Gavin Foster

AUTODEALER journalist and Sarnia resident, Gavin Foster, was recently presented with a spate of awards at the Toyota Financial Services SAGMJ Motoring Journalist of the Year awards.

He took home the top awards for three of the four categories he entered - Magazines (Motor-sport), Magazines (Motorcycles) and Digital Media (Motorcy-cles) – along with a highly com-mended certifi cate for the fourth, Magazines (Motoring). He was also declared overall Motorcycle Journalist of the Year.

"I was especially pleased with the motorsport award and the motoring magazine entries’ highly commended certifi cate as those are both hotly contested categories," said Gavin, who noted that his successes sur-prised him because he believed his work from last year was of a higher standard. "Winning two awards then was a surprise

and this year came as a bigger shock."

Gavin worked for Transnet for 20 years before taking vol-untary retrenchment in 1993. The avid reader soon afterwards met Dave Mullany, then editor of Scope Magazine, who told him he needed an article about guns. "I wrote a four-part series and it grew legs, running for two years," Gavin explained. “I got lucky!”

He then broadened his scope and started doing articles about drag racing and hot rods before drifting into normal motoring and anything else that caught his fancy. He believed that while you could teach anybody the rules of writing, doing it well was a skill that could only be acquired through reading. "I still read for hours on end every day. It helps with my writing that I’m fasci-nated by and research a lot of topics, ranging from true crime to eccentrics to health issues to

military history. Everyone has a story to tell, even if they don’t realise it themselves, and they’re very often noteworthy," said the writer extraordinaire, who also pens humorous columns.

"I haven’t had a proper job in 23 years, but the great thing about freelancing is that you can cherry-pick the stories." In 2008 he won a PICA Award, previ-ously called Mondi Award, for a profi le piece he wrote for Best Life magazine. "It was an in-tensely personal story about my late daughter that nobody else was in a position to write, so it’s really hers," he added.

Gavin has extensively re-searched notorious Pinetown serial killer, Peter Roy Barber, but his freelance magazine and newspaper work make it dif-fi cult to fi nd time to write the book that’s bubbling away in his head. His lifelong passions in-clude motorcycling, history and, of course, reading.

Dog rescued from storm water drainA LOCAL patroller was commended for his bravery after he rescued a three-legged dog that was stuck in the drain.

Scott Fordyce, a Pine-Ridge Neighbour-hood Watch patroller said he received a call on the emergency phone around 11.30am on Sunday, 6 November about a woman's son who had heard a dog howling in the storm water drain in Millrock Road.

Scott Fordyce and Brandon Paine open up the storm water drain to rescue the dog.

"I alerted the neighbourhood watch patrol-lers who responded immediately. When we got there, we called for the dog, but heard nothing. So, we opened the storm water drain lid and there was the poor pooch," said Fordyce.

He jumped in and attached a made-shift harness to lift the German Shepherd out of the drain. It is believed there was a hole in the ground that the dog had fallen in on Wednes-day, 2 November. The dogs was returned to its owners who live on Millrock Road.

The community commended Fordyce for his bravery as well as Brandon Paine, who assisted in the rescue.

TWO of the men believed to be involved in the hijacking of an Uber driver and murder of a Westville resident were released, due to insuf-fi cient evidence, after their appearance at the Pinetown Magistrate's Court on Thursday 10 November.

According to Natasha Kara, regional spokes-man: Director of Public Prosecutions (KwaZulu-Natal) only a 25-year-old accused was enrolled in this matter and charged for robbery with ag-gravating circumstances. The other two accused were not enrolled due to insuffi cient evidence, as police continue investigations. The case was postponed to Wednesday, 16 November and the accused was remanded into police custody until the next court date. The fourth man will appear in court once he is discharged from hospital.

The men were arrested after the hijacking of an Uber driver on Monday, 7 November. Ac-cording to Hillcrest SAPS communications of-fi cer, Cst Ndumiso Manqele, the Uber driver was called out to pick up passengers on the main road near Watercrest Mall in Waterfall when he was hijacked and forced into the boot of the Ford Focus.

"One passenger said he was going to Durban, but wanted to fetch something from his house fi rst and the driver drove towards the direction they gave him. The driver realised that there was something wrong and he then pressed the panic button. The C-track agent kept phoning him and the driver cut the calls. They stopped at a house in Crestholme and both men pulled out guns and pointed it at the driver and instructed him to get into the boot," said Cst Manqele.

The driver said he could hear the men trying to locate the vehicle's tracker. The men found the tracker and ripped it out but did not know the car was fi tted with two trackers.

"The agent picked up that something was wrong and dispatched the recovery unit. The driver was released and told to run. The driver bumped into some people who were fi shing in a river in lower Molweni and asked them to con-tact the police," said Cst Manqele.

"THREE men were found inside the vehicle they had allegedly used in the commission of a house robbery at Empangeni and a Westville murder.

“It is alleged that on Saturday, 5 November, four unknown gunmen accosted a homeowner in Chearsley Road in Westville, fired shots at him and he returned fire.

“The victim, Paresh Bodalia (46), died at the scene but he managed to wound one hijacker in the exchange of gunfire. All the criminals fled in their getaway vehicle," said Gwala.

A case of murder was opened at Westville police station for investigation and the search for the murderers ensued.

KwaZulu-Natal acting provincial commissioner, Major General Bheki Langa said, "The determination by the police to arrest the criminals is commended. We will continue to ensure that criminals are successfully prosecuted for their dreadful acts."

THE manager of Pro Force Security, Wouter Els, said his company was tracking a Ford Focus fi tted with C-track that was hijacked in Waterfall on Monday, 7 November.

Pro Force Security recovered this vehicle on a small dirt road towards the Umgeni River. The vehicle had been parked in the bushes.

While Pro Force Security were waiting at the scene for the spare keys to be brought to them, a white Kia Rio arrived with three occupants.

"When they saw the security ve-hicle they tried to make a U-turn but were quickly approached by Pro Force Security and questioned. It was

also noticed that there was blood on the back seat. The security offi cer handcuffed and detained the suspects, as they awaited the arrival of the SAPS.

“Upon searching the suspects, the keys for the hijacked Ford Focus were recovered," said Els.

Hillcrest SAPS Crime Prevention Unit then arrived on scene and it was established that the blood on the back seat was from a fourth suspect who had been shot on Saturday night.

This suspect was then traced to Kind Edward Hospital and after fur-ther investigation by the police, the vehicle was linked to the murder of

Westville resident, Paresh Bodalia, and all four suspects were arrested.

"We are extremely proud of our offi cers who work hard and are dedi-cated to the fi ght against crime and for putting their lives on the line to effect these arrests," said Els.

According to Cst Manqele, it was discovered the KIA Rio was hired at a company in Durban and was linked to two other house robbery cases, one in Empangeni and the other in Westville.

Captain Nqobile Gwala, KZN SAPS spokeswoman, eThekwini In-ner and Outer West police arrested four men aged between 22 and 36 for hijacking, murder and house robbery.

The Kia Rio was recovered after an Uber driver was hijacked by the three men.

Help Chenoa collect 1 000 cuddle angelsCHENOA Brenkman hopes to collect enough plush toys for 1 000 orphans and underprivi-leged children throughout the Durban area.

The 17-year-old St Benedict School learner’s idea for the charity drive started when she took part in the enke six-day intensive leadership course in Johannesburg.

The course covered a variety of team build-ing activities, from building relationships with others and inspirational speaking seminars to setting goals and working with others and ways to fi nd themselves.

“To complete the course each person needed to host a community action project and through this, I started the Cuddle Angels project,” said Chenoa. “I chose to collect plush toys for chil-dren. Throughout my whole life I collected teddy bears and I refused to give them away. I remember feeling, even to this day, how much safer I felt when I had a teddy bear with me when I slept.”

She launched the project soon after the course and created a Facebook page and posted the fi rst donation, which was from herself. To raise the 300 plush toys currently in bags at her home, she approached friends and family and started a drive at her school, while others donat-ed money. “I then went to the Highway Hospice and purchased teddy bears from there, giving back to charity in another way,” said Chenoa. She also approached Pinetown Baptist Church to help support her project.

“I aimed for 1 000 as it is a goal that I thought was attainable. There are just so many orphans in South Africa, and the Malvern Children’s Home currently looks after 125 children. Just being able to give a teddy to one child and make them smile and feel safe, is a reward.”

“I’ve received so much from my grandpar-ents and parents and every opportunity that opens up for me, they have encouraged me to take it. I want to be able to give back as well,” said Chenoa.

She will host a collection day at the Four-ways SPAR on Saturday, 26 November and is in need of new, used or handmade plush toys or shoppers can also purchase a raffl e ticket for R10 each. They money raised in the raffl e will be used to purchase extra plush toys.

Once this charity drive is compete, she will continue with Cuddle Angels next year and hopes to distribute Easter eggs to orphanages. Contact Chenoa via the Facebook page, Cud-dle Angels, and she will arrange for a collection to be done. “Thanks to my family, friends, the staff at enke, APP Designs, XtremeLens 360, Fourways SPAR, my school and the Pinetown Baptist Church for all of the support they have given me for this project,” she said.

Graeme Wright, the CEO of Ikhethelo Children’s Village (middle) with the Rotary Club of Hillcrest’s Dennis Wesley and Carl Grossmann.

AN R880 000 Rotary Club of Hillcrest project will ensure that the 48 children at the local NPO, iKhethelo Children's Village, will have constant access to clean and safe water.

While the installation of the two water storage reservoirs only took a few days to install, the pro-ject has taken months of arduous planning and is the largest project for the year for the Hillcrest Club.

The two water storage units can hold a maximum of 220 000l and fi ll up using rain water collected from the roofs of the on-site build-ings.

According to Hillcrest Rotarian and project manager, Carl Gross-mann, leaves and other solid ob-jects are removed from the water using a grating system. The water then reaches the fi rst fl ush system

which fi lls up and only allows the partially fi ltered water to enter the tanks.

A pressure pump is connected to the plumbing network and it is here, before it reaches the build-ings, that the water goes through a comprehensive fi ltration system.

The mammoth project will be completed at the end of November alongside a separate project where a borehole will be rejuvenated.

The hopes among the group of Rotarians is that iKhethelo can then remove itself from the grid and rely solely on the rain water collected, saving the organisation thousands of Rands each month.

"We are hoping to have enough excess funds to convert the gey-sers to solar hot water systems which will also help reduce the electricity consumption," said

Carl. There are 14 geysers across iKhethelo.

"This is a huge fi nancial help for the Village as we have more than 70 people living on site and we will save so much on water and now on electricity as well.

"The health aspects of it are phenomenal as we can sometimes go without water for two to three days if there is a burst water pipe somewhere in the area.

"Now we won't be running out of water any time soon. A big thank you to the Rotary Club of Hillcrest and their partners for their time and effort on this pro-ject.

"If it was not for them, this whole place would not even be possible," said Graeme Wright, the CEO of iKhethelo Children's Village.

What started off with a R30 000 donation from the Kearsney Strid-ers to Hillcrest Rotary, was boost-ed to R880 000 by the matching of funds by Rotary International and the Rotary Clubs from Ford-ingbridge, UK, Winnipeg, Canada and Carlsbud, USA.

"This just goes to show the pow-er of Rotary and how we connect people and help others around the world. We are so proud to make such a difference to so many oth-ers with only 18 members in the Club," said Dennis Wesley of the Rotary Club of Hillcrest.

"There is a misconception of how Rotary Clubs operate and we encourage Highway residents to join us. Rotary provides the op-portunity for community service and fellowship to local men and women," added Dennis.


WESTVILLE North residents fi lled the Atholl Heights Primary School hall on Thursday night fol-lowing the murders in the area.

A moment of silence was ob-served to remember the six people who were murdered in Westville; Jongikhaya Phayiphi, Gordon Donaldson, Piere van Schalkwyk, Gary MacKay, Paresh Bodalia and Yashin Bagwandeen. Residents expressed their concerns about the increase in crime and said they be-lieved Westville was under siege.

According to residents, their properties have lost value and drastic measures need to be taken to reduce the escalating crime rate.

At the meeting, turning resi-dential areas surrounding the New Germany Nature Reserve into a Special Rates Area (SRA) was proposed.

"I have no illusions that this will be a long walk to freedom,

with many hurdles and chal-lenges, but with combined effort I believe that we can overcome the issues that we face and that we, like others who have followed this route, can achieve success," said the driver of the SRA in the area, Guy Boardman.

Boardman said the SRA areas will be around the Dunkeld Road turn-off from the M19, along Otto Volek, Josiah Gumede, Birdhurst, Methven, and Rodger Sishi roads.

Westville currently has a West-ville North Community Project which was started a few months ago and Boardman said it is a sim-ilar idea to what the SRA will be, and has helped reduce crime.

He pleaded with residents to support the SRA idea to help fi ght the escalating crime in the area.

People can register their details on www.hoodwatch.co.za or email [email protected] or contact Guy on 082 817 4939.

Two men arrested for attempted hijackingPOLICE arrested two of the three men who tried to hijack a car in Oppenheimer Road, Pinetown on Friday. Police in plain clothes who saw the incident unfold, im-mediately approached the men who fl ed the scene on foot.

Police arrested one of the men and police spread out to search for the other two men who used a river, under a bridge on Escom Road to escape.

The second man was arrested

and the third man is still at large.A Westville police offi cer

who responded to the attempted hijacking and chased the men through the river injured his leg.

Pinetown SAPS communica-tions offi cer, Capt Bongumusa Manqele said the men were found with an unlicensed gun and a case of attempted hijacking and pos-session of unlicensed fi rearm and ammunition has been opened at the Pinetown SAPS.

Provin Devnarain - The crime is quite bad at the moment, we are really concerned and that is the reason we are all gathered here tonight.

Max Gregory - I am very concerned about security in this area. I really believe that everyone needs to play their part so that we can find a solu-tion and live in peace.

Bee Zweni - I have been a Westville resident for almost 25 years. In the past there have been incidents of break-ins but what is happening now is out of control. The crime is getting worse each and every day and we are scared as it’s getting very violent and innocent people are dying.

Cosmetics company joins river clean-upFOLLOWING many inci-dents of pollution at the Pal-miet River, staff from Zeta Laboratories, a Pinetown-based company, assisted to clean-up the river along Har-ley Street on Friday.

The staff collected 15 bags that was fi lled with different kinds of litter which gets washed away into rivers.

CEO of Zeta Laboratories, Yasheen Modi said his fam-ily home was on the Palmiet River.

"As a child, we played in the water and I was shocked to see the poor water qual-ity and the trash that is be-ing washed down the river. I decided to make sure that one day my children will be able to play in the river," said Modi.

Modi said he has made a commitment to take his staff regularly to clean the river.

"We intend developing and sponsoring a system that will help prevent plas-tic from washing in to the ocean without harming fi sh and other life in the river. We have created awareness among our 300 staff mem-bers and have made them conscious about the impact plastic waste has on our en-vironment and aquatic life.

"They all have bought in to the ideals of a plastic free river for the long term sustainability of our marine

habitats which will one day benefi t their children," ex-plained Modi

He added that he hoped more companies in the High-way area will join the fi ght to save rivers.

Lee D’Eathe, Palmiet River Watch Champion said he was excited to see Zeta Laboratories CEO, Yasheen Modi with his staff, clearing trash and committing them-selves to help win back the health of the Palmiet River.

Lee said nothing will change until the businesses become partners with the Palmiet River Watch's vision of a pollution-free environ-ment.

"This is hopefully the long awaited breakthrough, someone with a passion and personal interest in the riv-er," said Lee.

Lee, who has just com-pleted an assessment, said it was heart-breaking to see most of the creatures that live in the Palmiet River have been obliterated by wave after wave of pollution and aggressive storm water fl ow.

"Even the side streams are badly affected, and this is where the aquatic creatures should survive and where other animals can feed; the birds, fi sh, bats, mongoose and reptiles have nowhere else to go," he added.

Pinetown SAPS contact numbersETHEKWINI Inner and Outer West Cluster has released contact numbers for the Pinetown police station.

Deputy Cluster Commander, Brigadier Vukani Mgobhozi - 082 417 8529.

Cluster Vispol Commander, Colonel Deon Singh - 082 418 1267.

Acting Station Commander, Colonel Leon Matthysen - 071 896 4004.

Community Service Centre, 031 325 5080/81/82/83.

Pinetown SAPS communica-tions offi cer, Capt Bongumusa Manqele said they would like to encourage the community to make use of the police emergen-cy number 10111 or Crime Stop 08600 1011 to report criminal ac-tivities in their areas.

"The community should con-tact the community service centre before the station management."

THE increase of illegal dumping around the Up-per Highway area has prompted the Environmental Health Services to team up with other municipal departments to stop people from dumping ille-gally. Illegal dumping in areas especially in Embo, KwaNgcolosi and Molweni has increased and is putting pressure on the waste management ser-vices.

Manager of the Environmental Health Services Department in Waterfall, Baba Mantambo said it seems pollution still remains a huge problem and poses continuous health risks as a whole despite ef-forts that have been made over the years to clean up the environment.

"In the Outer West area, illegal dumping contin-ues to be a huge issue despite efforts of enforcement and community involvement," said Mantambo.

Environmental Health Services fi ndings were that, certain businesses are trying to avoid disposal fees of landfi ll sites and people showing no interest in the triple RRR principle which is reduce, reuse and recycle of waste.

"The lack of suffi cient waste collection services within affected areas and with Wyebank Landfi ll site lifespan looming (DSW ) Durban Solid Waste has reduce their waste intake onto the site resulting as people’s excuse to continue dumping illegally.

"Environmental Health services has a legal man-date to ensure that the environment in which people live is conducive to healthy living and is one that is free of disease and harm for the present and future generations," he added.

He said together with other concerned municipal departments, Metro Police, Durban Solid Waste, Road and Storm Water, Parks Department and En-vironmental Health have implemented a plan of ac-tion to stop illegal dumpings.

The department pleads with the community to report illegal dumpers to the Environmental Health Services Offi ce on 031 311 6956. One of the illegal dumping sites in Embo.

PEOPLE are invited to the Kloof Rotary Business Update talk at the Kloof Country Club on Tuesday, 22 November at 6.30pm.

The presentation, Making sense of your Rands, will be presented by Kate du Randt, a certifi ed fi nancial planner from Wynsam

Wealth."Medical aid is

a grudge purchase, we all wish we did not have to pay for it but we dare not cancel it. For many people their medi-cal aid premium makes up 10 per cent to 20 per cent of their monthly expenditure, yet if you ask them how much they under-stand about their medical aid the an-swer is, very little,"

said Selwyn Comrie, Kloof Rotary board member.

Comrie said the presentation will look at how to get the best value for money out of a medical aid.

"People will receive insight on how the professionals structure their medical aid to ensure they are getting what they are paying for and not paying for what they are not us-ing," added Comrie.

Email Selwyn Comrie at [email protected] or contact 082 659 4659 to confi rm your attendance. There is a R50 charge and light snacks will be served. A cash bar will be available.


Make sense of your Rands at business talk

WESTVILLE Pre-Primary School principal, Ingrid Dixon, will be retiring at the end of the year. Dixon started as a teacher of three-year-olds in 1991. She was appointed as the school principal in 1998 and has tak-en the school from strength to strength in her 19 years as head of the school.

During her leadership at Westville Pre-Primary, Ingrid has been instrumental in many of the improvements made at the school.

These included purchasing an adjacent residential home

which was converted into two, Grade R classrooms and a classroom for the two-year-old age group.

The house also enabled the school to increase its garden space to include a large cycle track and extra mural area.

"Ingrid has been involved in educating and touching the lives of so many Westville pu-pils, many of whom pop in from time to time to visit," said Clair Saunderson, fi nancial adminis-trator at the school.

After 24 years at the school, Ingrid will be spending her re-

tirement with her supportive husband, Barry.

They are both looking for-ward to quality time with their two grandchildren, Sophia and Zach and their third grandchild who is due next year.

The school will be holding a farewell tea party for Ingrid on Friday, 25 November. The school extends an invitation to all former parents and pupils to join them.

Contact Clair or Gill on 031 266 4371 or email [email protected] by Wednesday, 23 November.

Matriculants advised to celebrate responsiblyWITH parties and festivals being planned across the country for matrics to unwind after exams, ADT Security has pleaded with matric-ulants to celebrate responsibly.

KZN ADT’s district manager, Ivan Goven-der, said Grade 12 learners and their families have worked long and hard to get to this point and he wished them all the best during the tough examination process.

"However, the immense sense of relief when the exams are fi nished does not mean that one should be careless when it comes to their safe-ty."

He said that there are easy safety measures that they should remember especially if they will be celebrating away from home in a pos-sibly unfamiliar area.

"They should ensure that anything valu-able is locked away in a drawer or safe before leaving their accommodation for the day or night and never carry large amounts of cash or go out wearing fl ashy or expensive jewellery. If their accommodation is a holiday house or apartment, they should make sure that all the doors are locked, the windows are properly shut and that the alarm is activated if a system is installed."

Govender said the learners should be aware of their surroundings and arrange with their friends to keep an eye on each other’s belong-ings when out at different events and activities.

"If they are approached by a suspicious in-dividual, they should walk away and report it to the closest security or to the police. When it is time to return to their accommodation after a night out, they should never leave without their friends."

He also warned learners not to accept lifts from strangers, they should rather use transport provided by the event organisers and driving after a few drinks is never an option.

Govender added that parents should share these tips with their children regardless of where they will be celebrating the end of the exams.

Shongweni landfi ll’s stink is toxicEDITOR - To be brief, that stink from the Shongweni Landfi ll dump has not abated in the slightest. It hangs in the fog. All smells are par-ticulate, that means we are tasting it.

I experience blinding headaches, dizziness, and diffi culty breathing from the odour. It's tox-ic. It's impossible to have windows open as the smell lingers in my home for days after. If all the ratepayers stopped paying until the stink ceases, they would actually do something.

The run-off must be pumped into tanker trucks and taken to hazardous waste incineration immediately.

Thank you for your committed attention.Rudy KasteliGillitts

Support makes all the difference to parentsEDITOR - Sometimes life tosses you a curve ball. Whether you like it or not, you have to catch and run.

My son was diagnosed with a form of cancer, Paraganglioma. The only place he can receive PRRT treatment is in Johannesburg.

Travelling for him is extremely diffi cult in that he cannot sit for more than 15 to 20 minutes. So, we needed to get a vehicle that had seats which could go fl at.

Emotionally and fi nancially we have been hit

hard and you start to wonder how on earth? Then, one inquiry and an angel is put on our

path. A very special man by the name of Corné. We could never be able to express our grati-

tude for everything you and your team at Motor-storm did for us. I wish more people could have the outlook on life that you have, we would have a better world.

Thank you guys, from the bottom of our hearts. HollyRichards Bay

EDITOR - It is not only with sadness that I write this letter, but, as strange as it may seem, also with a profound sense of gratitude as well.

Sadness that we have allowed our country to degenerate to a level of anarchy, lawlessness and a total lack of respect of any law, rule and human life. Sadness that while decent hard-working folk go to work every day to put food on the table and keep the economy going, we become prey to ruth-less criminals, who roam the streets in broad day-light, without fear of the law.

They contribute nothing but misery and hard-ship on everyone else. Sadness that while our po-lice offi cers risk their lives every day and do their best to protect the law-abiding majority, it does not seem to be enough, as crime in South Africa has reached unimaginable heights.

But within this despair that is being constantly felt by thousands of South Africans, I am also ex-tremely grateful for the assistance I received on Tuesday, 8 November, from two passing motor-ists in Bamboo Lane in Pinetown.

I was hijacked at gunpoint and left stranded in the street while my vehicle was being stolen. These two brave people took me in their vehicle and risked their lives chasing the hijackers at high speed through Pinetown, until they disappeared

into Clermont. After spotting a police ve-hicle during the chase, I left my Samaritans and continued the chase in the police vehi-cle, unfortunately without success.

In my haste to continue the chase with the police, I did not have time to thank these two kind and brave individuals, let alone get their names.

Words are such feeble tools when one tries to express one’s gratitude and appreciation for such an extraordinary act from these two seemingly ordinary people. I am also grateful to W/O Mba-ta who drove me around Clermont for an hour searching for my vehicle.

I pray that this unselfi sh deed by these three people wakes the rest of us up, particularly our political leaders to realise that the people of this country have simply had enough of their ineffi -ciency or lack of will to make our country safe.

With current statistics of 50 people being mur-dered every day in South Africa, does that not alarm them? How many people need to die before these politicians do something to bring this night-mare to an end?

Can we be asking for so much from our lead-ers?Johnny VassilarosWinston Park

We are being manipulatedEDITOR - It was of interest that I read in one of the newspapers that the eThekwini Municipality is now slapping us with a "water levy".

Since the start of the water restrictions, I backtracked a year to get our monthly average water consumption. We have made drastic ef-forts to save water as much as possible and have managed to cut our previous average by 57 per cent instead of the 15 per cent that the munici-pality requested.

Now that the municipality is losing incoming revenue because of all the people saving water, they are trying to make up for this loss of rev-enue by slapping us already poor residents (both of us being pensioners) with a water levy.

Who do they think we are, a bunch of idiots, that we can't see through their little manipulating scheme? Disgruntled 70-year-old residentNew Germany

Why are we being painted with the same brush?EDITOR - It was with some distress that I read in one of the daily newspapers that I would prob-ably have to pay a 'drought levy' because some were not using water sparingly in the Durban/Pietermaritzburg areas.

As a consumer who cut back from seven to fi ve kilolitres and then was further penalised by having a “restrictor” installed, I am appalled to hear of people living as close as Kloof and as far as Umhalanga and Cato Ridge, that they do not have restrictors installed.

I thought that I was living in a democratic country, but alas that is not practiced and perhaps the eThekwini Municipality should be looking at their shortcomings in controlling water useage rather than implementing new systems which were not needed as the old ones worked well enough.

Why should those who make the effort be pe-nalised for those who don’t? CathyWaterfall

Kainon Primary School is proud of the five cross country runners who received their national colours at the South African Christian Schools Sports Association Championships in Ermelo. To qualify for their national colours, they had to place in the top three and reach the national qualifying standard of their age group. Seen here are the five runners, Beth Mayer, Jess Mansfield, Hannah Misselhorm, Keegan Orman and Chelsea Haarhoff.

Athletes receive national colours

Principal of the school, Mahlini Reddy, said every term they support a different organisation."Every Friday throughout the term, learners brought canned food and soft toys for the SPCA."Everyone came to school wearing civvies and paid R5. The money raised will be donated to the SPCA," said Reddy. The SPCA held a puppet show for Avon learners to thank them for their generous donation.

SIBONELO Mkhize (17), pre-fect at Star College was one of the many aspiring young photographers who showcased their talent at the Culture@Kearsney Photographic Com-petition recently.

Kearsney College hosted this competition to give young photographers who are still at school, between the ages of 13 to 19, the opportunity to submit their best collection of photographs for different cat-egories. Among the collection submitted by Sibonelo was the winning photograph. Under the category 'Clas-sic Black and White Portrait', the brief for the photographs to be sub-mitted under this category was "We want to see a clear understanding by the photog-rapher of their skill in using lighting, location and composi-tion demonstrated by portraits that are compelling and hold your imagination."

Following this brief, Sibo-nelo submitted the photograph that earned him the prize. It was a photo taken at his school’s latest sports event. When asked about his choice of deciding to submit this photograph, Sibo-nelo said, "I decided to name it Best Yet, because ever since the commencement of my career in photography, this photograph remains my best so far."

At the pr ize-g iv ing

ceremony Sibonelo received the second prize for his classic black and white portrait Best Yet, and he received a special award for 'Most Promising Par-ticipant', which won him the opportunity to attend a practi-cal-instructional workshop/in-ternship within the production environment at the Like Giants studios in Umhlanga. At this workshop, he will learn cam-era set-up, frame composition, lighting design, direction and production essentials.

When asked about his

achievement he said: "I could have not asked for any better prize than the one I received. Photography is my passion because I am passionate about conveying a message and sto-ries through my lenses, I am the photographic 'raconteur'. Through photography, lives can be changed for the better, and throughout history, photo-graphs keep memories and they have the ability to tell untold stories, I am elated about my award and I would like to send many thanks to Kearsney Col-lege for such an amazing op-portunity."

Highway Hospice’s day centre patients, Singile Nkwanyana, Fathima Essop and Joy Danré encourage the community to support the Tree of Light fundraiser.

HIGHWAY Hospice’s day cen-tre patients are urging you to support the Tree of Light, an an-nual fundraising event in which you can pay tribute to a loved who has died.

The Tree of Light helps fund transport and nourishment for the continuation of the day cen-tre, which is also helped by vol-unteers.

According to day centre pa-tient Joy Danré, hospice, a non-profi t organisation which cares for people with advanced, in-curable diseases, including HIV, within the greater Durban area, is a worthy cause to support.

"Hospice really needs to raise funds for the wonderful work they do. I personally have come a long way over the past three years here. Donating to hospice is so important," said Danré.

Singile Nkwanyana, another patient, shared the same senti-ments adding that she looked forward to the weekly day cen-tre meetings to share stories with other patients, play board games, exercise and enjoy the comradeship and friendship.

The day centre patients meet every Thursday from 9am to 12.30pm for occupational ther-apy, medical care and a lovely breakfast and lunch. They also go on fi eld trips to the cinema, Mini Town, Mitchel Park and other places of interest.

Fathima Essop, another pa-tient, said hospice is not only for end stage cancer patients. There are patients who are in re-mission and are homebound and maybe alone.

"Hospice’s day centre is a meeting place for a morning of

care, fun and laughter. I enjoy the friendship, love, care and communication with others which beats being cooped up at home," said Fathima.

Heather Walker, fundraiser at Highway Hospice said, "When the lights burn bright on the Tree of Light, its sends out a message to all those out there to bring joy to someone near and dear. It adds a few more years of cheer for day centre patients. So when hospice asks you to dig deep, remember who you are doing it for."

The Tree of Light ceremony is at Jameson Park (opposite Mitchell Park) on Friday, 2 De-cember. The fundraising event starts at 6pm with Christmas themed music, supplied by dedicated volunteer musicians. There's food stalls but you can

also take your own picnic bas-ket along, as well as a blanket and an umbrella in case it rains - there will be a few tents erected as a standby.

The actual lighting of the tree takes place at 7.45pm (weather permitting) when more than 9000 globes light up with a soft radiance. The tree will shine throughout December in memo-ry of those who have passed on.

If you would like to remem-ber a loved one for this spe-cial event, please let Highway Hospice have your donation of R50 per globe. Forms are avail-able at www.mylight.co.za and please indicate who you are re-membering so that your dedica-tion can be placed in the Book of Remembrance that evening. You can also use the form be-low.

THIS week, Hillcrest Conserv-ancy, takes a look at the Indian laurel, as part of its series of ar-ticles on alien invasive plants, to help the community to identify and eradicate them from their gardens.

The Indian laurel's scientifi c name is Litsea glutinosa, but it is also known as the Indiese lou-rier in Afrikaans.

Description: The Indian laurel is an ever-

green shrub or tree growing six to 10m high. This large tree can sometimes be confused with the avocado, the crushed leaf will however give it away as it has a rather unpleasant smell. The growth form is also similar to an avocado. Yellow-orange fl owers which appear in summer from October to May are also a give-away. Fruit/seeds: Pea-sized shiny black berries seated on a disc with one seed inside.

Where does this species come from? Himalayas and south-east

Asia.

Know your alien invasive plant: Indian laurel

CONTACT Ian Pattrick on 079 909 5458 or Hillcrest Conservancy chairman, George Victor, on 073 901 3902 or e-mail [email protected]

Where in South Africa is it a problem?

This species is a particular problem in KZN, specifi cally the Durban area.

How does it spread? Seed dispersal.

Why is it a problem? A habitat transformer which

competes against indigenous plants.

Does the plant have any uses?

Used as an ornament, but now invasive.

What is its invasive status in South Africa?

This is a Category 1b plant and must therefore be removed. It is better to remove these when they are small as the cost to re-move a fully grown specimen will be considerable.

Award-winning actress and singer, Sindi Dlathu is best known for her television roles as Nomfundo in Soul City and as Thandaza in Muvhango.

Famous actors team up for

HIGHLY-acclaimed director and playwright Duma Ndlovu’s play, The Game, has been included in

The Playhouse Company’s exciting festive season programme, and will run in the Playhouse Loft Theatre from Thursday, 15 to Saturday, 24 December.

Sindi Dlathu, Dawn King, Nqobile Ndlovu, Nomasonto Dlamini, Shei-la Khumalo, Buhle Samuels, Lun-gile Mkhize and Vuyiseka Cawe are some of South Africa’s top names in the entertainment world and will star in the production.

The Game is set in a fictitious women’s prison in Middelburg just a few months before South Africa’s first democratic elections, and amid the crumbling embers of the apart-heid state.

The prisoners are told that one of them will be released to mark the oc-casion. The catch is that the prison-ers must decide among themselves

who is to be released. This sets the cat among the pi-

geons and what follows is a gritty telling of each prisoner’s fascinating personal story.

The Game is full of intrigue and riveting twists and turns.

Duma Ndlovu is a Soweto-born di-rector, producer, journalist and play-wright who is well-known for works such as Bergville Stories, The Game, The Ritual and The Journey. He is the creator of both Muvhango and Uzalo, two of South African televi-sion's most popular television series.

Tickets will cost R80 for the pre-view on Thursday, 15 December, and R100 thereafter.

Tickets may be purchased from the Playhouse Box office on 031 369 9596/9540 and from Compu-ticket outlets nationwide. Substantial block booking discounts can be ob-tained by calling Dawn on 031 369 9407.

Brayden Hore (bassist), Mthunzi Mchunu (guitarist), Janice Joseph (vocalist) and Devon Hore (drummer) will be performing at the Highway Hospice on Sunday, 20 November.

Relax at Hospice’s jazz afternoonIS growing a moustache not your scene in the month of Movember? Why not support the male patients of the Highway Hospice by attending the Food of Love Jazz afternoon on Sunday, 20 November.

Durban jazz band, 5th Season, will perform to create a relaxed after-noon from 2pm to 6pm. The talent-ed Nick Sbu Engel will feature with some soothing Saxophone tunes and all artists will have their CD’s avail-able for purchase.

John’o Olds of the Highway Hospice said, "We want to create a chilled afternoon for all to enjoy. People should bring their own food and drinks and listen to the amazing tunes.

“There will be a marquee at the hospice (Locksley Drive, Sherwood) in case it rains."

Tables of 10 are available at R1 500 and can be booked online at www.highwayhospice.co.za or con-tact John’o on 031 208 6110.

Support Sunfi eld Home with calendar purchase

Barbara Patrick, manager of the Kloof and Highway SPCA, with Gabbana and the Friends of the Kloof and Highway SPCA 2017 calendar.

THE Kloof and Highway SPCA was ex-cited to announce the launch of its much anticipated 2017 calendar, Friends of the Kloof and Highway SPCA.

"Each page of the outstanding 2017 calendar captures our very own special, unique and much-loved animals that have either been adopted from our SPCA or are currently in our care and call our SPCA home," said Lisa Mörck, the PR and outreach offi cer at the Kloof and Highway SPCA.

The 2017 calendar costs R150 a copy and 100 per cent of the proceeds from the sale of the calendars will go to the care of animals at the Kloof and High-way SPCA. "This will enable us to con-tinue our mission in the prevention of cruelty to animals and being the voice for the voiceless," said Lisa.

The calendars are available for sale at the organisation's main reception, the tea garden, the Kloof and Highway SPCA Maytime and Hillcrest thrift shops, the SPCA book trailer at the Shongweni Farmers' Market and will soon be avail-able at supporting outlets too.

"Each month of the calendar has been sponsored by 12 local companies who are dedicated supporters of the NPO and we are very grateful for their sponsorship. The Kloof and Highway SPCA would like to thank the highly acclaimed, local professional photographer, Kim Thun-der, who once again donated his time to capturing the spectacular images for our beautiful 2017 calendar. Without Kim’s support this calendar would not have been possible.

"We would also like to acknowledge Simon Maritz, the creative director at Aspyre for, once again, donating his time to ensure that the layout and graphic de-sign are of an exceptional quality," said Lisa.

AS a fundraising project, the Friends of Sunfi eld Durban has launched its slim-line calendar for 2017 for R45 a copy.

The funds raised through the sale of the calendars will benefi t the 110 intel-lectually impaired adult residents who live at Sunfi eld Home in Howick. "The home aims to provide a secure and home-like environment. Each resident is given appropriate daily projects and are also involved in occupational and recreational activities to enhance their lifelong well being," said Claudette Marchussen, chairman of Friends of Sunfi eld Durban.

"Frail care becomes necessary and with our caring environment this has made us a leading organisation in our fi eld," said Claudette. The home also celebrated its 60th birthday last year.

It has two outreach programmes in the local community. Angels Care supports underprivileged children and Sunfi eld provides a monthly contribu-tion to assist with the purchase of food, blankets, toiletries and other necessities. "The home also runs a course which teaches students to care for the sick, intellectually impaired and the aged," said Claudette. The course started in June 2002 and is well supported and has a long waiting list of future students. A

few of the students who pass through the programme have since been employed by the home.

The slimline calendars make won-derful and inexpensive gifts and fi t easily into any home. To support the fundraiser, contact Yvonne on 083 616 4295 to purchase calendars in Kloof and Hillcrest, Linda on 082 229 5226 for calendars in Pinetown and Cowies Hill or Gail on 084 514 7564 to purchase cal-endars in Westville.

Do you have diabetes?Diagnosis for diabetes is relatively simple with initial screening being done by a simple fi nger prick blood test which can be done at many clinics, pharmacies, or any doctor’s room.

If the results of such a test indicate a high blood glucose level it is advisable to speak to a your medical practitioner about whether or not you might need a laboratory test to be done which involves a fasting blood glucose test which may be used to diagnose or exclude the presence of diabetes.

More informationThe diabetic association off ers tips on how to cope with diabetes as well as how to maintain a healthy lifestyle on their website and facebook pages.

You can contact the Durban branch of the South African Diabetic Association on 0861 222 717 / 084 7177 443.

Unusual thirstFrequent urinationUnusual weight loss Extreme fatigue or lack of energy Blurred vision Frequent or recurring infections Cuts and bruises that are slow to healBoils and itching skinTingling or numbness in the hands or feet

Signs to watch forIf you or someone you love is showing any of these signs it would be a good idea to have a test done to check your blood sugar level:

It is estimated that 2.28 million adults are living with diabetes in South Africa

and that number refl ects only those who have been diagnosed. Many more remain undiagnosed or are pre-diabetic or at great risk of becoming diabetic.

With those numbers it is very possible someone you know probably has diabetes or might develop diabetes. Few families don’t have anyone with diabetes in it.

Between seven and nine per cent of all South Africans between the age of 20 and 79 have diabetes.

CAXTON local media West

18 November 2016

By James Siddall

Our market is starved for hyper-budget little cars. Witness the sales success of the dire Datsun Go.

And now Renault has come to the party with the Kwid. I’m not entirely convinced that it’s “designed to turn heads” as per the press material, but it’s not an objectionable-looking thing with SUV-ish overtones, and a high 180mm ground clear-ance.

Now in India where it’s built, there might be a bit of a case for it. That high ground clearance and soft suspension will be good at soaking up disinte-grating roads, while with chronic congestion average traf c speed in India is glacial. But in South Africa? Well, we’ll get there in a moment.

Power comes from a buzzy, busy three-cylinder one-litre motor. It makes 50kW at 5,500rpm, and 91Nm at 4,250rpm. To ensure adequate progress you need lots of revs accompanied by furious stir-ring of the ve-speed gear-box. Claimed fuel consump-tion is 4.71 litres per 100km, and there’s a tiny 28 litre fuel tank, while alleged top speed is 152km/h. Presumably for the brave only.

It’s pretty well equipped for this level. There are two versions using the same powertrain. Expression and Dynamique. Both get the likes of power win-dows up front, and air-con. Almost uniquely in this segment the more expensive - or rather less cheap - Dynamique model comes standard with a seven-inch touchscreen incorporating sat nav and media functions.

Both variants get a single airbag for the driver, and...no ABS. Now the world is full of those who’ll tell you that for decades they survived with no ABS, and that the Kwid is safer than a scooter. Perhaps. Possibly. But the absence of ABS is a problem al-though it should be available next year.

It gets worse. On the move, and at anything ap-proaching the national limit the Kwid feels vague, poorly planted, and the very antithesis of con -dence-inspiring. That high-riding body rolling on

13-inch wheels running anorexic rubber that looks not much wider than that of some bicycles helps not. And when the wind gets up, the Kwid is blown about like a leaf. After all, it weighs less than 700kg.

NOW I write this not from a point of automotive snobbery. I understand the urge to own affordable wheels. I understand the concept of vehicles being built to a price. I understand that with a year’s free insurance cur-rently being part of the deal, the Kwid might have a certain appeal.

But I cannot with a clean con-science recommend the Kwid. Not

when our roads are somewhere be-tween a “Mad Max” and a “Ben Hur” film set. And you don’t want to crash in this car. You really don’t.

Rather look at a one-year-old used car with an acceptable crash rating and at least some basic safety kit. Or for much the same price as the Dy-namique model get a Suzuki Celerio GA with two airbags and ABS.

Renault Kwid Expression 1.0-litre SCe - R119,900

Renault Kwid Dynamique 1.0-litre SCe - R129,900

As is the case across Renault’s entire product range, the new Kwid Dynamique and Expression

derivatives come standard with a five-year/150,000km mechanical warranty, and a six-year anti-corrosion warranty. Services take place at 15,000km intervals. Optional service plans are available.

2BMW R nineT Scrambler

By Gavin Foster

In August we told you about the pending arrival of BMW's retro-styles R

nineT Scrambler. Last month I got to ride it around the gor-geous winding roads of the Western Cape, and it's a lovely motorcycle if you're intent on

having a bit of fun. Tellingly, despite the bikes be-

ing tted with chunky Metzeler Karoo 3 semi off-road tyres - an 18" rear and a 19" hoop on the front - there was no dirt whatso-ever included in the launch route. I suspect that the Scrambler would cope adequately on gravel roads, but a rival for the R 1200 GS it is not.

It lacks the suspension for even moderately demanding off-

road use, and would probably be uncomfortable over ruts at any sort of speed.

What the R nineT is, though, is a splendid town bike and back-road blitzer. I gave it a bit of wel-lie through some of the winding sections of the launch and had to keep reminding myself what tyres I was relying on to keep my neck in one piece.

There was none of the usual squirming usually associated with knobbly-type tyres, and no hint of unruly handling from the bike. For the rst few kilome-tres the 220kg Beemer felt very short and twitchy to me, but that feeling evaporated once I'd got into my groove and by the end of the day I loved the way it handled.

The Scrambler uses the fa-miliar 1170cc air-and-oil cooled overhead-camshaft engine as used in the previous genera-

tion R 1200 GS, and it's more than up to the task. Its 110hp at 7,550rpm and beefy 116Nm of torque at 6,000 make for lively performance with a 0-100km/h time of around three sec-onds and a top speed of about 200km/h.

At 160km/h a twist of the wrist in sixth gear gets things happening pretty briskly, but the bikes wore a sticker warn-ing that the tyres were rated for a top speed of - well - 160km/h. That's the reverse of the full-

house 4x4 wagons on the road with diff-locks and low range transmissions rendered ineffec-tive because of the large rims and low pro le tyres tted.

I enjoyed the BMW Scram-bler immensely. It's stylish, it's lively, it handles well, it's lots of fun to ride and it has the mak-ings of a great city bike. It costs R193,300 and comes standard with an aluminium fuel tank, heated handgrips, electronic stability control, wire-spoked wheels and ABS brakes.

Autodealer got a sneak preview of the all-new Triton Sport Utility Truck, launch-ing in February, while visiting the new-

car sales manager of Mitsubishi Umhlanga, Kitto Msomi.

It’s always refreshing to depart from an inter-view being inspired by your subject, and Kitto Msomi’s strong emotions towards Mitsubishi were infectious.

After 13 years of association with the brand, Mitsubishi blood runs deep in Kitto’s veins and as he says he only feels comfortable behind a Mit-subishi steering wheel.

“For me, it’s Mitsubishi. I’ve driven many other vehicles but nothing feels as comfortable and se-cure as a Mitsubishi.”

Safety features and road-holding are two of the reasons Kitto endorses Mitsubishi vehicles, and he says his customers often relate tales of scrapes they wouldn’t have survived in other brands of car. Most customers are ercely brand-loyal and Kitto believes that is not a coincidence.

Mitsubishi is currently offering a great deal on its popular ASX, with the base model available for just R299,900 - that’s a R55,000 dealer assist re-duction on the normal retail price. Kitto reckons the ASX with its raised suspension and full-house of safety and comfort features is a winner as an SUV.

He’s also excited about the freshly launched new Triton that’s already in stock. You can place your orders, or if you would like a virtual tour of the vehicle, get one via a Triton postcard from Kitto and download the Triton SA App from the App Store or Google Play. These will allow you to get up close and personal with every aspect of the new pickup.

Mitsubishi is not the only brand Kitto manag-ers. Since the closing of Subaru Durban earlier this year, he steers the Subaru Umhlanga dealer-ship and is excited to tell us that we can expect two new Subaru models next year. He’s also keeping his ngers crossed that he will have the new Sub-aru WRX as well as the new Mitsubishi Lancer in his showrooms next year.

Subaru Umhlanga is the only Subaru dealership in the Durban vicinity and Kitto says he has met some staunch Subaru customers.

“Subaru makes great vehicles and we’re proud to promote them. We just love our Subaru fans and have one customer who has owned 11 of them so you can forget about swaying him to buy anything else.”

And in case you’re not in the market for a new Mitsubishi or Subaru, Kitto can offer you a great range of good, reliable pre-owned vehicles at NMI Umhlanga, situated at 2 Canegate Road Umhlan-ga - just off Armstrong Avenue.

New car sales manager of Mitsubishi Umhlanga, Subaru Umhlanga and used car

manager of NMI-DSM Umhlanga, Kitto Msomi.

Teased in a series of images last month, Honda of cially took the covers off its brand new WR-V compact crossover

at the Sao Paulo Motor Show in Brazil re-cently.

Based on the same platform as the Jazz and earmarked for the South American market only,

the funky looking WR-V, which according to Honda stands for Winsome Runabout Vehicle, will slot in below the HR-V in the brand’s SUV line-up, with customers who enjoy an active lifestyle and recreational activities being sig-nalled out as the main target audience.

Although little mechanical information was

divulged, it is widely rumoured that the WR-V will be equipped with the same 85kW 1.5-litre ex-fuel engine as the Jazz, with drive going

to front wheels through a ve-speed manual or CVT box.

Sales are expected to start in the rst half of 2017.

Set to make its European debut in March next year with local sales following lat-er, Audi released details of the cabriolet

versions of its new A5 and performance ori-entated S5 models.

8

Claimed to be one of the stiffest yet lightest drop tops in the segment, the A5 Cabriolet also ticks the scales at 40kg less than before

Luggage space is rated at 380 litres with the roof up although the soft top compartment moves down automatically when the roof is opened to improve capacity. A automatic tail-gate is also standard on the range for the rst time.

Inside the option of a 12.3-inch Virtual Cockpit Display, MMI Plus infotainment sys-tem with a 10 GB ash memory as well as Ap-ple CarPlay and Android Auto, Audi Drive Se-lect, 4G LTE, Wi-Fi hotspot, USB smartphone charging point and a 19-speaker Bang & Oluf-sen sound system with a 755 watt ampli er are available.

Initially, the A5 will be offered with a choice three engines in its home market; a 2.0 TFSI with 185kW 370Nm, a 2.0 TDI with 140kW and 400Nm and a 3.0 TDI making 160kW and 400Nm. A lower powered 2.0 TFSI with 140kW and 320Nm as well as a agship 3.0 TDI with a mammoth 210kW and 620Nm will be made available later.

Dropping the previous supercharged unit, the S5 now features a turbocharged setup with displacement still at 2,995cc, although power goes up from 245kW and 440Nm to 260kW with 500Nm.

Transmission options will consist of a six-speed manual, seven-speed S tronic or eight-speed Tiptronic with drive going to the front wheels or Audi's famed quattro all-wheel drive system.

A GROUP of courageous mountain bikers are set to make a powerful contribution to the fi ght against rhino poaching when they tackle the daunting task of cycling 340km from Hillcrest to Hilltop Camp in Hluhluwe Game Reserve.

The event, the 2016 uBhe-jane Xtreme MTB Challenge on Saturday 10 December, is a combination of endurance, ca-maraderie and a unique bush-veld cycling experience. "Two years ago, a small group of us were looking to test ourselves with a really tough mountain biking endurance challenge and so the uBhejane Xtreme MTB Challenge was born," said

event organiser, Mark Carroll."There is no entry fee. In-

stead we ask for participants to collect and make a minimum R5 000 donation to Project Rhino KZN."

While taking in the views and digging deep to overcome the event’s challenge, riders also remain focused on the key task at hand – helping the rhino’s cause. "Rhino conser-vation is something we are all passionate about and so from the get-go we aligned ourselves with Project Rhino KZN," said Mark.

The event starts at the Ca-dence Cycling Performance Centre in Hillcrest and cyclists

will head for Ballito before their trek towards the Hluhluwe Game Reserve.

"After a tough day’s slog, the unique opportunity to immerse one’s self in the African bush and its wildlife during those magical fi nal 35km through Hluhluwe Game Reserve is just indescribable," said Mark.

Global explorer and hu-manitarian Kingsley Holgate, world renowned mountain ad-venturer, Sibusiso Vilane, and Phil Liggett have confi rmed their involvement in this year's event.

To apply to enter or make a donation, visit the event’s web-site at www.ubhejanex.co.za.

Kearsney College’s top scorer, Levi Donjeany. PHOTO: Submitted

Kearsney pipped at post in last

basketball gameFOR Kearsney’s fi nal sports weekend of the year, they travelled to Pietermaritzburg to play St Charles. Both teams were unbeaten during the second half of the year and both were with-out their big men - St Charles was missing Phil-lip de Chamoy and Kearsney’s Thomas Wester-meyer was injured.

The game was always going to be a tight af-fair with both teams fi ghting hard to fi nish the season on a winning note. St Charles started well and took an early lead.

Kearsney made some adjustments and began to fi ght their way back by tightening up their defence and not allowing second chance scor-ing opportunities. Kearsney also began to fi nd their rhythm on offence and scored some good points.

The teams changed halves with Kearsney 37-31 ahead, but St Charles erased this lead in the third quarter, to fi nish 52-51 up.

Both teams had some of their best players sit-ting on the benches for long periods for fouling. The fourth quarter saw two of Kearsney’s start-ing fi ve fouled out, and the bench players were not able to fi ll the holes they left.

The game ended with Kearsney’s fi rst loss of the season 64-65. The return fi xture next term should prove to be an exciting game.

The 1st X1 cricket fi xture was cancelled due to the rain.

Alson Nzama

Alson sets the pace for 2017ALSON Nzama's passion for running was recognised by an award from the Hillcrest Villagers' Athletic Club for Club Runner of the Year.

The 44-year-old's journey into the sport started late last year and the fi rst race he took part in was the Forest Hills 10km. A few weeks later, he joined the local running club and soon after competed in the 42km race, Township to Township. "I've competed in many races this year, my fi rst ever Comrades Marathon which I completed in 12 hours, 46 minutes and 21 seconds. The Longest Day where you run for 12 hours straight and I clocked up 90.44km and came fourth, and then, the 161km Capital Classic in Septem-ber where I took second place," said Alson.

"Before last year, I never ran but my em-ployers, Pat Kaltenbrun and Jane Kruijsse, encouraged me to take part and they gave me advice on what to eat, how to train and how much running I should be doing," said Alson as he reminisced about his fi rst weeks of running practice. "I am so happy to have received this award from the club. It is just so exciting as I am new to running."

He wakes up early each morning to train before he heads off to fulfi l his role as a gar-dener in the Highway area.

His training regime consists of training twice a day, three times a week. Each time he hits the road each morning he clocks up about 20km of mileage and in the evening he runs between 16 to 18km.

"Before I started to run, I was sick all the time and then I started to constantly exercise and I could feel my body getting stronger and now I hardly get sick," he said.

The father of fi ve said he only sees his family in the South Coast once a week on Fridays, which is his day off. But during his spare time before his weekly visits he writes beautiful Zulu poetry.

"I remember during my second year of school, I was asked to enter a poetry com-petition and I received second prize for my work," he said.

He has his heart set on achieving greater heights in the running world next year, the fi rst of which is to increase his overall time at the Comrades Marathon.

"Next year I want to do better. I want to improve on my time in the Comrades Mara-thon, I would love to be in the top 10, but for now I am going to focus on getting a silver medal. I will enter even more races. Winning the cup has encouraged me to do better," he said.

"I am where I am today because of Pat Kaltenbrun and Jane Kruijsse. They have helped me, encouraged me, picked me up and pushed me to reach for my goals. Thank you as well to the Hillcrest Villagers' Run-ning Club for their continued support," said Alson.

Hillcrest Villagers Athletic Club Krieger crowned surfski series champion

Wade Krieger clinched the men’s series title of the Wall and Back series. PHOTO: Kevin Sawyer (Gameplan Media)

FORMER surf lifesaving ace turned surfski talent, Wade Krieger claimed this year's Illovo Suncoast Pirates Wall and Back Surfski Series men’s title on Friday evening.

The result saw Krieger, who also reigned supreme at race one and two and fi nished second at race three, clock up his fourth result of the series, quali-fying him for the overall standings while also earning him an unassailable lead over his nearest rivals.

“Even though Matthew (Bouman) and Hank (McGregor) weren’t there, I felt it was important to imagine that they were and try to push the whole way. I tried to keep my pace up right to the end, especially as the Pirates Wall and Back Surfski Series has been going for so long now and the faithful are al-ways there, having a good dig,” he said.

Krieger charged out the blocks and using the few small runs available on the way down to the harbour wall, re-fused to surrender his early lead.

Upon turning at the halfway stage, Krieger continued to push hard into the wind on the return leg as he raced home ahead of Steve Woods and Luke Nisbet.

In the women’s race Kyeta Purchase was unrivalled at the sharp end of the contest as she charged to her fi rst race victory of the series.

The sixth and fi nal leg of the series takes place at 5.30pm on Friday 18 No-vember.

Clifford Nel

CLIFFORD Nel will join the Pinetown Raiders Rugby Club for the 2017 season.

Clifford is an old Raiders' member and, after he gained a few years of experience at both pre-mier and fi rst division clubs, he has decided to share his knowledge with the local team.

Clifford was a coach for the U15 Rovers side in 2014, the Hillcrest U14 in 2015 and this year at UKZN for the U20 side.

He also had great success on a provincial level as he coached the U18 DRSU invitational team in 2013, the KZNRU Duikers U15 and U14 from 2014 to 2016. Clifford also coached at a school level at Hillcrest High School in U15 in 2015 and U16 this year.

"The 2017 season promises to be an exciting one as the club has decided to introduce an U20 side for next year as well as re-start the Colt teams for U13 to U18," said Clifford.

ALL avid players in the Pinetown and Highway area encouraged to join the Pinetown Raiders Rugby Club on Tuesday, 10 January. Training will be every Tuesday and Thursday from 5.30pm to 8pm.
