New Germany Central
New Germany Property Value Decreases Integration Newbury road where 25 flats /white house were build Berkshire road signaling the Increases beginning of ‘Buffer Strip’ ‘The World’ Integration 1 Regarding the perimeters of New Germany, respondents mentioned that Berkshire road separates New Germany and Claremont (Township). Berkshire, Habborth and Rose roads, which appear outside of the community boundaries in the map above are also considered as part of New Germany by residents. The map does not cover the industrial area which includes New Germany Primary School. When asked about the map, one respondent stated that “boundaries are changed over time”. The information gathered from all interviews show that people have their own impressions of what New Germany is and where its boundaries lie. In general, people define a place as part of New Germany if it utilizes most of the services offered in New Germany. HISTORY New Germany was developed by German settlers. According to some respondents, New Germany was started by Reverend Posselt when he launched a Lutheran Church missionary in the area in 1848. Nevertheless, other sources suggest that New Germany was founded by Jonas Bergtheil around the same time. The settlers were mostly impoverished Germans who just arrived looking for jobs since conditions were difficult in Germany. These settlers bought the land to plant cotton but later used it for vegetables as it was not suitable for cotton. New Germany was later bought for use as a golf course estate. As time progressed, houses were developed on that land and the area then became an entry point into the housing market for many white people. -

This brings me to the controversial topic of walking /hiking with the aid of a walking stick or hiking poles. A lot of folk say it is not necessary, but at times using a walking stick makes sense. Let us look at walking sticks vs. hiking poles. Walking sticks are used individually, usually made from wood, decorated in some fashion showing its origin. Best used on flat terrain, but it is also good for support on uneven terrain, crossing water and when ascending or descending hills. The disadvantage is that one tends to overly lean to one side, which may cause a stumble or fall on terrain that is not flat. So, when using a walking stick, use it with the least amount of load on it. Hiking poles are usually designed in pairs, but can be used as a single pole. They have adjustable length and can be altered depending on the terrain. They usually have straps, but can be hazardous when falling- best not to use the straps. Hiking poles take pressure off the knees during steep descents, give extra security and grip. Because of their adjustability, for ascents length is reduced, for descents they can be lengthened. -

Herewith a review of the more significant ones. Last year we started a program of training Community Members to take over most of Rotarys’ work in the Township. Here are the key staff of our main Social Development agent, the Ethembeni Community Crisis Centre. On the left is the Manager, Abegail Mbongwa, behind her, (looks as if he had had a few ‘Red Bulls’) is her husband, Phineas. On the extreme right is the Projects Manager, Sithembiso Duma &, in front of him, in the white shirt, is the Admin clerk, Vuyo. They are now doing over half the work previously done by Rotarians. Getting around in a Township is very difficult. Very few have cars & they use Taxis (expensive & irregular) or walk (huge distances). One of our ‘Rotary Trusts’ recently donated half the cost of a car in order to alleviate the situation. The Department of Social Development is funding the other half of this car. Here Phineas & Vuyo admire it. This car increases Ethembenis’ effectiveness & saves money. A major use is collecting tons a month of surplus foodstuffs from PicknPay, a local, large, supermarket. This food is distributed to our huge network of the needy. About 10 years ago, the Rotary Club of Wellingborough-Hatton, England, funded a Matching Grant to extend the Zamani Creche & Pre-school. -

Hillcrest and Its Contribution to Natal Education
55 Hillcrest and its contribution to Natal Education The town of Hillcrest, with an official population in 1985 of 5291,' a borough register in 1987 of 1 345 properties and an estimated municipal expenditure in 1987-88 of approximately R1 million,2 lies amid the hills, thirty five kilometres west of Durban, on the old main road to Pietermaritzburg. Many of its residents commute daily to the multifarious enterprises of the Pinetown-Durban conurbation. Hillcrest has enjoyed town status only since 1971 and the older inhabitants, who once retired to the country, recall nostalgically the village days, when no traffic lights were necessary and when a single store served the needs of the entire community. Even among these senior citizens, however, are few who can remember the days when Hill Crest (as it was originally written) had as many as five schools and made a significant if small contribution to education in Natal. The Hillcrest railway station was (in times pre-metric) recorded as being 2 225 ft above sea-IeveJ.3 The climate, therefore, is temperate and less taxing, especially at midsummer, than the humidity of the coast. The entire region, furthermore, is well watered, with numerous streams draining in the north to the Umgeni and in the south to the Umhlatuzana, which rises a few kilometres north-west of Hillcrest, behind the eminence known as Botha's Hill. Many farm names in the area (Sterkspruit, LangeJontein, BuJfelJjontein) attest to the abundance of water, which is supplemented by characteristic seasonal mists, keeping the hills green even in the grip of winter.
