THE recent increase in crime intheStangerManorareaprompt-ed a community meeting with
residents irate about the lack of stepsbeing taken to curb the problem.
The meeting was held to discuss away forward in order tomake the areasafe again.
In attendance was communitymembers, ward councillor MadhunSing, KwaDukuza Visible Policing(Vispol) commander Colonel Nene andother police representatives.
According to Sing criminals havebeen running amok in Stanger Manorin the past few months and residentsare complaining about the lack of re-sponse from the KwaDukuza SAPS.
Sing said in some cases the police“never pitched up” despite an incidentbeing reported.
“House burglary is on the increase.The ‘five minute gang’ that drivesaround in posh vehicles have brokeninto homes and stolen flat screen TVs,computers, cell phones, jewellery andother items in a short space of time. Itseems it is a well-organised syndicate
that is operating fast and furious.”Sing added despite private security
companies on the lookout for suspi-ciouspeople, these criminals are oper-ating under their nose.
It was established at the meetingthat a co-ordinatedeffort is required toclamp down on the crime in the area.
Among the residents’ demandswere cameras at entry and exit points,roadblocks and visible policing.
The KwaDukuza Crime PreventionUnit also came under fire as residentsbelieve they are not doing enough tofight crime and are hardly seen in theStanger Manor area.
An appeal wasmade to residents toassist in fighting crime by numberingtheir homes, leaving at least one lightswitched on at night, talking to neigh-boursandexchangingphonenumbersand reporting suspicious activities orpersons to the police.
Anotherconcernraisedat themeet-ing was the reluctance of police to in-vestigate homes containing stolengoods as identified by residents.
Residentsbelieve that “shoddyworkby the SAPS is letting criminals off thehook”.
Addressing the meeting ColonelNene told residents that he has onlybeen in the position as Vispol com-manderfortwoweeksandisstillgrap-pling with the challenges facing thecommunity and the police.
He urged the community to worktogether and said he would raise theconcerns fromresidentsat theirman-agement meeting.
He also took notes and case num-bers from residents to follow up andgive feedback.Sectorpolicing’sLieutenantBonam-
bi assured residents that the policestation will soon have its own finger-printsdepartmentwhichwouldassistto fast track cases.
He said currently fingerprints arehandledatprovinciallevelresultingindelaysandtriggeringfrustrationsfromcommunities.
He also promised that a direct tele-phone line will be instituted reachingtheclusterdepartment incaseofemer-gencies.
Singconcludedby thanking theoffi-cers for attending andpledged toworktogether with them to create a plan tokeep Stanger Manor safe.

“ESKOM was working on a similar solution for delivering coalto units five and six.
He said units three and four werenot affected.
“In all likelihood we have avertedplanned load shedding. However, loadshedding could still come into play atany time to reduce pressure on the gridduring the summer months.”
What is load shedding?When there is not enough electricity
available to meet the demand from allEskom customers, it could be necessaryto interrupt supply to certain areas. Thisis called load shedding. It is differentfrom a power outage that could occurfor several other reasons. It is a last resort to balance electricity supply anddemand. Eskom will only apply loadshedding when all other options havebeen exhausted.
If unbalances in the power are not
managed this could lead to the collapseof the entire power network. If this occurs, it could take more than a week torestore power. By rotating and shedding the load in a controlled manner,the system remains stable.Load shedding processEskom’s National Control Centre in
structs its distribution regional controlcentres, 126 municipalities and Eskom’skey industrial customers on the megawatts to be shed. Eskom and munici
palities execute these instructions byswitching off individual areas for predetermined times as per publishedschedules. The duration of load shedding will depend on the specific Eskomregion or on the municipality; based onlocal circumstances.
Eskomhaspublishedtheloadshedding schedules to enable customers tobe prepared in the event of load shedding.Help Eskom beat the peak by
following“4actions for 4hours”:1. Switch off your geysers, electric
heaters and pool pumps from 5pm to9pm every day
2. Switch off unnecessary appliances and lighting
3. Look at alternative heating solutions
4. Respond to the power alerts andpower bulletin updates
Interpreting Eskom loadsheddingstages:
Three schedules have now been developed based on the possibility of riskand to ensure that it is applied in a fairand equitable manner:
Stage 1 allows for up to 1000 MWof the national load to be shed.
Stage 2 allows for up to 2000 MWof the national load to be shed.
Stage 3 allows for up to 4000 MWof the national load to be shed.
Load shedding will be implemented in most instances in two hour blocks(with an additional 30 minutes forswitching between blocks) during theperiod 5am to 9:30pm.
You therefore may be without electricity for 2,5 hours.
Stage 1 requires the least amountof load shedding
Oncefortwohoursinatwodayperiod (either Monday, Wednesday andFriday or Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday schedule)
This stage is scheduled within themain load shedding period which isMondays to Saturdays between 5amand 9:30am.
Stage 2 will double the frequencyof Stage 1, which means you will bescheduled for load shedding every day,Monday to Saturday, between 5am and9:30pm
Stage 3 will double the frequencyof Stage 2, as well as covering the overnight period from 9:30pm to 5:30am,not covered by the other two stages.
FROM PAGE 1
This means youshould be scheduledthree times a day, midnight to midnight, Monday to Sunday.
If more load needsto be shed than hasbeen scheduled in Stages 1, 2 and 3, then National Control will instruct additional, unscheduled loadshedding. This meansyou may be shed outside of your scheduledtimes.
The actual stage inuse at the time will bedisplayed both on themain Eskom websiteand on the home pageof the load sheddingwebsite.

SCHOOLS opened in early January thisyear but messages of support are only flooding in now on radio and print,
and we seem to be only concentrating ongrade 12 pupils at what seems to be the 11thhour.
What does this say to us and what effect does it have on the pupils?
I was a matric pupil in 2008 and for themost of us, there is nothing more difficult.We used to be told that grade 11 was thetoughest grade and this resulted in thegrade being called matric 1 and grade 12,downgraded to matric 2.0. One does not
understand the “truth” behind the statement until one is overcome by the fear ofreceiving one's report card on Dday onlyto wait six hours and remain the last classin the whole school to get their results andfail.
Yup, I failed grade 11 with a mathematics mark of a staggering 18%, but insteadof being sent back to matric 1, I got parolein the form of “condoned” (the grey areabetween “pass” and “fail” and the epitomeof the standard of education in South Africa). Anyway, I got away with murder and“snuckinto”matric2onthebasisthatIwasdisadvantaged by the teachers’ strike of2007 that lasted six weeks.
I seriously sucked in maths and noamount of lastminute catchup programme would have likely saved my ass.Over the years, I have noticed how the focus of matric 2 has intensified and wondered if this is a good thing. First of all, I
found that the standard of grade 12 has“changed,” and not for the good, I think.
While I was terrible in maths, I was notsobadatscienceandusuallyenjoyedgoingretro on the science books I read. I noticedduringonevisitatthelibrarythatthebiology (life sciences) textbook prescribed forgrade 12 had about the same content asan older (by giveortake five years) prescribed book for grade 10.
If you look at the books for other subjectsyouwillalsonoticethistrend.Itseemsthat in an effort to increase the “pass rate”in grade 12, the government has not onlyturned “30%” to a pass, but it has madethings “easier” for matrics. That soundslike a conspiracy theory, I know, but if I amsomehow "neutralised" in the near future,please lookout for chalk marks and leatherjacket residue at the scene of the crime,#justSaying.
What I have noticed in my township are
the high schools’ obsessive attempts atgetting 100% passrates. My problem isthat extra classes are now being conducted all of a sudden where pupils are madeto attend “extra classes” on top of the twoextra hours added to the school day. Theseextra classes suddenly spur just a fewweeks before the final exams.
Are high school principals suddenlyshocked by the advent of “The Final Exams”, jolting them into rapid action to“catchup”? Why are we having Saturdayclasses only now as opposed to the eightmonths of school? Did we not know theexams were coming?
Being a parttime tutor for highschoolpupils, I am familiar with the frustration ofgrade 12 pupils scrambling for revisions anda plethora of “extra classes” they are beingforced to attend. In my own experience,many teachers are too lazy to keep up withthe (now reduced) science and maths syl
labi and these extra classes seem to be 11thhour efforts at covering for this.
The pupils are the victims. Right? No,some are just as lazy (I’ve been a super lazypupil myself, so I know). I have noticed howsome pupils have questions that shouldhave been answered by teachers, questionsthatleavemeasking“whathavetheybeen teaching you the whole year?” and“what have you been doing in class whilethe teacher was teaching you?”
It looks all doomandgloom right nowand I am yapping about a problem I haveno solution for. I do not know, perhapsreaders may have a few pointers.
Right now, I really hate seeing my sisterhaving to make arrangements to find accommodation closer to her school becausethey decided the grade 12 pupils need tohave extra classes from 4pm to 7pm, justtwo weeks before the beginning of the final exams.
‘No pressure’, my *ssSibusiso Biyela@astrosibs
WITH a new year soon upon us, many parents haveapplied to schools of their choice in the hope ofeducating their children. Yet every year there arethose who are faced with a letter of rejection.
The autonomy of our schools is crucial. It is alarge factor in the success of many of our schools.This includes the right to set their own admissionspolicy, among others. But when that autonomy isused to gatekeep or reserve space for certain
The law is very clear about schools denying access to a pupil based on discriminations set outin our Constitution. The National Education Actsays specifically of admissions: “The admissionpolicy of a public school and the administrationof admissions by an education department mustnot unfairly discriminate in any way against an applicant for admission.”
It is therefore disconcerting that some schoolsseem to routinely deny admission to pupils, whoin some cases live less than a kilometre from the
school to which they have applied, seemingly onthe grounds of race, religion and other spuriousclaims.
While, in these cases, there will be a followupwith the Department of Education, it is worth reminding ourselves of the inherent advantages ofdiversity in our schools.
It is therefore the duty of parents, school governing bodies and school authorities to activelystrive to provide a holistic and diverse school environment for our pupils.
Mbali Ntuli, MPLDA KZN Spokesperson on Education
Schools should encourage diversity
ALLOW me first of all to congratulate yourdepartment as well as the National PoliceCommissioner Riah Phiyega on the swift action by the members of the SAPS in the arrest of three suspects so soon after the unfortunate shooting incident.
This involving the African National Congress Member of Parliament JacksonNthembu on Sunday 19 October.
The arrests in question, effected within48 hours of this heinous act in Limpoponone the less, clearly demonstrates the ability of the SAPS to act swiftly in cases of violent crime.
This however, brings me to the reason forwriting this letter.
While the swift action in the case ofNthembu’s incident remains something tocelebrate and congratulate the SAPS on,
this swift action also highlights the commonly held belief that justice exists only forthe wealthy and well connected.
Surely the fact that these three suspectswere apprehended in Limpopo, hundreds ofkilometres away from the initial scene of thecrime in Witbank, would be an indicationthat the SAPS does in fact have the capacityand the will to solve crimes swiftly?
Why then does swift action such as thisonly appear to happen when the victim ofthe crime is someone famous, wealthy orwellconnected with the government?
I am sure the public would agree with mewhen I ask why swift action such as this appears nonexistent when a normal citizenfalls victim to violent crimes such as this?
TheprioritisationofcrimeinSouthAfricaseems to be purely geared towards those
who could further advance or protect theircareers and increase their favor in the rulingparty at the expense of the normal citizen,the same citizen you as a member of parliament should be serving.
I trust this letter will serve as a reminderof your position as a servant of the peopleand not a ruler, the same people who placedtheir trust in you to serve them to the bestof your abilities and place their interestabove that of your fellow members of Parliament and ruling party members.
This small little fact being something allministers seem to remember only whenvotes are needed.
I implore you and your department toplace the same emphasis on all violentcrimes and solve the cases with the samespeed as has been done in the case of yourfellow MP and ANC member.

services,” said DOCRRA chairmanLouis Luyt.
A resident said his research hadshown business was already downabout 30 to 40%.
When getting more points men todirect traffic throughout the day wassuggested, Traffic Department’sJohnny Moodley said they did nothave the manpower.
“Wehave approached theDepart-ment ofTransport, but areunlikely toget assistance,” said Moodley.
He added pointsmenwould prob-ablynotbeneededall day, justduringpeak hours. The traffic departmentalready have points men at the mostcongested four way stops near theLifestyle Centre for about six hours aday.
KwaDukuza Municipality (KDM)infrastrusture and technical’s coun-cillor Sandeep Oudram said the pub-licshouldnothavetopaymoreforser-vices that themunicipality is respon-sible for.
“Iwillbefast-trackingmeetingsonthematterwithmunicipal represent-atives so that we can come upwithsolutionsassoonaspossibleandkeep the public informed,” said Oud-ram.
KDM is to create a detailed plan
based on needs on the implementa-tion of points men-type for effectivetraffic control, he said.
Duke said working through the
night to finish the project had beenlooked into, but that itwouldnot savethat much time.“We will explore thematter further,” he said.
He said the four-way stops that re-placed the traffic circles are causingtraffic backup, but itwas the only op-tion toallow forwideningof the road.

THE Sathya Sai International Organisation will behosting their annual Global Akhanda Bhajans all overthe world on Saturday, 8 November, commencing at6pmandconcludingonSunday,9November,at6pm.
In KwaDukuza the event will be held at theGlenhills Multipurpose Centre from 6pm on Saturdayuntil 6pm on Sunday.
This is a 24hour, nonstop singing of the glory ofGod. It is a call for global unity and peace. It is a multifaith event.
If we calculate this event observed globally, wewill note that according to South African time, thisevent will start at 8am on Saturday in New Zealandand end in Hawaii at 8am, SA time, on Monday.
Throughout this time there will be nonstopbhajans and the light will be kept burning all overthe world within a rolling 24hour timeframethrough to Monday.
Khanda – means at a specific time.Akhanda (continuous) Bhajans involves constant
contemplation on God in the morning, evening andduring the night. It is constant contemplation on Godduring all the three states – the waking, dream anddeep sleep states.
The listener is equally impacted by the repetitionof God’s name as those who chant or sing.
Continuous singing of the glories of God is important for the purification of the atmosphere.
A collective activity and the power of collectiveprayer, especially being done globally, simultaneously are unfathomable.
It permeates every inch of the world with thepower of God’s name.
The constant thought of God leaves an impression on the mind and a consciousness of atmicawareness. God responds when prayers are madefrom the heart.
People all over the world read sacred books thattalk about various aspect of a culture or religion.
The cosmos or the universe is said to be the bestbook in the world, as it is the real teacher in life.
Whatever we learn must be applied to life. Theexperiences we have draws from the philosophies weread and therefore become our school. This schoolneeds to be kept clean and pure. Prayer, singing theglory of God, good thoughts and the common requirement for peace and love permeates the universeand therefore send back positive vibrations that werequire. This is called the power of attraction.
Music is a powerful medium that uses ether andsound. The bhajans or hymns that are sung permeatethe ether in the form of sound waves and fill the entire atmosphere. Thereby the whole environmentgets purified.
Breathing in this purified atmosphere, our heartsget purified.
Reciting the Lord’s name is a process of give andtake. Singing the Lord’s name should become an exercise in mutual sharing of joy and holiness.
It should be remembered that the sounds we produce reverberate in the atmosphere. They remainpermanently in the ether as waves and outlast theindividual uttering the sounds.
Knowing the power of music, let us all join in andcreate a global energy and vibration that will diminish the negative energies that exist in the world andmake the world a better place.

ThewinningsolutionwastheATeam’srevolutionary “Dream Machine” which would encourage bothshopping centres and the public at large to recycleusing a reward system, while providing opportunitiesfor employment and income generation.
The winning group received R3000 to be donatedto the small business development/entrepreneurship programme at a school of their choice, the only
condition being that the school needed to have anexisting small business development programmeand needed to be within the municipal boundariesof the iLembe District Municipality.

CHATSWORTH Cricket Club concededdefeat to hosts Ilembe after 14oversin a KwaZuluNatal Cricket UnionChallenge League game played at theCountry Club Ground on Sunday.
After the muchneeded rainthroughout Saturday, the visitorsmade the trip to KwaDukuza with justsix players in the hope of the match being abandoned due to a soaking outfield and a wet pitch.
But, the visitors were in for a rudeawakening after the umpires decidedto delay the start of the match by almost three hours and reduced thegameto31overs. Insteadofaskingtherest of their teammates to make theirway to KwaDukuza, Chatsworth tookthe gamble of contesting the gamewith just six players.
The hosts won the toss and electedto bat first. Openers Alveiro Nadasenand Steven Jacobs showed scant respect for the fragile Chatsworth attack, racing to the 50runs mark in justfive overs.
Nadasen smashed a “quickfire” 37runs which included five fours and a sixbefore offering a simple return catchto offspinner Sireshan Pillay.
Iqbal Sher, noted for his calypsostyle cricket raced to 29runs withthree fours and two towering sixes before being caught at long off by NeoPillay off the bowling of Stanton Govender in the 10th over.
Jacobs, who was voted batsman ofthe 2013/2014 season in the KZN Challenge League (Stream B) last season,scored an unbeaten 59 runs (which included eight fours and a six) just before the drinks break.
Jacobs hopes of notching up a century on Sunday was shattered afterthe Chatsworth outfit consulted theumpires during the drinks break andconceded defeat to the home team after 14 overs with Ilembe at 146/2.
While Ilembe were content to claimthe maximum points up for grabs itwas a poor showing of sportsmanshipby the Chatsworth lads and KZN Cricket Union need to impose a heavy fineupon them for bringing the game intodisrepute.
Meanwhile, Dawnheights hopes ofnotching up maximum points in theirmatch against East Coast in Phoenixon Sunday was dented after the umpires called off the game due to a wetpitch and soggy outfield.
