KYMBERLEE FERNANDES

The proposed changes to the Foundation Studies and English courses at Manukau Institute of Technology (MIT) might result in the loss of over a dozen jobs. It has the community worried and the Tertiary Education Union (TEU) is determined to help the lecturers that will be impacted. MIT says the main reason for this move is the decline in demand for these courses. The polytechnic cites the drop in demand to a buoyant labour market where people tend to choose employment over study. TEU organiser Chan Dixon says she doesn’t see any evidence of that in the South Auckland community. It still has a ‘‘higher than the national average statistics in joblessness, poverty, and formal training,’’ she notes. MIT chief executive Gus Gilmore says the institute is ‘‘not ending the delivery of its Foun- dation level courses. We are pro- posing a different approach. ‘‘Foundation courses will be embedded across numerous facul- ties, such as nursing and engin- eering, to support a better transition into higher level qualifications‘‘. ‘‘We are mindful of the impact that these changes will have on The Manukau Campus of MIT.

JARRED WILLIAMSON

A large trench is taking shape on one part of Auckland’s motorway network, comprising part of a $100 million project. The stretch of State Highway 20a is unique for the city as it runs through the middle of the Mangere community, intersecting with local traffic. However, NZ Transport Agency highway manager Brett Gliddon says that will change as of next year. Manukau Courier was given a tour of the project this month which is at full steam to com- pletion in 2017. ‘‘It’s great for commuters to the airport and local commuters. It takes the state highway traffic out of the local traffic,’’ Gliddon says. ‘‘For local traffic it will provide better connections to the communities on either side.’’ Gliddon says once complete, the motorway will flow uninter- rupted underneath Kirkbride Road and through to Landing Drive. The intersection at Montgomerie Drive will be removed as part of the project, he says. Traffic will instead head around to Landing Drive or Kirkbride Road. Temporary struts keep the trench from caving in as workers continue to dig. They will be replaced by permanent struts.

CHRIS HARROWELL

‘‘Just awesome’’ is Internal Affairs Minister Peter Dunne’s assessment of New Zealand’s first purpose-built whitewater park. Dunne got out of his comfort zone and into a raft to tackle the rapids at the $40 million Vector Wero Whitewater Park in Manu- kau on November 18. As the Minister responsible for the Fire Service, he also took the opportunity to watch the facility’s river safety guides demonstrate a range of swift-water rescue techniques taught to emergency services. He was joined in the raft by people including his private secretary Adrian Portis, Second Nature Charitable Trust chair- man Sir Noel Robinson, and Wero manager, Kiwi Olympic kayaking champion Ian Ferguson. Dunne became the first Gov- ernment Minister to take on the facility’s powerful grade 3-4 ‘river rush’ course and also experienced the ‘pump waterfall’ with its 4.5-metre drop. ‘‘The whole thing was fantastic,’’ he says. ’’I’ve never done anything like this before so it was a whole new experience. ‘‘It was over before it began.

Confusing signage and conflicting messages over what bus stops two South Auckland buses use appears to be resolved. University student, and regular commuter, Clayton Brown- ing was frustrated at his bus using two different platforms at the Manurewa Interchange. Browning catches the 361 service, from Manurewa to MIT Otara via Manukau. According to signage and brochures the service should use stop B. But Browning says that where the confusion began after the new network launched on October 30. ‘‘Some bus drivers were told to use stop A by their depot, so you’d have some buses stopping across the road. But others were ada- mant they had to use the original stop,’’ he says. ‘‘The AT ambassadors were confusing, as they told the bus drivers to use the original stop as well.’’ Browning and other passengers were never sure which stop the bus would arrive at, he says. Making matters worse was the signage, including the electronic information board, telling passengers on the 361 and 363 Clayton Browning stands at stop A, the correct bus stop his 361 service should use.

NICOLE LAWTON

Branches from a tree which fell in Auckland’s Cornwall Park crushing cars and injuring an eld- erly woman are being donated to Auckland Zoo. The zoo’s giraffes will receive the harvested branches from the 130-year-old poplar tree as a tasty treat. ‘‘They’ll gorge themselves on this stuff ... They’ll strip all the leaves and the bark and quite often they’ll spend all night eating it,’’ says Greg Gardner of the Auckland Zoo’s horticultural team. ‘‘It’s a deciduous tree, so in other words, the leaves are fresh. In winter they have to eat evergreens, so now that we’re coming into summer we feed them deciduous and they love it. It’s enrichment for them.

BROOKE BATH

An Auckland Imam who made anti-Semitic speeches says he deserves an apology after copping a storm of backlash. Dr Mohammad Anwar Sahib, a religious advisor for a body of the Federation of Islamic Association New Zealand, made a controversial speech in November at the At-Taqwa mosque in Manukau. ‘‘The Christians are using the Jews, and the Jews are using everybody,’’ Sahib said in the speech. ‘‘Because they think that their protocol is to rule the entire world....’’ Race Relations Commissioner Dame Susan Devoy, Ethnic Com- munities Minister Hon Peseta Sam Lotu-Iiga and the NZ Jewish Council have condemned Sahib’s comments. But Sahib has now hit back, saying he does ‘‘not hate any human being regardless of their faith, place of origin, race, colour and political affiliation’’. ‘‘Sadly and falsely, I have been accused of giving hate speeches and being anti-Semitic,’’ he said. ’’I have always preached for peace and harmony in the society.’’ He claims the ‘‘cut and paste’’ video that surfaced on YouTube was taken out of context. ‘‘Those who have watched all South Aucklanders Mohammed Afiz, Dr Shaykh Mohammad Anwar Sahib, and Muntazeem Faiyaz Khan, are sending goods to victims of Cyclone Winston in Fiji. the complete videos will find that I have not at all incited any hatred believe in what they want.
