ELIZABETH II (born Elizabeth Alexandra Mary on April 21, 1926), Queen of England and 14 other Commonwealth realms, was born in Mayfair, London, as the first child of the Duke and Duchess of York (later King George VI and Queen Elizabeth). Her father ascended the throne in 1936 on the abdication of his brother, King Edward VIII, making Elizabeth the heir presumptive (the person entitled to inherit a throne). According to Wikipedia.org, she was educated privately at home and began to undertake public duties during World War II, serving in the Auxiliary Territorial Service (the women’s branch of the British Army). In November 1947, she married Philip Mountbatten, a former prince of Greece and Denmark, with whom she had four children: Charles, Prince of Wales; Anne, Princess Royal; Prince Andrew,…

Janine Moodley janine.moodley@inl.co.za A PAKISTAN national living in Durban was shot dead on Saturday in an alleged hit. Aftad Ahmed, 35, was killed while at a friend’s business on Umgeni Road. His friend, Naveed Mohamed Mujtaba, said Ahmed was helping out at his blanket shop while he was in Cape Town. He said the CCTV footage showed two suspects entering the premises posing as customers. “They asked my staff about the price of certain blankets. They then asked where the nearest ATM machine was. They were given directions, but they left in another direction. Two other men then came into the shop, and they headed straight for Ahmed, who was sitting behind a desk. They began shooting at him.” Ahmed died at the scene. Mujtaba said the suspects then got…

THE matric class of 2021 has arguably faced the worst circumstances this far – two years of schooling interrupted by the pandemic and a riot. We fought against all the odds in true South African spirit and we have succeeded. I attended Star College and obtained nine As. I was in the Top 5 in KZN among independent schools. This was only possible due to the support structure I’ve had throughout high school – my family and the teachers who have been instrumental to my development. Matric is not easy, but it is an experience of a lifetime that opens doors to your future. Make all the sacrifices now to reap the rewards in the future. I will be pursuing my passion by studying computer engineering at the University of…

MATRIC? Hated it. I would never want to go back; and because of that I am happy. When people finish matric they often say that if they could go back, they would achieve much better and furthermore regret the way they conducted themselves throughout. However, I am proud of what I have accomplished and would not go back to change anything. To the future matric pupils, ensure you have no regrets. The only way to do that is to do your best, not your teachers’ best, not your parents’ best but your best. Whether you just pass or do extremely well, ensure the result is what you wanted. I attended Star College and attained nine As. Samuel Soodyall Queensburgh…

Nadia Khan nadia.khan@inl.co.za JUDGE Narandran “Jody” Kollapen will preside over his first hearing in his official capacity as a Justice of the Constitutional Court this week. Judge Kollapen, 64, of Claudius in Pretoria, previously held a six-month acting position in the Concourt in 2017. After two unsuccessful attempts, the former judge of the North Gauteng High Court, Pretoria, was officially appointed to the position by President Cyril Ramaphosa in December. He took office at the Apex Court in Constitution Hill, Braamfontein, on January 1. “For any lawyer, when you start off your career, sitting in the highest court in the country is not something you even think of. You just want to be a good lawyer, serve justice, and earn a living,” said Judge Kollapen. “However, after all these years,…

WITH reference to the editorial, “Graduates could struggle to find jobs” (POST, January 26-30). Most business entities, I sense, do not have the time or patience to employ graduates fresh out of university with a degree or a diploma but no experience. Businesses are struggling to stay afloat and with an eye on their balance sheet and staying in business, they are reducing staff or hiring those with proven experience and these, again, I can sense are BEE-rated entities. So how do we get around that problem – and it’s a huge problem that requires an integrated solution? One way is that students, like fourth-year doctors in training, attend six months of on-the-job training and experience like learnership programmes. This should be subsidised by government. In that way, the excuse…

Durban pensioner’s prized wedding bracelet stolen during armed robbery: Sholaine Saraan: Really sad and heartbreaking. Some say it’s just a piece of jewellery but to the owner it’s a sentimental piece of jewellery. You won’t understand it until it happens to you. This could have also been her most valuable and prized possession as she is a pensioner. I hope justice is served or better yet, karma. Vasuthavan Govender: Keeping these things at home is an invitation to criminals to break in and steal. It is best to get a safety deposit box at one of the banks to store valuables. Desarine Naidoo: I manufacture jewellery and I advise my clients that instead of keeping old jewellery to pass down to one person, rather melt it and make many heirlooms…

AN OPEN letter to the mayor, acting city manager and the eThekwini Municipality I ADDRESS my correspondence to you two gentleman as the senior city fathers. The eThekwini Municipality and particularly the city of Durban is being run to the ground for a long time, by utter incompetence and embarrassing leadership. One only has to drive through some of the suburbs to get a real picture of the horrible quality the eThekwini Municipality has degenerated into. Deteriorating and poorly marked roads, unkempt verges, overgrown trees, poorly lit streets and the list goes on. It reflects the downward spiral this municipality is undergoing. Let me be clear: the people, the hard-working ratepayers, are at the end of their tether. To compound matters, the constant disruptions with regard to water and electricity…

Nadia Khan nadia.khan@inl.co.za “WE cannot and will not live this life anymore,” said Dravina Ramai of Trenance Park in Verulam. “How much longer will we suffer without proper water?” Ramai, and other residents in Trenance Park, have received intermittent or no piped water for more than a week. Like others in the area, she said she was fed up with the continuing water disruptions. “Since January 21, several roads have had water running on and off, while others have had no water. On Monday morning, the water supply seemed to have returned to some parts of the area but then, it was back off and on. “We have been forced to become accustomed to these water cuts since last year, but it seems to be getting worse. “What is frustrating…

The English Premier League saw the most action on the final day of transfer activity until the end of Europe’s top five leagues’ domestic seasons, with Tottenham Hotspur and Everton the busiest clubs. Below are major transfers in Europe’s top soccer leagues during the January transfer window (all fees reported by the media): ENGLAND Dele Alli – Tottenham Hotspur to Everton (free transfer, £10 million after 20 games) Dan Burn – Brighton & Hove Albion to Newcastle United Jean-Philippe Mateta – Crystal Palace (loan to permanent move) Donny van de Beek – Manchester United to Everton (loan) Matt Targett – Aston Villa to Newcastle United (loan) Rodrigo Bentancur – Juventus to Tottenham Hotspur (€19m, with €6m added on in bonuses) Dejan Kulusevski – Juventus to Tottenham Hotspur (loan for €10m…

THE fishing has been great on all fronts, with weather being the only limiting factor. Offshore fishing has been good on the entire coast. The sea and heavy launch has been the most limiting factor, but weather plays along … it has been magical. The usual spots along the North Coast have been producing good numbers of snoek and couta. The sharks have been a bit of a problem, but beefing up the gear allows you to pull that little bit harder and get your fish in. Live bait has been king, and the deeper baits have done well for the couta. Remember to use good quality hooks and terminal tackle, as you don’t want to lose that croc couta because you wanted to save R5 on a packet of…

The International Cricket Council (ICC) yesterday confirmed its complete line-up for the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games after Sri Lanka became the eighth team to qualify following their win in the ICC Commonwealth Games Qualifier 2022 in Kuala Lumpur last week. Besides Sri Lanka, the other seven women’s teams which will compete in the quadrennial games scheduled to begin on July 28, are Australia, Barbados, England, India, New Zealand, Pakistan and South Africa. The format at the Commonwealth Games will be a league-cum-knockout affair, with Australia and India, the finalists of the 2020 ICC Women’s T20 World Cup, set to clash in the opener on July 29. The medal matches will be played on August 7. Along with Australia and India, Group A also comprises Barbados and Pakistan, while England, New…

Ben Makori and Michael Holden Celebrations this year marking Queen Elizabeth’s seven-decade reign will mask a less happy reality for the world’s pre-eminent royal family: the British monarchy is being questioned in ways that were unthinkable for most of the last 70 years. From the US sex abuse court case facing son Prince Andrew, to her grandson Prince Harry and his wife’s allegations of racism in the royal household, rarely has the family of 95-year-old Elizabeth, who became queen on February 6, 1952, faced such scrutiny and damaging headlines. Such is the depth of respect for the queen that while she lives, the institution that goes back nearly 1 000 years looks safe. What comes next is less certain. “The monarchy and the queen are synonymous for most people,” Graham…

500ml self-raising flour 2.5ml baking powder ½ tsp fine elachi (ground cardamom) 2 tsp melted butter 1 tsp vanilla essence 1 egg 15ml sugar +/-300ml full cream maas or buttermilk Mix well and deep fry in oil until golden brown. Take care not to fry it quickly because the bollas will still be uncooked in the centre. Scoop a teaspoon of batter and place in the oil. Fry the bollas until golden brown and put on a paper towel to drain off the excess oil. Dip the bollas in lemon-flavoured syrup and sprinkle fine coconut over them. Syrup: 2 cups sugar 1 cup water 2 tsp lemon juice Simmer over low heat until cooked. Variation: Add two cinnamon sticks and two cardamom pods while boiling the syrup. Add citric acid…

200g butter ½ cup castor sugar 360ml plain flour 2 cups cornflakes 25ml cocoa powder chopped walnut and hazelnuts Preheat the oven to 180ºC. Grease a baking tray. Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the flour, cornflakes and cocoa powder. Mix well. Divide the biscuit mixture evenly into about 30 small balls and place on the prepared baking tray. Pull up a little dough in the centre, like a turban. Bake for 15 minutes until firm. Transfer to a cooling rack. Traditionally, Afghan biscuits are topped with melted chocolate and hazelnut titbits. Sprinkle with gold edible dust (optional).…

Charlene Somduth charlene.somduth@inl.co.za RESIDENTS in Umzinto were shot and wounded when a private security company opened fire on them following water problems in the area. Residents on the South Coast have lived with intermittent water supply for the past few years. It has all but destroyed a once-thriving tourism industry. From November last year, residents of Umzinto have had water for about an hour or two a day, followed by days without water. This week when they protested, the situation turned violent. Dr Anthony Turton, a water expert, said water infrastructure had been crumbling across the country for more than a decade. “The Umzinto case is merely the latest in a litany of failed service delivery. “If one looks at Emfuleni, an area that was once the industrial centre of…

I AM A recovered Guillain-Barré syndrome pupil from Marklands Secondary School. I passed matric with six distinctions in physics, accounting, life sciences, English, Afrikaans and life orientation. This would never have been possible without the spiritual guidance, support from my family and constant motivation from my educators. The 2021 year was challenging, mainly because of Covid-19. It was tough to make adjustments to self-learning. One of the challenges was that I live in a communal flat in Shallcross, noted for chaos. The load shedding also made it difficult to study at night. Early preparation and consistency were keys to my success. I had to manage my time diligently due to the large portion of work missed in Grade 11. It was stressful to go to school almost every weekend and…

HARD work, dedication and perseverance. These qualities in combination with the invaluable guidance from my educators at Star College Durban were instrumental in achieving nine distinctions. I began my journey at Star College in 2013 – Grade 4. I have learnt crucial lessons from my educators and peers in and out of the classroom. At the age of 15, I was afforded the opportunity to travel to seven countries including Dubai, South Korea, the Netherlands and Germany. I participated in various international expos where I exhibited an IT-related project. Being exposed to new ideas and individuals influenced my decision to study computer engineering at the University of Pretoria. Writing the NSC final examinations was not an easy task. The result I have obtained (nine As) is a culmination of many…

NAMASTE, my name is Tashmika Sewnarain, and I wish to share my journey about (studying) Hindi with you. I would like to start off saying that 2021 was most definitely a difficult year in terms of Covid-19, looting, and other disturbances, especially for matric learners. Even through these difficult times, I chose to remain spiritual and faithful, thanks to the power of the Hindu teachings. I have been doing Hindi as a subject since I was in Grade 5. I am grateful that the schools I attended, Erica Primary, Apollo Secondary and Kharwastan Secondary, allowed Hindi to be part of our experience at school, although I wish it was part of our syllabus just like any other subjects with its own dedicated time. I agree that it is not easy…

Nadia Khan nadia.khan@inl.co.za A FORMER law academic, Avinash Govindjee, has realised his dream of being appointed a judge. Judge Govindjee, 44, of Makhanda (formerly Grahamstown), was appointed to the Eastern Cape High Court. He took up office on January 1. Last year, he served as an acting judge at the court before being recommended by the Judicial Service Commission for judicial appointment. Judge Govindjee, born in Durban and later moved to Gqeberha (formerly Port Elizabeth), said becoming a judge was a deep-rooted ambition. “However, my career has taken me through legal practice and almost two decades spent in academia before the opportunity arose,” he said. He said after completing matric at Grey High School in 1994, he completed his BA and LLB qualifications at Rhodes University. Judge Govindjee returned to…

Sixty years ago, the world stood on the brink of nuclear war. The focal point was Cuba, where its leader, Fidel Castro had aligned himself with the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR). The Soviets wanted to deploy nuclear weapons in Cuba so as to strike their rivals, the USA, if the need arose. The Americans, who were then led by president John F Kennedy, became suspicious when they noticed a growing number of ships leaving the Soviet Union for Cuba. Then spy planes found evidence of missile sites near a Cuban town. Other images showed pictures of a ballistic missile being assembled. The Soviets called it the R-12 Dvina, while America and her allies named it the SS-4 Sandal. Whatever the name, it had a range of more than…

albert Einstein, the German-born theoretical physicist, defined stupidity as the expectation of a different result by repeatedly applying the same formula. The key approaches identified by the recent South African Local Government Association (Salga) conference aimed at charting a new path for municipalities are the same as the ones that have failed in the past (Ezasegagasini Metro, January 24-February 3). “Guided by the ideals of the Freedom Charter,” so the report stated, Salga committed itself to “accelerating radical economic transformation”. It beggars belief that in all seriousness and in the context of the bankruptcy and dysfunctional state of municipalities, Salga persists with a flawed and failed formula. The Freedom Charter is a Marxist document dedicated to the destruction of private property and enterprise and the accumulation of ownership and control…

AFTER almost three years of exhaustive evidence and cross-examination, some bordering on pathological lies and manipulative artifice, the state capture report is out – one of three instalments. With the arson attack on the parliamentary building and the axe attack at the Constitutional Court, I sometimes wonder whether South Africans are finally losing their marbles. There has also been a fire at the Waterkloof Air Base. What narrative is playing out here? Are our national key points under siege, or is this a carefully crafted enigma, calibrated to sow anarchy and to send a clear warning to the other side that they were playing with fire? Alternatively, is this the work of mad men bordering on paranoid schizophrenia? We all know of the factionalism and internal stirrings within the ranks…

Formula One team Alfa Romeo’s driver and Lewis Hamilton’s former Mercedes teammate Valtteri Bottas has been branded a ‘loser’ by Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko. At the end of the 2021 F1 season, the Finnish driver left the Silver Arrows after five years to join Alfa Romeo where he replaced Kimi Raikkonen. “That’s the big difference between him and Bottas, who is a loser when it comes to overtaking,” Marko was quoted as saying by mirror.co.uk. “He’s super-fast, but he can’t overtake in traffic.” Marko suggests Sergio Perez was more beneficial to his team than Bottas was to Mercedes, as the Mexican could support Max Verstappen’s bid for the title. Marko believes Bottas’ issues derived from his inability to overtake, compared to that of Red Bull’s own driver, Perez. An…

Whisk the sugar and eggs in a mixer until light and fluffy – about 3 minutes. Add the oil and vanilla essence and mix again. Add the flour, salt and baking powder to the mixture alternatively with the milk. Pour the mixture into a greased rectangular or square baking tin. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes at 180°C. Cool and then cut off any crust. Cut the sponge…

I WAS born on April 11, 2003, and at 4 years old, I was diagnosed with profound hearing loss. This didn’t stop my parents, Neil and Sashnee Moodley, from creating a new normal for me. My doctors advised my parents that I would need to attend a special needs school. However, they chose to send me to mainstream schools as they knew their daughter’s potential. I attended Stanger Pre-Primary School and thereafter North Coast Primary from 2010 until 2016. I then attended Stanger Manor Secondary from 2017 to 2021. My next chapter leaves choices of a career in audiology or architecture. I have partial hearing in my left ear and am deaf in my right ear. I go about my day-to-day life wearing a hearing aid in my left ear…

MATRIC was one of the most challenging years of my life. I chose to write nine subjects, which was no easy task. There was never a day where I had an early night or an extended break. Nearly 100% of my time was dedicated to my studies. In any regular case, this would drive a person insane but with the support of my family, friends and teachers, I was able to persevere and complete my matric year at Star College with all nine distinctions. These distinctions will ensure that my journey to success will be easier. Kailen Govender Hillary…

“If I have the belief I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning.” | This quote is so apt to my journey through Hindi. I started learning the language in Grade 8 when I entered high school. I went to a Christian-based primary school, so I never had the opportunity to take on the language as an additional subject like most kids these days. I started off high school knowing absolutely nothing in reading or understanding the language. I decided to take Hindi as I wanted to challenge myself to learn the language. Through having such an inspirational teacher, Sharmilla Seetal, I found Hindi captivating as an additional subject, because of her dedication…

CONTEMPORARY Bollywood films tend to focus on stories of the Indian underdog emerging triumphant after facing adversity or a threat from an “outsider”: the triumph of the charismatic masculine Hinduised hero who fulfils his duty, saves the nation and reclaims India’s lost pride. This isn’t a new phenomenon. Bollywood’s formula of promoting nationalist rhetoric via glorification of past heroes or events can be traced back to the early years of the Marathi theatre. In the 19th century, Marathi theatre staged historical events still within living memory: re-telling stories of the Maratha Empire, which covered much of the Indian subcontinent from 1645 to 1818. With the subcontinent under British rule, popular plays furthered the calls of the “extremist” political leader Bal Gangadhar Tilak (1856-1920) for swaraj, or self-rule. The ever-present Maratha…

FRANK Dutton, an NPA investigator, has died. His death leaves our fractured and beleaguered nation immeasurably poorer for we have lost a dedicated man, who was our country’s servant in every meaning of the word. There are few men or women who could equal his devotion to the principles upon which our democracy was founded. Our nation is diminished by the death of a patriot who was one of the greatest defenders of freedom under the rule of law. He leaves a legacy that we are grateful to inherit. Dutton had the rare combinations of a good court personality and the qualities of a profound lawyer. He argued the points of law involved in any case with logic and had high standards of craftsmanship as a prosecutor. Hamba kahle. May…

IN Team of Rivals, author Doris Goodwin notes how former American president Abraham Lincoln created value by surrounding himself with people who have the capacity and the tenacity to challenge him. Despite many of the challenges he faced throughout his presidency, he managed to build a common cause with his cabinet to foster the interests of Americans. In a completely different text, Crisis of Conscience: Whistleblowing in an Age of Fraud, Tom Mueller laments how people fail to act out of apathy, complicity, or fear. These two distinct texts raise the question of how leadership should react to criticism and the requisite degree of freedom of speech that public representatives should have. Similarly, the back-and-forth saga between Tourism Minister Lindiwe Sisulu and President Cyril Ramaphosa over whether she apologised for…

WE WERE forced to move out of Clare Estate about four years ago, mainly because of the potholes and mushrooming of informal shacks that were nearly encroaching on the already terrible roads. By moving to a classier area like Musgrave, albeit at a much greater living cost, we imagined that with the higher quality of services, we would also be rubbing shoulders with a better quality of people. Alas, in spite of a few old-age homes on St Thomas and Vause roads, no enforcement against speeding vehicles is visible in the area. A classy area means people of a better mentality? No. Not here. There are some idiotic, spoilt brats of all races who must have been devoid of motherly love at some stage and now as compensation seek public…

Nonhlanhla Nozizwe Hlatshwayo nozizwe.hlatshwayo@inl.co.za SINGER Lungi Naidoo is off to a positive start this year. She recently signed a recording deal with the international record label, Ditto Plus Music Publishing, which released her Afro-pop infused EP (extended play record) Courage. Naidoo is the first African artist to sign with the UK-based independent music publisher which has worked with artists Ed Sheeran, Stormzy and Sam Smith, among others. She was born and raised in KwaDukuza, previously known as Stanger, on the KwaZulu-Natal North Coast, to inter-racial parents. Growing up in a diversified family, she said, had a positive impact on her music. “I was born during the apartheid-era, so that means all races were separated. My dad is Indian and my mum Zulu. They were not allowed by the system to…

Eshlin Vedan eshlin.vedan@inl.co.za WHILE cricket enjoys tremendous popularity in Indian communities, the sport does not have high rates of participation among the blind community – a matter of deep concern for the founder of KwaZulu-Natal Blind Cricket and the manager of the SA blind cricket team, Shane Mahabeer. “It is disappointing that there are only two Indians in the KwaZulu-Natal team and none in the South African squad. I know that we have some talented visually-impaired people in KZN and they must contact us and we will give them the training. I am sure that they will enjoy the game,” said Mahabeer. According to Mahabeer, there have been a few Indians who previously played for the blind SA team, namely Desigan Pillay, Ragunathan Thambiran and Mukesh Parmeswar. Notably, Reddy previously…

THE English Premier League resumes this weekend follWowing the conclusion of the international break. In news which has rocked the football world, Manchester United attacker Mason Greenwood was effectively suspended from the club this week amid allegations of rape and assault of a woman. The 20-year-old was arrested last weekend after allegations by a woman which also included the release of photographs, video footage and an audio recording. Greenwood has been suspended from United as police continue their investigations. Should Greenwood be found guilty, it’s likely that his football career could be over. Greenwood’s sponsor, Nike, have announced that their partnership with him is on hold as they monitor the outcome of the police investigation. Greenwood is not the first footballer to be implicated in a case involving…
