Joburg ready for Africities conference The summit will push for the ratification of the African Charter on Values and Principles of Decentralisation, Local Governance and Local Development Johannesburg - The City is both ready and honoured to host the seventh edition of the Africities Summit, Mayor Parks Tau said at a media briefing on Monday. The summit, to be held over five days at the Sandton Convention Centre from Sunday November 29 to December 3 is expected to be attended by more than 5 000 delegates from the African continent and the diaspora. “We have pulled out all stops to ensure a warm Jozi welcome awaits the thousands of representatives of Africa’s 15 000 local government authorities expected to descend on our city,” the Mayor said. The summit, to be held under the theme “Shaping the Future of Africa with the People: The Contribution of African Local Authorities to Agenda 2063 of the African Union (AU)” is expected to attract a wide range of influential and high-profile delegates. Among them will be Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe, AU Chair-
woman Dr Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma and former presidents Thabo Mbeki, Jakaya Kikwete (Tanzania), Jerry Rawlings (Ghana) and Olusegun Obasanjo (Nigeria). The summit will discuss a wide range of issues, rapid urbanisation unemployment to climate change. Flanked by South African Local Government Association Deputy Chairman Councillor Mpho Nawa and UCLGA Secretary-General Jean-Pierre Elong Mbassi, Mayor Tau said the summit was also about advocacy and activism, networking and formation of partnerships for development programmes, and capacity building. He said the summit had two major objectives – defining shared strategies to improve the living conditions of people at local government level and contributing to the integration, peace and unity of Africa at grassroots level in line with the AU’s Agenda 2063. “Agenda 2063 outlines a clear vision for Africa, which is rooted in a sober understanding of the lessons of the past.
UCLGA Secretary-General Jean-Pierre Mbassi, Mayor Parks Tau and SALGA Deputy Chairman Mpho Nawa at the briefing.
This includes the changing position and role of Africa in a rapidly changing international system and how far we still need to go to meet the needs of all African people,” the Mayor said. The summit will, among other things, push for the ratification of the African Charter on Values and Principles of Decentralisation, Local Governance and Local Development adopted by heads of state and government in Malabo, Equatorial Guinea, in June 2014. The summit will also discuss the positions of Africa’s local governments on various agendas. These include the
AU’s Agenda 2063, African Urban Agenda, Sustainable Development Goals Agenda and COP21 Agenda. The summit also takes place on the eve of COP21 in Paris and also shortly after the adoption of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals in September. “But it also comes at a time when Africa is faced with the effects of rapid urbanisation that is calling for an urgent new urban agenda for the continent,” Tau said. Mbassi said the summit was a new beginning for Africa’s local governments. He said by speaking with one
voice, municipalities would be able to share ideas and deliver better services to their citizens. “In Paris next month, we hope to have African government’s contributions to climate change reflected,” Mbassi said. “We want to see local governments recognised as the driving force of change at all levels. A new era begins in Johannesburg.” Councillor Nawa said the Africities agenda should be aligned with the AU’s 2063 development agenda if local governments were to be effective. He said he hoped the summit would produce binding decisions and action plans.

Johannesburg - Residents and businesses have been urged to keep their refuse bins in their properties following the strike by Pikitup employees. All Pikitup depots have been affected by the industrial action. “Residents and business owners are urged to keep bins inside their property until such time that alternative operational arrangements are communicated by the company,” said Pikitup Spokesperson Jacky Mashapu. “Pikitup apologises for any inconveniences that may be caused as a result of the service delivery interruptions and will provide regular updates on the situation,” Mashapu said.
Mashapu said Pikitup, the City of Johannesburg’s waste management entity, would invoke the no-work, nopay principle and would also lock out all employees taking part in the work stoppage. “We are working tirelessly to ensure that services are restored as soon as possible,” he said. He added that Pikitup management remained committed to addressing the concerns of both the employees and organised labour. “But for that to happen, employees must first return to work and make use of the established process for engagement,” Mashapu said.

Elderly abuse tops city’s 16 Days of Activism programme
MMC Nonceba Molwele
Johannesburg - The violence and abuse visited upon women and children, as well as the elderly, will come under sharp focus when the City of Joburg marks the 16 Days of Activism for No Violence Against Women and Children. Observed internationally, the campaign is held every year from November 25 (International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women) to December 10 (International Human Rights Day). It includes World Aids Day on December 1. To highlight the scourge of violence and to push for its total elimination, the City has lined up several awareness activities, events and initiatives in all its regions throughout the 16-day period, says City of Joburg’s MMC for Health and Social De-
velopment Nonceba Molwele. Locally, this year’s campaign will be held under the theme: “Count Me In - Together Moving a Non-Violent South Africa Forward.” Internationally, the theme is: “From Peace in the Home to Peace in the World: Make Education Safe for All.” According to MMC Molwele, most of the City’s events this year focus on the abuse of the elderly. Celebrations marking Human Rights Day on December 10 will take place at the Danie van Zyl Recreation Centre in Newlands. Region F will launch a safety awareness initiative on November 24. The abuse of the elderly will also be put in the spotlight at the event at South Hills Day Care Centre on December 3.

Gunman held for Fordsburg shooting Johannesburg - Police have arrested a man following a shooting in Fordsburg, in which another man was shot several times in 8th Avenue on Wednesday last week, according to Warrant Officer Xoli Mbele. He says it is alleged that the Somali suspect shot a 40-year old male several times in the upper body. “The victim was taken to hospital. Suspect tried to flee the scene but police cornered him; a firearm with live ammunition was recovered. The motive for the shooting is not yet known. The firearm has a serial number, which shows that it belongs to a 43-year-old male residing at Bloemfontein. It was reported stolen in October.”
Warrant Officer Mbele adds that police also arrested three suspects between the ages of 30 to 37 for possession of a stolen motor vehicle at Denver. “Police on routine crime prevention in Ellof and Stevenson Street saw suspicious silver grey Polo Classic with five occupants inside. They tried to stop it but the vehicle sped off. Police gave chase until they cornered them; two suspects managed to run away and three were apprehended. The vehicle had a false registration number and the engine number had been tampered with. Preliminary investigation revealed that the vehicle was recently reported stolen at Sophiatown police station,” he says.

on Africa Debate over torture building
Villagers view a maize field that has been affected by the drought.
Millions face food insecurity Lusaka, Zambia - Drought caused by the El Niño weather phenomenon is set to worsen economic growth, with economists saying this year’s figure will be below the 5% projected by the finance minister. The World Food Programme (WFP) and UN Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) said 8.7% of the rural population is food insecure. According to the report, Southern Africa Food & Nutrition Security Update, “rainfall forecasts for southern Africa indicate below-average rainfall”. “Although agriculture makes up less than 20% of GDP, a large proportion of the population depends on small-scale farming for sustenance,” Richard Tome and Robert Hill, economists at Focus Economics, said. About 10 economic analysts agreed that the economic growth for 2015 will fall to 4.2%
before picking up to 4.6% in 2016. Zambia recorded brisk growth in the past few years, the economy growing by 5.6% in 2014 and an average 7.1% in the past five years. In 2014, Zambia recorded a record low corn harvest, boosting inflation, reduced taxation revenues and forced government to tap into corn reserves. The most substantial impact the drought will have is via electricity. Hydropower accounts for over 90% of electricity production. The drought has lowered water levels at powergenerating reservoirs, forcing the country to cut electrical production, and increase tariffs. Zimbabwe, Malawi and Mozambique will also be affected. FAO stated that 29 million people in southern Africa face food insecurity, and cautioned that the impact of current conditions will last until 2017. AP

Part endorses leader for second term
Spiral of political violence escalates Bujumbura, Burundi - At least seven people have been killed in the capital, a rights activist said, as the east African country plunges deeper into a spiral of political violence. “Most of shootings and explosions happened on Saturday night in Bujumbura,” Anschaire Nikoyagize, the president of the Burundian League for Human Rights said. “We spoke to some of relatives of those killed who told us their relatives were killed by people in police uniforms. “The information we have is that those killed are thought to be opposing Nkurunziza’s third term.
Seven bodies have been counted so far,” Nikoyagize said. Activists say more than 240 people have been killed in protests and attacks since April, when Nkurunziza announced his intention to seek a third term in office despite a two-term limit set by the constitution. The president went on to win a July election boycotted by the opposition. More than 200,000 people have fled the violence to neighbouring countries. The opposition has warned that peace can only be restored if Nkurunziza steps down and calls fresh elections. DPA

President John Mahama
Accra, Ghana - The ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) has voted to endorse President John Mahama’s bid for a second term at elections next year. Mahama thanked those who voted for him and defended his record in power, which has seen growth in the emerging West African nation slow, public debt spiral and the cedi currency depreciate. “I feel humbled by the overwhelming endorsement I have received from the NDC and I accept the responsibility to lead the party to victory in 2016.” Mahama, who stepped up from vice-president after John Atta Mills died in 2012 then won a mandate at the polls, went into the vote unopposed but still had to be endorsed in line with party rules. He is set to face his beaten 2012 opponent Nana Akufo-Addo, 71, from the New Patriotic Party (NPP). No date has been set for the election. Ghana has been a stable democracy in the often turbulent world of African politics. But economic concerns have dominated Mahama’s time in office. Reuters
President Abdelaziz Bouteflika
Ex-spy chief to appear in court Algiers, Algeria - The former head of counter-terrorism is to appear in a military court in the country’s first trial of a high-ranking officer in the secret services, his lawyer said. Abdelkader Ait-Ouarabi, better known as General Hassan, is accused of “destroying documents and disobeying military instructions,” lawyer Mokrane Ait-Larbi said. The military court in second city Oran could not be reached for confirmation. General Hassan had for two decades embodied the army’s fight against Islamist groups. He was forcibly retired at the orders of a military judge at the end of 2013 and placed under surveillance, then arrested in August. Analysts interpreted his removal as President Abdelaziz Bouteflika consolidating his hold over intelligence services some considered a “parallel state” within Algeria. In September, the president also replaced General Mohamed Mediene, better known as General Toufik, after 25 years at the head of the powerful DRS intelligence agency. General Hassan’s lawyer has asked for Mediene to appear in court as a witness. If the 74-year-old did appear in court, it would be the first time Mediene, dubbed the “God of Algeria” because of his longtime influence, had appeared in public. AFP

Medical Directory Strategy to break HIV/Aids epidemic The report also shows that areas with fewer people with HIV are more likely to have discriminatory attitudes than where HIV is more prevalent
Catharine Paddock PhD
A
report released by UNAIDS ahead of World AIDS day on December 1 gives over 50 examples from countries that have adopted the Fast-Track Strategy, which, if adopted by all nations, could end the AIDS epidemic. A new report suggests doubling the number of people on HIV treatment in the next five years could break the AIDS epidemic. The report estimates
there are now 15.8 million people with HIV receiving antiretroviral therapy, double the number from five years ago. In 2010, 7.5 million people were receiving HIV treatment, compared with 2.2 million in 2005. By the end of 2014, new HIV infections dropped to 35% below the peak reached in 2000, while AIDS-related deaths fell by 42% since the peak in 2004. Michel Sidibé, executive director of UNAIDS, says: “Every 5 years we have more than doubled the number of people on life-saving treatment. We need to do it just one more time to break the AIDS epidemic and keep it from rebounding.” The report outlines how the FastTrack approach with a focus on “location, population and programmes,” will help attain specific targets for 2030, such as averting 21 million AIDS-related deaths, 28 million new HIV infections and 5.9 million new infections among children. The report states that the Fast-Track approach will also be instrumental in attaining the UNAIDS 90-90-90 treatment target. This says that by 2020, 90% of people living with HIV should know their HIV status, 90% of them should be receiving treatment and 90% of those on treatment should have suppressed viral loads (very low levels of HIV in the body). The report notes that of the estimated 36.9 million people in the world living with HIV, only 41% of adults and 32% of children are receiving treatment. Also, in sub-Saharan Africa, where 70% of people with HIV live, an estimated 49% of adults do not know their HIV status, approximately 57% living with HIV are not receiving antiretroviral therapy and an estimated 68% are not virally suppressed. These figures highlight how far we are from the World Health Organization
(WHO) guideline issued in September that calls for every HIV-infected person to be receiving treatment. The report details how some highimpact prevention and treatment programess - such as pre-exposure treatments, voluntary medical male circumcision and sexual and reproductive health services - have succeeded in reaching different groups in various locations. These include young women and their partners, pregnant women with HIV, people who inject drugs, sex workers, transgender people, gay men and other men who have sex with men. The report authors add: “Otherwise, an effort to make services more acceptable and accessible could be misappropriated, becoming an effort to track, discriminate and punish the very people it was meant to help.” They comment that in some countries, progress in eliminating HIV/ AIDS is hampered by “pervasive punitive laws and strongly held cultural values against key populations,” and reforming them “remains one of the single most important elements of efforts to increase access and uptake of HIV programmes and services.” The report also shows that areas with fewer people with HIV are more likely to have discriminatory attitudes than where HIV is more prevalent. Education about HIV tends to be more widespread in countries with higher rates of HIV and more people in receipt of treatment. On another battlefront, the world could be losing the fight against TB, which is now the biggest infectious killer globally, claiming 1.5 million lives a year. Without a clear investment plan and a complete overhaul in how the disease is tackled, the world is unlikely to eliminate TB before the end of the 22nd century, says the Stop TB Partnership.

Sweetened drinks Consumption of sweetened beverages has already been to changes in blood pressure, concentrations of linked to heart failure linked insulin, glucose and C-reactive protein, and weight Tim Newman
N
ew research shows a link between regular consumption of sweetened drinks and an increased likelihood of heart failure in men. Although this is the first time heart failure has specifically been investigated, there already exists a wealth of data on sweetened drinks’ impacts on other health issues. Research conducted in 2004 found that adolescents consumed an average of 300 calories per day from sugar-sweetened drinks, accounting for 13% of their daily caloric intake. Due to the prevalence of sweetened drinks in the general population’s diet and their negative health potential, this is an area worthy of further investigation. Consumption of sweetened beverages has already been linked to changes in blood pressure, concentrations of insulin, glucose and C-reactive protein, and weight. Soft drinks are also associated with an increased risk of developing hypertension, metabolic syndrome, coronary heart disease and stroke. Previous research has also shown that people who consume 1-2 cans of sugary drinks per day or more have a 26% greater risk of developing type 2 diabetes than people who rarely have such drinks. Another study, which lasted 22 years and involved 80 000 women, found that those who consumed a can a day of sugary drinks had a 75% higher risk of gout than women who rarely had such drinks. According to recent research by Susanna Larsson, PhD, at the Institute of Environmental Medicine, Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, Sweden, heart failure may be the next evil to join sweetened drinks’ list of woes. Heart failure is defined by the National, Heart, Lung and Blood Institute as a situation when an individual’s “heart cannot pump enough blood to meet the body’s needs.”
Worryingly, heart failure appears to be on the rise, especially in men and the elderly. Survival estimates for heart failure patients are only 50% at 5 years and 10% at 10 years. This upward trend has been described as a “cardiovascular epidemic with the potential to become a global public health crisis.” Despite this, the data linking heart failure to nutritional factors is relatively sparse. A recent review found fewer than 20 observational studies investigating the relationship between nutrition and heart failure, and the majority of those studies have investigated negative correlations between heart failure and eating healthfully, rather than the negative impacts of diet. Larsson’s new study, published in the journal Heart, hopes to shed additional light on heart failure’s potential causes. The study’s participants were taken from the Cohort of Swedish Men (COSM). These individuals all lived in Sweden and were born between 1918 and 1952. The COSM consists of 48 850 men who completed a questionnaire covering a number of parameters, such as physical activity, diet, anthropometric traits and various other lifestyle factors. The results, in simple terms: “Men who consumed at least two servings per day of sweetened beverages had a 23% higher risk of heart failure, compared with non-consumers.” Researchers observed this effect, despite adjusting for potentially confounding variables including smoking, caffeine intake, weight, daily amount of physical activity, diabetes, hypertension, fruit intake and processed meat intake. This current research is yet another compelling strand of evidence adding to the weight of negative impacts attributed to sweetened drinks. Medical News Today

The Dune offers “sportiness, proximity to SUVs, authenticity, lifestyle, history, leisure-orientation and emotion,” all things that should make a raised FWD Beetle cool
The newly launched VW Beetle
SA motor market to mull over new Beetle Motoring Correspondent
O
ne of the models that is of more interest to South Africans is the debut of the Beetle Dune. Volkswagen launched productionready versions of the hard-top and convertible versions of this new model. These are not far off from the Beetle Dune Concept we saw last year. This crossover model is based on
Major Service R450 Engine Gearboxes & Brake overhauls
Recon-of-Power Steering Racks-Boxes and Pumps for Cars and Trucks
the current Beetle hatchback but is differentiated by off-road accents such as 18-inch wheels and a raised ride height of 10 mm. In profile, the black wheel well and body add-on extensions can be seen especially on lighter body colours. Black side trim strips running boards and “DUNE” badging round-off the effect. A total of nine different body colours are available for the Beetle
Dune including Sandstorm Yellow Metallic (seen here) and Dark Bronze Metallic. For added visual effect you can option the Coupé version with the roof painted black. In Europe, the new Beetle Dune will be available with three turbocharged petrol engines and two turbodiesels. The petrol engines produce 77 kW, 110 kW and 162 kW. The turbodiesel engines develop 81 kW and 110 kW. VWSA says that the new models are not heading to SA, but perhaps if there is enough interest the Uitenhage-based firm might reconsider. Meanwhile Charlen Raymond reports that Volkswagen’s board apparently approved and gave the go-ahead for the Beetle Dune to be put to production, only it will not feature all-wheel drive. Based on the current Beetle, the Dune is set to launch in early 2016 in both hatchback and cabriolet configurations. All Dune-models will be raised by 50 mm and widened by 26 mm. Instead of featuring an all-wheel drive system, the Dune will have an electronic XDS differential lock when it reaches showroom floors. Changes to the Dune will only be cosmetic where it will feature more aggressive front and rear bodywork. Head of Beetle marketing, Matthias Zauner, believes the Dune will have a place and future within an expanding Beetle family. Zauner continued to convince himself that the Dune offers “sportiness, proximity to SUVs, authenticity, lifestyle, history, leisure-orientation and emotion,” all things that should make a raised FWD Beetle cool. The Dune is set to feature high trim engines from the Beetle portfolio. Though the only dunes the Dune will conquer is in name, nothing’s preventing prospective buyers from flattening those pesky mole hills.

Lovemore Moyo reports that Bucs coach Eric Tinkler has identified Etoile du Sahel’s dangerman, while also stressing the need for his side to remain ex-
ceptionally disciplined against the Tunisians. “They have a few options. The number nine Baghdad Bounedjah who plays up-front as their main striker. He is physically a good player and holds the ball up very well and is also very strong. He has a lot of speed and likes to make the runs in behind the defence, so we need to be wary of him. They also have a number seven Hamza Lahmar who can play behind the striker or at deeper lying position, but it all depends on what the coach wants to do in this game. Technically he is also very good, very dangerous on set-pieces because
he really delivers a very good ball, and there is a boy in jersey number eight Alaya Brigui who plays on the right wing. Also a very good player with lots of speed and who likes to come inside and make it very difficult for teams. Tinkler adds: “And then the coach Faouzi Benzarti has many other players on the bench, so there has not been a game that he has played in which he has always started with the same lineup. He has always made changes so we have looked at all the games and seen the changes he has made, and now we wait to see what he brings on the day.”

unners wishing to be part of the 2016 Comrades Marathon have just one week left to get their entry in. The Comrades Marathon Association (CMA) has announced that entries for next year’s ‘down-run’ will close as soon as the cap of 20-000 entries has been reached or within the next week. There are just over 3 000 entries available due to the entry limit of 20 000 being implemented. Athletes from more than 60 countries have already made their entry for the 91st edition of The Ultimate Human Race, with the biggest number of entries coming from the United Kingdom, followed by the USA and Australia. CMA Race Director Rowyn James has encouraged all aspiring Comrades runners to enter as soon as possible to guarantee their place on the start line. James says: “The ‘down-run’ has traditionally attracted more runners than the ‘up-run’. We look forward to having many more athletes entering the race during this final week of entries.” The world’s biggest and oldest ultra-marathon will be run on Sunday, May 29, 2016 and will be the 45th down-run in Comrades history. The race will start outside the Pietermaritzburg City Hall at 05:30 and finish 12 hours later at the Kingsmead stadium in Durban.
