FASHIONISTA Sonam Kapoor shared that while she bought a lot of clothes when she was younger, borrowing from designers was more practical. She said: “I just wanted to wear what I liked from the designers I knew. It was just me being myself.” The 39-year-old actress, who is the daughter of veteran star Anil Kapoor and former model and designer Sunita, said she considered designers as stars. “I considered fashion designers, both international and Indian, as stars because I grew up admiring them through my mom. I realised people didn’t often borrow clothes, so I started borrowing them. It didn’t make sense to buy everything all the time. Borrowing was more practical. This practice was common internationally, but not in India. I was a 20-year-old girl, just following my passion…

A NEWCASTLE mother wept this week as she recalled how her son, who was born prematurely, made headlines in the POST in 2002. Last Wednesday, Kavitha Laloo, had to lay her 22-year-old son, Nikeel, to rest after he was killed in a crash. His friend Ashiq Peter Ramouthar, 21, also died in the multi-vehicle accident on the N11 at Kilbarchan in Newcastle. Their two friends Yusha Rasool and Anthony Faryers are in a serious condition in hospital. They were travelling to their college, Durnacol Skills Hub, in Newcastle, when tragedy struck. A distraught Kavitha Laloo said soon after his birth, Nikeel appeared on the front page of the POST’s weekend edition, with her and his father Sharveen, who died three years ago. He was their miracle baby who was born…

GRIEVING Pietermaritzburg families are forced to travel long distances to cremate their loved ones because the local crematoriums are not operational. DA councillor Suraya Reddy said Pietermaritzburg had two crematoriums in Mountain Rise, which had not been functioning properly for the past three years due to ongoing “technical issues”. “We have had cases where bodies had been half cremated or the bones of the bodies were not properly crushed into ash due to mechanical failure. Distraught families then had to take the half-cremated remains to other facilities to complete the cremation,” claimed Reddy. She said some families had then also opted to use the private Cato Ridge Crematorium. However, this facility was destroyed in a recent fire. Reddy said families had to now travel to Durban to do cremations at…

As if the cost of living is not already a nightmare, the expenses for end-of-life arrangements are becoming unaffordable, and causing distress for bereaved families. Basic living costs such as transport, electricity, and food are outstripping inflation, and some households are simply not coping. Now funerals are to cost more – those who choose to cremate their departed must contend with a 50% tariff increase, effective from July 1, for cremations at eThekwini Municipality crematoriums. This hike has been met with strong opposition by ratepayers and civic organisations. eThekwini Municipality says the increases are necessary to cover the shortfall in operational costs, including the purchase of gas, for the Mobeni Heights, Stellawood and Tongaat crematoriums. Hindus have traditionally preferred cremation over burial because it aligns with their spiritual beliefs. But…

THE article “Comedian-turned-politician to champion change for minorities”, the POST, July 17-24, refers. The Natal Indian Congress (NIC) was a powerful voice in our community and I fully support and agree with the great history in the article, the “Revival of the Natal Indian Congress: The past confronts the present” in the same edition. Thanasagren Rubbanathan Moodley or Karou Charou started off in Chatsworth as a taxi driver. He then went on to be the manager of a hall and later a comedian. The NIC will always be close to my heart as my late parents sacrificed their lives to achieve the freedom we share today. Karou Charou should not be allowed to make a mockery of such passion and dedication of many people, who give their lives to the…

CEASEFIRE or not, the damage in Gaza has been done. What was once a beautiful, soulful home for those who had lived there is now nothing more than a pile of steaming, burning and bruised rubble. How my heart bleeds for the innocent children and civilians who persevere day after day, subjected to the seemingly never-ending barrage of rockets and gunfire. Who will comfort the widows, the children, the grandmothers, wives and daughters over the loss of their loved ones? Again and again, I wonder, how can we do this to each other? We are the greatest pretenders, it seems. We pretend to champion freedom, equality, liberty and justice. We hop on movements like “Black Lives Matter” and “Me Too” faster than we change our underwear. But when we are…

THE son of a Chatsworth man who was robbed of his belongings, shot in the head, and thrown over a bridge, detailed how he discovered his father’s clothes and remains along a river bank nine months after his disappearance. The trial of three men accused of robbing and killing 75-year-old Dougie Nelson kicked-off in the Scottburgh High Court on Monday. Adriano Everts, 24, of Cape Town, Gadwin van Peer Chetty, 40, of Malvern, and Previn Gounder, 39, of Chatsworth, were arrested and charged with murder, robbery with aggravating circumstances and theft. According to the indictments, it is alleged that Nelson, a father of five sons, was robbed of his vehicle, cellphone, and bank card, shot in the head, and thrown over the uMzinto River Bridge on December 9, 2020. It…

MAHARAJA (translated to “king”) is without a doubt one of the best Kollywood movies of all time. Kudos to director Nithilan Swaminathan on his second movie after his critically-acclaimed 2017 hit Korungu Bommai (“monkey doll”). Swaminathan is a wizard of his craft. He knows exactly how to present an engrossing movie to a discerning audience. He had done it in 2017 and after a hiatus of four years, he comes up trumps yet again with Maharaja. Maharaja can be classified as a hyperlink movie because initially it seems to be made up of several separate, unconnected and unrelated storylines that gradually meld into a single dominant storyline. We the audience realise that it was all one big story all along. The story of Maharaja is a simple one. Sethupathi plays…

AKSHAY Kumar seems to love starring in biopics of real-life heroes, who address social issues. He did that with Toilet: Ek Prem Katha, to highlight the plight of inadequate sanitation, especially for women in rural areas. Then there was Mission Raniganj, where he played an officer, who persevered to rescue trapped miners; Padman, a pioneering film about women’s struggles during menstruation; and several more addressing issues such as transgender in Laxmii. He does this again in Sarfira, in which he plays the founder of Deccan Airlines, GR Gopinath, who persisted in his dream of making air flights accessible to the poorest villagers. For some reason, the name of the protagonist in the movie is changed to Vir Jagannath Mhatre, who leaves the Indian Air Force along with two friends after…

A NOTORIOUS gang of “contract killers” had been hired to place a hit on a wealthy Overport, Muslim businessman and his bodyguards, transporting R2.4 million to a bank on behalf of local business owners, last week. A source told the POST that the gang had a “hitlist” which included the names of several “big businessman” in KwaZulu-Natal (KZN). Four of the gang members, who were killed in a shoot-out with police last Wednesday, were wanted for a spate of cash in transit (CIT) robberies and contract killings allegedly linked to the construction mafia in KZN. One of the suspects is in hospital under heavy police guard. The businessman’s life was spared after police received information about the hit and intercepted the gang on Moses Kotane and Barns Roads, in Sydenham.…

PATIENTS at the Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Hospital have been left feeling frustrated after allegedly being made to wait hours for treatment, sometimes having to return the next day, as well as being “attacked” by security guards. Jessie Pillay, 39, of Phoenix, alleged that she had been verbally abused and threatened by security guards and staff, as well as held and interrogated in a room for refusing to delete a video she had taken at the hospital last Thursday. She said she had taken her 16-year-old son for an appointment to have an ultrasound due to him having pain in his throat. “The appointment was at 7.30am on July 18. After the ultrasound, we went back to the Medical Outpatients Department (MOPD). However, there were about 30 people waiting to be…

LAST week, the world was shocked to learn that Britain’s largest telecom company paid a hacker about £370 000 (about R8.7 million) to delete customer data that was stolen from them due to a hacking process. Legal? Illegal? Let’s leave them and worry about our own service providers in good old South Africa. “Service provider”: That’s a misnomer if nothing else. In most industries here, service is ailing. However, my interaction of recent with my cellular network provider has revealed how royally conned we are, and I don’t think it is just happenstance. I believe it is planned and executed with cunning accuracy. For the simple reason that I do not want to be further targeted, I will not identify my service provider. But yello, I am sure your one…

THE South African political landscape is witnessing an unprecedented betrayal of voter trust. The recent budget cuts facing every department in the national Parliament stem directly from President Cyril Ramaphosa's decision to expand the Cabinet to its largest size in history. This expansion, adding more ministries, was a compromise reached with opposition parties, including the DA. Ironically, these same parties had campaigned vigorously on an anti-ANC platform, promising to prevent the ANC from securing a clear majority. The DA, in particular, criticised the ANC for maintaining what it perceived to be a bloated cabinet and wasting taxpayers’ money. Their manifesto was clear: If given power, they would trim the Cabinet and reduce unnecessary expenditure. However, post-elections, the DA’s actions starkly contradicted its pre-election promises. Eager to form a grand coalition…

HONOURABLE Visvin Reddy (Member of Parliament) had been fearless in criticising the eThekwini Council when he was a councillor. I read recently that he questions the bloated Cabinet and the waste of our money. Take them to the cleaners. How could President Cyril Ramaphosa justify paying each one of his ministers and deputy ministers more than R200 000 a month? It is mind-boggling that each one of these members of the bloated Cabinet gets paid monthly more than what 1 000 old-age people get paid per month by way of social grants (pensions). The president and the ANC were very astute. They pulled the wool over the eyes of their Government of National Unit (GNU) counterparts. But the 10 parties were going to be accommodated. They couldn’t worry because they…

THIS past week we saw an amazing finish to the British Open 2024 with Xander Schauffele making it two majors in a season. The course was very demanding and it came down to a player who could close the deal with the finer touches of the game. I have always highlighted the importance of the short game. In the end, Schauffele made some crucial putts and went on to bag a comfortable victory with an impressive display on the back nine, where so many others fell apart. I was invited to play on the Asian Tour recently and I could not miss this opportunity of the intense golf tournament environment. Having been out of tour play for a few years, I have to confess some sleepless nights prior to the…

ANDY Murray confirmed yesterday that he would retire after the Paris Olympics, closing another chapter in tennis’s golden age. The 37-year-old, a two-time Olympic champion, is planning to play in the singles and doubles at his fifth Games. “Arrived in Paris for my last-ever tennis tournament @Olympics,” the three-time Grand Slam champion and former world No 1 posted on social media. “Competing for Great Britain has been by far the most memorable weeks of my career and I’m extremely proud to get to do it one final time.” Murray has been ravaged by injuries in recent years, slumping to 121st in the world. The Scot has played with a metal hip since 2019 and suffered ankle damage earlier this year before undergoing surgery to remove a spinal cyst, which ruled…

DINESH Vijan, producer of Stree 2, said that the work on Stree 3 had already started. Vijan attended the trailer launch of Stree 2 along with the cast, including Shraddha Kapoor, right. “Stree 2 is the mothership of the supernatural universe of Maddock Films. The trailer just shows 10% of what’s there in Stree 2,” Vijan said. “We have already started the work on Stree 3, so the wait won’t be longer this time.” The supernatural universe started with Stree in 2018 and was furthered by films like Roohi, Bhediya and the recent box-office wonder, Munjya.

DURBAN waterman Jace Govender has been honoured with a gold award for bravery from the National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI) for his efforts in rescuing more than 200 people during the April 2022 floods in KwaZulu-Natal. Govender, 53, the superintendent for eThekwini Aquatic Safety and a professional fisherman, was also recognised for using his sardine boat to rescue people along with the NSRI team. The organisation said Govender’s actions in the face of direct danger “was in the very finest traditions of the National Sea Rescue Institute”. Isipingo-born Govender was given the accolade during the NSRI’s annual awards evening at the Capital Zimbali in Ballito on Friday. The event honoured volunteers and other courageous individuals, who helped save lives in South African waters. Govender said he had worked with the…

MEMBERS of the angling community have condemned the Supreme Court of Appeal’s ruling against the use of drones and other mechanical aids when angling off rock and surf. This follows a legal battle that started in 2022, after the Department of Forestry, Fisheries and Environment issued a notice prohibiting the use of drones or other bait-carrying devices. The department said it issued the notice after it came to their attention that anglers were using bait- carrying devices, including drones, to catch fish and sharks. Aggrieved by the effects it would have on their businesses, several entities involved in manufacturing, importing and selling fishing drones decided to challenge the department. But in March 2022, the Gauteng High Court dismissed their application to challenge the notice. The business entities then approached the…

I AM APPALLED and disgusted by the front-page article, “Mom dies, hospital negligence blamed”, the POST, July 17-21. Despite the outrage from Selestene Moonsamy’s family and friends, she will sadly become just another statistic. The loss of this young woman’s life in her prime is heartbreaking. The care in state facilities is appalling. It seems like every month, these state hospitals make headlines for all the wrong reasons. Irresponsible management and staff are turning hospitals, once places of care and wellness, into killing machines with a don’t-care attitude. There is a crisis in all state hospitals, and it’s deteriorating daily. It’s time to restore human dignity. Somebody must be held accountable, and an independent investigation is needed by elder politicians the likes of Kamal Panday, Ronnie Veeran and Omie Singh.…

POLICE are investigating a case of assault after a Phoenix man allegedly punched his neighbour in the face during an altercation over a dog urinating on his gate. The dog owner, Nikesh Inderjeeth, 51, of Trenance Park, said his neighbour called to speak to him on Sunday. “Our dog is a Chow Chow named Sky. He is harmless and always runs out the gate to urinate on the neighbour’s gate. He does this at the homes neighbouring ours and not just on this man’s gate,” said Inderjeeth. “When I asked him if he was complaining because we had earlier complained about a light that shines from his property into mine, he denied it. Before I knew it, he punched me in the face and my glasses broke. My son was…

RETURNING champ Muhammad Zaydan Vather is set to reclaim his title at the Champion of Champions World Golf Tournament in northern Ireland at the Lough Erne Golf Resort in Enniskillen this week. The eight-year-old, also known as MZ, arrived in Ireland on Saturday. The competition started yesterday (Tuesday) and will end on Thursday. He said he would love to win for the second consecutive year, but golf was a difficult game to win every time, so he hoped to the make top 3. “I love the game because I can play it on my own and I don’t have to rely on anyone. I also love challenges and golf challenges me and brings out the best in my abilities. Golf also has a long lifespan in professional golf, so I…

RASSIE Erasmus selected his strongest available side for the tour Down Under as the Springboks start their Rugby Championship campaign next month. Siya Kolisi will continue to lead the Springboks in at least the first couple of Rugby Championship Tests against the Wallabies in Australia next month. Head coach Erasmus announced a 33-man squad yesterday for the tour, with a welcome return for Bulls lock Ruan Nortje, who replaces the injured Franco Mostert. Two double World Cup winners, hooker Malcolm Marx and loose forward Pieter-Steph du Toit, are also back despite having picked up injuries recently against Ireland in a hard-fought two-Test series. But their inclusion will be welcomed, especially with two tough matches expected in Brisbane on August 10 and Perth a week later. Erasmus selected 22 World Cup…

PEP Guardiola insists that Kevin de Bruyne will not leave Manchester City this season after reports the Belgium star could move to Saudi Arabia. De Bruyne has just one year left on his City contract and the midfielder revealed recently that he has spoken with his wife Michele about his future plans. “For Michele an exotic adventure is okay,” De Bruyne said in a hint that he could end his successful spell at Premier League champions City. Saudi Pro League club Al-Ittihad were believed to be interested in De Bruyne. But UK press reports yesterday said City manager Guardiola had rejected any thought of the 33-year-old being allowed to walk away this season. Speaking before Manchester City’s friendly against Celtic in North Carolina, Guardiola told reporters “Kevin isn’t leaving”. De…
