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 />
the singing of the National<br />
Anthem and tea for the invited<br />
guests.<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 />

I visited priests and healers for help but failed<br />

He accurately read my fortune (for R<strong>10</strong>0<br />

me mentioning a word. He even used a mirror to show me real-faces of<br />
people who were trying to pull me down. Miss Jessica and Dr Ligo<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 />
problems. Four (4) days after prayers my husband was back home,<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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

I asked my mechanic to<br />
change the sound of my car<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 />
