>> Tongaat community urged to keep the democracy flame burningKAVEEL SINGH
FORMER activist Mac Maharajpraised local struggle icon’s re-markable efforts at the inaugu-
ral Billy Nair Memorial Lecture heldat the Tongaat Town Hall on Friday.
Maharaj, the key note speaker,spoke to teachers, district officialsand struggle stalwarts about his ex-periences during apartheid and hisown feelings on democracy.
The theme for the evening was“challengesandchangesindemocra-cy”.
Speaking to the Weekly, Maharajspoke fondly of Billy Nair and high-lighted the changes that were re-quired in democracy.
“Billy was an amazing individualwhowas larger than life. Hewas alsoa great inspiration to all of us andwe
believe he should be immortalised inthis way. His legacy must continue togrow its already noteworthy reputa-tion. In his struggle years, he was fullycommitted to the fight for liberationandneverbackeddowndespitehis im-prisonment
“He educated himself out of povertyand provided a good life for his familyand always ensured the people of ourcountry were well taken care off.”
Maharaj said democracy is an issuethat requires the assistance of all. Hesaid that South Africa is a work inprogress and its citizens should beproud of it.
“I find our democracy to be robustand thriving. It is messy and that is ex-actly how it should be. There needs tobe arguments and issues coming to thefore. This is what we have fought forand want.”
However, Maharaj said crime wasan issue that South Africans com-plained about more than helped with.
“Wehave to praise the policewherewe can and allow them to grow. Theyarealsonewtothisdemocracyasweallare.Ourpeople seemtosit athomeandcomplain or comment on social net-works. Is that democracy? No. You aredoing nothing to help yourself or yourpeople. That is democracy. Participatein your structures.”
Maharaj said the memorial lecturewas there to, not only showcase BillyNair’s accomplishments, but also havepeopleunderstandtheintricaciesofthedemocratic process.
“Weareallhereandwecanhelpoth-ersalonginourdemocracy. Thepeopleof Tongaat must join together and fur-ther ignite the flamesofhope theyhavealready,” added Maharaj.

Welfare projectgoes awry>> Parents not happy with ‘walk through’ procedureKAVEEL SINGH
A “WALK through” at the low-cost homesin Plein Street went horribly wrong onThursday 30 October in Tongaat.
What was meant to be action against drugsand absconding pupils became a question ofrights being infringed.
TheeventwasheldbytheTongaatChildWel-fare, Tongaat Anti-Drug Forum, Tongaat Com-munity Policing Forum and SAPS due to the re-ports received of children being frequently ab-sent from school.
Thewalk through aimed to identify childrenwho are not attending school and to offer sup-port to the children and their family.
However, parents and pupils alikewere tak-en aback after their homes were entered with-out their permission with allegations of somepupils packed into the back of police vans.
Cope councillor Steven Naidoo said he hadreceived a number of complaints.
“It is unacceptable that this hashappened tothesepeople.Youcannotentersomeone’shomewithout their permission and forcibly instructthemtodosomething, letalonebundle themin-to police vehicles,” said Naidoo.
Disgruntled parent and resident in PleinStreet for over 30 years Daisy Mahangee saidshewasappalledatthebehaviouroftheindivid-uals involved.
Mahangee said the large group of people inthe walk-through came to her home and askedthegrandmotherwherethethreeyoungschool-going girls were.
“Sheisa70plusyearoldwomanandshewasvery intimidated. She told them two of the girlswere at home sleeping. They thenproceeded toenter our home and wake up the kids to go toschool.
“Theyrefusedtolistentomeandsnubbedus.They made us feel like we had no right to haveour kids. One of my kids who they removed isa straight ‘A’ student andshewasprofusely cry-
ing at the incident. ”Mahangee said she was not allowed to give
her children breakfast after one of the socialworkers said “she can eat in school”.
Her children were then dropped outsidetheir school and not in the premises, shesaid.
“The children are emotional. They had towear dirty uniforms. We are unhappy. Thesepeople represent the Child Welfare. Theyshould protect children yet they are instillingfear in kids.”
regularattendanceat school is vital tohelp chil-dren achieve and get the best possible start inlife. Childrenwho frequentlymiss school oftenfall behind. There is a strong linkbetweengoodschool attendance and achieving good results.
“Young people who are frequently absentfrom school aremore likely to become involvedin, or become a victim of crime and anti-socialbehaviour. Young people who regularly attendschool are most likely to secure employmentand lead a productive life in the future,” saidMaistry.
VICTORIA Emergency Unit in conjunction withMediclinic Victoria Hospital hosted their annualtrauma day event at the Tongaat Sports Centre re-cently.
Pupilsfromsecondaryschoolsintheareatogeth-er with their teachers attended the event.
The topic was CPR for family and friends.Theywere educatedon theHeimlichmaneouver aswell as CPR for infants, children and adults.
HeadoftheEmergencyUnitDrSaneshaMoodleysaid it is important foreveryonetoknowhowtoper-form CPR.
“You never know when you are in a situationwhere CPR will be needed. We hope that everyonewentbackwithamessageandcan teach it to othersat school and home.”
Each pupil received a goodie bag and they weretreated to lunch.
Questions were also posed at the end of the ses-sionandthosewithcorrectanswersreceivedprizes.

Traffic solutions sought>> North Coast prepares for traffic ‘madness’ as festive season approachesSHANNON HOPKINS
WITH Ballito traffic conges-tion reaching boiling point,role players are urgently
seeking solutions ahead of the festiveseason – just five weeks away.
The widening and upgrade of theP445,BallitoDrive,hascausedtrafficdelays and frustration for months.
Theworkwas to end thismonth,butdue tobadweatherandconstruc-tion complications, this date is nowmoved to February 2015. The plan isto have two lanes in and two lanesout of Ballito by December - the fin-ished road will boast six lanes, saysSMEC’s David Duke.
At a meeting called by DolphinCoast Residents and Ratepayers As-sociation (DOCRRA) at La Montagneon Monday, deploying points menthroughout the day and road con-structionnight shiftswerediscussed.
“WehavetohaveaplanforDecem-ber, as every year Ballito is jam-packed in season andwe are alreadyexperiencing traffic gridlocks.
“People will go elsewhere to shopand businesses will lose out if we donothing. December is an economic
lifeline for Ballito. Even if businesspulls together to help pay for extraservices,” said DOCRRA chairmanLouis Luyt.
A resident said his research hadshown business was already downabout 30 to 40%.
When getting more points men todirect traffic throughout the day wassuggested, Traffic Department’sJohnny Moodley said they did nothave the manpower.
“Wehave approached theDepart-ment ofTransport, but areunlikely toget assistance,” said Moodley.
He added pointsmenwould prob-ablynotbeneededall day, justduringpeak hours. The traffic departmentalready have points men at the mostcongested four way stops near theLifestyle Centre for about six hours aday.
KwaDukuza Municipality (KDM)infrastrusture and technical’s coun-cillor Sandeep Oudram said the pub-licshouldnothavetopaymoreforser-vices that themunicipality is respon-sible for.
“Iwillbefast-trackingmeetingsonthematterwithmunicipal represent-ativessothatwecancomeupwithso-
lutions as soon as possible and keepthe public informed,” said Oudram.
KDM is to create a detailed planbased on needs on the implementa-tion of points men-type for effective
traffic control, he said.Duke said working through the
night to finish the project had beenlooked into, but that itwouldnot savethat much time.“We will explore the
matter further,” he said.He said the four-way stops that re-placed the traffic circles are causingtraffic backup, but itwas the only op-tion toallow forwideningof the road.

The plan is broadly informed bythe understanding that the provinceispoised to seean influxof thousandsoftourists intotheprovince,hightraf-fic volumes with thousands of cash-
be conducted around the province torespond to possible cash in transitrobberies,ATMbombings,ruralsafe-ty, crimes thataredirectedat farmersand stock theft.
It also includes mobilising thecommunity against criminality.

9Load sheddingaverted for now
>> ‘Load shedding could still come into play at any time in order toreduce pressure on the grid.’
JYOTHI LALDAS
PARTS of the North Coast left without electricity formore than two hours on Sunday after Eskom em-barked on load shedding in the country.
The loadsheddingwasaresult of a silo, carryingabout10 000 tons of coal, collapsing at Eskom’s Majuba PowerStation inMpumalangaonSaturday,andwhich threaten-ed to continue for a while.
According to Eskom spokesperson Andrew Etzinger,the incident had put their grid under immense pressure.
He said Eskomhad to resort to planned load sheddingwhile engineers try to find the cause of the fracturewhichcaused the collapse.
However, since the incident efforts to fix the problemresulted in theriskof loadsheddingbeingreducedsignifi-
in the event of load shedding.Help Eskom beat the peak by following “4 actions for
4 hours”:1. Switch off your geysers, electric heaters and pool
pumps from 5pm to 9pm every day2. Switch off unnecessary appliances and lighting3. Look at alternative heating solutions4. Respond to the power alerts and power bulletin up-
datesTheactualstageinuseatthetimewillbedisplayedboth
on the main Eskomwebsite and on the home page of theload shedding website.

cantly with the prognosis for the week beingbetter than expected.
HesaidbyMondaycoal supplies to twoof thesixunitsat thepowerstationhadbeenrestored.
“Thismeans that one third of the power sta-tion’s normal capacity is back in service,” saidEtzinger.
He said however, the power system remainsunderpressureandconsumersareurgedtouseelectricity sparingly for the remainder of theweek.
Etzinger said as a result of the collapse theircoal conveyor systems were damaged.
Alternativemeasureswereputinplacetode-liver the coal needed on Sunday.
“For units one and two, we had to bring incoalthroughanalternativedeliverymechanisminvolving the trucking of coal.
“Then the coals were placed onmobile con-veyorsusing front-end loaders, and the currentrate 1200 tonnes of coal per hourwere broughtin.”
“ESKOM was working on a similar solutionfor delivering coal to units five and six.
He said units three and fourwere not affect-ed.
“In all likelihood we have averted plannedload shedding. However, load shedding couldstill come into play at any time to reduce pres-sure on the grid during the summer months.”
What is load shedding?When there is not enough electricity availa-
ble tomeet thedemand fromallEskomcustom-ers, it could be necessary to interrupt supply tocertain areas. This is called load shedding. It isdifferent from a power outage that could occurforseveralotherreasons.It isalastresort tobal-anceelectricity supplyanddemand.Eskomwillonlyapply loadsheddingwhenallotheroptionshave been exhausted.
If unbalances in the power are notmanagedthiscouldleadtothecollapseoftheentirepowernetwork. If this occurs, it could take more thana week to restore power. By rotating and shed-ding the load inacontrolledmanner, thesystemremains stable.
Load shedding processEskom’sNationalControlCentreinstructsits

CORRUPTIONisachroniccondi-tion deeply entrenched inSouth African society and it is
slowly gnawing away at ourmoral fi-bre.
From the conniving of law enfor-cers when soliciting bribes fromstreet vendors, to officials acceptingmonetary favours in exchange for fa-vours such as speeding up the paper-work process or ensuring that the
payee is handed the keys to an RDPhouse.
Examples are aplenty and havebecomesonormal that fewpeopleex-pressshockanddismayat theamoralpractice of offering and accepting abribe.Therest ofus just gosniffingaround
civic offices, not with the intention ofunearthing the truth, but ratherbone-hunting for lucrative connec-tions because that is what they are,connections, lucrative.
There is a saying in isiZulu whichgoes, “A way forward is asked fromthose in front,” (Indlela ibuzwa kwa-baphambili). Basically meaning thatour forefathers, elders, parents, pre-decessorsset the foundation, theway
that we should follow as normalmembers of society.
Youareinacarwithyourchild,en-tering his or her teens, the child’smind filledwith questions of identity,desperately trying to make sense oftheir character, emotions, sexualityand the world.
Suddenly out leaps a traffic officerclad in the traditional khakis and thefacial expression of a headmasterwalking in on an ill-disciplined lot ofpupils lefton theirownintheabsenceof a sickly teacher.
Youwere driving at F1 speeds in a120km/h zone and the guilt makesyou stutter pleasantries and rhetori-cal questions as you frantically friskyourself for your driver’s licence, a
hotbedofunpaid finesand traffic vio-lations.
You are basically wading througha pit latrine with an exorbitant finelooming anddesperate for away out,you do what is normal, what is dis-cussedbydriversallover thecountry,your mates even, you use words anda wallet to wiggle your way out of amessy situation.
Yourchildseesthewayyou’veopt-ed to take, fearing authority, they donot question you about it but ratherthey simply adopt it.
Andsocontinuesthespreadof thischronic condition called corruption.
Fromthe little thingswedo,whichare devoid of truth and justice, weperpetuate the larger incidences of

Yet are we not hypocrites dressedin over-estimated opinions of our-selves, criticising government offi-cials for being corrupt when we our-selves commit these little “white lies,white incidences of corruption”.
Before casting accusations likestones at those occupying state posi-tions, think about how many fineshave you shoved under a pile of un-readmail,electricitymeterboxesille-gally connected, bribes for favoursetc.
Questionyourselfandseeifyouar-en’t anagent of a systemwhose foun-dationismoney,power,greedandtheneed for a way out, survival.
Test yourself before you condemn
ALLOW me first of all to congratulate your department as well as the National Police Commissioner Riah Phiyega on the swift action by themembers of the SAPS in the arrest of three suspects so soon after the unfortunate shooting incident.
This involving the African National CongressMember of Parliament Jackson Nthembu on Sunday 19 October.
The arrests in question, effected within 48hours of this heinous act in Limpopo none the less,clearly demonstrates the ability of the SAPS toact swiftly in cases of violent crime.
This however, brings me to the reason for writing this letter.
and congratulate the SAPS on, this swift actionalso highlights the commonly held belief that justice exists only for the wealthy and well connected.
Surely the fact that these three suspects wereapprehended in Limpopo, hundreds of kilometresaway from the initial scene of the crime in Witbank, would be an indication that the SAPS doesin fact have the capacity and the will to solvecrimes swiftly?
Why then does swift action such as this onlyappear to happen when the victim of the crimeis someone famous, wealthy or wellconnectedwith the government?
I am sure the public would agree with me whenIaskwhyswiftactionsuchasthisappearsnonexistent when a normal citizen falls victim to violentcrimes such as this?
The prioritisation of crime in South Africaseems to be purely geared towards those whocould further advance or protect their careers andincrease their favor in the ruling party at the expense of the normal citizen, the same citizen youas a member of parliament should be serving.
I trust this letter will serve as a reminder of yourposition as a servant of the people and not a ruler,the same people who placed their trust in you toserve them to the best of your abilities and placetheir interest above that of your fellow membersof Parliament and ruling party members.
This small little fact being something all ministers seem to remember only when votes are needed.
I imploreyouandyourdepartmenttoplacethesame emphasis on all violent crimes and solve thecases with the same speed as has been done inthe case of your fellow MP and ANC member.

Open letter to minister of police
Premier living in ivory towerTHE shocking utterances by KZN PremierSenzo Mchunu at the funeral of Senzo Meyiwa are an insult to the thousands of victimsof crime in this province.
During an interview with the BBC he stated that “We should not exaggerate the levelof crime because it is not like it affects each
and every family.” If ever there was a comment that highlights just how out of touchhe and his cabinet are with the majority ofcommunities in our province, then this is it.
The Premier’s statement shows onceand for all that he and his executive live inivory towers with expensive and expansive
security in place to protect them and theirfamilies. Rising crime levels do not need tobe exaggerated. Nor are they simply invented they are evident in the government’sown crime statistics.
On a positive note, the DA agrees withthe Premier that ‘police [officers] should getout of police stations to fight crime’. We alsocommend the scores of hardworking policemen and women who strive continuously to

LETTERS TO THEEDITOR
While the swift action in thecase of Nthembu’s incident remains something to celebrate
keep our communitiessafe and secure and wemost definitely do heartheir numerous complaints of lack of support from police leadership.
The Premier was silent on his own government’s failure to tacklecrime levels in the province. He was also silentabout his government’s lack of politicalleadership on this matter. With local government elections looming, the Premier shouldnot underestimate theeffect of crime on thepeople of KZN. If anything he should be listening to the growingvoice of discontent.

RAISA SOODYAL
A NEW SMS service will see taxidrivers thinking twice beforebeing negligent on our roads.
Give Life Projects Taxi Campaignhas launched the SMS service “WiserDriver” allowing passengers to com-plain about bad driving by simply us-ing the USSD string (*120*4577#).
Give Live Projects founder BrianMbambo said the response to the SMSservice had been “overwhelming” —and the application was the first of itskind in KwaZulu-Natal.
“Inanefforttomakeourroadssafer,especiallywith dailycomplaintsabouttaxis, we decided to launch thisproject,” he said.
Taxi passengers can send com-plaintsabout drunkdriving,overload-ing, exceeding the speed limit, behav-ing rudely or commending good ser-vice.
“Wehavearound100 taxis from16different associations onboard rightnow,” said Mbambo.
“There is a code sticker inside thetaxi and the taxi user can dial the codethen put in the code number,” saidMbambo.
Complaints were then sent to thetaxi’s owner who took up the matter
with the driver.TheapplicationwascreatedbyFish
Information in Umlazi. SMS’s arecharged at normal rates and can besent or read in either English or Zulu.
Sbusiso Ngcobo, a taxi owner andmember of the KwaMashu Taxi Asso-ciation, said the programme was a“wonderful thing” for taxiownerswhowould now know what their driverswere getting up to.
“Itwillsetoffanimprovementinthetaxiindustryandwillresult inlessacci-dents. This is a positive thing for us,”he said.
Lawrence Nxumalo, a taxi owner
and member of the Malukazi Taxi As-sociation said he is happy to have theapplication launched in taxis heowned.
“This is going to help us and let taxiusersget feedback tous the rightway,”he said.
“We really appreciate it. It is goingto decrease the amount of accidentsthat happen on our roads.”
Nxumalo said now taxi driverswould know their passengers werekeeping an eye on them.
“My taxi drivers are open to the ap-plicationandwewilldoourbesttopro-duce better and safer drivers.”

A NEW property rates act will retardsavings and hit ratepayers disposableincome.
But civil society groups havewarned that unless municipal resi-dents lobby against the law — whichhas yet to be brought into force— theymust accept the tax burden.
The Municipal Property RatesAmendment Act, promulgated in Au-gust, will see government institutionsbeingeitherexemptorreceivemassivediscountsontheirratesbillandmunic-ipalities have said that residential andcommercial ratepayers will be forcedto pick up the tab.
JasonUrbachfromtheFreeMarketFoundation said government “should
be encouraging individuals to becomeproud property owners and not mak-ing it more difficult by raising taxes”.
“It doesn’t surprise me given thecountry’s dire financial status that thegovernmentisseekingtoraiserevenueby any and everymeans possible. Theonly way to boost economic activity inthe country is to reduce taxes and en-couragesavingsand investment,” saidUrbach.
He said property owners will “re-duce theirafter-tax incomes” loweringlevels of disposable income, lessensavingsand lead toareductionof “realwages”.
The act will seemunicipalities hav-ing to phase in additional costs tohouseholds over five to seven years asthe amended act is phased in.
The South African Local Govern-ment Association’s executive for mu-nicipal finance Simphiwe Dzengwasaid they have “reservations” aboutthe amendment and will support mu-nicipalities wanting to challenge theact.
“This change in the legislation hasdefinitely negatively impacted onmu-nicipalities; preliminary assessmentsby some metro municipalities werethat increases in a region of about4-5,5%willhave tobepaidbyratepay-ersoverandabove the inflationdrivenrate increases,” said Dzengwa.

AN ambitious plan to create aniconic green energy symbol atthe entrance Durban harbour
wasunveiledat a global ports confer-ence.
The Green Heart Movement pro-posed that two massive heart sculp-tures — at least 15 metres high and16 metres wide — be erected at theentranceoftheportandattheUmgeniRiverwhere theywillpulsatea“heartbeat” and illuminate the city’s nightsky using only green energy.
Speaking the 14th World Confer-ence of Cities andPorts orAiVPat thecity’s Elangeni Hotel, retired Durbanjournalist lecturer Mikhail Peppas—who founded Green Heart with hisdaughterGabriella-Sofia Peppas andUniversity of KZN masters studentSanabelle Ebrahim— said while theplanwas ambitious it would positionthecityasaleaderinthegreenenergymovement.
“We want Durban to be a thrivingcity once again.
“The hearts will for example give12 heart-beats at midday throughspeakers built into the structure and12 green flashes at midnight. Theywill be a symbol of Durban’s aspira-tion of being a clean, green energycity.
Even if theydon’t becomea realitywehope thiswill influence the city onwhat direction it should take,” hesaid.
The conference’s theme has spe-cific focusonwhat is termeda“SmartPortCity” that ismoreaccessible to itscitizens and drives enterprise.
The movement called for a “revi-talisation of a semi-utilised” Marga-retMncadiAvenue (formerlyVictoriaEmbankment) to realise an “attract-ive feature integrated into the ex-panding Smart Port of Durban”.
“The envisaged Green Heart Bou-levard offers an ideal publicspace.The socially refreshed Em-bankment would follow the curve ofthe yacht basin and evoke an infec-tious carnival or mardi gras atmos-phere,” he said.

Pupil heads for Spain>> Ashton College boyclaims 2014 KZNkarting championshiptitle
NINE South African drivers will headfor Spain on 20 November for themost competitive karting champi
onship on the planet.At the new Kartodromo Lucas Guerrero
Chiva, in Valencia, Spain, the team will beamong 288 karting champions from over60 countries competing for the 2014World Championship, having qualifiedfrom over 8 000 drivers worldwide.
TonyKart’s Benjamin Habig finishedsecond in the fastest and most competitive karting class in South Africa in 2014by two points behind Bradley Liebenberg.
The DD2 class caters for drivers between 15 and 31, and Liebenberg and Habig were the rookies in this competitiveclass. Another feather in Benjamin’s cap isthe title of KZN champion as he won the2014 DD2 KZN Karting Championship instyle this weekend during the last race ofthe 2014 regional series.
Benjamin took overall honours in hisTonyKart after winning two of the threeheats and finishing second in the third.
“I am extremely happy to have won the2014 KZN Karting Championship – it hasbeen a long year and I have done 44 heatsthis year in both the KZN and SA championship, and that converted to kilometresis about 1 500,” said Benjamin.
“The highlight, though, of my kartingcareer, is having qualified for the world
championships in Spain, and this will betough competition because every participating country’s number one driver will becompeting for the title.
“I will be part of the South Africa team,with Cristiano Morgado (reigning MastersWorld Champion) Richard van Heerde andJordan Sherrat, all KZNbased drivers. Theother drivers are from Cape Town andGauteng,” said Habig. Four of the SA teamare from the TonyKart stable.
Habig was leading the SA championship through the second half of the seasonuntil the final round at Zwartkops whena firstheat incident sidelined him. Hefought back to win the third heat, and second in the last heat and pundits wereamazed at his pace, having only competedin the Rotax DD2 series for the first timethis year.
Having just turned 16, Benjamin hasundoubted talent, which is not surprising.His father Jan is a past multiple SA rallychampion. Apart from karting, Benjaminswims for the first team, and attends Ashton International College in KZN.
He enjoys music and wants to start rallying “as soon as his dad gives the goahead”.
The grand finals start on November 25and end on November 29, with gruelingpractice, qualifying and prefinal races culminating in the four final races on Novem
ber 29, using an elimination process.Heading the South African team which
competes in Spain from November 25 to29, is Cristiano Morgado.
The locally based motorsportsmanhas won no fewer than four grand final titles, scoring his first as a senior max driverin Egypt in 2003.
In the past three grand finals, in UAE,Portugal and the U.S. Morgado camethrough to win the DD2 masters category,a feat no other driver has achieved in theRotax series.
This year he is hoping for this fourthsuccessive title. He has also raced FormulaRenault in Europe in his long career.
He is the 2014 South African DD2 Mas
ters Champion. Apart from being motorsportmad, this 35yearold lists soccer ashis main hobby.
Taking part in the DD2 Gearbox divisionis Bradley Liebenberg from Sandton, whois just shy of 16 and who is already a multiple karting champion.
Senior max competitor Luke Herring(18) from Cape Town has been knockingon the door of ultimate national successin the Rotax series for a long time and itall came good in 2014.
Luke won the senior max South Africantitle at Zwartkops in early October. JuniorMmax’s Jordan Sherratt (15) from Durbanis already a veteran karter, having startedin the sport at the age of six.
