With temperatures reaching the upper 30s over the past week, city offi cials, including sen-ior managers, felt a heat of a dif-ferent kind as city councillors grilled them over which of the seven municipal swimming pools were in fact operational. All city pools were supposed to open for the new summer season on 1 Sep-tember but as of this week, all pools, except for Buchanan and Alexandra baths, were still closed.

At a tense meeting of the Com-munity Services Portfolio Com-mittee on Tuesday, irate coun-cillors issued municipal offi cials with an ultimatum to have at least six of the citys seven swimming pools operational by the weekend and open to the public.

DA Councillor Mergen Chetty slammed what he described as a misleading committee report dated 20 September which listed the status of all pools except for

the Hoosen Haffejee (Berg) Street swimming bath as operational. Chetty told the meeting he would resign if he were to immediately visit the pools and fi nd they were all open for business.

The failure to open the pools on time has left the portfolio com-mittee members with egg on their faces as they had visited the swim-ming pool facilities in August and were assured that all pools, with the exception of the Hoosen Haffejee (Berg) Street pool which requires particularly costly repairs, would be open for the new sea-son. The total cost of repairs to and maintenance for all swim-ming pools has been budgeted at R750,000.

A highly agitated Chetty expressed frustration over the actions of offi cials at the meet-ing, who included pool manager for recreation Thomas Roux, and process manager for community development Mandla Zuma, say-

ing he had been inundated with calls from public since 1 Septem-ber. For more than three years now the problem of swimming pools has been a recurring saga. This is really frustrating and I have sympathy with the residents who have been enquiring about the status of swimming pools, said Chetty. Chetty urged deputy municipal manager for community services, Sipho Dubazane, who took offi ce in August, to ensure that the pools are in working order by the weekend.Chetty said that the failure to deal with the condi-tion of pools was a poor refl ection on council offi cials. Our children are being deprived of aspiring to be Olympians as the city has failed to open these facilities time-ously, he added.

The state of swimming pools has been an ongoing challenge for Msunduzi. In the past, Public Eye received complaints about the status of the Olympic swimming

pool in Northdale, which, it was alleged, offi cials were using for private parties. A pool minder was also alleged to be drunk on duty.

Chairperson of the portfolio committee Inderjit Munilal called for the offi cials to put their house

in order. Its time for offi cials to stand up and be counted for their actions. Its important to make sure that all pools are open. They should take full responsibility for their actions, said Munilal.

Councillors lash officials over poolsUltimatum: Open pools by the weekend!

The second member of the infamous Glen-wood taxi hijacking duo that was caught in action on the metered cabs surveillance cam-era will be making his appear-ance today at the Pietermaritzburg Magistrates Court.

A 29-year-old sus-pect, whose name is known to Public Eye, was arrested in the early hours of Tuesday morn-ing at his home in Tam-boville. Investigating offi cer Warrant Offi -cer Ashok Baldowu and his team made the arrest as news fi ltered through to them about the mans plans to fl ee to Botswana.

The man and his co-accused, Kevin Saunders, allegedly organised and committed the hijacking of the metered taxi driver in Glenwood three weeks ago. Pub-lic Eye published stills of the foot-age which, accord-ing to the police, helped in track-ing them down. An offi cer close to the case said that Saunders and his buddies would drink at a local tav-ern in Glenwood where they would plan their hijack-ings. It seems that

Saunders is the ringleader and would get any of his drinking bud-dies to accompany him on his escapades, said the offi cer.

According to SAPS, Saunders has been involved in four metered taxi hijackings in the Glenwood area and will also be appearing in

the Pietermaritzburg Magistrates Court this week.

Baldowu commended his team consisting of Warrant Offi cer Vusi Shabangu, Warrant Offi cer Shaun Naidoo, Constable Collin Sosibo and Constable Kulekani Mzolo on their excellent work.

MY MARRIAGE WAS SAVED

thanks to SHERI

RAMILLAH - 48 HiltonI was referred to Sheri by a priest after trying so many people who were not able to help. My husband had left me for another woman after 12 years of marriage. Sheri charged me R100 to read my fortune. She prayed for me and soon afterwards my husband

called me and we renewed our vows again after I was help by Sheri.

There is no way I can thank her other than telling the whole world about her.

SUCCESS STORY

In response to the anti-Mus-lim fi lm, The Innocence of Muslims, the Muslim com-munity of Pietermaritzburg staged a protest march from the Soofi Mosque in East Street to the offi ce of the Premier to present a memo-randum last Friday.

The organised protest march led by Mohamed Saeed of Pieter-maritzburg saw just over 100 Pie-termaritzburg Muslims, including children and pupils of Niza-mia School, making their way through the streets. The movie is very insulting to our culture and our beliefs. A higher power

must remove the movie from YouTube, said one of the protes-tors, Mohamed Enayath. The march organisers said the fi lm portrays a disgracefully distorted image of Muslims and the mem-orandum presented stated that the movie trauma-tised, vio-lated and depressed every believing Muslim.

A Northdale family believes that a neigh-bour has a vendetta against them following three suc-cessive attacks by his dog against various family members.

Mohammed Khan (21) of Nag-pur Road in Northdale was mauled on his face, allegedly by his neigh-bours dog, when he tried jump-ing over his back yard wall to get on to the road on a recent Sunday. The dog owner then chased after him with a sword, he says.

Khan said as he was trying to jump over his wall the dog jumped up and bit him on the nose. The injury to Khans nose required about 15 stitches. When I called the owner and told him that his dog had bitten me he [the owner] started shouting at me and used vulgar terms. He was so furious at me, it was as if I had bitten his dog, said Khan. The dog owner then chased after him brandishing a sword and he had to run to his aunts house, said Khan. His aunt then brought him back home and called his mother, Ranie Scheffer.

When I arrived I saw that my son was bitten very badly and when I confronted my neighbour, his wife started picking me out. Yes, I do have a past and my life is an open book, said Scheffer.

However the dogs owner, Tony Swaminathan, strongly dis-agrees with the series of events ad depicted by the Khans. According to Swaminathan, a 1.8 metre fence separates the two properties.

The only way my dog would be able to bite someone is if that person is climbing my fence or putting their face through the

fence, he said.Owner of fi ve dogs, Swamina-

than said that his dogs are there to protect his home and family and thats probably what the dog was doing.

When Public Eye visited Khan he was in bed with a disfi gured nose and was visibly in pain.

Khan said he received 10-15 stitches on his nose and will need plastic surgery to address the scar-ring.

My son is not the fi rst mem-ber of the family to fall victim to this dog, he is actually the third, said Scheffer. Family members believe that the neighbour uses his dog has a weapon to settle scores with them.

Other family members who have allegedly been attacked include Scheffers baby whose fi n-ger was bitten in February and her

sisters son in-law, Ricky Phillips, who was bitten in March.

Swaminathans wife said: Ricky was not bitten by any of my dogs; he was drunk and said nasty things to my 16-year-old daughter and I slapped him for that, said the woman.

She said the dog that had bit-ten the baby was a female dog and not the same dog that allegedly attacked Khan.

The baby was poking the dog with his fi nger through the fence and that is why the dog bit him.

She added that her husband did not chase Khan and that it was Khan who was brandishing a bush knife.

According to Swaminathan, the matter is with the National Pros-ecution Authority (NPA) which is still awaiting medical reports from the Khan family.

He Showed Me My Enemies Live In A Mirror

MRS. SHIRUI rst met this powerful man nine years

ago. Before then I had tried many people and spent a lot of money for nothing.

Happiness was rare in my life. My wife & I had no children. We were always sick & my business was not doing so well. I saw on a T.V programme, jotted his number& booked an appointment. He charged me

a R100 to read my fortune. I was shocked when he touched on every detail about me without me saying anything. He showed me faces of people who were putting me down,

cleansed me & cast a spell for my wife to get pregnant. Today we have 2 beautiful

children. My business grew, I got a contract & my enemies apologized & confessed to me. Theres no amount of words to thank

him, rather than telling everyone about him. Since than I regard him as my guide.

The African National Congress (ANC) in KwaZulu-Natal and its alliance partners have embarked on a campaign to highlight the achieve-ments of our government.

We are doing this because we have noted with severe concern that there are people who misleadingly inform the public that our government is failing.

When the ANC government took over in 1994, it inherited massive service delivery backlogs caused by the apartheid regimes years of deliberate neglect of certain sec-tions of the society.

In the past 19 years, we have trans-formed the State through creating new insti-tutions and more importantly building a democratic society. We also dismantled the apartheid regimes legal framework and that has enabled us to change the socio-eco-nomic conditions of millions of people.

The ANC government has achieved an enormous amount in terms of electrifi ca-tion, house building, water provision and the much needed infrastructure such as roads, schools and public health institu-tions.

It is worth mentioning that South Africa is measured well in the equality of eco-nomic institutions such as intellectual prop-

erty protection, property rights, account-ability of private institutions, good market effi ciency.

It is also ranked fi rst in strength of audit-ing and reporting standards, in effi cacy of corporate boards, ranked second in protec-tion of minority shareholders and tenth in investor protection.

Although the ANC government has made extensive progress since 1994, we are mind-ful of the fact that the country still faces socio-economic challenges that have to be tackled. That is why the National Planning Commission crafted a clear national devel-opment plan which we believe will stimu-late growth thus creating much-needed jobs.

We are also confi dent that the massive infrastructure development plans announced by

President Jacob Zuma early this year will help our country to industrialise and deal with the triple challenge of unemployment, poverty and inequality.

The ANC-led government has also done the following: Government has built 3 million homes 3,5 million homes electrifi ed Government has reduced mother to child

HIV transmission Government has reduced HIV transmis-

sions Spends R90 billion on social grants Millions of learners dont pay school

fees Thousands of students receive tertiary fi nancial aid

Government has reduced crime rate Government has improved access to

healthcare Government has built schools and roads Crafted a national development plan

The media is invited to join us in a march to highlight these achievements. The mem-orandum will be handed over to Collins Chabane, the Minister in the Presidency responsible for performance and evaluation, KwaZulu-Natal Premier Dr Zweli Mkhize and Jeff Radebe, the Minister of Justice and Constitutional Development.

The march will take place as follows:Date: 5 October 2012Venue: Starts at Dales Park (Pietermaritz-

burg) and will proceed to the LegislatureTime: 9 am.

On 19 September my parents had a terrible experience at Northdale Hospital.I rushed my dad to casu-alty at 6.45 pm as he had uncon-trollable pain in his left hand. I dropped him off with my mother as I had errands to attend to.

When I returned at 10.15 pm, my dad had still not been seen to. I returned home at 12.15 am as I had to go to work and needed to sleep.

At 2 am my dad could not man-age the pain any longer so my mother went to ask why no one was attending to him. On entering the doctors room my mom found the doctor reading the paper. My mother was very upset and con-

fronted the doctors. Thereafter they immediately called my father and examined him.

At 6 am they were still in casu-alty and my father had X-rays and blood tests done and the doctors had him on an ECG machine. My mother had to take the taxi home because I was going to work and my mother needed to be with my children.

My dad fi nished at the hospital at 11 am. He is diabetic and had not eaten for the 16 hours that he was in casualty.

Just because Northdale Hospi-tal is a government hospital does not give the staff the right to treat patients unfairly. Chantal Chetty

My mum was rushed to Northdale Hos-pital on 22 Septem-ber. She needed to use the toilet in the casualty department. What she found there was a pool of urine, soiled sanitary towels on the fl oor and faeces all over the pan. Do people know how to use a toilet? Does the hospital have cleaners at night?

Do staff members check on this? Yes, please also educate peo-ple on how to use the toilet. My poor mum had to wait until we got home

letters to the editor

I would like to place on record my sincere appreciation to all those lit-tle children, women and men who braved the rain and protested peacefully and with graceful integrity against the insult-ing of Almighty Gods prophets. We all can truly make a difference through peaceful, practical and productive action.

As Muslims, we have a religious com-mand and responsibility to uphold truth and justice and fi ght against inequalities, imbal-ances and oppression. The central Islamic principle of enjoining good and forbidding evil should be the innermost part of our mis-sion and purpose in life.

Moral integrity is an essential part of the Muslim identity and is the personifi cation of an educated and refi ned human being. It is an important tool towards social cohesion,

social reconstruction and peaceful coexis-tence.

In order to fi ght against Islamophobia, anti-Islam vitriole and other negative por-trayals of

Islam, Muslims need to voice their opin-ions and handle provocations constructively by engaging the mass media and using the correct channels like the judicial systems. We need to use existing laws against Holo-caust denial and hate speech laws as an outline to initiate discussion and debate about the freedom of free speech and its limits.

The success of the protest march was due in large part to the children who con-veyed the necessary information to their parents and to the Public Eye for publish-ing the invite to the event.

I am confi dent that in the crucial chal-lenges ahead in eradicating ignorance, extremism and violence, the true image of Islam will receive the fullest support of the Public Eye and of all conscience-driven individuals around the globe.

We can make a difference, peacefully

The Juran Raman case is still car-rying on. What has happened to justice? Judges are giving fi nes and letting the

accused relocate and carry on with his life while Jurans family are waiting painfully for a sentence.

Come on, people. Lets fi ght for the rights of all people who have been robbed of their lives by people who want to play God. May God bless all the families who are grieving the loss of some one.
