Farmers donate fresh produce K

WAZULU-NATAL farmers, from various farming communities across the province, this week responded to the desperate calls of dwindling food supplies in local communities in their areas, following the nationwide lockdown.

Farmers from Ixopo, Highflats, Kokstad, Mount Currie and Mooi River all reacted swiftly by donating fresh and dry produce, seedlings and milk to surrounding rural communities.

The farmers also partnered with local organisations, churches and local municipalities to provide essential supplies for over 4 500 families.

In the Ixopo area, together with the local municipality, Woza Moya Foundation, a community-based NGO located in the Ifafa Valley; the Creighton Sunflower Fund, a humanitarian NPO based in Creighton; and farmers identified the most vulnerable communities nearby.

They put together food parcels, and then distributed these door-to-door.

Among the contributions were fresh and dry produce, seedlings, as well as financial donations, which were used to buy produce from emerging farmers to sustain these communities in the upcoming weeks.

“When we heard that spaza shops were not among the initial list of essential suppliers, we knew our local communities would suffer greatly and that we needed to help,” said Bruce Allwood, Chairman on the Ixopo Farmers’ Association Trust.

“Our community caregivers carried out assessments, calculating the number of fami-

lies running out of food or, quite frankly, starving.

Many of these families made extra money through stalls on the side of the road or at schools and, without this income, cannot survive on social grants,” said founder of Woza Moya, Sue Hedden.

“The response was overwhelming, with R30 000 in financial donations and approximately 10 tons of food distributed to 200 families in the Ubuhlebezwe region,” said John Bredin, former Chairman of the Ixopo Highflats Farmers’ Association.

Meanwhile, the neighbouring farming communities of Kokstad and Mount Currie, together with their local municipality, the Kokstad Community Care Centre, the Kokstad Chamber of Commerce, local ward councillors and churches also identified those in need in their communities, and saw farmers donating 5 000 bottles of milk, cabbages, tomatoes, maize, potatoes, fruit as well as other fresh and dry produce which were collected, packaged and delivered doorto-door.

“We had to act quickly and began to rally the support of the community,” said Mount Currie Farmers’ Association and Kokstad Chamber of Commerce public relations spokesperson, Candace Wood.

“We have seen incredible pledges and bulk deliveries from farmers who are all too eager to get involved. We have been able to assist over 700 families in the Greater Kokstad region and the list keeps on growing,” said Wood.

Kwanalu CEO, Sandy La Marque com-

mended the efforts of these farmers during the lockdown period.

“The selflessness, rapid organisation and collaboration of these farmers is truly outstanding and pays testament to the generosity and strength of the relationships the farmers have with their local authorities and lo-

cal communities. We are incredibly proud of the work these farmers are doing for those in need and look forward to seeing more projects like this for our nation’s benefit as a whole,” said La Marque.

COVID-19 PARENTING

Keeping it positive

Say the behaviour you want to see Use positive words when telling your child what to do; like “Please put your clothes away” (instead of “don’t make a mess”).

It’s all the delivery

Shouting at your child will just make you and them more stressed and angrier. Get your child’s attention by using their name and speak in a calm voice.

Be supportive

Help your teen stay connected Teens especially need to be able to communicate with their friends. Help your teen connect through social media and other safe distancing ways. This is something you can do together too!

Get real Can your child actually do what you are asking them? It is very hard for a child to keep quiet inside for a whole day but maybe they can keep quiet for 15 minutes while your are on a call! [source: https://www.who.int/docs| E&EO]

Your child may be scared or confused. Give them space to share how they are feeling and let them know you are there for them. Praise them when they are behaving well.

OMING to the assistance of the hungry during South Africa’s nationwide lockdown, MP Dr Nobuhle Nkabane partnered with the Al-Imdaad Foundation and handed over food packs to 60 people from four rural villages at the Mfundweni Community Hall in Umzimkhulu yesterday, April 23.

Dr Nkabane said that the communities who benefitted were identified by ward committees.

“We don’t want people to die because of hunger during the lockdown,” said Dr Nkabane, adding that disaster management protocols and regulations were followed at the handover.

Naaem Khan from the Al-Imdaad Foundation said that the foundation is supporting many families through disaster relief programmes during this difficult time of the lockdown.

The lockdown was launched from midnight on March 26 to avoid the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic, but it also forced many workplaces to

close their operations.

In Kokstad, local businesses also joined hands in feeding needy families. On Saturday, April 18, the NX Advertising worked with Kokstad Child Welfare and a local pharmacy to hand out groceries to 25 families in Twistville, Kokstad.

Xolani Ntsalaze of NX Advertising said: “Our target was to feed 420 families on that day, but due to the number of donated parcels, we ended up giving out food parcels to just 25 families,” said Ntsalaze, appealing for more support.

OVER 90 000 residents have been screened for Covid-19 in the Alfred Nzo District following the launch of the screening campaign recently.

The Alfred Nzo District Municipality confirmed zerio cases of the pandemic in a statement released on Tuesday, April 21.

The district mayor Sixolile Mehlomakhulu said that the mass screening campaign is being done by the Department of Health.

“The mass screening is being done with testing of the virus by health officials who visit communities across the rural district,” said Mehlomakhulu, adding that hotspots that were identified by the Department of Health are on priority.

He stated that the high risk areas are the places closer to the national roads and areas that were previously suspected to have had positive cases.

“The programme has been met

with resistance in some areas with communities refusing to be screened.

To this regard I made a plea to the people of Alfred Nzo District to comply and ensure that the vast majority of the population is being screened and tested,” he said.

He said that the purpose of the screening is to pick up the virus in time to allow government to take relevant measures to assist the affected individuals and to curb futher spread to save more lives.

The mass screening and testing rollout shall continue and updates will be done via electronic, print, loud hailing and digital media, the municipality said in a statement, asking residents to adhere to the lockdown regulations, wash their hands with soap and water for 20 seconds or use 60% alcohol sanitiser and to observe the social distance requirements of one metre between individuals.

Reusable, washable cloth face masks have been recommended for the general public by the World Health Organisation.

Kokstad advertising company joins Covid-19 fight by making washable face masks SIPHELELE NKETO >>siphelele@media24.com THE recommendation of using face masks by health professionals to avoid the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic has led to a Kokstad company, NX Advertising, making reusable three-layer masks for individuals and for local businesses.

More use of masks by the general public and employees could help stop the spread of the virus. Xolani Ntsa-

laze, the co-founder NX Advertising said they started making the masks two weeks ago after noticing a high demand at workplaces and in communities.

“The masks are affordable to the locals and are safe.

“We made the masks so people would not have to keep buying disposable masks daily. Ours can be washed, and reused,” he said.

He added that he is working with three local people to make the masks

they are using good quality material.

“The masks are carefully made so it is easy to breath and talk while wearing them,” said Ntsalaze.

He added that the masks can be delivered to households or local businesses.

Wearing a mask is highly recommended in public settings especially in places where other social distancing measures are difficult to maintain like in retail stores or while using public transport.

SIPHELELE NKETO >>siphelele@media24.com THE Department of Health in the Harry Gwala District said that screening and testing for the Covid19 pandemic and other diseases began well on April 15, with health officials, nurses, caregivers and doctors visiting communities.

The KZN Department of Health reported one positive case of Covid19 in Harry Gwala on April 19.

The district health spokesperson Silindile Mabaso said that 17 teams, consisting of professional nurses, community health workers, health officials and sometimes doctors are on the ground screening residents for Covid-19 and other diseases like tuberculosis, diabetes, and HIV. She said they are doing door-to-

door visits in areas with a high population, and when they started the programme last week, residents were very cooperative with health officials.

“When visiting communities, we work with local leaders and community health workers. We start by educating residents on the pandemic, and other diseases and to practise good hygiene at their homes,” said Mabaso.

She said that a contact tracing programme to find people who may have been exposed to the virus was well conducted in the past weeks, adding that residents have been taught to use precautionary measures at funerals.

“At the moment we meet our daily target for conducting screening and testing of the virus,” she concluded.

C-Max prison ready to fight Coronavirus KHAYA MAGENU >>khaya.magenu@media24.com SINCE the outbreak of the coronavirus, Kokstad Correctional Service Management Area has intensified its programme to avert cross transmission of Covid-19 from officials to offenders.

Kokstad Management Area Correctional Services Communications Officer, Bonginkosi Mbotshwa told the Fever that they came up with many different strategies to fight the spread of the virus.

“As a department, we maintained that the workforce and of-

fenders are provided with available personal protective equipment,” said Mbotshwa.

The Kokstad Correctional Services Area is comprised of Matatiele, Kokstad Medium Prison, Port Shepstone, Umzimkhulu and Ebongweni C-Max Prison.

The Ebongweni C-Max prison in Kokstad is the country’s only super-maximum prison with particularly dangerous criminals.

At the moment, the Fever can confirm that Ebongweni has jailed criminals such Danish nationalist Peter Fredericks who was sentenced for child pornography, Leso-

tho nationalist Mafifi Mohlabane who was convicted for rape, murder and robbery, and Lonwabo Solontsi who was also sentenced for rape.

Western Cape notorious gang leader George Thomas and ‘sugar cane killer’ Thozamile Taki are also housed at Ebongweni according to Mbotshwa.

“We are busy monitoring the movement of offenders from Correctional Centers to courts and hospitals and work in teams has been limited.

We have arranged with courts that prisoners who have further

charges against them, have their cases remanded in absentia,” said Mbotshwa.

He called for the public not to visit the correctional center for offenders, as it has been suspended until further notice.

“We are pleading our communities to respect this call because it has been done in good faith to protect offenders from contamination.

All stakeholders are also advised to refrain from visiting correctional centres and at places of residence where they are allowed to visit, they are provided with personal protective equipment, sanitised and

scanned upon arival,” said Mbotshwa.

He further said that health professionals are playing a huge role in educating offenders and officials about the danger of this pandemic.

Mbotshwa said they maintain that offenders are searched and all contrabands removed after searching their housing units, and houses are also disinfected.

“Currently, we are satisfied with the progress in fighting the coronavirus, and sufficient information and education has been provided all times,” said Mbotshwa.

He appealed to government to assist small businesses to recover after the lockdown, while Nogwaza ap-

pealed to the Department of Small Business Development and other stakeholders to assist small businesses where they can and to offer moral support.

“For small businesses that are operating in remote areas, government must provide relief to avoid the collapse of businesses during lockdown,” said Nogwaza.

NPO extends helping hand to children SIPHELELE NKETO >>siphelele@media24.com FAMILIES who look after orphans and vulnerable children have appreciated the work done by Children of the Dawn, a non-profit-organisation looking after orphaned children in Matatiele.

Since last week, the NPO has handed out groceries to 120 families during the difficult time imposed by Covid-19 and the national lockdown.

The NPO project co-ordinator in Matatiele, Nandipha Magqashela, said that the groceries were donated by their head office as a relief programme for children during the lockdown.

“We delivered groceries to families looking after children in Nchodu, and Khauoe, and on Saturday we went to Masakala, Area C and Sijoka and deliv-

The NPO was established many years ago to take care of vulnerable children from across the country and in Matatiele, it started its operations in 2009, sponsoring 84 children. The number of children has since grown to 120 at Khauoe, Nchodu, Masakala, Sijoka, Area C and Lugada.

The NPO looks after children from

the age of six until they complete their formal education. Children are provided with health care, as well as psychological and emotional support by caregivers who sometimes visit the children at their homes to check on their well-being.

The NPO has a library in Matatiele where underage children are offered assistance in writing, reading, and numeracy, while teenagers are offered lessons in early pregnancy, crime prevention, and participate in sport after school.

Magqashela said that during the lockdown they put their services on hold, and are only focusing on handing out groceries so that the children do not go hungry.

Local women who are looking after the children thanked the NPO and said the groceries will make a huge difference.

Lockdown is actually not bad for me because I spend quality time with family, do things that I’ve been wanting to do for a long time but didn’t have the time to do.

I’m learning new things and hoping that we will pull through from this pandemic.

On top of that, I miss school, spending time with my friends and spending time outdoors, modelling and doing charity work.

KYLE HAMANN I am a personal trainer and I really miss the gym members and clients.

There is not a day that wouldn’t go by without them making me laugh or smile.

I also miss bumping into friends and family in town which often leads to random conversations and jokes.

But in this time, we should all stay positive and enjoy our time at home with our families and also take this time to reflect on our lives.

PUMLA NKAZIYA I miss fellowship and spending quality time with my loved ones, and going to work. I also miss my school kids, and making myself look good and going outside to various places with no fear, no restrictions and no transmitted diseases. I now feel like a bird caught in a snare.

MALL businesses will have to work hard to retain their clients to secure an income when the lockdown is over.

To avoid small businesses losing clients during the lockdown, the Fever spoke to a young businessman Zizipho Nogwaza who said that businesses must use online platforms to advertise and to keep their clients informed on how operations are being done during the lockdown. This is far more powerful than remaining silent.

Nogwaza encouraged young people in business to sell their services using online methods as a way of practicing social distancing and to keep in touch with their clients via online portals.

The lockdown does not mean the end of small businesses, he said. He suggested the use of social networks by businesses to keep in touch with clients.

“In my business, I have been operating smoothly ever since the president announced a lockdown, because I invested in online practices.

“I also encourage small businesses to have residual revenue accounts for times like these to avoid depending on the relief fund from financial agencies,” he said.

100% RESULTS OR MONEY BACK XHOSA WOMAN THANKS BABA GASELA FOR CHANGING HER LIFE

I am a resident in Bizana, Eastern Cape, my number is 073 614 2064 . I was once a well known and big business woman in East London and other areas of the Eastern Cape but I ended up losing all my money through some Doctors & Herbalists in Port Elizabeth until now all their working offices and contact numbers are closed and switched off. After failing to pay my bond and my loan accounts to the various banks and companies they closed my business and repossessed my properties. On Thursday 16 February I got the newspapers and read the miracles of BABA GASELA and the wonderful ways in which he changed the life of an Indian woman from Port Shepstone, who had serious financial problems all because of Fake Doctors & Herbalists.

I called the lady from Port Shepstone who promised and guaranteed me that BABA GASELA will bring back my successful life again, I never hesitated to contact him and he gave me different options that he uses to change the lives of people who have financial and business problems, but I chose the SHORT BOYS to put R3 000 000 in my bank account and in less than 4 hours I received a notification from the bank showing that R3 000 000 was in my account and paid BABA GASELA R700 000 without any questions from the bank, it was exactly the way I was promised.

On the 19th February I ordered the MAGIC WALLET which I received on the 20th February and started using it the same day and it brings me R100 000 everyday and he instructed me to pay him R300 000 every week from the R700 000 that I get each and every week. I can honestly say I am now a happy woman after getting most of my business and properties back but unfortunately some was already sold through auctions but because of his MAGIC WALLET that I use every day I will open a new business and buy new properties. I referred my cousin with whom I was staying with whilst I had lost everything to BABA GASELA and he chose RATS to bring him R2 500 000 in his house and the following day he paid R500 000 without any problems to him and his family. Now he is waiting to play the LOTTO after BABA GASELA gave him his lucky numbers and the date he is to play them in order for him to win big money and change his life after so many years of disappointments using other Doctors & Herbalists and he agreed to pay him 20% of the winnings. As a well known business woman in East London and other areas of Eastern Cape I publish this testimony to inform everybody how I lost everything I had and also to inform you that BABA GASELA is the one who helped me to get back my wealth and be rich again.

RICH INDIAN WOMEN TESTIFIES HER SECRET OF SUCCESS!!

I am a 34 year old woman living in Port Shepstone, my number is 079 041 4465. It is true that my success is not a gift but rather a decision I made. It took me a while to trust anybody since I was destroyed by the previous doctors, sangomas and herbalists that I used in the past who did nothing for me but just took my money and offered me to sell my late parent’s house for their own gain and even cost me my business until today I cannot get hold of them as their offices and their phones are either engaged or not answered. Not knowing what else to do I called a business friend of mine for help and she was surprised to hear what had happened to me and she shared her secret of success which was a call to BABA GASELA who changed her life and she became rich through the SHORT BOYS that put R1 500 000 in her account each and every month and she would pay back R400 000 of that money to BABA GASELA. It was like a dream come true and after showing me her bank statements, I called BABA GASELA right away to also help me with the SHORT BOYS to put R1 500 000 in my account every month. After giving him my account details I only waited 6hrs and the 1st R1 500 000 was in my account and I paid him R400 000 as agreed. I then ordered the LUCKY WALLET that brings R100 000 every day and from that I pay him R300 000 every week. People if you have financial problems and suffered disappointments with previous doctors, sangomas and Herbalists, then don’t lose hope. Miracles can still happen. I witnessed it and THANKS TO BABA GASELA for changing my life. Even my husband and children came back after being separated for 4 years. My husband also used BABA GASELA as he was a gambler but has never won anything and BABA GASELA changed that by giving him the lucky numbers and he won the lotto and started his own construction company with his winnings. Thank you BABA GASELA for changing our lives and making it possible. You can also change your life.

ITS TIME TO MAKE THE RIGHT DECISION AND THE RIGHT CHOICE TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE. CALL BABA GASELA NOW ON 064 685 8648.

FREEDOM DAY during lockdown: regulations amended FEVER REPORTER

N 1994, April 27 marked the date where a shift in the waters of our history took place. It was the first non-racial democratic elections held in South Africa, which was previously governed under apartheid rule.

This day is now celebrated annually as Freedom Day. According to SA History, this election and subsequent announcement of Nelson Mandela as president is significant because it marks the end of over three hundred years of colonialism, segregation and white minority rule.

Twenty-six years later in the 2020, many will be observing this day from their own homes as the national lockdown enters week five.

The regulations of the lockdown’s phase two (from Friday April, 17) have been altered, and will continue to be altered as time goes on to gradually ease out of lockdown.

Some of the lockdown regulations that were amended as per the Department of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs: • Transport: Transportation of import and export goods permitted, except alcohol • Hardware products: Hardware products and vehicle components of supporting essential service goods and delivery may be sold, but a register of persons buying must be maintained.

• Funerals: Funerals are allowed a maximum of 50 people. Burials or cremations within 24 hours require a permit from police with a sworn affidavit and supporting letter from cultural or. religious leader.

• Children: Movement of children between

co-parents prohibited unless in possession of court order, registered parenting plan and certified birth certificate. Sale of clothing, essential goods for care of toddlers up to 36months permitted.

• Evictions: No person may be evicted from their place of residence during the duration of the lockdown.

• Mines and Energy: Mining operations at 50%, 100% for collieries supplying energy grid for Eskom, 100% for fuel refineries. Implementation rigorous testing/screening/ quarantine programmes.

• Retailers and shops: Grocery stores, wholesale markets, spaza/tuck shops, informal fruit/vegetable sellers, langanas providing essential goods may trade with written permission from their municipal authorities.

The start of the 2019 FNB Durban 10K CITYSURFRUN. The new event date will be announced as soon as possible.

Foundation offers online cricket training for upcoming coaches THE far-reaching implications of Covid-19 are still emerging, but it’s clear that, in addition to the health concerns, this pandemic will have a long-lasting financial impact– particularly on the most vulnerable members of society.

But in the midst of this crisis, community-minded organisations are coming together and finding innovative platforms that offer life-altering solutions for individuals.

CoachED, the newly-launched online cricket coaching accreditation programme, is one such example.

To ensure locally-based coaches benefit from this wealth of cricketing content, the Gary Kirsten Foundation (GKF) has announced it will invest in 300 CoachED licences for up-andcoming coaches across the country.

Developed by a team of internationally-experienced coaches, CoachED provides access to quality cricketing resources, placing newly-accredited coaches at the forefront of the modern game.

Madoda Mahlutshana, trustee of the GKF and a former school principal, described CoachED as an excellent platform for ‘the expansion of cricket across the length and breadth of South Africa’.

Commenting on the sponsorship of these 300 CoachED licences, Mahlutshana said: “This is an amazing opportunity that gives a sense of hope and extends a much-needed lifeline particularly during this time of anxiety and uncertainty amid the coronavirus pandemic.”

“We’re very excited about the use of this platform which creates virtual accessibility without any physical contact necessary.

This is the sort of innovation in line with GKF objectives which upskills youngsters through cricket on a massive scale.

This platform will reach cultures and communities in the far corners of the country through a highly cost-effective mechanism without compromising on quality.

This truly is a game changer, not only for South African cricket, but South Africa’s most disadvantaged communities as well.”

Gary Kirsten (middle) is looking forward to using this opportunity to empower cricket coaches from disadvantaged backgrounds through the CoachED online education platform. This will enhance cricketing skills at a community level while providing township coaches with a solid income stream during this particularly challenging economic period. from disadvantaged communities of South Africa.

Empowered with the CoachED accreditation, the coaches are likely to find a solid income stream while also elevating the level of cricket and enhancing skills in their relevant communities.

Tim Human, Business Development Manager for the GKF, echoed Mahlutshana’s sentiments saying that the CoachED platform would offer the foundation’s coaches access to world-class coaching content.

“The fact that CoachEd has made 300 licenses available to townships and previously disadvantaged coaches will apply to both our work in Khayelitsha, as well as coaches in similar positions in townships across the

country.

The more skills and knowledge they have at their disposal, the better the chances of developing talent from the township to go onto bigger things in the cricketing world.

“Digital solutions like this are a great way to level the playing field and make sure that talented individuals from disadvantaged communities get the same opportunities as their more privileged counterparts in the traditional school and club systems,” he continued.

Gary Kirsten, whose extensive coaching career includes that of two national sides and several T20 franchises, said the launch of the innovative CoachED platform is going to empower township coaches in a way that

was never before thought possible.

“Far too often, people are unable to benefit from such cricket skills’ development, for a variety of reasons.

It’s great to have an online version that allows coaches to develop their abilities using cutting-edge techniques and the latest available information to keep ahead of the game.”

CoachED PLATFORM OPTIONS: 1. The comprehensive library provides users with up-to-date, engaging and interactive content on all of the 11 modules covered.

This includes information and drills on batting, season management, player management, leadership and captaincy, among others.

Users will receive digital knowledge

badges for all modules completed that can be shared on social media, as well as access to other value-added services.

2. The accreditation section is for coaches wanting specific accreditation through the CoachED platform.

Testing is based on the extensive library content, with questions graded in increasing levels of difficulty.

Upon successful completion, accredited coaches will be posted on the CoachED directory as qualification verification, as well as receiving members’ benefits - including access to the private CoachED resource group, discounts on additional content, practical workshops, e-commerce discounts and cricket coach recruitment opportunities.

3. The Elite Accreditation CoachED package is for coaches who wish to take their learning to the next level.

This features live, interactive, webbased sessions with Gary Kirsten. Enrollees, under the direct mentorship of Gary Kirsten, will form part of an Elite CoachED Resource Group with more advanced questions requiring submissions of video practicals and written tests.

The Elite Accreditation CoachED package will only be available to a limited number of coaches during the three-month enrollment period.

The licensing for the 300 coaches will include full access to the CoachED libraries and an opportunity to become accredited coaches.

In addition to the online accessibility, the programme consists of structured, learner-driven courses which include cricket coaching skills, drills and tools tailored to individual requirements.

The content is up-to-date and adapted to all modern forms of the game.

After successful completion of the CoachED test requirements, participants will not only receive their digital certificate, but also feature on the CoachED database.

This will accredit them as qualified cricket coaches - a qualification that complements any existing cricket coach certifications, knowledge and experience.
