Residents have raised concerns about properties being used as an assembly location for criminals in Ward 16 behind the Department of Education Mtunzini Circuit building next to Thengeduze Tavern. According to community members, criminals as well as school teens use these buildings to consume alcohol, have sex and smoke drugs such as whoonga and dagga. ‘These buildings have become a big problem in this community, and a hiding place place for thieves. I was robbed and my purse was found in one of these houses. Something has to be done,’ said homeowner and ward committee member, Lungile Cele. According to Ward 16 Community Policing Forum (CPF) chairperson Muzobanzi Ntuli, residents constantly report criminal activity to the police and the City of uMhlathuze, however, nothing has been done. ‘It’s been years now and the problem is escalating. School pupils bunk school and meet there to have sex and do drugs. Daily I receive reports from community members about their concerns. Residents are not safe - they are mugged as they pass by and raped in the same buildings,’ said Ntuli. In January, a four-year-old boy, walking past the abandoned houses, was reportedly grabbed and raped. The incident angered residents and they have demanded the structures to be demolished. However, according to Ward 16 Councillor, Nonhlahla Cele, these houses are not the municipality’s property and a written consent from owners is required before any action can be taken. ‘Even though we receive numerous reports about criminal activities on the properties, it is against the law to demolish them without the owners’ permission. ‘These houses were built on a wetland, which made it difficult for the municipality to provide them with services, so they were left abandoned,’ said Cele.

The AWOL teens shared information on sex trafficking, bonded labour, organ trafficking and recruitment of young adults via social media with members of the public. Youngsters promoting the campaign were attending the annual AWOL event last week where approximately 200 school going teenagers camped in Empangeni. The teens come together every year to build relationships as well as to receive practical and spiritual input that equips them for life. They also share God’s love in the community of Empangeni, Richards Bay and surrounding areas by tackling various projects or outreaches that are organised and run by the local churches – a work of love.

Trying to be in line with our budgets we are looking for bargains and cheap prices, many times it is a lose, instead of win situation. I had an experience about three weeks ago with a shop in Richards Bay. I bought an electronic cigarette with battery charger so as to stop smoking at a price of R220. After 10 days the battery charger packed up. I went to the shop and showed my receipt of purchase and explained the problem. The lady behind the counter said they couldn’t replace it because the seven-day guarantee had expired. No-one had told me there was only a seven-day guarantee. There was only an A4 handwritten paper that said NO REFUNDS. I requested to see the manager and she told me he was not in. I went downstairs and asked another lady if I could see the manager, she took me to him. I explained my situation and he replaced the charger for me - the price was R20. After about three weeks one of the electronic cigarette rechargeable batteries packed up. I went back to the shop to see the manager and showed him the battery had packed up. His reply to me was they only give seven-days’ guarantee. Then I showed him on the guarantee manual of the supplier that a 60-day guarantee was given. He said his shop is only giving a seven-day guarantee. If I knew this was only a seven-day guarantee shop I wouldn’t have bought there and will definitely not be shopping there again.

THE desire to get hands-on information and a natural interest in documenting daily life encouraged 16-year-old Empangeni High School pupil, Noel Myeza, to seek out a week’s internship with the Zululand Observer and Eyethu Bay Watch. With interests in jour- nalism, photography, teaching and fine art, he intends on ‘testing the waters’ before taking his dive after matric. ‘I really recommend that other students try interning at companies. ‘You gain a lot of experience before you go to university and it helps building up confidence,’ he said.

But one ply is better than no ply, and cheap wheels are better than no wheels. So, let’s take a look at how SA’s six lowest priced cars measure up against each other... Chery QQ3 At R93 995 the Chery QQ3, 0.8TE is SA’s cheapest car. The panda bear headlights give the car an outdated look, but the main drawback must be the 800cc, 2014 FORD FIGO 1.4 AMBIENTE 2015 CHEVROLET SPARK 1.2L R115 R1 R 115 9 900 00 R115 900 2015 VW POLO VIVO 1.4 TREND 2015 HYUNDAI 1.2 MOTION R149 R1 R14 149 49 9 900 00 R164 R1 64 900 2013 TOYOTA HILUX 2.5 D4D D/CAB DAKAR 2012 MERCEDES-BENZ C200 CDi AVANTGARDE R285 R2 285 900 R235 900 MANAGER’S SPECIAL 2015 HYUNDAI UNDAI iX35 2.0 PREMIUM R275 90 9 900 00 * Terms & conditions 38kW/70Nm engine. Such a small engine makes the car unsuitable for everything but short trips in town. The QQ3 0.8TE does not come with an air-con but does have a radio/CD/MP3 player, USB port as well as an SD card slot. It not the safest car on the road, having no ABS brakes or airbags. Chery sells its QQ3s with a threeyear/100 000km warranty, but a service plan is optional. The sweeter Chery might be the top of the range 1.1-litre TXE model which sells for R114 995 and comes with more standard features than your average German luxury sedan. Being Chinese, resale value and technical backup might be a problem. Datsun Go At R104 900 for the base model Go, this car is also very affordable and has become quite popular among budget buyers. Although not the prettiest car on the road, the look is fairly modern. The Go runs a decent sized 1.2-litre engine, but 50kW and 104Nm give the impression that it is under-powered. An air-con is standard spec but you will have to fit an after market radio to get some vibes while on the go. ABS brakes and airbags are missing from the base model. The Datsun Go comes with a threeyear/100 000km warranty and being backed by Nissan is a huge plus because of a countrywide dealership network. Add a little extra money and get a lot more convenience and safety features in the top spec model which is still affordable at R119 900. FAW V2 Another cheapie from China is the FAW V2. The base model sells for R114 995 and is really well specced. Although the car lacks an up-to-date exterior design, it has air-con, a radio/ CD/MP3 player with USB port, remote central locking, fog lights and electric windows and side mirrors. FAW has even fitted the V2 with Suzuki Celerio Chery QQ3 alloy wheels. Safety features include ABS and EBD, dual airbags and LED brake lights. Driving the budget hatch is a fourcylinder engine which is rated at 67kW and 120Nm. The FAW V2 #Like model brings 15inch wheels to the party and, listen to this, Bluetooth and Satnav for only R124 995! air-con worth mentioning, however Suzuki gave the car ABS and dual front airbags. Being Japanese, build quality and resale value are good, but Suzuki’s dealer network is still somewhat limited in SA. A higher spec Celerio model will set you back R142 700. Tata Indica This Indian budget hatch starts at R116 995 for the LGi version. It has an aged look and very few convenience features. To fill the spec sheet with something the maker listed a five-speed wiper system and a cabin light. You also get an air-con, but there is no radio, ABS or airbags in this car. Under the bonnet is a 1.4-litre engine which Tata says is good for 55kW and 110Nm. Tata has been so kind to add a twoyear/45 000km service plan with the three-year/100 000km warranty. An LGi Sport version - R120 995 adds electric windows to the bag, but still no audio system. Tata SA’s dealership network is thinly stretched. Suzuki Celerio MT This budget Japanese hatch comes into the market at R126 300 for the base model. It is quite new on the market and sports a modern front end, but the overall look is somewhat boxy. The engine, a three-cylinder unit which delivers 50kW and 90Nm, has a reputation for being extremely reliable, but it lacks serious power when taken on the open road. In the convenience department the Celerio scores very low with only the ERRORS & OMISSIONS EXCEPTED All vehicles at reduced prices • Over 300 vehicles in stock • Guaranteed Valid Value ZR175427-16©T FREE SMASH AND GRAB & AUTO ARMOUR 1 Lood Avenue, Kuleka, Empangeni 035 940 1010 [email protected] Tata Indica FAW V2 Kia Picanto At R129 995 the Picanto 1.0 LS is the most expensive but the best looking with a very modern shape. The engine is Kia’s faithful three-cylinder which delivers 51kW and 94Nm. Those figures are more suitable for urban driving, but the car should be good for the occasional Durban run. An air-con is standard but that’s about it as far as standard features are concerned. The car does without ABS brakes, but the driver gets an airbag. Kia has an established dealer network in SA and the cars keep their value to a fair extent. The budget winner is... Spec for spec the FAW V2 stands out, but a few things bother: Being from that land where the people like eating strange food served on a bed of rice and dripping with sweet and sour sauce, resale value and technical backup are a concern. If these two issues can be addressed then the V2 will be my first choice, but until then I will have to go with the Datsun. Although lacking in spec and safety, build quality is good and it has a decent engine. Also, with Nissan’s established dealer network, services and parts should be easy to come by. SPORT • EZEMIDLALO EYETHU BAY WATCH • JULY 6, 2016 Empangeni sneak bonus point win EMPANGENI could count themselves very lucky to get away with a 41-28 win over Unizul in their Weber Cup fixture played at Mick Kelly Park on Friday evening. The home side came out, playing their usual structured game which resulted in 19-7 half time lead. David de Villiers’ men produced slick ball handling, quick clean ball at the breakdown point, accurate kicking and great set pieces. Victor Campher, Razor Msane and Clinton Woodley all crossed the chalk line for Empangeni, with scrumhalf Dirkie de Waal nailing two conversions. Wandile Vezi dotted down for the students with Andile Myeni converting. Empangeni radiated with confidence and decided to change their style of play, converting to a loose running game. This benefited the Unizul outfit, who were faster and fitter than the home team. This resulted in a huge comeback from the visiting side, with the scoreboard reading 28-19 to Unizul. Captain Myeni dotted down first in the second half for the visitors, followed by Thulani Khumalo and Sandile Mngathi. Myeni kicked two conversions for his sides’ 28 points. Empangeni front rower Hugo Myburgh crashed over in the corner to pull the game back to 28-24 to Unizul. With time ticking away and the Empangeni lads looking tired and playing scrappy rugby, an upset result was definitely on the cards.
