“The tinfoil in thephotograph isevidence of the use of whoonga,”James Austin, manager of the TotiRugby Club told the Fever.

“It’s a widespread problem inToti and associated with manycrimes. Users will do anything toget their next fix and usually turnto crime in order to afford to feedthe habit,” Austin said.

Whoonga is a cocktail madefrom marijuana, rat poison andantiretroviral drugs. It has beenaround since 2010, mainly in theimpoverished townships aroundDurban, where it also seems tohave been invented.

Thedrug ishighlyaddictiveandusersexperiencecravingsafterthefirst use. Thehigh lasts for 45min-utes after which the user experi-ences severe stomach crampswhich are only (temporally) re-lieved by a fresh dose.

In February 2010, VumaniGwala from Durban, who runs amusic recording company, startedthe Whoonga Free project to helprehabilitate addicts. According tohim users are mostly unemployedyoung people.

As soonas they start using, theydecay into aworld of crime to sup-port the habit. Unfortunately, theproject closed in March 2011 dueto a lack of funding.

Toti hasmanywhoongaaddicts

at the post office boxes and ran-domly on pavements.

The SAPS said that they areaware of the vast number ofwhoonga users in Toti.

One of the SAPS officers saidthat it is very difficult to find thedrug on a person, as the tinystraws, which it is packed in, arehidden very easily.

Whoonga (also known asNyaope or wunga) is a streetdrug that has allegedly come in­to widespread use in South Afri­ca since 2010, mostly in the im­poverished townships of Durban.Although, it is claimed to be ap­pearing in other places in SouthAfrica as well. It is infamous forallegedly containing antiretroviraldrugs for HIV, but its exact ingre­dients are subject to many urbanlegends. Some versions arewhoonga contains classic psycho­active drugs like dagga (marijua­na), crystal meth or heroin po­tentiated by interactions withritonavir whoonga contains efa­virenz (alone or with the ingredi­ents mentioned above), whichsupposedly has psychoactive sideeffects.

State of Toti’s water revealed

SONJA NELL>>ucnews2@feveronline.co.za

THE canal that feeds along Bernadotte StreetpastKuswagSkool andKingswayHigh, aswellas the Toti river and estuary are in such a seri-ousstatefromthevastquantitiesofrawsewagedumped into them thatthe community is con-cernedabout therehabil-itation thereof.

As the project of re-placing the sewer linethat collapsed in Berna-dotte Street is nearingcompletion, a concernedmemberofthecommuni-ty invited theFever to ob-serve the effects the leak-age had on thewater, thesurrounding vegetationand the wildlife in the vi-cinity.

The Fever first visitedthe area on Sunday, 25Augustandfoundbyclos-er investigation that thewater inthecanalstillap-peared to be plagued bysewage. What concerns this member of thecommunity, who does not want his name to beused, is whether the area will be rehabilitatedwhen construction is complete. He also ex-pressedhis concernwith regards to theanimaland plant life which has been affected.

“I visit the area a lot— taking dailywalks inthebushandalongthecanal.Thedeteriorationoftheplantandanimallifeafterthesewageleakis devastating. I used to see many differentkindsof fish inthecanal,butnowthereareonly

fragments of shells and bones ofwater life thatdied. I also used to see porcupines, buck andother small animals, but not anymore. Theseanimals used to drink from the canal, but onecan only speculate as to what happened tothem,” he shared.

On our second visit on Wednesday, 28 Au-gust, we invited LauraTaylor and Corinne Win-sonfromtheTotiConserv-ancy along. We were ac-companied by Chris Fou-rie, the chairperson forthe AfriForum LowerSouth Coast branch, whotookwatersamplesatfourlocations from the canal,the Toti river and the la-goon.

The Toti Conservancyhas initially “opted to ex-ercise patience and con-tinues monitoring of thesituation”.

“The final stages of theconstruction work arehowever being reachedand therefore we wouldliketoknowwhetherafor-

mal environmental rehabilitation programmeis in place,” said Winson.

Fourie expressed concern as the quality ofthe water and the state of the surrounds ap-pears to be in a bad state and said AfriForumwill take thenecessary action should thewatertests reveala threat to theenvironmentandthecommunity.

A municipality spokesperson could not bereached for comment at the time of going topress.

Alleged Cogta support for paymentSETON THOMPSON>>ucnews1@feveronline.co.za

THEproposal topayR9,5 millioninsettle-mentofclaimsmadeagainst theUmdoniCouncil by former project manager Liq-

uid Platinum and contractor Sanyati Civilsseems to have travelled up the ladder to Cogta— the government’s Department of Co-Opera-tive Government and Traditional Affairs.

A proposal by the ANC majority in counciltomakesuchapaymentwasrevealedlastweekintheUpperCoastFever,30August,afterhintsof this intention were “leaked” into variouscouncil committee meetings.

What some councillors are now asking foris disclosure on why this claim is being made,how the figure is arrived at and why Cogtashould apparently be supporting its paymentbut, so far, answers are not forthcoming.

Two contracts are understood to lie behindtheclaims—aCogta-fundedMIGloanfor flooddisasterof aroundR370 millionandacontracttoupgradeUmzinto’sCBD, initially amountingto about R21 million and funded from themu-nicipality’s resources.

Both projects had a turbulent history butwere thought to have been resolvedwhen Liq-uid Platinum/Sanyati Civils came up with a

claim totalling about R45 million. Given thatboth projects were on a turnkey basis, wherethecontractortakesresponsibilityforcomplet-ing the job at his set price, this news set alarmbells ringing.

The claim has apparently since been mas-saged down to R9,5 million but according toopposition councillors, nobody is saying howthis is arrived at. This is understandably lead-ing to suspicions and speculation, particularlynow that ANC councillors, the officials con-cerned and apparently Cogata, through its at-torneys, are suggesting it should be paid. Untilnow, everybody had agreed that the claimwould be contested through arbitration. TheFever understands that Liquid Platinum waseven prepared to settle for R6,5 million, “sowhy pay R9,5 million?” asks one councillor.

Democratic Alliance caucus leader EdwynBaptie (see letters page7) has raisedquestionsin council regarding the issue and requestedthe opportunity to debate it. So far, this has notbeen granted. However, the alleged Cogta linkcould raise the issue to a higher plane. Cogta’smission statement defines one of its principalobjectives as “supporting provinces and localgovernment in fulfilling their constitutionaland legal obligations”.

“Does this do that?” asks Baptie.

New era of shopping for KZNA NEW era of shopping is about to hit KwaZulu­Natal,with the new Amanzimtoti store due to open in Sep­tember. The store promises to offer retail, commercialand reseller customers a wide variety of quality brand­ed products at low prices. Makro Rossburgh will closeit’s doors and relocate to Amanzimtotiin Arbour Road, across the road from Ar­bour Crossing.

Jean­Marc Carlier, general managerof the Amanzimtoti store, moves fromthe old Rossburgh store. He began hiscareer at Makro in 1993 as a sales man­ager in clothing. He was then appointedgeneralmerchandisemanageratMakroRossburgh and later moved to Spring­field. He was recently appointed gener­al manager at Makro Rossburgh. Hesays: “I have spent my entire career incommerce, wholesale or retail so havingthe chance to work with a great teamat the Amanzimtoti store is a privilege.”

The existing Rossburgh staff members are excitedabout the move to the new store and 90% of the staffwill be moving across. Twenty one new permanentjobshavebeencreatedandhaveallbeensourcedfrom

local communities and will be trained in systems, cus­tomer service and phone skills.

Makro is aware of the need for large corporates tocontribute to the upliftment and care of the broaderSouth African society. In partnership with Hope

Worldwide, Makro launched an excit­ing CSI initiative in 2012 which focuseson Early Child Development. (ECD) Theproject is called Succeed which standsfor “Supporting Centres and Careers inEarly Childhood Development”. Theaim of the project is to raise awarenessby demonstrating the steps and condi­tions for registering ECD centres, allow­ing practitioners to interact with gov­ernment departments around runningcentres and registration, as well as toassist ECD centres in the registrationprocess and providing quality and sus­tainable ECD services in our communi­ties.

The project builds the capacity of Early ChildhoodDevelopment centres that serve vulnerable children,so that the children in their care receive the stimula­tion, education, protection, development and nutri­

tion to fulfil their potential.The key elements of this project include nutrition,

early childhood development and English literacy.Early childhood is generally considered as the periodfrom birth to six and is the most critical time in a child’sphysical, mental and social development.

The focus is going to be on identified communitieswithin the catchment areas that Makro serves, wherethe poorest of the poor have been affected and wherethe need for care of children is the greatest. The goalis to create a sustainable programme that will bemonitored on an ongoing basis. This is a national initi­ative and Makro has committed to investing R6 mil­lion over the next two years.

Makro stores are also committed to the upliftmentof its surrounding communities and do local CSI work.Amanzimtoti is no exception and to celebrate thestoreopeningandinvestinthecommunity,adonationwill be given to charity organisations from the Amanz­imtoti area. The charity recipients have already beenselected and are in the process of being contacted.

The purpose is to encourage reading, in-crease awareness of the importance ofreading for thedevelopment of thenationandto promote publishing industry skills for thebenefit of South African and African authors.

Literacy is a cause for celebration sincetherearenowclose to fourbillion literatepeo-ple in theworld.However, literacy forall is stillan unaccomplished goal and an ever movingtarget, as one in five adults is not literate andtwo-thirds of those are women.

Art versus drugs initiativeSETON THOMPSON>>ucnews1@feveronline.co.za

THE Inkanyanezi Foundationfor physically chal-lenged people is anUmzinto-basedNGO working to-wards the socialupliftment of bothdisabled and ablebodiedmembers ofthe Umdoni com-munity.

One of its initia-tives has been aprogramme to fo-cus the attention ofthe local communi-ty, both adult and youth, onarts and crafts rather than ondrugs, alcohol and crime. Toachieve this, the foundationsought the help of Scottburghresidentandartistandcrafter,Louisa Watt.

Watthasprogressedsignif-icantly along this road, partic-ularly in the challenging Riv-erside Park area of Umzinto,

but her greateststumbling block isthe lack of a suita-ble venue. Thefoundation en-gaged the UmdoniMunicipality andwas allocated theuse of the Umzintohall or dining hallfor a couple of dayseach month.

Inkanyezi’s Ru-fus Veeriah ex-plains that in prac-

tise Watt has found this veryproblematic for various rea-sons.

“We don’t know where theblockages occur but when weget there at the appointedtime, therealwaysseemstobe

somebodyelsealready there,”he explains.

Watt initiated classes insketching, painting, sewing,découpage and ceramics, butadmits that the range of agesmakesunifiedclassesdifficult.

“What is needed is a relia-ble base from which to oper-ate, preferably where someequipment and materialscould be stored overnight andthenitshouldbepossibletoat-tract a larger number of stu-dents. This in turnwould ena-ble me to establish separateclasses for the different agegroupsandget suitablevolun-teers to assist me,” she says

Inkanyezi and Watt arehoping that the Umdoni mu-nicipal management willcome to the party and helpthem. Veeriah can be contact-ed on 082 774 4588 andWatton 039 976 0709.

Dear Fever,ONE of the fundamental

parts of human character isintegrity. Without integrity,onehas only oneprospect of acareer path to follow and thatis a politician. Let’s face it, ex-cept for the limitless financialbenefitswedon’tallwanttobepoliticians. Yet, integrity isone of the hardest charactertraits to findand identify in anindividual.

After complaining aboutbackstabbers, an acquaint-

ance sends me a cynical BBMmessage:“50friends,100fac-es.” Isn’t that thetruth?Again,unless you are a politician,then it’s something along theline of “one politician, multi-ple faces”. It all just dependsonwhatthepeoples’needsbe-fore the elections are.

Integrity is something thatdevelopsoveraperiodoftime.It is something that is cement-ed intoone’s characterduringupbringing. If not, a seriousgapisleftwhichwillfillupwithsuperficial insets, which over

time, develops into serious,deep-rooted evilness.

Charity starts at home.Therefore, live the example ofthe product you want to see.Be honest, be truthful, haverespect for yourself and oth-ers,bereliable,don’tbeatwo-faced backstabber. Say whatyoumeanandmeanwhat yousay. Let what you think, sayand do correspond. Hence,show integrity.

Be honest, be truthful, have respect

Dear Fever,CRIME is an important issue

in South Africa and because wehave become so accustomed toit, we unfortunately take it forgranted.

Sadly, it will get much worseasthemultitudesofunemployedincreaseand foodprices contin-ue to rise well above the officialinflation rate. Therefore, weneed tobe introducingmorepo-licingbySAPSreservists inScot-tburgh, but support is diminish-ing, due to economic realitiesand apathy.

The Scottburgh PartnershipPolicing(SPP)andtheSAPShavedeployed reservists in the Scott-burgh CBD since 2001. Theyhave successfully kept crime to

aminimum due to their visibili-ty. They made some 132 duringMayandJunehelpingtocontaincrimewithin theCBD, includingpossession of dagga, drinkinganddrunkedness, possessionofdangerous weapon and rob-bery.

The SPP has also deployedSAPS Bobbies on ScottburghMain beach in holiday periods.Thiswasdoneby increasing thesubscriberbaseandnot by rais-ing the monthly subscriptions.

Unfortunately, this has beeneroded by businesses closingdown, moving to the mall – andnew businesses not wanting tocontribute. Not so long ago,there were over 100 subscrib-ers, but this has fallen to 80 –comprising 62 businesses and18 apartment blocks. We thankthese subscribers who are con-tributing every month.

Inconsequence,nomoreSPPBobbies will be deployed on theScottburgh main beach during

the holidays to keep both localsand holidaymakers safe frommuggings and petty theft. How-ever, the four SAPS Reservistswill continue to patrol the CBDfor as long as businesses andapartments blocks subscribe tothe SPP anti-crime initiative.But, if the support declines anyfurther, the number of Reserv-ists on patrol will be reducedthus making businesses andshoppers easier targets forcriminal activity within ourCBD.

EDITORIAL COMMENT >>

Toti post office drugstory feedback

“A WIFE belongs in the kitchen and raising kids, whilethe husband attends to the family’s financial mat­ters.”

Many people would laugh at this archaic state­ment, but according to Riaan Odendaal, Momentumfinancial planner in Amanzimtoti, many people, bothmale and female, still maintain this view.

It is Momentum’s philosophy to change this andto persuade women that they should attend to theirown and the family’s financial matters. To underlinethis, Odendaal gave the following statistics:

• One out of four women will be alone by the age

of 64.• Eight out of 10 women will have to take control

of their finances at some stage of their life, and onlytwo of the eight will have no financial worries.

• Of the widows who have financial problems,80% lived comfortably when her husband was alive.

It is therefore of the upmost importance thatwomen get the best advice to help them plan theirfinancial future.

Odendaal invites women who have concerns re­garding their financial matters, to contact him on031 903 5364 for an appointment.

House and contents burnt out

SETON THOMPSON>>ucnews1@feveronline.co.za

ACOMBINATION of high flammability and theallegedlackofwatercontributedtoahouseandits contents in 4th Street Park Rynie beingdestroyed by fire at about 9pm on Sunday, 25August.

The occupants of house — the mother andchild — were asleep when the fire started.

ThefatherwasreturningfromDurbanatthetime.

According to eyewitness accounts, the Um-doni Fire Department was called to the scene

but the unit deployed lacked water and asuitable connection to a hydrant could not bemade. Another unit was sent but proved to betoo small to handle the blaze.

Ward councillor Kenny Armugam told theFever thathehadalsobeenadvisedbywitness-es that the fire crew appeared to have beentechnically overwhelmedby the task confront-ing them.

Theoccupantsof thehouse, theReddyfami-ly, escaped uninjured but lost all their posses-sions.

The cause of the fire is unknown at the timeof going to press.

Dear Fever,THE dog goes on a hunger

strike … silently with no placardannouncing his grievances. Yourdaughter’s boyfriend breaks upwith her and horror of horrors, ahuge pimple, rivalling Mount Ol­ympus appears on your son’s fore­head.

Natural and commonplace oc­currences, you may well say, butno, the cause of these catastro­phes is none other than the di­vorce.The“D”wordbecomesmoredreaded and unpopular thansome other choice, unmentiona­ble words. In fact to save yourselfa whole lot of grief, rather hang aplaque on your front door, so thatall and sundry stay informed.

So your new life as a single par­ent begins and you’re feeling justlike Captain Kirk navigating the

Enterprise — Divorce the FinalFrontier.You’re afraid,buteagertoexplore this new life and boldly gowhere you have never gone before.All the legalities have been dis­pensed with and now armed withyour 1,5 share of the pets, you areready to venture forward. The chil­dren also need to adapt to thisnew lifestyle, so everyone isthreading on eggshells.

Your children are so nice thatyou begin to wonder whether theyhave been abducted by aliens andreprogrammed. These teenagers,who used to turn their noses up atthe first sign of intimacy, now haveheart­to­heart conversationswith you.

Things are not so bad — youfoolishly lull yourself into thinking.Until, wait for it, those little angelsrealise that you’re also not going

to up and leave them. Suddenlythe façade of niceness falls awayand your little monsters return.Your innocent and guileless angelsnow discover their trump card, nota jack or ace, but the “divorce”card.

Like a master puppeteer or ac­complished pianist they know ex­actly which strings to pull andwhich buttons to press, to haveyou doing a jig to their tune. Thedancing does not stop when theygrow up.

Fast forward to the future andyour son is lying on a couch, re­counting how his parent’s divorcewas responsible for him becominganalcoholic, losinghisjob,hisfam­ily and very obviously his commonsense.

Rubbish at LongbeachunacceptableDear Fever,

BELOW is the rubbish dump 200 metres from the mainentrance to Longbeach at Mtwalume.

This is a disgrace, the Umdoni Munisipality must comeand remove this rubbish as soon as possible.

Iwitnessedablackman inawhiteMercedes-Benzdumphis black rubbish bag there. When he saw that I wanted toconfront him he drove away at high speed.

The residents at Long Beach experience the presence ofblue flies everywhere. The municipality must clean up thisarea and plant concrete poles so that no vehicle can enterthis area.

Iamgoingtowaitonlytwoweekstoseeforthistohappen.If it isnotcleanedbythen, thenIwill take thismatterupwiththe local MEC.

This is unacceptable. Monkeys and some black peopleare scrounging among the dirt.

SMILE AWHILE

Dear FeverA DECISION to pay Liquid

Platinum cc R9.5 million insettlementof claims lodgedbythat company and SanyatiCivils, totalling someR47 mil-lion, was introduced to theUmdoni council meetingagenda as a late item. Thispractise, which avoids usualprotocols of reporting, inter-rogation and debate, is beingfrequently used.

In a previous decisionbased on legal advice and au-dited results of transactions,themunicipalitymoved to de-fend against the claims. Thesudden about-turn in the ab-sence of a full briefing on thefactors, implicationsandrisksincluding by council’s attor-ney, leaves the bottom lineresting on ratepayers. It isthey who will have to pay the

R9.5 million plus legal costswhile Umdoni foregoes theservice delivery benefits.Thesearepublic fundsandwehaveadutytoensurethat theyare used cautiously.

For these reasons, the DArequested a special councilmeeting to review the deci-sion,but therehasbeennore-sponse. The mayor was re-quested to include the matteron this month’s Exco agenda,as a late, and urgent item. Myrequest was deemed by theSpeaker to be unproceduraland he moved that it be de-nied. The mayor and deputymayor (both Exco members)adopted the motion to deny,despite that theSpeaker isnotan Exco member. Such is themanner in which the game isplayed — procedure onlycounts when it favours the

majority agenda. The ques-tion now arises whether thedecision to borrowR7 millionto help fund relocation of thetestcentre isnot in factrelatedto payment of Liquid Plati-num’s R9,5 million. The gen-eralmanager financial servic-es did not explain how thesetwo large expenses will im-pact on this year’s budget andservice delivery, and futurerates increases.

TheDACaucushasdecidedto find out why it has becomenecessary toavoidarbitrationand how the payment will af-fect service delivery and ratesincreases. If necessary, wewill lodgeacomplaintwiththePublic Protector’s office.

All of which means that“now’s a good time to start”committee members pointedoutat theirAugustmeeting, in

the hope that theUmdoniMu-nicipality is listening.

They expressed concernthat Umdoni councillors andofficials seemed too relaxedover the situation and alsoover the advisability of gettinga recycling initiative underway as soon as possible.

“Theseconcernsneedtobediscussed and addressed be-tween the committee and themunicipality,” said committeechairman Conrad Klusener.

“For instance, excavationof the new additional sitecouldgreatlyhelp incover-fill-ing the existing one.

If we get the timing wrong,thecostsoftransferringourlo-cal waste to the next nearestsite in Durban could be astro-nomical.”

Recently, a designated de-pot had been erected to re-ceive items for recycling butthe modus operandi needs tobe established.

“Experience at PenningtonConservancy’s very success-ful, but much smaller recy-clinginitiative,hasshownthatdomesticbulkwastecanbere-duced by as much as 60% involume by recycling,” saysKlusener.

THE saying “the proof of the pudding is in the eating” is no moreapplicable than in the case of Dafco Painting and Decorating,which for the past 13 years, has provided exemplary service andquality workmanship to clients in KZN.

Being a manufacturer of the products that it uses and sells,means that using the highest quality materials (ISO 9001 ap­proved) in the manufacturing process does not equate to highprice of product to the consumer.

>> Dafco paints are guaranteed for seven years

Proof is inthe paint

All Dafco paints are guaranteed forseven years — which is remarkable in thisday and age of built in obsolescence.

FEITEIRAFEITEIRA readyfor EFC Africa debut>> Toti’s own to enter the Hexagon at EFC Africa 23 next Thursday

QUINTIN VAN JAARSVELD>>sports@feveronline.co.za

AFTER dominating theamateur ranks, Nelson“No Tap” Feiteira will

make his much antici-pated ExtremeFighting Champi-onship (EFC) Af-

rica debut when he clashes with crispCongo boxer Kanyeba Anicet at EFC Af-rica23atCarnivalCity,JohannesburgonThursday 12 September.

Feiteira, an IT engineer who alsocoachesmixedmartial arts, is amultiple

champion at amateur level who trainsout of Morné Swanepoel’s Team MMAFighter in Amanzimtoti. “It’s been adreamofmine to fightatEFCAfricaeversince I startedcompeting,” saidFeiteira,whohadhis firstbout fouryearsagoandhas a record of 6-3. “I didn’t expect it tocome so soon, but now that it’s here I’mdoing everything to make it count.”

Anicet will be entering the Hexa-gon for the third time. Experienc-ing a trial by fire debut against thefar more experienced Boyd Allenat EFC Africa 19, Anicet has con-sistently shownhigh level, spirit-

ed striking. Training hardwith renowned wres-tling coach JacquesRossouw has hisground game im-proving everysession, mak-ing him athreat thatgrowstough-er by theday.

“Anicet isincredibly

dedicated,” saidRos-souw. “He’s uppedhis ground trainingto double time. He’staking down highlevel wrestlers inthe gym now, heevenputanarmbar

on me the other day.With the hard les-sons he’s learned inhis last two fights,he’s ready to put italltogether.” Feitei-ra isaMMAfighter,

beginning his training with straightMMArather than transitioning froman-otherdiscipline. “I’mhappy to fightany-where,” he confirmed, “but I would saythat theground isprobablymy favouriteplace to be.” On the back of two losses,Anicet will be ready for full-scale war inhis bid to retain his place on Africa’sgreatest stage, however, Feiteira, with achampion’s experiencebehindhim,willbe a huge handful on the night.

Feiteira’s teammate and fellowAmanzimtoti standout Craig “Nemo”NinowwillalsobeinactionatEFCAfrica23 as he faces Francois Groenewald.Ninow suffered a hard-fought unani-mous decision defeat against CharlieWeyer at EFC Africa 20 and will be outtoproveapointinhissecondshowingforAfrica’spremierMMApromotion. “I feela lot calmer for this fight.Having experi-enced the whole EFC hype before, thistime I’m focused on doing my job andthat’s getting the win,” said Ninow.

Swanepoel admits that the pressureis mounting as fight night nears but in-sists his star duo are ready to deliver onthebig stage. “Thiswill be the third timethat two of my fighters are on the samecard. I think all coaches who are reallyconnected with their fighters will agreethat theywould rather be fighting as it isextremely emotional and physically de-manding having your boys train andfightatthebiggesteventonthecontinentandoneof thetoptournaments inworld,butbothNelsonandCraigare readyandlooking forward to representing Toti,”said Swanepoel.
