Liqour laws soon to bite>> Currently tavern owners are educated on the social responsibilities not to sell to under age youth and pregnant women

NOSIPHO MKHIZE & NOKULUNGANGOBESE

THE Association for the Responsible Useof Alcohol (ARA) hosted its first tavernowners’ imbizo in partnership with the

SouthAfrican Leisure TourismandHospitalityAssociation (Saltha) last Thursday in Durban.

The imbizowasattendedbynearly250 tav-ern owners from around KZN.

KZN Liquor Board CEO Elliot Mashile saidthe purpose of the imbizo was to address andeducate tavern owners on the social responsi-bilities of refusing the sale of alcohol to underage youth, pregnant women and intoxicatedpatrons.

“The imbizowill educate tavern owners onanumberof issuesfacedinSouthAfrica,specif-icallywithalcohol.Wewant toencourage themnottosellalcoholtoyoungsters,pregnantwom-en and intoxicated patrons.

“Some traders have been applying to thisrule to an extent where they are brave enoughto tell the patrons that theyhavehad enough todrink, some of them even call metre taxis tomakesurethat thepatronsarrivesafelyat theirhomes,” he said.

Liquor boardmembers have been embark-ing on programmes that assist traders in bal-ancing profit against consequences.

“We always train them to think about theconsequences thatmight occur if they sell alco-hol to minors, pregnant women and patronsthat have had enough to drink,we tell themnotto look at the profit by selling to these patrons,but to look at the consequences that will ariseat a later stage,” said Mashile.

He said the tradersmust come forward andapply for liquor licenses because they will be

chargedwithacriminaloffence if found tradingwithout a license.

“We have started to campaign with law en-forcementagencies,andifatraderistradingliq-uorwithouta license, then theywill becharged.Ifthetraderhasacriminaloffence,itwillbediffi-cult for them to get a liquor license.

“Wealsourgetradersthatareoperatingnearschools and places of worship to apply for am-

nesty since it is illegal to tradenear those vicini-ties, they have three years to start looking for anew place to trade since we have just startedwith the amnesty programme,” he said.

ARA CEO Dr Osborn Maharanjana saidSouth Africa has a high number of youngsterswhoconsumeinalcohol,thereforethemainaimis to try and reduce those numbers.

“Minors who consume in alcohol usuallyconduct in risky behaviours such as unprotect-ed sex and accidents. We will combat this bystrict marketingof codes of con-duct, meaningthere will be nosortofalcoholad-vertisements be-fore 7 pm andthere will be noalcohol billboardadvertisementsnear schools orplaces of wor-ship.

“We urgepregnant womennottoconsumealcoholbecausethiscouldcauselongtermbraindamagetothechild,”saidMaha-ranjana.

BI Buthelezi of Shosholoza tavern in Eland-skop said it is a good initiative for liquor boardto remind tavern owners of their social respon-

sibilities, so as to combat social ills.Hesaid: “Althoughtherearecaseswherewe

find ourselves selling alcohol to underage chil-dren, because they claim to have been sent byparents, but we should be vigilant. We shouldnotonly thinkaboutmakingprofit, but it shouldbeourresponsibilitytoensurethatwedonotsellalcohol to patrons who have already had toomuch.”

BongaNdaba of 033 Lifestyle in Imbali Unit3saidtheysupport theinitiative,andarewilling

toworkwith theliquor board, toensure that al-cohol and drugsare not sold tounderage chil-dren.

“We havetrained our stafftoensurethatnounderage chil-dren, and peo-ple who are notsupposed to bedrinkingalcohol

get it.Ourcustomersarescreenedfromthegateto the counter,” he said.

He further said while they are operatingnearbyaschool, theyhavesinceappliedforam-nesty, and are not operating during schoolhours.

Former PMB pupilis KZN’s last hopein Miss SA contest>> “I’m honoured and humbled”KHANYISANI DLOMO

MISS SA 2015 hopeful SihleMakhanya swapped herquantity surveying safety

boots for high heels, to catwalk herwaytothefinalof thebeautycompeti-tion.

Makhanya (23) is KwaZulu-Na-tal’s only hope in the beauty contest,following the elimination of UKZNstudent Iman Sheikh.

The top 12 finalists vying for thecrown at Sun City on March 29 wereannounced last week inJohannesburg.

Having been a finalist in Miss SATeen in 2009, the Empangeni-bornbeauty is now closer to realising herdream of being an SA ambassador.

“I didn’t know how to feel. Ithought the judges were joking.

“After the judges gave me con-structivecriticism,IthoughtIwasout.It’s still hasn’t sunk in but I’m ex-tremelyexcited,”saidthecharismaticformer Pietermaritzburg Girls’ HighSchool pupil.

added the junior quantity survey-or technician at Makhanya’s Servic-es.

Makhanya said she was never in-terested in modelling. Her sister en-tered her into Miss SA Teen and littledid she know she would reach the fi-nal.

“Since then I never looked back. Idreamt of representing SA. I have apassion for my country. When I toldmy mother, she said: ‘Are you tellingme I gave birth to Miss SA?’ At homethey are happy and have been sup-portive.”

Makhanya said she was inspiredby Tatum Keshwar - Miss SA 2008 -whom she met while doing matric.

“She [Keshwar] spokeabout positivity, whichchanged how I looked atmyself as a woman. Sheempowered me and thatis how aMiss South Afri-ca should be. I doubt sheremembers this inci-dent, but I do and that’sthe impact I’d like tohave on younggirls.”

Unlikeotherstu-dents, Makhan-ya said she en-joyed mathsand used todo other stu-dents’ mathsassign-ments forafee.

“I lovemaths! Iwas aboarder and so ifour lunch for the day in the kitchenwasn’t nice, I’d do assignments forsandwiches and sometimes money.I’d used that money to pay for myswimming classes as I was a goodswimmer in those days.”

In her spare time, she jogs orplays sport, or “I’m soaking in anice warm bath or simply relax-ing”.

“I work hard so I try my best tostayhealthythroughsports,butalsogive my body a break now andthen.”

And if Makhanya were toscoop the title?

“I’d use sport and the artsas tools to empower youngwomen to not only dream butalso see their true potential.”

echoAutoWhite cars are boomingworldwide>> The colour of choice

THEnext timeyoubuya car, youmight want to pause a whilelonger to decide what colour

you choose.Top car companies throwmillions

at researching what the latest tastesare, and say the colour of a vehicle isso important to customers that it canbe the difference between buying ornot.

TheDetroitsawmanyoftheclassiccolours—redsforPorschesandothersports cars— and a few less conven-tional (a Nissan Titan pick-up truckdecked out in “forged copper”).

But there was no mistaking thepre-eminence of white. Particularlyat the Volkswagen stand, where sev-eral cars, the stairs and much of thefurniture was white.

In a multibillion-dollar industry,nothing is put to chance and nothingis done by mistake, of course.

AtleasttwodesignersinDetroitre-ferredtothe“Appleeffect”—theCali-fornian tech giant — to explain thepropensity for white vehicles.

Sitting at a white table, on whitechairs, inawhiteroom,OonaScheep-ers of Volkswagen told AFP: “Whitefor cars really peaked in the 1970sand 1980s, and then all of a suddendisappeared.

“But in the past 10 years we havenoticed an increase again in white.And it definitely camewith the AppleiPod era because Apple started to doeverything with white, and a lot ofchrome or metal finishes.

“In combination it was nice and

fresh. But before that,white was really not sellingin Europe because peopleassociated it with deliverycars and it looked cheap.

“But the combination withmetal and chrome looks fresh andcompletely new. White is boomingworldwide.”

So ifonewere tochooseablackve-hicle over a white one, what kind ofperson would that make you?

“Youcouldbesporty.Butpeople inhot countries like white.

“Whitedefinitelydeflectsheat,butif youhaveablackcar it cangetdamnhot inside. And then in a country likeSouth Africa you often have to over-take into direct, oncoming traffic, butwhite is very visible.

“So it’s a safety feature as well insomecountries.Metallicgreyorblackjustmelts into the colour of the tar, soit is not that visible.”

Susan Lampinen, chief designer,colours and materials, at Ford, saidthecolourwassocrucial tosomepeo-ple that they would buy a car purelybecause of that—nevermind the de-sign of the vehicle.

She too identified an Apple rippleeffect in propelling white to a best-seller worldwide for Ford.

“White is very clean, very techni-cal, very modern. So most cars lookgood inwhite,” shesaid,addingotherpopular colours included blacks andsilvers, while blue is also on the up.

Lampinen identified only “slightdifferences” in preferences in differ-ent countries because, she said, ofglobalisation. Environment, cultureand climate can all effectwhat colourcar someone might buy, she added.

Jag SUV won’t be called ‘SheType’

TWENTYFIVE years after the debut of the original NSX supercarHonda has revealed its successorat the 2015 North American International Auto Show.

Theproductionmodel,thesecondgeneration of the iconic supercar, has a turbocharged hybridengine, radical styling, lightweightconstruction and will be launchedlater this year.

What’s more, it’s headed forSouth Africa in 2016, although details will be revealed closer to thelocal launch.

Mike Accavitti, senior vicepresident and general manager ofHonda’s Acura division, said: “Our

commitment was to create an allnew NSX true to the heritage ofNSX — a supercar that delivers anew driving experience, one inwhich every part of the vehicle respectsthesmartestpartofthecar,the driver.”

Johnathan Norman, NSX interior design project leader, said:“Consistent with the ‘humancentered supercar’ development concept, the NSX was designed fromthe inside out with an uncompromising focus on the driver.

The NSX features an “advanced sports package” with keypowertrain components themidmounted engine, two front

motors and Sport Hybrid batterypack and power control unit positioned to concentrate vehiclemass low and toward the centre ofthe car.

The NSX’s dialoperated IDSoffers several modes — quiet,sport, sport+ and track. The system adjusts engine, transmissionand chassis response, as well asthe engine sound level. Quietmode offers batteryonly drivingat low speed for short distances.

Vehicle response becomes increasingly sharp when Sport,Sport+ mode or Track mode is selected. It also has a launch function. — Wheels24.

Bafana Bafana notyet out - Mashaba>> But the two remaining matches are a must win for the national team

BAFANABafanaheadcoachEphraim“Shakes”Mashabawasabigandno-nonsense defender during his play-

ing days in Orlando Pirates and MorokaSwallows colours.

Mashabaalwaysdisplayedhisbigheartin decision making in defence and he alsotook no prisoners with his tackles.

Mashaba’snaturalbigheartwasondis-playagainthisweekaftertheSouthAfricansenior team, Bafana Bafana went down3-1 to the African giants and Africa’sranked number 1 Algeria in the openingfixture of the 2015 African Cup of Nationsin Equatorial Guinea.

During thematch the SA side were thefirst ones to score and looked convincingbut later it all fell apart. They conceded anown goal, missed a penalty and kept onshaky in defence.

At theend, theSAoutfit lostnotbecausewere outclassed but their opponentswere

more experienced and did everythingproperlyasfarasthebasicsareconcerned.

MashabaopenlypleadedwithallMzan-sisoccerfollowersnottogiveup,buttostaypositiveandstrongbecause it’snot theendof the SA team.

He admitted that it was not a good andconvincing start for Bafana Bafana.

“Itwasapoorstart,madea lotof stupidmistakesandit’snotacceptable,especiallyinthecompetitionlikethis.Butallisnotlostand there is still hope of survival,”saidMashaba.

Tomorrow (January 23), Bafana Bafa-na will have another high mountain toclimbwhen they faceanotherexperiencedor one of the mighty Africans outfit, Sen-egal at 9pm at Stadio de Mongomo.

Obviously this will be another tough orimpossible assignment for Mashaba’steam. Senegal is unlikely to wait for theSouthAfricans to come to thembut are ex-
