Khanyile was shot at his tavern in the early hours of December 24 last year. Khanyiles family say that since the death of their son they havent found peace. Msawenkosi Khanyile brother of the deceased told Echo that as a family they want answers from the police on what happened to the case as the alleged killer is walking free. The problem started when my brother ordered eggs from our neighbour and he neighbour failed to deliver. My brother had a tavern next toour home where he was relaxing with his friends on the day of the incident. The neighbour came to my brothers tavern on December 23 and said he wanted to buy something. My brother asked him to leave and told him that he must first bring the eggs. He neighbour then left and came back at around 1 am with a gun and shot my brother, he said. Upon hearing the news, Msawenkosi says he and his family went to the tavern where he claims they found the neighbour at the scene, still carrying the gun that he allegedly used to kill Khanyile. When he neighbour saw my mother, he ran away and handed himself over at the Taylors Halt Police Station but the next day he was released. I went to the police station to ques-tion why he is free while my brother is dead. They told me that he was going to appear in court on December 27 but that never happened. I went to court to ask if he had appeared but they told me that the docket was not enroled due to a lack of evidence, he said. The Khanyile family feels that the police have failed them. Msawenkosi said they demand answers on what happened to the case. How can they say that there is no evidence and witnesses while my brother was shot in front of his friends? The friends even came to us and told us that they are willing to testify. We told the police but still they are saying there are no witnesses. My brothers killer walks the streets and boasts that if you havemoney you can do anything and get away with it. This hurts us as a family because we want to see this man pay for his actions. We want justice as maybe it will help us get closure enable us to move on. Pietermaritzburg police spokesperson Mthokozisi Ngobese said the accused was arrested and he appeared in court. The charges were subsequently withdrawn for further investigations.It will be taken back to court in due course. Khulekani Khanyile was shot and killed, allegedly by a neighbour.

The competition commenced last Wednesday and it will end on September 28. It takes place for the eighth time this year and is run by Msunduzi Museum, KwaZulu-Natal Museum and Old Prison Museum. For schools to participate, they must visit the museums mentioned where they will receive a passport which will be stamped every time they visit. The prize for this years winner is R20 000. Chief public relations and marketing officer at KwaZulu-Natal Museum Viranna Frank saidthey are hoping to have more schools participating this year. The aim of the competition is to create awareness of these museums and to draw more visitors to the schools, offering programmes that are aligned to the curriculum assessment policy statements. We are able to add value to the lessons taught in the classrooms at all three museums, covering a range of topics including natural science and history, relevant to all grades up to and including matric, she said. She said last year they had 27 schools participate and this year they want to double the number. Last years winner was Rise and Shine Junior Primary School from Imbali.

This film aptly illustrates that people are willing to sacrifice principles for riches or po sition. South Africa is rich in natural beau ties and resources. Unfortunately, the corrupt, with their greed and avarice, have abandoned their conscience, accountability and compas sion. Billions of rands are expended on inef fective crimeprevention measures. Serious and violent crimes have escalated. The perpetrators are blood thirsty. The Department of Education has re moved religious instruction from the curric ulum. The idea of violence, destruction and a lack of morality should end, to acknowl edge a system of law and order. Unfortu nately, the whistleblowers, those who are morally upright, are punished for their honesty. Would you opt for honesty and morality, or take the rapidly spiralling downward plunge, as our leader, into corruption and economic disaster? The corrupt have sold out our country. Matthew 6:24: No one can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one or love the other, or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon. DR L.J. PELTZEVERY February, the media goes into overdrive promoting love and affection in the form of Valentines Day. Valentines Day, like other events that are hyped up by the media, is a money making tool; clever marketing that manipulates your emotions to get into your wallet. Yet with all this supposed romance in the air, statistics show that instead of Valentines Day being a day of love, there are more break-ups anddivorces at this time all over than at any other time of the year. The media thrives on peddling fantasy reality and if we buy into their hype, we feel quite bitter when these fantasies do not materialise. For the many whose Valentines and fantasies are not realised, or who do not receive a Valentines Card or gift, this period can be one of the most depressing times of the year and this does not affect adults only, as childrenat school are more affected by their relatively fragile emotions. We need to take a hard look at our lives and see the direction we are heading in and the challenges that face our children. Take notice of your own feelings and special notice of your children on February 14, and gauge the effect this has on our lives.

AREADER received a traffic fine more than five months after the alleged transgression took place, and a note stating the amount of the fine. We asked legal experts LawForAll for advice. Weve included types of traffic fines and how to contest them at the end of this article. Reader Romersa: I received a notice of an alleged offence more than five months after it happened. There was no admission of guilt fine on the notice but there was a note stating the amount would be determined by the prosecutor and a summons would follow. All this now five months after the date on the notice. What are my rights here and how do I contestthis? LAWFORALLS HEINRICH HORN ANSWERS: Dear reader, Were sorry to hear about this frustrating situation you are in. Its important to remember that it is within your legal rights to challenge a fine that you think is unfair. The law must be applied fairly and in line with the type of violation. There are two types of fines that can be issued by the traffic department. A S56 notice, which is normally given to you in person by a traffic officer. This will contain details of the offence as well as a specific court date. A S341 notice, which is sent in the mail after the offence has been committed.

These notices do not have a court date and are sort of a last warning before a summons is issued against you. In both cases, you have 30 days to approach the traffic department where the fine was issued to pay the fine. After the 30 days, a summons could be issued, which means you will have to go to court to state your case. This, however, varies from municipality to municipality. If you wish to challenge the fine before summons is issued, you need to send a letter or fax to the issuing traffic department that includes the fine and the reasons why you feel you shouldnt pay the fine. The prosecutor will then decide if heshe wants to prosecute the matter further. If the prosecutor still wants to prosecute, the matter will be set in front of a judge who will determine the amount that needs to be paid. Please take note that if a S341 notice is not issued within 30 days of the date of the infringement, then the notice is deemed invalid and this could be argued in court. If you live in PretoriaTshwane or Johannesburg, the procedure is slightly different as AARTO applies. The first step would be to download an AARTO 08 representation form and fill in all the necessary details including the violation notice number and the issuing authority. If you have gathered any additional evidence, you can send it as attachments. After it has been signed in front of a commissioner of oaths, you can upload and submit the completed form via the AARTO website. Should you be successful, the fine will be cancelled or reduced. Unfortunately, if you are unsuccessful, a further R200 may be added to the fine if you made your representation more than 64 days after the traffic violation. Below are steps to take for contesting traffic fines: Info by Justice Project South Africa Criminal Procedure Act S341 when you receive a traffic fine but not a court summons You may write to the traffic department. Youll need only the compounding notice number. If you have the compounding notice, attach a copy of it to your letter. Keep the original safe. Letters need not be accompanied by an affidavit. You can post, fax or e-mail your letter to the traffic department. You are not required to use registered mail if you post it, but it helps to establish a paper trail. The traffic department may respond to you in writing. In reality this rarely happens. If your representation is successful, the fine will either be cancelled or reduced. The most common outcome is for the fine to be reduced because they want the money. If your representation is unsuccessful, you will need to await the summons to be issued and served on you. By paying the admission of guilt fine on the compounding notice prior to a summons you will not incur a criminal record. Criminal Procedure Act S54 or S56 whenyou receive a summons to appear in court You may write to or approach the public prosecutor at the Magistrates Court you are summoned to appear in. Youll need the original S54 summons or S56 written notice. If you write to himher, attach a copy of the summons or written notice to your letter. Keep the original safe. Letters need not be accompanied by an affidavit. You can post, fax or e-mail your letter to the public prosecutor. You are not required to use registered mail if you post it, but it helps to establish a paper trail. If you write to the public prosecutor and do not deliver your letter in person, heshe may respond to you in writing. In reality this rarely happens. If your representation is successful, the summons will either be withdrawn or the fine reduced. The most common outcome is for the fine to be reduced because they want the money. If your representation is unsuccessful, you will have to appear in court if you do not pay the admission of guilt fine. If you appear in court, you are strongly advised to have an attorney represent you but be careful to obtain one who is familiar with traffic law. Theres a lot of truth to the saying a man who represents himself has a fool for a lawyer, so be careful. If you pay the admission of guilt fine or are found guilty in court, the Criminal Procedure Act says you must be given a criminal record. AARTO Act AARTO 01 or AARTO 03 applies to Tshwane and Johannesburg Youll need an AARTO 08 representation form from Youll need all of the details required on that from, including the infringement notice number and issuing authority name If you have any additional evidence, etc. you may attach it to your representation. All AARTO 08 representations must be signed in front of a commissioner of oaths. You submit this form by the methods stated on the form. You can upload it at the gov.za website. It is recommended that you use the facility on the AARTO website to submit it since this causes the status of the infringement notice to change to representation immediately on eNatis. You also get an AARTO 05c receipt to download immediately. By law, you must be notified of the outcome of your representation on an AARTO 09 result of representation. In reality this rarely happens. If your representation is successful, the infringement notice will be cancelled. If it is unsuccessful the RTIA may add a further R200 to the penalty if you made representation after 64 days had lapsed from the time of infringement. If your representation is unsuccessful, you may elect to be tried in court, in which case a summons in terms of Section 54 of the Criminal Procedure Act must be served on you. If you are found guilty in court, you will have to pay the fine but you will not incur a criminal record.

However, many people are still in the dark regarding this food-borne disease. According to a national Department of Health press statement, listeriosis is a serious but treatable and preventable disease caused by the bacterium Listeria monocytogenes. The bacteria is widely distributed in nature and can be found in soil, water and vegetation. Animal products andfresh produce such as fruits and vegetables can be contaminated from these sources. National Health Minister Dr Aaron Motsoaledi said: Although anyone can get listeriosis, those at high risk of developing severe disease include newborns, the elderly, pregnant women, people with weak immunity such as HIV, diabetes, cancer, chronic liver or kidney disease. Listeria monocytogenes is a disease that occurs every year and is seen in our hospitals, with typically 60 to 80 cases de-tected and treated annually. However, in July 2017, doctors from neonatal units in Chris Hani Baragwanath and Steve Biko Academic hospitals alerted the NICD about unusually high number of babies with listeriosis. This triggered a review of all cases diagnosed in both public and private hospitals. In October 2017, the Multisectoral National Outbreak Response Team MNORT was briefed on the situation in the country. Tracing fromJanuary 1, 2017, as of November 29, 2017, a total of 557 laboratory-confirmed listeriosis cases have been reported from all provinces. The age groups that are most affected are neonates, that means the first 28 days of life 37 and the age group between 15 to 49 years 33. These two groups comprise 70 of all cases. Of the 557 laboratory-confirmed cases, 34 were from the private health facilities and 66 were from public health facilitiesWORLD HEALTH ORGANISATION WHO HAS THE FOLLOWING FOOD SAFETY AD VICE: Keep clean. Wash your hands before handling food and often during food preparation. Do not get tired of washing your hands if it means washing 100 times a day, please do it! If you are handling or storing raw food, do not touch already cooked food unless you have washed your hands and food preparation utensils thoroughly. In other words, separate raw from cooked food. Cook food thoroughly, never eat half cooked or uncooked food, especially meat products. Food that does not usually need cooking be fore eating needs to be washed thoroughly with clean running water. Families with no source of clean running wa ter need to boil their water before domestic use. Keep food at safe temperatures. Food to be kept cold should be refrigerated and food to be served hot should be served hot. Use safe water for domestic use at all times and use pasteurised milk products. In situations where pasteurisation is not possible for own domestic consumption, please boil the milk prior to use.Fever chatted to a few people to get their views on this. Amanzimtoti resident Shelly Peters said: I have heard of the disease but i dont really know how it spreads. Philile Nxasana said: I know that the disease comes from the food that we eat. Andrea Smith from Warner Beach said she is constantly washing all the fruit she eats in fear of contracting the disease. Fever Reporter. Always wash your hands be fore and after touching food.

Endorsed by Interpol as a crime-prevention tool as it is impossible to suffer identity theft when using Pay2, it is the safest banking app to hit South Africa and has been welcomed by the government, financial officials and celebrities such as Luthuli Dlamini and others. The digital banking app was developed over a four-year period and recently launched by South African entrepreneur and businessperson Henry McCarter. Pay2 is set to take on international brands such as PayPal and Pay Fast, which have been reigning in the digital banking sphere around the world. SAs fastest and most secure, onthe- spot instant mobile payment system allows you to pay or get paid instantly with no need to exchange banking details. McCarter said: This is a South African initiative to bring safer, cheaper and secure banking to all. This app is here to save money and at the same time bring down fraudstatistics in the country. The app was also developed to cater for the unbanked community. Only a fee of R7 is required to pay anyone, even if it is a 1 million rand. We at Pay2 want to accommodate every South African in this new digital banking wave, so the app was created with the poor in mind. Whether you have a smartphone or not, you can use it to its full ability, by smsing Pay2 to 47470, he said. McCarter said the app is revolutionary and will transform SA banking. With the Pay2 app, you carry your money on your phone and it is easily accessible to you only.When asked about the safety of using the app, he said: With Pay2, none of your information is stored on your phone or your sim card, but rather on secure banking servers, so if you lose your mobile phone you have no need to be concerned as no one can access your Pay2 cellular phone account, simply take care of your login pin. What do you do when you go to a bank? Pay2 has associated itself with FNB and Nedbank. All you need is your pin to access your cash at an ATM. We are moving into a cashless and cardless age, which is far safer.Local actress makes it big in Johannesburg LETHIWE MAKHANYA BORN and bred in Imbali Unit 18, NonPay2 chairperson Henry McCarter. PHOTO: SAMKELISIWE GUMEDEFRI 16th SAT 17kululeko Sithole is making a name for herself in the acting industry in Johan nesburg. Speaking to Echo, Sithole said her decision to move to Johannesburg in July last year was based on her pas sion for acting. I realised that in KwaZuluNatal there are few agencies that can help you grow your talent in acting. I wouldnt have been able to travel to Johannesburg every time I had to meet with my agency, she said. Since her relocation, Sithole has ap peared on several soapies such Isibaya and Generations The Legacy. She is also busy shooting for Ring of Lies which is expected to air next month. I am so grateful for my achievements in such a short period of time because I only started acting in 2015. My first role was in video of a love poem that was done by Golide. It is not easy to crack into the act ing industry and it is not guaranteed how long you are going to be relevant for. If you decide to enter this industry you must not enter because you want to be famous or you want money. What is most important is that you must put education first. You need to have some backup plan. Finish school, go to university, find a stable job and then do your acting. That way, you will not suffer when the industry hits you hard, she said. Sithole said she wants to initiate a theatre school in Pietermaritzburg oneNonkululeko Sithole of Imbali is now an actress. PHOTO: SUPPLIED day where she will be teaching all who are interested in acting. For now, I can host workshops during school holidays when I am in Pietermaritzburg.

Zanele Rapitsi 19 was offered a fully paid bursary by Priscilla Bhika owner of School of Fashion Design to complete her first year. Rapitsi said she is very happy that Bhika and the School of Fashion Design have helped her realise her dream. I have always had a passion for fashion and I am a keen designer who started draw ing outfits and dresses when I was in Grade 4. The love of fashion and staying up dated with the latest trends fostered a love for fashion as a career. I still cannot believe it. I never thought that I would be furthering my studies this year, let alone doing what I have always dreamed off. I have a lot to be thankful for, especially to everyone at the Pietermaritzburg Chil drens Home and to Bhika and the school, she said. Rapitsi started her studies last Wednesday and is looking forward to learn ing new skills. PCH public relations officer Christopher Mohadeo said he and Rapitsi visited the school and spoke to Bhika about Rapitsis dream of becoming a fashion designer. She Bhika saw a passion and the drawings that were produced by Rapitsi. She was im pressed and she then offered her a bursary. We are very humbled by Bhikas generous heart and her willingness to offer Rapitsi a full bursary, he said.Zanele Rapitsi on her first day at the School of Fashion Design.THE South African Institute of Tax Pro fessionals SAIT recently made submis sions to the South African Revenue Ser vice SARS regarding the tax treatment of amounts received in consequence of voluntary retrenchments. SAIT has received clarification that voluntary severance packages qualify as severance benefits. The submissions were made in re sponse to the recently published Com pletion Guide for IRP3a and IRP3s Forms SARS Completion Guide. The SARS Completion Guide assists employers in submitting tax directives on, among others, the retrenchment of employees. The SARS Completion Guide appears to adopt the view that only in voluntary severance payments qualify for the preferential tax treatment of sever ance benefits and not voluntary sever ance packages. If an employee agrees to a voluntary severance package and the employer elects severance benefits voluntary retrenchment on the IRP3a form, the application is currently processed by SARS according to the normal tax ta bles, and not the favourable tax table for severance benefits. Voluntary and involuntary retrench ments are usually a result of a general reduction of staff, reduction of staff in a particular class or the employer ceasing or planning to cease trading. In most cases, individuals being re trenched also do not hold more than five percent of the shares or members interest in the employer company. We thus agree with the submission that a voluntary severance package usually meets all the requirements for a sever ance benefit in terms of the Income Tax Act 58 of 1962 the act, and should accordingly be granted the same tax treat ment as involuntary severance packages. We agree with the proposal that the SARS Completion Guide be updated to remove the distinction between volun tary and involuntary retrenchments as this distinction does not exist in the def inition of severance benefit in the act. As a result of the submission, SARS has accepted that voluntary severance packages on retrenchments should in the interim be disclosed under the sever ance benefits involuntary retrench ment option in the IRP3a form in or der for the severance benefit table to apply to such lump sums. This is the position while the SARS Completion Guide and forms are updat ed to reflect the change in SARS practice and policy. In terms of current tax tables, the first R 500 000 of a severance benefit excluding leave and notice payments received in the lifetime of the individual is exempt from normal tax, with the re mainder taxed at increasing marginal rates with 36 being the maximum rate. The clarification that voluntary sev erance packages qualify as severance benefits is to be welcomed as it has sig nificant financial implications to employ ees who are retrenched. As employers could be, among oth ers, personally liable for shortfalls of PAYE withheld, we recommend that le gal and tax advice be obtained as early as possible in any proposed business re structuring or retrenchment.

Radebe from Pietermaritzburg. My number is 073 306 4713. I am one of the women who lost hope and lot of money to many fake Doctors, Sangoma and Herbalists. I was struggling in my life because of financial problems as I was working as a teacher in Pietermaritzburg until I met one of my old friends who I was together in the teaching college driving a very expensive car and she took me to her home which she had bought for cash without any loan or bond. I explained to her how I was struggling financially with my family and I begged her to tell me the secret behind her successful life. She gave me different newspapers with articles of different people thanking MAMA HALU on how she is helped end their financial problems. I never hesitated and I called MAMA HALU and she explained different ways but I was interested with the SHORT BOYS to put R3 million in my FNB account and within 4hrs I was shocked to receive a message from the bank that R3 million has been deposited into my account. I called MAMA HALU and it was a call of Joy to asking her what must I do next with the money in my account and she just told me that I must transfer 25 to her account and I did it from the bank without any problems or question from the bank. Since then she never called or asked me anything again. I am living a beautiful and successful life that everyone deserves. I started my taxi business with that money and bought my dream house. My children are going to good schools now. No matter how hard and tough your financial problems are, I promise you that MAMA HALU will make you and your family to leave a better life.

Molefe started playing cricket in Grade 6 at Wil lowfontein Intermediate School, now known as Wil lowfontein Secondary School. Molefe now plays for the KwaZuluNatal Inland Womens Cricket Team. She said she has always loved cricket and she dreams of playing for the national team one day. When I started playing cricket, my friends just told me that we must play cricket and I said yes. That is how it all started. When I got into high school, my school entered the KFC Cricket Search Competition that always takes place at The Oval. I was lucky to be selected by KwaZuluNatal Inland and asked to go back for training, she said.She said that when she attended the training ev erything was very easy for her as she already knew a lot about cricket. I then started playing for the U19 team and later started playing for the senior team. It is almost 10 years now since I started playing cricket. I never stopped and I will never stop. Cricket is my life. I want to be an example to the youth who are younger than me. I want to show them that if you love something and have a passion for it, you never stop. There have been challenges along the way but I kept on pushing because I knew what I wanted. In 2013, I was injured and I did not play for the whole year, she said. Molefe said that besides playing for the KZN In land team, she trains young children in her area who love cricket. We encourage them and teach them skills. We want them to grow up with the skills that we have. It is my way of giving back.OFFERING YOU EVERLASTING MEMORIES OF YOUR LOVED ONESGENUINE GRANITE TOMBSTONES AS WPULLEN SONS MEMORIALS46 Allandale Drive, Pietermaritzburg 3201033 38 78913 ShopMASTER MONUMENTS169 Peter Kerchoff Chapel Street, P.M.
