Miracle babies ‘take over’ KAYLYNNE BANTOM KAYLYNNE.BANTOM@MEDIA24.COM
“T
he most heartbreaking part for me was being separated from them and not holding them after giving birth. I was only allowed to hold them on day three.” This is how Chantelle Whittles reflects on the birth of her triplets almost a year ago. The mother of four was speaking during World Prematurity Day commemorated on Tuesday 17 November at Groote Schuur Hospital. Whittles gave birth at CapeGate Mediclinic last year. The three were born at 34 weeks. They collectively weighed 6.2kg. “Cole weighed 2.1kg, Niah 2.2kg and Chayse 1.9kg.
“They were so small and fragile,” she says. Whittles says the children were immediately taken to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (Nicu). “They spent 19 days in the Nicu and my husband and I would visit them every day, taking turns to feed, hold and hug them. I still remember how sad I felt every night having to leave them behind,” explains Whittles. Although it was not an easy road, she is grateful that her triplets are growing well. World Prematurity Day is recognised around the world to highlight the plight of premature and critically ill babies as well as their families in the Nicu. For an entire week, the iconic Old Main Building at the hospital was lit up in purple to mark the occasion. On the day, the staff at Groote Schuur Hospital entertained mothers and their premature babies. According to statistics from the national
department of health, one in every seven babies is born prematurely in South Africa. Doctors and nurses at Groote Schuur’s Nicu see around 600 “preemies” annually. Dr Liesl le Roux, a doctor in the Neonatal Unit at Groote Schuur, says: “We spend a lot of time and energy growing these babies and getting them to a discharge weight. They take a lot of effort and they get a lot of special care and they are so special to all of us. We watch these tiny babies grow and they stay here for two or three months and they just climb into your heart and take over.” Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Le Roux says visitors are not allowed into the unit like in the past. However, the staff is not allowing that to dampen their spirits. They went out of their way to bring some cheer to mothers and their babies. “We had care packages and breastfeeding
support for the moms in the unit, we decorated the whole place – and even the babies – in purple, and we spoilt our nurses with cakes and treats and the doctors had a bakeoff.” Amy Mac Iver, manager at Newborn Groote Schuur Trust, says: “Despite the tough economic circumstances this year, we continue to be so blessed by our community with gifts and donations pouring in for our babies.” Mac Iver adds that a mother, Desire Dasopatis, who miscarried her twins during her 19th week of pregnancy, gifted mothers in Nicu with gift hampers. Dasopatis performed the selfless act in memory of her twins. Mac Iver says the Nicu is always in need of baby items and toiletries and encouraged people to visit the Newborn Trust’s Facebook page to make donations. V Read more on the topic on page 10.

People’s Post journalist Samantha Lee-Jacobs PHOTO: JUSTIN JACOBS
eople’s Post journalist Samantha Lee-Jacobs (28) has bagged the national award in the opinions category at the 2020 Vodacom Journalist of the Year awards (VJOY’s). The awards ceremony was held virtually on Friday 20 November where Lee-Jacobs represented the Western Cape region after winning the regional opinion category award at the regional virtual awards ceremony on Wednesday 11 November. The awards seek to recognise journalism excellence in the country across 12 categories. In its 19th year, the competition received a record number of 1 300 entries. Lee-Jacobs’s win was accredited to three columns published in both People’s Post (“Please just stop asking ‘when’ ”, “Breaking silence”) and TygerBurger (“Think twice before driving drunk”). The judges’ citation is: “Entries in this category covered many issues, mainly political but also the economy, sports and even religion. Many of these entries – while being well-written – offered views that were common in society and did not bring anything fresh to the debate at either a national or provincial level. Our national winner displayed a skill taking seemingly small issues and relating them to some of society’s important concerns such as sexual assault, peer pressure and drunk
driving.” Lee-Jacobs says: “In writing these columns, I was able to share a bit of myself, my personal life and my own experiences with some of society’s social ills with our readers. This was also the first time I had ever spoken out about a personal encounter with sexual assault which empowered me to help others. As community journalists, we have a special role to play in connecting with readers, while sharing news and views that matter. Having won awards for telling people’s inspiring stories before, it was especially amazing and a great honour to be awarded for the vulnerability in sharing my own story.” Thulani Magazi, People’s Post editor, praised Lee-Jacobs for the achievement. “Well done, Sammy. This wonderful accomplishment is an excellent stamp of approval on what community journalism is all about. You have consistently showed and proved that community journalism is truly alive by regularly collecting awards,” says Magazi. “Walking away with a national award against some of the country’s finest writers and newspapers is a huge achievement. We are truly proud of your achievement as it not only puts your name on the South African media landscape, but our beloved People’s Post too. Congratulations! Continue doing what you do best and love most.”

Pastor takes gospel to the park KAYLYNNE BANTOM @bantomkaylynne
“C
leanliness is next to godliness.” This is a belief that Douglas Steyn, a pastor in Factreton lives by. Steyn (65) or Pastor Dougie as he is affectionately known, has been voluntarily cleaning the street in his area for the past two years. But after noticing the terrible state of the local park in Glider Crescent, he decided to jump into action. With the help of a few local residents, the group now willingly cleans all the rubble and litter in the park every week. Steyn says he has been living in the area for the past 60 years and he wants the community to look presentable. He explains that the park should be a recreational space where children can play freely, but he says for years this has not been the case as the park was not being cleaned. “I want people to be proud of their area. The park and the community are neglected but we as the residents must take ownership and responsibility for their own spaces.” Steyn says like many other areas on the Cape Flats, the community is plagued by gang activities and mentions that two rival gangs live in the vicinity of the park. He believes beautifying the park can spark a positive change in the area. “I want them to see
that by cleaning the park, change is possible, and I would like them to clean up their lives,” explains Steyn. Steyn says he finds it heart-warming when young people come to him asking how they can help. “This is the goal; this area belongs to our youth so it’s great that they want to do positive things.” Steyn, together with his team, now also have their sights on another park two streets away from where he lives. He says: “I have asked the police to have more programmes in the park because they bring a certain authority and it will show the community that the police has an interest in the community. On Wednesday 18 November, Kensington police together with two organisations, The Grow Love Foundation and Velia’s Covid-19 Feeding Scheme, met with Steyn to discuss how they can partner with him on a development that came highly commended by Steyn. On this day children from the community were also able to play in a clean park for the first time in years. Wednesday 25 November, being the launch of the 16 Days of Activism for no Violence Against Women and Children, will see the park come alive with a community outreach awareness programme. Sgt Angeline Ah-Sing, communications
officer at Kensington police station, says: “We value people like Pastor Dougie who wants to partner with SAPS and now we can meet the youth and young ones especially, right there close to their own homes. A clean environment definitely has an impact of any
person. Together we can grow and develop Factreton and Kensington into the community we would love to have.” Steyn says he wants to instil the old values of respect, cleanliness and taking ownership for yourself and surroundings.
Douglas Steyn believes keeping the area clean will instil some pride in residents.

‘Send learners to school’ KAYLYNNE BANTOM
A
community outreach awareness programme to get learners with no comorbidities to return to school was launched on Tuesday 17 November in Kensington. The programme was jointly organised by the Western Cape Education Department (WCED) social workers, WCED Safer Schools and Kensington police. The outreach is aimed at getting learners to return to school if there is no one with comorbidities within their households. Sgt Angeline Ah-Sing, Kensington police communications officer, says: “It is of utmost importance to all the role players for learners

Ah-sing is appealing to residents to report learners who are not attending school. “We are heading into the 16 Days of Activism – No Violence against Women and Children. We are reminded that school is a safe haven for learners and if they do not attend school, they are left exposed.”

ADDICTION
Watch your relationship with liquor SAMANTHA LEE-JACOBS @Samantha_Lee121
“T
hey say the first step to recovery, is admitting you have a problem. My name is Jason, and I am an alcoholic.” These are words he never thought would be spoken, but with the hard lockdown and ban on the sales of liquor, Jason had found himself locked inside with copious amounts of liquor for weeks. “I borrowed money, made a loan to stock up on liquor for the lockdown. I was so worried I would not survive without a drink,” he says. A social drinker, he would drink on weekends with his friends or around a braai, but never did he think he had anything close to an alcohol addiction. But his dependency manifested itself during this time. “I would drink with a group of friends, but limited to the weekend and sometimes Thursdays. I look back now and realise that I never knew a limit. I would not stop until the last drop was finished from that bottle. Actually, all my friends are like that. We drink Fridays and Saturdays until we cannot stand and
then have a few beers to cool down on Sundays before work,” he says. “During lockdown, I bought so many bottles, trays of beers, cheap and expensive, whatever I could find. I just did not want to run out. By the third week of lockdown, I had almost finished the stock on my own. I would get up every day, have beer or whiskey with my breakfast and drink close to a bottle of liquor a day.” His relationship with alcohol started at a young age, he says. “In coloured communities, we are exposed to drinking from a young age. The first few things you do wrong is sneak a parent’s cigarette or take a sip of an open beer or wine. It doesn’t taste good at that age, but you all laugh and keep doing it because it’s naughty so it’s fun. We never realise that this influences us into our adulthood,” he says. “Getting drunk is so normal. At birthday parties, sneaking into clubs and bars and hanging out with older crowds are all normal; and drinking cheap wine, just to drink, is part of it.” When the lockdown was extended, he began to panic and was again looking at ways to replenish his dwindling stock. “I was stressed out and panicked. I was researching recipes for beer and looking for ille-
gal sellers. I was no longer receiving my full salary. This stress, the separation and the pandemic made it all worse,” he says. “In May, I was drunk out of my mind. I can’t remember it myself. My family began to notice how bad my relationship with alcohol had become and decided to record me. It was 11:30 and I was falling around. I could not walk or think or speak. I had lost myself to the bottle. I had become my father and those drunk uncles we are scared of, but secretly admire,” he says. With a history of alcoholism in his family, Jason believes he should have seen the signs much sooner. “I am what we call a happy and sloppy drunk, but my father was an aggressive drunk. He would get drunk and become abusive and vulgar. He would always be drunk, especially after retiring and that was difficult to see growing up, but after seeing that video – beside my behaviour – I had become my father. Something I vowed never to become,” he says. Jason is now part of an outpatient treatment to help him deal with his dependency issues. “I was so worried that I would turn to other things like drugs,” he says. Sharna Fernandez, the provincial minister of social development, says there is help available for anyone struggling with addiction. “It takes a tremendous amount of courage to seek help for drug and alcohol addiction, however, it may not always feel that way for people going through the process. As the provincial department, we recognise that
providing assistance to individuals and families with drug and alcohol-related challenges is key to building the social fabric of our communities. There are many health and social consequences of drug and alcohol addiction and, in most cases, it can lead to the breakdown of families,” she says. She adds that addiction is a chronic brain dysfunction and that support is imperative in recovery. “Despite the intrinsic dignity in addiction recovery, the persistent stigma and judgment that substance abuse disorder (SUD) survivors face when they endeavour to put their lives back together can be overwhelming and prevent them from moving forward, even leading to relapse,” she says. But for Jason, the lockdown had proven an unhealthy and irresponsible relationship with alcohol, and for many others who cannot see they have a problem. “If you borrowed money to buy alcohol, paid ridiculous prices from illegal sellers, made your own beer or drank every single day, then you have a problem. If you cannot go anywhere without having an alcoholic drink. That feeling that you cannot live without it should be a sign,” he says. “I know, you will say ‘I drink because I want to, not because I need to’, but for most, that is the lie we tell ourselves so we don’t have to face the reality. I was in denial and now the reality I am facing is that famous saying: ‘Hi, my name is Jason, and I am an alcoholic’.” V For help dealing with addiction, visit www.heretohelp.co.za, or the Department of Social Development’s hotline on 0800 220 250.

Mother speaks on Covid recovery A
mother has sent a heartfelt appreciation to front line workers in the Western Cape after beating Covid-19. When Natheera Hermans tested positive for the Coronavirus she feared for the wellbeing of her children, mother and elderly grandfather, whom she shares a two-bedroom home with. The mother of two says nothing could have prepared her for receiving the news of a positive test result. “I told myself, no . . . it can’t be the Coronavirus. I kept on having positive thoughts. I told myself they just wanted to rule it out, that is why they tested me. I wasn’t prepared to tell my kids, and I wasn’t prepared myself. I have two children and elderly parents with chronic medical conditions at home and I was so afraid that I would infect them and jeopardise their health.” Natheera felt ill on Sunday 23 August, and used over-the counter medication. But two days later she struggled to breathe and knew she had to visit her doctor, as she was also was diagnosed with asthma. Her doctor took no chances and referred her to Tygerberg Hospital for testing. “When I got there, it was very structured and everything was in place. The sister did her observations, asked questions and asked how I was referred. I provided my letter and a doctor saw me. They explained how the test works and did the nasal swab,” she

says. A call on Wednesday 26 August would confirm her fears. She had tested positive and was admitted to the Pinelands quarantine and isolation facility. Before leaving home, Natheera says she told her children that “mommy was working away from home”. “I didn’t know how to tell them. I told them I had gone to work and when they asked when I’d come home, we’d tell them I am working away. The eldest one would hear others asking if I was okay and my mom eventually told her I was in a place where I would get better.” Her mom, Fouzia Hermans, shares how she helped Natheera’s younger daughter cope. “I took her to the park or would take her for lunch. The next day we’d take a long walk. Just to keep her sane. It helped. It was a stressful 10 days for us but when her mom came back, she asked, ‘Mommy, are you really free of Covid-19’?” Natheera recalls with gratitude the support and care provided by staff at the isolation facility. “I can’t explain how awesome it was. The moment I got there, they took my bags. They were so organised. I felt safe just by walking in there, by the way they were structured. I didn’t feel like a lab rat or weirdo. They were very protective but in a professional manner. “I want to say thank you to every single person from the site managers to nurses on duty, security and cleaners. You guys are amazing, and I thank God for sending me here because I was able to rest stress-free and was well taken care of. No words can describe the gratitude I have for your kindness and generosity.” When she struggled to switch off from work while recovering, words of encouragement from front line workers eased her mind. The mother was discharged from the facility on Friday 4 September and couldn’t hold back her tears as she saw her children for the first time in 10 days. “When I saw my kids again, I remembered this was the first time we were away from each other. I was very emotional. I was actually overwhelmed.
Tears rolled down my face. They shouted: ‘Mommy, mommy.’ I could not wait to get out of the taxi. I dropped my bags and they ran to me.” It was her family and positive thinking that kept her motivated during her recovery. “I have had so many opportunities to stay positive. I had reasons to give up, but I never did. Life will throw curveballs, but you can make the best of it. I thought I was not going to make it; my immune system was compromised from day one because I had been sick. I had underlying conditions. But I want to say this, remain positive. Think about all the things
that motivate you, like wanting to see your family.” With social distancing in place, she was able to see her fiancé and one of her daughters through a window visit. “My fiancé visited from outside the window; they (staff) guided the visit. It was very nice.” She encourages the public to remain vigilant as the world continues the battle against the virus. “Take the virus seriously. Prepare yourself should it happen to you. Take good care of yourself and your body. Eat healthy. Practise general hygiene.”

Purple for preemies SAMANTHA LEE-JACOBS @Samantha_Lee121
A
ccording to the World Health Organisation (WHO), one in 10 babies will be born prematurely world wide. With many premature babies coming into the world facing lifelong challenges and lengthy hospital stays due to sometimes underdeveloped organs, celebrating the miracle of their births is observed annually on 17 November as World Prematurity Day. The first awareness day was initiated in 2008. November is also World Prematurity Awareness Month. Western Cape health minister Dr Nomafrench Mbombo says: “Raising awareness about World Preemie Day and Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) are critical. We are continuously striving to create awareness and improve the standard of KMC for newborn care at all the levels of healthcare, in all settings, within the Western Cape because KMC improves growth and reduces morbidities in low-birth-weight infants.” KMC is placing the baby on the bare chest, which promotes a strong bond between parent or carer and child. It also improves growth and reduces morbidities in low birth infants, promote increased milk production and breastfeeding success. According to the department, more than 75% of babies born prematurely can be saved with cost effective care before, during and after birth. Cost effective care include breastfeeding, KMC and hand washing (infection control). In recognition of this, this year many neonatal wards will be draped in purple, a colour that represents sensitivity and exceptionality. A premature baby is born three weeks or more before the due date and local health department officials confirm this can happen to anyone. For Melissa Naude, she had carried three babies full term, with her daughter Paula being born prematurely. “My two older children were full term. I even carried my oldest son into 41 weeks before labour was induced. When I was pregnant with Paula, the pregnancy was normal. I had no problems, but during a routine check up one month before, I started having serious pains and discomfort,” says Naude.

Company warns of ‘test drive’ vehicle theft Vehicle tracking company Tracker SA is urging motorists to be cautious when selling cars privately. Often, the option of selling a car privately is more appealing, as the seller could make more money. Lately, this seems to be a viable option for many people. Search and sales data for online car sales platform AutoTrader noted a significant increase in listings for private sales in July and August this year. July saw a 139% year-on-year increase in private sales, while there was a 136% increase in August. However, private sales come with risks, warns Ron Knott-Craig, executive: operational services at Tracker. Sellers need to be wary of fraudsters and potential robbers while they let people test drive their car. Here are some things to consider when selling your car privately to keep you safe: . Protect your personal information – be careful not to give out too much information when selling your car, whether in the advert or talking over the phone with potential buyers. Criminals could use it against you. Also, make sure any photos you post online don’t have geo-tag data embedded in them, which could give away your home address. . Don’t meet the buyers at your home – you won’t normally invite strangers to visit your home, so don’t do it while selling your car. Rather take the car and meet the buyers at a shopping complex or similar public place. Choose a place that is busy, and preferably one with video surveillance. . Set appointments during the day – rather meet potential buyers during daylight hours. Criminals like to use the cover of
darkness. . Buddy up – get a friend to go along with you. Also, let someone that won’t be going with you know of the plans. Get them to give you a call after a specified time to check that everything is okay. Some tracking services have apps that you can use to share your location with such a person. They can then follow your Be wary of fraudsters route and know LEE-JACOBS where you are at all times. . Test your tracking device – make sure your tracking device is working and that your tracking company has up-to-date emergency contacts listed on your tracking profile. . Limit your accessories – have your cell phone with you so that you are contactable, but keep the stuff that you carry with you to a minimum. Don’t carry unnecessary valuables with you or have them in the car. . Request identification – besides getting their full name and contact number, get a form of identification from the buyers, which might be helpful if things do go pearshaped. They will be driving your car, so they need to bring their driver’s licence along. Request a copy or take a photo. This shouldn’t faze a legitimate buyer, but might act as a deterrent to criminals. . Don’t just hand over the keys – it might

seem silly, but make sure you’re actually in the car before you give the keys to the test driver and get them back before exiting the vehicle. Otherwise they could just drive off and leave you in the dust. . Remain vigilant – if something doesn’t seem right, or it feels unsafe, trust your gut and take the necessary steps to extricate yourself from the situation. Whether that means not meeting with the potential buyers in the first place, or leaving immediately when the hackles on your back rise. Have a back-up plan in case of an emergency. “Criminals are always looking for ways to strike when you least expect it,” says Knott-Craig. “If you are robbed, remember your life is worth more than your valuables, so keep calm, co-operate and try to get away as quickly as possible. Report the incident to your tracking company and the police as soon as you can.”

Men’s health takes centre stage W
ith November being prostate and testicular awareness month, on the 19th annually, International Men’s Health Awareness Day is also observed. The Western Cape health department marked this by encouraging men to seek medical assistance and go for regular check-ups. The department offers a wide range of health services for men including mental health support; checking and management of blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol; STI and HIV testing and treatment; and medical male circumcision. Mongezi Mlenzana, a physiotherapist working at Site B community health centre, says men must look after their health and seek healthcare when they feel unwell. “As men, we need to look after ourselves and our health. We do know that our cars regularly need to be serviced, but so do our bodies. Cleanliness is very important and also physical exercise to keep fit. Seek medical help when you feel unwell, your life may depend on it,” says Mlenzana. “Be honest with yourself and face any health issues like the man that you are. Provincial health minister Dr Nomafrench Mbombo visited the Wynberg taxi rank to encourage men to look Men should trust our healthcare their health. professionals because they are experts in dealing with health matters, even so provide services for men’s sexual health. you and your partner want to have a baby, for men.” It is advisable to go for HIV and TB screening if you have TB, if you are on treatment for Men are encouraged to visit a health facili- every year.

According to Dr Paul Porteous, a urologist at Netcare Olivedale Hospital, of the three illnesses, testicular cancer is the least common with only six out of every 100 000 men likely to develop the malignancy. “It is the most common male cancer among younger men between the ages of 15 and 49 and is, therefore, deserving of the best interventions in those men in whom it does occur. It is important that men don’t ignore any new or unexplained lump in the testes,” he cautions. Dr Porteous explains that although according to the latest (2016) statistics of the National Cancer Registry, South African men have a 1-in-17 risk for being diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime; prostate cancer is far more common with 1 in 10 men being diagnosed in areas with widespread screening. “The good news is that many, if not most, prostate cancers are slow growing, meaning
Men’s health in the spotlight that early detection does enable better management and improves the chances of a cure.” Men are increasingly taking control of their physical health, in the understanding that they may have great physical strength but that they are also human and, therefore, vulnerable. Mental health, however, continues to be sidelined in many cases. “The third illness in the Movember trio – clinical depression in men – is harder to measure due to the stigma attached to it. While the magnitude of this problem is often only recognised and measured by the number of resulting suicides, the burden endured by those men living with the condition remains under the radar and cannot be calculated,” asserts Dr Porteous. Urologist Dr Jan Wilhelmus Aucamp, who practises at Netcare Union Hospital, relates that prostate cancer represents the second most common cancer in men and the fifth most common cause of cancer death in men.
“Age related demographics do indicate an increase as men age, and it is most often diagnosed in men aged 65 to 74 years. However, worldwide incidence of prostate cancer has increased in men as young as 15 to 40 years old, with an average of about 2% per year since 1990. Although rare, these men present with more advanced cancer with a worse prognosis than older individuals.” Healthcare professionals urge men to take the importance of screening seriously. Dr Stephen Cornish, a urologist at Netcare Sunninghill Hospital, suggests: “Any man over the age of 40 should consider having himself assessed with regards to the current state of his prostate gland as well as its potential to develop prostate cancer in the future.” According to Dr Aucamp, prostate cancer can be detected with screening before patients experience any symptoms. Local symptoms can include lower urinary tract issues such as frequent, weak, interrupted
sues and encourage men to take care of their health and well-being. It is important for men to man up and take charge of their health by making wise, healthy decisions. A wise man knows his health status, know your status. Get tested for HIV/Aids, TB, blood pressure, and diabetes. It’s quite critical that men adhere to their TB and HIV treatment plans, as well as chronic treatment,” says Western Cape minister of health, Dr Nomafrench Mbombo. To raise awareness on all health issues affecting men, Mbombo visited the Wynberg Taxi Rank on Wednesday 18 November to talk to men about TB, prostate cancer, HIV, blood pressure, cholesterol, and mental health. Her message encouraged men to take responsibility for their health, man up and prioritise their health. Tests are free from the local clinic. If you are already on chronic treatment, it is important to stick to your treatment plan and continue to take your medication. “We understand that people sometimes default from taking their medication due to treatment fatigue, disengaged due to Covid-19, work duties, travelling, stigma, non-disclosure or any other reasons. We request them to come to the after health facilities so we can help them get back on their treatment. We welcome them and offer support through individual adherence counselling. We are very sympathetic and are aware that people need motivation to continue with lifelong treatment,” says Sister Xolelwa Mancoba, professional nurse at Michael Mapongwana community day centre. or painful urine flow; presence of blood in the urine or seminal fluid; erectile dysfunction and urinary retention. These symptoms, however, usually only present at a more advanced stage. Dr Cornish notes that many of the above symptoms can also indicate benign prostate enlargement, and that a good place to start is often the GP, who should be able to perform a baseline screening for prostate cancer. If there are concerning findings then a referral to a urologist would be necessary. “A simple blood test, the PSA test, remains the best biochemical test that can indicate if prostate cancer is present or if there is potential for occurrence in the future.” Dr Cornish emphasises it can also lead to over-diagnosis and unnecessary treatment. “The PSA is not a substitute for a rectal exam,” he says. “No one likes a rectal exam, in the same way that ladies are not keen on vaginal exams. It is, however, important and wise for men to put aside their dislike for such an exam and see it as an essential part of maintaining good health in later years.”

In November verlede jaar het die geluk my getref met die Lotto. My finansiële probleme was opgelos, my hofsake was gekanselleer en ek het weer liefde gevind. Hulle het ook gehelp met derde party-eise en pensioenfonds-uitbetalings.

Sport brings kids happiness SAMANTHA LEE-JACOBS @Samantha_Lee121
“A
nyone who says money can’t buy happiness, has clearly never bought a
ball.” And living true to this is the Unchain the Plain’s latest venture with the recent launch of their own branded sporting equipment. On Saturday 21 November, the organisation launched the first batch of netball, rugby, soccer balls along with its adopt-a-ball campaign, which calls on locals to buy balls and hand them back to the organisation to distribute to vulnerable children. Having started the organisation last year, they have already handed over sporting equipment to several primary schools in Mitchell’s Plain and other smaller towns such as Worcester. Some of the sporting legends who attended the event are former rugby legends Muneeb Levy and Dale Santon, who is currently the president of the SA rugby legends; former Bafana Bafana player David Nyati;
former PSL players Dominic Isaacs; Shamiel Permall, Quentin Booysen and pro netball referee Shanaaz Abrahams Macauley. Santon, who grew up in Mitchell’s Plain, says: “We must take our streets back. When we were children we had other challenges. We fought a regime. There is a chemical war against our children. Our gangsters are selling drugs to our children. So many parents have children who are slaves to drugs. We need to take back our streets and this initiative is part of it.” Nyati says: “To see what is happening here, warms my heart because I think we are in a country that really needs each and every one of us to give of our best to enable this country to rise.” He added that sport is key to keeping children off the streets. “We need to take ownership and start moulding the (people that) our young generation will become,” he says. “I am happy to see this leadership that will get kids to waste their energy in a good way. Children want to play.”
This is key to Unchain the Plain’s philosophy. Mark Skriker, organisation chair, says: “I want to remind all of us that we are duty-bound and that we have a social responsibility to arrest the decline in moral values in our communities,” he says. “What we don’t always realise is it takes a village to raise a child, to nurture a child, to educate a child.” One thing many agreed on was that Mitchell’s Plain, like many other vulnerable communities is rich in sporting talent. Lt Col Cleo Arnoldus, of the Mitchell’s Plain police station, says the initiative is definitely assisting in keeping children active and off the streets, which will in turn see a reduction of influence from gangs and crime. “Every little bit helps. Sports creates resilience and that is what we need,” she says. The branded balls are imported as the local manufacturing costs were too high. “We wanted to find a manufacturer that would make balls to survive the conditions we have. We do not have lush fields to play on,” says Skriker.

Unchain the Plain have launched their own line of branded balls.

They will soon add cricket kits and badminton cocks and rackets to their branded items. Their aim is to introduce children to a variety of known and less dominant sports
such as badminton and hockey. V Balls cost R250 as part of the adopt a ball campaign. For more information, visit the Unchain the Plain Facebook page or download their mobile app.
