Card clonersNABBED

AMIL UMRAW

A POLICE swoop at theLiberty Midlands Mallnetted three men and a

woman accused of operating amassive card fraud syndicate.

Using duplicate South AfricanSocial Security Agency (Sassa)cards, the gang withdrewthousands of rands at the start ofevery month.

Police also seized R90 000 incash, and 90 duplicated cardsthat they were carrying.

Two Pietermaritzburg policeconstables took the alleged

fraudsters into custody after atip-off from mall security lastmonth.

CCTV footage showed thesuspects entering the mall andusing multiple Sassa cards at theATMs.

The alleged fraudsters weretargeting Absa and StandardBank ATMs, withdrawing largeamounts of cash from each card.

According to a police sourcewho could not be named, mallsecurity officers spotted twomenand four women using differentcards to withdraw money fromthe ATMs last month.

They notified police, but thegrouphadleft themallbythetimethey arrived.

Noting that the same groupappeared at the mall on the firstdayof everymonth,officers lay inwait and made the arrests onMonday.

“They told us they got thecards from owners who wereelderly and could not get to anATM, so they would do it on theirbehalf.

“However, they could notaccount for where the cardowners lived. That’s when weknewtheywerelying,”oneofficer

said.NinetySassacardswerefound

in their possession and two sumsof money, R59 820 and R39 660,were recovered.

A Sassa official was sent fromJohannesburg to investigate theaccountholder’sdetailsandopena case of fraud.

Hewould not comment on theincident.

According to PMB stationspokesperson Lieutenant JoeyJeevan, the suspects have beenarrested and will appear in thePietermaritzburg Magistrate’sCourt this week.

Crime and poverty a threat>> High crime levels continue to destabilise investment in the province

NOKULUNGA NGOBESE>>[email protected]

WHILE employment hasincreased from 2.1 millionin 2010 to 2.4 million in

2014 in KwaZulu-Natal, poverty,crime and social inequalityremain at the core of the province’sproblems.

Speaking at the State of theProvinceAddress (SOPA) at theRoyalShowgrounds on Friday, PremierSenzo Mchunu said poverty andinequality remain persistent, withthe percentage of people in theprovince living below the foodpoverty line of R318 per monthhavingrisenfrom25%in2010to28%in 2014.

He raised concerns about theescalating crime rate in the provincewhich impacts negatively oneconomic growth.

Mchunusaidthatasaresult,atotalof 130 police stations are currentlybeingevaluatedtoidentifychallengesand shortfalls so as to assistin improving policing in theprovince.

He said that government isconcerned about the escalation offarm murders and tension betweencommercial farmers and farmtenants or labourers.

“The province has seen anincrease over the last year in crimesrelated to murder, stock theft,attemptedmurder,assaultandarson.We therefore call for intensifiedaction from policing and criminaljustice structures to stem the tide ofsuch crime,” he said.

Mchunu called on the privatesector to join forces with thegovernment in order to be able togrow the economy.

Meanwhile leader of the DA in the

KZNLegislature, SizweMchunu, hascitedtheemploymentfiguresasbeingmisleading, as according to theircalculations unemployment hasincreased by 5.7% over the2013/2014 period.

“In line with provincial govern-ment’s2030vision,economicgrowthrate was lower than expected, socialinequality figures remained stagnantat 17% and consistently high crimelevels continue to destabilise andlimit investment in the province.

“Out of the unemploymentstatistics, the premier did notmake areference that they relate to 70% ofthe youth in our province.”

IFP MPL Blessed Gwala said thePremier did not touch on importantissues, saying that while a majorportion of the budget will be givento the education sector, it will notbe used to serve the needs of thepeople.

Residents fearthat thetruckstopwould leadto noise, traffic congestion, endangerpedestrian safety and cause their property todepreciate.

“Following a meeting between municipalofficials and the South African National RoadsAgency Limited (Sanral) eastern region, it wasagreedthatthedevelopmentofatruckstopnextto theHayfieldsKwikSpar isnot feasibleat thispoint, pending investigation.

THE National Freedom Party (NFP) has submitteda letter to the Minister of Justice and CorrectionalServices, Advocate Michael Masutha, requesting foramendments in the legislation so that South Africanyouth with criminal records can find employment.

NFP Youth Movement secretary general MariaBusi Tshabalala, said that with the high unemploy-ment rate facing the country, there is a need toexpunge criminal records of those who wereprosecuted for petty crimes.

“As the NFPYM, we are concerned about the levelsof unemployment in South Africa. We want thecriminal records of people aged between 18 to 35-years-old to be removed once they finish theirsentences. However, this will not be a blanketapproach. It will only apply to people who wereinvolved in petty crimes.

“As soon as they have served their sentence, theyshould be given another chance in life becausecriminal records hinder them from getting jobs for therest of their lives. Amendments to the legislationrequire deliberations by parliament,” said Tshabalala.

Latest unemployment statistics from Statistics

South Africa show that between the third quarter andfourth quarter of 2014, the number of unemployedpeople in the country stood at 4.909 million.

Tshabalala added “Companies have issues withpeople who have criminal records in general. Theyview them as trouble.”

She said that they are looking forward to receivingcorrespondence from the minister.

“We have written to him and we are waiting fora positive response so that we can present our case.We understand that he is a busy person but areconfident that he will get back to us within the next14 days,” said Tshabalala.

Call to expunge youth criminal records

comfortable to improve truck transportefficiencies and driver job satisfaction.

“Msunduzi Municipality expressesregret for the concerns and fears raised inthe community following recent mediareports that according to a municipaldocument,aproposedtruckstopistobebuiltin Hayfields, a residential suburb,”Mafumbatha said in a statement.

She further stated that Sewnarainwouldnever support a truck stop being built in aresidential area.

“Meanwhile, the Msunduzi Municipalitywill propose for additional staff in theupcoming financial year to enable 24-hourmonitoring of the area in order for thecouncil to enforce compliance among truckdrivers applying the applicable municipalby-laws,” stated Mafumbatha.

She said that the municipality willcontinue with plans to establish asuitable spot for a truck stop and thatthe final decision will be taken afterconsultations with relevant stakeholders.

HE popped the question, she said yes…andthey all lived happily ever after.

While getting married can be such anexciting time, it is important to rememberthat all your efforts should not be focusedon one spectacular day, but on a lifetime oflove and shared experiences.Before you get carried away on thewhirlwind of preparation that will consumeyou for the next few months, there are somevery important questions that you need toask in order to ensure that you are in aposition to make an informed decisionregarding your matrimonial regime.

In South Africa, you have a choice of twomatrimonial property systems that couldapply to your marriage:

1.Marriage in community of propertyIfyoudonotsignanantenuptialcontract

before your wedding, you will automaticallybe married in community of property. Thismeans that all your assets become part ofa joint estate, in which you and your spouse

will share your assets and liabilities equally.This can have serious implications in relationto your contractual capacity and can directlyaffect your ability to conduct business or buyand sell immovable property. You and yourspouse would remain jointly and severallyliable for all liabilities incurred during themarriage, which exposes all your assets torisk.

2.Marriage out of community of property2.1.With the exclusion of accrualIf you sign an antenuptial contract

before your wedding, you and your spousewill have separate estates and be entitledto contract freely in respect of yourrespective assets and liabilities. No jointestate is created and you are not responsiblefor your spouse’s debts. On death or divorce,each party walks away with his or her ownassets and liabilities

2.2.With the application of accrualIn addition to providing for separate

estates, this option provides for a division ofthe assets acquired during the course of themarriage, in the event of death or divorce.In short, the growth of both estates duringthe course of the marriage, is measured anda calculation is applied to share thedifference in growth equally between youand your spouse. Thus you retain separate

control of your respective estates during thecourse of the marriage, but you share thegrowth in your estates equally ondissolution.

Where you wish to be married out ofcommunity of property, an antenuptialcontract must be signed in front of a NotaryPublic before your marriage. Alternatively,an application can be made to the HighCourt to change your marital system afterthemarriage,howeverthecostsinvolvedarehigh, and can be prohibitive, for most newlymarried couples.

In addition to being informed about thelegal consequences of your marriage it isalso important to update your will, to takeinto account your changed circumstances. Itwould, in particular be wise to get adviceregarding:

* Estate planning, to suit your particularcircumstances and needs which may includethe creation of a trust during your lifetime,and

* The effect of Capital Gains Tax , if anyon you and your estate

* The creation of a trust in terms of yourwill to provide for any minors who mayinherit in terms of your will

* The appointment of a guardian to yourminor children.

ACTS of violence and thuggery are rife, regardless ofwhether they are aimed at property or humans.

Insofar as humans are concerned, the biggestvictims are innocent little children and theelderly.

What resistance can these targets put up?Farmers who provide employment and feed the

nation, the old couple in Oribi Village, Graham Savillewho, as I recall it, was a long-standing employer ofmany, contributing to the economy and the employ-ment in this city.

The list is endless.Surely children should grow up without fear of

rape, murder, mutilation, abuse and likewise, and theelderly should be allowed to live quiet and peacefullives in the twilight years.

It’s time for the government to stand up and putmeasures into place to punish these perpetratorsproperly.

RECENTLY, Iwitnesseda lifeguardrescuea bather. After the rescue, the lifeguardremained with the bather insuring that

he had overcome the incident and was fullyrecovered.

It was only afterwards that the lifeguardrealised that he had dived into the pool withhis cellphone in hispocket.

Unfortunately, itwas too late as thecellphone was totallydamaged.

One could ask, whywas the lifeguardcarryinghiscellphone?

If one had to visit allthe municipal-man-aged swimming pools,onewouldfindthatall thelifeguardscarrytheirphones on them. The reason being to makecontact with headquarters and secondly foremergencies.

These council employees do not havesubsidised phones or air time.

All the calls theymake to their bosses are attheirownexpense,while themanagers in their

comfort zone receive all the perks.Other municipalities provide proper outfits

for their lifeguards, including eye protectionfrom the glare of thewater, caps for protectionagainst the sunandwhistles for crowdcontrol.

HereinMsunduzi,sometimesonehastoaskwho the lifeguard is, especially when the relief

guards are on duty.Telephones are vital when

it comes to life-saving.By failing to provide this

life-saving equipment at ourswimming facilities, themanagers are showing justhow little they know aboutlife-saving.

Lifeguards, like fireofficers, are ambassadors ofour city.

They are there to ensure public safety, andas such should be fully equipped to carry outtheir duties.

It is hoped that the landlines arereconnected at all our swimming pools offices.

THE announcement by the National EnergyRegulator that the price of petrol is going upbyalmost R1 is a slap in the face of consumers.

Then we have the increases in the RoadAccidentFundand fuel levy increasingby80.5cents.

Where does the Minister of Finance factorhalf a cent into theequation?

Is he trying tofoolusintothinkingthat the increasesare done usingsome intricatemathematicalcalculation. If thatis the case, betransparent andshow us thatcalculation.

Theconsumerisbeing milked drybecausetheyhavetobearthebruntforthetheftoffundsandincompetenceofunskilledstateof-ficials.

If our finances weremanaged efficiently bycapacitated employees, we would not besubjected to such steep increases.

The falling fuel prices, which is teetering at$60 a barrel, was almost half the price sevenmonths ago yet consumers still have to paymore at the pumps.

Sure thereweredecreases in the fuelprices,but this was not commensurate with thedecrease in the price of brent crude oil.

With the almost R1.80 increase in the priceofpetrol, thetaxincreases,theriseinelectricityand food prices, consumers are in for a toughride.

The question thatneeds to be answered iswhether the SAeconomy is at a stage ofwhat is called the ‘fiscalcliff’, ready to tip over.Political commentatorsequated the state of ourfinances in SA, andespeciallythelegislationrelating to landacquisition,assimilar tothe initial stages of thedownfall of theZimbawean economy.

Remember Zimbabwewasonceconsideredthe bread basket of Africa?

That was before the skilled farmers wereevicted and chased out of the farms.

Without being a prophet of doom but arealist, can I say that the trajectory SA isfollowing is similar to Zimbabwe.

“The experience reminded methat I am sharing this planet withanimals less selfish than myself, andI have been given the task ofprotecting my natural surrounds.Walking, sleeping with the animals,theBigFive,washumbling.Torealisethat the animals take only what theyneed and don’t leave a trail of plasticor other waste behind them like wedo,” said Forrest.

Given the opportunity, she saidthat St Anne’s pupils and other staffmembers have to experience theWilderness Trail.

“We would like to give the

opportunity of experiencing theWilderness Trails to some of ourstudents and more of our staff. Werealised that teachingenvironmentalawareness and protection is onething, but experiencing nature’ssounds and smells and sights doessomething to the soul andremindsusof what is important and what we

needtobedoing insavingournaturalenvironment and our beautifulcountry,” added Forrest.

Schwartz said that despite thehardships of sleeping outdoors on athin mat, drinking purifiedluke-warm river water, survivingwithout toilets or toilet paper, thewhole experience was worth it.
