A 40-YEAR-OLD horse, Ash, was shotdead at Bushy Vales in Southbroom onMonday night.
Ashwas shot four times for trespassing intoRed Rhino sugar-cane farm owned by StevenBrands.
“Ash was a old war veteran born and bredin SouthWest Africa. He was stabled in BushyVales because I don’t have space for himatmyhome,” said Ash’s owner, Amy Hemmingway.
“Ashonlyhad four teeth,hecouldnotgraze.Steven shot my horse dead as he claimed hewasdamaginghissugarcane.Howcanahorsewith four teeth graze on cane?” Hemmingwayasked.
Bushy Vales owner Gail Stack said the twofarmsareseparatedbyadamagedfencewhichdoesn’t keep the horses out of Red Rhino.
“It feels like I’ve lostoneofmychildren,”shesaid.
“ I let thehorsesout thatnight and theprob-lemwe have is that our fence keeps on gettingcut. Steve even admitted that his workers arethe oneswhokeep cutting our fence,” she said.
Hemmingway assumed that Brand saw thehorses on the border of his property and firedinto the air to chase them away.
“Ash is awar horsewho is not afraid of gunshots so seemingly he did notmove and that iswhen Steve shot at him at close range.”
“Ashhada lotofhistory,hewasaMenofTinHats (Moth) veteranwho fought in theAngolanwar.We have received calls frommany peoplewho fought with Ash in that war and they arevery saddened by this incident,” said Stack.
A case has been opened, but so far no onehas been arrested.
“Investigations are still in the process al-though I can say this is a very rare incident forus as the SAPS,” said police captain GeraldMfeka.
The horse will be buried at Brands farm astransport will be difficult to arrange.

The mother said herdaughter and niece both at-tended the accused’s dojo inMargate.
ShesaidMiddletonpaid fortheir travel costs to Johannes-burg where the 13-year-oldgirl participated in an awardsfunction.
“I told him [Middleton] Icould could not afford to sendmy daughter, but he said hewould foot the bill as she hada good chance of winning agold medal,” said the mother.
She also told the court thatMiddleton told her daughtershe would be great at model-ling.
“I didn’t pay special atten-tion to that as many peoplehave told me that I have abeautiful child.”
One day, somewhere nearJuly, the mother said she re-turned home from work tolearn that her daughter hadgone for a photoshoot withMiddleton.
“Iwas furious. I asked, as aperson of the law, how he
could takemydaughter’s pic-tures without my permis-sion.”
She said Middleton cameto her house and apologisedforhisactionsafewdayslater.
She then agreed for morephotos to be taken asMiddle-ton said he knew people inCape Town who could helpwith her daughter’s model-ling career.
Towards the end of Au-gust, the mother had to go toa university in Potchefstroomfor two weeks.
Middleton said he wouldtake care of her daughter andniece.
“I toldhim Ihave someonewhowill take care of the girlsbuthesaid thegirls couldstaywith him. He told me he is apolice officer and I could trusthim.He also offered forme togo and have a look at hishome.”
When themother returnedfrom Potchefstroom, herdaughter came home with anew cellphone from Middle-ton.
“Dave called and I foundthe conversation strange assheansweredeitheryesorno.At one stage she said, ‘no Iwon’t. I swear onmymother’slife’.”
When the mother ques-tioned her, she told her thatmore photos were taken andsomewere of her in the nude.
“I tried calling Dave but hedidn’t answer. I was stressedand tired. I fell asleep but was
awoken by a knock on thedoor. It was a police officer.”
The child then told the po-lice officer what had hap-pened.
“She saidDave told her nottellanyoneaboutthephotos.Itwas somehow transferredfrom his phone to someoneelse’s andnow the police havethephotos. [Hesaid] If anyoneasked she should say that hercousin took thenudephotosofher when nobody waspresent.”

Ugu’s shocking teenage pregnancy statsPRECIOUS GUMEDE>>[email protected]
THEDistrictHealthSystemsTrust, anon-profit organisation that con-ducts research on health issues, hasreleased teenage pregnancy statis-tics for the 2013/14 years for KZN.
Thereport indicates thatUgudis-trict is third highest among nine dis-tricts in KwaZulu-Natal.
Thereportsaysoneofthepossiblereasonsbehind this couldbe the lackof education through school healthprogrammes. The other is poverty.
Port ShepstoneRegionalHospitalpublic relations officer PhumzaMorai said it would not be easy tomonitor or collect statistics on thecollection of condoms from the hos-pital as condoms are distributed inmany areas and no one can clarifywhich age group takes more.
“The only thing that the hospitaldoes is offer contraceptives and
Implanon - a female contraceptiveinserted under the arm - to teenagemothers who are currently underthe hospital’s care,” she added.
Ugu districtmunicipality’s healthdepartment has also gathered infor-mation regarding this issue.
“The district is working with allrelevant stakeholders and doing
pregnancies,” said KhulekaniMsomi, spokesperson for the Uguhealth district.
He said as the department, theyensure that all the young people inthe district have access to health-care services.
“Wehavecommunity caregivers,family health teams and schoolhealthteamsinallsixmunicipalities.
“Allthesehealthserviceprovidersare attached to fixed clinics,” Msomisaid.
In all these facilities youthservices are provided especially forteenagers.
“Teenagers should make use ofthese services to avoid pregnancy,STIs and HIV,” Msomi stressed.
The department found it hard togive the Fever exact figure onstatistics.
“It’s a challenge to give accuratefigures because some of the teens donot go to ante-natal clinics.
“However,wehave745deliveriesand 548 Implanons inserted for theyouth under the age of 18 in the pasttwo quarters in this district alone.”said Msomi.

‘We will make theinvisible visible’>> ‘We want children to have an input ’
PRECIOUS GUMEDE>>[email protected]
“WEwantchildparticipa-tion in municipal pro-grammes. We want
children to have an input and forthem to be given an opportunity tovoice their views on the municipali-ty,” said Ugu special programmesmanager Dudu Khowa at a two-dayworkshop at Ugu Sports and LeisureCentre on Thursday and Friday.
NGOs, NFOs and child servicesdiscussed and formulated strategieson how children’s rights can be pro-tected.
Guests brainstormed ideas aboutprogrammes which can push childprotection services to another level.
Specialprogrammeschairpersoncouncillor Sandra Mohammed ad-dressed the workshop, saying thevoice of children is seldom heard incommunities. She said platformsshouldbe created for the youngonesto give feedback and tell them if theyare happy about things that are hap-pening around them.
“Our responsibility as adults is totake care of our children whether itbe your own child or their neigh-bour’s child.
“Children should know wherethey can report abuse and wherethey canget assistance. For instanceUgu is amunicipality that focuses onwaterandsanitation issues, but theydon’t find out howmany child-head-
ed homes there are in their munici-pality.
“We are heading towards “16Days of Activism For No ViolenceAgainst Women and Children”where issues relating to child abuseand teenage pregnancy is the mainfocus. Activists should be active for
365 days, which means daily,” saidDudu.
Shesaidthereisahugegapinpar-entingandeverything is left to teach-ers, which is wrong.
“We should comeupwithways toreach out to the children, especiallywith the festive season coming.
“Port Shepstone has many child-safety facilities which many peopleare unaware of, like the ThuthuzelaCareCentre. Youdon’t have go to thepolice station to report a sexual of-fence.
“You can go to the facility next toPort Shepstone Hospital.”

Former BananaExpress back on track>> ‘We have had a lot of interest on Facebook and from people overseas’PRECIOUS GUMEDE>> [email protected]
THE former legendary BananaExpress hasn’t been operatingfor the past 10 years, but now
the Classen family are in the processof reviving the service.
“In the past two to three years wehave been preparing this excitingproject,whichwill bringmemoriesofthe old Banana Express back to thepeople of the South Coast.”
“Most of the rail has been demol-ished, but with the help of our well-trained assistants we have managedto fix some of the tracks for HambaWehile,” said Classen.
Hamba Wehile is a privatelyowned train, aimedat attracting visi-tors. The diesel locomotive startedoperatingfromtherestaurantGorgezView through the Paddock area. TheClassen familysaidnextyear theyarehoping to get the steam engine run-ning.
“We have had a lot of interest onFacebook from people overseas andlocally. We are happy to see differentgroups coming in for rides onHambaWehile,” said Classen
The name of train comes from astory which Classen shared.
“My father remembered back inthe day when migrant workers used
tosingonthetrain.Themineworkersused to sing hamba wehile (keep ongoing) whenever the train had diffi-culty going uphill.
Classen said her father thoughtthiswouldbethebestnametogivethetrain because it brings back goodmemories.
Currently the train ismade up of asmall diesel engine and a open car-
riage with safety handles and seats.“We still have a lot of work to do
and, already calculating the basicstuff, will cost more than R200 000.We also had safety inspectors on sitecomingtosee if the locomotive issuit-able for the rides we offer.”
On Friday the Gorgez View staffand theSouthCoastFeverwere invit-ed for a ride on the train.

Ugu’s community access to water reaches 83%
UGU District Municipality has reached amilestone with water provision within thedistrict, increasing access to water to83%.
While the municipality acknowledgesthere is still more work to be done in en-suring that a 100% mark is reached moreso in rural areas, the municipality hasmade great water supply improvement inmost localities within its area of jurisdic-tion.
Ugu’s current household services statethat water access has heightened to83.2%, which can be translated to149 273 households having access topiped water, either inside dwellings oryards or community standpipes.
The municipality, guided by the na-tional directive embedded in the NationalDevelopment Plan which envisions thetransformation of the country by 2030,has ensured targets of its core service de-livery functions of water and sanitationare reached.
Themunicipalityisworkinghardtoen-sure that set targets for sanitation servi-ces are met. The municipality’s sanitationserviceshavereached89.1%,whichtrans-lates to 159 830 households with accessto sanitation services in the form of venti-lated pit latrines, water-borne seweragesystems and chemical toilets.
Towards advancing water access, themunicipality has implemented numerousmulti-million rand water projects withinthe district.
The municipality is currently involvedwith the construction of reservoirs, instal-lations of new pipelines, refurbishmentsof existing pipelines and refurbishmentsof water treatment works.
The Ugu Mayor, Cllr NtombifikileGumede, in May announced that the mu-nicipality has set aside R245 million un-der the Municipal Infrastructure Grant forwater and sanitation infrastructure pro-gramme.
Majorwaterprojectsunderimplemen-tation are the KwaNyuswa Water SchemePhase 3, Thoyane Water Supply SchemePhase 4 and 7, Ugu water pipeline replace-ment, Msikaba Water Supply SchemePhase 2 and 3, Umzinto slums clearance,Gamalakhe Bulk Water Supply Projectand Bhobhoyi Murchison Bulk Water Up-grade, among others.
“Our goal is to eradicate the ruralwater supply backlog through the instal-lation of new water infrastructure andother upgrades to meet the current waterdemand and eliminate water interrup-tions caused by aged infrastructure,” saidGumede.
The municipality is also reaching thefinal stages of implementation for theMhlabatshane Bulk Water SupplyScheme designed to fully supply Umzum-
be and Hibiscus Coast municipalities.Ugu District Municipality promotes
working together to create an environ-ment that is friendly, responsive, account-able, effective and efficient for local com-munities.

Confessions of a more-than-middle-aged mountain-bike momma>> Every Sunday, mountain-bike madness brings cyclists to race venues all over the country
RONA STUBBINGS
WEwillneverberoyals,royals…”Lordesings, over thePAsystem.When Iwasthe age of most of the competitors
aroundme, it would have beenQueen’s “Iwantto ride my bicycle, I want to ride my bike”. Thearoma of bacon-and-egg rolls permeates theearly morning air and the grounds are litteredwith bikes, cyclists and spectators.
EverySundaymorning,mountainbikemad-nessbrings thousandsof cyclists to race venuesall over the country. This particular race is inEston, and most of the ride for those (like me)doingthe18kilometreevent is tobethroughtheTala Game Reserve. The really serious racingsnakes have entered the 60 kilometre and 40kilometre events, but the 18 kilometre raceboaststhebiggestfieldofentrants—seededintobatches.
“It’s something we can do together,” David,my husband, happily told me. He even boughtme a new bike “with front and rear shocks anddisc brakes” as well as a dozen other features
designed to give a more comfortable ride. Oneglaringoversight,however,wasthesaddle—aninstrument of indescribable torture — whichdelivered shocks of a different kind. Fortunate-ly, a chance visit to a cycle shop revealed thatsofter, more comfortable saddles “designed forthe female anatomy” were available. Whowould have thought it?
Soon enough, finding neighbourhood ridesrather passé, we pedalled into the world ofmountain bike racing.
Anditbecameclearthattheonlybitwewould“do together” was driving to and from the racevenues:after the first kilometre Ididnot seeDa-vidagainuntil I finallystruggled,muddyandex-hausted, over the finish linewherehehadbeenwaiting for some time.
“BBatch, your start is in three, two, one: go.”And so begins today’s race. Being at the back ofthe group, I cross the starting line a while afterthebulkof theBbatchersandaminute later amliterally eating their dust as we cycle along thedirtroadleadingupandthroughthecanefields.
I lickmy teethand taste thegrit. Weall know“realmountainbikers”donotgetofftopush,butas the gradient becomes steeper, a few cyclistsare forced todismount toattend tourgentprob-lemswiththeirbikes: tyres,brakes,chain—theonly way to save face at this time.
Others, still on their bikes, have changeddowntogrannygearandaretacklingtheinclinewith grim determination. “I know I can, I knowI can…uhm, I think I can,” I tellmyself. “Ohno,youcan’t.Ohno,youcan’t.Ohno,youdefinitelycannot,” my searing quads scream in reply.
Okay, timetodismountandpush.At least I’mnot the first to do so and, in any case, my pridehas been deserting me steadily with each rag-ged gasp, so there’s no longer any face left tolose.
Fortunately, the terrain finally levels out sowe’reallbackonourbikes,breathingnormally,and entering Tala Game Reserve.
Several piles of buckdroppingsmakeme re-
call a YouTube clip I once saw of a cyclist beingknocked off his bike by an antelope. Then I re-member there are giraffes in this place too —and immediately TheWitness story from a fewyears ago of a chap who claimed to have beenattacked by an angry giraffe, comes to mind.Perhaps I should catchupwith that groupof cy-clists ahead.
Tenkilometres into the race, in thedepths ofthe game reserve,we reach awatering point—given the location, “water hole” might bemoreapt.
Ahelper handsmeapolystyrene cupful andadds an ice block. The drink rivals champagneserved in a fine lead crystal glass.
As pleasant as it would be to linger here, Ihave miles to go before I rest, so I set off again.
Because many riders have chosen to spendawhile at thewatering point, I soon findmyselfcyclingallalonethroughthebush.“This iswon-derful,” I think.“Justme,achildofAfrica,enjoy-ing the solitude and getting back to nature.”
At this point nature asserts itself in the formof a heap of enormous fresh droppings in themiddle of the track — not those of any kind ofantelope, surely. Giraffe, perhaps? I look nerv-ously over my shoulder, hoping to see at leastone rider coming up behind me. Nope, not asoul.Well,at leastagiraffeshouldbeeasytospotfrom a distance and the doughnut should pro-vide enoughoomph tomake a quick getaway. Itis as I am reassuringmyself there is no need toworry, thata suddenrealisationcausespanic toset in -why am Iworrying aboutmere giraffes?Therearerhinos in thisgamepark.Andhippos,too.
Diggingmyfeetdeeplyintothepedals,Iman-age an impressive burst of speed, leaving be-hindme a cloud of dust for someone else to eat.Thenext steepuphill proves tobenoreal obsta-cle — in fact, I feel remarkably strong at thispoint and cover the remaining kilometres at amost satisfyingpace.There isnohintof the trailrunner, either. Once out of the game park I sus-tainmyefforts, cruisingpast severalothercom-petitors.
ThefinishlinecomesintoviewandIdiscoverI possess a competitive streak: on the finalstraight I change into top gear and pass threeriders to achieve a personal best time.
As always,David is therewaiting forme, buthiswait todayhasnotbeenaslongasusual.Per-haps, after all, mountain bike racing will soonbecome “something we can do together”.

Have you no shame?MISTER D. Schulenburg of Umtent-weni feels no shame inadmitting thathe and his father fired shotguns tomark Guy Fawkes, Christmas andNewYear’s Eve (not old year’s eveMrSchulenburg).
It is hardly shocking then, that hecan see no wrong in discharging the
bigbang fireworks, thathe isevident-ly incapable of feeling empathy withanimals who suffer during the fire-works seasons, and that he is proudto whinge inanely about the com-ments of others who are informed bycompassion,educationandinsight,toallofwhichheiscontenttoremainim-
mune.The result in his letter is that all-
too-commonuglyunionofconfidenceandignorancethatmakesrationalde-bate hopeless, and results in suchequally ugly statements as his com-ment that shotgun blasts “shut upstupid dogs”.
I’mnotgoingtowastetimearguingwith Mr Schulenburg. In the fourthcentury BCE, Theophrastus startedteaching that because animals sharebasic characteristics with most hu-mans,weought tobecapableofanat-ural empathy in our relations withthem. He didn’t count on the likes of
Mr Schulenburg, but other readershave shown that compassion and in-sight are still alive and growing.
I thank those people for speakingdecent sense.

Thankfully there werefew residents there at thetime, so no injuries.
Thehousewasdestroyedwith contents includingwallets, paperwork and IDdocuments. Disaster crewsfrom the fire departmentandUguUplusSAPSRescueServices were quick to re-spond,andremainedforthenext four hours until satis-fied that the residents weresheltered in tents withmat-tresses and blankets.
Theresidentshaveaskedme to convey their thanksfor thisresponse,andIdosogladly.
I would also like to ex-press how overwhelmed,butnotsurprisedIwasattheresponse to the residents’plight from immediateneighbours, in particularthePatel family and friends;the Catholic Church mem-
bers lead by Rentia andMthoko and Phumi fromStages Restaurant, to namea few.
Clothes and hot foodwere provided and the resi-dents were made as com-
fortable and warm in therain as itwas possible to be.
The following day thiscontinuedandIcanonlysayhow proud I am to be thecouncillor for Ward 18 asthis is the type of response Ihave come to expect fromour residents.
There is however a darkside to this story.
Though the house is tiny,there were 15 people dis-placed, one of whom is onlyeight.

The majority of the resi-dents have jobs, but at sala-ries too low for them to af-ford normal rentals.
Had this fire occurred atnight I have no doubt thatlives would have been atrisk, if not lost.
There is a great deal ofemphasis on the need forRDPhousingthatisstillnon-existent in many areas de-spite waiting lists goingback18yearsinsomecases,yet there is also the need fora well-thought out designfor low rental houses that
could be made available tothose who are making anhonest living, but who areforced to live in conditionsthat exploit them.
I am not talking aboutblocks of flats that becomeslumsorlittleboxesonahill-side, but neatly set out littlecottages or rondavels simi-lar to many of the holidayareas that exist throughoutthe country.
I believe that local gov-ernment and the privatesector can put their respec-tive heads together to initi-atesuchplansbeforeweseedeaths as a result of thisabuse.
Plenty of land exists onthe outskirts of Oslo Beach,and there is a huge need ofrental accommodation forstudents from FET Collegeas well as workers fromtown.

Editorial commentI HEARD locals speak about the revival of theBanana Express and the happy memoriesthey’ve had on the train. It’s great news that thisservice is now available so children can put downtheir tablets and TV games and enjoy the out-doors.
This week also saw community members gettogether and search for Elsie Potgieter, theSouthport woman who went missing lastThursday.
We hope that she is found and is returned
safely to her family.It was also a shock to find out that the Ugu
District has the third highest teenage pregnancyrate in the province.
The district health office says it is doing ev-erything in it’s power to curb this.
At the end of the day it is up to each individu-al to take the necessary precautions.
Destiny is about discovery! Through your discovery you
recover! The recovery comes through deep searching
for recovery. Therefore in this 5 days prophetic
encounter, you need destiny discovery!
You need a prophetic direction for the next level.

Tiles, easy to maintain>> Step-by-step guide when selecting tiles
TILE choices are wide ranging andtherefore selecting the right tiles foryour home can be overwhelming.
Questions home owners usually mullover are the type of tile that will be mostsuitable; what size and colour to chooseand whether the colour suits the currentfurnishings.
It is important to take these practicalconsiderations into account when em-barking on a tiling project.
To narrow your choices down even fur-ther, consider your budget and colourscheme, then consider whether you’re aft-er a glossy or matt finish and the size tile
you prefer.To make the process easier, follow this
step-by-step buying guide to assist you inmaking your final decision:
Consider the area to be tiled: Will the tilesbe used to tile the floor or wall, is it a hightraffic area, is the installation inside or out-side and will it be exposed to moisture?• Forwalltilestherearevirtuallyno restric-tions when selecting tiles as floor tiles canalso be used on walls.• For floor tiles the major considerationis how much traffic the area will receive.This will tell you what the abrasion-resist-
should be able to withstand harsh sun andwet conditions. Porcelain and naturalstone tiles are usually recommended foroutdoor installations.• For indoor tiles the amount of trafficthe area will receive is important to deter-mine the degree of abrasion-resistancethe tile should possess.• When selecting bathroom tiles, kitchentiles or outdoor tiles one must pay atten-tion to the water absorption and slip re-sistance of the tile.
Select type of tile required: The next stepis to decide what type of tiles you wouldlike to use. There are a number of differenttiles for you to choose from.• Ceramic – ceramic is one of the mostcommon floor tile types and is made withceramic materials. Ceramic tiles have a lay-er of glaze on the top surface. Areas mostsuitable: They can be used in most roomsin your home.• Porcelain–porcelainisoneofthehardestand strongest types of tiles and is wellknown for its superior stain resistance anddurability. Porcelain tiles are created withceramic materials that are pressed harderand fired higher than glazed ceramic tiles.The materials in them melt or vitrify intoa glassy material. There are two types ofporcelain tiles; unglazed porcelain tileswhere the tile is the same colour all the waythrough and glazed porcelain tiles thatfeature a glaze for added beauty. Areas
from the ground and cut into pieces andinclude sandstone, slate, granite andnatural marble such as travertine. Naturalstonetilesmustbeinstalledbyexpertsandit is important to seal these tiles to preventthe stone from staining. Areas most suita-ble: They’re perfect for outdoors and workjust as well as cladding for your entrancearea as well as the bathroom and kitchensplash backs provided that they’re sealed.• Inkjet ceramic and porcelain tiles imitatenatural stone, wood and concrete withoutthe maintenance associated with sealingthese products. These tiles feature trendyfinishes and are perfect for home ownerswho are after a natural look, but at a frac-tion of the price of stone or wooden floor-ing. Areas most suitable: They work wellin most areas in the home, stone finishesare perfect for open-plan living areaswhereas wood-look tiles allow for a woodfinishinthebathroomandimitate deckingoutdoors.
Test the tile in the environmentRequestasamplefromthestoretotestthetile in the room in which it’s going to beused before purchasing the full stock oftiles. Make sure that the tile looks rightin the lighting and complements the colourscheme in the room. The tiles need tomatch the lighting, furnishings, coloursand shapes that exist in the environment.
Calculate the quantity of tiles required
• Now that you have decided what typeof tile you’d like to install, the last stepis to calculate how many tiles you’ll need.The more accurately you measure, themore precise your cost estimate will be.• Johnson Tiles has a handy tile and groutcalculator on its website, find it under theonline tools and support tab. The formulafor calculating the area is Length (m) xWidth (m) = Total area (m²).• Don’t forget to include areas that maynot be seen such as underneath the furni-ture and kitchen cupboards, unless theseare built in, then you may decide not to tilethese areas. Remember to subtract doorsand windows from your total when calcu-lating the wall area that will be tiled.• Allow for extra tiles in the event of break-ages. Purchase about ten percent morethan the actual amount required. You mayfind that the store stocks a different batchwith a slight visual difference later on orthat it no longer supplies that particulartile.
Tools and suppliesMake a list of the supplies and tools thatyou require, including the tile adhesive andgrout. Speak to the sales consultant at thetile merchant as he or she will be able toassist you with the products you’ll need tofit the tiles.
Select a tiler• Ask friends, family and neighbours forreferrals or ask prospective tilers for refer-ences from jobs they have completed.• Get at least two quotes before appoint-ing a tiler in order to compare costs. Re-quest a written description of the work tobe done and get a written guarantee.• Check whether the tiler has quoted youfor surface preparation, the tiles and mate-rial - or will you purchase these. Also checkthe total square metres covered by thequote and whether the tiler will clear awaythe rubble at the end of the job.• Consult with your tiler on the details– substrate preparation; where the tilingwill start and end; height of the tiles; anypatterns to be used and where the trimsare going to be fitted.• Confirm the quality of the primer; adhe-sive; grout and additives, especially if it’sa wet or outdoor installation.
PHOTO: SOURCEDCeramic tiles can be used in mostrooms in your home.
ance (or PEI) rating of the tileshould be in order to with-stand the wear and tear offoot traffic. The kitchen isconsidered a high traffic areaand requires a durable, prac-tical and slightly darker tilethat will not scratch or showdirt easily. A tile with a PEI 3rating is recommended. Thebathroom and bedroom arelow traffic areas thereforetiles rated PEI 1 and 2 are suit-able.• Outdoor tiles should befrost resistant, have somedegree of slip resistance and

17HOME IMPROVEMENTEnhance the look of your homeARE you bored with your home the wayit is?
If so, it's time for a make-over.Here are some good best reasons to
get started on a home-improvementproject.
• Make it sellable. You might not bethinking of selling right now, but circum-stances can change, and if your house iswell-maintained you'll be able to sellquicker, and for a higher price.
The outside appearance of yourhome is important in terms of raising its
the home, give it some love. Consider in-stalling a new stove, replacing the coun-tertops or putting in new cupboards.
Adding plants to a room is a great butsimple way of adding charm and “life” toa room.
• Make it work for you. Your bathroommight be workable, but now is a goodtime to re-think the finishing touches.
Get rid of that boring mirror and re-placeitwithaframedone,orreplacethatold while plastic cabinet with somethingthat offers more character. — Supplied.
Wallpaper is back and bold
ADDING an eco-touch to your designideas will be just as on trend as thewallpaper design you have chosen.
There is no doubt that when you lookat the current evidence wallpaper is trend-ing in a big way and interior designers ev-erywhere are eager to get their hands onthe latest offerings, which heavily featureretro-inspired designs.
If you have long been a fan of wallpaperthenyoumightbepleasedtomoveonfromemulsion. Not only will your walls benefitfrom some stunning designs and colours,butmanyofthemarenow alsoeco-friend-ly too, so you can enjoy a blast from thepast that uses modern manufacturingmethods.
Walls with a sense of humourIt is encouraging to see that one of the lat-est trends in interior design ideas is to findthat wallpaper prints are increasinglyadopting a more humorous approach thatreflects on the personality of the houseowner.
With the added benefit of being able toincorporate photo wallpaper into your de-sign brief, there are now many individualis-tic and often humorous ways that you canreflect and project your own personality orsense of style onto your walls.
Archive-print wallpaperAnother design idea that is enjoying a ren-aissance right now is the use of archive de-signs that are historic but a long way frombeing considered old-fashioned.
It would be wrong these days to hold theopinion that you really have to live in anold house in order for these wallpapers tobe a success, it is more a case of choosinga design that perfectly suits the scale of
your particular home.To get the most out of archive-design
wallpapers you need to adopt a horses-for-courses approach.
A good example of what this meanswould be to consider how best to use athirties small floral design wallpaper,whichcan easilybecomelostinahigh-ceil-inged while conversely, a heavily-patterned Victorian print wallpaper canquickly overwhelm a small or low-ceil-inged room.
Flower powerIt is probably fair to say that flower designsnever really go out of style completely, buttastes and individual preferences are of-ten reflected by seeing what floral-baseddesigns are particularly hot for this year.
Flower power this time around meansbig and bold designs with a geometric printwith a textured pattern or even flocked orglittery will be on trend at the moment.
Flowers are always going to be popular
when it comes to wallpaper design and bigis beautiful right now when it comes to see-ing what is adorning the walls of some ofthe smartest residences in town.
MinimalismThe retro revival makes more comebacksthan a fading pop star but this time aroundtheemphasisis firmlyondesignsthatwereall the rage in the fifties and sixties.
The minimalist designed wallpaperthat might be adorning walls in some ofthe most fashionable residences, featuressome marginally off kilter geometrics thatreally works well when the contrastingprints become a fusion of fifties and sixtiesstyle.
Pick a suitable colour scheme thatdraws the look in together and invest insome geometric cushions and you won’tneed Austin Powers to transport you backto the swinging sixties.
Metallic finishIf you are looking for a glamorous look thatis really on trend then metallic-finish wall-paper would be an excellent choice at themoment.
The versatility of this finish means thatyou make metallic prints work in the bed-room, living room or dining room.
Large prints and designs which featurea dark background can help to create a tru-ly opulent look and are a smart way ofadding extra interest to larger rooms, butshould be used more sparingly in smallerrooms.
Wallpapers that are printed on a foilbackground are probably ideal for some-one on a budget when compared to theirless expensive counterparts but they domake a statement and many people endup feeling that their investment was worthit when they see the end result, especiallywhen that reflectiveness helps to lift aroom that doesn’t get a lot of daylight.

autofeverFord’s stylish new Everest for SA>> Will be here in late2015
FORD unveiled its third-generationFord Everest, sporting a new designas well as the automaker’s latest en-
gines and technology.Ford confirms the new Everest will be
arriving South Africa late in 2015.Led by Ford’s Asia Pacific design and
product development teams, and makinguse of Ford’s global SUV platforms (Eco-Sport, Kuga etc), the new Ford Everest willbe available in both rear-wheel and all-wheel drive variants.
The Everest can be powered by a choiceof petrol (four-cylinder 2.0-litre EcoBoost)and diesel engines (five-cylinder 3.2-litreand four-cylinder 2.2-litre TDCi), mated toeither a six-speed auto or manual.
The Ford Everest was designed fromthe ground up with the durability to, Fordsays, “take on the most inhospitable envi-ronments”.
It’s equipped with a four-wheel drivesystem, an active transfer case (withFord Torque on Demand), terrain manage-ment system (TMS), 225mm groundclearance and 800mm water-wading
capability.It’s TMS has four settings (normal,
snow-gravel-grass, sand and rock) and forextreme off-road environments, driverscan manually lock the transfer case in low-range AWD drive mode for increased con-trol.
Inside, it benefits from refined materi-
als, sun roof, power tailgate, more than 30stowage areas, multiple power outlets andcan seat seven occupants.
It’s equipped with the latest generationof Ford’s in-car connectivity solution, Sync2, enabling drivers to use voice commandsto control the entertainment system, air-con and mobile devices.
Thesystemalsoboastsan20cmtouch-screen with colour-coded corners for easymenu navigation.
The Everest is equipped with:•Curve Control - helps drivers maintain
control when approaching turns tooquickly..
•Lane Departure Warning and Lane
KeepingAid-prevent driversfromuninten-tionally drifting out of a lane.
•Blind Spot Information System (BLIS)with Cross Traffic Alert - informs driverswhen there is a vehicle in their blind spotwhile driving or when preparing to reverseout of parking spots.
In terms of safety, it has adaptive cruisecontrol, forward alert with collision mitiga-tion, roll stability control and an electronicstability programme.
To reduce parking anxiety, active parkassist enables drivers to parallel parkhands-free, requiring only accelerating,shifting and braking from the driver.
The Everest is equipped with activenoise cancellation technology and usesthree microphones inside the cabin to de-tect and measure sounds.
A smart control module generates op-posing sound waves, which are then fedthrough the Everest’s audio system to can-cel out unpleasant noises.
According to Ford: “The result is a quietinterior that lets the driver comfortablyspeak with third-row passengers withoutshouting.”
The Everest will be manufactured inRayong, Thailand, for Asian markets.
In China, the new Everest will be manu-factured by Ford’s Jiangling Motors Corp(JMC) joint venture at the JMC XiaolanPlant in Nanchang, China, and distributedthrough JMC’s network of dealers.

Planets and meteor showers in DecemberRADO MOSKOV>>[email protected]
120 METEORS per hour on 14 December atmidnight
22nd-Summersolstice.Thisdayis thelong-est anywhere south of the equator, and theshortest in the northern hemisphere. In PortShepstone the sun will rise at 4.54 and will set18.57, the day’s durationwill be 14 hours 03mand the night’s – 9.57. Since the astronomicaltwilight starts or ends when the centre of thesun is18°belowthehorizon, the time forastro-nomical observations is the shortest this timeof the year. It will end at 20.41 and will start3.13, so you have time only six hours and 32minutes between these times to do your obser-vation on that day.
After the 22nd the day will start gettingshorter and the night longer.
The fact that the longest day is not also thehottest day even though the energy we receivefromthesunis thebiggestat thatdayisbecausetheclimateandtheair temperaturedependnotonlyonthedurationof thesun’sshining,butal-so on the place of the Earth and the ocean cur-rentsandairmovements.Henceweexperiencehottest days in February andMarch, not inDe-cember.

western horizon after sunset, and on the 4thwillenterCapricornus.Itsetsat22.10inthebe-ginning of themonth and at 21.30, so the timeto observe is very limited, just fewminutes be-tween the end of dusk and the sufficient heightabove the horizon of the planet.
JupiterGood conditions to see it, if you like waking
very early or waiting to rise high enough to be
observed late at night by the end of themonth.Jupiter is in Leo throughout the whole month,in the beginning of the month rises at 23.31 atthe end 21.30
SaturnNot good conditions to observe it, because it
is near the sun in Libra and can be seen onlyin themornings towards the end of themonth,but bearing inmind that the astronomical twi-light starts early this time of the year – around3.20 we have only few minutes to see it.
UranusGood conditions to see it in the first part of

>> Truth behind the world’s second-most dangerous beachSEAN LANGE
ARRIVING at SecondBeach, Port St Johns,wealwaysseemtobumpin-
to the Rastas first.“Howzit ous. Not swim-
ming?” we start the banter.“Nooit bru,” comes the re-
sponse with a friendly smile.“Ya, so what’s cutting down
onthemostdangerousbeachintheworld,ekse?”comesthere-sponse.
“Nooit bru, we not,” comesthe emphatic reply.
“Wenotthemostdangerous,man. There is some otherplace.”
“Whaaa,where bru?” I con-tinue.
“Ummmm,uh,not surebru.Heard it the other day, but wedefinitely secondmost danger-ousbeachintheworldnow,”theother Rasta says.
So that’s comic relief as westand there surf-checking theplace.
We all know that there hasbeenafatalsharkattackrightatthis spot, once a year for thepast nine years.
We found the lifeguardstraining in the river with nobathersorsurfersonthebeach,and a Zambezi behind everyrock. All they can do is stay fitand train.
“So where do the attackshappen brother?” I ask.
“There in thecornerbra,”hesays as he points to the littlecove in the south corner of thisbeautiful beach.
It’s a pebble-rock-lined covewithsimpleandinvitingaccess,to an ominous but serene littlepiece ofwater. Ominous only inthatit’stheperfectambushspotfor Zambezi sharks.
But to the previously brave,
it looks like the deep-end of ahotel tidal pool.
The last victim, a 70-year-oldEuropeantourist,justoffthetour bus on a blisteringly hotday, must have thought he haddied and gone to heaven, as heplunged in headlong to hisdeath.
Where were the lifeguards?Did they help?
First question – the life-guards were on duty andpresent.
Second question. Theirequipment was confiscated byan official years back and theyhave no craft with which to getout and rescue people beingeaten.
It tookmany slowhorrifyingminutes for our tourist to havehis entire abdomen removed.
He was a big guy. Had thelifeguards had their jet-ski, oranyother ski, used in combina-tion, could have savedmany ofthe fatalities.
They look like Shaka’s bestwarriors. They are extremelywell trained. They live for theirjobs. Theyhave lost brothers inthat very corner, but they havebeenstrippedof theirweapons.
Theycannotphysicallychal-lengeaquarrysomeanandeffi-cient in itsownmediumanden-vironment. They could take ona leopard with a spear.
But not a shark, without aski.The listof confiscated itemsincluded several surf skis, res-cue craft and a jet-ski, exactlythe equipment Iwoulddemandif I had to go towar on theZam-bezi shark front-line.
Sowhere does that leave us,standing on the newly claimedSecondBeachbeing the secondmost dangerous beach in theworld - wondering where themost dangerous beach is.

RAY of Light, helmed by Heidi Kavanagh,was in a league of their own as they tookthe honours in the Battle of TrafalgarPursuit Race hosted by the Royal NatalYacht Club offshore last Sunday.
Twenty boats were entered to com-pete in the pursuit race but only 11 bravedthe elements and raced. The start linewas set just off Addington with the turn-ing mark just off La Lucia Mall, 7 nauticalmiles away. On the run towards the lee-ward mark, Majimoto, skippered by JonMarshall was forced to retire after theirspinnaker pole bent.
Ray of Light registered a top windspeed of 42.9 at the top of their mast.All the boats started with the wind near-ing the 20 knots and long rolling swellsbut as the day progressed the windpicked up.
The husband-and-wife team,Michael and Heidi Kavanagh, owned thepursuitracecrossingthelinetwominutesahead of nearest competitor, WayneSmith, who raced on his catamaran CrazyDiamond. Smith was the last out of theblocks in the pursuit race and reeled ineight boats, sailing a magnificent race tofinish behind Ray of Light.
The Kavanagh’s large 43.8 foot boatcrossed the start line over a minute aftertheir start time under the power of thespinnaker.
After a good run down to the leewardmark, the crew dropped the bag and pre-paredtoroundthebuoy. Astheteamset-tled in on the rail, one of their men a bittoo enthusiastically in getting to his posi-tion and went overboard.
“Once we saw him go over, we over-shot the mark so we could turn around
and pick him up,” said Heidi.Skipper of the rescue craft, Scorpio,
was on standby at the buoy where theRefeloa Zililo went into the water, AlecMcNamara boasted.
“Their execution of the man over-board was the most phenomenal thingI have seen on the water. Ray of Lightmagically turned on their keel andplucked him out.”
Michael said it was the first time inDurban that he insisted all the guys weartheir inflatable life jackets.
“I am truly glad I did. It couldn’t havehappened at a better place, as we wererounding the leeward mark, so we werealready turning, so it didn’t impact toomuch on the race. As soon as Refeloa hitthe water his life jacket responded,” hesaid.
“The guy that went for a swimcouldn’t have a more appropriate nick-name among the sailors, and I think aftertodayhecankeepit.KnownasWaterboy,he will certainly remember this race,” headded.
This weekend sailors will be sailingoffshore for the first of the Royal NatalYacht Club’s Spring Series.
