WARD 82

Ready to serve SAMANTHA LEE-JACOBS @Samantha_Lee121

A

few days shy of her first month in office, Washiela Harris, the newlyelected councillor for ward 82, has already gotten her hands dirty and she is looking forward to the new year. Harris was elected as councillor in the recent by-election in ward 82 which covers the broader Tafelsig area. The election took place on Wednesday 13 November with Harris – who represents the Democratic Alliance (DA) – winning the ward with more than 60% of the valid votes cast. The position became available after the death of councillor Sheval Arendse in August. “When my colleague got sick, I was asked to assist in the ward and when Arendse passed away, I made myself available for election,” says Harris. Harris began as a community worker in the Colorado Park and London Village area. “I was an activist in my community for many years and was the chair of Colville Residents’ Association for two terms, serving the communities of Colorado Park and London Village. I was also the first elected victim support coordinator for Lentegeur police station when it opened in 2013 and, this year, I stepped down as the Mitchell’s Plain Lions Club president,” says Harris. She has also worked as a scribe for the Eros School for the past four years. “This is how passionate I am about serving our communities,” says Harris. She has been a proportional representative (PR) councillor in ward 99 for the past three years. Ward 99 covers the remainder of Tafelsig – Hyde Park, Mitchell’s Heights and Freedom Park – and parts of Khayelitsha. Following her election, Harris is ready to tackle some of the challenges in the com-

munity. “Gangsterism in the area is a huge problem and affects service delivery. Officials can’t come in to deliver the much-needed services because of the shootings sometimes,” says Harris. She serves on the safety and security and leadership and development portfolio committees. “I know it may not be possible but many times people say they do not know or have not seen their councillor, even if they have been in office for two terms, and I want to change that. I want to meet every resident and know every street I am going to serve. It will probably take me two to three years, but that is the challenge I want to set for myself. I want residents to know who I am and that I am here to serve them to the best of my ability,” says Harris. She looks forward to working with residents but says it will take time to see improvements. “Residents ask and think it will happen immediately. There are processes that must be followed, but residents want it to happen overnight. If it is reported to me, I must then report it to the line departments who take it further,” says Harris. Her office will be in Tafelsig and there are plans to appoint an assistant to man the office. “I have an open-door policy and I believe that what is right will always be right and what is wrong can be made right. I am here to work with everyone, irrespective of their political stance. I want to serve to the best of my ability because I have pledged allegiance to serve the residents of ward 82,” she says. “To the residents of ward 82, I would like to wish you all a blessed festive season. Be safe so that when we come back next year, you are all healthy, safe and alive.” V Harris is based at the New Tafelsig community centre from 8:00 to 14:00, Monday’s to Friday’s. Call the office on 021 391 1436.

premier of the Western Cape, Alan Winde lead by example, getting himself tested for HIV/ Aids on Thursday 28 November. The test was conducted by provincial health minister, Dr Nomafrench Mbombo. The focus of campaigns run this year is to encourage communities to fight the epidemic. “Knowing your status will not only help you to access necessary health care if required, but will also allow you to take steps to ensure that you do not infect others. The test today was quick and simple. We need to remove the stigma around this disease by ensuring that testing for HIV is as routine as other health checks like having your blood pressure or blood sugar checked,” says Winde. Mbombo says the health department conducted 1.7 million HIV tests and started 41 318 new patients on treatment in the last financial year. “A total of 87 846 residents belong to adherence clubs, which make it simpler for patients to collect their medication, and therefore remain on treatment. We cannot get complacent. Testing and treatment are key to us beating this disease.” PHOTO: LARISSA VENTER

etective Sgt Randall Davids has been named Detective of the Year at the recent provincial Police Excellence Awards. The event was held on Saturday 23 November at Century City Convention Centre where officers and police stations were thanked for their contributions. Acting provincial commissioner Lt Gen Sindile Mfazi acknowledged that policing in the Western Cape was no mean feat, hence it required hardworking and dedicated police officials. Deputy national commissioner for asset and legal management, Lt Gen Francinah Vuma delivered the keynote address. She lauded members who go beyond the call of duty and thanked them for a job well done. Davids has been in the police service for close to 16 years and was influenced to pursue this career from a young age. “Growing up watching crime series, I felt motivated to fight crime one day and to make the community safe. My area was gang-ridden at the time and I wanted to be involved in turning people away from crime,” says Davids. Davids has been a detective for 13 years. “The satisfaction of solving cases, giving families closure, the team work by the unit are all positives that keep me motivated,” he says. “I believe that its by God’s grace that we are able to serve and fulfil our calling in life. There are challenges and the job can be demanding and make a person feel despondent at times, however being focused on your goal will enable you to stay positive.” On winning the award, Davids says: “It feels good to be acknowledged and recog-

guidelines given and trust in the judgement and support of peers and mentors. The police allows one to be on the front lines of the fight against crime and to make a direct impact in people’s lives in terms of their immediate safety and sense of well-being,” he says. Other winners on the evening include: . Catch of the Year: Worcester police. . Visible Policing group of the Year: Mait-

land Flying Squad B-Shift . Station Commander of the Year: Brigadier Vuyisile Ncata of Nyanga Police Station. . Community Policing Forum of the Year: Table View. Category winners will represent the Western Cape at the National Police Excellence Awards scheduled to be held in January.

WARD 75

Unemployment cut at the roots SAMANTHA LEE-JACOBS @Samantha_Lee121

A

group of 10 women from ward 75 have completed a hairdressing course aimed at empowering themselves and cutting down on unemployment. “As the ward councillor, I had the honour and privilege to afford 10 young ladies from ward 75 the opportunity to attend a ‘Business in a Box’ hairdressing course during the month of November. This was part of the ward allocation budget for the 2019/2020 budget year,” says ward 75 councillor, Joan Woodman. The women are aged between 19 and 35 and were randomly selected from a database. On completion of the course they will receive a starter kit to start their own mobile styling businesses. This is the second initiative run by Woodman in the ward (“Cutting down on unemployment, People’s Post, 27 March 2018). “This is a business in a box that empowers the participants to start their own business. This was done in 2018 and now in 2019, the fruits thereof encouraged me to do so again,” says Woodman. “Hairdressing is something that is much

needed every day and provides (the women with) sustainable income and can be done door-to-door.” The course was facilitated by the Deo-Favente Hair and Beauty Skills Centre and covered the basics of hairdressing, an overview of hair salon etiquette, the anatomy of hair, wash basin; shampooing and washing techniques, treatments, colouring, relaxer preparation; application and after care. The course also covered blow dry techniques and after care, flat iron techniques, natural hair grooming, plaiting of hair, hair extensions, bantu knots and curls, natural curls and afros, basic barber hair cutting, basic pedicure and manicure treatments and basic business and life skills. The 10-day course started on Tuesday 19 November with daily sessions from 08:00 to 17:00. The women graduated at a ceremony at the subcouncil chambers in Lentegeur on Friday 6 December. The women each received a starter kit which included scissors, brushes and combs, and a hairdryer. Woodman says ward allocation budget has been set aside for youth development in 2021 but the course has not yet been determined.

The women who participated in a month-long training have now graduated with the skill to run their own styling businesses.

With the schools officially closed, the City of Cape Town’s community services and health directorate has pulled out all the stops to ensure a fun, safe and educational holiday with activities at various municipal facilities. “The City’s facilities have put together hundreds of programmes to ensure no one is bored this holiday and to give parents peace of mind. It can be a stressful time for adults as their school-going children may not have anywhere to go during the summer holiday,” says Cape Town mayor, Dan Plato. “While our facilities have risen to the occasion to make sure these events are fun and interactive, many of them have an educational and development aspect. They help to develop leadership, social and physical skills. Children also get to try new things and gain resilience, developing confidence and self-esteem,” says Mayco member for community services and health, Zahid Badroodien. In Mitchell’s Plain, residents can look forward to a host of activities. None of the events take place over weekends or on the public holidays. .

tealing a bottle of cooldrink landed a local charity worker in hot water, much to the shock and dismay of his neighbours. At 15:00 on that Tuesday afternoon, police vehicles came zooming around the corner, sirens blaring, to arrest Edries Davids, We Desire To Inspire (WDTI) foundation’s chair and the suspected thief. As they cuffed him and put him in the back of the police van, his neighbours screamed and were ready to attack officers or lay down in front of the vans, children were crying and ran home. Managing to subdue him and calm the crowd, officers drove off with Davids. But as the van circled the block

and returned to Jameson Street, residents were relieved to find it was nothing but a lesson. In showing their fun side, teaching the local children a lesson and in giving back, it demonstrated that the community and the initiative has police support. Officers from Mitchell’s Plain police station spent the rest of the afternoon helping members of the WDTI foundation to feed hundreds of children and adults from the surrounding Eastridge community. Malcom Lips, who often volunteers, says this was the first of many engagements with the police. “The police have soccer tournaments and the foundation has a kids club so this is not a once-off. “We cannot thank the police enough for what they have done. They were really brilliant,” says

Lips. “The people were so upset. I tried to tell them it was all going to be okay but they would not listen to me. When the van came back they were all so relieved.” Davids says he was a bit sceptical about it at first. “I was really concerned about the reaction of the people. But I agreed. It worked perfectly,” he says. “Their reaction showed me the true value of this feeding scheme. People were crying and asking how can they take the father away? Where will they get food next week. There were people prepared to lay before the vans. They were pulling the police officers apart.” Davids says he is happy his family can make a difference in the community.

Foundation feeds hundreds SAMANTHA LEE-JACOBS @Samantha_Lee121

W

hat started out as kindness to his neighbours, has grown into an initiative that feeds hundreds of Eastridge residents every week. The soup kitchen has been running for little over a year and is a family initiative, says Edries Davids, We Desire To Inspire (WDTI) foundation chair. “My wife, Lutfiah started off by feeding 20 children who lived in our street, making a small pot of food, and then it grew beyond us. Now we feed around 400 people every Tuesday. We have been very fortunate that we have not once turned anyone away or told them that there is no more food,” Davids says. “We do not have major sponsors, we have small sponsors and 80% of the funds come from the family.” The foundation became a registered nonprofit organisation (NPO) in June this year. The soup kitchen is run by Edries, his wife Lutfiah, son Junaid, daughter and son-in-

law Shaheeda and Aslam Cummings, sisterin-law and cousin Geraldine Andries and Fazlin Riley. “The feeding scheme led to many other things. Because of this, we now have a kids club with more than 70 children. It is not only about the food. We were thinking outside of the box,” says Davids. The feeding scheme has also seen the residents take back their streets. “This street has been gang-infested since I moved in and that has been 32 years. We fought one of the biggest merchants who stayed in this road. We are now rid of them. Eight children who grew up in front of us lost their lives because of gangsterism and we wanted to show the little kids that there is more to life than having gangsters as role models and more to life than becoming a gangster,” says Davids. The foundation hosted a heritage day event in September that encouraged children to play games in the street. They are now planning to host a similar Christmas event on Tuesday 24 December. “We wanted to go back to ‘your child is my

child’ and now we are reaping the benefits. Not a single child can walk in this street without an adult asking them where their parents are. Everyone looks after each other’s children,” says Davids. The feeding scheme continues to grow with input from small donors and volunteers in Woodstock, Heideveld, Ottery, Panorama and Claremont. The foundation works on a 6-week meal cycle feeding various meals. The foundation has also started feeding breakfast daily. “We are running this out of our own pockets and we need help because it is growing beyond us. I cannot tell these people next week that there is no food. They depend on us. If we do not get help, we will need to do that. Up to now, we have been running full steam ahead with the help of the Almighty,”

he says. The foundation feeds from its Jameson Street base every Tuesday from 15:00. “There is no restrictions. No one gets turned away. Some people sit here from the time children get home from school. We give them a moment of silence so that everyone can say a prayer and then we serve,” he says. He says he understands how difficult it may be for some to come to collect food. “They are not standing here for nothing. It is out of need. To wait in a queue for food is not easy and some people have too much pride.” Davids says he hopes to grow the initiative further with the help of more donors. V To donate, get involved or for more information, call Davids on 078 048 3948, email wdtifoundation@mail.com, visit their Facebook page WDTI Foundation or Instagram page @wdti.foundation.

WOODLANDS

‘Dangerous’ trees get the chop SAMANTHA LEE-JACOBS @Samantha_Lee121

“I

t’s about time.” This is the sentiment of Woodlands residents who say they are pleased with the City of Cape Town’s decision to trim large trees in the area. The City announced last week that they would be pruning 22 large trees in a pilot project in Woodlands. Resident Waseema Pietersen says although she does not have any trees in front of her house, she is still affected. “I make use of public transport, so I need to walk to the main road. I pass by some of these trees and the little nuts that grow on the tree really hurts when it hits you,” she says. Fellow resident Peter Williams agrees, saying it is also a danger to vehicles. “The higher they are, the harder they hit you. Or that is how it feels. This can easily cause dents or cracks,” he believes. “The trees have been a part of our lives. I grew up seeing these trees all over Mitchell’s Plain,” he says. Williams lives in Westridge but spends a lot of time in the Woodlands area, he says. “There is the same problem all over Mitchell’s Plain. The mess of the leaves, the big branches and the little nuts that fall. We have become used to it but I am glad to see they are doing something. I just hope they won’t stop here and do all the overgrown trees in the area,” says Williams. The initiative follows fears from residents that branches of large eucalyptus trees will fall unexpectedly, putting lives or property at risk. But Cherryl May, a resident who has lived in the street for 40 years, says trimming the

trees is not enough. “We want this tree in front of our house removed. It is an obstruction for me reversing out of my driveway,” says May. She continues that she has already been the victim of crime and had motorised her gates as a result. “These little nuts get in the track. We had to put broom heads on the gate to keep the track clean because this can damage the motor,” she says. May says it would be better for the trees to be replaced with indigenous trees as these trees sap a lot of water and their roots are causing damage to the sidewalks and roads. Zahid Badroodien, Mayco member for comunity services and health, says safety has been taken into consideration when the project was undertaken. The trees will be trimmed to be between seven and 10m – the average height of a streetlight pole – by a contractor appointed by the City’s recreation and parks department. The trees are believed to have been planted in the 1980’s as part of the ‘Greening the City’ initiative. While the City acknowledges the presence of Eucalyptus gomphocephala trees all throughout Mitchell’s Plain, the street has been identified as a pilot site to test the effectiveness of this pruning method in reducing the fall of branches without destroying the trees. “Regular methods of drop-crotch pruning have been used to trim lateral branches to keep street signs and lights clear, however, no cuts were made off the top, in accordance with the City’s tree maintenance standards,” says Badroodien in a statement. The shape of the trees are visibly tall and narrow with no low hanging branches as a result of this method.

“The trees continue to grow upwards until branches are unable to hold their own weight and subsequently fall down during severe weather episodes,” says Badroodien. The City’s policy on tree management is that all trees are valuable and are only to be pruned for sound arboricultural or safety reasons, Badroodien continues. “In August this year, a storm caused one of the trees in Eros Way to be uprooted and fall over, causing damage to three properties. Several consultants were appointed to assess the risk of other trees in the area and the recommendation was to cut the tops of the trees on the affected street as a pilot to test tree re-

sponse and reduce safety risks. If proven effective, the method will be extended to other avenues where similar trees are deemed to be a safety hazard,” says Badroodien. He continues, saying while every effort is made to preserve the trees, the safety of residents is the first priority. “Pruning is generally conducted during cool winter periods, to reduce shock and loss of trees; however, an exception has been made on Eros Way following the safety incident. If the pruning is required on other avenues it is likely to be rolled out between May and September when conditions are more conducive to pruning,” says Badroodien.

New pavement for new school year SAMANTHA LEE-JACOBS @Samantha_Lee121

A

broken pavement in front of a local school has been fixed following calls for repairs in September. Ward 82 councillor Washiela Harris says residents had asked for the unsafe pavement to be fixed in front of Cascade Primary School in Mountain Street at a community meeting she called in the area a few months ago. “On Thursday 12 September I hosted a public meeting and one of the residents asked me for repairs to the pavement in front of the school because it was all broken up,” says Harris. “It took some time though, because there is a process that must be followed and repairs cannot happen immediately. There is tenders that must go out and be facilitated through the line departments,” she says.

However, Harris had logged the request following the meeting and the work was completed recently. Harris visited the school before it had closed and says the school management is happy to have the much-needed repairs now completed. The resident who raised her concerns about the pavement is Yolanda Burt who says she is happy to see the pavements fixed. Burt says she had noticed and raised her concern about the pavement for a number of years as it was a tripping hazard for the children and her neighbours. The repairs started two weeks ago and was completed by the City of Cape Town’s transport directorate. Other work completed on site include a leak on the school property which was fixed, and the state of the school’s perimeter fencing is being looked at to determine if repairs or replacements are necessary.

Seniors share festive cheer SAMANTHA LEE-JACOBS @Samantha_Lee121

I

n celebrating the end of the year and feeling the festive cheer, a group of seniors held their very own year-end Christmas party on Monday 2 December. The Shekinah Super Saints seniors’ club met at the Shekinah Full Gospel Church in Beacon Valley from 12:00 to 14:30. Of their 66 registered members, 64 attended the event. The club was started 30 years ago, says Ivy Johnson, Shekinah Super Saints leader. “The church saw the need for seniors to have fellowship with each another. It can be lonely for them. “The club was also established to provide a meal on club days, which is every Monday,” says Johnson. “By the grace of God, our seniors work hard during the year, so we have a concert, a big fundraiser and a camp. At the end of the year, I feel that they need to be spoilt and given the best.”

Residents walk the walk SAMANTHA LEE-JACOBS @Samantha_Lee121

R

esidents have put their best foot forward in a fun walk arranged by ward 79 councillor, Solomon Philander on Saturday 7 December. The walk started off at the Beacon Valley community hall and ended at Portland indoor sports centre. “As part of the walk, we invited all Mitchell’s Plain library users to return overdue books at no cost and with no questions asked. This will enable other users to enjoy reading and access information,” says Philander. No books were returned, however library

staff are optimistic, saying they are happy to have used the opportunity to raise awareness. Philander says there are around 174 unreturned books. “This event was in the planning phase during 2018 when we had a spike in trauma through violence and specifically the killings of innocent lives in the ward. These events projected our community labelled as unsafe, with no solution in sight. As the ward councillor I am of the opinion that the majority of people living in ward 79 contribute positively to the community and that there is a need for creating social cohesion initiatives where we as a community can participate. In addition to this we have great

recreational facilities in ward 79, this event links communities through social initiatives,” says Philander. Organisations also had the opportunity to walk and share massages through posters. “The Mitchell’s Plain library is a recreation facility that is accessed by young and old to collect knowledge or serving the internet for information or access employment opportunities. Making sure we look after our resource we need responsible users that loan books and return them to the facility to give the opportunity to other users to enjoy or benefit from it,” says Philander. “The disadvantage of users not returning the books it deprives others. It will also become wasteful expenses if everyone don’t re-

turn books and the City must replace the resources that was already purchased. Future funds should be used to expand on resources and not replacing resources. Let us build a responsible community through a simple act. We are all stewards of our local resources.” Mu-Izz Hendricks from the library says it has become more than just a place to read books. “We believe as a result of extra-curricular activities and the integrated endeavours of the library, it now serves add a centre of hope and light for the community,” he says. The participants received a medal and lunch and then enjoyed fun and games at the indoor centre.

Birthday bash with a difference SAMANTHA LEE-JACOBS @Samantha_Lee121K

K

ings Auto Parts hosted its second birthday bash on Saturday 7 December from 10:00 to 15:00. As part of its give back to the community, Kings also raised awareness for Hannah’s Place of Safety and encouraged affiliates to donate to the organisation. Jap Outlaws, a Toyota car club, also brought and donated goods for the organisation. Omar Mullah, co-owner of Kings Auto Parts, says the company has been steadily growing. “I have been in the automotive industry for the past 15 years. I had my own fitment centre and the next step, naturally, was to open an auto parts centre. There was a need for it in the community,” says Mullah. A second branch has been opened in Steenberg recently.

In celebrating its growth, Kings Auto Parts is partnering with several community organisations to give back for the support it has received. “We were looking for an organisation to affiliate ourselves with on a long-term basis because we want to give back to the community,” says Mullah. “It is very professional and very well organised but it is a non-profit organisation and it needs the support of the community. As a company, we feel it is our mandate to give back to the community.” The company also partners with the Portland Block B watch. Janine Fabe, founder of Hannah’s Place, says she first met Mullah three months ago. “They found us on Facebook and visited the house to see what we do,” says Fabe. Hannah’s Place of Safety offers care and protection services for children. “We are going to raise awareness about the organisation but also educate people on

how children end up in care and protection, our role in this and people’s social responsibilities,” says Fabe. “We do not want the children ending up at children’s homes. We want the children to end up in real homes. Whether this is them being reunited with biological family or them being taken in by foster parents. We help recruit foster care parents for the department,” says Fabe. Fabe says it is important for everyone to

be socially responsible. “When we see someone dragging a child and spanking them, it is our responsibility to say that is not right and to talk to the mother, and if you feel you must report it to the department of social development, then you do that. That is our responsibility and (by so doing) less children will end up murdered or in care and protection,” she says. V For more information or for an updated list of needs, visit Hannah’s Place of Safety Facebook page.

The stalls at the event created a festive atmosphere.

inne minder as ’n uur is al hul besittings vernietig en nou moet twee gesinne in Tafelsig van voor af begin. Dit is as gevolg van ’n brand wat twee naasliggende wendyhuise vernietig het. Die brand het Donderdag 28 November om 09:30 uitgebreek. Dit het by een van die Suurbergstraathuise ontstaan en wendyhuise by Suurbergstraat 2 en 4 vernietig. Die hitte van die brand het die ander twee

wendyhuise op die twee eiendomme beska­dig en vensters van die hoofhuise het gebars. Dit is nie duidelik wat die oorsaak van die brand is nie. Edwina Carelse en haar man bly reeds twaalf jaar in een van die wendyhuise. In haar gesin alleen word sewe mense­ weens die brand g­eraak. “Ek weet nie hoe of waar dit begin het nie,” sê Carelse. “Ons was by die huis, maar ons was in die hoofhuis toe dit gebeur het. Ons het iets ge­ruik en toe ek uitkom, was die vuur al by my kas.”

Final fines roadshow The popular traffic fines roadshow which is run by the City of Cape Town’s legal services department together with the City’s traffic service will return to the Cape Town Civic Centre for the final run this year. The roadshow opened yesterday (Monday 9 December) and will continue until Friday 13 December between 08:00 to 14:00.

A team consisting of administrative staff, prosecutors and traffic officers will be on the concourse level of the civic centre to assist motorists with their fines and/ or warrants of arrest. The public will also have an opportunity to make enquiries about outstanding fines and to settle outstanding fines and warrants.

Carelse se gesin het alles verloor en word nou deur ’n somber Kersfees in die gesig ge­staar. Sy is 29, haar man 32, haar dogter is 7 en haar seuns is 12, 3, 1 en nege maande. Volgens Kasifa Lewis het hulle ’n noue ontkoming gehad in die naburige huishou­ding. Haar wendyhuis is langs haar broer s’n gebou. Haar broer het ook al sy besittings in die brand verloor. Lewis sê sy en haar kinders was in haar huis toe hulle die brand ruik. “Ons het gesit en toe my man sê iets brand, toe gaan kyk hy, toe het die huise klaar ge-

brand,” sê sy. Haar man het toe al die kinders uitgehaal en in die hoofhuis gesit. “Ons het water gegooi om die brand te blus, maar dit was te laat,” sê Lewis. “My huis is beskadig. Daar was ’n gat in die muur, maar hulle kon dit regmaak.” Die twee gesinne het reeds begin herbou, danksy materiaal wat deur die Stad Kaapstad geborg is. Haar broer, Sharief, was nie tuis to People’s Post die eiendomme besoek het nie. Hy en sy meisie het ’n vyfjarige seun. V As iemand iets aan die twee gesinne wil skenk, kan hul Carelse by 078 505 3893 of Lewis by 061 471 3716 bel.

Danksy materiaal geskenk deur die Stad Kaapstad is die gesinne besig om hul huise te herbou.

’n Gesin se besittings lê verwoes ná ’n brand waarin twee wendyhuise vernietig is.

Prosecutors will be on standby to consider their representations and cashiers available to take payments in the settlement of fines. “The purpose of the roadshow is to provide a convenient one-stop shop to the public to sort out their outstanding fines once and for all. “I encourage motorists to take full advantage of the opportunity to clear their record, especially ahead of the upcoming holiday season when they find themselves on the road more frequently. “We believe these roadshows also pro-

vide an opportunity for open communication between the public and officials from the City’s traffic services and legal services,” says Mayco member for corporate services, Sharon Cottle. Motorists are reminded to take along their identity documents and a copy of the fines and/or warrant for which they would like to make representations. It is important to note that there will be no blanket reductions on any outstanding fines. Each representation made will be considered on its own merits by prosecutors.

Diabetes: Take care of yourself and don’t become a statistic Diabetes is an ongoing epidemic that continues to plague the lives of ordinary Capetonians and which is already causing more deaths than HIV and tuberculosis (TB). “Deaths are still on the rise. The number of newly affected are increasing and those that are affected are getting younger and younger. This new epidemic – diseases of lifestyle – is caused by a number of factors, including unhealthy diets, obesity and lack of sufficient exercise,” says Dr Zahid Badroodien, Mayco member for community services and health. Diabetes is one of the major diseases of lifestyle and is currently the number one natural cause of death in the Western Cape. “About 10% of our adult population currently have diabetes and this will increase to 20% by 2040. It is estimated that, in 20 years, one in five people will have diabetes,” says Badroodien. “The very worrying statistic is that the younger generation is being increasingly affected. Type 2 diabetes which accounts for around 90% of diabetes can be largely prevented by adopting a healthy lifestyle.” Badroodien says that the United Nations (UN) passed a resolution in 2006 to designate 14 November as World Diabetes Day. The occasion is aimed to raise awareness of diabetes, its prevention and complications, and the care that people with the condition need.

“The theme for this year’s World Diabetes Day and Diabetes month is the ‘Family and Diabetes’. The aim is to raise awareness of the impact that diabetes has on the family and the support network of those affected,” says Badroodien. “It also aims to promote the role of the family in the management, care, prevention and education of diabetes. If you live with diabetes, it doesn’t only impact you, it impacts your family as well. It’s crucial that families act together to tackle this epidemic.” One in two people with diabetes don’t

know they have it, and most have Type 2 diabetes. Left untreated or poorly managed, it can lead to life-changing complications like blindness, amputations, kidney failure, heart attacks and strokes. “Diabetes was responsible for four million deaths in 2017 globally. Families are urged to learn more about the warning signs as well as their risk for Type 2 diabetes.” Symptoms to look out for include: frequent urination, increased thirst, always feeling hungry, feeling very tired, blurry vision,

slow healing of cuts and wounds and tingling, numbness, or pain in the hands or feet “There are numerous resources available online and at your nearest primary healthcare facility. Education on diabetes prevention and treatment as well as routine screening and risk assessment services are available at all City clinics,” he says. “Our community services and health directorate also rolled out the Live Well Challenge a year ago to raise awareness about what constitutes healthy eating, and to provide access to regular exercise opportunities at our community facilities.” The programme has been piloted at eight clinics across the metropole and residents can enquire from their closest facility where they can join the challenge, which has also become an integral part of the City’s health promotions calendar and outreach programme. Residents can also consult their local community centre to find out what fitness programmes are on offer by the City’s recreation and parks departments. “We strongly advise you to use all these available resources in order to diagnose and treat you and your family (young or old) early in order to prevent all the serious complications which could result in long-term disability, poor quality of life and even death,” says Badroodien.

ince the rapid expansion of the school meant losing their reading room to accommodate more classrooms, Searidge Park Primary School are looking forward to implementing a new initiative when school opens next year. The school is using two containers and donated cable reels to create an outdoor reading area for children to use for contact sessions and during interval. “Not everyone wants to run around or play during intervals and this will give the children another opportunity to come and read a book during intervals,” says school principal Melanie Joy Ellman. The 11x8m section identified for the reading initiative is situated in front of the school. Ellman says they hope to have buy-in from business and residents who will assist them in covering the area with a carport. “We want to cover this so that the children are not sitting in the sun. We want them to be able to sit in shade and read,” says Ellman. Other than financial assistance and material donations, Ellman says they also need someone who can assist in erecting the carport. The books were donated by Letitia Booysen who will soon be retiring. Another parent is currently being trained to assist at the reading room.

In being proactive and addressing a littering issue at the school, management at Searidge Park Primary School have built several concrete bins with brick and cement, around the school premises. School principal Melanie Joy Ellman says they have a very active tuckshop, which is where the problem started. “Our tuckshop is very productive and with that comes sweet papers, chips packets and other papers.

Be ballsy and get checked for male-related cancers By doing the #FafChallenge during November and getting screened for testicular cancer, our Springbok Rugby World Cup champions have raised awareness of the need for men to have regular health check-ups. Movember is observed annually as part of the international campaign to build awareness about men’s health issues such as prostate and testicular cancer. The Western Cape government health urges men, particularly those who are over 40 years old, to go for a check-up at least once a year. Prostate and testicular cancers, especially when not detected early, can lead to difficult treatment, sterility, and even potentially a lifetime of hormone replacement therapy. It is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in South African men. This form of cancer is life threatening if left untreated. Symptoms of prostate cancer include: . A need to urinate frequently, especially at night . Difficulty starting urination or holding back urine . Weak or interrupted flow of urine . Painful or burning urination . Difficulty in having an erection . Painful ejaculation . Blood in urine or semen . Frequent pain or stiffness in the lower back, hips, or upper thighs Testicular cancer is the most common cancer in men aged 15 to 35 years old. It starts as an abnormal growth or tumour that develops in one or both testicles. There are several types of testicular

cancer, but the most common is the germ cell tumour. Symptoms of testicular cancer include: . A lump or swelling in the testicle . An increase in the firmness of a testicle . A difference between one testicle and the other . A dull ache or sharp pain in your testicles or scrotum, which may come and go . A feeling of heaviness in your scrotum Here’s how to perform a self-exam: . Set aside five minutes while you’re in the shower. A warm shower will relax the scrotum and the muscles holding the testicles, making an exam easier. . Starting with one side, gently roll the scrotum with your fingers to feel the surface of the testicle. . Check for any lumps, bumps or unusual features. Contrary to what many assume, cancerous tumours typically aren’t painful. . Make note of any changes in size over time. While the most common symptom of testicular cancer is a painless mass, some men experience swelling of the testicles and scrotum. . Switch sides and check the other testicle. If you notice a lump or any changes as mentioned above, you should seek medical advice and schedule an appointment immediately. Testicular cancer can spread very quickly and if detected early is one of the most curable cancers. Making daily healthy choices will improve your health and quality of life.

Cozland Beukes started the fundraiser in September, but quickly realised he could use this as an opportunity to empower himself beyond funding his studies. While this is still on the cards, and a goal he is working toward, Beukes wants to use the platform to show youth in his community that they can achieve more. “I want to show the youth and children here that you can make an opportunity for yourself. All it takes is for you to start. It does not matter how big or small it is,” he says.

Four-point lead for Bothasig SEAN CAMPBELL

T

wo home runs by Dayle Feldtman helped Bothasig Knights maintain their unbeaten run with a 10-6 victory over second-placed Bellville Tygers in their Cape Town Baseball Federation fixture played at the PP Smit Sports field on Saturday 7 December. Feldtman batted 3/4 including the two home runs, combined with Jared Elario’s 11 strikeouts set up the victory for Bothasig. Feldtman first homered in the third inning and then again in the ninth inning. Teammate Justin Lazarus also homered in the third inning. For Tygers, Jonathan Phillips also homered in the third inning and Wesley Greeff in the sixth inning. Benjamin Smith (3/5) and Darren Boltman (3/4) were Bothasig’s other top hitters. Jonathan Phillips (3/4), Wesley Greeff (2/4) and Haydn Matthee (2/5) did well for Tygers. Elario pitched six innings, giving up seven hits and walking two. He was replaced by former VOB Macaw player Kieran Moore. Moore pitched three innings, giving up two hits, one walk and striking out two hitters. Tygers started with usually reliable Kevin Townend who gave up six hits and six walks in his 4.2 innings pitched. Anthony Phillips pitched 3.1 innings with Jonathan Phillips pitching for the last out. The win gives Bothasig a four-point lead at the top of the log. At the Rooikrans Sports field in Grassy Park, home team Grassy Park Crusaders

squandered a 4-0 lead to lose 7-4 to VOB Macaws on Saturday. Crusaders made six errors compared to the three from VOB. Crusaders also recorded four double plays compared to the two of VOB. Derick Baylis (4/6), Lance Gordon (2/5) and Josh Rich (2/5) came out top for VOB with Liam Samuels (2/4), Sergill Thompson (2/4) and Fabian Matthee (2/4) hitting well for Crusaders. Both teams utilised three pitchers. In other Major League results, the home teams took the points. Athlone A’s beat Van der Stel 9-3 and Maitland Giants had the better of Durbanville Villains 13-2 in a match mixed with controversy and emotions. In the Promotion League, Helderberg Pirates beat Thistle 10-2 in a close game at Radloff Park in Somerset West. Seven runs from five hits, one error, a walk and a hit by pitch swung the game in Pirates’ favour after they held a slender 3-2 lead. Kieran Clackett and Darryn Chalmers shared the pitching duties for Pirates. Revan Plaatjies, Gavin Jefferies and Keagan Watson did duty for Thistle. In other Promotion League results, Lansdowne Eagles beat Silvertree Titans 14-4 and Westridge Yankees beat Battswood 21-5. The upcoming weekend sees teams playing on Saturday 14 December and Monday 16 December, which is a public holiday. Thereafter the teams take a short festive break.

A

vendale’s purple patch came to an abrupt halt when they were beaten by three wickets against Pinelands Cricket Club in their Western Province Cricket Association first division B game on Saturday 7 December. Avendale, who batted first, were dismissed for only 125. In reply, Pinelands lost wickets at regular intervals, but opener Mubashir Vallie (60) stood firm and saw his team home with seven wickets down. Mitchell’s Plain were in good nick, recording a comfortable 42-run win over Heideveld. After scoring 156, Mitchell’s Plain had Shaun Damons (5/21) to thank as he put the skids on the opposition batsmen as Heideveld were dismissed for 114. At Green Point Track, hosts United scored a much-needed win over Edgemead with a three-wicket win thanks to an undefeated 60 by all rounder Kieron Kenny.
