HIJACK TERROR, CHILD DIES Our eyes were not ready for what we saw: witness JANINE MOODLEY, CHARLENE SOMDUTH AND THANDEKA MGQIBI TWO weeks ago, Roy Sewburan lost his mother. This week, he almost lost his life. On Monday night, Sewburan, 61, a resident of Hillgrove in Newlands West, drove to Parlock to drop off documents pertaining to the natural death of his mother. While there, he was attacked by armed men. “I don’t recall how many men came at me. All I remember was that they wanted the car and any valuables I had on me. I told them I had no cash, neither did I have a cellphone. I was pushed to the ground and kicked repeatedly.” Sewburan suffered bruising to his back and his hands. He said while…

New date for start of Pitra Paksha POST REPORTER PITRA Paksha will start on September 2 and not September 3, the South African Hindu Maha Sabha says. Pratipada will start at 7.21am and Aparahna Kaal (the last watch of the day) will be from 1.04pm to 3.21pm. Furthermore, the first day of Pitra Shraadh is inclusive of Purnima (which is present until 7.21am on the day). The last day of Pitra Paksha is September 17 and the last water oblation should be given that morning. “Pitra Paksha is a period during which Hindus or followers of Sana-than Dharma observe a memorial and thanksgiving to the departed souls,” said Lokesh Ramnath Maharajh, the chairperson of the Sabha’s Priests Council. “It is a special time when Hindus acknowledge their indebtedness to their…

Resident claims win against madressa CHANELLE LUTCHMAN AN ISIPINGO Beach resident has claimed a small victory over a local madressa after a court ruling in his favour. Last week, Chandra Giri Ellaurie submitted an application to the Durban High Court asking that the Adhan (call to prayer) at the Madrasah Taleemuddeen Islamic Institute not be heard beyond the boundaries of its property. Ellaurie believed that the call to prayer infringed on his right to dignity. “The Muslim religion insults non-Muslims, who currently have little choice but to endure being exposed to the call to prayer, which states that the Muslim prophet, Prophet Muhammad, is a messenger of God,” he said in court papers. “What this tells us is that the non-Muslim population of this country, which counts as over 97%…

Quest to bolster school attendance using AI JANINE MOODLEY ARTIFICIAL intelligence (AI) can be used to improve pupil attendance at schools, according to a study by a Durban researcher based at De Montfort University in Leicester, in the UK. AI is when the theory and development of computer systems are able to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence. Dr Raymond Moodley, 47, formerly of Phoenix, led the team study at the Institute of Artificial Intelligence at De Montfort, which came up with an AI model to help improve attendance. The proposed model was used to analyse a UK-based primary school’s attendance data to identify patterns relating to pupils who were frequently absent. They found that Monday morning was the most common time for absenteeism, with potential reasons including separation…

‘My child was robbed of his life’ NADIA KHAN THREE months ago, Dimitri Johnson left his job as a financial adviser in Johannesburg to return home to Durban to be with his parents. His father, Shakeel Johnson, said they wanted him to live with them in Clearhaven Place, Phoenix, during the lockdown. On Sunday, Dimitri, 23, was stabbed in the back, chest and neck. He died at the scene. Johnson said his son went to a tuck-shop and while returning home, he stopped to speak to friends. “We were told that he was leaning against his friend’s car when two men approached. One of them stabbed him in the back and when he turned around, he was stabbed in the chest and then his neck. Dimitri managed to get home.…

Followers stunned by revelations JANINE MOODLEY BASED on the reports by 36 victims, the investigation concluded that it was more likely than not that US-based yoga master and self-styled Sikh Yogi Bhajan engaged in several types of sexual misconduct and abused his power as a spiritual leader. “The specific sexual misconduct included various forms of sexual battery, sexual assault and sexual harassment, as well as conduct judged to be unethical according to the Sikh vows and inconsistent with Yogi Bhajan’s own teachings. He abused the power entrusted to him,” stated the report’s summary of findings. The report said that to move forward, the key question the community would need to ask was how to identify, restore, preserve and take forward what was of core value to the community as a…

Why we are losing the fight against gender-based violence A shortage of police capacity in the province means victims suffer SHARON HOOSEN IT HAS been a long road for South African women who continue to be the target of crimes involving gender-based violence (GBV) – with extremely high rates of rape, sexual offences and murder – not to mention domestic violence, often at the hands of those they trust the most. Last year, these heinous crimes against women spiked to alarming levels, with not a week going by without a GBV incident being reported in the media. The situation prompted a nationwide march to Parliament, culminating in a memorandum being handed to President Cyril Ramaphosa calling for Parliament to declare “gender-based violence a state of emergency”. Some of the incidents…

How living under lockdown promoted unity THE definition of a housewife: a woman who plays multiple roles in the human race. In this day and age, a housewife has multiple roles and requires the many hands of Mother Durga to cope. I will narrate my tale about my experiences, together with the impact of Covid-19. The world has been turned upside down because of this viral pandemic. What is a normal life? Everyone’s lifestyle has been disrupted and, in some cases, lives and livelihoods have been lost. How does one cope in these challenging times? My life was shared between home and doing seva (selfless service) at our temple but, since the lockdown, many changes have taken place. Not going out of the house and being indoors full-time required drastic…

Allow people some dignity in death THIS is with reference to the stories about the death of Rakesh Nana, who died after contracting Covid-19, and the legal dispute between his family about who should perform the last rites according to Hindu customs. It is a disgrace to behave like this, especially when you are a Hindu. We know that there are important customs that need to be followed soon after one has died. The soul of the departed needed peace and love to move to God, and not fighting. Two wrongs don’t make a right. May this soul rest in peace and happiness. AVINASH RAMBARAS Phoenix…

Hospitals are profit driven CORPORATE hospitals built for profit and predominantly medical specialists based in these hospital rooms are currently touting for business. I received calls from an ENT (ears, nose and throat) specialist, a dentist and specialist physician to visit for a check-up. I last saw the ENT specialist seven years ago, when I had a genuine need. This virus has exposed how we visit these so-called specialists unnecessarily. We need to wash our hands and keep safe. Even if a GP wants to send us to specialists, we must question the need. We deplete our medical aid and subsequently suffer from high tariffs. Our bodies are capable of repairing itself so we must allow this process as opposed to weakening it with unnecessary medication. I did not contract…

Can’t allow ANC to probe graft ACCORDING to media reports, President Cyril Ramaphosa has chosen his team to investigate the personal protective equipment tenders. But the president is the ANC, and so is his team. It cannot set itself free by becoming its own judge. Should he not have chosen members from all political parties, for corruption affects everyone in the country? What we need is a Department of Corruption to monitor and have the power to take legal action against those who loot the future of the citizens of our country. PREM SINGH Pietermaritzburg…

Keeping your skin in the best condition possible PUJA GUPTA Pexels.Com WEARING a mask is a must, but this has led to many people complaining of various skin issues. Masks create a hot and moist environment inside them, becoming the perfect breeding ground for bacteria and germs. These bacteria make the skin itchy, and acne and rash prone. Lalita Arya, the vice-president of Dermapuritys, suggests not picking at your acne as it worsens its condition. “Do not rub over the rash. It can cause swelling and irritation. “Follow a good skincare regimen and find suitable products according to your skin types. If the skin condition worsens, visit a dermatologist for expert help.” She suggested a few home remedies: • Use cucumber on the skin in different forms. Rub cucumber juice…

Govender pads up for CSA Tom-boy acting chief executive grew up supporting the likes of Malcolm Marshall ESHLIN VEDAN CSA. CRICKET South Africa (CSA) announced last week that Chatsworth-born Kugandrie Govender would be replacing Jacques Faul as its acting chief executive, becoming the first woman to hold the position. Govender said that although she had lived the majority of her adult life in Johannesburg, she continued to support the Sharks and Dolphins. Her love for cricket also started at a young age. “I grew up in a sports-crazy household with very sporty siblings. “My brothers introduced me to cricket and I became obsessed. It was sad that I grew up in a time when cricket was reserved for boys. “That didn’t stop me, I was at the grounds every day…

Nephew to dispose of man’s ashes – court JANINE MOODLEY THE nephew of Rakesh Nana, who died of Covid-19, is legally entitled to his uncle’s ashes following a Western Cape High Court ruling. Aman (son of Panna Nana, Rakesh’s sister) and his family took Nana’s wife to court to be allowed to perform his last rites and dispose of his ashes. Last Thursday, Judge Vincent Saldanha ruled that Aman be given his uncle’s ashes. Nana, 40, of Cape Town, died on June 24 after contracting Covid-19. His body lay in a morgue for a month while the court battle ensued. On July 1, the court ordered his body be cremated. A decision over who got the ashes and who paid the costs of the application were to be finalised at…

Seeking a way forward after loss of temple CHANELLE LUTCHMAN THE committee of the Muthu Mariam-man Kovil in Port Shepstone will meet this week to discuss the way forward, after its temple was demolished. Vernon Govender, the chairperson of the temple in Umbango, said he was seeking advice from the South African Hindu Maha Sabha and the KwaZulu-Natal Amafa and Research Institute, the provincial heritage resources authority in the province. Last week, the temple, which dates back to 1915, was allegedly demolished by a local businessman. It is alleged that the businessman plans to build a shopping centre on the site. Govender said: “A lot of people are still hurt. This temple was one of the oldest and it has a rich history. Families have been visiting it for generations.…

Organisations request crematorium handover CHANELLE LUTCHMAN THE Midlands Hindu Society has written to the Msunduzi Municipality to hand a 92-year-old crematorium back to the community. Last week, the society sent their letter to the city manager. According to the letter, over the past four months, four furnaces at the Mountain Rise Crematorium were not operational. Families living in Pietermaritzburg had to drive to either the Cedar Ridge Crematorium in Cato Ridge or the Clare Estate Crematorium in Durban to have their loved ones cremated. Ranjiv Nirghin, the society’s president and chairperson of the Msunduzi Crematorium and Cemeteries Concerned Citizens Committee, said they wanted the community to have a functioning crematorium. “There have been endless issues with the cremators. This crematorium was built by members of the Sathya Vardhak Sabha, which…

It’s show time as cinemas prepare to reopen LATOYA NEWMAN Imdb.com CINEMAS are kicking off their reopening on Friday with international releases, but it will be a while before movies from India reach the big screen. Last week, major cinema houses announced their reopening after they had to close at the start of the lockdown in March. Other than some restrictions, there will be a number of safety and hygiene protocols in place so that patrons can enjoy the big screen experience again. AB Moosa, the chief executive of the Avalon Group (CineCentre cinemas), said from Friday selected CineCentre sites would be opened in a phased-in manner. “Our cinemas will all trade on weekends with a selected few trading on some weekdays. “We will gradually phase in more cinema hours,”…

Targeted for ransom demands Spate of kidnappings of wealthy businessmen, call for probe by specialised unit CHARLENE SOMDUTH WEALTHY businessmen are once again being kidnapped, this time allegedly by copycat gangs. Yusuf Abramjee, a crime activist, said in recent weeks three businessmen had been kidnapped from their shops in Fordsburg, Gauteng. “The men were returned to their families after their families had paid ransoms starting from R50 000,” said Abramjee. “The issue of kidnappings is not new to South Africa. It started in Mozambique where businessmen were being targeted a few years ago, and it has now spilled over to South Africa. These syndicates that initially operated had international links and would run full intelligence on their victims.” Abramjee said from the videos of the recent kidnappings, the way they…

How countries compare POST REPORTER SOUTH Africa is the fourth-most expensive country in which to die. The research conducted by Sun-Life, the over-fifties’ life insurance provider in the UK, recently listed the most expensive countries to die in when compared with the respective cost of living and earnings. To work out the average cost of dying across the world, its research team gathered the available data and worked out the average cost of end-of-life rituals by analysing the costs of a typical ceremony for 35 countries (where information was available), such as the cost of burials and cremations. To ensure that they worked out a fair representation across countries, the researchers then looked at this cost in comparison with average salaries, giving them a fair understanding of the cost of…

‘My experiences with Yogi Bhajan’ A SPIRITUAL quest is fundamental to my life. I grew up in Indonesia, as a German, and felt deep underlying spiritual awe and fibre in everything. It was tangible to me as a child. Living later in Germany was challenging as the paradigm was so different. Yet, it was here that I met my teacher, Yogi Bhajan. A larger-than-life personality who believed living in community would resolve our basic issues in communication and societal conflicts. I moved into the ashram in Hamburg which, in the heady days of our 20s, was a great adventure. Getting up daily just after 3am, starting with a cold shower followed by three hours of morning practice was transformative. We regularly hosted Yogi Bhajan over the years and organised events…

Corruption is far more serious than Covid-19 PROFESSOR BRIJ MAHARAJ Pxfuel.com THIS is an address given at the recent online Stop C19 Corruption Rally organised by the Ahmed Kathrada Foundation. Om asato ma satgamaya, Tamaso ma jyotirgamaya O Lord lead us from untruth to truth, from darkness to light This mantra (sacred chant) from the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad, I.iii.28 encompasses the essence of the Hindu view towards corruption. Hindu scriptures explicitly condemn corruption and promote truthfulness. Hindu scriptures declare: Satyameva Jayate (truth alone triumphs Mundaka Upanishad, 3.1.6). A common thread in Hindu scriptures (and indeed in all faiths) is the call to fight for justice and righteousness, and corruption is a deviation from this path. In our country malfeasance thrives in this era of unrighteousness; the darkness of corruption envelops our…

Finding the path to ‘Moksha’ I REFER to the letter by Pundit T Surajbali, “Hindus have only one god” (the POST, August 19 – 23). The majority of Hindus have 35 million names for God and are followers of the Tamsic way of Hinduism. The majority of South African Hindus are misled because their spiritual journey to Moksha (salvation) stems from ancestor worship, or what my grandparents have done that has been followed by my parents. Such values, to date, are held by most Hindus. Likewise, most Hindus are bogged down in rituals rather than in prayer accordingly set down for peace, harmony and salvation. Finally reaching God’s abode – these very few words guide us to that one God, rather than dabbling with make-believe. Without a guru, you are…

Ideal classroom material THE POST (August 19 – 23) is to be commended on publishing the recollections of those who lived through the violence that engulfed Inanda in 1985. Anecdotal material like that is essential in adding perspective and character to the documentary aspect of history. Such accounts serve as ideal classroom material in that they enable learners to distinguish between factual and emotive details while appreciating the aspect of real-life drama which is often lost in historical accounts. On a different note, the article brought home to me how little my community knows about what happened in Inanda 35 years ago because it was not exposed to such violence. DR DUNCAN DU BOIS Bluff…

Story that unashamedly discusses abuse, taboos and life WHEN I read Vanessa Govender’s book, Beaten But Not Broken, I was in awe of her display of unusual clarity and the tenacity in her revelations of abuse and violence. So it was just a matter of time before she named her alleged abuser. The book highlighted some of the myths and stigmas that cloud Indian life. These include the barriers and subjugation faced by dark-skinned people and taboo practices – like females drinking and smoking, and engaging in sex outside marriage. These days, the former journalist imbues a fresh sultry charm, with all the glories of marriage and motherhood. It somehow seems a soothing balm for a tortured soul with deep scars. The book is compelling reading and a lesson for…

Protecting body’s largest organ in pandemic MARLENE CIMONS The Washington Post Pexels.com BEFORE the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, Adam Friedman, professor and interim chairperson of dermatology at George Washington University, rarely wore a mask. Today, working full days at the university’s outpatient facility, he wears one up to eight hours a day. As a result, his face has become perennially inflamed with an angry red rash. “I’m now a dermatologist and a patient at the same time,” he says. While he isn’t seeing many patients in person, only urgent cases, he’s still around his co-workers all day, so the mask must stay on. “These masks are super uncomfortable,” he said. Skin irritation from wearing personal protective equipment is a hazard already familiar to healthcare providers working in settings where…

Giving birth doesn’t come cheap, so start saving for your baby’s arrival PREPARING for a baby is not only about buying tiny clothes, nappies and mittens. It goes beyond watching the endearing ultrasound photos and counting baby kicks; baby planning involves a lot of financial preparation. Priti Rathi Gupta, the founder of LXME and the managing director and promoter at the Anand Rathi Group, spells out the most crucial financial tasks that must be on your checklist from the onset of your pregnancy. This includes estimating your medical costs, planning leave from your job and budgeting for your newborn’s arrival. • Save for medical expenses: The first step is to start saving. Considering the exorbitant charges for medical check-ups and tests, and poor maternity benefits, it would be wise to…

Interfaith marriage called a ‘love jihad’ AN INTERFAITH marriage in Kanpur, in Uttar Pradesh state in India, has caused a row with fringe religious outfits calling it a case of “love jihad”. This was despite the bride’s claims that she converted of her own will and married the groom of a different faith. The local Bajrang Dal unit is unwilling to accept that Shalini Yadav is an adult and free to make her own choices. On Sunday night, the Bajrang Dal workers created a ruckus outside the Kidwai Nagar and even got into an altercation with the police. Yadav, 21, a resident from Barra in Kanpur, had recorded a video after marrying Mohd Faisal. She subsequently posted it on Facebook. In the video, she is seen asking for protection because…

NEWS One tap, no electricity, no toilet… Despairing residents say their pleas for proper sanitation facilities are ignored CHARLENE SOMDUTH SIBONELO NGCOBO African News Agency (ANA) ADELE Pillay is seven months’ pregnant. She is one of 25 residents living in dilapidated buildings in Westcliff, Chatsworth, where the old child welfare offices were based. The structure does not have doors, windows or a roof. Residents use tin sheets as roofing. Others have built shacks around the buildings. They share a communal tap for water. They don’t have electricity, and to relieve themselves they use a dilapidated room or a nearby bush. Despite their pleas to eThekwini Municipality for proper sanitation, they claim nothing is being done to help them. Pillay, 25, lives in a brick home with a tin roof with…

Hearts of Tamils touched by Harris’s speech “CHITHI”, the Tamil word for a mother’s younger sister who is affectionate to her nephews and nieces, came into the spotlight after Kamala Harris used it in a speech to stress her Chennai roots. Harris, the US Democrat’s vice-presidential candidate, delivered the speech at the party’s national convention last week. Speaking about her mother, Shyamala Gopalan Harris, she said: “She raised us to be proud, strong black women. And she raised us to know and be proud of our Indian heritage. “She taught us to put family first. The family you are born into and the family you choose.” Harris explained what family meant to her: “Family is my uncles, my aunts, and my chithis. That I am here tonight is a testament…

Life will never be same for couple caught in shoot-out CHARLENE SOMDUTH THE lives of Omar and Asma Ismail have been completely changed. The couple and their 21-month-old daughter, Yusraa, were caught in the crossfire between the police and hijackers last month. Omar, 30, who works at an accounting firm, was shot in the head. His pregnant wife, Asma, 26, a medical technologist, was in the back seat with Yusraa. She was shot in her legs. Her right leg was amputated because she had lost a lot of blood and suffered severe tissue, muscle and bone damage. Her unborn baby was unharmed. Yusraa was grazed by bullets on her arm and stomach. The shoot-out happened about two minutes away from their home in Sheringham Road, Overport. Since the incident, the…

Yogi Bhajan sexual abuse claims ‘likely true’ Multiple reports surface against deceased spiritual leader JANINE MOODLEY THE multiple sexual abuse allegations against Yogi Bhajan, an Indian-born American Kundalini yogi and spiritual leader, are likely true. This was according to an independent investigative report released this month by An Olive Branch, an organisation that deals with ethical misconduct in spiritual communities. Bhajan, originally named Harbhajan Singh Khalsa, was born into a Sikh family in Punjab in 1929. In 1968, he moved to the US and was credited for bringing his version of Kundalini yoga to the West. He soon built an empire of several businesses and non-profit organisations worth billions. These include the Happy, Healthy, Holy Organization (3HO), the Kundalini Research Institute (KRI) and Sikh Dharma International. Over the years, Bhajan…

EDITOR’S VIEW Wheels of justice too slow to be of benefit CONTROVERSY has kept close company with Zandile Gumede throughout her political life. It was no different when, last week, she was sworn in as a member of the KwaZulu-Natal Provincial Legislature. The former mayor of eThekwini seemed in good spirits during the swearing-in ceremony which was broadcast live on Facebook. However, not everyone was happy. Those who have criticised her appointment did so on the basis that she has been charged with fraud and corruption and is on bail of R50 000. They also point to the fact that she was removed as mayor on the basis that she had not done a good enough job. The DA said the move was “a slap in the face” for everyone…

Dealing with the ‘shadow’ pandemic THE lockdown has been a way of halting the spread of Covid-19 and reducing its impact. However, it has had an impact on other pandemics – one of them being the pandemic of gender-based violence (GBV). The lockdown has afflicted people with job and income losses, increased anxiety and frustration, reduced tolerance levels, poor coping skills, restricted movement and crowded home spaces. Those with emotional and mental health issues have struggled with depression, suicidal tendencies, anxiety, substance abuse and violence. All these impacts of the lockdown have made women and children more vulnerable. Economic difficulties, overcrowding, and hardships have increased substance abuse and made the vulnerable easy targets. However, GBV has become a shadow pandemic. It exists. And yet it is difficult to address. Often…

Stalwart’s legacy lives on THE last of The Consulate Six stalwarts, attorney Devadas Paul David, sadly passed away. We all owe a debt of gratitude to Paul for his contribution to freedom and justice for all men and women in this country. He was the embodiment of true African nationalism. The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands in times of challenge and controversy. Courage in the face of oppression and resistance in the face of injustice. That is the enduring legacy of this gallant and brave freedom fighter. His motto was that we must combine the toughness of the serpent and the softness of a dove – a tough mind and a tender heart. Paul was…

All religions deserve the same level of respect HINDUS worldwide were enraged by a video that went viral on social media last week of a burka-clad Muslim woman destroying murthis, or tangible images, symbolising Lord Ganesha, in a store in Bahrain in the Middle East. The woman reportedly said: “This is a Muslim country … let’s see who will worship these statues … This is Mohamed ben Issa’s country, do you think he approved of this?” The Hindu fury is understandable. This lady’s reprehensible conduct cannot and must not be tolerated. However, the full truth is that the police in Bahrain acted swiftly, decisively and effectively by instituting prosecution. This laudable action is praiseworthy and exemplary, and should inspire Muslim authorities in Muslim-dominated countries worldwide to respect Hindu symbols and…

Dismal ‘double whammy’ LOAD shedding has become a way of life. Also, general unplanned power failures may occur anywhere and at any time, and without any warning. However, there are some areas in Durban that experience a double whammy – the water supply fails at exactly the same time as the electricity connection. One such area is Sherwood. This is most probably due to pumps that are electrically driven, which stop working because there is no electrical back-up. Other areas probably have generators that kick in to maintain the normal water pressure. This problem has been around for the last few years and it not only affects homes, but orphanages, schools and some small commercial outlets. The problem is being highlighted now because no water means an additional and unnecessary…

HEALTH Mask your skin irritations DURING the pandemic, as a responsible individual, you should be wearing a mask and sanitising your hands for prevention and protection. However, wearing the mask for long periods can cause skin irritations, due to friction and by exposing the skin to allergens. Your skin on your hands can become dry with constant sanitation. Let us make sense of the causes and implement techniques to overcome your skin concerns. Breaking down the causes: ON YOUR FACE: The mask and face shield affects the bridge, nose, chin, cheeks and forehead. • Friction and irritation push bacteria into the skin, creating micro-tears that allow easier entry for bacteria and dirt and triggers the acne process. • Oil and sweat: Masks trap humidity, dirt, oil and sweat on our…
