TYGERBERG HOSPITAL: BUCKLING UNDER THE BURDEN
Covid regulations flouted DESIRÉE RORKE @dezzierorke
A
s the second wave of Covid-19 crushes over Cape Town, the trauma unit at Tygerberg Hospital seems to be buckling under the burden. A reliable and authoritative source divulged to TygerBurger that the trauma unit was flooded with patients last weekend, while Covid-19 health regulations were flouted. The identity of the source, known to
TygerBurger, is being protected. “There was simply not enough space for all the patients. Patients, lying in trollies and others propped up in chairs very close to each other, were lining up in the waiting area. “Little to no Covid-19 screenings were done and patients that should have been in the patient unit investigation area for Covid19 were not. All systems failed, and patients could not even be properly triaged,” the source said.
Triage systems are methods that systematically prioritise patients’ treatment according to how urgent they need care. It thus influences the order and priority of emergency treatment. According to the source, panicked trauma staff were told by hospital management that there was not much they could do to salvage the situation. “With cases increasing this situation is untenable and has to be salvaged to protect patients, healthcare workers and stop the spread of the virus,” the source said.
According to the source, trauma unit staff were desperate and didn’t know who to turn to. TygerBurger approached the provincial health department, the hospital and the minister of health, Nomafrench Mbombo, with an urgent media inquiry on Friday. Questions posed centre around how fast and how effectively the situation at the trauma unit can be turned around. At the time of going to print the department had not responded to these questions.

‘No power in numbers’ T
he Northern Tygerberg subdistricts in the metro have been identified as a great concern, with an increase in Covid-19 infections recorded this week in Bothasig, Bonteheuwel, Delft, Durbanville and Kraaifontein. Contact tracing lead Delaray Fourie continues to monitor cases with her team closely, and has urged residents to keep safe. “There is no power in numbers this festive season,” he says, “for this means we need to avoid crowded spaces or large gatherings. If you do enter a crowded space, like a shop or beach, remember to wear your mask and keep a distance. We cannot let our guards down. The virus is still here. Power in numbers during Covid-19 means we band together and keep each other safe by follow-
ing the rules.” Fourie encourages residents to know their Covid-19 status and take the necessary precautions to prevent the spread. “If you went for a test you need to isolate until you receive your results,” he said. “If you have tested positive you need to isolate. Avoid attending any gatherings or allowing close contact with anyone until you have recovered or have certainty on your status. While this is not an easy journey, we can do our bit by isolating to contain the spread. Together we can overcome this virus.” Northern and Tygerberg subdistricts recorded six and 15 new deaths, respectively. “Every single resident should assume Covid-19 is everywhere they go and take all
the necessary precautions at every point along their journey,” says Fourie. “To protect our loved ones we need to take this virus seriously and change how we take part in everyday activities, from visiting our local malls to doing holiday shopping or attending end-of-year or ‘breaking-up’ festivities. “It cannot be business as usual amid this pandemic. Wear a mask properly and change it regularly. Remember to wash your cloth mask. Aim to change your mask every day. Continue to practise physical distancing of 1.5 m from others, particularly in crowded spaces, such as queues when shopping. Regularly wash your hands with water and soap, or use sanitiser, whether you’re at home, work or outdoors.”

’n Krediteure-klerk wat vir die Suid-Afrikaanse Rugbyunie gewerk het en haar man is verlede week tronkstraf opgelê nadat hulle meer as R3 miljoen van die unie gesteel het. Berenice Knockpaal (44) en haar man, Carlo Wayne, is verlede Donderdag in Bellville-handelshof gevonnis. Die twee is skuldig bevind aan geldwassery en bedrog. Volgens Eric Ntabazalila, woordvoerder van die nasionale vervolgingsgesag (NVG), het die oortredings tussen 2014 en 2018 plaasgevind toe Berenice as krediteureklerk gewerk het. Sy het verskaffers se fakture verwerk en hulle betaal. Sy het egter Saru se bankbesonderhede vervang met haar man s’n en
R3.4 miljoen daarin betaal. Die egpaar het toe die geld gebruik om inkopies te doen en het dit ook onttrek en oorgeplaas na ander rekeninge in ’n poging om die bron te verdoesel. Die egpaar het twee kinders. Volgens Ntabazalila is daar aan die hof gesê dit was moeilik om bewyse vir hierdie misdade te kry en dat dit tydrowende ondersoekwerk geverg het. Die NVG het die vonnis verwelkom. Berenice is weens bedrog tot 14 jaar tronkstraf gevonnis, waarvan sewe jaar opgeskort is. Sy het ook vyf jaar tronkstraf opgelê weens geldwassery. Die vonnisse sal samelopend uitgedien word, wat beteken sy sal effektiewelik sewe jaar tronkstraf uitdien. Carlo is ’n buitevonnis opgelê. Hy is onder meer drie jaar korrektiewe toesig opgelê en is onder huisarres geplaas.

Onderwysers skryf oor ervarings in boek CARINA ROUX
D
ie wedervaringe van twaalf vroue wat almal unieke stories het, maar ’n passie vir onderrig deel, is saamgevat deur Eleanor Damon in die boek: Onderwys: ’n edele roeping – Teaching a noble calling wat op Donderdag 10 Desember by Suzie’s Coffeeshop in Kuilsrivier bekend gestel is. Damon, gebore en getoë in Pniël, het meer as 40 jaar onderwyservaring en woon deesdae in Sandbaai. Die vroue wat by die projek betrek is kom uit verskillende agtergronde met die oudste, Miemie Hendricks (95), wat reeds in 1945 begin skoolgee het. Plaaslik het Hazel Goliath van Highbury, wat onder meer in Kraaifontein, Bishop Lavis en Bonteheuwel skoolgehou het en as kurrikulum-adviseer by die Wes-Kaapse onderwysdepartement afgetree het, haar ondervinding gedeel. Goliath was in die jare sewentig ’n kollegemaat van Damon en het op ’n plaas in die Oos-Kaap grootgeword. As kind het sy eers gedink sy sou verpleegster word, maar die non in die kloosterskool het vir haar gesê sy is “ ’n gebore-onderwyser”. Goliath het by die bekendstelling herinneringe, van inkpenne in haar skooldae tot Commodore-rekenaars, as onderwyser opgediep. Ná ’n aanvanklike standerd 8 het sy al begin skoolgee, later haar matriek privaat voltooi, aan Bellville-kollege verder studeer en later jare met ’n beurs by Stanford Universiteit in Amerika haar meestersgraad voltooi. Sy sê sy hoop hulle kan met die boek, veral ná die moeilike jaar, vir onderwysers inspirasie bring.
Mary-Anne en Kobus Oliphant van Kraaifontein was gaste by die bekendstelling by Suzie’s Coffeeshop. Vir Damon is ’n nalatenskap belangrik. Sy sê as sy dink aan hoe swaar dinge soms in haar eie loopbaanwas, dan hoop sy dat die boek aan voornemende onderwysers ook leiding en insig kan verskaf. Haar suster, Gameeda Henry, het gehelp om van die onderwysers betrokke te kry om hul ervarings te deel. Prof. Michael le Cordeur van die Universiteit Stellenbosch (en oud-onderwyser), sê in ’n onderskrywing van die boek hy het dit

ie lewe van die Brackenfellse sakeman Japie Scholtz (64) is op 9 Desember gevier by ’n samekoms by die Withuis sosiale klub in Brackenfell. Oom Japie, soos hy alom in die gemeenskap bekend gestaan het, het verlede Vrydagmiddag 4 Desember by sy huis in Proteahoogte aan ’n massiewe hartaanval beswyk. Sy gunsteling-sêding was “Ek lief Brackenfell!” en net so was hy ook baie geliefd by lede van die gemeenskap wat hulde gebring het. “Sy skielike dood was nogal ’n skok. Oom Japie was ’n goeie siel. Ek het hom jare gelede op die Brackenfell-polisie se fietstoer ontmoet en ons het sommer op die eerste dag gekliek. In die jare wat gevolg het, was daar baie diep gesprekke. Hy was ’n yster en sal baie gemis word,” sê Bouwer Schoonwinkel. Bessie Bester sal Oom Japie onthou is iemand met ’n hart van goud wat altyd bereid was om te help. “Japie was almal se pel. Jy was beslis geliefd, my Uncle. Jou legacy sal voortleef. Jy was happy met baie min en het nooit gevra nie, net gegee,” sê Bester. ’n Insamelingsfonds by die Withuis is deur die gemeenskap ondersteun om die koste van Oom Japie se verassing te dek. Oom Japie is in Ceres gebore waar hy en sy vrou van 42 jaar, Clecia, in 1981 haar ouers se besigheid, Union Cycles, oorgeneem het. In 2000 het hulle die besigheid, wat in 2008 verander is na Union Signs, Brackenfell toe gebring. Hy was veral bekend by motorwedrenentoesiaste en het baie renjaers se ren-
Japie Scholtz motors geborg en was self ’n liefhebber van die sport. “Enjoy the ride!” was sy ander gunsteling- sêding en so sal hy ook in motorsportkringe onthou word. Op 19 Desember sal ’n gedenkdiens vir hom plaasvind by die Withuis sosiale klub vanaf 11:00, gevolg deur ’n braai. Hy laat benewens sy vrou ook ’n nabye familievriendin, Marilize Treurnicht, agter.

Limit on braai and picnic spots A
s from last weekend a limited number of visitors will be allowed at picnic spots and braai areas within the City of Cape Town’s nature reserves. The City manages 21 nature reserves that are popular destinations, particularly over weekends and on public holidays. Apart from hiking and water activities, some reserves have picnic and braai areas where visitors can relax and socialise with friends and family. Being open air spaces reserves are a relatively safe option amidst the Covid-19 pandemic, but the picnic spots and braai areas have become very crowded lately. The City’s Mayco member for spatial planning and environment, Marian Nieuwoudt, said due to the steep increase in Covid-19 positive cases locally, “the City has no alternative but to restrict the number of visitors to picnic spots and braai areas as and when needed. This is to ensure we comply with the health and safety protocols required to limit the spread of the pandemic, and to protect our visitors and staff as far as possible.” Visitors and residents are still welcome but must wear masks and adhere to
social distancing. ‘‘Those wanting to have a picnic in a reserve are advised to please adhere to the restrictions, should they arrive at their destination and the picnic or braai area cannot hold any more people at a safe social distance,’’ said Nieuwoudt. The restriction on the number of visitors at picnic and braai areas will apply as follows: . currently until further notice; . as and when needed, depending on the number of visitors; . in accordance with the Covid-19 health and safety protocols; . no alcohol is allowed in the City’s nature reserves, with the exception of pre-approved events; . visitor numbers per event, film shoot or hall booking will have to comply with Covid-19 lockdown regulations. Blaauwberg, Table Bay, Durbanville, Bracken, Helderberg, and False Bay nature reserves have picnic and braai areas. Other areas in the nature reserves, including the hiking trails and open waterbodies, will be accessible as per normal on condition that visitors comply with the Covid-19 health protocols.
Keeping children safe at the beach The City of Cape Town’s Identikidz programme, which registers and issues children at the beach with an identification armband, will be available at 16 beaches during the festive season. The programme ensures the safety of children who may get lost, disorientated in the crowds or wander away from their parents or caregivers. Visitors are encouraged to register their children on arrival at the beach, with the Identikidz staff who will be dressed in orange T-shirts. ‘‘Parents and guardians are reminded that it’s not a babysitting service and should not replace the responsibility of parents to supervise their children at all times while they’re on the beach,” said the City’s Mayco member for community services and health, Zahid Badroodien. ‘‘It simply means should a child wander away, we are able to find their family. During the previous season, 535 children were reunited with their parents or caregivers, while 15 were handed over to the department of social development when they could not be returned to their families. It is traumatic for children when they cannot find their loved ones, and I implore parents and guardians to be vigilant.” The City’s beaches are popular during the festive season, and contributing factors to children going missing on beaches include: . Children visiting beaches without pa-
The Identikidz armband can help to reunite lost children with their parents or caregivers. rents or an adult; . Parents or guardians intoxicated and not realising the child is gone; . Parents leaving the beach without their children; . Parents do not supervise their children while at the beach. ‘‘Most parents are responsive to the programme and this contributes to its success,” Badroodien said. “They bring their children and come looking for the Identikidz stations on the beaches and the young ones know where to come if they get lost.’’ V The participating beaches are: Muizenberg, Fish Hoek, Strandfontein, Gordon’s Bay, Strand, Monwabisi, Harmony Park, Mnandi, Big Bay, Sea Point, Silverstroom, Camps Bay, Lagoon Beach, Melkbosstrand, Milnerton Beach and Maiden’s Cove.

Summer health risks and how to prepare for it It’s tempting to give over any responsibility and enjoy your holiday to the maximum. There are a range of risks out there, however, and an emergency medical service says it’s best to be prepared. ER24 communications officer Russel Meiring says emergency services are generally very busy during the festive season. “The public will start making their way to various holiday destinations, which sees an increase in traffic – this in itself will see an increase in the number of motor vehicle collisions,” he says. Here’s why, and how you can avoid them.
Top 5 health risks Meiring says ER24 teams are regularly called into action over the holiday season to attend to the top 5 health risks in South Africa over the holidays, which are: . Drownings, . Heat-related injuries, . Burns, . Breathing difficulties and . Bites and stings. “Watersports are a lot of fun,” says Meiring, “but if you or your children are not experienced in performing them safely and correctly, they can lead to accidents. You must ensure there is adequate adult supervision.” In SA, summer brings high temperatures and dry air: these can cause dehydration and allergy-related breathing issues, especially if you are unaccustomed to them, says Meiring. Stay hydrated, be wary of staying outdoors too long, and watch children closely for signs of allergies. Drownings Safe swimming for children: . Never allow a child to swim without adult supervision. Also, never leave youngsters unsupervised around water bowls or bathtubs for example. . You can drown in approximately two centimetres of water. . Ensure children wear a life jacket if they cannot swim. . Keep your pool covered with an approved cover when not in use. Safe swimming in open water: . Do not swim too far out into the ocean. After a while, you may struggle due to fatigue or get swept away further due to strong currents. . Wearing a life jacket is vital. Remember your life jacket when participating in water sports such as boating, tubing or rafting. . When at the ocean, swim in designated areas that are supervised by lifeguards. . Never swim alone. . Remember that swimming in open water is not the same as swimming in a pool. . Never dive or jump into unfamiliar
or shallow water. What to do if someone is drowning? . If you are at the coast and you see a person drowning, alert a lifeguard immediately. If you decide to save the person yourself, ensure you wear a floatation device. . If you find a person drowning and are able to get them out of the water, initiate CPR if there is no pulse and breathing. . Do not stop CPR unless the victim starts to breathe on his/her own. . Call for an ambulance as soon as possible and tell them what you are doing so they can send the correct level of care. . Do not put the person in the car and drive to hospital. You may be involved in an accident due to panic or the victim may suffer brain damage while en route to hospital. . In case of a near drowning, seek medical attention as soon as possible and explain clearly to medical staff what has happened. There are instances where secondary drowning occurs. This is more common in children than adults and may be difficult to recognise. The person may seem okay even though they have taken in water that finds its way to the lungs.
Burns When it comes to burns, don’t . remove burnt clothing that is stuck to the body; .use very cold water or ice on a burn; . apply ointments, jellies, sprays of first-aid creams to severe burns; . burst blisters. Do: . remove clothing and jewellery that has been burnt; . run tap water or room temperature water over the burn; . apply a loose, clean, dry cloth or bandage to the burnt area after it has cooled and seek medical care. Heat-related injuries Heat-related injuries will present in four categories: . heat cramps (mild) . heat cramps (intermediate) . heat exhaustion and . heatstroke (severe). A child who is dehydrated will have: . dry mouth and tongue . no tears when crying . less wet nappies than usual . sunken eyes, cheeks . a sunken soft spot on top of the skull (babies) . a listless or irritable demeanour An adult suffering from dehydration will experience: . extreme thirst . less frequent urination . dark-coloured urine . datigue . dizziness V ER24 can be contacted for any medical emergency on 084 124.

s jy dit nog nie geweet het nie, slangseisoen is amptelik met ons. Johnny “Snakes” Fisher, bekende slangvanger van die Wes-Kaap, sê dit wil voorkom asof slangseisoen vanjaar vroeër gekom het. “Ek het reeds 53 slange by mense se huise gaan haal. Die meeste hiervan is die giftige Kaapse kobra. Dit is baie meer as in die oorstemmende tyd in die ander jare. Ek weet nie waaraan dit toegeskryf kan word nie, maar dit is kommerwekkend. Brandpunte is Brackenfell, Durbanville en Kuilsrivier,” sê Fisher. Volgens Fisher het die teenwoordigheid van slange by woonhuise met baie faktore te make. “Eerstens soek slange kos en water. Hulle gaan na swembaddens of plekke waar daar baie water is. Slakke is byvoorbeeld een van die goed wat hulle eet, so as daar baie slakke in jou tuin is, moet jy weet jy is ’n teiken. Troeteldiere soos hoenders is ook ’n groot aandagtrekker. In baie gevalle word die slange se habitat versteur deur ontbossing vir ontwikkeling en hulle kies dan koers na mense se huise. Ek raai mense aan om hul tuine en agterplase skoon te hou, want dit is waar slange skuil. Maak ook seker jou huis se deur is laag teen die vloer sodat slange nie onderdeur kan seil nie,” sê Fisher. Hy moes onlangs vinnig spring toe kinders naby ’n slangnes in hul agterplaas gespeel het. “As die ouers nie die slang gesien het nie, was daar moeilikheid. Ek sidder om te dink wat sou gebeur het as daai slang een van die kinders gepik het,” sê hy. In ’n ander voorval moes hy ’n Mosambiekse spoegkobra by ’n man se huis gaan haal. “Daai tipe slange kom nie in die Wes-

Hy sê hy het onlangs in die Kruger-wildtuin vakansie gehou, so die vermoede is dat die slang van daar ’n rygeleentheid gekry het,” sê hy. Fisher waarsku dat mense wat slange sien nie moet probeer om dit self te vang nie, maar hom eerder by 072 275 4790 of Charl du Toit by 082 959 5142 moet bel. Mense kan ook SCJ-sekerheidsmaatskappy, vir wie Fisher werk, se beheerkamer by 086 175 2911 bel.

WAT DIE HART VAN VOL IS
Verander dít wat jy kan Een ding wat 2020 my opnuut laat besef het: Ek is in beheer van my eie aksies en denke en moet maar net aanvaar daar is dinge wat ek nie kan beheer of verander nie, selfs wanneer jy die moed het om te probeer . . . Want kyk, ek en jy (die persoon wat vrees vir jou eie of ’n familielid se lewe, die ministers, premier en selfs die president) kan nou maar praat en smeek tot ons blou is, maar daar sal altyd ’n klomp dwarstrekkers wees. Dit is nou die ouens (en vrouens) wat alles uitmaak as ’n klug of sameswering, die “ag, dit sal nie met my gebeur nie”-brigade, die wat glo ons maak ’n bohaai oor niks “want dit is eintlik nie so erg nie”, of die mamparras. Dan is daar ook dié wie se aksies jou laat wonder. Dit is so amper asof hulle glo ’n virus pas aan by inperkingsvlakke, of raak eers aansteeklik wanneer jou toets positief terugkom. Vir hulle gaan die lewe maar aan soos normaal – winkels toe, werk toe en persoonlike kontak met Jan Rap en sy maat tussen die tyd wat die monster geneem is en die uitslag kom. Dalk pas hulle ook in onder die mamparras, besluit jy maar. Ek verstom my Jy mag ook ook aan die mense wat daarop aandring aantal glo die virus diskrimineer dat ander hul volgens woongemasker in jou bied, ras of teenwoordigheid rykdom en dat slegs sekere dra – selfs al neem bevolkingsgroepe hou by die hulle aanstoot. regulasies. Kom nou mense, skrik wakker! Maar daardie skreeu val ook op dowe, of eerder, die verkeerde ore, want ons preek mos maar altyd vir die koor. So lees ek vanoggend nóg ’n persoon se uitlating, en al die kommentaar daarop, op sosiale media oor hoe min “sekere mense” hulle aan die regulasies steur, en ek dink weer terug aan die dag wat ek die tannie by die kafee vir die hoeveelste keer versoek het (dié keer voor die eienaar) om asseblief haar masker reg te dra. Gewoonlik hang dit laag genoeg dat jy haar bolip kan sien, maar op hierdie dag sommer daaronder op die ken. Sy trek dit met ’n houding oor haar gesig en gaan aan om my te help, maar teen die tyd dat ek van die toonbank wegstap, is haar bolip maar weer sigbaar. Aan die ander kant kerm iemand op sosiale media omdat sy deur ’n erg besorgde (dalk selfs angsbevange) ma in ’n winkelsentrum versoek is om nie ’n hysbak met die ma en haar familie te deel nie. ’n Paar inskrywings verder vaar ’n familielid uit oor mense wat eenvoudig nie kan verstaan dat selfs een sosiale kuier nie haar kinders met hul kroniese longsiektes se lewe werd is nie. Dit bring my terug by my punt: ons kan kla en smeek tot ons blou is, maar die dwarstrekkers sal maar altyd hul eie neuse volg totdat hulle self geraak word. Hulle skrik eers wakker as daai toets positief terugkom, of iemand na aan hulle aan ’n Covid-19 verwante toestand sterf. Wat ons wel kan doen, is om ons eie aksies, houding en die omgewing om ons te beheer. Dra jou masker, reinig soveel goed rondom jou soos dit jou pas – maak nie saak wie wat sê nie. En onthou, net soos jy die reg het om nee dankie te sê vir uitnodigings na sosiale kuiers en groepsgeleenthede hierdie feestyd en dit jou keuse is watter winkels en sentrums om te besoek, het jy ook die volste reg om iemand te vra om nog ’n tree verder weg te staan, of nie ’n hysbak te deel nie. Jy mag ook daarop aandring dat ander hul masker in jou teenwoordigheid dra – selfs al neem hulle aanstoot – want anders as die dwarstrekkers is dit nie net ons eie en ons familie se veiligheid en gesondheid oor wie ons besorg is nie, maar ook hulle s’n. Aan al ons lesers, ’n veilige, geseënde en gesonde feestyd. – Cecilia Hume (Redakteur)

The year in review | Die jaar wat was This year has been one for the history books with Covid-19 dominating headlines around the world throughout the year. While words like coronavirus, comorbidities, lockdown, pandemic, work-from-home, facemask, sanitiser, quarantine, self-isolate, and (only in South Africa) prohibition and cigarette ban, became part of our daily lives and vocabulary, not every news story revolved around Covid-19.

Kompetisie keer in 2021 weer terug E
en van Suid-Afrika se invloedrykste musiekkompetisies, die jaarlikse Nasionale Jeugmusiekkompetisie (NJMK) wat vanjaar weens die viruspandemie gekanselleer moes word, is oorgehaal om in 2021 te hervat. Die kompetisie vir klassieke instrumentaliste tussen 14 en 19 jaar skuif volgende jaar na ’n vroeër tydgleuf. Gewoonlik word dit in Oktober aangebied. Die 2021 NJMK sal van 3 tot 7 Augustus 2021 by die Hugo Lambrechts-ouditorium in Parow plaasvind. Prysgeld van R145 000, ’n goue, silwer- en bronsmedaljes is op die spel. Voornemende deelnemers kan in vyf kategorieë meeding – Klavier, Strykinstrumente, Houtblaasinstrumente, Koperblaasinstrumente en Ander wat instrumente soos harp en slagwerk insluit. Die sluitingsdatum vir die kompetisie wat deur die Nasionale Jeugmusiekstigting (NJMS) aangebied word, is 29 Maart 2021. Die voornemende kandidate moet dan oudi-
sievideo’s vir die keuringsronde voorlê. Die kompetisie is die vlagskip van die NJMS onder voorsitterskap van Michael Maas, wat die kompetisie 36 jaar gelede in Port Elizabeth begin het. “Die NJMS hou die ontwikkelings rondom Covid-19 fyn dop. Ons is gereed vir enige opslagballe wat uit die pandemie voortvloei,” sê Maas. Die NJMK word beskryf as een van die strafste musiekkompetisies in Suid-Afrika. Die kompetisie vereis stamina, tegniese uitmuntendheid en sterk vertolkings. Die deelnemers wedywer oor vier rondes waartydens hulle ’n wye repertoire van werke uit verskillende eras moet speel. Meer as 100 verskillende werke word gewoonlik oor die vier rondes van die kompetisie uitgevoer.“Deur die registrasie voor die feestyd te open, glo ons dat voornemende kandidate die vakansie kan gebruik om hul musikale vaardighede te slyp,” sê Maas.

A safe haven for vulnerable women and children
F
or many non-profit organisations (NPOs) that support victims of gender-based violence (GBV) a constant food supply is of utmost importance. One NPO that assists such survivors is the Tehillah Community Collaborative, which has been operating a temporary safe haven, House of Magda, for more than 20 years without any government funding. The house is run by Sr Magda Kleyn. Thankfully organisations such as FoodForward SA do offer some relief. “Supporting organisations that care diligently for vulnerable chil-
dren and women are a priority for FoodForward SA,” says Andy du Plessis, FoodForward SA Managing Director. “They receive nutritious surplus food that significantly reduces their monthly grocery bill. More importantly, they are able to give survivors of gender-based violence the means to leave their abusers.” For the past decade House of Magda has been offering life changing support from the facilities of the old Avonwood Primary School building in Elsies River. It can accommodate 110 adults and 15 children. Muriel Thebus is one of the
many women who are thankful for their support. After falling ill and surviving physical abuse while living on the streets, Thebus was referred to House of Magda by staff at the Elsies River Day Hospital. She said: “I often went without food and I am very grateful to the people at Elsies River Day Hospital for getting me into the shelter. Ihave a roof over my head and a warm bed to sleep in.

live a healthy life.” Du Plessis says his organisation’s beneficiary organisations offer life saving support. “Vulnerable groups such as abused children and women are severely impacted by a weak economy, food insecurity and pandemics. Lack of access to food can exacerbate the vicious cycle of abuse,” he says. “The frustration of not being able to eat or provide for their families can result in gender-based violence, which can lead to a variety of psychological, health and economic consequences for the survivor and her children.”

COVID-19: HOOPVOL VIR WEDSTRYDE VOLGENDE MAAND
Geen verdere krieket nie SAREL BURGER
A
lle vriendskaplike krieketwedstryde en verwante aktiwiteite in die Westelike Provinsie is vir die res van hierdie jaar opgeskort nadat Covid-19-virusgevalle blykbaar by onlangse wedstryde in die suidelike voorstede opgeduik het. In ’n mediaverklaring wat die WP Krieketunie (WPKU) die afgelope naweek uitgereik het, word beklemtoon dat dit nie ’n besluit was wat ligtelik geneem is nie. Dit was inderdaad eers ná deeglike oorwegings en beraadslaging met verskillende regerings- sowel as provinsiale instansies dat gevoel is geen krieketbyeenkomste van enige aard sal tot minstens 31 Desember toelaatbaar wees nie. Die WPKU spreek nietemin terselfdertyd sy dank uit dat die meeste klubs die inperkingmaatreëls getrou nagekom het, terwyl die klubs geleidelik besig was met hul voorbereidings vir hierdie somer se krieketpro-
gram. Die WPKU-bestuur bly egter steeds hoopvol dat die wedstrydprogram teen die middel van aanstaande maand onderweg sal kan kom.
Skolekrieket Veertien skole se eerste krieketspanne sal met die heropening van die skole volgende jaar sake uitspook in die Tygerbergstreek se jaarlikse Sammy Bloch/Medicare Aptekeuitklopkompetisie. Die loting vir die wedstryde in die eerste ronde (tuisspanne eerste) is: HTS Bellville t Fairmont, De Kuilen t D.F. Malan, Edgemead t HS Tygerberg, Fairbairn t HS Bellville, HS Durbanville t Parow, The Settlers t Brackenfell. Twee spanne – Curro Durbanville, die verdedigende kampioen, en Stellenberg – het loslootjies vir die eerste sarsie kragmetings en sluit hulle in die kwarteindronde aan by die wenners van die wedstryde in die eerste ronde.
Dune Dusters will be in CT Red Bull Dune Dusters is coming to the Mother City on 16 December at the Atlantis Dunes to see who can conquer the sand in a brutal 8km course. The fittest runners in Cape Town will compete to see who can outlast and overcome the Atlantis Dunes while internally debating whether to tackle the world’s toughest race in shoes or simply barefoot. Red Bull Dune Dusters is a perfect fit for Cape Town as it’s home to one of the largest fitness communities in South Africa. Racers will kick off the race at 08:00 and wrap up at 12:00 with the 2020 champion being crowned at one of the world’s most perfect sandy locations that carries an ever-
changing landscape of pure white sand dunes reaching up to 50 metres high. The race has 250 participants and is open to men and women. With its soft sand and steep dunes, the race challenges muscles athletes didn’t even know they had and running in deep sand also means that one step forward is usually accompanied by half a step back. But it’s not all gloom and hardship, Red Bull Dune Dusters is considered one of the most entertaining races in the world – reaching the finish line makes tackling those dunes all the more worthwhile. For more info on the 2020 Red Bull Dune Dusters visit www.redbull.com/za-en/ events/red-bull-dune-dusters.
