Antidrug campaign‘goes to school’>> ‘We know the problem does not exist only in one school, it is in all schools’TANIA SANDBERG>>[email protected]
BIKERS Against Drugs (Bad)continue their fight againstdrugs by creating drug
awareness in schools.Last week they presented their
cause at Kuswag Skool.Bad chairperson Doc Holman
says the organisation’s goal is tomakepeopleawareofdrugsandtobring in professionals to addressthe problem, as well as createawareness.
Holmanis theparentofarecov-eringaddictandtoldpupils:“Ifyouthink that by doing drugs you arenot affecting anyone, you arewrong.”
His daughter, a recovering her-oin addict, Bianca told pupils shestartedsmokingweedat theageof12. “In Grade 10 I dated a heroinaddictandwithinsixmonths Iwasa full-blown addict. The first timeyou take it, it feels good, but by the
second time it does not feel thesame,” she says, explaining thatyou need more to experience thesame first-time high.
Bianca spent six years inrehabilitation.
“I have lost family and friends.The things I have done I can’t takeback, ever. I never finished schoolbecause Iwas inadrug institution.The doctors told me my kidneyswould fail, and that Iwouldnot see21. Thankfully, I turned 22 this
year.”Doc said their club is not only
local, it has 2 000 membersnationwide.
“Our feedback goes to the SAPSin Pretoria, right to the top.We donot get involved with dealers our-selves,” he adds.
Councillor André Beetge sup-ports their campaign.
“I will stand with anyone whowants to make a difference. Justyesterday [Friday 31 October] the
police uncovered a drug networkin St Winifreds. We know theproblemdoes not exist only in oneschool,itisinallschools.Whenyousee pupils doing drugs, report it.You might seem uncool, but youcan possibly save someone’s life.”

A HOUSE robbery in north Pennington ataround 2am on Friday 31 October saw two ofthe three elderly residents roughed up andtraumatised.
Unfortunately, they were in the habit ofleaving the security gate and front door opento allow their aged, largely blind and deafdachshund egress during the night and thethree perpetrators simply walked in.
The 61-year-old man Joe (not real name)woke“withaknifeineachear”asheputit,andwasboundandgagged.Theeldest sisterMary(not real name) heard sounds, investigatedandfacedaknifeandwasbound,butwhenshepointedoutherasthmacondition,sheavoidedbeing gagged and was bundled into the roomwith Joe.
The angry 61-year-old sister (“Betty”) wasknockedaround, tiedupandgagged.Adenialthat they possessed a firearm caused furtherretaliation when the men discovered a pelletgun.
The victims were forced to load their pos-sessions into boxes and packets (to avoidfingerprints)andlaptops,atablet,cellphones,cash, licencesandclothes to thevalueofaboutR23 000 were stolen.
They estimated that the men were in thehouse for two hours before leaving themlocked in a room.
Maryhadmeanwhileuntiedherhandsandforced the door and called the police.
Theysaid themen looked tobe in the twen-ties,andtheywerewarnedtolookdownall thetime, saying theywould kill them if theymadeany noise.

Ecstasy, partying with death
MIXED with alcohol, ecstasy can bedeadly because it can contain a widemixture of substances — from LSD,cocaine, heroin, amphetamine andmethamphetamine, to rat poison,
caffeine, dogdeworming substances, etc, and despite the “cute” logosdealers put on the pills, this is whatmakes ecstasy dangerous — a usernever knows what he or she is taking.
Ecstasy smothers the naturalalarm signals given out by the body.As a result, after taking the drug, anindividual risks going beyond his orher physical limitations and endurance.
Make sure you are aware of yourchild’s social life and where he or shegoes out to.
Shortterm effects or signs of ecstasy use include impaired judgment,false sense of affection, confusion,depression, sleep problems, severeanxiety, paranoia, muscle tension,faintness and chills or swelling, involuntary teeth clenching, blurred visionand nausea. — Supplied.

“It was what I thought it wouldbe,” he said.
“Most of the questionswere easy,but somequestions took a gooddeal
of time,” Neolen Nullian says.MatthewGabin says it was good,“It was just a bit long, but I was
well prepared which helped.”“It was very challenging and you
needed to think, but I completed thepaper in time,” Nonjabulo Cibanestated.
KuswagSkoolGrade12pupil,Ve-ronica Beetge says it is her fourthsubject and she found themaths pa-per “reasonable”.

KUSWAG Skool prinsipaal Linda Scholtzhet verlede week ‘n “Proudly Toti” toekenning ontvang vir haar rol as sakevrou enprinsipaal en haar positiewe invloed op die
gemeenskap.Scholtz is reeds agt jaar prinsipaal by
Kuswag en het voor dit 10 jaar by DurbanRidge Park Kollege gewerk.
In 2008 wen Scholtz ‘n nasionale kompetisie as Sakevrou van die Jaar, aangebieddeur die Afrikaanse Handelsinstituut, virhaar bydrae as ‘n vrou in die sakewêreld.
Scholtz sê oor die volgende vyf jaarhoop sy dat tegnologie kan verbeter sodatKuswag kan tred hou met die wêreld. Syhoop dat Kuswag vir elke kind ‘n veiligehawe sal skep waar hulle hul talente tenvolle kan uitleef. “Sodat elke liewe kind sybeste kan gee en dat ouers ons hand salvat en saam ons sal werk,” sê Scholtz.
Sy sê sy put genot daaruit om met kinders te werk. “Ek sê altyd ek werk saam metdie grootste baas en dit is kinders,” las syby.
Volgens Scholtz is haar werk baie verrykend, maar dit raak al moeiliker. “’n Menskry nie altyd samewerking van ouers en departmentnie,maarditgaanniedaaroorniedit gaan vir my oor die kinders,” sê sy.

EDITORIAL COMMENT
Premier’s remarks shockingTHE shocking utterances by KZNPremier Senzo Mchunu at thefuneral of Senzo Meyiwa are an in-sult to the thousands of victims ofcrime in this province.
Duringan interviewwith theBBChestated:“Weshouldnotexaggeratethelevelofcrimebecauseit isnot likeit affects each and every family.”
The premier’s statement showsthatheandhisexecutive live in ivorytowers with expensive and expan-sive security to protect them and
their families.Rising crime levels donot need to
beexaggerated—theyareevident inthe government’s own crime statis-tics. Many thousands of people aredirectly affected by violent crime ona daily basis with KZN crime levelsconsistently and unacceptably high.
On a positive note, the DA agreeswith the premier that “police [offic-ers] should get out of police stationstofightcrime”.Wealsocommendthescores of hard-working police men
and women who strive to keep ourcommunities safe and secure.
Disappointingly, thepremierwassilent on his own government’s fail-ure to tackle crime levels in theprov-ince.
With local government electionslooming, the premier should not un-derestimate the effect of crime inKZN. If anythinghe shouldbe listen-ing to the growing voice of discon-tent.

Municipal overview>> ‘’New application will revolutionise communication with municipalities’
TANIA SANDBERG>>[email protected]
ADDRESSING business peopleat the Durban South BusinessForum, Councillor André
Beetgeandchairpersonof the forum,presented a municipal overview forthe past month.
“There has been a problem withthe collection of orange bags. Theproblem started with the introduc-tion of a new contractor. He won anaward last year and I think it was acase of too much, too soon. Some ofthe contributing factors were a DSWstrike in thesameperiodandthecon-tractor was still unsure of the routes.
“Thanks to everybody on socialmedia, we were able to determinewhere they did not collect andwithintwodayseverythinghadbeencollect-
ed.”Referring to the “big gaping hole”
on the corner of Ross and KhotoMakhanya streets, Beetge explainedthatacontractor,meant toput inaca-ble, drilled underneath the road intoa water pipe and also into Telkomcables.Theyhavebeenworkingtore-pair the problem, which should besorted out shortly.
Theyhaveaskedroadworkstopri-oritise and complete the repairs toroad surfaces in areas leading to thebeachfirst, inviewofschoolholidays.
“In the next six months to a year,municipalitieswill launchanapplica-tion for phones so that you can getyourwater and electricity account onyour phone,” said Beetge. The appli-cationwill revolutionisecommunica-tion with your municipality.
“You could for instance take a pic-ture of the rubbish on your street andsendit throughtoalert themorcreatean accident alert,” Beetge said.
“Theyranatrial in therevenuede-partment and it seems to work well.If you own multiple properties youshouldbeabletologinandcheckyourwater and electricity for all of them.”

Style upgrade for Pajero in SA>> ‘Pajero remains the epitome of offroad ability’
MITSUBISHI South Africa has addedseveral style enhancements to itsPajero range which, its claims, are
the result of customers’ feedback.The 2014 Pajero range comprises SWB
GLS, LWB GLS and a longwheelbase GLSExceed.
Each is powered by a 140kW/441Nm,3.2litre, turbodiesel driving through a fivespeed auto to all four wheels courtesy ofthe automaker’s now iconic Super Select4WD system with change on the fly up to100km/h.
The 4x4 gains a new grille and bumperdesign, LEDs and new alloy rims. A newmore sturdy sparewheel cover on LWB derivatives covers the entire spare wheel.
The cabin gains a standard reversingcamera which displays on the infotainment system and the entire range benefitsfrom auto headlightdimming.
Mitsubishi Motors South Africa chiefoperating officer, Wynand Pretorius, said:
“We know we have a winning formula withPajero. It remains the epitome of offroad
ability meeting urban comfort and practicality.”
The Super Select 4WD modes, as described by the automaker:
2H — for normal driving4H — all four wheels are engaged for
greater control with 34% of the power distributed to the front wheels and 66% tothe rear wheels, giving it a typical AWD vehicle experience. The 4H mode can be engaged at up to 100km/h.
4HLc — changes are made to the traction control system and the centre differential lock is engaged. It distributes powerequally to the front and rear wheels.”
4LLc — for lowgrip and extreme terrain. The 4LLc engages low range and deactivates traction control. The rear differantial lock can be engaged manually bymeans of a switch, according to the driver’sneeds and environment demands.
Standard kit includes, power windows,privacy glass, sliding front armrest (twostorage compartments), reclining rearseats and an extra two right at the backin the longwheelbase model (seven in total).
According to the Mitsubishi, its Pajero
is “able to safely operate on 500ppm (ofsulphur) diesel when necessary”.
In terms of safety, all derivatives haveantilock brakes with electronic pressuredistribution, emergency braking assistance, active stability and traction control,six airbags, immobiliser and alarm as wellas remote central locking.
Mitsubishi’s (Reinforced Impact SafetyEvolution (Rise) chassis and body construction is also used which earned thePajero a fivestar Euro NCAP safety rating.
All 2014 Mitsubishi Pajeros are soldwith a threeyear or 100 000km warrantyand a fiveyear or 100 000km maintenance plan, with service intervals every10 000km.
