TWO Escombe residents appeared in thePinetown Magistrate’s Court last weekfacing 18 counts of animal cruelty afterthe Kloof and Highway SPCA confiscated17 dogs, four cats, two pigs, two rats, twosnakes and one mouse from their homein November.

These animals were removed in termsof the Animals Protection Act.

According to SPCA inspectorate man-ager Cheri Cooke, on the 5 November 2014the Kloof and Highway SPCA confiscated28 animals in Escombe.

She said the animals were found to beliving in dirty and parasitic conditions.They had no access to water, the dogs andcats were infested with external and in-ternal parasites and a number of the ani-mals were in urgent need of veterinaryattention.

“StaffmembersoftheKloofandHigh-way SPCA were appalled and shocked atthe living conditions in which the animalswere kept inside the small rented house.

Some animals were kept in closed roomsand the two pigs were found under a chaircovered with dirty laundry in a bedroom,”she said.

“The inspectors immediately gave alltheanimalswater.Whenthelandlordwascontacted he told us that the occupant ofthe property is Dianne Ingram, the sameperson who is currently being prosecutedby the Durban and Coast SPCA for cruelty

to animals. The Durban and Coast SPCAconfiscated 25 animals from a propertyoccupied by Dianne Ingram in November2013.”

Cooke said that in May 2013 the Kloofand Highway SPCA removed 20 animalsfrom a property Dianne Ingram was resid-ing at in Drummond.

The same contraventions of the Ani-mals Protection Act were cited in both

cases. However at the court case lastweek, Ingram appointed a new attorneyand she asked for time to review the case.

The other accused John Slabbertasked for legal aid to be appointed forhimself and this will be done on 6 March2015.

The state advised the court that anup to date schedule of costs incurred bythe Kloof and Highway SPCA will be pre-sented on 6 March 2015.

Barbara Patrick thanked the commu-nityfortheirsupportandensuredthatjus-tice will be served.

Cooke added: “As the SPCA we will doanything to prevent any more animalssuffering at the hands of Dianne Ingram.I appeal to members of the public to re-port cases of animal hoarding and crueltyto animals to the SPCA.

She also thanked the community fortheir assistance.

“I would like to thank members ofthe public who make a difference to ani-mal’s lives by reporting cruelty to theSPCA, all complaints are investigated andkept anonymous,” she added.

ONE of the common emergenciesseen at veterinary hospitals is bloat-ing - with an abdomen-tummy so bigthe dog will battle to breathe or caneven be collapsed or dead when theowners bring them in.

Oneofpossible causes forbloatingis a condition called dilated gastricvolvulus. What happens is the stom-ach is so fillwithgasor food that it en-larges and actually twists around its

own axis. When this happens, theblood supply to many organs are oc-cluded, as well as the outlet for thefood or gas in the stomach- resultingin even more bloating occurring.

Over a short time period the dogcan go into toxic shock and die.

The underlyingcausesforbloatingaremainly dietary related, as well ascertain breeds that aremore suscep-tible - the so-called deep-chested

breedssuchasGreatDanes,Rottweil-ers, German Shepherds, BassetHounds, Rhodesian Ridgebacks,Weimeraners, St Bernards.Tips and hints to avoid GDV:-• Feed your pet twice per day insteadof once- to reduce the amount of foodin the stomach at one time• Feedonlygoodqualitydog foodandnot the leftovers from dinner whichFidomaynotbeabletodigest–thefer-

mentation in stomach will producegas• Never exercise or allow your dog tobe active after a meal• Consider preventative surgery toprevent the stomach twisting in thedeep chested breeds- called gas-tropexy• Seekveterinaryassistanceimmedi-ately - thesepets candiewithorwith-out treatment.

I thought with the start of the new year anew season of everything would be forth-coming, considering I understand, that anew contract with our internationalsupplier is signed every year (I do however,stand corrected).

Not so it seems as our options are reallysad at the moment.

Sally Lipswich,

Can’t blame apartheid

WE were incredulous when PresidentJacob Zuma stated that the currentblackouts are due to apartheid.

We thought theCEOofEskomTshedisoMa-tona probably got it right when he saidinnouncertainamanner thatEskom’s failingswere due to a lack of maintenance over theyears.

We were disconcerted when possibly themost effective communicator of recent years,Andrew Etzinger, had his tongue stilled be-cause his fluent explanations became unac-ceptable to the ruling party.

At a time when our daily visits of stage twoblackouts are punctuated by an incidentwhenEskom passed through the threshold of thirdstage blackouts, howworried shouldwe be bythe bland assurance from the utility that thereisnottheslightestpossibilityofatotalblackout.

IfourfiguresarecorrectEskomhasagener-ating capacity of about 9000 megawatts.

When stage three is reached the utility haslost 4000 megawatts and when it is breacheda national blackout is not far down theroad.

The five years’ delays in the commissioningof Medupi and Kusile Power Stations has seenthe original budget of R150 billion jump up toR326 billion.

Togetherwith themonthly cost ofR2 billionfor diesel this will push Eskom’s interest pay-ments into the stratosphere.

Apieceof legislationwhichwouldbring im-mediate relief and which would enable inde-pendentpowerproducerstostrengthenthena-

tional grid has been rejected by the NEC of theANC where political will eats away the abilityof the economy to grow.

ThisrulingfromLuthuliHousehasbeendu-ly acceptedby thebloated topbrass of theutili-ty, many of whom owe their positions to beingwellconnectedpolitically,ratherthanknowingmuch about management and the generationof electricity.

On the one side there is an impossibly highwage bill where the average yearly income ofsome 46 000 employees if R633 000 a year orR53 000 a month.

Who would not like to work at Eskom withthe retired CEO, Brian Dames, taking homeR22 million last year.

On the other side there is a patent inabilityto generate income by selling its product. Theeight metros, seven of which are run down bythe ANC, owe Eskom R53 billion.

The total figure forallmunicipalities runsatR93 billion. Soweto alone owes Eskom R4 bil-lion, but the ANC is unlikely to take any actionwith themetro andmunicipal elections takingplace early next yearwith their position falter-ing badly already.

When the weak and failing president of asharply divided ANC drives to parliament onThursdaynighthewillbegreetedwitha21-gunsalute.

However, as he enters he will not knowwhetherthelightswillgoout,orwhetherhewillbeallowed toaddress thenationwithout inter-ruption.

NETVENDOR is the ultimate internet basedprepaid water and electricity token systemwhich is taking the Upper Highway Area bystorm.

Started in 2004 this “electricity and waterrevenue management and vending solution”,isthebrainchildof46yearoldHillcrestresidentDennis Ellerman.

“Iworked in theprepaidelectricity industryfor over 25 years, and in 2004 I decided tolaunch my own ‘brand’,” said Ellerman.

He said that netVendor ultimately is an in-ternet-based, prepaid electricity and waterrevenue management and vending solutionthatmanages the financial switching of funds,the distribution of top up vouchers and meterrelated information.

“Thisultimatelyallows tenantsorwhomev-er isusing thewaterandelectricity to, buypre-

paidwater andelectricity tokens throughava-riety of avenues: on their cell phone, via the in-ternet, throughATMs,orphysicallyatEasyPayoutlets like Pick n Pay, Shoprite Checkers aswell as Unipin outlets such as Spar,” he said.

Hesaid thatasuserspurchase tokens,bankswitching takes place where netVendor re-ceives fundsandthentransfers these to therel-evant body corporate at the end of eachmonthto settle the municipal bill.

Ellerman says that in this day and age, pre-paid electricity is the way to go and has beensuccessful country-wide.

“People can be more interactive with theirusageandknowhowmuchelectricity orwaterthey are using for the month.”

Other benefits that Ellerman pointed outare: “For landlords, it avoids tenants runningupcostlybillsandleavingthelandlordswithex-orbitant arrears to dealwith. Furthermore thesupply of electricity to the tenants can be con-trolled,” he said.

He said that if the tenant does not pay theirrental, their next token purchase will be “re-stricted” - “This is a legal process andwe haveattorneys tobackusuponsuchcases,”he said.

Ellerman said that the benefits for the ten-antsarethattheyarenotbeingoverchargedforelectricityas theyareable tomonitor theircon-sumption by checking the easy-to-read moni-tor and adjusting their consumption accord-ingly.

They are also able to budget in advance sothat there are no surprise bills at the end of themonth.

The father of three says that netVendor ispassionate about what they do and ways inwhich they can help the community. He enjoyshelping those in need and attends a localchurch in Hillcrest.

“It is not about what we do, it is about howwe do it,” he said.

Ellerman also enjoys flying and is vying forhis helicopter licence this year.

Nissan goes Stealth: NP200 LTD for SA>> A SUV to suitevery driversneed

NISSAN is celebrating its NP200 asa market leader in South Africa’ssub one-ton segment with a spe-cial-edition bakkie called Stealth.

As its name suggests, theStealth has a black themewith dark decals and cos-

metic enhancementsthroughout. It’s being put

together at Nissan’s Ross-lyn factory in Gauteng.

The bakkie has air-con, anti-lock brakes,two air bags, dark-greypaint, a black grille barand a flush-fitting load-bed cover.

It has black alloy rimswith red accents, darkside and rear Stealth de-cals and tinted smash-

and-grab film on the win-dows. There’s also daytime

running lights and central locking.An Alpine radio, with Bluetooth and

USB connectivity, is standard, alongwith leather seats with contrast stitch-ing and Stealth-embroidered logos. Thelogo is repeated on the carpet.

Nissan celebrated its NP200’s bestyear yet in 2014 with 17 412 units sold,reports the National Association of Au-tomobile Manufacturers. A spokesmansaid: “In 2014 the NP200 Loaded Special

Edition was a big success but for 2015 wechallenged our design and engineeringteam to push the boundaries.

“The result is the NP200 Stealth, apick-upwebelievewillbeevenmoresuc-cessful, especially because it representssignificant value and the quality of fac-tory fitment.”

SOUTH Korean automaker Hyundai hasstarted production at its first assembly fac-tory in South Africa, initially building medi-um-sized commercial trucks, reports the au-tomaker.

Hyundai SA’s general manager of corpo-rate communications, Deon Sonnekus, saidits factory in Benoni, Gauteng has been as-sembling trucks since July 2014, ahead of aformal launch in September 2014.

Sonnekus said: “This is the first time thatHyundai has set up an assembly plant inSouth Africa.” He adds that the automakerexpects to also assemble pick-up trucks in2015.

“The opening of this assembly plantforms an ideal platform from which tostrengthen our business strategy, both interms of commercial market growth andsustainability, as well as an increasing com-mitment and investment in the South Afri-can economy,” says Wade Griffin, director ofcommercial vehicles at Hyundai Automo-tive SA.

“We believe that there are strong oppor-

tunities through investment and local as-sembly to capitalise on for our business. Thissubstantial investment will also help to im-prove local skills and to create jobs in aneconomy that is in dire need of such oppor-tunities.”

South Africa is the continent’s leading

automotive manufacturer and aims to build1.2 million vehicles by 2020.

However, labour strikes and slowing eco-nomic growth in recent months have curbedoutput at the local factories of some of theworld’s top automakers including Ford, To-yota and BMW. – Wheels24.
