WADEYoungwill looktodothe unthinkable for thesecond consecutive year
whenheinitiatesthedefenceofhisRoof ofAfrica title in theMountainKingdom of Lesotho on Thursday,14 November.
The Paddock prodigy did theseemingly impossible last yearwhenat just16yearsofage,hebe-came the youngest ever winner ofthegruellingthree-dayhardendu-ro. The victory left internationalstars like 2011 winner GrahamJarvis, Graham Jarvis and An-dreas Lettenbichler shell-shockedand changed Young’s life.
Hebecamean international su-perstar, landed sponsorship dealswith someof the biggest brands inthe sport andwas able to drop outof school (Creston College) at theendof2012 to focusentirelyonhisracing career after winning a betwith his dad Nigel. Nigel agreedthat should his sonwin theRoof ofAfrica, hewon’t have to go back toschool in 2013, and after a totalrace time of 17 hours 36 minutesand10seconds,Wadehadwonthewager.
“My career has grown im-menselyover thepast12months,”Young told the Fever. “Last year’swin opened up lots of door for menationallyand internationallyandgot me a Red Bull sponsorship.”Young, for his trip to Lesotho, hasalsoreceivedthesupportofCountyFord Port Shepstone. “CountyFord have kindly sponsored me aFord Transit Sport to use for theRoof of Africa.

THERE is still no word from theIndependent Police Investiga-tive Directorate (IPID) on themurder of Leanne Douglas, whowas shot by police in an un-marked vehicle inUmkomaason15 September.
The six police officers allegedlyinvolved in the incident, however,are still atwork andhavenot beencharged.
Hermother Leonie Luckin saysshewill not let themget awaywithit.
“AllI livefornowisgettingtothebottom of why police were shoot-ingatmydaughteron the freeway.It’s all I live for,” she said.
Douglas owned a restaurant inPortShepstone—TheRedRooster—but the leasehadcometoanendaround the time of her death.
“Leanne had not renewed theleasebeforeshediedsotherestau-rantwon’tberunbyme,myfamily
or friends,” said Luckin.She said the IPID had not been
incontactwithherassheassumedthey would be.
“I called them tohavemy state-ment taken. I call them to find outabout progress on the case,” shesaid.
She added that the investiga-tion seems to be at a stand-still.
“There were other incidentswhichIheardofonthenewswherepeoplewereshotatbypolicefornoreason,” she said.
“I cannot believe that they [po-lice] think theyhave theright toat-tack people in gun fire,” addedLuckin.
She said this sort of police bru-tality has to stop or else it will onlyget worse.
“Luckily the people who wereshot at did not lose their lives, butit is still wrong.”
Commenting onLeanne’smur-der, IPID spokesperson MosesDlamini said: “The investigation isongoing,butatanadvancedstate.”
VOTER registration proceeded peacefully onSaturday and Sunday in the Ugu district, buta number of the potential voters were turnedaway from the registration stations at Um-kholombe because they did not have identitydocuments, which is a strict requirementwhenregistering to vote innext year’s provin-cial and national elections.
According to the ANC team outside Merle-wood Secondary School on Monday, peoplewere turned away because of this.
One member confirmed on Sunday thatabout 50 potential voters were turned away.
“We tried to find out from the people whytheydidnothave identities. Someof themtoldus that their ID book was burnt when theirshackswere gutted by fire some time ago andthey have not had the opportunity of applyingfor a new one.”
TheDepartment of HomeAffairs had beenaskedtohelppeopleapplyatUmkholombefortheir identity documents, said oneANCmem-ber, who was not authorised to speak to themedia.

THE state ofWatterson Street inMarburg has sparked concernfor the Ward Councillor Ajith
Rajaram.The road, which accommodates
manybusinesses, is strewnwith gar-bagebags thataresometimesnotcol-lected forweeks. An illegalmechanicoperating across from a well-estab-lished car repair business and threehomelesspeoplewholiveunderabill-board are also “residents” on thestreet.
An establishedmechanicwhohasbeen in business there formore than15 years said the illegal repairs havebeen going on for four years.
Rajaramsaidhehasbroughttheseissues to the Hibiscus Coast Munici-pality’s attention on numerous occa-sions,buthispleashavefallenondeafears.
The stench in the area is terrible,as refuse has started decomposing.
“I have e-mailed time and timeagain, but have not even received ac-knowledgement of my e-mails,” hesaid.
“To have garbage in front of busi-nesses isnotprofessionaland tohavegarbage close to eateries is evenworse andposes ahealthhazard,” he
said.Rajaram said he had reported the
illegal car repair business to the pro-tection services umpteen times, butnothing has been done about it.
“Onemightargue that thevehiclesbeing repaired could have brokendown, but if you see the oil stains onthe road and pavement and the carparts and boxes littering the side-walk, it issafe tosaythat this isanille-gal repair business,” he said.
“It’s not fair to the mechanic whohas been doing business for over 20years,” he said.
The three vagrantswho live, sleepand cook under the billboard is alsoa major concern.
Not only is it a health hazard to
them, but an eyesore for businesses.The vagrants told the Fever they
had nowhere else to go and do notpossessidentitybooksorknowwhere
they feel.“At one stage trucks were not al-
lowed to park in the area as they tookup business parking, but now it’s not
being monitored,” he said.He added that protection services
officersusedtoregularlyissuefinestotruck drivers, but it had been agessince he last saw an officer.
“This is because there are no pa-trols every day. Protection servicesappearmaybe twice a year and issuefines.
“The people then disappear andcome back after a few months,” saidanother business owner. “WattersonStreet isuntidyandaneyesore.Thereare too many vagrants and peopleloiter in thearea.Thismakescustom-ers uneasy.”
The Hibiscus Coast Municipalitywas approached for comment, butnone was forthcoming at the time ofgoing to press.

ON Monday Nyandezulu and Bhomela residentscalled the Fever to the Bhomela Thusong Service Centre to listen to their frustration about nondelivery ofSouth African Social Security Services. They complained that they are being denied service by SouthAfrican Social Security Agency (Sassa) officials at the
Gamalakhe office.They said they were waiting for Gamalakhe social
workers to assist them with their child grants, pension, foster care grants and disability grants, but saidSassa staff were nowhere to be seen.
“We were told that we needed to come to the centre every Monday as social workers only go to the centre on Mondays, but now it is the fifth Monday andthey have never arrived. When we go to Gamalakheoffice, they send us back telling us that we have wasted our money travelling to Gamalakhe because weare supposed to be helped at the Bhomela Centre.If we go to the Marburg office, they send us back toGamalakhe and Gamalakhe sends us back theBhomela Centre where no one comes to help us.
“Now, we do not know what to do or which centreor office will help us. Even the ward councillor knowsabout our problem. He said he would phone Sassa,but he never did. The councillor has no time to helpbecause he is a school teacher,” said a resident.
Residents said they phoned the manager of theGamalakhe social workers Mrs Lukhozi several timesand she told them that their vehicles were broken.
“On one Monday [when we phoned], she said theywere delivering food to schools, the next time she saidthey were going to Pietermaritzburg. We can’t remember some of the reasons why they did not arrive,but they have not come for five consecutive Mondays,or for five weeks.”
Ward Councillor Phiwokuhle Hlophe said he isaware of the challenges and has spoken to the socialworkers’ manager who said they were very busy asthe MEC had sent them to other areas.
The Fever reporter contacted Lukhozi but she refused to comment saying she does not have a rightto speak to the media. She referred the Fever to theircommunicationsoffice,butsaidshedidnothavetheircontact numbers because she was not at the office.
No response had been received from their communications office at the time of going to press.

JENNY’s House is now on show at Ramsgate Stationers at Southcoast Mall.
So what’s the connection to a stationery store?
Well, it’s a doll house, intricately designed and assembled and ready to be raffled off for South Coast Hospice’s Tree ofLight event on 7 December.
“We have been privileged to receive anunbelievable doll’s house as a donation,”said Hospice media correspondent, SonjaPye.
The winner of Jenny’s House will be announced on December 24. Raffle ticketscost R5.
The house comes in 125 parts and wasdonatedbyMartinandOdetteJames,fromGauteng, who opened up their hearts toHospice in January.
“Jenny’s House was started purely outof love,” said Pye.
The James’ contacted Caryl Peatt, alifelong and respected Hospice volunteer,and donated the doll’s house project to
gether with 125 issues on how to constructthe house to South Coast Hospice.
“The James’ objective and only requestto us was to have the house built to raisefunding for our annual Tree of Light event,”said Pye.
Jenny Dickson, who was very involvedwith Hospice work offered her time to buildthe doll house.
“Jenny had started an enormousproject which requires skill, dedication andattention to detail. Every piece of furniturewas carefully constructed and positionedin the interior of the house. This project was
certainly not for the fainthearted,” saidPye.
Unfortunately, Dickson was diagnosedwith cancer and was unable to completethe project.
She died on 25 June, leaving her husband Graham behind.
Dickson’s tutor, Dot Donaldson, thenstepped in and offered to complete theproject on Dickson’s behalf.
Jenny’s Housewas readyon10September. “The doll house is now aptly known asJenny’s House, which is Jenny’s heart,” saidPye.

Dear Fever,MY thanks and appreciation to
the forum members who accompa-nied the SAPS and HCM ProtectionServices Officers in the AdmiraltyReserve bush inspection.
The attendance of our residentswas not as good as we had hoped,but the numbers of SAPS membersand reservists made up for it.
There were six structures foundin the bushes which indicates thatpeople are living there, but nobody
was found.A lot of clothing, blankets and a
big suitcase was found and taken tothe police station.
Protection services will try and is-sue the occupants with eviction no-tices which will give them a 14-dayperiod to evacuate, after which thestructures can be taken down.
We are all anxiously waiting tosee what will develop from our oper-ation.
Crime in general is still down
compared to previous months. Thearea just north of Uvongo beach(Foster Road and Uvongo BeachRoad) is becoming a hot spot andholidaymakers, in particular, in thisarea must be warned.
I stress the importance of report-ing all incidents, even if consideredminor. This is required when re-sources are allocated as preventativemeasures.
REPORTS in this week’s Fever serve thecommunity by highlighting issues broughtto our attention by them.
In all cases this is a last resort when going to councillors, and even authorities hasnot worked, but by exposing situations inthe press, situations are usually resolved.
Read about the situation in Marburgwhere even ward councillor cannot get authorities to take notice of an untenable situation, where promises by HCM have beenbroken, and he is now faced with a dilemma. Coming to the press is his last hopethat something may be done.
The story of the South African SocialSecurity Services (Sassa) not arriving forfive consecutive weeks to give grants ranging from child, pension, foster and disability, is just a sheer lack of care and a disgrace.
Again a ward councillor failed to solvethe problem and the only avenue of potential help is the Fever, which can contact thecommunications officer of Sassa.
Although this person was unavailablethisweek,ourreporterwillfindoutwhythisis happening.
It is gratifying when a communitynewspaper can do what it is intended todo — help and serve the community.

Dear Fever,FROM the T-junction of Win-

Even though traffic depart-mentofficerssit innon-dangerouszones and trap people going at68km/h and make a lot of money.They make a lot of money out ofthese safer area, but what aboutthe lives lost on this back road toGamalakhe.

Dear Fever,IT seems that the subject of
Diwali and loud bangs have re-ally rallied the residents ofUmtentweni.
While I understand their con-cerns for this one night in theyear that is obviously the causefor the wildlife leaving the area(and, of course, the cars andpeople have nothing to do withporcupines crossing roads), Isincerely hope that this energywill now be directed towardspromoting safety in the area.
Imagine if the amount oftime, thought and effort that theUmtentweni Ratepayers’ Forumput behind this issue was invest-ed in the safety and crime re-duction of this neighbourhood.
Imagine if our girls were ac-tually able to walk to the shopswithout fear, or even if our eld-erly felt safe in their homes,what a positive effect we couldhave.
Achieving something likethis, one might say, would be areal victory and perhaps give usa worthy cause to focus on allyear round.
This would actually be theperfect opportunity to show in-considerate neighbours how wereally look after our own.
Just a thought.Concerned Hindu

Dear Fever,THERE have been some negative
comments floating around regardingBoswell Wilkie Circus and its associa-tion with Lions Clubs International.
Please allow me to set the recordstraight. Some of the circus staff aremembers of a Cyber Lions Club whichis affiliated to the Magaliesburg LionsClub in NorthWest Province. They areraising funds through the circus fortheirprojectsonly.Noneof this funding
reaches any other Lions club. No Lionmember or Lions club in Lions District410-C (35LionsclubswithinKwaZulu-Natal and the Freestate) supports ani-mal abuse of any kind. Many of our Li-ons clubsare involvedwithanimal res-cue projects and also provide fundingand support to organisations like theNSPCA and initiatives like “Ride 4 Rhi-nos”, etc. There are a fewhard-line ac-tivistswhoarepointing fingersatLionsClubs International in its entirety and
this is totally unacceptable. They needto take up their argument up with thecircus itself.TheLions inDistrict410-Care all volunteers who give upmuch oftheirtimeandmeanstoprovideselflessservice to our communities and the en-vironment.We ask that they please re-spect this andrather consider support-ing fundraising initiatives for our veryworthy causes.

‘Sine qua non’ is mustcriteria for all of usDear Fever,
LEADERSHIP must be knowledgeableand must understand the laws of social development. The starting of social change isnot in the ideas that society holds, but in theway society produces its goods or services.
The relationship between governmententities should always be underpinned byparadigm shift. Paradigm shift alwaysmeans both faithfulness to the past andboldnesstoengagethefuture,bothtraditionand transformation. In short is the strugglebetween the opposites, it is through thisstruggle that qualitative development takesplace. Struggle is the essence of relationshipbetween opposites. In society the struggle ofopposites assumes the form of class struggle. This is not dependent on the basic as
sumptions and the best wishes and dreamsof individuals, but it is science. And scienceis the apotheosis of intellect.
TheroleofthealliancepartnersintheNational Democratic Revolution is different butcomplimentary. Cosatu, progressive civic organisations and SACP are there to strengthen the ANC, in return the ANC has to supportit. The ANC must continue to be a principledand leading force to build a nonracial andnonsexist society. Given its own revolutionary traditions and experiences, it is the onlyorganisation (together with its allies) thatis best capable to lead this project. None ofthe opposition parties, individually or combined, have the traditions or capacity to leadbuilding of such a society.
The ANC has to combine both electoral
politics with ongoing mass work and activism.ItpracticallymeansthattheANCbranchmust be a mass weapon for our people in alocality and, at the same time, focus and leadon governance. Leaders deployed to lead inthese terrains ought to have emotional intelligence and be good strategists. Good strategy has diagnosis, guiding policy resourcesand coordinated actions to accomplish theimportant end, emotional intelligence is thetree of wisdom that is watered by tears, soleaders of ANC in governance should beready for the pesky challenges. Sine qua nonis the mustcriteria for all of us — that meansaccountability and conscientious disciplinefrom all public servant unions.
Dear Doctor Nash, My wife has been going to see a psychologist for the past three years. She goes whenever she feels theneed for direction in her life. The problem is that she never shareswith me just what her problem is. We used to communicate everyweek, always very affectionate and touching, but that has alsofallen away and now we only “do it” once a month. She tellsme I have a short temper, and that I am just like my dad anddrink too much, but she used to drink with me. It is only sinceour son was born three years ago that she stopped drinking. Wehave discussed a separation. We both have issues with each other, like I like watching the sport on TV, and yes, I have a coupleof beers then. I also like going out with the boys for a braai and
beers. Again she used to come with me, but that has stopped.I do not know how to handle this situation. Does she expect meto give up watching sport, going out with the boys, and thenonly will she do it with me again, and talk and party? What isher problem? Advice please. “Boerbul”.
DearBoerbul,Yourlettertouchesmymalechauvinisticheart.But your wife signalled to you that things were not right when shestarted to see a psychologist and not communicate with you.

SATURDAY, 2 November, saw the launch of the Oribi Gorge Marketat Leopard Rock Coffee Shop. The sunshine, the view and the jovialand relaxed atmosphere contributed to the day.

Dear Doctor Nash, I have been married to my husband for the past 20 years andwe have three daughters, but he has never been faithful. He has had ongoing affairswith his staff and even with school girls. He does not allow me to confide in my parentsor friends, and if I do he beats me. I left him once, in 2005/6, but went back to himand we planned and had another child. While I was pregnant he was drinking and camehome late or not at all. If I questioned him he would hit me. I took out a restrainingorder but that is no longer in force. The doctors have told him that if he continuesto drink the way he has he will die. He was in hospital again last month. I just do notknow what to do. I do not think he will ever change and he does have several propertiesthat he owns, if he drops dead I will have money, but to carry on living the way weare. I do not think that I can. What must I do doctor? You are well known for yourstraight advice, and I am scared. Just call me “Scared Wife”.Dear “Scared Wife”, You have said it. To have put up with the life you describe hastaken a lot of stubbornness. What you need is the courage to take action. You mustchange from a donkey to a tiger. Difficult I know, but it can be done. You have an oldrestraining order which goes to show what he is, and his hospital record also will helpyou. Take him to court, divorce him and take him to the cleaners. He is not a husbandyou can be proud of and neither is he a father your daughters can be proud of, so atleast show them that when it is necessary you can show courage and determination.They also need to learn the boundaries, and when to say enough is enough. You canbe a powerful model, as is your husband, so make sure that you at least walk the pathof courage and love, and give them a model they can be proud to follow. Courage.
Husband has never been faithful
she will help. I donot want to interfere in a colleague’s business. If I were inyour shoes Iwould also startwith the “communication”again, now.

Worldwide wedding traditions>> A common wedding tradition used across the world, this poem — something old, something new, something borrowed,something blue, silver sixpence in her shoe — represents many traditional ways to bring luck and fortune on your wedding day
SOMETHING OLDThe use of something old symbolises the bride’spast and her life with her family before she joinsa new one. Taking something old on her weddingpast means she can bring her past forward withher.SOMETHING NEWUsually the wedding dress, something new represents the new future and life the bride is facing.SOMETHING BORROWEDTraditionally the something borrowed would beloaned by a happily married woman and lendsome of her luck to the bride.SOMETHING BLUEThe colour blue is traditionally thought to represent love and fidelity, so the bride should havesomething blue to ensure she gets this.A SILVER SIXPENCE IN HER SHOEA lesser known part of the rhyme nowadays, thebride would traditionally put a sixpence in hershoe to represent prosperity and wealth.BRIDESMAIDSBridesmaids were originally used as decoy brides!It was thought that evil spirits may sabotage thenewlyweds’ happiness, so having bridesmaid’sdresses similarly and standing next to the bride,the spirits would be confused.THROWING CONFETTITraditionally grain and rice were thrown over thenewlyweds in a bid to encourage fertility, but thisis now replaced with confetti or dried flower petals for a pretty effect.BEING CARRIED OVER THE THRESHOLDThe groom should carry the bride over thethreshold of their home following the wedding asthis was the traditional way to ward off spiritsand bad luck – if the bride trips on the way in,she will have bad luck!WEDDING CAKEA wedding cake is thought to have traditionallysymbolised fertility and children. At one point itwas crumbled over the couple’s heads, but nowthey cut it together and feed it to each other.

Physics and calculus are the back bones of engineeringcourses and certain types of engineeringwill require knowledge of computer programming.• Participate in math contests and science fairs. Try engineering contests ifthey are active in your area.• Develop hobbies related to mechanicalengineering. These may include astronomy, rocketry, geology, auto mechanics,bicycle repair, welding or even robotics.• Learn to use different sorts of tools.Hammers and screwdrivers are a greatplace to start, but there are many moretools. If you have the opportunity totake a wood, metals, or plastics shopclass, do so.• Take stuff apart. Ask friends and family to give you appliances or other machines that have broken and try to takethem apart and fix, or at least see howthey are designed.• Explore the field of electronics, whichmay include activities such as ham radioand computer repair. Although electron
ics are more closely associated with electrical engineering, mechanical engineersneed, at the very least, to be able tocommunicate with electrical engineers.
• Take drafting classes. Even thoughsome engineering schools do not offerdrafting classes, drafting classes may beavailable at the high school or commu
• Develop solid written communicationskills. Documentation and technicalwriting skills are a must in many mechanical engineering jobs• Invent something. It doesn’t have tobe the next light bulb, or even a newidea. It could be something as simple asa bent wire coat hanger to dislodgesomething.• Take an interest in manufacturing.
Where do things come from or howwere they created.• Develop your creativity, too. Althougha lot of mechanical engineering is aboutbeing systematic and analytical, it is also about creative problem solving.• Get a university degree. Those withoutdegrees or state certification may workas mechanical designers or drafters,rather than as engineers. — Sourced.

GLOBALLY, the construction industry has a relatively poor health and safety record and SouthAfrica is no exception. The South African con
struction industry contributes a disproportionatenumber of fatalities and injuries relative to other industrial sectors. The drive to reduce poor health and safetyperformance is largely driven through legislation, whichplays a key role in motivating contractors to implementpractical measures to comply with health and safetyrequirements.
Compliance requirements can protect your employees and keep you within the law. Increasingly,measures are being implemented to enforce legislation on health and safety. As a business you have alegal and social responsibility regarding the occupational health and safety of your personnel. Sound occupational health and safety management is necessary because of hazards and risks that may have a detrimental effect on personnel in their workplace.
As a business owner, you need to identify and control health and safety hazards, lower the risks and improve health and safety performances. It is your responsibilityasacontractortoidentify,analyse,record,updateandobservealltheclausesinthecontractthatrelate to health and safety, including the provisionsof the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA)and the Construction Regulations. The contract conditions and OHSA place specific legal liabilities on youthrough explicit or implicit clauses. It is incumbent onyou to recognise these liabilities and to put in controlmeasures to limit the risks.
It is good business management to implementmeasures to address health and safety. Poor management of health and safety will result in financial costs.Beside injuries and fatalities, poor management ofhealth and safety leads to loss of financial resources,either through replacement cost or compensating theaffected as a result of your negligence. It is important
to recognise the link between good health and safetyperformance and good business management.

‘Justice delayed isJUSTICE DENIED’>> Community calls for SAPS and courts to work togetherGINISILE NDOVELA>>[email protected]
LASTFridaytheVulamehlocom-munity of Ward 6 handed overalistofcomplaintstoVulamehlo
Magistrate Sam Dubazane and theDududu SAPS station commanderGilbert Chiliza, demanding that thepolice and the court work together tofindaman,who cannot benamed forlegalreasons,accusedofrapingthreechildren, and asking that the courtfind him guilty and sentence him.They also asked the court not to givethe suspect bail.
The ANC regional executive com-mittee member Sizwe Ngcobo readout their list of complaints.
The community comprised ANCand NFP members who said theydon’t need a serial rapist in the com-munity. Ward Councillor BonginkosiMqadi said the suspect had been outonbailandhadthreatenedastatewit-ness. He was then rearrested.
The area has been rocked by thehorrific acts of child abuse as it is al-legedthattheaccusedrapedonechildand as result the child died, the otherchild he allegedly raped is still in hos-pitalwhile the third one is recoveringat home.
It is believed that the child whodied was the suspect’s relative and itis her sisterwho is fighting forher lifein ICU.
It isalsoallegedthatthesuspectal-sorapedagoat,andsomepeoplesus-pect he is mentally disturbed.
“The women and children ofBhewula continue to be abused andkilled. Police and courts continue tolivelifeasthoughthesethingshappen
elsewhere. What worries us in thissub-region is the rate of arrest andconvictions in these crimes and thewillingness of the courts to give per-petrators bail as low as R1 000.
“We have noted the failure of theVulamehlo magistrate to properlyprosecute offenders. As ANC in thissub-region,webelievethatjusticede-
layedisjusticedenied.AstheANC,wehave noted the failure of DududuSAPS to adequately investigatecrimes and the lack of communica-tion with witnesses, victims and in-vestigating officer,” said Ngcobo.
Ngcobo added they demand theurgent investigation into the cause ofdeath of the child.
“Wedemandprotectionofwomenand children in this sub-region. Wedemandthat theaccusedberemovedinBhewula. Policemust reducecasesof rape by seven percent per annumand reduce domestic violence andstart to prioritise all gender-basedcrimes,” said Ngcobo.
Hepointedout that themagistratemust increase conviction rates by10% a year for women and childrenabusers.
“The court must not grant thembail as they rape and kill children.When out on bail, they threaten andkill witnesses, so prosecutors mustopposebail toprotect thewomenandchildren,” said Ngcobo.

THE Southern KwaZuluNatal Rugby SubUnionrecognised the outstanding performers of theyear at their annual awards evening held at
Brackenmoor Estate in Uvongo on Friday.The subunion enjoyed their most successful sea
son in history as the senior and Under21 teams secured their first ever Inter SubUnion titles in August.
The senior side edged Durban 2220 to capture theEbbo Bastard trophy while the Under21s pipped Durban 2015 to win the Philip Nel trophy in the respectivefinals played at Kings Park.
“We had a fantastic season, the best ever,” Southern KwaZuluNatal Rugby SubUnion presidentDougie Haralambous told the Fever.
“There were a lot of firsts for us, with the seniorsand Under21s claiming historic wins and MakhandaHigh School being crowned the best school.
“We also had a lot of players who were selectedfor the Wildebeest XV, who won their first SARUSouthern SubUnion title, and the country districtsteam that went to France. To be part of such a historymaking year is special for everyone involved.”
Haralambous added that the subunion’s sponsorship deals with Tiago’s and Riversmead PoultryFarms have been renewed for another year. “At thisday and age it’s hard to get sponsors, so we thankthem for their continuous support.”
KwaZuluNatal Rugby Union president GrahamMacKenzie commended the subunion’s committee,management and players on their heroics and saidthey thoroughly deserved to be recognised as the bestsubunion in the province.
The Senior Player of the Year award went to Kapaailand ace Jason Kashula, while Fidelity SecuritySouth Coast Warriors star James Fourie was acknowledged as the Under21 Player of the Year and Scottburgh won the Club of the Year award.
Fourie’s achievement is particularly impressivegiven that he made an unusual switch from outsidecentre to lock this season.
“It’s such a great feeling to know that I was eventakennoteofatall,especiallybecausemyseasonwascut short due to a shoulder injury I suffered in our clubfinal,” a surprised Fourie said.
“It was such a great season as a whole. Movingfrom the backline to the forwards was tough but totally worth it. I enjoy the physical side of the gameand felt I performed better at lock where I was moreinvolved.”
For Fourie, however, the team’s title triumph superseded his personal accolade. “The title we won asa team means much more to me simply because ofhow far we’ve come as a group.
“It’s easier for a single player to stand out in a season, but the fact that both myself and the whole teamwere recognised means a whole lot more to me.
“I would not have won this award if it weren’t forthe whole squad so a huge thank you to the coachingstaff, my teammates and the supporters.”
