Councillors battle it outTongaat ANC and DA councillors gohead to head at council meetingKAVEEL SINGH

TWO Tongaat council-lorswent head to headat a full council meet-

ing on Wednesday last weekafter questions were raisedaround a housing project.

DA councillor BrianJayanathan put forth ques-tions to human settlementsand infrastructure chairper-son Nigel Gumede at councilregarding the storm dam-aged homes that were sup-posedtoberebuilt in Zamak-houle last year.

Conflict unfolded afterGumede directed the ques-tions to ANCward councillorMichael Abrahams.

Jayanathan and the DAconstituencyquestionedwhya councillor was respondingto queries instead of a hous-ing official.

Jayanathan said he wasthen mocked and ridiculedby Abrahams, who appar-ently did not answer any ofhis questions.

“I had valid concernsabout whether building ma-terials had been supplied,budgetary planning hadbeendoneandahostofotherqueries that were quicklybrushed aside to cater forcheap mockery and politick-ing by the ANC councillor.”

From page 1

He added: “We are concerned about the communityand not the battles between our parties.

“This kind of behaviour proves why the ANC is los­ing votes and not ensuring service delivery.”

Jayanathan said he posed the questions to coun­cil because he did not receive feedback from thehousing department despite numerous attempts toseek clarity on the matter.

DA chief whip Sharon Hoosen said there weremany times she attempted to call a point of orderwith eThekwini council speaker Logie Naidoo.

“I did this in the hope of forcing councillor Abra­hams to focus on answering the questions as op­posed to resorting to cheap politicking and selfpraise.

“People of Tongaat have not received theservices they were promised and they deserve toknow why.

“Instead, Abrahams used that opportunity tohighlight councillor Jayanathan's media profile in lo­cal tabloids.”

Hoosen said although the municipality had con­firmed an undertaking to assist residents by repair­ing their informal settlements, to date no assistancewas brought to the affected residents.

When the Weekly questioned Abrahams onwhether building materials were given to the affect­ed families he confirmed it, to date, had not.

Hoosen said it became clear that Gumede re­ferred Jayanathan's questions to Abrahams to divertthe focus from having to answer pertinentquestions.

“It also becomes glaringly obvious that the wardcouncillor tried to cover up the shortfalls of servicedelivery to the people in Tongaat.

“It has been almost a year since the disaster andit is disgraceful that we have to request an updatefrom the municipality, although council has ap­proved funding to assist the affected residents.

“The job has not commenced and while the ANCplay politics with people’s lives, the residents of Ton­gaat will suffer.”

Speaking to the Weekly, Abrahams lashed out atthe DA saying “they did not have a right to speak onanything at council because they rejected the budg­et”.

“And with the budget comes the administrationof all aspects of the municipality. The fact that theydid not participate in this process means they shouldnot even comment on these matters. How can theynot approve of a budget that caters for the poor?”

Abrahams did confirm that the storm damagedhousing budget of R44 million was approved for thearea but would only commence once the Gwala'sFarm housing project was completed.

He said he could not give a time frame for thecompletion of projects because of the recent poorweather conditions.

Abrahams added: “Councillor Jayanathan knowswhere my offices are. He could have come to me withthese questions but decided to waste time in council.The DA is not interested in the people. They are tryingto resort to cheap politics before the elections.”

KAVEEL SINGH

A BOLIVIAN national was arrested at theKing Shaka International Airport after hewas found with two kilograms of pure co­caine with a street value of R600 000.

Members from the Durban OrganisedCrime Unit and Customs arrested the 31­year­old medical student when he arrivedat 5pm on a flight from Brazil via Dubai

SAPS and Customs officials had al­ready received information that the drugswere en route to Durban allegedly headedto a wealthy businessman. The suspectwas identified and intercepted.

According to reports, the student wasprofiled by crime intelligence and it is be­lieved that he entered the country morethan six times in the past few months.It is also believed that he is a key drug mulefor the Brazilian drug mafia.

Provincial SAPS spokesperson captainThulani Zwane, said the student was ar­rested after a tip­off.

“The suspect was identified and arrest­ed. His luggage was searched and officialsfound two parcels containing a total of twokilograms of cocaine with a street value ofapproximately R600 000,” he said.

Zwanesaidthestudentwasstoppedbyauthorities in Brazil and searched.

“The drugs were not found as they werewell concealed. Fortunately we managedto intercept him on his arrival in Durban.”

KZN police commissioner lieutenant­general Mmamonnye Ngobeni commend­ed members for the successful joint opera­tion.

“It is imperative that we intercept thesedrug shipments before they reach thehands of those who ply their trade bybringing misery to our society especially

our youth. By working together variousgovernment departments are turning thetide on the drug trade by dealing with thesource of these dangerous drugs,” she said.

The student was charged with drug

possessionandisexpectedtoappearintheVerulam Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday.

Alleged drug mules Lindy Walker andAbel Hermanus du Plessis are also expect­ed to make a bail application at the same

court on Tuesday.They were reportedly found in posses­

sion of R6.5 million worth of crystal meth­amphetamine (tik) last month, also at theairport.

Another majorexpansion forMediclinic Victoria

WEEKLY REPORTER

IN just a few short months, Mediclinic Vic­toria will grow in leaps and bounds withtheir new expansion which is undoubtedlythe most ambitious to date.

In order to continue with the existingoperations without undue disruptions, theexpansion has been planned in three phas­es.

The first phase is set to be completedby October 2014 and will include a com­pletely new doctor’s consulting block, twomassive levels of parking, and the refur­bishment of the lower ground floor of theexisting hospital which will include the re­ception area.

Hospital manager Jenny Meer said thesecond floor will be rebuilt to accommo­date an additional 21 new beds consistingof private and small wards as well as therelocation of the existing Emergency Unitfrom the lower ground floor to the groundfloor.

“Phase two which will commenceshortly afterwards will include the con­struction of offices for administrative de­partments and a brand new pharmacy.

“Phase three will include a new multi­theatre complex with digital theatres, a

separate surgical ICU as well as additionalwards and facilities. All of the buildings willbe linked with a walkway.”

Meer added that the board and man­agement’s intention is to ensure that theydeliver cost­effective health care of the

highest quality, retain a trained and happywork force and exceed patient expecta­tions now and in the future.

“To do this, it is clear that we need thesupport and commitment of the commu­nity, patients and doctors in utilising the

hospital services to its full potential. We in­vite you to walk this short road with us.”

Meer added that they would like tothank Tongova Mews residents, Mr F Shaikand the community for their support andunderstanding during the building project.

RESIDENTS from Mag­waveni were ecstaticwhen they found outthey will be receivingbrand new homes aftertheir original homeswere damaged byfloods in 2010/11.

Ward councillorNompumelelo Mabasomade the announce­ment recently.

Forty six RDP homesare set to be built andconstruction began onMonday.

Mabaso said allhouses will be com­pletely rebuilt. “Ourcontractors are set to finish early next year,” she said.

Over 600 homes were destroyed in 2010/11 byheavy rainfall, hail and storm, leaving thousands ofpeople all over the province homeless.

The KwaZulu­Natal cabinet ended up requestingnational support. The national Department of Hu­man Settlement thereafter set a fund aside for alldisaster management victims.

eThekwini Municipality spokesman Thabo Mofo­keng said that the delay was caused by the frequentoccurrence of disasters . “Each year disaster manage­ment damages escalate millions of rands and witheach area we have had to conduct emergency reliefand rescue efforts before we could begin with theprocess of quantifying the damages,” he said.

I AM not a religious person at all. Ihavenotbeenforover10years,butI respect people who decide to tra-

verse this path. I was, however, bornHindu and participated and practisedin many prayers and religious read-ings.

There has been a lot said about thecelebration of Diwali over the past fewweeks.WhyareHindusbeingwarned?Why

areothercultural groupsnot receivingthesamekindof flack?Thesearesomeof the questions that were asked.

Many Hindu's also felt they took adouble hit with Zapiro's controversialcartoon.

Asurprisinglybusy time forHindu'swhoarenormallynever inany contro-versial spotlight.

I wonder though, are these issuesreally pertinent? I was in my hometown of Stanger over the weekendspending timewith family for the aus-picious day.

My family is strictly Hindu. Therewasaweeklongfast (whichdoesn'tre-ally count because my entire family isvegetarian)andIwasdeniedbreakfastbecause a morning hawan (prayeraround a fire) had to be performedbe-fore any food was consumed.

Thisgotmewondering–howmanyHindusreallysee theday forwhat it is?

Yes, it is easy to say to those notpart of the religion: “It signifies the tri-umph of light over darkness.”

But how many Hindus are actuallyspiritually knowledgeable about thetrue significance of their culture, oftheir scripture, of their belief system?

Actually, why narrow it down toHindus. This applies to Christians,Muslims, Jews, Buddhists...everyone.

Sometimespeople take theirbeliefstoo literally and to heart. What is thetrue purpose of all of these celebra-tions?

Religion has fundamentally tried toteach humanbeings to be kind to eachother. All of them have. Every religionhas commonalities. Be good, do notkill,give to theneedy,seekspiritualen-

lightenment.Andbeforeyoufundamentalists tell

me I knownothing about your religion–youarewrong,Ido.I'vereadallscrip-tures I've named in this column so far.

My point is, why do we get caughtup in the smaller issues like the fire-works? In all honesty, I don't see theneed for it.

All it does ispollute theairandharmpeople and animals. Yes I was youngonceandunderstandthethrillofburst-ing fireworks. But I was taught morethan just that. How many of you havedone that?

How many of you “adults” knowwhat truemeaningofanyreligiousob-servance is?

Once again, it is not just Hindu's.You knowwhat I see?A society of peo-ple who think you can do what youwant six days out of the week but seekGodontheonedayyouheadtochurch,mosque, the temple or synagogue.Wetoo often see it as just another aspectof life like work, family...oh yes, andour religious day.

That is not what it is. The way youbehave toward others is religion. Thisis spirituality. It is your application ofknowledge. It is your action.

This is what your God has tried toshowyou.Don'tgetcaughtupinritualsand observances because it makes nodifference if you are a savage the restof the time.

Religion should be
