Kingite criticises King police service for 'shoddy service' after break-in<br />

KINGITE Peter Ferreira has<br />

knocked the King SAPS for<br />

poor service delivery after an<br />

intruder broke into his<br />

premises at Egan Mews at<br />

about 5 20am on Monday.<br />

An intruder got into his home<br />

and was disturbed when<br />

Peter was awoken when he<br />

heard his son shouting that<br />

there is an intruder inside our<br />

house.<br />

'I lept out of bed shouting and<br />

heard someone go through<br />

the window in the twins<br />

bedroom and jump from the<br />

1st floor balcony of our<br />

townhouse and run off,' said<br />

Peter.<br />

Subsequent investigations<br />

showed that the intruder had<br />

climbed onto the boundary<br />

wall and then scaled onto the<br />

1st floor balcony.<br />

'The window in the<br />

unoccupied twins bedroom,<br />

had been left open for air<br />

circulation and the intruder<br />

managed to force open the<br />

burglar proofing and enter<br />

the bedroom, whereafter,<br />

Kingite criticises King<br />

police service for 'shoddy<br />

service' after break-in<br />

Continued from Pg. 01...<br />

...the intruder entered the<br />

main bedroom where my wife<br />

and I were asleep.<br />

'The brazen individual then<br />

casually strolled around to<br />

my side of the bed and<br />

removed my wallet and<br />

cellular telephone, which lay<br />

on my bedside table without<br />

us hearing anything.<br />

'The intruder then returned to<br />

the spare bedroom and was<br />

going through clothes in the<br />

cupboards when my son<br />

sounded the alarm,' said<br />

Peter.<br />

As the house alarm had not<br />

been tripped (the intruder<br />

clearly new exactly where to<br />

get in), my son pressed the<br />

panic button and within 3-4<br />

minutes the 1st armed<br />

reaction officer was on scene,<br />

the second following literally<br />

a few minutes thereafter.<br />

'The premises was<br />

immediately and expertly<br />

secured and property<br />

belonging to the intruder<br />

including inter alia a cap,<br />

lighter and very large knife<br />

was found lying in the spare<br />

bedroom.<br />

'Our heartfelt thanks to Johan<br />

De Jager and his team from<br />

Risk Management Services<br />

especially to Dawid Deetlefs<br />

the first responding officer for<br />

the prompt and professional<br />

services rendered for which<br />

we are deeply thankful,' said<br />

Peter.<br />

'Then our living hell with the<br />

SAPS commenced.'<br />

Risk Management Services<br />

advised by 5:30am that the<br />

SAPS had been notified of<br />

the location and the break in.<br />

'I tried to contact <strong>10</strong>111 from<br />

5.30am until 6.30am and the<br />

number just rang and rang<br />

with no response.<br />

'At 6:30am I telephoned<br />

SAPS KWT directly and was<br />

advised that they were well<br />

aware of the break in and<br />

would get to us soonest.<br />

'By 7am with no response I<br />

again contacted the SAPS<br />

KWT and again at 8am when<br />

I was told that SAPS KWT<br />

only has 2 vehicles and that<br />

one was tied up with a<br />

complaint at the taxi rank and<br />

the second one was dealing<br />

with another break in<br />

complaint so we must just be<br />

patient and wait for them to<br />

get to us,' said Peter.<br />

He said by 8am the SAPS<br />

KWT advised that they have<br />

no control over 'the routing of<br />

the vehicles and that I must<br />

contact SAPS radio control in<br />

East London'<br />

'SAPS King member were<br />

unhelpful, rude and totally<br />

disinterested,' added Peter.<br />

'I contacted East London<br />

police and lodged a<br />

complaint with the head of<br />

radio control to which I do not<br />

expect much feedback.<br />

'The first responding police<br />

officers arrived at <strong>10</strong>:30am (5<br />

hours after the incident) and<br />

it was confirmed by them that<br />

SAPS KWT only has two<br />

operational vehicles.' said<br />

Peter.<br />

He concluded: “We are<br />

shocked at the deplorable<br />

services rendered by the<br />

SAPS who should be<br />

ashamed of themselves for<br />

failing a community under<br />

siege by crime.<br />

The Smart Monkeys<br />

A man goes into a pet store looking<br />

for a monkey. "I don't want any old<br />

monkey," he says to the store owner,<br />

"I want one that can do something<br />

special." The store owner points<br />

answers the store owner.<br />

The customer inquires about the next<br />

monkey and is told, "That one costs<br />

$1500, because it knows Visual C++<br />

and Object-Relational technology."<br />

The startled man then asks about the<br />

towards three identical looking third monkey. "That one costs $3000,"<br />

monkeys in politically-correct, answers the store owner.<br />

animal-friendly natural mini-habitats.<br />

The one on the left costs $500," says<br />

the store owner.<br />

"Why so much?" asks the customer.<br />

"Because it can program in C,"<br />

"3000 dollars!!" exclaims the man.<br />

"What can that one do?"<br />

The owner replies, "To be honest, I've<br />

never seen it do a single thing, but it<br />

calls itself a Consultant."


FRIDAY <strong>10</strong> MARCH <strong>2017</strong> THE <strong>BUGLE</strong> 3<br />

Guest speaker enthralls<br />

guests at KHS birthday<br />

celebrations<br />

GUEST SPEAKER: Siviwe Gwarube kept guests entertained with her<br />

speech at the KHS birthday celebrations last Friday<br />

ON a cool day the Girls in<br />

Blue, Staff, Old Girls and<br />

many other supporters of<br />

KHS gathered on the Rosalind<br />

Slater Field to celebrate<br />

the school’s 142 year birthday.<br />

The Steel Band, and the<br />

choirs opened proceeding to<br />

be followed by hymns and<br />

songs.<br />

The highlight of the ceremony<br />

was an inspirational speech<br />

by Siviwe Gwarube an old girl<br />

who left <strong>10</strong> years ago.<br />

The intervening time has, for<br />

Siviwe, been filled with a<br />

variety of experiences from<br />

which she has garnered<br />

much useful wisdom. Siviwe<br />

began her speech by informing<br />

the audience that she had<br />

been an “average” pupil<br />

(second team hockey), filled<br />

with enthusiasm and always<br />

available to help where needed.<br />

Her post school career started<br />

with an attempt to study<br />

journalism. She hated the<br />

course. She switched to a<br />

study of the law, but because<br />

of financial difficulties, was<br />

unable to complete the whole<br />

course. While in limbo she<br />

applied for and to her surprise<br />

was appointed as Lindiwe<br />

Mazibuko’s spokesperson in<br />

parliament. (Mazibuko was<br />

the first 32 year old Black<br />

woman to lead the opposition<br />

in parliament.)<br />

Siviwe’s speech hinged<br />

around her stated aim; “I<br />

knew I wanted to to inspire,<br />

but not to sell you dreams”<br />

as she spoke specifically to<br />

the Girls in Blue.<br />

She pointed out that South<br />

Africa is at a dangerous<br />

crossroads. Firstly there is a<br />

“massive leadership crisis” in<br />

the country, that is constantly<br />

testing the strength of the<br />

Constitution for its own nefarious<br />

ends. Secondly, there is<br />

the failing economy, with<br />

job-losses rife and education<br />

under severe threat.<br />

Siviwe pointed out that South<br />

Africa needs leaders of<br />

strength and energy and that<br />

KHS has been grooming<br />

young females for 142 years<br />

to take their rightful place in<br />

the corridors of leadership. To<br />

back up her statement Siviwe<br />

pointed out that KHS was<br />

founded when education for<br />

females was not considered<br />

important; this was a progressive<br />

move then. KHS continues<br />

to to be progressive,<br />

producing potential leaders,<br />

well-rounded, well educated<br />

and poised to serve the<br />

nation. The girls were exhorted<br />

to to fulfill this potential<br />

and to ignore or see as a<br />

challenge the crumbling patriarchal<br />

leadership that is<br />

steering the country towards<br />

disaster.<br />

The speech concluded by<br />

encouraging the girls “to be<br />

fearless women who are not<br />

afraid to take up the call of<br />

leadership – turning patriarchy<br />

on its head at every turn.<br />

... We must be seized with<br />

idea of transformation and<br />

diversifying the country at<br />

every level”.<br />

The ceremony finished with<br />

Anthem and tea for the invited<br />

FRIDAY <strong>10</strong> MARCH <strong>2017</strong> THE <strong>BUGLE</strong> 5<br />

Two killed in 'love traingle<br />

shooting' in King<br />

A horror scene played out on<br />

the corner of Cambridge road<br />

and Leopold street yesterday<br />

afternoon when a King<br />

William’s Town policeman<br />

allegedly shot his supposed<br />

girlfriend, and her lover before<br />

turning the gun on<br />

himself in a suspected love<br />

triangle slaying.<br />

Both the officer and the man<br />

died on the scene while the<br />

woman was rushed to hospital<br />

in a serious condition. Her<br />

condition could not be established<br />

at the time of going to<br />

press.<br />

Police spokeswoman Captain<br />

Siphokazi Mawisa said<br />

the shooting took place in the<br />

middle of Leopold Street.<br />

Mawisa said it was alleged<br />

the Warrant Officer walked<br />

up to the couple seated in a<br />

vehicle parked in the street<br />

and opened fire. He then<br />

walked back into his car and<br />

shot himself in the head.<br />

“The motive for the shooting<br />

is unknown at this stage and<br />

will form part of the investigation,”<br />

Mawisa said.<br />

She said the officer was<br />

based at the King William’s<br />

Town police station.<br />

According to an eye-witness<br />

the woman and her male<br />

passenger were sitting in car<br />

when she noticed the policeman<br />

approaching them with<br />

a gun and probably realised<br />

what was going to happen .<br />

'S he tried to drive in a hurry<br />

off but bumped another car...<br />

it was then that the man<br />

opened fire... I heard at least<br />

seven shots.<br />

“The man got into his car and<br />

a few seconds another shot<br />

went off... he had put the gun<br />

to his head and shot himself,'<br />

said the eye-witness.<br />

Police and forensic personnel<br />

were on the scene within<br />

minutes. It could not be<br />

established if the policeman<br />

had used his service pistol.<br />

performed special prayers for me, cleansed me from bad luck & also<br />

gave me powerful love crystals plus a special ring to fix my financial<br />

6 THE <strong>BUGLE</strong> FRIDAY <strong>10</strong> MARCH <strong>2017</strong><br />

EC budget- no bold<br />

pronouncements<br />

THE Eastern Cape MEC<br />

for Finance and Provincial<br />

Planning, Sakhumzi<br />

Somyo, introduced the<br />

provincial budget for<br />

<strong>2017</strong>/18 in the Bhisho<br />

legislature last week.<br />

However, according to the DA<br />

there were no bold<br />

pronouncements to deal with<br />

some of the key issues<br />

impacting on the province.<br />

'This province is desperate<br />

for job creation and<br />

economic growth. How can<br />

this happen when the budget<br />

for the lead department of<br />

Economic Development,<br />

Environmental Affairs and<br />

Tourism’s budget is<br />

decreased by 7%, compared<br />

to the previous year,'<br />

questioned DA MPL Bobby<br />

Stevenson.<br />

'Whereas MEC Sakhumzi<br />

Somyo spoke about<br />

broadband rollout for<br />

government departments, he<br />

said nothing about the crying<br />

need for free wi-fi hotspots<br />

throughout this province,<br />

particularly in all provincial<br />

libraries. This is a definite<br />

game-changer when it<br />

comes to economic growth'.<br />

Stevenson said our<br />

bureaucracy continues to<br />

remain bloated, at 64.6% of<br />

the whole budget with no<br />

positive steps announced to<br />

rationalise the high cost of<br />

public entities which was<br />

alluded to in his previous<br />

budget speech.<br />

'The whole issue of medicolegal<br />

costs is a dark shadow<br />

hanging over this budget with<br />

the province facing 2 000<br />

claims and having to<br />

allocated R17-billion to<br />

contingent liabilities for this.<br />

'Currently, vehicles of the<br />

health department are being<br />

attached because it can't pay<br />

for these claims.<br />

'We welcome the increases of<br />

12% for the Roads<br />

Maintenance Infrastructure<br />

Grant and 12% for the<br />

Human Settlements<br />

Development Grant,' said<br />

Stevenson.<br />

The DA believes that<br />

boosting economic growth<br />

and redirecting resources to<br />

core business along with a<br />

comprehensive expenditure<br />

review will place this<br />

province on the high road to<br />

HORROR SITE: Ten people are believed to have died when this mini-bus<br />

taxi crashed head-on into an oncoming truck<br />

IN one of the worst accident's<br />

in the Border for a long time<br />

at least <strong>10</strong> people were killed<br />

when a minibus taxi collided<br />

head on with a truck on the<br />

R63 between Komga and<br />

Bhisho on Sunday afternoon.<br />

The driver of the taxi and that<br />

of the truck are among those<br />

who died at the scene.<br />

Eastern Cape health spokesman<br />

Sizwe Kupelo said two<br />

male passengers, one from<br />

the minibus taxi and another<br />

from the truck, survived the<br />

accident with injuries and they<br />

were airlifted to Frere Hospital<br />

in East London.<br />

Kupelo said it was too early<br />

to state the gender and age<br />

of those who died.<br />

“Our emergency officials are<br />

on the scene still trying to<br />

access the minibus,” Kupelo<br />

said.<br />

He said the front of the taxi<br />

lodged itself under the front<br />

of the truck and a tow truck<br />

had to be used to seperate<br />

the two vehicles.<br />

The jaws of life were used to<br />

remove the victims from the<br />

wreckage.<br />

A passerby said:' It was a<br />

terrible sight...one would<br />

have believed that a small<br />

aircraft<br />

had<br />

crashed...wreckage was<br />

strewn over a large area.'<br />

According to Eastern Cape<br />

traffic spokesman Charles<br />

Bramwell, the accident occurred<br />

shortly after 3pm.<br />

It is believed the taxi overtook<br />

on a double-barrier line and<br />

was travelling at speed.<br />

He said the taxi with a Cape<br />

Town Taxi Association sticker<br />

on the back was apparantly<br />

en route to Cape Town when<br />

the accident occurred.<br />

It is believed it was carrying<br />

mourners from a funeral.<br />

Police said case of culpable<br />

homicide will be investigated.<br />

The accident occurred at<br />

about 3pm and on hearing<br />

the tragic news Eastern<br />

Cape Health MEC Dr Phumza<br />

Dyantyi rushed to the<br />

scene.<br />

8 THE <strong>BUGLE</strong> FRIDAY <strong>10</strong> MARCH <strong>2017</strong><br />

POLICE ORGANISE NEW CHAIRS<br />

Police have responded to a<br />

plea from more than 500 high<br />

school pupils from Mbulelo<br />

Benekane Senior Secondary<br />

with a donation of 340 chairs.<br />

The school is in Ramnyiba<br />

village, just outside King<br />

William’s Town.<br />

Two years ago, it was reported<br />

about the severe shortage<br />

of desks at the school, which<br />

led to daily altercations<br />

among pupils as they fought<br />

over chairs.<br />

Pupils sat on each other’s<br />

laps or on paint tins during<br />

class, the mood changed at<br />

the school as police from the<br />

All Saints Detective Academy<br />

arrived with a truckload of<br />

chairs.<br />

Colonel Khanyisa Ndyoko,<br />

from All Saints, said that in<br />

2015 the academy visited<br />

three rural schools around<br />

King William’s Town and after<br />

comparing their situations,<br />

decided to adopt Mbulelo<br />

Benekane.<br />

“After engaging the principal<br />

HAFEEZ<br />

and staff members it was<br />

brought to our attention that<br />

they have multiple challenges,<br />

including a shortage of<br />

chairs for pupils.<br />

“We made a presentation to<br />

Liberty Life in East London<br />

about the shortage, and after<br />

all the formal processes were<br />

followed by both parties, 340<br />

chairs were delivered by the<br />

service provider to All Saints<br />

in January,” said Ndyoko.<br />

Ndyoko said what motivated<br />

the police was the fact that<br />

despite pupils sitting on<br />

three-legged chairs or on<br />

each others’ laps, the school<br />

still managed to achieve<br />

good pass rates.<br />

“Despite this challenge, the<br />

pupils at the school are eager<br />

to learn and that has shown<br />

in their matric pass rate,” said<br />

Ndyoko.<br />

In 2015, the pass rate at this<br />

school was 80% and 77% in<br />

2016.<br />

Maths and English teacher<br />

Monwabisi Zweni described<br />

how much time was wasted<br />

with fights over chairs.<br />

“By the time the scramble is<br />

over, you realise half the lesson<br />

is gone,” said Zweni.<br />

School principal Nombuyekezo<br />

Nogcantsi, who has been<br />

at the school for almost three<br />

decades, said the chairs<br />

would be a great help in improving<br />

the learning and<br />

teaching environment.<br />

“No amount of words can describe<br />

the joy that I feel today.<br />

This means there will<br />

be less fights over seats and<br />

more teaching,” said Nogcantsi<br />

FRIDAY <strong>10</strong> MARCH <strong>2017</strong> THE <strong>BUGLE</strong> 9<br />

Scifest <strong>2017</strong> to take visitors on a "tour of science"<br />

Two little kids are in hospital<br />

beds next to each other. The first<br />

kid leans over and asks, What<br />

are you in here for? The second<br />

kid says, I m in here to<br />

get my tonsils out and I’m a little<br />

nervous. The first kid says,<br />

You’ve got nothing to worry<br />

about. I had that done when I<br />

was four. They put you to sleep,<br />

and when you wake up they give<br />

you lots of jelly and ice-cream.<br />

It’s a breeze. Cool, says the<br />

second kid. What are you in<br />

here for? A circumcision.<br />

Whoa! exclaims the second<br />

kid. Good luck, mate. I had that<br />

done just after<br />

I was born and I couldn’t walk for<br />

a year.<br />

A little girl was watching her parents<br />

dress for a party in a bar.<br />

When she saw her dad donning<br />

his tuxedo, she warned: "Daddy,<br />

you shouldn't wear that suit.<br />

"And why not, darling?", the father<br />

asked. You know that it always<br />

gives you a headache the<br />

next morning."<br />

The Minister of Science and<br />

Technology, Naledi Pandor,<br />

will officially open Scifest<br />

<strong>2017</strong> in Grahamstown on<br />

Friday, <strong>10</strong> March.<br />

Scifest, South Africa's largest<br />

science festival, this year<br />

promises to take visitors on<br />

a journey through the mysteries<br />

of science.<br />

The <strong>2017</strong> theme, "Tour de<br />

Science", is linked to the UN<br />

International Year for Sustainable<br />

Tourism for Development.<br />

Visitors will be taken<br />

on an expedition exploring<br />

the milestones, discoveries<br />

and excitement of various<br />

fields of science.<br />

Celebrating its 21th anniversary,<br />

Scifest will focus on<br />

"edutourism" – travel for the<br />

purpose of learning – in<br />

scientific facilities across Africa.<br />

Prof. Michael Kosch of the<br />

South African National Space<br />

Agency (SANSA), one of<br />

many speakers, will talk on<br />

"Travel through space and<br />

discover the mysteries of<br />

sprites: first recordings of<br />

these dazzling lights in South<br />

Africa."<br />

The festival's main events<br />

include aquatic science activities<br />

at "Water World", and the<br />

chance to "speed-date a<br />

scientist". Following last<br />

year's success, "Science in<br />

the Township" will again be<br />

held at Jozana indoor sports<br />

centre near Grahamstown,<br />

giving local learners easier<br />

access to the festival experience.<br />

Among those expected to<br />

attend are SANSA's newly<br />

appointed CEO, Dr Val Munsamy,<br />

and NASA's retired<br />

astronomer, Dr Jim Adams.<br />

This year's Brian Wilmot<br />

lecture will be delivered by<br />

Hydrogen South Africa's Dr<br />

Henrietta Langmi on how<br />

hydrogen can help to solve<br />

energy problems in the country.<br />

New Kia Sorento offers design and value for money<br />

KIA Motors South Africa has expanded<br />

its Sorento line-up with the introduction<br />

of the new Sorento 2.2 CRDI LS.<br />

The new derivative complements the<br />

range’s previous entry point, the Sorento<br />

2.4 LS, by offering the same award-winning<br />

design, superior ride comfort, and<br />

class-leading quality in a package that<br />

now also excels in power, frugality and<br />

exceptional value for money.<br />

Originally launched at the 2014 Paris<br />

Motor Show, and introduced to South<br />

Africa in July 2015, the latest Sorento<br />

represents a new level for KIA vehicles.<br />

With its smooth, swept-back profile and<br />

multiple award-winning design, the<br />

Sorento spearheaded KIA’s unwavering<br />

drive for quality. In fact, the KIA Sorento<br />

was one of the first KIA models to consistently<br />

rank at the top of its segment for<br />

perceived quality in multiple global markets,<br />

won the people’s vote in the 2015<br />

Middle East Car of the Year competition,<br />

and was also voted a finalist in the 2015<br />

WesBank / SAGMJ Car of the Year competition.<br />

“The Sorento remains a key model for KIA<br />

in South Africa due to our affinity for the<br />

SUV class of vehicles,” says David Sieff,<br />

Marketing Director, KIA Motors South<br />

Africa. “Representing KIA’s next step up<br />

the quality and refinement ladder, it remains<br />

one of our most awarded models<br />

globally thanks to its unique combination<br />

of space, practicality and refinement, all<br />

factors that make owning and driving the<br />

Sorento a pleasure.”<br />

The new Sorento 2.2 CRDi LS model<br />

bolsters the Sorento 2.4 LS model’s<br />

strengths by combining vast practicality<br />

and functionality with the increased power,<br />

performance and fuel efficiency of<br />

KIA’s renowned 2.2-litre turbodiesel engine,<br />

and the convenience of a smooth<br />

shifting 6-speed automatic transmission.<br />

The model is ideal for growing families,<br />

as well as those with active lifestyles<br />

who value fuss-free motoring without<br />

compromising on space or comfort.<br />

KIA’s much-loved 2,2-litre ‘R’ turbodiesel<br />

features the brand’s fourth-generation<br />

CLASSIFIEDS<br />

vacancy OFFERED<br />

fuel-injection system for greater fuel<br />

economy, performance and engine response,<br />

while simultaneously reducing<br />

engine noise. An exhaust gas recirculation<br />

cooler promotes recirculation of<br />

clean, cold, low-pressure exhaust gas to<br />

reduce nitrogen oxide emissions and<br />

improve fuel efficiency, while an electronic<br />

swirl control valve in the intake manifold<br />

further reduces emissions by more<br />

carefully controlling the intake of oxygen<br />

to the combustion chamber.<br />

As with all other Sorento models, the<br />

Sorento 2.2 CRDi LS features a fully<br />

independent suspension with MacPherson<br />

struts at the front and KIA’s multi-link<br />

system, with larger bushes and larger<br />

shock absorbers mounted vertically behind<br />

the axle line, at the rear. This suspension<br />

setup, together with the<br />

Sorento’s long wheelbase, ensures a<br />

compliant ride with a more progressive<br />

response to bumps in the road, as well<br />

as improved body control.<br />

Additionally, the Sorento’s driving characteristics<br />

can also be matched to prevailing<br />

driving conditions, thanks to the<br />

Drive Mode Select system, activated via<br />

a switch on the centre console. ‘Normal’<br />

mode is best suited for day-to-day driving,<br />

while ‘Eco’ mode reprograms the<br />

shift points of the automatic transmission<br />

to achieve optimum fuel economy. Finally,<br />

‘Sport’ mode allows the gearbox to<br />

delay shifting and reduces the level of<br />

steering assistance for a sportier feel.<br />

The Sorento 2.2 CRDi LS offers seating<br />

for five passengers, as well as a range of<br />

comfort and convenience features. An<br />

LCD screen, located between two analogue<br />

dials in the centre of the instrument<br />

binnacle, displays all major trip<br />

computer information such as vehicle<br />

range and average and instant fuel consumption<br />

in one place. It also features a<br />

Radio / CD / MP3 player, multimedia<br />

ports for USB and AUX-in connections,<br />

and six speakers around the cabin. Rear<br />

seats feature a 40:20:40 split folding<br />

function, as well as a vast 660-litre cargo<br />

space – big enough for the entire family’s<br />

12 THE <strong>BUGLE</strong> FRIDAY <strong>10</strong> MARCH <strong>2017</strong><br />

Obesity linked to Chronic Kidney Disease<br />

Obesity is a potent risk factor<br />

for the development of kidney<br />

disease. It increases the<br />

risk of developing major risk<br />

factors of chronic kidney disease<br />

(CKD) and it has a direct<br />

impact on the<br />

development of end stage<br />

renal disease (ESRD).<br />

Life Renal Dialysis, part of<br />

the Life Healthcare Group,<br />

this World Kidney Day<br />

encourages education about<br />

the harmful consequences of<br />

obesity and its association<br />

with kidney disease, early detection<br />

and a healthy lifestyle<br />

to increase awareness and<br />

prevention of kidney disease.<br />

South Africa has the highest<br />

overweight and obesity rate<br />

in sub-Saharan Africa, with<br />

up to 70% of women and a<br />

third of men being classified<br />

as overweight or obese. Dr<br />

Riyas Fadal, Life Healthcare<br />

Group Clinical Products Manager<br />

says, “Obesity has<br />

become a national epidemic<br />

and it has severe<br />

consequences on your<br />

health, particularly your<br />

kidneys. With healthy food<br />

choices and an increase in<br />

physical activity, you’ll notice<br />

a range of improvements in<br />

your body and this will greatly<br />

benefit your kidneys.”<br />

In individuals affected by obesity,<br />

the kidneys have to work<br />

harder, filtering more blood<br />

than normal (hyperfiltration)<br />

to meet the metabolic demands<br />

of the increased body<br />

weight. The increased strain<br />

can damage the kidney and<br />

raise the risk of developing<br />

CKD in the long-term.<br />

The good news is that reducing<br />

obesity may reverse or<br />

slow CKD progression. Education<br />

and awareness of the<br />

risks of obesity and a healthy<br />

lifestyle, including proper nutrition<br />

and exercise, can dramatically<br />

help in preventing<br />

obesity and kidney disease.<br />

“While we have the privilege<br />

of being able to manage and<br />

treat kidney disease with<br />

state of the art equipment,<br />

we still need to address<br />

prevention and early<br />

detection of kidney disease.<br />

It’s important to have routine<br />

checks with your GPs to ensure<br />

that kidney care is optimized.<br />

We also encourage<br />

not smoking, keeping fit,<br />

watching sugar intake, monitoring<br />

blood pressure, and<br />

eating a healthy and varied<br />

diet,” says Dr Fadal.<br />

Life Renal Dialysis units<br />

Life Renal Dialysis is a<br />

specialised healthcare<br />

service providing acute and<br />

chronic renal dialysis for<br />

patients at 20 renal dialysis<br />

units across South Africa.<br />

These specialised services<br />

assist patients with renal<br />

failure who require outpatient<br />

based chronic renal<br />

dialysis or home based<br />

peritoneal dialysis; or acute<br />

renal dialysis in hospital.<br />

Life Renal Dialysis units offer<br />

state of the art dialysis<br />

machines and equipment<br />

that can perform different<br />

modalities of dialysis and<br />

while this is reassuring for<br />

our patients, our first priority<br />

is to help educate patients<br />

about what they will be going<br />

through and ensure that they<br />

receive the best possible<br />

care at all times.<br />

you the opportunity to show<br />

with your feet where your<br />

heart lies. Choose your<br />

sticker for a cause close to<br />

your heart, spunk up your<br />

tekkies with a funky pair of<br />

our Tekkie Tag shoelaces<br />

and you are ready for<br />

National Tekkie Tax Day!<br />

The campaign started in 2013<br />

when a few of South Africa’s<br />

biggest and most<br />

accountable welfare<br />

organisations joined forces.<br />

Marieta Kemp, Director<br />

Social Services from the<br />

SAVF says “The large<br />

number of welfare<br />

organisations involved helps<br />

us to keep the costs structure<br />

low and this will ensure that<br />

the maximum of donations<br />

can be used by us to deliver<br />

our services on grass roots<br />

level.”<br />

There are 12 National<br />

Beneficiaries and they<br />

represent more<br />

than 1 000<br />

local nonprofit<br />

organis<br />

ations.<br />

Epilepsy<br />

SA<br />

Meals on<br />

Wheels<br />

Child Welfare SA<br />

SOS Children's<br />

Villages<br />

CHOC<br />

(Childhood<br />

Cancer<br />

Foundation)<br />

Special Olympics<br />

SA<br />

CANSA<br />

Imisebeyelanga<br />

Services<br />

VVA<br />

NG Welsyn<br />

Endurocad<br />

SAVF and various local<br />

animal welfare organisations.<br />

Tekkie Tax raised more than<br />

R22 million so far and the<br />

impact on ground level is remarkable.<br />

Kwathando Care<br />

Centre said “We bought a table<br />

tennis set for children with<br />

autism” and Merewent<br />

Cheshire Home said<br />

“We used our Tekkie<br />

Tax donations to<br />

purchase toiletries<br />

for our disabled<br />

residents.”<br />

Freestate Care<br />

in Action bought<br />

bread for poor and hungry<br />

children at school and the<br />

SAVF Middelburg Social<br />

work office were able to<br />

buy groceries for their<br />

needy clients. The list is<br />

long and these are only<br />

a few examples of how<br />

the donations were utilized<br />

in the past.<br />

There is really no excuse<br />

to not participate<br />

in this year’s campaign.<br />

The Stickers (R<strong>10</strong> each) and<br />

Tekkie Tag shoelaces (R35)<br />

are available from all Clicks,<br />

Toys R Us and Babies R us<br />

stores. There are also more<br />

than 250 participating nonprofit<br />

organisations selling<br />

these items and together they<br />

aim to convince every South<br />

African to be part of the fun.<br />

Orders can also be placed<br />

online via the Tekkie Tax<br />

website<br />

www.tekkietax.co.za.<br />

Help these welfare<br />

organisations to protect the<br />

vulnerable by wearing your<br />

sticker of choice on Friday,<br />

26 May and spunk up your<br />

tekkies with a pair of funky<br />

Tekkie Tag shoelaces.<br />

There is really no excuse –<br />

put your best foot forward<br />

and support National<br />

Tekkie Tax Day on Friday,<br />

26 May <strong>2017</strong>.


14 THE <strong>BUGLE</strong> FRIDAY <strong>10</strong> MARCH <strong>2017</strong><br />

Weather on the side of King parkrun<br />

LOCAL parkrunners enjoyed a<br />

nice run this past Saturday with<br />

overcast conditions making for<br />

some good running .<br />

' In the pre-run briefing it was<br />

noted that a few runners are<br />

closing in on the magic 50 run<br />

mark,' said King parkrun director<br />

Mike Webb.<br />

' All being well Gordon Smith and<br />

Margaret Foxcroft should both<br />

be celebrating their<br />

50th parkruns on the 18th March<br />

and Kim Williams on the 25th .<br />

'T his is a phenomenal achievement<br />

as we have only had 53<br />

parkruns in king in total. Well<br />

done to all of you.' said Mike.<br />

' Aunty Margaret also mentioned<br />

that she noted that Bruce<br />

Fordyce has now completed his<br />

250th parkrun and she is<br />

working on a four year plan to<br />

match this ….. the Parkrun bug<br />

has truly bitten her solidly,'<br />

added Mike.<br />

COOLERS: BRAC Runners cooling down after last Saturdays King parkrun<br />

A large number of King parkrunners<br />

also took part in the<br />

Kempston Ladies nite race on<br />

Saturday evening.<br />

Kim Williams, Bianca Fismer,<br />

Tracy Farrer, Caitlyn Farrer,<br />

Klara Webb and many other<br />

ladies along with a large contingent<br />

of BRAC runners were<br />

seen at the race .<br />

'The BRAC club from King is fast<br />

creating a name for itself with<br />

their incredible spirit at races<br />

and many of their male runners<br />

dressed up in Drag to take part<br />

with the ladies. Well done guys,'<br />

said Mike.<br />

'They are also very active at our<br />

parkrun and can be seen to do<br />

a cooldown in a large group<br />

often afterwards. Please join<br />

them as this is very good for<br />

your muscles'.<br />

Sizwe Ngqoba, who came 16 th<br />

in last weeks Buffs Marathon<br />

continued his good form, winning<br />

again in a time of 19.15min.<br />

Faizel Kitching came in<br />

3rd place also after a good<br />

marathon run last weekend.<br />

Thando Ndayi and Nangoku<br />

Mahlati set new personal best<br />

times to finish in 6th and 7th.<br />

'First lady home was Tamia<br />

Abdull with Asanda Renene in<br />

2nd and Annamarie Naude in<br />

3rd ….. They all came in one<br />

after the other, clearly a race<br />

within the race.' said Mike .<br />

'Personal best times were also<br />

recorded by all three of them as<br />

well. Congratulations ladies,'<br />

Due to stopwatch problems on<br />

Saturday a few of the timing<br />

results may not be <strong>10</strong>0%<br />

accurate and we apologize for<br />

this but at least all your runs<br />

were recorded !<br />

Mike said noticeable this past<br />

Saturday was the growing<br />

number of volunteers that is<br />

making life a lot easier for the<br />

organizers and also no one is<br />

getting lost anymore !! .<br />

'One of the runners also requested<br />

that we thank the King Golf<br />

Club for cutting the grass! Many<br />

thanks to Derick Webb and all<br />

at the Golf club for your continued<br />

support .<br />

'Our course is widely toted as<br />

one of the most difficult but most<br />

enjoyable in our region,' concluded<br />

Mike.<br />

THE BRAC RUNNING CLUB<br />

WILL BE HOLDING THE<br />

LAUNCH OF THEIR CLUB<br />

WITH A 5KM AND <strong>10</strong>KM RACE<br />

SPORTS SHORTS<br />

...Well, we all know what happened<br />

this last weekend with<br />

the Super Rugby and some<br />

will be happy and others not.<br />

The following phone call will<br />

probably sum up the feelings<br />

of one teams supporters : “ek<br />

het vandag Loftus Versfeld<br />

gebel en n baie vriendlike<br />

vrou het die telefoon ge-antwoord.<br />

Ek vra toe vir die<br />

dame of daar nog plek is vir<br />

Saterdag se Bulls game? “Ja”<br />

se sy ..en watter posisie<br />

speel jy ?<br />

...and, we can take some comfort<br />

with yet another big win<br />

from the Blitzbokke who<br />

seem well on their way to<br />

winning this years<br />

series....and , if you did not<br />

know. They have lost only two<br />

matches this season.<br />

...most of us who use Whatsup<br />

have a picture of ourselves<br />

or wife,<br />

girlfriend,mother, dog i.e<br />

there is a sort of love factor<br />

reflected in the pic....but no,<br />

not for our favourite “garden<br />

gnome” , and, what has he<br />

got?...a motorbike and an old<br />

one at that. We can see what<br />

the follow up photo is going to<br />

look – he is probably grow his<br />

hair to look like Jacques so as<br />

to be “with it” like the other<br />

Conditioned response<br />

???...after the big shootout<br />

in Cambridge road, this week,<br />

I asked my mechanic to<br />

change the sound of my car<br />

with the idea of getting<br />

people and other cars to get<br />

out of the way quicker.....if<br />

you'll excuse the pun, the<br />

idea backfired – now people<br />

just ignore me completely ?<br />

The Weatherman<br />

A film crew was on location<br />

deep in the desert. One day<br />

an Old Indian went up to the<br />

director and said, "Tomorrow<br />

rain."<br />

The next day it rained. A<br />

week later, the Indian went<br />

up to the director and said,<br />

"Tomorrow storm." The next<br />

day there was a hailstorm.<br />

"This Indian is incredible,"<br />

said the director. He told his<br />

secretary to hire the Indian to<br />

predict the weather. However,<br />

after several successful<br />

predictions, the old Indian<br />

didn't show up for two weeks.<br />

Finally the director sent for<br />

him. "I have to shoot a big<br />

scene tomorrow," said the<br />

director, "and I'm depending<br />

on you. What will the weather<br />

be like?"<br />

The Indian shrugged his<br />

shoulders. "Don't know," he<br />

said. "Radio is broken."<br />

SPORTS BEAT<br />

Ice Box unbeaten at<br />

Sunset tourney<br />

REPRESENTING DALE: The Dale College team who are participating in<br />

the Sunset Bowls tourney<br />

THE Ice Box team continued<br />

to rule the roost following the<br />

third round of the Pick ‘n Paysponsored<br />

Sunset Bowls<br />

played at the King Bowling<br />

Club last Thursday.<br />

The Ice Box team, skipped<br />

by PJ Mauer and the Old<br />

Dalian Union (ODU) side led<br />

by Brandon Phillips, are the<br />

only two unbeaten teams of<br />

the five-week series so far.<br />

Both teams are on 12 points<br />

but with Mauer’s team having<br />

a shot profit of plus 39 and<br />

the ODU a shot profit of 33.<br />

With two more rounds to go<br />

to decide the winner, it could<br />

be a tight finish.<br />

However the dark horses are<br />

the TNT Junior team of Josh<br />

Turner, Ethan Grunewald and<br />

Andrew Lentz as well as the<br />

Klippies team of Bronwyn<br />

Penny, and Chippy and<br />

Rhona Westmann.<br />

TNT are on <strong>10</strong> points plus 18<br />

followed closely by Klippies<br />

on <strong>10</strong> points plus17.<br />

The Kadra team of Edwin<br />

Lwana, Monhexi Zatu and N<br />

Bam have surprised all and<br />

sundry with their good showing<br />

in their first Sunset Bowls<br />

endeavour. They have only<br />

lost three games.<br />

So far the weather has held<br />

for the event and while not<br />

wanting to implement a<br />

commentator’s curse, it’s<br />

been so far so good.<br />

The warm weather has again<br />

seen the bar well attended<br />

while the young kids have<br />

also had a ball both during<br />

and after the bowls.<br />

Unfortunately, this will be the<br />

last time Sandy and Tony<br />

Elliott will convene the event<br />

as they will be leaving King<br />

and moving to their home in<br />

Seavale later this year.<br />

Both have done a superb job<br />

in organising over recent<br />

years and their expertise will<br />

certainly be missed.<br />
