SAPPISaiccor (Pty)Ltdcontinuesto dispose its coal ash to localblockmakers in theUmkomaas
area.Theseblockmakersdonothaveawastemanagement licenceintermsof the National Environmental Man-agement: Waste Act (59 of 2008).
Chris Fourie, AfriForum KZN
provincial co-ordinator, said inSeptember2014,PeterMorris, SappiSaiccor general manager, confirmedin a meeting with AfriForum that allof Sappi’s coal ash was delivered toNPC Cement in Port Shepstone, andthat it no longer provided coal ash tothe local block makers.
“It is with disappointment thatAfriForum learnt of the decision bytheDepartmentofEnvironmentalAf-fairs (DEA) to grant a temporaryauthorisation for Sappi to supply ashto affiliates of the Umkomaas BlockMakers Association in November2014. The mandate of the DEA is to
protect the environment, not to vio-late the Waste Act,” said Fourie.
No regulation was issued by theDEA to confirm the decision to granta temporary authorisation for Sappito supplyash toblockmakers.Repre-sentativesofAfriForuminAmanzim-toti paida follow-upvisit to theblock-makers’ sites on 23 February andmostwere still contravening the con-ditions for reusing coal ash.

Sappie responds:
“Sappi takes note of themedia re-lease issuedbyAfriForumon25Feb-ruary. Sappi rejects in the strongestpossible terms the allegations madeby AfriForum. Sappi SaiccorMill willcontinue to work with government,the block makers and all interestedcommunitymembers toensure thatawastematerial isput topositiveuseinthe community in a sustainable andresponsible manner, creating em-ployment and sustainable liveli-hoods.
“Sappi has been in the process oftrying to formalise the supply of ashto local block-makers since 2011.
Various changes to the waste legisla-tion since then has complicated andprolonged this process but did notprevent it fromcontinuing.While thisprocess was progressing, a memberof the local community saw it fit dur-ing 2014 to bring the issue of ash be-ing supplied to local block-makers totheattentionof localmedia.Sappien-gaged with the concerned parties toenabletheprocesstocontinue.”—re-gional communications managerZelda Schwalbach.

THE Metro Police case against the Isipingo business family was withdrawn onWednesday before going to court saysone of the family members, ShelinaOutar.
Outarsaystheprosecutordecidedtowithdraw the case partly due to thecamera evidence posted online of theincident.
She said the family is elated at theoutcome.
“We thought the case was going tobe remanded again. We are elated atthe outcome and are now going forwardwith our case against Metro Police. Weare also now getting our bail moneyback from them, which we had to paywhen they charged us at the Metropolice station,” she said.

A CONCERNED Amanzimtoti resi-dent has reported to eThekwini onseveral occasions regarding sewagestreaming into theriveralongside thebridge on Riverside Road.
Hesayswhilethemunicipalityhadcorrectedtheproblemafterhereport-ed it, the correctionwas only a short-term solution.
“The problem occurs when pumpstation three trips.
“When this happens the sewageflows out of the manholes next to the
road.“eThekwini explained the reason
forthetrippingisthatthereissomuchclothing and plastic and other thingsfloating in the river. I drive to workthrough there every day and the sew-age streams over two to three times aweek,” he says.
If the trippingoccursatnight, sew-age can stream into the river for 12 to14 hours before it is stopped. Whenthe river breaks this sewage pollutesthe lagoons and the sea.
eThekwini Municipality was un-available for comment at the time ofgoing to press.

Tipper trucks unfairlycharged for overloading>> ‘I am a lawabiding citizen who complies withregulations. I do not intentionally overload my trucks’TANIA SANDBERG>>[email protected]
AMANZIMTOTI businessman IsshwarSingh says he is tired of defending hiscase in court regarding his tipper
trucks being charged for overloading due totechnicalities and is considering takingcounter legal action.
Singh says the problem arises when thesame volume of sand (ash, river sand,stones, blocks and bricks) is being loaded.It has a variable content influencing itsweight.
For example if pit sand is picked up a dayafter it has rained on a eightton truck withsix cubic metres, the sand is heavier, but thevolume required by his client is 6m3.
If he loads less the load will be short onceit dries. River sand is worse because it isdredged out of the water and loadedstraight onto trucks and at this stage it willweigh more.
Another problem is that the sand can
contain big rocks, causing a variable in theweight. Singh says his drivers are also oftenapproached for bribes and they know he hasa strict policy against paying bribes.
“I am a lawabiding citizen who complieswith regulations. I do not intentionally overload my trucks. In fact at a great expenseto my business, I have undertaken to avoidtransgressions and will continue to do so.
“To fine a trucker without consideringthe variables being considered is unjust andunfair. I implore the court to take up the matter with the relevant traffic enforcers witha view to alleviating this situation or reachsome kind of compromise or solution,” Singhsaid in an appeal to the court last Wednesday.
Singh suggested a loss of time being diverted to the weigh bridge, the wait periodto be attended to and the adjustment of theload or the removal of the excess materialis punishment enough.
“The fine could be utilised to make thevehicle more roadworthy and consequently
our roads safer,” he suggests.On Wednesday, the court significantly
reduced the fine charged, but Singh says amore permanent solution is needed.

Automatic parentalcontrol on TVmaddeningWHY is it that most of the movies and excellent series on DStv (albeit old ones), for instance Sopranos,have parental control automatically on when itcomes to swearing.
I am a big girl and get ticked off when conversations are littered with “bleep” every time someoneopens their mouth, on top of which there is a big“dot” over their mouth so you can’t actually lip readthe language. How stupid.
It is my right as an adult to choose when parentalcontrol should be activated on the movies and/orseries I choose to watch.
How dare the “agerestrictioncontrolTVviewing police” tell me what I can or can’t listen to.

Welfare of othersis her passion>> Her parents taught her to think of others more than herself
TANIA SANDBERG>>[email protected]
JENNYSmithhasmadethewel-fare of othersher life’s priority.
Smith had worked at Teco-ma Pre-Primary for 24 yearswhen she retired. In1979, after ashort break she joined Kings-burghChild andFamilyWelfare.
“I think I sat for nearly twoyears in meetings before I felt Icould voice any sort of opinion.The members seemed to haveinsight and good sense to headoff any big problem before it
came to a head,” Smithsays.
Today Smith leadsthe organisation.
“As the years progressed wemoved into the“cupboard”under thestairs in the Strelitzia Hall in WarnerBeach. We employed a part-timesocial worker. How she coped undersuch conditions I do not know. Weeven kept clothing and food in thetoilet.
“We had no funding from the mu-nicipalityandstilldonotreceivefund-ing from it. Clients were given foodvouchers for the local Spar as therewerenosupermarkets inthosedays.”
She says her parents taught her tothink of othersmore thanherself andshe passed this on to her children.
She says in the nineties theymoved into their current building,nexttotheKingsburghLibraryinHallStreet, Warner Beach.
Under Smith’s lead the organisa-tion has expanded its services to thepublic and besides assisting needyfamilies with food, the organisationsells clothing for resale to the less for-tunate, who use the income to feedtheir families. The organisatoin alsooffers many training courses.
SmithandherhusbandPete live inWarner Beach. They have a son anda daughter and two grandchildren.They enjoy travelling and a trip toVenice and a canal-boating trip inFrance is on her to-do list.
Smith also enjoys gardening andreading. One of her favourite authorsis Tony Park.
“He describes different countriesso well, it brings back happy memo-ries of my travels.”

Highland’s Gathering turns 51THIS year’s 51st Highland Gathering onKwaZuluNatal’s South Coast on 2 May,promises to be another success as theLifestyle Expo returns for its second year.

Fever diary Former Kingswayhead boy inspires>> ‘Some people don’t know what hard work is’
TANIA SANDBERG>>[email protected]
KINGSWAY High’s 2012 head boy, nowa motivational speaker, LiyandaNzimande addressed pupils last
week and talked about desire, fear anddreams.
“A wise man once told me ‘Life can beas simple or as complicated as you makeit. Do what you know is right. Avoid doingwhat you know is wrong and do whateverit is that you do to the best of your ability’.”
He said that some people don’t knowwhat hard work is.
“Youwanttoachievethosedistinctionsbut you are not prepared to put in the hardwork to achieve them. You are not willingto burn the midnight oil.”
Nzimande told of how he worked towards becoming head prefect in matricand the representative council of learnerschairman and achieving his goals by reminding himself of his goals and dreamsand believing it was possible, but by
achieving so much a downfall ensued.In his first year of university in Johan
nesburg his social life started taking over.He became infatuated with become a public figure. He however passed his first yearand his modules’ second year soon approached. Thinking he could continue thesame life he lived in first year he failed vitalmodules that led him to be excluded fromthe faculty of B.Com. Stressed and depressed he didn’t know what to do.
“I was faced with an ultimatum. At thatpoint in my life it became evident to methat the only guarantee in life is death andthe only constant is change.
“Standing at a cross road and you don’tknow which way to turn this is when youhave to trust in your gut feeling, a God ora super natural power. You have to believethat the dots in the future will connect before you even get to the future,” he says.
He warned pupils not to spend so muchtime with other people that they forgetwho they are.
“I dare you to spend some time alone.
I dare you to read a book. I dare you to studyyourself, to reinvent yourself and try betteryourself.
Nzimande has since enrolled to studymarketing and plans to open his own business this year.

Miljoene nodig virkindertoelae>> Minister wil kindertoelae tot ouderdom van 23 verleng
INDIEN Bathabile Dlamini, minis-ter van maatskaplike ontwikkel-ing, haar sin kry en die betaling
van kindertoelae tot die ouderdomvan 23 verleng, sal bykomendeR6 miljard tot R10,3 miljard virkindertoelae in die begroting inge-ruim moet word.
Só het Solidariteit HelpendeHandgesê op die vooraand van die nasion-ale begrotingsredewat deur diemin-ister van finansies Nhlanhla Nenegelewer is. Die organisasie het ge-waarsku dat so ’n besluit ondeurdagsal wees omdat dit ’n presedent souskepdatdiestaatvirgesondevolwas-senes moet sorg.
Dlamini het reeds verlede jaar
aangekondig dat die moontlikheidondersoek word om die afsnypunt teverhoog. Dit is nie duidelik wanneerdie planne inwerking gestel salwordindien dit goedgekeur word nie.
Nagenoeg 70% van die meer as15,9 miljoen Suid-Afrikaners wat in2013/14 vir toelae gekwalifiseer het,het die kindertoelaag ontvang. Vol-gens syfers wat Dlamini in Oktoberbekendgemaak het, is R39,6 miljardin die 2013/14-boekjaar aan kinder-toelae uitbetaal.
“In die 2013/14-belastingjaar isR310 miljard deur persoonlike ink-omstebelasting ingesamel. Die uit-breiding van dié toelaag aan personetotenmethul23steverjaardagsaldus
addisionele belastinglas ekwivalentaan sowat twee persent tot drie per-sent van die totale persoonlike ink-omstebelasting vir die jaar skep,” sêdr. Danie Brink, uitvoerende direk-teur van Helpende Hand.
“’nStaatwat symense leerom afhanklik te wees, bounie ’n volhoubare toe-koms nie,” sê Brink.
“Die huidige stelselwaarin belastingbetal-ers leeggemelk word,is ook nie volhoubaarnie. Die verhogingvan die ouderdom-sperk sal bykomendedruk op die belasting-
betaler plaas en nog belastinggeld in’n onvolhoubare stelsel verkwis.
“Onssougraagwousiendatdiere-gering die privaat sektor deur ’n ver-skeidenheid van stappe aan-moedigomwins temaak, tegroeienmenseindienstenee,” sê Brink.
Hysêhoeweldiere-gering die toelae reg-verdig deur aan te vo-erdatdit gelykheidenvolhoubare gemeen-skappe sal bevorder,het dit juis die teen-oorgestelde uitwerk-ing en lei dit net tot gro-ter afhanklikheid vandie staat. — Ver-skaf.

The new convertible is offered in fourspecifications — Advantage, Luxury Line,Sport Line and M Sport. Prices will be released closer to its official launch date onMarch 15.
Its powered fabric roof (black, silver orbrown) can open or close in 20 secondsat up to 50km/h so you don’t have to stoptraffic if rain suddenly looms. Luggage capacity has increased by 20 litres to 280with the top open and by 30 litres to 335with the top closed.

THE new Range Rover Evoque, sporting anew design and a host of the automaker’slatest technologies, will make its debut atthe 2015 Geneva auto show.
Land Rover SA says it could be in SouthAfrica by August 2015.
Land Rover design director and chiefcreative officer Gerry McGovern said: “TheRange Rover Evoque first established andthen dominated the luxury compact SUVsector generating worldwide acclaim andsales success. Our challenge has been toevolve the Evoque design without dilutingits distinctive character.”
The new Evoque’s trim levels have beenrealigned to match those of the RangeRover Sport — SE, HSE Dynamic and Autobiography, and a suite of option packs.
The new Evoque gains enlarged air intakes, new grille designs and is will be the
first Range Rover to be offered with adaptive LED headlights. The Evoque’s standardgrille is distinguished by two bold horizontal bars and a new finemesh pattern.
In South Africa, the new SUV will bepowered with a 2.2litre SD4 turbo dieselengine (paired with a ninespeed auto)and Land Rover’s 2.0litre Si4 turbo petrol.
With 177kW on tap, the Si4 petrol engine delivers strong performance, with acceleration from 0100km/h in just 7.6 seconds and a top speed of 217km/h. Fueleconomy is rated at 7.8 litres/100km and181g/km emissions.
Interior changes include new seats anddoor casings, 20cm touchscreen infotainment unit and the introduction of new colours and materials. Its handsfree powertailgate allows owners to automaticallyopen and close the boot by waving a foot
beneath the rear bumper.It’s equipped with Land Rover’s innova
tive AllTerrain Progress Control (ATPC),only available on Si4 derivatives, first seenon the Range Rover and Range RoverSport. The technology maintains a predetermined speed (selected using the cruisecontrol function) in forward or reversegears between 1.8km/h to 30km/h, allowing the driver to concentrate on negotiating tricky terrain.
Its autonomous emergency brakingprevents or greatly reduces the severity ofcrashes in the event of the driver failing totake preventative action. Using an advanced forwardfacing stereo digital camera, the system can identify potential hazards ahead.
Prices will be will be announced closerto the launch. — Wheels24.
