A 52­YEAR­OLD Umhlali grandmother ap­peared in court facing charges of childabuse after she was accused of burning hergrandson with an iron.

Jabulile Cele, who has apparently beenevading police for almost a week, was ar­rested last Tuesday.

It's alleged that she burned her 13­year­old orphaned and mentally­challenged

grandson on his arms, legs and forehead.A teacher at the child’s special school

noticed the burns and took the boy to theprincipal's office. A case was thereafteropened by the school. She appeared in theNdwedwe Magistrate's Court which waspacked to capacity with community mem­bers.

According to school principal Anesh

Singh when confronted, Cele claimed thatthe child burned himself. However, Singhsayshedoesnotbelieveahumanbeingcanburn himself repeatedly with a hot iron.

The Department of Social Develop­ment called on the state not to grant bail.

Medical reports indicate that althoughthe teen sustained third degree burns, heis recovering in hospital.

Department spokesperson NcumisaFandezi also raised concerns over the in­creasing levels of violence against de­fenceless children.

"We are deeply saddened by the factthat this poor child was abused by the verysame person who was supposed to be pro­tecting him. We would like to appeal to ourcommunities to [protect our children]. We

are also calling for all those who committhese crimes to be brought to book."

The case has been postponed to Fridayfor bail application. The grandmother wasremanded custody.

“Some of our bigger Chamber members are alreadyfar down the line with initiatives such as cogeneration– the opportunities and benefits around such initia­tives will be promoted and encouraged by the Cham­ber to keep businesses afloat,” said Oelofse.

Eskom announced emergency load shedding lastThursday, with areas such as Salt Rock and Esenembebeing affected.

Although the emergency was lifted at 10pm onThursday evening, a rotational schedule has beendrawn up which may be implemented by Eskom asand when it is needed.

The problem last week was caused by ‘wet coal’,

according to Eskom.SaltRockwaswithoutpowerformostofThursday

afternoon, making running of businesses and dailychores difficult for residents.

Tiffany’s Spar owner Charles Wilson said busi­nesses in the centre were affected. “We are lucky tohave a generator, and we ran it for three or four hourson Thursday.

“Other smaller enterprises in the centre do nothave alternative power and lost business,” he said.

North Coast KwaDukuza Rate Payers Association(NCKDRPA) chairman Ray Millican said in his opinionthe emergency, and Ballito’s other power and waterproblems, is due to ‘backward planning’.

“There is no question in our minds that unsuitable

Power issues on the North Coast willnot go ignored.

THE Ballito Urban Improvement Pre­cinct (UIP) is making headway ingaining commercial property own­

ers’ support, says the iLembe Chamber ofCommerce.

Ballito is experiencing increasing levelsof urban decay ­ specifically around the is­sues of crime, grime, by­law enforcementand general deterioration of public areas.

This is negatively impacting on proper­ty values, investor confidence, business

and the quality of life in the area.The Ilembe Chamber of Commerce, In­

dustry and Tourism has led the drive to es­tablish an Urban Improvement Precinct(UIP) ­ City Improvement Precinct (CID) asit is known in Cape Town ­ to turn aroundthe management of public areas in Ballito.

To date the Chamber has secured 55%of total property value and 30% of totalproperty owner support. The target datefor securing 51% support is April.

“We need to take control of our futurein Ballito and the UIP is the answer. One

property, one vote,” said UIP co­ordinatingmanager Clare Swithenbank­Bowman,who is driving the petition process.

She said a total of 270 forms filled inby those interested in being a part of theproject are needed to reach 51% in supportof the UIP. “We are more than half waythere as we have 157 forms to date andneed another 113,” said Swithenbank­Bowman.

The initial target date to operationalisethe UIP was August this year, unfortunate­ly municipal policy approval and go­ahead

was only obtained at the end of October2013. The process was started on 1 Novem­ber 2013, which required the secured writ­ten support from 51% of 525 commercialproperty owners by 15 January (municipaldeadline).

“This deadline was not realistic due tothe festive season,” said Swithenbank­Bowman.

“However we are aiming to secure ahigher support threshold as it will take acollective commitment to turn Ballitoaround.”

Once 51% support is achieved, an offi­cial application will be lodged with thecouncil requesting commencement in themunicipal financial year 1 July 2015.

Once approved, the municipality willpro rata the budget amongst all commer­cial property owners within the UIP bound­ary, meaning no ‘free loaders’.

Swithenbank­Bowman is conductingpresentations every second Wednesday atthe iLembe Chamber offices to further in­form the public. The next events being 19March and 2 April at 8am.

The Chamber also supplies legalframework, non profit company gover­nance structures, geographic boundary,scope of services, budget, reporting forthose interested. Email clare@ilembe­chamber.co.za or call 087 727 8630 withany queries on the process.

Ballito’s UIPgains ground

and unqualified peopleare being employed forhigher positions.

They are thus inca­pable of forward plan­ning and, as a result, wehave this situation,”said Millican.

Load shedding willbe implemented inthree stages if neces­sary ­ stage one beingleast serious, and threebeing urgent. In stageone situations1000mw will need tobe shed, stage two willrequire 2000mw andstage three will requireup to 4000mw to beshed.

Eskom calls on con­sumers to use electrici­ty wisely by switchingoffgeysers,poolpumpsand all non­essentialappliances when notneeded to reduce theimpact of load shed­ding.

In January 2008 Es­kom introduced loadshedding, which isplanned rolling black­outs based on a rotat­ing schedule, in periodswhere short supplythreatens the integrityof the grid.

The local schedulesare available from theeThekwini Municipali­ty.

2013 Entrepreneur Compe­tition.

OWNER of Superior Kitchens SPHE Gumede ­ bet­ter known as the Groutville man who won first

prizeintheIlembeChamber’s2013Entrepre­neur Competition ­ has become a force

to be reckoned with.Over and above the R40 000

worth of training and mentorshiphe received through the iLembe

Chamber’s Entrepreneur Pro­

gramme, Gumede walked away with R25 000 prize mon­ey, R3 000 worth of marketing collateral, and advertisingspace and editorial coverage in local publications.

All of this has led to a quadruple increase in sales overthe five month period after the competition finished. Hissuccess has inspired entrepreneurs in Groutville andKwaDukuza alike who are excited to see this young manset a trend.

Instead of blowing his own trumpet, Gumede says hissuccess has challenged him to be consistent in high quali­ty, to be more disciplined and to build his customers’ trustin him.

Gumedeisaself­taught,self­employedcarpenterwhoidentified a highly valuable market that had been left un­attended and under­serviced by industry players for years– the black, middle income home owners, initially in theGroutville area – and he has become number one in thismarket.

This income group has over the years gradually up­

graded their standard of living, but, due to limited resourc­es, has been unable to acquire the services of bigger indus­try players whose services have targeted the high incomesector.

Gumede designs and fits custom kitchens, bathroomsand bedrooms ­ each unique to the needs and desires ofeach individual customer.

The iLembe Chamber’s Entrepreneur Competition’sjudges were impressed by his “absolute commitment toquality”, as are his customers who sing the praises of hiswork.

Their satisfaction spread mostly through word ofmouth and has lifted his business exposure. This, coupledwith the exposurefromtheentrepreneurcompetition, hasled to sales spiralling up.

Gumede recounts how one of the homeowners at Sea­ward Estates saw a cupboard he was making for his do­mestic worker and insisted that he must install his kitchenas well.

Superior Kitchens’ customer base has grown be­yond its initial niche and the homeowners of UmhlaliCountry Club and other estates have been seekingits services. Gumede’s dream to see his business gointernational may be much closer than he could everimagine.

With matric under his belt, Gumede says his lateuncle Bheki taught him everything he knows.With no money for tertiary education Gumede decid­ed to work and earn a living.

Starting with welding and selling burglar guards,Gumede thereafter took an interest in his uncle’scupboard making business and decided to followhim and learn as much as he could from him.

When his uncle passed away in 2010, Gumedetook over the business – through commitment andthe valuable lessons learned through the entrepre­neur programme, his business quickly grew beyondhis uncle’s original humble operation.

Gumede says the iLembe Chamber’s competitiontook him “from step one to step 10”.

“When I came into the programme I was lost. Itwas the first time I heard of a business plan. Whatis my target market? What are the important andkey things to focus on? How to market my productand business? I learnt so much,” he said.

Henotesthatsomepeopledonotknowwhotheirtarget market is – they just sell to anyone.

“The programme does not just give ordinary basicinformation, but equips you with skills that will workfor the rest of your life.” He also encourages youngentrepreneurs to apply what they are taught in life.“Knowledge is not power if you don’t apply it,” hesays.

Gumede has certainly applied what he learned– prior to the Entrepreneur competition he got anaverage of two kitchen orders every two months;now he gets up to four kitchen orders every monthexcluding additional wardrobe and bathroom or­ders.

Thankful for the knowledge gained from the En­trepreneur programme, Gumede will be joining theiLembe team to increase awareness of the pro­gramme and will be visiting schools in KwaDukuzaand Groutville with the The Entrepreneur 2014 Road­shows.

Entry forms for this years competition are avail­able at Ballito Lifestyle Spar, KwaDukuza Library,KwaDukuza Youth Centre, Sangweni Tourism Office,the iLembe Chamber Office, or online at www.ilem­bechamber.co.za Entries close this Friday, 14 March.

THE PROGRAMME DOES NOTJUST GIVE ORDINARY BASIC IN­FORMATION, BUT EQUIPS YOUWITH SKILLS THAT WILL WORKFOR THE REST OF YOURLIFE...KNOWLEDGE IS NOT POW­ER IF YOU DON’T APPLY IT.

DID anything great happen to you in the last24 hours? I mean something monumental...something you're so thankful for that you feltlike breaking out in song?

Go ahead, review your day.Maybe you're thinking about whether you

received any cheques in the mail or perhapsyou're just delighted because today's mail

didn’t include any bills! As you consider this ques­tion, you might reach the conclusion that nothingtruly spectacular occurred. But, hold on for a mo­ment. Did you have a place to stay last night ­ shield­ing from the elements? Imagine what it might belike if you and your family didn't have a roof over yourheads. Is there a bathroom, plumbing or hot waterwhere you live? Does that make your life a little morecomfortable?

From the time you awoke, did you have the useof your eyes to see the beautiful sun?

Were you able to get out of bed, walk around andgo outside? Some people won't have that luxury to­day. What about your hearing?

Can you hear the sounds of the birds chirping orthe wind rustling through the trees? At breakfast,could you smell the fresh coffee brewing or the toastafter it popped up in the toaster?

What would a day be like if you couldn't hear orsmell or if you couldn't taste your food?

Yes, there are people who don't have the full useof these senses. And what about those things thataren't necessary to survive, but that enhance yourday­to­day existence, items like a car, a radio, a tele­vision or a computer?

Are you truly thankful for these and other giftsyou regularly use? I'm sure that you get my point.Each day, we have dozens of reasons to give thanks.Yet we generally take these things for granted andfail to see them as precious items to be cherished.Of course, when any one of them is taken from us,even temporarily, we take notice.

But, day in and day out, we rarely consider ourblessings. Why am I making such a big fuss aboutthis? It's simple. When you focus on gratitude andother positive emotions, you feel better and aremore relaxed, more creative and more productive.

You also have a positive influence on thosearound you, at work and at home.It costs us nothingto be grateful and appreciative, yet it has a consider­able impact on the quality of our lives. So, don'twaste another minute. Every day, reflect on thepriceless gifts you've been enjoying. Openly shareyour gratitude with others. And, the next time some­body asks if anything great happened to you today,you will have plenty to say!

EVERYDAYis Thanksgiving!

ON Saturday night, I semi­gatecrashed a friend­of­a­friend’s birthday party in Pietermaritzburg.

This party reinforced every stereotype aboutthe drinking capabilities of Pietermaritzburg res­idents, and those of us who had bused up fromDurban were expected to quickly blend in.

Three shots of tequila in quick successionmade me forget that I have two left feet, abso­lutely no coordination and a tendency to thinkbig while under the influence.

When the salsa lesson began, I jumped ontothe dance floor, and easily caught the rhythmof two­steps­forward and two­steps­back.

If I got an occasional left foot mixed up witha right foot, I argued that since I don’t have aright foot, this would have been impossible.

I admitted defeat when the stepping turnedto side­manoeuvres and twirls. It reminded meof the time I attended one of Lisa Raleigh’s freezumba classes at Suncoast.

While Raleigh is a fantastic instructor, theglances of the people near me turned to stares,and the stares turned to laughter as I bobbedwhen everyone twirled; twirled when everyonejumped; and jumped when everyone ceasedmovement at the end of a song.

Having seen me halt my pathetic attemptsat learning salsa, the kind­hearted and braveinstructor later approached me and selflesslyoffered to take to the dance floor with me, withno thought for the safety of his toes, orthose of his friends on the dance floor. I politelybut firmly declined his offer, having no desire tomake a fool of myself or crush his selfless­toes.

Another aspect of this evening worth men­tioning is the confusion surrounding the dresscode.

Various changes of hearts on the part of thebirthday boy in the week leading up to the eventled to the 50 or so people at the event beingdressed as everything from princesses, devils anddragons to sheiks and harems.

The advantages of arriving at such an eventin a pre­hired minibus are obvious.

One can drink to one’s heart content withouthaving to consult @pigspot on Twitter beforedriving home and hope like hell that all roadblocks between party and home have beentweeted.

The disadvantages include sharing a bushome with strangers who feel nothing to throwtheir drinks over you en route and subject youto long and arrogant soliloquies about how suc­cessful and rich they are.

It was all worth it to sing “Happy birthdaydear Stranger...Happy Birthday to you!”

Salsa and twoleft feet

IN Germany between October 1939 and August 1941,Adolf Hitler sanctioned the Action T4/Euthanasia Pro­gramme.Criterion for euthanasia was simple: ‘life unworthy of

life’.The ‘mentally ill’ and ‘incurably ill’ fell into this catego­

ry. A child euthanasia programme was established inorder to eradicate ‘spreading’ of deficient genes andlater shifted to adults not deemed worthy of life.

At this time in Nazi Germany you would be eligiblefor euthanasia if you had an abnormally small head,a swollen head or deformed limbs.

Paralysis and Down Syndrome also made one unwor­thy of life, as did epilepsy, schizophrenia and encephalitis.Eventually children eligible for euthanasia came toinclude ‘those designated as juvenile delinquents’.

The Nazi propaganda machine premiered filmsand distributed literature to inform the public of condi­tions at asylums and how much money was beingwasted in keeping alive those that were unable to con­tribute anythingmeaningful­byNazistandards­tosocie­ty.

As WWII swung into action, corners had to be cut,and ‘mercy killing’ would save the state money.

During this time it is estimated that close on 300 000people were killed using ‘the best available human judge­ment [to perform a] mercy death’. Historians who have

studied the T4 programme tell us that the ‘mercy deaths’were ‘nearly always carried out without the consentof the people concerned or their families’.

But this is Adolf Hitler we are talking about; inan era when education and propaganda were the samething. So what is a human being worth over 70 yearslater?

According to research undertaken by the U.S. depart­ment of soils and agriculture or some such body a fewyears ago, if the chemical and mineral components of thehuman body were added up, we would be worth aboutR1000.

This doesn’t include organs, where, if you are havinga particularly tight month, you can rake in a tidy R6000+for your spleen, according to black market prices.

But then we get to ‘statistical life’ value. Simply put,this is the amount the taxpayer should (theoretically)be willing to pay to stop the death of one human being.Reports released by the Obama administration in 2011indicated that the value of statistical life was $6.1 million.

Since statistical life value is used as a benchmarkfor deciding on regulation, if your life doesn’t holdas much statistical value as the lives of others, cornerscan be cut.

Thus things such as pollution and crime are not astightly regulated in areas where human life has a lowerstatistical value.

Determining the value of human life is tricky. Yourmomprobablythinksyouareworth the lives of 10 people.Your boss probably doesn’t.

Your government may think your life is more worth­while if you are an active contributor to economic andsocial growth ­ in the form of taxes ­ so might your neigh­bours.

But the value of human life also fluctuates with socialpressure, legislation and culture, as seen in the often high­ly emotive debates over abortion.

I have always found it ironic that on the same wingof a hospital doctors will fight to save the life of a20­week­old premature ‘baby’ but in another rooma 20­week­old ‘foetus’ will be aborted. Who decidesthe worth of the baby or the foetus? And why is it that

INTERNATIONALLY­internation­ally­recognised sculptor Darren

Aiken’s creative home and lifestyleis enough to make any artist’sheart stop.

Known for his chess sets of fa­mous political and sporting fig­ures, Aiken has lived in Umdloti for13 years now. He moved to the areaafter he decided to change his ca­reer from an accountant to owninga game reserve managementcompany in Bushveld, Limpopo.

His latest passion is to marketdevices he invented that imitatethe feel of smoking ­ this to curbthe consumption of cigarettesglobally.

He has even put his home onthe market to help fund this phil­anthropic venture.

It was patented in August lastyear and is currently undergoingtrials. He is also currently makinglarge monochromatic paintingsthat tell a story about South Afri­ca, working on a township­orien­tated series and board game,amongst other private commis­sions.

He said art was always his firstlove, but growing up in a differentera meant his family did not sup­port his dream as a young man ­he studied chemical engineeringand accountancy.

“I always found a way to do artthough – I could sculpt from theage of four or five, and used tomake clay figurines for people Itook on hikes in the game reserves.I also did water colours, but thingsreally took off when I took some ofmy chess sets to the Rosebankmarket,” said Aiken.

He said the sets were sold outon the very first day.

It was here that he also met hiswife, Audrey Rudnick, also an ex­traordinarily talented artist.

He said that with the chesssets, and most of his other work,he has wanted to tell the South Af­

One of Aiken's latest paintings.

rican story with thebacking of his ownopinions.

“The history of therainbow nation onlydates back to 1994. Iwanted to tell this storyof the new and oldSouth Africa throughthe medium of art,”said Aiken.

He has also sculpt­ed miniatures of well­known musicians, ac­tors and actresses –even his surfing friends.

He got so busy mak­ing famous golfer pitchmarkers at one stagethat he had to turn thework away.

A while ago, hetaught street childrento sculpt to give them askill, and has a numberof their works still in hisstudio.

Aiken has certainlyhad his five minutes offame, having won a Lib­erty lifestyle Decorexaward in 1997 and as aresult being inter­viewed on Radio 702,Top Billing, and he hasalso been on the CNNArt Club show.

Interestingly, Aik­en’s main influencesare Mad Magazine andthe Morph cartoon. Aik­en says he suppliessmall galleries, butmainly works via wordof mouth.

Umnganewami uNyikinyibhoxo, umfo kaNdosi,umenywe ngabafundi bakwesinye isikoleukuthi azozichazela ukuthi kuyiqiniso kan­gakanani ukuthi akulungile ukuthandanakwezihlobo.Ungiceleukuthingimceleleninabafundi bethu ukuthi nimsize ngemibonoukuze angafunzi izingane ngoshevu.

Uthi: “Mntaka Vezi ngisemukelile isicelosalezi zingane ngoba iyangihlupha lengoziyokungazani kwezingane zethu. Uma sin­gayilungisi kusekhona isikhathi, kuzokon­akala kakhulu.

“Okokuqala nje, izingane azazi ukuthi yi­ni isihlobo. Ezikwaziyo ukukwitiza ngesiNgisizilokhu zithi ‘my cousin my uncle’ kuphelekanjalo,” kusho umfo kaNdosi elinganisangezandla enyiphile.

Imibuzo engifikelile sengigedwa ithiisihlobo siqala kuphi sigcine kuphi. Ngabesigcina kugogo nomkhulu noma siyadlulalapho?

Uyasincomaisinyathelo sikaNyikinyibhoxo sokucelausizo kubafundi ngoba ngeke kube lula uku­chazela izingane ngesihlobo, kwasabonaabantu abadala bengazi ukuthi ngobani iz­ihlobo zabo.

UGALAGALA lwenyanga ehlonish-wayo nedume kakhulu kwelaKwaZu-lu-NatalkantiuyaziwanaseNingizimuyonkana, nolusanda kuvula isikolesokwelapha eNgonyameni ngaphan-dle kwaseMlazi eningizimu yeTheku,luthikuyajabulisaukwandakwabantuabafuna ukuthuthukisa ulwazi lwabolokwelaphangamakhambi endabuko.

UMnuzProtasCele (78)odumenge-lika “Zihlahla Zemithi” onehlathielikhulu atshale kulona imithi yokwe-lapha khona eNgonyameni, utshele i“FEVER” ngoLwesine olwedlule uku-thi inhloso yokusungula iGaqa Tradi-tional School of Medicine, ukufundisaizinyanga nezangoma ngemithi emilaemathafeninasemaqeleni,nayoyonkeeminyeemikhulunemincaneethande-la kweminye (parasites), neyizigaxaemila phansi njengo ‘mayime’.

Uthi: “Akufanele isangoma nomainyanga bafunisele ngomuthi. Lokhukubasiza nangokuthi uma sebefike la-pho kudayiswa khona imithi bangabinayoinkinga, futhikungabi lulaukuthibadlale amaqola.

“Lapha kwaGaqa sifundisangokuthi izifo ezithile zilashwa kanja-ni nokuthi zilashwa ngayiphi imithi,bese siyikhombakhona eduze.Ayikhointoebalulekenjengolwazi lomkhiqizo(product knowledge) owuseben-zisayo,” kusho uZihlahla.

IFEVER ifike kwaGaqa kukhonaizangoma zifundiswa nguMnuz Thu-laniMaphumulo,ekhonanoNdosiezo-qinisekisa ukuthi konke kuhambakahle. Etafuleni naphansi bekwendla-lwe yona imithi okufundiswa ngayo.

Izifundozithatha izinyangaeziyi-6.Abafundi baqala ekilasini, bese

beya ehlathini likaNdosi lapho kut-shalwe khona yonke imithi edingekaekwelapheni. Uthe lokhu kubasizangokuthi bayibone eduze lento abe-beyifundiswaekilasini.Umasebepho-thulile bathola izitifiketi.

“Abantu bakithi akufanele ba-khohlwe ukuthi iningi lale mithi abe-lashwangayoiqhamukaenhlabathini,futhi eminingi yayo ilapha KwaZulu-Natal,” kuqhuba uNdosi.

“Ezinye izinhlanga ziyilanda laphakwelakithi bese ziyoyithaka ibuyeisisemabhodleleni. Kulungile lokho.

Kodwa iqiniso lisekuthini ezinye iz-ifo eziningi zingalapheka, nomaamandla esifo adambe ngishongaphambi kokuthi umuntu afike ku-dokotela. Kubuhlungu kabi ukuthiumuntuafekodwaubeukhonaumuthiongamsizaehlathinieliseduzanenala-pho ehlala khona kodwa inkinga kubewukuthi akawazi lowo muthi.”

UZihlahla Zemithi wazakhela iga-ma esanendawo yokwelaphela noku-dayisa amakhambi kuLeopold Street(DavidWebster Street) eThekwi-ni ngaphambi kokuthi baxosh-we ngenxa yemithetho yok-wehlukanisa izinhlanga, i-group areas act, waseeyovula eMlazi.

Ehhovisini lakhe kulenga inqwabayezitifiketi zakhe azithola ngokuhla-bana emkhakheni wezokwelapha.

Uke waba yingxenye yethimba la-belaphibendabukoabayekwelaseNd-iya bexhaswe nguMasipala wa-seThekwini beyothekela ulwazi. Uthiokumhlabe umxhwele ukuthi nakho-na eNdiya kusetshenziswa kakhuluyona imithi yendabuko.

Kodwaakayekiukugcizelelaukuthiodokotela babaluleke kakhulu ngobakukhona izifo ezidinga bona. Kuphelanje ukhuthaza ukuthi abantu bawazinamakhambi endabuko.

Uthi imithi eminingi ayisekhoezindaweni eziningi ngoba iyagencwaiphele ngenxa yokusabalaliswa kwen-tuthuko.

Yingakhoke ethi wakubona kubal-ulekile ukuthi abe nehlathi lakhelemithiyendabukolaphokuzotholaka-la khona imithi engasatholakali kalulakwezinye izindawo.

Kwa.Mamma’s Frieda Bontkowskyjsaid she is grateful for the donation, and

that bringing the gas bill down will helpthem to do more for the community.

“Our main cost is feeding the peoplein Shakashead – 2014 is the year we reallystrive to help. If we can bring the gas billdown by using the Wonderbags, we canfeed more people. At the moment we arefeeding 60 people a day.”

Assistant brand manager Gareth Viljo­en explained that the Wonderbag is an in­genious invention that conserves heat andcontinues to cook after food has been re­moved from the stove or fire. “We have adeal going with the USA that for every bagthey sell there, we are able to donate a bagto the African, but especially South African

communities. It really is a fantastic proj­ect,” said Viljoen. The bags are made inTongaat, and the whole initiative wasfounded by local conservationist SarahCollins when load­shedding was first im­plemented ­ 2007.

She saw that the key to African conser­vation was to alleviate the poverty issue.Using the Wonderbag saves 60% of gas,electricity or firewood, thus it ‘makes prac­tical, environmental and commercialsense’, according to Collins. The project al­so helps to create jobs, employing 50 per­manent staff at the moment. Kwa.Mam­ma serves as a crèche, job or purpose cre­ation facility and feeding scheme.

NON profit organisation Sizananiheld an information session foreThekwini councillors at their of-fices on Friday, 6 March.

Chairman of Sizanani KamalTimmaldraftedproposals tocom-bat unemployment, poverty andsocially opportunistic crimes.

Timmal said Sizanani "has thesolution" to these issues with themany new innovative and tangi-ble projects implemented.

"We will create more payingjobsandtheseprojectscanbesus-tained by creating more employ-ers rather than employees.

"Entrepreneurship trainingand opening of cooperatives hasbeen highlighted in detail. I muststress that working together wecan make a difference and alsohow government need to buy into

it, for positive change."Timmal said he believed that

the long termgoal of developmentis empowerment, through tangi-ble factors, such a self reliance,self esteem and ability to contrib-utemeaningfullytosocialandeco-nomic processes.

"The previously disadvan-taged and the youth who cannotget into tertiary centre's arebene-fiting from these projects that canbe duplicated nationally. This is amajor contributing factor to curb-ing unemployment."

Timmal also proposed the ideaofabusinesshub for locals toben-efit from.

"We hope to resource youngand upcoming business people. Itis an idea we want all to buy into.Thisvisionwhichhasbeen imple-mented overseas will surely re-duce employment."
