network faults.
The new schedule will now consistof four stages for the most likely periodof load shedding (06:00 to 22:00 Mon-day to Saturday) as follows:-
Stage 1: Residential/commercialblocks - load shed once every secondday
Stage 2: Residential/commercialblocks - load shed once every day
Stage 3: Residential/commercial/industrial blocks - load shed once everyday
Stage 4: Residential/commercial/industrial blocks - load shed once everyday and twice every second day
Sometimes, technical difficulties inrestoring electricity may occur andshould a customer remain off for a sub-stantial amount of time after the Blockhas been scheduled to be restored,then that incident must be treated asa fault and reported to the ElectricityContact Centre on 080 13 13 1111.
During load shedding, customersare urged to switch off high-demandappliances like geysers, stoves, air-con-ditioningetc.toensurethatthewaitingload at the time of restoration is nothigh.
Switching off sensitive electricalappliances before power is restored al-so prevents the risk of voltage spikeswhen power returns.
The new load-shedding schedulecan be found on www.durban.gov.zaclick on the load-shedding banner.
The new schedule will be imple-mented in the event of load sheddingfrom the 7 April.
Remember to switch off, unplugand save. - eThekwini Municipality’sCommunications Head, ToziMthethwa.

Let’s not promote hatred ofone anotherWHATishappening inourbeautifulcountryregardingthedestructionofcolonial and apartheid statues atthis junctureofourhistory iswrong.
The statues should serve to re-mindusofpast generational figuresprior toour timesandeven theexis-tence of our forefathers.
I have never seen all the colonialor apartheid figures in question, Ihave only read about them. Theways employed in dealing with re-movalofstatuesis totallywrongandmighthavedireimplicationforusasa diverse nation. It is taking us backin terms of multicultural heritage.
I wish Echo, as a people’s paper,would conduct research and findout from the youngwhat their opin-ion is and what is going on in theirmind.
As far as I understand this issueneeds special attention from rele-vant authorities. They must deal

Those statues played a signifi-cant role to where we are now, so Ibelieve they should be kept in a cer-tain place so that whoever wants toremind him or herself about themcan go there.

BERNACE Naidoo has had a long and fruit-ful friendship with music evolving frommusician to music teacher. Music has al-waysremainedherfirstandfavouriteinter-est. She recalls at the age of four her Christ-mas gift from her dad was a coloured keybattery-operated piano.
“I was hooked,” she says.With natural talent, she played by ear.
At the age of 13 she wrote down notes toa complete song just by listening to it “withone or two mistakes”, she recalls.
With her whole family being musical, itcould hardly be any other way.
“Our family gathering always endedwith karaoke and sing-a-long. We per-formed for fun and entertainment at myworkplace whenever the opportunity pre-sented itself.”
Naidoo studied music and opened amusic school in Richards Bay, but recentlymoved to Amanzimtoti and moved herschool - Destiny School of Music - here.
“The school is the first in Amanzimtotithat is registered with the AssociatedBoard of the Royal School of Music,” Nai-doo says. This means she offers interna-tionally accredited exams in music theoryand practical.
Naidoo is proficient in several instru-ments and offers tuitions in piano, key-board,violin,clarinet,ukulele,guitar–clas-sical, lead, rhythm, bass and drums and vo-cal training.
“I offer individual and group tuition forall ages, styles and skill levels. I draw frommy experience as a musician and encour-age originality. It is my hope to help thosewho want to achieve their goals, whetherit be professional aspirations or simply do-ing something they have always wanted todo.”
Naidoo also wants to open a recordingstudio and start an a capella group anda Destiny School band. She has presenteda black-tie event for students to performin Richard’s Bay and plans to create and de-velop a stage for her students to displaytheir talents.
Destiny School of Music will sell musicinstruments and equipment on order andalso accessories for instruments, musicbooks in the near future.
Naidoo has two dedicated wholesalers- one in Durban and one in Johannesburg.
She also enjoys the support and resour-ces from The Music Academy to help facili-tate music and voice in worship.
Tuition is affordable, and for moreinformation contact Naidoo on076 304 3384.

“Ek het altyd ‘n passie gehad virdans sover ek kan onthou. Nadat ekmyHoneursgraadgekryhetinB.ComInformatika deur Unisa, het ek besefdat ek nogsteeds die liefde het virdans. Ek het begin om te kwalifiseerin dans onderwys en ek het dit vrees-lik geniet en het dit my loopbaan ge-maak,” sê Landman.

“The bags contain something to eatand to drink (we can wait up to six hoursat a hospital), a permanent marker, plas-ters, a clean pair of underwear for eitherboys or girls, a brown paper bag for evi-dence, crayons and a little book. You'll of-
ten find the children draw the crime sceneand we give this to the investigating offi-cers. The bag also contains wet wipes, tis-sues and gloves and a sanitary pad. Cur-rently we only have three in stock," Oliviersays.
