SOUTH PENINSULA BEACHES
What the nurdle? RACINE EDWARDES RACINE.EDWARDES@MEDIA24.COM @RAEEDWARDES
T
he community, local organisations and everyone in between are coming together to remove nurdles from local beaches following reports of the plastic pellets having washed up on several beaches during the past few weeks. The Shark Spotters, a shark safety and research organisation, sent out a public plea on Thursday 22 October, stating that nurdles had washed up on several beaches and urging beachgoers to help pick them up. “Our coastal rehabilitation team has been noticing a lot of nurdles washed up on South Peninsula beaches over the past week – with nurdles found at Muizenberg, Fish Hoek, Simon’s Town, Miller’s Point, Witsands and Kommetjie so far,” the organisation wrote on its social media platforms. Nurdles, according to Shark Spotters, are “tiny beads of virgin plastic that are (intended to be) melted down and injection moulded to make a variety of new plastic products”. Mike Barron, the course director at Cape Research and Diver Development (Radd) marine field station, says there are two main problems with nurdles appearing in the environment. “These micro-plastics look like food sources in the ocean and so a lot of fish, marine mammals and birds will eat them, thinking they’re food, plankton or fish eggs. The plastic can’t be digested and broken down in the body, so the animals either choke or starve to death on them,” he says, explaining that the plastics keep the animals feeling full because they are not passed through their systems, and the animals then stop eating. A secondary issue, he says, is the magnification of toxins through the food chain. “The plastics, because they’re non-organic, create a surface area for the attachment of bacteria and organisms and densities of toxins build up on them,” says Barron. What this means, he explains, is when smaller animals consume these bacteria- and toxin-ridden plastics, the bacteria or toxin lives inside the animal. The problem arises as these small animals are consumed by bigger animals, and those are then consumed by

even bigger animals. The bacteria or toxin continues to multiply in each host, causing illness. The Beach Co-op’s Aaniyah Omardien, founder and director of the not-for-profit company that aims to ensure the health of the ocean, says the scope of the assumed nurdle spill is far-reaching. “There are nurdles that we’re finding on Cape beaches such as Muizenberg, as well as southern Cape beaches like De Bakke in Mossel Bay, Cape Agulhas and Plettenberg Bay,” she says. While the public’s efforts are making a world of a difference, she says there have been no developments with regards to finding the source of the spill, and possibly the owners of the vessel they may have spilt from or the plastics company shipping them. “What’s been amazing is to see so many citizens and beach-lovers get out there and clean local beaches. But we at the Beach Coop really still feel the vessel and company need to take responsibility.”
With so many people assisting in the cleanup efforts, Omardien offers advice. “You don’t need to go out and buy a sieve to separate the nurdles from the sand. Simply use a small rectangular bucket or container, fill it with seawater, go to the high tide line (the mark left on the sand where the water reaches during high tide), and grab a handful of sand and throw it in the bucket. The nurdles will float and sand will sink,” she says. Cape Radd is encouraging people to get involved by starting a limited-offer exchange. “If people collect a jar of 370ml of nurdles, they can exchange those for a Citizen Science (“Diving for shark data”, People’s Post, 1 September) trip where we teach them about the biodiversity in False Bay and they’ll get to snorkel. The idea is to put a value on their time and effort and basically create an exchange economy without money. We also want to raise awareness,” says Barron. The City of Cape Town’s environmental management department is also calling on citizens to help with clean-up efforts.
“I want to thank those who are assisting by collecting the nurdles from the beaches. This is a mark of active citizenship. I also want to encourage more to join. The more nurdles collected, the safer our beaches. Also, every nurdle collected helps protect our fragile marine ecosystem,” said the City’s Mayco member for spatial planning and environment Marian Nieuwoudt in a statement. Shark Spotters at Fish Hoek and Muizenberg will be doing nurdle collections, as well as at Swan Lodge. There are more companies and organisations coming on board at collection points each day. The Pristine Earth Collective, a non-government organisation (NGO) which lobbies towards a single-use, plastic-free South Africa, is said to have ideas for these plastics which will be taking shape in the next few weeks.

Study on immune response A
lthough it is almost a year since the outbreak of the Covid-19 virus was first identified in Wuhan, China, in December 2019, scientists still have more questions than answers, one of which is: can patients become reinfected? A team of researchers led by associate professor Wendy Burgers, a viral immunologist in the division of medical virology at the University of Cape Town (UCT), is trying to understand how the immune system responds to the virus and whether it provides previously infected patients with a level of protection should they be re-exposed to the virus. “Our basic understanding of immunology and our experience of the pandemic thus far suggest that there certainly are some months of immunity because there are no widespread reports of people becoming reinfected,” she said. “So, we can safely say that we do build a certain amount of immunity that protects us. We just don’t know for sure how long it lasts.” This is exactly what researchers are currently interested in – establishing how long immune memory lasts, and whether crossreactive immunity in patients who have been exposed to other related coronaviruses, which typically cause the common cold, protects patients from developing severe forms of Covid-19. “We’re trying to understand whether those patients who have been exposed to the common cold viruses (viruses related to Covid-19) build a level of immunity. In this case, T-cells that can recognise Sars-CoV-2
might protect patients from contracting severe Covid-19,” Burgers said. Following an in-depth study which spanned a period of 12 weeks (May to July), the findings were presented in a research paper by lead author Dr Stephen Makatsa, a postdoctoral fellow in the division of medical virology. The research team has established an antibody assay – a biochemical test that measures the presence or concentration of antibodies in a patient’s blood, recognises the virus and signals that infection has occurred and an immune response has formed. The research involved collecting Covid19-positive samples from infected volunteers in Cape Town and Johannesburg, recruited by the National Health Laboratory Services. Once the scientists received the participants’ samples, they measured their antibody responses to the virus. Of the 77 participants surveyed, 23 volunteers reported that they had experienced mild disease symptoms; 38 volunteers reported moderate symptoms; five were asymptomatic and three were admitted to hospital with severe disease. Results indicate that antibodies to the viral spike protein, and to its receptor binding domain were detected in 51 and 48 participants respectively. “Results show that our test works really well in measuring antibodies in people who have been infected,” Burgers said. The goal now, she explained, is to use the test to measure antibody responses and see how
long they last in patients who have been previously infected. The study also involves regularly sampling a group of healthcare workers who were infected with Covid-19, as well as a group of their peers who have not been infected with the virus, to study their immune responses. The study spans a period of three years and study visits will occur every six months to obtain samples and perform tests. From the antibody data available, Burgers said, scientists are able to measure antibodies in most people who have been infected with Covid-19. However, she added, in some cases, patients have displayed very low antibody responses post-infection, which may be related to the time period after infection, and whether they experienced mild or severe disease. “This has caused quite a lot of alarm, but it’s important to remember that this is a normal immune response, where antibodies wane after the initial infection is cleared.” While scientists may not be able to measure the antibody response 100% of the time, Burgers said that if previously infected patients were to be re-exposed to the virus, immune memory could kick in, expand to very high levels and protect the person from reinfection. For those volunteers who have not been infected with the virus, the group will study whether any “cross-reactive” T-cells have any effect in modulating the outcome of infection or the course of Covid-19 disease, should they become infected over the course of the study.
Speed fencing project aims to curb spread In an effort to curb the spread of Covid-19, the City of Cape Town has launched the speed fencing initiative, installing temporary fencing at public transport interchanges (PTIs) across Cape Town. “The speed fencing initiative provides a form of access control at the PTIs and allows us to screen commuters before they enter the facility and proceed with their travelling,” says the City’s Mayco member for transport, Felicity Purchase. The decision was made based on the local demand for public transport which is used by thousands of around Cape Town.
Purchase adds that the virus is still very much alive and real. “As such, the City is trying its very best to create awareness of Covid-19 symptoms among commuters at the PTIs and to create a safer public area for all,” Purchase explains. Nomzamo, Somerset West, Mfuleni, Nyanga central, Nyanga Junction and Parow are the communities who have already received the fencing. Plans are currently under way to also install fences at Bellville, Kuyasa, Philippi, Claremont, Kuils River, Lentegeur, Dur-
banville, Fish Hoek, Retreat, Maitland, Athlone, Blackheath, and Mitchell’s Plain. Purchase wants residents to be aware that, despite the temporary fencing to mitigate the spread, Covid-19 safety protocols are still in place. “I want to remind commuters to please keep on wearing face masks when in public, to continue washing and sanitising hands often, to practise social distancing, and to avoid commuting when they do not feel well. By working together, and taking responsibility for our health and safety, we can stop the spread of the virus,” she says.

Covid-19’s psychological impact SAMANTHA LEE-JACOBS SAMANTHA.LEE@PEOPLESPOST.CO.ZA @SAMANTHA_LEE121
T
he Covid-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdown have been tough on many, and mental health has taken significant strain. But despite the global pandemic, putting your mind at ease could be just a few simple steps away. Access Consciousness, the movement which incorporates various tools and techniques to empower people to help themselves, is now available to everyone and methods can be applied without assistance. These pragmatic well-being tools were developed by Gary Douglas, the founder of Access Consciousness, in 1991. Since then, Access Consciousness has expanded into over 170 countries, has been translated into more than 30 languages, and has contributed to changing the lives of hundreds of thousands of people. “In the beginning Access Bars was all that was offered by Access Consciousness. To this day it remains the foundation and core of all tools of Access Consciousness. Access Bars is offered in a one-day class facilitated by Bars facilitators all over the world, including in South Africa,” says Dialina Baumann of the organisation. The Bars which form part of the Access Bars approach are 32 unique points on the head that correlate to different areas and aspects of life. “During an Access Bars session, a practitioner gently touches these points to release the electromagnetic charge of all thoughts, ideas, attitudes, decisions, and beliefs that may have limited you in the concerned life areas,” says Baumann. During the pandemic, a month-long wellness and support initiative was launched from World Suicide Day on Thursday 10 September to World Mental Health Day on Saturday 10 October. The pandemic has revealed a mental health crisis. According to a recent online survey on mental health during the lockdown, conducted by The South African Depression and Anxiety Group (Sadag), lockdown has affected many South Africans, and it has had a serious impact on people living with a mental health issue. Sadag reported that they had also been receiving calls from people with no prior history of anxiety or depression who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious and stressed as a re-
Access Bars is a method that uses various pressure points in the head to treat stress and other ailments. sult of the pandemic. But South Africans are not alone. The lockdown has drawn attention to a global crisis due to the prolonged effects of isolation during the Covid-19 pandemic and ongoing climate of uncertainty and fear, says the organisation. According to a recent Kaiser Family Foundation poll, nearly half of Americans reported the Coronavirus pandemic was harming their mental health, and online therapy provider Talkspace reported a 65% jump in users since February. “The amount of fear, anxiety and depression that is happening in the world right now due to this pandemic is devastating to witness. We have thousands of inspiring stories and testimonials from facilitators who have experienced immense relief after undergoing an Access Bars session, and we wanted to find a way to show people that there is hope in the world and that there can be relief for this feeling of despair. We want people to know that they are not alone and that they are a gift, with something unique to offer the world,” says Access Consciousness co-creator Dr Dain Heer in a statement. Used as a potent and pragmatic tool by
families, schools, businesses, athletes, prison wards, psychologists, artists and many more it can be effective in treating panic attacks, post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). Access Consciousness also created an online interview video series to break the stigma attached to mental illness. Titled “You are not alone”, the series was conducted with facilitators who have experienced mental illness, and was live-streamed globally.

‘Adopt’ a shark
OCEAN VIEW CYCLISTS GO BIG: Jordan and Noah September, former cyclists for Fresh Start Cycling Club in Ocean View, recently joined Kinetic Cycling Club and took part in the Western Cape Track Championship 2020 on Saturday 24 and Sunday 25 October in Bellville. The boys’ mother, Tania, said they performed very well. Jordan completed seven u.17 races. His results are: 2nd in 2 000m individual pursuit; 1st in 500m tt; 3rd in 7.5km scratch race; 2nd in 1 500m; 2nd in match sprint overall; 2nd in 10km points race and 1st in Kieren race. Noah participated in four u.13 races. His results are: 1st in 1 500m individual pursuit; 1st in 500m tt; 2nd in 3km scratch race and 2nd in 1 500m race. Noah also achieved Western Cape colours for the Western Cape Road Championships in January this year and both boys achieved colours for this most recent event.
The Cape Research and Diver Development (Radd) marine field station is appealing to the public to “adopt” a shark to assist its shark research. “People can adopt a shark and that money gives them an information pack and certificate.” While you don’t get to take your new “pet” home, Cape Radd’s course director Mike Barron says: “That money is then put towards research on endemic sharks in False Bay.” Among other things, the funds raised will be used for cloud storage of its shark data to improve its knowledge and database on the marine animals.

Love and healing at the Baxter Z
akes Mda’s acclaimed first novel, Ways of Dying, will be presented by the Baxter Theatre and UCT’s Centre for Theatre, Dance and Performance Studies (CTDPS), at the Baxter Flipside for six performances only. Adapted and directed by Lara Foot, who directed the work 20 years ago at The Market Theatre, the cast is made up of 14 fourthyear students from the CTDPS. The team comprises of Mdu Kweyama (direction and choreography), Bongile Mantsai (direction and music) with set design by Patrick Curtis, lighting design by Mannie Manim and costume design by Leigh Bishop. “The CTDPS is thrilled to be collaborating with The Baxter on our final fourthyear production,” says Sara Matchet, head of CTDPS. “2020 has proved to be exceptionally challenging in terms of teaching in the performing and creative arts departments
at UCT. The loss of face-to-face contact teaching due to the Covid-19 pandemic has impacted our programmes enormously.” She continues: “The collaboration with The Baxter and with Lara Foot as director promises to offer our graduating acting students an experience that will make up for what has been lost. And a theatrical treat for local audiences to experience this work and creatives involved.” The cast comprises Liam Walsh, Tamzin Williams, Megan Tromp, Francis SholtoDouglas, Klara Schoonraad, Emma-Jane Pieters, Bokang Ntsutle, Basetsana Motloung, Tshiamo Moretlwe, Tebatso Molapo, Cullum McCormack, Brett Ilsley, Anathi Godlo and Sam Alexander. The story follows Toloki, an eccentric and dignified professional mourner, who meets his childhood friend Noria at her son’s funeral. They fall in love and move in together,
each one teaching the other how to heal and live. Ways of Dying received the M-Net Book prize, and it was shortlisted for the Central News Agency (CNA) Award and a Noma Award. Some of Mda’s other works include The Heart of Redness, Our Lady of Benoni and The Zulus of New York. With only six performances from Tuesday 10 to Saturday 14 November at 19:00, ticket prices are R75 and R50 for students. All performances will be limited to 50% capacity, with all Covid-19 protocols observed as regulated at level one lockdown restrictions. Audience members are advised to arrive an hour before the start of the performance to avoid delays. V Booking is through Webtickets on 086 111 0005, online at www.webtickets.co.za or at Pick n Pay stores.

All learners up to Grade 12 can enter Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden for free on Mondays to Fridays until Tuesday 15 December. This comes in the wake of a letter sent out by a group of doctors advising schools in the Peninsula on how best to prevent and manage Covid-19 in the school setting. The letter, sent out on Tuesday 13 October, recommends limiting socialising outside the school and meeting a few friends in an open space such as Kirstenbosch, or other open spaces in the city. In response, and in a bid to keep matric learners safe for their exams, Kirstenbosch decided to wave the entry fee for learners on weekdays. Upon arrival at the Kirstenbosch ticket office, learners can ask for free entry and a free entry ticket will be issued. Kirstenbosch is open every day, from 08:00 to 19:00 in summer. Garden entrance fees for adults are R75; SA senior citizens (with ID): free on Tuesdays except on public holidays; RSA students (with student card): R40; learners (Grade R – up until matric): free on Mondays to Fridays. V Garden entry tickets can be purchased at the ticket office or you can book and pay tickets online at Webtickets. For more information, contact Kirstenbosch on 021 799 8783.

Stormers wear their support T
The Stormers will be showing their support for breast cancer and testicular cancer awareness by wearing a special logo on the sleeve of their match kit during November. The logo is a combination of the traditional pink ribbon used for breast cancer awareness and blue “Movember” moustache which signifies testicular cancer awareness. Seen here (from left): Warrick Gelant, Herschell Jantjies, Scarra Ntubeni, Steven Kittshoff, Frans Malherbe and Chris van Zyl.
he DHL Stormers have shown their support for breast cancer and testicular cancer awareness by wearing a special logo on the sleeve of their match kit until the end of this month. The logo is a combination of the traditional pink ribbon used for breast cancer awareness and blue “Movember” moustache which signifies testicular cancer awareness. Globally, two million cases of breast cancer are diagnosed each year. The diagnosis has an indescribable emotional impact on every patient, but also on friends, family and colleagues. To support the various initiatives, DHL, who are the Stormers’ title sponsors, are seeking to extend the awareness to the greater public and have placed decals on their aircraft fleet in Africa (and across the globe) with the ribbon creative to show their support and commitment to the causes. Both causes have been inte-
grated into the Stormers’ match day playing kit for the duration of the season in October and November, displaying the pink and blue logo. Stormers captain Siya Kolisi said the team is proud to be raising awareness for such worthy causes. “Breast cancer and testicular cancer are major health issues and we as a team want to do everything we can to show our support for this campaign, along with our sponsor, DHL,” he said. Stormers coach John Dobson said the values behind this awareness campaign reflect what the Stormers players and management would like to be about as a team. “It is great to be so closely aligned with our title sponsor DHL for such an important campaign. This is about showing concern for the well-being of others and doing everything we can to limit the impact of breast cancer and testicular cancer, so we are glad to be supporting in whatever way we can,” he said.
‘Small people do big things’ SAMANTHA LEE-JACOBS @Samantha_Lee121 The Little Optimist Global Challenge has seen history being made as dinghies (optimists) sailed in the Strandfontein Tidal Pool recently. Run by the Little Optimist Trust, the challenge this year changed its format due to Covid-19 protocols. Sailors, both professional and avid were encouraged to sail one of their optimists on any body of water between Friday 9 and Sunday 18 October to raise funds for charity and help inspire at-risk youth. The 9Miles Project was one of the organisation which joined the challenge, sailing their own optimist in the tidal pool on Monday 12 October with 20 local children who are part of the project’s after school programme. The Little Optimist Trust, which offers sailing therapy to vulnerable children, was founded by Greg Bertish, who at age 31 un-

derwent open heart surgery to remove an undiagnosed and unculturable tropical bacteria that had attacked his aortic heart valve. He spent more than 200 days in hospital and on his release was inspired to do good. “In April 2016, as a middle aged, multiple cardiac surgery survivor, on the blood thinner Warfarin, I sailed a tiny children’s optimist dinghy over 200km in the open ocean. This represented each day I had spent in hospital. My aim was to show people that small people can do big things. “We inspired patients, kids and others to never ever give up, and we raised R300 000 for the new ICU (intensive care unit) at Red Cross Children’s Hospital,” says Bertish in a statement published to their website. Now they aim to save children’s lives by inspiring them to get better, to teach them a skill, to create a passion and to raise funds and awareness for associated charities. Nigel Savel, founder of the 9Miles Project, says: “We have been involved with The Little
Optimist Trust for the past two to three years, and founder Greg Bertish, has always been amazing about including our 9Miles children in their activities – whether it is sailing at Zeekoevlei or the V&A Waterfront, or Children who formed part of the 9Miles Project’s initiatives in the fun-filled visits to dinghies at the Strandfontein Tidal Pools.
