Thearmedsuspect thenshotHadebe in the back, fatallywounding him. The suspectsunsuccessfully tried to push the

vehicle onto the road and thenfled on foot. A resident saw thesuspects and contacted thepolice.

Within an hour of this inci-dent, police received anothercall about a shootingalongWattLane and when they arrived,found Bongani Mthethwa (37)lying on the side of the road.

Coffeeberrycappuccinobest in PMB

>> The idea of a cappuccino competition was born to raisethe standards of coffee in the province

COFFEEBERRY Cafe has reclaimed theaward forBest Cappuccino in thePieter-maritzburgandMidlandsareaattheSM/

Illovo Cafe Society competition.“Winning this award is a proud achieve-

ment for the entire Coffeeberry team who aredelighted to receive recognition for theirefforts. Our baristas, headed up by NombusoNtisnani,arepassionateandwell–versedintheart of producing the perfect cappuccino. But

without the support of the entire team ofmanagers, waiters and kitchen staff, thisachievement would not have been possible,”said owner Sue Malherbe.

The KZN Cafe Society was established bytwo coffee lovers, Ingrid Shelvin and RalphBronzin,14yearsagoandthe ideaofacappuc-cino competition was born to raise thestandards of coffee in the province.

With generous financial backing fromIllovo, over the years the competition hasachieved its goal, with some of the country’sbest coffee andmost talented baristas comingfrom KwaZulu–Natal.

Each year, a panel of mystery judges visitcoffee shops in Durban and the surroundingareas, South Coast and Pietermaritzburg andthe Midlands, in a quest to find the bestcappuccinos on offer. The top 100 establish-ments are then reviewed in a handy coffeeguidewhere the top 10 finalists inDurban, thetop five finalists on the SouthCoast and the topfive in Pietermaritzburg and the Midlands areannounced. Coffeeberry Cafe has been one ofthe many establishments that have benefittedfrom the KZN Cafe Society’s influence on localcoffee culture over the years.

“We received our first review from theirmystery judge only two days after opening ourdoors in 2005. The judge commented that thecoffee onday twoof opening alreadyproved tobe one of the better coffees in town and that ifthis was only the start, we were going to be asuccess,” said Malherbe.

Onlyin2007didCoffeeberrymakeitintothefinals and by 2009, had become seriouscontenders in the coffee scene when they wonthe Best Cappuccino award for the first time.Since then, they have been consistent top fivefinalists in the Cafe Society competition.

“Our success has been underpinned by thesupport thatwehavereceived fromoursuppli-er,BruceManning fromTribeca,whoprovidesongoing training along with technical andproduct support,” Malherbe said.– Supplied

THERE has been a lot of activity at theLiberty Midlands Mall during the currentupgrade to the entrances, the first phase ofwhich is set to be complete before thefestive season rush.

“Liberty Midlands Mall recognized thatimprovements needed to be made to theSanctuary Road entrance to the mall, in or-der to reduce the congestion that is some-times experienced at the entrance and exit

of the parking facilities,” said mall manager,Umi Khan.

The project involves an investment ofR4.2 million by the Liberty Group and willtake place in two phases.

Phase one is currently underway, and isaimed at redirecting the traffic flows in theparking area from the third entrancetowards the Dischem store side. Trafficmarkings, signs, curbs, bollards and trafficdirectional flows are being changed in orderto alleviate the bottleneck caused in that ar-ea.

“This phase will be completed in earlyDecember, barring any delays caused byexceptionally bad weather” said Khan.

The second phase will begin in mid–Jan-uary, and will be aimed at easing the trafficflow towards Chase Valley. This is expectedto be completed by April 2014.

“We have put traffic control in place,however we appeal to our shoppers toplease be patient whilst these improve-ments are made. We look forward to betterflowing traffic,” said Khan.

Along with the R380 million phase three

upgrade to the mall, set to begin in early2014, a new parking system will be intro-duced as well.

The decision to introduce paid parking atthe mall follows the trend in the Pietermar-itzburg area, and is in line with many majorcentres across the country.

There will be 20 minutes free parking toaccommodate those dropping in to thecentre to run a brief errand. Those who staylonger will have to pay the parking rates.There will be no differentiation between theopen and undercover parking.

“If we had that kind of money I would saylet’s do it. But we don’t,” said Lambert.

National Freedom Party (NFP) memberNtokozo Bhengu supported the event, but re-quested that the amount be adjusted.

Anypersonof16yearsorolder,andprovided they are mentally capable ofappreciating the nature and effect ofthe contents, may make a will.

If there is no will, and the value ofthe estate is more than R125 000, theMasteroftheHighCourtcouldconvenea meeting of family members in orderto appoint an executor, but in practise,othermethods of nominating an exec-utor are often used.

Duringthis time, theestate is frozenwhile it is being wound up, anddependant heirs may not have accessto funds during this time.

The Master may also require theexecutor to provide security. This will

usually taketheformofasecuritybondfor the value of the assets reflected inthe preliminary inventory.

Awill usually containsa clause spe-cifically nominating an executor andexempting the nominated executorfrom having to furnish security.

CONTINUINGwithmy theme of virii and other harmful software, I willbe looking at Trojan Horses this week.

Most of you are familiar with the story of the Trojan Horse, wherethe Greeks built awooden statue of a horse and presented it to the Tro-jans as a peace offering and a war trophy. Inside the horse, however,theyhadhiddena small groupof soldierswhounder the cover of night,slippedout of the statue andopened the gates for the rest of theGreeks,allowing them access to the city of Troy.

Trojan Horse Sofware follows the same path.Iit ismost often disguised as a normal programoffered to you freely,

butonceinstalleditcandegradetheintegrityofthesystemandthereforeallowmore harmful software to transfer over. Themost commoneffectof Trojans, however, is the installation of spyware and remote access/control applets. Trojans also do not classify as viruses (virii) due to thefact that theyarenot self–replicating,howeverasof2009,areresponsi-ble for over 80%ofmalware infectionsworldwide. This is due to a con-cept called botnets which I will discuss in next week’s article. Eventhough Trojans are not self–replicating, most infections are caused byothermalware,mostlycomputerworms,accessingandinstallingthem.Antivirus applications such asESETNOD32 can remove infections likethese before they get out of hand.

A GROUP of friends who have beenhiking the Pietermaritzburg andMidlands reserves for the past threeyears, are calling for Pietermaritz-burg residents to join them duringthe Mkhambathini Table Mountainhiking trail on 8 December.

The Mkhambathini TableMountain hiking trail takes aboutthree hours to complete.

One of the organizers, NhlakaMdunge, said that thehiking experi-ence will enable a more personalconnection with nature as there area lot of tourist attractions on site.

“We started hiking in 2010 andwe really enjoyed it. People’s livesare consumedwith stress and going

to Table Mountain once a year gaveusabreather, andsteeredouratten-tion away from everything andtowards nature. Busy schedulesmean that many people do not gettime for physical exercises so forthose people, webelievethathikingwill be an added, healthier activitywhich we hope they will continuedoing in the future.We really had an

amazing experience and this timearound,wewantthepublictobepartof this adventure,” said Mdunge.

Mdunge said that anotherobjective is to expose the public tobeautiful landmarks and touristattractions.

“If you stand right at the top ofTableMountain,youseethewholeofPietermaritzburg. The trail alsoenables site seeing of the MsinsiGame Reserve and Albert Falls.Therewill benomusic – onlyhikersand nature.”

Interested individuals or groupsare urged to bring their own sun-screen, water, hiking gear and sun-glasses.

“They should not forget to bringwith them a sense of humour,” saidMdunge with a laugh.

Connecting with nature through hiking

Hiking costs R100 per person andlunch will be served.

On December 8, transport willleave the City Hall parking lot at6am and people are encouragedto arrive on time.
