FAMILY Violence, Child Protection and Sexual Offences(FCS) Units in KZN arrested 211 alleged rapists during the16 Days of Activism last year. The suspects were sen­tenced by various courts in the province resulting in 56convictions, which included nine sentences of life impris­onment.

Provincial Commissioner Lieutenant­General Mma­monnye Ngobeni applauded these successes and ex­pressed her confidence in the judicial system which hasmeted out fitting sentences to these rapists.

“These successes are a clear indication that the dedi­cated men and women in blue are committed to makethis province a safer place for our women and children365 days in the year,” she said.

Better festive season thanexpected

WHATconstitutesagoodandabad holiday season along theUmdoni coast isdependentup-onwhose choice it is. Formostof the coast’s resident popula-tion, visitors are good news ifthey stay for at least a weekwhile day trippers are lesswel-come.Predictably,thisislinkedto the amount of money theyspend but also to the over-crowding of resources on thebig days such as 16 and 26 De-cember and 1 January.

At this stage, the feeling ap-pears to be that this year’s fes-tiveseasonhasbeenalotbetterthan feared.

The water supply debacleand other problems of a yearago led many to speculate thattherewouldbeabacklashfrommedium to longer-term visi-tors.

Up country visitors came intheir droves and those whospoke to the Feverwere happyat their experiences. Some ofthe complaints though wereabout the overcrowding by theday trippers.

Scottburgh personality Pe-ter Fielding felt that the NewYear’s Day crowd on Scott-burgh beach was down on theprevious year.

On thebusiness front, bottlestores did a roaring trade andthe property letting sector wasmore than surprised. Scott-burgh SAPS spokesman Cap-tain Vincent Pandarum saidthat crime levels were withinexpectations and while localtraffic authorities caught theirusual quota of 200km/h-plustransgressors, accident levelswereaverageforthistimeoftheyear.

FEVER DIARY

Dear Fever,NOW that the season of giving and re­

ceiving is over it seems to be a good timeto think over what that means. I am agrandparent and each year I see my andothergrandchildrenreceivingpresentsandfood and drink at such a rate that theybarely have time to rip the wrapping off ortaste the delicacy before grabbing at or at­tempting to swallow the next one. Laterin the day, the toys are lying discarded ina pile of paper, the cookies are lying halfeaten and the little darlings are snoringaway.

They haven’t a clue who gave them

what or even what they received and as forgiving thanks, they probably can’t remem­ber whether you were even there.

Meanwhile, in another place, if youwere there to see, other children are sittingwith their fingers in their mouths and theywill be lucky if they get anything more thanthat. Many years ago, we took our two eld­est grandchildren to a home for childrenwith HIV/Aids on Christmas Day. Therethey shared what little there was. Eversince then to this day when they are in theirthirties, they tell us: “That was our best ev­er Christmas.” Makes you think.

Granny, Pennington

5Debuut CD virplaaslike sangeresSONJA NELL>>ucnews2feveronline.co.za

DAAR is min mense wat op die ouderdom van17 reeds ‘n CD vrysgestel het. Maar vir Muni­que Oosthuizen, ‘n sangeres van Athlone

Park, het hierdie droom ‘n weerklikheid geword.Haar debuut CD Be the Light is in haar pa se stu­

dio, Solo Studio KZN opgeneem en onlangs vryges­tel. Die gospel CD bevat 10 snitte wat Munique haareie gemaak het.

Die onderhoud met haar vlot maklik want sy is‘n talentvolle, selfversekerde jong meisie met ‘nsterk waardestelsel wat weet wat sy uit die lewe wilhê.

“Talent is jou geskenk van God — wat jy daarmeedoen is jou geskenk aan God,” sê sy.

Ma Sally vertel dat die hele familie musikaal isen betrokke is in die kerk se voorsang orkes. SussiesMadeleine speel tromme, Muchelle die tamboryn,hulpaenoupakitaarenoumatrekklavierterwylMu­nique voorsang doen.

Haar liefde vir optredes en kompetisies kom sed­ert sy op 10 jarige ouderdom aan die Supersterrekompetisie deelgeneem het. In 2011 het sy die EastCoast Got Talent kompetisie gewen en sedertdientree sy gereeld op by funksies, troues en hierdie jaarwas sy ook een van die kunstenaars by die KuswagKarnaval.

“Dis vir my baiemakliker om in diestudioopteneemasom voor ‘n gehoorop te tree, hoewel ekbeide geniet. Voor ‘noptrede is ek baiesenuweeagtig maarek vertrou op dieHere dat alles goedsal verloop. Ek bidook elke keer voor­dat ek optree,” ver­tel sy.

Haar ma sê diestudio werk is mak­

liker omdat sy so perfeksionisties en krities op haarselfis.

“Een van haar sterkste karaktereienskappe is egterhaar sterk wil. As sy haar kop op ‘n ding gesit het, laatsy haar nie van stryk bring nie,” sê Sally.

NGINIFISELA unyaka ophuphuma izibusiso,nokufezeka kwezifiso zenu bafundi bethu.

Egameni lozakwethu esitebeleni samaFe­ver, ngiduduza bonke abashiywe yizihlobo nabanga­ni.

Sengathi uMdali anganithinta ngoMoya oy­iNgcwele emiphefumulweni, nelapheke.

Engosini yanamhlanje sifisa ukuzwa imibono yenungobumnandi nobuhlungu bokuba nomoya omuhlenokuziphatha kahle,(manners).

NjengobasiphumaekhefinilikaKhisimusinoNcibi­jane,kukhona abasancoma ukuphathwakahle laphobebevakashele khona.

Kodwa­ke, laba abebevakashile bancoma uku­phatheka kahle nje, kukhona abebevakashelwe aba­demelayisa bodwa kumanje ngoba bangene ezindle­kweni ezimangalisayo kade bengazihlelele.

Omunye wabademelayisayo, umngani wami uN­yikinyibhoxo Cele olunge lento edabukisayo. Wonkeumuntu okhuluma ngaye uthi: “Akukhona ukulungakomuntu lokhu. Ulunge njengabefundisi bakudala.Umuntu ongakwazi ukuthi nxa!”

Umfo kaCele owaziwa ngamancoko uthi kusukelakulo nyaka, usezokhiya kwakhe ngamaholide kaKhi­simusi azihambele nomndeni wakhe ukuze angaxa­bani namuntu.

Unkabi ukhuluma ngomndeni wakhe nje, ushoyena nomkakhe kuphela ngoba izingane sezikhulilesezinemizi yazo.

Ungibuza ukuthi kusuke kwenze njani uma umun­tu ekuvakashela engakwazisanga.

“Okubuhlungu kakhulu ukuthi yizihlobo ezihluphangalo mkhuba. Umuntu amane atheleke nje ngobaazi ukuthi ngeke umxoshe,” ezikhalela umfo kaNdosi.

Uthi ngempelasonto eyandulela uKhisimusi ku­fike umlamu wakhe osebenza eGoli. Nanxa engaziukuthi wenza msebenzi muni, uthi indlela aswenkangayo nathanda izinto eziphezulu ngayo, itshengisa

ukuthi usebenza kahle.Uqhuba uthi: “Ngizibulale ngokumyalela indlela

eza kwami njengoba angigcina ngisahlala elokishini,ngingazi ukuthi ngizidonsela amanzi ngomsele.”

Kuqale kwaba mnandi bebonana emvakwesikhathi eside, bexhawulana, umlamu encomaubuhle nokuhlanzeka komuzi, encokoncokola nano­dadewabo.

UNyikinyibhoxo akazithinti ezikaFaro, kodwa kuh­lale kukhona efrijini okulinde abavakashile. Futhiuyaqinisekisa ukuthi zikhona zonke izinhloboezikhonzwe yilabo abathintayo. Inyama nama ‘bo­erewors’ bekugcwele kusweleke indawo efrijini, okaN­dosi ehlelele ukuthi kuyoze kugamanxe uMasingana(January).

“Nanso­ke indaba,” eqhuba, “ngiyamuzwa umla­mu wami kumakhalekhukhwini useyalela omunye in­dlela eza kwami, uncoma nangendlela okumnandingayo, nokuthi usibali wakhe unomoya omuhle kan­jani.

“Dukuduku, ngiyabona sekuma itekisi, kwehla in­tombi yakhe nezingane zabo ezimbili. Ngiqalengacabanga ukuthi uzothi qu, ahambe, kanti angibu­zanga elangeni. Uzohlala wonke amaholide. Enjalonje uyazifela wutshwala, futhi uthanda lobu obubiza­yo.

“Uthe umkami esefuna ukubaxosha, ngamkhuzangoba kuzoba sengathi yimina engingabafuni. Kwen­zeka konke lokhu nje, umlamu wami akakhiphi ngisho‘indibilishi’ (one cent) le.”

Uthi baningi nabanye abebefika ekuseni lize liyos­hona, abanye balale izinsuku zilandelana, kodwalutho isandla ukungena ephaketheni.

Umbuzo uthi senziwa njani isihlobo esifika sin­galindelwe, sifike sihlale izinsuku eziningi, sibuye sin­gakhiphi mali? Isezithebeni bafundi.

Burry Stander’s legacy lives on

QUINTIN VAN JAARSVELD>>[email protected]

CYCLISTS united to remember mountainbikinggreatBurryStanderwhilehislega-cywascementedwiththeofficialopening

of theBurry StanderBikePark at theweekend.Theglobe’scyclingfraternityonFridaycom-

memoratedthelifeoftheSouthAfricanOlympi-an with memorial rides across the world, themost intimate seeing approximately 200 cy-clists join the Stander family at the scene of theaccident inShellyBeach,whereBurry tragical-ly losthis life inanaccident involvinga taxipre-cisely a year ago. Following the ride, pastorTrevor Downham conducted a short servicewhereafter cyclists lit candles andplaced flow-ers at their hero’s ghost bike.

Earlier on Friday, Burry’s wife Cherise tookher husband’s I-pod and cycled the exact routeof his last ride and stopped at the place wherehe had phoned her from for the final time.“Somethingwithinmesaidtomeit’ssomethingIwanted todo.Theweatherwasscarily similarwith thewind just in the opposite direction.Mybest friend Lise Olivier and Justin Porteousjoined me because I’m not sure I would’vecoped on my own. It helped me … it broughtbacka lotofmemoriesand it’s abeautiful ride,”she told the Fever.

Cherise,anelitecyclistherself, thankedfansforthesupportshe’sreceived.“Thesupporthasbeenincredible.Memorialrideshavebeenheldacross the world, in places I’ve never even

heardof, and that just showswhat awonderfulperson Burry was. It’s been a year and it feelslike yesterday, and I think it’s like that for theentire country. I took some time to read everysingle message I received and wouldn’t bewhere I am without the support I’ve received.It means the world to me.”

Hundredsof cyclistsonSaturdayconvergedon the Stander family farm in Umtentweni,wheretheBurryStanderBikeParkwasofficial-ly opened by acting KwaZulu-Natal Social De-velopment MEC Weziwe Thusi and Alec Moe-mi, Director General of Sport and RecreationSouthAfrica (SRSA) following a 30kmout ride,5km short ride and a walk.

Burry’smomMandie told theFever: “I thinkBurry is lookingdownonuswitha smile. Fromup there he’s able to accomplishwhatwe can’tand that’s bring people together and make usawarethatwe’reallroadusersandshouldhavepatience with one another. The park itself hassuch a positive energy and I believe Burry’shard at work here.

“I received wonderful support from the na-tional andprovincial sportsdepartments inor-ganising these two events and couldn’t havedone it without them.”

The park, with the support of government,willserveastheofficialhubforthedevelopmentof cycling in the Ugu district and will promotecycling safety. SRSA donated 35 bicycles andsafetyequipmenttotheBurryStanderFounda-tion on the day as part of the Cycle for Life pro-gramme.
