So what you might ask what has prescrip-tion got todowith thepriceofwater?Plenty.Over five years ago many Greytown waterconsumers were shocked to receive de-mands from the then service provider,uThukela Water , to pay thousands andthousands of randwhich uThukela claimedthey owed. These exorbitant amounts ,which at no stage were substantiated orbacked up with detailed statements ,wereit said, based both on actual and estimates!uThukela tookover thebilling functionfromUmvoti Municipality in 2005 and admittedconsiderable problems in obtaining actualreadings.But itdefined”estimates”aswhenan actual meter reading is available butthere was an automated technical adjust-ment leading to estimate accounts whenconsumption increased or decreased by50%. Totally confusing -the exorbitantamounts were based on estimates but ac-cording to uThukela were based on actual.

In a front page article on 18th January2008 headlined “wayout (andweird)waterbills “ the Greytown Gazette queried why

it had taken from 2005 to the end of 2007for these socalled outstanding amounts tobe discovered;how readings had been ob-tained from inaccessible meters and howthey could claim actual readings from twoyears previously .

A spokesman for uThukela admitted thatit should have sorted the problem of overand under estimation sooner but that thishad not been done as a result of varioustechnical problems and difficulties!

Greytownwatercustomerswereadvised,throughanuThukela representative, to paythe current month’s water account, untilsuch time as uThukela Water proved withdocumentation that those amounts weredue.That was in 2008. It is now 2013 .Theoutstanding debits have never been re-solved and in any event long since pre-scribed as more than three years havepassed since it was raised.

uThukela’s recordas awater service pro-vider was marked by months and monthsofcomplaintsbyGreytownresidentson lackof service delivery ranging from no water

supply ,sometimesfordaysonend;dirtywa-ter ; lackof response - all ofwhich culminat-ed in the the demands for socalled arrearpayments. It was not only Greytown con-sumerswho suffered -itwas throughout theentire area covered .

The Greytown Gazette for three yearshad reported not only on the lack of waterbut on the excessive salaries and paymentsto the non-executive board of directors ofuThukela.

In March 2008 Province took overuThukela stating that one of its biggestproblemswas its exorbitant operating costs. Umzinyathi subsequently took over thebilling.

Umzinyathi is nowtrying the soft soapap-proach - the editor who has an outstandingR21 000 received such a friendly reminderlast week that the outstanding amountshould have been paid by 10th October -ifnot, please send promptly! All this from a“yours sincerely” Umzinyathi MunicipalManager.

TheGreytownGazette has consulted a lo-

cal lawyerwhopoints out there is noobliga-tion as the outstanding debit has not beenresolved by uThukela and “it has in anyevent long since being prescribed as morethan three years have passed since it wasraised.” Anyone who is still being billed isasked to contact the Greytown Gazette sothat a meeting can be held with the lawyerto send a group reply to Umzinyathi to droptheseridiculousamountsandnormalise theaccounts.

NOVEMBER each year is part of a worldwide campaign which changes the nameof the month to "Movember", in order toacknowledge the sprouting of millions ofmoustaches around the world.

By doing so,men raise funds and aware-ness for prostate and testicular cancer andmental health, to bring about Movember'svision of making an everlasting impact onmen's health.

Movember challenges men to grow amoustache for the 30–days of November,thereby changing their appearance andthe face of men's health.

In October, men can sign up at Movem-ber.com, andon1Movember,with a clean–shaven face, start their journey. Then forthemonth,nowknownas theMoBros,meneffectively become walking, talking bill-boards. And through their growing efforts,they raise awareness for the often ignoredissues of men's health by prompting con-versations wherever they go.

Another crucial part of being a Mo Brois to raise funds for prostate and testicularcancer and mental health sufferers.

Men donate their face and, like takingpart in a run for charity, ask their familyand friends to sponsor their moustachegrowing efforts.

Movember's not just for men. The wom-en of Movember are known as Mo Sistas.

They play a vital role in supporting andencouraging the men in their life to get in-volvedandbysigningupatMovember.com,they can participate by raising funds andawareness themselves.

Essentially, Mo Sistas do everything thatMo Bros do but of course, without a mous-tache.

Since its humble beginnings in 2003 inMelbourne, Australia, Movember hasgrown to become a truly global movementinspiring more than three million Mo BrosandMo Sistas in 21 countries. In 2012, thecampaign raised over one billion randthroughout the world.

Movember is a world wide mustachegrowing charity which supports worldclass men's health programs that combatprostate and testicular cancer and mentalhealthchallenges.Theseprograms,direct-ed by the Movember Foundation, are fo-cused on awareness and education, livingwith and beyond cancer, staying mentallyhealthy, living with and beyond mental ill-ness and research to achieve its vision ofan everlasting impact on the face of men'shealth.

Killer road prayers

Sir,It must be sad and disappointing times

in our democracy when a third tier of gov-ernment collapses and anAdministrator isappointed by the provincial Government.

It is unique in ademocracywhenaCoun-cil implodes and a District Council is calledto answer for its financial failures.We, thecommon people, and its citizens remain si-lent. Either because we are indifferent ortoo embarassed to express any opinion be-causeourprecious votehasbeenbetrayed.

When we were elected to the first demo-craticANC ledCouncil,without anyexperi-

ence in Local Government, our objectiveswere clear: leadership;good governanceand fiscal discipline.

Council lost these objectives after we leftand the decline began. I had warned thecitizens of Umvoti in these columns in myletter of 27 May 2005 (”Council in ChoppySeas”) that the decline had begun.

Finally Council sank and drowned.The Administrator is sent to refloat

Council. This exercise is a political pallia-tive and unless Council returns to the roadwe set out on there is little hope.

SIYAKHULA Imvunulo co–op is a lo-cal co–op with an interesting back-ground. Established in 1995 by re-tired nursing sister TA Khoza,she called unemployed women touniteandcurbstarvationandpover-ty.

The closure of the shoe manufac-turing company (BATA) had leftmany unemployed, particularlywomen.

So Khoza initiated a beadmakingventure, althoughsheherself didnotknow much about beadwork, shewas keen to learn.

It was an informal group who justgot together to earn asmuch as theycould.

In 1996 there was a great break-through for the women – they werewere selected to design and make800 badges for an environmental

conference to be held in South Afri-ca.

There was limited time to com-plete this task but the ladies did it,working tirelessly day and night tomeet the deadline.

Then in 2005, KZN MEC of eco-nomic development, Dr Zweli Mkh-ize, embarked on a programme inKZN to promote and form co–opera-tives.

Themembers of the Siyakhula Im-vunulo co–op formalised their groupinto a co–op and underwent trainingat an Umgungundlovu FET campus.

Since then they have displayedand sold their work at exhibitions inKZN – chairperson Grace Ndlovumet up with other co–ops to exhibitin Reunion under the auspices of theDepartment of Economic Develop-ment KZN.

The co–op was also invited to ex-hibit in Italy but were unable to be-cause of financial restraints.

Ndlovu told the Greytown Gazettethat over the years "they have strug-gled, but kept the ball rolling".

However as they do not get anygrants–in–aid or funding, they needto get the support of the com-munity.

Please contact Ndlovu at 071 6316848 to see the very comprehensiveand exciting range of beaded andtraditional articles produced by themembers of the co–op.

WithChristmasonthehorizonandfor those making trips round SouthAfrica and overseas, the co–op'srange will provide some interestingand appreciated gifts.

Support local crafts

On a recent visisit to Greytown, Mec for Human Settlements, Mr Revi Pillay,bought several items from Grace Ndlovu made by the co–op

Wayback inMay,UmvotiMunicipali-ty were charging electricity consum-ers R2 000 for “tempering “ the firsttime .ASergeant Street resident,wastold by IGODA officials that hismeterhad been tampered with, power cutoff and restored when you pay R2000. The consumer concerned didjust that but told the Greytown Ga-zette that neither he, nor anyone liv-ing in his home, had tampered withthe meter.

An even worse scenario is an elec-tricity consumer living in Enhla-lakahle who received an account forback charges of just under R20 000.On 9th July, IGODA came to thehouse and told her theywere discon-nectingbecause of the amount owed.She managed to get a loan to pay offthat amount but when she requestedreconnectionwas told she had to payR2 500 -which she did.

But theMunicipalitywould still notreconnect sending her a bill in Au-gust for over R4 000 -when she que-ried was told by the Electricity de-partment that they were unable tohelp her as that amountwas for elec-tricity . BUT no-onehasbeen to readthemeterwhich the consumer statescould be faulty.The consumer is ap-pealing for help as having done herbest to meet the demands she is nowdesparate and doesn’t know whereto turn to get her electricity restoredfor her and her family.

Please contact the Greytown Ga-zette if you have experienced anysuchproblems(excluding illegalcon-nections!)

Our Grade 12s have already written three oftheir final examinations, and are, no doubt,looking forward to the moment the invigilatorsays “put down your pens” for the very lasttime. On 18 October, we honoured ourmatriculants at their final awards ceremony.These results will be published next week.

Hermannsburg Happenings“Hands-on in the class-room” is what it’s about- this year, the Grade 9to 11 biologists wereable to watch a calf dis-section,performedbyDrJane Wessels and herteam, before observingthe dissection of theheart, trachea &lungsand oesophagus fromthe autopsy. They wereable to blow down thetrachea, to see how thelungs expand and relaxduring breathing. TheGrade 10s were thenable to take a closer lookby staining their ownslides of blood cells forviewing under micro-scopes, as well as look-ing at the slides of bil-iary, provided by DrWessels, and seeing forthemselves how the par-asites affect the cells.The Grade 11s then dis-sected a heart, andwereable to stain their ownslides to view bacteria,gaining valuable insightinto how a pathologylaboratory goes aboutidentifying pathogens. Abig ‘Thank You’ to DrWessels for providingthe animal organs fordissectionand for takingtime to come and shareher valuable experienceand knowledge aboutblood, bacteria, and theoperation of a pathologylaboratory.

Errol Rottcher andstaff of Brokersure

147 Pine Street, Greytown

To the community of Greytownand Sponsors.

A BIG THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTINGTHE 2013 DIWALI SHOW.

Wishing all a blessed and safeDiwali.

From P Manobath andFamily.

From President Shri VishnuMandir Mrs R Aheer:

Deepavali literally means arowof lights. It is themostpopu-lar festival on the Hindu calen-dar. It is unique because it hascombined religious, historicaland seasonal significance.

The festival signifies the vic-tory of divine forces over thoseof evil.

It is a joyous celebration ofthe homecoming of Lord Raam.On this day, he returned to hisbirthplace, Ayodhya, afterspending fourteen years in ex-ile, during which time he de-featedmany demons, includingRavana.

The people of Ayodhya litthousandsofclay lamps(deepa)towelcomeRaam,SitaandLak-shman.

Houses are thoroughlycleaned and new clothes are

worn.Gifts,greetingscardsandsweetmeats are exchangedandfireworks displays are held inmany towns.

Traditionally, Hindus regardthisasanauspiciousdaytostarta new life with new thoughtsand aspirations.

Aprayer isofferedtoGoddessLakshmi (goddess of wealth).

Deepavali is also a reminderthat justice brings victory.

On the day preceding Deep-avali,ShriKrishnakilledthede-mon Narakaasur who had en-slaved 16 000 unmarrieddaughters of kings, thus settingthem free.

The seasonal significance ofthe festival is that in India, theharvest after the rainy moon-soon period ismarked byDeep-avali.

Thanks are offered to the Al-mighty God by reciting prayers

and making a symbolic gestureof offering grains into thesacred fire called Yajna.

Deepavali signifies the victo-ry of light over darkness,knowledge over ignorance andgoodness over evil.

Its spiritual message is con-veyed by the famous Hindu

Deepavali and everlasting hap-piness.

We thank all sponsors fortheir contributions to theDeep-avali hampers. We extend aninvitation to all to theDeepavaliHavan on Saturday, 2 Novem-ber at 3pm in the Temple, Cath-cart Street.

Deepavali message

prayer “Thamsoma sat gamaya.Thamso ma jyotirgamaya” meaning“lead me from un-real to real. Leadusfrom darkness tolight”.

On behalf of theofficials and mem-bers of the ShriVishnu MandirVidya PracharniSabha I take thisopportunity towishone and all a joyous

THEGreytownGazette publishes amonth-ly Shadow Column to list events tocome.

However it would appear from the lackof response from schools, sports clubs,churches etc that no events have beenscheduled from now until nextyear!

Themain objective is to notify the publicof what events are scheduled to take place,so as to avoid, as far aspossible, twoeventson the same day which could create prob-lems not only for the organisers, but alsofor the public.

An appeal is made to all Churches,NGO’s, sports bodies, clubs etc to submitdates and event details to the GreytownGazette for publication as soonas possible.

From now until the end of the year thereare so many events so please notify us, ei-ther verbally or electronically, in time forthe next Shadow column.
