CANDYCE KRISHNA>>[email protected]
APORT Edward B&B ownersays he has exhausted all re-sources in order to get atten-
tion from the Ugu District Municipal-ity about a dirt road that floods everytime there is a leak from the reser-voir.
Ashwin Rampookar says watergushesfromthe reservoir onto ValleyRoad which leads to Forest Lodge,an establishmenthehasownedfor20years.
Hehas complained to theHibiscusCoast Municipality about the illegaldumping on the same road.
“The leak has been happeningsince last year. Many thanks to theroads department for trying to assistwith a temporary solution, but theroad just gets washed away again.
“This is a monthly occurrenceand affects other holiday establish-ments and flats on the road.
The Caltex garage below ValleyRoad also has to bear the brunt of
the flood.Rampookar said millions of litres
of water is wasted and adjacentproperties have been washed away.
“Guests at the lodge cannot enterdue to the roads. It is affecting busi-ness in the area and the value of theproperties. I have also contactedthe ward councillor, but no perma-nent solutions have been broughtforward.”
He added that when he called
protection services to complainabout the illegal dumping, he wastold to jot down the registrationnumbers of the vehicles.
“Idon’thave the time. I’mtrying torun a bed and breakfast. If thereservoir isnot fixed and theroadnottarred, I will lose business.
“How cantheSouthCoast flourishifmunicipalities do nothing to help?”
Tourism CEO Justin Mackrorysaid the situation needed to be ad-dressed promptly.
“Any situation that comprises theaccessibility of an establishmentneeds to be addressed in the best in-terests of tourism and the customer.”
Ugu spokesperson Sipho Khuz-wayo said: “An intermittent fault onthereservoirinletcontrolmechanismwasdiscovered causing the reservoirto overflow and a section of ValleyRoad towashaway. The inletmecha-nismhasbeenmodifiedandourtech-nicians are closely monitoring thesituation.”
The Hibiscus Coast Municipalitydid not comment on the dumping.

PORT Shepstone detectives are investi-gating several fraud cases where perpetra-tors contact businesses online or via cell-phones and then submit fraudulent proofof their “companies”.
The fraudsters then order merchan-dise such as furniture and building mate-rial from the businesses and request quo-tations for goods they want to order.
After a while the suspects confirm theorder and request delivery of the goods.
“A middle man is used to receive thegoods. The suspects then will contact theparticular business and send a “fraudulentconfirmation” of payment, but in factthey never make any payment into thebank account of the business,” said policespokesperson Lieutenant-Colonel ZandraWiid.
“The business suffers an actual loss asthere will be no funds available to com-pensate for the goods delivered. Businessowners are urged to be alert and not fallfor this trap,” she said. — Supplied

A SINGLE mother of two has expressed her disap-pointment with the Port Shepstone court, sayingshe has hit a dead end with her maintenancecase.
“I’m sure I’m not the only single mother inPort Shepstone going through this,” she said.
Her ex-husband, who has allegedly dodgedcourt dates and has even had a criminal sum-mons issued to him, refuses to pay maintenance.
“In May 2011, I lodged forms for maintenanceagainst my children’s father. From there it hasbeen nothing but one obstacle after the next totry to claim maintenance from him,” she said.
Since 2011, she has received only R600 for herchildren aged eight and 11.
At the time, the man’s employer paid themoney directly into her account.
Last August, Port Shepstone court issued acriminal summons for the father.
The case was set for 25 September, but it waspostponed due to an appeal for legal aid.
The mother said she had the same responseon 1 November 2013, 15 November 2013, 5 Decem-ber, 2013, 20 January and 3 February.
“I was at court at 7.30am on the third. Heonly showed up at 10.30am after someone fromthe court phoned him and asked him to come.”
“He promised that he would pay R1 000 inApril, but I knew this was just another emptypromise. When I told the prosecutor this she said‘he is trying to make an effort’.””
The mother then appeared in front of a magis-trate and withdrew the case.
“I was tired. I had had enough. I was shatteredas my children are the ones being deprived andbeing let down.”
In the meantime the woman and her childrenmoved in with her elderly parents because shecan no longer make ends meet and her parentsare not in a position to help them financially.
“My argument is, where are the rights for thechildren? Why is nothing being done to peoplelike this? I“I am the one left to negotiate withschools and people when money needs to bepaid.
“I have to explain to the schools why there isa living parent, and he refuses to give me informa-tion in order for me to get an exemption for schoolfees. Why does he still have so many rights?”
The National Prosecuting Authority was askedfor comment, but none was forthcoming at thetime of going to press.

NPA losing thewar on drugs>> Lack of leadership and NPA infighting have played abig part in paralysing the unit’s efforts
JEFF WICKS
THE National Prosecuting Authori-ty’s Asset Forfeiture Unit has beenparalysed by the vicious leadership
battle in its uppermost ranks, and losingthe fight against well-heeled drug baronsis collateral damage.
This comes in the wake of a string ofhigh-profile drug seizures totalling nearlyR75 million.
The Witness , sister publication to theSouth Coast Fever, revealed in Tuesday’spublication that just under R6 million incash, several houses and a handful of carsmakeup the entirety of the unit’s success-es in the past year.
The figures were contained in internalstatistics released by the NPA following aformal request.
Experts say the NPA is a rudderlessship, with constant battles for succession,andthat the attack on head Mxolisi Nxas-ana fromwithin his own ranks has causedturmoil in the organisation.
Spending more time tied up court thanstripping drug lords of their flash cars andlavishpads,theunithasbecomeineffectivein the war on international syndicates.
While a series of police raids has nettedbillions in narcotics, asset seizures do notmeasure up.
This as South Africa becomes a knowntradeport for illegal substance manufac-turing and trafficking.
A senior AFU official, who could notbe named as he is not authorised to speakto the press, said a protracted legal proc-ess had to be followed.
“There is a process which means thetime from charging a suspect to strippingthemof their ill-gotten assets isdrawnout.Sometimes it can take years.
“Once these dealers are charged, adocket comes to the AFUand then an ap-plication is made to the high court to seizethe person’s houses and cars, but this canbe opposed in court by the suspect. Thesedealers have access to huge amounts ofmoney and get the best lawyers, so they tietheprocessupincourtforyears,”headded.
He said the seizures amounted to afraction of the local drug trade.
“Theseareinternationalsyndicatesandwhat we seize doesn’t even dent theoper-ations. They don’t feel the pinch; they re-main in their expensive houses. It is verydifficult to deliver justice.”
DA police spokesperson Dianne KohlerBarnard said criminalsappeared tobeoutof reach of the law, and a leader-less NPAwas not helping.
“It is clear when comparing the sei-zures that the criminals are taking greatcare in putting their assets out of reach ofthe NPA.
“ These are criminalswho recognise noborders,andhaveenormousfundstohandtohirethesharpestlegalminds.They oper-ate at aglobal level, and will useevery lawand directive to their own benefit. TheNPA had no significant leadership for aconsiderable period of time, and the newhead Mxolisi Nxasana is today under at-tack,” she said.
“South Africa must come to terms withthe fact that it is a manufacturer and ex-porter of drugs, and before we earn a
reputation as the Colombia of this conti-nent. We must accept that we have dra-matically failed to anticipate the extentand nature of the threat to civilised livingby international organised crime syndi-cates.
“Criminals are organised on a farmorehorizontalbasis,but ourpolice are organ-ised in silos and work within those. Wehave to ask whether we are using ourown resources effectively,” said KohlerBarnard.
Institute for Security Studies research-er Johan Burger said that in-fighting hasscuppered productivity.
“The current problems at the NPA,such as the ongoing in-fighting, the uncer-tainties inrelationto leadership, the neg-ative impact on morale at the NPA andthe damage to public trust and confi-dence in the NPA, must have an inhibitingimpact on the NPA’s ability to performoptimally.
“All of these factors as well as staffshortages within the AFU will similarlyprevent the latter unit from performing atan optimal level,” he said.
“What is urgently needed is for theNPAhouse to be put in order. This can only beachieved once the crisis at leadership levelis sorted out and apparently this will nothappen soon.
The president is to announce a boardof inquiry into the fitness of the NationalDirector of Public Prosecutions (NDPP).
“This may lead to his suspension untilthe board completes its work, which cantake many months before action is takento either reinstate or dismiss him.
This follows a long history of similardismissals — for various reasons — of allhis predecessors and the subsequentcontroversial appointment and perform-ance of Nomqobo Jiba as acting NDPP for18months before his appointment,” Burg-er added.

THE South African National BloodService (SANBS) has been hard atworkensuring that a blood shortageis avoided.
However, with all efforts in placeitseems the cold weather is keeping
donorsaway. Traditionally, thewin-ter months are a difficult time be-cause of schools and universitiesbeing on holiday as wellas increas-es in illnesses such as the flu virus.
This places SANBS under im-
thousands of patients who are reli-ant on blood transfusions for theirsurvival. However at the momentwe have only 1.5days of blood stockavailable on a national level,” said
Vanessa Raju, SANBS communica-tions manager.
She added that it is with thehelpof theselfless blooddonors thatSANBS will be able to ensure thatpatients who are reliant on bloodtransfusions will be to receive it.
SANBS is appealing to people,particularly to regular donors, tonot miss out on their next donationdate and to other members of thepublic who meet the minimum re-quirements to become a blood do-nor.
This will help boost supplies bycommitting to donating blood.
Minimum blood donor require-ments:
• ages between 16 and 65 years;• weigh 50kg or more;• good health; and• lead a sexually safe lifestyle.Contact 0800 11 9031 to find the
nearest fixed donor site.

“IT always seems impossible until itis done.” These are thewords of oneof the world’s greatest leaders, Nel-son Mandela.
While still alive, Mandela urgedSouth Africans to spend 67 minuteson his birthday, 18 July, by doingsomething that will have a positiveeffect on another person’s life.
He believed thatbydoingso,peo-ple will slowly start to change theworld.
If you would like to be a MandelaDay “change-maker”, there are anumber of organisations on theSouth Coast that could dowith yourhelp on Friday.
The Genesis Youth Centre nearthe Norwegian Settler’s Church inIzotsha provides an environmentthat attracts young people to partic-ipate in stimulating activities anddevelop them to become our futureleaders.
“Locals are welcome to visit thecentre between 10am and noon onMandelaDay to help us sort throughdonated clothes. These will be dis-tributed to young people and theirfamilies inthe surrounding commu-
nities where the need is enormous,”said resource development manag-er Joanne Porteous. Call Gail on039 685 6181 during office hours ifyou would like to help.
Give A Child A Family inMargateis in need of donations of toiletriesand food for the children it takescare of.
“Thebestway tohelpwouldbe toget 67 people to donate one babysoap, toothpaste, lotion or a non-perishable food item for the babiesand children at our Child and YouthCare Centre in Margate,” saidSamantha Podmore,manager of re-source development.
“Many of these abandoned, ne-glected and abused children arriveat our centre with nothing, and wewould really appreciate your 67minutes tomake a small donation ofdaily items for our children,” shesaid. For more details, go towww.gcf.org.za and check out thewish list.
The Haven Care Centre inHibberdene, which focuses on un-derprivileged pupils, said as schoolsare still closed it makes it difficultfor the Haven Care Centre to directany person to do their 67 minutestowards the people it assists.
“Locals should consider taking abag of various food, warm clothingand blankets to an improvised areanear themwhere they can hand outthe items to the less fortunate,” saidIvan Woodhead of the centre.
South Coast Hospice CEO Di vanDyk said last year Hospice cared for819 patients through various pro-grammes.
“Raise a collection for Hospice.All funds go towards the reopeningof our in-patient unit. Donate un-wanted clothes or a blanket or spon-sor something amazing to raffle.
We also need packet soup for pa-tients. Alternatively, stand with usfor our morning prayer at 8.15amon Friday — now that’s 67 minutesof what matters most.”
If you’re ananimal lover, consid-er donating a tin of cat or dog food,a blanket,ortoytotheUvongoSPCA.
“Whatever the quantity, howeverbig or small, all donations count.From picking discarded fishingtackle off the beach to keeping ourwater free of pollutants, any animalis worth 67 minutes of your time,”said Lynne Harley, SPCA PRO.

Award-winning spaon the South Coast>> ‘I love trying new things even when they are risky’
THE challenge of trying newthings and yearning for ad-venture is what makes Bonny
Richardson tick.As owner of the Camelot Spa in
the San Lameer leisure resort, herSpa has been rated one of the topspas in South Africa.
It has two PMR Golden arrowawards and a World Luxury Spaaward and is the only “ true” spaexperience on the South Coast.
“On a holiday to the South Coastmy partner and I fell in love withcoastal life and decided to make achange.
“I was offered an opportunity toopen a spa and, being a spa junkie, Ijumped at it and have never lookedback.
“Many people thought I was mad
to make acomplete change of indus-try and location at such a late stagein my life, but it took me out of mycomfort zone and I have thrived onthe challenge.” she says.
“I love trying new things evenwhen they are risky because everytime I learn from them.”
The phenomenon of people likeRichardson is the ability to combinetesting their limits through high-end, risky adventure and applyingskills learnt there to their business.
This ability produces a powerfulconnection between extreme suc-cess in business and in life.
This is exactly what Richardsonhas done and why her spa has beenso successful on the South Coast.
“If nothing else, the South Coastis full of extremes,” says Richardson.
“It is either frantically busy ordead quiet, the people range frompoor to wealthy.
“The miles of beaches are ex-tremely soft and welcoming. Itswonderfully hot most of the timewhich is why when the temperaturedrops to 12 degrees in winter wethink its freezing.”

Dear Santa,WHILE untravelled Durbanites sitand complain at how cold 18 degreesfeels, I trustyouareenjoyingmid-sum-mer at the North Pole.
I have never been there, or both-ered to Google it, but I’m imaginingthat the icebergs melt into pleasantpools in which you and Mrs Clauswallow while sipping piña coladas,whichmust make a pleasant changefrom eggnog.
I would like to start by saying youdisappointedmealittlelastChristmas.While festive cheer and time with myfamilywasall inorder,mystockingdidnot contain the iPad, new car key orlargechequethatIrequestedinmylastcorrespondence.My new year’s resolution was thus
based firmly upon your policy of“watching out and not crying” in
preparation for your annual “comingto town”.
Given that this year’s Christmas listwill be bigger and more ambitiousthan before, I thought I would giveyou an update on my good behaviourin 2014 now to ensure that the elveshave ample time tomake and procurethe items on said list.
Let me start with the bad news.Despitemybest intentions,onecannotgo from evil incarnate to sainthoodwithin a mere six-and-a-half months.I have done nothing toalleviateworldhunger.
None of my proceeds have gone tocharity,unlesspayingaparking fee fora distraught old lady before allowingsomeoneelsetohelphercrosstheroadcounts.
Even though I really have triedhard, I am still not able to wake up intime to be at work at 8am, ever. Afterattendingyoga classes andmeditationworkshops,andresearching the artofZenwhile inhalingcopiousamountsofincense, I am still unable to abide therash, brash and frankly stupid actionsof the followinggroupsofpeople—theyoung and in love, the old andobstinate, the giggling gossipers andthose who think that DStv offers anyvalue for money whatsoever.
On the up side – yes, Santa, I really
havebeenagoodgirl inmanyrespects– I am proud to report the following—I have refrained from inflicting harmonanybody,atleastinaphysicalsense.
This is in spite of a recent plethoraof diseased, hacking, sneezing andspluttering colleagues refusing to takesick leave, thus distributing theirample germs with the help of ouropen-office air-conditioning system.With the help ofmy new and vastly-
underpowered car, I can honestly tellyou that I havenot exceeded the speedlimit even once this year. My trustysteed,whileaffordableandpossessinga propensity to run on air rather thanpetrol, is simplynotcapableofsustain-inganythingmorethan90km/hupanygiven hill.
Withmy law-abiding now at an all-time high thanks to this, I have begunto perceive a glowing mass upon myhead, which I remain convinced mustbe a halo rather than proof of the needforahaircut. Inaddition to thesesaint-ly pursuits, I am happy to report thatI have cut myalcohol intakebyat leasttwopercent andpatiently endured theunreasonable demands of mysuperiors at work.

Happy accidents and God’s grace
TO kick off Mandela Week Ithought I should give a joyfulaccount of why you and
everyone you know (and the rest ofthe cosmos) should not exist.
Hopefully by the end of thiscolumn you will have decided if
you exist by the grace of God or ifyou are nothing but a happy acci-dent.
We gather our perception of theuniverse from “the standardmodel”, which predicted some-thing called the Higgs Boson,infamously known as the “GodParticle”.
Hints of the particle werefound by scientists using the LargeHadron Collider (LHC), in Geneva inJuly 2012.
The LHC is currently the largestscientific instrument in the world,having a circumference of 27kilometres and spanning threecountries (the SKA will dethronethe LHC with 2000 satellite dishesin Africa and another 1000 inAustralia when it is completed in2024).
The existence of this particlemeans there is a “Higgs field”,which is thought to give mass toother particles, if the standardmodel holds true.
In March, this publicationreported on the Bicep2 resultsfrom a telescope placed on theSouth Pole which claimedthey had indirectly detectedgravitational waves, which are theripples in space consistent with theidea that the universe expandedrapidly very shortly after the “BigBang”.
Together these two discoveriesseem to suggest that the universeshould not exist — that the cosmosshould have collapsed on itselfalmost immediately after the BigBang.
This obviously isn’t true, or I
would not be sitting here watchingtelevision while trying to type.
It must be said however, thatthe scientists who conducted theBicep2 experiment admit that theymay not have, in fact, detectedgravitational waves — the ripplesfrom the cosmic inflation — insteadthey may have detected space dustfrom our own galaxy, the MilkyWay.
Stuff happens, that’s science foryou.
So, something is not right here.Obviously there are other
physics we are yet to understand atplay.
Maybe it has something to dowith dark matter, maybe not.
At this point we can onlyspeculate and avoid what I just did,using dark matter — a force we
barely understand — to try to ac-count for a result that should notbe.
This is what science is all about,what excites most scientists — andscience journalists alike — theadvent of what is to be known andwhat new mystery could be bornout of new discoveries.
Paraphrasing Nelson Mandela,when one reaches the top of ahill, one finds that there are manymore to be climbed.
That is basically the path ofscientific discovery.
Also, when one reaches thatcrest of discovery, one may findthat when looking back there arepotholes left behind, gaps in theknowledge of what we alreadyknow.
Happy knowledge hunting.

our emotionsAS much as I “help” vagrants, I havenoticed that my efforts are meaningless,fruitless and futile.
You see and “help” the same person onthe same street corner for four, five, eightyears. How is this sustainable, or is it sus-tainable? I have reached a rather misin-formed inference — most vagrants hatecontrol and discipline at home, which iswhy they are on the streets acting poor.
Do not get mewrong, there are genu-inely poor and homeless people on thestreets, but most “vagrants” are smart —pariahs by day and potential crooks bynight.
They are messing with our emotions.They are lucky we are kind and not thatstreet wise. Do your own research, youwill realise we are being played. I will notmention names and identities — openyour eyes people.

Pothole-repair accountability?COMMERCIAL Road Umtentweni has recentlybeen resurfaced by Margate Construction whom Iunderstand has advised that the job carries aminimum seven-year guarantee.
Of all the road resurfacing and repair jobs Ihave seen on the South Coast in the past few yearsthis is, without a doubt, the best.
From the various reports I have read, thecompany’s quotation wassubstantially lower thanits competitors.
A few years ago I counted a minimum of 120potholes in the road in which we live.
This sounds like an exaggeration, but it is not.A contractor repaired most of the holes, but
within less than a year many of the repaired holeshad broken up and were as bad as they wereprior to the job being done.
Where is the accountability? Do municipal andgovernment contracts with the road-repaircompanies have a clause giving a time-frame
guarantee on each and every repair? This shouldbe an automatic clause in every contract with re-gard to pothole repairs.
The solution is simple— there should be photo-graphic proof before and after repairs.
Today, with digital cameras, it does not cost acent to take photos and to have them preservedon a flash drive.
Therefore, if a pothole repair has been doneand then breaks up within the guarantee period,the contractor should be recalled to repair thepothole at their cost. There should also be a timeframe within which the repair must be done.
I can guarantee that if this was the case, 90% ofthe job would be done correctly the first time andit would saveratepayers millions of rands in dou-ble payments to contractors and saved costs ontyre and rim repairs.

Where is your compassion?I HEARD about a meeting that took placerecently between a group of people where themain purpose was to oust destitute peoplestaying in a property in Commercial Road.
I must stress that I was not at the meeting,so what I heard was hearsay, but it sickens methat there are people whose main focus in lifeisto cause discomfort to other people,especial-ly those who are already struggling under direcircumstances.
I would say they do not have the attitude“there, but for the grace of God, go I”.
From what I hear, the attitude of thesepeople is cold and calculating.
I found it totally laughable when I heardthey said that the people must be given RDPhouses in rural areas and they must be forcedto move there. Their ignorance astounds me.
There are countless people who have beenborn and raised in rural areas who have beenawaiting RDP houses for years and who areliving in broken-down mud huts and shacksthat collapse when it rains, and who areentitled to RDP houses, but who have not re-ceived them.
I do not know the exact requirements forobtaining anRDPhouse,but loosely,the indunain the area has to have proof that the personhas been born and raised in the area —such asproof of church records that they have beenbaptised at a local church, proof of schoolrecords that they attended a local school, proofof long-term residence in the area and an ad-dress. Therefore, it isabsolutely laughable thatthese interfering people think that the desti-
tute people who live in Commercial Roadwould be eligible for RDP houses in the ruralarea. The pastors who look after the destituteat the property in Commercial Road do an ex-cellent job and obtain the ID numbers of eachperson they take in.
They then give these to the police who takefingerprints to do a check to see if the peoplearewantedby thepolice. Thepastorsdonotac-cept wanted criminals, they would be arrestedby the police if they did.
These complainers are also hot under thecollar because the pastors who run the sheltercharge the people for food and expect them tocontribute towards electricity and water.
They say that it is a money-making schemefor the pastors and say they are running abusiness. How tragic that they would gossip
in this unacceptable, derogatorymanner. Obvi-ously, they have never tried to provide food,clothing, electricity andwater for about90des-titute people on a daily basis.
There are so many associated expenseswith running a shelter — fuel to drive to pur-chase the food, tyres, car services, cleaningmaterials, to name but a few.
How tragic that these people sit and plotand get hot and bothered dreaming up allsorts of schemes to get rid of the people.
I challenge them to roll up their sleeves, getstuck in to assist raising money for the upkeepof the families, then to go to the property andprepare and cook meals for them.
Compassion pleaseUmtentweni

Visa regime remains>> Immigration regulations: ‘department to deal with issues’
THE new immigration regula-tions will not be changed, butHome Affairs will deal with
problems that have arisen sincetheir implementation, ministerMalusi Gigaba said on Monday.
“We are willing to engage withanybody who has concerns aboutthe implementation,” he told report-ers in Johannesburg.
Hewas speaking at the opening ofthe Johannesburg Visa FacilitationCentre in Rivonia.
“There are things in the immi-gration legislation which cannot beup for discussion. I think we need toremember…nothing is in the regu-lations which has not been raised inlegislation.”
He said there had been enoughtime to raise concerns about the newregulations before they were passedinto law.
The regulations, which came intoeffect inMay, introduceanewvisare-gime for South Africa. They distin-guish between short-stay visas andlong-stay permanent residence per-mits.
Visa applicationsneed tobemadeby applicants in person. Peoplewanting to change the status of theirvisa can no longer do so in SouthAfrica, but have to do so at missionsabroad.
The new regulations also havestrict rules applicable to children,
defined as anyone under the age of18. Children travelling to and fromSouthAfrica have to produce anuna-bridged birth certificate with thenames of both parents.
A child not travelling with bothparents has to supply either an affi-davit from both parents giving themconsent to travel, a court order indi-cating guardianship, or the deathcertificate of the other parent, copiesof the parents’ or guardians’ identitydocuments or passports and theircontact details.
Yesterday Gigaba said child traf-ficking andkidnappingwasan inter-national problem and South Africahad obligations and would not com-promise on security.
“We need to know who is visitingso we can protect our country.”
He said the Home Affairs Depart-ment was aware of problems, in-cluding lack of Internet access andpeople not having their originalbirth certificates.
“We are ready to discuss the im-plementation and how to deal withthe challenges experienced,” Gigabasaid.
He said the Tourism Departmentand immigration officers had goneto his department and raised issues.
In June he announced that VFSGlobal, a worldwide outsourcingand technology services specialist fordiplomatic missions and govern-
ments, had been appointed to re-ceive and manage visa and permitapplications in South Africa.
Eleven centres have been openedcountrywide — in Bloemfontein,Cape Town, Durban, George, Johan-nesburg, Pretoria, Kimberley,Nelspruit, Polokwane, Rustenburgand Port Elizabeth.
The centreswere openedafter thedepartment realised the previous vi-sa and permit processes were notworking.
He said the new system eliminat-ed corruption and improved turna-round time.
“We urge all applicants for visasto bear with us as this system is stillnew and is bound to confront sometechnicalglitches.This isonlynaturaland, with time, it will be addressedand everyonewill be happy,” he said.
Gigaba said the centres received4 000 applications in June.
Yesterday Gigaba took a walkaround the centre and spoke to em-ployees.
VFS general manager of opera-tions in Southern Africa Rishen Ma-habeer accompanied him and an-swered questions.
In June, Brent Johnson andCherene Delorie took the depart-ment to court to challenge what theycalled “unconstitutional legislation”governing visa applications. Theirforeign partnerswerebrandedunde-
sirable andbarred entryintoSouthAfri-ca. Home Af-fairs said thiswas after theyfailed to followdue processwhen renew-ing their visasearlier in2014.

AFTER two full houseswith BarbieMeyer’s debut performance ofBosman in the Gallows on theSouthCoast inApril, she is to followup with two more performances ofthis compilation of hilarious storiesby Herman Charles Bosman.
Meyer, a confirmed lover ofBosman’s work, tackles her sixthplay based on this infamous au-thor’s work. This time her offeringis taken from his iconic book ColdStone Jug.
It was while in prison for themurder of his stepbrother thatBosman wrote the first of his shortstories. These would go on to be-come among some of the world’sbest known and loved short sto-
ries. Yet it was his prison experi-ences that provided the back-ground for themoving stories in hisbook Cold Stone Jug. This book’srise to classic status has been un-stoppable, and is now widely con-sidered the founding text of allSouth African prison writings.
It is directed by Bets Basson andMarke Meyer and takes place onFriday25JulyandSaturday26Julyat the Riverbend Conference Cen-tre. The shows starts at 6.30pm for7pm. Tickets cost R70 per person.

Bait fish netted in MtwalumeCANDYCE KRISHNA>>[email protected]
SOUTH Coast residents whothought sardines were netted offMtwalumebeach on Friday actual-ly have nothing to be excited aboutas the catch was only mixed baitfish. Mike Anderson-Reade of theKwaZulu-Natal Sharks Board saidthe netting of the fish was not anindication that the sardines wereon their way.
“Six crates of red-eye sardines,two crates of mackereland two crates of sar-dines were netted, butthis is not the sardinerun,” he said.
He said the reason for the mix-ture of the bait fish was that theyare usually scared to swim alone asthey are often eaten by other fish.
“So they form these shoals andswim together.”
He said the good news was thatthewater temperatureon theSouthCoast has dropped to 18.5°C in thepast week.
“That’s cold enough, but I won’tholdmy breath. The sardines usu-ally arrive late in July, but MotherNature has a mind of her own.”

Utshele iFever ngoLwesine ol-wedlule ukuthi uhlala emnyangoudliwa amakhaza. Uthe sekush-one umkhwenyana wakhe emvakokungena ephuma ezibhedlelanokugcine ngokuthi anqunyweimilenze yomibili futhi wase eyo-gcinwangaseMarburgngobaben-genayo indlu. Uthi umkhwenyanawakhe ubeguliswa yisifo si-kashukela nokubola komlenzewakhe ngo-2004.
“Besihlala kulomuzi wethuendlini eyodwa eyakhiwe ngoda-ka. UBaba ubehamba ezibhedlelazaseMurchison nasePort Shep-stone.Bamnqumaumlenzewoku-qala webuya sahlala kodwa ngo-2010ukugulakudluleleemlenzeniwesibili waphinde waya esib-hedlela. Ngo-2012 bamnqumeumlenze wesibili ngoba izilondazakhe zingapholi. Ukunqunywakwakhe bekunyukela kuza emz-imbeni wangasenhla. Ngo-2012kwayona le ndlu yethu yodaka

Uqhube wathi njengoba seyi-wile le ndlu bekulokhu kufikaabantu abaningi ekhaya bem-bhalisa bethi uzosizwa akhelweindlu kodwa bahambe ban-gaphinde babuye. Manje akasaziukuthi enze njani.
“Namanjenjengobasekushoneindoda yami,”eqhuba, “bayangi-fonelaabantubathibazofikangin-gahambi ekhaya. Anginaluthongihleli phandle angazi ukuthikungani ngingalutholi usizo
lokwakhelwa indlu. Ngihlalaetendeni elalethwa abakwaRedCrossngo-2012besizaumkhwen-yana. Ubaba yena ushona njeusehlala eGenesis ngaseMarburg,futhi angizange ngitshelwe ukuthikungani waphuma esibhedlelawayiswa laphaya kodwa ngi-cabanga ukuthi abezempilo bebe-sayibonaimpiloyakheukuthiidin-ga ukunakekelwa endaweni eng-cono,” kusho okaMbanjwa.
Echaza uthe nomkhwenyanauseze wadlula emhlabeni ezitshe-la ukuthi bayoze bayithole indlukodwa uhambe engayibonanga.
Uqhube wathi: “Ngicela uku-sizwa ngakhelwe idlu bakithi. Lelitende engihleli kulo nesiponji ngi-cabanga ukuthi bazozithathamanje abakwaRed Cross ngobaumuntu abebezinike yenaakasekho emhlabeni. Kusho uku-thi la kume khona leli tende, ku-zomele ngakhe igogogo lami lom-khukhu, ngihlale kulo,” kushookaMbanjwa.
Umufi uMnuz JoshuaMbanjwaubekwe endlini yakhe yokugcinaegcekeni lakhe. Bekumiswe ama-tende amathathu ukuze abantubahlale kuwo futhi namalungise-lelo omngcwaboabeqhubekakulamatende ngoba ingekho indlu.
“Ngicela ukwakhelwa indlu,ngiyacela abangaba nosizo ban-githinte ku 071 284 6589,” kucelaokaMbanjwa.
Omakhelwane bathi isimo ahl-ala ngaphansi kwaso ugogoMbanjwa siyinhlekelele edingaukuphuthunywangokukhuluuku-shesha.
UMnuz Sello Morafeoyikhansela lendawo uthe le nda-ba yakwaMbanjwa bayithathanjenge simo esiphuthumayokodwa izinhlelo zikahulumeni zit-hatha kancane.
Uthe: “Abezimo eziphuthu-mayo baseHibiscus Coast Munici-pality baya kulowa muzi, nethim-ba lesifundazwe likaSukuma Sa-khe, nabohlelo lokwakhiwakwezindlu zakwaNdwalane.Bafike bawubhalisa loya muzi,Nabe-ANC bake balethaamaphasela okudla.

DESIREE ERASMUS>>[email protected]
MEDIA24 Local News KZN(publishers of the Fever,Echo, Greytown Gazette andWeekly titles) has partneredwith the Office of the Premierto take its highly successfulspelling bee – which startedin Zululand as the ZululandSpelling Bee – throughout theprovince.
The words which are tobe learned for the KZN Pre-mier Spelling Bee were pub-lished in June.
“We believe the KZN Pre-mier Spelling Bee is a vehiclewith which to educate andempower our local youth.
“ With this event, Media24Local News KZN wanted tomake a tangible contributionto youth upliftment,” said GMof Local News KZN, Neil Tapi-nos.
Speaking at the provincialexecutive council in Pieter-maritzburg recently, KZNPremier Senzo Mchunu saidhe had committed the pro-vincial government to “mov-ing with speed to ensureyouth development pro-grammes reach all corners ofthe province”.
“KwaZulu-Natal ExecutiveCouncil met...and reflectedon the progress this govern-ment is making with regard
to Youth Development. Thepeople of KwaZulu-Natal, es-pecially the youth, are itsgreatest resource,” said Mc-hunu.
“It is critical that the talentand potential of our youth isfully developed and har-nessed, so that we can guar-antee the continuous socio-economic development ofKwaZulu-Natal and South Af-rica as a whole.
“ In doing so we will en-sure that we deal decisivelywith the triple challenge ofpoverty, unemployment andinequality,” said Mchunu.
Marketing manager ofMedia24 Local News KZN,Sharmaine Smith, said pupilshave had close on amonth tolearn the words, and thosewho have entered the compe-tition will then gather atevents in their regions to“spell their way to success”in August.
“While we want pupils tosee this event as fun, we alsoencourage them to study dili-gently for the Spelling Bee.
“ There are hundreds ofthousands of rands in bursa-ry, cash and book prizes upfor grabs for the winningspellers, their schools andtheir teachers.
“ Those who apply them-selves will be able to make avery real difference to theireducation and futures if they
make it to thefinals,”shesaid.The competition is open to
grade 10 and 11 pupils (onefrom each grade – ie two pu-pils from each school) frompreviously disadvantaged ru-ral schools who speak Eng-lish as a second language.
All entrants must be under18 years of age.
Pupilsmustrememberthatonly the words printed in‘bold’ must be learned forspelling purposes.

Car jamming on the increase>> Real defence against falling victim to remote jamming is to be aware of this and check that your car’s doors are locked
ALWYN VILJOEN
LOSSES to remote car jammers,first reported in The Witness in2013, are rising.
InsuranceagencyAonSA’sMandyBarrett saidover thepast fewmonthstheir group noted a 30% increase inreported incidents.
“However, we expect the real fig-ures to be significantly under-report-edasmanyvictimsdon’tbother to re-port the crime to their insurer as anyresultant loss is usually not coveredunder an insurance policy unless
there are signs of forced or violententry,” said Barret.
Aon explained the jammers typi-cally only grab whatever valuablesthey find in a car, but sister publica-tion Wheels24 also reports how carsare electronically compromised andstolen within 60 seconds or less.
Aon shared CCTV footage thatshows how the car of a female clientwas stolen in Midrand, Gauteng.
The first video shows the victimparking her silver hatchback in aparking bay. Then, a bronze car nexttoherpullsoutandthecriminals,who
havebeen following inawhitehatch-back,pull in.Thevictimgetsoutofhercar and heads into the store— she isfollowedbythedriverofthejammers’car, who keeps an eye on the unsus-pecting victim.
As the victim walks away, shepressesthelockbuttononherremote,but shedoesnot turnaround tocheckthat her car is locked.
If shedid, shewouldhave seen theindicators on the criminal’s vehiclenext to her car light up at this point,but not the indicators on her vehicle.
This isbecause thecriminalswere
jammingher signalwith ahouseholdgate remote, which operates at 400megahertz,thesamefrequencyasthecar remote.
Barrett explained how car remotejamming works: “Remote jamminginvolves the blocking of car remotesusing a household remote.
“Both operate at a 400megahertzfrequency and criminals effectivelyprevent the locking action of the carfrombeingactivated. They thenhaveeasy access to the vehicle.”
Barrettaddedthatareasbeingtar-geted included car parks at schools
and service stations — most peopleleft handbags,wallets, iPadsand lap-tops in their car while walking theirchildrenintoschoolorvisitingastore.
“Shopping centres are also afavourite hunting ground. Criminalsare usually parked close by lookingfor targets, and casually walk up andhelp themselves, in most instancesnot attracting attention.”
Barrett said the only real defenceagainst falling victim to remote jam-mingistobeawareofthepracticeandcheck that your car’s doors arelocked.
THE new Mercedes-Benz V-Class receivedtheRedDotAward: ProductDesign in oneoftheworld’s largest product competitions fordesign quality. TheMPV impressed the juryprimarily with its elegance and sportiness.
Thanks to its designelements, thenewV-Class is unmistakably a member of theMercedes-Benz passenger car family, andexudes an air of modern luxury.
Thepowerful front is characterisedbyanupright radiator grillewith a centrally-posi-tioned three-dimensional star.
In the interior, the V-Class continues todemonstrate the clear design philosophy.
The cockpit design, with its circular in-struments, free-standing central displayand intelligent use of space appealed to thejury.
“Dynamic contours and intelligentlyshowcased hi-tech features make the V-Class an automotive icon. The new V-Classis a statement of modern luxury,” saidGordenWagener, head of design at DaimlerAG.
The independent expert jury was im-pressed by the design quality of the V-Class.“Its elegant yet sporty design makes the V-Class a modern MPV offering plenty ofspace,” said the jury in its reasoning state-ment in the Red Dot Design yearbook.
InadditiontotheV-Class,threeotherpas-senger car models fromMercedes-Benz re-ceived prizes as part of the Red Dot Award:Product Design.

BRIDGESTONE will continuefunding research into roadkills onSouth Africa’s road network. The2012 roadkill study in Limpoposhowed on average that nine ani-mals died after being hit by car inthatprovinceaday—or1 121ani-mal in 120 days.
Thenewstudywill takeplaceinPilanesburgNationalPark,north-westofGauteng,andwillberunbythe Endangered Wildlife Trust’sWildlife and Transport Pro-gramme (WTP).
The chief researcher will beWendy Collinson, who conductedthe initial research in 2012, andwas recently awarded the InfraEco Network Europe’s 2014 Per-sonal Award for her work in roadecology in South Africa.
“Wendy’s work has beenground-breaking and Bridge-stone is pleased to be funding thisnew phase of her research,” saidBridgestone’s social responsibili-ty general manager, ChrisTerblanche.
“Roadkill research is not onlyimportant from an ecologicalstandpoint,butalsocontributestoroad safety, because crashes withlarge wild animals can be fatal tovehicle occupants too,” he said.
The Pilanesberg National Parkin NorthWest Province is the firstSouth African park to support theWTP roadkill research.
Pilanesberg ismanaged by theNorth West Parks and TourismBoard.
The park occurs within thetransition zone between the dryKalahari and wetter low veldvegetation, andhasarichdiversi-ty of birds, mammals and plantspecies.
Collinsonsaid that localandin-ternationalevidencesuggeststhatroadkill is a real threat to the sur-vival of a variety of species.
“During recent surveys in thePilanesberg, I found 23 dead ani-
mals on the road, including terra-pins, snakes and rodents,” Collin-son said.
“There were also a number offrogs and birds,” she said.
Drawingonpreviousresearch,Collinson said that roadkill isknown to peak between Januaryand April in South Africa, whenmigratory birds are present andreptiles, amphibians and mam-mals are more active.
However, she said that thenumber of casualties discoveredin May was surprising.
“We conducted about 234questionnaire surveys among thepublic during our May survey.
“Of these, 141 said that theyhad noticed roadkill outside ofprotected areas,
“Only 19 said that they hadseen roadkill in national parks.These included tortoises, birds,snakesandevenarhino,”shesaid.
TheWTPhasstartedanalysingthe questionnaires in detail andwillconductafurthersurveyinthePilanesberg in October.
Collinson encouraged motor-ists tobecomecitizen scientistsbycontributing to roadkill researchby downloading a smartphoneapp from the project’s homepage,which assists motorists to submitgeo-tagged photographs of anyroadkill they encounter.
Terblanche also encouragedmotorists to download the app.
“The long-termoutcomeof thisresearch will be to gather signifi-cant amountsof research thatwillassist conservation policymakersto further protect South Africa’sunique diversity of wildlife,” hesaid.
“WildlifeisanimportantpartofSouthAfrica’s tourismappealandwe congratulate Wendy on heraward for her roadkill research,”he said. —WR.

DAVID KNOWLESYESTERDAYsawthecreamofSouthAfrica’sU18schoolboy rugby players take to the field in thefirst round of fixtures at the 51st Coca-ColaCraven Week in Middelburg.
In recentweeks, there has been somediscus-sion in the media regarding schoolboy rugby —the size of the players, the win-at-all-costs atti-tude, the intensity of it all andplayersbulkingupto enable them to take the knocks week afterweek — but ahead of the week, leading SouthAfrican Super 15 coaches Jake White (Sharks),Johan Ackermann (Lions), Naka Drotske(Cheetahs) and Allister Coetzee (Stormers)agreedthatschoolboyrugbyisanessentialbuild-ing block to producing future players and keep-ing the game alive in South Africa.
“Schoolboy rugby represents a critical build-ingblock in thedevelopmentof fineyoungmen,”saidWhite. “It is important toproduceoutstand-ingyoungrugbyplayers whocan represent theirprovince and hopefully their country.
“Junior rugby in our country has an enviablerecord around the world and this is due in nosmallmanner to thehighqualityof coachingandthe outstanding school systems in place, whichenableustodeliverplayersofquality,abletoper-form on any stage.”
Coetzee was in agreement, saying: “Ourschoolboyrugbyisthebreedinggroundofourfu-ture stars.
If rugby isstrongat that level, it carriesonthrough the various channels, right to thetop. It teaches valuable life lessons such asdiscipline, teamwork and the realisationthat nothing comes easy in life.”
Schoolboy rugby is a tough world thesedays, yet these coaches are satisfied that asa whole, rugby at this level is more thanhealthyinSouthAfricaandofahighinterna-tional standard.
“Ourschoolboystructuresarerobustandwe must have the best structures in theworld, which is essential for the develop-ment of players,” said Drotske.
Ackermann has sons playing schoolboyrugby and says we have a high level, withsome schools very professional in how theyapproach the game.
“If there was a world schools’ league,South Africa would win every year with thelikes of Grey College, Paarl Gym and Affies,to name a few,” said Coetzee.
“Wehavesomebigyoungstersatthisleveland are blessed with serious talent. This iswhat keeps our rugby strong and competi-tive at international level.”
With theweek still to unfold, the coachesdisplayed their loyalty by supporting theteams from their regions to be crowned theunofficial Craven Week champions.
“WesternProvincewithoutadoubt,” saidCoetzee.
“We have a strong league in theWesternCape, which is diverse and always competi-tive.
“The Eastern Cape, where I come from,also always has talent.”
Drotske, who played for the Cheetahs atschoolboy and provincial level, has re-mained loyal.
“I will always back the Cheetahs. Havingplayed all my rugby for them, that is wheremy loyalty is” he said.
WhitebackedtheSharksandcommentedon thevaluable roleplayedby theprovince’sschool coaches, “who all contribute to thestrength of rugby in the country”.
