Kenilworth CAN aims to hand out 30 food parcels per week to families from now until September. Each parcel contains goods to the value of R300.
KENILWORTH
CAN helps feed families NETTALIE VILJOEN NETTALIE.VILJOEN@MEDIA24.COM
T
he Kenilworth Community Action Network (CAN), which has been distributing food parcels in their area since Saturday 16 May, are committed to continuing their good work until September. The Kenilworth network is one of about 140 CANs in Cape Town which form part of the Cape Town Together (CTT) initiative. Manda Traylor, an admin for the Kenilworth WhatsApp group, says on Saturday 11 July, members had a meeting to ask the
EL ED
question whether they should continue feeding people in Kenilworth. Traylor says the answer was an emphatic “yes”. “We aim to keep this project going until the end of September,” she adds. In the past few months, the CAN group has reached out to a number of families, many of whom are in the restaurant and service industries. Traylor says they have found several of these households have no income at all at present. “Even if people start to work towards the end of August or September, many restaurants or businesses are only taking back some staff and they will only get paid at the
end of the month.” Traylor says the food parcel, whilst relatively modest, has enabled them to keep going. “Their resilience, bravery and gratitude have touched all of us who have delivered parcels, week by week. This is the face of the Covid-19 pandemic up close in our suburb. Many have small children under six years old or children writing matric.” Kenilworth CAN aims to hand out 30 parcels per week from now until September. Each parcel contains goods to the value of R300. “Tania Hass and Simone Griffiths, who sort out the logistics, are able to source a surprisingly large three-packet food parcel for

this amount,” Traylor says. To achieve their goal, the group will need the continued support of local businesses and residents. “Your generosity, both in financial donations and the donation of food items into trolleys at Woolworths Main Road, Kenilworth, and Woolworths Kenilworth Centre, as well as in person at our collection point, Callow House in Richmond Road, has enabled us to keep going all through June and July. Thank you so, so much! You are the enablers of this entire project,” Traylor says. V For more information, see Kenilworth CAN’s Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/cankenilworth/.

Help trace family
THEY ARE ‘HAIR’ FOR HOMELESS: On Mandela Day, Saturday 18 July, Sane Igboanugo, founder of Afro Sundae, and her team of eight donned masks, face guards and gloves and headed out to treat 30 homeless people at Cape Town’s Haven Night Shelter to luxurious hair treatments. “We know that many of us have really missed our visits to the hairdresser during lockdown. But the people at the shelter have not been privileged to take care of their hair for an even longer time. In fact, with the global Covid-19 pandemic, hair care is definitely not a priority – especially when you have food and shelter to worry about. Some of the guests at the shelter had not had an opportunity to care for their hair for over five years and we wanted to change that,” said Igboanugo.

verybody needs to ensure their personal safety, including children,” says Kelee Arrowsmith who will present free self-defence videos online in partnership with People’s Post and City Vision. Arrowsmith founded ACT (Advanced Conflict Training) Personal Safety in response to a life-changing attack which happened about 20 years ago. At the time, she was working as a repo agent.. “One day I went to pick up a big screen TV from a rather large lady who really did not want to give it back. I tried to convince her that it was the right thing to do, but in short, she picked me up and threw me down a flight of stairs,” she writes on the company website. Having survived the harrowing ordeal, she began to develop a safety methodology that would work for anyone – from a housewife to a businessman and everyone in between. Personal safety, Arrowsmith says, is more about prevention than being physically ready for a fight. “It’s the mental preparation, learning to set boundaries, learning about awareness, learning what the bad guy looks like,” she explains. “Being safe has a lot more to do with prevention than actually physically getting into it. I would say about 90% of violent confrontations can be prevented by doing things before you get into the attack.” While her client-base is mainly women, she says men can also benefit from learning about personal safety. “Most of our clients are women because women tend to feel a lot more vulnerable than men. They enrol to defend them-
selves against the ‘bad guys’.” But, she adds: “We get men who have really thought through their personal safety – like what would they do if two criminals kicked their doors in and rushed in with guns.” With South Africa suffering the scourge of domestic violence and gender-based violence, Arrowsmith says women especially will benefit from learning the principles of personal safety and self-defence. “It gives you a lot of confidence and a lot more awareness. Once you start doing selfdefence of any kind, your surroundings become a lot more important to you, you start to look at things differently; so that would make a big difference to your safety,” she explains. But Arrowsmith adds that being mentally prepared for a confrontation, if the situation escalates that far, is beneficial. “If a woman knows some basic self-defence, it will make a massive difference (in an altercation). But she has to be mentally prepared to go through with whatever physical things she decides to do, because just one kick in the groin most likely isn’t going to just end that type of violence – especially if it’s a spouse,” she says. The online events will cover six topics: . Ever wondered what a bad guy “looks” like? . The spicy side of your pepper spray. . Here’s how your kids can protect themselves. .

Gang violence claimed the life of my close friend on Saturday 13 June. His crime? Being wrongfully identified by a gang member. The pain of losing him was too great to confront, but the murder of Nathaniel Abrahams (17) in Bonteheuwel on Thursday 2 July has moved me from rage to action. Nathaniel, like my friend, was not a gangster. And yet our families, our communities, and our city have been robbed of potential role models – young men with bright futures. Gangs have a deep history in the Cape. You might even begin to call it a culture. For many, it is a rite of passage. If gangs are entrenched in the everyday life of so many Cape Town residents; if their actions maintain the status quo, maintain peace and law and order, how do we eradicate them? How do we save our future generations? Gangs exist because young people hunger for a purpose and a place to belong. When we cannot find that sense of belonging in our home or purpose in our study or job, joining a gang is an obvious way out. That’s why, to solve our youth’s culture of gangsterism, we have to deal with the root causes. Firstly, a job is what the youth in Cape Town needs. An opportunity to study is what will brighten the future of our communities. What the residents on the Cape Flats do not need is another political leader who behaves like their local gangster. With more than 50% of youth unemployed in South Africa, we need our political leaders to create an economy that can create jobs or help our youth to enrol at a college. Secondly, how are young boys supposed to develop a sense of belonging without their fathers? In the Western Cape, six out of 10 boys are born without their fathers being present. The youth will not easily admit it, but they need their parents. Whether your father left before you were born, spends his time drinking on the corner with his chommies, or rather beats his children and your mother instead of solving his problems, in each case he is absent. It is this absence that makes it easier to join a gang because they give you a sense of belonging that our fathers are supposed to create in our homes. The reality is that many of our country’s political leaders are falling short, our fathers are absent, and our friends are being caught in gang crossfire. These problems are big, but we can overcome them. We must take our communities back. The Covid-19 pandemic has shown us that when we are faced with a crisis, South Africans will come together in miraculous ways. We need the same approach to overcome the gang-violence epidemic. The national government must fix the police now, community neighbourhood watches must continue their good work, and each resident must make sure that their young children take advantage of every single opportunity to break the cycle of gangsterism. If we do this together, we will take our futures back. DONOVAN NELSON Grassy Park

COVID-19
Numbers differ, but accurate SAMANTHA LEE-JACOBS SAMANTHA.LEE@PEOPLESPOST.CO.ZA @SAMANTHA_LEE121
I
f discrepancies in the Covid-19 cases reported at national and provincial levels have made you raise an eyebrow, the provincial government says there is no need for alarm. From its first reported case, the Western Cape has taken several strides to best prepare for the Covid-19 pandemic, with accelerated testing, community screening and mass testing sites in hotspots as some of the main approaches in this fight. This was also the reason for the high case number in the province, as they state it was the fact that more people had been tested. In recent weeks, People’s Post has noticed large discrepancies in the numbers reported
at provincial and national level. The most recent statistics available at the time of going to print still shows this discrepancy. On Sunday 2 August, the national government’s statistics for the Western Cape stated there were 96 838 confirmed cases in the province, with 3 117 deaths and 80 956 – a total of 12 765 active cases. The Western Cape’s statistics released by premier Alan Winde at 13:00 on Sunday stated there were 94 691, 3105 deaths and 10 630 active cases. One common factor is the recoveries at 80 956. This amounts to 12 additional deaths and an overall discrepancy of 2 147 cases. The national department of health had not commented at the time of going to print. Winde however says even though the numbers differ, all test results are tracked and accounted for. He further adds that the difference in the
data reported by the Western Cape and national health department can be as a result of two factors. The first being timing. “The cut off for our data is 13:00 on the day. The national government cut off is later, and therefore, often reflects a higher total, as more test data would have been received,” says Winde. The second reason is that the provincial government receives data directly from private labs. “This means we get this data first and then send it on to the national government. Public sector data comes from the National Health Laboratory Service, which means the national department gets this data first and then sends it on to us. “This means that there can be a lag between our data and theirs, and at specific moments in time, our results may differ
UCT opts for remote teaching The University of Cape Town (UCT) will finish the 2020 academic year through remote teaching. Explaining UCT’s reasons for this, associate Prof Lis Lange, the deputy vice-chancellor for teaching and learning, said while the country was currently experiencing the predicted peak of Covid-19 infection, the university had been advised that another peak is likely to occur in August. “We will not be able to maintain the necessary social distancing if we return to faceto-face teaching in campus lecture halls and other academic spaces in the fourth term. Nor will we be able to accommodate all students in residence under safe conditions. Taking this into account as well as what we have learnt from the experience of remote teaching in quarter two, we are continuing the second semester of 2020 in the same way,” Lange said. The amended calendar will be aligned with the phased return of students, including those registered in performing arts courses and those needing to undertake practical blocks. “The phased return will also continue, by invitation, for select groups of postgraduate research students who need to use oncampus facilities to complete their research projects, where this can be accommodated appropriately,” a UCT statement read. It further stated that the second semester would have 64 teaching days and 13 days of vacation between Monday 21 September and Sunday 4 October, and it listed the following academic calendar amendments: . Term 3 will start on Monday 3 August and end on Friday 18 September. . Term 4 will start on Monday 5 October and end on Friday 13 November. . From Monday 5 October to Friday 16 October, there will be a practical block for the second term component of the first semester. . From Monday 19 October to Friday 13 November, there will be a practical block for second semester courses. . Consolidation will take place between Monday 16 and Wednesday 18 November.
. Exams for the second semester courses will start on Thursday 19 November and end on Wednesday 9 December. . Exams for first semester courses will start on Thursday 10 December and end on Tuesday 22 December. The faculty of engineering and the built environment and the faculty of health sciences, due to their specific requirements, will manage their calendars in a slightly different way. However, they will also be teaching remotely. “We are well aware that many students would prefer to return to university residences. We need to manage simultaneously students’ needs, health risks and the availability of safe spaces under lockdown conditions. Therefore, we will continue with a phased approach for the return of students, where possible or needed,” said Lange. UCT has stated that, during September and October, different groups of students will be invited to return to campus to complete work in their courses. “Some of these students will be invited to return to residences, while others, who did not live in residence accommodation earlier this year, will be invited to come back to campus.” The identification of these students will be done centrally in collaboration with the faculties and the department of student affairs. The university will make specific announcements as to how this will take place within the next month.
from those of the national health department. This evens out once all results are captured at all institutions,” says Winde. Both president Cyril Ramaphosa and health minister Dr Zwele Mkhize have acknowledged that the province’s numbers have been easing. Regardless of the data source, both figures show more recoveries daily than additional infections, indicating the province may be past its peak. Ramaphosa and Winde has however warned that a spike could still occur should pressure in response ease at this stage. In total, more than 3 million tests have been conducted in the country. According to Mkhize, South Africa has also surpassed half a million infections with the recent total at 511 485 by Sunday. There have been 8 366 and 347 227 recoveries which translates to a recovery rate of 68%.

LANSDOWNE
Ma Newman beats virus A
93-year-old Lansdowne resident is one of the oldest people in the Western Cape to survive Covid-19. Katherine Dorothy Newman recently recovered from the virus. Born in October 1926 in Claremont, she was later relocated to Lansdowne as a result of the apartheid group areas act. Her son William says his mom, known as Aunty Dorothy or Ma Newman to many, has indeed been exposed to many hardships in life. “As a divorced mother she has been a pillar of strength raising the family, and during trying times provided us with the best love, care and education to build successful careers,” he says. Over the last nine years, she has been a resident at Huis Nuweland retirement home, where she has always been warmly cared for. “Huis Nuweland was very proactive in this regard,” explains William. “They put in place the highest levels of control to limit the impact on their much-loved residents and valued staff.” These strict protocols were put in place since the early days of Covid-19 in the Western Cape. On Tuesday 2 June, the staff informed the family that Katherine was coughing and on the doctors advice was tested for Covid-19. “This was indeed very worrying news for the family, given our mom’s advanced age, but the family was comforted by the knowledge of the home’s preparedness for this situation,” explains William. During this time, Katherine was cared for under the strict Covid-19 protocols at the home. However, after later displaying breathing difficulties the doctor advised that she be hospitalised and she was admitted to Groote Schuur Hospital. At the hospital she received the necessary care and treatment and after improvement she was transferred to the Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC) Hospital of Hope. Her condition improved to the extent that she was fit enough to return to the home on Friday 3 July. “Indeed this has been a very worrying time for the family. The fact that we could not see her while she was hospitalised was
Katherine Dorothy Newman (93) has recovered from Covid-19. very sad and trying for the family. However, in the context of the Covid-19 protocols we had to accept this, knowing that it was the best for everyone,” says William. “With Huis Nuweland implementing strict Covid19 protocols we already had very limited contact with her since March. We had to remain strong and trust all the doctors, health care personnel and home carers to provide their professional service and show the love on our behalf, which I know they did.” He further explains that it has been a trying and confusing time for their mother, having been moved between Huis Nuweland and the various hospitals and back. Having to experience the unknown, surrounded only by unfamiliar doctors and healthcare workers with no family members close by was not easy, he says. William shares that his mother has shown her fighting tenacity, which has been her hallmark all her life.
“Given her advanced age, we are very grateful that our mom has overcome this big challenge in her life. I would like to express the family’s sincere thanks and gratitude for the care provided by the doctors, health care personnel and home carers who have all contributed to her recovery and well-being,” says William. “Our thoughts also go out to the families of those who have not been as fortunate as our mom. To those who have been struck by this virus, I want them to take inspiration from our mom and to have faith. To the doctors and health care workers and home carers – keep up the good work. You are the soldiers at the forefront of this unknown war being thrust upon the whole world. Also, I would like to express our sincere gratitude to the presidency and national and provincial government health departments for their assertive leadership and provision of facilities to fight this pandemic.”
Isolation reduced to 10 days National health minister, Dr Zweli Mkhize, has announced a reduction in the minimum isolation period for positive Covid-19 cases from 14 to 10 days. “This recommendation is based on evidence that most patients with a mild Covid19 infection continue to shed the virus from their upper airways for approximately seven to 12 days. Furthermore, the presence of detectable virus when testing does not necessarily imply infectiousness. It has been proven that in mild cases, virus cultures are generally only positive for eight to nine days after symptom onset,” says Mkhize. The duration of infectiousness in patients with severe disease (in other words requir-
ing admission due to clinical instability) is less well established. In general, patients with severe disease may continue to shed the virus at higher levels for longer periods than patients with mild disease, he says. “To provide a buffer, it is recommended that such patients be de-isolated 10 days after clinical stability has been achieved, rather than 10 days after symptom onset. To illustrate this in simple terms, if a patient was admitted and placed on oxygen, we advise that when the oxygen supplementation is discontinued, the patient must remain in isolation for another 10 days,” he says. He adds the guidelines have been guided by the World Health Organisation (WHO).
The Ministerial Advisory Committee, however, initially submitted a proposed reduction to eight days. After considering this advice the National Coronavirus Command resolved to reduce the number to 10 days. He did however state that this may differ from case to case. “The recommended isolation time is the period during which a patient is still considered infectious. This should be distinguished from the point at which a patient is medically well enough to return to work. Some patients, especially those who have had severe disease, may require to be booked off sick for longer than the above isolation periods,” says Mkhize.
Soup kitchen on hold during school break AVRIL FILLIES Staff and learners of Athwood Primary School, in Hanover Park, were thrilled at the beginning of the year by the possibility of a fully furnished mobile soup kitchen, a joint venture between the school and one of the country’s leading retailers. The set up of the kitchen began on the premises, but the Covid-19 pandemic put breaks on the project. As part of the plan, the retailer would donate the cooking ingredients to feed the learners during the week. “We were looking forward to the soup kitchen where the food would be prepared on the premises,” says Evan Petersen, the school’s principal. He adds that they have community organisations and volunteers that donated pots, and the donation would have enabled the school to feed the learners twice a week.
“When schools were closed my biggest concern was where will the learners and children from the community of Hanover Park get the one meal that they received once a week at the school. I opened my school during the lockdown and with the help of parents from Bishops Preparatory School and the organisation Charity Book we fed approximately 160 children per day,” he says. But the running of the kitchen during the lockdown was also put on hold as only a portion of the learners were able to make their way to the school. Petersen felt it would be unfair that some learners receive a meal while the others are still at home. “After schools could reopen we fed those that were present, but I felt that the situation was not what we envisaged at the beginning of the year and decided to wait with the
soup kitchen till the school is at full capacity,” says Petersen. However, the retailer wanted to do something for the school and on Wednesday 15 July it donated spekboom trees to be planted on the premises. The trees are part of a garden project currently being rolled out at the school. As soon as lockdown is over the kitchen project will continue to provide children with food. “We work with Fiona Jackson as our project facilitator. The container for the soup kitchen was sponsored by the Good Deeds Organisation, headed by Dr Azgher Karjiker, a graduate of the University of Cape Town, who started the organisation in conjunction with other medical students to help disadvantaged communities. Ashraf Allie from the NPO Cape Winds is the facilitator of this project,” Petersen says.

Places of worship remain reluctant SAMANTHA LEE-JACOBS @Samantha_Lee121
M
ore than two months since places of worship were allowed to open their doors, when the country moved to level three of the national lockdown, on Monday 1 June, the majority remain closed. While the decision was generally welcomed, most religious groups have opted to take a cautious approach. The Muslim Judicial Council of South Africa (MJC) said they decided to keep their institutions shut. “The MJC after consultation with its General Majlis and the Fatwa department ... recommend that Masajid delay opening their doors for congregational prayers. Strict adherence to these regulations is a must for the safety and welfare of congregants. We also recommend a staggered approach and to not start with 50 persons, but to rather slowly phase in the number of persons starting from a small number and gradually increasing it.” The South African Jewish Board of Deputies also expressed concerns about the potential risks of reopening the shuls in the country. Several other religious institutions have indicated that they too would not open until it may be safer to do so. The South African Council of Churches (SACC) also “cautiously welcomed” the decision. SACC general secretary Bishop Malusi Mpumlwana says they fully supported the need for churches to suspend activity during lockdown in order to contain the spread of Covid-19. “We receive the announcement not so much with a sense of euphoria, but as a moment that requires deep reflection about the
enormous responsibility that we must now exercise,” he says. “We have been convening SACC National Church Leaders Weekly Covid Watch meetings since the beginning of the lockdown, where church leaders have been developing guidelines, norms and standards for member churches and affiliate groups of churches, to protect lives at worship during the Covid-19 pandemic and beyond, and hold each other accountable.” Reverend Barry Isaacs, chair of the Western Cape Concerned Clergy, says the pandemic has forced religious congregants to create sacred ground in their homes through the use of technology. “What needs to be understood is that even though the church doors were closed, church life and sacred activities did not stop. The ministers and church leadership sought different online platforms to meet virtually with their congregants.” “The church has moved from buildings to become the ‘church online’ More and more online platforms are opening. As a result the church has repositioned themselves and have become explosive in their outreach to those who never in the past went to a church building.” Apostle Robert Worship, of the New Apostolic Church (NAC), agrees. “In accordance with the government’s regulations, the church was forced into making temporary changes in the way it operates. Despite this, members were still able to experience divine services conducted by the chief apostle, district apostle, and various apostles in the comfort of their homes,” he says. “The initial services were conducted at the NAC administration office in Southfield and were beamed via the New Apostolic Church Television Channel (NACTV). It
broadcasts full programming seven days a week, to homes of members and whoever wishes to tune in. Divine services on Sunday mornings are currently conducted in Silvertown congregation and are made available to watch and listen to on (various platforms).” The church has more than 220 000 members in the Western Cape and streams its services via Youtube, Cape Town TV, Facebook, radio stations, its own TV channel and telephone. Service summaries are also sent to congregants via email. Worship says since the start of lockdown, it has been the collective congregation’s spiritual desire to return to divine services in local congregations. “With the announcement by president Ramaphosa that religious services may resume in level three of lockdown, the general response from our members was positive, with many eager to return to their place of worship. Some members have also voiced their concerns, and rightfully so. The church wants to ensure their members that the measures our national leaders put in place are not taken lightly as it could have some serious repercussions for the full spectrum of our society if it is not obeyed. The church pledges its full support towards all the measures announced and is committed to adhering to them as best as we possibly can,” he says. Isaacs says contact is missed. “Person-toperson ministry has always had a place in the church. Initially the decision to close the church doors was difficult to accept, as the concept of not gathering together for many congregants was unacceptable. Congregants love gathering in person, face-to-face. This has been the practice since the inception of the church,” he says.
But resuming services was met with mixed emotions. “On one side of the coin (we are) happy that the restrictions on the church are lifted and their doors are opening, and on the other side of the coin (is) the present dangers of the deadly pandemic, Covid-19, which is on the increase in the Western Cape. Our goal is not to scare anyone, but reduce public gatherings where there is an increased risk of exposure,” Isaacs says. He continues that spiritual leaders have a responsibility to shield members from Covid-19 as the present dangers of the deadly virus is too great to ignore. Isaacs says the pressures put on government to reopen churches may not have been the best decision as infections continued to rise. “This lockdown, isn’t what many would call persecution, this is about saving lives. So I say to all spiritual leaders lets lead by example,” says Isaacs. During his address to the nation Ramaphosa acknowledged South Africans as a people of “deep faith” and the toll the pandemic has taken on residents both emotionally and spiritually. He called on religious leaders ensure that any religious rituals that carry even the slightest possibility of exposing worshippers to risk should be avoided. Places of worship are allowed to conduct their services with a limit of 50 people or less depending on the space available. Social distancing and wearing of face masks are mandatory and protocols must be in place for, among other things, thoroughly cleaning and sanitising places for worship before and after services.

Spar keeps vulnerable communities fed S
par has teamed up with the Consumer Goods Council of South Africa (CGCSA) and the department of social development to provide food and essential items to thousands of vulnerable people. Distribution centres countrywide are in the process of packing and distributing food parcels to hunger-ravaged communities. Over a three-
month period, more than 24 000 parcels of essential foods and personal items amounting to over R12 million will be distributed to communities in need. Spar Western Cape, having coordinated the first massive packing logistics, was ready to deliver the first parcels last week. Robert Brink, Spar Western Cape marketing director, says: “This a sig-
nificant contribution from Spar and hopefully we can consider a longerterm commitment to this, once we have had an opportunity to see how the relationship develops over the next three months. In light of some negative publicity surrounding food parcels going missing, we need to be sure that we are indeed reaching our most vulnerable.�

OBSERVATORY
Forensic facility near completion T
he Covid-19 pandemic has placed massive delays on the construction of the provincial government forensic pathology facility at Groote Schuur Hospital. The expanded R281 million facility is more than 90% complete and is expected to reach practical completion by the end of the year, if the final project phase goes according to plan. The facility will set new standards within the forensic pathology sphere and enhance service delivery. In a statement, the provincial department of health said there had been a few delays regarding specifications of various infrastructure details. However, construction resumed more than two month ago, on Monday 18 May.
The department added that the Observatory Forensic Pathology Institute (OFPI) is a complex structure with extreme regulated and specific ventilation, drainage, and safety requirements, as well as sophisticated audio, visual and digital specifics. These have added sourcing and procurement issues, which have led to some delays. These crucial dynamics and specification hurdles have been solved by the competent team assigned to the project. With a mission to transform the work of the Provincial Forensic Pathology Service, the 10 399 square metre facility will provide thorough integration. Professor Lorna Martin, head of the clinical department forensic medicine and toxicology, says: “In addition to the efficient workflow, staff will work in a healthy and safe environment, compliant with all OHS guidelines.” She adds that the design of the new and improved facility is more modern and built to be light. There will also be various green spaces throughout. She concludes, saying: “The latest technology will be provided for the medico-legal investigation of death, and staff are excited and look forward to The forensic pathology facility at Groote Schuur Hospital’s current the occupation progress. day.”
ASPIRE TO INSPIRE
By Zintle Maliwa, Marketing Assistant: Corporate Communications & Marketing College of Cape Town In the words of Nelson Mandela, "Education is the most powerful weapon you can use to change the world." Education is fundamental to development and growth. Growth, development and poverty reduction is dependent on the knowledge and skills acquired. Two College of Cape Town lecturers “aspire to inspire” others, through education and equality of all citizens.
Dr. Charles Mbayi completed his PhD in Mathematics and Mrs. Noreth Muller-Kluits was selected to render an oral presentation at the Social Work Education and Social Development (SWESD) Conference in Rimini, Italy. The oral presentation will be based on her abstract titled: “Social Work and Rehabilitation – ensuring a free and just society inclusive of all persons with disabilities as equal citizens.” The abstract forms part of her current doctoral research study she's currently pursuing. Lecturer graduates with PhD in Mathematics Dr. Charles Mbayi, a lecturer at Pinelands Campus recently graduated with a PhD in Mathematics from the University of Western Cape. His passion for teaching and learning has inspired him to study mathematics. Dr. Mbayi pursued his tertiary education in his home country, the Democratic Republic of Congo. After obtaining his Bachelor’s degree in Statistic Mathematics and spending ten years as a Mathematics lecturer, he relocated to South Africa.
Lecturer set to render an oral presentation at the SWESD Conference in Italy Mrs. Noreth Muller-Kluits, a lecturer at the Crawford Campus, in the NC(V) Primary Health Department, has her abstract selected for oral presentation at the Social Work Education and Social Development (SWESD) Conference in Rimini, Italy. The abstract is based on “Social Work and Rehabilitation – ensuring a free and just society inclusive of all persons with disabilities as equal citizens” is based on her current doctoral research study she is pursuing. The focus of the oral presentation will demonstrate how social work can contribute to the rehabilitation of persons with disabilities, especially when integrating into society. This conference will be hosted by the International Association of Schools of Social Work (IASSW) and the International Council on Social Welfare (ICSW). The conference planned to take place in June 2020, but due to the global COVID-19 pandemic outbreak was postponed to November 2020. The interest in disability has developed over the years, she has both a personal and professional background in the eld. She has been involved with disability awareness at the college, including in 2018 facilitating an awareness talk hosted by NC(V) Primary Health Level 2 students on the accessibility of Crawford campus which was attended by College Executive. She is currently doing her doctoral degree in social work at Stellenbosch University focusing on experiences of adults with an acquired physical disability on social work support. She enjoys doing qualitative research as it provides participants with the opportunity to share their stories. She hopes to be able to further advocate for persons with disabilities as a minority group that could affect anyone at any time.
Once settled in South Africa, Dr. Mbayi obtained his Master’s degree, Mathematics and Applied Mathematics from the University of the Western Cape. He then joined the academic team at the College of Cape Town, Pinelands Campus as a Mathematics lecturer. Dr. Mbayi uses every opportunity to encourage students to be passionate about Mathematics and the application thereof. “My passion for mathematics grew during my high school career. Solving math problems gives me a real pleasure as it allows for both critical and relative thinking. I remember when I was in high school, I was always good in mathematics than any other subjects. “I enjoy calculations and numbers” said Dr. Mbayi.

My geliefde het my gelos, ek het 2 hofsake gehad en 33 jaar gewerk en geen geld gehet. Gelukkig lees ek van Tania, wie toe vir my gelukkige LOTTO nommers gee (7, 9, 12, 14, 19, 25). In November verlede jaar het die geluk my getref met die Lotto. My finansiĂŤle probleme was opgelos, my hofsake was gekanselleer en ek het weer liefde gevind. Hulle het ook gehelp met derde party-eise en pensioenfonds-uitbetalings.

Virus puts paid to Sevens W
orld Rugby announced on Wednesday 29 July the Cape Town leg of the HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series – provisionally scheduled for Wednesday 4 to Friday 6 December this year – has been cancelled due to the ongoing and dynamic global nature of the Covid-19 pandemic. Additionally, the Dubai leg of the series, with which the Cape Town event is paired, has also been cancelled. According to a statement released by SA Rugby last week, the events were due to be the first two legs of the 10-tournament 2020/2021 HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series. World Rugby, its partners, SA Rugby and the Dubai organisers undertook a comprehensive consultation process and constructive dialogue to reach the conclusion. The decisions were taken in line with relevant government and international public health authority advice and with the health and wellbeing of the rugby community and the wider public taking precedence. Cape Town – and Dubai – are due to return to a full series schedule in 2021.
“This is a very disappointing development, but far from unexpected,” said Jurie Roux, SA Rugby CEO. “The opening of air borders remains uncertain; the requirements of quarantining and the need for preparation time for teams really left us no choice. And even if we had been able to fly in 28 teams, the likelihood is that we would have had to play behind closed doors.” The decision follows the recently announced conclusion of the World Rugby Sevens Series (due to the Covid-19 pandemic), with New Zealand confirmed as both men’s and women’s champions. The Singapore, Hong Kong, London and Paris legs of the series had to be cancelled, with World Rugby and its partners now continuing to focus on planning for the remainder of the 2020/2021 series and the build-up to the Tokyo Olympic Games. World Rugby CEO Brett Gosper said: “We look forward to welcoming these wonderful destinations back to the series after this year’s hiatus.”
