Truck drivers protest>> Depot manager says issues have been resolvedKAVEEL SINGH

AROUND 30 Unitrans truckdrivers in Frasers protestedfor better working conditions

this week.Drivers, affiliated to the South Af-

rican Transport Allied Workers Un-ion (SATAWU), gathered outsideUni-trans offices from Sunday peacefullydemonstrating and toyi-toying.

Speaking to the Weekly one of theprotesters, who did not want to benamedforfearofdiscrimination,saidthat they hadbeen battling a numberof issues.

The main points included rate ofpay, days off not given and back payfor days off are yet to be paid.

Workers claimed that other Uni-trans depots in KwaZulu-Natal weregiven correct time off as well as ad-justment to rate of pay.

“Basically with our rate of pay, weare under the norm and this is an is-suewe have consistently brought up.For some reason they refuse to treatus like they do the other depots.”

One worker, who had worked atUnitrans formanyyears,complainedthat officials from the bargainingcouncil visited the Frasers depot and

said there were issues that the em-ployer needed to “fix”.

“That was two weeks ago andsincethennothinghasbeendone.Weareall very loyalworkerswhounder-standthewaythingswork.This,how-ever, is disrespectful to us. It is clearthattheyhavenotdoneanythingrightand they must admit this.”

Another employee added that hewas supporting a family and needed“all benefits that were promised”.

“We are the basicworkers andwehavefamiliesaswell.Everylittlethingthat we getmeans a great deal to us,”he said.

Speaking to the Weekly Frasersdepot manager Sheikar Ramnarainconfirmed there was a dispute be-tween workers and themselves.

“We are currently in discussionswith staff and union representativesto bring this protest action to a halt.We want to find some commonground so we can move forward,”said Ramnarain.

Whenaskedabout themainissuesand bargaining council visit, Ram-narainsaid:“LikeIsaidbefore,wearein discussions and we hope we canfind common ground.”

OnTuesdayRamnarain contactedthe Weekly and said employees hadreached a resolve and were happilyback at work.

But an insider told theWeekly thatworkers were provisionally back atwork pending another tabled discus-sion on Friday 24 October.

“We are not happywithwhat theyare saying and not all issues havebeen resolved. We will down toolsagain if Friday’s meeting does notwork out. We are still unhappy,” saidthe worker.

Responding to this Ramnarainsaid: “As far as I know, issues havebeenresolvedand that therewill onlybe follow up meetings.”

A MAN was killed after a cane loading ma­chine he was operating crashed down anembankment and landed on top of him inthe farming area of Esenembe last week.

AccordingtoReactionUnitSouthAfrica(RUSA) head Prem Balram labourers dis­covered the accident scene on Friday as

they made their way to work.Balram said a farmer contacted RUSA

after being informed of the incident. Dueto the accident occurring in the middle ofa vast sugar cane plantation the callercould not provide an exact location of theincident, said Balram.

“The RUSA helicopter took off fromVerulam with two paramedics on board tosearch for the location of the accident. Up­onarrivalatthe scenethevictimwas foundto be deceased after his head was crusheddue to the tractor falling on him.

“According to his employer the victim

was working in the cane fields when heavyrains fell. The victim was instructed to stopwork. He then proceeded in the directionof his girlfriend’s home. While on route hesomehow veered off the dirt road andcrashed down an embankment which isapproximately 50 metres in height.

“No one searched for the victim be­cause his girlfriend assumed that he wasat his home and his family assumed thathe was at his girlfriend’s house. The forceof the impact ripped two tyres off the rearaxle causing them to land several metresaway from the wreckage,” said Balram.

CORNUBIA residents are al-readytakingtheinitiativetoen-suretheareaiskeptuptoglobal

The programme includes eradi-cating alien invasive plants and toplantindigenousandfruittrees,vege-tables,floraandfaunainopenspaces.

Underpinning the initiative, andgainingmomentumisthezerounem-ployment drive. Conducted in part-nership with the Sukuma Sakhe (Of-fice of the Premier), Wildlands Con-servation Trust, eThekwiniMunicipality Environment, Parks

and SolidWaste units, the alien inva-siveeradicationproject startsonCor-nubia’s northern boundary at theoHlange River.

Eight Blackburn communitymembershavestartedintheeastwithanother eight Cornubia residentsstartinginthewest-andtheywill takean estimated three years to meet inthe middle.

According to Tongaat Hulett cor-porate director Bongani Gumede,this incorporates two initiatives –communityorganisationasaprereq-uisite for empowerment. “We designjobs around the capacity that peoplehaverather thandesign jobs for skillswe don’t have,” he said.

Residents who are participatinginclude households without income,youth, women and disabled.

“Cornubia comprises 400 hec-taresof openspacepotentiallyhidingcriminals,becomingadumpingzone,promotingnewinformalsettlements,being fire hazards and promulgatingalien and invasive plant growth pol-luting the oHlange River catchment.Managingtheopenspaceprovideslo-cal employment,” said Gumede.

Gumede said rehabilitating andmaintainingtheoHlangeRivercatch-menteffectivelypromotes incomese-

curity, “whichempowersresidents tomeet their financial needs, ratherthan depend of social grants only”.

Gumede said residents work aneight-hourdayand in linewith the in-tegrated development philosophy ofbringing work to within walking dis-tance of human settlements.

Launched a year ago, the Black-burninformalsettlementpilotprojecttrains local community members togrow vegetables later sold to openmarket including local community.

Tongaat had originally ap-proached thecounsellor toworkwiththe community and a co-operativewas formed to train them in perma-culture.Gumedesaid internFilikeSi-baya,whoholdsadiploma inagricul-ture, was mentoring communitymembers on ideal growth methods.

Tongaat Hulett and eThekwiniMunicipality Business Support unit,purchased the original infrastruc-ture, equipment and pilot gardensseedlings, and currently vegetablesare harvestedmonthly and the fundsdeposited in a fund for reinvestment.

However, once the three organicvegetable farmsare fullyoperational,sales would be expanded and pro-ducesold to theadjoininghousinges-tates in Umhlanga.

Take care with the fireworksFEVER REPORTER

DIWALI ­ the Festival of Lights ­takes place on Thursday 23 Octo­berl.

Diwali celebrations include fire­works and this year city authoritieshave again warned residents toavoid the “big bangs”, which are for­bidden.

“We are urging people to followthe municipality’s policy and not letoff fireworks in sensitive spaces,”said eThekwini mayor James Nxum­alo.

This position has been support­ed by the SA Hindu Maha Sabhawho has suggested that fireworksonly be lit during the allowed hours:on the main day of Diwali, 23 Octo­ber from 12pm to 12am on privateproperty only and limited to low

hazard fireworks such as fountains,golden rain, lawn light and spar­klers.

Metro police spokesman, Eu­gene Msomi, has noted that the cityby­laws categorise Diwali as a reli­gious and cultural day and, as such,low hazard fireworks can be lit atprivate homes. However public are­as and display fireworks require spe­cial permission from the SAPS ex­plosive division.

Msomi noted that nuisance fire­works refer to fireworks that give offa screech or very loud noise or thathave been altered or misused to cre­ate fear or disturbance. These in­clude fireworks such as air bombs,supersonic bangs, sound shells,fountain whistles and screeches.

These are not allowed, Msomisaid, and will be monitored.

MFWA raisesawareness for cancer>> Cancer survivor shares her story with women’s groupWEEKLY REPORTER

THE MF Women’s Association(MFWA) together with theBrookdale Women’s Support

Group hosted a successful CUPATfunction at the Prenial Mission Inter-national Church in Brookdale, Phoe-nix recently.

These ongoing events are held bythe MFWA via MF councillor PraggiePadayachee’s offices to create theawareness of cancer.

MFWAchairpersonand theco-or-dinator of the these events is breastcancer survivor,

Shanaaz Naidoo was diagnosedeight years ago and is receiving

chemotherapy to treat themetastasiswhichhasnowspreadfromherbrainto her bones.

Naidoohasbeenreceivingchemo-therapy on a monthly basis for thepast eight years to date.

“I was on stage three of cancerwhen I was diagnosed and there arejustfourstagesofit.Itwasaveryscary

experience, but it was something Iwas able to get through.

“A support structure is pivotal ifone intends to fight this disease andPadayacheewith theMFWAwas oneof my pillars of strength,” she said.

Naidoo said apart from themonthof October, it should be the duty of allresidents to come out and show sup-port toall organisations thataredriv-ing to initiate an awareness to thecommunity on behalf off all cancersurvivors.

Naidoo said: “I want all peoplewhoarealsostrugglingwiththeseail-ments to know that your attitude andenergies are very important.

SKANDASashtiisthesixthdayinthebrighthalfof themonthofAippasi and is celebrated in theSaivite temples, but more richly celebrated inSubramaniar or Murugan temples in honor ofLord Muruga, more popularly known as LordSkanda.

Skanda Sashti commemorates the destruc-tion of evil between the Asuras and the Su-preme Kartikeya, son of Lord Shiva.

Skanda or Kumara, was created as a rein-carnation for this destruction. Lord Brahma,the creator said: “Only the spark of Lord SivacanproduceaHerowhowill defeat thepowersof the evil”.

Upon Bramah’s suggestion, the Devassought thehelp ofMotherParvathi andof LordKama (the God of Love) who assisted MotherParvathi to attract Lord Siva’s attention.

The penance of Mother Parvathi and thesacrifice Kama paid off. Lord Shiva wasaroused from his Samadhi.

However, none could bare the sparks of hisfiery seed. It fell into themouth of theAgni (thefireGod)andwas later receivedby theGanges,who threw it into the Sara Vana forest. ThusSaravanabava was born and was also knownas Skanda.

Corresponding to the six days of war overthe evil forces, devotees undertake fasts,prayeranddevotional singing inpraiseofLordMuruga.

Most devotees embark on a saltless fast. Of-ferings of kavady to Skanda is a popular offer-ing at most Murugan temples at this time.

Themembers of the Shri Siva SubramaniarAlayam of Umdloti Drift Verulam, extends awarm invitation to you and your family to par-ticipate in the Skanda Sashti celebrations overthe six days, beginning on the 24 October at6pm to 29 of October at 7.30am.

Healso listedotherthingsrendered“unsci-entific” by my testability assertion, such asmultiverses and black holes (those massivestarsthataresoheftynotevenlightcanescapetheir gravity).

Well, the universe acts inmysterious waysbut we can find generalisations from observ-inghow itworks, likenoticinghowobjects fallthesamewayeverytimeyoudropthem.Scien-tists then formulate mathematical explana-tions thatneed tosatisfy thesegeneralisationsand once they are up to par, we test them onnature. And if they pass these tests, we callthem “laws of nature”.

Now, each of these remains “true” until amore efficient explanation comes along. Inother words, we use Ockham’s razor, i.e. wecut the rubbish.

EdwinHubblein1929observedthatgalax-ies seem to be moving away from each other,as if the spacebetween themwereexpanding.Thischangedthestaticviewoftheuniverseac-cepted at the time.

Around the same time, Georges Lemaitretheorised that if the universe is expanding itmeans if you extrapolate backwards it musthaveexisted inonepoint in space, thus thebigbangtheorywasborn(thoughitwasnotcalledthat at the time).

It becamepopularamong thescientific fra-ternity because it was the simplest explana-tion for the origins of an expanding universeamid other explanations that were much lesselegant.

But we still needed to “prove” the theoryby finding evidence for it in nature. Obviouslywe couldn’t use the same physical phenome-nonthatgavebirthto it toproveitsoweturnedto mathematics and the mathematical solu-tionsresultedin testable(observable)physicalphenomena.

One of these was the cosmic microwavebackground (CMB) which heralded indirectevidence for thebigbangas itwas foundcom-pletely independently in 1964.

At themoment there are scientists lookingtodisprovethebigbangtheorybyfindingphe-nomenanotpredictedbyoragainst the theoryanduntil that happens,weaccept it as theori-gin of the universe, and all major theories gothrough this baptism of fire all the time.

“Butwecan’t test it inthelab,”hesaid.Well,astrophysicistsalmostnevergettotouchorex-periment on their specimens, but they canconstruct good enough theories to explainphenomena from little more than star shineand use those to predict other phenomenawhich.whenfoundtobevalid,arethenaccept-ed as true until Ockham comes in.

THE IMFO85thAnnual Conference 2014washeld in Cape Town’s International ConferenceCentre earlier this month.

The conference attracted a record turnoutofmore than2000delegates.Theprogrammegivespracticaladviceon financialandgovern-ance challenges in the public sector.

IMFO president Louise Muller said thetheme, “Good Governance - The Long Walk”was aimed at bringing “honour to our firstgreat leaderofourdemocracy that started thislongwalk it took toget to the freedomweenjoyat this time”.

“Transformation takes time, and the morethis country transforms, themorewe see howmuch needs to be transformed.

Minority Front councillor Praggie Paday-achee who sits on the Municipal Public Ac-counts Committee (MPAC) of the eThekwiniMunicipality attended the conference andbriefly outlined the purpose of the confer-ence.

Padayacheesaid that localgovernmenthashuge service delivery challengeswithin a verylegislated environment, with limited resour-ces to provide many social services that re-quire subsidisation.

“Local governmentmust balance the deliv-ering of services in an economical, equitableand efficient manner, with the affordable ex-pansion of services to those who currentlydon’thaveservices,while continually improv-ing all aspects of service delivery.

“Inorder toachieve this, excellent financialmanagementandgoodgovernancemustbe inplace-andit istheseissuesthatwasaddressedat the IMFO,” he said.

Speaking at the conference, financeminis-ter Pravin Gordhan said IMFO has for a longtime played an important role.

“Financial managers in municipalitiesshouldunderstandrealitiesof theworldtoday.Capitalism ismoving in a directionwhere ine-qualities are increasing.

“Thetypesofjobscreatedwillbeverydiffer-ent to those created in thepast four to fivedec-ades. People have become very indebted andthis means that the income of the municipali-ties will be constrained in the future.

“It isregrettablethat170of278municipali-ties represented at the Conference don’t havesuitablyqualifiedseniorfinancialmanagers.Athird of municipalities are dysfunctional andare in fact in ICU.Howtoget thatone thirdout,not into the grave, but to improve to a higherlevel, is a great challenge,” he said.

Yingakho nje engasheshanga wabonalo baba ukuthi ngubani lo mngani wen­tombi yakhe.

Indaba yonakale esewukhanyisa kak­hulu ugesi. Uthuke kwaphela nasozwaniniesebona ukuthi kanti lo mngani yindoda­kazi yakhe ayithola ngaphandle. Wobolakanjalo­ke ugwayi uboshiwe.

Ngiphawula ngale ndaba kaVezi ingik­humbuze enye yezindatshana exoxwangamaKhatholika.

Ithi ngesikhathi kubulawa abapostolieRome, bebulawa uKhesari uNero, bebe­bulawa ngenkemba, abanye balengiswaesiphambanweni.

Kuthiwa sekuzolengiswa uPetro, unele

wabona ukuthi kayingangaye, wacela em­punzini.

Kuthiwa esabaleka ezitaladini zaseRome, uhlangane neNkosi uJesu nayo igiji­ma ibheke lapho evela ngakhona uPetro.

Eyibona uPetro uyibuze ngolimi lwesiL­athini wathi; ‘Quo vadis Domin ?’, okushoukuthi uyaphi nkosi? Yaphendula yathi,‘ngiphikelele lapho uvela khona ngiyo­bethelwa isibili’.

Lahlabe lephukela­ke lelo kumfoka Jo­na, wayesebuyela emuva eyobethelwa,kodwa wacela ukuthi kuyena libhekiswephansi ikhanda esiphambanweni, ehloni­pha inkosi yakhe.

Ngalokhu ngiqonde ukuthi kunabantu

abakhuluma okunye, benze okunye.UPetro kulolu daba ubeshumayela

ngoJesu, kodwa ubengasafuni ukufa njen­gaye.

Nale ndoda kaDweba ibivutha ama­langabi ezinganeni zayo, ithi zingawaqomiamadoda amadala, kodwa nansi isib­anjwa kabuhlungu yingane yayo yenza lok­hu ekukhuzayo.

Theminefieldof cyber-bullying>> The Protection fromHarassment Act is avaluable tool in prosecutinga cyber­bully

DEBI BLAKE

“PARENTS, teachers andschoolsmustkeep on talking andworking togeth-er to address the complex issue of

bullying amongst children and teens. Thereneeds tobeongoingcommunication,protocolsand systems in place to address bullying andnot pretend that it doesn’t exist.”

JohnBuswell -CEOofTheProactiveEduca-tion Group, founder member of Rape WiseSouth Africa, and La Lucia resident - spoke toFever last week about what is becoming agrowing problem in schools across all socialspectrums.

“October may be recognised as NationalBullyingPreventionAwarenessMonth,butourgroup spends all year talking to children andtraining teachersandprincipalsonhowtorec-ognise and deal with the issue,” Buswell said.

Bullying is just one of a multitude of abuseproblemsdealtwith in theschool environmentby the group countrywide.

“Although bullying has always been a partof theplaygroundandclassroomithasevolvedwith the mass of technology which exists.

“Life’s challenges are very different to 40years ago. Cyber-bullying on social media canbe overwhelming. The latest trend of younggirlstakingnakedselfies-andthepicturesthengoing viral - is extremely worrying.”

Buswell said thatchildrenandparentsneedtoknowhowtodealwithsuchsituationsshouldthey arise.

“Parentsneedtobeinvolvedandknowwhattheir children are talking about and what themodern language/slang/cellphone speakmeans. They need to know the vocabulary.”

When it comes to cyber-bullying, “childrenneed to be trained and know the services/op-tions available to deal with it.”

He recommends that parents, teachers andprincipalsbecome familiarwith theProtectionfromHarassmentAct(Actno17of2011)tohelpcope with the minefield of cyber-bullying andsharing of ‘naked selfies’.

Sowhat does onedo in abullying situation?“Identify the bully and work with him/her

and their parents on why they are bullying inthe first place (issuesathome, lowself-esteem,etc).

“Bullying is almost a mechanism of protec-tion for the bully.”

Parents should know what symptoms tolookoutforiftheirchildbecomesavictimofbul-lying.

“The main one is where the victim is reluc-tant to attend school or suddenly withdrawsfrom or develops a low profile on social media(especially if they had been active before).

“If their cellphonewas an extension of theirhandsbeforeand they suddenlybecomedisin-terested when message alerts appear - thatmaybeawarningsignal.Donotignoresuchbe-haviours. In severe cases victims of bullyingcan self-mutilate or even commit suicide,” hewarned.

In the event of cyber-bullyingBuswell urgesthe victim (and their parents) “to save all evi-dence and show adults.

Avictimofbullying,harassmentand/orsex-ual harassment can apply for a protection or-der.

“What is important to note is that the com-plainantisveryoftenunawareoftheharasser’spersonal details or where the complainant isbeing subjected to abuse via anonymousthreateningoroffensivesms’,twittermessagesor emails,” Buswell emphasised.

“The (Protection fromHarassment)Act em-powers themagistrate’s court to issueadirect-ive and order electronic communication ser-vice providers to provide it with the full name,identity number and address of the harassersending the text messages, tweets or emails.

The Proactive Education Group provides avariety of programmes to schools, including:strategies and policies on cyber-safety, bully-ing, transportationofpupils,andschool safety.See their website at www.rapewise.co.za

19Pupil karts hisway to worldchampionships

>> ‘I’ve always dreamt ofwinning a kartingchampionship’

JYOTHI LALDAS

KASHEN Naicker (15) won the 2014SouthAfricanJuniorKartingChampiontitle and earned a place at the World

Karting Championships in Italy next year.TheStDunstan'sCollegepupildisplayedhis

genius when he finished in top positions inmost of his races during the 2014 season.

He left the2014penultimate racewitha12-point lead, which placed him in a favourableposition to take the championship title.

DuringthefinaleventinVereeniging,Naick-er drove into second-place finishes during thefirst two heats of the day, and karted his wayto first place in the final race of the day.

The teenager was greetedwith congratula-tionsfromhisteammatesandfamilyafterwin-ning.

“I’ve always dreamt of winning a kartingchampionshipandI’veworkedhardtobecomea focused competitor,” says Naicker.

“I’mhoping to carry over this success inter-nationally and hopefully, Imight be scouted as

a Formula 1, DTMorNascar driver someday.”Naicker,whostartedcompetinginpro-kart-

ing at the age of 10, quickly honed his skillswhilecompetingagainstseasonedcompetitorsin his class.

Naicker says he was persuaded to take upkarting by master BMW engineer Sean Sing,Tunetech owner, and it didn’t take much con-vincing to get him behind the wheel of a kart.

Naicker also grew up in a motorsport-en-thused home.

His dad is well-known in the drag racingfraternity, and is a three-time SA drag racingchampion.

Naicker’s parents, Logan and LouLou, areproud of their son’s achievements and hope tosee him excel in all levels of motor sport in thefuture.

Logansayshehasinvestedheavilyinhissonbecausehehasshownthepotential tocompeteinternationally.

“Karting is the secondmost expensive formof motor sport after Formula 1, and with littlesponsorship, Kashen’s professional racing fu-ture depends largely on our investment,” hesays.

“OuronlysponsorisDurban-basedSaiDutyFree,” Logan said.

Naicker isno strangerat international kart-ing tracks as well.

Hehasalreadyparticipatedat internationalkarting events and left for Verona, Italy on 14October to compete in the World Rok Kartingfinals.

More than 30 countries participate in theevent, considered to be the pinnacle drive of akart competitor’s career.

He isalso the first Indiandriver towina jun-ior rok karting championship in South Africa.

All systems gofor charity run>>Heritage Charity Run set to test participants

WEEKLY REPORTER

“IT’S all systems go,” announced Anand Naidoo,race organiser for the VAC Heritage 15km Chari­ty run/walk this past Sunday.

With all proceeds going to charity, communityprojects managed by UHS, VAC urges the local com­munity to support this event as the primary beneficia­ries are the community.

“The fast and pleasant route is easily gettable,”said the organisers with many social walkers and run­ners finding the same distance last year a pleasantexperience. UHS has also included at 5km fun run thisyear with the race commencing at 8am.

Entries will be taken on the day before the raceas well as online. Sponsored by KGB Holdings, pre­sented by UHS, VAC brings to the public yet anotherKZNA sanctioned Charity event.

With the start outside the iconic Mount Edge­

combe temple grounds, participants are in for a sce­nic route with the golf estate part of their route incor­porating Flanders Drive and Golf Course drive beforeheading off into Hillhead road and then the long, flatand fast R102 returning to the finish area.

Entries have been kept at R60 for licensed runnersand walkers whilst unlicensed participants will haveto pay an additional R20 for a temporary KZNA li­cence. Limited number of t­shirts are available for fin­ishers with medals for the balance of finishers.

The race has a generous cut off for both walkersand runners. Members are reminded that all shouldmeet at the Mount Edgecombe grounds at Siphoset­hu Road on Saturday from 11am onwards.Results
