The theme this year for WAD is: “Shared responsibility — Strength- ening results for an Aids-Free Gener- ation”. According to Liziwe Ntikinca, marketing officer at the Netcare King- sway Hospital, they acknowledge World Aids Day each year and this year they will incorporate it with their wellness days. “It is very important that we create awareness about HIV/ Aids on this day. However, it’s an on- going matter which should enjoy our attention throughout the year. People should be encouraged to learn and spread their knowledge about protec- tion against getting infected and spreading the virus,” Ntikinca said.

The KZN HIV and Aids Council warned that they will clamp down on individuals claim- ing to have a cure for the virus. Speaking at the HIV/Aids confer- ence in Pietermaritzburg earlier this month, Premier Senzo Mchunu reit- erated government’s message that there is currently no magic cure for Aids. He said those who insist that they have a cure are misleading those on antiretroviral treatment.

IF Ugu does not pay up its two-year arrearcontribution towards shared services thatit allegedly owes theUmdoniMunicipality,

the effect could ultimately be a three percenthike in Umdoni’s rates.

Thiswasthedismalpre-Christmasforecastthat Umdoni Chief Financial OfficerAdil Nun-kumar delivered to the year-end ExecutivecommitteemeetingonTuesday,19November.

Shared services is generally viewed as agood concept, in that it spreads the overheadcosts across several beneficiaries, providedevery participant pays its share. Ugu as thedistrictmunicipality is responsible forprovid-ing emergency services such as fire-fightingand disaster management.

An agreement was reached that Umdoniwould provide the actual service which itwould share with Umzumbe and Vulamehlowhich would each pay their share as wouldUgu as the responsible parent municipality.

Aftersomeinitialhesitance,Umzumbehasmet its responsibility.Vulamehlo is aboutR1 million in arrears and from2016 on, is ex-pected to become part of Umdoni. Ugu owesabout R3 million, covering much of the pasttwoyears. Theonlyalternativeincometomeetthat gap will have to come from the rateswhich, at about one percent for every R1 mil-lion, would add about three percent on torates. Themeeting agreed that in the circum-stances, going it alone in futuremight be Um-doni’s best option, hopefully after receivingUgu’s payment.

Potential Umdonirates hike on thecards

Resort denies fire-loss responsibilitySETON THOMPSON>>[email protected]

THEfireattheRockyBayLodgeandResortnearPark Rynie that destroyed awooden bungalowand left a newly-wedded couple deprived ofmany of their possessions a few weeks ago(Fever,8November),hasgeneratedconsidera-ble collateral heat since then.

Martin Potgieter, a witness to the event, hasaccused the resort of non-compliancewith fire

regulationsandconsequentcontributionto thedamage done.

However, Rocky Bay Lodge managerAnnien Kouluntis has come back fighting, in-sisting that the major contributory factor wasacoincidentalpressurefailureintheUguwatersupply “asa result of aburstpipe somewhere”.

She pointed out to the Fever that the insur-ance company had paid out in full following aforensic investigationwhichfoundnoculpabil-ity or liability on the resort’s part and said thatthe official municipal view had supported thatcontention.

The latter fact is significant since theUmdoni municipal fire chief Bongani Ntsede-sha told the Fever that the resort’s fire hosecould not reach the fire from its hydrant, andthat a garden hose had been used.

Kouluntis refuted this, saying that itwas thelack of water pressure that had made the firehose largely ineffectual.

“Yes,wediduse thegardenhoseandpeoplewith buckets and bowls and anything thatwould help in the fortuitous absence of ade-quate water pressure in the fireline.”

Kouluntis said that the resort management“

isintheprocessofacquiringasubstantialpumpthatwill largelyeliminateourrelianceupontheUgu supply. We are not required to do so, butitmakesgoodsenseinthisareaandthesetimes.

“Aswe have already stressed, we deeply re-gret the incident and the loss it caused but thatdoes not imply any liability on our part.”

SAPPHIRE Coast Toti Tourism re-ceived an early Christmas presentwhen it was told that the budget to

kick-start the first stage of the “green cor-ridor” had been approved for developingtheareaattheNgwaneWaterfallsjustout-side Toti.

Delegates from the tourism office, theToti Conservancy, Cllr André Beetge andotherinterestedpartiesvisitedtheareaonTuesday,29November,todiscussthepos-sibilities and the way forward.

Kim McCarthy from Sapphire CoastToti Tourism explains that this first steplaysthefoundationtodevelopingandpro-moting facilities for active and passiveoutdoor recreation, promoting intercul-tural exchange and laying the basis fortourism in these areas, combining out-

door adventure, nature and culture.“The pay-back is job creation and de-

velopingaclimatewithincommunitiesforleisure, sports and tourism, through theprocess of developing recreation facili-ties,” McCarthy says.

Environmentalstewardshipisencour-aged through rehabilitating and main-taining rural and urban riverine openspace corridors through alien clearingand re-vegetation, controlling illegaldumping andwater pollution, and devel-oping sustainable solutions through par-ticipative upgrading and managementmodels.

Ideas for activities around the falls in-clude a horse riding trail, which waslaunched earlier this year, a zip-slideacross the gorge, fishing, braai facilitiesand rural home-stays. Phase twowill runagreencorridor fromtheNgwaneWater-falls to the Toti lagoon.

UNPOPULARresolution reviewed

SETON THOMPSON>>[email protected]

UMDONI Councils’ Executive Committee agreedwith Speaker Sykes Naidoo’s summation “that itispossiblethatawardcouncillorwillhaveabetterunderstandingofhisorherconstituentsthandoesExco itself”.

This conclusion arose from the fact that Coun-cillor Themba Ngcobo, the ward councillor forWard 6, had previously argued that the residentsof Riverside Park, who took ownership of theirhomes, shouldnotbesubjected to their titledeedsbeing endorsed pending the settlement of arreardebts they owed to the municipality.

The issue had become a hot potato both incouncil and in the streets of Riverside Park.

The outspoken Ngcobo had staunchly arguedthat“theANCisthevoiceofthepoorandmarginal-ised in our society and, as such, is committed toeverypersonowningtheroofoverhisorherhead”(Fever, 8 November).

This clearlywent downwithmuch greater ap-proval than did Exco’s reversal of that decision ina subsequent resolution favouring endorsementof title deeds.

Themeetingagreedthat theissueshouldbere-ferred to the November meeting of council in ageneral committee, the lastof theyear, for theres-olution tobereviewedanddecideduponbyall thecouncillors.

“We are investigatingthe case, however noarrests have been madeat this stage,” CaptainThulani from the SAPSMedia Centre Zwane toldthe Fever.

Already there has been a report of localdrunken revellery in one of the main beachparking lots with four women being accost-

Editorial commentSAPS, crime fighters have hands full

Dear Fever,BY now, all of us living in the

“new South Africa” know that weare not safe in our own homes be-cause criminals are fearless, lawlessand their actions are without conse-quence. Therefore we go to extrememeasures to protect ourselves atour homes, but how vulnerable arewe when visiting public places?

This past weekend was confir-mation once again that we are allon our own, with no law enforce-ment or measures to protect us.

On Saturday afternoon myfriend I and went to the Toti mainbeach with our teenage daughtersto have an ice-cream. It was just usfour girls — our husbands were inGauteng on business.

When we parked our vehicle inthe parking lot, we saw a group of“beachgoers” gathered around a

car. They were dancing to loud mu-sic and drinking beer. We walked byquickly in order to access the beach,but one of the men in this drunken,rowdy group stepped forward andtouched me inappropriately whilemaking sexual remarks. We ignoredit and proceeded towards the beachswiftly in order to prevent any con-flict especially because we had ourgirls with us.

This drunk man however, fol-lowed us and started hurling com-ments our way again. I was scaredand I’m sure the two girls were too,but my friend who’s been througha hijacking and armed robbery be-fore totally lost it. She moved in be-tween us and this individual andtold him very aggressively andmade it loud and clear that if hecomes near us or touch one of usagain, she’s going to punch him in

the face. She displayed so much ag-gression that he got the messageand backed off.

It saddens me to think that ourbeautiful beaches aren’t safe any-more — four girls can’t go to thebeach on a Saturday afternoon any-more. There are no law enforcementofficersinsight. The“carguard”wasdancing like a hooligan with thedrunks in the parking lot. Apparent-ly it is acceptable for people to drinkin public and harrass beachgoers,and there is just nothing that no onecan do to stop it or make it safeagain for us. Sapphire Coast Tour-ism spends money to attract tour-ists to our beaches and facilities, butwith the lack of law enforcementand order, criminals like these willkeep chasing visitors away.

Toti main beach‘UNSAFE’ Dear Fever,

MY September water account from Ugu came likea bolt from the blue with an amount of R1 500 whenI normally pay around R500. To add insult to injury, dur-ing the account period, the municipality was replacingold pipes and we had no water for days, so how comewe managed to use more than usual.

Another complication is that when they turn the wa-ter off, air gets into the pipes and the pressure from thewater compresses the air so that when the tap isopened, the air rushes out at the same speed as the wa-ter. I am not the only complainant — there are plentyof others.

I went to see Ugu at Park Rynie after I received myfirst account and spoke to the receptionist, Zama. I ex-plained that my average account for the previous sixmonths was R454.12. She agreed that it could be theair in the pipes I was paying extra for. She checked withan Ugu technician who thought the same and Zama toldme to write to Ugu and send them the average.

I did so, but have had no response except that mynext account had the difference added on. As they prob-ablysurmisedIwoulddo,Ipaidthefullamounttheotherday to avoid being charged interest as well. In otherwords, the offender gets away with the offence and we,the long-suffering public pay the consequences.

Dear Fever,AND they say that the crime rate is

down — that’s a joke, and a fallacy, writtenby someone who lives in Cuckoo La-LaLand.

Murder and mayhem all around usfolks … be warned.

Lock your doors, batten down thehatches, get rid of your safe and put a noteon the front and back door and all the win-dows telling everyone you have pawnedit.

Christmas is upon us, presents are be-ing bought and wrapped, so let me give outanother warning, criminals are very awareof this and are looking for earlypickings, so be on your guard.

Go to your nearest sign-maker and getone made — “No presents here”, thatmight be another deterrent.

No folks, the reality of the situation istruly frightening and it appears as thoughour hard-working SAPS are fighting a los-ing battle.

I read that their leave has been cut rightdown over the festive season, so remem-ber those who try to keep us safe andsound during the 2013/2014 festive period.

SMILE AWHILE

Dear Fever,THAT Jay Singh, Tongaat mall builder, is “going

down” (Sunday Tribune, 24 November) is a step inthe right direction. How he was able to get away withhis alleged criminal ways is unbelievable. It turns outhowever,accordingtonewspaperreports,hewasableto for many years.

If he goes down then so should the rest of the castin this murderous play of alleged corruption andbribery, including the eThekweni city manager, themayor and all those city officials who, it is claimedin the article, were allegedly “in bed” with Singh.

The city manager has the audacity to utter “Wedo not have blood on our hands”. Try telling that to

Zakhiti Nxumalo and Leonard Masuku’s family. WhatI fail to understand is how stopping the construction(read destruction) of the mall was impossible. Howdid the city manager and his crew expect that“putting up stop-work notices” and “going to court”would stop construction — paper and an order fromthe court? Get real, man. What about trying a posseof SAPS, or even the army, to stop construction?

Those who are allegedly “in bed” with Singh de-serve the full might of the law to come down on them,however, I suspect that some co-conspirators will slipthrough the cracks or disappear under the radar andget away with everything.

Beste Fever,IN die huidige ekonomiese klimaat kan ‘n mens

jouself seker gelukkig ag indien jy nog werk het en ‘ninkomste verdien.

Maar met dié dat een persoon die werk van velemoet doen sodat maatskappye geld kan bespaar, kanmaatskappye darem sekerlik in opleiding ten opsigtevan hierdie mense investeer.

Almal is deesdae oorlaai en oorwerk en dit wilvoorkom of baie in bestuursposisies nie die vermoëhet om ‘n span doeltreffend te kan bestuur nie. Teg-niese ondervinding en kennis is noodsaaklik, maar disnet so belangrik om goeie mense verhoudinge tehandhaaf sodat ‘n mens se span hul volle potensiaalkan bereik.

Ongelukkig besef maatskappye dit te laat en ver-loor daardeur sleutel werknemers. Dit terwyl dieoplossing eintlik heel eenvoudig blyk te wees – stuurbestuurders op bestuurskursusse. Nie net om pros-esse doeltreffend te kan bestuur nie, maar personeelook sodat die maatskappy met al sy verskillendeafdelings optimaal kan funksioneer.

Dit is die einde van die jaar en almal is oorwerken oormoeg, maar vir die nuwe jaar is dit beslis ietswaarna besighede moet kyk. Voeg sommer daarbykliëntediensopleiding en konflikhantering en dieformele sektor sal floreer en die ekonomie ‘n nuweinspuiting gee.

River mouth beach still strewnwith debris after recent stormSETON THOMPSON>>[email protected]

THE beach near the Nkombariver mouth in Pennington isstrewn with debris broughtdown by recent rains. Localresident Marthunus Steyncalled Ward 6 Councillor KenyArmugam to join him at thescene.

The councillor told the Fe-ver that the beach, whichstretches along to and past thethe Pennington Ski-boat Club,isapopularbathingalternativevenue to the Pennington mainbeach, particularly over theholidays.

“The beach still has debrisleftoverfromthe2012floodstowhich a large quantity of addi-tional lumber has been added.The municipality has to makean extra effort to clear up ourbeaches before they arrive, ifthe area is not to lose its popu-larity,” said Armugam.

THE 20 hectare E. J. Smith Dam on the Mzymai Riverat Umzinto has been infested with Kariba weed formostg of this year. This needs to be cleared to restorethepurityofthissignificantcontributortotheUmdoniarea’s water supply.

Although not intended as such, this is turning intoan intriguing contest between man and bugs or, moreprecisely, weevils.

The Department of Water Affairs (DWA) is cam-paigning on a dual front — in the one corner andweighing in at an average 80 kilograms each, are 10men and in the other corner with a combined weightof probably less than 0,1 kg are 10 000 (and rapidlyincreasing) bugs.

The men’s team is dragging the weed out withpitchforks and net scoops while the bugs are merrilyeating it up as part of their daily routine.

The winner will be the team that shows the most

cost-effective results.Karen Hope, who heads the project and both

teams,stressesthatthetwoteamscomplementeachother and that there is no competition.

Her view is arguably dictated by a desire not todemotivate the men who are performing wonderswhile the bugs couldn’t care less, confident in theirability to eat 24/7/365.

Kariba weed, which is known as such because itinfested the massive Kariba dam some 60 years ago,is a major threat.

It thrives on the high nutrients in water, which, inthis case, are boosted by Umzinto’s creaking seweragesystem.

The relevant measurement should not be lessthan 5,6 and at E. J. Smith it is around 3,5. The weeddoubles in volume about two weeks, the fastestgrowth of any such plant.

“We are in trouble if we don’t reverse the process,”says Umgeni Water’s Steve Terry who favours the useof the weevils.

Phenomenal ‘roll cloud’SONJA NELL>>[email protected]

AMANZIMTOTI, Bluff and Wentworthresidents were treated on Wednesdayafternoon, 20 November, to a spectacu-lar phenomenon not seen by many be-fore. A “roll cloud” moved over the Totiarea in the late afternoon followed bystrong winds and a thunderstorm.

Many people took pictures andphoned the weather office to find out ex-actly what it was. The weather office’sWiseman Dlamini said the phenomenonis usually caused by windy conditions.

“A roll cloud forms when there is asouth-westerly wind coming through.Usually just after the roll cloud there isa thunderstorm. Toti experienced asouth-westerly wind on Wednesday anda thunderstorm in the Toti area,” he said.

Local Toti resident, Suzette Pretoriuswho sent the Fever photos, said it tookabout 15 minutes to roll by.

“It was actually very scary. The windand the sea were very rough,” she said.

According to Wikipedia a roll cloud isa low, horizontal, tube-shaped relativelyrare type of arcus cloud. They differ from

shelf clouds by being completely de-tached from other cloud features. Rollclouds usually appear to be “rolling”about a horizontal axis.

Coastal roll clouds have been seen inCalifornia, the English Channel, the Shet-land Islands, the North Sea coast, Aus-tralia and now in the upper South Coast.

UMPHAKATHI wasoThuthwini (Turton),eMthwalume eningizimu yeKwaZulu Natalubhodla umlilo ngeNkosi uBhekizizweLuthuliwaseMathulini okubikwaukuthi ku-zomeleusukeendaweniukuzekwakhiwein-xanxathela yezitolo.

Umphakathi uthi kule ndawo yawokukhona amathuna, izitolo nerenke ya-matekisi.

Amalungu omphakathi athe asethumeleamaphepha eMnyangweni wezokuBusangokuBambisana nobuHoli beNdabukoKwaZuluNatal oholwanguNgqonqosheuN-kk Nomsa Dube-Ncube ukuthi ungenelelengobasebeyibhalele iNkosiLuthulibeyazisaukuthi abazimisele ukusuka endaweni ese-beneminyaka behlala kuyo, nabanamathu-na nezitolo ezinezimvume yokusebenza.

Abahlali bathi babhalele uMasipalawaseMzumbe oholwa yiMeya uNkunziGumede bewucela ukuthi ungenelele nawokulolu daba ngoba bathi iNkosi ayibathin-tanga ngalo ukuze ithole uvo lwabo kodwaifike seyibatshela ukuthi bazosuswa, yan-gashoukuthibazoyakuphi,nokuthikuzothi-wani ngamathuna nemizi yabo ngokunjalonezitolo zabo.

Baqhube bathi lolu daba selubahlaliselubhojozi, ngoba bathi iNkosi Luthuli ayiz-imisele ukuxoxa nabo kodwa ibonakala iz-imisele ngokuqhubeka nokuletha lezitolo.

Bathe baqala ukubhalela uNgqongqoshengomhla ka 18 kuLwezi (November) 2011beqala ukuzwa ngaloludaba. Bathi uNkkDube-Ncube wathumela imenenja ebhek-elele izindaba zobuholi bendabuko ukuthiingenelele.

Leyo menenja kubikwa ukuthi ayisekhoemhlabeni.

Emva kwalokho bathi abazange bathint-we kuze kubemanje njengoba iNkosi isibat-shela ukuthi bazosuka.

Ithintwa ngocingo abeFever, INkosiLuthuli iphendule yathi akukho muntuozovimba intuthuko esizweni sayo ngoba le‘project’ indala kakhulu akekhoumuntu on-gayazingaphandlekomuntuofikemanjeku-leya ndawo.
