the municipality, which had once stared bank-ruptcy intheface,wasbackonits feet, financial-ly stable and had savings in the bank.Among the highlights in his speech, he spokeof:• A fraud and corruption hotline being launched;• Massive electrification projects;
• R250 million spending on infrastructure maintenance, and;• A drive to clean up the city.
But he also listed traffic gridlocks, illegalelectricity connections and non-payment forservices as amongMsunduzi’s continuing chal-lenges. Ndlela said a key priority was never toreturn to the “murkywaters”, of 2008when themunicipality went under administration.

The influx of foreigners enteringSouth Africa can become a recipe fordisaster if left unchecked.
Many do not have properdocumentation, casting doubt ontheir presence in South Africa.
Not so long ago, a suspect in theNigerian mall attack, MrsBraitwaithe code name the “whitewidow”, was alleged to have beeninstrumental in planning the attackfrom South African soil. It is alsoalleged that she is an alQaedaoperative.
She was in possession of a falseidentity document which onceagain highlights the issue of fraudand corruption. This country canvery easily be used as a springboardfor terrorist groups.
Recently, 12 pupils in a northernKwaZuluNatal school were foundto be at school without the consentof their parents.
The instructor and five othermen were taken into custody. Whatwere the intention of these men?
Were they trying to indoctrinateor brainwash these pupils to
become suicide bombers? Whywere they in such an isolated part ofthe province?
This can be termed speculationor mere paranoia, but with terroristattacks globally and in Africa, wecannot become complacent inSouth Africa.
A house in the leafy suburb ofKloof was raided by police whofound 10 tons of mandrax with astreet value of three billion rands.Two chinese men, understood to bespecialist chemists, were remandedin custody. Foreigners implicated inillicit activities need to be severelydealt with. They must be charged,sentenced and sent back to theircountry of origin.
South Africa must not be seen asa lame duck when dealing withtransgressions of our laws.
Vigilance and awareness isimperative to make sure our countryis not destabilised by foreigners whohave nothing to lose

Dealing with foreigners
THE Msunduzi Municipalityhasfailedtoattendtoitscorefunction of managing the
city’s infrastructure and servicedelivery priorities, but sees it fit tobe a guarantor of a sponsorship ofR36m over three years toMaritzburg United.
Professional football is abusinessperse,andsince2003theteamof choice have failed to find awinning combination and remainwithout a sponsor. In its wisdom,our municipality comes toextricate a battling business.
A council report for considera-tion on 25 June suggests that themayor and municipal managerapproach the stakeholdersmentioned to become partners,however the report in the mediacreates the impression the deal issealed?
In exchange for theR12millionannual sponsorship, the team ofchoice will give the city one RDPhouse for every year of sponsor-
ship.By any measure this is offside.Professional sports develop-
ment is important as the benefitsare numerous, however when atthe expense of a municipality’score business, then there is aneedto worry. Ratepayers’ money isbeing used to guarantorprofessional football but thepremier’s office will be accounta-ble to answer all queries.
This is a serious anomaly - myrates are being used to back foot-ballandtheaccountingmunicipal-ity sees it fit to direct me to thePremier for queries.
The historic Berg Street pool isinneedof renovations.Annually itis ignored, but the magic wand iswaved by the mayor and millionsappear for football?
What next - Msunduzi will forkoutmy rates to sponsor horse rac-ing?

MARGARET MCCULLOUGH
INSouthAfrica, thereisanAct,namely the IntestateSuccession Act 81 of 1987,
whichregulateshowtheestateofa person who dies without a willis dealt with.
Your marital regime alsomakesadifferenceastohowyourestate will devolve upon yourdeath.
If you are married out ofcommunity of property, yourassets and liabilities are yourown.
However if you aremarried incommunity of property, you havea joint estate with your survivingspouse, and you share all yourassets and liabilities.
When you are married incommunity of property, yoursurviving spouse, by operation oflaw, receives an undivided halfshare of the joint estate beforeyour estate is divided amongstyourheirs, either in termsof yourwill, or in terms of the laws ofintestate succession where youhave died without a will.
That means, that where thedeceased was married, thesurviving spouse is entitled toR125 000.00 or a child’s share,whichever is the greater.
So for example, if you diewithout a will and you aremarried out of community ofproperty with two children andanestateworthR900000.00yourestate will devolve as follows:->> your spouse will receiveR300 000.00 (as this is a child’s shareand is greater that R125 000.00)>> each of your children will receiveR300 00.00.If on the same facts you die withouta will, but you are married incommunity of property, your estatewill devolve as follows:>> your spouse will receive anundivided half share of the estate byvirtue of your spouse’s marriage incommunity of property to you, namelyR450 000.00>> the remaining R450 000.00will devolve as follows:-
• your spouse will receiveR150 000.00 (as this is a child’s shareand is greater than R125 000)
• each of your children will receive
R150 000.00If you are married according to
African customary laws and you havemore than one spouse, each spouse isentitled to a R125 000.00 or a child’share of your estate, whichever is thegreater, upon your death.
As can be seen from the aboveexamples, dying without a willmeans that the law dictates howyour estate must devolve.
Whilst there are certain basicprinciples which apply even ifyou have a will, you can ensurethat your intentions are madeclear in your will as to howyourequireyourestate todevolveupon your death. When you diewithout a will you also lose theopportunity of appointing anexecutor, (an executor is theperson who administers yourestate), a trustee (if a testamenta-ry trust is created in termsof yourwill), and a guardian for yourchildren. Should you require anyfurther advice, alternativelyshould you require a will to bedrawn up, contact MargaretMcCullough at 033 845 9700 forassistance.

LexusES350,GS,LSandRXall receivedthehighest scores for dependability and quality inthe survey.
The J.D. PowerVehicleDependability Studymeasures problems experienced during thepast12monthsbytheoriginalownersof three-year-oldvehicles(carsbuilt in2011)across202different areas of the vehicle.
A vehicle’s overall reliability is determinedby the number of problems experienced per100 vehicles, with the lowest score indicatingthe greatest reliability.

“Vehicle dependability has been a strengthofLexussince itcameontothemarket,andthisyear is no exception,” Mr Sargent said.

SINCE its launch in 2010, the VW Polo hatch hasconsistently been the second bestsellingpassenger car in South Africa.
The new Polo has been enhanced both visuallyand technically. The driver assistance and infotainment systems as well as the new TSI engines and theaward winning DSG gearbox, have taken the new Poloto another level. Thanks to these TSI engines, the newPolo’s fuel economy has been improved by as muchas 20%.
Visually, the new Polo can be identified by asharper front and rear design. In addition, the newmodel introduces fresh colours, new interior materialsand new specifications. The new Polo now comes inthree equipment levels: Trendline, Comfortline andHighline. Customers who want a Polo with rugged butsporty looks can opt for the CrossPolo.
Assistance systems that are traditionally associated with cars found in upper segments have foundtheir way into the new Polo. For example, the Polois the first vehicle in its class to include an automaticpostcollision braking system, which automaticallyinitiates braking once it has been in an accident, inorder to prevent a subsequent collision.
The radio has been upgraded to a modularinfotainment system. Depending on the equipmentlevel,this includefunctionssuchasbluetoothconnectivity and a proximity sensor.
This sophisticated design of the Polo has nowbeen made even more precise, and the newly designed headlights and tail lights have their very owncharisma. The new Polo has been launched with fuelefficient TSI engines. Initially only the fourcylinder1.2 TSI engines are available, with power outputs of66kW and 81kW.
The entrylevel derivative’s TSI engine delivers anoutput of 66kW at 4 800rpm. The claimed combinedfuel consumption of this engine is as low as4.9l/100km. This engine is mated to a fivespeedmanual transmission, and is available with theTrendline and Comfortline derivatives.
The higher specification model is the 1.2 TSI, whichdelivers an output of 81kW at 5 000rpm, and attainsa fuel consumption value of 5.1 l/100km. The 81kWengine is available in the Highline derivatives as wellas the CrossPolo.
An extra safety feature, known as the Driver Alertsystem, is standard in Highline derivatives. It detectswhen a driver’s concentration begins to wane, andemits an acoustic sound, while a message appears inthe instrument cluster recommending a break fromdriving.
The new Polo comes standard with a 3 year/45000km Service Plan, 3 year/120 000km warranty anda 12 year anticorrosion warranty. Service interval is15 000km.
The new VW polo boasts sharper lines andgreater sophistication.

TECH TALKMicrosoft orApple?These twocompanieshavebeencompetitors in theindustry for a very long time.
The leader of the two, Microsoft, has been ahead of Apple from thestart, yet we are still sporadically faced with the decision between thetwo.
Let’s clear up, in short, whyMicrosoft and PC’s are the way forwardin today’s industry.
Iwill be touchingonpoints regardingMicrosoftWindowsvs thevari-ous versions of Mac OS.
First of all, Windows provides an unmatched flexibility betweenhardware and software requirements. With the latest software alwaysbeing built to match high industry standards and to support the latestcutting edge hardware releases, Windows has become the standard ofmost businesses.Whilst we touch on the subject of flexibility,Windowshas the best support for older hardware and software by far.
With built-in features like CompatibilityMode, and the built-in .NETframeworks,olderapplicationscanrunwithoutahitch.Oneof themostcommon things I hear is regarding the look of AppleMac computers vsthe look of Windows based PC’s.
For thosewhohave exceptionally high standards regarding the lookand feel of your equipment, do yourself a favour and take a look at theIntel based Ultrabooks.
The last point I would like to quicklymake, is regarding the support.EspeciallyinSouthAfrica-Applesupportisalmostnon-existent,howev-er there is always aMicrosoft based shop/repair-centrewithinwalkingdistance of where you are.

A GROUP of 300 gifted youngcricketers from KZN, Gauteng,Border, Griqualand West andWestern Province have taken to thefields of Hilton College for the 2014Sunfoil Township Tournament, nowin its seventh year.
Thetournamentisakeyelementofa successful developmentprogramme run by the Kwazulu-Natal Cricket Union (KZNCU) andWillowton Group, manufacturers ofSunfoil cooking oil, to give disadvan-taged youngsters the opportunity tocompeteagainstotherqualityplayersin match conditions to boost theirskills and confidence.
The ultimate goal of all players isto be selected for the elite Sunfoildevelopment team which will beannounced at the end of thetournament.
“Thisyear’s tournamentpromisesa higher standard of play than everbefore,” said Linda Zondi, theKZNCU’s Township DevelopmentManager.
The format remains the same.Twenty-four teamsmade up of 12
Under-19 and 12Under-15 sideswillplay 49 matches, with 20 overs permatch.
“We have introduced somechanges. We will be playing on two
fields this year instead of one.“We have also invited a fourth
province fromoutsideKZNtopartici-pate. GriqualandWestwillbe joiningGauteng, Border and WesternProvince in bringing one Under-15and one Under-19 team each to thetournament,” said Zondi.
Shoaib Moosa, Sales andMarketing Director of WillowtonGroupsaidthatTheSunfoilTownshipCricket programme is inspiringyoung cricketers to develop a love forthe sport.
“There is no doubt that we areseeing an increasing generalawareness of the sport in thetownships, alongwith an ever-grow-ingenthusiasmforthegameamongstdisadvantaged youngsters as a resultof our development partnershipwiththe KZNCU,” Moosa said.
Moosa and Zondi believe that theannual Sunfoil TownshipTournament has been amajor factorin the success of the 55 townshipteams playing in the Durban andDistrict Cricket Union league in the2013/14 season.
“We were delighted to see five of
the teams win their league.“Our kids are scoring runs and
taking wickets. Now, when they playleague games, they play to win.Before, theywent out to playwith theattitude that they would be beaten,”said Zondi.
Two of the township players havealso been accepted into the SuncoastCricket Academy which is thetraining ground for the Dolphins Bteam.
“Itisalsorewardingtoseethatfourtownship girls were chosen torepresent KZN provincial Under-19team last year,” Zondi said.
Apart from the 300 players takingpart in the Sunfoil TownshipTournament, there is a workingcommittee of almost 150 people whoscore and coach, selectors, umpiresall of whom will be staying at HiltonCollege’s world class facilities thisweek.
The tournament is an excellentopportunity forplayers togainmatchawareness and enhance theirperformance. But it also gives coach-es the opportunity to improve theirskills, Zondi believes.
