Diesel theft on the rise>> Two syndicates arrested for stealing fuel in Verulam
KAVEEL SINGH
THEFTofdieselhasspiralledoutof control in recent weeks withlosses exceeding hundreds of
thousands of rand in and around theVerulam area.
This isaccording toprivatesecuri-ty companyReactionUnit SouthAfri-ca (RUSA)whohavecracked twosyn-dicates in one week.
RUSA head Prem Balram said hisofficers arresteda suspect after threearmed men held up a security guardat a construction site and demandeddiesel be filled into several 20 litrecontainers.
“The security officer was severelybeaten after he refused a bribe. Thesuspects then loaded the diesel into awhite Isuzubakkieanddroveoffafter
threatening that they would kill [theguard] if he reported the matter.
“They promised to return withinanhour to pick up a second load. TheguardthencontactedRUSAandwith-in minutes officers set up around theconstruction site around 1am andwaited for the suspectswho returned30 minutes later,” said Balram.
He said they forced their way intothepropertyandonemanwas imme-diately arrested as he tried to escape.
“Two suspects managed to evadearrest. The suspect then informedof-ficersthatthebakkiewasgiventohimby an Everest Heights based busi-nessman to steal the diesel for use inhis business and for resale. The sus-pect was later released.”
In a separate incidentmembers ofRUSA arrested two suspects and re-
coveredablueNissanbakkiethatwasused in a theft of diesel case in Redc-liffe, Verulam at around 7.30am onMonday morning.
“Amemberof thepublic contactedthe RUSA operation centre to reportatheftofdiesel inprogress.Adetaileddescriptionof thevehiclewasprovid-
ed by the caller and reaction officersonroute to the scenespottedabakkiefitting the description.
“The bakkie was then boxed in byseveralresponsevehiclesandseveralcontainersofdieselwere found in thebin.Twosuspectswere thenarrestedby reaction officers. They were posi-tively identified by thewitnesses andcomplainants.”
Balram said the theft was a dailyoccurrence in the Verulam, Phoenixand Tongaat areas. He added thatconstruction sites with earth movingequipments, trucking/transportcompanies and general businesses
were targeted.He said that he believed that un-
scrupulous business peoplewere be-hind the theft andwere using driversand assistants to carry out the theftsandprovidingthemwiththevehicles.
He added: “Whenever suspectswere arrested, these business peoplewould appear at the crime scene orpolice station in defence of their driv-ersandgoon toprovideunbelievableexplanations as to how their employ-ees came to be in possession of theirvehicles.”
Balramsaid thatalthough the theftof diesel had spiralled out of control,not every victim had reported thematter as they believed that the sus-pects would not be arrested and thatreporting the matter was inconve-nient.

VEL muruga! Vetri Vel Muruga...Aroohara!Thai PoosamKavady is one of themost popu-
lar festivals observed by the South Indian Com-munity in theTamilmonthofThai (January/Feb-ruary period). Although this is so, it has becomepopularisedby thegreaterNorth Indiancommu-nities as well. Thai Poosam Kavady is a festivaldedicated toLordMurugapPeruman,who isalsoknown as Karthikeya, Arumuga, Shunmuga,Subramaniam,andSkandaamongmanyothers.Lord Muruga, was the son of Lord Shiva andMother Parvathy. According to the scriptures,Mother Parvathi presented a Vel (spear), to LordMurugatodestroythedemonarmyofTarakasuraandcombattheirevildeeds.Therefore,ThaiPoo-sam Kavady is celebrated as a great destructionover evil. Edumban, theAsuraKing,was the firstdevotee of Lord Murugap Peruman. When thegreat Lord defeated him in battle, he asked LordMuruga to grant him a boon that devotees followin his worship bymeans of carrying the Kavady.The carrying of the Kavady has many benefitsnamely, to ridoneself of egoism, illness,burdens,negativity and control of the five senses. Manydevoteesgointoatrancelikestateandpiercetheirbodies with hooks, skewers and small vels cou-pled with lime and flowers. Some devotees pullthe chariot with hooks attached to their backs.Many devotees also pierce their tongue andcheek. All this is done as a symbolism of onenessandcomplete focusonLordMuruga.TheKavadyisapoleorbambooslungover theshoulderof thedevotee, to evenly distribute the weight of what-ever is being carried on it. It is symbolic of onesburdens that'sbeencarriedandrestedat the feetof Lord Murugap Peruman. The trustees andmembers of the Shri Siva Subramniar AlayamofUmdloti Drift Verulam, extends a cordial invita-tion to all devotees willing to part in this auspi-ciousfestival.Thefestivalbeginswiththehoistingof the Flag.

FOR many South Africans, the festive season started on a sad notefollowing the death of Nelson Mandela. However, the sad news hasallowed South Africans to reflect and feel a sense of accomplishment.
2014 is election year and also marks the 20th anniversary ofSouth Africa’s democracy. –There is no doubt a lot has changedin the country in 20 years and many are asking if this is a SouthAfrica Nelson Mandela would have been proud of.
It is without question that Madiba has left a legacy which everySouth African is proud of and now there is a sense of hope judgingby letters and resolutions posted on social media. With a new yearcomes new beginnings and South Africans may be hoping for somechanges this year voters will have the chance to do this.
This week the class of 2013 will start a new chapter in their livesand the Weekly looks forward to sharing these stories with you nextweek.
EDITORIAL COMMENT
Making 2014 count
SOMETIMES it gets difficult to remain positive in our world today.After all, there are many wars going on, we're on the tail end of arecession that has shaken the financial wellbeing of many, millionsof people have lost their jobs and many more continue to do so,our education system is taking hit after hit by losing money and goodteachers and our newscasts are filled with reports of crime, tragedy,death and destruction.
For many, things are not very positive on a personal level either!"What can you do when you have done nothing but mess up
your whole life?"These were the words I heard when I turned on the television
the other day.They were coming from one of the talk shows that are so popular
on television these days.
Starttoday!
There are people in their twenties who already feel like they havemissed the boat to success and happiness.
There are people in their thirties and forties who sit aroundmoaning that life has passed them by.
I want to shout to them all: "Wake up! You're still alive! Whathave you done today?"
If we want a happy life we can't dwell on what is going on aroundus or our past mistakes.
If we want joy and love, we have to choose them today.Wegetanewchanceatlifeeverytimewewakeupinthemorning.
It is up to us to seize it. Today can be the beginning of a new worldand life for each of us. We can choose positivity and joy.
We can live in delight starting at this moment. It doesn't matterhow miserable our world or our past has been. Our present can befull of joy and our future can be full of happiness.
It doesn't matter if we are eight or 80 we can still make ourlives and our world wonderful.
Lifeisn'toveruntilyourlastheartbeat. Starttoday,then,tomakeyour heart beat with positivity, joy and love which in return will continue to leave your world full of light and life...
NERESH GAYAPERSHAD
A bit about
I almost switched channels, but the words I hadheard made me stop for an instant.
I looked at the speaker of these words. Hecouldn't have been more than 18yearsold, but already he was writing off his life as a useless wastebecause of the way the world and his life was turningout. I wanted to yell at him: "You're not dead yet!"
It is so sad that so many people cannot move beyond the negativity that surrounds them and theirpast.
People need to learn to live in the present.There are so many people like that talk show
guest. There are people still in their teen years thinking that their lives are over.

Body foundat mall site>> Victim believed to be robberKAVEEL SINGH
POLICEmadeagruesomediscovery at thesiteof thecollapsedTongaatMalloverthefestive periodwhen they found a decom-
posing body on top of the heap of rubble thathad been untouched for more than a month.
But they say this was not a victim of the No-vember 19 tragedy in which two people diedand several were injuredwhen amassive con-crete slab came down on workers who werebuilding the mall.
Reports indicate the man found was a sus-pectedrobberwhohad fled to thesite toescapefrom authorities.
It is alleged that he robbed a woman of hernecklace outside a nearby shop.
Security guards at the construction site sawwhat happened and chased him, but he disap-peared into the collapsed site.
The cause of his death has not yet been es-tablished and the authorities were waiting forthe results of a post-mortem, but it is believedthe man fell from one of the exposed floors ofthe half-finished mall.
His body went undiscovered for about two
weeks. During this time it was exposed to theheat and other elements.
Apolice searchand rescue teamwas sent into recover the body.
Except for security guards, the site is empty,andatwometrehighfence,withsignsprohibit-ingentry, surrounds it.PolicespokesmanColo-nel JayNaicker said a passerby becameawareof the body due to the emanating bad odour.
An inquest docket hadbeenopenedandpo-licewereinvestigatingthecircumstancesoftheincident, he said.
Search and rescue efforts at the site werecalled off last month and, when asked if policethought there couldbeanymorebodiesburiedunder the rubble, Naicker was adamant therewere not.
Recently the eThekwiniMunicipality filed acontempt-of-court application against proper-ty developer Ravi Jagadasan whose company,Rectangle Property, was building the mall.
He allegedly ignored several court orders tostop construction and the municipality hascalled for him to be jailed or fined.
Jagadasan is expected to oppose the appli-cation.

Despite this somewhat shaky start, he be-came a member of the club when he was 15andnowmanages to playbetween six and tenrounds there each year. “The club has under-gone some positive changes in the last fewyears, and seems to be ever improving. Thecourse itself has always been a magnificenttest of one’s golf and it is one of my favouriteparts of the city,” said Van de Ruit.

WEEKLY REPORTER
LOCAL lad PrenelanSubrayen was oneof theplayersvoted
by thepublic of SouthAf-rica to play in the presti-giousNorthversusSouthclash as part of the Cell CFestivalofCricketplayedin Cape Town last week-end.
Subrayen, a 20-year-old cricketer from Veru-lam, was recognised bythe public after his out-standing performancesinthe lastU19WorldCupin Australia where hewas Man of the Match inthequarterfinalsagainstEngland and the out-standingSAplayer in thesemi final against Aus-traliawhere SAwasnar-rowly beaten by thehome team.
Subrayen who is acontracted player for theSunfoil Dolphins in KZNis a bowling all-rounder.
He batted at the tailend of the South inningsalongside greats such asHashim Amla, JP Dumi-ny, Henry Davids, RoryKleinveldt, Robin Pieter-son and David Miller.
Prenelan had onlyone ball to bat which hesmashed for six off pace-manChrisMorris to takethe South team beyondthe 150 mark.
SA captain, GraemeSmith and fellow Proteabatsman, Quinton deKock, who also featuredprominently in the SA
U19 team in AustraliaandmorerecentlyfortheProteaswhere he scoredback to back hundredsagainst India made easymeal of the South open-ers,L.TsotsobeandHen-dricks. The North teamwere cruising to victorywhen Kleinveldt struckwith Subrayen taking atopcatchatmid-off to getrid of Smith.
Kleinveldt struck andaccounted for threemorescalpsandbroughtthe Southerners back in-to the match. Subrayenwasbowledjust oneoverfor nine runs. Captain JPDuminywent back to thetrusted and tested RobinPeterson and Hendricksbut unfortunately Faf duPlessis and Albie MorkelblastedtheNorthteamtovictory with one ball tospare.
However, itwasabril-liant day of cricket andthe fans were treated toan exciting and enjoy-able match.
Hopefully thiswill be-come an annual eventand move to differentvenues throughout thecountry so that the SApublic can be treated tothis extravaganza.
