AZAAD is set in the colonial India of the 1920s with a story revolving around Govind played by Aaman Devgan, a young man with a love for horses. The story navigates through his life under the tyrannical British rule in India. It is a tale of rebellion, class oppression and a lot of slow moving drama. Govind’s village is controlled by a nasty zameendar (rich landowner) essayed by Piyush Mishra, who ships off the locals as slaves for the British. Enter rebel Vikram Singh (Ajay Devgn), who is a local hero fighting for freedom and to save the villagers. Aaman Devgan (nephew of Ajay Devgn) gives us his best. He can handle a dance number and makes a good attempt at action scenes, but his acting still needs a little…

IN Ayurvedic medicine, gut health is the cornerstone of health and well-being. Ayurveda emphasises the role of digestion and gut balance in maintaining health and preventing disease. As Hippocrates famously said: “All disease begins in the gut”, and modern research corroborates this by linking poor gut health to a wide range of chronic conditions such as diabetes, cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), gout, etc. Have you noticed how emotions like stress or nervousness manifest in your stomach rather than your brain? You may experience a loss of appetite during distress or the sensation of “butterflies” in the stomach when nervous, which are indications of the gut-brain axis at work. This intricate connection impacts digestion, metabolism, immunity and mood regulation, making a balanced gut microbiome essential for health…

The largest Hindu temple and cultural complex in the southern hemisphere is being built in Northriding, Johannesburg. A "dedication ceremony" to mark phase 1 of the development is expected to be held early next month. The project has been made possible by the BAPS Swaminarayan Sanstha – a spiritual, volunteer-driven organisation. According to BAPS spokesperson, Hemang Desai, the organisation is dedicated to improving society through individual growth by fostering Hindu values such as faith, service and global harmony. He said following the opening of the Middle East’s first ornately carved Hindu mandir in Abu Dhabi – unveiled by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi with the support of UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan – BAPS now turned its focus to South Africa. "The BAPS Hindu Mandir and Cultural…

RESIDENTS across eThekwini have been left frustrated with the lack of service delivery from the city’s parks, recreation and culture department, which has led to the deterioration of their communities. They say the lack of maintenance of road verges, open spaces, parks and sports grounds in their communities, was not only an eyesore, but had led to the safety of residents being compromised. Abdool Valodia, chairperson of the Overport Ratepayers Association, said the lack of maintenance was a long-standing issue, with residents expressing frustration over the years of neglect. “The common problems include overgrown grass and bushes, litter accumulation and unkempt verges that spill on to roads, making navigation difficult, and the lack of visibility could lead to potential accidents. “The condition of sports grounds and parks varies, but many…

AS I reflect on my journey through Tamil Nadu as part of the Reaching Your Roots Tour, my heart swells with gratitude and pride. This trip was not merely a vacation – it was a pilgrimage, a rediscovery of identity, and a celebration of heritage. It reaffirmed a truth that has always resonated deeply within me: you can take a Tamilian out of Tamil Nadu, but you cannot take Tamil out of a Tamilian. The sacred Sri Rangam: a spiritual haven One of the most profound moments of this journey was visiting Sri Rangam, a place that holds a special place in my heart. The Sri Ranganathaswamy Temple, with its majestic gopurams and intricate corridors, is more than a sacred space – it is a testament to Tamil Nadu’s spiritual…

DR PK Namboodiri, affectionately known as Acchan, father of global humanitarian Mohanji, was a founding member and the first president of Ammucare/ACT Foundation. He served with distinction for nine years from our inception in 2003. Acchan was the guiding force and the inspiration behind Ammucare’s seva platform. His vision and unwavering commitment laid the strong foundation for operational policies, guidelines, and values that continue to steer our work in service of humanity to this day.

In his later years, his intellectual pursuits flourished as he passionately translated numerous books, further enriching the spiritual and literary community. His life was a beacon of selfless service, compassion, and integrity – qualities that will forever remain an integral part of…

I THINK it is time that editors and media platforms make people understand that 30% is not a matric pass mark. It is embarrassing to listen in to discussions when far away from home, and expatriates trash our education system. In a nutshell, 30%, which people are chorusing about, “30% is not a pass mark; it has never been and will never be”, according to the Deputy Minister of Education Reginah Mhaule. Why 30% should not be considered a pass mark in education. If any candidate scored an aggregate of 30% in all subjects written, that candidate will not proceed to the next grade and will be regarded as failed. The NSC pass requirements for a Bachelor’s pass is that a candidate must obtain at least 40% in his or…

I THINK this column is going to resonate well with you parents. Children, for a considerable part of their young lives, are inherently quite pliant and can be easily influenced. In the aspect of lifestyles, they admire the trappings of wealth as paraded by “celebrities” on social media. One of the main ways these influencers do that is by flashing expensive name brands, be it clothing, watches or colognes. This reminds me very much of the plague of bitcoin “scumsters” who infiltrate social media. They strategically pose in front of their mansions or sit in a supercar. They are trying to bait you into “allowing” them to introduce you to their world, where you allegedly would be able to afford the luxuries that they supposedly can. Influence. Influence. Influence. That…

THE omnipresence of cellphones has transformed the way we communicate, access information, and entertain ourselves. However, the unsupervised use of these devices by teenagers poses significant challenges, particularly when it comes to exposure to inappropriate content such as pornography. The ease of accessing adult material on the internet, combined with the growing independence of teens, makes it crucial for parents to address this issue thoughtfully and effectively. Studies have shown that the average age at which children are first exposed to pornography is decreasing, often occurring during the pre-teen years. With smartphones providing unfiltered access to the internet, teens can easily stumble upon explicit content, even if unintentionally. Social media platforms, messaging apps, and web browsers can all serve as gateways to inappropriate material. Furthermore, peer pressure and curiosity during…

The summer fishing action is absolutely exploding right now, and shore anglers are reeling in some epic catches—including a ton of edibles! The drags are screaming up and down the coast, and the adrenaline is off the charts – you do NOT want to miss out on this. The North Coast is on fire with insane inedible catches! If you’re after a drag-busting thrill, Tugela and Mtunzini are your go-to spots – these areas are absolutely delivering the goods right now. Just a quick heads-up: always fish in groups here for safety, as there have been incidents before. For top-notch action, bloody baits like mackerel and bonito are the secret to success. And don’t think the edibles are slacking off – they’re making their presence felt along the coast, too!…

ALMOST three months after the “Go back to Bombay” slur was made during an eThekwini Municipality full council meeting, concerns have been raised about the lack of political will to address the matter. The comment was made while Yogis Govender, the DA’s chief whip in eThekwini, was addressing an item to rescind a council decision and approve funding for the 1860 indentured labourers monument in November last year. Govender told the POST this week that the DA in eThekwini had taken all the necessary steps in getting the city, more especially Thabani Nyawose, eThekwini Municipality's speaker, to act with some urgency to deal with the “ANC’s racist councillor”. “There is seemingly no political will to bring this person to justice, and to account for his gross misconduct and criminal behaviour.…

FOR Drushentha Govender, learning Tamil has not only brought her great achievement in her final year of school, but it has instilled in her strong morals and values. The 17-year-old, who matriculated from Merebank Secondary School last year, achieved 100% in Tamil, a second additional language in the 2024 National Senior Certificate examination. “While a lot of hard work and dedication went into achieving my mark, it was definitely my passion for the language and my culture that really pushed me to excel and achieve this 100%. “Tamil is not just a word or language, it is my mother tongue that has instilled so much of morals and values within me, as well as taught me discipline and respect. It has also taught me how to go about life,” she…

FOUR months after her son was shot and killed outside his home, Jennifer Naidoo, 47, of Longcroft, Phoenix, said his killers had not been found. Klinsmann Naidoo, 28, a father of one, was a construction businessman. “I got a call from his dad saying that Klinsmann had been shot when he entered the complex he had lived in and that I needed to come take him to the hospital. It was about 6.15pm on August 14, 2024. When I got there and saw him, there was no blood. I thought he was only shot once. I phoned for an ambulance. “I did not think that he was dead. I saw my cousin holding his chest. I called for him. I called his name. I did not know that he was…

“INDIA opens Kumbh Mela for 400 million pilgrims”, the POST, January 15-19, refers. It states that the event is held “at the site where the Ganges, Yamuna and mythical Saraswati rivers meet”. I have news for those who persist in viewing India through the lens of colonisers, (both from the Middle East and the West) plus denigrators and Marxist negationists. The Saraswati River is not “mythical”, it never was. In fact, it was very, very real. So called historians such as Romilla Tapar and Irfan Habib have been at the forefront of these purveyors of falsehood and manufactured history echoed repeatedly by the likes of Ebrahim Essa and his blood brothers. High-resolution satellite imagery and remote sensing techniques have identified dried river beds, paleochannels, and topographical features…

The time has come for the annual outcry among medical professionals. We always receive comments such as “doctors are not special – everyone is unemployed”, so let us break down what a lack of healthcare workers means for the country. After a gruelling high school experience, you are lucky enough to get accepted into a medical school. Personally, I can count the number of days on one hand where I took a day off from studying in matric. You study and work in government hospitals to gain the necessary skills to be a competent doctor. You then go on to internship and community service where you experience how short-staffed and resource-scarce the public hospitals really are. During my internship year, I experienced this first-hand. When you are on call, you…

THE problem of children accessing pornography on their mobile phones is rife, and the figures from research are deeply concerning. A study by the National Centre for Child Protection has revealed that 21% of children watched pornography daily while 59% of them watched it regularly. The unsupervised use of mobile phones played a significant role in the early sexualisation of children. Close to 5.2 million children have seen sexual images on mobile phones, and 20% might be addicted to pornography. Twenty-two percent of teen girls and 20% of boys have sent nude or semi-nude photos of themselves over the internet or their phones. These pictures seldom remain private, and often go viral or even end up on porn sites. The research also found that the first smartphone was received in…

A TEACHER is a beacon in the darkness and a hope that gives learners courage and strength to lead their lives. Teaching is a noble profession, and teachers are the source of knowledge and wisdom. We witnessed three Covid-19 waves in 2021, undaunted. Our teachers rose to the challenges under a mutating pandemic and educated our children. We must recognise that our teachers have given their hearts, minds and souls to nurture our children in the things that they saw as vital to their education, critical to their success and important to their future. There is a saying that teachers are greater than parents. Parent’s give birth to a child, whereas teachers mould the child’s personality and provide a brighter future. Now is the time to devote to teacher appreciation.…

THE unsupervised use of cellphones plays a significant role in the early sexualisation of children, and is a major contributing factor that leads to children watching pornography on a regular basis. This is according to a research study conducted by the National Centre for Child Protection, which included a survey with 400 000 children. The findings revealed that 21% of the children watched pornography everyday while 59% of them watched it regularly. The survey was conducted with children up to 17 years old. “The data used to compile these statistics was gathered through direct and personal engagement with children during educational school talks, as well as from reports, and communication via SMS, WhatsApp and phone calls to our Child Protection Hotlines and Counselling Hotline. “Additional information was obtained through interactions…

“Violence happens when we don’t know what to do with our suffering”. Throughout history, violence of any kind is often preceded by conditions of human torment through a protracted period of conducive festering. No act of violence happens without some degree of premeditation. This January marks 76 years since the horrific 1949 race riots in Durban. Sparked by a rather minuscule dispute that started in Grey Street (now Yusuf Dadoo), it spread into a reign of terror that saw an unspeakable pathos of human tragedy. Three days from January 13 to 16, 1949, saw Africans and Indians, who lived peacefully together for close to 90 years prior, debauch themselves into an abyss of psychological trauma that still lingers today. The statistics of the ensuing carnage saw 142 deaths with 1…

Liverpool boss Arne Slot has challenged Darwin Nunez to prove he is an elite striker as the much-maligned Uruguayan looks to take advantage of Diogo Jota’s latest injury. Slot revealed on Monday that Jota will be sidelined for a few weeks after suffering a muscle injury in Liverpool's draw at Nottingham Forest on January 14. The Portugal forward’s absence has provided another opportunity for Nunez to finally prove his worth, starting with Tuesday's Champions League tie against French team Lille at Anfield. Nunez has struggled to win over both Slot and his predecessor Jurgen Klopp since signing from Benfica for a fee rising to a potential £85 million in 2022. The 25-year-old gave a glimpse of his potency with the stoppage-time double that fired Liverpool to a dramatic 2-0 win…

Kangana Ranaut excels in her role as assassinated Indian prime minister Indira Gandhi, who sparked the Emergency of the title by getting tens of thousands of political opponents, including opposition party leaders, arrested and tortured, forcing vasectomies on men to curb the burgeoning population; and other measures. But in her directorial debut, and as co-producer, despite declaring at the start of the movie that there had been some cinematic licence taken with the script, there are too many gaps in the life of the iconic dynastic leader and only selected snatches of her political and personal life. Perhaps because of the many communal sensitivities shown in the film, albeit that they were real-life incidents, the release of the film was delayed for almost six months by the censors amid calls…

NEW DELHI: Worried about overeating? Blame the hippocampus – part of the brain responsible for learning and memory – as it may be behind your food craving, according to a study. The study, published in the journal Nature Metabolism, showed that neurons in the hippocampus are encoding memories of sugar and fat. This memory system is shaping feeding behaviour and metabolic health. Guillaume de Lartigue, from Monell Chemical Senses Center – an independent non-profit research institute in Pennsylvania, US – identified, for the first time, the brain’s food-specific memory system and its direct role in overeating and diet-induced obesity. “In today’s world, we are constantly bombarded with advertisements and environmental triggers designed to remind us of pleasurable food experiences,” said De Lartigue. “What’s surprising is that we’ve pinpointed a specific…

1 tbs vegetable oil 1 finely chopped onion 1 pack of roasting vegetables (butternut, cauliflower, baby marrow and pepper) 400ml coconut milk 300g chicken breast (or any protein) 2 tbs soy sauce 1-2 tbs brown sugar salt and pepper to taste 2-3 fresh green onions (chopped, for garnish) 1-2 fresh Thai red chillies (sliced, optional, for garnish) 3 tbs red curry paste In a bowl, combine the chicken with the soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of crushed garlic and 1 teaspoon of grated ginger. Let the chicken marinate for 15 to 20 minutes. Heat the oil in a large pan or wok. Add the chicken to the pan in a single layer. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, turning occasionally until the chicken is cooked. Remove the chicken from the pan.…

In a bowl, combine the tomatoes, thyme, a sprig of curry leaves, the…

THE father of slain businessman, Shailen Singh, said the claims that his son’s murder was related to a “love relationship” with the girlfriend of one of his alleged killers, was not new. Singh’s father, Pradeep Singh, told the POST they had been aware of the relationship. “I knew of the relationship between my son and this said woman. It happened a few years ago. It was before he got married. “My son brought it to my attention, and told me that he was being threatened, and even our family. He had even told me, ‘Dad, be careful’. However, it is devastating that my son’s life was taken because of this. Nobody has the right to take anybody’s life over an issue. Nobody has the right to play God. If there…

THE recent case of Mozambican Moises Armando Mate, who was convicted of child trafficking between South Africa and Mozambique on multiple counts, refers. It is both shocking and unbelievable that the presiding officer meted out a suspended sentence of just a short duration in this heinous issue. Human trafficking is a serious crime and must be punished by an appropriate and commensurate severe sentence. As I said before, suspended sentences only benefit the perpetrator. Such sentences are sometimes freely handed down by presiding officers (judges and magistrates) and this disturbing trend needs to cease. The ridiculous sentence must urgently be reviewed or appealed by the National Prosecuting Authority. In addition, child protection and human rights organisations must exert pressure on the authorities to ensure that this travesty of justice is…

THE recent announcement of the 2024 matric results has been met with widespread acclaim, with the Department of Education touting an impressive pass rate. However, a closer examination reveals a troubling reality that undermines this apparent success. Of the 1.22 million learners who began Grade 1 in 2013, only about 740 000 sat for the matric exams in 2024. This means that approximately 480 000 students – nearly 40% of the original cohort – were lost along the way. The department’s focus on the pass rate of those who wrote the exams conveniently ignores this significant attrition, painting a misleading picture of the education system’s effectiveness. Furthermore, while the department celebrates the number of Bachelor passes, the stark reality is that only a fraction of these learners will make it…

TO ALL the matriculants who burned the midnight oil, your dedication has paid off and earned you a well-deserved celebration. We now need to fully support them as they enter the next critical phase in their lives. I am sure all POST readers would like to extend their sincere congratulations to those who have achieved success. Take a bow. May your future be bright, your path be guided and your dreams within reach. Remember that your matric results are just the beginning of an exciting journey. The KwaZulu-Natal Department of Education celebrated the outstanding achievements of the matric class with an impressive 89.5% pass rate. Among the stand out achievements was Caden Govender and Jia Patel, who both plan to study actuarial science. Well done in flying the flag…

ISRAELI Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is a very satisfied man. He has accomplished his mission which he set out 15 months ago: to level Gaza to the ground, cripple Hamas and send 50 000 innocent men, women and children to their graves. Even though he has the blood of 50 000 Palestinians on his hand, he does not blink an eyelid and sleeps soundly at night. Both Vladimir Putin and Netanyahu have been declared war criminals by the ICC. An international warrant of arrest has been issued for them. But this does not bother Netanyahu. He has plenty of friends in the West who will protect him. Posters with his picture have gone up in Birmingham, London and elsewhere. By defeating Hamas, he has done the dirty work for the…

THE sister of slain former councillor, Sunil Brijmohan, 46, last week testified in court about the toxic relationship he had shared with his then 19-year-old son. In the Durban High Court, on Friday, Natisha Brijmohan was called as a State witness in the trial of the four men accused of killing her brother, comprising his best friend and business partner, Vikash Brian Sewnath, 46, Vernon Chetty, 26, Farah Moosa, 25, and Sibusiso Ngcobo, 26. Brijmohan, a businessman, was gunned down outside a construction site in Cato Crest in Amanzimtoti, on October 21, 2022. Natisha said in the year of Brijmohan’s death, the relationship between the father and son had “started to change”. “My nephew had always been respectable, and a loving child up until he was in matric. When he…

DESPITE the shocking findings by the National Centre for Child Protection, some parents are adamant that their children are being properly monitored on their electronic devices. Shalom Linken, a father of a 14-year-old from Chatsworth, said he was paranoid about his daughter owning a cellphone due to paedophiles that lurked online. He said he allowed her to have a cellphone but monitored her usage. “I monitor her cellphone usage through Google and her account is registered under my account so I can monitor what apps are being downloaded and what content is being viewed. I haven't found any content that is inappropriate as yet but still I monitor the usage closely. “If I ever found improper content being watched or searched, I would immediately take the phone away and explain…
