Speaker threatens Herald Surya Pillay, speaker of uMngeni Council, threatened to have Herald editor Russell Barnes thrown out the next time he made an appearance at a council meeting. Mrs Pillay made the threat after the close of an Extra Special Council meeting on 11th July where the municipal manager and his five managers were granted their controversial “performance bonuses” by an ANC majority vote. Questioned by Witness journalist Nalini Naidoo, she was reported in a front-page article on 16th July, “Howick Boss’ big bonus”, as saying that her only comment was
that she is fed up with DA councillors discrediting ANC councillors. Her remarks followed the publication of The Herald on 4th July. According to standing rules and orders for Council and its committees, all Council and Exco meetings are open to both the public and the press. Mr Barnes attended the meeting without a hitch. * At the same time Nalini Naidoo sent an e-mail asking questions about the salary packages to Dumisani Vilakazi and chief financial officer but received no reply.
Habit To impressive at CD launch An up-and-coming Durban band, Habit to, launched its first CD Secrets to a Triangle at a function at the Dockyard Supper Theatre in Musgrave Centre recently. Habit To consists of Michelle Stent (vocals, guitar and piano), brother Andrew (vocals and Habit To bass) and boyfriend Above: consists of Michelle Dale Wardell on Stent (vocals, guitar drums. and piano), brother Not withstanding Andrew (vocals and and boyfriend an unusual line-up bass) Dale Wardell on of female vocalist drums. playing lead guitar, Right: the band has an Habit To’s first CD, added strength in Secrets to a Michelle’s powerful Triangle voice and her acute understanding of music. She is currently in her third year of a B. Mus. degree at the University of KwaZulu-Natal in Durban where she is in the top 15% and hence a member of the Golden Key Society — international recognition for excellence in academic achievement. Habit To combines in sophisticated hard rock with strong jazz and classical backgrounds and a university musical education to produce what their website calls “an eclectic mix of styles, brought together with integrated melodies and often-awkward time signatures”. “You could call it a mixture of Ella Fitzgerald and A Perfect Circle,” Andrew told The Herald. Yet at the same time the music is still undeniably accessible. The band complements their ideals and music further by projecting video and images during their live performances. Sales of the CD at gigs are going very well, while a distribution deal with a company is pending, Andrew explained, saying that Michelle and Dale have been in the U.K. for the past two months. She returned yesterday, and a stand-in drummer will play with them until Dale returns to South Africa early next year. The band is currently receiving radio airplay on East Coast and Radio 2000 for their second single off Secrets, “Before You Go”, which was released in June.
