Liquid gold mafia exposed
Jacqueline Herbst
The discovery of an illegal fuel depot hidden deep
in the Isithebe township, has apparently exposed a
large-scale stolen fuel syndicate allegedly involving the taxi industry, corrupt police and politicians
on the North Coast.
The web of racketeering is well organised, including insiders in transport companies, truck drivers,
garage managers, taxi associations and police and
politicians who own taxis.
“These guys know how to cover up their books
and even private investigators are finding it difficult
to pin down offenders. This is a big syndicate and
we need the Hawks to investigate,” said a police
source who revealed the syndicate’s modus operandi to The North Coast Courier.
There is no fuel theft reported locally and no fuel
tankers are being hijacked, however, transport companies picked up that they have been losing fuel.
Sources within the petrol industry said some North
Coast service stations have been losing up to
R100 000 in fuel sales a month because customers
have been filling up at illegal depots at R10 per litre
- compared to the current diesel price of R11.37.
The source explained that transport company
insiders abuse a loophole in the system which
allows for some fuel loss to spillage and evaporation, to overfill tankers at their depots.
The driver then pulls over on a quiet piece of road
along the delivery route, commonly on the N2
north of the Mandeni toll gate, and offloads the
extra fuel to a syndicate buyer.
They are able to bypass the tankers’ computers by
means of gravity siphoning with custom manufactured pipes and fittings that siphon fuel unnoticed.
Eric Sthole used his beadwork skills learned at school to set up his Willard Beach business.

When Eric Sthole lost his job in a joinery making coffins and caskets to put bread on the
table, he was faced with a choice: turn to a life
of crime or think creatively.
Born and raised in Kranskop, in the KwaMxhosa area outside Maphumulo, Eric’s people
gave no thought to doing handicrafts and
beadwork for a living. But Eric had been
taught beadwork at school, so faced with a
hungry family, he decided to apply those skills
learned long ago.
The Shaka’s Head resident set up a small
stand next to the lifesaver’s cabin on Willard
Beach where he has developed a fun and
quirky approach to beadwork decoration.
To make his work different to others, he collects bottles, washes them and decorates them
with copper wire and beads, to make it usable
again. He also buys tin mugs and covers them
with beads.
“What looks like rubbish to most people, to
me is business and I use my skills to make you
pay for what you have thrown away. You can

decorate it with wire and beads,” said Sthole.
When The North Coast Courier visited him
last Thursday, he was busy covering an electric
lamp a customer had ordered.
Sthole said when he started his business eight
years ago, it was very difficult because he did
not have a permit. So he chose a spot where he
could hide his products when KwaDukuza
traffic and crime prevention patrolled the
area. He has a permit now.
His latest project is to work out how he can
grow his business to be able to employ other
people in his township.

Truck drivers sell fuel to
organised syndicate
The blazing fire caused by petrol thieves at the N2 Shell garage in March destroyed a petrol tanker
and a van carrying siphoned fuel.
Continued from Page 1
The stops are quick and when questioned by an
employer about an unscheduled stop, picked up by
the tanker’s GPS system, drivers usually just say
they needed the toilet.
Some service station managers are apparently
willing to cover for taxi drivers and issue fake
receipts to those caught with suspicious quantities
of fuel on board. It is illegal to store more than 200
litres of fuel without appropriate licencing.
This “get out of jail free” card issued by service
stations makes it impossible to make charges stick,
the source said.
“All fuel looks the same. How do you prove
which tanker or garage a batch of fuel comes
from?”
The source said that a number of police officers
and councillors were suspected of being involved.
On March 27, 42 000 litres of petrol and diesel
went up in smoke and the N2 Umvoti Shell garage
was partially burnt down when a generator, used to
pump petrol and diesel into containers on the back
of a small truck parked between two fuel tankers,
sparked a raging fire.
Two truck drivers who were arrested were later
released on bail.
It is understood that a recent court case involving
transport company Unitrans losing fuel to the syn-
dicate, has fallen through.

less than a kilometre down the road. Uncontrolled
fuel run-off and fuel seeping into the soil also pose
a health risk to the community.
Bail opposed for alleged
farm attackers
Erica Abrahams
The condition of 80-year-old farmer, Simon Shepherd, who was attacked at his home in Upper Tongaat last month, is deteriorating rapidly.
Two intruders broke into his Misty Ridge home
on June 19 and beat him up while his wife, Joy, hid
in the wardrobe. The attack left Shepherd with five
broken ribs, a gash to the head and multiple wounds.
After weeks of being in ICU, Shepherds condition
worsened when he contracted a lung infection.
“My dad was recovering well, he was even
moved out of ICU for a day. We were informed on
Thursday night, July 7 that he had to be moved
back to ICU because he was struggling to breathe.
He is now in an induced coma and on a ventilator,”
said his son, David.
The two suspects were arrested on June 23 and
June 25 and are still in custody. They were due to
appear in court on Tuesday, July 12.
The Umhlali detective handling the case, constable Sidusiso Nkwanyana said that in light of Shepherd’s current condition, he will oppose bail.
“We asked the family to bring us Simons’s medical records. What they allegedly did to the man was
horrible and the community needs to be kept safe
from people like this. They will be appealing for
bail in front of the magistrate and I will be opposing. Ultimately the decision lies with the magistrate
Simon Shepherd suffered multiple injuries and
remains in ICU.
but I do have a strong case, especially with Simon’s
recent set back.”
David said that although his father’s condition
did not look good, the family hoped that the fighter
would pull through.
“He has already overcome so much and we pray
that we will get through this recent setback,” he
said.

Isithebe, survival of
the fittest

Charles Darwin’s theory of natural selection,
applied as a metaphor for economic environments,
is busy unfolding in Isithebe industrial park.
The violent protests in March and the week long
siege of the Sundumbili waterworks, rapidly
changed the industrial park’s economic landscape,
leaving those who were unable to adapt quickly
with no choice but to close down.
The 150 businesses in Isithebe lost three weeks of
production due to protests caused by the ANC’s
internal power struggle.
A confirmed 2300 jobs were lost last week as
three factories and a warehouse in Isithebe went
belly up. Zikiza Joinery and Distinctive Choice
closed down and it was announced that the Gomma
Gomma warehouse, that burnt down in March, will
not be reopened. The Okapi factory in Isithebe is
also no longer operational since it has been relocated to Pinetown. Managing director, Kevin Chadwick denied that the relocation was related to the
financial loss suffered as a result of the protests.
The Distinctive Choice clothing factory in Yellow Street employed 1500 workers and has not
been open since it was torched by protesters in
March and Zikiza Joinery, described on their outdoor signage in Red Street as the fastest growing
joinery manufacturer in South Africa, shut down
four factories that employed 800 people. A notice
taped to their Red Street premises’ gate said they
had to stop production because the bank ceased
financing. When The North Coast Courier visited
Isithebe, Mthembu Zulu, a security guard who
guarded the Distinctive Choice premises in Yellow
Street was still unaware that the factory had been
closed down and still believed that “the people”
would come back to work.
In the meantime, Ithala Business Development
Corporation has backed off the eviction notices
served two weeks ago to about 60 businesses in
Isithebe.
Following a successful meeting brokered by the
Ilembe Chamber on Thursday, July 7, Ithala has
agreed to negotiate with tenants on a one-on-one
basis to come to an agreement on rental fees.
A source in Isithebe revealed that rent in Isithebe
was below market value because it was left
unchanged for a long time, leaving landlords unable
to maintain the buildings.
Isithebe reportedly hopes to have lease and rental
negotiations finalised by October.
“The meeting has opened up official channels of
communication between Ithala and its tenants,
which was part of the problem up to now,” said a
source in Isithebe.
Seven arrested for burning

Shaka’s Head residents protested on Tuesday
morning, blocking the N2, R102 and all the internal
roads in the township after seven people were
arrested on Monday night in connection with the
burning of Shaka’s Head councillor, Jetro Banda’s
house and car on February 22.
KZN SAPS spokesperson, lieutenant colonel
Thulani Zwane, said the perpetrators are between
23 and 45 years old. They appeared at the Umhlali
Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday charged with public
violence, arson and malicious damage to property.
Ward youth committee member, Philile Siyaya,
said an angry mob descended on her home on Tuesday morning, accusing her of helping police to
identify the perpetrators. They broke her front door
and fridge.
“I was getting ready to
go work, when I heard a
noise. When I opened
the door, I saw protesters
coming to my house and
I ran to my neighbour’s,”
said Siyaya.
She was escorted by
the police out of the
township with her oneyear-old daughter,
Zekhethelo.
In February, Shaka’s
Head residents protested
against the outcome of the ANC ward candidate
nomination meeting that was held last October,
where Banda reportedly won by 85 votes. They
wanted Mlamuli Ndlela as their candidate and
accused Banda of manipulating the process. They
finally won that battle when Ndlela was announced
as a candidate for ward four.
Ndlela denies rumours that he took part in the
burning of his rival’s house and car. He said that
even the people who have been arrested are innocent.
“They were not part of the crowd who burnt the
house and car. This is just dirty political games,”
said Ndlela.
The arrested residents were released on R2000
bail each and they will appear in court again on
Thursday.

On the road to recovery
Jacqueline Herbst
A year ago when water and sanitation minister,
Nomvula Mokonyane visited a 26 per cent full
Hazelmere Dam, it seemed the dam was doomed to
fail before the end of the year.
Certain sections of the dam were dry enough to
walk across on foot and resembled a parched desert
landscape with cracked earth and dead trees.
Exactly a year later, thanks to little bouts of rain
when all seemed to be lost and water authorities’
drought mitigation efforts, the dam is at a much
healthier 43.97 per cent and some sections that were
bone dry in July last year, now have enough water
for fishing.
The emergency pipeline is still transferring
about eight million litres
per day across from the
Tongaat River into the
dam and water restrictions adhered to by consumers have contributed
to the survival of the
region’s only dam.
Hazelmere Dam duty
officer, Sarah Zuma said
although the dam is now
a little deeper, it is still too
low to launch boats. A
fisherman who tried to
launch a boat on the
weekend got stuck in the
mud.
“Only once the dam
has reached 60 per cent
will people be able to
launch again,” said
Zuma.
She said people still
came to fish from the
banks, have picnics,
camp or stay in the
chalets.
“Because of the
drought we are charging only 50 per cent
of the normal
entrance fee,” said
Zuma.
When The North
Coast Courier visited
the dam on Friday,
July 8 there were two
guys fishing with
kick boats (small
inflatable one-man
boats that can be
launched without a
trailer) and the
grounds were well
maintained.
Although the dam
level is about 20 per
cent higher than it
was 12 months ago,
the drought is by no
means over and water
restrictions still apply
at least until the dam
reaches 60 per cent. Although still critically low, Hazelmere Dam is in a far better state than it
was a year ago.

A group of dedicated animal lovers layered on their
winter clothes and spent a cold, Saturday night last
weekend at Ballito Kennels to raise awareness and
money for Ballito’s Puppy SOS.
The dogs were thrilled to have a bed buddy for
the night and the volunteers enjoyed the eye-opening experience.
Puppy SOS’ David Hanson is incredibly grateful
for the support and said they raised R25 000 in
sponsorship.
“For the first time, we have been able to clear our
vet account and all our kennel fees are up to date,”
said Hanson.
One of the volunteers, Jade Ashford, wrote the
following short account of her night in a kennel:

Petrol jockey dreams big
Erica Abrahams
The friendly smile that greets customers at the Caltex garage in the Ballito
Business Centre, hides a story of the
struggle and determination of a young
township man who, despite multiple
setbacks, is determined to succeed.
Friendly 23-year-old petrol attendant,
Thobelani Zondi is qualified in the
field of marketing but, like many, has
struggled to find employment while
also having to support a brother who is
addicted to drugs.
“I had good results in school and
after matric I was accepted at the Durban University of Technology to study
marketing. I received my diploma
after three years and set off to
Pretoria to find a job,” said Zondi.
After a year of fruitless job hunting
he returned home to Etete.
“I became the breadwinner and
although I have my diploma in marketing, I am grateful to have a job. It is
an honest living and I am not
ashamed.”
With Zondi’s outgoing nature and
love for people, he is passionate about
influencing others to lead an honest
lifestyle.
“I want people to know that even
though it is difficult to find a job, crime
should not be an escape. Too many
teenagers from Etete leave school and
turns to drugs. They steal, sometimes
from their own houses, to feed their
habit.”
The problem hit close to home when
Zondi’s 15-year-old brother left school
and became addicted to drugs.
“It hurts to see him the way he is. He
is so young and he looks terrible. I am
saving money to send him to rehab but
I know that it will not be a quick fix
and that the long-term solution will be
to move him out of the township. “
Zondi spends time trying to encourage the youth to further their education
and concentrate on school. He knows
that his current position is just temporary and that one day, his hard work
and dedication will pay off.
Zondi works passionately while praying for better opportunities.

The province’s flagship entrepreneurship programme, the Ilembe
Chamber Entrepreneurs competition, got underway on Saturday, July
9 at the Ilembe Chamber offices.
The 25 participants, hand-picked from 150 entries, represent all
corners of the Ilembe district in the sixth running of the competition.
In order to deliver on sponsors’ expectations of viability beyond
two years and job creation, mentors will dedicate the next eight Saturday mornings (with mentorship continuing throughout the week) to
train and assist each small business represented in the competition.
To keep it fresh, this year sees the introduction of specialists in different areas of business contributing their expertise to the weekly
workshops. One of them is business consultant, Anton Ressel who
took time out of his Durban vacation to mentor participants
on growth in business.
“The purpose of the programme is to see how the Chamber
can support you from a non-financial point of view, to
achieve the sponsors’ expectations,” Ilembe Chamber CEO,
Cobus Oelofse told participants in his opening speech.
A diverse range of small business enterprises are represented in this year’s competition, including farming, steel
manufacturing, furniture manufacturing, health and baby
care products, medical tourism, a photographer, a laundry
service and a guesthouse.

It all seems so easy, right: you record a couple of songs, play some gigs, sell CD’s, get your face

doesn’t always get you rich. So how do you become a successful musician? Are you interested?

The Cornubia development, a joint venture of
eThekwini municipality and Tongaat Hulett,
recently welcomed a R1.5 billion investment for a
shopping mall that will occupy 8.5 hectares.
Just 15 kilometres from King Shaka International
airport, the R25 billion development was approved
in 2014 and is predicted to be a huge contributor to
the livelihood and economy of the North Coast.
Tongaat Hulett’s development executive, Karen
Petersen, said the development of the shopping
mall would benefit many people on the North
Coast.
“This alone will create 3 856 construction jobs
yearly. Permanent and sustainable jobs will be 3
407 and employment over the entire six-year construction period would be 23 138,” she said.
The Cornubia development, deemed as a national
high priority, extends through Mt Edgecombe and
Umhlanga as well as lower income areas like KwaMashu, Inanda, Ntuzuma, Phoenix and Ottawa.
Cornubia is set to be a mixed income, fully integrated “human settlement” with a town centre,
business hub, industrial estate and now a retail
shopping centre. The land will provide 24 000
homes, 15 000 of which are proposed for subsided
housing.
The retail investment is the first transaction
between Investec and Tongaat Hulett that developers hope will serve as a catalyst for the broader area
and unlock further sales.
“It will serve as a key landmark and asset as the
development of Cornubia unfolds, WBHO, as the
main contractors of the shopping centre is building
at speed and the construction site shows huge progress. The development is scheduled to open in
September 2017,” said Petersen.
National retailers which include, Dis-chem, Pepkor Group, Woolworths, Edcon Group, Virgin
Active, Pick n Pay, Clicks, Bakos Brothers, Outdoor Warehouse, Nu Metro, Checkers, Cotton On,
Truworths, The Spur Group and Burger King
booked space in the new mall.

about this. Look at the photo of where I parked there is nothing to say the road is restricted. My car
wasn’t blocking the traffic - cars could easily pass.
I’ve been told before that our traffic cops are killing the goose that lays the golden eggs, but this is
the first time I’ve experienced it first-hand.
Given the fact that the retail festival takes up the
whole Willard Beach parking area, where is one
supposed to park? There are some spaces behind La
Montagne and Balvista centre, a few more along
Dolphin Crescent, a few nooks and crannies here
and there - after that there’s only the pavements.
How many tickets do you suppose the cops wrote
over the two weeks? 500? 1 000? 5000? Your guess
is as good as mine, because they’re not talking. But
I am sure there’s a lot of unhappy people.
Now let’s apply some logic to this. You want the
people to come to Ballito, so help them! Create
more parking for the event. Hire marshalls to direct
cars to those places. That will give much-needed
jobs. Car owners give tips to car guards. Car owners
happy. Car guards happy. Everyone happy. Everyone comes back next year!
France was one of the first countries - to my knowledge - to introduce special tourism police to the
streets of Paris, and the practice has spread around
the world.
Where has it spread to? To Thailand, Mauritius,
Malaysia and many more countries that have
realised that tourism is big business. Why do tourists need special attention? Because, in their innocence, they often fall foul of local rules and regulations. With a few words, they can be helped to
avoid misfortune and enjoy the best of the place
they are visiting. If they were simply arrested or
fined, the experience would leave a bad taste. They
would tell their friends and the word would spread
that country ‘A’ was to be avoided.
It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to work out fewer
visitors would mean less income for the country.
Domestic and foreign tourism was worth around
R100 billion to South Africa, according to SA Tourism’s 2015 annual report. Of that, Ilembe earns
about R1.6 billion a year, and I would hazard a
guess that the bulk of that is earned by KwaDukuza,
in particular the Ballito holiday hub.
Why am I spelling this out like a “Tourism for
Idiots” guide? I’ll come to that in a moment.
No signs, no lines restricting parking.
You can view the tourists/holidaymakers visiting
Ballito as chickens ripe for the plucking, or as conPerhaps I’m being unfair, perhaps nobody has

Sentence is an insult to women
The sentence of six years imposed on Oscar Pistorius for the murder of Reeva Steenkamp is an insult
to women all over
the world.
A person who
willfully shoots
someone through a
closed door thinking there was an intruder, even
though your partner is not lying next to you in bed,
should be given at least the minimum sentence for
murder which is 15 years. This judgment has now
set a precedent and has given menthe authority to
kill their partners and using the same
Burning schools destroys our future
excuse as Oscar.
In order to fight for women’s rights the state must
now take this matter to a
higher prosecuting authority
and have this judge recused
from this case as she clearly is
not meting out justice fairly.
This mild sentence given to Oscar has shamed our
nation and brought our justice system into disrepute.

Beware gate motor conman
Please make readers of The Courier aware that
we have a new conman in our midst.
I like to support Ballito businesses when I
can, so when my gate was needing repair I saw
an advertisement for (name supplied) and
telephoned him. He recommended a new
motor, but as he was just starting out asked
that I pay for the motor in advance and he
would buy and collect and bring it to us for
fitting by him.
I paid R4100 into his account and since then
cannot get any joy. At first it was excuses, now
he just does not answer any phone calls or
emails.
I went to the police to lay a charge and was
told they could not accept it as it was a civil
matter - an agreement between him and me so unless I go to a lawyer, which will cost me
more money, he is free to move on to his next
sucker customer and con them. He can make a
living out of this kind of con. He drives a dark
blue Fiat or Golf.
It has since come to my notice that he has
also conned other people in our area.

We were referred to CMH Nissan in Ballito and put
in the hands of Andre Joseph.
He gave us his undivided attention and showed us
everything available. Having decided in a new
small vehicle, we signed the offer to purchase on
Monday, paid on Tuesday and had the car of our
choice delivered with everything we required fitted,
on Wednesday morning.
Every step of the way he kept us up to date with
phone calls, emails and sms’s. We couldn’t have
had better service and recommend Andre Joseph to

(dog owners just seem to grab and go!) by their
hunched shoulders, furrowed brow, pursed lips and
anxious eyes, scanning the shelves for THAT brand
that may hopefully meet the approval of the precious, furry f(r)iend back home.
What will it be, sighs the hapless human - pellets
(or kibbles), tinned or sachets with gravy, jelly,
sauce, minced, or chunks?
Months of whisp(k)ered threats and PETulent
meowing, disgusted glares at every meal offered,
persistent hovering all deliberate attempts to
weaken your resolve NOT to give in, sudden flash
of fur as one is about to descend the stairs . . . anyone who has ever owned, no let me re-phrase, anyone who has ever BEEN owned by a feline knows
how persistent and successful these furry critters
are at getting what they deem to be their constitutional right!

Bodasing (centre) with pupils of the school.
Recently the Harry Bodasingh Primary School
acknowledged and thanked the youth of 1976 for
their bravery in fighting the apartheid government
40 years ago.
Today we commemorate the role they played in
taking part in the Soweto protests of 1976, many of
whom were shot by the apartheid police while protesting against the sub-standard of education in
black schools in South Africa. Learners were
enlightened on the true significance of June 16th. I
showed them pictures of the protest and the famous
picture of 13-year-old Hector Pieterson – the iconic
image of Pieterson’s body being carried by high
school student Mbuyisa Makhubo, with his sister,
Antoinette Sithole, running alongside.
I also spoke to them of their method of protest
being a peaceful one compared to the youth of
today. Today’s youth live in a democratic society:
they are not subjected to police or defence force
cruelty, they have a right to protest yet they burn
down and destroy institutions of empowerment at
any opportunity without thinking of the consequence it holds for their future.
They engage in drugs and alcohol, destroying
their lives before even building them. Burning educational facilities postpones and destroys their
chances of making a better life. They must fight
peacefully.
Let us follow the youth of 1976 and the great
leaders that brought change in our country the right
way like Mahatma Gandhi and Nelson Mandela.
Learners danced and sang the song freedom is coming tomorrow, we then did a candle light and learners shouted in the crowd “Mayibuye, iAfrika,
iAfrika Mayibuye” then the entire school closed the
program with the national anthem

Hassle-free with CellC
Recently I went to CellC Tongaat to get a new
phone. The staff were very friendly and warm
towards my friend and I, even the new trainee.
Their service was quick and effective. I got a
contract within 30 minutes, whereas the day before
I spent 45 mins at MTN for them to eventually tell
me they can’t give me a contract due to my having
no credit history. CellC just gave it to me with no
long waits or hassles. Thanks to CellC for their
warm and friendly service. Keep up the good work.

weather data. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), which in laymans term’s is NASA for the oceans and atmosphere, is constantly monitoring climate data
and is considered the global leader as a source
of information. The severity of an El Niño event
is measured by the positive deviation from average sea surface temperatures across a number
of sites in the Pacific monitored by NOAA. The
data from all these sites shows that as of May
2016, El Niño is effectively over and that there is
therefore little reason to expect sub-average
rainfall in our region for the coming summer.
In addition to this, a severe El Niño event is typically followed by La Niña (the reverse of El
Niño), which is measured by negative deviation
from average sea surface temperatures. The
general consensus is that a 75% chance of La
Niña developing over the coming months exists probably by the start of our summer. La Niña
typically leads to lower than normal temperatures and higher than normal rainfall for our
area.
So while the situation remains serious, the likelihood of dams failing in 2017 is very remote.

This is your invitation into a conversational prayer
relationship with Him.
He wants to speak to you and has a lot of amazing
things to say to you and about you. He tells you the
awe inspiring things he has done for you, and still
wants to do for you. But, unlike ordinary human
beings, He does not speak to just give us information. When He speaks, his words are weightier than
anyone else’s, because his words have creative
power. After all, He created the whole world and all
the beauties of creation by simply speaking the
word: “Let there be ... and there was.” (See Genesis
1). So when he speaks to you, yes, he probably will
give you some important information, but his words
will do much more than just that, they will create
fresh and amazing things in your life.
You can really get to know him, in all his awesomeness as you read the Bible, expecting him to
speak to you personally. Read slowly, savouring the
nuances of the various ideas. Take time to meditate
on the truths and their rich impact on your life.
The Bible is a miraculous book that God has
placed in our hands. You may ask: “How can you
make such a statement?”
The supernatural nature of the Book is demonstrated by the following:
There are over two hundred prophecies about
Jesus in the Jewish section of the Bible. The Jews
have kept the scriptures with meticulous care.
These prophecies were fulfilled in detail in Jesus’
life. Here are just a few examples:
• He was born of a virgin. (Isaiah 7:14)
• He was born in Bethlehem. (Micah 5:2)
• He rode into Jerusalem on a donkey. (Zechariah
9:9)
• He was sold for 30 pieces of silver, and this
money was used to buy a potter’s field. (Zechariah
11:12)
• Jesus, died by crucifixion. (Psalm 22:16)
• They gambled for his robe. (Psalm 22:18)
Also it is well documented, historically, that Jesus
rose from the dead. You might say: “Come off it!
How can you prove that?”
Because over 500 eyewitnesses spoke boldly of
the risen Lord; and many were prepared to die for
this fact.
Also, thousands of people embraced this truth,
within a few weeks of his resurrection, and formed
the earliest church, right there in Jerusalem.

On June 8, the foundation phase pupils participated in a pyjama day as a fund-raising venture

Teaching with dramatic flair
Melissa Wood is the Specialist Dramatic Arts
teacher at Crawford North Coast College, known
for her eccentricity, creativity and remarkable success.
Her students enjoy a love-hate relationship with
her as she generally detests them and they adore
her.
This is the natural order of things in the universe
known as the Drama Studio - a dark place filled
with remarkably creative positive energy, at the
centre of which exists the enigmatic Ms Wood.
Her journey has been marked with notably dramatic successes as she graduated from the Natal
Technikon (now the Durban University of Technology) with a national diploma in Speech and Drama
with 16 subject distinctions. She then followed this
qualification with a post-graduate honours degree
in play production at UKZN.
She has performed widely and was nominated as
Best Comedy Actress at the Durban Theatre
Awards. She has also written and directed many
plays, one of which was nominated as best new SA
play at the Durban Theatre Awards. She and her
shows have performed to sold-out audiences at
both the Grahamstown and Hilton Festivals.
Having taught for 21 years at seven different schools, she found a resident position
at Crawford College North Coast 11
years ago where she has inspired her
Grade 12 students to achieve a
remarkable ‘A’ average for 11 consecutive years. During this time she
has written 10 productions, each
tailor-made for the actors who
successfully auditioned for the
show. Many of her drama students have entered the creative arts via fine arts
degrees offered at universities, or Vega and AFDA

Beer pong, live music and excellent company
took the Sables beer fest, held at Cane Cutters
resort in Sheffield Beach on Saturday, July 9,
to the next level of awesome.
The festivities, in aid of Sables Creatures, got
under way rather slowly at 2pm with cold
weather and rain threatening to put people’s
mood on ice.
However, people kept pouring into the beer
garden and they could not resist the lure of a
variety of ice cold craft beers on tap alongside
established brand name favourites on ice and
warm food from the Mozambik mobile
kitchen.
The party went from zero to 60 in minutes
when the team from Specialised Rescue Unit
opened the beer pong tables.
While the adults frequented
the beer garden, kids had
their faces painted and
expended all their energy,
playing on the jungle gyms and
trampoline.
Crystin Parnell and Brandon Bruwer were the first beer
pong winners.

Le Spice up your life

“People told me I was mad trying to sell pizzas
in Shaka’s Head, but the support from the
community has been amazing,” said Le Spice
restaurant owner, Rodney Philip at the launch
of his new eatery on Friday night, July 8.
Warm fires and vibey music warmed up a
crisp winter’s evening as guests savoured
freshly made food under the stars.
Describing Le Spice as a continental café/
upmarket shisa nyama dining experience
where you can sink your teeth into wood fire
pizza, tikka chicken, bunny chow, fragrant curries and shisa nyama.
Philip said he has brought a little bit of Ballito
to Shakashead.
Those who grew up in Pretoria might think
they have been transported to a reinvented
Casbah, minus the famous “blondie”.
Philip said he spent six months building up Le
Spice from not much more than a container to
the chilled outdoor spot it is today, boasting
not only tasty food, but also a pool table and
car wash.

NEWS
Are you the next young
farmer of the year?
Entries for the 2016 Toyota Young Farmer of the
Year have officially opened and KZN’s Agricultural Union, Kwanalu, is searching for an outstanding candidate to once again, do KZN proud.
In 2015, KZN’s provincial winner, 34-year-old
Anthony Goble, a sugarcane, banana and macadamia nut farmer from Tongaat, beat contestants from
all over the country to become the Agri SA/Toyota
SA Young Farmer of the Year, a first for the province.
This year’s national competition takes place in
October and the winner will drive away in a brand
new Tohota Hilux single cab.
“The way the competition is structured is great
and the judge’s visit is like a free consultation. The
added bonus is a great prize and the opportunity to
compete on the national stage and maybe even win
a bakkie. I encourage all young farmers to enter - let
us keep the trophy in KZN,” said Goble.
All young farmers under the age of 35, whether
owners or partners in a farm, male or female and
who are full members of their province’s agricultural union can enter.
Farmers’ business philosophy and the technical
competence with which this philosophy is applied
are the main features on which farmers are judged.
During the selection process, judges visit farmers
on their farms to look at all facets of the farmers’
business, including financing, budgets, investment
policy, technical aspects of livestock breeding systems, disease control, pasture systems, fertilization
and weed control and cultivation practices of crops
and orchards.
Young farmers are also judged on labour philosophy and housing, attitude and reaction towards land
reform and black economic empowerment as well
as personnel practices, involvement in organised
agriculture and the community and layout and
appearance of the farm and farmyard.
“We encourage all of our young farmers to enter
this year; they are the future of this country’s food
security and should be honoured,” said Kwanalu
CEO, Sandy La Marque.
She said the competition highlighted the great
skills and entrepreneurial spirit required to be a successful farmer.
Entries for the KZN Young Farmer of the Year
competition close on July 29, 2016. For more information or to enter, visit www.kwanalu.co.za or call
033-3429393.

Embroidery
for your eyes
Eyebrows are said to be the most important
feature of your face. They accentuate your
eyes, enhance your expressions and
emphasise facial symmetry.
But perhaps you are not satisfied with
the ones you have.
The micro-stoke technique or microblading (aka eyebrow embroidery) is the latest method for creating the most natural looking permanent eyebrows. Gone are the days of
stenciled, pasted-on looking eyebrows! Now
you can get a ‘tattoo’ that looks completely
natural.
We spoke to Cindy Brand of Vanilla Beauty
Salon in Salt Rock, one of the few local beauticians who offer this service.
“This is a very natural option that delivers
semi-permanent results. Unlike the sometimes
Sharpie-esque effects of permanent makeup,
microblading is more of an embroidery of
trompe l’œil (a visual illusion) with individual
strokes that look just like real hairs,” said
Brand.
She said the micro-stroke method is considered by the international beauty industry as
the highest standard in permanent eyebrows.
“During the first appointment I first design
the eyebrows using a cosmetic pencil and allow
the client to visualise the best shape for their
face. Every brow design is unique to suit each

client’s individual facial features and personality.”
Brand then places the pigment colour
strokes individually, hair by hair, to build the
eyebrow that looks “authentic, natural and
flawless”. Similar to a tatoo artist she uses a
fine blade instrument to create each individual
hair. The procedure takes an hour and lasts for
a few years.

that you have to make significant changes to your
lifestyle. Most people are able to eat the same foods
as before, lead normal lives, have careers, partners
and children, take part in sport, swim and travel all
over the world. It takes a while to get used to a
stoma, but your confidence increases with time.

two Àavours. The R8 V10 quattro S tronic, and
the V10 Plus quattro S tronic. The V8 version
is no more. I'm not going to dwell on the ¿rst
of these. At last week's media launch at Kyalami we didn't get to drive it. Besides, the vast,
overwhelming majority of new R8's sold will
be the more powerful, halo Plus model - which
I am going to tell you about.
Now those vital statistics include 449kW
and 560Nm at 6,500rpm from a free-revving,
naturally aspirated 5.2-litre V10 that will redline at a giddy 8,700rpm. Ample to scorch, the
R8 goes from rest to 100km/h in 3.2 seconds,
topping out at 330km/h. And it'll run from zero
to 200km/h in 9.9 seconds. That puts it smack
in supercar territory.
But - and this is a big "but" - there's way
more to the R8 than cold statistics. Try, for one,
styling that has subtly evolved from the original, while keeping the cabin-forward design,
long back, and comparatively short wheelbase.
And naturally those iconic sideblades, ¿nished
in gloss carbon, are still present and correct,
although they're now deliberately interrupted
by the car's shoulder line, while the Plus model
comes complete with ¿xed rear wing.
Dwell on this car a little - as owners and
onlookers are likely to do - and you get the
strangest sense that it belongs not in 2016, but
in 2026.
Then there's the driving experience. The R8
promises all the everyday usability, tractability and even (relatively speaking) practicality
of its forebear, with the slick, rapid-shifting
seven-speed S tronic dual-clutch transmission
adding to the user-friendliness of the car - and
its visceral thrills when you light it up.
Indeed, on hot laps of Kyalami, the midengined R8 V10 Plus quattro proved well...
extraordinary. At full chat it's almost like being in a video game, with that sports suspension mated to a quattro drivetrain pouring on
prodigious grip. Yet at the same time it's alive,
tactile, and utterly controllable - even under
duress - while standard ceramic brakes are
fade-free and perfectly modulated.
This car Àatters medium-level drivers into
feeling like pros, while aluminium-intensive
construction means a dry weight of just 1
454kg. Which translates into a wicked level of
wieldiness.
And of course it's an Audi. So it's exquisitely built with an interior that makes you
weep. Indeed, from driver-centred cockpit to
the turbine-shaped controls for the automatic
airconditioner to the lightweight bucket seats
¿nished in Alcantara or Nappa leather, you get
the impression that keeping costs down really
wasn't a factor when building this car.
Equipment levels are stellar. Of course. And
you can expect the Audi Virtual cockpit, ¿rst
seen on the TT, Bang & Olufsen sound, LED
lights (with the option of laser lights), and
R8 Performance steering wheel in perforated
leather with multifunction plus and four control satellites, as well as MMI Navigation plus
with MMI touch. The whole package, meanwhile, rolls on 19-inch wheels, with the option
of 20-inchers.
You'll pay R2,630,500 for the R8 V10
quattro S tronic, and R2,970,000 for the Plus
model - which of course is the one we've
been dwelling on. That includes a standard
¿ve-year/100,000km Audi Freeway Plan, an
evocative soundtrack... and the sneaking suspicion that, if anything, Audi is losing money
on those cars.
Yes, it's that adjective-defying, that Àawless.

s cute as this little Opel
Adam is, it's actually not so cute. All the
hot hatch-like trinkets probably give it away, but Adam
over here has had a ¿ery chili
shoved up the tailpipe to create what some are referring to
as a 'warm' hatchback.
Personally, I think that's a bit
of a rude term. If you read my
piece in last week's paper on the
Opel Corsa Sport, you'll know
I'm a big fan of a toned down
hot-hatch; something that is true
to the roots of the segment. This
looks to be more of that.
The Adam S does more to
show off it's ¿ery underpinnings
than the Corsa Sport. Deeper
skirts and bumpers start us off,
while a sneaky rear wing tops
things off, literally. It looks suitably belligerent, like the spoilt
teenager that might come to own
one only with loads more charm.
Eighteen-inch alloys housing
brakes from the Corsa OPC to
round off the look.
On the inside
Big bucket seats dominate the
space in the Adam, which honestly is already lacking. If you're
long in the leg, you're unlikely
to accommodate someone behind you as the driver, such is
the extent of space dominated
by the seats. That said, they
are marvelous seats. Supportive, comfortable and they look
amazing. There are red bits all
over the show and 'S' badges to
remind you what car you bought
aside from which you'll ¿nd
everything that a normal Adam
might have.
Behind the wheel
The Adam S is powered by
the same 1.4-litre turbo four pot
as you'll ¿nd in the Corsa Sport.

LOOK HOW FAR WE GO.
Accordingly there are 110kW and
220 torques. It's plenty in a car of this
stature, but don't come thinking you'll
be keeping up with Polo GTI's light-tolight.
That aside, braking is impressive,
and the ride is not bad considering the
oversized rims. It's grippy, chuckable
and the six-speed manual gearshift is
sweet. Negatives? The electric steering
is numb, like the Corsa Sport.
Pricing
At R330,000 it sure ain't cheap. The
closest competitor is probably something like the Fiat 500 Abarth, which hits
price lists at R355,000 odd. The Fiat has
even more charm and street cred, but is
less practical and not as well equipped.
Verdict
People might say the Adam S is a
'warm' hatch, but it certainly excites
more than that. It's funky looking, so
you'll stand out in the crowd and it has
enough go to satisfy most needs. The
Fiat might well win on overall lunacy,
but the sensible choice is de¿nitely the
Adam.

T
his year's KZN leg of
the 4x4 X-Track Racing Season will take
place on 23 July at Highstakes, Cato Ridge from 9am
to 5pm. Get there early to
avoid missing the action!
This year, the obstacles are
even more extreme, which presents great spectator value for a
full action-packed Day.
Here are some basic rules for
spectators to better understand
what they are watching:
Time trial
This is completed only once
by each competitor, normally at
the start of the day. The objective is to get around the time trial coarse with the quickest time.
Normal obstacles
Vehicles start with 60 points
and have to navigate through
a pegged route. For each peg
touched 20 points are lost and
for every rollback/ reverse, 10
points will be lost.
Progressive obstacles
Vehicles start with zero
points and have to navigate
through a nearly impossible
pegged route. The further you
get through the obstacle, the
more points you get. Only one
rollback/ reverse is allowed per
progressive obstacle. Any outside assistance, be it help from
a spectator, ends in disquali¿cation for that obstacle. If the vehicle rolls over and is unable to
continue, it means zero for that
obstacle.
Entrance is R40 for adults
and R20 for children under 14.

hen Hyundai launched their H1 bus
in 2007, it soon became a favourite
because it offered a classy package
with very keen pricing - the only model available in a naturally-aspirated 2,4 litre petrol,
priced at just R295,900, which was considerably less than its rivals.
Its 126kW and 234Nm petrol engine slotted in
at the back of the ¿eld when it came to performance, especially at altitudes where a turbo would
have helped, but then again, this was a bus with
seating for up to nine people. In 2010 they added
a diesel engine to the mix, and in January this year
gave the range a facelift and added a few more
luxury and safety features.
These include a revised dash layout, Bluetooth
connectivity, cruise control, climate control, rear
park distance sensors, glove-box cooling, side airbags and an electronic stability control system to
keep the plot together when things got dodgy on
the road. The steering wheel is now leather covered, as is the gear knob, and it has controls for the
cruise control and sound system.
There's also a new bumper and grille, along
with new 16" alloy wheels.
The bus sent to us for evaluation was the H1
turbodiesel nine-seater bus with a ¿ve-speed automatic transmission. This delivers 125kW at 4,400
rpm and 440Nm of torque from 2,000 to 2,250,
which allows it to reach the 100km/h benchmark
in 14,4 seconds. Top speed is claimed to be an academic 180km/h, which places it near the head of
the class in terms of performance.
It's a lovely performer on the road, and that
gravelly engine sound adds personality rather than
detracting from the driving experience. The gearbox works well enough despite not having a sixth
gear, and there's loads of torque available wherever the rev counter needle is pointing.
Space is what it's really about, and there's lots
of that. There are eight full seats, but the table top/
console unit between the driver and passenger can
be unfolded into a third front seat if required - as
long as the occupant isn't a 120kg two-metre tall
rugby player.
I really enjoyed the Hyundai, and could imagine
converting one into a camper van with a towbar for
a motorcycle trailer. The downside is that the damage inÀicted upon our currency has hit Hyundai
harder than other manufacturers, who earn import
credits for the cars they send overseas. Hyundai
imports all their cars, so full duties are payable and
the H1 diesel bus now retails at R614,900.
The petrol version with a manual transmission
kicks off at a more reasonable R499,900, but the
diesel version's performance makes it much more
appealing. It comes with a ¿ve year warranty on
the vehicle and a seven-year / 200,000km warranty on the drivetrain, as well as a ¿ve-year /
90,000km service plan.

Our annual junior tournament, sponsored by Tiffany’s Superspar, took
place on the recently-resurfaced
courts at Umhlali Country Club last
week. A good turnout of around 60
boys and girls varying in age from six
to fifteen took to the courts playing
singles, doubles and mixed doubles
round-robin matches with all finals
At the Net
taking place on Saturday.
It was great to host a few families
from out of town, some from as far
afield as Richards Bay and Vryheid.
The finals day proved to be one of the
best so far with some very closelycontested matches. Parents were biting their nails and emotions
were running high (sometimes too high!) as the kids fought their
hearts out to impress themselves and their families.
There was only one triple-winner this year with eight-year-old
Robyn Urquhart taking the honors in all under nine events singles, doubles and mixed doubles. Jaimie Fisher, Isabella
Wilson, Joe Hill, Sophie Hulett, Kiara Dura, Josh Heath and
Chanel Bates all made it two out of three.
The Brian Ward Fellowship trophy was awarded to Tamryn
White from Ballito.

Karate South Africa (KSA) youth head coach, Brando Pillay passed his referees kata (forms) exam with flying colours at the World Youth Cup in Croatia
two weeks ago.
Brando, who achieved his world karate federation coaching licence for
kumite last year and regularly conducts coaching workshops in Tongaat ,
headed the team KSA delegation to the world youth cup.
“The course was attended by almost a hundred aspiring referees from around
the globe (56 countries). Passing the tough exam at the conclusion of the course
was very gratifying” said Brando, who also serves as the technical convenor of
karate KZN.
As a WKF licenced coach Brando can now coach any national team around
the globe at international karate events.
The president of KSA, Sonny Pillay Hanshi, paid tribute to the national
coaching commission of KSA.
“Our coaches like Brando Pillay are making great strides in the international
karate arena around the globe and I look forward to them taking the youth of
KSA to the next level”, said Pillay.

Mamba madness
Elana Geist
skate his way to winning the junior division,
while Mamba skate park owner, Troy O’Sullivan,
hung onto his title once again.
“Both events were great and we would like to
give a huge shout out to everyone who supported
us,” said O’Sullivan.
Check out more photos and videos on their
Facebook page - Mamba Skate.
Top South African, adrenaline-pumped skateboarders united at Salt Rock’s Mamba Skate Park
recently for two of their biggest events of the year
- the King of the Mamba and Peg Lunar Projects
2016.
Supported by Red Bull and Gunslinger Longboards, the King of the Mamba saw
fast, action-packed skating, with a
few big wipeouts, which did not stop
the competitors from having another
go at claiming the crown.
Ballito local, Eben Combrinck was
crowned King, with Lungelo Mntambo coming in a close second and
Jordy Johnson hot on their heels in
third.
A few days later, the skate park
under the trees turned into an electrifying, light show with skateboarders
racing through smoke and lasers in
the Peg Lunar Projects event.
The spectators took in the visual
feast, while keeping warm around
two flaming bonfires, sipping on one
of the many beers on tap and listening

A grueling swim for a good cause
Elana Geist
The annual Four Elements Ocean Challenge
recently saw about 90 swimmers, including Ballito’s Vladimir Lynov, jump into the rough, cold
Indian Ocean for a 5,5 kilometre swim.
At 67, Lynov was proud to be one of the oldest
swimmers to compete in the Durban beachfront
swim from Vetch’s pier to the Moses Mabhida Stadium pier, even though he said it nearly killed him.
“When I woke up on the morning of the swim, I
heard the branches cracking outside and saw there
was a big storm. When we arrived at the beach in
Durban, the waves were huge and the water was
cold, but we swam,” said Lynov, who trains every
morning in the Thompson’s Bay tidal pool with his
swimming friends, Jose de Charmoy and Mike
Oberholzer, who also took part in the race.
“The first hour of the swim was good. The south
westerly wind helped me, but when we started
swimming to shore, things got difficult. The waves
came and they broke over me. I swam and swam,
but the waves kept coming. It was terrible - I
Fish Eagle
thought I was going to die.”
With a little assistance from a jetski, the Russian
swimmer made it to the finish line and completed
the challenge - which aims to raise funds and
awareness about the Four Elements Environmental
Scholarship - in just under two hours.
Mike Oberholzer, Vladimir Lynov and Jose de
Charmoy relieved and tired after the swim
through the huge waves.
Fishing conditions were
not at their best at the
beginning of last week
because of the bad
weather at the weekend
and it took a few days
before the surf settled.
Another West came
through and angling
was out of the question
again. Fortunately, by
Friday morning fishing
conditions improved
and anglers were looking forward to the
weekend.
As expected, the fishing was quiet during the
first half of the week because of adverse conditions
but as the water calmed, so the anglers were back
on the beach and found fish on the bite again. A
friend visited the Glenashley area on Friday, found
promising surf conditions and proceeded to throw
a spoon. He had four throws and landed four nice
shad with anglers in the area also catching fish on
bait. On hearing the news, my brother decided to
have a few throws the next morning and he was on
the beach well before first light. He pulled his first
shad at around 5.45am in the dark, missed another
and never had another bite on sardine. At 7am
anglers fishing in the area with sealice bait started
pulling pompano throw for throw. Every sealice
bait that was cast into the water produced a pompano, some of the fish weighing between two to
three kilos. One angler finished up the morning
with nine pompano and the other anglers fishing
with sealice caught pompano as well. My brother
Vaughn Nundkisun caught this salmon of 10kg
at the Tugela mouth. The fish took a live mullet.
just sat on the beach and watched because he had
come to the beach prepared to catch shad with
sardine bait. He said that in all the years that he had
been fishing in the surf, he had never seen the
pompano feeding as they were that morning. Sea
conditions were ideal for pompano on Saturday
morning. The surf was fairly flat and the water nice
and clean. The small pompano have been on the
bite for some time now and anglers have been
catching these fish in several areas, so maybe this
is the year of the pompano. Last year it was the
year of the copper bream and the bronzies before it

South Africa has some
of the most scenic runs
and often takes runners
to places few ever go
to.
This weekend our Dolphins were out taking
part in some of this
most magOn the Road country’s
nificent and challenging runs. Congratulations to
Danny and Pam
Holton who completed the 19th
Rhodes Trail Run. This year’s participants
started in minus seven degrees and experienced very tough conditions due to the
drought. A route change and loose underfoot conditions also added to making it more
technically challenging. Definitely not for
the faint-hearted. Danny completed in 7
hours 52 minutes and placed 27th overall
and Pam finished in 8 hours and 50 minutes.
Danny is only one of only two people to
have taken part and completed all 19 runs.
On the other side of the country, Dolphins
were enjoying all the Knysna Oyster Festival had to offer. On Saturday Barry
(2:02) and Debbie (2:28) Holland
completed the Momentum
Cape Times Knysna forest half marathon. The
next day Marc McClure
and Ross Holland took
part in the stunning
Houtkapper trail run.
This trail run offers
three routes of varying
lengths and difficulty and
takes runners through the
forests made famous by
was the turn of small brusher that were also caught
in numbers along the coast.
The shad are becoming more numerous now
with some really nice fish being caught with several anglers complaining that they have had traces
bitten off by the larger fish. It seems as if the
anglers that arrive on the beach well before first
light are the guys that have been scoring best of all
and limit bags have been recorded. It must be
remembered that the shoals of shad are moving all
the time so it is not uncommon for shad to be
caught during the day as pockets of these fish
move inshore to feed. Unfortunately more and
more anglers are fishing for shad and fishing can
become very unpleasant when there is a big crowd.
This is why it is sometimes difficult to get news of
nice sized fish being caught because the experienced anglers try to keep the news quiet.
A lot of garrick have been caught in the Tugela
area along with some big shad and a few salmon.
Live baits, spoon, plugs and other lures have all
been working and some large fish have been
landed. Local anglers should try the river mouths
and although they may have to be a bit patient, they
should catch a garrick or two especially on the
outgoing tide period. The garrick make a beautiful
pickled fish.
The South Coast gamefish anglers have been
catching some really big couta recently and I heard
this week that a monster of 54kg was caught. This
is just a couple of kilos short of the record that was
set many, many years ago. Unfortunately the sea
has been bumpy for much of last week and this
kept the local anglers off the water but conditions
should be more favourable this week.

Congratulations to Ross who placed second in
the 9km trail run category. The race organisers
said the 27km route was developed not only to
challenge the intermediate to experienced trail
runners but also to provide them with the rare
opportunity to experience the deepest secrets at
the heart of the Knysna forest. On completion of
this route Mark commented, “this was the
toughest race of my life”. Runners seem to
have short memories, as this is a statement
I have heard so many times before. However, they can often be found lining up
again the following year. I wonder
whether Mark will be back again,
perhaps with a few more Dolphins
in tow?
Back at home the Jump Starters completed a solid 5km run
on Saturday morning. For
some this was the longest run that they have
ever done. Well done
for persevering over the
last four weeks as you continue
to get fit. We are starting to slowly
increase the mileage as we work
towards the 10 or 21km SAPS
Striders race on September 11.
Remember your goal and that nothing worth having ever came easy.
Our awards evening will take
place this Saturday, July 16 and will
celebrate the Dolphins’ awesome
year in running. Booking essential,
please speak to Bev. The ticket
price includes a meal and live
music.

Dolphins end season in style
Murray Cup knockout tournament by that solidarity point despite
a far superior points difference and tries for total. That said,
compared to where the team was for the last two previous seasons, bottom of the standings and not recording
a win for 23 games, the players can be proud that they
have put the Dolphins firmly back on the map in first
division rugby in KZN and are definitely a team for the
future.
The junior section has also come on in leaps and bounds after
not being functional for over three years, to being the second and
third rated teams in various junior age groups.
The future is bright and Ballito Dolphins chairman, Kevin
Murphy said they were thrilled with the public support received
throughout the season.
“The Dolphins would like to publicly thank all their
sponsors, the people of Ballito for their fantastic support,
the coaches for giving up their time free of charge and
The Great Railroad Brewing Company for being their
primary sponsor this last season. With One
heart one beat we
always give
our all,” said
Murphy.

Classic winter boardriding
The North Coast boardriders club will be running its
annual Winter Classic this Saturday at Surfers (Willard beach). This is the same surf break as utilised for
the Ballito Pro and the organisers are hoping to score
the same great waves as the final day of the Pro delivered. The contest caters for all age divisions ranging
from U/13 years of age to a masters’ division, including a novice division for first time contest surfers. The
entry fee is R30 per division with some amazing
prizes up for grabs from the club sponsors, Billabong
and Groundswell Surf Shop. Anyone interested can
enter on the morning of the event before 7am at Surfers lane. For enquiries or news on the event, you can

SUN AND TIDES
JULY 2016
The Great Railroad Brewing Company Ballito Dolphins Rugby
Club finished the season with their biggest league win for many
years, a 71/0 thrashing of UKZN.
Coach Craig Dawson was beaming after the entertaining
encounter saying the side had been threatening all season to click
together as a cohesive team with the ability to put a big score on
the board, and Saturday showed the well supported team indeed
had the capability.
With a half time score of 26/0 the second half became a lesson
in explosive running rugby for the depleted and deflated UKZN
team. The Dolphins running in a further six unanswered tries in
cold, windy and testing conditions. Try scorers were Anthony
Fivaz taking the match ball with three tries, Kenny Granney (2),
Moses Mpande (2), Zam Mthembu (2), Chris Ankar (1) and
Carter Dube (1). Jack Severs converted eight tries for a personal
tally of 16 points.
The season has seen The Ballito Dolphins finish fifth in the
league, one point behind PMB Collegians and missing out on the
