A DEVOTED canine couple survived at least a weekon a tiny ledge on a sheer cliff face in Kloof.

They were rescued — rake thin and dehydrated— after the male dog heard rescue experts on a nearby training exercise and “yelped just like a human cryfor help”.

Jon Sargood, chairman of the expert volunteergroup RescueTech, said the dogs had fallen onto thetwometrewide rock ledge, somehow without major injury, in one of the most remote, and sheer, partsof the Kloof Gorge.

While mounting a highangle rope exercise for histeam, Sargood said he heard the dogs moments after learning that the missing police dog, Chaka, hadbeen found dead nearby, in Mariannhill.

“We found it ironic that we were able to save adog’s life almost to the minute that we heard thatthis huge search for the police dog was over in sadcircumstances,” he said.

Having gone missing while pursuing suspectsnear a factory 10 days before, Chaka’s body was discovered near a stream.

Sargood said the team abandoned their trainingexercise and abseiled to the ledge.

A female dog was found unconscious, “and themale sat there calm as anything, and allowed us toput him into an animal harness. When we got himto the top, he began to make a big fuss, clearly concerned that we might not also rescue his partner.”

Another team member said the dog — of “indeterminate breed” — was initially allowed to lap atonly small amounts of water, as his dehydration wasso severe that sudden drinking could put his systemin shock. The animals wore no collars.

Sargood said a Kloof vet was forced to put downthe female, due to critical effects of starvation anddehydration.

He said the male was recovering well at the KloofSPCA, but that no owner had yet been identified.

Sargood said it remained a mystery how the pairhad wound up on the ledge, which was 50 metresfrom the top of the cliff, and over 100 metres fromthe bottom.

“PARENTS, teachers andschools must keep ontalking and working to-

gether to address the complex is-sue of bullying amongst childrenandteens.Thereneeds tobeongo-ingcommunicationandsystemsinplace to address bullying and notpretend that it doesn’t exist.”

John Buswell - CEO of The Pro-active Education Group andfounder member of Rape WiseSouth Africa spoke to Fever lastweek about what is becoming agrowingprobleminschoolsacrossall social spectrums.

“Octobermay be recognised asNational Bullying PreventionAwareness Month, but our groupspends all year talking to childrenand training teachers and princi-pals on how to recognise and dealwith the issue,” Buswell said.

Bullying is just one of a multi-

tude of abuse problems dealt within the school environment by thegroup countrywide.

“Although bullying has alwaysbeen a part of the playground andclassroom it has evolved with themass of technology which exists.

“Life’s challenges are very dif-ferentto40yearsago.Cyber-bully-

ing on social media can be over-whelming.”

Buswell said children and par-entsneedtoknowhowtodealwithsuch situations should they arise.

“Parents need to be involvedand know what their children aretalking about and what the mod-ern language/slang/cellphonespeak means. They need to knowthe vocabulary.”

When it comes to cyber-bully-ing, “children need to be trainedand know the services/optionsavailable to deal with it.”

He recommends that parents,teachers and principals becomefamiliar with the Protection fromHarassment Act (Act no 17 of2011) to help cope with the mine-field of cyber-bullying and sharingof ‘naked selfies’.

“Identify the bully and workwith him/her and their parents onwhy they are bullying in the firstplace (issues at home, low self-es-

teem, etc). Bullying is almost amechanism of protection for thebully.”

Parents should know whatsymptoms to look out for if theirchild becomesa victimof bullying.

“If their cellphone was an ex-tension of their hands before andtheysuddenlybecomedisinterest-ed when message alerts appear -that may be a warning signal. Donot ignore such behaviours,” hewarned.

In the event of cyber-bullyingBuswellurges thevictim(andtheirparents) “to save all evidence andshow adults.

“A victim of bullying, harass-ment and/or sexual harassmentcan apply for a protection order.

“What is important to note isthat the complainant is very oftenunawareof theharasser’s person-al details or where the complain-ant is being subjected to abuse viaanonymous threatening or offen-sive SMS, twitter messages oremails,” Buswell emphasised.

“The (Protection from Harass-ment) Act empowers the magis-trate’scourttoissueadirectiveandorder electronic communicationserviceproviders toprovide itwiththefullname, identitynumberandaddress of the harasser sendingthe text messages, tweets oremails.”

TheProactiveEducationGroupprovides a variety of programmesto schools, including: strategiesandpoliciesoncyber-safety,bully-ing, transportation of pupils, andschool safety.

importantly, sharing their knowledge,love and joy with the new moms,” saidGriffithJones

Writing of a youngprotagonist>> Local author launches debut novelKALISHA [email protected]

LOCAL author Ian Tennent hasmade his debut in the writingworld by launching his book,

Zululand Snow, recently.Sharing a little of his upbringing

with the Fever, Tennent said: “I wasborn in Durban but grew up in Zulu-land and loved it.

“Englishwasmyfavouritesubject,especially the creative stuff and I tookpride in it. After school I did a year inthe army and then followed that upwith a BComm, majoring in law,” hesaid.

TennentmovedtotheUnitedKing-dom for over a decade before finallysettling back in South Africa in 2012where he threwhimself intowriting.

This aspiring go-getter said hisfirst memory of putting pen to paperwas at the age of 10.

“When I was 10 I picked up a pen,sat at thepinedeskmydadhadmademe, andwrote about three sentencesto a story. It was about a boy and hispet tiger in the jungle,” he said.

“It sucked. I put the pen downand

onlypicked itupagain twoyears laterwhenmystandard5(grade7)Englishteacher brought English to life. Shewassoanimatedyoucouldn’thelpbutget involved. From then on I washooked. I used to beg for the Englishessay topics ahead of time so that Icould research and play with wordsand sentences to create somethingthat really spoke to me.”

Whenhisdreamsofbeingaspydidnot pan out, he opted for his back-upplan - writing.

Describing himself as modest,Tennent said his rolemodels are Ste-phen King for his characters, RayBradburyforhismasteryofproseandWilliam Golding for his story lines.

“For a long time now I’ve wantedtowriteaSouthAfricanstory thatcanstand squarely on its own two feetwithoutrestingonthepillarsofapart-heidorracism,”hesaid, talkingabouthis book.

“This isa tale that livesand thrivespurely on the fuel of a good story. Theideawas to create a good ol’ yarn us-ing all the colour and texture thatSouth Africa provides. This, hopeful-ly, is such a story.”

He said certain scenes in the bookhave been with him since he was 12or 13.

“ZululandSnow is a taleofhistoryand imagination. The book is set inZululand during the turbulent sum-mer of 1983 and 1984, in a fictitioustown. It draws lightly on my own ex-perience,butahelluvalotmore onmyimaginings.

“The protagonist is 12-year-oldCraig Cruikshank, half-heartedschoolboy and whole-hearted Zuluwarriorwhostrugglestoreconcilehisromantic notion of the proud, onceall-powerful Zulu nation with theraggedly, disenchantedZulushe seesin his hometown.

“On the last day of school he stum-bles across the legend of the lost Ink-atha Yesizwe, a coiled ring of grass,sinew, human hair, vomit and otherdelectable, the founding symbol ofZuluunityandstrength, whichpupilsbelieved to have been destroyedaround the time of the battle of Ulun-di.

“However, Craig has inhis posses-sion an old war letter which lendscredence to the idea that the Inkatha

survivedand ishiddennearby.Here-solves to find it,” he said.

Tennent'smessage to other aspir-ingwriters is: “Blitz your first draft. Itwill be crap.Accept it andembrace it,don’t overthink it. Your imaginationwill only really start to kick in whenyou blush at the drivel you firstcreated, so get that out the way asquickasyoucanandhavefunwithit.”

THE South African Banking Risk Information Centre (SABRIC) on behalf ofthe banks is currently on an awarenessdrive to warn bank customers of numerous bankrelated crime scams aswe approach the festive season.

“We want to warn customers to bevigilant during the festive season, especially around scams that promiseyou huge returns with minimal effort”said SABRIC CEO, Kalyani Pillay.

Among the scams that the bankingindustry warn about are the “depositand refund” scams, fraudulent requests to change bank account detailsand advance fee scams.

The deposit and refund scam involves criminals ordering goods or services from a business or individual andthen paying money into the victim’sbank account, mostly by depositing afraudulent cheque.

Sometimes, proof of payment isfabricated to create the impressionthat the deposit was made in cash.

Following this they send the ‘proofofpayment’tothebusinessorindividual and then the goods are released tothe criminal.

Alternatively they cancel the orderand request an urgent refund of thefunds made.

The bank will then process thecheque and discover that the chequeis fraudulent and reverse the credit onthe victim’s bank account, or discoverthat no deposit was made at all.

As a result, no funds are transferred

Watch out forbanking scams

into the victim's accountand the victim is subsequently out of both themonies and the goods.

Bank customers areencouragedto ensure thefollowing so that theydon’t fall victim to thisscam.

No “refund” shouldbe made without firstverifying with the bankthat the deposit that hasbeen made into your account is, indeed legitimate.

A significant amount of moneyhas been raised in support of theWildlife Conservation Trust.

The school’s rhino, Gijima, livedon Somkhanda Game Reserve inNorthern Natal until he waspoached and killed in April.

According to Carole Wilsonmarketing manager at Highbury,the pupil and staff are more deter-mined to continue their support to-wards theSave theRhinocampaignandhavealreadyhad two fundrais-ing events this month.

The first event saw 14 grade 7boys participating in the annualMaputaland 75km run in easternZululand during the October schoolholidays generating funds through

sponsorship.Thesecondeventwasanauction

(40cm by 30cm) sculpted by localsculptor Allen Hallett on 9 Octoberand twopaintingsweredonated forsale on thenight byGrade1 teacherDebbie Whitehouse, and theWeavers’NestchildrenandGradeRto 7 boys produced rhino art forparents to buy.

“Proceeds raisedgo towardsourSave the Rhino campaign.

“The boys who participated intheMaputalandrunraisedR26000and there was an additionalanonymous donation of R25 000that will allow us to adopt anotherrhino.

“Theauction andsaleof thechil-dren’s art raised more thanR100 000 for Save the Rhino,” saidWilson.

However, retirement didn’t lastlongandfourmonthslaterhispassionfor themeat industry flared up again.Realising there was more to life,Meintjies’ determination led him toopen a butchery in Gillitts.

The family butchery — DirksButchery — which has been aroundforyearshasfinallysettledinHillcrest,much to the delight of residents. Theaim of the butchery is to provide the

best quality meat and service in theHighway area.

Meintjiesandhis teampride them-selves in supplying the fresh, healthy,excellent quality cuts.

The shop has high hygiene stan-dards and the staff receive regulartraining on how to maintain hygienein the work environment.

The butchery is disinfected dailyandundergoesamonthlypest-controlcheck.

Whenmeat is transported to DirksButchery utmost care is taken not tobreak the “cold chain” meaning themeat leaves refrigerated trucks andgoes directly into thebutchery fridgesto minimise any chance of bacteriabuild-up.

Move over, Maslow

STEPH MCLENNAN

ABOUTH a million years ago, some guynamedMaslow, who hadway toomuchtime on his hands, put together a trian-

gular hierarchy of needs, detailing what hethoughtwere themost essential things forpeo-ple to be in possession of.

Ever since, high school and university stu-dents around the world have been fallingasleepinlessonsandlectureswhiletheteacher,asboredashisorhersubjects,dronesonabout

this hierarchy.The soporific effect of Maslow has even

been felt in examinations, where studentshave failed courses due to falling asleep in pa-pers which included questions about Maslowand his blasted hierarchy.

So, to sum up this hierarchy so quickly thatyou won't have time to fall asleep, Maslowstates that the first level of needs pertains tophysiological matters. Food. Air. Excretion.Sleep.

In otherwords, the basic elements requiredto not be dead.

His second level of needs relates to securityneeds: a job, health and property.

The third deals with love and belonging.By rights, Maslow should get a mention in

the credits of every gooey chick flick evermade.

On level four, getting to the stuff that Mas-low thinks only the elite reach, sits things likeself confidence and earning the respectof others.

On the fifth level is the lofty notionof self-ac-tualisation,awordnot spokenoutside thehallsof academia since 1850.

This encompasses traits like morality,creativity, and the ability to be non-judgmen-tal.

Here are the problems I have with Maslow:his ideas are poncy and outdated, and have noresonance with the 21st century.

Most of all, I take exception toMaslow's be-lief that one cannot reach level two until youhave level one wrapped up, and so on.

Tomynon-academicbrain, this implies thatnohomelesspersoncanbecreative; thatnoun-employedpersoncanhavemoralscruples,andthat insomniacs can never fall in love.

Also,asapersonwhoreliesuponmycreativ-ity (level five) for my bread and butter (levelone), I assure you that my bodily functions areall in order.

In 21st century South Africa, in which eacheconomicrecession isworse thanthe last; eachpresident more corrupt than his predecessorandwhereeverythingisuncertain,doesoneev-er permanently move past level one?

Or does one cling to the attributes of levelstwo to five in order to sustain level one?

Here'show,inmyopinion,a21stcenturylistof needs looks.

IDO talks at schools, encouraging teenstomake the right choices in life when itcomes to choosing friends, smoking,drugs, alcohol abuse, bullying and por-nography.

When it comes to pornography, ourchildren have access to the internet ontheir cellphones, or friend's cellphone,as well as the traditional magazines,strippers and DVDs.

In my talks I stress how easy it is tobecomeapornaddict,andhowdegrad-ing it is to women to be seen purely asa sexual being.

By indulging inporn, one is support-ingtheindustry,andinmostcases,mak-ing immoral people wealthy, at the ex-penseofthedignityandrespectofwom-en.

Most men, driven by testosterone,have aweakness for the trapof pornog-raphy, and unfortunately, porn ismadelight of at times, and not seen for thedangerous addiction it is.

When our children learn that theirparents indulge in pornography, itmakes the practice almost acceptable,or at least “not that bad?

After all, if my parent(s) watch porn,how bad can it really be, just harmlessfun, surely?”

Here is a challenge to all those whomight relate to this letter...

Let's set theexample toourchildren,and make our homes “porn free”, asmuch as we possibly can.

Let us throw the “trash” into thetrash, where no one else can access it.

And if it's appropriate, do it withyour teenager's company/buy in.

Let them know that your householddoes not believe in degrading women,but believe thatwomenneed to be seenas God's creation, deserving of respect,not just a physical body for a man'spleasure.

MOST people leave Christmas shoppingto the very last minute. Here are a fewstrategies to help ease the anxiety whenit comes to festive season shopping. Sowhether it's last minute Christmaspresent shopping or just buying groceriesfor a house full of people, these tipsshould help make it a more pleasant experience.

Plan aheadStart making a list a few days in ad

vance of all the items you will need. Makethe list comprehensive and don't forgetthe small things like wrapping paper,tape, cards etc. There is nothing worsethan getting through a long day of shopping, only to find that you forgot to buya present for your motherinlaw.

Plan your routeConsider which mall will be most likely

to have all the items on your list to avoidmall hopping. If that means travelling toa bigger mall outside your area, it may beworth the trip.

Determine your shopping timesMost malls have extended shopping

hours during the festive season. I find firstthing in the morning (early bird catchesthe worm) or after 6pm to be the besttimestoshop.Ifyouareshoppingforfreshfood, the mornings are best as the shelvesmay be empty by 6pm.

Use the Internet as a toolMost big shopping malls have web

sites with shop lists and shopping hours.Usethesetogettheinformationyouneedto select the right mall for your purchases.

Internet shoppingInternet shopping is not as common

in South Africa as in other countries, how

that offer online services that can makeyour shopping far more convenient andstress free.

Wear comfy shoesIf you are wanting to strut your stuff

in stilettos, then accept that your shopping may take a little longer and you willend up with sore feet at the end of theday. If it's worth it, go for it girl.

Care for the environmentTake along fabric bags for your pur

chases to avoid having to waste plasticbags. The Woolies fabric bags are my favourite. They are the perfect size andcome in funky bright colours.

Plan your budgetIf you plan well, you will get more for

your buck than you may think. Planningahead for your gifts will allow you moretime to shop around and look for the bestbargain.

If time is your biggest concern, be prepared to spend a little more for the convenience. I hope these tips help you takeshopping trips in your stride. Don't forgetto take a moment to enjoy a great cappuccino and rest your weary feet in between. And remember to spend yourmoney on what makes you and your lovedones feel fabulous!

Beat the Christmas shopping rush

MAKING your own Christmas decorationsis as easy or hard as you make it.

For busy mums who love shopping, it’sprobably a cinch to whip to the shops andspend up big to make the house lookChristmassy.

Butforthoseofuswhoprefertogetintothe Christmas spirit and keep our walletshappy, making our own decorations isgreat fun. Try these projects:

Christmas wreathsThe tradition of hanging a wreath on

the front door in the runup to Christmascomes from an old Catholic ritual.

The advent or the season prior toChristmas Day is a significant time, anda circular wreath is hung on the door. Thecircle symbolises that there is no beginningor end and that God is eternal. A more traditional advent wreath contains four candles in the circle and one candle in the middle.

Christmas garlandsA garland is a decorative string used

during festive times which can be hungaround a person, over a mantel or aroundan inanimate object like a Christmas tree.Originally garlands were made of flowersor leaves and in countries like India, garlands have an important role in spiritualfestivals.

Garlands can be created from flowersand leaves, fruit, vegetables or even dollarnotes but at Christmas time the garland isused to decorate a home.

Tinsel and other types of garland or ribbon used as decorations that can easily bestrung up for a short period of time.

Christmas lightingChristmas lights and lanterns give dec

17Hillcrest Kwikspar-compact yet complete

JAMES SIDDALL

MEGA-SIZE food stores – you know,those warehouse-like retailers, nor-mallyset invastshoppingmalls–have

theirplace,Isuppose.Especiallyifyou'redoingbulk monthly shopping for a family the size ofa small East European nation.

But smaller, compact stores, stores likeHill-crest KwikSpar in particular? These I love foras many reasons as there are stars in our gal-axy. All right. That's a bit of overheated hyper-bole,but someof thosereasons include the factthat the staff get to know you by name, get toknow your predilections and tastes, even askwhere you've been if you don't pop in for a fewdays.

Something that's rare for me as almost ona daily basis I'm in Hillcrest KwikSpar, whichissosuperblyhelmedby long-time localcoupleMike and Leigh-Anne Egling.

This store also scores because you can sim-ply park outside and stroll in. There's none ofthis business of paying to park in a field-sizedparkinglotbeforeataxingtrektothestoreitself– and then another endurance march as youwander endless aisles long enough to accom-modate a Boeing landing. Something that canbe trying for all of us, and evenmore so for theelderly or mothers with small children.

But I do ramble. Hillcrest KwikSpar – and Ialmost termed it “cosy andwelcoming,”whichitreally is,barthefact that that'saterribly tweeterm–hastheaddedbenefitofeffectivelybeingaspecialtystore, fromitson-sitebakery tovastarray of artisanal items.

And yet when it comes to essential day-to-day grocery items, well, you'll find everythingyouneedhere, fromdog food todetergent, anda wide range at that.

“Wemakesurethatwestockeverythingthat

customers could need,” says the ever-amiableMike. “Wealso infuseour shelveswithartisan-al grocery products that you're really going tobattle to find elsewhere.”

Try, for instance, the likes of gluten-freebeetroot fettuccine or squid-ink spaghettisourced from Cape Town, to name but two ex-amples,orimportedcereals,withthelastbeingespecially popular withwell-travelled individ-uals or expatriates longing fora tasteofhome.

“So, yes,” saysMike, “we stock niche prod-uctsaswellasallthetop-sellingbrandsataverygood price indeed.”

And that's before taking into account thestore'sspecialoffers,whichoftenborderonre-markable.

It's no accident either that while HillcrestKwikSpar is delightfully compact – althoughfollowing a recent expansion and refurbish-ment the aisles have become far wider – itboasts all that customers could feasibly need.In fact, there's a bit of a science behind it, andever-efficient grocery manager Vishall Tulseeuses in-depth data analysis plus his own de-cade-long experience in this sector to makesure that the store sells at least the top10of ev-erything in every possible category and sub-category.

“It's a delicate balance because our shelfspace is limited,” reckons Mike, “but we effec-tively offer a full shopping experience with agood dose of uniqueness. Plus we're alwaysopen to customer requests.”

As he adds, “We're forever changing thestore to remain relevant to our customers. Wenever stay static.”

And while I don't know how WinstonChurchill would feel about having one of hisquotes appropriated here, he himself did say,“To improve is to change, to be perfect is tochange often.”

FEVER REPORTER

WITH breast cancer being the emphasis on the healthcalendar this October, one of the big questions to askis should women be tested for the BRAC 1 and 2 genetests?

Peter Jordan, Principal Officer of Fedhealth, saysthat in spite of the hype a couple of years ago, theBRAC 1 and 2 gene tests should only be done for highrisk individuals following a full assessment and pretest counselling.

“The tests are relatively simple and can be performed locally by various pathology laboratories.They vary in cost depending on the patient’s individual requirements and the costs are covered by mostmedical schemes.

However, standard regular checkups are muchmore important for most women. “PreventativeHealth is essential and we strongly advocate thatwomen follow a regular routine of selfexaminationand carry out regular annual checks and mammograms,” says Jordan.

Jordan says lack of education and fear causesmany women to delay seeking medical evaluation ofa possible breast problem.

A thorough breast examination takes only 10 minutes, however, a surprisingly large number of women

still avoid undergoing breast examinations.Breast cancer can also occur in men, although rare,

which means examinations for men are also important and this is often largely neglected.

The examination begins with visual inspectionwhere the breasts are inspected for size and symmetry – a slight variation in the size of each breast is common and generally normal. The skin is then inspectedfor colour, vein pattern, and any visible swelling or fluid retention.

The lymph nodes above and below the collarbonearealsoinspectedforenlargement,swelling,discoloration or lesions.

The second part of the examination involves palpation (feeling) of the breast and underlying tissue,which is performed with the patient either seated orlying down. This is best performed a few days aftermenstruation, when less fluid is retained.

It is important to note that the vast majority ofsuspicious lumps turn out to be benign (not cancer).Your health care provider may request that you returnto have the suspicious area rechecked in a month, oryou may be advised to have a diagnostic mammogram or a breast ultrasound (sonogram) to reevaluate the physical findings.

In addition to a clinical check women must alsotake responsibility for their own health and checktheir breasts at home at least once a month. Breastselfexaminations are easy and painless and canavert a serious problem later.

“Breast Health Education ensures that womenand men across South Africa are empowered throughknowledge to make choices about their health andtheir lives,” concludes Jordan.

R5 mln McLaren stolenin Durban heist>> Police reports car had been ordered for a Durban business tycoon

A MCLAREN 650S, worth overR5 million and one of only a handful in the world, was stolen in a bra

zen cargo heist shortly after arriving atDurban Harbour on Monday 20 October,reports The Witness.

It is understood that the sports car arrived at the Durban Harbour on Mondayand once cleared through customs hadbeen placed in an unmarked containerbound for Johannesburg.

Law enforcement reports that the theheavy goods truck carrying the McLarenwas hijacked in Warden near the KZNFree State border. The driver had beenthrown out by criminals at Hartebeespoort although was unharmed in therobbery.

Police reports that the car had beenordered for a Durban business tycoon,who had bought the performance vehiclethrough his company.

The businessman denied this and insisted his company had not purchasedthe sports car.

Imperial Logistics marketing executive Michelle Neilson confirmed that atruck was hijacked on the N3 betweenWarden and Villiers with a container containing laptops and the McLaren 650 S.

Neilson said a case was opened at Erasmia police station near Pretoria and thatan Imperial Investigations task team wasassigned to the case.

“No further information can be disclosed at this stage due to the highly sensitive nature of the ongoing investigation,” Neilson said.

Daytona Motor Group CEO JustinDivaris said the car was bound for itsshowroom in Sandton.

“The vehicle had come in through theport and was in a container. It is one ofour demonstrator models we used for

test drives and for the press, and was notspecifically on order for a customer, thankgoodness.”

Divaris said that he believed that thetheft had been a mistake.

“I firmly believe that whoever stolethe truck had no idea what they had taken. There is obviously no market for a carlike that in South Africa and I think theywere after other electronic goods.”

He also denied that the Durban business mogul had bought the car, and saidthey looked forward to getting their carback. — Jeff Wicks.

A DOCTOR who treated Michael Schumacher for nearly six months after the Formula 1 champion struck his head in a skiingfall says the injured exdriver is no longerin a coma and predicted a possible recoverywithin three years.

JeanFrancois Payen, a doctor at theGrenoble hospital that treated Schumacher after his injury in December 2013, said hehasvisitedtheSchumacherfamilyathomein Switzerland to track his patient’sprogress.

Schumacher was with his 14yearoldson in the French Alps when he fell, hittingthe side of his head on a rock and crackinghis helmet.

“Life after a head injury is punctuatedby stages. We hope, but we have to givehim time,” said Payen last Thursday.

He predicted a convalescence of one tothree years.

Earlier French F1 commentator JeanLouis Moncet repeated a report that Schumacher was “waking up very slowly” fromthe induced coma controlling his seriousbrain injuries.

Moncet said: “I saw his son and he toldme Schumi was waking up very slowly, veryslowly.”

Payen commented: “It is to see how heprogresses and then tell his wife and hischildren what changes I have observed. Heis in very favourable conditions.

In September 2014 Schumacher left arehabilitation clinic in Switzerland and returned home to his estate on the edge ofLake Geneva.

A man, who allegedly stoleSchumacher’s medical records andwho was allegedly attempting tosell them to different media for$67 000 (about R7 350 000),worked as an executive at a Swisshelicopter air rescue company,which organised the Germansportsman’s transport from aFrench hospital to Switzerland inJune.

The man, arrested and interrogated by police, had denied anywrongdoing. He was being detained in a Zurich police holdingcell, but was found hanged whenofficers took him breakfast beforea scheduled hearing before ajudge.

for a second year in successionwhileAbby Adie went one better in thewomen’s race, winning it for a thirdyear inarow, in idealclearconditionslast Sunday.

The 18km race, a keyDusi qualifi-er and the first front row seedingevent, was sponsored by the KwaZu-lu-Natal Department of Sport andRecreation, from the Natal CanoeClub (NCC) inPietermaritzburg to theBishopstowe Farmers Hall, just out-

side the city.Khwela (Team EuroSteel), the

men’swinner,waspushedall thewayon the water by Thulani Mbanjwa(Build It), another formerDusi cham-pion, but usedhis superior portagingability to pull clear on the three-and-a-half kilometre run in to the finish torecord a convincing victory by overone-and-a-half minutes.

“It is a hard race, especially theportage,”Khwela saidafterwards. “Itis long and no one has really trainedfor it, so I knew thatwewereall goingto struggle on the portage. We had tousewhatwehad tobe thereat the fin-ish.”

Adie, meanwhile, had an anxiouswait to see whether or not she hadwon the women’s race because herICF CanoeMarathonWorld Champi-onships’ doubles partner LauraO’Donaghue had started in a laterbatch. In the end, though, Adie wonconvincingly by almost five minutes.

Shewas theonlywomantostart inthe A-batch and found the goingtough in thebeginning, sheadmitted.“I thought I would just go as hard asI could, but at the star on the Drift, itwasn’t so great. I got dropped. I wasright at the back. My arms just didn’thave anything in them.

“Once I hit the river, my comfortzone, I managed to push quite hardand catch up to a few guys, so I lovedthe stretch on the river. That was lotsof fun.”

Director in the Department ofSport and Recreation, Prem Vayapu-ri,alsoexpressedhissatisfactionwiththe growth of development in canoe-ing. “NCC, together with the KNCUandtheDepartmentofSport,havein-creased theparticipationbase.At thesame time, talent is emerging andthattalentisbeingaddressedthroughparticipation in the Dusi too, so thisdevelopment racehelps lift people onto the next level,” he said.
