It was an emotional scene as rela-tives identified the bodies and tearsflowed at the loss of their loved ones.
A neighbouring farmer Ian Rob-erts said: “We were sitting on the
verandah and kids were swimmingwhen we heard the plane coming.”
He said the plane was going veryfast and low. “In seconds it just disin-tegratedwith onewing still on, and itjust broke into pieces,” said Roberts.
He described it as a “catastrophicbreak-up”.
Hesaid theywere told itwasanewplane the men had gone to fetch inJohannesburgandtheywereontheirway to Virginia Airport in Durban.
A farmworker, Maletsatsi Lekenasaid: “We saw something blowing upin the air and we then heard a loudbang before seeing flames.”

Growing up in
SILENCE>> Gillitts mum talks about life with deaf parents
KALISHA NAICKER
BORN to deaf parents, Gillittsmother Norma Miller is nowdedicating her life to change
thewaypeople viewdeafness, and isencouraging the community to learnto “sign”.
Looking back at her life, Normashrugs her shoulders and says itwas the only reality she knew.
She realises that she maturedquickly and became an early com-municator in her role as familyspokesperson.
“I remember being five andhaving to phone the doctor, dentistand hairdresser to make appoint-ments formyself,mom anddad,’’ ex-plains Norma, who has a sister sixyears younger.
“To this day,when I go to a restau-rant I order for the whole table. Myhusband has given up placing hisown order,” she laughs.
She says that people who are deafandhardofhearing make up the big-gest handicap group and that ifsomeone temporarilylosestheirabil-ity to hear, they need to re-adjust tosoundswhen this sense returns. Thisis because the auditory processingpartsof thebrainneedtobeconstant-ly stimulated, which is not the casewith sight.
Norma’s father Bobby is totallydeaf,while mom Jean is profoundlydeaf and wears a hearing aid whichalerts her to noises, although shecannot process speech sounds.
“My mom seems to have devel-opedanextrasense.Shedoesn’tsleep
with her hearing aid, andwhenIwaslittle, I would stand by her bed andshe would wake up instantly.
“She always seemed to knowwhenmysisterPamandIneededher.
“The deaf community is the clos-est-knit community I have been ex-posedto. It is very difficult for peoplewho are deaf to be fully part of ahearing social event, as it is difficultto lip-read unless someone is facingyousquarely,so group conversationsinahearing environment are incred-ibly strenuous and difficult.”
She says that if more people knewsign language, people who are deafor hard of hearing would not feel soisolated and lonely in this environ-ment.
Norma said: “If peopleweremadeaware of the best way to communi-cate with deaf people, i.e. makingsure your mouth is visible for lip-reading, not covering yourmouth,etc., it would also be of great value.”
AlthoughNormahadahappyandfulfilling childhood, it wasn't neces-sarily the same as everyone else's.
“Asayoungster, I rememberbeingaware that our family was different,andnoticing that people would stareat our family communicating in signlanguage.
“I sometimes got frustrated aboutthe way people would treat my par-ents.
“While some people would beawkward, others would treat mymom and dad as if they were inca-pable of doing basic tasks, whichwas annoying because they are themost capable people I know.”
Normasaid thatover timesherea-lised that people don’t know how toreact to a disability, and as a resulttheir behaviour can be perceived asinsulting, which she now knows isnot the intention.
“My dad’s deafness was as aresult of his mom contracting Ger-man measles during her pregnancy,while the cause of my mom’s deaf-ness is unknown.”Norma recentlyqualifiedasahear-
ing aid acoustician.Thegruelling two-year correspon-
dence course included practicalwork,under thementorshipofanau-diologist, plus two weekly assess-ments in Johannesburg.
Her graduationtakesplaceinApriland thereafter she is hoping to workin the industry.

A34-YEAR-OLDGillitts zoologist isusing his career to preserve leop-ardsandwildlife inKwaZulu-Natal,one animal at a time.
Tristan Dickerson's interest inpredators led him to study biologyandbehavioural ecologyat theUni-versity of KwaZulu-Natal where healsoworked as a research assistantfor the Pilanesburg National ParkElephant Project and the PhindaBlack Rhino Project.
Shortly after he joined Pan-thera's Munyawana Leopard Proj-ect his work focused on capturing,collaring and radio tracking theleopardpopulationinKwaZulu-Na-tal's Phinda Game Reserve.
Much of Dickerson's work forPanthera also involved trackingPhinda's leopards and mitigatinghuman-leopard conflicts in the re-gion. One of hismost recent preser-vationtechniqueshasbeenthroughPanthera's Furs for Life LeopardProject.
Thisprojectcreateshigh-quality,affordable and realistic fake leop-ard skin for use among followers ofthe Shembe Church.
"Today, the Shembe communityencompasses five to 11 millionmembers who wear leopard skinsduring religious ceremonies," saysDickerson.
To reduce the hunting of leop-ards and the demand for real leop-ard skins, while respecting the cul-turaltraditionsoftheShembe,Dick-erson has developed partnershipswith leaders of the church.
These leaders now encouragefollowers to use Panthera's fakeskins, which last much longer thanreal skins, and are a fraction of theprice.
Currentlythisfatheroftwoisem-ployedbythePhezuluSafariParkasa conservation expert.
"I am very fortunate to have theopportunity towork at Phezulu andstillbe involved inconservation,ed-ucation and tourism."
He has received numerousawards and achievements for hispassion for animals.
"I was chosen by the Mail &Guardian as one of South Africa'stop 200 young South Africans. Lastmonth I featured in Men’s Healthmagazine’stop20SouthAfricansasan inspirational game changer," he
said.InadditionDickersonwassentto
the Tibetan Plateau, China by Pan-thera and caught Snow Leopards.
He says one has to understand aspecies from the individual behav-iour to the species conservation inorder to work with them.
"We often get caught up in indi-vidual emotions and need to take astep back to do what is best [in thelong] term," said Dickerson.
"On an individual basis onemustnotbearrogantorcomplacentas this immediately shows disre-spect for animals.
“The people who think theyknow too much normally get hurt.From a life of trapping predators IhaveneverbeenhurtbecauseIhavehuge respect for animals. You needpatience, understanding and re-spect."
His message to the youth whowanttotakeupacareerinconserva-tion is: "Take the time to listen andunderstand before reacting to any-thing.
"This is a lesson I learnt duringmy work in conservation. I wouldnot have achieved what I have inconservation if I made emotionaldecisions and did not take the timeto understand the flip side of thecoin. It is for this that I was selectedfor theMen’sHealthachievement,"he said.
"For younger people, they mustlook after our animals and their en-vironment.
“The conservation work is longand tough but when you save justone animal— even ants, as my sondoes, because hewant to be awild-lifewarrior— the feeling of successoutweighs all the tough times."

KALISHA NAICKER
AWOULD-BE thief got more than he bar-gained for when he was caught red-handed in Kloof on Friday.
According to ADT Security armed responseofficer Zakhele Bethwell Zondi, he was dis-patched to an alarm activation at a complex inVillage Road just after 3am.
Zondi said thatwhile entering the complex,a white Volvo sped past him and was stoppedat the gate by another ADT Security back-upvehicle.
“In an attempt to flee the suspect reversedthe vehicle at high speed into my vehicle door,then into anearbybrick pillar andbuilding be-fore coming to a standstill,” he said.
Zondiandhisback-up,armedresponseoffi-cer Welcome Shangase successfully appre-hended the suspect and handed him over forarrest to the Dawncliffe South African PoliceService.
Further investigation revealed that the sus-pect had stolen a hose pipe from a unit in thecomplex and had used it to climb up onto the
balcony where he broke in to the home. Thesuspect admitted to stealing the vehicle keysand remotes for the garage and gate before at-tempting to steal the car.
Ivan Govender, manager of ADT Security’sDurbanSouthbranch commended the officersfor their swift response and had this reminderfor residents: “Never leave anything outdoorsthat couldbeusedas aweaponor to break intoyour home.
“As an extra security measure, consider in-stalling outdoor beams — if you already havethem ensure that they are on overnight andwhen your home is unoccupied.”

THE patellahammer is a rubber tri-anglewith ametal or plastic handle,used for checking “reflexes”. Use ofapatellahammer is asmuchart andtechniqueasit isscience.Ihaveafewdifferent ones, since the standardhammer, as small as it is, is too largetocheckthereflexesonasmallYork-ie or cat.
A reflex arc is the nerve-muscleloop that protects the body. Imagine
the dog is overstretching its knee –the receptors in the tendon of thekneecapstimulatethefemoralnerve– an impulse ascends to the spinalcord, segment L4-L6 and the spinalnerves trigger a contraction of thequadriceps muscle, flicking the legforward, away from the direction ofoverstretch. If that segment of thespinalcordoranypartof thefemoralnerve were damaged, the reflex
would be depressed; if the damagewas higher up the cord, the reflex isexcessive or hyper-reflexic.
To use the hammer, the vet mustknow the origin, path and action ofevery nerve and muscle tested; aswell as use the perfect technique tostimulate a reflex. The vet must bemethodical, testing all relevant re-flexesonbothsides,andbepreparedto admit the patient and repeat tests
– these are not always black andwhiteresponsesandretestingisuse-ful in building a picture of the func-tionalandstructuralstateoftheneu-romuscular system. A light touch isneeded, in the right places, and agood eye. Many young vets struggleor rush through the “neuro” exam,to the detriment of the patient. Givethe vet time and switch off your cell-phone in the consult room.

HUMAN beings are ridiculous creatures. Weare vain, indecisive and possess an overinflated opinion of our own importance.
Thebeachfrontisagoodplacetogowhenyou want to see ridiculousness at its best.People use this space to exercise in many different ways, including cycling, walking, rollerblading, and moving on strange things thatlook like orbitreks on wheels. Then there arethose who either do not understand the principle of exercise, or simply don’t care. Theseare the people you see coasting along onelectric bicycles, standing on skateboardsand being pulled along by their dogs, or simply lounging on the sand getting skincancer.
As any fittingroom attendant at a clothing store will tell you, people have grosslyskewed impressions of their bodies.
After watching a size 16 woman attemptto squeeze into a size 12 pair of jeans for the20thtimeinoneshift, itamazesmethatpeople keep their cool.
A couple of months ago I went to a nightclub and overheard the following conversation in the bathroom:
Girl 1: I can’t believe I’m, like, turning 19 tomorrow. That’s like so old!
Girl 2: I turned 19 last month. I can’t believe I still don’t have a boyfriend.
Girl 1 and Girl 2: hysterical gigglingThis exchange, out of the mouth of babes,
leaves me with little hope for the future.Add to this the existence of the word
“aweh”, and we are thoroughly screwed.When it comes to judging people’s char
acter, there are a few basic tests that I liketo use.
like to judge people on is whether they botherto greet cashiers and attendants at tollbooths.
Even a car guard who wants a tip after“watching” your car for five minutes deservesa greeting.
We’re all suffering as a result of the petrolprice, but being polite costs nothing. Possession of a sense of humour is key, not only tobeing a nice person, but to surviving in a worldfull of notsonice people.
People without the ability to laugh atthemselves and the world around them endup hijacking aircraft, shooting children attheir alma mater or having their wife murdered on their wedding night and then nothaving the balls to voluntarily come back tothe country of the crime to stand trial.
In summary, if you use the word “like”more than once every 30 seconds, growup.
If you’re on the beach, use sunblock anddon’t make your dog do your workout. If youdon’t have a sense of humour, grow onequickly, and if you’re not nice to tollboothattendants, I hope I never meet you.

I WAS listening to a programme onthe radio last week where parentswere discussing their level of involvement in their children’s schoolwork.
The programme leader was quiteadamant that parents should especially be involved in their matriculant’s school activities.
“You should help him or her withprojects, assist with essays, helpmake notes for tests….”
I was shocked. In a very short timethe little angels will be entering tertiary institutions to “further their education” and you still want me tohelp with basic things which theyshould be able to do after 12 years atschool.
But this made me think of how independent (or not) we allow ourchildren to be. If we are too involved,we carry the tag of “helicopter parent” hovering and organising theirlives to the finest degree.
If we encourage their independence and expect that they stand ontheir own little (or rather large) feet,we are cruel and uncaring. So I’velooked at our household and whatwe do. I’ve seen my better half
spending hours with maths and science problems. And I’ve sat for justas many helping my daughters findthe perfect adjective to spruce upher essays.
I asked some friends what theydo. One confessed that she gets furious when her son comes home withpoor marks for one of “their” essaysand another who says assisting withproject research has helped her childthrough most of his school career.
I’ve seen parents reduce their children to tears, especially on the sportsfield. Big burly dads who stand nextto the rugby field and direct littleJohnny’s moves one by one.
Or the slightly hysterical motherwho berates her little darling whocouldn’t save a goal on the netballor hockey field. And then I’m not eventalking about gymnastics parents.
I’ve witnessed a few comingdown so hard on poor little Katy whofell off the balance beam in a competition that I just wanted to whipthe poor child away.
And next to the pool I’ve seenparents shout or even whistle out abeat that young Peter should follow– forget the fact that young Peter’shead is under water for most of therace. My mom used to say parentingdidn’t come with any user’s guide.
Each of us has to feel our way inthe maze that is our children’s world,and just hope for the best.

THE war on our highway trees is escalating. Every day, it seems, another giant is felled for no good reason, anotherrow of shade trees hacked down forsomebody’s private agenda.
The decimation of eight big indigenous trees by Caltex Garage on old mainroad, the more recent felling by Department of Transport on the island by theM13 exit into Hillcrest are just two examples. In a fasttransforming area likeHillcrest (and, very soon, Assagay)these big established trees are irreplaceable.
They provide vital shade and coolingin a time of increasingly vicious heatand tarification, they support wholecommunities of birds, insects and smallcreatures that contribute to the still richbiodiversity of our area. Our big birds ofprey like owls, kites, longcrested andcrowned eagles, gymnogenes andhamerkops depend on them for nestingsites – only big, tall trees with specificbranch patterns will do for their needs
(in the highway area this means mostlyold gums and pines), and our monkeypopulation relies on their fruit, flowersand leaves to survive.
Few people know that it is illegal tofell an indigenous tree on municipalland without permission.
But it needs to go much further thanthis — all remaining trees over a certaingirth and age should have protectedstatus as a matter of urgency, regardless of species. We’ve already lost toomany of our valuable longstanding giants. As for the rest, the rule should be— plant a replacement first, then fell.
So before you take your chainsaw tothat big old tree you’ve declared a nuisance for one reason or another, askyourself this — do you want to be livingin a treeless, birdless concrete wasteland like Durban’s infamous SydneyRoad? If not, stop chopping and startplanting.

Kuningi izwe eselidlule kukhonjengoba selilapha.
Kuwona lonyaka izwe lizobe ligubha iminyaka engama20 kusukela lakhululeka

Lonyaka usho lukhulu kuthina bendluemnyama, njengoba phambilini okhokhobethu babengaziwa nokuthi bangobanifuthi bephila impilo ehlukumezekile ngenxayokungabi namalungelo.
Akugcini nje lapho, lonyaka kuzobe kungowokuqala ngqa esigubha ngawo uSukulwamaLungelo ngaphandle kweqhawelethu uTata Nelson Mandela okunguye nabanye ozakwabo ababambe iqaza elikhuluekusiletheleni inkululeko.
