‘Eggciting’ Easter givingKiller dogsRUN WILD>> Hunters ‘have no fear’ of law enforcement
ROWAN PHILP
DOG hunting has outgrown thecountryside in KwaZulu-Natal,and is edg-
ing into the sub-urbs.
The illegal gam-bling hunts —where dozens ofhunters on foot usetrained dogs to beton small antelopekills — have grownso fast in the pastyear that the com-munity safety network SACAN thisweek launched a campaign to buy ahelicopter specifically to track the syn-dicates. Hotspots identified by theKZN Endangered Wildlife Trust in-
clude Howick, Cato Ridge, Estcourt,and Bulwer, which, on its own, nowhosts half-a-dozen hunts every week.
But in Shongweni alone last week,hunts were report-ed in the cane fieldsnear Hillcrest,along a main arteryto Assagay, andeven affected theelite SummerveldEquestrian Centre.Onewildlife field of-ficer, SamsonPhakati — a formerhunter himself —
said the sport was moving closer tothe N3 highway because small gamehad been decimated in the country-side, and organised hunters “have nofear of law enforcement”.

FOUR men who lived bythe gun died in a hail ofpolice gunfire near the
Upper Highway area, after adesperate two-week crimespree.
LastWednesdaynight, fivemen travelling in a dark VWGolf crashed into a private ve-hicle on Richmond Road inMariannhill — according tolocal neighbourhood watchpatrollers—inadramaticendtoahigh-speedchasewithpo-lice from Malvern. Foursprang from the car and allfour allegedly opened fire onMalvern crime prevention of-ficers with handguns. All fourwere shot dead by police,whilethefifthsuspectescapedon foot.
The Fever has linked themen to at least three houserobberies in Mariannhillalone this month, which sug-gests the men were increas-ingly desperate to switch carsand cash in.
Justin Bosse, head of theAshley Residents Neighbour-hoodWatch, saida resident ofGreenLane arrivedhometwoweeks ago to find his sonwithhishandsintheair—andfourarmed men holding them up.Their dark VW Golf wasparked outside.
On Monday night, fouryoungmeninadarkVWdrove
straight into Chandra Goven-der’s private garage at hishome in Nagina,Mariannhill.The car had an Eastern Caperegistration. Govender hadleft his gates and doors open,expecting a delivery from hisnephew.
Govender said the menwalked into the house andforced the family to sit on thefloor in a bedroom, as theypacked Govender’s ToyotaHiluxwithhouseholdgoods—even the kettle.
“They threatened us withguns; it was awful — mygrandson was there,” saidGovender.
“I’ve never experiencedanything like this in 15 yearshere. They packed allmy stuffin my van, and took the keysfrom my pocket. They tookjewellery,cash, thehi-fi,a lap-top, a kettle and the micro-wave oven.”
Govender said he was“shocked” to learn the samemenarebelieved tohave firedonpolice twonights later. “Wewere very lucky,” he said.
The Netstar tracking com-pany was able to track theHilux on a winding routethrough Wyebank and other
Highway suburbs to apoint inKwaDabeka, where the rob-bers abandoned it.
But later on Tuesday,armed men matching theirprecise description—drivinga dark VW with EC numberplates—attemptedahijackata private home in Pineridge,according to Bosse.
One night later, at around7.30pm, Malvern police no-ticed “a suspicious-lookingblack VW Golf”, which fledwhen they signalled for it tohalt, according to policespokesperson Captain Thu-lani Zwane.
The chase towardMarian-nhill led to the fatal shoot-out.
“Four unlicenced firearmswere found at the scene andwill be taken for ballistic teststo establish if they were usedin any other crimes in thecountry,” said Zwane. “TheIndependentPolice Investiga-tiveDirectoratewas informedof the death of the suspectsandwere in attendance at thescene.”
KZN SAPS commissionerLieutenant-General Mma-monnyeNgobenisaidshewas“concerned” with the brazenattack on police officers.

THIS will be the first in a series on littleknown organs. Dogs and cats have exactly the same organs as humans anything we can do, they can do better.
However, the pattern of disease doesvary between species. The pancreas isone such ‘mysterious organ’.
A pale white, fleshy, knobbly, soft organ lying in the right upper abdomen,it lies alongside the first portion of thesmall bowel (as it joins the stomach).
The pancreas has two main functions to secrete digestive enzymes liketrypsin and lipase, into the bowel, whenfood arrives there from the stomach;and to produce hormones like insulin,which are released into the bloodstream when the blood glucose levelsstart rising (eg, from a meal being digested). Inflammation of the pancreas iscalled PANCREATITIS.
Pancreatitis is a relatively common
‘gastrointestinal’ disease in dogs, andpossibly also in cats.
It is very serious. Firstly, it can looklike a bad or a lowgrade, chronic gastro.Secondly, it can be tricky to diagnose some blood tests miss up to 50% ofcases.
Thirdly, it can be lifethreatening,sometimes very quickly.
There is controversy over whether ornot cortisone therapy triggers pancreati
tis, but most patients with this conditionend up in hospital for 4 21 days, sometimes with huge bills (>R20,000) andlongterm complications.
An unrelated condition is EPI (exocrine pancreatitic insufficiency), seen inGerman Shepherds and collies, wherethe pancreas doesn't produce digestiveenzymes; dogs are thin and have diarrhoea, and need special diets and enzyme supplements for life.
Journey to the ‘mysterious organ’ the pancreas
court and Pirate’s Cove for kids to find can be exchanged for Easter eggs – so there will be no disappointment.
There will be three tokens of different colourswhich can then be redeemed for three deliciouschocolate eggs for little ones to enjoy.
Registration for the Easter egg hunt starts at8am on 19 April, with the actual hunt beginning at9am, so shoppers are urged to get to the centreearly to scout out hiding places before the hunt begins. In addition, Hillcrest Corner has loads more funin store for shoppers. There will be a DJ playingvibey music all day, as well as a full kiddies’ cornerwith a jumping castle, face painters and more!
For further information, contact Hillcrest CornerCentre Management.
THE hunt is on. This Easter, the bunny will be hidingcoloured tokens around Hillcrest Corner in the earlyhours of Saturday 19 April, and then hopping off tohis next destination before anyone spots him.
But never fear, the tokens he hides in the food
It’s Easter time at Hillcrest Corner

Meanwhile, SA CAN — whichhasbeenasked to serveas theemergency control centre for
doghuntingbytheTrust—isnowgear-ing up for an “illegal hunting festival”over the Easter weekend, which “weknow”will includeat leastoneco-ordi-nated event of up to 150 hunters and70dogs.Twohelicopterswillbeplacedon stand-by for the longweekend, anda co-ordination project has beenlaunched with SAPS clusters.
SA CAN co-founder Brian Jonessaid there were indications that theearly morning blood sport was the“sport of choice” forhijackersandoth-erorganisedcriminals—andallegedlyeven for some law enforcement offi-cials as well.
Ian Little, manager of the Trust’sGrassland Species Programme, saidreedbuckandduikerwere still the pri-mary targets, but that the small Oribiantelopepopulationhaddippedbelow2 000 in KwaZulu-Natal, and was di-rectly threatenedby thephenomenon.
He said packs included variousbreeds to “flush out” small game andhighly trained greyhounds to chasethemdown—andthenripthemapart.
Little said, “The hunters are ap-
proaching the suburbanareasnow, sowhat can be said is that they are hap-pening everywhere now.”
He saidhunters gatheredat privatefarms eitherwhen farmers had left forchurch,orwhen they’dbeen tippedoffthat land owners were away.
Engineer Dave Leslie — who ownsa smallholding in Shongweni — saidhuntingdogshadkilled11ofhis12os-triches in separate incidents, and thatthe remaining bird was attacked thismonth. “I watched a group movingtheirdogsintothecanefieldsthisweek— they’re totally brazen, and a men-ace,” said Leslie.
“Youoftenseebakkiespackedfullofdogs at gas stations. You used to seesmallantelope,porcupines,allsortsallover theplace in this area; now there’snothing—thesehunters are abig partof the reason.”
CheriCooke, inspectoratemanagerof the Kloof SPCA, said dog hunting“has become a major problem — it’shappening every day”.
She said pointers andbeagleswere
also being bred for hunts, and weretypically mistreated.
“The other day, I saw a duiker raceoutofthebushovertheroad,witheightdogs and a group of guys after it. Iscreamed at them, but they didn’tcare,” she said.
In a yet-to-be aired TV documenta-ry, film-maker Phillip Lennon foundthat one pack of hunting dogs had ac-cessed a sheep enclosure on a KZNMidlands farmandkilled123 sheep ina single blood frenzy.
One dog hunter candidly admittedthat the raids were done “for leisure”and to combat “boredom”. “I amnot athief—insteadofstealingintopeople’shomes, I go up the hill and hunt.”
H.T. Zuma, a councillor at Impend-le, openly told Lennon that, “Wewakeup in the mornings at 4 am and go tothe farms while the land owner issleeping, and then there is hunting.”
But Zuma said he disapproved of“taxi hunts”, in which some taxi own-ers transport dozens of people formassed pursuits— “that is not sport”.

YOU! Yes, you, gentle read-er, can be all you everwanted to be and have all
you have ever desired. Can I geta YES?
Sound familiar? It should. It’sthe generalmantra - inone formor another - that is ejaculated byself-proclaimed motivationalspeakers on a near daily basis atseminars, webinars, throughpodcasts and in gazillions ofbooks, leaflets and self-pub-lished e-books.
I have touched on the multi-billion dollar self-help industrybefore, briefly, but for purposesof today’s rant, I have chosen tofocus on The MotivationalSpeaker, that ubiquitous crea-ture that has nested in govern-ment, the private sector, educa-tional institutions and mediaand continues to empty its bow-els on our heads in order to offerinspiration.
It is themessage flowing fromThe Motivational Speaker, lifecoach and consultant, under theself-help umbrella, that societytoday isbeingencouragedtoem-braceas if itwereacuddlybunnyhopping through green pas-
tures, spreading love, peace andfortune with its magic bunnywand.
The purpose of The Motiva-tional Speaker, we are told, is tomotivate people. We will agreethat this isnot rocketscience, forwhich, incidentally, one actuallyneeds talent.
Granted, it would be unfair topaint all with this brush, so letus stick to the unscrupulous fewwho make money by telling usthat we simply aren’t goodenough, and that for X amount,we can be so much better.
Today’smotivationalspeaker,if he or she has reached the pin-nacleofhisorhergame, ispossi-bly a wily creature who knowsthatmoneycanbemadeandglo-ry attained by sexing-up com-mon sense.
Pepper this sexed-up com-monsense with a concocted callforhumility, togetherwithanon-offensivemoral stance, and youhavecorporate clownsandwan-nabe success-stories every-where sprinting to harness themysteriesoftheuniverseinanef-fort togetricher, faster, stronger,better…or finally have someonekiss their arse for a change.
For those of you born circa1980, common sense is a rarequality that you probably lack.Fortunately, the blame cannotentirely be placed on your bril-liant youngshoulders; given thatyou are being force-fed a steadystreamof excrement fromprevi-ous generations who are not
quite motivated enough to facetheir own failures.Youhavenowbecome our path to redemption,or so you keep on telling us.
It is on the Internet where wewill find a seemingly endlessstreamof gushing aboutmotiva-tional speaking (closeon 11mil-lion, actually) which appears tobe the choice career for thosewhoexcel inpublicspeakingandnot much else.
Sadly, this does not perturbmany, who are so desperatelyseeking some unattainable formofhopeandacceptance thattheyare willing to listen to oratorswithlimitedlifeexperiencewhenit comes to things like love, hap-piness and money.
Now, common sense tells usthat common sense is lacking ifwe are happy to fork out largeamounts ofmoney to learn howto save money. Common sensetells us that if we want to savemoneyat theendofeachmonth,weneedtospendlessthroughoutthe month.
Common sense tells us that ifwe want to lose weight, weshould eat right andmovemore.That a simple concept such assaving money or losing weight –both big on the agenda of The
Motivational Speaker - can leadto a 200 page best seller, shouldbe enough to elicit a face-palmreaction from most of us.
Common sense tells us that ifwe haveabook-shelfthatresem-bles an orgy of self-help litera-ture,weare either notwilling toputthemessageintoactionorthemessage is crap.
And finally, common sensetells us that being more intelli-gent, more beautiful, more per-sonally and professionally ac-cepted, richer, stronger or fasterwill not necessarilymeanwearehappy. Happiness cannot betaughtin10easysteps; it isafick-le emotion that flows and ebbswith circumstance. Content-ment,ontheotherhand,issome-thing altogether achievable.
If however, being content isnot sexyenough for you, feel freeto send a donation of R3000 tomy personal bank account. I willthen eagerly divulge - using per-fect pitch and appropriateamounts of facial animation -how to capture the cuddlybunnyof success, hopping throughgreen pastures, spreading love,peaceandfortunewith itsmagicbunny wand.
PACKING for a weekend away is an arduous task.Packing for a longer trip is a nightmare. Packing foran overseas holiday, when you have luggage weightand contraband items to consider, is hell.
It is my fervent wish that airlines would come toaconsensusas tohowmanykilogramsofone’spara-phernalia they will accommodate. Embarking on ajourney involving multiple airlines and multipleweight limits involves either wasted space on oneflightorexcessbaggagechargesontheother,neitherof which appeal to me in any way, shape or form.
Nail files are one item not allowed in cabin lug-gage,andIhaveneverbeenquitesurewhy.Anypilotworthhissaltwouldsurely laughatapassengerwhostormed into thecockpitwieldinganail filedemand-ing that the plane be flown to and crashed into thesouthern Indian Ocean.
I’m a typical girl when it comes to packing. I havetowork hard at persuadingmyself that, in the dura-tion of a two-week holiday, I will not require 20 cutelittle dresses, five pairs of pumps, three pairs of san-dals and the hat I wore to a Mexican birthday partytwo weeks ago. My suitcase gets packed, repackedandrepackedagainuntilitisfulltothebrim,andeventhenIhaveinevitablyforgottensomethingofvitalim-portance,likesocks,deodorant,contactlenssolutionor God forbid, my iPod.
Whenever I boardan international flight, I am in-evitably seatednext to oneof the following:Apersonwith a girth exceeding 200kg, a woman travellingwith a colicky baby or a person bearing excessivebodyodour,whowishes toconverseabout theirhob-by of stamp collecting.
Certain international airports carry out “randomexplosive tests”, where passengers are pulled asideatrandomandhavetheirhandluggageinspectedforbombs and other such contraband, just in case theyshould turn out to be an Osama bin Laden loyalist.
Every time, without fail, that I am in one of theseairports, I am singled out for scrutiny. My blond-haired blue-eyed visage clearly reeked of terrorismlong before Samantha Lewthwaite popularised thenotion of the white girl as terrorist.
