Gone Fishing

AT THE final meeting of the ScottburghCommunity Police Forum on December 13,the members of the SAPS made an urgentappeal to members of the public, and in par-ticular, to visitors from out of town, not to tipthe illegal car guards who have taken over theScottburgh CBD. The SAPS accredited carguards all wear pale yellow T-shirts with thewords Car Guard and Scottburgh CaravanPark printed in blue on the shirts.All the others, who have suddenly appearedin their neon green and orange vests, are notaccredited car guards and many are knownthieves and drug addicts. By giving themmoney, members of the public are contribut-ing to the criminal element operating in thetown. Should a “car guard” become aggres-sive or interfere in any way with the free flowof traffic, please report the incident to theScottburgh Police Station immediately.The SAPS has also asked members of the

public not to circulate photographs of arrestedsuspects before these people have appeared incourt and been formally charged. This actioncould compromise ongoing police investiga-tions and eventually lead to cases beingthrown out of court on the grounds of conta-minated, and therefore inadmissible, evi-dence.

TWO OWNERS of illegal taxi ser-vices, a father of 6 and a mother of 4,pleaded guilty to operating their vehi-cles without the necessary licencesand Public Drivers’ Permits and were

fined R1 500 each, in District Court 2on December 13. Persons operatingvehicles on designated taxi routes arewarned that besides their operationsbeing illegal, they could also find

themselves being targeted by the moremilitant members of registered taxiservices. Taxi violence continues tobe a problem in the area and requiresconstant monitoring by the SAPS.

EARTHMOVINGE Q U I P M E N Tmoved onto the siteto prepare the roadsand other infrastruc-ture last week, and inthe first two days ofthe sales team beingon site, 15 cottageshave been signed for."We are expectingthis trend to contin-ue," said HibiscusRetirement Villages'CEO, John Webster.He bases this on thefact that there is awaiting list of over2,000 people wantingthe secure environ-ment that HRV hasbeen offering theover 60s for the past50 years. Widenhamwill become HRV's fourth retirementvillage, with Margate (initially calledVillage of Happiness) being the flag-ship, followed by Umdoni andRamsgate. Local contractor R&MConstruction will be undertaking thebuilding operations under the guid-ance of the company's owner,Richard Irwin. Richard has workedwith the Hibiscus team on severalprevious projects, the most recentbeing the extension of Umdoni toinclude Phase 5.Widenham is expected to grow to 500units, some offering exquisite seaviews, others, the lush undergrowth

that will be encouraged and enhancedby indigenous gardens. The villagewill be completely fenced with 24-hour security. The village is expectedto boost the local economy. It is con-veniently situated just off the N2, andfar enough away to escape trafficnoise. It is a mere 27km from Toti'sKingsway Hospital and provincialshopping complex, Galleria, and onlya ten minute drive to Scottburghwhere a variety of medical servicesand shopping are on hand. And ofcourse, Umkomaas is a stone's throwaway where there are shops, banksand restaurants.For the active retiree, Widenham will

prove ideal with several golf clubs inthe vicinity and one of the world's topdive sites, Aliwal Shoal, just offshore. Ultimately the village willboast its own bowling greens, club-house, tennis courts, chapel, CareCentre and hall. John Webster, whopersonally oversaw the developmentof Umdoni will, at the end ofDecember, resign from his position asCEO, and take up his "retirement" jobas project co-ordinator of WidenhamRetirementVillage. "There could beno better or more qualified person tooversee this new Hibiscus RetirementVillages project than John Webster,"said society chairman, Mike Howes.

A large crowd welcomed the Mardi Gras to Scott Street on Sunday. Seen above is Scott Street abuzz with sightseers and prospective buyers,

enjoying the occasion.


THE CHAOTIC state in the administration ofUmdoni Municipality has impacted negativelyon the policing of the Scottburgh CBD and thebeach. Umdoni provides financial assistance to the

SAPS, thus enabling the visible policingdepartment to employ extra Bobbies on theBeat. However, these Bobbies, who work long

hours under often unpleasant conditions, were

not paid for the months of October andNovember, because of an administrative “hic-cup” at the municipality.

The negative impact that this has on themorale of these men and women cannot be

underestimated, particularly when it has beenalleged that those selfsame municipal officialswere among those who insulted the police offi-cers during the December 2 disturbance at theScottburgh beach.

Chaos at Umdoni Municipality impacts on policing

AT A Special Council Meeting held onDecember 13 at the Umzinto Town Hall , theANC used its majority and appointed MrBongani Nyuswa as Acting MunicipalManager. Currently Mr Nyuswa is a GeneralManager of Corporate Governance atUmzumbe Municipality.

Councillors from the minority partiesopposed the appointment on the grounds that

consideration should have been given to stafffrom within rather than another “outsider”being apointed. Councillor Edwin Baptie of the DemocratricAlliance suggested the name of the experi-enced and respected former Ugu MunicipalManager Khayo Mpungose who, apparently,is contracted to Cogta and is resident inScottburgh. Nyuswa will act on a month to

month basis for a period not exceeding threemonths. The appointment must be done in concur-

rence with the office of the MEC of Co-oper-ative Governance and Traditional Affairs (CoGTA), Mrs Nomusa Dube-Ncube. Is the delaying tactics in the permanent

appointment of MM dependant on whichfaction wins at Nazrec?

THE UMKOMAAS Secondary Schoolmatric class of 1992 hosted a celebratoryreunion at the Cutty Sark on SaturdayDecember 2. It was an evening of reminiscing, meeting,

greeting and catching up after a long intervalof twenty-five years since they were all matricclass buddies. Most of them are now in employment in

other provinces.Lots of spontaneous laughter and comments

flowed as pictures of the young days werescreened. Twenty five years is a long time yet

this group appears to have kept in touch andhas reserved a special place for six colleagueswho had passed on. An ornamental remembrance tree decoratedwith name tags of their deceased friends wason display. Remembered were: Wendy,Vanoshini, Lilly, Kuben, Vani and Preneven. On Friday some members of the group

equipment to carry out research. Pranav is theyoungest engineer in the team. He had previ-ously been on two other ships and is fortunateto have travelled to the USA, England,Belgium, Russia, Turkey, Egypt andMauritius. Being a sailor is a tough life requir-ing adjustment to military style discipline andnaval command. “This is an experience like no other,”

from different countries is extremely benefi-cial and I will be the poorer without it,” saidPranav. He earned four distinctions in matricand successfully obtained a diploma inmechanical and marine engineering. He ishopeful that his achievements will be aninspiration to young learners yearning for anadventurous and disciplined career.

BEWARE OF scammers using tar-ring service advertisements frequent-ly seen at intersections and on road-sides, warns Capt Shaik of theUmkomaas SAPS. In a recent incident, a resident in

Centre Street, Saiccor Village,responded to such an advertisementoffering tarring services. She calledthe number and a male answered andagreed to give a quote for the job.She gave him her physical address.On October 20 at 10am, “the tarman” contacted her on Whatsapp stat-ing that he was from Durban andwould be coming to give her a quote.

On November 25 he gave her a quotewhich she accepted and he indicatedthat he would commence work soon.On November 27 he arrived at 6.30in a gold coloured Volvo and left twoworkmen who started to prepare thesite. On the same day at 5pm when he

came to fetch his workers, he request-ed R7 000, which she gave him.

The next day they came back towork and at the end of the day herequested another R7 000 assuringher that would complete the work thefollowing day. She gave him the money but when

they did not arrive for work the nextday, her worst fears were realised. OnNovember 29 she called the man sev-eral times but the call went to voicemail. With the belief that she wasscammed for R14 000 she reportedthe matter to the Umkomaas police. The SAPS has cautioned against thetemptation of accepting services atdiscounted prices and more especiallyin giving work and making paymentsto strangers who cannot be traced. “This is a case of inviting thieves

onto one’s premises and it is a warn-ing to others to exercise the utmostcaution,” said Capt Shaik.

Dear Rising Sun...

As much as it is in my veins, and I willalways fight to save it, I hold no brieffor Umdoni Municipality whilst it contin-

ues to be an institution incapable of listeningto its citizens, or applying its resources care-fully and in the public’s best interest. Despite this it has in the past outperformed

many municipalities in KZN. It must be saidthat this is no great achievement because thegeneral standards of performance in KZN areappalling. Having served Umdoni citizens for longer

than most, I can say with conviction thatUmdoni has great potential, and prior to theappointment of the last MM, the Municipalitywas making good progress. The appointmentof Mr Xolani Luthuli was devastating forUmdoni and it began a downward trajectory.In 2016 however, it was dealt a vicious blow. Vulamehlo had long been identified as an

institution in distress and incapable of man-aging its own affairs. This was a strong moti-vator in the disestablishment of Vulamehloand the incorporation of 65% of its territoryand holdings into Umdoni. What transpired in2016 is that the Vulamehlo regime took overUmdoni, rather than Umdoni absorbingVulamehlo. Since then Umdoni has beeninfected with the VULAMEHLO VIRUS and isnow being run like a spaza shop.The previous MM, Mr Luthuli, escaped dis-

ciplinary action, compliments of the ANC hier-archy and COGTA officials, who delayed theirinvestigation report long enough to let him goscott-free, after 2 months of sitting at home inthe comfort of his couch, whilst earning R80000.00+ per month. This report, which bynow has been watered down to meaninglesswaffle, has never seen the light of day, andwas destined for file 13 the day COGTA offi-cials put foot in Umdoni to do something theycalled an “investigation”. Why they evenbothered is questionable, but the ANC wasadamant that the council would not appoint aprivate forensic investigation and we nowknow why.Today, 6 months after Luthuli’s quiet depar-ture, we have had 2 acting MMs, and current-ly do not have an MM at all. The frighteningaspect of this risky and self-inflicted condi-tion, is that we have been reminding theMayor month in and month out, to get on withthe appointment of a replacement, and hisresponse is a nervous grin. The DeputyMayor is too absorbed in getting her luxury

vehicle, driver, bodyguard and whatever elseshe can indulge herself in, whilst receivingthousands every month in irregular S&Tclaims, and the Speaker is hot on her heels,whilst presiding over meetings in completecontempt of the standing rules. It is likewatching a very bad movie. None of them has grasped the magnitude of

the problem faced by an institution that doesnot have an appointed Accounting Officer. Ihave no doubt that the instant one of the staffreminds them that they will not get their bigDecember salaries because it must besigned off by an MM, they will spring intoaction and get their comrades to make aninterim acting appointment, pending theapproval of the MEC. The irony of this is thatwe made this proposal at last Wednesday’scouncil meeting, and they opposed itbecause they had not thought of it first. Whilst there is no cat, the mice do not justplay, they go awol. Service delivery is grind-ing to a halt and legal challenges are pilingup. Project management has slipped tounprecedented lows as the R40 million CBDUpgrade project blunders on without so muchas a scope of works, costed bill of quantitiesand time schedule, to speak of. It is like arerun of the Umzinto CBD project, that turnedthe town into a movie set resembling a wartorn territory. We suffer from a chronic caseof Vool-Ay-ensee-Itis, or the ANTI-MIDASTOUCH. How is it possible to turn R40 mil-lion into a disaster? Easy… focus on corrup-tion rather than delivery. Remember the ScottStreet resurfacing job? It cost Umdoni R14.8million, and COGTA, as the funders, did notflinch. Last week 5 vehicles were seizedunder a court order due to nothing less thanwhat I call criminal negligence. Our situationis dire whilst UMDONI wobbles under theeffects of the infection.To the people of Jolivet, Kenterton,

Dumisa, Braemar, Mistake Farm, Maysieland,Dududu, KwaCele, Amahlongwa, Amandawe,Olwasini, Mjunundwini, Malangeni, Sawoti…Ibeg you brothers and sisters… don’t let thesepirates steal our precious cargo. In 2019 wemust send them away so that our ship cansail again.

Ever hopeful.

Councillor Edwin Baptie

Umdoni is being run like a spaza shop

It is Sunday, December 3, and my husbandand I have just returned from the beachafter a walk through the Scottburgh Caravan

Park. Before returning home, we sat on thegrass embankment above the beach to watcha Nipper event taking place over two days thisweekend. What a wonderful sight.Scottburgh beach is filled with eager junior lifesaving participants getting ready to take partin the various races, plus all the parents andfamilies who have accompanied the competi-tors in support of the children and theirrespective clubs. Most of these people arevisitors from other towns along the coast. Agreat day for all and particularly good for thetown economically. However it is once againmarred by the filth lying along the wall next tothe beach showers and on the rocks belowthe swimming pool. BUT my real gripe is thecondition of the swimming pool. It looks like acesspit. It is beyond filthy. How is it possiblethat our beach manager manages to overlookthis disgusting mess week after week. I dounderstand the difficulty in keeping this areaclean with the high volume of people whoflock to the beach over weekends. The braaiarea which has been a bone of contention formany years now, and has come to be accept-ed as a free for all area most nights, supportsa very large number of people every week-end. The municipality does send cleanersdown every morning to pick up the mess leftbehind by the partying hoards. What a thank-less job, but a job is a job...These cleaners seem to stop short when itcomes to the actual main beach and the rocksbelow the swimming pool in particular. Thedetritus floating on top of the water in theswimming pool, which has accumulated in thedeep end of the pool, is an absolute disgrace.How can we sell our town and beach-front totourists and out of town visitors when they arenot able to use the facilities at the beach,such as the swimming pool, most of the time.They certainly cannot allow their children torun freely at the braai area owing to all thebroken glass lying on the road and thegrassed area. Most of the broken glasscomes from bottles that originally held alco-hol... No alcohol allowed!!!! Ho Hum!! But wehave come to accept the ineptitude of themunicipality and police when it comes to con-trolling this area. For many weeks the swim-ming pool remained empty. I was given manyreasons for this – no money for the chemicalsto scrub it down being one of them. Surelywith the approaching holidays, this is notgoing to be the norm. If you have no ideahow to keep the swimming pool clean Mr.Beach Manager, get someone in who doesknow how to do the job. Does this area notform part of your job description and to whomdo you report? It would appear nobody ischecking on your performance, let alone mak-ing sure you have the means to carry out yourduties adequately. I absolutely dread to thinkwhat the toilets must look and smell like withso little control and guidance from you. As anindication of the absence of control I have toshare what I witnessed when we did return toour flat. The cleaners were still down at thebraai area picking up the filth left by the previ-ous night’s revellers, when from behind thewall over the railway bridge I noticed greenbottles flying through the air followed by asmashing sound. On closer inspection I noticed one of the

municipal cleaners picking up dozens of bot-tles and flinging them over the concrete pal-isade fencing onto the railway line side of thefence. Makes sense really. Why collect thebottles in a bag to be disposed of when youcan just fling them over the fence out of sight.If you think I am exaggerating, do an inspec-tion of the site. I would like to add that although my maingripe in this letter regards the beach managerand his lack of control of the beach, someonein our municipality should be held accountablefor not taking action to make sure that thebeach area is better managed. It is no usespending 20 to 30 million rand resurfacing theparking area and upgrading the sidewalks andlighting, etc if one is not going to maintain theupgraded infrastructure.

Cheryl Verster

Mr Beach Managerwhere are you?

Some of us at Farm Sonti are living infear of certain thieves who have target-ed our area. These known thieves steal

doors and pipes from the houses only to sellthe stolen items to the next door neighbour orto the same person from whom they stole theitems. The police have been notified but noth-ing has been done. Some of the residentshave been attacked and threatened with

firearms by these criminals. Other residentshave been threatened and ordered to vacatetheir houses. What makes it worse is that thecriminals are known to the people and to thepolice, and yet nothing is done. The house inwhich the criminals live is packed with lootstolen from the residents.

Humberdale Reunion

With the festive season already uponus, it is time to reflect on what hasbeen a very challenging year. We

must also acknowledge and give thanks to thevarious role players for outstanding achieve-ments in their respective spheres.On top of our list must certainly be our

beloved Umdoni Municipality. Thank youUmdoni for operating at minimum efficiencythis past year - way lower than 2016. Thankyou Umdoni for ensuring that our roads havereached such a deplorable state that it is nowimpossible to drive on them without endanger-ing pedestrians and oncoming traffic. Umzintoroads now resemble the surface of the moonwith its many craters. This will no doubtimpact heavily on vehicle owners repairingtheir damaged vehicles. Thank you Umdonifor the overgrown verges and bushes whichhave not been maintained, possibly for thiswhole year. This oversight is now helpingcriminals to stalk their victims. Thank you Umdoni for allowing the illegalelectrical connections to the informal settle-ments to get so out of control that now schoolchildren and pedestrians alike run the risk ofbeing electrocuted on a daily basis. Thankyou Umdoni for allowing the town of Umzintoto operate in absolute chaos on a daily basis.What happened to the infringement of munici-pal bylaws? Last time I checked, trading/hawking on the sidewalks was illegal.Conducting vehicle repairs and the washing ofvehicles in close proximity to our rivers leadsto runoff tainting our already precious waterresources. Thank you Umdoni ProtectionServices for turning a blind eye to this dailyoccurrence. Thank you Umdoni for allowing afuneral parlour to operate literally metresaway from St. Francis Primary School. Yourdedication to protecting our young and vulner-able childtren is most heart-warming.This is neglect on a grand scale never seen

before in Umzinto. How did we allow anincompetent, grossly negligent municipality toplunder the town of Umzinto beyond recogni-tion? How can publically elected officials ofthis town stand by and allow this ANC-runmunicipality to continually disregard the rightsand needs of ratepayers residing in Umzinto?Is it not a crime to take payment for servicesand to not provide the intended services?When will our town receive the breath of freshair it so very urgently requires? This municipality continues to give the townof Scottburgh all the attention and the rest ofits constituencies fall by the wayside. How dothese people accept their salaries, knowingfull well that they are not doing their jobs?Corruption and non-service delivery is theorder of the day and these incompetentemployees of Umdoni should be shown thedoor. It is time for the people of Umzinto inparticular, to elect officials who will serve theneeds of the people and not themselves. ThisANC municipality should not be allowed tooperate any longer in this manner.

Dear Umdoni Municipality

Please don’t fix the pothole outside myhome. Since my last communication onthis matter, the pothole has increased in

size and it is gratifying to see how carefullydrivers are negotiating this stretch of road inan effort to avoid the hole. If you repair thepothole, Williamson Street will once againrevert to being a racetrack. While you are not repairing potholes, couldyou contrive to dig a trench across theArbuthnot Street / Williamson Street intersec-tion and thereby force drivers to observe thelaw and actually stop at the stop street? Itwould be greatly appreciated.

Marguerite Huson

Open letter toUmdoni

Municipality Who you are is determined by whatyou put into your mind. That meansthat your behaviour is already pre-

determined by your thoughts, long before youmanifest your behaviour.What we do when we want to change ourbehaviour is to say that we must actuallychange our behaviour. We say, “I will notthrow something at you again when I amangry”, or, “I promise I will put away myclothes tomorrow”. We usually mean it, butwe go away and repeat the same behaviourover and over again.This is because we are trying to treat thesymptom (behaviour) instead of the cause(thoughts). We have seldom, if ever, beentaught how to change our thoughts.In our community today we deplore so manythings that are not improving the lifestyle ofour voters. It seems that so many councildecisions are made without exploring thedata objectively first.

CHANGE – the definition of this word is

“alter; substitute; get rid of; exchange”.Many areas of our lives make us happy andwe do not want anything to change, but weall have areas that are unhappy and then wewant something different to happen.The difference between wanting it to hap-pen and actually making it happen is awide chasm that is never expressed eitherin our minds or in our actions.Most of us want our outer circumstances tochange, while we do nothing about what isgoing on with the inside of our lives. Beforewe can get up on the outside, we have to getup on the inside.Very few people prefer change, for the simplereason that change requires more work thanmaintaining the status quo.

When will we change?John Maxwell, the New York Times best-sell-ing author says: We will change:1. When we hurt enough 2. When we are bored or restless enough 3. When we learn or receive enough

4. When we are encouraged enough.Until people learn how to change theirthoughts, they will never experience a differ-ent outcome. Doing the same thing over andover again and expecting different results issaid to be the first sign of insanity. No, it isactually the first sign that we have no idea atall how to change!!I am involved in teaching people how tochange their thoughts. What a sense ofachievement people experience when theyhave understood the importance of the sub-conscious mind with all its memories and howto work with it to bring about change.The field of cognitive neuroscience is relative-ly new and it is exciting to see how currentresearch is supporting the above. Each of ushas such untapped potential in our ability tothink and process information and ultimatelyto change our behaviour ---- if only we areshown how!!

Mrs Gail Keevy

What you do is determined by who you are

The elective conference, is a “make orbreak” for the ruling partyI am not amember of the ANC, neither am I a

sympathiser. I am merely an observer who letgo of the syndrome of loyalist-based, politicalreasoning, many ages ago. The upcomingANC elective conference has had many aSouth African talking. Some are worried, oth-ers are nervous about their political futures(ie. their cushy cabinet posts, handed to themon a silver platter as rewards for backing anddefending “so & so”). All the clamour going onin our beloved country, has led me to two

conclusions regarding the two front-runnersfor the ANC presidency.

a) If Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma clinches thesought-after position of ANC president, andultimately becomes South Africa’s first-everfemale president (under the guiding hand ofher not so estranged husband, that is), thedivisions that already exist within the ANCand its alliance partners, will lead to the ANCgetting an even smaller slice in the 2019national elections. This will be due to the factthat the current president is in denial about

The elective conference, is make or break for the ruling partythe divisions within the party and their impacton the party’s performance at the polls. Yes,many individuals in KZN left the IFP andjoined the ANC when its president-elect hap-pened to be a traditionalist Zulu man fromInkandla. This in turn secured the ANC’sstrong grip on the province. This chunk ofsupport has bolstered Dlamini-Zuma’s posi-tion in the province, but does nothing toimprove its image outside the province. If theresults come back in favour of Dlamini-Zuma(with the financial backing of the Guptas per-haps), many within the party will seek otherpolitical alternatives. Electing Dlamini Zuma,is viewed by many as extending JacobZuma’s term in the presidency to a third andfourth term.

b) If Cyril Ramaposa is elected president,many will feel that the economic, and per-haps the mora,l future of both the organisa-tion and the country is more secure. Manyvoters in KZN have started to make the U-turn back to the IFP and this has been evi-dent in most bi-elections within the province.This U-turn may take a larger form, if

Ramaposa is elected president of the party.Many may disagree with this statement, how-ever it is not a secret that tribalism hasinformed many a political decision, not onlyin the province of KZN, but also in the presi-dency. Ramaposa is in a better position, afterthe elective conference, of uniting the ANCand returning it to its former glory - a glorythat is void of cliques and cabals. If he doesnot go on a witch-hunt or a purging spree inhis cabinet, he might just be able to patchthe cracks within the ANC and the alliance asa whole.The question that remains is this: will theANC vote in favour of unity and prosperity, orwill its members vote in favour of uncertainty- uncertainty in the 2019 polls, as well asuncertainty in terms of the country’s econom-ic future and vague policies in as far as get-ting a grip on corruption and lawlessness isconcerned. The choice is theirs and its con-sequences are ours, whether we love theANC or hate it!

Henry Parsons’s article‘From my saddle’ in theRising Sun, got me think-

ing about Rhodesia (Zimbabwe)in the good old days. I was bornin Selukwe, a little mining town,many years ago. My father worked on theShamva Gold Mine, and mygrandfather farmed in the MozieValley District, known by many asthe ‘Bread Basket of Africa’.Crops of all description, but espe-cially maize and tobacco, weregrown as far as the eye couldsee. Mugabe changed all that when

he came to power 37 years ago.Thanks to the help of the Britishgovernment, farmers were drivenoff their land, losing with theirhomes and farming equipment(tractors and trucks), in mostinstances, without compensation.The poor Black people didn’tknow how to farm, so 90 percentof all farms were left to lie fallow,farming equipment was neverused and left out in the rain sim-ply to rust away. Mugabe, according to reports,appropriated 10 of the bestfarms, for himself, his family andhis friends. Over the 37 year, when crops inthe northern countries failed, mil-lions of people were affected astheir source of food dried up inthe south. Henry Parsons’s article

describes the wealth that Mugabehas accumulated during his 37year reign. It is mind-boggling – a R14 bil-

lion Rolls Royce, Phantom cars,mansions worth R126 million, amulti-million rand radar system,and so it goes on. What did heachieve during his reign, just likeZuma, nothing but self-indul-gence. I read in the papers that Zuma’s

cronies, ministers, etc queue to

go to his palace in Dubai (fullypaid for by the SA government).There is corruption at the high-est level as well as money-laun-dering. I was wondering sometime back why Zuma wanted togo to Nigeria, using taxpayers’money. Or the Congo. I can’tremember which one becauseaccording to reports they areboth nearly bankrupt. It was totake his measurements for a stat-ue that they intended to erect, inhonour of what? You tell me. They dare not erect one as itwould be vandalized the momentit was put up, but it has beenerected according to the papers. Then there is the Brian Molefeaffair - R30 million paid out to aman who has only been atEskom for a short time. Isn’t thatdisgraceful when there is somuch poverty in SA? How couldthe board justify a payment likethat? It was called “early retire-ment”. Some people call it state cap-ture. I listened to the debate onTV. Brian Molefe claimed that he

didn’t know what was going onbecause in question after ques-tion he stated that he was toobusy to worry about otheraspects of Eskom. He was toobusy sorting out the load-shed-ding that was crippling the coun-try. Yet he mentioned approxi-mately three times, that it was hisyoung engineers who had solvedthe problem of load-shedding, nothe, Brian Molefe. The R30 mil-lion should have been given tothem. Another thing that Inoticed in the question andanswer probe into Brian Molefewas that he had worked for bothTransnet and Eskom, and theywere both captured. Makes you think, doesn’t it?

How interesting to note five vehiclesbelonging to Umdoni Municipality wereattached and removed by the office of

the Sheriff. Indeed, Umdoni is now run like aspaza shop- it has gone to the dogs, so tospeak. It fails to fill potholes and repair roads and

sidewalks. What about its failure to implementby-laws? Roads not only in Umzinto needattention, but also in Park Rynie, Scottburghand in Pennington, all ratepaying areas. I was really shocked to see the road leadingto Ghandinagar Township, as well as the roadin Park Rynie. One road is simply impassable.I wonder how motorists drive on this road? Itis really pathetic. I think the Umdoni council is nutty. There is

no council that I know of that ever functionedwithout a municipal manager. Umzinto makeshistory, but council fails to follow procedure.This is incompetence on the part of the coun-cil that does not know what it is doing. TheANC councillors are all novices but they won’tlearn. Mayor Thabani Dube, where does ourmoney go? You and your ANC councillors arefailing to provide service delivery. Don’t youthink, you and your whole band of comradesshould resign as failures? You have no ideahow to run Umdoni and you mess around withratepayers’ money, taken from Umdoniratepayers and spent in the rural areas wherethey don’t pay rates. It is time Umdoni was placed under KZN

Administration and it can be proved. Why? Allthe signs of failure are there. This grand politi-cal design of the ANC to cluster various localauthorities under one local authority is a defi-nite failure. The ANC must come to its sensesby reverting the system to the days whenUmzinto, Scottburgh, Park Rynie andPennington had their own local authorities andeverything functioned smoothly. The ANCmust admit to the fact that the present munici-pal system has failed. Practically every munic-ipality has a problem. Either there is no ser-vice delivery, or there is stealing, fraud andcorruption when millions of rand are unac-counted for, and there is no end to solving theproblems because the wrong people are atthe helm. Just the other day, an ANC com-rade councillor died and the Umdoni ANCmajority council paid for her funeral. It isalleged that it cost more than R165, 000. Thisis ratepayers’ money and was not spent sen-sibly. I wouldn’t be surprised if the figure wereinflated and someone had pocketed part ofthe money. An ordinary funeral cannot costsuch a high figure. The deceased councillorhas family members who should have takencare of the funeral expenses. Can you imag-ine how generous the ANC comrade council-lors are, paying for a funeral at the ratepayers’expense? In other words, if there are moredeaths, the ANC council will simply pay for thefunerals. This is not its function. The council’sfunction is to provide service delivery. There isno money for service delivery, but there ismoney for a funeral. What a wonderful soulyou are Mayor Dube. Why did you and thecomrades not pay for the funeral out of thesalaries that you earn? From what I see, theANC majority council is bankrupt in every way,morally and financially. It is Christmas timeand I think that the ANC comrade councillorsmust be presented with a certificate of com-mendation for their dedicated, shameless andselfless failure to provide service. Each coun-cillor should be provided with a trophy, a cer-tificate and a packet of potato crisps. This is what they deserve. Come join me on a tour of Umdoni, particular-ly Umzinto, and I will show you what you havedone to the town. It is shameful. Thank youANC comrade councillors for turning Umzintointo garbage, you have done well. The ANC councillors have not improved livingstandards in the rural areas, so it does notbother them not to improve the quality of stan-dards in Umzinto.Try explaining this to a tourist from over-

seas, and he would be very puzzled, in fact,he would find it unbelievable, but why not?South Africa is part of Africa and anythinggoes.

JACK MOODLEY, founder of Moodley’sSpar in Craigieburn, passed away on TuesdayDecember 12, after a short illness. The late MrMoodley was frequently cited as an example tothe younger generation of a self-made manwhose success came through hard work anddetermination, having started from humblebeginnings. Who would have thought that theowner of a business empire was once a petrolattendant (bowser boy) in the old days? Priorto opening the Spar, Moodley owned a butch-ery and was also a mobile vendor of groceriesproviding a door-to-door service, a conveniencewhich residents appreciated. Mr Moodley wasa successful bidder when the commercial site inLotus Road, was auctioned by the Municipality(DSB). He built his first Spar franchise shop onthis site. Business success necessitated anexpansion, but he was constrained by lack ofspace. He then ventured into construction of themassive building at Calendula Avenue which isthe current Spar. With failing health he took aback seat and passed on the running of the busi-ness to his son, Vino. His funeral service took place at the Orissa Hallon Thursday, December 14, and the cremationservice took place at the Clare EstateCrematorium. Mr Moodley was a regular spon-sor of meals at the Craigieburn Senior CitizensClub. He recently celebrated his birthday withclub members. He leaves his wife, a son, twodaughters, grandchildren, and a host of rela-tives and friends.

Moodley’s Spar founderpasses on

The late Mr Jack Moodley.

In tears we saw you sinking, Wewatched you fade away. You faced yourtask with courage, your spirit did notbend. And still you kept on fighting untilthe very end. God saw you getting tired,when a cure was not to be, so he put hisarms around you, and whispered,“Come to Me”, So when we saw yousleeping, so peaceful and free frompain. We could not wish you back tosuffer that again.

Always remembered and forevermissed by your Family & friends

HHIISS NNAAMMEE Shall Be Called “Prince of Peace”(Isaiah 9 verse 9)Isaiah’s Prophecy Gives 5 Names to Christ.A. WWoonnddeerrffuull - He is the awesome one, the Godin flesh, the miracle worker.B. CCoouunnsseelllloorr – He advises us on all things. C. MMiigghhttyy GGoodd - He is the divine one, very Godof God.D. EEvveerrllaassttiinngg FFaatthheerr – He is the provider, theprotector and the disciplinarian of His children.Everything a good father is, He is.E. PPrriinnccee ooff PPeeaaccee – He gives His divine peace tothose who trust Him.

11.. PPrroommiissee ooff PPeeaacceeOur world has known so little real peace. Isaiahspoke this prophecy 2 800 years ago. His nationwas threatened with destruction. War, defeatand slavery were on the horizon. His nation wassuffering bondage in Babylon, and yet Isaiahheld out to the people a magnificent hope. Hesaid in Isaiah 9 verse 2, “The people that walkedin darkness have seen a great light. They thatdwell in the shadow of death, upon them hathlight shined.”

WWhheerree iiss tthhee lliigghhtt??“For unto us a child is born, unto us a Son isgiven and his name shall be called wonderfulCounsellor, Mighty God, and Everlasting Father.And, the Prince of Peace.” Isaiah 9 verse 6.The Hebrew word for peace is “shalom”. Therewas no peace and finally, at the first Christmas,“peace came”.

22.. TThhee PPrroommiisseeThe shepherds watched their flocks. Being a

wintry night, they built a fire in the crevice ofthe rocks and huddled together to escape thecold. They never expected that the Prince ofPeace would come.Because they were shepherds they were cere-monially unclean. They were not allowed insidethe temple. They were the nobodies of the day.They were forgotten by men but not forgottenby God. Sometimes we may feel like the shep-herds, outcasts from the world, alone, friendlessand lost. It was true of the shepherds inBethlehem’s field.

33.. TThhee AAnnggeellss’’ SSoonnggSuddenly the darkness became midday. TheAngel of the Lord appeared and said, “Don’t beafraid, I bring good news for you. Today yourSaviour was born in David’s town, and He isChrist the Lord. You will find the babe wrappedin swaddling clothes lying in a manger.” All theangels were praising God saying, “Praise God inheaven and on earth let there be peace, to thepeople that please God.” (Luke 2 verses 9-14)Then suddenly the light was gone. All the wayto the (manger) the shepherds must haverepeated the words of the angels, “Glory to Godand peace on earth.”

44.. WWhhaatt IIss TThhee PPeeaaccee TThhaatt JJeessuuss CCaammee TToo GGiivvee??

AA)) PPeeaaccee wwiitthh GGoodd..Sin separates. It puts a barrier between man andGod. This partition destroys peace. The angelssaid, “Call His name Jesus, for His people fromtheir sins.”Do you have this peace with God in the forgive-ness of your sins?

His Name Shall Be Called “Prince of Peace” Seasons Greetings

BB)) HHooww CCaann II FFiinndd TThhiiss PPeeaaccee??It does not come from the world or from world-ly amusements. Jesus said, “My peace I giveunto you not as the world gives.”Apostle Paul wrote to the Ephesians, “For He isour peace.” Ephesians 2 verse 14. The peace of

God is God. This is the real meaning of theangels’ song. Peace on earth means that theChristmas God is with us.Grace and peace be yours this Christmas period.

TTOODDAAYY,, CCHHRRIISSTTMMAASS is a time of the yearwhere families come together to celebrateand exchange gifts. But the true reason forChristmas is much different. It is the celebra-tion of the birth of Jesus Christ, the Saviourof the world, and the Perfect Gift to thisworld.

It all started 2,000 years ago when anengaged couple was in a tough situation. Thewoman, Mary, had just found out she waspregnant. Her fiancé, Joseph, was shockedand embarrassed, because they had neverbeen together, and was planning to separatequietly from Mary to save her reputation.(Matthew 1:19)

That’s when God stepped in. He sent an angelto Joseph with a message. God had givenMary a baby all by Himself! (Matthew 1:20)She was carrying the Son of God, who was tobe named Emmanuel (which means ‘Godwith us’). After Mary and Joseph travelled totheir hometown of Bethlehem and couldn’tfind a place to stay, Jesus was born in a stable- in a manger surrounded by animals (Luke2:4-7). From there, He grew up with a mis-sion.

That mission was to save the world from itssin. Jesus is the Son of God. He lived a sinlesslife and then died on the cross to pay thepenalty for our sins. "God demonstrates Hisown love for us in that while we were yetsinners Christ died for us."

Jesus rose from the dead and now He lives inheaven with God His Father. He offers us thegift of eternal life -- of living forever withHim in heaven.

That is why: "Jesus is the reason for thisSeason"

Christmas: "From a Cry in a Stable to a Cry onthe cross, so we can have eternal life ..."

"Let's not make too big of the "ChristmasTree", but rather the "Tree of Life", The LordJesus Christ"

"Let's not make too big of Santa, & "His Gift",but rather The "Gift of Life", only given byour Lord Jesus Christ.""There was "No Room in the Inn... however,you can make room to let HIM in..."

There is a saying that goes something likethis, “The fish rots from the headdown,” meaning that poor leadership is

the root cause of an organization’s failure anddemise. This is true whether that organizationis a country, a company, or a sales force.Connie Mulder, the Freedom Plus leader,recently retired from Parliament, and in hisfarewell address indicated that he had learntmany things as a member of parliament. One of the things he mentioned was that oneshould never rejoice when a member of theopposition leaves parliament, because hisreplacement may be even worse! The ANC National Conference was held in

Gauteng this weekend and at this conferencedelegates were to vote for the next ANCleader, who will automatically become thenext president of South Africa. I hopeMulder’s comments don’t come back to hauntus! Reports on the radio station, RadioSonder Grense, reported on Monday, 11December, that Luthuli House would pick upthe tab for the transport and accommodationof about 5000 delegates to the conference.Furthermore, it was learned from some dele-gates that they were being offered “pocketmoney” by an unnamed or unknown source.This pocket money varied from R20 000 to

R100 000, with the occasional recipient of hisor her pocket money, also receiving a laptop. The pocket money initially came in the formof a deposit, and should the preferred candi-date (for the sponsor) win the race as leader ofthe ANC, the balance of the pocket moneywill be paid out. How many delegates stand to benefit from

this blatant bribery? In 2012 4,500 delegatesattended the previous conference inBloemfontein and one wonders how manywill benefit from this pocket money bonanzain 2017. And we all thought that democracyexisted in this country! The thought crossesone’s mind whether the sponsor will have theaudacity to claim the pocket money paymentsas a deduction when he submits his annualreturn to SARS. The first issue of the Rising Sun in 2018, willhopefully carry a From My Saddle reportfrom Scotland. I hope to include interesting snippets of ourstay in the Land of the Brave. One must beexceedingly brave not only to stay there, buteven to go there on vacation, especially inwinter! Until then, I wish all readers a won-derful, relaxing and safe festive season andthe fervent hope that 2018 brings a change inthe direction in which South Africa is heading.
