ATHLONE

No to these speed humps AVRIL FILLIES

elgravia Road in Athlone does not meet the City of Cape Town’s Traffic Calming directives for building of speed humps. This is the reply by Felicity Purchase, Mayco member for transport, after a complaint by Belgravia resident Tabrez Sayed, who said motorists are using the road as a racetrack. “I have been living in Belgravia for the past ten years and have witnessed animals being ripped apart or drunk drivers that ignore stop signs. The noise from the cars speeding down Belgravia Road is enough to give you a heart attack and we have sickly, senior citizens living in the area. In Belgravia we also have a lot of schools and crèches and the kids are using the road,” Sayed says. His suggestion is to put humps in Belgravia Road as there are four blocks separated in each avenue from Lower Klipfontein to Veld roads and the humps will reduce speeding early in the morning. Sayed also mentions that schools, churches, crèches or mosques are only found from 1st to 8th Avenue in Belgravia. “There is a speed hump by the Wembley Roadhouse and the owner paid for it himself. According to my research speed humps would assist our kids to cross the busy and dangerous Belgravia Road,” Sayed says. Purchase said Belgravia Road is a Class 4 Collector Street and/or Class 5 Local Street, close to public facilities and schools. “The highest concentration of vulnerable road users are typically encountered here and is the primary focus of attention,” Purchase says. “Belgravia Road is a Class 4 Route, which functions as a Class 3 Route, as it is a public transport and emergency route through the area and plays a vital role in supporting the

greater road network, linking Klipfontein Road (M18), Kromboom Road (M43), Repulse Road, Lawson Road and (further South to Lawson) Turfhall Road (M24), in which case it is important for mobility to be retained. “Belgravia Road has relatively straight and even alignment with a travel way of approximately 8.5m from kerb to kerb and offers good sight distance along its length. One of the accesses to Heatherton Primary School fronts onto Belgravia Road, and there is an access to the rear of the College of Cape Town, where the City has installed a signalised pedestrian crossing and advanced school warning signage,” she says. Following a meeting with business owners and the City’s Traffic Services, the Transport Network Development department supported implementation of a large 30m long raised table at the intersection of Belgravia and Denchworth roads, due to high vehicle and pedestrian activity. This was to be implemented at the cost of a local business, Purchase says. “Further to this, we have assessed most of the roads identified in the letter. However, they have not all met policy directives either. “We are supporting speed humps for Seventh Avenue, Veld Road and St Athans Road and these will be constructed in the coming financial year 2020/’21. The current Traffic Calming Policy does however make allowance for consideration of non-school sites “where there has been a recent serious incident”. If, therefore, there is a history of such recent serious incidents that we are unaware of, there may be opportunity to consider a request for calming in terms of that policy provision (subject to compliance with other policy provisions). Typically, this option would require external funding,” Purchase says.

The students that attended the skills programme at the Cape Flats Development Association (Cafda) centre in Philippi graduated on Friday 8 November. Cafda provides much-needed support to individuals from less privileged backgrounds. “Cafda provides opportunities to people to gain qualifications that can allow them to earn a living. “For a couple of years now, Muslim Hands in Rylands Estate, Athlone, has been sponsoring individuals to gain skills training and development with Cafda. This year, Muslim Hands provided full sponsorships to 40 students, who attained qualifications in plumbing, electrical and welding,” says Aisha Adam, spokesperson for Muslim Hands. On Friday, the students graduated, attaining qualifications that can change their lives. The training provides them with a means to start afresh, get employed, earn a living, and support their families.

They all thanked the organisation for making this possible. Sheikh Haashim Peck, programmes manager for Muslim Hands, said they are happy to be part of the project. “It gives a sense of satisfaction to know that Muslim Hands has an involvement towards the development of individuals who want to make a positive difference for them-

selves,” he says. Dignitaries present at the event included president and first deputy president of the MJC, Sheikh Erefaan Abrahams and Moulana Abdul Khaliq Allie. Taj Aklekar, senior board member of Cafda was also present and thanked Muslim Hands for reaching out to the students and choosing Cafda as a partner.

MOVEMBER

Speaking out on men’s health NOMZAMO YUKU @NomzamoYuku

he Public is urged to support the annual Movember Campaign aimed at raising awareness about men’s health. This appeal was made during the informal discussion about the topic at the Groote Schuur Hospital on Thursday 7 November. The discussion was a collaboration between two non-profit organisations (NPOs), Project Peacock and Men’s Foundation.

Dr Justin Howlett, a urologist at Groote Schuur Hospital, represented Project Peacock as he is its co-founder, while Men’s Foundation was represented by Garron Gsell, the chief executive and its founder. They were joined by a prostate cancer survivor Jacob Abrahams who is one of the patients the campaign has helped. They all spoke about men’s health issues with more focus on prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health and suicide prevention. They also touched on challenges

faced by the affected people, and the availability of treatment. They also talked about the fairly new Low Dose Rate (LDR) brachytherapy exclusively available at Groote Schuur. Howlett says LDR is a form of radiation therapy that helps mostly if the diagnosis is done at the early stage of cancer and guarantees a cure. He says since the treatment was discovered under the belt of Project Peacock, it has so far helped 36 men in two years at an average cost of R35 000

per patient. Howlett says the price is lower than in the private sector, which has in the past made it impossible for most men to access the treatment due to the high cost. He says the treatment at Groote Schuur is made possible through the kindness of initiatives such as Movember led by Men’s Foundation. This is an international foundation focusing on raising awareness and supporting healthy living among men, creating platforms for discussion, fundraising, and support structures to make it comfortable to seek help and talk about the issues. Gsell says that though over the years there has been an improvement in eradicating the stigmas related to men’s issues, there is still a long way to go. He says funding is still a priority, followed by the availability of sustainable healthcare systems focusing on men. Gsell says LDR is one of the few successful initiatives they have supported. Gsell appeals to people to consider donating towards Project Peacock and help a man live longer. Abrahams was diagnosed with prostate cancer at the beginning of the year and received LDR. He says he had a good experience with it. As a pensioner, Abrahams did not have to pay for the treatment and is grateful to those who donated money and made his journey a smooth ride. “I usually went for testing every year. I happened to skip one year (2018) and to my shock, I tested positive this year. I was so scared, I did not have much knowledge about the availability of treatment. But when I found out I did not have to go far to get the help, I was so relieved,” says Abrahams. He says because his family is genetically prone to prostate cancer, it was not difficult for him to talk about it and seek help.

‘Early diagnosis saved my life’ F

or financial planner Darren Robertson (42), his prostate cancer diagnosis a year ago was the beginning of a journey which took him from the first visit to urologist Dr Karlheinz Jehle, to a friendship that has seen the two men riding the three-day FNB Wines2Whales Mountain Bike Race together this year. Robertson is a Mo Bro for Movember (www.za.movember.com), a global men’s health charity tackling prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health and suicide prevention. Robertson describes his cancer journey as being “surprisingly positive”. But that doesn’t mean it was easy. He and his wife Loren first heard he had prostate cancer about eight months after the birth of their daughter Rebecca. Robertson was diagnosed with Stage 1 cancer, but a full biopsy carried out after his prostate and seminal vessels were removed in January, showed that his cancer was actually stage 3, and that it had invaded his lymph nodes. “I was lucky,” he says. “If I had not gone for the check up, and if my GP had not suggested a full blood test and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) measurement, it would have been a very different story.” It was during one of his check-ups with Dr Jehle that the two men got talking about mountain biking. “He had some mountain biking pictures on the wall, and it wasn’t long before we decided to go on some rides,” Robertson says. Dr Jehle says he didn’t imagine it would lead to them undertaking the Wines2Whales (28 to 30 October) together. “But when Darren suggested to me that it would be a great way to spread the Movember word about the importance of early detection and regular check-ups, I agreed immediately,” he says.

Jehle lauds Robertson for his bravery in speaking out about his prostate cancer diagnosis. The disease is the leading cancer among South African men. As many as one in five South African men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime, with black men more likely to get a more aggressive form of prostate cancer, and at a younger age. “Men are dying too soon because they are not going for screenings. The rule of thumb is to have your prostate checked at 45 if you are black or if you have a family history of the disease, and at 50 for everyone else. But if you are worried, go sooner,” he says. “Early detection of prostate cancer can make all the difference. It is so important that Dr Karlheinz Jehle and Darren Robertson ready to take on the Wines2Whales Mountain Bike Race.

HEALTH

Choose your poison carefully A

simple test to see how many cockroaches are lurking in the crevices is to switch a light on outside after dark. There is no arguing that the warmer months coincide with an increase in flies, cockroaches and rodents. City health says although pesticide poisoning rates have declined in recent years, the prevalence of deadly illegal pesticides remains a concern. The department urges residents to steer clear of using illegal pesticides to deal with their pest problems this summer. Cheap pesticides – like Two-Step, Green Leaf sachets for cockroaches and flies, Aldicarb, liquid poison mixtures, slug granules and insecticide chalk sticks – are still being sold at some corner shops and informal traders. While it might seem like a cost-effective solution to many, users could end up paying with their lives. City’s Mayco member for community services and health Zahid Badroodien says buying illegal pesticides can have far-reaching effects, including death. “Many of these products are illegal because they can be lethal to humans or household pets. However, they remain in circulation, because they are effective and affordable,” he says. Badroodien says users often don’t realise how dangerous these substances are, because there is no usage pamphlet included, or if the product is imported, the packaging contains a foreign language. “Not only are we concerned about how

these products keep making their way into the local market, but also about the accidental ingestion, disposal and impact on the environment.” City Health is among several agencies on the inter-sectoral Pesticide Poisoning Action Group (PPAG). Other participants are Law Enforcement, the police and the department of agriculture, forestry and fisheries. PPAG conducts regular pesticide raids, combined with education and awareness about the risks of handling illegal pesticides and how to distinguish between these and legally sanctioned substances. In the last financial year (July 2018 – June 2019), City Health recorded 32 cases of pesticide poisoning. “We don’t disagree that summertime pests are a challenge; rather it’s how they are dealt with that needs attention. Flies, roaches and rodents are attracted to food sources presented by household waste and food that’s been left out, including pet food and waste. “We encourage residents to use this as a starting point which can help them manage the prevalence of pests in their immediate surroundings,” adds Badroodien. Pest management tips include: . Refrain from illegal dumping; . Keep household bins or bin bags sealed, dry (where possible) and stored in a cool place; . Wash and disinfect your bin after every removal; . Keep your refuse bags out of reach of

Adopt a water safety mindset at the beach For most Capetonians, summer holidays are all about the sun and the sea. But there is another word starting with an “s” that should be at the top of everyone’s list: safety. The National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI) urges the public to adopt a water safety mindset around coastal and inland waters this festive season. Craig Lambinon, spokesperson for Sea Rescue, says the number one rule for a safe experience at the beach, is to choose a beach that has lifeguards on duty and to swim between their flags. “If you do that, you don’t need to worry about rip currents, or suddenly getting out of your depth. Putting an arm in the air and waving for help will get a rapid response from the lifeguards on duty,” Lambinon says. For various reasons, people regularly swim where there are no lifeguards on duty. This is when things can go wrong. “In a typical scenario, Sea Rescue gets an emergency call for a swimmer in difficulty. When we get there, we find two or more people in danger of drowning. Tragically, sometimes we are not able to get there in time and someone drowns,” he says. Lambinon says the person who does not survive is often the one who went into the water to help the person in difficulty. “Sea Rescue launched our Pink Rescue Buoy project in November 2017. These bright pink rescue buoys are hung on stra-

tegically placed signs. If there is an incident and someone needs help these buoys can be thrown to the person in trouble in the water,” he says. The emergency number for the closest Sea Rescue station is printed on these signs. Lambinon says the safest thing to do is to call Sea Rescue if they see someone in trouble. “If anyone decides, against advice, to enter the water to try to rescue someone first call Sea Rescue and then use the rescue buoy to provide flotation for the casualty.” Have a plan in place in the event of an emergency: . Make sure you have emergency numbers saved on your cellphone. In an emergency, dial 112 from any cellphone. Or Google Sea Rescue or NSRI for the closest Sea Rescue station’s telephone number. . Check the wind, weather and tides before going to the beach, fishing or boating. . Tell someone where you are going and when you are due back, and make sure that they know your route, your intentions and who to call if you don’t return on time. . When climbing on rocks or fishing from rocks, never turn your back on the sea. Rock anglers must wear a life jacket and know when spring high tide is. . If you are paddling or if you are on a boat, before you launch, download NSRI’s free SafeTrx app – http://www.nsri.org.za/ safetrx.

Soccer fans asked to help AVRIL FILLIES Local fans of the Premier Soccer League and English Premier League clubs in Cape Town are invited to make a difference in the lives of children at the New Dawn We Grow Children’s Orphanage in Kewtown, Athlone. “The local supporters of teams such as Manchester United, Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur, Juventus, Chelsea, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Kaizer Chiefs, Orlando Pirates, Arsenal, Cape Town City and Ajax Cape Town, can bring their families and friends to the fun day on Saturday 30 November from 08:30 until 16:00. It is held at Rygate in

Johnson Road, Athlone at the Gatesville Sports Ground,” says Wayne Philander, chair of the Ajax Cape Town supporters club. “The entrance fee is R7 per person and live entertainment and so much more activities are planned for the day. We are inviting you to bring your friends as we collectively give back and put a smile on the faces of the children in the orphanage,” Philander says. He urges the “soccer family and friends” of Cape Town to donate, especially essentials such as toothpaste, toothbrushes, soap, blankets, food parcels, clothing and pillows.

Cape trio plays for Swedish Masters NOORE NACERODIEN

Molaba had a superb tourna- Women’s Super League team. ment ending 4th in the batting with Eagles and the Swedish intend to an average of 500 and 5th in the continue this relationship going pitching striking out 34 batters in into the future. the process. The 41-year-old former South African international has played at one Junior World Championship, three senior World Championships, one Commonwealth Games and has toured overseas on 11 different occasions. Molaba is renowned for his winning run in the 2000 World Series in East London. But now, even as his energy has shifted mostly to coaching, Molaba could be set to add another golden moment. “By accepting the invitation, we will continue to strengthen the relationship between Khayelitsha Eagles and the Sweden Softball Federation,” he said. Locally, Molaba coaches the Eagles Men Thuto Makolomakoe, Terence White and Moses side and the Falcons Molaba.

he relationship between Khayelitsha Eagles Softball Club and the Swedish Softball Association took another positive turn recently. Moses Molaba, Thuto Makolomakoe and Terence White were guest players for Sweden in the European Masters Softball Cup played in Barcelona, Spain. They were invited by their local Swedish player, Karl Heljm, who plays for Eagles as part of an agreement between the two organisations. The men’s edition of this tournament consisted of eight teams from six different countries. For the round-robin phase, the teams played in two groups. Denmark All Stars and Magos Tenerife remained undefeated in their group, thus securing the first two spots in the winners’ group. Runners up, with both one loss and two wins, were the Israel Stars and Capitalinos Gran Canaria. Magos Tenerife remained the only undefeated team throughout the event and deserved the title. “The experience of playing in this event was great,” said Molaba who has vast experience in the international softball scene.
