THE community of Copesvillehas blamed unemploymentand poverty in the area as one
of the main reasons why some localsresort to selling illegal drugs.
Theresidents told this to theMar-itzburg Fever after members of theSouthAfricanPoliceServices(SAPS),Pietermaritzburg and ProvincialCrime Intelligence Units, the Pieter-maritzburg Cluster Drug Team andHawks, supported by the Pietermar-itzburg K9 and TRT, conducted astingoperationwhichtargetedawellknown drug dealer in the area.
Six people were arrested for drugdealing, and dagga to an estimated
street value of R300 000, believed tohavecomefromLesotho,wasconfis-cated.
“These people are only trying tomake a living. They are selling thesedrugs to fend for their families. Theyare not killing anyone. There are nojobs available so what can we do inthese economic conditions? The po-lice are quick to arrest people whoare trying to make a living by sellingthese drugs but are lenient when itcomes to arresting murderers in ourcommunities,” said one communitymember.
The unemployment rate in thecountry rose to 25% in the first quar-ter of this year, from 24% in the lastquarter of 2012.
On10July2013MaritzburgFever
ran a story which highlighted theplight of the poor in the city. The arti-cle statedthatarecordhigh4371Un-employment Insurance Fund (UIF)claims were recorded in this yearMarch at the local Department of La-bour office in Langalibalele Street.TheseUIFstatisticswerePietermar-itzburg’s highest since April 2007.Pietermaritzburg was also the sec-ondcitywiththehighestUIFapplica-tions forMarch thisyearand thesec-ondandthirdhighestnumbersofap-plications were also recorded inJanuary and February, with 2875and 2716 applications respectively.
In a police statement about theCopesville drug bust, provincialcommander Lieutenant GeneralMammonye Ngobeni said that drug
dealers should be aware that theycould be arrested at any time.“Copesvilleisoneoftheareasthatweare focusing on and we want to as-sure the community that despite thechallengesweexperienceinvestigat-ingdrugcases,wewillnot loosenourgripondrugdealers intheprovince,”he said.
KZN Department of CommunitySafety and Liaison spokesperson,Kwanele Ncalane, also gave a sternwarning to residents who use drugdealing as an excuse for alleviatingpoverty in communities.
“These people will face the fullmight of the law. The police did agreat job arresting the people whowere selling dagga. There is no ex-cuseforpeopletoresorttosellingille-
galdrugsbecause theysaytheywantto put something on the table. Whatthey are doing is against the law.Communities should rather look atlegal empowerment programmes toalleviate poverty,” said Ncalane.
InJune thisyear, theKZNDepart-ment of Finance MEC Ina Cronjé,former KZN Premier, Dr ZweliMkhizeanduMgungundlovuDistrictMunicipalities launched a multi–stakeholdercampaignagainstsocialills, such as drug and substanceabuse, in the Pietermaritzburgnorthern areas.

City fountains restored>> Furniture has also been added so thatresidents can relax near the fountains
NICOLE JOHN>>[email protected]
CHURCH Street has receiveda much needed revampcourtesy of the Pietermar-
itzburg Urban Renewal Project(PURP).
The fountains, built in 1989,lay dry and neglected for close toa year but have now been re-paired and restored back to glory.
On 17 October, 2012, Maritz-burgFeverreportedthatthefoun-tains were dilapidated and beingused by people as rubbish bins astheywerefilledwithfoodandoth-er litter. The covers available toprotect the fountains were tornand unclipped from the sides.
At that stage, Msunduzi Mu-nicipalspokespersonBrianZumatold theMaritzburgFever that thefountains were not a priority butwould be addressed under thePURP, where general mainte-nanceofall infrastructureswouldbe addressed.
Less than a year after this re-port the city centre has been revi-talized.Onarecentvisit toChurchStreet, the Maritzburg Fever not-ed that the streets were litter free,the fountains were fully opera-tionalandtherehadbeennewad-ditions of furniture along thestreet.
Thebenches,chairsandtablessituated between the two foun-tains were used by the publicwhile they waited to enter thebank or took a break from theirshopping.

BARELYweekssince theMsundu-zi Municipality unveiled its twonew cremators at the MountainRise crematorium, there has al-ready been a malfunction.
At a recent Executive Commit-tee (Exco) meeting, communityservices portfolio committeechairperson, Manilal Inderjit,said that after the first cremationtook place, the door of the crema-tor would not open.
“About 45 minutes after thecremation, therewasapowerfail-ure and the door jammed, howev-er the body was completely cre-matedbythen.Within30minutes,the door was opened and the cre-mation process restarted. Theashes were then handed over tothe family and there were no is-sues thereafter,” said Inderjit
He added that he did notify themunicipal manager who said hewould attend to the matter.
“I thenspoketotheservicepro-vider [SA Incinerator Company(Pty) Ltd]who indicated that therewas a little blockage in the chim-ney and to prevent a repetition ofthis,hewould likeacompleteshutdown in order to investigate the
entire process. The municipalmanagerisgivingthishisundivid-ed attention,” said Inderjit.
He said that the cause of themalfunction could have been thegenerator at the crematorium oran electrical fault.
“Three hours after that we hada major outage in Northdale sothere could have been a link but itneeds to be investigated,” he said.
For years, technical glitcheshave forced grieving families tocremate loved ones in Durban asan alternative. The two new cre-matorsweremeant toendthecre-matorium crisis.
Deputy municipal manager forinfrastructureservicesThokozaniMasekoconfirmedthattheserviceproviderswereonsite conductingtests.
“Theywill giveusareportafterthat has been concluded,” he said.
Mayor Chris Ndlela said: “Wehave to move swiftly in dealingwith all the challenges. Therewere remarks on a lighter note oftesting whether it works or not. Itwouldhavedoneus justice tokeepitburning for justanhour,withouta body being burnt, just to checkwhether itwasworkingornot.Weshould take notice of that as partof our teething problems.”

NAVIGATING through the backloggedtraffic in West Street, in the vicinity ofChurch Street, is becoming quite a chal-
lenge for drivers.This is particularly a problem during rush
hour periods, reported Safe City.The area on the corners of West and Church
Streets is problematic due to a number of rea-sons,mostspecifically thenumberof liquorout-lets in close proximity to each other.
Drivers have often complained about carsparked in the lanes in this area, forcing trafficto a single lane and causing an increased back-logwhich takes themlonger toget to theirdesti-nations.
Drivers are often forced to make dangerousovertaking decisions in their efforts to get pastthe chaos.
One driver said that she had witnessed threecarsparkedintheleft laneonaFridayafternoonas she was coming home from work. She saidshehadnoticed that thedriversandpassengerswere standing around the cars, smoking anddrinking beer while having a braai.
The sense of lawlessness of these vehicles,which include taxis, the general public as well
as some municipal, government and other lawenforcement vehicles, double parking has driv-en Safe City to appeal to law enforcement to in-tervene.
Safe City’s general manager, LucasHoltzhausen, said that not only is the traffic anissueinthatarea,theyhavepickedupotherinci-dents as well.
Holtzhausen said that fighting, robberiesand possession of dangerous weapons are highon the list of reported incidents.
“Drunkenpatrons fromliquoroutletswill of-tenbecome involved inpavementbrawlsdue toinsignificant differences. They will steal theirdrinking partner’s cell phones and other valua-
bles, often using violence to achieve theirmeans. Innocent passerby’s are also targeted,”he said.
Headdedthat themainbylawinfringementsare double parking or parking facing oncomingtraffic, which occurs in the evenings.
“The main time incidents are caught and re-ported is in the evenings, from 6pm onwards,”he said.
Holtzhausen reported that during the weekof 7 to 13 August, 121 incidents were caught onthe Safe City CCTV network; 38 of which re-quired police response. He said that 12 arrestsweremade:fourbusinessburglaries,threetheftout of motor vehicles, three robberies, one theft
and one assault.When asked what the action plan was to ad-
dress these problems, Holtzhausen said thatSafe City will observe the area and will reportany criminal incidents detected to the police,and bylaw infringements to the Msunduzi Mu-nicipal Traffic or Security departments.
“I canhoweverconfirmthat theTrafficDept-ment has conducted a number of operations inthe area whereby vehicles contravening park-ing bylaws were impounded. The situation intheareaisalsobeenmonitoredbythePieterma-ritzburgCommunityPoliceForumwhodealsdi-rectlywiththelocalSAPSpertainingtoSAPSandcommunity involvement,” he said.
PHOTO: NICOLE JOHNOne of the main bylaw infringements is double parking in the lanes on West Street which causes increased traffic backlog during rush hour.

A GROUP of missionaries fromGlobal Outreach (GO) Churchin Virginia Beach, USA recent-
ly spent a couple weeks in South Afri-cavisitingorphanagesandpreachingaround the country.
Maritzburg Fever spoke to theleadersofthechurchduringtheirstayatAfricanEnterprise.GOChurchpas-tor, Dr Christopher Cunningham,said the church is a little over twoyearsoldandsomemembershaveal-ready made two trips to South Africa.
The first trip took place last yearwith less than ten people. This yearthe numbers have more than dou-bled,with23peoplevisitingthecoun-try, each raising their own funds forthe trip.
Cunningham said that the visits toSouth Africa began when ex–patriot,Shandre Harasty, approached himabout coming back to her homelandto help out the underprivileged.
“It has always been a dream ofmine to get resources back to South
Africabecause there isagreaterneedhere,” said Harasty.
Harasty and her family emigratedto the United States 14 years ago, butwere deeply involved in Christianministries while she lived in Pieter-maritzburg.Herparents,PreggieandOliveGounden,werepastorsatalocalchurch in Northdale before movingabroad.
She said that after the first trip toSouth Africa, they found a need tobring a medical team over to help outat the orphanages. Harasty’s sister,Dr Rene Gounden, bought four othermedical professionals with her andsetupaclinicat theWhiteCrossDisa-bled Hope Centre in Ashburton.
GO Church has since donated 5%of the offerings from their churchsince April 2011 to projects in South
Africa that they have identified andare working with, particularly thecentre which they now own.
Local pastor Eugene Reddiar tookthe group to the Mandela capture siteand the railway station for them topay their respects to two world icons,NelsonMandelaandMahathmaGan-dhi.
Cunningham said that it was im-portant for people to know that theyare not visiting South Africa becausethey feel they are better, but becauseGO Church believes that the countryhas a lot to offer the world.
“We want our primary message tobe that the world needs South Africa.It is important to recognise the spirit-ual warfare that your country hasbeen through. The world needs thisfrom South Africa,” he said.

“EVENifyouarefromasmalltown like Pietermaritz-burg, you can achieve
greatness in your life.”These were the words of Brian
Khoza (33) who has just released hisautobiography at the Ilawu Confer-ence Centre in the CBD. The Maritz-burg Fever met up with Khoza to findoutmoreabouthisdriveinlifeandthetwo women who play a profound rolein his autobiography, Born AlmostFree in South Africa.
“The book is basically about theimportant chapters of my life andwhat I had to go through to be whereIamtoday. Itwasnotaneasyroadbutperseverance and determinationkept me going against all odds.Throughout the highs and lows of mylife,thewomenwhoinspiredmewereBianca and Zanele. With this book Iwant them to know that I appreciateeverything that they have done forme,”saidKhoza,addingthathedidn’twant togiveout their surnames inor-der to protect their privacy.
“This was an exciting project.There are a lot of people who see meand think that I am a ‘born–free’, butthe truth is that I’mnot. Ihaveexperi-enced both the good and bad side ofSouth Africa. My experiences have
made me who I am today because Iunderstand the world better than Idid years ago,” said Khoza.
He said that his big break came in2008whenhestartedwriting featurestories and comment pieces for localnewspapers.
“I realized that I had a gift to reachmasses through words and I guessthat pushed and inspired me to pub-lish this book,” he said.

FEVER TALKING TOURISMDUMISANI MHLONGO: DIRECTOR OF THE MSUNDUZI PIETERMARITZBURG TOURISM ASSOCIATION
Tourism month fever about to hitDUMISANI MHLONGO
TOURISM Month is an annualcelebration held in Septemberto focus on the importance of
tourismto theeconomyofSouthAfri-ca.
This year, World Tourism Day (27September)hasadopted the themeof‘tourism and water: protecting ourcommon future’.
Water has become a critical ele-ment in the development of tourismglobally,andeffortsarebeingmadetoraise awareness of the impacts thattourism has on this scarce commodi-ty. Perhaps the largest impact is thefact that visitors often compete forwater with local communities, some-timestothedetrimentofhostcommu-nities.
Thisyear,MsunduziPietermaritz-burg Tourism will launch tourismmonth under the theme of ‘Support-ing City events’.
The Pietermaritzburg TourismMonth calendar was launched thisweek. This will contain all city eventsduring September on one piece of pa-perandwillassistorganiserswithex-posure of their events as the calendarwill enjoy a lot of marketing.
The United Nations World Tour-ism Organization (UNWTO) has been
actively advocating to position sportand mega–events in national tourismdevelopment strategies, and maxi-mize their potential as a driver ofgrowth and development.
The city has the same objective.The growing numbers and effects ofevents at both the local and regionallevels, the economic and social bene-fits for the city and the massive multi-media opportunities for brandingandpromotion,areamongthekeyar-eas of interest.
Pietermaritzburg is home to vari-ous big events and it has proved thatit can successfully pull these off – theComrades Marathon, Duzi CanoeMarathon, Art in the Park, the Man-delaDayMarathonandtheUCIWorldCycling event. The UCI MTB & TrialsWorld Championships are currentlytaking place at Cascades MTB Parkand were preceded by the UCI MTBMasters World Championships. Weare looking forward to a debrief andto understand its economic impactwhen it ends.
During Tourism Month, an inau-gural Mayoral Tourism Awards willtake place at the city hall where themayor will recognise individuals andestablishments for contributions to-wards the local tourism industry.Nominations are already open. The
official opening of the Tourism Hubwill also take place during tourismmonth as well.

FEVERMatthew Mckelvey, known as Bushy to many, visited Carter High School recently to tell his story of how he lost both his legs in separate motorbikeaccidents. After losing his left leg, he continued to ride motorbikes with aprosthetic leg and still races motorbikes at various race tracks around SouthAfrica. Then tragedy struck again. He was one of the three people riding inconvoy to the Tree of Lights ceremony when he was hit by an oncomingcar. He not only lost his right leg in this accident, but also a very dearfriend. His message to the Carter pupils was “if life throws a ball at you,throw it right back!” Bushy has broken numerous world records and inMarch next year, he will be riding from South Africa to Ireland in order toraise funds for people with disabilities. Pictured at the talk were (from left)Carter head girl Roseanne De Vos, Matthew ‘Bushy’ Mckelvey and head boyLungelo Zuma.

PHOTO: SUPPLIEDLast term, the Grade 5’s at Cowan House knitted squares to make a blanket. Ross Asherwood’s granny crocheted all the pieces together and transformed the squares into a blanket. The class are raffling the blanket to raise money for charity. The proceeds from the raffle will be used to buy equipment for a crèche in Sweetwaters. Some teachers in mainstream schools and colleges are using knitting to enable them to teach pupils with ADHD, as well as kinaesthetic pupils – those who need tofiddle or tap while they take in information. Knitting appears to occupy the brain sufficiently to lessenor stop hyperactive or disruptive behaviour whilst at the same time, enabling the pupil to take in information and to learn. Showing off the blanket are some of the Grade five pupils (from left) ConnorHoldsworth, Cayla Voigts, Nicolas Reece, Chloe Norton, Rex le Sueur and Ross Asherwood.

VEGETABLE gardening may not be asfrugal a strategy as you think it is. Justask William Alexander, the man who
wrote The $64 Tomato (Algonquin Books,2007) after going overboard on his own garden. He did the maths, and calculated thatit cost that much per tomato by the time hewas done “investing” in soil additives, plants,water, tomato cages, raised beds and more.But that doesn’t stop most of us.
The slow economy has prompted morepeople to garden. So what if they pay for theprivilege? You could argue that it is a fun andhealthy hobby and “saving” money is only anafterthought. Maybe so, but it’s nice to savemoney in the garden, too. Here’s how.
to new habitats, and are way cheaper thanbig plants. It’s not worth paying for the bigtomato plants that are often at the homeimprovement centres. They are costly, andthe little plants will catch up quickly onceit’s warm and sunny in your garden.Get plants for freeCheck your local gardening club for tradesand giveaways. Gardening enthusiasts arealways dividing plants and not knowingwhat to do with extras.Don’t fall for seedstarting kitsBy the time you add in the peat pots, starting soil, sun lamps and more, you’ll end uppaying extra for each tomato. Wait until latein the planting season and buy your plants
at discount through the local garden centre,hardware store, or at your local farmers’market,wheregrowersareincreasinglyadding plants.Shrink your lawnA smaller lawn means more space for flowers that you can cut and give away as gifts.It also means less space that eats up water,fertiliser and mowing time.Be lazyLeave pulled weeds and spent vegetableplants in the garden at the end of the summer. Turn them into the soil sometime during autumn.

How to save money in your garden
home & gardenhome & garden
CompostEven a little: throwing table scraps (not meat ordairy) into a bin in the corner of your garden willyield rich soil additives, so you won’t have to buybags of compost.Focus on exotic foodsDon’t waste your time and money growing basic tomatoes and peppers; they will be on sale at the grocery and farmers’ market right around the sametime your crop comes in. Instead, choose unusualvarieties that are always expensive: heirloom tomatoes, Italian peppers, white eggplant.Grow herbsThese are probably the most costeffective itemsyou can put in your garden. Grow basil and corianderfrom seed; they grow like weeds in many climates.One packet, sprinkled into a planter, will yieldenough little plants to keep you and your neighbours in salsa and pesto for a year.Invest in smaller big plantsLittle trees, shrubs and bushes adjust more easily

THE contemporary theme has previously been associatedwith living rooms, kitchens and bedrooms. Lately it hasbeen carried to the bathroom as well.
Contemporary bathroom designs are clean, fresh and havesleek lines, but are still welcoming.
Tocreateyourowncontemporarylookbathroom,you’llneedto pay special attention to fixtures, lighting, bathroom ware,colour and decoration.
“A main feature of contemporary bathrooms is straight andsimple lines. Whether it is the bathroom cabinets and vanityor other fittings, the designs need to be uncomplicated and simple,” says Liza Watermeyer, retail display coordinator at TileAfrica.
A contemporary bathroom design can easily be highlighted
through the use of bright lighting. Bright and crisp lights simplygive way to a sleek and fresh look.
Bath fixtures and fittings are known to play an importantrole in the look. Onepiece toilets, simple and sleek tubs,squaredoff taps and other accessories and fixtures in a combination of materials featuring metallic and subtle warm shadesare some popular elements of contemporary design.
The ideal colour scheme for a contemporary bathroomshould be a blend of neutral as well as bold colours. “Try thisyear’s colour of the year, emerald. It has been described as lively,radiant, lush and elegant,” says Watermeyer.
The most important aspects to remember are:• Using the right colours could even give your bathroom a spa
like feel.• Oversized and colourful artwork makes great focal points.• Keep the decor simple but make it stand out with elegance.

Heated rails a delight in winter
ly on colder days.“Heated towel rails are a luxury, but not as costly
as you may expect,” said Liza Watermeyer, retail display coordinator at Tile Africa.
Taking a prolonged bath or shower in winter is alsoassociated with steam that fills the bathroom.
“Steam creates a warm and humid environmentthat makes the bathroom a much more comfortableplace during those cold winter days, but steam alsocauses damp that can lead to mildew growth,” shesays.
Damp is especially rife in winter, and forms whensteam condensates on the walls and ceiling. Mildewis a type of fungi that grows on damp surfaces, andis caused by damp and humid conditions.

ADVERTORIAL
SO you’ve been trying to get rid of yourshapely potbelly for a while, but thedastardly thing just won’t budge. Per
haps you’re simply making one of these alltoo common dieting mistakes that guys areprone to fall for.1 Mansized mealsThe more you eat, the bigger the chancesof your weight going up. The most important watch–phrase is ‘portion size’. Ratherthan eating one humongously large plate offood once a day, go for more frequent, smaller portions.And, no, eating large portions of health foodisn’t going to help – a large portion is a largeportion. Gradually cut down on the amountsyou eat and you’ll find that your body willsoon get used to less. Also: stop having seconds and polishing off everyone else’s leftovers.2 Liquid dietA favourite dieting ploy of men replacingfood with a couple of pints of draught isflawed. Beer has calories, too. Plenty, in fact.To make matters worse, alcohol tends tolower your inhibitions making it easier to order a plate of greasy pub grub with that extra bottle of lager.3 Exercise is not enoughYou can’t keep on pigging out on mega–burgers and family–sized pizzas and expect
to remedy the problem with theodd extra gym session.4 Eating on the runMany guys think they’re so busyall day long, they can only fitin high–speed meals betweenmeetings and other more important bits of their lives. Butthe stress associated withsuch rapid–fire eatingsessions can contributeto weight gain. If you’realwaysinahurry,you’relesslikely to make healthyfood choices and it’s badfor your digestion.5 Skipping mealsThinking that missing out onmeals during the day will helpyou lose weight is a fallacy. Quitethe opposite is true: the practice tendsto slow down your metabolism and encourage your body to store fat, most of itin your belly.6 The weekend bingeAfter keeping on top of your diet all weeklong, you might be tempted to think youhave a free pass for an indulgent weekend, but this will only slow down yourefforts to shed weight. –health24.co.za
