gives the gift of life
this Christmas
It is a Christmas present that will make a difference in the lives of people who need this
precious gift. Lotus Park resident, Ricky Chetty, donated 250 pints of blood on his 250th
occasion of donating blood to the South African National Blood Service (SANBS). This
precious gift will make a huge difference in the lives of strangers who really need blood.
His biggest motivation is knowing that he can give someone the gift of life without ex-
pecting anything in return. The 61-year-old donates blood once every two weeks and he
has been doing this kind and giving gesture for the past 40 years of his life. Chetty is en-
couraging others to also donate blood as this selfless and life-saving act can save many
people’s lives. Chetty joins the staff and management of the Rising Sun Newspapers in
wishing our loyal readers and advertisers a safe and blessed Christmas and a Happy New
Year.

and love to each other
Merebank couple, Dhanpal and Regina Kistiah, are looking
forward to celebrating their 47th wedding anniversary on Tues-
day, December 22. The pair tied the knot with a beautiful cer-
emony at a local church on December 22 in 1973.
The couple is still going strong after all of these years and they
are looking forward to celebrating their perfect love story with
their children and grandchildren. They are planning a small

awaiting their big ‘50’, golden anniversary in 2023.
The lovebirds, who retired in their 60s, enjoy cooking and host-
ing their family members. They have two beautiful daughters,
Lucille Kistiah and Olive Naidoo and a wonderful son-in-law,
Rivern. They have two amazing grandchildren, Lavaran, 17,
and Thachaya, 11. “We have been blessed to have two beauti-
ful and talented grandchildren,” they beamed.
Close family friend and media personality, Marlan Padayachee,
recalled that the couple has always been inseparable, romantic
and enjoyed listening to music. “Early in their relationship and
in their marriage, they were always together, travelling to and
from work and doing socials together. Nowadays, they enjoy
spending time at the casino. They also enjoy sending sweet
messages and song requests for golden oldie music from the
1980s to Byron David on the Lotus Lounge music show on
Lotus FM,” said Padayachee.

Kamalinee Primary achievers awarded for
educational excellence
Education is an essential tool that one can use to
unlock a world of endless possibilities. As Nel-
son Mandela once said, “Education is the great
engine of personal development. It is through ed-
ucation that the daughter of a peasant can be-
come a doctor, that the son of a mine worker can
become the head of the mine, that a child of farm
workers can become the president of a great na-
tion. It is what we make out of what we have, not
what we are given, that separates one person
from another.”
This year, pupils have had to complete their aca-
demic curriculum under very challenging cir-
cumstances. Although they had missed a number
of school days and had to be home schooled, this

Educational development is a fundamental as-
pect of the JEMS Foundation Early Childhood
Development Facility (ECD). Amidst so many
challenges and setbacks that this year has thrown
in the way of learning, pupils at the JEMS Foun-
dation ECD concluded the year in strength and
joy. This was the reason why the ECD held a
Christmas party for the little ones to award them
for doing well this year and to make beautiful
memories.
Co-founder of JEMS Foundation, Melina Singh,
thanked CGI party planners for the amazing
setup. She also thanked the school staff for their
hard work throughout the year and their dedica-
tion towards the children.
The ECD takes in children from disadvantaged
backgrounds who are living in the informal set-
tlements nearby. They provide a nutritious meal
plan which includes breakfast, lunch and snacks

Local security company, PT Alarms, is urging
members of the community, especially elderly
residents and minors, to refrain from walking
alone to shops and malls as they are soft targets
for lurking criminals, who are on the prowl.
This comes after a 74-year-old woman from
Montclair was accosted by two suspects, who
were armed with a firearm.
It is alleged that the suspects ruthlessly pistol-
whipped the elderly woman, who was making her
way to the store.
The pensioner sustained head injuries and her
glasses were smashed and broken in the process.
The woman was left severely traumatised and dis-
orientated and was transported to the hospital for
further medical treatment.
PT Alarms further stated that the criminals fled
with her handbag, which contained her personal
belongings, a cellphone, store cards, bank cards
and an undisclosed amount of cash.
Security officers from PT Alarms Tactical Unit
tried searching for the suspects, who made a hasty
getaway. PENSIONER DISCOUNT AVAILABLE ON NON PROMOTIONAL ITEMS ONLY WHILE STOCKS LAST WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO LIMIT QUANTITIES. E.&O.EPage 6 THE RISING SUN, MEREBANK, DECEMBER 22, 2020 - www.risingsunchatsworth.co.za

2021, alongside the launch of several new features.
“We’re very excited to welcome visitors for another spectacular
Crocworld Conservation Centre holiday programme that includes
some of the regular favourites, as well as a number of exciting
new additions,” said Crocworld Conservation Centre acting man-
ager, James Wittstock.
All relevant COVID-19 health and safety protocols are being fol-
lowed to ensure visitor safety. The beautiful natural setting also
means that the majority of activities take place outdoors, making
it the perfect family outing.

New features to enjoy at Crocworld:
Visitors flocking to the centre will get the chance to encounter
the latest residents- Booted Eagles, Eurasian Eagle Owls, Harris
Hawk and Jackal Buzzards- in the new Raptor Wing. This ex-
tends the centre’s existing aviary, which was recently upgraded,
housing numerous local and exotic bird species.
Another new resident at the centre is ‘Laggie’, a beautiful, fe-
male, white-throated monitor lizard, who’s looking forward to
meeting new visitors. The popular Whale Watching Walkway has
been revamped, giving visitors the chance to spot some of these
migrating mammals as well as the ever-playful dolphins.
Crocworld has recently opened its exciting crocodile feeding
platform where staff will be able to perform fantastic feeding
demonstrations to the crowd.

R600k to KZN Blind and Deaf Society
At a time when the KZN Deaf and Blind Society (KZNBDS) is struggling fi-
nancially and its coffers are running dry, a capital injection could not come at a
more better time.
Yes, Christmas has come early for the KZNBDS after they received a whopping
R600, 000 from an educational and charitable trust. At a cheque hand-over pres-
entation at the offices of the society on Wednesday, the Clare Estate Educational
and Charitable Trust (CEECT) presented a cheque of R600, 000 to the society.
Clare Estate Educational and Charitable Trust chairman, Mr GL Naidoo, said, “I
am pleased to inform you that the Clare Estate Educational and Charitable Trust
had considered the donations based on the status of the KZN Blind and Deaf So-
ciety. On behalf of the trust, I thank the society for this opportunity as we thank
them for their humanitarian service. The KZNBDS is a well-established organi-
sation caters to the needs of the blind and deaf community. Their exemplary ad-
ministration and service to mankind is also noted. We ask God’s blessings on
this activity, on which we engage, that bind us together.’’
Trustee of the society, Eshu Seevnarayan, initiated the process of applying to the
CEECT for funding for the society. The society currently reaches the poor, un-
employed, blind, deaf and deaf-blind persons living in rural areas, who do not
have the finances or ability to receive rehabilitation services.
President, Veetha Sewkuran, expressed her deep gratitude to the Clare Estate Ed-
ucational and Charitable Trust and shared that the money donated will be in-
vested and interest thereof will be used toward the services that the KZNBDS
