Shaka’s legacy lives onTraditional gatheringstoo important to belooked down upon –King Zwelithini

JYOTHI LALDAS

Members of the Zulu Nationgathered at the KwaDukuzaRecreation Grounds on Sat-

urday for theannualUmkosiweLem-be Heritage Day (formerly ShakaDay) celebrations.

The event was attended by mon-archoftheZulunation, KingGoodwillZwelithini ka Bhekuzulu, Inkosi ofthe Buthelezi clan and traditionalprime minister to the Zulu monarchand nation prince MangosuthuButhelezi, KZNacting premier SenzoMchunu, iLembedeputymayorDollyShandu, KwaDukuzamayor RicardoMthembu, Amakhosi of the Zulu Na-tion andahost of provincial and localdignitaries.

Addressing the gathering of morethan 1 000 Zulus, Buthelezi reiterat-ed the reason for the annual celebra-tion.

“This day is set aside to commem-orate the life and the legacy of thefounderof theZuluNation,KingSha-ka ka Senzangakhona. Almost 200years ago, the 29-year-old warriorascended the throne.“The fact that hewas awarrior influ-enced his style of leadership and hada profound effect on the kind of soci-

ety his leadership shaped.. King Sha-ka shaped a warrior society. That isnot to say he created a warring peo-ple, but that he imbued our nationwith a sense of courage, resilience,determination and discipline.”

He questionedwhether the legacyofKingShakawillbe intact 200 yearsfrom now and if the nation is “doingall we can and all we must to pre-serve that legacy.”

“Thisis about sustaining the unityofournation,whichistherichestpartof our heritage. King Shaka broughttogether a fractured society and cre-ated unity. The greatest threat to ourunity today is that fractures and divi-sions may creep in again.”

He said he dedicated his life toserving his nation and to preservingthe legacybestowedbyhisancestors.

“I still labour, and will continue tolabour, to see our values upheld forthesakeofunity.Thisunityistheheri-tage of our past and the hope for ourfuture.”

Zwelithini launched an attack onthe behaviour of some of the attend-ees of events such as the recent ReedDance.

He said these gatherings were tooimportant to be looked down upon.

“If you are privileged enough toattend, don't behave like a drunkardin a bar.“These events have a deeper mean-ingforusZulus, theyarenot justcere-monies,” he said.

He said it was disturbing thatsomepeople use the events “as awayto introduce alcohol to our children.”

“I will not let this happen to mychildren. When you bring your chil-dren to me they becomemy childrenas well. No good has ever come froma child drinking alcohol. What I'msaying is important to anyone with aZulu spirit in them.”

Speaking out about the accidentbetween Nkwalini and Melmoth onthe Sunday of the Reed Dance wherenine maidens were killed, the Kingurged event organisers to take carewhen planning events, especiallywith the transportation of people.

“These buses must be inspectedthoroughly. The transport for mywarriors, my maidens and theirguardians should be inspected. Eventhe drivers must be tested,” he said.

He also spoke out against callingthe KwaDukuza RecreationalGroundsa“ground”insteadofaroyalhousehold.

"This is not a ground. It's part ofKwaDukuza's royal household. Eventhough there is a municipality called

KwaDukuza,whenwecomehere,wecometotheiLembe'sroyalhouseholdand we must behave as such.“We will not let any wrong-doinghappen in KwaDukuza, like wewould not let [anywrong-doing hap-pen in] Khetha, kwaKhangela, Lind'uZulu, Nyokeni and Ondini.

Speaking about the upcoming na-tionalelectionsnextyear,he saidpeo-ple must vote for the party they

know.“Voteforthosewhoyouknowwillacton your behalf.“Listen to what they say about tradi-tion and culture and vote for thosethat uphold what you believe in anddeem important,” he said.

The event closed with the tradi-tional dance by the king, princeButhelezi, Mchunu and other digni-taries.

Monarch of the Zulu nation KingGoodwill Zwelithini ka Bhekuzulu ad­dresses the crowd.

Drug offence arrests riseCrime statistics show significant drop in theft out motor vehicles locally, but increase in drug crimes

NOTHANDO NDLOVU

AN increase in drug-related of-fence arrests is a positive one,said KZN SAPS spokesman

Colonel Jay Naicker on Monday.This comes after the release of the

SAPS national crime statistics lastweek. Naicker said there was an in-crease indrug related offence arrestsin all stations in the province.

“ In terms of our medium termexpenditure frameworkplan, KZNisperforming extremely well in termsof crime reduction over the past fiveyears.

“Certain crime categories haveshown slight increases when com-pared to the previous year, and weareaddressing those crimesandspe-cifically those stations that contrib-utedtothoseincreases,”saidNaicker.

The Weekly reviewed crime sta-tistics from the Mandeni, Newark,KwaDukuza, Sundumbili and Um-hlali SAPS between April 2012 andMarch 2013.

Regarding thedrugrelatedoffenc-es; KwaDukuza was the only stationout of the five that saw a decreasefrom 957 to 953 arrests.

Mandeni saw an increase from163 to 211 andNewark from three toeight. Sundumbili increased from220 to 250 arrests while Umhlali in-creasedfrom276to426andGlendalefrom 52 to 111.

At the KwaDukuza SAPS, murdercases dropped from 57 to 47while itremained the same in Umhlali SAPSand Mandeni SAPS.

In Mandeni, only four cases werereported and 25 in Sundumbili.In Newark, murder cases increased

from three to eight.Speaking to the Weekly on Mon-

day, Mandeni media liaison officerWarrant Officer Bongani Hlabisasaid the countless stop-and-searchoperations by the police led to the in-crease in the arrests.

Sexual crimes in KwaDukuza in-creased from 202 to 229 arrests,

dale.Sundumbili SAPS media liaison

officer, Lieutenant Gideon Mtheth-wa, assured that the police will con-tinue to “work hard” to decrease thecrime rate.

He said, however, unemploymentwas the cause of most crimes.

“Many people who are unem-ployed tend to turn to selling drugs oralcohol or stealing to make a living,whichcauses these cases to increase.

“We therefore ask the public to bethe eyes and ears of the police so thatthis can be combated. We also urgepeople to ensure that theirhomesarenot left unattended during the day,which leads to burglary.”

Mthethwa asked womentobevig-ilant and not to walk alone at nightin a “proactive approach” to sexualcrimes.

“We request the community towork hand-in-hand with the police..

In KwaDukuza, robbery with ag-gravating circumstances increasedfrom459 to 487 arrestswhile theft ofmotorvehiclesdecreasedfrom134to85.

Cases of burglary at residentialpremises saw a great increase from732 to 969.

Sundumbili saw an increase inresidential burglary cases from 374to 512, Newark from 18 to 30 whileMandeni experienced a decreasefrom 37 to 30.

After seeing an increase in bur-glary from 115 to 119, Hlabisawarned Mandeni residents not toleave their homes unattended.

He also urged the public to ensurethat their cars are locked when theypark them.

“The police analyse crime so thatnecessary people can be deployed atareas which have a high rate ofcrime,” he explained.

KwaDukuza SAPS media liaisonofficer, constable Sibusiso Khumalosaid while the station has seenmanypositivestatistics,officerswillcontin-ue to work hard.

“The increase in statistics is not abad thing. It simplymeansweareap-prehending more criminals andmore crimes are being reported ordiscovered.

“Sexual assault cases are difficultto police because most happen in-doors and are seen more as a social

while in Man-deni they in-creased from24 to 25.

In Umhlalithe arrest rateincreased from83 to 99.Sundumbili onthe other handsaw a decreasefrom 98 to 87;there was a de-crease from 14to 9 in Glen-

ill than a crime. Thisis wrong and peoplemust realise it is acrime; they mustcome forward to thepolice.”

He said they willintensify their cam-paign to educatecommunitiesthrough bodies suchas the communitypolicing forums,war-roomsandcom-munity organisa-tions.

Naicker urgedCPFs, policing fo-rums, businessagainst crime andvariousNGOs to con-tinue lending the po-lice their support.

“Citizens are re-quested to continuereporting the activi-ties of criminals topolice so that we canmake this province abetter place for allwho live in it,” saidNaicker.

“It is only withyour active partici-pation that we willwin this war againstcriminals.

“As members ofthe SAPS we remaincommitted to fightfor this noble causeand we will continuein our endeavour toensure that peopleare safe,” he said.

Minister takes action>> Education MEC and acting premier comes down hard on pupils

MERVYN KRISHNA

ACTING KwaZulu-Natal pre-mier and education MEC Sen-zo Mchunu read the riot act to

pupils and department officials afterhe found “total lawlessness” at Qo-qulwazi High School in Driefontein.

He was visiting the school withKwaDukuza mayor Ricardo Mthem-bu and education department offi-cials last Wednesday.

Mchunu found classrooms emptyas most pupils were more than twohours late for school, while otheryounger children of school-going agewere found playing in a local park.

“Why are you not at school?Where is your school uniform?”

asked Mchunu, when he found thepupils playing in the local park.

After failing to get a proper re-sponse, Mchunu personally droppedthe children off at their respectiveschools.

One pupil was found in posses-sion of dagga, whichwas discoveredin his pencil case, and a knife in hispocket.

MERVYN KRISHNA

KWAZULU-NATAl acting pre-mier, Senzo Mchunu, said hewas satisfied with the service

Mchunu, together with his cabinet,visitedtheareaaspartof theKwaZulu-Natal provincial government Opera-tion Sukuma Sakhe - aimed at speed-ing up service delivery, interactingwith beneficiary communities andmonitoring other ongoing govern-ment funded projects.

The office of the premier also re-cently introduced a hotline to reportservice delivery complaints; the num-ber is 0800 596 596.

Mchunu said inMandeni LocalMu-nicipality, out of 30 902 households,123608people have access to six clin-ics within a radius of 5km, a standardadopted by the Department of Healthin its efforts to make health servicesmore accessible to the people.

“In KwaDukuza Municipality, 13124 households, 52 496 persons areserviced by seven clinics within 5km.Another six clinics are in the processof being constructed.

“InMaphumuloMunicipality, eightclinics are currently servicing 57 684peoplewithinthe5kmradius,withoneclinic in the pipeline,” Mchunu said.

He said that in the past four yearstheprovincial government’s emphasishas been onmore effective service de-livery processes and the introductionof a more integrated approach in theprovision of government services topeople through Operation SukumaSakhe.

When speaking about HIV/Aidschallenges, he said the ProvincialAids Council was currently dealingwith theprocessofequitabledistribu-tionof resources toaddress“aholistictreatment programme and care inthe community.”

Speaking about job creation in thedistrict, Mchunu said the Departmentof Community Safety and Liaisonalone employed 2 100 people in thevoluntary social crime preventionproject.

Other job opportunities were cre-ated in the areas of food security (800jobs),mechanisationprogramme(600jobs), comprehensive agriculturalsupport programme (4 500 jobs), live-stock (3460 jobs), and other infra-structure projects employed 3 820people.

Inthegreeneconomy,morethan12000 jobs have been created.

Yellow maize production netted400 jobs, and groundnuts productionadded another 825 jobs.

He also outlined amassive agricul-

tural farms project, which seeks toidentify six subsistence farms andconvert them to commercially viablefarms.

Viable sites have been identifiedacross the four local municipalitiesfalling under iLembe District: Ma-thonsi,Bulwer,Siyanqoba,Kwahlong-wa, Mwandle, and Khelelani.

According to Mchunu, the objec-tives of the project are to improve theinfrastructure on the farms by provid-ing agricultural equipment and ser-vices, and to identify agricultural co-ops and assist them with capacitybuilding and skills development.

The end goal of the project, he said,is to have farms that are able to pro-duce crops for the local andwider dis-trict fresh produce market.

Mchunu also outlined govern-ment’s flagship project, dubbed iLem-be Vineyards.

“The objective of the project is toplant andharvest vineswith the inten-tion of producing someor all of the fol-lowing: wine, brandy, juice and tablegrapes.”

He explained that the iLembeVine-yards project is an agro-processingbusinesswith anagri-tourismcompo-nent.

The ultimate goal of the project, hesaid, is to create economically viableprojects and industries.

MANY parentshave joined Fa-cebook recent-ly. Some join topromote theirbusiness orwork, while themajority are onFacebook formainly socialis-ing with familyand friends andsimultaneouslyto 'keep an eye'on their kids.

I havemixedfeelings aboutthis topic.Myparents don't have Facebook soI can't really comment personally, but I don’tthink they needed to spy on me either.

I have seena fewstatusesaboutparents onFacebook, the most recent one read "Damn,mymomanddadjust invitedmeonFacebook.Do I ignore or block?"

Of course that's a tricky situation becausefamily is family. However, if you're older andyou have a 'private' life, it does get invadedwhenyourparents readabout it onFacebook.Imagine yourself lying and going for a houseparty and few days later the pictures end upon Facebook and the first person to commentis your mother?

There is only one thing she is going to sayand that will definitely be 'grounded for life'.

AlthoughhavingyourparentsonFacebookmight stop you from uploading somethingwhich will land you in trouble or maybe evenstopyoufromdoingcertainthings,I'venoticedsome teenagers are not really bothered by it.

I'd find it awkward to have my parents onFacebookand thenbe “ina relationship”withsomeoneonFacebook,especiallywhenyou'rejust 16, but maybe that's just me.

I think the final andmost gruesome part ofembarrassmentwhichmight hitmewould beif one of my parents had my friends on Face-book and then uploaded a baby picture of meor say something about mewhich is personaland embarrassing, I'dfindarockandhideun-der it!

I'veseenithappen,however,notallparentsare likethis,althoughthereareafew.I'veseena few caseswhere guys even flirtedwith a girlon Facebook and her parent commented onthe post, again AWKWARD!

I guess teenagers handle situations differ-ently. Ipersonallywouldn'twant tomixmyso-cial online life with my family life.

I'm not saying my parents are boring be-causeIspendsomuchtimewiththemathome,so I know they aren't - but mixing your sociallife online with your family life can leave youinaverystickysituation.Doyouhaveyourpar-entsonFacebook?Does it leaveyou inastickysituation sometimes?

THERE are few public entitiesor organisations that possessgreater influence than themedia.Be it your local community news-paper, radio or television broad-casts, we ultimately draw manyconclusions based on what massmedia communicates to us.

Take for example, the FieldsHill accident where 23 peoplewere killed after an articulatedtruck slammed into vehicles.

Over the past week there hasbeen endless speculation by largemedia houses as to what may ormaynothaveoccurredduringthisincident. Letme repeat...specula-tion.

Let’s stop for a moment andanalyse the facts. Yes, it is a greattragedy with the loss of lives andgreat impacton the affected fami-lies. But what do we have aboutthe accident? Who should we bedirecting our emotional concernsto?

A video showing the horrificcrash was doing its roundsshort-lyaftertheincident.Hastheinves-tigation into theallegedbrake fail-ure been concluded? No. Has

there been any solid commentfrom the truck owners? No. Hasthe truck driver been given an op-portunity to give his version ofevents concisely? No.

Sympathyhaspouredinfortheyoung immigrant truck driver.

And perhaps this is justified.But remember, the brake failurehas thus far been his testimony ofevents. Not the determination ofa proper investigation. The vilifi-cationof the young manhasbeena drive by large media houses.They have also largely inferredthat the trucking company issomewhat to blame.

Andwell,perhapstheyare.Butthat is not for us to determine.Neither is his innocence or guilt.

Factual information on this is-sue is currently minimal at themost. If this was not such awell publicised case, reporterswouldnotevencontinuallyupdateyou on court appearances.

My point is simple. It is vital tobe wary of certain “hyped” up is-sues. Of course, most mediahouses ensure all factual infor-mation is presented in an objec-tive manner.

Most importantly, however,media has long been regarded asthe “watchdog” for society. Butdon't buy into what everyone ve-hemently preaches to you.Alwaysanalyse thedeeper impactof issues and the context aroundthat.

Know media and its role

JUST SAYIN’

‘The vilificationof the youngman has beena drive by largemedia houses.’

I TOOKacontract via a local telephonecompany KwaDukuza and found thatwhatwasadvertisedwasnotwhatIre-ceived. I returned the phone the nextday.

I thenfoundthatIwasbeingrepeat-edly charged for the contract eventhough the phone was returned.

I contactedclient servicesabout theproblem and they advised that theproblem will be rectified and I will becredited.

This persisted and I went to themanager of a local branch who con-firmed that the contract will be can-celled and I will be credited for theamounts that I have already paid.

I now find that I have been chargedan amount of R2547-38 as a forfeiturefeeforthiscontractaswellasamonthlyinstalment from date of signing of thecontract to date.

At theoutsetof signing thiscontractI received no documentation whatso-ever confirming that I had this con-tract, neither did I receive a documentwhen I returned the phone.

There was no clause stating that Iwill be charged this amount.

On my querying this situation withanother branch again shortly thereaf-ter, I found that there is no record onfile that the phone was returned thevery next day or ever returned for that

matter.My landline is continuously being

cut off and I ambeing charged re-con-nectionfeesbecauseofthis,allbecausesomeonedidnotdohisorher jobprop-erly.

Unsuspecting customers get ripped­off

I KNOWits stated in the freedomchar-ter, “that the wealth of the country be-longs to all its people and must besharedequallybut it’snothappening”.

What we arewitnessing from theyear 2000 that the wealth belongs topoliticians and people who are wellconnected to the ruling party.

What I have seen and I am stillseeing is the poor and the workingclass are used and are still going to beused as “fodder during elections” asmany people who live in villages arevery poor. Politicians try to misleadthese people that they represent themand alsomake empty promises. Some

parties bluff the peoplewith t-shirts, aonce-off meal and after they are votedin you see them again after five years.

Politicians earn high salaries andhavemanyperks,butnotrealisingthatwe are the employers we are payingthem, (the tax-payersand theratepay-ers). Ihaveseensomededicatedpoliti-cians who have showed and are stillshowing their strength.

Theyarebuilding that partnershipwith the poor.Remember, oppositionparties play a major role in trying tofightforcleangovernancebytherulingparty.Remember,electapoliticalpartythat helps you every day and not one

day only.I thought in20yearsofourdemoc-

racy that councillors have fulfilled thecommitment of indigent support, butits sad to see somepolitical parties usethis support forms only during elec-tions.Dear voter, you must ask thesepoliticians “where were you for thepast five years?”And thatwill give youaguideline to vote for the rightpartyofyour choice.

Good luck to all parties and mostimportantlythevoter-thinkbeforeyouink.RoyNaidooGodBless SouthAfrica

HUNDREDS of unemployed people inKwaDukuza will stand to benefit from themultimillion rand road construction worksthat the KwaDukuza Municipality is under­taking.

Speaking at the project handover onTuesday last week at the Nonoti Mouth,KwaDukuza mayor Ricardo Mthembu told lo­cals to take advantage of the opportunities

that government is creating as part of alle­viating poverty.

The municipality will be spending atleast R4.5 million towards the constructionof the 1.5km Nonoti bus route.

“These projects will make a difference inthe lives of the unemployed who will receiveemployment.

“However, this assertion does not meanthat the people must rely in governmentprojects for employment.

“There are many other opportunities inthe waiting out of government, especially inthe business sector,” said Mthembu.

Since the beginning of the month, themunicipality has delivered five other multi­million rand infrastructural developmentprojects.

WEEKLY MEDICAL F CUSBRONCHIOLITIS

Bronchitis, PneumoniA, Laryn­gotracheobronchitis (croup). Thepresentation of these conditionswill depend on age, infecting organ­ism and site of infection.PATHOPHYSIOLOGY

There is no hard and fast defini­tion of LRTI that is universallyagreed upon. Essentially, it is in­flammation of the airways/pulmo­nary tissue, due to viral or bacterialinfection, below the level of the lar­ynx. Remember that gastro­oe­sophageal reflux may cause achemical pneumonitis. Smoke andchemical inhalation may also causepulmonary inflammation.

Viral infections: About 45% ofchildren hospitalised with pneumo­nia have a viral aetiology, common­ly; Influenza A,BACTERIAL INFECTION

These constitute about 60% ofhospitalised pneumonia cases:Streptococcus pneumoniae (themajority of bacterial pneumonias),H. influenzae, Staphylococcus au­reus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Enter­obacteria ­ eg, Escherichia coli.

Secondary bacterial infection isrelatively common following viralupper respiratory tract infection(URTI) or LRTI.PRESENTATION

Mostoften,LRTIisaccompaniedby fever and may be preceded by atypical viral URTI. It is important toassess all children with a fever accu­

rately. Bacterial pneumonia shouldbe considered in children whenthere is persistent or repetitive feverabove 38.5°C together with chestrecession and a raised respiratoryrate.

In all age groups be aware thataudible wheezing is not seen veryoften in LRTI (although it is com­mon with more diffuse infectionssuch as in M. pneumoniae and bron­chiolitis).HISTORY

Age and the type of LRTI, will af­fect the symptoms and history.

Newborn and neonates presentwith: grunting, poor feeding, irrita­bility or lethargy, fast breathing, fe­ver or hypothermia, cyanosis (in se­vere infection), cough (but this isunusual at this age).

Infants present with: cough (themost common symptom after thefirst four weeks), tachypnoea (ac­cording to severity), grunting, chestindrawing, feeding difficulties, irri­tability and poor sleep, noisybreathing,historyofprecedingURTI(very common).

again, preceding URTI is common,cough is the most common symp­tom, fever occurs most noticeablywith bacterial organisms, pain oc­curs more often in this age group(chest and abdominal), vomitingwith coughing is common (post­tussive vomiting).

Older children: There will be ad­ditional symptoms to those above,more expressive and articulate chil­dren will report a wider range ofsymptoms, constitutional symp­toms may be more vividly de­scribed.EXAMINATION

Your healthcare practitionershould look for other diseases (forexample, rashes, pharyngitis) withcareful systematic examination, aswell as classify the severity of therespiratory distress that your childis experiencing.

Differential diagnosis should in­clude: asthma, inhaled foreignbody, pneumonitis from othercauses like gastro­oesophageal re­flux.

Investigations : Numerous in­vestigations are at your healthcarepractitioners disposal from chestxrays to blood tests and examina­tion of the sputum, these can ex­clude or confirm the pathologicalagent responsible for your child’s ill­ness.

Admission is ad­vised for severe LRTI.

This is indicated by:Respiratory rate >50breaths/minute, Sig­nificant increase inheart rate for level offever, presence of comorbidity ­ eg, congeni­tal heart disease,chronic lung disease ofprematurity, chronic re­spiratory conditionssuch as cystic fibrosis,bronchiectasis or im­mune deficiencyshould also promptconsideration of ad­mission.

Admission shouldalso be considered for:All children under theage of six months, Chil­dren in whom treat­ment with antibioticshas failed (most chil­dren improve after 48hours of oral, outpa­tient antibiotics)

MEDICAL F CUS

CUSTOM foot orthotics offer several advan­tages. They are transferrable across shoes,so the wearer is not restricted to certainfootwear. The orthotic shell supports themedial arch and distributes weight acrossthe entire plantar portion of thefoot. Or­thoses act to control the dynamic motion ofthe foot, limiting abnormal motion and pre­venting problems as the patient walks.

Careful examination of the symptomsandthecorrectapplicationofFootOrthoticsincorporating metatarsal pads, can providesignificant relief for the patient and allowthem to return to an active and healthy life­style.

Primary and secondary: Metatarsalgiacan be classifiedaseitherprimaryorsecond­ary. Primary metatarsalgia is consideredstructural in nature—an anatomical abnor­mality resulting in increased pressure underthe forefoot. Eg: Pes Cavus (High Arches).

Metatarsalgia is a global term to de­scribe forefoot pain. It covers pain occurringat the metatarsal heads, the metatar­sophalangeal joints (MPJs), or in the soft tis­

sue in that region and can lead to a varietyof diagnoses.

Secondary metatarsalgia is defined aspain that does not originate within themetatarsal area.

Metatarsalgia is one of the more com­mon foot­pain complaints seen by MedicalProfessionals. The causes are diverse and

the pain can be debilitating.Keratosis (Callus): Callus is a thickening

of the skin, and in the feet it is often notedunder the forefoot. This may be due to a“dropped” metatarsal, or an abnormal footposition. The repetitive pressure created bythese conditions can result in tissue build­up. Hammertoes are frequently a contribut­ing factor as they can significantly changethe metatarsal angle.

The Role of Biomechanics: There aremany biomechanical reasons why metatar­salgia may occur. Excessive pressure canlead to callus, fat pad wasting, inflamma­tion, and associated pain.

Other possibilities may include trauma,post­surgical side effects, arthritis, Morton'sneuroma and neuromuscular diseases caus­ing muscle imbalance.

Metatarsal Pads: The most common ap­proach to treating metatarsalgia is to of­fload the affected area.

Foot Care: Treating metatarsalgia

THE ageing process takes enough of a tollon the human body. As we age, the brainis susceptible to various degenerative pro­cesses ­ from simple lapses in memoryand concentration to outright cognitivedecline or Alzheimer's. Fortunately, thereare simple ways to keep your brain healthyinto your golden years. Here are threebrain boosters to keep you on your mentaltoes:

Feed It: Your brain needs sound nutri­tion to function optimally. The outermembrane of brain cells requires a con­stant supply of fatty acids. That's whereomega­3s can help (Omega 3­6­9). Cho­line, a B vitamin present in high amountsineggs,broccoliandothercruciferousveg­etables, wheat germ and tofu, may alsobe important for brain neurotransmitterfunction while benefiting mood and men­tal performance. Fish, such as Pilchards,Tuna and Salmon are also consideredgood brain food.

Exercise It: Research suggests consis­tent physical activity can help peoplemaintain memory and cognitive functionas they age. According to at least onestudy, the exercise necessary to achievebrain benefits involved simple activitiessuch as walking, gardening, cooking andcleaning.

So all mothers who thought that theirbodies were deteriorating by being do­mestic are actually incorrect.

If you plan your days and choresaround the house, these can be most ben­eficial to you! The main reason being thatthere is so much to do, that you are com­pelledtobeefficient,timeously,kill 'manybirds with one stone'.

PRECISION, SPEED and on TIMING(These create the best martial artists).Another recent study showed that aftera year of lifting weights twice a week, el­derly women performed significantly bet­ter on tests of mental processing com­pared to women who participated in abalancing and toning program instead.

So, mom, in addition to your dailyhousehold pleasures engage in a regularexercise programme. Stimulating yourpulse rate and “working up a sweat” is ide­alforthebodytofunctionoptimally. Itwillincrease your state of health by strength­ening your body, compelling you to be bet­ter than you ever thought that you couldbe.

Boosting your self confidence, esteemand worth AND enabling you to carry outyour daily tasks with ease.

Challenge It: In a sense, if you don'tchallenge your brain, stagnation can setin, leading to all sorts of problems over

time. The solution is simple, research sug­gests: challenge your brain. How?

Try crossword puzzles, chess, wordproblems or other strategies to keep yourbrain alert and engaged.

Try not to let technological conve­niences (calculators are a great example)replace using your mind to figure thingsout.

The moral is simple: Take care of yourmind and your mind will do the same foryou. Keep yourself thinking only thoughtsof a positive nature.

Do deep breathing exercises; at least20 deep breaths; breathe in through yournostrils and out fast through pursed lips.

After deep breaths, keep your eyesclosed and observe all this positive energyflow through your body. The body is re­ox­ygenated, and has toxic chemicals moveout of it during this process. Some pa­tients even feel a tingling sensation aftera good breathing session.

Household chores andcooking nourishes your

KWADUKUZA mayor Ricardo Mthembu hascalled upon leaders to put effort into ensur­ing that the lives of youngsters who grow upon farms “do not end there”.

Mthembu paid a visit to the Saxe Farm

recently and said he was concerned aboutyoung black youth who are field labourers.

Mthembu urged young blacks who growup on farms not to be afraid of “grabbing op­portunities” in urban based industries.

He said they should have an open mindabout democratic South Africa as many op­portunities in the urban centres of economydo exist. He added that it was his responsibil­ity as a leader to change that legacy.

According to Phume Ndumo chil-dren do what they see what their par-ents do rather than what they are toldto do. “Wemustmodel goodmoneybe-haviourtoourchildren,”shesaid. Ndu-mo also advised parents to talk to theirchildren about money.

“OnethingIbelievewemustnot givechildren clothing store cards to pur-chase clothes on credit.

“It isgoodtoletourchildrenwaitun-til we have money to buy them clothesthey need in cash. Thiswill teach themthevalueofwaiting. Instantratificationis killing us because we do not want tosave and wait until we have money tobuy things on cash.”

Ndumosaidshemadea lotofmoneyblunderswhenshestartedworkingde-spite the fact that shewasaBcomgrad-uate to an extent that purchasing herfirst home became a mission.

“Irealisedhowdifficultit must be for ordinarypeople who do nothave a backgroundincommerceorwhohave never workedfor banks to makesimple decisionslike saving fortheir children'stertiary educa-tion,how tobuyahome, how to buyshares and oth-ers.”

Ndumo haspublished twobooks '7 secretswhy the rich owntheir homes' and'From Debt toRiches'.

Ndumo'smission is toeducatethose whoare struggling

financially.TheClermontbornmother-of-two saidmany people do not under-stand how to use money.

“Peopledonotunderstand thatdebtcomesatacost. Iamamazedthatmanypeople who have credit cards have noidea about the interest rate they entail.Some buy cars on residualwhich is ex-pensive.

“The fact that our schools do notteachusaboutmoney isabigchallengefor our country. I believe that if peopleknew the implications and conse-quences of getting into debt, very fewpeople would have debt.

“I manage my money and do nothave lots of debts because I knowwhatawasteofmoneyit is tohavelotsofdebtand to pay interest. Cash is king andwhenyoupaycash formost things, youcan really seewhere yourmoney is go-ing.”Ndumo said each individual has a dif-ferent background and circumstanceswhere there will always be someonewho is better or worse than the other.

Shesaidthereisnoneedtocompete.“Whenwe start competingwith otherswemaywastethelittlethatwehaveandnot achieve our goals. Some peopleeven open clothing store accounts, buyexpensive furniture and cars to im-press others,” said Ndumo.

“All they are doing here is hurtingthemselves and their loved ones be-cause sometimes we may even betempted to steal or commit fraud tokeep up with others.”

Ndumo advised people to knowwhat is important to them and makesure they spend theirmoney toachievethat.

“Improve your skills so that you aremarketable and can get a promotionand a better job or even start your ownbusiness.

“Control your expenses and don'twaste money on unnecessary thingsthat will not make you better of in thelong run. We must stop overdressingand buying latest model cars. Investyour money in the stock exchange bybuying exchange traded funds.

“This is simple for an av-erage person to buy

shares, it isrelative-ly safe and thecosts are lowwhilereturnsaregood.”

Ndumo encour-aged people tolearn to save andinvest moneymonthly. Sav-ing and in-vesting be-fore spend-ing isessential, ac-cording toNdumo, sincemany peoplespend all their

Cows for cancer

DEBI BLAKE

MOREthan20cowswillbecyclingfrom Pietermaritzburg to Dur-banonSunday13Octoberinthe

2013 Amashova Cycle race from Pieter-maritzburg to Durban!

Okay...maybenotrealcows,butmorethan20cyclistsdressedincowsuitsped-alling for all they’re worth.

Their “moo”-vement is known as“TheCows” - a fundraisingarmofCHOC(the Childhood Cancer Foundation SA).

Fun-loving entrepreneur and Dur-banNorth resident,GordonReid,will beone of them.

“I joined The Cows as the emphasisis on theFUN in fundraising.We’re eachencouraged to challenge ourselves to beextraordinary, have fun and also raiseawareness towards cancer,” Reid toldFever.

The ideaofdoingsomethingdifferentall began in 2008when awoman, “Ker-rin Bain lost her daughter to cancer,” heexplained.

“After thegrievingandslowlygettingover theshockof losingherdaughtershebecame determined to help other par-entswhoweregoingtobeinthesamesit-uation.

“She convinced a work colleague -Cordi van Niekerk - to do an event insome kind of suit to raise awareness ofchildhood cancer. Cordi and five matesthen decided to do the 94.7 Cycle race inJohannesburg dressed up in cow suitsthat they had found at a fancy dressstore,” And so “The Cows” were born.

“The cow suit isn’t just for cycling,”Reidsays.“Infact,we’vehadCowsclimbKilimanjaro, do the Iron Man and runmarathons, andnext yearwe’ll bedoingtheMidmarMile in Cow triathlon suits!”

Reidwasintroducedtotheconceptbya friend and, “I fell in love with it! It’squirky, off-the-wall, fun, different, andhas a touch of lunacy attached.”

Thismarried, father of two admits tobeingabitofanadrenalinjunkie-havingjumpedoffMosesMabhidarecently-andalso enjoysmountain biking andwatch-ing Formula 1 racing.

“‘LoveLivingLife’’ isTheCowssloganand it’s pretty apt in my life.”

Reidhasbeen traininghard, “But notinmy cow suit!We have a huge event onthe eve of theAmashovawhere our CowCycling kit andCowSuitswill be handedout.”

Fundraising is from January to De-cemberandkit is handedout according-ly.

“The first target is R6 000 and youget some top-of-the-line cycling shortsand a shirt. The next target is R20 000where you get the full cow suit and thenthere is a corporate sponsorship whereR30 000 gets you a pie bicycle,” Reid ex-plained, who has been hard at work or-ganising events to raise money.

“I really want to raise awareness ofthe reality of childhoodcancer (bywear-ing the outfit) and try and support thecountless people who are affected by it.Thisdiseaseknowsnocolour,noageandno bounds. We need to stand togetherand help those being affected.

“I’ve never done this sort of thing be-fore, but I plan on doing a lot more of it

in the future.”Reid, theownerof aprinting

business, also supportsEthembeni School in CatoRidge - a school for physi-cally disabled and visuallyimpaired - “They’remy Cor-porate Social Responsibilityproject.”

Althoughonly 22Cowsare regis-teredforthisyear’sAmashova,Reidbelieves the number will increasein time. “At the 94.7 last year theyhad a total of 350 Cows cycling sowatch out, Durban’s numbersare als balling!”

But, afterasluggishstart, Stylegottheir act together, putting points onthe boards through inspirationalskipper Nazir Khan andNishen Gov-ender to level the scores at 23-23.

Lacking the BMT (BigMatch Tem-perament) at the death, Virgo’s un-forced errors resulted in their 25-27demise.

“Virgo is a quality team and to get

that kind of result after trailing bymore than eight points in both setswas awesome for us.We took our op-portunities and defended like ourlives depended on it,” said Nazir.
