THE Port Shepstone chapter ofthe Palestine Solidarity Alliancejoinedmillions of people in con-
demning the Israeli invasion of Pales-tine, and the killing of innocent civil-ians among whom are women andchildren.
Our peaceful protest this Saturdaywas a spontaneous response to high-light to theworld our total abhorrenceof this serious violation of humanrights at the hands of the Israelimilitary.Since13June more than269Palestinians have been killed, includ-ing women and children.
Wecondemnthebarbaricandcruelnature of the invasion especially the
use of indiscriminatebombs intocivil-ianareas resulting inhugenumbersofcivilian casualties.
This is terrorismandwe cannot re-main silent on this issue.
We call on all peace-loving peopleon theHibiscusCoast toadd theirvoic-es to the growing international cam-paign tostop this Israeli terrorism. Webelieve that to remain silent is to becomplicit in these crimes against hu-manity.
We call on all religious leaders, andreligiousorganisationswithin theUguDistrict to dedicate one day a week tofocus on the human tragedy takingplace inPalestineandtopray forpeace
crimes against humanity. We notifybusinesses, which supply goods fromIsrael, that they will be the subject ofsustained consumer boycotts andpublicity for supporting a terroriststate which kills innocent civilians.
As citizens of a peace-loving coun-try,wedemand that theSouthAfricangovernment re-call itsambassador toIsrael with immediate effect.
We call for the Israeli ambassadorto be expelled. We cannot allow ourcountrytoentertain,andorgivecredi-bility to what we believe is a terroriststate. We call on SA to only resumediplomatic relations once Israel hasshown commitment to lasting peace,and hasmade a commitment to paycompensation for the damages suf-fered by Palestine.

‘Another twomonths of waiting’>> Another expert to testify in Stander trial
CANDYCE KRISHNA>>[email protected]
MANDIE Stander, mother to Burry Stander,said itwill beanother “twomonthsofwaiting”.
The world renowned Olympic cyclist waskilled when a taxi turned into his path whilecycling in Shelly Beach last January.
“The memories are still so close. I am ex-tremely disappointed that it has been post-poned again and there is no guarantee thatthereisgoingtobeclosurewhenwecomeback.It is another twomonthsof agony, not knowingwhat is going to happen,” she said.
The case, for which trial started last year,
waspostponedtoSeptemberatPortShepstoneMagistrate’s Court on Friday.
Stander(25)wascyclingalongMarineDrivein Shelly Beach on January 2013when a colli-sionoccurredbetweenhimandataxidrivenbyNjabulo Nyawose (24).
Nyawose has pleaded not guilty to a chargeof culpable homicide or alternatively recklessandnegligentdriving. Dressed inbrownpantsandablue jacket, he sat calmly in thedockdur-ing court proceedings.
A Garmin expert who took the stand at PortShepstoneMagistrate’sCourtonThursdaysaidheretrieveddatafromStander’sGarminwhichwas used on the day of his accident.
He explained to the court that once the datawasdownloaded, it couldnotbeeditedas therewould be a footprint of the action.
Accident reconstruction expert Craig Proc-tor-Parker testifiedthat,accordingtohis inves-tigation, Stander was cycling at a mediumspeed when the collision occurred.
Duringcrossexamination,defenceattorneyXolile Ntshulana said his client felt that hewasmistreated from the get-go of the case and thatit may be a “racial issue”.
HequestionedwhyProctor-Parker’sinvesti-gation focused on Stander and why it didn’tconsider his client’s version.
Ntshulana also questioned who had re-quested Proctor-Parker’s services.
“I’m not here for anyone. I’m here becauseIamafriendofthecourt.Idoalotofgovernmentwork andmy contract says I have to give back[to society]. I have considered Mr Nyawose’sversion in my report.”

“Beautiful scenery and evenmore beautiful people.What a com-bination here on the South Coast. Iamabsolutely blownaway,” he said,beforedashingoff tosignmoreauto-graphs and take more pics.
He even managed to squeeze insome nifty legwork, clearly nothaving had enough of the night be-fore.
Sundowners at the Cock &Tail inMargate got listeners the chance tosettle a longstanding feud betweenDarrenandNatarah—whichoneofthem is the better singer?
Well, itwasahands-downwinforNatarah, but Darren brought thehouse downwith his nifty (or crazy)dance moves.
While Justin Mackrory, CEO ofUgu South Coast Tourism, chatted

The Grade 10 pupil from Lusik-isiki, EasternCape,was among abusloadof pupils returning fromasportsevent when the bus was involved inan accident four years ago.
Her left ear was sheared off, leav-ing her disfigured.
A Port Shepstone family, whowishes to remain anonymous, paidfor Mwawa and her mother to travelto Port Shepstone to consult with thedoctor and then return home toLusisiki.
Doctor Sugudhav attended to thepatient in her rooms on 30 June anddid her initial assessments.
She has undertaken to consultwithcolleaguesinthemedical fieldonthe appropriate treatment and thepossibility of having the patient un-dergo reconstructive surgery.
Mwawa and her mother enjoyedthe hospitality of Lieutenant-ColonelNovandla’s home where they stayedovernight before departing forLusisiki the following day.
“Atthisstageeverybodyisoptimis-tic that the situation looks bright forAmahle.
“Sheandher family are grateful tothose who have joined hands to helpimprove her life,” said police spokes-person Captain Vincent Pandarum.
Novandla said she wishes to ex-
press her thanks to the family whogaveMwawaandhermotherR500tocover transport costs and to DrSugudhav for her “humanitarianspirit” and for attending to Mwawa.
She also thankedMargate ClusterCommander Brigadier MorrrisMoodley and the Margate StationCommander Colonel DavidGovender for their understandingand support.
A positive spin-off from the initialmedia coverage was that the RoadAccident Fund (RAF) head office inBisho learnt of Amahle’s plight andcontacted Novandla telephonically.
“They informed her that they hadprearranged with their offices inLusisiki for a RAF claim to beprocessed on behalf of Amahle,” saidMoodley.
Novandlapaid forAmahleandhermother to travel to theLusisiki officeswhere the documentation was com-pleted with the assistance of theLusisiki SAPSwhoprovided copies ofthe relevant case docket statements,the accident report and the hospitalmedical report relating to the bus ac-cident.
The documents are currently atthe RAF head offices in Bisho.
Novandla thanks those whophoned in withmessages of support,good wishes and prayers forMwawa to be healed and madewhole again.

Stand together against bullies>> ‘Many are ignorant about the effects of bullying so we need to create awareness’

LOCAL lass Carishma Basdaysaysshewasavictimofbullyingwhich resulted in her choosing

She has now settled in Cape Townwhere she is pursuing her acting
career.WithNationalBullyingAwareness

“Many are ignorant about the ef-fects of bullying so we need to createawareness because when we knowbetterwecandobetter. Iwasavictimofbullying,but Iwasluckytobebless-ed with a strong will, determinationand a great support system whichhelped me form a shield against theonslaught of bullying.Most arenot solucky,” she said.
The Jag Foundation launched itsBully Proof programme five yearsago,andsincethenmorethan11 000children have passed through theprogramme and become “bullyproof”.
This unique programme uses ballgames to teach children messagesabout how to stand up to bullies. It istaught in life-orientation classes tochildren in Grades 4-7. The uniqueidea of this programme empowersthe victim and takes away the focusand attention from the bully, wheremost anti-bullying programmesmerely punish the victim.
“By being an ambassador andsharingmystoryIhopeto inspireandencourageotherstodothesame,”shesaid.
“I am actively involved incampaigns and spend time when Icangoing toschools tosharemystoryandencourageothers tostandupandnot stand by,” she said.
TheJagFoundationhasmade thisprogramme free to download for
schools and institutions to run andimplement as a school initiative, freeof charge.
Companies,schoolsandthepubliccan show their support for the pro-gramme by buying purple wrist-bands for R20.
All funds generated will go to-wards the expansion of the BullyProof programme for children inunderprivileged communities.

Night of big Coca-Cola winners>> ‘I saw the car as I was walking in and I told my parents, who were with me, that this is my car’
VUSI MTHALANE
COCA-Cola held a Partnering forProfit draw at Umtentweni'sUmthunzi Boutique Hotel and
Conference Centre on Tuesday nightwhere a Marburg businesswomandrove away in a new car.
The draw was a culmination of athree-month-long campaign thatsought to reward honest store own-erswho sell a 1.25 litre Coca-Cola atR9. The winner of the Polo, SohanaMoodley of Marburg Supermarket,wasoneof20finalists fromKwaZulu-Natal and the Eastern Cape.
Other finalists also walked awaywith prizes, courtesy of Coca-Cola.
Speaking to the Fever, Moodleysaidshehadnowords todescribeherfeeling.
"I saw the car as I was walking inand I toldmyparents,whowerewithme, that this is my car," she said.

AT the beginning of the year Iformed part of a Ugu DistrictMunicipalitydelegationtothe
GardenRouteandtheCapePeninsu-lar to assess the beach facilities inthat part of the country.
In our report for that trip, werecommended that the district mu-nicipality arrange a similar tripalong our coastline.
Delays in this recommendationpromptedourboardtomandateUguSCTtohost thetripwhichwedidtwoweeks ago.
Municipalofficials,privatesectorrepresentatives from our tourismarea committees, tour guides andour personnel took two days to visitmunicipally-managed beachesfrom Scottburgh down to Port Ed-ward.
We are now in the process of col-latingtourattendee inputssowecansubsequently provide a report forthe local authorities, our board andUgu SCT members.
What did strike me was that wehave an amazing selection of beachofferings ranging from the verytouristy with a strong commercialorientation (Scottburgh and Mar-
gate) to the secluded and naturallyappealing (Pennington and LeisureBay).
This variance inbeachpresenta-tion thus affords us the opportunityto accommodate the visitor whoseeks all the trimmings of resort-type beaches as well as the purefamily relaxerwhowants space andan element of privacy.
In all cases, our initial observa-tions suggest that in rectifying whatare essentially a set of snag lists wecould, without undue cost, presentour beaches in a very acceptablemanner and visitor-friendly man-ner.
It does appear however, thatwherealocalconservancyorassoci-ationhas joinedhandswith the localauthority and the Coast Care Pro-gramme (a national department ofenvironment initiative) those beachprecincts are thebest in the country.
The key to a positive beach expe-rience is hygiene and the conditionof public change-rooms, showersand ablutions.
A number of beaches we visitedhave really top-class andwell-man-aged ablutions however, there are
beaches with ablutions that requireimmediate attention. It is generallythose latter beaches which let theside down as it were and we will beencouraging our colleagues in localmunicipalities to address the rectifi-cation need.
We (even though we are not a lo-cal authority) are often inundatedwithcomplaintsabout thebeachab-lutions at certain popular beachesand as such, we are of the opinionthat our trip report may induce ac-tion to the point that both local au-thorities and our destination mayend up receiving praise for ourbeach presentation as opposed tothe opposite.
Wedohaveabeachparadisehereon the coast and with the concertedfixing of the snags, I have no doubtthat our residents and tourists willmarvel at our re-polished leisureand holiday trophy.

MY husband and I have a 17yearolddaughter. She is rebellious and sleepsaround.SheisinGrade10andherboyfriendis a man of 28.
Wewantedtochargehimwithrape,butshe said we cannot because she was willing. She is pregnant. If we send her backto the family she will say we have abandoned her, but the family live in a rural areaand the elders are strong there and willknow the truth.
The boyfriend has a job and is stablefinancially. We have spoken to him, and hehasaccepted that mydaughter is pregnantand that it is his child, but he does not wantto marry her.
He has another girlfriend and says thathe told my daughter that it is over and heis now with this other woman. We do notknow what to do. Any suggestions Doc?
Mrs. M.N.Dear Mrs. M.N.As you write, your daughter “is a rebel
lious girl”. I would also add that she haslittle respect for her parents or your tribalvalues.
As you write she could well benefit fromgoing back to the family and be subject tothe elders and discipline. Also changingfrom a school in town to a rural schoolmight also cause her to understand whather parents have given her.
Do you think that it may be worthwhileto ask the elders to interview the boyfriend? He may not be prepared to marryyour daughter and he may not be the idealfather for his child, but he must be madeaware of his responsibilities.

Unfairly treated at work
Dear Doctor Nash,I have problems at work. I can only say
that I work for the government. I waspromised a better job and better pay by theend of last year, but the manager broughtin a guy for me to teach.
He does not work well, and yet he getsmore money than I get. There are manycomplaints about him, he is never therewhen I am on leave or away. The managerasked me to continue working in the department although I had requested atransfer.
Now my departmental manager saidhe will deploy me somewhere else so thenew guy will have to manage and so eitherI shape up or the big manager will have todo something. But I think I am in the middlehere and that Mr. Big is just looking afterhis friend and no way am I going to win.
“Unhappy, Frustrated Lady”.Dear UFL,Get your anger out, control it and then
pick your plan. Why not get your department manager to work on your deployment to another department? Keep inwith him, he is your friend, but be carefulof Mr Big who obviously has an axe to grind.I would think, if possible, try to get a transfer out of the area and out of Mr Big’s influence. It is a waste of time trying to fightthe system, you either work with it or getout. We need, honest productive people,especially in the public service.

Happy accidents and God’s graceTO kick off Mandela Week I
thought I should give ajoyful account of why you
and everyone you know (and therest of the cosmos) should notexist.
Hopefully by the end of thiscolumn you will have decidedif you exist by the grace of God orif you are nothing but a happyaccident.
We gather our perception ofthe universe from “the standardmodel”, which predicted some-thing called the Higgs Boson,infamously known as the “GodParticle”.
Hints of the particle werefound by scientists using theLarge Hadron Collider (LHC), inGeneva in July 2012.
The LHC is currently thelargest scientific instrument inthe world, having a circumfer-ence of 27 kilometres and
spanning three countries (theSKA will dethrone the LHC with2000 satellite dishes inAfrica and another 1000 in Aus-tralia when it is completed in2024).
The existence of this particlemeans there is a “Higgs field”,which is thought to give mass toother particles, if the standardmodel holds true.
In March, this publicationreported on the Bicep2 resultsfrom a telescope placed on theSouth Pole which claimedthey had indirectly detectedgravitational waves, which arethe ripples in space consistentwith the idea that the universeexpanded rapidly very shortly af-ter the “Big Bang”.
Together these two discoveriesseem to suggest that the universeshould not exist — that the cos-mos should have collapsed on
itself almost immediately afterthe Big Bang.
This obviously isn’t true, or Iwould not be sitting herewatching television while tryingto type.
It must be said however, thatthe scientists who conducted theBicep2 experiment admit thatthey may not have, in fact, de-tected gravitational waves — theripples from the cosmic inflation— instead they may have detect-ed space dust from our own gal-axy, the Milky Way.
Stuff happens, that’s sciencefor you.
So, something is not righthere.
Obviously there are otherphysics we are yet to understandat play.
Maybe it has something to dowith dark matter, maybe not.
At this point we can only
speculate and avoid what I justdid, using dark matter — a forcewe barely understand — to try toaccount for a result that shouldnot be.
This is what science is allabout, what excites most scien-tists — and science journalistsalike — the advent of what is tobe known and what new mysterycould be born out of new discov-eries.
Paraphrasing Nelson Mandela,when one reaches the top of ahill, one finds that there aremany more to be climbed.
That is basically the path ofscientific discovery.
Also, when one reaches thatcrest of discovery, one may findthat when looking back there arepotholes left behind, gaps in theknowledge of what we alreadyknow.
Happy knowledge hunting.

When in doubt, wing it
MY weekly column is due in a fewshort hours, and despite muchgnashing of teeth, consumption ofthe literature of my hero BenTrovato,andsmokingof cigarettes,I findmyselfnoclosertoapotential-ly award-winning idea.
It has been a weekend in which
no insightful thoughts whatsoeverentered my mind, and I have beenleft stymied.Then it occurred tomethat this phenomenon is no wayunique to me and my attempt towrite this column. In every profes-sion, there is a time and a place forwinging it and hoping for the best.
For an accountant, this mightmean dissuading a client from sui-cide in theeventof the lossofhis lifesavings. In the field of science andmedicine, winging it has led to thediscovery of great things like peni-cillin. For administrators, wingingitmaysimplymeanfindingthewill-power to carry on and keep thatsmile on your dial when that hatedclient who stares down your shirtand sniffs continuouslywhilewait-ing toseeyourbosswalks in.Foranappliance repairman, winging it
maymean finding theperfectangleatwhichtosmackatelevisionsetin-to submission.
Perhaps the best example of acareer which relies onwinging it ishostage negotiation. Having theskill to get into the mind and heartof that particular sociopath to dis-suadehimfromdetonatingabomb,shootingavictimorwhateverotheratrocity his twisted mind hascooked upmakeswriting a columnat 1am on a Monday morning looklike child’s play.
Then thereare successful entre-preneurs who have built a careerand a life out of winging it.Withoutthe power of winging it, Steve Jobswould not have started the multi-million dollar Apple empire fromhisgarage.Admittedly,ontheotherside of the coin, Julius Malema
would not have started the Eco-nomic Freedom Fighters.
When it comes to social lives,winging it forms a vital part of eti-quette.Onemustbeable to thinkonone’s feet and come up with validreasons to not attend Auntie Muri-el’s 80th birthday party at the dropof a hat. Potential suitors must beprovidedwithplausibleexcuses forwhy you’re unable for a date, suchas thatyou’reattendingAuntieMu-riel’s 80th.
The advent of social media andtext messaging has provided mil-lennials with a valuable tool in thegame of winging it. When you re-ceiveamessage,youhavethatvalu-able two minutes before a reply isexpected in order to think, to planand to wing it.
Ihavelongwishedthatmankindwasblessedwith theability to fly. Inthe absence of that, at least we canwing it.

Municipality lackscapacity to deliverTHE municipality, as part of
local government, plays apivotal role in serving the
people directly. The idea of wall-to-wall municipalities was a good onetoaddressdevelopment issues. nowmunicipalities facemanychallengesthat are structural.
There are three levels of govern-ment in this country, which are na-tional, provincial and local.
Now letme refer to certain issuesof service delivery in our district,Ugu. Our district has a majorproblem of delivering water effi-ciently.
Ugu lacks resources in terms ofcapital, skilled labour, dams andstate of the art purifying facilities.
If one looks at Durban Metro,thereare fewerproblems in termsof
deliveringwatertocitizens.Anotherissue is that of delivering houses.
Letus takeHibiscusCoastMunic-ipality — this municipality delivershousesatasnail’space. It tookyearsfor Hibiscus to deliver houses in thefollowing areas: Mkholombe,Latshoda and Louisiana.
There is another municipality,Ezinqoleni,whichisonabrinkofcol-lapsing. This municipality has norevenue base.
DurbanMetrohas the capacity toovercome these challenges, not onlybecause it has a solid revenue base, but mostly because they work di-rectlywith the national governmentas stipulated in the constitution.
Durban metro receives fundingforhousesdirectly fromthenationalgovernment.
This iswhy theirprocess ismuchfaster compared to ours in Ugu andall six other localmunicipalities thatfall under it.
Therearehouses inHibiscus thatneed to be transferred to owners.
ButbecauseHibiscushastoapplyfor funding from provincial govern-ment, there have been delays since2008.
In all, these challenges show thatonly two levels of government areneededforservicedelivery tobeeffi-cient. Provincial government ham-pers service delivery. National gov-ernment should work directly withlocal government to deliver servicesspeedily andefficiently toall the citi-zens of this country.

Teenagersneed theirparentsLITTLE attention is being paid to thechildren by parents.
Teenagers have learnt to live theirlives independently because parentsdon’t give them the attention theyshould be giving them.
Teenagershavemadeusingdrugs,drinking alcohol and staying on theirphonesalldayeverydayawayofdeal-ing with being neglected.
Teenage pregnancy and HIV/Aidshave increased rapidly in SAbecauseof the littleknowledgeteenagershaveabout practising safe sex.
Yes, schools touch on these sub-jects, but it is not enough to help thesuffering generation grasp every-thing–it’snotdoneonapersonallevellike it would be done talking to a par-ent. Crime has also increased in ourcommunity and this is caused by theuse of drugs.
Many people end up stealing intheir neighbourhoods and even intheir own households, so they couldsell the stolengoodsandgetmoney tobuyafix.So,theuseofdrugshasabadeffect not only on the user, but on thecommunity as well.
Parents think that giving freedomto their children tousegadgetsexces-sively isnot aharmful thing todo.Butthis does lead to the kidnapping ofchildren by online paedophiles,cyber-bullying and access to porn.
As a teenager myself, I advise allparents to spend timewith their chil-dren. You’ll be surprised to see howmuchyourchildactuallyneedsyou inhis or her life. Trust me, they don’thave it all under control.
They are vulnerable and need aperson to talk to – not only a parent,but a friend.
Try it sometime and you’ll realisethat the toughcreature portrayedontheoutsideisnothinglikethehelplessperson on the inside.

Positive reward – positive behaviourYOU need to offer positive rewards forpositive behaviour, which is any be-haviourthatyouwishtoberepeatedbyyour partner, colleague or child.
When your child, or anyone in yourlife, does something you admire andwish to be repeated, you need to offerthema reason, an incentive, to contin-ue that specific behaviour.
If your child is usually runningaround the house, being disruptive,and youmention that they should playin the garden, be sure to acknowledgetheir behaviour.
While they are outside, go outsideand show your appreciation for theirbehaviour. Tell them how proud youareofhowtheyareable toplayoutsideso well.
Reinforcement should be done ev-ery time theyareengaging inanactivi-ty that you wish for them to repeat.Whether they finished all their food,are playing quietly, finished theirhomework or cleaned their room.
Even if theroomisnotup toyour in-tendedstandards,rewardthemfortheattempt.
If your partner leaves dishes in thesink, and this frustrates you and it’s abehaviour you want to change, youcan. Next time your partner leavesdishes in the sink, say nothing; don’tput the dishes away, nor acknowledgethey are there. The first time they putthem in the dishwasher, get excited,and thank them over and over again.If they ever leave dishes in the sink,
don’t say or do anything. If they putthem in the dishwasher (desired be-haviour)rewardtheminvariousways.
If youwere at work, and yourman-ager always told you that youdidn’t dothingsright,andwasalwaystellingyouhow it could be done better, youwouldbegin to loseyourspiritandwouldgiveup trying to please them.
However,ifyourmanagerconstant-ly praised you and gave you positivefeedback, youwould always bewillingto do more and go the extra mile thenext time around. Children are quitethe same; youwant them to feel proudof themselvesandtheirbehaviour.Youwant them to continue wanting toplease you and make you proud.

Ramadan: keeping healthy>> Every mentally and physically fit Muslim past the age of puberty, who observes the month, must fast
THE month of Ramadan, the holiestof months in the Islamic faithwhere the divine Allah (SWT)
commanded the Archangel Jibraeel todescend from the skies to the final messenger of the faith, Prophet Mohammed(PBUH) with the first verses of the HolyQuraan.
This blessed month emphasises theimportance of increasing spiritual devotion and sense of community, particularly in the last ten days. In this month theQur'an was revealed, and Muslims usethis opportunity to connect to the holybook, starting and completing duringthe entire month. The word Ramadan isderivedfromtheArabicword"Ramdaa",which means intense scorching heat anddryness. It is said that Ramadan is socalled so because it burns away sins.
Who is eligible to fast?Every mentally and physically fit
Muslim who is past the age of puberty,who observes the month, must fast fromdawn till dusk. Dawn is indicated by AlFajr prayer (morning prayer) and dusk which is indicated by Al Maghrib prayer(prayer at sunset) every day, for the entire month.
Children, the elderly, those sick, theinsane, travellers and pregnant or nursing mothers are exempt from fasting.However they are required to feed at
least one poor person a day during Ramadan for the fasts they missed.
Women who have their monthlyperiod are also exempted, but only during those days, and should resume fasting when the period stops. They alsohave to make up for the days they missedby fasting for a day for each missed dayany time before the next Ramadan.
This year, Ramadan falls in July, andis expected to have the longest days inalmost 30 years for Muslims in the
northern hemisphere and the shortestdays for Muslims in the southern hemisphere.
To stay healthy while fasting thisRamadan, drink a lot of water duringnonfasting hours, especially duringSuhour (predawn meal). Also avoidsmoking, high sugar and high fat foodsand focus on healthy food.
One should break the fast gently, notby eating a lot. Traditionally, one shouldbreak the fast with a few dates and wa
ter, as dates are an immediate source ofenergy and potassium.
Ingeneral,oneshouldreducesaltandsalty food intake, stop consuming caffeine and sugary drinks during the summer, whether one is fasting or not.
Also, it is better if one schedules outdoor activities early in the morning or inthe evening, as to avoid any complications from the sun and heat.
Fasting is one of the five pillars (duties) of Islam. Fasting the month of Ramadan was made obligatory on the second year of Al Hijra. Al Hijra means "themigration", which is when the ProphetMohammad (PBUH) and his followersmigrated from Makkah, his home town,to Madinah to escape his tribe's harmand torture. Fasting, in general, is meantto humble oneself and help increase
one's moral discipline as well as serve asa reminder of the plight of those less fortunate.
Ramadan's fast is not just a foodfast; fasters should abstain from food,drinks and sexual activities. Any negative behaviour such as lying, using foulor insulting language and backbiting isforbiddeningeneralbutwouldbeagreatsin in Ramadan.
Fasting also has health benefits byhelping the body cleanse itself, as it detoxifiesthebodyandspeedsupthehealing process as the energy usually used fordigestion is diverted towards metabolism and the immune system.
Ramadan is the ninth month of thelunar calendar. The lunar calendar has 12months like the solar calendar, but it is11 days shorter than the solar calendar.The 11day difference causes the startingday of Ramadan to move every year andso it can occur in a different season eachyear.
Many scholars believe that Islam andits duties following a lunar calendar is aform of justice and mercy from god, asthe months move across the differentseasons.
This rotation leads to duties, such asfasting and Haj falling in different seasons and during better weather and somaking it easier. www.indianspice.co.za

Eid ul-Fitr - serving three purposes>>It is also an occasion for prayers when the Muslims gather in large congregations, standing shoulder to shoulder
EID AlFitr is the most important festival in the Islamic calendar (Muslimholiday). The day does not mark any
historical event or episode; but its existence provides the Muslim for an occasionto offer thanks to Allah for having givenhim the strength and the will to observefast during the holy month of Ramadan.
It is also an occasion for prayers whenthe Muslims gather in large congregations,standing shoulder to shoulder, to demonstrate the equality and equity which is the
inherent feature of Islamic society all overthe world.
But the greatest significance of this dayof rejoicing lies in the fact that on this dayevery Muslim is enjoined to give the needyfood at the rate of the prescribed weightper every member of his household, including servants and guests who were sheltered under his roof the preceding evening.Eid AlFitr then serves a threefold purpose: It places upon every Muslim the obligation to remember Allah and offer Him
alization of the feebleness of their character. No more will they have to argue, without much conviction, against fasting. Nomore will they have to think up an excuseevery morning for not fasting. No more willthey have to say "Oh, but fasting is oldfashioned; it was not meant for the modern world."
It is not my object here to explain thephilosophy of fasting. Almost everyone realizes the spiritual, social, scientific andmedical benefits which are derived fromfasting. But so far as a Muslim, a true believer, is concerned, it should be sufficientthat fasting is prescribed in the Holy Bookof Allah, and as such is the command ofAllah. Should one seek to justify Allah'scommands?
The measure of a man's love for hisCreator is his unquestioned obedience tothe commands of the Creator. When forwhole month a Muslim has obeyed Allah,unquestioningly, without complaint, without regret, and when he has spent his timein prayers, in humility and in charity, shouldone wonder, if at the end of this period, theCreator may Himself turn to such creatureof His and say: "It is now for thee to askfor Me to give."
Ramadan, the holiest month in the Is
stain not only from sensual pleasures buteven from the necessities of life like foodand drink. Some do this in shivering cold,some in burning heat, some do it wheredays are short and others where days areinterminably long. The rich fast as well asthe poor, the master as well as the servant;the parents as well as the child; the ruleras well as the. subject.
They all fast, regardless of the colour ortheir social position.Having done this, for one whole month, today on this auspicious day of Eid AlFitr, every Muslim should be ready to face the yearthat lies ahead with renewed strength,greater understanding and universalgoodwill. He has fasted to acquire piety,discipline and selfcontrol. Now the habitof unquestioning obedience to Allah is cultivated in his heart and mind. He is nowtrained to accept the commands of Allah,in the remaining eleven months of the year,with the same unwavering loyalty. He hasemerged from the month of Ramadanwithanewpersonalityandastrongercharacter, confident of his ability to subordinate his desire to his will, his emotion tohis intellect.
No longer will it be difficult for him torefrain from intoxicating drinks; no longerwill he turn away from his less fortunatebrethren; no longer will he fail to understand and appreciate the pain of hunger,the pangs of thirst.
So the training period of Ramadan hascome to an end. Now we are entering theera of normal activities of life. If the lessonslearnt in Ramadan have left their marksupon our character, we are entitled to enjoyEid AlFitr.
Eid AlFitr, often abbreviated as simply Eid,is an Islamic holiday of marks the end ofRamadan, the month of fasting. On theday of the celebration, a typical Muslimfamily gets up very early and attends special prayers held only for the occasion in bigmosques, in large open areas, stadiums orarenas. The festivities and merriment startafter the prayers with visits to the homesof friends and relatives and thanking theCreator for all blessings. Eid is a time tocome together as a community and to renew friendship and family ties. This is atime for peace for all Muslims in the worldto devote to prayers and mutual wellbeing.
It's a joyous occasion with important religious significance. Happiness is observedat attaining spiritual uplift after a monthof fasting. Muslims dress in holiday attire.After attending the special congregationalprayer in the morning, worshippers greetand embrace each other in a spirit of peace,love, and brotherhood. Visiting friends andrelatives is common.
For Muslims, Eid AlFitr is a joyful celebration of the achievement of enhancedpiety. It is a day of forgiveness, moral victory and peace, of congregation, fellowship,brotherhood and unity. Muslims are notonly celebrating the end of fasting, butthanking God for the help and strengththat he gave them throughout the previous month to help them practice selfcontrol.
Common greetings during this festivalare the Arabic greeting "Kul Aam Wa AntumBiKhair","EidSaeed"oritsUrduvariation "Eid Mubarak" which, looselytranslated, means "happy Eid!"

Be a great customer in a restaurant>> Remember that underneath good and bad restaurants there are people working really hard trying to make a living
GOING to a restaurant is like a dance;when everything's in rhythm, there'sa gracefulness to it. Servers make
you feel good, the kitchen makes its bestfood, and dinner gets to you right on time.But in this dance, customers aren't the audience; they're the partners. Here are a fewsteps, both for when you're leading andwhen you're following.
• Make Miss Manners proudI hate to start this thing off sounding
like a scold, but c'mon people, look yourserver or bartender in the eye, and say,"please" and "thank you." Even I know todo this, and I was raised in a barn. And whileI'm at it, here's some grooming advice —the only cologne worse than Desperationis Entitlement.
• Work the phonesMaking reservations online is great
you can do it whenever you want, like before your morning coffee, when you knowyou shouldn't be allowed to talk to people.But once you're caffeinated, you shouldfeel free to talk to restaurants.
Give them a call ahead of time if you'recoming with a friend who has an allergy oris on a special diet or if you'd like a privatetable and if you're going to be late for yourreservation, or anything else that's goingto affect how they deal with you.
Most places are happy to make specialarrangements if they have some advancenotice. Just remember, you'll automatically be a more charming conversationalist ifyou call outside of the dinner rush.
• Menu is your friendIoncesawawomanputdownhermenu
without opening it. Instead, she bullied herwaiter into reciting every ingredient in thehouse so she could decide that she wantedthe grilled lobster, only steamed, andserved with the sauce that goes with thechicken on the side, next to the roastedpotatoes that come with the steak. Onlythe potatoes had to be boiled.
If the cooks weren't going to mangleher food, I was going to find my way intothe kitchen to do it for them.
There are places where this is an acceptable, even preferred method of order
ing. But if your server starts recoiling likeyou're a dog with a foamy mouth, you'renot in the right place for it.
Remember that a kitchen, during service, is a specialised assembly line. It takesa team working like a machine to crank out300 dinners in two hours, and they do thatbest when they're putting together dishesthey're used to putting together. Don'tgum up the works.
We all want food cooked with love, butyou really don't want food cooked withcontempt. (Allergies, of course, are an exception, but in that case it's best to callahead both for the cooks' sanity and yoursafety.)
• Consider the obscureWhile we're talking about using the
menu, show a little love to the lonely. Let'sface it — most of the time the steak is therebecause the chef feels it has to be therefor the people who won't eat anythingelse. It's not a labour of love; it's an obligation. But probably the pig's foot or the eelare not there out of obligation. Probably
they are there because someone in thekitchen loves them and really wants to doright by them. You want to get in on thataction.
• Do two apps at the barMost appetiser menus are more
interesting than their maincourse cousins. We have this idea that main coursesshould always be a big hunk of animal,some kind of sauce, and some vegetablesriding shotgun. Apps, though, are free to bewhat they want to be. And you know thoselabours of love I was talking about, wellmost of the time they'll be on the appmenu so that people don't feel like they'regambling away their whole dinner. Whichbrings me to my favourite way to try a placeout. On a random night, slide into a seatat the bar, have two apps and a dessert,and leave with a good sense of what thekitchen's up to and with cash left in yourpocket.
• Keep your private life privateYou're lost in the food, lost in your
date's eyes — sometimes going out to
dinner can feel like a totally private, intimate experience. But it's not. You're inpublic.
I once waited at a restaurant's barwhen the two people next to me startedmaking out. Athletically. My friends arrivedand we landed at a table directly acrossfrom the lovebirds, with a fine view of thewildlife.
By the time our desserts got to us, thecouple had demonstrated the decency toshare one of the bar stools, but I don't thinkit was with the intention of freeing upspace for other customers. The poor woman at the host's stand was so close to themthat I think she was worried about catchingsomething.
It's important to be respectful of otherpeople's space, because when you're in arestaurant, no matter how private it feels,you're always in someone else's space. Somy point is this please don't talk loudlyon your cellphone.
• Be a regular or be like oneSo there's a fantastic new Thai restau
rant that I've been going to so often thatthe servers and I address each other byname, chatting between courses whenbusiness is slow.
I decided, after many impressive meals,to finally try the pad Thai, which is oftenhorrid even at good Thai places.
But I got cold feet and asked for anopinion. Nhutti smiled, paused, and said,"Maybe there's something else you'd liketo try?" Just like that, disaster averted. It'sgood to have friends in the know. At a restaurant, your server is your friend in theknow.
I tend to be a little overeager to trustwhat they recommend ("Uh, you shouldhave the special, because chef is telling meto push it, and because it costs a ton ofmoney."), but the key is to chat with themand get a sense of the things they like andhow their tastes match with yours. Beinga regular helps because you can build a relationship over time, but even on your firstvisit you might get good advice.
Ask for their opinions, but more importantly, ask why they have those opinionsso you can figure out if you might havesomething in common. "You like mushyfood? I love mushy food."
• Go easy on criticismA customer who has a good meal tells,
on average, three people about it. News ofa bad one gets passed around like a cold.It's tough to run a restaurant, what withall the moving parts. Anyone can have abad day, so try to remember that underneath all good and bad restaurants thereare people working really hard just tryingto make a living.
It's rare that a place is actually cynical,that they're actually just trying to rip youoff. That said, it also sucks to be on the receiving end of someone else's bad day, andyou don't need to suffer silently. If something is a real problem, say something politely about it.
Most places will try to make things better if they can. Give them a chance to doso before you savage them on your blog.Please. Thank you.

Installing a rain barrel>> A small rain barrel is easily fitted to a downspout to collect rain water for use in the gardenPREPARE your garden for dry spells and reduce water consumption by fitting yourown rain barrel.
A small rain barrel won’t take up a lotof space and is easily fitted to a downspoutto collect rain water for use in the garden.Your local hardware store stocks a selection of small and medium rain barrels, butyou could also use a plastic dustbin, largeplastic container or drum, or sealed barrel,to serve the same purpose.
• The rain barrel needs to be situatedas close to a downpipe as possible.
Prepare a base with pea gravel if you
don’t have a solid area already in place.This barrel has a base accessory, but
you can easily mount a rain barrel on bricksto support and lift off the ground. Elevatethe rain barrel as high as possible for increased water pressure coming out of thetap.
Good to know: Raise a rain barrel off theground you can set it on breeze blocks,or build a wooden stand using treated timber.
Prepare the area so that it is level anduse a spirit level to check before settingeverything up. Once the rain barrel starts
to fill up with rain water, moving it will bedifficult.
• Position the barrel on the base andmake the necessary marks to fit a diverterpipe from the downspout to the barrel.
Ideally you want the diverter pipeabout 20cm down from the top of the barrel, but check the manufacturer’s recommended guidelines for installing the modelyou have.
• Use a junior hacksaw or finetoothedsaw to cut through the downpipe. You willremove a section of the pipe in order to fitthe diverter assembly.
If you were not supplied with a diverterassembly, or have zinc pipes, leave out thisstep.
• Remove the cut section of pipe and insert the diverter, using any adaptors thatare required.
• Using a suitably sized hole saw, drilla hole in the side of the rain barrel to fitthe adaptor pipe.
Be sure to use any washers supplied tocreate a watertight fit.
• Insert the section of pipe required tojoin the rain barrel into the socket.
Measure the length to the outlet on the
diverter, remove the pipe and cut to thecorrect length.
Some rain barrels are supplied withflexible pipes and it may not be necessaryto cut this down.
• Push the pipe firmly into the socket onthe diverter and then into the adaptor onthe rain barrel.
Now all that’s required is to wait untilit rains to test that everything is workingcorrectly.
Good to know: remove the connectorpipe from time to time to remove any debris from the filter.
Creating a drainage hole at the top ofthe barrel will enable overflow water to escape.
If you have zinc or square downspouts,drill a hole in the downspout that will allowyou to fit an adaptor and pipe to divert water from the downspout to a rain barrel.

20Energy-saving tips for homeownersDURING winter households use more
energy and resources trying to staywarm and often have to pay the as
sociated costs. However, there are waysthey can reduce their energy usage whilestill keeping the elements at bay.
This is according to Adrian Goslett, CEOof RE/MAX of Southern Africa, who saysessentially saving on energy usage is cutting down on electricity usage.
Goslett offers the following energysaving tips:
• Make sure that the home is prop-erly insulated
“If homeowners are spending money towarm up their homes, the last thing theyneed is for the heat to escape and be wasted. While windows that don’t close properly are a potential problem that should beaddressed, because warm air rises, a largeportion of the heat escapes through theceiling. About 50 per cent to 80 per centof the home’s heat will dissipate throughapoorlyinsulatedceiling.Properinsulation
in the ceiling can reduce heat loss to justthree per cent,” says Goslett.Ceiling insulation should be the only insulation requiredhowever, it is vital to check whether thereare other areas in the home that may require attention.
• Use the sunThe sun is a great source of free heat
andshouldbetheprimaryfocusoftemperature control in the home throughout theyear.
Keeping curtains open during the daycan bring a lot of heat into the home andit doesn’t cost a cent. Closing curtains orblinds when the sun goes down will assistin keeping the heat inside.
• Geyser regulationThere is nothing better than a hot
shower or bath during winter, but the geyser is the most energyhungry appliance ina home. The geyser is responsible for approximately 40 percent of a home’smonthly electricity usage.
Goslett says a simple but highly effec
tive way of saving on costs is by turning thegeyser off during the day when it is notneeded. “The geyser can be switched on forcertain hours each day to allow for it to beheated when necessary. Adding a geyserblanket will also help the geyser to retainthe heat of the water for far longer so lessheating time is required. If the homeowneris prepared to invest in an automated thermostat, this could also reduce costs by digitally regulating the temperature and controlling how long the geyser stays on for.”
Alternative methods of heating watercan be explored such as the installation ofsolar panelling; however, again this maymean an initial outlay but will save a lotof money over the long term.
• Only heat the rooms in useA lot of energy is wasted on heating
areas in the home that are not in use, suchas guest rooms. “Close doors to rooms thatare not in use and redirect the heat andflow of the air to the regions of the homethat require it.”
• Add an extra layerPossibly the easiest way to stay warm
without adding any expense or energy usage is by adding an extra layer of clothing.Instead of pulling out the heater or adjusting the home’s heating, why not put on awinter jersey and winter socks. A rug willadd insulation to the floor and colourfulthrow blankets on the couch will help keephomeowners warm while adding to theirdécor. Also consider investing in winterbedding such as winter sheets and a comforter for the bed.
• Energy-efficient light bulbsMost homeowners may have already
changed the light bulbs in their houses tocompact florescent light bulbs (CFL) orlightemitting diodes (LED) light bulbs ifnot, then now is time to do it.
Either of these options can reduce costsas they use at least 75 per cent less energythan the traditional incandescent bulband can last longer. “Certain energyefficient light bulbs have been known to last
as long as 35 times longer than a regularbulb,” says Goslett.
While the energyefficient bulbs omitthe same amount of light as a regular bulb,they use less wattage to do so, whichmeans they don’t get hot and can stay onfor longer periods. For this reason, they areparticularly effective in areas where lightsare kept on for longer than three hours.
• Add moisture to the airDuring winter the air inside a home can
often become dry. Moist air not only feelswarmer but also retains heat far better aswell. “Adding a humidifier to a room canhelp the occupants feel warmer. A collection of house plants is also another way ofincreasing a home’s humidity, without using any energy.”
The rising cost of electricity and worldwide depletion of resources has mademany more homeowners conscious of energy efficiency. Following these energysaving tips can assist homeowners in curbing their monthly winter costs.

Kill mould naturally, safelyOVER the years I have found three natural in-gredients that kill mould — tea tree oil (an es-sential oil found in most health food stores),grapefruit seed extract and vinegar. There areprosandconsof each, but all threework.Vine-gar is by far the cheapest. Tea tree oil is expen-
sive, but it is a broad spectrum fungicide andseems to kill all the mould families it contacts.The problem is that it has a very strong smell,but that dissipates in a few days. Grapefruitseedextract isalsoexpensive,buthasnosmell.
Spirit vinegar is a mainstay of the old folkrecipesforcleaning,andwithgoodreason.Thestrength of vinegar is that it kills bacteria,mould and germs.
Numerous studies to show that a straight 5percent solution of vinegar – the kind you canbuyinthesupermarket-kills99percentofbac-teria, 82 percent of moulds, and 80 per cent ofgerms (viruses) and it seems to be commonknowledge in the industry that vinegar is pow-erfully antibacterial.
Just like antibiotics, common disinfectantsfound in household sprays may contribute todrug resistantbacteria, according to research-ers. Furthermore, research shows that manycommercial disinfectants are ineffective to be-gin with, just like antibiotics.
Keepa clean spraybottle filledwith straightfive per cent vinegar in your kitchen near yourcutting board, and in your bathroom, and usethem for cleaning.
I often spray the vinegar on our cuttingboard before going to bed at night, and don’teven rinse, but let it set overnight. The smell ofvinegar dissipates within a few hours. Spiritvinegar is also great for cleaning the toilet rim.Just spray it on and wipe off.
Useone teaspoonof essential oil to twocupsof water in a spray bottle (make sure to avoideyes). A grapefruit seed extract spray can bemade by adding 20 drops of extract to a quartof water..- Anne Bond - www.care2.com

22Home buyers - watch for these defects>> It is worthwhile for a buyer to inspect the home themselves for hardtodetect defects
WHILE aesthetic appeal oftendrives a homebuyer’s decisionthere is more to buying a home
than meets the eye. This is according toAdrian Goslett, CEO of RE/MAX of Southern Africa, who says whether the potentialbuyer is a seasoned property investor orsomeone entering the property market forthe first time, the principles of purchasinga home are the same.
He says it is important that buyers viewpurchasing a home as a large investmentthat could have a remarkable impact ontheir financial wellbeing over the longterm. “Although the outward appearanceof a home is an important aspect, buyerswill need to make sure the structural components of the home are in order to avoida negative impact on their investment inthe future. Having to correct serious structuraldefectswillonlyeatintotheprofitpotential of the property.”
Goslett notes that while the ConsumerProtection Act (CPA) does offer some protection to buyers, focusing on the consumer’s right to be fully informed regarding thehome they are purchasing, it is worthwhilefor a buyer to inspect the home themselvesfor hardtodetect defects, which mayhave been overlooked by the seller.
He says it is reasonable that the sellermay have not known of a particular defectprior to the sale of their property andtherefore not disclosed it in the sale agreement.
“In this context it is vital for a buyer toinspect the home for defects themselvesor professionally to ensure that they are
making a fully informed purchasing decision.”
Goslett provides buyers with potentialdefects to look out for.Foundation walls that are
crackedIt may not always be easy to spot
cracks, particularly if they have been plastered over and repainted.
In some cases the cracks could be oflittle significance, while in others it couldbe a massive structural defect that cancost thousands to correct.
The crack could be an indication thatthe foundation or ground under the homehas shifted and the shift will cause thecrack to move along a horizontal plane,which is of more concern than a verticalcrack.
The width of the crack will help to determine the severity of the problem.
The crux is whether the wall cancontinue to provide support to the structure or whether it needs to be completelyreplaced.Foundation drainageAside from mould or rot developing,
persistent water intrusion can compromise the structure of the foundation andbe an expensive problem to rectify.
Water drainage around the exterior ofthe home needs to be effective to avoidwater pooling or damp problems in thelow lying areas of the property.
Goslett says all drainage systems mustbe properly graded to better channel wateraway from the home and foundation.
When checking the home, buyersshould pay particular attention to watercontrol elements such as gutters ensuringthattheyarewellmaintainedandinworking order.
The end piece of a gutter is the knownastheshoe.Oftenadownpipehasabrokenor missing shoe, which causes erosion inthe absence of a water channel and thepooling of rainwater resulting in risingdamp.Damaged roofWater damage on the ceiling often indi
cates a poorly maintained or damagedroof, says Goslett.
A damaged roof that is in need of repairshould not be ignored as it providesinadequate protection against theelementsandcancauseotherproblemsinside the home, possibly as serious asstructural damage.
Exposure to moisture will rot the wooden components inside the roof’s structure,which could lead to collapse.
If it is merely a matter of replacing broken or missing tiles it can be a relatively inexpensive exercise.Faulty electrical systemIt is compulsory that homeowners are
in possession of a valid Electrical Certificate of Compliance (ECOC), which will ensure that the electrical work and installations are safe and meet the required regulations of the South African NationalStandards.
However, it is still important for a buyerto double check that the wiring installations in the home match those on the certificate and that they have been maintained throughout the period stipulatedon the certificate.
An electrical certificate is only valid forsix months from date of issue, provided no
other work has been completed involvingthe electrical reticulation.
Amateur repairs completed by thehomeowner will not be covered and couldresult in a faulty electrical system.Problems with plumbingPlumbing problems are not always
easy to check as the defect may be underground.
Common plumbing defects include oldpiping materials or faulty fixtures.
Replacing a fixture will require a simplerepair, while replacing the entire plumbingsystem will require far more expensivemeasures. Buyers can look under the sinksfor pipes that are leaking or need repairs,but it is best to have the plumbing systeminspected by a professional.Inadequately ventilated homePoor ventilation can cause moisture
build up, which will result in problems withthe interior walls and other structural components.
Excess build up of moisture can alsocause potential health issues and allergicreactions.
According to Goslett, the installation ofextractor fans in bathrooms or small areaswith no windows can help prevent themoisturebuildupbecomingaseriousproblem.
If a home buyer is in doubt or is unableto perform the inspection themselves,they should get a trained, certifiedinspector who can assist them in the process and provide them with the tools tomake an informed buying decision, he says.

“We wish to share the decisions of the con-gresswithourconstituency.Weresolved inourapproach to the national development planandsaidthisdoesnothelpusaslabour.In2014,wewere told that our economywould be rightby now andmore jobs would have been creat-ed,but thishadnothappened.Therearesostillmanyunemployedpeopleandonlybigcompa-nies will benefit from this plan,” said Mbhele.
He said they disagree with e-tolling.“Road tolling does not help us. We pay for

autofeverQuestions you should ask your mechanic before a service
CAR issues, expensive repairs and ‘thosemechanicsthatrippedmeoff’arealwayshot conversation starters among vehicle
owners.Sowhat shouldyoubedoing toensureyourvehiclerepairsorregularservicesbecomehassle-free?
Les Mc Master, chairman of the Motor In-dustry Workshop Association (MIWA), saysyourbest lineofdefence is toasktherightques-tions from the get go.
“By asking the right questions and showingyouhaveanideaofwhatshouldbedonetoyourvehicle,youaresetting the tone fora frankcon-versation with your mechanic and getting agood pre-service idea of the state of your vehi-cle,” he says.
McMaster sayswhile there aremany ques-tions you could ask your mechanic, he recom-mends starting with these basics.
“Firstly, ask about your cam belt. Does thevehicle have a cam belt and if so, when was itlast changed? The cam belt synchronises therotation of the crankshaft and the camshaft(s)sothat theengine'svalvesopenandcloseat theproper timesduringeachcylinder's intakeandexhaust strokes. The lifespanof cambelts varydependingon themanufacturer. It is best to re-fer to your vehicle handbook for a guide onwhen the cam belt should be changed. “
“Next you should ask about the condition ofyour brake pads and at what limit they shouldbe changed. Brake pads should be replaced at70% of total ware to ensure the safety of thedriver. It’s also important that your mechanic
inspects the brake discs so ensure you suggestthat this is done.”
The third question you should be asking,saysMcMaster,iswhetheryourbrakefluidandradiator coolantneeds tobe changed. “It’s alsoimportant toaskhowoften this shouldbedoneand whether it was done at your last service.”
Personal safety is obviously a concern formost drivers, so asking about the state of theairbags, seatbelts and ABS is also a must. “Alight appearing on your dashboard is not aguarantee that the ABS is working correctly.ABS (anti-lock braking system) allows thewheels on your vehicle to maintain tractionwith the road surface, preventing the wheelsfrom locking up and avoiding uncontrolledskidding. Your mechanic will be able to checkthatthesystemisworkingcorrectlyandtheair-bags are programmed to deploy in the event ofa collision.”
McMaster says the last questionyou shouldbe asking is for the mechanic to contact youwithaquote,shouldhefindanyotherworkthatneeds tobedone.“Thequoteshould includeanapproximate cost for the parts and labour. Re-member that preventative maintenancethroughearlydetectioncanprovemorecostef-fective in the long term.”
“Don’t beafraid toaskquestionsandexpectcomprehensive answers from yourmechanic.Make sure that your mechanic is accreditedwith an industry body such asMIWA to ensureyou have access to recourse should the serviceyoureceivenotbeup toscratch,”heconcludes.

Speaking at the launch, GlennCrompton, vice president of market-ing, said: “The Etios delivers exactly
what customers want – car-like effi-ciency and typical crossover stylingtraits at an affordable price. It marksour entry into yet another category inthe diverse and fast growing sub-Bsegment of the car market.”
The Etios Cross allows buyers totap into the tough image of an SUVwithout incurring the cost. With the
focus firmly on practicality and effi-ciency, the Cross is user-friendly,while possessing the added robustappeal of a crossover.
LikeitsbrothersintheEtiosfamily,the Cross has a 1,5-litre, quad-valve,four-cylinder, 66kW engine pushingout132Nmof torqueanda five-speedmanual gearbox.

AS part of its expanding footprint in SouthAfrica, Mitsubishi Motors is gearing up forthe debut of the allnew Mitsubishi Miragein August 2014.
Poised to take the fight to competitorsin the budget and youthfocused Asegment, this stylish entrylevel 5door Japanese hatchback prides itself on providingfuel efficient, enjoyable motoring coupledwith youthful appeal.
The Mirage range will consist of three
models, all with compact proportions hiding a surprisingly spacious vehicle which isan ideal everyday runaround.
“Mitsubishi is renowned all over theworld as one of Japan’s foremost automotive brands and we are on a resurgence inthe South African market,” commentedWynand Pretorius, general manager atMitsubishi Motors South Africa.
“The Mirage is a fun little car which received an extremely positive response
when it was exhibited at last year’s Johannesburg International Motor Show.
In these everincreasingly difficult economic times, it makes all the sense in theworld to introduce our new supermini,which will be very competitively priced.”
The Mirage is targeted at a market inwhich purchase price, fuel efficiency andcost of ownership play vital roles in the decisionmaking process.
All new Mirage derivatives will be powered by Mitsubishi’s 1.2litre, 3cylinderMIVEC DOHC petrol engine, mated to afivespeed manual transmission.
“The vehicle will easily keep up with thehustle and bustle of busy city streets aswell as the open roads so characteristic ofSouth Africa,” explained Pretorius.
“The Mirage is also exceptionally fuelefficient thanks to MIVEC – Mitsubishi Innovative Valvetiming Electronic Control.”
Averagefueleconomyonthecombinedcycle is just 4.9litres per 100 km, allowingthe Mirage to punch above its weight on
the fuel efficiency front. In fact, it is acclaimed as the most fuelefficient nonhybrid petrol vehicle available in the UnitedStates.
Impressive too is that the Mirage is fitted with creature comforts like keyless entry and a full complement of safety equipment including ABS, EBD and dual airbagsas standard.
All this packaged in afunkylooking body de
signed aroundMitsubishi’s Rise(Reinforced Impact Safety Evolution) impactabsorbing chassis structure.
The new Mitsubishi Mirage will bebacked by Mitsubishi Motors’s comprehensive threeyear/1 00 000 km warranty.
The interior boasts a sleek dashboard with pianoblack metallic finishes.

The Sharks have jetted off to NewZealandtotakeonthemightyCrusad-ers in Christchurch, whilst the othersemi is an all Australian affair be-tween Waratahs and Brumbies inSydney.
Can lightning strike twice and theSharks beat Crusaders at homeagain.Let'shopeso,andwith15play-ers for 80 minutes this time.
Sharks will not have it as easy upfront as last weekend, but could stillend up controlling the set phases, es-pecially line-outs.
They must not kick possessionaway aimlessly, but good tactical
kicking, keeping Crusaders in theirown half, is fine. Discipline is impor-tant as was shown last week, givingawayveryfewpenalties,anddefinite-ly not in kickable positions.
Notlosingtheballinthetacklesitu-ation and winning turnovers are im-portant if the Sharks are to win. Thewhole of SA is behindSharks - go andmake us proud.
Waratahs have been superbthroughout the year and should beatBrumbies, but derby games andsemi-finals are different matters.
However, I believeWaratahs havetoomany guns andwill go through tothe final - hopefully against Sharks.Kickoffsareat9:35amand11:40am.
Rory Mc Ilroy won the BritishOpen, and has joined the elite groupof Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods inwinning three of the four majors.
The best SA player was CharlSchwartzel in seventh, six shots be-hind Rory. Despite a determined fin-ish, SergioGarcia could onlymanagesecond, two shots behind.
In cricket, the Proteas have per-formed extremely well in Sri Lanka,winning the50overs series2-1.Theyalso got off to a great start bywinningthe first of two test matches by 153runs.
Thenext test starts on24July, andif SA win, they will be the top rankedtest side in the world.
Well done to all, and especially toHashim Amla as the new Testcaptain.
This Saturday we see the premierstaying event in the country run atGreyville racecourse, namely theGold Cup over 3200m at 4:20pm.
I takeWild One to win, from Alex-ander, Hot Ticket and Wavin Flag.
Happy punting.
