Move to end outdateddog licensing bylaw>> The bylaw is not universally applicable and therefore cannot be enforced

NQOBILE MTOLO>>[email protected]

THE Msunduzi Municipality wants to ban itsancient dog licensing bylaws.

AtarecentExcomeeting, thedeputymu-nicipal manager for economic development, DrRay Ngcobo, said the bylaw is not universally ap-plicable and that it’s costing the municipality a lotof money to monitor.

“It’s one of those very old bylaws that wasmeant for the affluent areas so that when a dog isfound loitering around, it can be confiscated andthe dog owner can be made to pay. It’s not a bylawthatisenforceableinotherareas.Becauseit’sabylawthatisnotuniversallyappli-cable, we will not be in a position toenforce it. Therefore, we willrecommend that it be dis-continued,”

said Ngcobo.He said that to license a dog is around R57, but

to maintain and administer the process costs themunicipality about R112.

ExcomemberEuniceMajolasaid that the issuehasalreadybeendiscussedat theeconomicdevel-opmentportfoliocommitteeandmembersagreedto end dog licensing bylaws.

TheDA’sBill Lambert suggested thatExcoseekinput from the Society for the Preven-tion of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA).

“At one stage, if I remembercorrectly , we said to theSPCA that they should

take over the doglicensing and anymoney collectedwould be a contri-

bution towardstheir organisation. Idon’t know what theoutcome of that was.There are far moredogs unlicensed then

there are li-censed, evenin the tradi-tional oldneighbour-

hoods,” saidLambert.

Currently the munici-pality charges R12.50 per an-

numforthelicensingofonedog,andmorethattwodogsperhouseholdareR65each.Thedeadlineforthe payment of dog licenses is 28 February everyyear. To date, only 1264 dogs have been licensedin the whole of Pietermaritzburg.

The Pietermaritzburg SPCA’s manager andspokesperson, Maureen Vida, said that to estab-lish, manage, monitor and run an efficient dog li-censingsysteminanycity isahugetask,requiringvast resources and man power.

As theofficial small animalpound in theMsun-dusiMunicipalarea,Vidasaid that theSPCAtakesin between 300 and 500 strays, homeless and un-wanted animals every month.

“At present, only certain areas where the own-ershipof thedog isobviousdue toproperly fencedhomes are being targeted. This is unfair as otherareas, especially those newly incorporated intothe municipal area, are not paying licenses as it isalogisticalnightmareforanyonetotrytoascertainwhereall the freerangingdogs intheareaactuallylive. Unless only people with properly fenced gar-dens are permitted to own dogs, the system willremain unfair and biased,” said Vida.

She added that, if it were possible, the SPCAwould welcome a correctly structured licensingsystem which would include a certain criteria.

“Ownersofunsterilizeddogs,maleandfemale,and owners unable to produce valid vaccinationcertificates, including rabies, must be heavily pe-nalised in the fee structure system, whereas re-sponsiblepetownerswouldpayanominalannualamount. This would help to curb uncontrolledbreedingandreducethenumberofunwantedandhomelessdogsinthearea.Itwouldalsoreducethespread of diseases such as parvo, distemper andrabies. We would therefore most certainly wel-come any system that would contribute towardsa reduction in this staggering figure,” said Vida.

age, monitor and run an efficient dog li­censing system in any city is a huge task

requiring vast resources and man power.

THE Pietermaritzburg SAPS notchedup another victory in their efforts toeradicate the city of criminal activitywhen they arrested five suspects inconnection with 25 incidents of fraudand forgery to the value of R450 000.

Thembelani Ndlovu (35), AyandaGwaza (31), Sipho Mashegoane (27),Johannes Moreke (24) and RejoyceMpofu (23) were found in possessionof various stolen identification docu-ments, falsified pay slips and bankstatements. A laptop and printer, be-lievedtohavebeenusedtoreproducethese pay slips and statements, wasalso confiscated.

It is alleged that the suspects, whohave been operating from the city forthepastweek,mayhavealsocommit-tedcrimesinDurbanandvariousoth-er towns in the province in the pastthree months. The SAPS believe thatthe suspects produced false state-ments and pay slips and, togetherwith stolen ID documents, would ap-proach various businesses in the cit-ies to apply for loans or clothing andfurniturecredit.Oncethecredit is ap-proved they take off with the cash oritems.Thismeansthatthefraudison-lyestablishedoncethesuspectsfailedto make the monthly instalment.

The arrested suspects made theirfirst appearance in the Pietermaritz-burgMagistratesCourtonAugust14.They were remanded into custodyand will make their second appear-ancetoday.TheSAPSbelievethat fur-ther links are imminent as investiga-tions continue.

Drink spiking claim creates debateDrink spiking claim creates debate“Our daughter (18) went to ******** in PMB last night. Around 12:30am we got a call that she was at Medi–ClinicPayne Street ER, claiming she was spiked with some drug. We do suspect foul play but at the same time,cannot rule out our daughter making up this story as she was with her boyfriend and close friend who areboth known to have taken recreational drugs before.The claim is after being in the club for 15 minutes. After ordering one drink, she felt awful and asked to betaken to hospital, which her boyfriend did. The claim is the barman did something to her drink. My wife spoketo one of the owners of the club in the early hours of this morning and did not get much information aboutthe incident. She is currently in ICU at Medi­Clinic and we are awaiting the blood tests.”

NICOLE JOHN>>[email protected]

DRINK spiking is, andwill continue to be,somethingofgreatcon-

cern when out on the partyscene.

Recently on the Brad Nath-anson Investigations page onFacebook, the above report ofalleged drinking spiking at anunnamed Pietermaritzburgclub was posted on the page,which sparked over 200 com-ments in debate. Nathanson isa private investigator operat-ing in Durban, however he in-vestigates reported issuesfrom community membersthroughout the province.Some people admitted thatthey have had first hand expe-rienceofdrinksbeingspikedatclubs in Pietermaritzburg.

A medial professional, whorequested to remain anony-mous for fear of losing theirjob, said that theyregularlyre-ceivepatientswhoareinaveryinebriatedstateandcanusual-

ly tell whether the patient hashad a drink spiked.

“Typically, a person whohashadadrinkspiked isvirtu-allyunconscious,droolingandoften vomiting. They are fre-quently combative and haveno idea where they are,” theysaid, adding that the victimsbecome extremely emotionalwhentheybegintoregaincon-sciousness and realise wherethey are. Other comments onthe post involved passing theblame on to the bartenders atthe clubs. While the publicsearchedforanswers,barstaffwho read the post were up inarms about the accusations.

It latercameto light that theclubmentionedinthepostwasthe newly opened Tiger Tiger,situated in the old CrowdedHouse building.

Guy van Der Post, the own-er of four Tiger Tiger clubsacross the country and who isinvolved in the Pietermaritz-burg club, said that they hadbeen in contact with the moth-erwhosedaughterwasadmit-

ted to hospital.“Itwasveryunusual forher

toadmit thatherdaughteranddaughter’sboyfriendusedrec-reational drugs, which I giveher credit for. However to ac-cuse thebarmanatTigerTigerwithout any proof, I can onlyassume was her reacting to avery stressful and traumaticsituation,” he said.

Van Der Post said that bothmother and daughter do nothold the club responsible andthat results of the blood testwere clear, with no traces of aspiked drug found.

Police spokesperson, JoeyJeevan, confirmed that theSAPS do receive these com-plaints from time to time.

“People,especiallywomen,are warned to be cautiouswhen visiting places of enter-tainment where their drinkscould be spiked without theirknowledge. They are alsowarned never to accept drinksfrom strangers and don’t letyour drink out of your sight,even for a second,” she said.

OTHER INTERESTINGCOMMENTS* Milla Tommei saidthat she knows of atleast four girls whohave had their drinks

spiked at a night club inPietermaritzburg over

the few years.

“...I am asking that the owners of these clubs takethese complaints seriously, whether the victimshave had their drink spiked or whether their condi­tion is as a result of recreational drugs, neithershould be going on in your club if it is being properlypoliced”.* Cathy Rees, who works at The Red Door said thatit is difficult to catch people who spike drinks be­cause they do it so underhandedly.

“I have been aware of drinks being spiked recently.On one occasion we knew the parties involved andhave banned them from the club. In other instanceswe have done everything within our power to ensurethat the spiked individual was well taken care of.I do however believe that there is little that us asmanagers of the clubs can do to prevent this, andI have to say it comes down to the responsibility ofthe patrons,” she said.

Bureaucraticbottlenecks>> Propsed municipal building plan approval task team willreview business plans in one meeting

NQOBILE MTOLO>>[email protected]

ABOUT 18 major developments,amounting to R5 billion, are grind-ing to a halt due to the Msunduzi

Municipality’s bureaucratic structure.Forabusinessplan togeta thumbs–up

from the municipality, an applicant visitsdifferent units located at various munici-pal offices around Pietermaritzburg.

This has resulted in the slow–pacedprocess of approving major developmentplans, which mean slower economic de-velopment for the city.

The deputy municipal manager foreconomic development, Dr Ray Ngcobo,said that this move is a major turn–off forbig investors.

“Investors get frustrated by our bu-reaucratic processes, especially in the ar-eaofplanapprovals.Weneed todealwithbureaucratic bottle necks that emanatefromthemunicipality. I guess this isan in-dication that at times, we create theseblockages ourselves,” said Ngcobo.

DA’sBillLambertsaidthatthereareru-mours that the R235–million HlatshanaRetirement Village project in LincolnMeadehasalsocometoahaltbecausede-

lays, red tape and the municipality’s ina-bility to get the work done.

As a relief strategy, Ngcobo said thatthe municipality must have a buildingplanapprovaltaskteamwhichwillreviewthe business plans in one meeting.

Theteamwillconsistof initialkeyplay-ers within the municipality’s various de-partments who are responsible for ap-proving the plans.

“Infuturewewillnotseeanyblockagesas a result of a slow pace of approval ofbuilding plans. We will have one integrat-ed building plan approval panel where alldepartments will be in one room and theplan will go through everybody in a singlemeeting and it will be approved in thatmeeting,” he said.

Major developments in Pietermaritz-burg include the Mpushini Business Park(R1,7 billion), the Rita Light IndustrialPark(R200million)inAshburton,Edenvi-sion Private Hospital in Archie GumedeRoad(R300million)andtheHayfieldsHo-tel and Residential (R200 million).

THE Msunduzi Municipality un-veiled its two new cremators atthe Mountain Rise Cemetery

which are capable of cremating a200kg body in as little as one hour.

These cremators can handle a ca-pacity of up to 16 cremations per day.

The capacity will soon increase to24 cremations after the refurbish-mentsoftheDowsonandMassoncre-mator.

The old cremators required abouthalfanhourofpreparationbeforethebodycouldbecremated.Thenewcre-mators are ready in a few minutes.

From a lack of staff, to malfunc-tioning cremators which forcedgrieving families to remove half–cre-mated bodies of loved ones to be cre-mated elsewhere, the two new cre-mators are set to close the crematori-

um crises chapter which themunicipality has been faced with foryears.

“The Dowson and Mason crema-tor was commissioned almost 40years ago and had reached the end ofits useful life. More than R3 millionwas spent on these two crematorsover the last five years, however, dueto the non availability of spares andthe age of the equipment, break-downs were a common occurrence,”said Msunduzi Municipality spokes-person Brian Zuma.

Hesaidthatgrievingfamilieswereoften required to transport their de-ceased family members to the ClareEstate Crematorium in Durban atconsiderable expense and inconven-ience.

“The municipality has secured R 7752 000 from the Municipal Infra-structureGrant (MIG)overaperiodofthree years. In the 2012/2013 finan-

cial year, a contract was awarded tothe SA Incinerator Company (Pty) Ltdfor the installation of two cremators,two cremulators and a bulk gas tank.In addition to the installation of theequipment, the contractor has beenappointed to maintain the crematorsfor the next five years,” said Zuma.

Thetotalcostoftheproject, includ-ing maintenance costs, amounted toR5 324 283.

Zuma went on to say that for thisfinancialyear,SAIncineratorwillalsobe responsible for the refurbishmentoftheDowsonandMasoncrematoratthe chapel at a cost of R495 000. Thisis scheduled to be complete by 31 Oc-tober. All prices mentioned excludeVAT.

SA Incinerator started operationsin 1968 and they have just opened abranch in Howick. The companymanaging director, James Fairbrass,saidthatthecrematorsdesignwillnot

allow emissions to be released intothe air.

“This was quite an ambitiousproject to get them all done in a shortspace of time. We also have a five–yearmaintenanceplanforthecrema-tors. If thereareanyproblemswewillcome down within 24 hours and sortthat out,” he said.

Fairbrass added that the crema-tors are fitted with two lamborghiniburners which have been importedfrom Italy.

Zuma said that the cremators areequipped with a hot hearth featureand have secondary off gas burningcapabilities.

“The hot hearth allows the off gas-ses to pass under the hearth, thus in-creasing the efficiency of the crema-

tors with resultant saving in gas andenergy.Thecoffin loadingsystemhasalso been improved which allows thecoffins to moved with ease and incor-poratesaslidingtablewhichpreventsdamage to the refractory. The com-munity can rest assured that theproblemswiththecrematorsareoverandafurthernewcrematorwillbein-stalled during the 2014/2015 finan-cial year, increasing our cremationcapacity even further,” said Zuma.

Msunduzi mayor Chris Ndlelaapologized to members of the publicwhohavepreviouslybeenaffectedbycrematorium glitches.

“We are glad we have addressedthisthornyissue.Wearenolongergo-ing backwards, we are moving for-ward,” said Ndlela.

Formerresidentrealiseshis musicdream

>> Being an entrepreneur at a young age is the futureNQOBILE MTOLO>>[email protected]

PIETERMARITZBURG–bornYamkela Kiviet (19) has just re-leased his first music album

called Revived. The album boasts 12gospel tracks.

Kiviet, a former Maritzburg Chris-tian School matriculant, is currentlydoinghis secondyearofaBachelorofBusiness Administration (BBA) de-gree at Milpark Business School inBraamfontein, Johannesburg.

Kivietsaid thathis life–longdreamhas been accomplished.

“The album was produced by mybusinesspartner,LungaNogaga,andmyself. The tracks were recorded inJohannesburg and it was finally re-leased in May this year. The produc-tion team that I have worked with onthis album has a lot of experience inthemusicindustryandthatmakesmereally happy about the project. It hasalways been a dream to release myownmusicalbum.The journey Ihavetravelledsofarhastaughtmetomoveoutofmycomfortzoneandtomanageeach and every step in order for thefinal project to be a success. This al-bum is my personal encounter with

God,” said Kiviet.He said that he is humbled to have

workedwithSouthAfricanmusicianssuchasPastorJabuNkabinde,PastorSolly Mahlangu, Pastor BenjaminDube,Pastor IsraelMosehla,ProphetNomusaDhlomoandRnBandkwaitomusician, Howza.

Kiviet said that being an entrepre-neur at a young age is the future.

“I don’t have a desire to be signedunderarecording label. Iwantaplat-form where I can be fluent with myskillsand implementmyowncreativ-ity. Signing under a recording labelcan be limiting to one’s long termgoals. In the music industry, it is im-

portant that I do what I love but alsoknow the finer details of finance andmanagement,”hesaid,addingthathehas already experienced a few blowsin the industry.

“After one event that I had organ-ized, all the money we had made wasstolenonthesamenightandinanoth-er event, the electricity went off justmoments before the start of theshow,” he said.

Through the hardships, Kiviet stillbelieves in his dream of being suc-cessful in the music industry.

“The dream can only be a reality ifyou work hard at it,” he said.

Friendship evening success>> Pietermaritzburg born actress Mary Steward entertains over 400 women at Cordwalles School on Women’s Day

THEY giggled, they cried, theyhugged – and they left feelinginspired and motivated.

Such was the tone set at the recentMary Steward Friendship eveninghosted by Cordwalles PreparatorySchool and The Wykeham CollegiateParent’s Association, in honour ofWomen’s Day.

Steward, the talented Pietermar-itzburg born actress, MC, and corpo-rate theatre maestro, had the 400women strong crowd in fits of laugh-ter as she likened different friend-ships to foods.

Ladies hugged each other whenStewardextolledthevirtuesofhavingan old faithful friend, which she

termed her peanut butter, but cau-tioned against having fast foodfriends – those that make you feelgood for the moment but leave youwith regret later.

She said women should strive tohave healthy food friends who, likeseared tuna, sesame seeds, saladsand hearty beef soup in winter, is

something that everyone wants.Continuous laughterechoed in the

massivemarquee,thatwasespeciallyset up for the conference at Cord-walles.

With friendship as her warm upact, Steward got into top gear for herrendition of Goddess.

Goddess is a one woman act, with

Steward using different colouredscarves depicting seven differenttraits of women which were immedi-ately recognisable – from the warri-or, the devoted wife, the ever–dotingmother, to the loner.

The evening left many with foodfor thought.

>> The UCI MTB Masters World Championships start today

AS contractors moved masses ofequipment and marquees ontothe Cascades MTB Park site

ahead of the start of the UCI MTB andTrialsWorldChampionships,localres-identsarereadytowelcomethousandsof riders and spectators from today.

This was a good indication that theinconvenience of the massive event isoutweighed by the benefits of hostingthe most important cycling event everon the African continent.

Town Bush valley residents are nostrangers to major MTB events at theCascades course, with several UCIWorld Cup events already successfullyhosted at the site, with the expectedpressure on parking, traffic, and noiseduring the major events.

DaveRyder,thecouncillorfortheaf-fected Ward 25, is excited about theevent, and is engaging with local resi-dents concerned about the impact.

He has recently received lettersfrom concerned residents who objecttothenoisefromthePAsystemthatop-erates at the venue during races, andafterraising thevarious issuesof thoseletters with the event’s organisers, issatisfied that measures have been tak-en, wherever possible, to ensure dis-ruptions will be kept to a bare mini-mum. Ryder is also asking for patienceand tolerance from those living in thearea and reminding them to considerthe importance of the staging of inter-nationaleventsofthismagnitudeintheregion.

“We just hope that the people in thearea are aware of the significance oftheeventandtheytreat itassomethingthat will be beneficial for the areaaround Cascades, the city of Pieterma-ritzburg and the province and countryas a whole.”

Ryder’s challenge is to strike a bal-ance between the concerns of the localresidents and the event organisers.

“The amount of money that will bebrought into our city over the comingweeks is something that we cannottake for granted and need to appreci-ate,sopatience isall thatweareaskingfor from the people in the area,” Ryder

explained.Ryder was also quick to note that

complaints were few in number andthatthemajorityofthoseintheareaarewell aware of the implications of theevent.

The UCI MTB & Trials World Cham-pionships take place at Cascades MTBPark from 26 August to 1 SeptemberandareprecededbytheUCIMTBMas-ters World Championships from todayto 25 August 2013. Tickets for the UCIMTB & Trials World Championshipscan be purchased via www.roag.co.zaand more information can be found atwww.mtbworldchamps.co.za

PIETERMARITZBURG teenagerDirco van der Westhuizen fol-lowed up his back–to–back victo-ries in the third round of the Mot-orsport South Africa’s (MSA) na-tionalmotocrosschampionshipinGauteng last month, with a hat-trick of high school 125 class winsin the North vs South inter–pro-vincial in Bloemfontein recently.

Despite riding with a hip injurysustained in a big practice crashthe previous week, the 14-year-old, Grade eight Voortrekker HighSchool pupil dominated all threeraces and was one of the star at-tractions at the meeting.

OntheFriday,vanderWesthui-zen (Bridgestone and Supaquick-supported Full Throttle Yamaha)qualified first, winning by a com-fortable 10 seconds.

Race two on the Saturdaymorning saw van der Westhuizenrecoverfromthirdatthestarttogo

on to win by 10 seconds. He over-came a poor start in the after-noon’s race three, where he wasfifth into the first corner, to headthe field at the end of the first lapand once again take the cheq-uered flag first with a 10–secondadvantage.

He also rode in one of the MX2races forriders15yearsandolderon 250 cc four–stroke and 125 cctwo–stroke machines and fin-ished an impressive ninth out of28 riders.

“I’mveryhappywith theweek-end’s results. I hurt my hip quitebadly and we only decided on theWednesday before the long week-end to compete in Bloemfontein,”he said.

Van der Westhuizen will nextbe in action in the fourth round ofthe MSA national championshipin his home town of Pietermaritz-burg on September 22.
