ASanonlychildGarthGarnhamalways told his school friendsthat he “also had a brother”.

January, his dream became a realityand he had the privilege of meetingthe brother he longed for, RobbieTomsett.

Although Garnham knew of Tom-sett’s existence, Tomsett never

by his stepfather and took his sur-name.

“In the late seventies we receiveda letter fromRobbie’s thenwifeMarywithallhisdetailsandphotographsofhis military days.

Tomsett, Garnham decided last yearto search for him on Facebook.

“I excitedly found the name andsenthimacontactrequesttowhichheresponded almost immediately,” hesaid.

Tomsett, on the other hand, wassurprised, but not shocked as Mary,his late ex-wife,mentionedduringanargument in an attempt to be hurtfulafter their divorce, “by the way, your

“When I got the mail from Garth Itold him to substantiate what he wassaying. He immediately sent me myoldmilitaryphotographswhichweresent to him by Mary,” Tomsett

said. Ironically, after the two lived invarious towns over the years, for thepast couple of years they have beenliving only 85 kilometres apart —Tomsett lives in Warner Beach andGarnham in Sea Park.

“After our firstmeeting I lay inbedthat night thinking how mind-bog-gling the whole thing was. It was themost fantastic feelingever.We imme-diately formed a friendship and in-tend tomake time for each other andvisita lot,”Tomsettsaid. OnTomsett’s64th birthday, on 24 January, theymet for the second time. “It feels asthough I’veknownhimallmy life andwe seem to have so much in com-mon,” Garnham said.

It took them 60 years to find eachother and now that they have, theywill cherish their relationshipforever.

mother discussed the matter, but forunknown reasons Robbie was never

The fraudulent scam involves the senderrequesting the consumers’ banking detailsand requesting them todepositmoney into anaccount in order to receive their winnings.

“Our call centre has been inundated withcalls fromvictimsof the scam.Consumers areurgedtobevigilantatall timesandareencour-aged not to act on receipt of such a SMS,”said Unilever South Africa’s marketing direc-tor for laundry, Shaadia Vawda in a state-ment.

>> ‘Poaching done at night’SETON THOMPSON>>[email protected]

ACCORDINGtoreportsreachingtheFever fromre-liable sources, the mid-South coastline is beingstripped bare bymarine poachers on a level that

can only be compared with the rhino hunting scourge.Informants are loath to reveal their identities be-

cause in some cases, it could be a neighbour or friendor relative who is involved.

Most of the informants are agreed that the extent of

the problem and the inability to effectively combat it isin direct relation to the calibre of law enforcement in-volved.

“As inotherareaswherecrime isoutofcontrol, therearegoodmenandwomenstriving tocurb thepoaching,but they are far too few, under-resourced and curtailedby corrupt and implicated colleagues,” a resident andwildlife expert, who we will call Joe, told theFever. “One of the key problems is that the poaching isalmostalldoneatnight,but thestaffcomplementsat thespecialisedlawagenciesdedicatedtocounteringpoach-

They have friends with homes on thebeach where they park their vehicles out ofsight.

They also change their area of operatingseveraltimesduringthenight. If thelawdoesnot knowall this, the response is haphazardand generally fruitless,” says Joe.

“What is needed is a crime intelligencecomponent that is on top of the situation.There are peoplewho can provide the infor-mation, but who do they give it to? So far, itis not being followed up.

3Conflict spreads toUmdoni council

SETON THOMPSON>>[email protected]

THE recent hostile envi-ronment between theUmdonimunicipalhier-

archy and various protestingbodies on the streets outsideUmdoni Municipality’s headoffice spread inside onWednesday, 19 February.

The normally laid-back at-mosphere of the councilchamberwasreplacedbynewregulations with entry closelymonitored and there was talkof body searches with SAPSand protection services to dothe job.

The handful of councillors

were accompanied and out-numberedatthemaintablebya delegation from Uteca’sleadership, while two policeofficers looked slightly ill atease sitting closely behindthem.

The combative moodquickly spread to the council-lors. DA caucus leader EddieBaptiehadbeenquotedinalo-calpaper,priortothemeeting,accusing speaker SykesNaidooof “putting a lid onanyhint of misconduct by his col-leagues”, which probably setthe pace.

Baptie started the meetingby challenging its reschedul-ing from the announced and

traditional Tuesday 9.30amslottoWednesdayat10am.Hethen demanded that Naidoorecuse himself or be stoppedfrom participating in terms ofUmdoni’s policy and generalmunicipal conformance.

ThiscausedargumentwithBaptie insisting “that is thelaw” andMayor Khwela, whochaired themeeting, usinghismanipulative skills to arguewhy he should not enforcecompliance and preferring torefer thematter to Committeeof Local Governance and Tra-ditional Affairs. Ultimately,the mayor ruled Baptie out oforder and appealed to every-one else to comply.

FEVERPump station, amighty ‘duck pond’

SETON THOMPSON>>[email protected]

THE disastrous saga of Ugu’s Pennington DolphinRoad pump station appears to have resumed. Aftera first instalment of almost two years, which endedwith the project back where it started, the secondattempt also seems to have ground to a halt.

A big part of the problem has been Ugu’s failureto take the community into its confidence, partly itwould seem, because the truth would be too painful.

The Fever understands that not a single meetingof the project steering committee has been held in2014 unless it has been without the members. Theywere simply told at the proverbial “last minute’ thatit was cancelled.

No progress has been made at the site, as thephoto shows — it is still a large duck pond into whichno selfrespecting duck would enter, given the odourof sewage that again prevails.

Considerable work has been done on a relatedproject in Gunter Place but nothing in Dolphin Drivewhere work on the fabled multimillionrand pumpstation is due to be completed in mid2014.

A TENYEAROLD boy sustained serious injuries after he was hitby a car on the R102 near the Karradene Hotel in Illovo on Tuesday,18 February.

‘I’m very excited about it. There’s somuch fraud because the books canbe forged easily. This will combat it.I can’t wait to get my ID card.’

STHEMBISO HLOPHE

‘It’s a good idea as you will be ableto carry it easily around in your wallet. And I don’t think it will be easyto replace the photo and will therefore reduce fraud.’

MBALI NCIKI

‘I think the ID card is a brilliant idea.It’s going to be much more difficultto be forged, it can’t lose pages likethe books and it can’t get waterdamage.’

LONDIWE GUMEDE

‘I can see the use of it. It will beeasy to carry around and it’scompact and comfortable.’

BERTUS NAUDÉ

‘I don’t think it’s a good idea. Whathappens when we vote – they usedto put a stamp in our ID books. I also think that the card will be easierto lose.’

TOKKIE ELLIS

‘I think it’s a great idea because ifit’s done properly it will decreaseidentity fraud.’

NTOMBI CELE

‘When we were young we were onthe card system, then we had to revert to the books and now we haveto revert again. The government justwants to make money out of us.’

EDITORIAL COMMENT

Good news allaroundTHERE is good in the world as our frontpage storyabout the brothers, who were reunited after 60years, indicates. Sibling bonding is strong and moreastonishing is that for many of those years they liveda mere 85kms apart, but now they have found eachother and all is good with the world.

Good is also Cansa’s Shavathon on Saturday atGalleria. Go one, go all and support this worthy cause.

That the SAPS have made many drug busts, thusputting the heat on dealers is something to be applauded. The public must also play a part in apprehending or reporting suspicious behaviour or incidents. Together a start can be made.

IN the second half of last year, the Upper CoastFever took to cyberspace, launching a websitewww.dnfever.co.za upon which locals can readthe news and views which pertain to them.

“One of the things that makes our site different to an average news site is our ‘CitizenJournalism’ tool,” explained online contentmanager Steph McLennan.

“It enables you to tell us your news, whetherit’s a newsworthy story that you have gottenwind of, or an upcoming community event —anything that will be of interest to your community. Fever readers can also submit photosvia this tool.”

The Citizen Journalism tool provides a valuable opportunity for pupils and university students who have an interest injournalism.

All content, if deemed appropriate, will bepublished online with your byline within fourworking hours – enabling the journalists of tomorrow to start building up that portfoliowhich will prove so vital to them when they begin searching for employment.

“In addition to the abundance of newsstories and picture galleries on our site, we alsooffer you an electronic version of the most recent print edition,” added group editor DesireeErasmus.

Dear Fever,THE inability ofUguandUm-

doni municipalities to deal withsimple problems brought totheir attention is well illustratedif we look at the report from thePark Rynie Civics Association(PRCA) stating that a meeting inSeptember 2013 between sixsenior officials, municipal man-agerDDNaidooand thePRCA todiscuss serious problems withsewer andwater connections inPark Rynie was held.

This despite Naidoo urgingUguofficials to doa complete in-vestigation on the problemsmentioned, with even UmdoniSpeaker Sykes Naidoo urgingUgu to inform thePRCSurgentlyon updates and mandates.

InFebruary thePRCAreport-ed that themeetingwas fruitlessasnocontacthadbeenmadeandnone of the problems had beenremedied.

The treatment of Park Rynieresidents is scandalous and un-acceptable. The attitude of offi-cials and councillors in Umdonihas been precisely described byIsmail Moolla. In his letter thatappeared in the South CoastMail on 7 February under theheading “Council’s big stuff”, heputshis finger spotonwhere theproblemsoriginateintheUmdo-ni council and proposes stepsthatneedtobetakentoeradicatefuture problems.

As we are now in an electionyear the vote affords us as resi-dents and ratepayers to expressour disapproval on how ourtown and amenities have beenallowed to degenerate.

However, with the failure tobring about a change via thevote, all is not lost. The action ofcivic forums that have been suc-cessful in going head-on withdysfunctional local authorities

and government departmentsthrough court orders and Su-preme Court cases rectifiedproblems experienced by smalland vulnerable groups of resi-dentsandratepayers.Locallywehavesuchanorganisation–Afri-Forum.

AfriForum is a non-political,non-racialforum,itsmainaimofwhich is to see that all societiesaretreatedequallybyall levelsofgovernment. All forms of dis-crimination, dishonesty andmisappropriation of publicfunds are rooted out and theguilty perpetrators dealt with.

Detailsofcontactsandhowtobecomeamember ofAfriForumwill be given in the press, soplease watch for this.

Only a combined and unitedaction can restore Ugu and Um-doni to their former glory.

Dear Fever,BROWSING through the new KZN

South Coast telephone book I noted thatthere is a lot of improvement compared toprevious years.

Dear Fever,I AM placing on record that I completely

and unreservedly disassociate myself, inmy capacity as member of the communityand that of eThekwini Ward 97 Committee,from the recent vote of no confidence in theSouth African Police Service Amanzimtoti.

This vote, by less than 20 people of thenonelected police sector committees isvery irresponsible and could lead peoplenot wanting to make use of the SAPS protection and thereby endangering the livesof innocent people. Until the ward councillor Andre Beetge breaks his silence andcalls for the ward committee to take a position on this issue we must accept that themuteness of the rest of the committee isan indication of their respect and supportfor my position on the issue.

This SAPS branch serves a far greaterarea than just the few coastal suburbs andin fact the policing region extends south asfar as Umgababa as well as west way beyond Old Main road. This vote of no confidence in eManzimtoti SAPS comes from afew citizens residing in the more affluentsuburbs of the SAPS Amanzimtoti responsibility area. The Amanzimtoti SAPS sectorgroupings consist of a handful of peoplewho as far as I know are not elected butmore likely invited. Are these allegationsagainst the SAPS Amanzimtoti sufficientgrounds to write off the entire staff complement of police officers of the branch?This protest may have a measure of justification but is seasoned with suspicion oflinks to parliamentarian Diane Kohler Barnard’s call for an investigation based onsimilar a citing.

The headbutting allegations where apolice officer allegedly assaulted a councillor triggered Kohler Barnard to call for investigationsintothepolicingclustereManzimtoti SAPS is part of. Protesting unilaterally without prior notice to a very largecommunity raises serious doubts surrounding the integrity of the action. Anysmall number may protest but when itcomes to considering a vote of no confidence in an office that serves the broadercommunity it should have input from themajority of citizens.

AUDITOR-GENERAL’Squeries raise concern

Dear Fever.THE Umdoni Local Munici-

pality notes with concern thenumber of queries raised by theAuditor-General’s office duringthe recent audit.

While the significant majoritywere matters which were identi-fied for the first time and, evenin certain cases, contradict pre-vious directives obtained fromthe AG, this must serve as anearly warning system tocontinually improve systemsand implement additionalmeasures to ensure full com-pliance.

Although no indications offraud and corruption were iden-tified in SCM, extreme caution isneeded to address the weak-

nesses identified swiftly anddirectly so as to avoid anenvironment where such threatscould prevail.

The implementation of Graphas had a significant effect onoperations, directly leadingto non-cash transaction beingcited as overexpenditureand various other adjust-ments.

Umdoni remains committedto working with stakeholders toensure ongoing improvement ofthe audit outcomes.

NO ACTIONfrom authoritiesDear Fever,

AT one time there was acompetition arranged bytheIllovoNurseryforpeoplewho improved the appear-ance of the road verge infront of their place of resi-dence.

The residents of Sun-sands, at 22 Beach Road,Doonside, spenta lot of timeandeffort improving theap-pearanceof thevergeon theDoonside railway station-sideofBeachRoadandwereawarded first prize for thearea on three occa-sions.

Weeks ago the concretefence on the railway side ofthe road opposite Sunsandswas blown over and flat-tenedtheplantsontheverge

that had won the prize forthe area.

This was reported toTransnet, but no action hasyetbeenmadetoremovethefence and restore the bankto prize-winning condi-tions.

Thephoto(left)of thecol-lapsed fence was takensome weeks ago. but thearea is still the same exceptfor the vegetation that is be-ginning togrowthrough theslats.

I write this in the hopethat theFeverwill be able tosuggest how we can get therailways or municipal de-partments to do somethingabout it.

Waste site replacement urgentSETON THOMPSON>>[email protected]

THE Umdoni area’s solewastedisposallandfillsite—Humberdale — has 5,4years of remaining life atcurrent levels of usage. Thismightsoundlikeacomforta-ble “cushion”but, as the ex-perts mandated with itsmanagement point out, itcould take that long to havethe second phase function-ing adequately.

This assessment is basedon the latest calculations

done this month. They arevery precise, showing July2019as the likely “endof thelifespan”ofthesite,basedonthe average deposit rate of1 159 cubic metres permonth.

The Humberdale com-mittee has repeatedlystressed the need to pushforward with the prepara-tion of phase two, but coun-cil’s responsehas focusedonthe presumption that thecommencement of recyclingwill push thedateout signifi-cantly.

Mr. N. Manyathi,General Manager TechnicalServicesUmdoni MunicipalityScottburgh.Dear Mr Manyathi,Re: Roads maintenance

I MUST first thank you for gettingrepairsdoneontheunevenpavementinScottStreet.Itwasmuchappreciat-ed.

Iwishtobringtoyourattentionthepoor condition of many of our roadsin Scottburgh and Pennington ofwhich you are well aware. It is obvi-ous that a maintenance programmedoesnotexistandconsequentlymanyroad surfaces are now so potholedthat patching is impractical and con-sequently an entire resurfacing isnecessary.

This would not be necessary if thecorrect planning for road mainte-nance had been implemented.WhileIappreciatethatthereareotherareaswithin Umdoni where roads are alsobad, such as Umzinto and Amanad-awe,it isyourresponsibilitytoensurethat they are maintained for whichthe ratepayer pay their taxes.Some of the many problem areasthat must be repaired are:

>> Pothole directly outside yourmunicipal offices which you andmany of your employees will have toavoid each day they come to work. Itis extraordinary that this hole couldhavebeen left unattended for so long.

>> Steven Road, Raymond Ave-nue, Davallen Road, Roger Place (up-per), Margaret Avenue are just someof themany roads that are either pot-holed or severely potholed and re-quire attention.

>> AshleyRoadbetweenDavallenand Raymond — the road edge hassubsidedbecauseof thestreamandisa danger to traffic.

>> Large pothole 100m from theN2 off-ramp towards the R102markedwithwhite paint. I know thatthis is theresponsibilityof theprovin-cial roads department, but this roadcarries all the traffic from the N2north to our town. It has been re-paired at least four times within thepast twoyears–pleaserefer tomylet-ter dated 19April 2013 inwhich I re-quest that it be repaired “properly”.

When I state “properly” I meanthat the repairs should be carried outin such a way that they it will not benecessary to repeat the repairs everysixmonths.Notonlydoesthisdemon-strate gross incompetence, but itwastes taxpayers’ money. This roadcarriesheavy-dutyvehicles sosimplyfilling in theholewith tar is useless—as on previous occasions.

The area must be excavated deepdownwithacompactedfoundationofresilientmaterialsbefore the final tarcan be laid on the surface. Surely,there must be someone within theprovincial technical departmentwhoknows how to repair such holes cor-rectly.

Finally, in your position as GMTS,you must surely be able to influenceyour provincial counterparts in PortShepstone to do the job “properly”and speedily. Holidaymakers had toendurethisholeyetagainlastDecem-ber. I thankyou for your co-operationin thismatter and look forward to re-ceiving the courtesy of your responseon the above.

A MOTHER and her two-year-old son,who choked on a largesweetwhile at ScottburghMallataroundmid-morningonSat-urday,15February,werefortu-nate to seek help at Clicks. Be-hind the counter was pharma-cistJacoSenekalwith13years’experience andhis prompt ap-plication of the Heimlich ma-noeuvre had the sweet rollingon the floor and the child gasp-ing at the influx of air.

“He appeared not to bebreathing when I started thetreatment,” said Senekal, “butthe airlock broke as the sweetexited and he was upset butconscious.” Unfortunately, inall the excitement, Senekal didnot find out who his littlepatient was.

WHEN it comes to the name Andrew Zondo, everyone who reads the local papersknows who he is. The man that blew upToti Mall and gets a street named afterhim. I have to try and explain to my nineyearold kid why the government wants tohonour a killer. Well, that’s the first problem,whentheinnocenceofanineyearoldchild does not get it — why you would dothat, how are we, as adults, meant to understand it. We know who he is and he doesnot deserve that honour.

Andrew Zondo is a murderer no matterhow you put a spin on it. No one who killsshould be recognised for that, let alone remind everyone else how sick they are. Howmany of you reading this know who thenext names are — Willem Arie van Wyk, orIsabella van Wyk or Johan Smit.

Well let me help you, these are justthreeofthenamesyoushouldknow.JohanSmit was eight. Think now of your kid atthat age, remember their face and the in

nocence. And now think of them dead,blown up. Johan was a kid. Now look at thepictures attached. The reality of what Zondo did and what you forgot is the picture.

Isabella van Wyk was five at the timeof the explosion, as can be seen by the pho

to attached.That’s her, a fiveyear old. She was re

ported dead, it was only recently in 2013did we find that she did not die as was apparently reported at the TRC hearings andnewspapers back in the day. I only foundthis out on the web.

Willem Arie van Wyk was her brother.At only two years old, yes, he was two, ababy who smiled when happy, cried whenhungry, died because of Zondo. He was twoand you, the ANC, killed him.

Let me remind you again. His name wasWillem Arie van Wyk. Not a NP member or

any political affiliation at all. He was a baby who was learning to walk and talk andbe a kid, that was his crime.

Well done ANC, you are proud to kill babies that’s why you name streets aftermurderers. No morals now and none then.Nothing to hide behind there, that is whatyou are saying with this Zondo street name— the kid you already forgot his name, hey.Willem van Wyk was walking with his African nanny who was also seriously injured.So you killed and hurt all races. I don’t getit.

Let’s look at it this way and take politicsout of it, if you are pro for the renaming ofKingsway to Andrew Zondo, then you arepro for killing babies and children. And youare pro for violence. There is no way aroundthat one.

You pro Zondo name, you pro killing.Stop, take a minute and think, that is thefact.

Kingsway, if it must be renamed because he must have done somethingwrong, like ride a horse, then it can andshouldandmustonlyberenamedafterthe

young victims like Johan or Isabella. or theyoungest. Willem.

No man, woman or political opponenthad the right to take there lives and theydid.Weshouldbeashamedandbereminded of that every single day that we drivethis road.

No kids should be killed ever, no matterwhat the adults difference are. Willem vanWyk Road would be an appropriate namethat should be remembered as the youngest victem who did not know of discrimenation but died for it.

The ANC and DA, and all other politicalparties who are truly for the people, shouldbe all over this one. Name Kingsway afterWillem Arie van Wyk — he died for everyone, he did not know why.

UMNDENI waKwaNyawose eZ-inqoleni ucela uxhaso lokwa-khelwa indlu noma kuxhunye in-dlu yabo engekho esimweni esih-le.

UMnuz Mbongeni Nyawose(54) utshele abeFever ukuthi up-hila nokukhubazeka futhi akasa-kwazi ukuzenzela lutho emvakokulimala engozini yetekisi ay-eyishayela eThekwini ngo-1999.

Uthe: Ngangithembe ukuthingizothola isinxephezelo semali

yokulimala engozini yomgwaqokodwa kuze kube yimanje an-gikaze ngithole lutho.

Uqhube wathi usephila nge-mali kahulumeni yabaphilanokukhubazeka kodwa ayaneleukuthi akwazi ukulungisa umuziwakhe ube namagumbi amabili.

“Kwayileligumbiengihlalaku-lo kwaba yimizamo kankosikaziobamba amatohho nje,” kushoyena. AbakwaNyawosebatholakala enombolweni ethi:078 1177 456,” kusho Nkk Nya-wose.

ISITHOMBE: SITHUNYELWEUMnuz Mbongeni Nyawose odinga ukulungiselwa indlu yakhe afisa ibe namagumbi amabili ukuze athole indawo yokugezela.

SESIPHINDE sahlangana bafundi bethuabahle. Sagcinana ngesikhathi sixoxa nge‘minsinsila namadilozi’. Nansi ke indabaengihluphayo kulezi zinsuku.

Ngikhathazwa abantu abathanda ukuzikhukhumeza.

Ngiyathanda ukuhlala nabantu abahlukahlukene. Angikhethi bala lamuntu. Angiyingokuthi umuntu uphetheni esandlenikodwa isizathu sami ukuthi ngifunde okuningi kubo bonke abantu.

Kunalento ethanda ukuba nzima futhiengingayazi nokuthi isukaphi. Ngizobhekisakakhulu kwabansundu ngoba ngiyazi ukuthingizokhuluma ngizwakale.

Ngihlushwa yilolu daba lokuzikhukhumeza noma lokuziphakamisa.

Umuntu unele athole isikhundla esingconywana emsebenzini noma emphakathini umbone esehambela phezulu. Angazikuke kuthini emqondweni womuntu umaesebukela abanye abantu phansi enze sengathi uthole isikhundla sokuba ngumengaliwezwe lonke, ekubeni kwasayena uMnuzJacob Zuma engaziphakamisi. Uboneumuntu wakhona engasakwazi ngisho ukubingelela, kodwa ebe ehlala nabanyeabasebenzi edla nabo, encokola nabo,kodwa nje inkinga iqale uma esenyuselweesikhundleni esithe thuthu.

Omunye uze ahambele phezulu, abanyeabantu ababukise okwamanzi okuphekauphuthu.

Lomkhuba ufana nse nomuntu okuthikade ehlalisene kahle nomphakathi jikeleleelokishini, anele abe nemali aqale ukubanehlo lokukhetha ubhontshisi. Laphokeusuke engasathintwa esenemali edida usathane. La ‘majita’ akhule nawo elokshini,angabe esazihlanganisa nawo ngoba usehlala esilungwini, usehamba ngezimotoeziphambili.

Anginayo inkinga nomuntu ohlala esilungwini ngoba uhulumeni wentando yeningi wavula amathuba okuthi umuntu ahlale noma yikuphi lapho ethanda khona,aphile impilo ayithandayo, inqobo nje umaenamandla.

Inselelo iba sekuzithwaleni komuntu,ajike ngokuphazima kweso, kujike ngishonendlela akhuluma ngayo. Uma evakashele

elokishini angabe esahlala ngisho nama ‘jita’ akhula ehlala nawo. Usekhuluma ulimiolukhombisa ukuthi yena unemali, usecwasa kwasani ngisho nendlela ‘amajita’agqoka ngayo, akhohlwe ukuthi naye zololokhu, ubezishayela ngesikhindi nophaqa.

Uyena lo obeziphuzela unemenayidi osebhodleleni ngomlomo kungabindaba zalutho, kodwa manje useziphuzela ikanilejuice nge ‘straw’ uma eselokishini. Ngiyaninxusa bantu bakithi, ake sishintshe indlelaesenza ngayo. Angikholwa ukuthi iyonandlela okhokho bethu abasifundisa ngayole.Ngishonomlunguoyisicebiakayenzilentoyokuziphakamisa.

Noma ehamba emgwaqeni ngeke uzitshele ukuthi uyisigwili ngenxa yokuthi akazikhukhumezi.

Asiyeke ukucwasana siyisizwe esimnyama. Masingazi phakamisi. Esikhundlenisalokho masifukulane sibambisane ngobalokho kuzokwakha isizwe esimnyama esibumbene, nesinenhlonipho, ukuze nenzinyeizinhlanga zisihloniphe.

Ningixolele bafundi uma kukhona othintekile kuloludaba kodwa eyakoKhabazelaibibeka umbono wayo njengoba nawemfundi unemvume yokuphawula ngaloludaba. Ungasibhalela uthumele ngeposiekhelini elithi, 43 Imvubu Park Place, Riverhorse Valley, Durban 4017 noma uthumelengeemail kunosipho.mkhize@witness.co.za noma ushishayele ku074 696873/031 533 7624.

I will stay on the South Coast,an area rich with sporting talent. I’d like to thankthe management who believed in me and gave methe opportunity to make a contribution to theSouth Coast, Upper Coast, East London and East

Griqualand publications on a weekly basis as wellas my colleagues, especially those in the PortShepstone office, colourful characters who I’ll certainly miss. I’d also like to thank the BeekmanGroup, who generously sponsored my accommodation for the 2012 and 2013 Media24 LegendsAwards in Cape Town. I hope I left my mark on theFever product and that I leave the sports editorialdepartmentinabettersituationthanwhatIfoundit in.
