Struggle stalwartremembers Madiba>> Sunny Singh urges youth to take action to ensure a better future
KAVEEL SINGH
FAIRBREEZE Secondary School in Tongaat hosted a memorial lecture and symposium for lateformer statesman and South African president
Nelson Mandela.The event that took place at the school on Friday,
17 January with a number of dignitaries and pupilsin attendance hosted struggle veteran Sunny Singhas its guest speaker.
Addressing the large crowd, principal Ash Maharaj spoke highly of struggle heroes both living anddead. He highlighted the importance of appreciatingthe sacrifices made in the past.
“South Africa is a very unique country. We are anemergingdemocracythatcontainsmanychallenges.But there is much for us to be thankful for. Legendssuch as Nelson Mandela, Walter Sisulu and the likesof those heroes are hard to find today.
“The youth were always placed as a priority forMadiba and for good reason. He saw the potentialthat the future could hold for the country and he envisaged greatness for us all.”
Maharaj added that is was the responsibility ofthe youth to ensure that the sacrifices made by Mandela were lived up to.
“You must all remember the fight that enablesus all to have equal rights and opportunities in thiscountry. No longer do you have to use a specific toiletor beach. We are free and there is no price that canbe put on freedom.”
Guest speaker Singh shared memories about theapartheid struggle with pupils and also emphasisedthe need to for them to know struggle stories.
“We find our current society lacks a certain ethosthat was prevalent all those years ago amongst ourpeople. There is a responsibility we have to honour
those who died for the simple freedoms we take forgranted today.”
Sharing a story with pupils Singh recalled how heattended a meeting with Mandela in Reservoir Hillsin 1962 where he was one of 12 people in themeeting.
“We had to go through extreme measures to simply meet at a safe venue. There was a ban on us evencongregating with each other.
“The struggle has not ended for us. We have tomeet out social justice now. This is our new fight.Those who are in power are not providing jobs for theneedy. The fact that there are people in our countrywho do not have proper water to drink after 20 yearssays something.”
Singh said it was not just the ANC, but the wholecountry that required a greater understanding.
“Many of us sit back and blame the ANC and inmany cases they are to blame for many mishaps inour country. But our people are also very apathetic,”said Singh.
“We need to get up off our armchairs and helpour fellow man. For too long have we sat back andexpected things from government. We must nowmarch in numbers and take what is due to us all.”

The inquiry, which is open to themedia, has been set down for twoweeks next month.

The department is conducting theformal inquiry in terms of section 32of theOccupationalHealthandSafetyAct toprobeallegationsof negligencethat results in occupational injuriesand death of workers.
Two workers, Zakithi Nxumaloand Zwelibanzi Masuku died in thecollapse and 29 were injured.
Thedeveloper of themall, Rectan-gle Property Investment,was servedwith contempt of court papers bythe eThekwini Municipality lastmonth.
The company is run by controver-sialDurbanbusinessmanJaySingh’sson, Ravi Jagadasan, who had indi-catedthat theyintendedopposingthecontempt application, which wouldbe heard next month in the DurbanHigh Court.
The department said it would re-
veal the inquiry start date once thecommission received all outstandingreports.
According to the department’spress statement, the commissionwould, once the hearings are com-plete, prepare a report of its findingsand recommendations which will besenttolabourministerMildredOliph-ant, thedepartment’s chief inspector,Thobile Lamati, and the Directorateof Public Prosecutions for their con-
sideration.Maphaha said themembers of the
commission had already visited andassessed the site – and there were anumber of issues the commissionwould pursue with the contractorsduring the hearings.
Szana said that all the witnesseswouldhave tobesubpoenaedto testi-fyandmaybeasked,ifneeded,topro-vide documentation such as plansand photographs.
The hearings are to be held at themunicipal offices in Tongaat and thecommission is expected to completeits work within six months.
Szana said the reportwould prob-ablybecompiledafterthesixmonths.
Maphaha could take a further 90days to finalise it.
The report will not be sent to thepolice, who had a different mandateto that of the department, which isconcerned about thehealth and safe-ty side. The police are investigatingtwo counts of culpable homicide.
“After the inquiry, if there’s a rec-ommendation for prosecution by thecommission, the National Prosecut-ingAuthoritywillmake the finaldeci-siononwhetherornottogoahead…,”said Szana. When asked about theprogress of their investigation andwhether the commission’s reportwould be considered as evidence forthe police, provincial police spokes-man Colonel Jay Naicker, said theirculpable homicidedocketwas still anactive investigation.

WITH schools back in action, many stay-at-homeparents are breathing a sigh of relief.
In fact, we all are. Have you noticed how oldyour kids look these days?
It’s themostutterly confusing thing in theworld.During the holidays, it was extremely difficult forme to differentiate between campus students,school pupils and working adults. I think this is adamn shame.We all want to grow upwhenwe are
younger, yet when we do, we struggle to come toterms with adulthood and yearn for our “youthfulzing” once again. These days all kids want to havethe latest iPad and stylish clothes.
Stop texting, it’s stupid
Theyalso listen toutterly ridiculousmusic.This is the junk that globalisation has left uswith.A youthful societywho cares for nothingbesides the pop culture fed to them by main-stream media.
Whateverhappened to justplayingoutsideor participating in something ridiculous like abakesale tohelp raise funds forwhicheverAf-rican country is in crisis this time?
Now it’s all texting, texting, texting. Hey, Idon'tknowwhattheweather forecast is for to-morrow...text someone to find out. Hey, whyare eggs oval...let’s text someone to find out.Hey,what are you doing later...yes, let’s text it.
I hadadiscussionwith abuddyofmine theother day and we both agreed that the youthand our general society would benefit greatlyif an Electro Magnetic Pulse (EMP) would hitthe entire world and render the mainstreammedia and the internet null and void. Thatwouldcompletely changeourworld,and trustme, it would be for the better.
Globalisation has made your school goingmunchkin a very different person from whathe or she should be. What globalisation andcommunicationhasdoneiseffectivelycreateda singular culture in the human race. Whilethiswouldbeawonderful theoreticalconcept,we can see that the wrong trends and topicsof discussion are part of this culture.
And while this culture is continuing itsdominance, we find that our own traditionsand practices that came from our forefathersin specific parts of the world, are dying.
Parents are becoming more liberal andwant to be their “child's friend”.
There is less emphasis on uniqueness andmore on assimilating to societal norms. Noneof us want to go against the grain any more.
Mypoint is, thereneedstobe lessemphasison falling in line. Kids need to be kids andadults need to be adults. We all have a timeinour lives inwhichtotestofcertaincharactertraits. Why should you jump the gun?
To the kids back at school - let me give yousome advice - stop texting! It will becomepartofyouradult lifeandrenderyouauselessslaveto society and media. Denounce the Face-books, BBMs and Whatsapps of this world.
Go outside and look for your friends! Takea walk, it will do you some good. Pop cultureand the trendofassimilating toa typeof celeb-rity lifestyle is pointless. It’s lame, be yourself,not what MTV and Facebook want you to be.
HEY, WHAT ARE YOU DOINGLATER...YES, LET’S TEXT IT.

2014 marks the 20th anniversary of theBrindhaven Hindi Paatshala. The schoolwas founded by Robin and Molly Prithipal,who recognised the need and importanceof studying their mother tongue – Hindi.
Robin and Molly said they have beengiven “immense joy and satisfaction” to
note that during the past 20 years, the Patshala has found favour with those thathave been longing for Hindi Education.
The school fulfils its duty in the preservation of the Dharma through language.
“As human beings we need to developholistically – what better way to do thisthan by being able to read write and speakour Maatri Bhasha (mother tongue)”, said
Robin.Brindhaven Hindi Patshala (School)
was established in 1994 in Verulam.Robin added: “Many students have
passed through the Patshala and are aconstant source of encouragement to theschool. Most of them are our ardent supporters and some of the ex students formthe band of very able teachers. We com
menced classes with just three students inone Grade. Gradually the numbers increased and we have maintained an average of approximately 60 students eachyear in the five grades.”
Over the years students ranged fromfive to 74 year olds. As an affiliate of theHindi Shiksha Sangh South Africa, the Patshalahaslentit’shandofcooperationand
support in the Sangh’s various activities including debates and eisteddfods.
Classes are held every Wednesday at6.30pm at Dianthus Primary School. Formore information contact 032 533 2405 or084 503 5277.

SUMMER is a great time to be outside andenjoying the weather. But summer activities bring additional risks to your health.
Be sure to be safe this summer byknowing these summer health risks. A littlebit of prevention can keep your summersafe.
1. Skin Cancer Skin cancer is the mostcommon form of cancer. Over one millionpeople are diagnosed with skin cancereachyear. Ifcaughtearly,skin cancer isusually treated easily. Skin cancer is more common in people who:>>have spent lots of time in the sun orhave been sunburned.>> have fair skin, hair and eyes.>> have a family member who has hadskin cancer.>> are over the age 50.
Youcancheckyourselfforskincancereveryfew months, get a free skin cancer screening, wear lots of sunscreen and avoid thesun when possible.2. Heat Stroke Heat stroke is a seriousmedical condition that can be life threatening. In heat stroke, the body's core temperature rises.
Much like a fever, extremely high bodytemperaturescanleadtopermanentdamage. Some signs of heat stroke include:>> confusion>> short, rapid breathing>> stopping sweating>> a fast pulseIf someone has these signs, call for medicalhelp immediately.3. Food Poisoning The Centre of DiseaseControl estimates that 76 million peoplesuffer from food poisoning. Summer time
is full of picnics, and picnics bring food outinto the open where it can stay warm toolong.
Avoid an outbreak of food poisoningthis summer by following simple guidelines about food safety and food handling.Common sense will prevent you and yourfriends and families from coming downwith a foodborne illness.4. Eye Damage UV rays in sunlight candamage your eyes. If you are out in the sunlight in the summertime, be sure to wearsunglasses that filter out UV light. Otherwise, your sunglasses are opening up yourpupils by making things darker, which actually lets in more UV rays, not less. Be sureyoursunglassesfilterout100percentofUVlight and be sure to wear them, especiallyaround water, which can reflect a tremendous about of light to your eyes.
5. Driving Accidents (driver fatigue, defensive driving, etc.) Driving accidents are thenumber one killerfor young people. Avoidsummer car accidents by:>> never drinking and driving>> keeping summer road trips to a reasonable length>>never driving after midnight6. Drowning Over 3,000 people drown inpoolrelated accidents.
More than 650 drown in boating accidents. For each child under 14 that drowns,another five suffer from near drowning.Prevent these summer tragedies throughsupervision, proper pool safety and enforcing rules around the water.7. Dehydration Dehydration can happenquickly in the summer heat.
Be sure that you have water handywhenever you will be in the heat for a long
time. Don't forget about children too theymay not ask for water. Be sure to take frequent water breaks during the kids' summer activities.8. Bug Bites Bug bites can be annoyingand itchy.
They can also be serious if they bringan infectious disease like tick bite fever.Prevent bug bites and infection this summer by avoiding buggy situations, using agood bug repellent and wearing long pantsand sleeves when in buggy areas.9. Unsafe Sex Summer brings thoughtsof romance and new love interests.
While the spontaneity of a summer romance is exhilarating, the risks of a sexually transmitted infection, including HIV, arevery real.
Before engaging in any summer fling,know how you will protect yourself.

The World Health Organizationrecently reported that among the290medical illnesses they evaluated,migraine happens to be the 3rd mostcommon medical disorder on theplanet, among women it's the 4thmost disabling, and among all peopleit is the 7th most disabling medicalillness. Essentially, it is a majorpublic health problem.
The focus of this article is onMedication Overuse Headache(MOH). MOH is the commonest causeof chronic daily headache seen inpractice. Unfortunately, someheadache sufferers fall into a trap by
SPECIALIST NEUROLOGIST
MBChB (Natal) FC Neurology (SA) | PR: 0373559
overusing the medications they takewhen they get their headaches,ending in a downward spiral of dailyor near-daily headaches for whichtheir medications become less andless effective. This condition, calledMOH, makes for a poor quality oflife.
Considering the number ofheadache days, neurologists defineMOH as occurring on at least 15 daysper month for at least 3 monthstogether with the history of regularuse of analgesia during this period.Recognizing this condition is easy,treating it is a challenge. After all,
we resort to medication to treatingo u r h e a d a c h e s w h i c h i sunderstandable.
Hence, the dilemma of treatingheadaches is that more is less: themore days (+/-10 to 15 days permonth) one uses analgesia forheadache such as over the countermedication, the less well theheadache is controlled. As doctors,the compassion that motivates us toprescribe medications for acuteheadache must be tempered by therealization that too much of a goodthing is bad for our patients.
There is good news pertaining toMOH: it can be reversed. Amultidisciplinary approach isadvocated by headache specialists.However, the best approach to MOHis to prevent it from occurring.

UNLESSyourideaofagoodtimeis being laid up for days withthe headaches, chills, and
muscleachesthatallcomecourtesyofthe flu, you really don't want to getsickthisyear.Andyet,upto50%ofthecountry gets the flu on an annual ba-sis. But you don't have to be one ofthem:Whether youget sickor spreadthe bug to others may be largely dueto your health habits.
Here are simple health behaviorsto keepyouandyour family free fromthe flu this year.
1. Get a vaccine.It's the single bestway to not get sick,experts say. If youbreathe in fluaero-solparticles—whichareinvisibleandcantravelasfaras10feet—you'lllike-ly catch the flu. That's why vaccinesare so important: They prime yourbody tomounta flu-fightingresponsebefore you're even exposed.2. Be obsessed with hand washing.Even if you are exposed to the flu (byusing a germy pen at the office, say),if you clean your hands before youtouch your face, there's little chance
tion tobehospitalised for the flu.Peo-ple with underlying chronic condi-tions—especially diabetes, asthma,orheart, liver,orkidneydisease—arealso more likely to face flu complica-tions.
While you need not be a hermit, ifyoudofallintoanyofthesecategories,watchforsymptoms(mostcommonlyfever, sore throat, cough, runnynose,sneezing, muscle aches, fatigue/ex-haustion—and in some cases, head-aches, and a stiff neck) and call yourdoctor if anything feels off.
4. Teach your kids to wash well.If a child contracts the flu, about 40 to50% of her family will likely developclinical flu symptoms.Oneproblemisthatkidsdon'twash
their hands enough. You don't wanttomakeyourkidsneuroticbutenforc-ing the importance of hand washingcan protect yourwhole family this fluseason and beyond.
Teach kids to lather upwith soapand water after using the bathroom,after sneezing or coughing, and be-fore every meal and snack. (Stash abottle of hand sanitiser in their back-
packs; it's a good substitute if theycan'tgettoasink.)Ifthekidsaredoinga group project and share materials,tell them to wash afterward. Finally,show your child the right way tosneeze: into a tissue, ideally, or intohis sleeve—not his hands.
5. Stop nibbling your nails.Whenyoubiteyournails,you'rebasi-cally inviting flu germs to infectyou. No matter how anal you areabout hand washing, let's face it—you can't park yourself in front of asink or use hand sanitiser 24-7.That's where the avoid-unnecessari-ly-touching-your-face rule comes in.Rubbingyoureyesorbitingyourcuti-cles can increase viral transmission.Indoingso,yougivegermsamoredi-rect route to your mouth and nose,where they enter your body and startmaking you sick.
6. Keep your cube clean.When was the last time you wipeddown your desk or disinfected yourphone? Chances are you don't re-member. If your unclean desk har-bors germs, you can pick them up(and get sick) while shuffling papers
or answering the phone—and espe-cially when you lunch right on top ofthem. To play it safer this flu seasonuse disinfectant spray or wipes.Scheduleastandingreminderinyourcalendar to wipe down your desk af-ter you eat.
7. Be your healthiest self.The last piece of the flu preventionpuzzle: Make sure your immune sys-tem is firing on all cylinders. Scien-tistsarestill learningexactlyhowandwhichhealthyhabitsbolsterimmuni-ty, but there's clearly some solid evi-dence for adopting—and avoiding—certain behaviors. One good-for-youhabit is sleep. A recent study foundthat sleeping eight hours a night (in-steadofsevenor fewer)canmakeyou30% less likely to develop a cold—asignthatsleepplaysanimportant im-mune-boosting role.
A well-balanced diet, full of thesepower nutrients, may help fortifyyour immune system, too. And avoidthese unhealthy habits, such assmokingorlettingstressgetthebetterof you, which have been linked to de-creased immunity.
Be obsessed withhand washing andkeep flu germsaway from face.
Flu for you? No, thanks!
the germs can reach youreyes, nose, or mouth, theusual ways they enteryour system and startwreakinghavoc.Washinghands is enormously ef-fective. Regular handwashing can reduce re-spiratory illness trans-mission by more than20%.
The key is to makehand cleansing a habit.Aside from after a bath-room break, wash yourhands with soap and wa-ter—or use hand sanitis-er—before you eat, afterbeing in crowded publicplaces, like the mall, or ifyou've been near some-one who's sneezing orcoughing.

THE South African National Blood Service (SANBS) supplies are currently at about3.2 days, and Netcare Alberlito hospital is appealing to the public to donate.
With an increase in population and development of more advanced medical andsurgical procedures, as well as the high incidents of road accidents and citizenswith blood disorders who require blood transfusion on an ongoing basis, the needfor blood has become dire.
As the SANBS tries to boost blood supplies, North Coast residents are urged to rollup their sleeves and help in giving the ultimate gift of life this January, says Alberlito’sGrace Makumbi.

gula amabhizinisi.Uthe uMsholozi kunemibiko
yokuthi abantu baya emabhangebephethe ama-business planamahlekodwa bangalutholi usizo ngoba ku-funeka izibambiso (collateralnoma i-security) ezinkulu.
Sivumelana ngokuphelele noM-sholozingobakunenqwabayabafun-diababhuquzaemakhayabebebene-mibono ephusile yamabhizinisikodwa iphelele obala ngoba ben-genazo lezi zibambiso ezidingekaemabhange. Kuyaye kube buhlunguumasebekhalangokuthiimalimbole-koabayitholangakodwababone imi-bono yamabhizinisi abo isisetshen-ziswa kwezinye izindawo.
ukuzakhela igama kuMengameli Zu-ma, kodwangeshwa labo, uMsholoziusihlabewasihlikiza leso senzosabo.Ukubeke kwacaca uMsholozi ukuthiakukho muntu okufanele avinjweumaekhankasa.Sengathi lokhukun-gangena kugxile ezingqondwenizomphakathi ngoba ngeke kwe-mukeleke nangengozi ukuthi ku-phindekubekhonaisigamekoesifuzeesikaMnuz Malema.
Cishe kuthokozisewonke umuntuwaseNingizimu Afrika ukuzwa uku-thi ingxenye yomhlahlandlela we-ANC, eyokuqinisekisa ukuthi izik-hungo zemali, ikakhulukazi amab-hange, ayazibuyekeza izindlelazokusiza abantu ngezimali zokusun-
wedada? Sibuza lemibuzo nje ngobayima sizobona izinhlobo ezahlukenezothando dadewethu kababa.
Umasibhekauhlangothilwesenzoesihle sikaMnuz Malema, kuyaxakaukubona laba abamxakazisile ngobabethi akayitholanga imvume. Yinieyenza abantu bayiqikelele kangakaindaba yokuthola imvumeyokwenzainto enhle. Asiyibuyisele eceleni kan-cane nje ipolitiki.
Bonanjebabeyitholekupiimvumeyokumvimba bamshaye.
Asikaze sizwe futhi ukuthi abantubayaye bacele imvume uma befunaukususa uthuthuva noma ukonelaphansi impahla. Mhlambe labaabavimbe uMnuz Malema bebefuna
khayo. Kodwa okwenza kube nzimaukubabongaukuthi kubonanenganeencane ukuthi inhloso yabo akukho-na ukusiza abahluphekile.
Imibuzo efika ngokushesha umakucutshungulwa indaba kaMnuz Ju-lius Malema, ngethi luqhamukaphilolu ‘thando’ olungaka lokuthi aboneumndeni ohluphekayo odinga indlueNkandla? Abekho yini abadingaizindlungakubo?NakhonaeNkandlayini edale kube ngumndeni oseduzekomuzikamengameliwezwe,uMnuzJacob Gedleyihlekisa “J.Z.” Zuma?
Kukhona mhlambe ozophendulangokuthi yilowo nalowo unelungelolokusiza lapho ethanda khona. Ku-lungile. Kodwa omunye umbuzooqhamukayo uthi ngesikhathi esam-emezakuzwe izwe lonkeukuthi yenauzimisele ngokufela uMsholozi,yayingekho yini imindeni edingaizindlu? Yini lolu ‘thando’ luvuthwesekusondele ukhetho?
Khona manjalo sesizwa kubikwaukuthi eSeshego, kwesikaMnuzMalema, sekukhona amalungu e-
NGABE kungcono ukuba oso-politiki noma abaholi bezom-busazwe bahlale bebangisa-
na ngokwenza izinto ezinhle, ngez-inhloso ezinhle. Angingabazinakancane ukuthi ukuba babanalomdlandla wokwenza izinto ez-inhle ngesikhathi kuqala umbusowentando yeningi ngo-1994, izingalentuthuko liphezulu kakhulu.
Ake ucabange nje ukuthi umaamaqembu ezepolitiki engamaneakhele abantu izindlu ngaphandlekokulindela uHulumeni, ngabe ban-gaki abantu abangenazo izindlu.
Nanxa ingeke iphele imijondolonoma imikhukhu ngenxa yezizathuezahlukene, ngikholwa wukuthi ng-abe ababaningi ngalendlela ababan-ingi ngayo abantu abahlala emijond-olo nasemikhukhwini.
