MORE than 20 000 eThekwini Munici-pality employees are threatening todown tools, claiming they are owed
millions of rand in back pay following a Su-preme Court of Appeal ruling.
The employees, some who are allegedlyowed up to R200 000 each, are to decide thisweekondates forpossiblestrikeaction,whichthey warn will “bring the city to a halt”.
They are angry that eight months after theappealcourtreversedtheconditionsofserviceagreement – implemented by the city in 2007–andordered theemployer tobackpayaffect-edemployeeswhohadbeenstrippedofallow-ances andotherbenefits, they are stillwaitingfor their money.
In October, in the wake of the ruling, citymanager S’bu Sithole established a technicaltask team to quantify the financial implica-tions for the municipality.
Therewere fears at the time that the rulingcould bankrupt the city, but Sithole had dis-missed this.
According to municipal union sources,eThekwiniowesworkersalmostR100million,which couldhave a crippling effect on themu-nicipality’s finances.
The municipality, however, contends thatwhatitowedemployeeswouldbeoff-setbythemonies it was owed by some employees whohadbeenoverpaidwhentheconditionsof ser-vice agreement was implemented.Theunionshavevowedtofightanyattempts
to get employees to pay back money.They believe the city is in contravention of
the court ruling.OnMonday night, city representativesmet
with the SA Municipal Workers Union (Sam-wu)andtheIndependentMunicipalandAlliedTrade Union (Imatu) and a report by the taskteam was discussed.
Imatu’s regional manager Themba Shezi,said that thenegotiationshadbeenconductedin good faith, but they had still not found com-mon ground on the city’s attempts to get em-
ployees to pay back monies.He said Imatu would be meeting with em-
ployees today (Thursday) to give them feed-back on the meeting.The option to strike was very much on the ta-ble, he said.
“Their anger is justifiable. We need to goback to them with what the city has said andit will be up to them what we do next.”
Imatu and Samwuplan to holdmassmeet-ingswith theirmembers todiscuss amandatefor a strike.
The municipality’s spokesman Thabo Mo-fokeng, said the discussions between the cityand the unions should be allowed to take itscourse.
“Thetechnicaltaskteamhasmadeprogressinundertakingthismassiveandcomplexexer-cise,whichgoesbacksevenyearsandinvolvesthousandsofemployeeswithnumerousprevi-ous different conditions of service and threedifferent pay systems,” he said.
“The technical task teamhas nowpresent-ed its report to the citymanagerand theunionleadership,anddiscussionshavecommencedat that level regardingasuitableway forward.
“These discussions are ongoing and havenotbeenfinalisedasyet.Itisconsequentlypre-mature to provide specific answers related toamounts, payment and time frames, particu-larly as thematterwill need to be further con-sidered by the executive committee,” Mofo-keng said.

FOR years a leaky shack was all HildaHlongwa could call home.
That changed on Tuesday whenthe 71-year-old pensioner was handed thekeys toanewbrickhouse inWaterloo,nearVerulam.
ThehousewashandedoverbyCo-oper-ative Governance and Traditional AffairsMEC Nomusa Dube-Ncube, with mayorJames Nxumalo, Arts, Culture, Sport andRecreation MEC Ntombikayise Sibhidla-Saphetha and other politicians.
Hlongwa,whohadbeenlivinginashackat the Ocean Drive-In informal settlement,near Tongaat, said she was thrilled.
She said she had no idea she would begetting a new home.
“My son came to fetchmeanddidn’t saywherewewere going and I almost fell overwhen theypresented thehouse tome,” saidthe mother of two.
“I am very grateful. I have been living in
unbearable conditions formany years andam very lucky to finally have a place I cancall my own.
“Theplacewhere I currently stay is bad.It leaks and when it rains, I don’t sleep be-cause I have to try to cover up things andmake sure they remain dry.”
There was also no electricity or basicsanitation.
“My shack is very small. I use candlesand I use a paraffin stove to cook which isnot healthy foran old lady.
“Butnoweverythinghasbeenmadeeas-ier.”Addressing a small crowd in HammondsFarm, Dube-Ncube said that the govern-ment was helping to improve living condi-tions.
“We just need you to take care of thesehouses and pay for services.
“And if you are not happy with some-thing, you need to talk to those concernedandrefrainfromburningthingsandclosingdown roads,” she said.
“Today townships, which were previ-ously neglected by the apartheid govern-ment, have access to water, electricity anddecent roads.”

SO much of our perspective and how we re-spond to the world around us relates to whatwe choose to think about. Recently I heard aphrase, the application of which is drasticallychanging my response to many situations.Over time,as thisbecomesmyhabit, it isgoingto helpmewith some behaviours I've wantedto change for a long time.
The phrasewas, "Why not choose fascina-tion rather than frustration?"
I used to get frustrated much more oftenthan I do now, because I've learnt that ratherthan choosing to be frustrated by a situationI can choose to be fascinated instead.
I still get frustrated sometimes, but thismental shiftmadeapositive impactonmylife.We all get frustrated. Things don't go ourwayand we get frustrated.
Oneoftheearlylessonswelearnaschildrenis that things don't always go the way youwant.
Our life experiences have confirmed this.We don't get the promotion, we don't like theway our boss talks to us, our car is making afunnynoise,wecan't findaparkingspace,ourchildren are becoming rebellious, and the listcontinues to become endless.
Our frustrations in life arebig and small. Incontrast, tobe fascinated is tobecaptivatedbysomething - to be interested.
When we are interested in something wenotice, we observe things.
When we are fascinated by something weare drawn to learn from or about it - quite adifferent response from frustration and theplaces it can lead us.
It is inevitable in life that things don't al-ways go exactly the way we'd like.
Typically people would then say that it isthen inevitable that we will be frustrated.
Thefrustrationhowever,isnotthesituationitself, but a response or a choice.
We have conditioned ourselves to choosefrustration.Wecanalso choose tobe fascinat-ed in these situations. Choosing frustrationcan lead to regret, anger, resentment andmore.
Choosing fascination can lead to under-standing, knowledge, and improved resultsandrelationships.Thechoice ismine.Andthechoice is yours.
Fascination orfrustration?

WHAT is Investment planning?Investment planning is the process
of identifying and implementing appropriate investment strategies tocreate and accumulate the financialresourcesforachievingfinancialgoals.
Investment planning seeks to accomplish two equally important goalsthatnaturallyconflictwitheachother.The first goal is to maximise returns oninvestments.Thesecondismostoftento minimise investment risk. Effectiveinvestment planning seeks to balancethese two goals in all areas of the investment planning processsothattheinvestor can achieve the desired outcomes. Broadly speaking, everyinvestor seeks to achieve one ora combination of the followingobjectives:>> Wealth creation>> Wealth protection>> Income generationBecause these objects are usually notcompatible, an investment planningexercise will often involve trying toreach the best compromise or balance.
Types of Investments:Unit trusts, endowment policies,
shares, collectables (paintings,stamps, etc), gold coins, property,tank containers, Eskom stock andfixed deposits/savings at the bank.One has to ascertain as to what timeperiod one wants to invest for beforethey decide.
Today we will cover Unit Trusts.What are Unit Trusts?Unit trust funds or collective in
vestment schemes give investors access to professionally managed baskets of shares in blue chip companieswhich are invested in the stock market. This is an open ended investment;ideally one should invest for a periodof five years or longer. You can eitherinvest on a monthly basis by debit order or you could do a once off lumpsum payment.
Unit trust funds are an extremelyflexible type of investment, allowingyou to withdraw money or put in extrawhen you want to, however if youwithdraw when the markets are downyoucouldlosepartofyourinvestment.Your choice is extremely wide – currently there are nearly 800 funds inSouth Africa available to individual investors,excludingoffshorefundsmarketed here. These cover all asset classes, asset subclasses (for example, resources shares or financial shares) andvarious mixtures of asset classes.However, not all funds are available tosomeone who wants to invest R500a month; for many, the monthly minimum is higher.
There are various types of funds,according to the assets the fund invests in. We consider here just threecommon broad types of unit trust:lowrisk domestic money marketfunds, mediumrisk domestic prudential funds, and highrisk domestic equity funds.
Only the money market funds offeryields in line with prevailing interestrates, but they are usually better thanmost bank deposit rates, althoughyields can fluctuate daily. The othersare subject to the fluctuations of themarkets and returns can vary widely.In the unit trust universe, activelymanaged funds, in which fund managers move in and out of assets to takeadvantage of market conditions, generally have higher asset managementfees and often also charge performance fees.
If you are investing monthly, ratherthan investing a lump sum, yousmooth out your returns (when theunit price drops, your monthly R500buys you more units). Your savings arediscretionary, so that, in the case ofthe markets taking a dip just beforeyour five years are up, you could probably afford to keep them in a while longer to “ride out the storm”. The perfor
mance and returns are not guaranteed, neither is your capital.

mation.If you do not have a financial ad
viser, you could contact me on 083399 3905 or my office on 032 9443051 for an appointment.

MORE than 2 000 people par-ticipated in the10thGandhi-Luthuli Salt March on Sun-
day,whichsnaked itsway17kmfromInanda to the King’s Park AthleticsStadium.
Amongst the marchers were anumber of Tongaat, Verulam andShakskraal residence.
Sixty-five-year old Loga Aru-mugam of Tongaat said he attendedall of the Gandhi events and said themarch is growing in leaps andbounds.
Tongaat Panthers’ Anthony Nai-doo said he also participated in anumber of the Gandhi marches andthe only problem is that “you have tofollow the leaders and you cannotovertake them”.
Ela Gandhi the granddaughter ofMahatmaGandhi race told themediawheninterviewedafterthemarch:“Itwas exciting to see such a good re-
sponse from the young people of thecommunity. It is pivotal that themes-sage of non-violence should bespread to our future leaders.
“Each year the number of peoplegetting involved is growing, and thatis encouraging. I am also happy themarch took place without any inci-dents or any problems.”
Venilla Govender of Cape Town, aformer resident of Tongaat, said sheparticipated for the first time in a
march of this nature.“The march was unique because
you are obliged to follow the leadersand it is totally different from an ath-letic walk or a competitive race.”
David Doorsamy of TrenancePark,Verulamsaidhewalkedthedis-tance for the first time.
“It was very exciting. My legs area bit sore.
“Iwill take part in the shorter ver-sion of the walk next time.”

Let me start by explaining the definition of a Calorie. What is a calo-rie? A calorie is the quantity of heat required to raise the temperatureof 1 gram of water 1 degree Celsius, in another words a calorie is ameasure of heat energy.When food is burned, it releases a certain amount of heat (energy),depending on the type of food, for example; Fat has more calories (9calories per gram) than Carbohydrates (4 calories per gram) and Pro-tein (4 calories per gram). The more calories that are in the food, themore energy will be released when it is burned and whatever surplusenergy that is not used by the body will get stored as adipose tissue(body fat).All foods that have a high fat content will be considered high caloriefoods. There are some fats that are good and essential for the body(Unsaturated Fats) which need to be consumed in the right quantitieslike your omega 3 and omega 6, also known as your healthy fats. Al-though fats are high calorie foods and should be limited, there are alsosome lower calorie foods which are just as, if not more destructive toone’s health. What foods am I talking about? I am talking about theprocessed carbohydrates that are so readily available today, like yoursugary foods. Any food that is not in its most natural form is consid-ered harmful when over consumed, even though it has lower caloriecontent than your fatty foods. These foods cause a huge glucose (bloodsugar) spike in the blood stream and continuous glucose spikes couldlead to diabetes. These large spikes also means surplus glucose andwhatever glucose is not used for energy will be stored has body fat(adipose tissue).Most people do not worry about calories until they decide to go ona diet or weight loss program and even then they don’t know whata calorie really is or how much to consume. The first place to startfor anybody who is looking at losing weight, gaining weight or evenmaintaining weight, is to first find out how many calories per day theyrequire for maintenance and then adjust their calorie consumption ac-cordingly.Estimating your calorie consumption by the food you eat on a daily ba-sis and then dropping your calories by eating less for weight loss doesnot have a very positive effect. If you cut your calories by too muchwhich you will eventually do because every time you hit a plateau, youlower your calories even further to see results and that will send yourbody into starvation mode which will lower metabolism and a lowermetabolism will make it much easier for you to put the weight that youlost back on and even more.Therefore it is important to count calories when going on a weightloss program. This way you can monitor your weight loss and makesmall adjustments accordingly without lowering you metabolism andjeopardizing your health.

CERTAIN kinds of fibroblasts, the cells that form basic tissue structures, play a major role in scar formation, fat accumulation and inflammation, says new research.This is according to a University of Rochester Medical Center studyin the October issue of the American Journal of Pathology.New light shed on the role of fibroblasts
The finding offers new information about the role of fibroblasts,all of which were previously assumed to be little more than scaffolding on which more important cells would climb. This new information may help explain why some people suffer from unexplainedinternal scarring around their vital organs, which can result in seriousdiseases of the eyes, heart, lungs, intestines or kidneys.

When they're uncontrolled,myofibroblasts result in fibrosis of the liver, kidneys, lungs and heart.Lipofibroblasts develop into fat cells and lead to thyroid eye diseaseand harmful accumulation of fatty tissue in the liver, spleen andbone marrow. In this study, Phipps and his team discovered surfacemarkers that identify which fibroblasts have the potential to changeintomyofibroblasts or lipofibroblasts.Theynowplantomorecloselyinvestigate the pathways for this cell transformation.

What's behindSCARRING
The study may also help doctors better understand why some accident victims and surgical patients scar easily and take longer to heal than others.The findings could lead the way to new drugs thatstop unhealthy scars or fatty tissue from developing.
A useful diagnostic tool?This is the first clear demonstration that certain
kinds of human fibroblasts can develop into scartype or fattype cells, lead author Richard Phipps,professor of environmental medicine, microbiologyand immunology, oncology and paediatrics, says ina prepared statement.
In fact, results show that some fibroblasts mayprove to be a useful diagnostic tool by providing clues

I wish you were here today even for just a little while so I could sayHappy Birthday “son” and see your beautiful smile.
The only gifts today will be the gifts you left behind;The laughter, joy and happiness... precious memories...the best kind.
Today I’ll do my very best to try and find a happy place...struggling to hide my heavy heart and the tears on my face.
I’ll sit quietly and look at your picture thinking of you with love;hoping you’re doing ok in Heaven up above.
May the angels hold you close and sing you a happy song...and I’ll be sending wishes to you today and all year long.
From The Govender family
Happy 30th Birthdayin Heaven

THE limit on overseas playerscould restrict JacquesKallis to thesidelines occasionally, accordingto Asianmedia reports as the sev-enth edition of the Indian PremierLeague gets underway in AbuDhabi on Wednesday.
Champions Mumbai Indianstackle Kallis’s KolkataKnight Rid-ers outfit in the tournament open-er (16:30 SA time).
The teams may only field amaximumof fourof theiroverseasstars, and it seems theKnightRid-ers, at least initially, will definitelywant to play Bangladeshi all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan, plusWest Indian spin maestro SunilNarine and Kallis’s compatriotMorne Morkel in the bowling de-partment.
That would leave a toss-up be-tween the 38-year-old, versatileKallis,whohas slashedhisoverallcricketingworkloadbutstillwantsto feature in South Africa’s 50-oversplanstothe2015WorldCup,and emerging Australian bats-man Chris Lynn for the extra
berth.Lynn is a 24-year-old Queen-
slanderwho didwell for BrisbaneHeat in last season’s Big Bash andearned his first two T20 interna-tional caps for theAussies againstthe touring England side – al-though his CV is infinitely lighterthan that of much-travelled Testicon Kallis.
WisdenIndia (www.wisdenin-dia.com) has done an exercisesuggesting which overseas play-ersarelikelytobepreferredinide-al “first XIs” among the eight IPLfranchises.
“Kolkata’sbattingappears thinand lacking in firepower, but withNarine and Morkel in the (bowl-ing) mix, it will be difficult to relyonly on overseas batsman ... (theymight)takethedebatablecallofin-cluding the rawLynnover legend-ary Kallis.”
Whether that happens tooquickly remains to be seen, giventop-order stalwart Kallis’s addi-tional value as a seamer and theexcellence of his catching, even if
Kallis ousted by young gun?
his mobility in thefield may be waninga little with advanc-ing age.
It is possible Kal-lis will be rotatedduringtheeventsim-ply to respecthis vet-eran status and en-sureheisathisfresh-est for the franchisein games where hisexperience is mostneeded.
