However, Maritz said that the main en-trance was closed following instruc-tions by the Department of Water Af-
fairs .Maritz is part of an ongoing four year legal
battle with the Department of Education re-garding the expropriation of the land.
Teachers and parents refused to use theproposedentrance, saying it addedmore thanakilometre to thepupils’ journey throughsug-ar cane fields.
Themain accessroadwasclosedatthestartof the school term, then reopened for almosttwo weeks, but closed again.
Political heavyweights, acting KwaZulu-Natal premier and MEC for education SenzoMchunu,MEC for healthDr Sibongiseni Dhlo-mo, aMaqadi Tribe Inkosi Mqoqi Ngcobo andeThekwini Municipality’s housing head NigelGumedewereat thepublicmeetingwithmorethan 2 000 residents at the OsindisweniGrounds on Sunday.
The meeting aimed to address concernsand help find a resolution. Addressing thecommunity,Mchunusaiddrastic actionwouldbe taken to resolve the matter.
He said that by mid-October governmentwill start a formal land claimheadedupby theDepartment of Public Works. He said that onFriday 6 September his department will signcourt documents to legally keep the main en-trance of the school open.
“Wewill also have a prayer and encouragethe people of the community and those whosympathise with them to come out in theirnumbersonFriday.Wewanttoshowunityandstrengthandthatwewillnotallowourchildrento be marginalised.”
Mchunu assured the community that gov-ernment would do everything in its power torestore order to education at the school.
“We are facing many challenges with thismatter, but I want you all to know that there isnothingwewill not do to ensure your childrenreceive the education they deserve. We live ina democratic South Africa and for somethinglike this to prevent education is a violation ofthe constitution that many great comradesgave their lives for.”
Inkosi Ngcobo echoed Mchunu’s senti-ments saying that it was time people under-stood that issues like this will not be treatedlightly. “We come from a long history of strug-gle and strife in South Africa. For hundreds ofyearswehave fought hard to occupy andkeepour lands. Do they think we will stop now?
“The people of our community and ourcountrywillhavewhatevertheyneed.Ourchil-drenwill be educated andwewill fight hard togive them all that we can.”
Speaking to the Weekly, resident SakhileXulu said he was glad government officialsshowed interest and spoke to the people.
“This is something that is very close to ourhearts. It pains us when we see our childrensitting at home or risking their lives to go toschool,” said Xulu.

THE lives of both Ivy Close Informal Settlement and Redcliffe Valley View CommHousing residents in Verulam has changedfor the better.
This is due to a brand new power stationwhich has been built in the area andlaunched on Sunday. The eThekwini Municipality started the project in December 2012after friction between the residents mount
ed. According to ward five councillor, ChocksArunajallam tensions arose when informalsettlement residents were accused of illegally connecting electricity which resulted ina number of lives being lost.
“This project has benefitted just over250 people.
“We have managed to complete theproject in this short period of time eventhough the Ivy Close Informal Settlement'spopulation has increased rapidly.”
According to Arunajallam, although themunicipality is working towards a housingproject which will be launched early nextyear, they decided to provide interim services to the community to make life easier forthe residents while they wait for their houses.

THE ongoing concern of theshortageofburialspacewashighlighted yet again at a
cemeteries workshop held by theeThekwini Municipality recently.
The purpose of the workshopwas todiscusswithcouncillors thecritical issues regarding theprovi-sion of sustainable cemetery ser-vices identified during the August2011 Cemeteries and CrematoriaCity Hall Workshop in order to fa-cilitateplanningandprojectinitia-tives.
Accordingtostatisticsobtainedin September 2010, with 20 000bodies buried every year, the citywouldrunoutofgravespaceinlessthan three years.
This has now become a criticalreality and serious concern.
The most recent cemetery toreach capacity is the DesinagarCemetery in Tongaat.
MinorityFrontcouncillorPrag-giePadayachee,whowas thedep-utychairpersonofthehealth,safe-ty and social services committee
during the period 2006 - 2011,stated that the concern of limitedgrave sites was discussed exten-sively in 2010.
Padayachee said 59 out of 60cemeteries run by themunicipali-ty were already filled to capacity.
“Cemeteries have the capacityfor 540 000 grave sites, but490 000 have been used, leavingonly 50 000 sites available since2010”.
At the workshop parks, gar-dens and cemeteries head Them-binkosiNgcoboexpressedhissen-sitivity and said that while he un-derstood feelings ran high, hehoped that “ways would be foundto permanently address the spaceshortage”.
Explaining the idea of fungi toaccelerate decomposition, Ngco-bo said bacteria was unable tobreak down the body fats fastenough.
“Several bodies which hadbeen buried at the ChestervilleCemeterymore than 10 years agowere exhumed to conduct testsand they were as fresh as if they
had been buried a few days ago”.Ngcobo said that availability of
land conducive to accommodateburials requires an Environmen-tal Impact Assessment (EIA) re-port. Ngcobo said themunicipali-tywouldalsolookatruralcemeter-ies.
“While people in rural areashave ample land, they need to beeducated about the burial processand know that they can’t just useany land for burial.
“If the wrong land is used thenthebodyfluidswillescapeandendup in the rivers that people are us-ing to get water from.”
Padayachee further stated thatthesematterswerealsopublishedin the main stream papers sinceSeptember 2010.
“Themunicipalitywill convenean urgent public stakeholdersmeeting very soon to conduct acommunity participation pro-gramme.”

THE land dispute issue at OakfordPrimary and Sacred Heart School'sis one that is quite disappointing.This past week, government bolstered its concern regarding thematter calling a public meetingwith the community to address issues.Officials from provincial, districtand local level were all present to“address” the matter.
While this is all well and good,it should be noted that this matterhas raged on for many years between landowner Marius Maritzand the Department of Education.
The victims of this debacle isunfortunately the pupils of theschool.As a community we should askourselves why this is being allowed.Why has the department draggedits feet. Why were pupils deniedtheir basic right to education?
Yes, the landowners may befrustrated with the departmentbut should pupils pay for this bybeing locked out of their schools,their education?On the flipside, like most government departments, we find thatthe Department of Education hascarefully chosen a well publicisedmatter conveniently close to theelections next year.
The bottom line is that servicedelivery is not taking place and innocent children are being compromised. This is the issue. Not whois more in the right between thetwo parties
Educationis priority
EDITORIALCOMMENT
RECENTLY, I read an article that toldof how the wealthiest places on earthare neither the oil fields of the MiddleEast nor the diamond mines of SouthAfrica.
The wealthiest places, believe it ornot, are the cemeteries. Buried in theground,arebusinesses thatwerenev-erformed,songsthatwereneversung,books thatwere neverwritten, poten-tial that was never realised, anddreams that never came true. Some-thing to seriously ponder!
Too many people suffer from, if Imay say, ''destination disease.''
In other words, they've reached a
certain level andnow they're coastingin life, content with what they've al-ready learned.
Studies show that 50 per cent ofpeople, after they graduate from highschool, will never read an entire bookfor the rest of their lives.
Onereasonitseems,issomepeoplesee learning as a period of life insteadof away of life. They think, “I'm out ofschool. I'mdonewithmytraining. I'vegot my job.”
I'velearnedthatwewerenevercre-ated to reach one level in life and stop.Whetherweare90-years-yearsoldornine-years-old, we should constantly
be learning, improving our skills, andgetting better at what we do.
The key is that we have to take re-sponsibility for our growth becausegrowth is not automatic.
Sit back and think for a bit, whatsteps are we taking to get better?
Arewereadingbooksandnewspa-pers? Dowe havementors? I feel thatweshouldnot justbecoasting throughlife relying on what we have alreadylearned.We should be developing our
talents and become all that we werecreated to be.
Like it or not, otherswill ultimatelyjudge us by the goals we actually ac-complish in life, but evenmore impor-tant thanhowothers judgeus is theul-timate sense of fulfillment thatwewillexperiencewhenweaccomplishwhatwe set out to do in life. I believe that,that fulfillment is something thatno ti-tle,noamountofmoney,andnopraisecan ever replace.
Treasure lies within...
AN old friend once said to me - “in aperfectworldwewouldn’t need rules”– how right they were. Unfortunately,however, we don’t live in a “perfectworld”.The rules are applicable to all owners/occupiersand, intermsofPMR.69theowner is responsible for ensuringcompliancebyanyoneoccupyingtheir
section.The Trustees, in enforcing the rules,must act reasonably at all times. Rulesmustapplyequallytoallowners/occu-piers (and this includes Trustees) ofunits used for the same purpose.
TheoriginalintentionoftheActwasquite simply to provide a legal frame-work forpeople toown their own flats.Only parliament can change the Act,but the rules can be tailored to bettersuit a particular scheme.Section 35 ofthe Actstipulates that a unanimousresolution is required toamendorcre-ate a management rule and a specialresolution is required for a conductrule.It is not always necessary to convenea special general meeting in order totake these resolutions changing therules – they can be taken in writing orat the AGM.If they are taken at the AGM, the rele-vant notice requirementsmust bemetand the required quorum must be
presentwhiletheresolutionisdebatedand taken. New rules and amend-mentstoexistingrulesmustbefirstap-proved by the ombudsman then filedin the Deeds Office and only then dothey become enforceable.
This statutory duty of enforcementis carried out by the Trustees.A dilemma often facing Trustees iswhat todo ifowners/occupierscontin-uetobreachtherules.Wheredirectap-proach on a personal, informal basishas failed, a more formal approach isnecessary.It is important to keep a paper trailwhichmightbecomevital if someformof legal action is the only option likelyto resolve the dispute.Remember however that the ultimaterule must surely be “The Good Neigh-bour”rule–asimpleandeffectivesolu-tion, and one which unfortunately isforgotten in the heat of the moment.
I REFER to your front page picture lastweek. Truth be told, all our ancestorsdanced around seminaked thousandsof years ago it was normal back then.
However, these days it is simplya barbaric practice.If your culture instils morality in you byteaching you from a very young age allthe do’s and don'ts in life, then by allmeans it is good. But, parading youngwomen in such a fashion is just not on,whatwiththe“creepyuncle”syndromethat is around as (Mr Vusi Mthalane, pg19) pointed out.
Men are quick to protest aboutwomen wearing mini skirts or eventight jeans but women going toplesslike this are allowed because of “culture”! That is just hypocrisy!
Think logically before you engage indoing something 'cultural' that is actually immoral.
KZN Mother
Is it reallyculture?
The original intention of the Act was quite simply to provide alegal framework for people to own their own flats
