The hall at Kloof Senior Primary School was filled with clapping, whooping and beaming learners and staff as they were told their glass recycling programme was unmatched again. It won both the provincial and national leg of the Glass Recycling Company's annual competition. The school was awarded a R50 000 prize in recognition of the 61 301kgs of

glass bottles and jars collected in 2016. "A big thank you to the past and present learners and parents of Kloof Senior Primary School, the Kloof community who continue to drop off goods and Stokers and Makaranga for their ongoing support. This is not about the money but about the legacy we leave behind," said the school's principal, Bernice Love.

HILLCREST resident Bryan Lep-pan will have to go in for surgery after he was allegedly brutally as-saulted by a DJ at a local pub just after midnight on Sunday.

Leppan said he and his friend, Charles van Heerden, arrived at the popular Hillcrest pub just after 11.30pm on Saturday.

He was talking to his friends at the bar when he was punched on the right-hand side of his face. As he fell, he said a man's knee connected with the right side of his face, dealing a second blow.

"Bystanders had to re-strain the guy. This was such a shock, There was no provocation at all and I had no idea who he was or why he even hit me. I thought it was mistaken iden-tity and thought he must have had an issue with someone else, as I had just arrived at the venue," said the

33-year-old Leppan."There was no help from man-

agement, no bouncers, no offer to phone paramedics, not one of the staff called the police or the secu-rity company. Everyone just stood

back," he said.The DJ, who was

alleged to have at-tacked the patron, went back to his booth and packed up his equipment.

Van Heerden went to get toilet paper from the bathroom to help clean up the blood. He argued with the staff to contact the police and call the paramed-ics.

"They did not take out a fi rst aid kit to try and help. There was no interaction with the management and they were getting annoyed with me as I was trying to fi nd out what was happening. They called an ambulance but no one ar-

rived so I called Meditech," said van Heerden.

According to Leppan, Blue Se-curity and the SAPS were only contacted after the DJ left the pub.

Leppan was treated at the bar area by a paramedic and was giv-en morphine in the ambulance en route to Hillcrest Private Hospital.

Doctors suspected he had a bro-ken jaw, nose and cheekbone. They were also concerned with the sig-nifi cant damage to his eye and was given an antibiotic to treat it as well as to prevent infection.

On Tuesday morning doctors confi rmed he had a broken cheek-bone and a cracked eye socket and would need surgery.

THE DJ, whose name is known to the Highway Mail, has instructed attorney, Charl Claassen of Francois Medalie and Company, to assist him in this matter and elected to remain silent at this stage of the investigation.

THE pub's general manager confi rmed the man who is believed to have attacked one of its the patrons was a DJ.

He noted the DJ's contract had since been terminated and he will no longer work at the venue.

He said the incident is being handled internally and was in the process of set-ting up protocols to ensure something similar does not happen in future.

"We have requested for more cameras to be installed and for our older cameras to be upgraded, we have also added an extra person on duty every Saturday night."

During a meeting with the Highway Mail, the management noted it will, in conjunction with other pubs and eateries in the area, create a database or blacklist for unruly patrons.

"We have been in contact with him (Bryan) on a daily basis. He has re-quested an hour worth of footage from the incident and has opened a case at the Hillcrest SAPS. We do not condone this behaviour as we are trying to make this pub a destination. We will assist in any way possible to make our patrons feel safe," said the manager.

AS the conclusion of the Upper Highway toxic air investigation is in sight, the Department of Envi-

ronmental Affairs (DEA) has warned the public that if the Shongweni Landfi ll's li-cence is suspended or revoked, it will still take a few months to address the odour issue.

Highway Mail's sister newspaper, The Citizen reported on 22 March that the De-partment of Environmental Affairs (DEA) held a press briefi ng in Durban on the same day. According to the report, Mark Gordon, the department’s Deputy Di-rector-General for Chemicals and Waste Management, said a decision concern-ing the licence or closure would be made "within the next few days".

In the article he said: "The reality is that if the site has its licence suspended or if it is shut down, the odour won’t go away. EnviroServ said they will be able to re-mediate things within four to fi ve months. To deal with the odour will not be an over-night thing, it will take a few months."

Gordon added that the department was "in full agreement" with EnviroServ that a drop in pH levels led to the fostering of a sulfur-reducing bacteria, but denied that this had anything to do with changes in regulation, as the company contends.

"EnviroServ should have known this would happen. The pH trend should have given them the signal," said Gordon. He said there were enough early warning safeguards built into regulations to avoid such situations, and the onus was on the company to manage the site within legis-lated parameters.

Gordon said other facilities have been investigated to accept the landfi ll’s waste should it be closed or have its licence sus-pended.

GRANT Walters, the (DEA) director of Enforce-ment for Environmental Impact and Pollution reported at the press briefi ng last Wednesday that CEO of EnviroServ, Dean Thompson, was cited in his personal capacity so there would be some personal consequences. He also said that if there was a guilty verdict, Thompson could face a maximum fi ne of R10 million and/or jail time.

Walters said the decision to prosecute was tak-en only after the DEA commissioned additional studies to be undertaken by EnviroServ after the company’s initial tests did not give "an indica-tion of what was happening".

Last month, the KwaZulu-Natal Directorate of Public Prosecutions (DPP) confi rmed that EnviroServ would be charged with contraven-ing the National Air Quality Act but there's also a possibility that the contravention of eThekwini Metro by-laws, could be added to the charges. The landfi ll is also under administrative inves-tigation.

A decision concerning the licence being re-voked or closure of the landfi ll is expected to be made soon.

THE National Democratic Alliance representatives met with EnviroS-erv delegates, local councillor Gil-lian Noyce, Johni Edwards MP, member of Environmental Affairs and the Highway Mail last week, in the hopes of getting a clearer under-standing of the problems faced by residents and to relay the message back to the respective communities.

Noyce said that EnviroServ took a defensive approach since the in-ception and were not very transpar-ent with the matter leaving the com-munity skeptical.

"I left the meeting feeling that they [EnviroServ] do understand the cause of the odour problem. They have positive and constructive plans to deal with it. However, whether the deep anger in the surrounding

communities will allow them the time required to solve the problem is debatable. It is also questionable whether they should be given such a reprieve since they put commercial concerns ahead of community con-cerns when sharing relevant infor-mation," said Noyce.

The commercial concerns refer to EnviroServ's client base which has been a focal point of the problem as residents have been questioning what type of waste is being accepted and where it is coming from.

Esmé Gombault, group technical director of EnviroServ said that in-formation will be made available to the Upper Highway NPO's air test-ing specialists and the DEA, howev-er, client's names, quantity and type of waste will not be revealed to the

public due to the competitive nature of the business.

The Info-toxicology report is ex-pected to be submitted to the DEA on 10 April.

During the visit, the DA delegates were given an opportunity to expe-rience fi rst-hand the workings of the landfi ll site.

Sandy Kalyan MP said the pres-entation by Enviroserv was quite statistical and scientifi c. However, she said it veered away from the en-vironmental and health issues.

Kalyan asked in particular wheth-er the rights of the community at large to live in a clean and healthy environment superseded the rights of the business rights of Enviroserv.

However, this is a matter for the Constitutional Court.

DESPITE recent reports about criminal charges that have been laid against EnviroServ's Group CEO, Dean Thompson in his personal capacity, the waste management company dispelled these claims.

Thompson said on the contrary, the current criminal charges have been laid are against Envi-roServ as a company and not him. He added that to date, the company has not received any further charges, which relates to the odour problems ex-perienced at the Shongweni Landfi ll since April last year.

"We are currently engaged in an extended six-month plan, tabled with the DEA and the com-munity, which we are confi dent will mitigate the issue. We have and will continue to engage with our legal counsel prior the case being heard on 11 April. We continue to operate a legally-com-pliant site and believe that our track record of being a leading responsible waste management company will be upheld," added Thompson.


TWO weeks ago, Stanley was travelling down a six-lane highway and was on his way to a meeting. He saw a four-week-old kitten run through the traffi c but was convinced it was knocked by a car and was ridden over.

He couldn't be late for the meeting nor could he stop during peak hour fl ow. He looked back but did not see anything.

Despite this, he stopped and looked for it on his way back home a few hours later.

He parked his car along the highway and started looking.

"It was a miraculous thing. There was a lit-tle meow and this little kitten came hobbling to him. Stanley took him home and bathed him and called him Oliver," said Eva.

Stanley is returning to South Africa on Thursday 13 April and the couple are un-able to afford the cost of fl ying Oliver back, which costs about R20 000.

This includes his fl ight, chipping, innocu-lation, neutering, permits and handling.

"We are fi nancially in a bit of trouble and don't want to leave him there, we want to bring him home," said Eva.

It will cost the couple about R20 000 to fly Oliver to South Africa.

out money they could have used to pay off their bond to fl y 29 ani-mals to their home back here in Durban.

"This is how it went. We kept saying that we wouldn't take any more and then you would go back and fi nd another cat and you would bring it back. You can't just leave them there to fend for them-selves," said Eva.

WHEN you climb out of your car you are greeted by a posse of tail wagging, wet-nosed, 'pleased to meet you' rescue dogs.

It only gets better as you walk into the home of Eva and Stan-ley Hibbert for only then do you fully grasp the full extent of the couple's selfl ess desire to help and home animals in need.

Many would argue that you are either a cat person or you are a dog person, but in the Hibbert household there are no boundary lines. The love they have for all living beings can be seen in the colony of different animals they share their space with.

Eva Hibbert said their unof-fi cial cat rescue project started when they went to Riyadh in Sau-di Arabia in 2004 when Stanley was offered a job in IT at a small company.

"The time that I was there was the most disturbing experience with regards to the cruelty to animals. The cats are seen as ver-min and they are exterminated en mass. The kittens are seen running in between cars. They are used as soccer balls. It's best described as a horror set-up for animals," said a saddened Eva.

The couple moved into a com-pound and her heart was quickly won over by a pregnant cat. She said there was no SPCA and she could not just pass on the belov-ed furball on to someone so she looked after the mom until it gave birth. She then cared for the fi ve kittens as well. This was one of her happier stories she shared with the Highway Mail.

Since then, they have forked

She said it was skin and bones. The son bumped the bucket and the cat raised its head and stared at it with its sunken in eyes that were riddled with infection. Stan-ley ran upstairs to get some food while her son, lifted the cat into his arms.

"In the condition it was in, it was still able to purr," said Eva.

Moeks was rushed to a local vet, who told them that they had to give the cat a fi ghting chance. It was put on a drip and housed at the vet for two weeks. Moeks pulled through but was complete-ly blind in both eyes.

"Moeks was locked in one of the hotel rooms and was found a few days later by a cleaner who put it into a bucket and chucked it out with the rest of the trash," said Eva, who described one of the many scenarios cats are found in Saudi Arabia's capital.

It took two months to fi ght off the fungal infection and one of its eyes came right but the other had to be removed. "Moeks is such an affectionate cat," said Eva.

Despite attempts to educate the residents at the compounds on having the cats spayed or neu-tered, the information seemingly fell on deaf ears.

"Exterminators would come every few months and trap them (the cats) in cages, leave them in the sun for a few days and then slit their throats or drop them off in the desert or are fed poisonous meat," said a disgusted Eva.

"One of my cats somehow re-moved his collar and was caught by an exterminator when I was still back home in SA and he was killed," she said about an incident that still haunts her, 10 years later.

"How do you explain that you do it because you want to save animals? We can't stand seeing animals suffer. We have kept them all and we paid for all of their bills ourselves and we bring them back here to have a good life."

A beautiful and fl uffy ginger Persian, Moeks, joined their fam-ily a year ago. Eva said her son and husband were staying in the city as it was more affordable and on their way down to the parking lost they saw a large yellow clean-ing bucket surrounded by large clumps of ginger fur.

The duo looked at each other with worried expressions before they rushed to see what it was and if they could help.

"When they looked inside they found a 'dead' cat. Half of its fur was missing and it wasn't moving.

Job opportunities are a priority for residentsSanelisiwe Tsinde

NEW Germany residents and small business owners are hoping the Go!Durban initiative will contribute to job creation.

This was revealed at a poorly attended public meeting to discuss future planning and consulta-tion for the development of an upgraded New Germany precinct on Thursday. The meeting was one of many hosted by the City in different areas that are affected by these developments to inform residents of the progress and explain the system.

eThekwini Transport Authority deputy head of road systems management, Carlos Esteves, said they are currently working with other trans-port authorities to make this new system work for everyone.

"This project is a series of corridors and the fi rst part of it runs from Pinetown through Josiah Gumede, Qashana and Bevis roads.

"We are also looking to increase housing and employment opportunities in this area where people can live, work and have access to public transport."

Esteves said the new transport system will link areas such as Umhlanga, KwaMashu, Phoe-nix and Newlands West straight to Pinetown.

"People travelling from Clermont, KwaDabe-ka and New Germany to Umhlanga will be able to reach their destination in 35 minutes," he said.

Esteves said during the morning, the buses will be able to accommodate 3 000 people.

"The new system will save time as people will pay before going into the terminal to wait for buses. There will be no standing in queues because people will need to only swipe their cards," he said.

He added that more workshops will be held in the New Germany area where there will be construction in Chelsea Road and Blase Avenue, the library and Telkom sites.

The dates have not yet been fi nalised.

HIGHWAY Mail visited Happy Valley Educentre in Gillitts last Friday to follow up on Baby Happy's legal case regarding her placement in an orphanage.

Baby Happy, as nicknamed by the staff at the school, was found crawling on the pave-ment on 24 February by a motorist driving on Hamilton Crescent in Gillitts.

She was immediately picked up and taken to Happy Valley Educentre.

Since then, Baby Happy has been placed in four different places of safety. It is alleged that the social welfare depart-ment was protesting due to a wage dispute on Thursday, and all the children at the Zakhe Place of Safety in Clermont,

where Baby Happy was last placed, had been moved to oth-er facilities.

The two principals at Happy Valley Educentre, Michelle White and Amber Chipps, as well as teacher, Janine Parker, are pleading to Baby Happy's mother, relatives or anyone who can submit any form of identifi cation to please contact the school urgently.

They have secured a place for her at Clouds of Hope, child's home in Underberg, however, are unable to place her there due to red tape within the social welfare departments and legal issues.

She was found in the Pine-town district and has been placed into a place of safety within this district until a deci-sion is made.

THORA Mansfi eld, director of The Open Door Crisis Centre, claimed they are con-cerned about the increase of crimes against children including rape, child abuse, incest, neglect and abandonment they are experienc-ing.

In particular, the concern is secondary abuse by members of the public and commu-nities who do not know what to do, where to turn to - especially in the middle of the night.

"We urge the public to follow the correct procedure to ensure no time is lost in getting the victim connected with the correct ser-vices.

"Vulnerable and at-risk children are ex-posed, helpless and begin life in a negative way - but there is help out there and it is im-portant to know where to fi nd that help," said Mansfi eld.

She advised the procedure to follow when fi nding an abandoned baby or child.

The South African Police services are the

fi rst port of call because you are in essence going onto a crime scene.

If the baby is deceased you are not per-mitted to touch him/her, otherwise you may comfort the child, but do not wash or change the clothing which may result in loss of evi-dence.

The police will liaise with Child Welfare for the management of the case.

"Stay where you are - the police must come to you. Once the police have arrived they will take the baby to the district surgeon for a medical assessment, and from this point on, Child Welfare will investigate the case and take over management, resulting in a magis-trate's court placing the child in a safe care facility," said Mansfi eld.

NEW Germany business owners and residents told Highway Mail they want this meeting to be held again as they were unaware of it.

New Germany CPF chairman, Tony da Canha, said he also received many questions about this meeting.

"I have been told that this meeting was not ad-vertised through proper channels. Residents said they have many questions that need answers and are calling for another meeting," he said.

Ward 21 councillor, Mfanah Qwabe, who was present at the meeting, also said he was not con-sulted about this meeting.

"I had to read about it in a fl yer. I asked, as a ward councillor, to be consulted so that I can help pass on the message," he said.

Qwabe applauded the work that is being done by the Go!Durban but also raised the issue of providing sustainable jobs to the people.

"We have a diverse community who would also love to be engaged with this project which has not been happening, we are going nowhere slowly," he said.

Some residents also raised issues of safety on the roads once this whole system is working as there are children who walk to schools.

The hall was full of empty chairs as few residents attended the meeting last Thursday.


Bruno will help curb crimePINETOWN resident, Chris Joubert has just acquired what is believed to be the fi rst privately owned narcotics dog in the Dur-ban area, a one-year-old Ger-man Shepherd, Bruno.

"Bruno has been through sev-eral months of specialised train-ing at a recognised facility in Cape Town and can sniff out a variety of illegal substances, al-most without fail," said A-Force Security Director.

He said there is an immediate need for the services of a narcot-ics sniffer dog in places such as

schools, clubs, businesses, fac-tories and any places of work or play where it is not desirable for the purposes of safety and secu-rity for drugs to be on the prem-ises," said Joubert.

The dog will be for hire. "This is something that I have

thought about for years and I have no doubt that once the word gets around, Bruno and I will be busy doing what we do best, helping to curb criminal activities where we can," he said. Chris Joubert can be con-tacted on 082 222 1799.

Negligent parking and driving endangers motoristsFOUR buses illegally parked on Bam-boo Lane recently obstructed the fl ow of traffi c endangering other motorists.

Pinetown resident, Steve Maritz, wrote to the Highway Mail complain-ing about the four buses parked on Bamboo Lane affecting traffi c.

Maritz said one of the buses was parked on the yellow line and so close to the traffi c lights, it made it diffi cult for oncoming cars to drive past.

"Bamboo Lane was reduced to a sin-gle lane at this section, creating huge diffi culty for people exiting Knowels Spar.

"It was also extremely dangerous and could have lead to accidents," he said.

Maritz said the illegal parking of buses should be addressed with the bus company and Metro traffi c police should be on lookout for this reckless behaviour.

"The bus company should receive a fi ne and warning to deter the future transgression and it would be good for a ward councillor to be also be made

aware of this situation," he said.Ward 18 councillor, Melanie Braute-

seth was made aware of this issue but had not heard of any previous com-plaints regarding Bamboo Lane but agreed the parked buses could cause accidents.

Brauteseth also highlighted another problem in nearby roads.

"I have received reports of motorists making illegal U-turns especially dur-ing the morning and afternoon peak-hour school drop-off times causing traffi c jams, endangering pedestrians and other motorists in School Road and Church Lane.

Brauteseth said she is discussing the problem with eThekwini Transport Au-thority (ETA) and the school to fi nd a solution.

"I personally have had issues on that road, where motorists disregard the stop sign, and the fact that the road is a two-way one but becomes a one-way lane before you reach the school, is a con-tributing factor," she added.

IT has often been said, how a society treats its most vulnerable – whether children, the infi rm or the elderly – is always the measure of its humanity.

In our country, close to a hundred people have died as a result of being moved from the Life Esidimeni hospital to various NGOs, the Health Ombuds-man Professor Malegapuru Makgoba has found.

Makgoba released his report into the patients' deaths and said the number could be greater because more people were coming forward with information. The report also found that all of the NGOs, where patients were transferred, were all operating illegally.

In our city, an abandoned newborn baby was found at the intersection of Palmiet and Spencer Road in Clare Es-tate recently, while police authorities and emergency services were searching for the abducted one-month-old baby

who was taken with

a hijacked vehicle.In our city, the

Zakhe Place of Safe-ty in Clermont, which

homes babies in crises, had to move the babies to

other facilities, not manned by social workers, due to a social welfare depart-ment protest. In our community, Baby Happy, as nicknamed by the staff at the school, was found crawling on the pavement on 24 February by a motorist driving on Hamilton Crescent in Gil-litts. She was immediately picked up and taken the Happy Valley Educentre and then into the welfare system.

But this is different.She was found by a caring person and

taken to a centre where people looked

after her because they cared.The newspaper cared and published

her story and judging by Facebook comments, the readers also cared.

We have embraced Baby Happy and we are emotionally invested in her wel-fare. She is "our" baby and we care what happens to her.

And, as a matter of fact, we care about what happens to the other babies and children, and in light of the men-tal patients' deaths, we care with more passion and a touch of hysteria as these babies are the most vulnerable.

It is our instinct, privilege and our duty to care for the vulnerable.

So we don't understand how people, whose job it is to look after the vulner-able, can simply down tools without a backward glance. And we certainly don't understand the lack of account-ability and responsibility.

When children cease to be precious, it is a sad testament to the state of our nation.

Drugged man breaks into Westville homeAN armed response offi cer arrested an alleged drug addict who broke into a Westville home in the early hours of Monday morning.

Blue Security operations manager, Brian Jackson, said the offi cer responded to a property in Thames Road after receiving information that a suspect was on site.

“The suspect smashed a glass lounge door to gain entry into the property. He then started smashing bottles of alcohol and sustained lac-erations to his arms and legs. Our offi cer found him in the lounge under a coffee table,” Jackson said.

“A Netcare 911 paramedic attended the scene of the crime and ascertained that the suspect was under the infl uence of drugs,” he said.

Jackson said the suspect had earlier crashed his vehicle into a tree in Thames Road. Westville SAPS took the suspect into custody.

“The suspect’s family was contacted to re-move the vehicle and go to the police station,” he said.

In a separate incident in Sylvania Road, a housebreaker forced open a lounge window and burglar bars to gain entry into a house. It is un-clear at this stage what was stolen.

Westville SAPS attended the scene of the crime.

METRO Police and SAPS came out in their numbers to divide the two groups that were protesting in Clermont on Saturday.

A group of residents from Ward 92 marched from Sugar Ray Xulu Sta-dium to Sizakala Centre calling for the removal of an ANC councillor, Jabu Dlamini.

Ward 92 includes Clermont, Indun-duma, Fennin and Extension, KwaDa-beka A and Westville North.

One of the residents who was march-ing against the councillor, Thamsanqa Masango, said as voters, they were very disappointed by the disrespect

they have received since the local elec-tions.

"Dlamini was not the people's choice. We were very shocked when we heard that she was going to be the ANC representative in the ward," he said.

He said there are many issues which they have raised by writing letters to the municipality, but they have not re-ceived any response.

"Last year, what was supposed to have been a happy day for the elderly turned out to be a disaster as the gogos were given food long past the expiry date.

Masango said if they speak to Dlamini, she answers in a disrespectful manner and tells them to go and take

it up with the Speaker, William Lekgoa Mapena.

In the residents' memorandum, they said the councillor is never at her offi ce and she has not called one meeting.

One of the senior leaders in Ward 92, Ephie Mabaso, denied all the claims that were made against the councillor saying the people marching against Dlamini had their own hidden agendas.

"They are making up stories which is why when we heard about this march today, we decided to come here and defend our councillor. Dlamini is our councillor, deployed by the ANC and was chosen by the majority of people in this ward," she said.

Regarding the gogos Christmas par-

ty, Mabaso said Dlamini had no control over the food parcels as the municipal-ity sends out the parcels.

"I do not understand why they are blaming Dlamini. We have also been going around the communities in Ward 92 with Dlamini, we do not know why they said she has not called any com-munity meeting.

She said the people who were marching were being used by others who want to further their own agendas and needs.

"We will not cross hands and watch them tarnish our councillor's name," added Mabaso.

Co-operative Governance and Tradi-tional Affairs (COGTA) deputy direc-

tor, Sandile Phakathi, said they will read through the residents' complaints and send them to MEC Nomusa Dube's offi ces.

"As I have heard some of the com-plaints, I believe that this matter should be handled by the Speaker's offi ce as it involves the councillor. On the 14th day, we will return with answers from Dube's offi ce."

He urged people to welcome the an-swers and the facts that will be repre-sented to them.

"The mistake that people make is to ignore the facts if they are not what they want to hear. Our aim as COGTA is to work with the people and the mu-nicipality.

THE Highway Mail asked Dlamini about the al-legations.

"The issue with the food parcels was some-thing out of my control. I did not buy that food," she said.

"The municipality gives out a tender and the supplier drops off the parcels. I did not even open them as they were delivered late and in other wards, gogos returned empty-handed," she said.

Dlamini said she does not know who they are referring to about being disrespectful towards people.

"Whoever said that does not know me. I am always smiling and I even work with the people who were against my appointment, I do not hold grudges.

"It is true that I have not held a meeting with the whole ward but I have been through all the areas.

"My ward is very diverse and they all have different problems. I know my ward very well as I have been a member of the ward committee. I know what each area needs," she said.

She added that the only time she is not in the offi ce is when she is attending council meetings or training sessions.

Hijacking cases increase in isolated areas, warn SAPSPOLICE have issued a warning to motorists about the dangers of parking their vehicles in isolated areas while chatting to their friend or partners.

Pinetown SAPS communications offi cer, Capt Bongumusa Manqele, said Pinetown po-lice have attended incidents where hijackings have taken place while drivers are chatting to their partners in isolated areas at night.

"We appeal to motorists to park in locations that are safe and not obscured by bushes or buildings where criminals might lurk. Drivers are urged to be vigilant at all times and avoid isolated places at night. Any suspicious-look-ing people or vehicles can be reported to the police so that they can be searched," he said.

Manqele said that they do not have any spe-cifi c areas which have been identifi ed as hot-spots.

"The hijackings have been taking place around Pinetown and we want to warn motor-ists so that they do not become victims of such crimes," he said.

Legal Aid SA reminds people of their rightsTO increase awareness and access to the Le-gal Aid South Africa service, staff from the organisation took to the streets in Pinetown to celebrate Human Rights month.

The organisation will participate in a num-ber of community outreach programmes to educate people about the Constitution and their rights.

Bongani Mahlangu, KZN Regional com-munication practitioner said one of their man-dates as an organisation is to ensure that they protect human rights.

"We will be intensifying our efforts to protect and affi rm the rights of the indigent through quality legal aid service throughout this month and beyond," said Mahlangu.

The organisation set up an advice desk at the Pinetown taxi rank where they advised people on their rights and what role is played by Legal Aid in protecting those rights.

People requiring free legal services are welcome to visit their offi ces, no 1 Church Lane in Pinetown or call 031 719 2700 or the toll-free advice line 0800 110 110.

A 34-YEAR-old woman was hijacked on Wiltshire Road, just outside Pinetown on Wednesday, 22 March.

Deshree Pillay was driving to work in her white Toyota Corolla. Her car was station-ary as she waited for the traffi c to start fl owing again. She said she noticed two pedestrians but didn't think much of it. A minute later, they approached her vehicle, one on either side of her car. Unfortunately her window was slightly ajar.

"One of the suspects, a skinny man, pointed a gun to my head and asked me to get out the vehicle while the other heavier-sized man tried to open the passenger door. I tried to take my handbag but they didn't allow me to. They kept yelling at me to get out of the car," said Deshree.

Luckily, the motorist behind her vehicle, Rishen Ramper-sadh, witnessed the incident and started yelling and hoot-ing. But the men just drove off.

Rishen alerted the authori-ties and then took Deshree to the Mariannhill SAPS to report the incident.

During that time, news of the incident went viral on so-cial media and neighbourhood watches began a frantic search as they presumed the victim

was still in the vehicle when it was hijacked.

Andreas Mathios, communi-ty media liaison for Blue Secu-rity, said he picked up the cir-culation news on the networks and responded immediately. He eventually located her at the police station and stayed with Deshree until the nec-essary paperwork was com-pleted. He said she was pretty shaken up by the incident.

"My car, bag with all my personal belongings such as my ID Book, bank cards and money and driver's licence

have been stolen. It all hap-pened so fast. I just want other motorists to be wary of this modus operandi," said De-shree.

She urged all victims of crime to do the right thing and report all crime incidents to the police. "Without reporting these crimes, the police are un-able to assist," said Deshree.

She also thanked Rishen for going out of his way to trans-port her to the police station and Andreas Mathios of Blue Security for his assistance - "he never left my side," she added.

Know your alien invasive plant:

THIS week, Hillcrest Conservancy takes a look at the Spear thistle as part of its series of articles on alien invasive plants to help the community to identify and eradicate them from their gardens.

The Spear thistle's scientifi c name is Cirsium vulgare (Asteraceae) but it is also known as the Scotch thistle, dag-gapit, speerdissel and Skotse dissel in Afrikaans; hlaba in Sesotho and ntsoa-ntsane in Setswana.

Description: It has spiny, herbaceous biennial

which forms a large, fl at rosette of leaves and a deep tap root in the fi rst year and numerous branched stems up to 1,5m high in the second year. The stems have spiny wings and dark green leaves with stiff hairs above and white woolly beneath. Pink to mauve thistle-like fl owers surrounded by spiny bracts appear from September to April.

Where does the species come from?

A species that was introduced from Europe, Asia and North Africa.

What is its invasive status in South Africa?

Category 1b may not be kept on your property.

Where is it a problem:It is common throughout the East-

ern Cape, KwaZulu-Natal, Gauteng, Mpumalanga, Limpopo and North West Provinces.

Why is it a problem: This plant invades grassland, road-

sides, vlei and dam margins and river banks in cool, high rainfall areas. Where dense infestations occur it will reduce the carrying capacity of the veld and can cause injury to man and animals from the prickly spines.

Does the plant have any uses?

Believed to have been introduced as an ornamental garden plant or by acci-dent in fodder for cattle and or horses.

Put your best foot forward for charitiesTHIS year's National Tekkie Tax Day will be celebrated on Friday, 26 May. The cam-paign which has been part of the South Af-rican calendar for the last four years, gives people the opportunity to show with their feet where their heart lies.

The campaign started in 2013 when a few of South Africa’s biggest and most account-able welfare organisations joined forces.

There are 12 national benefi ciaries and they represent more than 1 000 local non-profi t organisations.

The stickers cost R10 each and Tekkie Tag shoelaces are available from all Clicks, Toys R Us and Babies R us stores for R35. There are also more than 250 participating non-profi t organisations selling these items and together they aim to convince every South African to be part of the fun.

Orders can also be placed online via the Tekkie Tax website www.tekkietax.co.za.

I HAVE lived at Hilldene Gardens for about 52 years and in that time all that has been done is a patchwork of repairs.

I recently saw a small municipal vehicle, marked Water and Roads, parked outside Hilldene Gardens and the driver appeared to be mak-ing notes.

Hooray, I thought, action at last! I was mistaken. On 22 March, what appeared

to be a four-ton municipal truck, marked 'Roads Department', parked at the bottom of Hilldene Road and three workers were relaxing under a shady tree.

When I enquired if they were go-ing to resurface the road as there was such a large truck I was told they were going to fi x potholes.

This morning when I was driving up Hilldene Road I counted three potholes that had been fi lled, prob-

ably each measuring 300mm in di-ameter and 30mm to 40mm deep, plus a few others of varying sizes in other parts of the road.

I would hate to think of the cost to do this job if one takes into account the three salaries, the fuel cost of the truck and the material that was used.

I could have done the same job if I had purchased a bag of cold tar from the hardware shop, probably costing between R50 to R60 and R40 for my labour.

eThekwini wants to increase our rates substantially, but what for? We don't get the services we are entitled to.

Somebody in charge needs a wake-up call and needs to start giv-ing the ratepayers the service they are entitled to.

One can only hope.Clive ChannellHillcrest

Government bodies are incompetentI REFER to Rick Crouch's letter correcting me for stating that ward 10 is adjacent top Ward 8, and I wish to point out that eThekwini Website has a map entitled "eThek-wini Ward Map - New Boundaries", which I now know is in fact the old boundaries.

Furthermore, I looked at the De-marcation Board's site to get the new maps, and found that even their overall map, displayed as current, has not been updated with the new

boundaries; Mr Crouch acknowl-edged to me that he knew about that.

Since South Africa is supposed to be a Constitutional Democracy, with a universal franchise based on wards and constituencies, how can we have any faith in the fairness and integrity of the administration of the democratic dispensation?Derek BirdHillcrestED: This correspondence is now closed.

Thank you for all the never-ending supportI HAVE been a counsellor at Kloof High School for more than 15 years now.

I recently lost my husband of 50 years of age to Melanoma Cancer – a battle he bravely fought for a year and a half and fi nally succumbed to on 18 February.

I want to publicly thank the prin-cipal and her senior management team for their incredible support, empathy and understanding dur-ing this very diffi cult, prolonged period, friends and colleagues on the staff who have been there for me from the start and the 2016 and 2017 prefect groups, which I run, for their never-ending support.

Kloof High School is a family and it is a family that cares.

I am so proud to be part of this “family”.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.Mrs Yolanda ShiersKloof High School HOD/school counsellor

Here is how you can avoid utility bill issuesI HAVE been sending my electric-ity readings by SMS to 083 700 0819 for several years with great success.

I get an SMS acknowledging re-ceipt of my reading and it is always captured correctly on my bill.

To all those frustrated people the secret is that your reading should be sent through between the 16 and 19 of every month because they run the bills on the 20 of each month and if they don't have your reading before that date you will receive an estimated reading.

Don't send it before the 16th, it will be too early and try and use the same (or as near as) date every month.

I don't read my own water meter but the same dates would apply.

Include your E number and meter number and date with your Electric-ity reading.

Hope this helps. Sue CarmodyWinston Park

THE eThekwini Inner and Outer West Cluster hosted a medal parade ceremony at His Church on Thursday, 23 March.

About 100 recipients were awarded medals for their service which ranged from 10, 20 and 30 years.

Crime intelligence members, Lt/Col Magagu-la, Lt/Col Linda L Viljoen and Capt Gert van Straaten from Pinetown SAPS were the only three members who were awarded medals for 30 years service in the SAPS.

Inner and Outer West cluster commander, Major General Sayer, said the people awarded were chosen based on their uninterrupted ser-vice in the SAPS.

"We were also looking at their character and

we chose people who are exemplary members with good character."

Inner and Outer West Cluster Commander chairman, Charlton Sibaca, received a special award for his service to the community.

"Sibaca has been involved with the CPFs since they started. He has worked tirelessly and his work at the Hammarsdale CPF and the clus-ter as a whole is commendable. We would also like to thank his wife, Sibongile who has been a silent partner. I am sure without her, Sibaca would not have given his best and time to the community work," said Sayer.

Pinetown SAPS admin clerk, Grant Strydom was also recognised for his national award he received recently.

Strong faith binds couple’s loveSanelisiwe Tsinde

THE strong bond formed by Cheri and Tony Duffy when they began their mar-ried life on their own overseas is what has kept them inseparable.

The Waterfall residents will celebrate their 50th anniversary today, Wednes-day, 29 March.

The two lovebirds met in Colenso Hotel near Ladysmith where Cheri lived with her parents, the owners of the hotel.

"I was also staying in the hotel and working at the Post Offi ce when I met Cheri. We were part of a group of friends and used to go out and then we found each other and fell in love," said Tony.

Cheri said it was not easy being with Tony as her parents used to say if Prince Charles is not available then no one was good enough for her.

The two eloped to London where they got married and spent three years before returning to South Africa.

Cheri and Tony Duffy hold a photo from their wedding day, as they celebrate their 50th anniversary.

IT'S not often that a couple celebrates 60 years of marriage, which is why the 23 March was such a special day for Kloof couple, Ashley and Jean Harrison.

The two met in junior primary school. They lived in the same neighbour-

hood in Pietermaritzburg and grew up playing together.

Ashley was a good friend of Jean's brothers and even though Jean did not quite know it then, Ashley knew that Jean was the only girl for him.

They fi rst dated when she was 16 and eventually tied the knot when Jean was 21 and Ashley was 24.

They married at the Methodist Church in Boshoff Street in Pietermar-itzburg on 23 March 1957.

In 1963, Ashley began a new job at African Explosives and Chemical In-dustries and they had to move to Johan-nesburg for six years. Thereafter, they returned to Durban and lived in Cowies Hill for 20 years and then in Kloof for the past 24 years.

Jean worked as a secretary in Johan-nesburg for various companies and then at DPI Plastics in Durban for 29 years before retiring.

During their earlier years of marriage, the couple were blessed with three daughters - Sandra, Wendy and Coral.

They said the secret to a long lasting marriage is following this motto, "No-body is perfect".

"With this motto, we learnt to make allowances in our marriage and settle things straight away," said Ashley.

Jean agreed and said they also re-spected each other and never forgot their manners, especially to say please and thank you.

Ashley is still working at age 84, in the supply to construction industry at Joat.

He enjoyed soccer in his younger days, tennis at league level and running for 30 years. He completed fi ve Com-rades Marathons and played golf for 23 years. He traded his golf clubs for bowls and now is an active member at the Gil-litts Bowling Club.

Jean is a musical person and loves playing her keyboard.

Jean and Ashley Harrison celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary on 23 March.

Highway Mail chatted to the couple to find out about their marriage.

The Highway Mail asked the couple about their secret to

health and fitness:Cheri: I have always loved exercises, I

use to do a lot walking and running.Tony: Whenever I feel like exercising,

I lay down until that feeling goes away.

What attracted you to each other:

Cheri: He made me laugh.Tony: She was far too good for me, she

was a teacher, I guess I was smitten.

What has contributed to your successful marriage?

Cheri: Mental compatibility. We have the same sense of humour, we read a lot

and our faith is very strong.Tony: Love obviously but most impor-

tantly, we respect each other. We love be-ing together and she cooks well.

What advice do you have for young couples?

Cheri: Marriage is work. Couples must know that their partner also has his/her opinion. Couples should be tolerant towards each other and communicate.

Tony: They should talk out their argu-ments and never go to bed angry. Tony added that there is a saying in Afrikaans that for marriage to work, people should get through seven sacks of salt.

"I can say that our marriage has been seven sacks of sugar."

What is your most memorable moment?Ashley: When my first

daughter was born. I was overwhelmed at becoming a father for the first time.

Jean: When Ashley took me to celebrate my 80th birthday with my twin brother who lives in New Zealand.

What advice would your give to younger couples?

"There is no issue too big to settle. Marriage is a case of a contract, don't look for the fine print. Always give and take and never go to bed upset, work things out," said Ashley.

The couple celebrated their diamond anniversary at a party with close friends and relatives on Saturday.

Four out of six members from their bridal retinue were present at their 60th anniversary celebrations.

What quality do you admire in each other?Ashley: I always admired

Jean's friendliness and her caring nature.

Jean: Ashley has always been a caring and sensitive man.

SBS unity day promotes greatnessST Benedict School held its an-nual Unity Day on Friday, 17 March, a day when the everyday demands of school are put aside for a few hours and time is spent getting to know other people in the school a little better.

This year, the theme for the day was, Designed for Great-

ness and focused on the fact that each and every person is a bright, shining star with a spe-cial purpose in life.

The day started and ended with a service in the school's Chapel Garden and the time in between was spent fostering closer relationships.

Each high school class was assigned a primary school class and a number of fun activities were planned, including wa-ter games, treasure hunts, face painting and more.

The day was a huge success and again cemented the family ethos of the school.

Face painting - Nicola Siepman (Grade 12) and Sibusiso Mbatha (Grade 1).

Vaughn Aiston (Grade 7), Ethan Riedlinger (Grade 9) and Khanya Mbele (Grade 7).

Khwezi Ntanda (Grade 11) and Kwandile Mdluli (Grade RR).

Diyashen commended for bravery

Winston Park Primary School’s Tatum Silén is a swim champ.

TATUM Silén, a Grade 7 learner from Winston Park Primary, has been swimming competitively for the past four years.

She is the Winston Park Swim-ming Captain for 2017 and at her school interhouse gala earlier this year, she set two new school records, winning the Victrix Lu-dorum. Tatum, together with the Winston Park swimming team, managed to win the Durban and

Districts 'B' league gala and their ladder team by improving the previous record by two seconds which stood for many years.

Tatum trains with Angela Marl-ton from Aquazone Swim Club, who inspires her to do her best.

She is a dedicated and commit-ted swimmer who has achieved two SA Junior National times which makes her eligible to com-pete at the SA Nationals Gala to be

held at Kings Park swimming pool later this month.

Tatum is hoping to win a medal at this gala in her favourite stroke which is backstroke.

She was also chosen to repre-sent KZN for swimming for the past two years and this year she will be representing KZN at the SA Schools Swimming Champi-onships in Limpopo during the April holidays.

Beth jumps to the national champsKAINON School has chosen Beth Mayer as the SPAR Star of the Month.

Beth is part of the KZN Primary Schools Provincial team and has been selected for the National Championships (athletics) which took place in Potchefstroom from Thursday, 23 to Saturday, 25 March.

Beth will take part in the 1200m race. Kainon School public relations offi cer, Jus-

tina Wasserman, said this is a National Gov-ernment event and children are selected from across the country.

"Well done to Beth for being selected to rep-resent our province," she said.

James excels in tennisTENNIS sensation and Highbury Preparatory School’s Spar Star of the Month is James Edley.

The Grade 7 learner was recently crowned the champion of the pres-tigious U14 boys Dunlop Mini Se-ries which took place from 10 to 12 February.

His twin brother, Alex, was the runner-up.

James has been excelling in the tennis arena for years and fi rst took an interest in tennis when he was just four years old.

He has proudly represented Kwa-Zulu-Natal for tennis on numerous occasions and was selected for the SA U13 school's team last year which toured to the USA in Decem-ber.

His tennis hero is Rafael Nadal and with his continued determina-tion and commitment to tennis we are sure to see further success from this athletic young man!

Pitlochry Primary School’s Diyashen Moodley, (5), was faced with a harrowing task when his grandfather collapsed at the beach last weekend, leaving him and his baby brother alone. Diyashen’s quick thinking and knowledge of his parents’ contact details allowed him to seek help from a stranger, all while taking care of his little brother. The school congratulated him for his bravery and responsibility on the day.

Ashtyn Cason

THOMAS More College's pri-mary school's SPAR Star of the Month is 10-year-old Ashtyn Cason.

She is in Grade 5 and loves to be involved in all facets of her daily school life. Ashtyn is a keen tennis player and a member of the school's tennis team and was given the title of TMC junior girl player last year.

Some of her recent tennis achievements include being placed third in the U12 girls' section of the KZN mini 1 tour-nament at Westridge in Febru-ary. This tournament forms part of the TSA national ranking.

Ashtyn also represented Thomas More College at the re-cent eThekwini district primary school tennis trials and was nominated as the 1st reserve for the U13 girls team.

She is excited to be taking part in the Free State TSA se-ries and TSA junior nationals in Bloemfontein in April. These tournaments also form part of the TSA national ranking.

When not on the tennis court, Ashtyn is playing netball for the U11A side, hockey, soccer and junior waterpolo.

Ashtyn is also enthusiasti-cally involved in the music and cultural side of the school. She plays the piano, and this year is preparing for her Grade 2 level for piano.

She is also a member of the Thomas More junior marimba band and the primary school choir. In addition this talented young girl does well academi-cally.


Victoria leaps to great heights

HILLCREST High School's SPAR star achiever this month is their talented and courageous Grade 9 learner, Victoria Baker.

Victoria is the current KwaZulu-Natal D Grade vaulting champ.

In layman’s terms, vaulting is "gymnastics on horseback".

Gymnastics performing on the ground, or even on static equipment, is diffi cult enough, but vault-ing takes it to another level entirely, where par-ticipants perform on a cantering horse.

Victoria said that growing up, vaulting has given her strength and the confi dence to stand up for herself.

Her "baby" is her horse Aragon, who just wants to eat everything.

Victoria’s advice to other learners is, "Stick to what you love. It will get you somewhere."

"Well done Victoria - you are a true example of Hillcrest High School's theme for 2017, 'If it is to be, it is up to me'," said Nicky Kidgell, media liaison at the school.

Kuhle shoots to scoreFOR three consecutive years, Kuhlekonke Bophe-la, captain, top scorer and rebounder in Kearsney College's 1st basketball team, has been awarded his provincial colours.

He was included in the KZN U18 basketball team announced last week, following his selection last year in the KZN U17 and KZN U18 Clubs (SA B) teams, as well as the KZN U16 and SA U16 teams in 2015.

An incredibly athletic player who has a bright future as a basketball player, Kuhle is an outstand-ing academic and a prefect at Kearsney College.

Earlier this year he was named an All Star at the St Johns U19 tournament in Johannesburg; and was awarded the same title last year at the Enjabluweni Tournament and the KZN Schools February Frenzy tournament. Kuhle plays shoot-ing guard or small forward in the team.

Kloof High learner dominates in rugbyKLOOF High School’s SPAR Star of the Month is Ndumiso Mhlanzi, a mat-ric learner.

For the past two years he has played for the school’s 1st rugby team and was selected for the district U16 rugby team in 2016. He also played for the school’s 1st 7s rugby team and was selected for the KZN U17 7's training squad in 2016.

In addition to his love for rugby, he also enjoys playing waterpolo and is in the school’s 1st team for the sport and he is a member of the school’s swim-ming team.

Max nets SA team spotTHE SPAR Star of the Month for St Mary's DSG in Kloof is Grade 11 learner, Maxine Hannan.

Maxine recently represented South Africa as part of the waterpolo U17B team in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe where SA won all their games. She success-fully scored two goals and was a val-ued team player.

Maxine started playing Waterpolo when she was 10 years old and fi rst made a Waterpolo KZN Team when she was 12 years old, playing for the U13 girls. Maxine is also an integral part of the 1st hockey team at her school and is also a valued member of its swimming squad. She has full col-ours for hockey and waterpolo.

WATERFALL College's SPAR Star of the Month is its head boy for 2017, Thomas Langford.

"Writing the Advanced Pro-gramme Mathematics matric fi nals in my Grade 11 year was my greatest achievement," said a proud Thomas.

He credited his success to his teachers. "Louis Conradie and Keith Decker took me from zero to hero in mathematics."

The head of mathematics at the school, Keith Decker, elabo-rated, "When Thomas joined Waterfall College in his Grade 9 year, he received zero per cent for his fi rst core mathematics test.

"In his Grade 10 year, he asked whether it would be pos-sible for me to teach him Ad-vanced Programme Mathemat-ics and wanted to complete the course in two years, so that he could write the fi nal Grade 12 examination at the end of his Grade 11 year.

"I explained to him that it would require an enormous commitment on his behalf. His success is a remarkable achieve-ment. He has a real interest in the subject and is consistently achieving marks around 90 per

Thomas Langford

cent. He will be writing the South African Mathematics Ol-ympiad this month."

Thomas is an equestrian and also has a passion for dancing, both of which he said helps him remain physically fi t and men-tally focused.

One of his highlights was dancing in Grease, in the Na-

tional Arts Youth Festival at the Elizabeth Sneddon Theatre last year.

As head of the Student Christian Association for 2017, Thomas sees his success as be-ing based on his faith.

"Everything about me re-volves around my faith in God." Asked about his role as head boy, he said, "It’s challenging at times, but defi nitely worth the commitment. The reward is not one of gold and silver, but rather in helping others achieve."

His parents. Michael and Samantha, both said, "We are amazed at how the Lord has shaped Thomas’ life and blessed him so that he, in turn, is a bless-ing to the world. His academic talent and diligent work ethic have produced achievements in dancing, academics, service and leadership."

Thomas is currently consider-ing his options to study archi-tecture, mathematics, physics or chemistry after school, either locally or abroad.

"Waterfall College wishes Thomas success in completing his matric year and for his future career," said the school's mar-keter, Keryn House.

WBHS blown away by Rorke’s performanceWESTVILLE Boys' High School congratulated its Grade 12 learn-er, Rorke Lilford, who travelled to New York with the KZN Youth Wind Band recently.

The band performed at Carn-egie Hall as part of the NY Wind Band Festival from 10 to 16 March.

Rorke was the only learner from the Highway area, other boys were from Northwood, Empangeni High School, Craw-ford La Lucia, and DHS, joined

by girls from Durban schools as well.

"You can be incredibly proud of this young musician as the work he has put in to produce the best possible performance of incredibly challenging music is nothing short of admirable," said Russell Scott, musical director of the KZN Youth Wind Band.

The performance on Tuesday, 14 March at Carnegie Hall earned the band a gold award as well as a standing ovation.

Keagan scores SA All Star positionGRADE 11 learner, Keagan Olivi-er, is Thomas More College’s high school SPAR Star of the Month.

Keagan is a keen sportsman who has played 1st team cricket and hockey since Grade 10.

He is a formidable goalkeeper and has played outdoor hockey for KZN as well as Pro Series indoor hockey.

FOREST View Primary School's SPAR Star of the Month is eight-year-old Boaz Tselon.

The Grade 3 learner was nomi-nated because he plays such a challenging musical instrument: the violin.

Boaz began his music career at the tender age of fi ve.

He went to private violin lessons once a week with Susan McAdam.

At the age of seven, he started studying for his Trinity Initial ex-ams but Susan realised his talent and dedication to his music and she suggested he jump up to Grade 1.

Boaz entered his Grade 1 exam in 2016 and passed confi dently with a distinction.

He entered the eThekwini Ei-steddfod and was the top of his class group and, soon after, was en-tered into the performance awards

held at St Mary’s DSG. There he received a gold plus medal.

Boaz was recently in a local mu-sic shop trying out a larger violin as he has grown out of his old one.

The shop attendant tuned the violin and gave it to Boaz to try. The fi rst piece he played on the in-strument was Cossacks Dance and the shop attendants were very im-pressed that he could play so well for his young age.

When not playing the violin, he can be found on the cricket pitch or in the school's swimming pool with his squad mates.

He is also described as a learner who takes his school work seri-ously.

"Boaz is currently preparing for his Trinity Grade 2 exam in May this year. We wish him well for this," said the school's public rela-tions offi cer, Jean Montile. Boaz Tselon

Double hockey win for Saints team

THE dedicated staff at the Motala Heights Library recently brainstormed a few exciting ways to encourage residents and youth to make use of the library.

"The library staff have, on a number of occasions, encouraged local learners to read. It seems that the youth in this community are faced with extreme poverty and hardship which has led to hopelessness and depression. The librarians have a genuine desire to see the scourge of drugs eradicated and see the youth reading so that their future is brighter," said Marlaine Nair, the Ward 13 and 15 DA PR councillor.

After speaking to the youth concerning their needs, it was discovered that many required assistance with their schoolwork, while others indicated a desire to learn to play an instrument, chess or take part in arts and craft exercises.

Angela Hounsell, one of the librarians, said there was a need for counselling and motivational talks for the youth.

Marlaine said, "The youth will be our future doctors, attorneys and politicians and we must do everything we can to rescue this generation from a life of hopelessness and despair. Without a love for reading and learning, the future looks bleak for any young South African."

To donate a chess set or volunteer your services as a tutor or music and crafts teacher, contact the library on 031 700 2741.

31 March 2017

By Gavin Foster

When an old friend recently revisited Durban from his English homeland I took

him to visit some of the historic battle- elds that attract so many tourists to

our history-rich province. Our weap-on of choice for this adventure? The brand-new Mitsubishi Triton.

The Triton - nee Colt - has steadily fallen behind its leading rivals of late, with the outgoing model having been facelifted and upgraded to death since it arrived as an all new model a decade ago.

For 2017 it’s nally been reborn as a modern pickup that can comfortably hold its own against the best. The ques-tion on everybody’s lips is how the Mit-subishi can compete with the cheaper Fiat Fullback that uses the same plat-form and beat the Triton to the punch by being launched in mid-2016? The answer is that it doesn’t.

There are myriad speci cation and styling differences, and the Fiat versions use the older 2.5-litre turbodiesel rather than the lightweight new aluminium

Mitsubishi Triton

2.4-litre engine. The new Mitsubishi comes only in

double cab guise and buyers can choose between two or four-wheel drive, with six-speed manual or ve-speed auto transmissions. All four models use the same new 2.4-litre four-cylinder turbod-iesel engine, and with 133kW of power at 3,500rpm and 430Nm of torque arriv-ing at 2,500rpm it’s a honey.

Apart from the additional grunt, the new aluminium engine is both smoother and 30kg lighter than its predecessor, which helps with both handling and throttle response as well as fuel con-sumption.

The styling works for me; the bak-kie looks sleeker, and although it has a shorter wheelbase than its predecessor the interior is more spacious, with the rear bench seat offering a decent degree of rake - unusual in a double-cab pickup. On the downside, the bin is shorter than those found in some of the Triton’s ri-vals.

The Triton sent to us for evaluation was the second most affordable in the lineup, the 2.4 Di-D 4x2 auto that retails at R499,900. Mitsubishi has obviously

aimed the Triton at the top end of the market, because the quality of the inte-rior materials is very good and sound-proo ng is excellent, while the suspen-sion feels decidedly un-bakkie-like.

Mitsubishi says that the new model’s stabiliser bars and stiffer front springs work with signi cantly larger rubber body mountings on the ladder frame chassis to improve handling and com-fort. Whatever they did, it works. Elec-tronic comfort and driver aids are also up-to-date with active stability and trac-

tion control, hill-start assist and - as can be expected - ABS with EBD.

The test vehicle was a 4x2 but we ventured forth into some muddy and uneven territory in Northern KZN and it performed as expected - very well. We covered more than 700km on our trip, and the Triton was particularly im-pressive on the 150 or so kilometres of dirt roads we traversed. Smoothness on gravel and on tar, as well as the re ned performance of the new engine were what impressed the most.

I viewed the very conventional old-fashioned ve speed auto gearbox with some suspicion at rst, but the nature of the engine is such that it never found it-self at a loss for cogs. We could cruise effortlessly at speed without having to kick-down a gear to overtake or tackle steep inclines.

One gripe that I had was that, despite the fact that the Triton comes with a USB port and Bluetooth, dual-zone climate control, a multi-function leather steering wheel and cruise control, access to the fuel consumption gures from the trip computer was available only by reach-ing forward and pushing what looks like the reset button in the instrument cluster.

Fuel consumption was pretty good though, especially for a beast of this ilk. We averaged around 9.8 l/100km un-der extremely mixed driving conditions over two days on tar and on dirt.

The Mitsubishi Triton has nally caught up with the pack leaders, and deserves to do well - especially once the single cab and other engine options become available. It comes with a ve-year/90,000km service plan and three-year/100,000km warranty.

Volkswagen South Af-rica has added a new three-cylinder 1.0-li-

tre TSI engine to its Polo range.

The popular Polo is one of South Africa’s most loved hatch-backs and rightfully so. It offers great comfort and build quality, it is reliable and really encapsulates what the brand is all about, a car for the people.

Now Volkswagen has intro-duced an R-Line version of its Polo, for those wanting the GTI show without the GTI go.

With the rapid improvements in turbo technology, manufac-tures seem to be able to squeeze even more power out of small-er engines. Take the 1.0-litre three-cylinder in the Polo; it de-livers 81kW which is identical

to the 1.2 TSI, yet makes 25Nm more for a total of 200Nm.

A seven-speed DSG is the only transmission option for the R-Line and that is ne by us. It’s a quick shifting gearbox which adds convenience. Volk-swagen claims that the Polo, with the aid of BlueMotion technology, will return an aver-age of 4.4-litres/100km.

Unfortunately, we didn’t get close to matching that on the twisty roads of the Eastern Cape, as this car proved way too much fun to drive. We did manage 6.0-litres/100km so a better gure is not entirely out of reach. To be honest, this new 1.0-litre Polo makes the 1.2 TSI redundant.

As for looks, well the R-Line gets a number of exterior tweaks consisting of unique front and rear bumpers, R-Line

grille, wider door sills, rear dif-fuser with integrated chrome exhaust, sporty boot spoiler and 17-inch Serron alloy wheels.

Interior changes are made-up of brushed aluminium inserts, cloth sport seats and a at-bot-tomed R-Line multi-function steering wheel. In addition to the ve-inch Composition Colour infotainment system with Bluetooth and USB, the R-Line can also be speci ed with a larger 5.8- inch Com-position Media setup, climate control, automatic headlights and wipers, daytime running LEDs, front and rear park dis-tance control and a panoramic sunroof.

It’s priced at R290,200 and comes with a three-year/120,000 km warranty and three-year/45,000km service plan as standard.


Easter traf c - have the right attitude

The Automobile Associa-tion (AA) has warned motorists that with the

upcoming Easter school holi-days, (the school terms ends on Friday, 31 March), roads

will again be busier, with thousands of people embark-ing on holiday.

An increase in traf c volumes almost always sees an increase in fatalities on the country's roads, and the AA is urging motorists to be vigilant while driving. More than 1,700 peo-ple died on South African roads over the 2016/2017 December holiday period.

With the Easter weekend from 14 - 17 April, roads during this period may be even more congested as travellers enjoy a long weekend with Friday, 14 April, and Monday, 17 April being public holidays. Monday 17 April may be especially busy as holiday-makers return from

their destinations."It is important that motorists

who will be on the roads during these times are aware that there may be heavier than normal traf c on their route. The most important element of driving during this time is the correct at-titude on the roads.

The long awaited Nissan Na-vara has nally reached our shores. Unfortunately,

it joins a erce battle within the bakkie segment as manufactures like Toyota, Ford, Isuzu and Volk-swagen, as well as newcomers like the Mitsubishi Triton and its Fiat Fullback twin ght for a piece of the South African braai pie.

The Navara de nitely looks like the modern rendition of the previ-ous model with its bold front end featuring the brand’s signature V-shaped chrome grille. Flowing into the creased bonnet line, this detail continues at the rear thanks to a stamped V-motif and extended tail-gate, which Nissan claims helps im-prove fuel economy.

From the side the front overhang is short, helping approach and de-parture angles, while the upsweep of the rear window adds to the icon-ic design of Nissan’s more rugged offerings.

When I rst got into the Navara, I was pleased by the overall look and feel. The designers and engineers have used quality plastics through-out with leather or cloth trim, de-pending on the speci cation. A big plus was space in the rear as well as passenger air vents.

There are however some issues. By far my biggest gripe is the in-fotainment system and display. It is really not the best. Our long term Nissan X-Trail has a better system. For starters, it is far too small, not user friendly and the reverse camera is useless. It also looks and feels like an aftermarket unit.

To redeem themselves of the hor-rible infotainment system, Nissan has given the Navara a gem of an engine. It is a brand new 2.3-litre dCi twin-turbo diesel which com-bines common rail direct injection with a small high pressure turbo and a larger low pressure blower for a

total output of 140kW and 450Nm.Thanks to this newfound power,

the Navara can tow 3.5-tons and the entry level model with 16-inch wheels can load just over a ton. It also weighs 77kg less than the old Navara which, along with aero-dynamic improvements, gives a claimed consumption gure of 6.5-litres/100km. Driven with the utmost care though, I managed 9.2-litres/100km.

This is where things get really good for Nissan. You see, the Na-vara features a coil spring ve-link rear suspension, the rst in the seg-ment. What are the bene ts? In a nutshell, it improves comfort as well as handling, especially on gravel. Add in Nissan’s proprietary four-wheel-drive system which com-bines a transfer case that features a host of electronic aids, and you have a formidable off-road machine.

After spending many, and I do mean many kilometres behind the wheel of the new Nissan Navara, I do think it has arrived guns blazing, and it's about time. It offers what could be the best ride quality in the segment and despite the infotain-ment system, the interior quality is noteworthy.

Is it any good? I think so, and so does Mercedes-Benz and Renault because both have bakkies on the way based on the Navara platform.

The recipient of the 2014 International Van of the Year accolade, the

Ford Transit Connect, has received a new engine and a mild spec revision.

Unlike the SWB 1.0-litre EcoBoost that remains as is, the LWB TDCI swaps the old 1.6-litre oil burner for a smaller 1.5 with power jumping from 85kW to 88kW. Torque is kept at 270Nm with a six-speed manual gearbox again the sole option.

Sporting a payload rating of exactly one-ton and a cargo

volume of 3.6m3, the Tran-sit Connect can now also be speci ed with a load-through hatch and window instead of the standard steel bulkhead, as well as a dual passenger seat as opposed to the previous bench setup.

Standard equipment includes a two-speaker sound system with Bluetooth and USB, air-conditioning, electric windows and steering wheel mounted audio controls, while safety has been sharpened up to now fea-ture Roll Over Mitigation and Emergency Brake Warning.

In addition to items such as Load Adaptive Control, driver's airbags, ABS with EBD and ESP, the optional Ambiente Pack (R8,060) adds a LED load compartment lights, front and rear parking sensors with reverse camera and tyre pres-sure monitoring system. A pas-senger airbag meanwhile is a R1,830 standalone option.

A four-year /120,000km warranty, four-year/60,000km service plan and three-year unlimited km Roadside Assis-tance plan is included in the R323,900 asking price.

Highway bridge clubs’ results

Waterfall College held its annual walkathon on Friday 24 March at the campus, with each lap measuring about1km. The Grade 8-12 students set off at

midday to complete as many laps as possible in the two hours allotted to the event.

Parents helped by providing re-freshments and support, with each

student receiving a stamp at the completion of a lap.

Temperatures were pleasant for the walkathon, which is one of the major fund-raising events of the year for Water-fall College.

Learners had a fun day competing for the most number of laps and points

for their sports house, ei-ther Delport (red) or Decker

(green). This year, the new campus de-

velopments underway for the expan-sion of the school provided a spectacu-lar backdrop to the walkathon route as the students walked past the second sports fi eld under construction and the new Waterfall Preparatory school block overlooking the Valley of 1000 Hills.

WESTVILLE Boys' High School's (WBHS) 1st XV rugby team produced a good win against Northwood School in the rain at the weekend.

As the 1st XV teams ran out onto the fi eld the rain started coming down, which levelled the playing fi elds.

The game started well for WBHS, and from the kick-off, the ball was gathered cleanly, and with very good inter-passing between forwards and backs saw lock Deon Slabbert scoring in the fi rst 30 seconds of the game.

The rest of the game was interrupted with many handling errors in the fi rst half.

Northwood played with the strong wind in the fi rst half and consistent pressure was rewarded with a try, conversion and a penalty kick.

WBHS increased their lead by tries by centre, Brogan Boulle and fullback, Jono Reynecke and

two conversions by Brogan Boulle. At the change WBHS was up 19-10. In the second half with the wind from behind

them WBHS kept the pressure on Northwood by playing the percentage game and keeping them in their own half.

Credit must be given to the Northwood team who defended well.

With the rain still coming down the WBHS converted the pressure into points fi nishing the game with a solid 36-10 win in trying condi-tions.

Tries in the second half were scored by Gus-tav du Randt, Jaryd Lombard and Dylan La-buschagne and a conversion from Dylan La-buschagne.

WBHS also dominated across the board win-ning 15 out of the 17 fi xtures.

Kearsney thumps Clifton 2-0KEARSNEY College took on Clifton College in an evening game under lights on Kears-ney’s Mason Astro in a fantastic atmosphere with strong specta-tor support for the home side at the weekend.

Having come off a disap-pointing draw against North-wood School the previous weekend, the hosts were keen to bounce back.

This was never going to be easy though, as Clifton are a good team.

The fi rst 10 minutes belonged to Clifton as they started strong-ly, with Kearsney losing a lot of ball in the midfi eld.

Kearsney did well to see off the attacks that Clifton threw at them in the fi rst 10-15 minutes of the game.

Once they settled, Kearsney

From the bowling greens

started to create chances of their own, leading to Kearsney win-ning numerous penalty corners, which were not converted.

Towards the end of the fi rst half Kearsney went into the lead through a goal from David Hud-son, with a defl ection on a ball from Guy Morgan.

Kearsney went into the break 1-0 up.

The second half belonged to Kearsney, with Clifton creat-

ing a couple of counter attacks through Kearsney’s occasional errors.

The hosts became increas-ingly stronger as the game pro-gressed; and Steven Conway was able to get Kearsney’s sec-ond goal.

Keanan Naidoo was once again on top form, offering Kearsney a lot of attack down the right-hand side with his pace and skill.

HILLCREST'S motor car racer, Shaun La Réserveé was the overall winner at this weekend's 2017 Engen Volkswagen Cup that took place at Killarney, Cape Town.

"The fi rst race ran pretty much as a procession with La Réserveé pressuris-ing wildcard winner, Devin Robertson, all the way to the fl ag and Pepper over-coming Jano van der Westhuizen for sixth on the run to the fl ag," according to a Pepper Racing statement on the race.

The second race saw fraught competi-tion up front with La Réserveé pressuris-ing Robertson until moving into the lead on lap 7 before his pursuers, Robertson and Jeffrey Kruger, tangled behind him to leave Shaun to fend off young Clinton Bezuidenhout and Tasmin.

Lupini was tagged from behind and turned into the wall to retire at the end of lap 1 and Duminy once again suffered fuel issues to take another early shower.

Shaun has won a race in each of the last three Polo Cup meetings at Killar-ney and is being seen as something as an expert at the Cape track.

"Race one was a close affair, fi nish-

ing just behind Devin and then I made a move to take the lead of race two and managed to hold it until the end - it was a great start to the year," said La Réserveé.

"I'd like to thank Iain, Shane, my dad and the whole Pepper Racing team," he said.

The next round will be contested on the new tarmac of the famous Midrand circuit on 21 and 22 April.

"I am getting mar-ried on that day, and we can't move the date so I'm hap-py with today's re-sult, he said"

It will probably also be helpful for La Réservée that rival Tas-min Pepper will also not be at Ky-alami.

"I'm getting mar-ried to her cousin so she will also be at the wedding," he smiled sweetly.

LAND Rover Durban Hillcrest Vil-lagers Rugby Club began its 2017 fi rst division rugby season with two decisive wins.

On Saturday, the KZNRU pre-mier and fi rst division clubs all played in the opening round of the season at Growthpoint Kings Park Stadium.

The Villagers started their cam-paign against the newly promoted Queensburgh Rugby Club.

The man of the match award

went to Henkie Groenewald. Head coach, Mike de Kock, was

delighted with both wins and said the focus will be on the upcoming encounter with PMB Collegians.

The Villagers will take on the PMB Collegians on Saturday, 1 April at the Durban Shongweni Club from 2pm.
