THE “bigmarch”— to oppose theclosure of the existing UmzintoTest Centre and its relocation to

ParkRynie, service delivery issues anda demand that Municipal ManagerXolani Luthuli resign— throughScott-burgh’s CBD took place on Monday, 7October inpersistentdrizzleandundergrey clouds, but if numbers are thecriterion, it was a disappointment fororganisers and adherents.

However, what they lacked in num-bers, the marchers made up for in ar-dour. An estimated 200 people sang,danced and made their presenceknown to the town.

Before the event the organisers, theUmzinto Testing Centre Action Com-

mittee(UTECA),hadspokenofasmanyas 5 000 participants expected andsome speculated that protesters fromthe informal settlements, such asSanathan, had been “bought off” withfoodparcelsandother“goodies”.How-ever, no hard evidence was forthcom-ing.

Driving schools were well repre-sented and ANC T-shirts were in evi-dence,showingthat thiswasnotanop-positionexclusive in spite of theDemo-cratic Alliance councillors and somemembersadding theirparty’s support.

After marching along the mainstreet to theUmdonimunicipal offices,UTECA presented theirmemorandumof demands to Mayor SiyabongaKhwela.

Offer slashed by R6,1 mln>> Democratic Party doesnot agree to pay at all

SETON THOMPSON>>[email protected]

UMDONICouncillors reportedlydecidedon Friday 4 October to rescind theirprevious decision to pay the Liquid

Platinum consultancy R9,5 million and to of-fer around R3,4 million inclusive of costs.

Asreportedinlastweek’s(4October)Fever,LiquidPlatinumwastheimplementingagencyfor two disputedUmdonimunicipal contractsfor which the company claimed additionalpayments of aroundR40 million. Themunici-pality’s initialdecisionhadbeen torefutesuchclaims and enter arbitration.

Subsequently,aproposalwasmadebymu-nicipal management, urged on by Cogta, topayR9,5 million to Liquid Platinum forwhichno cogent reasonwasgiven. Surprisingly, thisrecommendationwaspassedwithoutdissent.The Democratic Alliance has since acknowl-edged that its support for thatvotewas“amis-take” and the decision has been challenged inchamber and in the media.

On 25 September, the council elected to re-viewthematteratameetingonFriday,4Octo-ber.Reportedly, itdidso, rescinding its formerresolution and proposing payment not ex-ceeding the revised figureof aroundR3,4 mil-lion. This has been approved with the DA op-posing any payment and arguing in favour ofarbitration and disclosure of the substance ofthe implied debt.

The key question remaining is where thefunds forsuchapaymentwill comefromsinceit was not budgeted for in the current year,which is still in its early months.

The Fever understands that using unex-pendedMIGDisaster funds has been suggest-ed, but thatmight not pass Treasury scrutiny.AsacouncilobserversaidtotheFever,“theab-sence of any compelling reasons for even thereduced payment remains the biggest prob-lem for its supporters”.

IN July, FNB introduced a system allowing its custom-ers to pay their outstanding traffic fines via its cell-phone banking service without having to enter theirtraffic fine reference number for online banking. Theservice has attracted a month-on-month growth of14% in customers since.

Ravesh Ramlakan, CEO of FNB Service Providersays he believes the latest functionality will only addto the popularity of this payment functionality.

“We’ve found that the average transaction valueis in the region of R295. Customers can now easilymake sure they have no traffic fines owing to FNB-supported municipalities, no matter where they findthemselves. The customer is never prompted to inputtheir ID number, as the banks’ internal systems recog-nises the customer’s profile when the customer logsonto cellphone banking.”

Facts behind good food ‘gone bad’

SONJA NELL>>[email protected]

THE Fever receiveda tip-off from a per-son who wishes toremain anonymous sayingthatwhile hewasworking for asupermarketchainhehadbeenordered by his manager to re-move the date stamps on foodproducts.

This enthused the Fever toinvestigate the issue surround-ing “best before” and “use by”dates on food items.

According to food labellingregulations, which came intoeffect in March 2012, it is com-pulsory for manufacturers toput date stamps on food, with

the exception of a few itemssuch as honey, unprocessed,unpacked fish, meat, poultry,fresh produce and sweets.

Best-before dates are put onless perishable goods such asbiscuits, baby formula, spice,cereal and flour.

If stored properly, thesefoods shouldnot necessarily bethrownout after its best-beforedate as with perishable foods.

It isnotanoffencetooffer forsale goods with an “expired”best-before date, but it is notbestpractice.Peopleshouldnotbe paying the full price for

goodswhicharepasttheir prime.

These items are sometimesmarkeddownand sold at a dis-counted prices, but it must beclearlyindicatedthattheexpirydate has been reached.

Foods thathave tobechilled— cooked products, pre-packed, prepared vegetablesand fruit, juice with a limitedshelf life — any food that couldlead to food poisoning if notstored properly, must carry ause-by date.

The regulations make it anoffence to remove or alter datestamps and it’s also an offencetoofferforsale,relabel,reuseoreven donate perishable food-stuffs after the use-by date hasexpired.

Renowned consumer jour-nalist Wendy Knowler says it’sup to consumers to protectthemselvesbybeingdate-markconscious. She says that if youfindaproductontheshelfwith-out a date you must not buy itand report it to the manufac-tures and the Consumer GoodsCouncilofSA.Thesamegoesforadatethatlooksdodgy,astickerthat may be covering the origi-nal date or a date that does notlookas if itwasapplied inapro-fessional factory environment.

Car guards to be regulated in Toti


THEcarguard issue inToti andsurround-ing areas has becomewidely debated byaratherdividedcommunity.While some

say we should support them as they are doingan honest day’swork, others feel that by doingthis, the public are enabling them as many ofthese guards are suspected of drug use, andsome have been involved in car theft.

“If you want to see drugs openly used andsold, park your car in Beach Road by themainbeach and observe for awhile. Youwill be sur-prisedas towhat you see,” JamesAustin,man-

ager of the Toti rugby club tells the Fever.According to Ward 97 councillor André

Beetge, recent enforcement operations by theMetro Police confirmed the drug trade undercertain car guards in the area.

Toaddressthemanyproblemssurroundingthe guards, Beetge began an initiative earlierthis year where they will be trained and regu-lated. This will make them accountable as op-posedtobeingabletodisappeariforwhenneedbe. Some businesses have come on board tosponsor theprojectwhile others still need con-vincing.

“When I park my car in front of the restau-rantonthemainbeachoratthesportsgrounds,I assume that the restaurant owners take re-sponsibility, not for my vehicle, but at least fortheguardsoutside. I thoughtthattheycommis-sioned and approved of them being there, butapparently they don’t,” said a concerned resi-dentwhowishes to remain anonymous after itcame to light that a car guard was involved ina car theft at the Beach Road car park on 22March.

“We are currently interviewing prospectivecar guards which will be appointed in certainareas and issued with an orange bib and cap.Their photos are being taken and ID cardswillbe made for them and they will each have anumber.

“There will be 12 to start off with, dividedamong the Toti Mall, the Toti Mall rooftop andLords and Legends,” Beetge says.

The Fever understands that the aim of thisproject is to encourage the public to supportthose wearing the orange bib and cap.

“Thecarguards,whoarebeingregulatedatcertain shoppingmalls, are doing amarvelousjob and deserve our respect and support. Re-member the story about car guard, MaureenRolling, who heroically averted an armed rob-beryatKingsburghShoppingCentre?Weneedmore of them,” says Warner Beach residentCarla Badenhorst.

Beetgeconfirmedthatthe12carguardswhoare part of this programme, will be deployedthis week.

“We encourage the public to be on the look-out for the guards with the bright orange capsand bibs and support them,” says Beetge.

FEVERIDENTITY theft, often accompanied byfraud, has become a widespread hazard oftoday’s electronic world and the SA PoliceService advises the public on the basic pre-cautions to take to reduce the risk of becom-ing a victim.

“We hope to create an awareness of theprevalence of this crime so that the publicmay be more vigilant,” says a ScottburghSAPS cluster spokesperson. Identity theftoccurs when someone makes unauthoriseduse of your your identity, banking and otheraccount details, to lease or rent premises,take out loans, make purchases such asclothing or furniture and commit othercrime in your name and at your expense.

Fraudsters can access your identity byrummaging through your refuse bin, pickingyour pocket, stealing your handbag or evenrequesting information about you via thephone, e-mail or social network sites.

As soon as you become aware that youhave been, or are being defrauded, contactthe relevant creditor, store, bank or other en-tity involved and freeze all accounts andregister a case of fraud with the SAPS forinvestigation.

Detective Warrant Officer Strini Maistryof the Scottburgh SAPS Detective Service isinvestigating two cases of fraud where thesuspects produced identity books belongingto victims, with their own photos attached,to buy cellphones on contract.

Had the salesperson at the cellphoneoutlet not been alert, the suspects wouldhave disappeared with their new cell-phones.

The Scottburgh Crime Intelligence officehas unearthed a scam where fraudulentidentity books had allegedly been used tomake purchases at various furniture stores.Three criminal cases have been opened for

investigation and a number of items offurniture and appliances have been seizedas exhibits.

Maistry advises that businesses traintheir staff on how to scrutinise identity andother documents and not accept them atface value. They should check that there areno alterations to the documents and thatphotographs in identity books are the origi-nals and have not perhaps been slipped infraudulently.

In some instances, fraudsters have suc-cessfully concluded transactions eventhough there was no resemblance betweenthe photograph in the identity documentand the person presenting the document.Some business employees merely give a cur-sory glance and fail to detect that the docu-ment presented bears the photograph ofsomeone of another race or gender.

However, some complaintsare still rife including a smell atthe treatment plant itself whichmay result from the impurity ofthe water, allegedly polluted byindustrial enterprises along thenearest river. Another com-plaint isthatwhenwasteremov-al trucks go to the site to depositwaste, the smell carried to thenearest dwellings by thewind isintolerable.

ATRUCKdriver,who attracted fourwarrants ofarrest for failing toappear incourt to facespeed-ing and other charges over the past two years,received a tongue-lashing from MagistrateBacharam in the Scottburgh Court on Monday,30 September.

Bacharam told Krishna Naidoo that he hadaccumulated fines totalling R3 800 for the vari-ous offences he had committed including con-tempt of court.

“However, Iamempoweredby lawtoconvertthis total to up to R5 000 per case, or a total ofR20 000 should I see fit, and don’t think I won’tdo it,” she warned.

Naidoo had tried various excuses, includingthat hehadnot received any summonsornotifi-cation of the charges. Bacharam quickly disa-bused him of this claim, saying “you signed forthem”.He thenpleaded that hewasapensionerbut she answered “that won’t help you — youwere the driver and therefore the responsibleperson”.

EDITORIAL COMMENT

Dear Fever,Oh dear, many biker boys and their clubs

Fighting the‘big fight’THAT crime is on the increase is un-surprising.What is also unsurprisingis that people are standing togetherand fighting the “big fight”.

Exposure of criminal activitiessuchasidentitytheft,carguardsinca-hoots with car-theft syndicates anddamaged storm-water drains aresome examples of issues that havebeen addressed and fixed throughmedia,publicandgovernmentpartic-ipation.

Municipalities,councillorsandtheSAPS are also coming to the party intheir resolve to fix that which iswrong.Letusnotbecomecomplacent— all it takes is for everyone to take astance and work together.

PIENK BOMEvir borskanker>> Die Pienk Bome vir Pauline Projek is ‘n landswye projek wat deurdie Dameskringtakke aangepak word


DIEDameskring (DK) van die Aman-zimtoti tak het op Maandag, 30 Sep-temberpienklinteombomeinBeach-weggedrapeerom ‘n stelling temaakten opsigte van Oktober wat bor-skankermaand is.

Gewapenmetmeters pienkmate-riaal, ‘npienk roos teendiebors en ‘ngoeieskootentoesiasmehetdiegroepvrouens die Pienk Bome vir PaulineProjek in Toti laat gestalte gee.

Die PienkBome vir Pauline Projekis ‘n landswye projek wat deur dieDameskringtakke aangepak wordomdat Oktobermaand Borskanker-maand is, daardeur wil hulle en dieKankervereniging alle vroue bewusmaakdathoegouerkankergediagno-seer word, hoe gouer kan dit behan-del word.

Vroeë diagnose laat jou ookmet ‘nwyer keuse van behandelings.

Die idee het verlede jaar by Carol-Ann van Jaarsveld vanGraaff-Reinetontstaan.

Volgens haar lê kankermaandhaar baie na aan die hart aangesienhaarmaenoumaaankankergelyhet.Albei se name was Pauline envandaar die projek se naam.

Deur dié projek wil sy, en nouhierdie jaar ook die DK-tak in Toti, insamewerking met die Kankerve-reniging van Suid-Afrika (Kansa)ondersteuning toon aan al diemensewat landswyd aan kanker ly.

Hullehoopisdatalmalwatditsien,bewus sal word van dié siekte en diestryd wat daagliks daarteen gevoerword.

Terselfdertyddienditookas’ngel-dinsamelingsprojeksvirdieplaaslikeKankervereniging.

Vir Dina Pohl, die voorsitter vandie plaaslike DK-tak het die projekook besondere betekenis.

“Ek hetmy suster aan die dood af-gestaan as gevolg van borskanker,”vertel Pohl.

Een van die ander dames, TheaHolm is ‘n borskanker oorwinnaar.

“Ek is twee maal — elke keer inOktobermaand — met borskankergediagnoseer. Daarom glo ek datvroue bewus gemaak moet word omte gaan vir ondersoeke en mammo-gramme,” se Holm.

Die idee is omdie publiek en sake-ondernemings betrokke te kry deurhullediegeleentheidtegeeom’nstukmateriaal te borg sodat die bome inhul pienk jassies geklee kanword.

Mensewat wil betrokke raak, kanasseblief vir Anna by 031 903 1750skakel.

OKTOBER is die mooiste maand,maar vir vrouens is Oktober ookBorskankermaand waartydens ‘nbewustheid van dié gevreesdesiekte gekweek word. Ironies ge-noeg is Thea Holm, ‘n lid van dieAmanzimtoti Dameskringtak, inOktober met borskanker gediagno-seer — twee maal.

“Ek het op 29 Oktober verledejaar, na ‘nknoppie inmybors verw-yder is, gehoordatdit ‘naggresiewekankeris.Agtjaargeledeisdaarook‘n klein knoppie in my ander borsverwyder en dit was ook kanker,”vertel Holm.

Holm, ‘n Wiskunde onderw-yseres byWerda Skool, vertel sy hetsoos baie ander vrouens gedink ditsal nooitmet haar gebeur nie. Veraldie tweede diagnose was vir haarmoeilik om te verwerk.

“Ekkonditnieglo.Ekwasnie lusvir die chemoterapie en bestralingnie. Ekwas ook nie lus omweermyhare te verloor nie. Ek was nogalmoedeloos,” sê Holm.

“Die eerste keer het ek deur diebehandeling gegaan sonder enigemoeite, sonder newe-effekte behal-we datmy hare uitgeval het van diechemo. Ek het ‘n pragtige pruik ge-hadenpartydae skool gehoumet ‘nblou pruik. Dit help nie om jouselfjammer te kry nie en daarom hetek aangegaan met my werk enlewe. Hierdie keer het ek gek-leurde serpe gedra wat by myuitrustings gepas het. Ek konnie ‘n pruik dra nie want diechemo het veroorsaak datmykopvel gebrand het en ‘n uit-slag gehad het.”

Holmmoedigvrouensaanwat indieselfde posisie as sy is om aan tegaan met hul daaglikse lewens enroetines en om positief te wees.

“BidenbesefhoeafhanklikjyvanGod is. Behou jou sin vir humor.Soek elke dag ietsmooiswat jou ge-lukkig maak.

Maak grappe oor die situasiesoos: ‘ek spaargeldopshampoo’ entoemywimpersookuitval ‘ek spaaropmaskara’.Onthou, vriende, fam-ilie, kollegas en kinders beleef ditbaie erger as jyself,” vertel ‘nmoed-ige Holm.
