WEEK-LYDurban to sell power to the grid
>> Homeowners will gain in new plan
JONATHAN ERASMUS
ETHEKWINI households could beturned intominiature power stationspushing out energy onto the powergrid.
If the city is given the go-ahead bySouth African energy regulator Ner-sa, Durban could be a trailblazer indelivering clean renewable energy tothe metropolitan’s grid from therooftops of suburban homes.
The city is expected to launch itsresidential off-set programme on 1July when the new electricity tariffscome into effect.
Wealthier residents are expectedtobeamong the first to climbonto thepower generating train due to thelarge cash outlay for the expensivetechnology, but industry insidershave confirmed that financing mod-els have already been created —opening up doors for middle-incomehouseholds to slash their householdenergy costs.
Chief electrical engineer at theeThekwini electricity unit LeshanMoodliar said the ambitious pro-grammeisa“riskwearewillingtoac-cept”, but addedamultitudeof “tech-nical studies” still need to be ex-plored.
“There isamassiveuptake for this
typeof energy inEuropebutwith thiscomes plenty of regulations, stand-ards and safety. We are infusing riskontothegrid.Thereismassiverisk[toour infrastructure and staff] but it isvery exciting,” said Moodliar.
According to a document called“Residential Embedded GenerationTariffs” on the city’s website, import-
ed energy will be “off-set against ex-ported energy at a ratio of 1:0,65”. Itcontinues tosay thatexportedenergywill only be off-set “to a maximum ofthe imported energy” and any excessexported energy will be “forfeited[and] no carry-overs are allowed”.
Households will have two meters—onetomeasureexportandanotherto measure imported energy.
“Nine out of 10 times there will beno cost to the resident chargedby the
citytobeincludedontotheoff-setpro-gramme, but they will need to followa pre-set application and applicationprocess and use equipment of an ac-ceptable quality,” said Moodliar.
Meanwhile, industrysourceshavewarned the public to be cautious offly-by-night energy saving compa-nies selling sub-standard equipmentwith little or no guarantee.
James Shirley from SchneiderElectric said: “In South Africa, thelargest uptake for renewable energyproductshavebeentheupperincomeearnerswhocanaffordtheinitialpay-ment but see the long-term savingsand those in rural areas who cannotwait for electrification. The middle-income group are less likely as theydon’t have the immediate cash.”
GregWenzler,ownerofTasolSolarin KwaZulu-Natal, which is fran-chised throughout the country, saidevery house’s saving would dependon the usage.
“An average household in Durbanuses about 800 kW in a month, al-though areas such as Umhlanga aremuch higher from 1 400 kW up-wards. The number of solar panelsyou have will also depend on the

SHANNON HOPKINS
THENorthCoastexperiencedgi-ant swells, reminiscent of thedestructiveMarch2007storm,
last week.Lifeguard supervisorBonganiXu-
lusaid thewaveswere“easilyeight to10 feet high” at times. Beaches wereclosed on 15,16, 21, 22 and 23 Junedue to rough surf conditions, and be-causesomeofthesharknetsweredis-turbed, making beaches unsafe.
Xulu said there was an incidentlast week where two local brotherswent out on their paddle skis, facingthe huge waves at Thompson’s Bay,despite there having been a red flagup to signal danger.
In their attempt to get to back line,they got caught in a side wash.
Xulu said oneman lost his surfski,while the otherwas washed onto therocks. “I told two of my fellow life-guards to rush there to help. We dis-patched a jet ski from Salt Rock and
IPSSRescueandNetcareparamedicsalso responded to the scene.
“Luckily the brothers were res-cued with just minor scratches andwere inastablecondition,”saidXulu.
A Chaka’s Rock resident, LeonGroenveld, said he could feel the vi-brations of the waves at his cliff-sidehomeas theypounded theshore,andthat waves damaged part of the cliffat Morewood Cove.
A cliff shelf was broken off andlanded on the beach below, he said.
“Some people had been sittingabove the shelf that collapsed, theywere very lucky not to be hurt.
“The man-made subsoil drainsabove the cliff face exacerbated theproblem, I think. It’s a big problem inthis area,” said Groenveld.
North Coast environmentalistDuncan Pritchard said that 'nothingreally special causes this big swell,just offshore storms and winds'.
“Thispastswell, Isuspectwasare-sult of that big cold front that causedflooding in theCape, but itmoved outto sea before it really got to us,” saidPritchard.
He said once out at sea, the windhas a bigger area to blow across andthe longer the surface area it blows
against, the larger the swell.“So really it was just down to off-
tres offshore would have been ex-tremely windy to cause this swell”.
He said the swell can lurk for daysafter the wind.

Be wise and planyour retirement>> ‘After years of working hard, you’ve earned the right to acomfortable retirement’JUGGIE GOVENDER
RETIREMENTplanning is par-ticularly important as manypeople who believe they can
simply carry on working after thenormal retirement ages of 60 or 63are often disappointed.
Inmy experience, employers arenot willing to extend the retirementage of employees unless they havespecialist skill sets that cannot beeasily found elsewhere.
Those members who do havespecialistskill setsalreadytendtobehigherincomeearnersandaremorelikely to have provided sufficientlyfor their retirement, and so do notgenerallyneed toextend theirwork-ing lives.
One of the problems is that wetend to see lower skilled retirementfund members, who have not pro-vided for their retirementadequate-ly, needing to extend their workinglives–andemployersnotbeingopento the idea.
It isunlikely thatSouthAfricawillfollowthepathofdevelopedEurope-ancountriesbyextendingtheofficialretirementage,asSouthAfricadoesnot have an ageing population.
Combined with the extremelyhigh levels of unemployment, espe-cially among younger people, thismeansit ishighlyunlikelywewillseeretirement ages extended.
Of course, older fund memberswith specialist skills remain in de-mandandwill continue tobe inapo-sition to extend their working lives.
ple used to assume that threemonths of savings was sufficient toenable them to find another job butincreasingly, and in the current eco-nomicenvironment,ayear isno lon-ger an unreasonable expectation.
It is also advisable to ensure thatthere are two breadwinners in thefamily and that these people ideallywork for different companies in or-der to reduce the possible impact ifa company decides to downsize.This will not apply in all cases.
Should a redundancy happenand you are unable to preserve yourretirement fund, then it is crucial toensure that themoney is placed intoanother investment vehicle, for ex-ample your mortgage bond, whichwill reduce debt levels and canstill be easily accessed when re-quired.
After years of working hard,you’veearned theright toacomfort-able retirement. But you have to befinancially prepared for it.
Saving for retirement can beoverwhelming…especially giventhe current financial times and thefact that people are living longerthesedays.It’safactthatthevastma-jority of South Africans are simplynot saving enough.
You too can retire well. The goodnews is saving for retirementdoesn’t have to be scary.
It’s about realising that even thesmallest steps in the right directioncan help you achieve great thingsover time.
This simple thoughtwe call PRE-
tirement,which stands for Plan, Re-alise, Enjoy Retirement. Simply in-vest what you can afford, and letcompoundgrowthdo thehardworkfor you. The key is to start today.
AlbertEinstein said:“Compoundinterest is the eighth wonder of theworld” .
It is a good idea for anyone whoiscommitted toprovidingadequate-ly for their retirement to speak to aqualified financial planner.
People should, however, takespecial care when selecting a finan-cialadviserandchecksuch issuesaswhether they are independent ortied agents, whether they have therequiredqualificationsandlicences,
THERE is a lot of confusion about themeaning of the term RSVP. Manyguests see this on invitations and donot know what they are supposed todo.
TheRSVP, found on all kinds of in-vitationsaren’tput in foradecorativepurpose, quite the contrary. They im-ply a request. Not responding to a re-quest may be regarded as bad eti-quette.
Theproblemweexperience is thateven if youput anRSVPrequest onaninvitation, guests don’t do anythingabout it.
This leads to the problem thathosts can’t tell howmany guests planto attend the function.
WHAT RSVP MEANS:The term RSVP comes from the
French expression “respondez s’ilvous plait”, meaning “please re-spond/reply”.
If RSVP is written on an invitationit means that the invited guest musttell the host whether they plan to at-
tend the function.It doesnotmean to respondonly if
you are attending, and it does notmean respond only if you are not at-tending (the expression “regrets on-ly” is reserved for this instance).
It means the host needs a definiteheadcountfortheplannedevent,andneeds it by the date specified on theinvitation. Some invitations carry thehost’s telephone number, so you cancall with your reply.
*WHY it’s INCONSIDERATEnot toRSVP
An incomplete list of respondentscan cause numerous problems for ahost including difficulty in planningfood quantities, issues relating tominimum guarantees with caterersanddifficultyinplanningappropriateseating, among other things.
So the next time you see RSVP onan invitation you receive, please con-tact your host and respond promptly.

‘Super foods’ forbreaking fast duringRamadaan>> Eat the right foods during this auspicious month
THE modern world has sweptmany off their feet in so manyways.
This includes dressing, lifestyleand most noticeably eating habits.
Many have casually adapted thewestern culture of unhealthy eating,moving further and further awayfrom the Noble teachings of theQur’an.
Yet, the newest nutritional re-search continues todiscover theben-efits of certain foods, labelled as "su-perfoods".Theyhavealsounravelledthe great benefits of certain eatinghabits,suchaswashingthehandsbe-fore and after meals, eating with thehands, not drinking with meals justto mention a few. However, all of thishas already been outlined in theHoly
Qur'an and Sunnah more than 1400years ago.
Physically, fasting gives the diges-tivesystemamuchneededrest.Ener-gy normally used for digestion is nowdirectedtobodydetoxification, tissuerepair and system healing.
With the special month of Rama-daanfastapproaching,manycan en-suretohavethesefoodsonyourshop-ping lists.
DATESDatesarethemostmentionedfruit
intheQur’an.Theyarehighinenergy,fibre, iron, vitamins and minerals.
The Prophet Muhammad (Peacebe upon him) used to break his fastwith fresh dates anda few sips ofwa-ter. If he did not find fresh dates, he
would use dried dates. He often con-sumed dates with cucumber, butter,creamorbread.Adessertcalled"Hai-sa" made with ghee (butter), dates,cheese and yoghurt was also pre-pared.
Tips:At iftaar (breaking fast) time,datescanalsobeusedtopreparedatemilkshakes, date chutney, date des-serts aswell as sprinkledover salads.For sehri (pre-dawnmeal), dates canbe used as a softened spread overbread or added into muffins, rusksetc.
OLIVE OILDieticians and nutritionist the
world over have been advocating theuse of olive oil for its excellent cardio-protective, anti-oxi-
or as a saladdressing. The lighter olive oils arewell suited for cooking and bakingpurposes.Whole olives can be addedtosaladsaswellasde-pittedandadd-edtobreads,muffins,piesandpizzas.
BARLEYAccording to a recent Readers Di-
gest article barley is one of the fivehealthiest foods.
Yetitwasbarleythatwasoneofthestaple foods in thedietofProphetMu-hammad(Peace be upon him). Mod-ern research is discovering that bar-ley has a very high soluble- fibre con-tent. This helps to keep the arteriesclearandhealthy. It hasanextremelylow glycaemic index (GI), whichmeans it takesa longer time todigest,keeping one fuller for longer.
Tips: During Ramadaan, barleycan be added to soups and broths orprepared as a drink by boiling andstraining mixture.
HONEYModern research has been abuzz
with themyriad of health benefits as-sociated with honey- anti-inflamma-tory, immune boosting, energisingtonic..to name a few.
ProphetMuhammad(Peacebeup-on him) loved drinks that were sweet
and cold and often consumedhoney water.
Tips: Honey can be used to sweet-en items like tea, fresh juices, milkdrinks and cereals etc. Raw honeywhich is thicker and creamier has alower GI, and can bemixed with cin-namon and used as a spread on toastfor sehri.
GRAPES AND RAISINSGrapeshavebeenfoundtocontain

THEtimeforbreaking fastatsunsetduring Ramadaan is a unique mo-ment forMuslims across theworld.Forpeople tobreaktheir fasts in theGrand Mosque in Makkah and theProphet’s Mosque inMadinah is aneven more blessed and surreal ex-perience.
For many people, sharing asnackwith fellowMuslims is an ex-hilarating experience.
Duringiftar inthetwoholycities,peopleoftensitwithstrangersofdif-ferent nationalities and languages,andwithwhomtheyonly shareonething in common — that they arefasting in obedience to Allah.
What makes these gatheringsspecial, which formany is an once-in-a-lifetimeexperience,isthevari-etyofpeople fromdifferent culturesand nationalities that gather in theholy cities.
Most of the food that is on offerintheholymosquesisdonatedbylo-cal people, who also bring along lo-cal Saudi dishes. It is remarkable tosee thesepeoplebusily laying table-cloths, setting cups, distributingcoffee, tea and dates and often de-laying theirown iftar toensurevisi-tors to the holymosques are at ease
and comfort.As sunset approaches, silence
descends on the two mosques aspeople begin turning toward Allahin supplication. Islamic theologysays prayers are answered at thetime of breaking fast.
Pilgrims from across the worldcan be seen busily praying in theirown languages asking for Allah tocure their loved ones, grant themlives that are lived in His servitude,forgivenessofsinsandfortheneedsofboth thisworldand thehereafter.
Once the iftar cloths are laid,there is no hierarchy inwhere peo-plesit.Everyoneisthesame.Inare-markable expression of brotherlylove, the rich and the poor, and theblackand thewhite, canbeseensit-ting together and sharing the samefood.
People greet each other withsmiles.Friendshipquicklydevelopsand pilgrims are known to keep incontactwithpeople theymeet in theholy mosques.
It is common too seeSaudis talk-ing with people from Upper Egyptbefore iftar. Likewise, people fromtheSudancanbeseentalkingtoSyr-ians and Pakistanis.

HYUNDAI’s new Grand i10 hasarrivedinSouthAfrica,andthissmall well-endowed hatchback
has everything in its arsenal. It is spa-cious inside,yetsmall inoveralldiame-ters, and filled with standard featuresthatwillmake it a compelling choice inthe entry-level car market.
This hatchback was chosen to fit inbetween the present, smaller i10 –which is retained in the local modelline-up – and the i20. “It fills that spotwell – not only in terms of size, but alsoregarding prices and standard fea-tures,” saidStanleyAnderson,market-ing director of Hyundai AutomotiveSouth Africa.
The Grand i10 has been launchedinSouthAfrica in threederivatives: the1.25 Motion manual, the 1.25 Fluidmanual (with a slightly higher specifi-cation level) and the 1.25 Fluid with afour-speed automatic gearbox.
Thenewproportionsdelivergreaterbody andwheel control, aswell as ridecomfort comparable to cars fromhigh-er segments.
The larger body shell of the Grandi10yieldsoneof the roomiest occupantcabins on themarket, aswell as an im-pressive256 litresof trunkcapacity. At3 765mm, the Grand i10 is 180mmlonger than its smaller sibling, andoneof the longestcars in thesegment.Like-wise, the Grand i10 is also the widestin its segment at 1 660mm. A lowerroofline, now standing at 1 520mm,yields an athletic on-the–road stance.
Among themany features of the all-newGrandi10are luxuryitemssuchasBluetooth connectivity to the soundsystem, keyless entry and electricallyheatedandfoldingsidemirrors (for thetwo Fluid derivatives), USB and AUXports for the sound system, as well asan air conditioner and central lockingfor all derivatives.
All three derivatives are also
equipped with front fog lamps, a full-size sparewheel, 14-inchalloywheels,a height-adjustable driver’s seat, a tripcomputer and remote controls for thesound system on the steering wheel.
Fuel consumption can be as low asa measured 5,9 litres/100km, withemissionsof130g/minthe1.25Motionmanual and1.25Fluidmanual deriva-tives, and 6,9 litres/100kmwith emis-
sionsof147g/kmforthe1.25Fluidwiththe four-speedautomatic gearbox.Du-al airbags and an Advances BrakingSystem (ABS) take care of safety in theGrand i10.
At a price range from R139 900 toR159 900, with Hyundai’s 5year/150 000km warranty and road-side assistance thrown in, the Grandi10 offers exceptional value.
SUZUKI has extended its passengercar offering with the spacious, versa-tile and attractive Ertiga, a compactLife Utility Vehicle (LUV) that links theresponse and manoeuvrability of acompactcartothespaceandpractical-ity of an MPV.
Sleek aerodynamics and hand-some, car-like proportions add up to akeenly priced vehicle that appeals onall levels.
The Ertiga model range comprisesfivemodels, spanningachoiceof threespecification levels – GA, GL, and GLX– and either a five-speed manual or afour-speed automatic gearbox.
Withitsthreeseatingrows,theErti-gacanaccommodateuptosevenoccu-pants, while the LUV’s front-engined,front-wheel drive layout allows a sur-prisingly generous interior.
Efficientspaceutilisationisastrongtheme of the Ertiga design, and thethird seating row is engineered topro-vide sufficient space for two adults.This is achieved through intelligentpackaging, including careful position-ingofthefueltankandtheefficientcon-figuration of the interior.
The three seating rows can be var-ied and configured to offer the opti-mum combination of accommodationand cargo space for different needs.
Thatefficiencyextendstotheagilityand manoeuvrability of the Ertiga,whichhasacompactturningcircle,re-sponsive steering, and a zesty engine.
The result is a truly multipurposevehicle which combines the best at-tributes of a compact car and those of
a utility vehicle to establish a brandnew Life Utility Vehicle category.
All five Suzuki Ertiga models arepowered by the same, latest-genera-tion K14B engine.
The 1 373cc four-cylinder enginefeatures weight and friction-reducingtechnologies, together with electronicfuel injectionandvariable intakevalvetiming, to achieve an optimumcombi-nation of performance and efficiency.
The result is a maximum output of70kWat6000rpm,coupledtoatorquepeak of 130Nm at 4 000rpm.
The value-for-money character ofthis newcomer to the Suzuki family is
underscoredbyclass-leading fuelcon-sumption of only 6.6l/100km in thecombined cycle.
The Ertiga offers a high degree ofactive and passive safety measuresacross the entire model range.
Dual front airbags are provided forall three specification levels, togetherwith ABS anti-lock brakes with elec-tronic brake force distribution (EBD).
All five models in the Suzuki Ertigarange are supported a three-year/100000km warranty, a four-year/60000km service plan, and a one-yearroadside assistance package.
Services are at 15000km intervals.
Suzuki's Ertiga links the response and manoeuvrability of a compact car tothe space and practicality of an MPV.
