Clinic responds to ‘complaints’>> Many of the patients who complained were not from KwaDukuza
SIBUSISO BIYELA
THE Stanger Weekly visited theKwaDukuza Clinic after pa-tients complained of bad
service,but foundadifferentstoryre-gardingpatientswho leave theirclos-est clinics to come to the alreadypacked central clinic.
Aclinicalnursepractitionertellsofproblems caused by such patientsand some of the reasons why peopleflock to the clinic.
PeterMakhanya is a clinical nursepractitioner at theKwaDukuzaClinicand he deals with hundreds of pa-tients every day.
Whenthe WeeklyarrivedonTues-day morning, the clinic was alreadyfilled with patients and Makhanyawas attending to them.
He responded to questions re-garding patients who had com-plained about an alleged snub fromthe clinic staff when a memorial ser-vice was being held for a colleaguewho had died the previous week.
“Some patients did complain yes-terday, but while the rest of the staffattended. Iwasherewith thepatientsthe whole time,” he said.
“I stayed with them in case therewas an emergency. They were neverignored.”
He explained that many of the pa-tients who had complained were notfrom around the KwaDukuza areaand had left their own nearby clinicsto come to this one.
“It is usually them who give usproblems as they quickly get impa-tient and rowdy. Just yesterday onepatient threatened to hit me after hehadbeenwaiting in line for twohoursor so,” said Makhanya.
Makhanya said that the normalwaiting time at the clinic is three tofourhoursonthebestofdaysandthatthe clinic usually sees over 1 000 pa-tients a day.
“Those who usually come here

“I have to admit the clinic has a lotto offer patients, but when theyleave their nearest clinics to cometo ours, it compromises servicemeant for all the patients,” addedMakhanya.
A SHOOTOUT ensued once again in Stanger Manor,this time between the police and heavily armed suspects on Wednesday night.
Police suspect the men are involved in theongoing taxi violence between the KwaDukuza andMaphumulo taxi associations.
A joint operation involving the Hawks, KwaDukuza SAPS detectives, Kranskop SAPS and the ORSDurban Habour Tactical Response Team arrested 21suspects and seized 15 firearms.
According to a police statement by spokespersonMajor Thulani Zwane, the raid followed the arrest ofa suspect was arrested for being in possession of anunlicensed 9mm firearm.
The suspect was wanted for an attemptedmurder case in Kranskop, but further investigations,not specified by police, led the joint operation to ahouse in Stanger Manor where they met with gunfirefrom the men inside the house.
After calling for backup the police then raidedthe house and found 21 occupants inside.
“A total of 15 firearms, including AK47 rifles, LM4semiautomatic rifles, pistols and a large amount ofammunition [were found inside the house],” saidZwane.
The Weekly understands that this is the samehouse described by Stanger Manor residents as theresidence of a Maphumulo taxi boss on the day hissecurity convoy was ambushed recently as reportedin the Weekly.
Police also linked the 21 arrested suspects to theongoing taxi violence cases that have been reportedin KwaDukuza and Maphumulo.
“All suspects were arrested for attempted murder,obstructing police officers and possession of unlicensed firearms and ammunition.
The suspects appeared at KwaDukuzaMagistrate’s court on Monday when magistrate T.Govender remanded the case to 9 February wherebail applications may be heard on 16 and 17 February should the state allow the suspects to apply.

Education turning a “blind eye and a deafear” at the school.
Teachersandtheschoolgoverningbodymembershaddeliveredamemorandumofcomplaints to Mbukeni Ngubane, whoheadstheStangerCircuitoffice,onTuesday20 January.
The teachers had complained about thepoor attention they have been getting fromthe department regarding the dilapidatingcondition of a 95-year-old class block thatbegan collapsing in 2012.
Seekinga response, theWeekly contact-ed provincial spokesperson for the depart-ment Muzi Muhlambi who said: “TheStanger Circuit office is aware of the situa-tion at the school and it is being attended toand relief repairs will be done.”
When pressed for details he said the re-pairs can only be conducted after the newfinancial year, which starts in April.
“I donothaveaspecific timeline,but therepairs will commence sometime afterApril. I cannot say when exactly,” he said.
The principal Viren Gangaram, told theWeekly that he had not received any re-sponsefromthedepartmentsinceteacherssubmitted their memorandum of com-plaints two weeks ago.

Recovering addictneeds your help>> ‘I had a stable job’
SIBUSISO BIYELA
SIHLE Linda (31) is a recovering alcoholic trying to piece his life together andget back to what he was before alco
holism made him “lose everything”.Linda approached the Weekly with the
intention of getting the help he needs on hisroad to recovery.
A former SAPS officer, Linda lost his joba few years ago after his need to sustainhis addiction started to affect his work.
“I had a good and stable job as a cop andI was happy. But then a friend of mine introduced me to some drugs and I immediatelygot hooked,” he said.
In an attempt to finance his addiction,Linda ended up having “long arms at work”,he said referring to his acquired habit ofstealing.
“I have a sevenyearold child now andhe lives with my mother who is also unemployed and I had to move out to lessen theburden on her. And so I find myself sleepingon the streets these days.
“I need to get my life back together, notjust for myself, but for my family who needme,” he said.
He said that he intends going to rehabor a similar programme, but is unable to ashe does not have the means or a roofto sleep under.
“Don’t get me wrong. I amnotaskingforfinancialassistance. What I need is something to keep me busyduringthedayandaroofover my head so that Ican start picking upthe pieces. It is harddoing that whileyou wonder whereyour next meal
will come from or worrying about a place tosleep for that night,” he said.
Linda also wants the opportunity tospeak to young people to dissuade themfrom a life of drug abuse and alcoholism byusing his story as a case study. He wishes tobe part of an organisation that may be doingsuch initiatives as he thinks he has a lot tooffer others in a similar situation such as

ALMOST all the local newspapershave covered the problem at StangerSecondary School and how this is impacting negatively on teaching andlearning.
As a past exprincipal I add myvoice to those who are protesting thelack of "teaching space" due to thepoor and dangerous condition of theoldest section of the school buildings.
In my view this has been broughtto the attention of the Departmentof Education from 2011 onwards.
School correspondence will vindicate this position. Investigationswere carried out; reports tabled andpromises made but that is where ithas stopped.
Pupils and teachers housed inthese rooms sit there at their peril.Thank God that, to date, there hasbeen no serious injury with ceilingsfalling off while classes are in sessions. We were advised not to use therooms in this block since it was unsafe and supplied with two mobileclassrooms.
With the demand for accommodation not abating, it is very difficultto run a normal school the management, staff and SGB enjoy my support and sympathy.
The crux of the matter is that theDOE and the relevant sections withingovernment(PWD)arenotactingontheir findings. The answer to this di
lemma is not with circuit officials orthe SGB it lies squarely in the handsof the DOE and the relevant sectionsof government.
Seeing that the academic yearhas commenced this puts the schoolin a dilemma as how to accommodate new pupils who have alreadyregistered. If wisdom prevailed theDOE ought to have asked the schoolnot to register pupils in Grade 8 giventhat their repair programme had notstarted.
The shortterm solution would beto have more mobile classroomssupplied or temporarily accommodate these Grade 8 pupils at a localschoolthathasaccommodation (although I am mindful that the lattersuggestion is fraught with its own setof challenges).
Also I would urge the school community, in particular the parents, tomake themselves heard. No one elseis going to stand up on your behalf.
It seems that a number of solutions to our country's problems arefound in the strategy of "protest action" when all other avenues of approaching authorities seems to bringno joy. For pupils to learn and teachers to teach, the DOE needs to provide the infrastructure.
This is a ticking time bomb. Assoon as a pupil or teacher is injuredor killed then the DOE (and the community) is going to sit up and askwhat happened. The school and itsmanagement will then be requestedto fill report upon report to explainhow this happened.
It is hoped that the authoritiesconcerned will act speedily to act upon a very serious and unsatisfactorysituation.

GROWING up in Phoenix, Durban, my opinionof the South African Police Service in thatcommunity was that they were easily corruptible and dangerous individuals who weretreated with contempt rather than respect.
The worst were the police officers whotook bribes from tavern owners and drugdealers. They were to be feared. It was notuncommon for the police to forge allianceswith criminals, and people in the communitywere wary of reporting certain individuals tothe police for the justified fear that it couldresult in violent retaliation. This meant thatdrug dealers, tavern owners and any othercriminals with financial muscle could act withimpunity. It was not uncommon for thosewho did lay a criminal charge to be told thatthe docket had gone “missing”.
This was meant to alert others to the miscarriage of justice but it inadvertently serveda dual purpose — to instil fear into those whowere thinking of reporting a crime.
I had always thought that to be a policeofficer was a calling, but I soon realised thatfor some it was just a job; one that gave themleverage over other human beings.
Later, in my 20s, I met a former classmatewho had joined the police’s dog unit. Hisglazed eyes and offish demeanour spoke of
the many trials and tribulations he had faced,and the toll his career had taken on him. Tenyears prior to that he had been a bright, enthusiastic and positive person.
A decade in the police had eroded his humanity and he had become a danger to society and his family.
In my personal interactions with the police, whether to report a motorvehicle accident or a crime, I have found them to be bureaucratic but efficient. The exception beingwhen I reported a burglary at a flat I was livingin at the time. The burglar had left grubby fingerprints all over the fridge door and I reported the incident and this detail, hoping itwould help to identifythe thief. Unfortunately, no police officershowed up at my doorand despite countlessphone calls and another visit to the station,my complaint was ignored.
As a journalist, Ihave met many fine,dedicated police officers whose phone numbersareingrainedinmymemory and who remain loyal contacts —officers whose scars reveal the sometimes
hidden war that the police fight with violentcriminals. They changed my perception of thepolice but also showed me that the dedication by some is countered by the indifferenceand apathy of others.
The release last week of the South AfricanInstitute of Race Relations’ report titled Broken Blue Line 2 makes for interesting reading.The report has been dismissed by the SAPS
1 050 of its members with corruption, fraud,aidingescapees,defeatingtheendsofjustice,extortion and bribery.
According to the 2011/2012 SAPS annualreport, only 88 of those officers were suspended pending the outcome of investigations. The police also investigated 1 286 casesof corruption involving its members.
The South African Social Attitude surveypublished in 2011 by the Human Sciences Research Council found that 66% of the adultpopulation of South Africa believe that corruption is a widespread problem in the SAPSand only 41% have some level of trust in thepolice. A futurefact survey in 2012 found that
35% of South Africansinterviewed admittedto being “scared of thepolice”.
The Broken BlueLine 2 report found thatmembers of the SAPSplay a major role in perpetrating serious violent crime.
Over the past 20years, the SAPS hasbeen transformed andno longer resemblesthe organisation thatruled with impunity
during apartheid. But it has struggled to regain the trust and respect of the people itserves.
The SAIRR report is criticised because nocase dockets were studied and judgmentsand court reports were not taken into consideration for the research.
What it does focus on, though, are the media reports on police involvement in crime.And this makes for shocking reading. Policeofficers across the country have been arrested for murder, rape and robbery. What is mostconcerning is how they use their uniforms toabuse the trust that comes with their positions to prey on victims in need of their help.
In order to transform fully, the SAPS needsto rid itself of all officers who are unworthyof wearing the uniform. The hiring criterianeed to change and it needs to become a professional organisation that can deal with thecountry’s high crime rate. Only then will SouthAfrica’s citizens really be able to trust and respect the police.• Kuben Chetty is a deputy editor at The Witness.
as being fundamentally flawedand biased because the researchwas funded by AfriForum, an organisation with political interests.
But a report by the SAPS’sown investigative body the Independent Complaints Directorate(ICD, now known as IPID) in the2011/2012 financial year found720 deaths involving the police.
Africa Check reported thatthe ICD had found evidence ofcriminality in 162 cases. In2011/2012, the SAPS charged

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 harmlessand 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,” he
said.Criscuolo said that children
should 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 remove
lice, ” she said.Tips to prevent head lice• Teach your child not to share hats, hair brushesor to bump heads with friends while using cellphones.• If your child has lice, do not send them to schooland alert teachers immediately.• To treat lice, use a non toxic antilice shampoothat contains naturebased active ingredients.
Tarryn Peters, Priya Moonsamy,Reshma Daya, Mandy Manikamand Sarah Pillay take a selfie. Experts warn that selfies could leadto the spread of head lice.

THE Association for the Responsible Use of Alcohol (ARA)hosted its first tavernowners imbizo inpartnershipwith theSouth African Leisure Tourism and Hospitality Association
(SALTHA) last Thursday at the Southern Sun eLangeni Hotel inDurban.
The imbizo was attended by nearly 150 tavern owners fromaround KZN who pledged to abide by the ARA Code of Practice.
KZN CEO of the liquor board Elliot Mashile said the purpose ofthe imbizo is to address and educate tavern owners on the socialresponsibilities of refusing the sale of alcohol to underage youth,pregnant women and intoxicated patrons. “The imbizo will edu-cate tavern owners on a number of issues faced in South Africa,specificallywithalcohol.Wewant to encourage themnot to sell al-cohol to youngsters, pregnant women and intoxicated patrons.Some traders have been applying to this rule to the extent wherethey are brave enough to tell the patrons they have had enoughto drink. Some of them even call metered taxis to make sure thatthe patrons arrive safely at home,” he said.

The liquor boardmembers have been em-barking in programmes that assist traders inbalancing profit against consequences. “Wealways train them to think about the conse-quences thatmight occur if they sell alcohol tominors, pregnant women and patrons whohave had enough to drink.We tell themnot tolookattheprofitbysellingtothesepatrons,butto look at the consequences that will arise ata later stage,”said Mashile.
Hesaid thetradersmustcomeforwardandapply for liquor licences because they will bechargedwith a criminal offence if found trad-ingwithoutalicence.“Wehavestartedtocam-paign with law enforcement agencies, and ifa trader is trading liquor without a licence,theywill be charged. If the trader has a crimi-nal offence, it will be difficult for them to geta liquor licence. We also urge traders whooperate near schools and places ofworship toapplyforamnestysinceitisillegaltotradenearthose vicinities.

Can the Proteas overcome the“chokers tag”?
WEEKLY REPORTER
THEICCCricketWorldCupgetsunderwayon14FebruaryinAustraliaandNewZea-land, but the burning question on the
minds of the South African faithful is: can theProteas overcome the “chokers tag”?
Theword “choke” is a term that has variousconnotationsandalsofoundsignificancewithinthe sporting world. The history of professionalsport is litteredwith teamsand individuals thathave failed to win a specific match or tourna-ment in which they were heavily favoured, orthrown away in a considerable lead or advan-tage to, ultimately, lose.
This term has shadowed the Proteas for thepasttwodecadesinthecontextoftheICCCricketWorld Cup. The Proteas have exited the ICCCricket World Cup in bizarre circumstances in1992at Sydney, 1996atBirminghamand2003on home soil (South Africa).
South African cricket was isolated from therestoftheworldfor21years-from1970to1991-becauseof theapartheidpolicies of the formergovernment.
South Africa made their debut in the ICC

South Africa went all the way to the semi-fi-nalbeforefallingvictimtoacontroversialrulingon matches delayed by rain. Pakistan claimedthe title with a 22-run victory over England.
In 1996, the Proteas were undefeated in the

victoryinarain-affectedgameagainstSriLankain Durban, resulting in a tie, and yet again theywere eliminated. In 2007 they lost by sevenwickets to Australia in the semis and in 2011they lost to New Zealand in the quarter-finals.
With the ICC Cricket World Cup just 10 days
