According to Chris Fourie, Afri- Forum KZN provincial co- ordinator, the Amanzimtoti com- munity and the organisation is fed up with empty promises from the eThekwini Municipality to rectify the problem. AfriForum took water samples from a stream on Thursday 10 July after the eThekwini Munici- pality informed the Amanzimtoti community during the Toti Rivers Summit the day before that the pollution issue has been solved and action was taken against the guilty parties. But tenants at the Southgate Business Park allegedly again polluted the stream that flows into the Amanzimtoti Bird Sanctuary. “A member of the community sent AfriForum photos taken of the stream on Thursday 17 July.

SUCH was public interest in thehorrific case that not evenstanding roomwas available in
Scottburgh’s No 5 regional Court onMonday21JulyafternoonwhenMag-istrate Maboee sentenced 22-year-oldSizweThandoDlamini toa totalof47 years’ imprisonment. The gallerywas jammed with community mem-bers and the open spaces filled bypolice and court officials.
This followed the conviction ofDlaminionchargesofhousebreakingand kidnapping which were treatedby the court as one and on the sepa-rate charges of rape and murder. Inpractise, the time served will besignificantly lessas thesentenceswillrun concurrently.
The basis of the case was thatDlamini had broken into the victim’shome in Amandawe on the night of4/5 October 2013. The seven-year-old granddaughter was sharing aroom with her three-year-old sister.Whenthegrandmotherheardanoiseand investigated, she foundtheseven
yearoldmissing. Sixdays later, on11October, thechild’sbodywasfoundinthe local river. Subsequent investiga-tionshowed that shehadbeenraped.
InhissummingupMaboeequotedfrom case law when assessing theright balance between the executionof justice with the rights of the
defendant. In discussing the rape, heemphasised the court’s duty to en-force“therightto lifewhichissacred”and to protect the rights of women
and children to the sanctity of theirhomes.
All offencescarryprescribedmin-imumsentencesandMaboeepointedout that in the absence of abnormalcircumstances, latitude to imposelesser sentences are largely negated.
“I findthattherearenosubstantialand compelling circumstances andaccordinglypasstheprescribedmini-mum sentences,” he summed up.
These were 10 years on the com-bined housebreaking and kidnapcharges, a life sentence for the rapeand15yearsformurder.Thesentenc-es are concurrent and a senior policeofficertranslatedthatintoabout14or15 years assuming good behaviour.

Recommendations have beenmade to provide R6 955 100 in the2015/2016budget to construct anew
25-metre towerwithan increasedca-pacity of 100kl to serve the ever in-creasing demand of the Athlone parkarea.
Once the new tower is complete,the existing structure will be demol-ished.

EditorialcommentCar show setsthe barTHE Scottburgh Classic Car Showhas again shown a healthy increaseof some 16% in terms of feetthrough the gates and cars andbikes on stage. No doubt, there willbe those who are dismissive of thisachievement, but one can suggestthey would be wrong.
The Umdoni region itself doesnot carry much weight in the big-ger picture, but it has potential tobe more. What the show demon-strates is that what started as oneman’s dream has been elevated ina short time by him and his col-leagues to national status. Theygalvanised enthusiasm and compe-tence to a high level as exists any-where else. If we have the will, itcan be replicated on a wider scale.
As jy niks goeds het om tesê nie, hou liewer jou mondEK lees van die opmerkings opsommige van die Facebook blaaiewat gestig is om die gemeenskapvan Amanzimtoti op te hef en tedien en kan net my kop inongeloof skud.
Wat party mense dink wan-neer hulle van die goedkwytraak, gaan my verstand tebowe.
Dit is duidelik dat die gemeen-skap in verskillende groepe ver-deel is en dit is klaarblyklik poli-ties gemotiveer.
Die snedige opmerkings enpersoonlike aanvalle is verbyster-end.
Ongelukkig is kritiek sonderwerkbare voorstelle vir oploss-ings of verbeterings waardeloos.
Daarom stel niemand eintlikbelang in jou opinie as jy niepositief kan bydrae nie.
Gemeenskap van Amanzimtoti— maak julle harte en oë oop ensien wat om julle aangaan en
maak julle monde toe.Almal staan reg om te kritise-
er maar wanneer daar moueopgerol en gewerk word, is daarslegs enkeles en altyd dieselfdeswat altyd aanmeld vir diens.
‘n Goeie voorbeeld is RaadslidAndré Beetge wat soveel kritiekin die plaaslike media sowel asop sosiale media platforms verd-uur.
En sy enigste “oortreding?” Hygee om vir sy gemeenskap endoen daadwerkliks iets om ‘nverskil te maak. Hy kritiseer enpraat nie net nie – hy doen.
Vir jou wat so graag kritiseerwil ek sê — gee minder kritiek enmeer krediet.
As jy niks goeds het om te sênie, hou liewer jou mond.Onthou, wat jy van ander sê, sêmeer van jou karakter as vanhulle s’n.

Response to ‘Passing buck’ letterIWOULDliketorespondtothearticle printed in the Fever 18July headed “Passing ‘beach-front buck’”.
As a local living in a build-ing opposite the beachfrontwhere the action happens,mayIclarifysomethingforthecouncillors fromUmdoni’s in-land areas.
Nobody wants to depriveanypersonorpersonsof theirright to enjoy the beachfront.However, what we do want isfor the loud, thumping musicto be controlled.
Letmeexplain—themusicstarts at around3pmonaFri-day, it can go through to 3am,
that is an effective 12 hours ofthumping music. Then on aSaturday afternoon it willstart again at the same time,and after many calls to ourSAPS, it may stop by 1am or2am. Then it starts again onSunday afternoon and afterrepeated calls to the SAPS, itmay stop by 10pm.
As for our tourists whobring much-needed revenueintoour town, thereareblack,coloured, white and Indiantourists visiting our town inthis building. On departure,they all comment about theloud music coming from thebeachfront.
On a bad weekend we canhave up to 29 hours of loudmusic. Surely we have a rightto enjoy our weekends with-out thisproblem.TheSAPSdorespond and have some suc-cess, they do not however,have the support of our mu-nicipality to assist with thisproblem.
Ihope this responsewill beread as positive, thatwhatweneed is not another racialcomment,butasapointof try-ing to assist in controlling themusic every weekend.

Recycling makesgreat ‘cents’DID you know that South Africa ranks amongthe top six countries worldwide in terms of re-cycling rates for cans.
Harry the Hominid, Maropeng’s spokesho-minid, says that today the can is the most suc-cessfully recycled primary packaging in SouthAfricawith beverage cans now only contribut-ing less than one percent of litter.
Recycling makes great “cents” says Harry.Notonlyisitagreatwayofsavingrawmaterialsbut it also reduces theneed for landfill. Did youknow for example that the volume of all cansrecoveredduring thepast10years (thismeansthe space these saved cans take up) equals thevolume of major landfill sites designed to ac-commodate all the rubbish of amajor city overa 15-year period.
Harrysaysthatrecyclingalsocreatesmuch-needed jobs formany unemployed and under-employed entrepreneurs who operate as col-lectors.Ofthe40 000peopleearningorsupple-menting their incomeby collecting, about 80%have no other formal means of employment.
Collect-a-Can is the company responsible
for the collection of cans and tins for recyclingin South Africa. It urges all parents to teachtheir children:
• to recycle both food and beverage tins;• to encourage everyone in the family to do
this, including friends; and• start a collection point at a local school,
shopping centre or community hall.“Remember every can recycled not only
helps the environment, but also helps alleviatepoverty,” says Harry.

Next stop, Hollywood>> ‘I’ll be going back to America to study at the New York Film Academy’
LOCAL aspiring actressAngelique Janssen (18) fromAthlone Park, recently re-
turned from America with agrander perspective of theperforming industry and evenbigger dreams than before.
She attended the Applause Ris-ingTalentShowcase(Arts)inOrlan-do,U.S.afterbeingscoutedbyinter-national scouting agent KimMyersat a talent showcase atMonte Casi-no last year.
At the Arts, competing against400 hopefuls from around theworld, Angelique secured call-backs from Albany Talent in NewYork, TheNewYork FilmAcademyand Atlantic Records.
Sheoriginallyentered in theact-ing and modelling categories butdecided at the last minute to addsinging to her résumé in order toadd to her stage time and compli-ment her exposure in front of theagents.
“I only started singing threemonths ago therefore getting a callback from Atlantic Records was ahighlight for me.
“They are one of the largest re-cordingstudiosandrepresentwell-known names likeBrunoMarsandColdplay, therefore for me, it’s agreat honour,” she said.
The competitors did not onlycompete in competitions, but also
attended seminars andworkshopsby industry leaders. She felt partic-ularly inspired by James Pentaudifrom Albany Talent, New York.
“Jamesgaveadeeper insight in-to the industry and it was inspira-tional to hear things fromhis view-point. He shifted the paradigm thatthe industry is mainly cruel andheartlessandmademehopefulthatit can also be spiritual.”
According to her supportivemother Yvonne and sister Simoné,Angelique’s hardwork prior to andduring the competition paid off.
“During her preparation shedidn’t only focus on perfecting herperformances, she focused onthings like branding herself so thatshe demands attention. From herlook, to her business cards andportfolio, she offered a cohesivebrand,” Yvonne said.
If shedidn’t before, shedefinite-ly has her sights set on bright lightsof Hollywood now.
“I’ll be going back to Americanext year to study at the New YorkFilm Academy’s Los Angelesbranch,” Angelique said.
But for now, the young actresswho is also the reigning Miss KZNwilldedicatehertimetohonourhertitle and the charity work that goeswith it and also focus on finishingmatric.
Angelique would like to thankeveryone for their support and hercoaches for making this dreampossible.

Car show, aclassic in itself>> Show has become the region’s iconic eventSETON THOMPSON>>[email protected]
“SOME5 000 car lovers and interestedspectators viewed and reviewedabout 400 classic cars and motor-
cycles and related activities at ScottburghCountry Club on Sunday 20 July. This repre-sents about a 16% increase over the previous2013 record and emphasises how the Scott-burghClassicCarShow,nowinitsfifthyear,hassurged each year to become the region’s iconicevent across the country.
The town and region enjoys other massiveeventssuchasthetwo“2cs”—SaniandJoburg— and the Marine Expo, but the car show hasbeen born and bred here. What is more, likethem, it is well organised andmanaged and isacknowledged as among the largest and bestin the sub-continent, if not further.

What’s the point ofcomplaining?
THE Consumer Protection Act has given SAconsumers many rights and more powerswhen it comes to taking on suppliers over poorservicesordefectivegoods.Butwhenisitworthactually pursuing a complaint and is it betterthan going to court?
Consumer Goods and Services Ombuds-man, Advocate Neville Melville explains.
“Thenewcellphoneyou’vejustboughtstopsworking and the company refuses to replace itor the furniture you paid for was never deliv-ered.Inthepastyouwouldneededtogotocourtto get justice, but the Consumer Goods andServices Ombud (CG-SO)nowprovides a fo-rum to resolve com-plaints quickly and af-fordably.
“Dissatisfied cus-tomers can approachthe CGSO, which willinvestigate furtherand try to mediate asolution between allthe parties involved. If no agreement can bereached,aformalmediationtakesplace,wherethepartiesareinvitedtoputforwardtheircasesand amediator tries to facilitate amutually ac-ceptable settlement,” says Melville.
He says the size of financial losses is not theonly deciding factor that drives people to takea complaint further.
“We’ve had claims formillions of rands, butalso complaints about something as small as alitre of milk.”
Thebenefitsofseekingasolutionthroughanombud versus through the courts, is that con-sumers are likely to get faster resolution. Theaverage age of cases closed by the CGSO is 16days,while the average age of open cases is 74days.
“Thebest resultwehadwas fromaclothingretailer who agreed to a settlement within two
hours of the CGSO sending the complaintthrough,” says Melville.
Melville points out that evidence lies at theheart of informal dispute resolution.
“The type of evidence you would need tobuild your case would include till slip or proofof purchase, a high definition photo of the al-leged defect or copy of the brochure that thespecial was advertised in, for example.”
In another case, a jewellerwas consulted todetermine the cause of damages to a valuablenecklace and in other cases, items can be sentoff to the SouthAfricanBureau of Standards to
check whether goodsare up to standard.
“Factors thatwould not be consid-ered relevant duringmediation includehowmany other com-plaints the companyhas listed againstthem on websites,such as Hellopeter.”
The findings of theCGSOarenot binding oneither party, but if the issue is not resolved bythe ombudsman, parties are informed of theirright toapproachtheNationalConsumerCom-mission. Themajority of complaints, however,are resolved at the ombud level.
“While we cannot award damages, we canpersuadea supplier to do so, but if a cool-drinkbottle explodes and injures someone, as hasbeenreportedelsewhereintheworld,andtheywant R1 million, we would suggest they go tocourt.”
Thebenefitsof resolving the issueoutsideofcourt, however, are obvious.
“Mediationisfreeandlessintimidatingthanacourtoflaw,youdonotrequirelegalrepresen-tation, and you’re far more likely to come outwith a win-win solution.”

Among them have been a suggestionthat a flea market be established on thesouth bank of the Mpanbanyoni Riverbetween the railway bridge and the R102,at least until the area is included as part ofa more permanent project.
Another area of concern is the lack oframps for wheelchairs on pavements inScottburgh and Umzinto and a reduction inthe steepness of the ramp near the phar-macy in Scott Street, Scottburgh.
At Rocky Bay there is need for a rampas well as better lighting and at Penning-ton, the ramp down to the beach, whilefine as far as it goes, ends in a drop to thevarying sand level.
A third focus point are the toilets for thedisabled in all municipal halls, virtuallynone of which meet specifications.

and an immobiliser.In the Cross model, the interior
boasts a sleekdashboardwithpiano-black metallic finishes and chromedetailing around the air vents.
The masculine face of the EtiosCross is a result of the new grille de-sign that extends all theway into the bumpers,mimicking the appear-anceofbumperoverrid-ers. The chunky frontbumper is further en-hancedby oversized foglamps with integratedturn indicators and aribbed front scuff plate.Completing the frontend is a revised head-light cluster whichblends in with the newgrille.

oopsiesontheride,justtomakeitinter-esting. Distances of 40kms to 60kmswere covered on this training ride.
There were two different rides onSunday. One was held in the morningat the track by Lords and Legends,where the guys did a good few loops offast riding. The track seems to provequite punishing when done at somespeed. The second ride left Scottburghbeach at 3pm led by Phil Barker. Heshowed the Mambas all of the newtrack that has been cut at Renishaw. Itis nice, rough and quite challengingtracktoride.Hethendecidedtostretchthebravadoofthegroupandtookthemon some hair raising, dusty, rocky
switchbacks in the near dark. Thegroup finally got back to the beach at6pm,withadrenalinerushing throughtheir blood, and a few war wounds tobrag about.
The Roadies did a great ride to theBluff.Theyaveragedaspeedofaneasy27km/h. There was a steady climb upMarine Drive with the reward after-wards of the flight down to Tara Road.They stopped for coffee at the BPgarage on Tara Road before makingtheir way home. That seems like thewaytodoaSundaymorningrideright.
