CASH TILLSringing up asweet tune>> Stores report good sales for festive season thus far

MERVYN KRISHNA

WITH Christmas just a fewdays away, early indica-tions are that KwaDukuza

residents are gearing up for a festivecelebration.

Cash tills are ringing up a sweettune as most stores also enjoy abumper season.

Stanger SuperSpar, Checkers andBoxer Cash and Carry are some ofthe stores reporting favourablesales.

While the festive season mood isdefinitely bringing up the cheer, theKwaDukuza SAPS and the KwaDu-kuza traffic department are caution-ing people to enjoy themselves re-sponsibly.

Motorists are encouraged to drivesafely and arrive alive.

KwaDukuza assistant director fortraffic, Johnny Moodley, warneddrunken drivers that they will beshown no mercy.

“Offenders will spend Christmasand New Year’s day in jail whiletheir vehicles will be impounded.”

As visitors and tourists pour intoKwaDukuza, holidaymakers areurged to swim safely at beaches andheed warnings from lifeguards aswell as beach sign posts.

KwaDukuza mayor RicardoMthembu, on behalf of the munici-pal council and staff, extended sea-son’s greetings and best wishes to

the community and guests who arespending time in KwaDukuza.

“For me, Christmas has alwaysbeen a time for family and friends.An opportunity to take time out fromthe usual busyness and bustle of lifeand to spend quality time together,enjoying one another’s company.

“As I write this, I am reminded ofone of my favourite quotes, by PegBracken, which describes those giftswhich are most valuable this season:Gifts of time and love are surely thebasic ingredients of a truly merryChristmas.

“And so, I urge myself, not tostress too much about finding theperfect present, but to focus on giv-ing family and friends the gift of mytime and affections this Christmas. Iurge you to join me in this resolu-tion, and have a truly merry Christ-mas,” the mayor said.

Mthembu added that Christmasmay be a happy time for some butcan be a difficult and lonely time formany people in the community.

“Many families in KwaDukuzaare struggling financially, and soChristmas is more of a burden thana joy, and others find themselvesalone, or missing loved ones whoare no longer here.

“I also encourage you to considerthe way you can share the gifts oftime and love with these people thisChristmas.

“Perhaps by visiting an elderly

neighbour, inviting someone fordinner who would otherwise bealone, or donating food to the poor.And, may you in doing so, have awonderful Christmas.”

ilembe District mayor WelcomeMdabe also wished the people ofiLembe a happy and peaceful Christ-mas along with a safe and prosper-ous New Year.

“For many in our district, it hasbeen a challenging year particularlyfor those affected by the floods, theloss of employment and the econom-ic recession.

“The heartening aspect of theseevents is the capacity that the peopleof iLembe District have in pulling to-gether as a community to help eachother out.

“Christmas is no exception. It is atime of peace and goodwill, whenthe spiritual and cultural messagesstand tall. We are reminded of thetrue Christmas message of humilityand generosity towards each other,”said Mdabe.

The mayor went on to say: “Welive in a district that is vibrant andbeautiful in every respect.

“It is the role of your council tocontinue to make our district saferand more prosperous whilst respect-ing our community.

“I believe 2014 will see the dis-trict move forward and be a placethat you will continue to be proud tolive in and call home,” he said.

PPF pledges to walk like Madiba

NOTHANDO NDLOVU

THEstruggle isnotover, the longwalk continues,” said GreaterKwaDukuza Progressive Pro-

fessionals Forum convener Sthem-biso Kubheka at the NelsonMandelaregional prayer and pledge held atthe KwaDukuza Town Hall onWednesday.

Kubheka asked that people notonly engage about Madiba’s passingthrough social media but, “go outthere and make a difference.”

He urged people to attend PPFmeetings and to make a positivechange in the growth of the country,saying it is not only the mayor, pre-mier or the president’s job to do so.

“We have abdicated our responsi-bility. We need to assist local govern-ment.

“What does your conscience saywhen you see an elderly man orwoman who lives in a shack anddoesn’t have food to eat this Christ-

mas? When are we going to ploughback? We are what we are becauseof them.”

PPF has pledged to “uncompro-misingly” embrace and fulfil all thatis listed in the freedom charter, to

tant to look at leaders likeMadiba fora true definition. He could have ac-cepted the chieftaincy and become achief and a lawyer but he chose tobe greater than that.

GEMINI Motors in KwaDukuza hasgenerously lent KwaDukuza Munici­pality lifeguarding services a vehicle

to help them keep on top of things forthe busy holiday season. Every December/January holiday season for the past eightyears Gemini has assisted the lifeguardswith this offer.

“It is estimated that around 15 000people are out on our nine beaches eachday throughout the holiday season, andour resources are stretched to the limit,”said beach manager Steve Honneysett.

He said every municipal vehicle is be­ing used to patrol the beaches and totransport staff and equipment.

“My company vehicle goes into thepool of these and Gemini has been verygenerous in loaning us one of their vehi­cles,” said Honneysett.

“This time of the year we are the busi­est service on the coast and all eyes areon us, which is a good opportunity for anybusiness to get some good advertisingexposure,” added Honneysett.

The vehicle is on loan for a month

over this period and is used by Honney­sett to visit the beaches each day andgenerally to run equipment where it maybe needed.

The vehicle is covered by the munici­

pality’s insurance against damage.“During the time it is with us we get

questions from the public about the vehi­cle and we hope it has a spin off forsales for Gemini,” said Honneysett.

LEADING UK fashion designer Henry Holland, whohas a heart for art and community, visited art stu­dents from Zilungisele Primary School in KwaDuku­za last week.

Holland first travelled to South Africa in 2012,a year after his friend and international modelAgyness Deyn, visited the RedCap Foundation.

Last year Henry assisted the Foundation byraising much needed funds for the RedCap schoolsarts and dance programme called Iciko.

Through the sales of his limited­edition T­shirtcollaboration with Mr Price , the arts and danceclasses could be refurbished. His sheer delight inseeing the classroom upgrades for the first timecould not be contained.

“I saw so many designers in the art class!” saida delighted Holland, while interacting with thegrade four to seven learners who joined the design­er in creating their own fashion drawings using hisprinted dresses as a base for figurines.

“The creativity of the kids knows no boundsand they’re not constricted in any way, they’rejust so excited by everything,” said Holland.

“It’s so exciting to be back and to see whatthe funds from last year’s project has helped build.I hope that the RedCap Foundation continues itsamazing work in improving the education standardin South African schools, “ added Holland.

Earlier in the year, Mr Price associates from thegraphics, visual merchandising and trend depart­ments all dedicated a full day to paint beautifulmurals to add much needed life and colour into theclassrooms. The humble school hall was trans­formed into a lively music, dance and drama roomand an old classroom into an art centre.

“Arts, drama, dance and music is not such ahigh priority in most low income communityschools so it was wonderful to be a part of creatinga space that allows children to be inspired and cre­ative,” said Mr Price associate Lorraine Parkes.

Hanging out with a group of peo­ple can make us feel comfortable,but is it allowing you to bring

out the “real” you?Sometimes when we hang out or

join a group of friends, we begin to loseour own identity as we adapt to the

group’s identity.

What the “ group” may want todo, isn’t always our plan of action,yet we follow the plan because wewant to belong to that group.

Following friends can sometimeschange our likes, dislikes, habits andresponsibilities, so we have to de­cide where to draw the line.Nobody else can decide how you

can be the best you want to be, be­sides you.

Whether it is a best friend,group of friends or girlfriend orboyfriend, we should still remember our

own identity is important and weshouldn’t just become known as some­body’s friend or somebody’s partner.

To develop your own identity, it isimportant to have a good understand­ing of yourself as a person, know aboutyour personality and character, how tobuild it and improve it and how tobroaden your knowledge by concentrat­ing on hobbies you as a person like, notyour group of friends.Nobody said that spending some quali­

ty time by yourself means that youhave no friends; in fact all of us should

indulge in some “me” time and learnmore about ourselves and our interests.

Some people rate friendships toohighly, which could prove to be theirdownfall, because sometimes friendscan lead you down the wrong path, orinfluence you to such an extent thatyou lose the “real” you in theprocess.

I’m sure there is nothing worse thanhaving someone who you regard as a

“friend” be the one to bring you downand change your whole world around.

Remember in future to always be

yourself and focus on you, becausenobody else in the world has thepower to make or break you, besidesyou.So be yourself, make yourself

strong and always bring out yourbest to deal with everything that lifecan throw at you.

Have a story for me on how youbrought out the best in yourself?

Or how somebody stopped you frombringing out the best in yourself? Email

me at Priya.nunkumar@gmail.com andtell me your story!

NERESH GAYAPERSHAD A bit about

IT’S kind of funny to keepwatching people who wantthings to come easy to them inlife.

Many other people know ofthis tendency among human be-ings, so they keep selling themdiet pills that let them eat what-ever they want, job informationthat will make them rich withno effort, college “degrees” thatrequire no study at all, andmany other “easy” fixes to theirproblems and easy fulfillment oftheir desires.

But over and over againthese people who want the easyways out are disappointed, forwhat they hoped and expectedwould help them, simply has leftthem still faced with their prob-lems and now with a little lessmoney in their pockets.

Saying that “nothing comeseasy” isn’t at all defeatist orcynical.

It’s a fact that’ s been provedover and over in life, as majorscientific breakthroughs comeafter years and years of re-search and hard work; financialstability comes after years ofsacrifice and effort; great mov-ies and albums are made withthe most effort and practice andplanning and preparation.

Colonel Sanders had to visitover 100 restaurants before hesold his recipe for fried chicken,and that came after years ofperfecting that recipe.

Richard Bach received over70 rejections for Jonathan Liv-

ingston Seagull, and that was af-ter all the time and effort it tookhim to write the book.

Thomas Edison, the lightbulb inventor, made over 3000attempts before he finally foundthe perfect formula to invent alight bulb that actually worked!

History is full of examples ofgreat successes and great re-sults after a lot of effort andtime.

There are, of course, the ex-ceptions - those people whohave found success almost im-mediately, with almost no workinvolved. But they truly are theexceptions rather than the rule.

And that type of successrarely is lasting, either.

When we remind ourselvesthat nothing truly worthwhilecomes easy, we can face our ob-stacles and problems remainingcalm and undisturbed, and wecan be much more calm in theface of setbacks.

When we know that it’s go-ing to take time and work toreach a goal, we’ re much morelikely to accept delays as neces-sary elements of the process,and we’re much more likely tosee obstacles as learning oppor-tunities rather than back-break-ers.

Keeping in mind that noth-ing comes easy, we can give ourbest effort because we knowthat it’s that effort - as well asthe time involved - that’s goingto craft a fine finishedproduct.

WEEKLY

NELSON Mandela has departed to join Chief AlbertLuthuli, Oliver Tambo, Lillian Ngoyi, Yusuf Dadooand other warriors who never surrendered princi­

ples, moral values and ethics.Mandela was a member of the league with Luthuli,

Patrice Lumumba, Amilcar Cabral, Augostinoh Neto, Fi­del Castro, Eloef Palmer, Julius Nyerere, Martin LutherKing and Lenin.

While it is important to sing songs to this hero, to writepoems and create slogans around his services to the peo­ple, we must never portray him as a saint, a warning orcaution that Dennis Goldberg, Ahmen Kathrada andGeorge Bizos always remind us of.

Mandela, Walter Sisulu, Govan Mbeki, Matthew Meyi­wa, Zakhele Mdlalose, Wilton Mkwayi spent a long timein jail to set us free.

These accused who were sentenced at different timesby an apartheid state were able to convince the “oldguard” of Luthuli, Moses Kotane, Dadoo, Ismail Meer andothers that the time has come to adopt another tactic,the taking up of arms to defend our people in the sameway Kings Cetshwayo, Bambatha, Sekhukhuni, Mzilikazi,

Moshoeshoe, Hintsa, Luka Jantjie, Galeshewe did before1912.

After the sentencing of Rivonia trialists, Chief Luthulireferred to them as “brave men”. The push for an armedstruggle came mainly from the youth, SACTU and SACPwhich had been banned in 1950 through the Suppressionof Communism Act.

It is under Chief Albert Luthuli that mass struggles likeconsumer boycotts, stay­aways, banning of “dompass­es”, rent boycott, closing down of beer halls and ultimate­ly the Defiance Campaign of 1952.

Mandela was a chief volunteer in the Defiance Cam­paign and became a chief volunteer in the armed as firstchief commander of MK. The mass struggle also gavebirth to SACTU, Congress of Democrats, Coloured Peo­ple’s Congress, Federation of South African Women andthe Freedom Charter.

The triumvirate of Mandela, Sisulu and Tambo wasa layer of leadership to take ANC into new heights. Today,they are the mirror that we use in evaluating the leader­ship that we have today.

Blessed are peace makers. Mandela was militant but

disciplined.Even at the Rivonia trial he did not insult judges. While

he was a lawyer by profession, he was not a theoreticianlike Govan Mbeki, Michael Harmel, Joe Matthews, Slovoand others, he lacked deeper understanding of HIV/AIDSand agenda of pharmaceutical companies whose mainagenda is to profit from this endemic and using Africansas guinea­pigs in research.

As we immortalise Madiba we must understand himin the context of the collective leadership and as an ordi­nary human being who is fallible like me and you. Hepassed on at a time when society battles with many chal­lenges including attack on our moral values. For the pastfour weeks and on the day he passed on, some in the ANCwere throwing stones at the Public Protector like sinnerswho stoned Stephen in the Bible.

They want to create a state of thieves which servicestheir greed than people.

Mandela, a member of the ANC belongs to all of usespecially South Africans who are combatants againstcorruption, sexism, racism and xenophobia.

Siyanda Mhlongo

Remembering Madiba’s legacy

THE DA’s recent support of the Employment EquityBill is a slap in the face for minority groups namelyIndians and Whites.

The Employment Equity Bill that was formulatedsome 20 years ago for the purpose of bringing aboutequity in the workplace, although controversial, hasserved its purpose. Twenty years into democracy,there is no need for such a Bill as employees shouldbe employed according to their knowledge, capabili­ty, experience and expertise.

It is common knowledge to all South Africans thatthe country has lost many talented academics at theworkplace due to being side­lined through the Em­ployment Equity Bill.

Many have immigrated and settled in foreignlands, leaving the country with a shortage of skilledemployees.

Ironically, the ANC imports many professionalsinto South Africa, while our South Africans leave thecountry.

The Employment Equity Bill has robbed many In­dians of job opportunities and ultimately their mone­tary worth.

Many individuals in the workplace are demotivatedas junior employees, who are lesser qualified, becomebosses of long serving experienced employees.

The DA support of the Employment Equity Bill isa clear indication of the lack of understanding of theneeds of the minority communities.

This is one more reason why the Minority Front hasa place in the modern South African democracy. TheMF is the only voice of the minority community.

it was always my sincere passion tomeet Madiba one day, I plead pover­ty that this wish was in vain. But I didhave the honour and privilege of

writing to Mandela andhis administrative sec­retary acknowledgedwith thanks the receiptof my letter.

He also mentionedthat the president hadnoted the content ofmy letter.

I, as an ordinarymember of the Stangerand District Associa­tion for the Aged, hopeto view the film ‘LongWalk to Freedom’ soon,based on life and strug­gle of Madiba. As ashared receiver of theNobel Prize and numer­ous accolades, I admiremost his genuine abilityto forgive and accepthis oppressors.

Dear Madiba, I amsure your good soul willrest in peace continueto protect our countryand its rainbow nation.

THE year started with many talking,with some ‘surprise’, thatwemade itto 2013 (reference to theMayans be-lievingthattheworldwasgoingtoendin 2012).

The year for many has broughttons of successes and good newswhile otherswere on the other end ofthe spectrum.

We, at the Weekly, were proud toshare these emotions with you.

The Weekly saw many changesthis year and we would like to thankyou for graciously welcoming us intoyour homes.

Ourkeyfocusfor2013wastofocusmore on YOU - sharing your experi-ences and stories with otherresidents.

While there are a number of high-lights, personally andasanation, thedeath of former president NelsonMandela has shadowed everythingelse - and rightfully so.

Madibadefinitely leftuswitha leg-acy worth celebrating and the sadnews has united the citizens ofthis country that he loved somuch.

Wishing all a wonderful and safefestive season.

Lots of good wishesfrom Team Weekly

EDITORIAL COMMENT

GOD gave SA Mabida because He knew that only puregreatness can extricate this country from the shacklesof an unjust system.

Your resilience and unwavering determination in theface of adversity has earned you the title of the son ofAfrica and icon of the world.

I am blessed to be born in an era knowing that a giant

and legend of the century has walked on this earth.As South Africans celebrate the remarkable legacy

of one of the greatest men born in this world, weneed to advocate and reinforce his teachings of a corrup­tion free nation.

As we move into the future without Tata, let us beconfident knowing that his teachings and status asa liberation struggle hero globally will live on forever.

Madiba, you mentioned thatyouentrust the remain­ing years of your life to the people of South Africa. Yourwork on this earth is done.

You have laid the foundation and building blocks

for all South Africans to embrace your ideals of afree, non­racial democratic country.

As a country and nation we can never allow the sacri­fices you made and your ideals and aspirations to be invain. God has blessed South Africa with an abundanceof mineral resources such as iron ore, coal and gold butthe greatest blessing God was the legend Nelson Rolih­lahla Mandela.

You have stated Tata that: “When a man has donewhat he considers to be his duty to his people and hiscountry, he can rest in peace.” Hamba kahle Madiba.

THE Shree Shanta NarasimhaTemple in KwaDukuza, in associa-tion with Bhakti Marga South Afri-ca, hosted a successful Christmasparty for indigent children atThatha's farm last Wednesday.

According to volunteer NarrinePerumal the children were initially

apprehensive to participate in theactivities, but eventually gainedconfidence and began enjoyingthenselves.

“They participated in a numberof activities including a treasurehunt and had fun playing on thejumping castle. They were given a

gift pack at the end of the party. Weare grateful to the Bhakti Margafamily, the Child Welfare SA -KwaDukuza, the sponsors andmost important of all these lovelychildren for affording us the priv-iledge and opportunity to put asmile on their faces. We certainly

look forward to serving our com-munity in any way we can in fu-ture.”

Perumal said many of the chil-dren only get a treat once a year ifat all.

“Case workers have over 200cases each and these children are

deserving of a treat at least forChristmas.”

Anyone interested in treatingchildren can contact the welfare on032 551 2129.
