Sewagepipeburst, closesschool
>> School suffers fourth sewagepipe burstsince school opened
KAVEEL SINGH
NKOSIBOMVU SecondarySchool closed its doors unex-pectedly last Thursday after a
main sewage-pipe burst leaving theschool flooded with excrement andsewage water.
Teachers congregated just outsidethe school premises demanding de-
partmentofficials visit the school andobserve their frustrations.
Anunnamed teacher,whose iden-tity is known to theWeekly, said theyhad been dealing with this issue re-peatedly sinceschool reopenedon19January.
“The pipes have burst four timessince we have opened school.When-ever it rains, everything breaks andoverflows. Ethekwini workers comethroughandfix it,butassoonasthereis adownpourwe find the same thinghappening all over again.”
She added that while the problemhadbecomemoreregular, thishadal-ways been an issue at the school.
“Thishasbeenhappening forover10 years and we are sick of it. Thereneeds tobesomeaction taken.This isunhygienic and sendsamessage thatno one cares for our pupils or us.”
Grade 8 pupil Wana Dlamini saidhe felt like the school was being ig-nored.
“This is a big problem andwe justhave to sit andwatch it aswe lose outon our education.”
Grade 10 pupil Sizwe Ngcobo hewas very unhappy.
“This is the fourth time we havehad to go through this. Every time itrainsweknowthereisgoingtobebadsmells at our school. There is s**t on
the floors.”And he was not wrong. As the
Weekly toured the school it was clearthat human faeces had overflowedand was strewn throughout manyparts of the school.
Areasthatdidnothavefaecalmat-ter reeked of sewage water that wasoverflowing from any and all pipingsystems in the school.
Acting SEM Selvan Chetty arrivedat the school to the frustrated groupof teachers. Upon his arrival pupilsbegan banging on the school fenceand booing.
Addressing educations, Chettysaid he understood itwas difficult for
the school to remain open underthose conditions.
“I feel your pain and we sym-pathisewithyou.Itisunfortunatethatthe public works department refusesto come to us and assist. We need totake care of this. We, as the Depart-ment of Education unfortunately donot have the funds to help.
“But I have spoken to someone atthemunicipalityand logged inacom-plaint.”
When teachers asked why it hadtaken so long to attend to the issueChetty said: “Today is the first time Iam hearing about this. We will takeaction.”
MONTHS of fears of lack of water supply inNorthern eThekwini may soon come to anend.
This comes after Umgeni Water announced a pipeline that will carry up to 15million litres of water daily to the HazelmereWaterworks.
The pipeline is expected to being operating by the end of March.
The announcement was made by Umgeni Waters corporate relations manager Shami Harichunder who said the pipeline“would go a long way in alleviating the wa
ter troubles of the northern parts of theprovince”.
“The level of the Hazelmere Dam was sitting at 34%, but only 19% of that water isusable because once the dam reaches 15percent of its capacity, it reaches its ‘deadstorage’ phase where it becomes too difficult and too expensive to treat,” he said.
He explained that the Hazelmere Waterworks treatment plant treated 45 megalitres (or 45 million litres) of water a day tosupply the eThekwini and iLembe municipalities.
“If we continue processing water at thisrate, as we have been, the water will only
uThongathi River being pumped to the dam.“A 7.5km pipeline, made up of steel or a
combination of steel and plastic dependingon the construction company, completewith a pumphouse, will be built to allow between eight and 15 megalitres (millionlitres) of water to enter the dam everyday,”he said.
Tenders for the contract were awarded.“Work will start immediately, by 9 Febru
ary, and we want it to be commissioned intouse no later than the end of March,” he said.
The project is believed to cost R35 million.
He maintained that while this would assist embattled residents of the area, waterstill needed to be used sparingly as this wasa short term solution.
“In the longterm, we are expecting tobegin construction on the extension of thedam wall so its capacity is increased,” hesaid.
Another longterm project to secure water supply was that of the Lower ThukelaBackwater Scheme which would supply water from Mandeni to Ballito. The R2 billionproject will ultimately supply 110 megalitresa day of potable water to residential areasto the north of Durban in KwaZuluNatal.
It has the capacity to provide 55 megalitres a day.
In the meantime, residents in areas including Seatides, Waterloo, Ballito, oThongathi (Tongaat) and Umhlali were urged touse water sparingly.

Illegaloccupationcauses violenceAbhlali said that on Wednesday municipal housing official Comfort Gumedearrived at the flats with Ndzibomvu tothreaten residents with eviction.
The organisation says that the occupiers asked them for an eviction orderand Ndzibomvu said “this is an ANCWard and where ANC rules they do notneed to go to court”.
“We overheard them speakingamong themselves and they said that,that night they were going to mobiliseANC members in order to carry out evictions,” said Abhlali.
The organisation also alleges that at7pm around 200 ANC people in ANC Tshirts and “led by councillors arrived atthe flats armed with bush knives, knobkerries, bottles and guns”.
“They were chanting ANC slogansand started looting and damaging property and residents’ belongings. Thesethugs were also stealing our money andour belongings. One woman lost her bagwith her documents, driver’s licence,cash and medication.
AnAbhlalimembersaidthatthishadnot been reported to police yet.
“The local police were called in buttook their instruction from the councillorwho was inciting the violence.
“The police were there standing withNdzibomvu and watching when we wereattacked and our furniture was damaged.
“One car was also damaged. Some ofus were seriously injured during this attack by the ANC and Thokozane Hlengwa had to be rushed to hospital.
“However, despite all this we wereable to hold on to the flats.”
Nzimbomvu said: “As the councillorI have done nothing wrong. I did not callthe police to do my bidding. I called thembecause I heard there was a mob ofpeople. So I needed protection.
“The police and the municipal unitswere simply doing their job. I am not discriminating or trying to stop anybody.But I have a job to do as well.”
According to provincial police, “thereare no records of related incidentreported.”
The AntiLand Invasion Unit evictedthe dwellers on Thursday morning atabout 8am accompanied by Metro Police and SAPS.
“They came without any courtdocuments that authorised them to carry out evictions. The eviction has beencompletely criminal and unlawful.
“We have approached our lawyers toseek legal advice and protection underthis circumstance,” said the organisation.
The AntiLand Invasion Unit has alsostarted to evict ANC members who gotflats by corruptions and not via occupation said Abhlali.
“They are also disconnecting all theflats from electricity. One womanscreamed saying she had paid money tobe in those flats. They are fightingamong themselves over corrupt allocation.”
Nzimbomvu said this was not true.He said that there was an issue with thelandowners and that electricity wouldsoon be reinstated.
“Theyareoccupyingtheplaceillegally. We had a legal court order askingthem to leave, but they did not want to.
“There are procedures that need totake place for these processes.
“People have been waiting for a longtime and we have to respect that.”

NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration recently declared 2014 as the hottest year on earthsince recordtaking began in 1880.
According to scientists the increaseinaveragetemperaturesislikelytohavea major impact on human health inways that will reduce productivity andmental wellbeing significantly.
Mariska van Aswegen, spokesperson of Pharma Dynamics — a leadingsupplier of antidepressants and advocate for mental health in SA — says theaverage temperatures in southern Africa have risen by 1.5°C over the past century as opposed to 0.8°C globally,which poses a more immediate threatfor South Africa.
“As South Africa begins to experience longer and more intense heatwaves, so too the degree to which individuals suffer from heat stress will increase and further compromise mental
to continue to brave heat waves in inadequately cooled homes, offices,schools, construction sites and factories. Not to mention those working outside harvesting in the fields.”
According to Van Aswegen an average temperature of 30°C for two daysand longer would be considered ahealth alert.
“If you do experience ill mentalhealth, you need to take extra care ofyourself in extremely hot weather conditions. Individuals taking psychotropicmedications are at a higher risk forheatstroke, since these medicationscan interfere with the body’s ability toregulate heat.
“In extreme hot weather, there is anincreased risk of dehydration and overheating. Exposure to heat and directsunlight can make symptoms of mental ill health much worse and can further impair mood and energy levels.”
To keep cool when the mercury is rising, Van Aswegen gives the followingadvice:
• Stay out of the heat and direct sunlight, especially if you have been diagnosed with a mental health conditionor experience any side effects from
medication.• Shut windows and pull down the
shades when it is hotter outside andthen open them when it’s cooler.
• Keep a spray bottle in the fridge tocool your face and extremities with wa
ter or take a cool shower or bath.•Ensureyouhaveadequatesupplies
of medication if extreme hot weatherpersists.
• Stay out of the sun and don’t goout between 11am and 3pm.
• If you have to go outdoors, take abottle of water with you to stay hydrated and eat small but regular meals.
• It’s besttoseek out airconditionedpublic spaces such as a shopping mallor community centre.
• Wear light and cool clothing.“Isolation in extreme heat can make
symptoms of mental ill health worse.Keep in daily contact with family,friends and neighbours. Those suffering from depression can contact Pharma Dynamics’ tollfree helpline on0800 205 026, which is manned bytrained counsellorswhoareoncall from08h00 to 20h00, seven days a week.
“Should you feel mentally or physically unwell or experience signs of heatstress such as dehydration, dizziness,headaches, changes to breathing,heart rate and blood pressure, nausea,vomiting or cramps, contact your doctor immediately,” recommends van Aswegen. — Lange 360.

The most noteworthy involves a 13year Australian studywhich found that extreme heat exposureexacerbate symptomsof dementia, depression and anxiety. Admissions to psychiatrichospitals also increased by 64% duringperiods of prolongedheat exposure.
Van Aswegen notesthat the 10 hottestyears on record have alloccurred since 1998 andthat the overall trend isup.

Standing together, with considerationBRINGING awareness about cancer andaffiliated illnesses to the fore is the focus of World Cancer Day. With millionsof people worldwide effected and affected by cancer, it is of the utmost importance that sufferers receive the support and love of those near and dear tothem. Let us stand together and comfort them on this day and forever.
The issue of fireworks is once againa hot topic of conversation. While it iseveryone’s right to celebrate their
beliefs in the way it is normally done,it also needs to be remembered thatanimals are also the ones to suffer fromloud fireworks. Let everyone be considerate and remember our fourleggedfriends.
Abolishing slavery is another areathat one can participate in. Getting involved in the antitrafficking campaignis a way of lending a hand and showingsupport for this worthwhile cause. Together it is all possible.
GROWING up in Phoenix, Durban, myopinion of the South African PoliceService in that community was thatthey were easily corruptible and dan-gerous individuals who were treatedwith contempt rather than respect.
The worst were the police officerswho took bribes from tavern ownersand drug dealers. They were to befeared. It was not uncommon for thepolice to forgeallianceswithcriminals,and people in the community werewaryofreportingcertainindividualstothe police for the justified fear that itcould result in violent retaliation. Thismeant that drug dealers, tavern own-ersandanyothercriminalswith finan-cial muscle could act with impunity. Itwas not uncommon for those who didlay a criminal charge tobe told that thedocket had gone “missing”.
Thiswasmeant toalertothers to themiscarriage of justice but it inadvert-ently served a dual purpose — to instilfear intothosewhowerethinkingofre-porting a crime.
Ihadalways thought that tobeapo-liceofficerwasacalling,butIsoonreal-ised that for some it was just a job; onethat gave them leverage over other hu-man beings.
Later, in my 20s, I met a formerclassmate who had joined the police’sdogunit.His glazed eyes andoffishde-meanour spoke of the many trials andtribulations he had faced, and the tollhis careerhad takenonhim.Tenyearsprior to that he had been a bright, en-thusiastic and positive person.
A decade in the police had erodedhis humanity and he had become adanger to society and his family.
Inmypersonal interactionswiththepolice,whether toreportamotor-vehi-cle accident or a crime, I have foundthem to be bureaucratic but efficient.The exception beingwhen I reported aburglary at a flat I was living in at thetime. The burglar had left grubby fin-gerprints all over the fridge door and Ireported the incident and this detail,hoping it would help to identify thethief. Unfortunately, no police officershowed up at my door and despitecountlessphonecalls andanother visit
to the station, my complaint was ig-nored.
As a journalist, I have met manyfine, dedicated police officers whosephone numbers are ingrained in mymemory and who remain loyal con-tacts — officerswhosescars reveal thesometimes hidden war that the policefight with violent criminals. Theychanged my perception of the policebutalsoshowedmethat thededicationby some is countered by the indiffer-ence and apathy of others.
The release last week of the SouthAfrican Institute of Race Relations’ re-porttitledBrokenBlueLine2makesforinteresting reading. The report hasbeen dismissed by the SAPS as beingfundamentally flawed and biased be-cause the researchwas fundedbyAfri-Forum, an organisation with politicalinterests.
But a report by the SAPS’s own in-vestigativebodytheIndependentCom-
plaintsDirectorate(ICD,nowknownasIPID) in the 2011/2012 financial yearfound 720 deaths involving the police.
Africa Check reported that the ICDhad found evidence of criminality in162 cases. In 2011/2012, the SAPScharged1 050of itsmemberswithcor-ruption, fraud, aiding escapees, de-feating the ends of justice, extortionand bribery.
According to the 2011/2012 SAPSannual report, only 88 of those officerswere suspended pending the outcomeof investigations.Thepolicealso inves-tigated 1 286 cases of corruption in-volving its members.
The South African Social Attitudesurvey published in 2011 by the Hu-man Sciences Research Council foundthat 66% of the adult population ofSouth Africa believe that corruption isawidespreadproblem in theSAPSandonly41%havesome levelof trust in thepolice. A futurefact survey in 2012foundthat35%ofSouthAfricans inter-viewedadmittedtobeing“scaredofthepolice”.
TheBrokenBlueLine2reportfoundthatmembers of theSAPSplayamajorrole in perpetrating serious violentcrime.
Over thepast20years, theSAPShasbeen transformed and no longer re-sembles the organisation that ruledwith impunity during apartheid. But ithasstruggledtoregainthetrustandre-spect of the people it serves.
The SAIRR report is criticised be-causenocasedocketswerestudiedandjudgments and court reports were nottaken into consideration for the re-search.
What it does focus on, though, arethe media reports on police involve-ment in crime. And this makes forshocking reading. Police officersacross the country have been arrestedfor murder, rape and robbery. What ismost concerning is how they use theiruniforms to abuse the trust that comeswith their positions to prey on victimsin need of their help.
Inorder to transformfully, theSAPSneeds to rid itself of all officerswhoareunworthy ofwearing the uniform. Thehiring criteria need to change and itneedstobecomeaprofessionalorgani-sation that can deal with the country’shigh crime rate. Only then will SouthAfrica’s citizens really be able to trustand respect the police.• Kuben Chetty is a deputy editor at TheWitness.

TAKING a selfie might seemlike harmless fun, but ex-perts have warned that the
practice can spread head lice.Pharmacist Giulia Criscuolo
said: “Lice don’t fly, they crawl. Sothey need to be in contact with aninfectedpersontospreadtoanoth-er. Infestation is most frequent inchildren and teens and is spreadthrough head-to-head contact …With the trend of taking selfies,there has been increase in thenumber of adults with lice,” shesaid.
“Head lice are quite harmless
and pose no physical threat, bar-ring discomfort. But with peopleputting their heads together totake selfies, it is a wonderful op-portunity for lice to spread.”
Blu Gel Hair Studio ownerStephen Pretorius said the trendhad yet to impact their clientele,but said most hair treatmentswould kill the lice.
“When people have their hairtreatedor coloured, head lice tendnot to like the chemicals in them.Whenever the hair structure ischanged, the lice tend to leave,” hesaid.
Criscuolo said that childrenshould be cautious of head-to-
head contact. “Children often sitclose together, sometimes touch-ing heads, when using new tech-nology or taking group selfies.They need to be aware that thismay contribute to the spread oflice, particularly during an out-break. It is always good to use anatural hair product to removelice, ” she said.
Tarryn Peters, Priya Moonsamy, ReshmaDaya, Mandy Manikam and Sarah Pillaytake a selfie. Experts warn that selfiescould lead to the spread of head lice.

KZNCEOof the liquor boardElliotMashile said the purpose of the imbi-zo is to address and educate tavernowners on the social responsibilitiesof refusing the sale of alcohol to un-derage youth, pregnant women andintoxicatedpatrons. “The imbizowilleducate tavern owners on a numberofissuesfacedinSouthAfrica,specifi-callywithalcohol.Wewanttoencour-age themnot to sell alcohol to young-sters,pregnantwomenandintoxicat-ed patrons. Some traders have beenapplying to this rule to the extentwhere they are brave enough to tellthe patrons they have had enough to
drink. Some of them even call me-tered taxis to make sure that the pa-trons arrive safely at home,” he said.
The liquor board members havebeen embarking in programmes thatassist traders in balancing profitagainst consequences. “We alwaystrain them to think about the conse-quences that might occur if they sell
alcohol to minors, pregnant womenandpatronswhohave had enough todrink. We tell them not to look at theprofit by selling to these patrons, butto look at the consequences that willarise at a later stage,” said Mashile.
Hesaid the tradersmust come for-wardandapply for liquor licencesbe-cause they will be charged with a
criminal offence if found tradingwithouta licence. “Wehavestarted tocampaign with law enforcementagencies,andifa trader is trading liq-uor without a licence, they will becharged. If the trader has a criminaloffence, it will be difficult for them togetaliquorlicence.Wealsourgetrad-ers who operate near schools and
placesofworship toapply for amnes-ty since it is illegal to tradenear thosevicinities. They have three years tostart looking for a new place to tradesince we have just started with theamnesty programme,” he said.
ARA CEO, Dr Osborn Maharanja-na said South Africa has a highnumber of youngsters who consumealcohol, therefore the main aim is totry toreduce thosenumbers. “Minorswho consume in alcohol usually con-duct risky behaviour such as unpro-tectedsexandaccidents.Wewillcom-bat thisbystrictmarketingofcodesofconductmeaning therewillbenosortof alcohol advertisement before 7pmand therewill be no alcohol billboardadvertisementnear schools orplacesofworship.Weurgepregnantwomennot to consume alcohol because thiscould cause long-term brain damageto the child,” said Osborn.

ER24 urges the public to refrain frommaking hoax calls.
Last year ER24 received more than33 000 hoax calls.
Calls ranged from reports of nonexistent collisions to people being in“distress” in remote locations.
Shockingly, adults contributed significantly to the number of hoax callsreceived by contact centre agents.
Calls received are so realistic that itis only realised paramedics were senton a wildgoose chase once on “scene”.
Shakira Cassim, the ER24 contactcentre manager, urged hoax callers tothink about the consequences of theiractions.
“The risk is so high. Someone having a bit of fun can impact on anotherperson’s life. There are instances, especially over peak periods, where our vehicles are all over attending to realemergencies such as drowning incidents and collisions with multiple patients.
“Attending to a hoax call meansthat we have a vehicle unavailable toattend to someone really in need,” shesaid.
Santi van Heerden, the ER24 contact centre coordinator, said hoaxcalls also impact on the company financially and waste resources.
“If we dispatch an ambulance to anincident reported by a hoax caller andwe have to service a real emergency inthe area while all ambulances are outon calls, we have to either dispatch anambulance from a different branch orsend a service provider.
“This means loss of incomeand impact on resources,” said VanHeerden.
Cassim said although contingencyplans are in place, these plans comewith extra steps that need to be followed, thereby increasing the time taken to attend to an incident.
Consider yourself or a loved one notreceiving urgent assistance in a lifethreatening situation before making ahoax call. Parents are also advised toteach children about the danger ofmaking hoax calls.
For further information or comment please contact ER24 Spokesperson Chitra Bodasing on 084 211 2277 orMultimedia Producer Pieter Rossouwon 084 407 3724. Alternatively, call010 205 3111.

Can the Proteasovercome the“chokers tag”?>> SA boys prep for World Cup
WEEKLY REPORTER
THEICCCricketWorldCupgetsunder way on 14 February inAustralia and New Zealand,
but the burning question on themindsoftheSouthAfricanfaithful is:can theProteasovercomethe“chok-
ers tag”?The word “choke” is a term that
has various connotations and alsofound significance within the sport-ingworld. Thehistory of profession-al sport is litteredwith teamsand in-dividuals that have failed to win aspecific match or tournament in
whichtheywereheavilyfavoured,orthrown away in a considerable leador advantage to, ultimately, lose.
This termhas shadowed the Pro-teas for the past two decades in thecontextof the ICCCricketWorldCup.The Proteas have exited the ICCCricketWorldCupinbizarrecircum-stances in 1992 at Sydney, 1996 atBirminghamand 2003 on home soil(South Africa).
SouthAfricancricketwasisolatedfromtherestoftheworldfor21years- from 1970 to 1991 - because of theapartheidpolicies of the former gov-ernment.
South Africa made their debut inthe ICC Cricket World Cup in 1992and was touted as champions aftertrouncing the powerful Australianoutfit by nine wickets.
South Africa went all the way tothesemi-finalbefore fallingvictimtoa controversial ruling on matchesdelayed by rain. Pakistan claimedthe title with a 22-run victory overEngland.
In 1996, the Proteas were unde-feated in the pool matches, butchoked in the quarter-finals againstBrian Lara’s West Indies outfit. SriLanka were crowned champions in1996 after hammering Australia byseven wickets to win the title.
In 1999Australia andSouthAfri-
catiedtheirWorldCupsemi-finalaft-er AlanDonaldwas run out in the fi-nal over with the Proteas needingone run for victory. The Australianswent through to the final becausetheybeatSouthAfricabyfivewicketsin theround-robinstagesof thetour-nament. Australia went on to clinchthe title after beating Pakistan byeight wickets.
SouthAfricahostedtheICCCrick-etWorld Cup in 2003 andwas confi-dent of becoming the first nation towin the event on home soil.
Shaun Pollock’s outfit were onerunshortof victory inarain-affectedgame against Sri Lanka in Durban,resulting in a tie, and yet again theywereeliminated. In2007they lostbyseven wickets to Australia in thesemis and in 2011 they lost to NewZealand in the quarter-finals.
With the ICC Cricket World Cupjust 10 days away, will our heroesovercome the “chokers tag” andclinch the 2015 title?
Matches will be played in twopools on a league basis with the topfour teams ineachpool advancing tothe quarter-final stages of the tour-nament. South Africa has beengrouped along with India, Pakistan,West Indies, Zimbabwe, Irelandandthe United Arab Emirates in pool B.
England, Australia, Sri Lanka,Bangladesh,NewZealand,Afghani-stan and Scotland are grouped to-gether in pool A.
