A GOOD deed by a Pinetown resident went vi-ral on social media, following a post from a con-cerned parent needing help last Wednesday.

Ivan Ikes, a Pinetown resident, was scrolling social media around 9pm when he came across a post on the Upper Highway Info page saying: "are there any doctors/nurses in this group?"

"The post explained that Albert Karimwe and Bianca Mutami's three-year-old daughter was ex-periencing high fever and that they needed help," said Ikes.

"Many people responded saying they should take their daughter to the doctor. My immediate thought was did they have transport?

"So I asked him and he said no. I then asked for his number which he sent to me and I com-municated with him through Whatsapp so I could get his address. I drove straight to their house in Mpola near Dassenhoek and found a couple with their daughter waiting for me just after 9.30pm."

Ikes wanted to take the little girl to a doctor. The family said they did not have medical aid or cash but Ikes sad he would gladly pay for the child's consultation.

He drove to the doctor but the doctor's rooms were closed.

He then drove to a pharmacy but they couldn't help and the pharmacist said the little girl needed to be taken to the hospital.

"Knowing that the parents couldn't afford the costs of a private hospital. I drove straight to King George Hospital in Durban. I had to lie to the hos-pital staff that the child lived up the road just so they could attend to her," said Ikes.

He stayed with the little girl, Angel, and her parents until she was fi nally admitted in hospi-tal before driving Albert back home to Mpola at 11.30pm.

Ikes only arrived home after midnight.Angel was discharged on Thursday evening and

her mother, Bianca Mutami said she is getting bet-ter now.

Angel was diagnosed with malaria which she contracted during a family holiday in Zimbabwe from 19 December to 7 January.

"I am very grateful to Ivan for his help. He's one in a million. When we posted the message on Facebook, we just wanted to fi nd out from parents how to treat our daughter who had a high fever. Ivan offered to take us to the doctor and even pay for the consultation.

Learn about effects of plastic wasteTHE Botanical Society of South Africa KZN Coastal Branch will presents an illustrated presentation on Microplastics in Durban’s fi sh – Why should you know, on Monday 30 January from 6pm.

The talk is by Dr Deborah Robertson-An-dersson, senior lecturer of marine biology and co-supervisor of MACE Lab at University of KwaZulu-Natal and is at the Durban Botanic Gardens Visitors Centre, John Zikhali Road (formerly Sydenham Road).

"Many people have read about or seen the re-cent plastic pollution ending up on our beaches, but not everyone knows what happens to plastic products when they degrade. As a semi-tropical coastal city, Durban has a large plastic pollution problem.

“This talk will illustrate the scale of the prob-lem, why you should know and perhaps start a conversation about how we can all make a dif-ference," said Sandra Dell of the Botanical Soci-ety of South Africa's KZN Coastal Branch

Ikes said 11 January was a signifi cant date for him.

"My son died on this date, and when I read the Facebook post that night asking for help, without a second thought, I knew I had to help," said Ikes.

STATISTICS South Africa (Stats SA) has warned the public against a scam where un-known individuals, posing as Stats SA offi cials, have been calling people asking for their per-sonal information.

In a statement by Stats SA said the scammers request personal information such as one’s iden-tity number.

“Stats SA does not request identity numbers from respondents when conducting surveys. Whereas we may use telephone interviews to collect information for some business surveys, Stats SA does not conduct household-based sur-veys over the phone.”

Stats SA urged the public not to divulge any personal information to anyone claiming to be a Stats SA representative over the phone.

All Stats SA fi eldworkers carry identifi cation cards.

Scam alerts

THE South African National Defence Force noted that false reports have circulated regard-ing the intake of new recruits at the Durban light infantry regiment for the Military Skills Devel-opment System.

According to Colonel Ronald Maseko, it is al-leged that individuals are taking in applications on behalf of the SANDF and are then requesting donations or payment for admin costs.

In a statement issued last week the Defence Force said, “All applicants, who have applied and are successful, are contacted individually on the year after their application.”

A DISTRAUGHT Westville resident believes she stumbled onto an alleged syndicate who steal and sell dogs, while look-ing for her missing Chow.

Moochie, a seven-year-old female Chow, went missing on New Year's eve and has not been seen since.

"I got home from work and she wasn't there. She broke through a windowpane in my bedroom. We immediately made posters, shared the in-formation all over social me-dia and I went to the Kloof and Highway SPCA. We still go looking for her every sin-gle day," said Bronwyn van Heerden, the owner of the dog.

Van Heerden said an em-ployee at the Caltex Atholl Heights Service Station in Westville North contacted her daughter, Natalie. He notifi ed

DRUGS to the value of R1 million were recovered in an eThekwini Inner South Intel-ligence driven operation, to-gether with Durban Organised Crime, Durban Metro Police and Shongweni K9, on Sunday, 15 January.

The team swooped on the 59-year-old dealer at his home in New Germany, Pinetown, where he was found in posses-sion of 164.4 kilograms of high-er grade dagga and 640 litres of benzine, which will be seized by Spiltec according to Priya

Nunkumar, communications of-fi cer for eThekwini Inner South Cluster.

"An eight-hour operation led to the arrest of the dealer who had been producing and supply-ing various different cannabis products from his Wehaus Street home.

“He has been charged for cultivation and distribution of dagga and appeared in Pinetown Magistrate Court on Monday, 16 January," said Nunkumar.

There have been allegations that the man was wrongfully ar-

rested, as he was producing me-dicinal drugs - cannabis oil - to treat cancer patients.

Durke Naude wrote: "So we arrest a producer of medicine and call him a drug dealer....let's arrest all pharmacists and doc-tors too then! #freeweed!"

An announcement was made in Parliament in November 2016 that access to medicinal cannabis for prescribed health conditions will soon be regulat-ed by the Department of Health.

"WE are shocked and saddened to know that pets are allegedly being stolen from our com-munity and housed at premises within our community. It is very important that these incidents are reported to the SAPS for further investigation to ensure the perpetrators are caught and charged accordingly.

"We urge all pet owners to be extra vigilant and make sure that their pets are kept safe and se-cure at all times. If you suspect that your pet has been stolen, please report the incident to the SAPS immediately so the matter can be investigated and a case opened.

“Thank you to members of our community who are always aware and ask questions when they are suspicious about inci-dences involving animals being sold."

CHEVRON South Africa confi rms that a forecourt attendant at Caltex Atholl Heights Service Station in Rodger Sishi Road, Westville North responded to a lost and found fl yer for a missing dog on 15 January.

Investigations indicate that a dog was found on the forecourt at around 5.30am.

A forecourt attendant at the service station called a telephone number on the fl y-er which had been distributed and a member of the public came to the service station at 8am to collect the dog.

It transpired that this was not the dog advertised on the fl yer. The dog was, neverthe-less, taken to a veterinary facility by the member of the public who alleges that the forecourt attendant requested

money in exchange for the dog.

Following this incident, an allegation has been made that a forecourt attendant offered to obtain and sell a dog to a member of the public.

Chevron and the fran-chisee at Atholl Heights Service Station strongly condemn such activities and steps have been taken to in-vestigate these allegations.

We understand that the al-legations have been reported to the Kloof and Highway SPCA and the Westville SAPS.

Chevron and the fran-chisee undertake to fully co-operate with any investiga-tion which may be instituted and to provide any evidence necessary to assist in such in-vestigation.

Moochie, a seven-year-old Chow, is still missing.

her that her dog was in their possession and they could go through and collect it.

"We went to the garage but it wasn't my dog they had there. It was a Husky. I told them that it wasn't mine but they said that I could still purchase it from them. They never told me the price.

"My daughter is quite strop-py so she just took the dog

from them and put it into our car. The attendants were quite angry with us. They kept call-ing us and telling us to take it back," she said.

The mother and daughter met with Lee Dailey of Pet Rescue Pinetown KZN.

"I had already scanned the dog and knew where it was from and who the owner was. A woman called them from the service station to say the dog belonged to her and we needed to return it. She could not give me the name of the dog so that I could test and see if it re-sponded," said Dailey.

Dailey noted that the dog's owners were in Ballito and she offered to drop their dog off at the Kloof and Highway SPCA.

"We assumed the dog had been stolen and did not want to take a chance by putting it back in their yard," concluded Dailey.


New station commander is a man of actionSanelisiwe Tsinde

DODGING bullets aimed at him did not stop Brigadier Mandla Mhlongo from pursuing his pas-sion to protect his community.

Mhlongo, who joined the po-lice force in October, 1986 has been appointed as Pinetown SAPS's new station command-er replacing Brigadier Bongi Sithole.

Although a man that com-mands respect, he is also ap-proachable and listens with in-tent to what one has to say.

He said love for the com-munity and fi ghting crime was what made him sign up as a po-liceman.

He joined the Umlazi police and went to college for training

in January 1987.Mhlongo worked at Secunda

Police Station as a constable after training, then worked at Standerton from 1991 to 1994.

From 1994 till last year, 2016, he has been stationed at Mthun-zini Police Station in Empangeni where he climbed the ranks.

In 1995, he became lieutenant and that title fell away after three months when he was promoted to a captain. He was appointed as the Mthunzini station com-mander in 1998 and in 2001, he was ranked superintendent.

From 2005 till 2016, Mhlon-go has been serving the police force under a rank of a senior superintendent until he was pro-moted to Brigadier on 1 January 2017.

"I want to see crime decreas-ing drastically and that would make me a really happy man," said Mhlongo.

With Pinetown known as Highway "crimetown", Mhlon-go said new strategies need to be urgently implemented.

"If one strategy does not work, then it should be changed. We cannot always be following the criminals, but as police, we need to be one step ahead," he said.

He added that he believed that action speaks louder than words.

Mhlongo said he does not do much in his spare time as his job is his life and it is where he spends most of his time.

He can be contacted on 082 417 5922.

Pinetown SAPS new station commander, Brigadier Mandla Mhlongo is passionate about his job and wants to see change.

WARD 13 councillor, Reginald Bouy Cloete, has penned his 2017 plans for Mariannhill.

As a Ward 13 councillor, he covers the following areas - Mariannridge, Lower Thornwood, Nagina Phase 1, Nagina Phase 2, Desai/Birchwood Park, Stundu Hill and Luganda.

Councillor Reginald Cloete said the community can contact him regarding the plans.

Call 073 272 9961 or e-mail [email protected]

Ward 13 councillor, Reginald 'Bouy' Cloete shares his plans for 2017.

THERE is currently a refurbishment project in Mariannridge which is be-lieved will be completed in 14 months, The renovation is to council property where residents are living.

Cloete said they will be replacing the abestos roof with a tiled roof, replacing existing windows with aluminium win-dows, tiling all the fl oors and installing new cupboards in the homes as well as replastering and giving the building a fresh coat of paint.

"In two weeks time, we will begin building 500 units - 400 low cost hous-ing and 100 medium cost housing for rent or to buy," said Cloete.

HE said in February, coun-cil plans to close Phase 1 of the housing project. There's only 20 houses left to build before the

Phase 1 project is closed and Phase 2 begins.

They are also repairing road damage on Thorn-wood Road.

"WE are expecting to begin the construction of a new community hall in the area in June. The old hall was burnt down 10 years ago. It was rebuilt but fell down again. The new fully fur-nished hall is expected to cost R9.2 million," said Cloete.

Luganda is a semi-township that uses VIP toilets which are currently full. The councillor said he plans to empty the 1520 VIP toilets be-fore the end of this month as well as working on a new sewer line. Cloete said he also hopes to build a high school in the area to accommo-date learners who travel long distances to high schools out of this area.

The councillor is also helping a group of women with their gardening project and re-cently connected a sprinkling system for their garden and donated a six-metre container for the soup kitchen.

STUNDU Hill lacks access roads and the coun-cillor hopes to build three new access roads and work will begin before the end of January.

Cloete also plans to build two gym parks in Luganda and Desai by the end of May. He added that there is currently a bulk water pipe (Western Aqueduct Project) being built from Mpola to Na-gina Phase 1 to provide water to the rural areas. This will take six months or more from now.

"We had a meeting with the human settlement department on Thursday 11 January and discov-ered two vacant lands. We are currently in ne-gotiations with the landowner to buy the land to build low cost housing in Sunshine, Stundu Hill and in Nagina Phase 1," said Cloete.

He said they are working hand-in-hand with the Mariannhill SAPS and the youth to start a project that will address drug abuse in the area and help the youth detox with detox programmes.


SEVENTEEN Koi from a pond at a landmark residence alongside the M13, also known as Shangai Lil, were found dead due to poor water quality.

According to Lisa Mörck, the PR and outreach offi cer at the Kloof and High-way SPCA, inspectors received a call from a frantic complainant who saw sev-eral dead fi sh fl oating in the pond while driving along the M13.

"Inspectors were faced with the tragic scene," said Mörck. "Dead Koi were fl oating on the surface of the water and others were gasping for air at the surface and were clearly dying."

She noted that local experts confi rmed

the cause of the death of the Koi was due to poor water quality. Seventeen dead fi sh were removed from the pond and another nine had to be euthanised due to their deteriorating health.

"Once the Koi started to die, the rot-ting carcasses poisoned the water further and this was the cause for even more deaths.

The SPCA had to deal with a number of cases like this over the festive sea-son," said Mörck.

Residents assisted the SPCA and 26 of the fi sh were rescued.

"We urge pet owners to be mindful of their animals while they are enjoying

their holidays. If you are not at home, please ensure that your pets are cared for by responsible people who are as vigi-lant as you would be," said Mörck.

She thanked those who assisted in the rescue of the Koi fi sh.

"Our resources and staff were stretched to the limits during this busy time and your assistance was invalu-able," she said.

Barbara Patrick, manager at the Kloof and Highway SPCA contacted the own-er of the fi sh who responded that he was saddened by the death of his fi sh, which he had cared for and looked after for a number of years.

Reward offered for painted monkey perpetrators

A monkey was painted red.PHOTO: Submitted

A REWARD of R1 000 has been offered to the fi rst person who can provide information that leads to the arrest and prosecution of those re-sponsible for painting a monkey red in the upper Highway area.

The one-year-old monkey was seen at the Mushroom Farm centre off Kassier Road, adjacent to the old Shongweni Market site in Assagay on Monday, 9 January.

Monkey Helpline founder, Steve Smit said tenants noticed the "red" monkey when it's troop made their regular visit to the Mushroom Farm to fi nd food.

"Mel, from the Safe Gas shop in the centre, immediately called Mon-key Helpline. We took a trap in the hope of catching the monkey but, as can be expected, she is very wary of anything resembling the trap in which she must have been caught to be painted.

"She fl ed into the tree tops the moment she saw us arrive with the trap."

Steve said they have worked hard these past few days to work out her movements and they now have a plan to set the trap in place at a suit-able spot before she arrives.

"We have no doubt that we will catch her, and then we can decide how to get the paint off her," said Steve.

"Legend has it that the trek boers of old would plant crops that were raided by baboons and monkeys, and to keep the animals out of their crops, they would trap an individual, dowse it in white wash, and release it to run back to it's troop in the hope that they would fl ee the area. This is

a myth that has been busted."In our fi rst-hand experience,

having already rescued a number of "painted" monkeys over the years, the exact opposite happens.

"Rather than fl ee, troop members attack and harass the painted animal, infl icting painful bite wounds and ostracise it. The painted monkey suffers both emotional and physical trauma and certainly does not fright-en its troop into running away from the area," explained Steve.

Ït is cruel, illegal and serves no purpose.

"People doing this to an animal should be prosecuted and severely punished. Monkeys painted with modern paints can easily die as a result and painted monkeys also be-come an attractive target for novelty shooters, using air guns or fi rearms.

An animal lover from Bluff, who asked to remain anonymous, do-nated R500 towards the reward and the other R500 was offered by Carol Booth from the Monkey Helpline.

Anyone who has information must contact Steve on 082 659 4711.

FOR those who love words and collecting quirky informa-tion, the book, The Wonder of Whiffl ing and other extraor-dinary words in the Engling Language by Adam Jacot de Boined, is a treat.

The author explored the beauties, oddities and hilarity of the English language from rural Engling counties and remote ex-colonies, from the jargon-loving armed forces to the schoolyard.

Did you know, accord-ing to legal statute, an idiot is an individual with an IQ of less than 20, an imbecile between 21 and 40 and a moron between 50 and 70’.

As you cast about for insults it may be worth re-membering these catego-ries.

But then the English language has never been short of slurs for the stu-pid.

Historically you could have been á clumperton, a dull-pickle or a fop-doodle, a jobbernowl or a goostrumnoodle.

What is striking about these weird words De Boined has discovered, is their descriptive sound. Cloop is drawing a cork from a battle, jarg is the cracking of a door or gate and whiffl e is a soft sound

Pinetown intersection to work as single junctionBIKERS, motorists and pub-lic transport drivers must note that new traffi c signalling has been installed on the Josiah Gumede and St John’s Road intersection in Pinetown and is now fully operational.

According to Sharlene Versfeld, publicist for the GO!Durban project, previ-ously the northern (where Key Pinetown is located)

and southern sides (where Nandos is located) of the intersection worked as two independent junctions hav-ing stop lines in the centre of the bridge. Cars had to stop halfway before proceeding through the intersection com-pletely.

Now the northern and southern sides of the inter-section will work as a single

junction. This means that now there

are no interim stop positions on the bridge.

"This new intersection has been created to allow for the underpass on Josiah Gumede to form part of the dedicated bus lane for GO!Durban, the City’s new integrated rapid public transport network," said Versfeld.

Motala Heights resident grateful for precious giftMOTALA Heights resident, Mana Govender received a precious gift just before Christmas from the community.

Mana had her leg amputated and was in need of a prosthetic leg to be able to walk again.

Kogie Pillay from Motala Heights and her team spearheaded a charity drive and managed to raise the R32 000 needed to pay for the prosthetic leg.

"Mana went to the surgeon on Sat-urday, 10 December 2016 and had a fi t-ting. We had a presentation and handed over the cheque of R32 000 to Mana," said Kogie.

Grateful Mana thanked everyone who helped raise the money. She said it was her Christmas gift and no other gift with the best wrapping with a bow on top would have made her happier than this prosthetic leg.

as of gently moving air or wa-ter.

According to the book, a gar-den mole was known in Middle

English as a mowdiwarp. A fuz-pig is a hedgehog and a bobbly-jock is a turkey.

There also seem to be words for very specifi c activities. A psychrolutist is one who bathes in the open air daily

throughout the winter, a cuddle puddle is a heap of exhausted ravens and a buff-ball is a party where everyone dances naked (who knew?).

A nice way to refer to a homeless person is to say he is ‘the key of the street’.

Beggars velvet is downy particles which accumulate under fur-niture from the negli-gence of housemaids and to fl isk is to remove cobwebs.

Some useful words for politicians are; a tyre-kicker who is a politician who discusses and de-bates but takes no action, a snollygoster is a politi-cian with no platform, principles or party prefer-ence and quockwodger is a pseudo-politician acting with the instructions of an infl uential third party.

The book, published by the Penguin Group, is fi lled with interesting sound-

ing words with often hilarious meanings.

‘Naked pics for cash’ scam victims urged to come forwardMORE than 200 people nationwide have fallen victim to the "naked pics for cash" scam that was blown wide open by South African Community Crime Watch (SACCW) last week.

According to Steven King of the SACCW, men and women, mostly from Durban and Gauteng, have allegedly been contacted via Fa-cebook and WhatsApp, either by an attractive woman or a man, who offers to send naked pic-tures in return for explicit pictures of the target.

"When the victim refuses to do so, images ed-ited or manipulated to look like the victim are sent to him or her, along with threats that the im-ages will be posted onto social media unless an immediate payment is made," said King.

He said investigations so far have revealed that it may be a syndicate at work, operating from Limpopo, and that multiple cellphone numbers were being used by the extortion gang.

"The victims of this scam range across all ages and professions, not just law enforcement offi cials, and the modus operandi seems to be the same. The perpetrator will take a photo of an attractive male or female off the net and use it as a profi le picture. The perpetrator fi rst contacts the target on Facebook and from there gains the cell number and the communication starts taking place on WhatsApp," said King.

He said the next step is to start up a conversa-tion, with the perpetrator offering to send a na-ked picture and asking for one in return. Some victims have sent pictures, which are then used for extortion, or if the victim has refused, the perpetrator photoshops the victim’s head onto a naked body.

"Threats are made to put these pictures onto social media. It is very embarrassing for the victim and payments that have been made were done via e-wallet or similar cash methods" said King.

King said SACCW is assisting the Hawks in Gauteng with the investigation and are urging people to open a case of extortion should this happen to them.

Contact any of the SACCW members: Steven King on 082 920 5799, Marius Jacobs on 079 898 4539, Lourens Smit on 084 317 4149 or e-mail Mike Venter SACCW Gauteng at [email protected], or report it to their nearest police station.

Pedestrian killed, nine injured in Pinetown taxi crashA 12-YEAR old boy was killed and nine people were injured in a taxi accident at the intersec-tion of Mariannridge and Adam’s Road in Pine-town on Friday, January 13.

According to Garrith Jamieson, operations director at Rescue Care, paramedics found that the taxi had left the roadway and collided with two pedestrians, before crashing into a swing structure.

"Paramedics found the 12-year-old child in a critical condition. They tried to stabilised him, however, his injuries were too severe and re-suscitation attempts were unsuccessful. He was declared dead at the scene," said Jamieson.

Nine other people suffered minor to moder-ate injuries and were stabilised before being taken to hospital.

It is unclear what caused the accident but po-lice are investigating.

THE jogger who collapsed and died on Everton Road bridge in Kloof on Saturday, 14 January has been identifi ed as 70-year-old Colin Kelly from Krantzk-loof.

According to his wife, Rose-mary Kelly, it is believed Colin suffered a heart attack while jogging on his usual Saturday route.

Colin was a commercial in-dustrial property broker and a wonderful man who was help-ful, fun and full of laughter.

"He was also a member of the Rotary Club of Inchanga for a number of years and in-volved in various projects but

mainly in charge of the coordi-nating marshalls for the annual Comrades Marathons. He also used to distribute dictionaries to younger children in under-privileged communities," said Rosemary.

Colin was a member of the Highway Athletic Club. He was in good health and walked every day at 5am and on Sat-urdays with his athletic group.

"On this particular Saturday, he was walking with his group but lagged behind a bit. The group always meets at a cof-fee shop after the walk. Alarm bells began to ring when Colin didn't pitch up, so members

of the group went back and checked on his car which was still there and then walked the route again and saw paramed-ics attending to him. But he had already passed away," said Rosemary.

Rosemary said he was an incredible man who will be survived by herself, their three children - Graham, Mark and Paul and their granddaughter in New Zealand.

She said arrangements for the memorial service had not yet been confi rmed on Monday.

Constable Ndumiso Man-qele, communications offi cer at Hillcrest SAPS, said an inquest

has been opened. Posts of a body found on

Everton Road bridge went viral on social media on Saturday, 14 January.

Andreas Mathios of SA Can confi rmed the incident and said duty offi cers received a call earlier in the morning that a person had collapsed on the Everton Road bridge.

He said it was unclear what caused the man to collapse.

"When paramedics arrived they found the man uncon-scious. At this stage it is un-clear what the cause of his death was and SAPS will in-vestigate," said Mathios.

Colin Kelly of Kranztkloof was jogging along the Everton Road bridge in Kloof on Saturday, when he suddenly collapsed.

Lloyd Mackenzie

TWENTY-THREE years after his father's tragic death in Mari-annhill, Paul Davis released his dad's fi rst-hand account of his time with the SAS during World War II.

Peter Davis was 72 years old, a war hero and a beloved commu-nity member when he was shot in the back of the head in his home in 1994.

The story, which was covered extensively in the Highway Mail, by its previous editor, Robyn Scott, described Peter as a man who never criticized, was fair, honest, had a wonderful sense of humour and was a friend to eve-rybody.

His murder was never solved.His death shook the family and

Paul was reluctant to let any of

his father's belongings go. A priceless heirloom was sto-

len during the night his father was murdered. A gold Omega watch with an inscription on the back which was gifted to his be-loved dad for 25 of years service at ICI.

"It is a very distinctive piece. I would recognise it immediately," said Paul.

The book was written after the war using the diaries that he kept and covered his time with the SAS from Africa to Sicily and the mainland of Italy between 1942 and 1943.

"I knew of the manuscript's ex-istence, but I was never asked to read it. Over the years it was for-gotten. After his murder I cleared out his house and his personal papers were stored until such time as it wasn't too painful to go through them," said Paul.

It was in 2012 when Paul came across the manuscript and read his father's wartime account for the fi rst time.

"At the age of 20 he was ex-periencing things and taking on responsibilities which I had never known about. I never re-alised quite how lucky he was to survive the war. When I read the book now, I wonder why he didn't talk about that time more. Perhaps the past was too painful."

Paul said the only time he can recall his father talking about his life during the war was when Pe-ter visited one evening years be-fore his death.

"He went into a little bit of depth of when a truck exploded that he was going to get onto. I remember him saying that if he had gotten onto the truck the two of us would not have been having the conversation," said Paul.

"Without a word the men began climbing into the trucks. To their delight, my lads found that the driver of one of the lorries was Mc Ninch, who, because of a bad foot, had been left out of the battle and had come up as a driver. Naturally they all wanted to travel in the truck driven by their old friend, and since no defi nite allocation of trucks to sections had been made, I saw no reason to prevent them from climbing in behind Mc Ninch.

"For at just the moment when the squad-ron was packed into the half-dozen or so trucks, which were parked nose to tail in that narrow side street, we were all trans-fi xed by the frenzied shriek of a heavy shell, which suddenly distinguished itself from the normal noises of battle, deafening us with the rush of its passage and seemingly sweep-ing the whole world before it."

The scene is one that could have been plucked up from a modern action movie and not one that could possibly have been wit-nessed by a 20-year-old.

Peter Davis's accounts are in-depth and, in a macabre sense, beautiful.

He was the youngest offi cer to serve in the SAS during World War II and it explores the diffi culty of a young, inexperienced of-fi cer leading seasoned soldiers.

Peter easily points out his mistakes and shows his growth and the steep learning curve he was forced to endeavour to ensure the survival of not only himself but of the men under his command.

"After my read-through I asked my wife, Lisa, for her opinion as I needed to see if someone else thought it was any good be-cause I thought it was publishable," said a proud Paul.

"In the book he is almost like an observer, always talking about other people being brave," said Paul about the humble nature of his father.

"He was awarded the Military Cross for a skirmish in France."

"I was really very excited and very proud of my dad. I think that he would be very pleased that the story is out there."

As an autobiography, it includes the day-to-day things that people in the army deal with intermingled with the mounting ten-sion, fear and the build up to a battle.

Know your alien invasive plant: Weeping bottlebrush


A Weeping bottlebrush or Callistemon viminalis tree. PHOTO: Pinterest

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

The Weeping bottlebrush's sci-entifi c name is Callistemon vimi-nalis.

Description: This alien invader may come as

a surprise to many people as it is commonly found in many gardens throughout South Africa.

It grows up to 8 metres in height and has pendent branches with leaves which are 3 to 7 cm long and 3 to 7 mm in width.

The bright red fl ower spikes, which are 4 to 10 cm in length and about 3 to 6 cm in diameter, occur between spring and summer.

Where does the species come from?

It is native to the states of New South Wales and Queensland in Australia where it often occurs along watercourses.

What is its invasive status in South Africa?

This is a Category 1b plant in the Eastern Cape, KwaZulu-Natal, Limpopo and Mpumalanga which means it must be removed from your garden to avoid prosecution.

It falls into Category 3 in Free State, Gauteng, North West, North-ern Cape and Western Cape.

A Southern African or Rock Python (Python natalensis). PHOTO: Nick Evans

THE Southern African or the old name, Rock Python (Python natal-ensis) is the largest snake species in South Africa. It can grow to over 5m in length. Nowadays though, few individuals reach that size.

Are they dangerous? They don't have venom, but they

have rows of sharp teeth, which can infl ict a painful bite. Only if you an-noy them, of course.

There have been a few recorded deaths from pythons (by constric-tion) in the past. They are incred-ibly powerful reptiles. But this al-most never happens these days, due to massive individuals being rare.

What do they eat? Well, just about anything small

enough for them. Rodents, hares, antelope (species as large as impa-la), monkeys, birds and maybe even monitor lizards and crocodiles. Livestock is also taken, which leads them to being slaughtered, unfortu-nately.

Do they occur in the Highway area?

Yes, although they're very scarce, and restricted to the wilder areas, such as Shongweni Dam and the Inanda regions.

They are far more abundant in

game reserves, where they are safe from people.

Pythons under threatThe Rock Python is a protected

species, meaning that it is illegal to kill them, capture, keep or sell them. Sadly though, this iconic species is killed in quite large num-bers each year. They're often killed on the roads at night, or killed by frightened people. Frustratingly, many are killed for the muthi trade (despite it not actually having any proven medicinal uses). The skins are also sought after. This is most frustrating for conservationists.

Being our largest snake species, it is an iconic animal, and this beau-tiful and very impressive reptile de-serves to be conserved just as much as any other.

If you're ever lucky enough to see one (which would most likely be in a game reserve), be sure to snap some photos of what would be a memorable moment. But, like with any snake, treat it with respect and keep a safe distance from it.

I missed the Westville nativity scene this ChristmasChristmas was defi nitely drawing closer – all the signs were there - traffi c had increased, school was out and children were excited, the shelves in the shops were groaning under the weight of extra food (and increased prices!) and carol services were being held around and about the Highway area.

But when was the beautiful and tra-ditional and much loved Nativity Scene going to be put up on the corner of At-

tercliffe road? Sadly, the one true reminder of what

Christmas is really all about - never took its place last year – and was so very missed by young and old alike.

We know that each year it has be-come harder to maintain the beautiful Nativity Scene, with criminal, and de-structive elements that have necessi-tated the cost of having guards joining the shepherds and kings keeping vigil

around the clock, but I hope that some-how, this year, we will be privileged to have our traditional scene restored once again – as a reminder of what we are really celebrating.

Thank you to everyone who has been involved with this structure every year – it has been so much part of our Christ-mas. Andree Wakefi eldWestville

Gratitude forgreat kindnessI WAS hoping to thank a husband and wife who helped me to get to the police station on Friday, 13 January.

They picked me up while I was walking to the station after having a domestic dispute with my partner. The woman then went on to get me a change of clothes from her home and gave my son of 15 months a banana to eat while waiting.

She then was going to help me further by getting me transport to court and then to my mom in Escombe. I did not get her name in all the time we were together. I would like to thank her and her husband, I am so grateful.LeToya and GracenPinetown

UMGENI Water’s largest sys-tem which supplies water to an estimated four million

consumers in uMgungundlovu Dis-trict, Pietermaritzburg and much of eThekwini remains under stress as the drought continues its fi rm grip on KwaZulu-Natal.

The system in question, Mgeni, comprises, in its upper part, Mearns Weir, Spring Grove Dam and Midmar Dam. The lower part of Mgeni system comprises Albert Falls Dam, Nagle Dam and Inanda Dam.

The levels of four of these dams are lower than they had been a year ago while the levels of the remaining two are marginally higher than they were a year ago to the day.

"Spring Grove and Mearns are small dams that empty out as quickly as they fi ll up. Mearns is currently overfl owing as a result of good rains in its catchment, which are Mooi River and the Drakensberg.

"Water from Mearns Weir ultimate-ly makes its way into Thukela River. Rainfall received in Pietermaritzburg and surrounds during the weekend of 5 to 8 January 2017 had no impact on the levels of Midmar, Nagle and Al-bert Falls dams as it fell outside of the catchments of these dams," said Shami Harichunder, corporate stakeholder manager, Umgeni Water.

Water scarcity in Mgeni system has been as a result of a prolonged period of below-average rainfall in the major catchments, culminating in the major dams, Midmar and Albert Falls, being at low levels.

Midmar Dam has been stabilised at mid-50 per cent as a result of transfer of water into it from Spring Grove Dam, as well as some rainfall.

"Of great concern to Umgeni Water is the level of Albert Falls, the largest dam in Umgeni Water’s operational area. Water is normally transferred into Albert Falls from Midmar, but application of this rule has had to be stopped because of inadequate water in Midmar."

He said declining water levels in Mgeni system has forced Umgeni Wa-ter to reduce by 15 per cent produc-tion of potable water at Midmar Water Treatment Works, DV Harris Water Works, Durban Heights Water Works and Wiggins Water Works and to also implement water rationing.

Water rationing and restrictions were implemented as a strategy to pre-vent possible failure of Midmar and Albert Falls dams.

"Mandatory water restrictions of 15 per cent have also been implemented in uMgungundlovu, Pietermaritzburg and greater Durban – the areas that re-ceive water from these water treatment works," he said.

Umgeni Water has issued a remind-er to all consumers that water restric-tions still remain in place in all of uM-gungundlovu, Pietermaritzburg and in about 80 per cent of Durban.

An appeal has also been made to consumers to use water sparingly.

Areas of Durban not affected by water restrictions are in the far north of the city. These areas are supplied by Hazelmere Water Treatment Works.

FAILURE of dams would have had dire consequences for the economies of Pieterma-ritzburg and Durban according to Shami Harichunder, corpo-rate stakeholder manager, Um-geni Water.

"Failure occurs when a dam dries up, leaving only silt in it. Failure of these dams has been mitigated by the application of restrictions, reduction in pota-ble water production and water rationing.

"In October and Novem-ber 2016 an estimated total 1 000mm rainfall was received in the entire Mgeni system. This is on par with the 20-year average for October and No-vember. However, rainfall re-ceived collectively in 2016, in 2015 and part of 2014 remains in a defi cit state – which means that the amount is far less than the average annual rainfall.

"In order for the situation to return to a state of normal-

ity – and major dams to begin rising signifi cantly – at least two seasons of above-average rainfall are required. Midmar and Albert Falls dams will have to reach levels of 70 per cent each before the resource in them could be considered to be adequate to meet the full needs of uMgungundlovu District Municipality, Msun-duzi Local Municipality and eThekwini Metro," explained Harichunder.

Forecasts by South Afri-can Weather Service and the Council for Scientifi c and Industrial Research suggest that if above-average rainfall is received, this is only likely to occur in the fi rst quarter of 2017.

This means that the amount of water available in Mgeni system will have to last until the next rains. Thus far, in the fi rst days of 2017, little rainfall has been received.

"If the predictions of above-average rainfall do not mate-rialise, the multi-stakeholder Joint Operations Committee for Mgeni system may have to consider requesting the De-partment of Water and Sanita-tion to increase mandatory re-strictions, from its current 15 per cent to, say 20 per cent or 25 per cent.

"This measure will only be-come necessary if good rains are not received. Adding to the current complex situation is prevailing high temperatures that cause evaporation of dam surface water.

"It is, therefore, imperative that disciplined use of water and strict adherence to the cur-rent restrictions continue. By practising water conservation consumers will assist in en-suring that some of it will be available for future consump-tion and until the next rains are received," said Harichunder.

Inanda Dam level is at 62% (measured on Monday, 9 January). It’s a decrease from last year’s 81%.

Do not water the garden everyday. Make your garden indigenous. Wash cars using a bucket instead of a hose pipe.

Do not leave the tap running when brushing your teeth or for any other ac-tivities; a two-minute shower is better that bathing in a bath tub.

Instead of washing clothes every day with a half load, wash every alternate day with a full load.

When washing vegetables, wash

them in a dish instead of under running water.

Read your meter on a daily basis to ensure there are no internal leaks in your property. If you are going away, close the main water valve.

When washing dishes, do not use run-ning water, rather fill the basin with water.

Report leaks to the Water Department call centre, use water sparingly and wisely and do not waste water in any way.

MR Deaf SA, Gerard Kroese said it was during his rugby career that he wished that he could hear.

"I really yearned to hear my team mates calling out for me and the crowd cheering.

Gerard was born deaf but it was only discovered when he was 10 months old.

He communicates by reading people's lips and wears two coch-lear implants which makes hearing and interacting with people pos-sible.

The 23-year-old from from Pre-toria recently moved to Pinetown because of his work.

He was crowned the fi rst Mr Deaf SA last year in October.

He said he did not known how to feel when he was announced the winner as he is a sportsman and has never entered a beauty pageant.

"It was all new for me but I was very happy because I entered the pageant as a platform to help and motivate deaf people."

Gerard said the competition was a bit tough and believes that the marketing he did for the pageant had a huge impact. He also won the public choice award.

"Taking part in the pageant taught me a lot of things and I had a chance to meet and interact with other deaf people. We were able to share our experiences and the chal-lenges deaf people face."

He said many deaf people are not up-to-date with the latest technolo-gies.

"I want to open their eyes and ex-pose them to opportunities. I have just recently bought a watch which is connected to my alarm and cell-

phone and helps me to hear the door bell. It's little things like this that help us. We miss out on many op-portunities because we are unaware of alternative methods and solu-tions that could help us in a hearing world.

"It does really makes life a bit diffi cult.

"In case of emergencies, the deaf also need to be accommodated to call or text an ambulance or the po-lice. I know that with technology, an 'SMS line for emergencies could be set up to get us help sooner," he said.

Gerard said his favourite sport is cricket, he played for the SA Deaf cricket team. He played in the team that represented SA last year in the Deaf Cricket World Cup held in Dubai.

He said his highlight was receiv-ing a trophy from AB DeVilliers after he was awarded South Africa Deaf Cricketer of the Year in 2016.

Gerard also enjoys athletics and competed in the deafl ympics in 2013. He played rugby when he was still at school.

He has a B.Com degree in Busi-ness Management, Honours in Logistics Management which he obtained from the University of Pretoria and has done short term in-surance course through Unisa.

Gerard will represent SA in Mr Deaf World held in the Czech Re-public in July and has been asked to be the brand ambassador for the Talk Sign campaign.

The former Pretoria resident said he is enjoying Durban as he loves the beach and the traffi c here is "nothing compared to Gauteng."

They spent a week’s honeymoon at the Los Angeles Hotel in Dur-ban in 1966, but slept over at the Howick Hotel on Christmas day on their way from Gauteng to Durban.

After living in Gauteng for 39 years, they relocated to Dawn-cliffe, Westville in 2005.

They were blessed with a son, George, in 1968 and four years later their daughter, Michelle, was born in 1972.

Many years later a lovely daugh-

ter and son-in-law, Celeste and Wayne were added to the family and four gorgeous grandchildren, whom they adore, were born: Brit-ney, Ethan, Madison and Payton.

Lawn bowls was their mutual interest for 23 years but Theo re-signed at the beginning of 2016 due to ill health.

The couple decided not to have a big celebration for their anniver-sary but instead their children ar-ranged something special for them, one night at the same Howick Ho-tel on Christmas day for them last year and in the same room as 50 years ago.

Unfortunately the Los Angeles in Durban does not operate as a hotel anymore.

Theo and Ann realised that they were able to experience 50 years together only through the grace of God and they believe that they are blessed for still being with each other after half a century.

GILLITTS residents, Melvyn 'Snowy' and Irene Suter cel-ebrate their golden anniver-sary on Saturday, 21 January.

The couple met while working for the same com-pany in 1966.

Irene was the secretary for the CEO of Bear Broth-ers and Snowy was one of the managers.

They met in October, got engaged in November and tied the knot at the Manning Road Methodist Church in Durban in January.

During their years to-gether, Snowy enjoyed many promotions in his career and had to move his family from Durban, to Ladysmith, back to Durban, then off to Cape Town before returning to Durban.

They lived in Westville for 14 years, then moved to Glenwood and various other homes in the Highway area before fi nally settling in Gil-litts.

Their fi rst child, Kevin,

was born in 1967, their sec-ond son, Guy, was born in 1969 and their daughter, Deb-bie, was born in Cape Town in 1972.

Irene ran a part time busi-ness from home while Snowy worked in Cape Town.

In 1989, Bear Brothers sold out to Steinhoff, how-ever, Snowy remained em-ployed there until his retire-ment in 1999.

Then Snowy got into min-istry at the Umbilo Method-ist Church. He became a lay preacher and both Irene and Snowy enjoyed every mo-ment counselling young mar-ried couples.

Snowy also enjoyed sport, specifi cally coaching rugby at Collegians in Durban.

He played fl ank as a junior Springbok in 1962 and joined the Springbok team in 1965.

Irene kept herself busy by doing crafts and her involve-ment in the church's feeding schemes and caring for their children.

She was also a good ten-nis player and enjoyed em-broidery and making Teddy bears.

"We've loved one another a lot - I have supported Snowy in his career, business and sport. I believe I was blessed to be at home and be there for our children," said Irene.

"I'm extremely grateful that God picked the right lady for me. And yes, there were times when I made it diffi -cult for Irene but she never gave up. She looks after me and has never stopped in 50 years," said Snowy.

Their advice for other cou-ples is to know when to say sorry and to get rid of the stubbornness, to try and be involved in a spiritual fami-ly-like church and also have lots of patience and honesty which they believe is the key to success.

They have eight grandchil-dren, Danna Grace, Matthew, Aiden, Caleb, Sam, Jade, Amber and Tileah.

Melvyn ‘Snowy’ and Irene Suter celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary this Saturday, 21 January.

CAXTON local media West

20 January 2017

By Gavin Foster

Two years ago some of the more poncy South African motoring journalists were enraged when Nissan launched their

budget Datsun Go because it was an insubstan-tial car that came sans airbags or ABS brakes, and scored zero out of ve stars in European crash testing.

Some scribes even refused to drive or evaluate the little cars because of what they saw as unac-ceptably low safety standards. I disagreed, because life always involves some informed risks, and I rather liked the Datsun for what it was because it came with a touch of soul that's often in short sup-ply amongst more expensive offerings.

Despite all the hoopla, the car sold and still sells well to people who don't care what the "experts" have to say. Many folk just want reliable, afford-able cars, and buy whatever they can afford that best suits their needs. In December Nissan sold around 1,528 cars across 13 models, and the Dat-sun Go made up more than a third of those sales.

Renault recently followed Nissan's lead by launching their Indian-built budget Kwid in South Africa, and on paper it looks like good value. There are two models, a base Expression at R119,900, and a slightly more upmarket Dynamique that re-tails for R10,000 more.

Both use the same 1.0-litre naturally-aspirat-ed three-cylinder engine that ekes out 50kW at 5,500rpm and 91Nm of torque at 4,250rpm, and the cars both come with ve-speed manual trans-missions.

The Kwid is not a bad looking little car, al-though the skinny little wheels and tyres look in-congruous when paired with the relatively high-rise suspension. When you open the door and peep inside things appear pretty ship-shape.

The interior, while made up largely of brittle plastics, seems as good as any in this price range, and there's a fair bit of space inside, front and rear, as well as an acceptably large boot for a little city car.

Renault's dangled some bait in the water in that the more expensive version comes with a 7" touch-screen multimedia system with Bluetooth, USB, AUX and MP3 playback, and, the cherry on top, a built-in satellite navigation system. Buyers of the lesser model have to make do with a radio with Bluetooth audio streaming, USB and AUX ports and hands-free cell-phone calls. Both models have air-conditioning and front electric windows.

HAVING dished out the good news we can move on to the bad. There are clues aplenty that the car is built on a tight budget. The seats are hard and at, the exterior mirrors can only be adjusted from outside the car, there's no adjustability at all built into the steering column, and sound-proo ng inside the very tinny body shell is virtually non-existent.

One can but presume that Renault had to make a lot of sacri ces to keep the weight down to a mere 693kg (or 695 for the more expensive ver-sion). There's a single airbag and no ABS brakes, which is what incurred the wrath of testers of the Datsun, and the car initially scored zero stars out of ve in NCAP safety testing, which was later upgraded to one star after the hasty addition of

the single airbag. Unlike the Datsun, I nd it dif cult to feel any

affection for the Kwid because it's simply awful to drive - underpowered budget cars should de-liver at least SOME driving satisfaction to get a stamp of approval.

The Renault feels like it's been built from left-over parts, none of which are really suited to the rest.

The engine, clutch and gearbox don't get along very well when stressed, and should you need to get going on a steep slope there seems to be much noisy con ict between them about who's sup-posed to do the work.

My house has a very steep uphill driveway, and I've reversed literally hundreds of test cars up it in

the last two decades. Never before has any vehicle been so unwilling to get the job done.

On the road things don't get much better. The steering is vague and imprecise, and this, allied with the car's tall stance, light weight and skinny rubber, makes things very interesting in a cross wind. The manufacturer claims a top speed of 152km/h but it'll take somebody braver than me to try and con rm that.

Add the very high noise levels and the lack of vigour when you put your foot down and it all adds up to a car that I couldn't recommend to any-body, even at the low price.

I see Renault sells between 500 and 750 of them a month in SA though, so my opening argu-ment has again been proven.

By James Siddall

The new Hyundai Tuc-son was a huge leap over its ix35 predeces-

sor - itself a justly popular vehicle. But what the range really needed was a diesel variant.

Well, this it got late last year, with not one but two tur-bodiesel models added to the range in the guise of a two-litre automatic model, and a 1.7 manual.

I've just spent a week with the latter and it's everything a good turbodiesel should be: smooth, silky, torquey, and polished.

This machine is built in Hyundai's high-tech factory in the Czech Republic, and is ultra-clean burning, meeting Euro 6 regulations, while rath-

er usefully service intervals are at 30,000km - something almost unheard of for a diesel.

Output is a healthy 85kW, with 280Nm of torque between 1,250 and 2,750rpm, with power running to the front wheels via a six-speed manual. Fuel consumption is pegged at 6.8 litres per 100km.

As with the rest of the Tuc-son range it's an attractive, well-built vehicle this, roll-ing on comely 17-inch alloys. Standard equipment is gener-ous for this price point, and in-cludes electric seats, dual-zone climate control, cubbyhole cooling, cruise control, and a rearview camera displayed in the rearview mirror.

Your money also gets you a sound system with Bluetooth and six speakers, while safety is well taken care of - which

is doubtless why the Tucson scores a full ve stars in the European New Car Assess-ment Programme (NCAP), with a host of active and pas-sive safety measures.

Ride and soundproo ng is top notch, and on the move this Tucson feels distinctly premium - which it doubtless needs to given that it trades in a highly competitive segment that includes the excellent VW Tiguan, the Renault Kadjar, and its own stablemate, the new Kia Sportage.

Much is also made of du-rability at Hyundai, and this machine comes standard with a a ve-year/150,000 manufacturer's warranty, a seven-year/200,000km driv-etrain warranty, and a ve-year/120,000km service plan.

Yours for R439,900.

The bad news is that there will only be 400 Golf GTI Clubsport S

units produced and the 47 al-located to South Africa have already all been sold.

Volkswagen describes this model as the most power-ful Golf GTI ever. It sports a power output of 228kW and holds the lap record for a front-wheel-drive production car on the Nürburgring Nordschleife race track with the time of 07:49:21.

The Golf GTI Clubsport S comes with a setting for the Nürburgring Nordschleife race track which can be set using the standard Dynamic Chassis Control (DCC) driving pro le selector.

To keep the weight down, it is only available in a manual

transmission. Additional com-ponents that were removed to reduce weight include rear seats, insulating material, the variable luggage compartment oor, the rear parcel shelf and

bonnet damping. A smaller battery is tted to reduce the weight further down. An alu-minium subframe on the front axle and aluminium brake cov-ers resulted in further weight savings.

Some exterior details in-clude semi-slicks mounted on 19-inch black painted "Preto-ria" alloy wheels, tinted rear windows, black painted roof, Xenon headlights with corner-ing lights and LED daytime running lights.

Each of the 400 Golf GTI Clubsport S units have its pro-duction number (001/400 to

400/400) on the ashtray cover. It also includes racing bucket seats, GTI insignia, iconic golf ball gear knob with Velour trim and Velour-trimmed sport steering wheel with a chrome GTI emblem.

Various aerodynamic en-hancements assist in better driving stability while new body styling features make it a unique GTI.

A special sport chassis also helps neutralise the understeer and at the same time boost grip levels. Braking performance has also been perfected allow-ing the driver to brake into bends in a controlled way, without losing driving stabil-ity.

Westville Boys High old boy, Blaze Baker (19), set

racetracks alight last year in the South African Super 600 national motorcycle circuit racing championship.

Riding an unfancied Suzuki GSX-R 600 the Varsity Col-lege student draftsman won

two and took a total of 12 podi-ums from the 14 races making up the championship last year. Tellingly, the last four rounds harvested him two wins, a sec-ond and a third. Because of the huge costs in racing and getting to the various tracks, last year his only races were in the na-tional championships.

This year he'll be riding for the Uncle Andy Racing Team on a Suzuki once again. In his rst three years - two on Ka-

wasakis - he nished the title chase in 13th, fourth and now second place, and after his grand nale in 2016 he looks like he's in with a good chance for '17.

Blaze Baker finished second in the SA Super 600 national racing championships 2016.Pic by Andre Laubscher.

Road Report 8Road Rep

Alfa Romeo

By Miles Downard

The very rst car I ever wanted was an Alfa Romeo, more speci cally a GT Veloce which is more commonly, albe-

it it incorrectly, known as a Junior. A teacher at my primary school had one; tatty it was, but that shape caught my attention in a way no other car ever had. And if that doesn't put me rmly in the 'petrol-head' camp I don't know what's come of the world.

Years past, taste changed, but my love for Alfa Romeo has never wavered. In fact I re-cently joined the owners club having acquired my very own 156 GTA.

I know it's not the best car ever built, in fact far from it. The front bumper is so low it kisses every blemish in the road surface, the shock absorbers are lled with concrete, the interior has all but disintegrated and the once deep, rich rosso corsa (racing red) has not fared well in the South African sun. But I don't care; there's a human element to every Alfa Romeo that only the owner can appreciate - in the same way a mother loves her children regardless of any aws.

The company itself has been through a pe-riod producing vehicles that perhaps fell short

of the world's expectations from something wearing a badge steeped in such a tremendous history. Fiat, the parent company, has chopped and changed its plans for Alfa more than pre-mier league teams change managers. This hasn't helped.

A couple years ago that all changed. With a clear vision and the money to back it up Alfa Romeo announced that its entire line-up would be overhauled. The biggest change being the return of rear wheel drive - the Holy Grail to any driving enthusiast. Housing the new driv-etrain would be a proper saloon body, with all the right underpinnings. Music to my ears.

The rst of that new line up recently hit our shores, last week to be exact. Called the Giulia Quadrifoglio Verde (or QV for short), this is the pinnacle of saloon car motoring. Crafted in a manner only the Italian's can achieve, there's not an angle nor pro le which isn't pleasing to the eye.

But good looks aren't the end of this story. Under that sculpted bonnet lies a Ferrari de-rived 3.0-litre V6 with two turbochargers to deliver a gob-smacking 380kW and 0-100km/h in just 3.9 seconds. Eat that in your BMW M3.

There's all-aluminium suspension with an extremely sophisticated double-wishbone 'semi-virtual steering axis' setup at the front. Aluminium is used extensively through the body shell too, keeping weight down to give nimble handling. Helping that along is a steer-ing rack claimed to be quicker than any rival.

A transaxle arrangement (ie gearbox at the back) gives ideal weight distribution together with a proper dual clutch torque vectoring lim-ited slip diff. There's carbon bre bits too, used for the propshaft, roof and bonnet. Brakes are carbon ceramic, if you so wish.

The body will generate proper downforce with an active splitter at the front, while at the rear you've got a huge diffuser. All of this has lead to the Giulia QV setting the fastest ever time for a saloon car around the famed Nürbur-gring, by some margin too.

I think this car has me just as excited as the day I saw my teacher's GT Veloce back in Grade 1 - and that's what motoring is all about. To the 45 lucky customers who are now taking delivery, enjoy every minute.

‘The biggest change being the return of rear wheel drive - the Holy Grail to any driving enthusiast’

HIGHWAY'S Patrick Harris and Jer-emy Kriek added yet another trophy to their expansive collection with their unbeaten performance in the Flying Fifteen Match Racing hosted by Point Yacht Club at the weekend.

The team, which has been sailing to-gether on Flying Fifteens for 15 years, kept their nose in-front of all their competitors in every single race as they crossed the line on race day.

Skipper, Patrick Harris said, "There was only once that we were chasing down another boat, and that was on Saturday when Campbell and Andrew had a superb start. The whole weekend was fantastic.

“Saturday’s conditions were testing with the light breeze and Sunday was blustery as the wind came through in big gusts."

Seven fl ights of racing started with two races in each fl ight. The fi nal fl ight was sailed on Sunday morning as the breeze built to a decent 12knots for the fi rst race.

The top four teams then went into the semi-fi nals and the winners meet-ing in the fi nal. Patrick and Jeremy met Thomas Funke and CJ Milln in the duel for gold and silver.

From the get-go the two teams showed off their knowledge on the wa-ter, with a determined cat-and-mouse

scenario playing out from the moment the fi rst fl ag was raised.

"Going up against Thomas in the fi nal, who has so much international experience, was exciting. He was com-pletely on the ball," said Patrick.

The duo have their eyes set on the Flying Fifteen World Championships in Ireland in two years’ time, "Jeremy and I have competed in two world champs, in 2007 in Spain and then in Hayling Island in 2011. If the bodies are able, then we are keen."

The next big event for the dinghies is the Bar Anniversary Mug at the end of the month, with the yachts taking part in a feisty pursuit race.

THIS week I share the following letter sent to me and Highway Mail.

I cannot condone your decision to dedicate a regular article to the cruel “sport” of fi shing, The Highway Mail 13 January 2017, which is almost as unacceptable as hunting. To glorify the act of luring a fi sh to swallow a hook concealed inside a morsel of food, yank it out of it’s natural environment by it’s mouth with it’s full weight hav-ing no support of the water, deny it it’s natural way of “breathing” for a pro-longed period, rip the hook (complete with barb) out of it’s mouth causing injury, then posing with it for photo-graphs is beyond my comprehension.

To teach a child to love and respect all animals should be the norm rather than teaching them this is acceptable behaviour and fun.

Then to top it all to state that the fi sh was returned to the water “to fi ght another day” is also sick as who knows what trauma that fi sh endured, whether the injuries infl icted healed or for how long that poor animal lived is unknown.

Animal Lover. HillcrestThank you for your views on the

sport of angling. This makes me appre-ciate the views of others and an under-standing of where the sport of angling is heading.

I have been involved in angling at a provincial level and we run competi-tions on a no kill basis. We even get pe-nalized if the catch is not released alive and resuscitated. We do not kill our

catch, but most times tag and release.The tag and release programmes are

designed to assist scientists for infor-mation they need to study migratory patterns and fi sh stocks. This in turn will help to create sustainable fi sheries for generations to come.

Commercial fi shing is a reality, as it supplies a much needed food source. If we as sport fi sherman can assist to preserve fi sh stocks, we will fi nd ways to help.

Most sport has some sort of effect on nature as angling does. Trees are destroyed to create cricket bats. Wild life, insects and birds suffer because their natural environment is destroyed to make way for golf courses. I could carry on and fi nd some sort of negative impact that man has in the pursuit of the perfect sport.

We fi ght to stop the abuse of de-stroying the oceans that affects the fi sh that we appreciate. Sewage, chemicals, plastic and other toxins that are pour-ing in the ocean, destroying, what God created to be appreciated and looked after by all of mankind?

The sport of fi shing (the most popu-lar sport in the world) has people like yourself and the sports fi shing frater-nity, who care and fi ght to preserve our fi sh stocks and the absolute miracle creation, THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SEA.

HAVING been frustrated by weather in the recent past, Pine-town Cricket Club’s teams were eager to get in some game time this past weekend and Sunday's action saw the club record a clean sweep of victories with the 1st XI, 2nd XI and 3rd XI', all registering wins over their op-position.

The 1st XI took on a tricky Delta outfi t at Lahee Park need-ing to win the clash to stay in touch with the top two teams in the league and despite getting into a world of trouble early in their chase a resilient 77 not out from the returning Ben Comp-ton, who carried his bat through the entire innings, got the hosts across the line.

Having lost the toss the upper Highway men were given the task of bowling fi rst on a good wicket and they would have been happy with their start with the ball as they pinned Delta back with a few early strikes leaving them 57/3.

Delta got a partnership to-gether which threatened to take the game away from Pinetown, however, when one part of the blooming partnership retired hurt, the hosts again pinned back the side from Tills Crescent.

The fi nal ten overs was go-ing to be crucial for both sides as Delta eyed a total of over 220, however, off spinner Nick Tatham picked up 6/36 in seven overs at the death of the innings to curtail the visitors pursuit of over 220 and saw them settle for 207/9 in fi fty overs.

The chase started poorly for the hosts as they slumped to 54/5 inside fi fteen overs. Signifi cant contributions from captain Kyle Buckthorp (37) and a brilliant

unbeaten 43 from Andrew Dyer saw the home side home by four wickets.

Pinetown 2nd XI took on UKZN 2nds in a must-win game for the highway side who, after several rained out fi xtures in the fi rst half of the season, fi nd themselves at the bottom end of the Premier Reserve table.

Captain Matt Helm lost the toss and PCC were asked to bat fi rst on a tricky wicket.

After losing their opener Cayle Marillier in the 5th over, Gareth Wessellman and Brandon Heim set about negotiating the opening bowlers and managed to scrounge out a 30 run partnership before Heim fell.

PCC’s resuscitation came in the form of a patient 30 from Gareth Wessellman along with some blows from captain Helm, debutant Ryan Smith and Rue-ben Naicker towards the end Pinetown put up a competitive 150.

The bowlers needed to apply themselves and catches needed to be taken – the Pinetown team did neither, and it took 3 dropped catches and several hacks from the opening batters before the bowlers and fi elders found their rhythm and four wickets fell to Helm and Naicker in the opening 11 overs.

Some well controlled bowling from the men in green ensured that the last wicket fell with UKZN still 19 runs short.

The 1st XI travel to Asherville to take on a strong Clares outfi t while the 2nd XI take on Crusad-ers at Lahee Park and the team will be looking to secure a rare double over the Durban North team after beating them at home in their last outing.
