LIMITED job opportunities and retrench-ments have resulted in high unemploymentrates and this means many parents are notable to meet the educational needs of theirchildren.
The cancellation of grants and the lack ofsupportive resources also contribute to par-ents’ inability to provide their children withtheir basic educational needs.
Child support grants cater for children upto the age of 17 years. According to the newChildren’sAct, children can attend school upto the age of 21 years.

Moreover, we are often convincedthatifwehadthose‘things’,wewouldfinally be happy.
Forexample,singletonswhowantto be in a relationship often believeonce they are in one they will finally

“IwillbehappywhenIamin love.”“I will be happy when he or she doesreally loveme.” “Iwill behappywhenI knowheor she is committed tome.”
“Iwillbehappywhenmyhusbandor wife is more considerate.”
Do these sound familiar?Thetruthisthathappinessisanat-

LETTERSTO THEEDITOR
IF youareacorporatewage-slave,you may sometimes rockyourselfto sleep while lamenting an eight
to 12-hour work day.While weeping like a heartbroken
virgin, you will undoubtedly realisethatyouronlyagenda is toeithersavemoney for somerichbastardormakemoney for some rich bastard.
And if you are a non-drinker, likeme, your only escape from the plightof padding some capitalist’s puffywallet is probably books, the gardenor television, because smash-and-grabs are simply not profitable any-more.
Once you’ve read your book quotaand realised your plants are happier
without your rendition of Jimi Hen-drixhits, the only place youare likelyto find any solace may be in front ofthe television.
And it is here where you will no-doubt partake in randomand seem-ingly endless channel flicking in thehopes of finding something, any-thing, which does not resemble abig, steaming cow-poo.
Avoiding the excrement has be-come an increasingly difficult task,given that pay-TV in particular ap-pears to have a fetish forbullsh*t.
This ismostnoticeable intheir‘re-ality’ offerings, with one of the moreperplexing in this genre being any-
thing to do with the paranormal.Haunted houses, possessed peo-
pleanddemonicdachshunds– throwthe word ‘paranormal’ or ‘psychic’into the mix and you are sure tohave a salivating audienceofmentalmidgets waiting to be astounded byhowintense the latest episode ofPsychic Potato Pickers is.
I stumbled on such a programmeover theweekendwhiledoingabelu-ga-whale impersonation on thecouch.
Such was my horror at the supposed horror I should have felt thatwaves of paranoia engulfed me. If Iwatched the entire episode, wouldmy frontal lobe be rendered as bar-
renasthewombofabiblicalheroine?I watched, I yawned, I ate, I
yawned, I frowned, I yawned, Istrummed my air-guitar, I yawned.
I finally reached the end of theprogramme and felt chills scuttle upand down my spine as it became ap-parent that there was another epi-sode after that, and another.
It was a supernatural omnibusworthy of a Stephen King wet-dream.
Now, as you will know, gentlereader, televisionofferingsof thepar-anormal are made to formula, as iseverything that carries a ‘reality’label.
And that paranormal formula
will, at some point, include a shakyhand-held camera,night-visionvide-oing, faint groaning (often from theaudience), a team of hunters-of-the-supernatural and more indecipher-able syllables than a drunk teenager.
Those unintelligible noises willsound like static to you and me, butto the telekinetic-wannabes hiredfor the show, translation is easywhen using something akin to awalkie-talkie, connected to a 1995Blaupunkt stereo, connected to anegg-beater, connected todisco lights.
Thus while you and I will hearstatic, the telekinetic-gurus will hear“Leave this house now or die weakhuman scum”.
Imust confess that Iwas unable todecipher thesoundtothisextentdur-ing the omnibus,withmy translationcoming out as “Your nipple is on firein the apple orchard bran muffin”.
This, I think, is proof that if myhome is to be haunted one day, itwill bebyapervertwitha faulty colonwho desires fibre-rich foods.
My story, I believe, will make arivetingreality show,which Dstv willno doubt snap-up and snuggle be-tweenPsychic CEOs andParanormalPawn Stars.

JOSEPH Mathunjwa, AMCU presi-dent, is once again going to adhereto the mandateof his membersat Im-pala Platinum Mines to embark onstrike action.
The union is rejecting the gold sec-tor’s wage offer increase of eight percent.
The union isdemandingaR12500monthlywage forunderground work-ers and R11 500 for surface employ-ers.
The union boss seems to beunderpressure from his members, withsome threatening to break-away and
form their own union.There have been allegations by
members that Mathunjwaisenrichinghimself at the workers’ expense,which he refutes.
Whatever the reasons and mitigat-ing factors, the burning question iswhether SA is ready foranother strikewiththerand at afive-year low tradingat R10.90 to the dollar. The price ofpetrolhas increasedwithanotherhikelooming in February.
Impending strike action by Amcuwill put even more pressure on ourcurrency as investors scramble to
withdraw their investments and lookat more stable markets.
Any further depreciation of therand will warrant intervention fromthereservebanktoprotectourcurren-cy. The downward spiral of the randhas a knock-on effect on prices,whichfurther puts pressure on the poor toeke out a living. Can other dead-lockmechanismsbeused toavert strikeac-tion?
An amicable agreement favouringboth parties needs to be negotiated,but is this possible?

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Strike at the rand’s peril
WATCHING news reports and reading storiesabout matric caused a time of reflection forme last week.
I completed my schooling life in the early
90s and it seems like I schooled in anothercountry.
Firstly, the requirements and pass rateswereextremelyhigh,whichisnotabadthingconsidering we were about to be unleashedinto the working world.
Secondly the feeling of seeing yourname in the paper meant you passed andcould enter tertiary education because itmeant you received good marks.
Today, you need thirty per cent to pass,which means you could get an E aggregate.
Pupils don’t have a high target to aim for
and yet it is still a challenge to achieve.This was unheard of in the 90s.I am extremely grateful to have complet
ed my schooling then.However I would like to write one of the
matric papers to see if I would have passedwith straight A’s if I wrote in the exam in thisdecade.
It scares me because these pupils areprobably not ready for the next stage in theirlives. Matric is the tip of the iceberg.

THE Ballito Council Chambers are finally getting a muchneeded revamp.
This project has been on the agendaand suggested by rate payers for manyyears now.
KwaDukuza Municipality spokesmanSifiso Zulu said the progress to date includes the appointment of a contractor,
who has commenced with work.The contract period is six months. He
said the vehicle licensing section, finance,building control and town planning haverecently been relocated from the BallitoCouncilblocktotheSaltRockMunicipaloffices to accommodate this.
Residents needing to make use of anyof these departments must go to the SaltRock offices next to the library until furthernotice.
These divisions were off line for a fewdays due to 'initial problems with the network cables being stolen and damaged on
two occasions'.“But this has been sorted out and all
is up and running at the moment. We arestill experiencing some challenges withTelkom for the installation of the telephone lines which will be fixed shortly,”said Zulu.
The 'serious upgrade work that neededurgent attention' at the Ballito offices includes:removaloftheroofabovetheexisting first floor; removal existing roof sheets,trusses, purlins and ceiling.
Once complete, contractors will installa new roof and ceiling. The roof above rear
sectionofgroundfloor willundergoremoval of existing roof sheets, trusses, purlins
and ceiling. A concrete roof slab will thenbe built to act as a future floor slab.

Astragetsa re-boot
>> New sedan’s design is set to attract the styleconscious
THE allnew Opel Astra sedan has been releasedin South Africa, marking the return of Opel’s Csegment sedan and the addition of four new
models to complete the Opel Astra range.The new sedan, which is based on the Opel Astra
hatchback, arrives on South African shores with gunsblazing and a sculptural design which is set to attractthe styleconscious minds and eyes of compact sedanbuyers.
“The arrival of the Astra sedan to South Africa issignificantforGMSouthAfricaasitcompletestheOpelAstra range and supports our efforts to rejuvenate andstrengthen the Opel brand in this market,” says OpelBrand Manager at General Motors South Africa, ChrisCradock.
“This allnew model brings with it an extension –literally – of the chic style and premium quality whichthe current Astra hatch range ushered in back in 2010,the sedan of course offering superior luggage spaceand a similarly beautiful design. We expect brandconscious South Africans to develop a weakness for theOpel Astra sedan once again, and we have no doubtsthat the new Astra sedan will impress on all fronts.”
The new Astra sedan follows the more upmarketand contemporary design cues first seen on the refreshed Opel Astra hatch earlier in 2013. Featuring thesame suave front end, the new Astra sedan builds onthe design success of the range with the same sleek,smooth lines beginning at the nose, where a premiumlook and feel which begins with chrome details in thegrille and air dams converges into strong characterlines which escalate sharply into the steeplyraked Apillars.
The clean, fussfree flanks of the vehicle exhibit acontemporary air, the gradual shoulder line rising subtly from the side indicator adding a muscular sense,which is complemented by the signature Opel designswathe above the side sills.
The slim side window profile joins these design elements in emphasising the length and sleekness of thenew Astra sedan – interrupted only by stylish alloywheels on all models.
By far however, the new Astra sedan’s best attribute is its new boot – which integrates well into theoverall design without looking bulky or out of place.
Crafted according to Opel’s latest design languageand featuring prominent tail lights, an integrated bootspoiler and a smart, chromeplated exhaust outlet,the additional metalwork has been expertly integrated into the existing Astra shape, which is now 230 mmlonger in sedan form.
Fulfilling their visual appeal requirements brilliantly,thetail lightsinparticularemphasiseclassandquality with underlying safety benefits as well, where largeelements and bright lighting contribute to enhancedvisibility, besides giving the Astra sedan a completelyunique rear look, especially at night.
Much like the hatchback versions of the Opel Astra,the new sedan boasts a beautiful and ergonomicallysound interior. With either cloth or leather upholsteryavailable depending on the model, all derivatives benefitfromasolid,upmarketcabinwithqualitymaterialsused in all areas.
The new Opel Astra arrives in South Africa with afourmodel range which encompasses three differentpetrol engines and three transmissions for a broad
spectrum of choice and value. All three engines are importantly part of Opel’s ECOTEC® engine family andall subscribe to Euro 5 emissions regulations.True to the Opel badge, the new Astra sedan range
has been developed to provide communicative yetcomfortable ride characteristics – ensuring the driveris always confident behind the wheel while all occupants enjoy a smooth ride.

“I’ve told myself that I need to beindispensable tomytribeatchalleng-esand if Imake it to individual immu-nity challenges thenmygoal is towinat least two of them.”
Sheik said he entered the show toenjoya“holiday”withformerSpring-bok rugby player Corné Krige andBafana Bafana legend Mark Fish.
“Iwasgroundedafteramotorbikeaccidentandinabadplacefromamo-
rale point of view, so a very goodfriend suggested thatmaybe I shouldtake a break and go away on holiday.When I saw the ads on TV I figuredwhy not!”
InSurvivorSouthAfrica:Champi-ons, Fish and Krige will lead twotribes through the trials and tribula-tionsofa lifewithout luxuriesonade-serted island in the South China Sea.While the captains can’t be voted off,they will undoubtedly try to outper-form each other.

NGABE kungcono ukuba oso-politiki noma abaholi bezom-busazwe bahlale bebangisa-
na ngokwenza izinto ezinhle, ngez-inhloso ezinhle. Angingabazinakancane ukuthi ukuba babanalomdlandla wokwenza izinto ez-inhle ngesikhathi kuqala umbusowentando yeningi ngo-1994, izingalentuthuko liphezulu kakhulu.
Ake ucabange nje ukuthi umaamaqembu ezepolitiki engamaneakhele abantu izindlu ngaphandlekokulindela uHulumeni, ngabe ban-gaki abantu abangenazo izindlu.
Nanxa ingeke iphele imijondolonoma imikhukhu ngenxa yezizathuezahlukene, ngikholwa wukuthi ng-abe ababaningi ngalendlela ababan-ingi ngayo abantu abahlala emijond-olo nasemikhukhwini.
Inkinga isekuthini izinhloso zala-ba abagcina ngokuklwebhananokushawodana uma bakhela aban-tu izindlu njengoba sibonile kulezizinsuku ezedlule, kusuke kunge-sikhona ukwenza okuhle kubantuabahluphekayo, kodwa kungezinyeizinhloso.
Yebo, bayasizakala labo aba-
khelwa izindlu ngoba asikezwa uku-thi bazokhokhiswangazo.Ngakhokekufanele babongwe labo abaza-khayo. Kodwa okwenza kube nzimaukubabongaukuthi kubonanenganeencane ukuthi inhloso yabo akukho-na ukusiza abahluphekile.
Imibuzo efika ngokushesha umakucutshungulwa indaba kaMnuz Ju-lius Malema, ngethi luqhamukaphilolu ‘thando’ olungaka lokuthi aboneumndeni ohluphekayo odinga indlueNkandla?
Abekho yini abadinga izindlungakubo? Nakhona eNkandla yiniedale kube ngumndeni oseduzekomuzikamengameliwezwe,uMnuzJacob Gedleyihlekisa “J.Z.” Zuma?
Kukhona mhlambe ozophendulangokuthi yilowo nalowo unelungelolokusiza lapho ethanda khona. Ku-lungile.
Kodwaomunyeumbuzooqhamu-kayo uthi ngesikhathi esamemezakuzwe izwe lonke ukuthi yena uz-imisele ngokufela uMsholozi,yayingekho yini imindeni edingaizindlu?
Yini lolu ‘thando’ luvuthwe seku-sondele ukhetho?
Khona manjalo sesizwa kubikwaukuthi eSeshego, kwesikaMnuzMalema, sekukhona amalungu e-ANCafunaukwakhelaumndeniohlu-phekayo indlu eduze kwesith-abathaba somuzi owakhiwa nguM-nuz Malema.
Ngempela ngempela umlabalabawani woke lo?
Noma kukuhle ukusiza abahlu-phekayo,akusikhonanjeukuzibizelaulaka lukaNkulunkulu ukulwa nga-bantu bakhe abahluphekayo?
Zizoba khona nje izibusiso kulezizenzo zabo nomakuzofana nokuthe-la amanzi emhlane wedada? Sibuzalemibuzonjengobayimasizobonaiz-inhlobo ezahlukene zothandodadewethu kababa.
Umasibhekauhlangothilwesenzoesihle sikaMnuz Malema, kuyaxakaukubona laba abamxakazisile ngobabethi akayitholanga imvume.
Yini eyenza abantu bayiqikelelekangaka indaba yokuthola imvumeyokwenza into enhle. Asiyibuyiseleeceleni kancane nje ipolitiki.
Bonanjebabeyitholekupiimvumeyokumvimba bamshaye.
Asikaze sizwe futhi ukuthi abantu
bayaye bacele imvume uma befunaukususa uthuthuva noma ukonelaphansi impahla.
Mhlambe laba abavimbe uMnuzMalemabebefunaukuzakhela igamakuMengameli Zuma, kodwangeshwa labo, uMsholozi usihlabewasihlikizalesosenzosabo.Ukubekekwacaca uMsholozi ukuthi akukhomuntu okufanele avinjwe umaekhankasa. Sengathi lokhu kungan-gena kugxile ezingqondweni zom-phakathi ngoba ngeke kwemukelekenangengozi ukuthi kuphinde kubekhona isigameko esifuze esikaMnuzMalema.
baya emabhange bephethe ama-business plan amahle kodwa ban-galutholi usizo ngoba kufuneka izi-bambiso (collateral noma i-security)ezinkulu.
