HIS Worship the Mayor ThamiNgubanewould like to state cate-gorically that “this type of law-lessness will not be tolerated inUmvotiMunicipality andall stepsnecessarywill be taken to ensurethe safety of the town, its citizensand its visitors”.

The mayor said this after 70foreign nationals had sought ref-uge from xenophobia in Grey-town.

Last Thursday, following anappeal from the SAPS and De-partment of Social Development,Umvoti Municipality personnelswung into action to provide asafe haven for the men, womenand children living in Greytown,who had received xenophobicthreats.

As thewordspread throughoutthe town that the refugees hadbeengivenprotection in the townhall the response from the com-munitywasoverwhelming.Food,blankets, water, toys and mealsarrived in a continuous stream

from individuals, churches, su-permarketsandNGOs.This, withthe backing of the police, themayor, councillors, municipalstaff, Protection Services andmore, led the refugees to expresstheir appreciation of this sup-port, the mobilisation of thetown’s leadership, the proactivework of the Protection Services,the SAPS, municipality staff andthe Greytown community.

An urgent meeting was calledby themayorwithrelevantstake-holderstodiscussthis issue.Vari-ous sitesweremootedaspossiblesafe havens to accommodatefamilies once they were to moveoutof thetownhall.Afterdeliber-ations it was agreed that the for-eign nationals would be housedat a place of safety until furthernotice. They were moved fromthe town hall on Friday to a newplace of safety, when on Mondayabout 45 were still being safelysheltered.

The community once again

showed its generosity and com-passion through an overwhelm-ing response to the plight of therefugees.

Greytown SAPS spokesmantold the Greytown Gazette thatthepolicehadthesituationundercontrol and were carrying outregular patrols as well as moni-toring the safe haven. It appearsthe unrest has been as a resultof threats made by a small groupof individuals - this includedwrit-ten threats. There has been noreports of xenophobic attacksand violence. The police wereconfident the threats had beenmade by a limited number of op-portunists.

On Monday afternoon a meet-ing, called by the mayor to dis-cuss the situationwithmunicipalandgovernmentdepartments in-volved, decided the refugeeswould be taken care of as long asrequired.

A inter-denominational prayerservice is planned for 27 April.

IN last week’s GreytownGazette an appeal wasmade toratepayers and residents to at-tend an important rates andIDPmeeting on Friday 17 Aprilat 5.30pm at the GreytownCountry Club.

Much to theeditor’s surprise,last Wednesday a phone callwas received from the UmvotiMunicipality, querying wherethe information about such ameeting had been obtained.

The editor pointed out thatthe Umvoti Municipality had

placed an advertisement in the8 April Greytown Gazette giv-ing details of the meeting.

Oops, that turned out to be amajor problem because theGreytownCountryClubhadnotbeen contacted in this regardand had a booking for anotherfunction for that date.

So while meetings have beenheld in the 10 other wards ofUmvoti – Greytown ratepayerswait to be informed about the2015/16 rates and develop-ments.

WITH the ever increasing costs ofeveryday living many householdsare looking for ways andmeans tosave money.

Tips to help you save:Protein• Quickest way to cut the gro-

cery bill is by curbing your appe-tite for red meat. There are lessexpensive sources - chicken, fish,eggs, nuts, beans and pulses.

• Make the meat in your dishesgo further by mixing in kidneybeans, mixed beans, lentils oreven baked beans.

• Prepare stews from tough andaffordable cuts of meat.

• Tinned fish, such as pilchardsand tuna, is usually cheaper thanbuying fresh fish.

• Whole chicken is cheaper perkilogram. Save money by cuttingthe chicken into portions andfreezing.

Fruit and vegetables• Don’t cut down on your fruit

and vegetable intake. These are“protective foods” that guardagainst disease.

• Buy vegetables and fruit inbulk and share with friends and

family.• Stay away from canned fruit

and vegetables as these tend to bemore expensive.

• Don’t dismiss frozen vegeta-bles as they are usually frozenfresh after harvest and can workout cheaper than the fresh pro-duce.

Grains and cereals• Buy porridges you can cook.

Maize meal is the cheapest por-ridge in South Africa.

Dairy• Milk sold in sachets is general-

ly cheaper than those packaged inplastic bottles or cartons.

• Use skim-milk powder insteadof coffee creamers.

• Cheaper substitutes like low-fat or fat-free cottage cheese canbe used instead ofmore expensiveingredients like ricotta cheese.

FatsChoose soft-tub margarine,

rather than brick margarine.Grill, steam and microwave

foods insteadof frying. It’snot onlyhealthier, itwill also save you fromusing butter, margarine or oil.

Sir, A SANGOMA is somebody who has a giftof foresight - a seer, an oracle, a gift of seeingthings that happened in the past and revealtheir meaning. In Greytown we are, fortu-nately, lucky to add another one in this ever-growing number of seers.

In the Greytown Gazette of 1 April, underthe headlines “Blinkwater ‘volcano’ toerupt”, thenew isanusiwarnedusof thepos-sible disaster, and the whole of Umvoti frozewith amazement.

Some people in the vicinity of the volcanoleft their homes and sought refuge in far-away places.

The volcano did not erupt. Exactly a weeklater the Greytown Gazette had almost thesimilar headlines “Sinkhole on DundeeRoad”. I see some similarities here.

A volcano erupts after a long period of un-derground activity not normally seen withthe naked eye, it bubbles under. Some evenforget after some time that it ever existed.We often hear people talking of an inactivevolcano.

Petite KZN queen

PHOTO: SUPPLIEDCongratulations to Deante Swart on winning the title of Petite Queen ofKing and Queen face of KZN. Deante is also one of the 30 finalists in theFace for South Africa competition. Text your vote PO8 for Deante to 47018.

Sir, CAN anyone tell me why werural folk have to contribute tothe Greytown Municipality?

The P151 road from SevenOaks to the Upper Umvoti Schoolis supposedly a “tarredroad”. However, it is actually a17km stretch of serious potholes,and I mean serious, as some arehuge, deep sections, which vehi-cles have tododgeand in sodoingcan cause a serious accident.

The worst part is the lattersection from the 10km mark tothe Upper Umvoti School wherethere are well over a 100 pot-holes. This too is the area wherepupils have to walk to get toschool and are threatened bytrucks and vehicles dodging theholes.

So where does the money fromrates levied on the citizens of thisrural area go?We don’t have anyother facilities such as rubbishremoval, or maintenance of anysort either.

Are we there just to subsidisethe Greytown population?

Come on, either somethingmust be done and soon or wewillwithhold rates.

BROWN sugar gets hard andlumpy. If you need to soften itsimply break off as much as youneed, wrap in tin foil, bake at150°C for five minutes and it willbe as grainy as dry sand.

Pot scrubbing. Perhaps youhave lost or worn out your potscrubber. A scrunched up pieceof tin foil will do the trick just aswell.

Cleaning silver.The ionchemi-cal exchange where aluminiumacts as a catalyst will polish yourdreary silverware.

Just line a panwith foil and fillit with two tablespoons of saltand pop in your tarnished silver-

ware. Leave for about five min-utes, take out and rub dry.

Get build-up off your iron. Irona piece of heavy duty foil for aminute and youwill find the cak-ing comes off.

Easy fire grate cleaning. Win-ter is on the way.

Adouble layerofheavydutytinfoil placed strategically on theground of the fireplace, underthe grate,will collect the ash andyou can toss it out next day anduse it again. It also helps creategreater heat too.

BON voyage. Auf wiedersehen. Aftera packed and fun-filled fewweeks, our German exchange part-ners waved goodbye on Monday toreturn home. A tour of kwaSizaban-tu, the Kop, Albert Falls dam, a triptoSaltRockbeach,aKarkloofcanopytour, camping at Elandsheim andlearning all about Zulu culture, visit-ing local Kindergartens, a trip to seethe Magwaza potters, helping withoutreach programmes and museumvisits were just some of the manymemories our German visitors willtake homewith them. Two of the big-gest highlights, however, were at-tending a rugby match between theSharks and Western Force and, ofcourse, joining our high school on itsbi-annual school camp - this year, atDarkest Africa, Weenen.

On their last dayhere, theyhandedover a €1 421 cheque to our school,which will go towards our GEPfundraising, from money raised atthe 10-year celebratory dinner lastyear, commemorating10yearsof theGerman Exchange Programme.

A big thank you to the teacherswho are the driving force behind thisprogramme - Herr DietmarMoll andFrau Jutta Scherer from the BZN inReutlingen,aswellasMrsOlivierandMrs Walton from our school

Once again Oom Piet Oppermanwelcomed us to his little piece of par-adise in the heart of theWeenen val-ley - aptly named “Darkest Africa”.

Our entire high school, staff and ourGEP visitors left bright and early onWednesday, sans any electronicequipment - there being little pointas Darkest Africa has neither elec-tricity or cellphone signal. Pupilswere divided into groups of 12 andhad to get back to basicswhile camp-ing in tents, preparing food andlearning to work together.

Ornithology, butterflies, tree iden-tification, bush first aid and a de-tailed history lesson of the Weenenarea and the Qunu and Thembutribes by guest speaker, Mrs CreinaAlcock, were just some of the skillslearnt by pupils, along with currentaffairs debates, treasure hunts,sports, hikes and quiet-time sessionson themountain and, of course, a bigfavourite, swimming in the Bush-man’s River.

Our tired, but happy campers, re-turned safely on Sunday, havingformed new friendships that will lasta lifetime. Thank you to the teacherswho helped, and a special thank youto the Ortmann, Meyer and Köhneparents for assisting in driving thetrucks with all the luggage down arather precarious road.

Our Grade 7 pupils are still awayon their Mpumalanga tour and ourGrade 1 to Grade 6 pupils returnedsafely fromtheir tour toWhiteMoun-tain Lodge near the Drakensberg. Adetailedreportwithphotoswillbe in-cluded in next week’s issue.

WITH the escalating cost ofelectricity compounded byload shedding, these sugges-tions from the City of CapeTownMunicipalitymight light-en the strain.

• Turn geyser temperaturedown to60°C -maintaining thetemperature at 60°C uses lesselectricity than maintaining atemperature of 70°C. Worksbestwhengeyserandpipesareinsulated. Don’t drop it below60°C for health reasons.

• Use lesshotwater - showerinstead of bath and take short-er showers. Use cold waterwhere possible for laundrywashing.

• Switch off equipmentwhen not in use - turn applian-ces off at the wall plug, ratherthan leaving them on standbyasthiscanstilldrawabout20%or more of normal electricityuse.

• Reduce pool pump operat-ing hours - if you have a poolwith a cleaning system pump,reduce its operating hours tothe minimum e.g. six hours a

day. Consider a pool cover andturn off the pump at times inwinter.

• Reduce excessive heatingor cooling - space heating inwinter is a big power guzzler,and the same for summercool-ing for those homes with cool-ing systems. Fan or oil heaterswith thermostats are best.

• Install an efficient showerhead.To test this at home,holda bucket under the showerhead for 12 seconds. Measurethe amount of water in thebucket with a measuring jug.If there is more than two litresthen your shower head is inef-ficient.

• Install efficient lightingCompact fluorescent lamps

(CFL) use 75% less power thanold incandescent bulbs, andlast much longer. Note thatCFLs contain small amounts ofharmful chemicals, so disposeof them safely. Of course,switching off lights in unoccu-pied rooms is also an obviousway to save.

• Install a solar-water heat-

er This can save themost elec-tricity of all. It typically savesabout two thirds of water-heating cost, but this variesand it should be installed witha timer for the best possiblesaving. With rising electricitytariffs and the new subsidiesfrom Eskom (see www.esko-midm. co.za), the payback pe-riod is now no more than fiveyears.

Other important advice:Measure and monitor your

home electricity consumptionand costs.

Educate everyone in thehome, including children anddomestic helpers.

Remember that saving re-quires both behaviour andequipment. e.g. it’s no use in-stalling an efficient showerhead if you shower for twice aslong.

This information is providedbytheCityofCapeTown,basedonresearchabout themost im-pactful andcost-effectivewaysto save electricity in mid-to-high income households.

THE Tuta Carriers St Cathryn’s Club Champi-onship was played over the weekend. Mem-bers from Empangeni, Pietermaritzburg,Durban and Port Shepstone joined the localsin this annual golfing event.

There were a few complaints about thetough rough and the tough errogrostis grasson the new 15th green, with golfers wishingtheyhadspentmoretimeonthedrivingrange.The golfing gods were with the golfers as theweather over both days was excellent.

At the halfway stage on Saturday night theclubhouse leader, newlymarried and currentSt Cathryn’s club captain Paul Els, had aneight-shot lead over Dieter Meyer. Paul leadall the way to Sunday afternoon and onlydropped a further two shots on the Sunday

morning round. What was more interesting isthat Dieter tried to make a charge for it.
