SGB discovers unpaid utility billsKAVEEL SINGH
COTTONLANDS Primary School’s principal is embroiled in a slue of allegedfinancial irregularities after the schoolgoverning body discovered she had transferred school funds into her personal bankaccount.
At a meeting at the school on Friday,it was discovered that principal, Mrs SLMkhabela had transferred R20 000 intoher personal account to “make it easier to
pass red tape”.The governing body chairperson and a
large group of parents gathered outsidethe school near Ndwedwe on Mondaymorning to protest the managerial processof the school, demanding that action betaken against management.
According to governing body chairperson Smangele Ntuli, the principal and theschool administrative clerk Mrs SP Gina“have been colluding school funds”.
“School fees have also been collected,
yet this is a no fees school. Where has thismoney gone?”
Ntuli said she was not invited to meetings regarding finance and that Mkhabelabehaved “as though this school is hersalone”.
“When we query funds she becomesvery abrasive and arrogant. She says thatthis is her school and we have no right toask any questions. How can this be? Running a school is the collective effort ofschool management and the community.”
At the protest, angered parents —mainly women — said they wanted theprincipal out. Placards read: “We want accountability. This is not a dictatorship. Theprincipal and clerk must go now”.
Ntuli said when tenders where put outfor various services, Mkhabela onlybrought forward one application and notthe prescribed three.
“She does not wait for approval fromthe governing body management. She justgoes ahead without any concern.”
The school has been in existence since1998 and Mkhabela has been the head ofit since 2007.
Ntuli said the biggest issue that led tothe protest action was the discovery thatthe utility bills for the school had not beenpaid since 2005.
“We were told in the meeting that theyhad paid R40 000. I went to the SizakalaCentre in Verulam and discovered the ac
count has been in arrears and now overR36 000 is owed. Where is all the monthlyfunds going?
“We have almost 1 000 pupils in thisschool and they deserve better.”
Speaking to the Weekly at the protestlocal CPF deputy chairperson Sakhile Nzama said charges needed to be laid.
“It is not hard to see there is a lot of eviland corruption at this school and the culprit is obvious. There have been talks ofinitiatives such as mobile classes yet nothing has been done. We need to get thisschool in order again.”
Mkhabela declined to comment stating that as a department official she wasnot at liberty to discuss the allegations.

Preparing their pupils>> Protec hosts camp for matriculantsKAVEEL SINGH
PROTECheldasuccessfulTertiaryPreparednessCampfrom8to12January 2015 at Verbara Lodge,
near Shakaskraal.Twenty six successful 2014 Protec
matriculants, many of whom haveachieved several distinctions, attend-ed the camp.
Thepurposeofthecampwastohelpthe students make the transition fromschool to university life as smoothly aspossible.
The camp opened with talks fromhusband andwife team, Thuli and Er-nest Galelekile. They are a highly suc-cessful young couple - Ernest is a cus-tomerdirector atUnilever andThuli isthemarketing director at Ithala Bank.
The students were riveted by theirfascinating and inspiring stories ofhow they overcame all sorts of chal-lenges in achieving their success.
Students were exposed to some ofthepractical issuestheywillbedealingwith in their first yearofuniversity life.
RonelleMsomiandVuyiZondi fromUKZN spoke about all the resourcesavailable to students to assist themwith the stresses and issues they mayface.Thecentralmessagewasthatstu-dents need to take personal responsi-bility for their lives and ask for help ifneeded.
Two further highlights were the
workshops on communication andpersonal leadership. For the commu-nication workshop international con-sultant AngyWatson and LindyWalk-er, an HR director at Rainbow.
Personal Leadership was lead byKimBonaconsa, another expert in thefield,whoconsults toGIBSandVarsityCollege.

RESPONDING to an SMS thatadvertisesWhatsApp add-onsorupdates could cost youhun-dreds of rands per month.
This is according to IT con-sultant and prominent tech-nology blogger Liron Segevwho has highlighted what hecalls just the latest WhatsAppscam to hit South Africa.
It starts with mobile phoneusers receiving an SMS fromaWireless Application ServiceProvider (Wasp) saying “youhave not updated to the latestWhatsAppAdd-ons”.TheSMSthenprompts theuser to ‘click’- or rather press - on a link.
Segev says “unsuspecting”victims will activate the link,which opens up the phone’sweb browser and leads to apage with a big green buttonthat says ‘continue’.
However, the risk is thatus-ersmayskipover the fineprintat the bottom of the web page,which details how the servicewill deductR7perdayoff theirphone bill.
If left unnoticed, this couldadd over R200 to your phonebill permonth.This couldhelpthese ‘Wasps’ earn large
amountsofmoney,even if theyonly reach small numbers ofpeople. In SouthAfrica,What-sApp has 10 million usersalone, according to researchfrom World Wide Worx andFuseware.
“The issue is you get scamslike this which are playing onthe masses, sending out mil-lions of these SMSs, hopingthat a certain percentage willactually not bother to read,”Segev told Fin24.
“They’ll catch you whenyou’re not focusing. You’ll puta couple of clicks in; nothingwill happen. You’ll think noth-ingof it,but thenlittleamountsof money come off your ac-countwithoutyourealising it,”Segev said.
Segev further told Fin24that this type of SMS sign-upscamisjustoneofmanyasoth-er companies send out textmessages prompting users todeactivate or even upgradeWhatsApp.
WhatsApp can only be up-dated via theGoogle Play appsmarket for Android or the Ap-ple App Store.

IAMahappy person by na-ture.My resolve is: there isnopoint inbeingunhappy.
Itweighsmedown,makesmevulnerable to all kinds ofthings that I don't want to bevulnerabletoandiscrappyforthe universe, with all the al-readybadkarmabeingputoutthereby...ohyeah, everybody.
So instead of sulking andgaping, which I'm not sayingI don't do – I'd be inhuman ifI didn't ever do those things –I quickly dealwith it, put it be-hind me and move on. I'm ofthe belief that every problemcan be solved with a bit ofthought and diligence and ifafter thought and diligencethere is no solution...thenmaybeyourproblemiswrongor doesn’t exist.
We so readily complainabout everything and thekitchensink thatwe forget theactual problems there are intheworld. Imeancanwereal-ly compare the flat tyre on theway towork thatmade you allof 20 minutes late to the star-vation of a child in a war-torncountry?
Now don't get me wrong, Iam in noway trying to belittleyourflat tyresandtheheapsofyelling you had to take fromyour boss, but really, can itcompare to the true pain andsufferingofthatchildorofthatcountry?
Can it compare to a manonce living an average life be-ingthrowntothestreetslosinghis family and being reducedto abeggarbecause job loss inour country is a very realtruth?
It's really disappointingthat we have so much yet ap-preciate it so little.
Obviously if youarereadingthisyouhaveaccesstoanews-paper ina functional areaandare not totally bad off. We livelives that couldbe spectacularsimply because we live freelyinaplacewheretheworstnat-ural disaster is heavy rain.Butno,wewouldmuchrath-
erharponthesmartphonewewant, but can't get...immedi-ately, the roadblock fromwhich YOU got a ticket be-cause YOU weren't wearing aseat belt or the astronomicalfight YOU had with so and soover such and such and nownothingwill ever be the same.
I'm sure you will get thatsmartphone eventually andthe ticket will be ignored untila summons comes aroundandyoubegrudginglypayitoffand “so and so” will forgive
you and all will be well or “soand so” will go away and youmay be all the better for it.But, look at that, it's all YOU,YOU, YOU isn't it?
We are selfish creatures,humanbeings, I admit, Imostdefinitely am,but I appreciatewhat I have and I admit whatI am.
We live in a time of denialand self loathing...it's nothealthy at all.
I thinkwe should be happyfor allwehaveandappreciateit. That crappy job, is a job atleast...that Nokia cellphone isbetter thannothing at all, thatticket for not wearing a seatbelt could be the wake up callyou need to avoid future tick-ets and potentially save yourlife.
We have so much - it's ourduty to make the best of it.Smilealittle, takeamomenttoconsider what if you didn'thave what you have today.
Don't complain becausetimes are tough and cash istight, aspire to better timesthrough positivity and hardwork. Manmakesmoney, butmoneywillnevermakeaman.
Be happy and positive andtheuniversewill pay it back toyou.

FAROUK Cassim’s letter hits thenail on the head (Terror attack inParis, 16 January 2015).
If only all of us, religion aside,are taught unity then wemay getsomewhere in this world. Is it nottime for the people shouting anti-Israeli slogans andhate speech to
stop as well?Now I read on Facebook that
South Africa is allowing ISIS andits friends to set training camps inthis country. I donot believe it andI hope it is not true.

We, the people of theNorthCoast, are worst hit with thewater shortage and also weare still experiencing electric-ity cuts - not sure if this is stillload shedding.
I would also like to see whoour president blames for theshortage of water and he isnow pointing fingers at a‘group’ with the Eskom saga.

VITAMIN C is an essential part of yourbody’s needs, especially for themaintenance of a strong and effec
tive immune system.Vitamin C is best known for its ability
to increase the body’s resistance to infections like cold and flu. While it may not prevent us from getting ill altogether, studiesindicate that people who take vitamin Ctend to recover from colds more quickly,
and have milder symptoms.Vitamin C also aids wound healing, is
essential for the production of collagen,
enhances iron absorption and fights cataracts by increasing the amount of bloodflow to the eye.
It is also a powerful antioxidant whichhelps to protect cells from damage causedby free radicals that could contribute to thedevelopment of cardiovascular disease,cancers and other diseases.
As the body is not able to make vitaminC on its own, it is very important to includeplenty of vitamin Crich foods in your diet,and not just in winter. Your immune systemis fighting off infections throughout theyear, meaning it’s always important tokeep your vitamin C levels stocked up.
Your body has a limited capability tostore vitamin C and longterm deficienciescan have a seriously detrimental effect on
the body, including a weakened immunesystem and the resultant vulnerability toillness and infection.
While citrus is the most wellknownsource of vitamin C, there are numerousother options. You can stock up on guavas,kiwi fruit, blackcurrants, strawberries, papaya, sweet peppers, Brussels sprouts,broccoli and cauliflower – all these foodsare vitamin C superstars.
Another option is supplementary Vitamin C. Vitamin C tablets contain anywherebetween 2 and 20 times the amount of Vitamin C in an orange. Effervescent tabletsare a great way to get your required dose,especially as they often contain other vitamins and minerals necessary for maintaining optimum health. Health24

Observing Kavady>> The significance of the festival
Vetri Vel Muruganike...AroHara!Veera Vel Muruganike...Arohara!Arohara Muruga! Arohara!!!
THAIPoosamKavady is a festi-val in celebration of LordMu-rugap Peruman, occurring in
the Tamil month of Thai (January/February).
Thisyearkavadywillbeofficiallycelebrated on 3 February on whichthe Poosam (star) and Pournami(full moon) will be visualised.
There are several legends thatsurround this important festival.Mentioned here are a few epics thatwill quench your thirst for furtherknowledgeonkavadyanditssignifi-cance.
There was once a demon namedTharakasuran who gave a lot oftrouble to the Rishis and the Saints.
MurugaPerumanwas thensum-moned by his parents Lord Siva Pe-ruman and Mother Parvati, whogave Lord Muruga the task of de-stroying the Asuras. Lord Muruga
set off with the blessings of his par-ents to destroy the demon.
Hetookwithhim12weapons,11of which were given by his father,Lord Siva, and the 'Vel' which waspresented tohimbyMotherParvati.
Lord Muruga destroyedTharakasuran on the Poosam Nak-shatra, a day in the Tamil month ofThai, and it is for this reason thatThai Poosam Kavady is ferventlycelebrated in all Muruga Temples.
According to another legend,LordSivaPerumanwas impartingavery important mantra to Parvati,when they discovered LordMurugaeavesdropping.MotherParvatiwasfurious. As a result of this error,motherParvatilaidacurseonMuru-ga, in line with a rule that even herson, if wrong, must be punished.
To be redeemed from this curse,Lord Muruga offered hard penanceat Thiruparamkundram. PleasedwithLordMurugaPerumanandhisgreatdevotion,LordSivaandMoth-er Parvati appeared before Lord
Muruga, and uplifted the curse.The upliftment of the curse was
then celebrated in Thai Poosam.This special day is observed in a
very grand splendor in all MurugaTemples, more especially at the sixbattle campsor 'ArupadaiVeedu' ofLord Muruga Peruman. Kavadyprayer and penance is observedover 10 days by devotees, andmostAlayams accommodate a continuesfast for the public observances.
Devo-tees needto abstainfrom alco-hol, drugs,and world-ly plea-sures. Celi-bacy and avegetarian diet is strictly observedbythemillionsofdevoteesthatcarrytheir kavadies, it is indicative, thatthe devotion is very powerful.
Devotees firstly pay thanks toLordMurugaPeruman,andsecond-ly to lord Shunmuga, Karthigaya,Kumara, Subramaniar, Velan Mu-ruga;bythemanynamesheisfondly
referred to as, to relieve one of overpowering burdens.
Accordingtoscriptures,Iduman,one of the disciples of Agasasthiyai,was asked to bring back two hillsrepresenting Sivan and Shakthi. Hedid this by carrying the two hills oneither side of a beam across hisshoulder. Midway through his jour-ney, he decided to rest a while.
When he resumed he found thatthe twohillshadbecomeveryheavy
to carry.LordMurgaap-pearedbeforehim as adestruc-tion.
A battle between the two brokeout, where Lord Muruga destroyedIduman. Lord Muruga, through hiseternal mercy, revived and par-doned Iduman. This is how IdumanbecameLordMurugasgreatestdev-otee. Iduman carried the first ka-vady out of utmost devotion to LordMuruga Peruman. LordMuruga re-
alised Idumans devotion and madehim His gate keeper.
This is also another reason whydevotees pray to Iduman beforeprostrating to Lord Muruga Peru-man.Devoteescarryingkavadydec-orate their kavadies with flowerswith two milk 'chombos' (vessels)attached to the Kavady.
Some devotees offer a 'Paal ko-dam'asan'Abishegam' toLordMu-ruga Peruman. Peacock feathersrepresentingthe'Mayil'orMurugas'Vagana' anda 'Vel', a spear shapedobject,isalsoattachedtothekavady.
All devotees, whether they carrytheir kavadies, or observe the fast,willberecognisedasdevotees in theeyes of Lord Muruga Peruman. Aspartofthe115thKavadyfestival,theShri Siva Subramaniar Alayam ofUmdlotiDrifthasembarkedonaCDlaunch.

TALK Sign ambassador NormaMillar and her best friend, Sa-manthaAntoncich, aim to take
onMountKilimanjarotoraiseaware-nessand funds for theTalkSignCam-paign - an initiative of the KZN Blindand Deaf Society.
Theaimof theTalkSigncampaignis topromoteSouthAfricanSignLan-guageandraisemoneythroughfund-raising projects and the sale of TalkSign stickers. These funds will beused toeducateandfindemploymentfor the hearing-impaired.
The duo will be making the climbfrom 6 to 14 February and all fundsraised will go towards the Talk SignCampaign.
Millar’s parents are both deaf andasaresult she isverymuchpartof thedeaf Community and, in turn, pas-sionate about raising awareness forSign Language.
“ThedeafcommunityistheclosestknitcommunitywhichIhavebeenex-posed to,’’ she said.
“It is very difficult for people whoare deaf to be fully part of a hearingsocialevent,asitishardtolipreadun-less someone is facing you squarely,so group conversations in a hearingenvironment are incredibly strenu-ous, and challenging. Ifmore peopleknewSignLanguage,peoplewhoareDeaforhardofhearingwouldnot feelso isolatedand lonely in this environ-ment,’’ added Millar.
Having been friends for 25 years,Millar could not think of a better per-son to climb Kilimanjaro with herthan Antoncich.
In their 20s, the friends did theCamel Adventure Challenge togetherand although they were completedunprepared, they did exceptionallywell. When Millar approached Ant-oncich to join her on the climb, one ofher bucket list items, Antoncich wasnot too keen.
Millarverypersuasivelyexplainedthat when they have grandchildrenshe will be the ‘machine of a granny’who did the Camel Adventure andclimbedKilimanjaroforcharitywhile
Antoncich would have simply justcompleted the Camel Adventure.
According to Antoncich , “Normshavinghadcancer lastyearhasreallymade me think that if we can tacklelife by the horns then that is what weshould do! I have seen, first hand,what strengthof spirit cando toover-comesuchascary diseaseandclimb-ingKilimanjaro isachallenge that re-quires strength of body, mind andspirit.’’
“I'm looking forward to pushingmyself to try to achieve a successfulsummit and am looking forward todoing it with my soul mate friend. Ifshe can conquer Cancer, thenwe canhopefully conquer the mountain,’’said Antoncich.
Milllar wants to bring back a littlerockforeachofherthreechildrenandher husband, as there is a traditionthat any rock taken off the mountainmustbeputback.Theintentionisthatwhen her youngest child, Ben, turns18, the whole family, Matt, Daniellaand hubby, Clyde, will do it together.

weeklywheelsWhite cars arebooming worldwide>> The colour of choice
THEnext timeyoubuya car, youmight want to pause a whilelonger to decide what colour
you choose.Top car companies throwmillions
at researching what the latest tastesare, and say the colour of a vehicle isso important to customers that it canbe the difference between buying ornot.
TheDetroitsawmanyoftheclassiccolours—redsforPorschesandothersports cars— and a few less conven-tional (a Nissan Titan pick-up truckdecked out in “forged copper”).
But there was no mistaking thepre-eminence of white. Particularlyat the Volkswagen stand, where sev-eral cars, the stairs and much of thefurniture was white.
In a multibillion-dollar industry,nothing is put to chance and nothingis done by mistake, of course.
AtleasttwodesignersinDetroitre-ferredtothe“Appleeffect”—theCali-fornian tech giant — to explain thepropensity for white vehicles.
Sitting at a white table, on whitechairs, inawhiteroom,OonaScheep-ers of Volkswagen told AFP: “Whitefor cars really peaked in the 1970sand 1980s, and then all of a suddendisappeared.
“But in the past 10 years we havenoticed an increase again in white.And it definitely camewith the AppleiPod era because Apple started to doeverything with white, and a lot ofchrome or metal finishes.
“In combination it was nice and
fresh.Butbefore that,whitewasreally not selling in Europe be-cause people associated it withdelivery cars and it lookedcheap.
“But the combination with metaland chrome looks fresh and com-pletely new.White is boomingworld-wide.”
So ifonewere tochooseablackve-hicle over a white one, what kind ofperson would that make you?
“Youcouldbesporty.Butpeople inhot countries like white.
“Whitedefinitelydeflectsheat,butif youhaveablackcar it cangetdamnhot inside. And then in a country likeSouth Africa you often have to over-take into direct, oncoming traffic, butwhite is very visible.
“So it’s a safety feature as well insomecountries.Metallicgreyorblackjustmelts into the colour of the tar, soit is not that visible.”
Susan Lampinen, chief designer,colours and materials, at Ford, saidthecolourwassocrucial tosomepeo-ple that they would buy a car purelybecause of that—nevermind the de-sign of the vehicle.
She too identified an Apple rippleeffect in propelling white to a best-seller worldwide for Ford.
“White is very clean, very techni-cal, very modern. So most cars lookgood inwhite,” shesaid,addingotherpopular colours included blacks andsilvers, while blue is also on the up.
Lampinen identified only “slightdifferences” in preferences in differ-ent countries because, she said, ofglobalisation. Environment, cultureand climate can all effectwhat colourcar someone might buy, she added.

IT is good news for dadswho fearedtheirdaysofroaringalonginasportscar were behind them. Jaguar isbuilding its first 4x4 – and there’splenty of room for the kids.
The British firm announced1 300 new jobs to help it create thefive-door, five-seater sports utilityvehicle, which will cost aroundR660 000 in South Africa.
Firmly aimed at “Jag dads” withchildren to ferry around, the all-wheel drive carwill comewith extragrip technology to make it safe andreliable in all weathers.
More practical than the sleek sa-loons and supercharged sports carsthatJaguar isknownfor, it isalsode-signed to appeal to busy mums ontheschoolrun–forwhomithasbeendubbed the “She-Type” Jaguar.
To keep the youngsters enter-
tained during longer journeys, thecar will also feature on-board wi-fiandaMeridiandigitalaudiosystem.
It will officially be called the F-PacewhenitgoesonsaleasaBritishrivaltothePorscheMacanandBMWX4 crossover. Jaguar’s bossesmadetheannouncementinDetroitrecent-ly ahead of the North American In-ternational Auto Show, which start-ed last week.
Design director Ian Callum said:“TheF-Pace is our family sports car.It will encapsulate everything thatJaguar stands for — beautiful de-
sign,precisehandling,asuppleride,luxurious interior finishes and cut-ting-edge technology.”
Itwillbepoweredbyanewgener-ationof fuel-efficient two-litrepetroland diesel engines, to be built at thecompany’s new factory in Wolver-hampton. But drivers who wantevenmorepowercanopt instead forthe3-litreV6engineused in theJag-uar F-Type.

NO international batsman wants a50% success rate coupled with a 50%failure statistic.
That’s what Protea ODI batsmanRilee Rossouw faced as he took guardtoopentheinningsagainsttheWestIn-dies in the second ODI at theWander-ers last Sunday.
In 10ODI innings, sincemakinghisdebut against Zimbabwe in Bulawayoin August last year, he had registeredfiveducks, includingoneon thatdebutand in the first ODI of the current se-ries, in Durban.
He was selected in the World Cupsquad to travel to New Zealand andAustralia for next month’s four-yearshowcase and at 25, was clearly seenby selectors as one of our next majorbatting exponents.
One can imagine what was goingthrough his mind when he faced hisfirst ball on Sunday. Talk always cen-tresaround theselectorsgivingabats-man three chances at ODI level beforedropping the guillotine and in thiscase, Rossouw’s saving grace was be-ing in thatWorldCup setup. Surely theselectors would not have rocked theboat and changed the crew at this latestage if he had failed again.
The records will show 128 againsthis name when he walked back to thechange room and it’s fair to say, thiscould be the defining moment in Ros-souw’s international cricket career.
He has broken through, he hastapped into an ability and talent thathas seen him score a first class triplecentury and sevenListA (limited over)
hundreds. He knows what to do withbat in hand and cricket followersthroughout South Africa are wantingto believe that the monkey is off hisbackandhecanbegintobatwithmoreconfidence and self belief.
“Playing for your country is thesummitofacricketer’scareer,”hesaid.“I have that opportunity and despite
my record, I wasworking hard, want-ing to be successful for the Proteas, forSouth Africa. “This century was a re-lief. It’s broken the shackles. I amhap-py and satisfied.”
Making the century at the top of theorder isanother tick in thebox forRos-souw,whocitedopeningasarelativelynew challenge for him.
“At domestic level, for the Knights,Iknowmypositionisnumberthree.It’scast instone,”hesaid.“OpeningfortheProteas with someone as experiencedas Hashim Amla at the other end ... Itdoesn’t get more daunting, but I haveto adjust and give it my best.”
Just getting off themark onSundaywasthefirsthurdleforRossouwtocon-quer. Then it was a matter of taking itball by ball. “It was tough in the begin-ning as I think I only faced maybe 10balls in the first six overs,” he said. “Ilike to dominate but I needed to be pa-tient and having Hashim as a pillar ofsupport is what got me through to mydream and landmark.”
One can now picture Rossouw assomething like Samson, breaking freeanddestroyingallaroundhimwithbatin hand. It’s still early days and one in-nings never makes a cricketer, but athisageandwithhisconfidenceandbe-lief restored, the cricket world is hisoyster.
“I needed confidence and that iswhat this innings has done for me. IneededtoproveIcouldplayatthehigh-est level and justify my position in theteam,” said Rossouw.
Now, it’s a case of getting out thereand making it happen.
