MEMBERS of Trans Natal Flying Squadswiftly nabbed one brazen robber whostole items from the Verulam Courts onSunday.

According to Flying Squad headSuren Balram, response officers weredispatched to the scene.

“I was the first to arrive, within aminute of the call. I noticed two sus­pects fleeing from the building, oneholding a flat screen TV. Both suspectsfled in different directions ­ one to­wards the train lines and the otherheaded for Wick Street.

“By then other Flying Squad re­sponse officers arrived to the scene. Ipointed out to the response officer thedirection in which the suspects fled.The officer gave chase on foot, whilstI blocked the entrance to the break­inarea.”

Balram said he noticed the sliding

door was opened and the heavy dutyburglar guard was bent outwards.

“I heard shuffling inside the build­ing, and decided to tactically enter thebuilding and noticed a suspect dressedall in black hiding himself behind afridge. I swiftly placed him under arrest.The other suspect had fled into darkdense bush.”

Balram said he then contacted Ver­ulam police who assisted him.

“A search was conducted, but therewas no trace of the suspects. The own­ers of the premises were contacted,who is an employee of the sheriff de­partment. She then informed me thatit was a storage warehouse, which isused to store items that are due forauctions.

“The premises holds items worth inan estimated hundreds of thousandsof rands, a proper inventory was to betaken to establish what was taken.”

Police are investigating.

Liquor stores nowopen on Sundays>> MEC: Residentsnow have a choiceSHANNON HOPKINS

NEVER again shall a cravingfor a glass of wine on a Sun-day evening go unsatisfied.

Local liquorstoreshadtheir firstSunday of sales on 2March, whichwas reportedly well supported.

ThischangeintheKwaZulu-Na-tal Liquor Licensing Act was an-nouncedbyMECofKwaZulu-NatalEconomic Development and Tour-ism Mike Mabuyakhulu last week.Some say they are not in favour ofthenewLiquorActstipulations,butstores say at least the public willhave a choice.

Tops Lifestyle manager Lor-raineGovendersaid theannounce-mentwasverysuddenandtheteamhad toquickly rally staff to be avail-able for work on Sunday, from10amto3.30pm,asper legislation.

“Itwas quite a shock as itwas sosudden, but wewill give staff othertime off for working on Sundaysnow. The store was actually reallybusy for the first Sunday shift lastweek,” said Govender.

“I think some of the religiousgroupswill not be pro the new law,

but at least people can choose topurchase or not now,” she added.

In his speech, Mabuyakhulusaid previous legislature had failedto address the economic aspects ofthe industry, and that most peopledrank responsibly.

“Weareall aware that theabuseof liquorcontinues tobeacontribu-tory factor to many unnecessarydeaths and acts of violence in ourcountry.

“While some do abuse alcohol,themajoritydouseresponsibly,”he

said.“The old laws banned alcohol

sales on Sunday not just for thegreater good of the community, butin furtherance of narrow sectarianand religious interest,” addedMabuyakhulu.

Hundreds of devotees from Ton­gaat thronged to the Sabha to listento a line up of distinguished speakerswho enthralled the crowds with inspi­rational messages on the significanceandphilosophybehindthecelebrationof Maha Shivarathri and every otherfast and festival on the Hindu calen­dar.

ICE­CREAM. Spider. Vibrant. Thosethree words created an effect on yourthoughts, energy levels and your body.

They all caused a certain reactionin your body, they either made youcringe, feel fearful, or happy. Every wordcreates its own specific feeling in yourbrain which affects your body and ener­gy levels.

People tend to underestimate the

influence of words and the impact theyhave on our beliefs and on our lives.

Do you know of someone who com­plains about everything?

Do you get frustrated, annoyed andfeel drained after speaking with them?

This is because every word you hearcreatesachemicalreactioninyourbrainand body.

This specific chemical reaction willcreate either a boost in your energy lev­els, or drain your energy. This is why pos­itive people make us feel better whenwe are around them, and people withnegativeoutlooksmakeusfeeldrained.

We can also achieve these positiveand negative energy levels on our own

­ by being aware of our thoughts andthe choice of words we use when wespeak.

Each word you speak creates its ownneuron network in your body every timeyou speak it.

Even if you just think of a word, yourneuron network already begins to makeconnections, and fires the entire neuronnetwork linked to that word.

Keep away from using negativephrases like: “I can’t,” “It’s impossible,”or “I’ll/they’ll never change.” If you usethese words and phrases on a daily ba­sis, you will experience the same chemi­cal reaction in your body that will influ­ence your emotional state every day of

your life. We can use this method to alsoheal and energise ourselves, by creat­ing positive thoughts on a daily basis.

If you want to change your life andcreate a future filled with love, laughterand dreams coming true, you need toconsciously select your words.

By changing your habitual words,you can change your emotional pat­terns. This then begins to mold your ac­tions and ultimately, your life’s destiny.

IT’S Oscar season in South Africa­ and this one does not comewith all the glitz and glamourpresented at the Academy Awardsversion in the United States.

The Oscar Pistorius case, whichhas its own channel on DStv, is

in your face, whether you likeit or not. There is a blow by blowaccount on social media sites, theCarte Blanche channel is breakingthe story down piece by piece ontheir 24­hour channel and every lo­cal news site is dominated by thetrial.

South Africa’s ‘trial of the cen­tury’ has begun and no matterwhat the outcome, citizens are in­terested in some aspect of this sto­ry. However, before Oscar seasonbegan Pravin Gordhan deliveredthe budget speech and didn’t sur­prise many with the results.

The word of the day being ‘in­crease’ ­ petrol (again), sin taxes(alcohol and smoking) and theweakening rand. Gordhan also

said that government’s focus in2014 is to eliminate wastefulspending and corruption. SouthAfricans are feeling the pinch withthe number of increases andmany are looking for a silver lining.Locally, residents have complainedabout the lack of proper publictransport systems and have nocheaper option to get to places ­ inthe interim eThekwini is trying toremedy their ongoing bus prob­lems. Judging by some of the com­ments on social media, some havedecided to stop sitting around andcomplaining and are ready tomake a mark come election time inMay.

I WOULD like to tell you about my experience of whatIbelieveisabusivebehaviourintheworkplace,partic­ularly in a business known as a “one­man­band busi­nesses of all types”.

These are the kind of people who profess to runtheir business on a fair and respectful platform to­wards their staff, but in actual fact they don’t do this.

I can give you first­hand experience of the mosthorrific incidents from employers towards their staff:torment, shouting, accusatory, sadistic and down­right bullish and cruel behaviour. However, the min­ute a customer walks through the door, the employerturns into a smiling and charming owner.

This brings me to the next factor which is salariesand bonuses for the staff. Examples of low salariesbeing paid for very long hours of work with no formof incentive is the call of the day by the employer.

For some reason someemployersthinkthatmak­ing their staff work for 13 days in a row is acceptable.

Please do your homework on your prospectivenew employer before you embark on your new career.

I myself have been an owner of a very successfulbusiness. I am fortunate enough to know both sidesof the working situation.

With my given successful experience as an em­ployer, I know that the employers whom I have hadto deal with recently have a lot to learn from the em­ployees, who could very well be far more competent.

UMfuMeshoeungomunyewosopo-litiki abangamagagu okukhuluma,kangangoba noma ungavumelani ne-mibonoyakhe,kumnandinjeukumla-lela.

Kodwa igwebu alishaye ngoMg-qibelo, lingishiye nomcabango wok-uthi akafanele ukuba ngumfundisi.Asilindele ukuthi umfundisiwezenko-lo, olindeleke ukuthi abe phambiliekubuyiseni izimvu ezilahlekile, kubenguyenaokhuthazaukuthi zingawan-ikezwa amalungelo afana nawabanyeabantu.

Uyiqale kahle inkulumo yakhe ethiizinto ziyohamba kahle ezweni umaumphakathi uzokhetha iqembuelibeke uNkulunkulu phambili.

Kodwa usheshe wayilahlangokuzenza ungqeqe, ecabanga uku-thi abalaleli ngeke babone ukuthiuqonde liphi iqembu uma ethi kukho-na amaqembu alokhu eqhakambisaabaholi asebafa.

Uqhubeke wagxeka ukuphathwakahle kweziboshwa, wathi kufanelezijeziswe kanzima ngoba zisuke zon-ile. Nanxa sivumelana naye ngokuthiiziboshwa zisuke zonile, kufanelesikucabangisiseukuthiziningiezibha-dle emajele ngamacala ezingawen-zanga.

Noma kunjalo-ke, sikholwa ukuthiijeleyindawoyokuhlumelelisa izimilo,

Okunye okungafanele kugudlukeemiqondweni yethu, ukuthi abanyeyizimoabaphilangaphansikwazoezi-benze bagcina emajele.

Kufikisela amahloni okwenzekeKwaMashu kwiNFP ne-IFP. Kuyozekube yinini sibulalana sodwa.Siphakamisa izandla bantu bakithi.Sithi alwehle ulaka. Sekwanele.

Nakho nje ukuthi sekwanele aku-lungile ngoba kunika umqonjwanawokuthi vele bekufanele sibulalanekodwa kungafiki esibalweni esithile.

Siyancomeka isinqumo sikaDktMangosuthu Buthelezi noNkk ZanelekaMagwaza Msibi sokuthi baxoxengalesi simo esibuhlungu kangaka.

Nathi siyacela ukuthi lesi simo sin-gaqhubeki ngokuthi kube khona ozo-funa ukuphindisela bese kulahlekaeminye imiphefumulo eminingi. Umasiqedana sodwa, kukhona abajabu-layo abazikhohlisa ngokuthi siyobula-lana size siphele.

Nanxa singacheme naqembulezepolitiki, sibona sengathi izethem-biso eziningi esizizwayo kubaholiabehlukene, zikhombaukuthi kuningiokuhle okwenziwa nguhulumeniophethe. Siyaxakeka ukuthi umakukhona abathi uhulumeni akanga-

GRAEME Smith, one of the most dogged batsmenof his generation, stunned South Africa on Mondayby announcing he will retire from international crick­et at the end of the ongoing third Test against Aus­tralia at Newlands.

The 33­year­old captain told team mates afterthe third day's play, catching all unaware, includingCricket South Africa (CSA) chiefs.

His departure comes after arguably the world'sgreatest all­rounderJacquesKallisquit theSouthAf­rica Test team in December.

"This has been the most difficult decision I haveever had to make in my life. It's a decision that I havebeen considering since my ankle surgery in April lastyear," Smith said in a statement released by CSA.

"I have a young family to consider, and I felt thatretiring at Newlands would be the best way to endit because I have called this place home since I was18 years old."

Smith a veteran of 117 tests, 109 of those as cap­tain, and is the world record holder for the most Testwins as skipper of a five­day team with 53.

In the lead­up to the series­deciding third Testagainst Australia, Smith had spoken of still wantingto achieve milestones in the game but having man­aged just 42 runs in five innings in the series, his formhas been wretched.

"I have been fortunate to have had many highs,amongst them leading and being part of the besttest team in the world. I will cherish these memoriesfor the rest of my life,” he said.

“Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I bidmy career a fond yet sad farewell," addedSmith.

Stunned CSA chief executive Haroon Lorgatpraised Smith for his service to the game.

"Although Graeme's decision to retire from allforms of international cricket comes as a surprise toall of us, we must respect him for deciding to calltime," Lorgat said.

"Following the recent retirement of Jacques Kal­lis from Test cricket, there is no doubt that we arenow ready to move into a new era and it is our jobto build on the solid foundations that these greatplayers leave behind."

The veteran opener made his Test debut againstAustralia in Cape Town in March 2002 and was sur­prisingly handed the captaincy aged 22 a yearlater.

The most capped Test captain in the history ofthe game has amassed 9,262 test runs at an averageof 48.49 with 27 hundreds and 38 half­centuries.

His highest test score of 277 at Edgbaston in 2003was followed a week later by 259 at Lord's as theEnglish bowlers scratched their heads over how todismiss a limpet­like left hander whose determina­tion made up for any lack of flair.

He also played 197 one­day internationals and 33Twenty20 internationals but failed to rid the Proteasof their choker tag when it came to major interna­tional limited over's tournaments.

Lorgat said that the Proteas captain had helped

Smith calls it a day

write a glorious chapterin South Africa's crick­eting history.

"Iwouldlike us to re­member Graeme Smithfor his nerves of steeland his match­win­ning performancesthat were synony­mous with some ofthe most remarkablefourth innings victorychases of all time." hesaid.

"These includedsetting up the 414 runschase against Australiaat Perth and his series­clinching innings atEdgbaston in 2008, notto mention the unbeat­en century the last timehe faced Australia atNewlands in 2011.

"His role in settingup the famous 438 winover Australia in 2006wasalsoaperformancenever to be forgotten,"he added.
