CHAOS spread throughout the area alongRegina and Khan Roads on Mondayfollowing an illegal protest by the
residents in the area.According to sources, the protest was a
result of the resident’s electricity beingdiscon-nected, evenafter they claim tohavepaid theiraccounts.
The clash between the Ward 28 residents,which included members from both theinformal settlements and formal houses,resulted in a standoff between police andthemselves. Members of the police had closedoffentrytotheareawhiletryingtokeepthesitu-ation contained.
The illegal gathering is said to have startedin the early hours of Monday morning.
The protestors paid no attention tomembersof thepoliceforce, firedepartmentorother lawenforcementofficials andproceededto burn tyres, tree stumps and anything elsethat they could get their hands on.
Residents from the areawere forced to stayin their homesas a result of the violence. Somewere even forced to miss work and school.
When Maritzburg Fever visited the site ofthe protest, which was outside KharinaSecondarySchool, litterwasstrewnalloverthestreets togetherwith the remnants of smashedglass and burnt items.
Somepupilsfromtheschoolintheareawereseen in groups along the side of Khan andReginaroadsbecause theywerenotallowed to
enter the area.Police were still keeping an eye on the area
even though the crowdhaddispersed from thestreets and were back at their settlement.
The protest continued towards the latterpart of Monday afternoon when tyres werebeing burnt and the violence erupted again,although to a lesser degree.
By yesterday morning, there were reportsthateverythingwasbacktonormalandthattheroads had been cleared after members of theMsunduzi Municipality were in talks with theprotesters to resolve the matter.
“The speaker has sent the rapid responseteammemberstotalktothecommunityofward28tohear their issues,”saidmunicipalspokes-person Thobeka Mafumbatha.

Safety first>> Protective clothingpurchased for electricity staff
NQOBILE MTOLO>>[email protected]
IN order to prevent further injuries anddeath of its electricity staff, the MsunduziMunicipality has purchased fire resistant
work gear which will protect its electricityemployees while they carry out their duties.
Costing a hefty R200 000 for 20 suits,Msunduzi’s deputy municipal manager forinfrastructure, Sabatha Nomnganga, told theExecutiveCommittee(Exco) thateveryindivid-ual who is authorized to use the suit will haveto sign for it so that should the suits get lost, themunicipality will deduct from the salaries ofthose responsible.
Last year December, the Msunduzi munici-palitylostoneofitselectricians,NtandoyenkosiMgwili, after hewas severely burnt in an ex-plosion while trying to repair the damagecausedbycablethievesatoneof themunicipal-ity’s substations.
Nomnganga said that the protectiveclothingisoneofthemilestonesthatthemunic-ipalityhasaccomplished toensure thesafetyofits employees.
“AftertheincidentwhichtookplacelastyearDecember,wherewe lostoneofourcolleagues,we engaged so many municipalities to adviseus as to what they have in terms of protectionfor their staff. In the end, we came upwith thisprotective suit. When employees go out on siteto work on electricity, this is what they need to
wear to protect them from being burnt whenexplosions take place,” said Nomnganga.
Labeling the fire resistant suit ‘hot andheavy’, Nomnganga said that the inside isequipped with a fan to keep the electricianscool.
“The suits comes in one standard colourfrom the manufacturer. You cannot even burnthemandwe have actually proven that. This is
of high quality. The bigger municipalities likeCape Town and eThekwini use the very sameprotective gear,” explained Nomnganga.
MayorChrisNdlelasaidthat themunicipali-ty will not conduct any tests on its employeesto prove the strength of the suits.
“A responsible employer should be respon-sible for the safety of its employees,” he said.

AFTER a series of ‘familyfriendly’ shows, the char-ismatic Karou Charou
unleashes his brand new oneman show, aptly titled Ma-Dhir.
In this production, Karoudeliverswhat ledhim tobecome themost com-merciallysuccessfulIndiancomedianon thecircuit.He’sbacktohisbrash,un-apologeticbest,whichallowshimto get away with just about any-thing on stage.
His famous ‘f’ bombs flowthickandfast.Hetakesnoprison-ersandhewarnssensitivepeople
with “no pulse” to stay at home.As with all his shows, Ma-Dhir
is not your basic stand-up comedyshow. Karou is a master in the artof entertainment and he aims toentertain his audience from thetime they take their seats.
True to form, he wanders offstage to engage in unscripted yethilarious banter with the audi-ence. This time he will be puttinghis six months of training in hyp-nosis to the test. He claims to beable to cure smoking by hypnosis.It’sgoingtobeinterestingtosaytheleast.
Music, song, dance, magic,hypnosis...and a bit of comedy. Itsalmost like a Bollywood movie -just a few hours shorter and with-
out subtitles.Catch
Maha-Dhir(PG-18) atthe AryanHall in KhanRoad onFriday, 13June.Ticketsare R120 at
Computicket/Shoprite/Checkers.Limited early bird tickets are
available at R100 from the Phar-macy @ Spar at Northway Mall(033 387 2070) at Just Undies atthe Liberty Midlands Mall and atMedikist Pharmacy.

TALKING TOURISMDUMISANI MHLONGO: DIRECTOR OF THE MSUNDUZI PIETERMARITZBURG TOURISM ASSOCIATION
TWO weeks ago, theuMgungundlovu LiberationHeritage Route was launched
at the Old Prison.A high profile event attended by
uMgungundlovuDistrictMayorYusufBhamjee, who is a champion of theproject, Minister of Education DrBlade Nzimande, KZN MEC forFinance Ina Cronje, Deputy Ministerfor Justice John Jeffreys and manymore.
Heritage is our legacy from thepast - what we live with today andwhat we pass on to the futuregenerations.
Our cultural andnatural heritagesareourstrongestsourcesoflife,inspi-ration and our identity.
HeritageTourismofferstheoppor-tunity to portray the past in thepresent.
Tourism on the other hand is an
important industry, and a powerfuleconomic development tool based onlocalheritageresources (ie:anyplaceorobjectofculturalsignificance,bothintangible and tangible, is deemed tobe of cultural significance).
The new growth path, asdemonstrated by Mzansi’s GoldenEconomy,states thatheritage,aswellas culture and arts should go beyondsocial cohesion and nourishing the
soulof thenation,andshouldbegintoplay a pivotal role in the economicempowerment and skills develop-ment of a people.
Cultural or heritage tourism isimportant for its positive economicand social impact.
Economically, heritage tourismcan be a source of revenue that iscapable of creating jobs, providingnew business opportunities and
strengthening local economies,increasing property values andopportunities for diversifiedeconomies.
Many local municipalities sufferthe absence of tourism products, yetthey have powerful liberation herit-age iconsexistingwithin them.Thesecanbeusedtoignitetourismactivitiesas ithashappened inothercountries.
Msunduzi PietermaritzburgTourism has been identified as animportant partner and will packagethis as a tourism product and driveskills development programmes forthebenefitofcommunitieswithinandbeyond the district municipality.
The protection of CulturalHeritage isachallenge fordeveloping
countries like South Africa, particu-larly where heritage sites are widelyspread in rural areas and may notinclude impressive buildings andmonuments.
A potential solution to theproblem, adopted by a growingnumber of developing countries, is tolink smaller, local sites together intoa heritage route, which is thenmarketed as a package.
This dynamic exists within theUmgungundlovu District Municipali-tyandsuchanapproachmaybeideal.
AsIapplaudedthis initiative, Iwasremindedthattourismisgovernmentled (which puts the focus on theUmgungundlovu District Municipali-tytodeliveroninfrastructuralneeds),private sectordriven (that itwill needstrongpartnershipasatourismprod-uct) and community based (commu-nity involvement and beneficiation).

WORLD No Tobacco Day takes place on31 May, the aim of which is to focus onthe increased use of tobacco amongthe youth.
According to the World HealthOrganization (WHO), most peoplestart smoking before the age of 18 andalmost a quarter start using tobaccobefore the age of ten.
According to Cansa’s Head ofHealth, Professor Michael Herbst, thetobacco industry actively targets theyouth with appealing products andexpensive marketing strategies andprovides flavoured cigarettes andsmokeless tobacco.
“Young adulthood is the mostsusceptible and vulnerable period to
start using tobacco products and amain target for the tobacco industry.The resting heart rate of youth thatsmoke is faster than that of their peers.Long-term effects before the age of 18,include chronic diseases such as lungand stomach cancer, stroke and heartdisease,” said Herbst.
Hubbly bubbly, waterpipes orhookahs are more dangerous. Herbstwarns of the increased use of waterpipes, hubbly bubbly or hookah smok-ing amongst young people.
“It is especially bad because theirlungs are still growing and can bedamaged ,” said Herbst.

LASTweek, the slowpaceof transformation, soreviledbythepowersthatbe,wasdiscussedandthe conclusion was reached that this disap-pointing state of affairs at senior level is beingtackled incorrectly.
The solution is not rocket science, justcommon sense.
Primary schools, those schools with asporting history, strive even harder today toimprove standards and are the major forcebehind the number of previously disenfran-chisedchildrencoming through thesystemand
making it by virtue of merit alone.Thesituationathighschoolscontinuesinthis
vein,althoughquotasatprimaryandsecondarysystem at provincial level, where the powersthat behavea say, doesbecomebedevilledwithselection based on colour.
This does cause some white children (okayIhavehadtobringindifferentshadesofmelaninfor ease of getting the point across) to becomedisheartened, but those with a genuine futureare, for themost part, among the fortunate fewwho make the cut for the white quota.
Yet you still have farcical situations wherepeopleofcolour (whatstupiddescriptionsthesethings are - white is also a colour) in schoolsecond teams make selection for provincialschools’ sides and so destroy any white child’snotion of selection based on merit.
If the actual model used in the established
schools - selection onmerit alone - was used atprovincialandnationalage-grouplevel,thebestwould be recognised and respected.
As things currently stand, the establishedschools are bringing talented players of colourinto the fold through bursaries and the benefitsare enormous.
The school ensures a mix of cultures, thechildren interact and recognise that they areessentially all the same, while the players ofcolour, in many cases, are exposed to a wholenew range of life experiences offered by theseschools (a seemingly endless number of extra-curricular activities to sample and enjoy).
However,onlyatinypercentagebenefit fromthis opportunity.
TheoldCommunist system, in its pure form,is what this country needs.
Qualified sports personnel shouldbe funded
byourtaxesthatareallocatedtosport, togointocommunities with difficult socio-economicconditionsandeachyoungchildofpre-teenageshouldbetestedbyapprovedscientificmethodstoidentifythosewithexceptionalsportingtalentand these children must be funded, monitoredbyexpertsandofferedtheopportunitiesthates-tablished sports schools bring.
Only then will the tip of the iceberg becomea mountain of talent pouring into thepost-school talent pool and then selection atnationallevelwillbedevoidofthecolourconsid-eration.
