Healthcare workers under strain JYOTHI LALDAS

ITH the iLembe District being named a Covid-19 hotspot in KZN, local healthcare facilities are taking great strain.

Like most of the country, a sharp increase in Covid-19 cases has placed major strain on hospitals in the area.

Speaking to the Weekly, Dr Douglas Ross, the hospital manager for KwaDukuza Private Hospital said the second wave has placed them under immense pressure.

“The major challenge we have all faced is too many Covid-19 or suspect-

ed Covid-19 patients (what we call PUIs) requiring admission into too few Covid19 beds. “All of us have responded by increasing our inpatient Covid bed [count] - both general Covid beds and high care or ICU beds - where spatially and operationally possible.”

He said: “Obviously the bigger a hospital is the more ability a hospital has to flex in such situations. KPH has reconfigured its operations to significantly reduce the size of its non-Covid inpatient zones and increase the number of inpatient beds allocated to Covid and PUI patients.”

Speaking about the impact the sec-

ond wave has had on the hospital staff, he said: “Our staff are managing well under very challenging circumstances.

Covid-19 has completely changed our inpatient profile with far larger numbers of patients than were the norm preCovid requiring oxygen and needing higher levels of care.

“Staff too have to deal with family members, who have Covid, and some of them have developed Covid themselves. Inevitably under such circumstances staff cannot come to work if they are looking after ill relatives at home or themselves ill.”

Regarding the availability of bed,

Ross said the availability of Covid beds is a challenge throughout the local private hospitals and KPH is no exception.

“Our bed status varies hour-to-hour and day-to-day, but our Covid inpatient bed availability is very constrained.

“The hospital is full from time-totime, but Covid beds also become available too on a daily basis in the normal course of events. It seems likely that the Covid beds at KPH will be nearly fully occupied, if not entirely full, for the next few weeks.”

When asked what happens if there is no room for a patient and if patients are being turned away, Ross said: “If there

are no beds in our emergency department and our Covid inpatient beds are full then we do not have anywhere to house patients, and a divert is called.”

He said the hospital currently has a significant number of Covid patients.

“All the members of the healthcare team, but especially our doctors and nurses, are to be commended for going the extra mile for their patients under very difficult circumstances,” he concluded.

The General Justice Gizenga Mpanza Regional Hospital (Stanger Hospital) had not responded to questions at the time of going to press.

In Loving Memory of our late Dad Govindasamy Govender (Gavin) DOB: 19 Dec 1958 DOD: 9th Jan 2021

As the lethal Corona virus claims more victims in its second wave, we find that the numbers have turned into names of our own. In one of the latest claims, we said goodbye to Mr. Govindasamy Govender (Gavin).

Born and raised in Glendale on the North Coast of KZN, Gavin was well known to many for his charismatic and inspirational personality. He started his career in Salt Rock hotel as an accountant, where he met his wife Krishnie. In 1984 he joined Old Mutual as a Financial Advisor, where his achievements were endless. Once such highlight was the International, Quality Award that he won 3 times. This was the highest level of recognition granted to an Old Mutual Advisor since 1987.

As the District Manager in the early 2000’s, he achieved the number 1 spot for 3 years in succession by topping the Mutual and Federal sales for the Region.

Gavin continued his career with Old Mutual for 25 years, before embarking on his own Financial practice. He further fulfilled his passion for farming and contributed to the sugar cane industry as well as fresh produce.

On the 9th of January, Gavin succumbed to COVID related illnesses after a brave lengthy battle. He was laid to rest in a touching funeral ceremony on Sunday the 10th of January.

He will be sadly missed by his wife Krishnie, daughter Nancy and Son in-law Desigan. He also leaves behind his caring mum, brothers Allan, Ram and Vincent, sisters Samba and Mala. Loving friend Pam, as well as other friends and family close to his heart. The Govender family would like to sincerely thank everyone for the love and support during this time.

For Gavin always said; “To the well-organized mind, death is but the next great adventure”

January 13, 2021 A patient wearing an oxygen mask is treated in a makeshift emergency unit at Steve Biko Academic Hospital in Pretoria this week. A sharply rising number of Covid-19 patients across South Africa has prompted President Cyril Ramaphosa to extend the Level 3 lockdown regulations.

HE alcohol sales ban will be extended along with other restrictions as part of adjusted lockdown Level 3, President Cyril Ramaphosa announced in an address to the nation on Monday night.

Ramaphosa had reintroduced the ban on retail sales of alcohol and on-site alcohol consumption two weeks ago when the country moved from lockdown Level 1 to adjusted lockdown Level 3.

These restrictions targeted social interactions — apart from banning alcohol sales they also lengthened the curfew which forced restaurants to close earlier.

Subsequently, the country’s biggest beer brewer, AB InBev-owned SA Breweries (SAB) lodged an urgent application at the Western Cape High Court challenging the constitutionality of the ban.

Industry players have also warned the ban would just fuel illicit liquor trade, which would come at the expense of taxes.

In his address, Ramaphosa lamented the rising Covid-19 cases, which are now beyond the 1,2 million mark.

Ramaphosa explained the ban on alcohol sales would continue because there has been a reduction in trauma cases at hospitals, particularly over the New Year period.

Ramaphosa referred to a picture from Chris Hani Baragwanath hospital’s trauma ward which has been circulated on social media, showing an empty ward, a first since it was established.

“This proves that alcohol does result

in behaviour that causes trauma. It is vital that we continue to protect health services at a crucial time.”

LAND PORT CLOSURES Apart from extending adjusted lockdown Level 3, Cabinet has also decided to close 20 land ports of entry until February 15. Among these include the six busiest border posts — Beitbridge, Lebombo, Maseru bridge, Oshoek, Ficksburg and Kopfontein.

This is to reduce congestion and the high risk of transmission that comes with the movement of people. However, people will be allowed to move under limited circumstances — such as supporting the transfer of fuel, cargo and goods and emergency medical attention.

The decision to shut South Africa’s 20 land border posts follows weeks of congestion. Bottlenecks at the Beitbridge border with Zimbabwe and Lebombo post with Mozambique have been described as “super-spreader” events.

Thousands of travellers have descended on South Africa’s borders over the festive period, either returning to work or escaping harsher lockdown restrictions, especially in Zimbabwe.

want the vaccines to arrive yesterday. As we work to secure the supply of sufficient doses in the midst of huge global demand, we are doing and will continue to do everything that’s possible to ensure that the process is both transparent, and it’s handled most effectively and efficiently, and that information is made available to South Africans,” he said.

Ramaphosa stressed the importance of vaccines — and said his government had always recognised that importance.

“We’ve always said that an effective vaccine will in the end be a game-changer against our fight to Covid-19,” he said.

“Vaccines offer to the peoples of the world a means to control the coronavirus pandemic.”

But when, exactly, South Africa would have that power, he could not say.

A task team for the African Union was doing “tremendous work”, he said, while South Africa’s direct engagement with vaccine suppliers — “for the past six months” — was seeing “daily and constant negotiations”.

More details would be announced when deals were concluded, he said, referring only to 20 million doses of vaccine, with the bulk hoped for during early 2021.

VACCINE ROLLOUT On the much-anticipated vaccine rollout in the country, Ramaphosa, without giving a timeframe said, “South Africa’s vaccine strategy is well underway.”

“Understandably we all want to know when the vaccines will be arriving.

Everybody asks that question, and they

by uMhlathuze Municipality in the Richards Bay area has been lifted after locals questioned the validity of the ban, supposedly under level three lockdown regulations.

The bay along with other popular fishing spots in the area draw anglers from all over the north coast including KwaDukuza on a regular basis.

Anglers and charters were prohibited from fishing after President Cyril Ramaphosa instituted the level three lockdown on December 29.

The regulations rendered all beaches, dams, lakes and rivers inclusive of all recreational facilities at these places closed to the public in all the areas declared as hotspots.

City spokesperson Mdu Ncalane said in a statement that the city has been acting on the instruction to close all its beaches since it is under the King Cetshwayo District Municipality and is one of the Covid-19 hotspots in KZN. “However, due to a number of community members in the fishing sector holding fishing permits, including those who are using boats for fishing and other recreational activities, making numerous enquiries on being disallowed access to the city’s main beach, fishing will be permitted,” he said.

The city is now seeking clarity on the national regulations issued by the Department of Co-operative Governance and Traditional Affairs on the closure of beaches.

seeks further official clarity on the matter with all relevant departments concerned, beaches will be opened for fishing purposes only “... with no time restrictions to all fishermen with valid fishing permits and exemptions and upon satisfaction that they adhere to all health and safety protocols inclusive of the number of fishermen on the boat as stipulated on the permits and exemptions. Fishermen must also be considerate of the curfew period.”

He said the city has been in communication with the provincial and national departments of Cogta, Economic Development, Tourism and Environmental Affairs and Forestry and Fisheries to further clarify the regulations.

“The different regulations are subject to different interpretations in terms of enforcement,” he said.

Ncalane said the city fully supports all economic activities and would not prejudice licensed and approved fishermen who are embarking on their economic activity rights without any valid reason.

“Fishermen are urged to produce valid permits at the entrance points of all beaches under our jurisdiction.

“Covid-19 health and safety protocol will still be applicable to anglers upon presenting themselves at all beaches.

“Alcohol is not allowed and everyone will be subject to searches, registration for contact tracing purposes, temperature checks and face masks covering the mouth and the nose are still applicable to fishermen,” he said.

The dumping at Palmhaven Rise.

Illegal dumping still a problem JYOTHI LALDAS

D

ESPITE appeals in the local media by residents and the KwaDukuza Municipality, illegal dumpers have not stopped dumping their trash all over the town.

Previously residents blamed the municipality for the dumping due to the method they used to distribute bin bags, however, KDM has since changed their method making the process more accessible.

Despite this change illegal dumping continues to be a problem and law-abiding residents are fed up.

Local community activist Rishi Pooran said he has been sending complaints to KDM, however, he believes they do not have staff who have the capacity to resolve the problem.

Xolani Sfiso Mpungose said dumpers who are known to the community and own a shop in Palmhaven Rise in Glenhills have been dumping their garbage in a no dumping zone and the garbage is overflowing onto his driveway.

He appealed to the relevant authorities to visit the area and deal with the dumpers.

Dumpers have also been seen in a number of areas in Highridge, Stanger Manor, Doesburg and continue to dump on verges, empty grounds and along the side of roads.

KwaDukuza spokesperson, Sipho Mkhize said communities have a critical role to play in putting an end to illegal dumping.

“Communities can assist by identifying those responsible for illegal dumping in their neighbourhoods and when peo-

ISUPPORT Creative Business, in collaboration with the Luthuli Museum and supported by Concerts SA present Nipho Hurd in a virtual concert that is available to watch from Tuesday, January 19.

Tickets are R30 and available on https://nationalartsfestival.co.za/ show/nipho-hurd-in-concertfeat-poetry-by-philani-kunene/ where the concert will also be available to view.

Born Nklakanipho Lungelo Khanyile in Emsinga, to a traditional Sangoma household, Nipho Hurd, the Fresh Princess of Dubane, known for bringing soul to new heights is a funk, soul, jazz, afro-soul, house and blues singer and songwriter.

Hurd participates in the kind of RnB that’s laced with funk and future soul.

She’s influenced by her traditional roots and her secular upbringing, giving her a one-of-akind sound. Every contradiction Nipho has lived throughout her life is apparent in every piece she performs.

She is truly South African in the sense that she could never be just one thing - she is a culmination of culture and experience, not to be painted with a single brush.

Her music embodies that spirit: humble and arrogant, vivacious

but weary, hurt and healing, dying but most definitely still alive.

The visions depicted and stories told are that of her own life within the context of a contradictory country. She tackles internal war intensity, but she won’t shy away from seemingly mundane stories about love or tea. Her individuality is oddly relatable and indeed inspiring.

“I am doing a set with songs from my recently released EP titled The Gehl. The EP features seven songs. A lot of these songs I wrote so that people understand who I am,” says Hurd.

Hurd’s band is featuring Josh Swanson on guitar and Sbu Zondi on drums.

The concert will also include a performance by the poet Philani Kunene from Uhuru Poetry In Motion Club at the Luthuli Museum with his poem Umhlaba – The Land.

This concert is initiated as part of a partnership between the Luthuli Museum and Concerts SA, produced by iSupport Creative Business.

ple are caught in the act locals need to reprimand and report the culprits.

“One of the easiest things to do is to take a picture of the perpetrators as well as the registration of the vehicle used to commit illegal dumping, thirdly private landowners have a responsibility to forbid any illegal dumping that occurs on their respective properties.”

He said the tactic of naming and shaming the perpetrators in local media will also be employed.

“There has been evidence that some of the formal businesses are involved in illegal dumping. In the instances where illegal dumping is reported to the municipality, we will act on it, we will track down the person responsible and instruct the person to remove the dirt and to make the area clean and further issue fines.”

Businesses hard hit once again JYOTHI LALDAS

T

HE second wave of Covid-19 and subsequent move to lockdown adjusted level three has hit local businesses hard in KwaDukuza.

Already struggling local enterprises have said that apart from the severe economic impact, staff morale is down and fear looms in their stores and offices.

Hardest hit local industries include small supermarkets and shops, construction, health and beauty, events and catering, tourism and liquor outlets.

Speaking to the Weekly, owner of Raymen’s Supermarket in Stanger Manor, Dino Moodley said the business has seen a steep decline in turnover.

“Business has definitely been affected badly.

We usually see around 100 to 200 customers a day and that is not the case right now especially with the onset of the second wave.”

He said, another concerning factor is the fear among staff and low morale.

“This second wave is worse because of the number of infection and people dying locally. My staff members are fearful and as a result the experience given to the customer is compromised because staff are scared to handle their cash and have to constantly sanitise. All of these factors inevitably boiled down to a huge dip in the bottom line.”

For the tourism industry, the beach ban has taken the greatest toll on accommodation venues.

Tourists predominantly visit the north coast

for its beaches and since iLembe falls into the hotspot category, all the beaches have been closed.

Accommodation owners whose units had been fully booked for December and into January all faced mass cancellations after the president’s lockdown announcement on December 28.

Most holidaymakers chose to return home early due to the beach ban and other cancelled their January bookings.

According to Enterprise iLembe’s Cheryl Peters initially cancellations were at around 10% when the beaches were closed on the public holidays only.

However, after the total closure it increased rapidly.

Peters added that on average occupancy between September and November 2020 was greater than in 2019.

It went from around 53% to 70%, she said.

Melissa Govender, who owns a beauty parlour offering nails, facials, massages, etc, said her business was improving until the second wave.

“My clients mostly had returned under the strictest Covid-19 safety protocols and I stopped offering certain services that required a client to be mask free.

“However, since the surfacing of this second wave business is down in the dumps again like it was in March. My only saving grace is that I work from home so my costs are relatively low, but I am sitting with stock of certain things that can go bad. Add to that the loss of income and I am just making ends meet.”

somebody in the family had tested positive.

“We need to do more in our spaces to prevent the spread of the coronavirus otherwise the impact of the virus will hurt our efforts of flattening the curve.”

Mweli said all the markers, who had withdrawn, will be replaced.

KZN education department spokesperson, Muzi Mahlambi, said they would continue to work with teachers and unions to ensure there was strict adherence to Covid-19 safety protocols at marking centres in the province. “We do mass screening regularly and where we pick up symptoms we refer people to health practitioners,” he added. “Indications are that some markers go to the centres knowing that they are positive. We urge them not to do so as it is dangerous to the health of their colleagues and themselves.”

Unions, meanwhile, are concerned about the impact a delay in marking could have on students wanting to go to university. A spokesperson for the South African Parastatal and Tertiary Institutions Union (Saptu) said: “If the marking centres turn out to be hotspots for the exposure it will have an effect on processing matric results. “This will have a roll-on effect on the admissions of first-year students at tertiary institutions and the financial viability of universities and colleges.”

UNIONS are calling for government to do more to protect teachers marking matric exam papers amid concerns that marking could be delayed.

This follows the news that a teacher died in Estcourt, after contracting Covid-19, and several others tested positive at the weekend.

Stefan Viljoen, the labour relations officer for the Public Servants Association (PSA), said they were concerned about the impact of teachers testing positive for Covid-19 could have on the marking process.

“If every marker, who tests positive, and every person who has been in contact with them tests positive or has to isolate, it will impact on the process and on the release of the matric results,” he added.

The PSA told The Witness they were aware of at least eight markers, who had tested positive for Covid-19 in KZN. This is four more than the numbers confirmed by the Department of Basic Education on Monday.

They said that, of the 8 730 people involved in marking matric papers, 101 had withdrawn and four had tested positive in the province.

Mathanzima Mweli, the director-general for the department, expressed his concern about the news of the Covid-19 outbreak at the Estcourt marking centre.

MF leader spreads happiness MINORITY Front (MF) leader Shameen ThakurRajbansi distributed hampers and PPE packs to various community organisations, religious organisations, disadvantaged families and individuals recently.

The MF has been on the forefront of assisting the community on various matters arising due to the Covid-19 pandemic throughout 2020.

The MF annually distributes food hampers for Easter, Diwali and Christmas, Rajbansi said.

“Many vulnerable families and individuals were left with no food or income due to job losses and lockdown restrictions caused by the Covid19 pandemic.

Rajbansi urged the community and all South African citizens to adhere to all Covid-19 protocols and regulations now that the second wave is upon us.

“This virus is deadly and is spreading faster than ever before. We need to take extra precautions to ensure the safety of our loved ones, especially the elderly.

We must treat everyone that we come into contact with as if they are Covid-19 positive and hence we must ensure social distancing, wearing a mask, hand washing and sanitising.

Our health is paramount to see us through the new year.” – Supplied.

ADVERTORIAL

Torga Optical tells you everything you need to know about your vision over 40 IN a world that is obsessed with eternal youth, efficiency and massive workloads, the inevitable deterioration of one’s eye sight at a certain age - 40 - is a daunting prospect for many.

The good news is that with huge strides in technology comes fantastic advances in lenses and eyewear. In addition to having a plethora of fashion frames from which to choose, lens technology has progressed to a point where the tell-tale signs of ageing eyes have thankfully become an almost-distant memory.

The bad news is that no one escapes ageing – everyone’s eyes deteriorate with age. It’s inevitable. It will happen to you.

So, if you are having difficulty focussing on that really tiny text on your cell phone, or if your arms just don’t seem long enough when you’re studying that sushi menu, then it’s probably time for a visit to your Torga optometrist.

What happens to your eyes as you get older?

As the eye ages (i.e. as one nears the age of 40), the muscles that enable the ocular lens to work become weaker.

The result is that the focusing ability for near vision becomes more difficult and eventually not possible.

This condition is called presbyopia. The youthful flexibility of the lens and the respective muscles allow the eye to change focus from objects that are far away to objects that are close.

Solution: Spectacles, including single vision reading glasses, bifocals and multifocal lenses address presbyopia very effectively.

Multifocal (also known as progressive and varifocal) lenses give you a more youthful appearance by eliminating the visible lines found in bifocal lenses and allow you to focus clearly at varying distances.

Bifocal and single vision lenses don’t give you the clear vision at all distances - reading glasses have one focal point and bifocals allow for clear distance and near vision but they aren’t great for intermediate distances, such as computer work.

What is a multifocal lens?

Multifocal lenses transition from your distance pre-

All Torga Optical multifocal lenses are manufactured using highly sophisticated digital software and German precision lens technology.

We advise that you have a in depth conversation with your optometrist about your lifestyle in addition to your visual needs (once you’ve had a full eye test).

Explain to her when your eyes are at their most strained. Go into detail about the kind of work that you do, which digital devices you use and how often.

Your hobbies and how you spend your spare time are also important to consider when finding a solution to your visual needs. It’s this kind of information together with the actual eye examination that contributes to you finding the best optical correction for your visual comfort.

Our multifocal promotion includes two pairs of multifocals (one clear and one polarised pair) or you can simply share with a friend or family.

U15 soccer games go well

Injured players to return to Man Utd MANCHESTER United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer hopes to have midfielder Paul Pogba and defenders Victor Lindelof and Luke Shaw back from injury for their Premier League game against Liverpool on Sunday.

The trio missed the FA Cup third-round win over Watford at the weekend and are doubtful for today’s league game at Burnley. Solskjaer’s side have 33 points from 16 games and will move above leaders Liverpool if they avoid defeat at Turf Moor.

Asked in a news conference if the three players can be ready for Burnley and Liverpool, Solskjaer said: “I hope so, I hope all of them for Liverpool, definitely.

“I’m not sure if they’ll make the Burnley one.”

United have won eight and drawn two of their last 10 matches to close in on champions Liverpool but Solskjaer said it was far too early to talk about a title challenge. “We’re not even halfway through the season yet,” Solskjaer said. “Every game in the Premier League is a challenge, is a test. Every game gives you a different test.

“Watford gave us a test. Burnley is one test, Liverpool is another, then you go to Fulham (Jan. 20), which is a different test again.

“No one will remember how the league table looked like on Jan. 12 2021.”

Proteas women team set to return to action THE Proteas Women’s 10-month wait for action will end next Wednesday, January 20, when they face Pakistan in the first One Day International at Hollywoodbets Kingsmead in Durban.

The Momentum-backed home side will be flying the flag in a “post-Covid-19 set-up” as they take on a Pakistani side that will also be competing for the first time since the ICC T20 Women’s Cricket World Cup in three ODIs and three Twenty20 internationals.

After the nail-biting loss in the last four of the T20 World Cup in March last year will see Hilton Moreeng’s side relishing the prospect of returning to competitive cricket and continuing on that impressive vein of form against a side that they have had relatively good success against.

In their sights is a Pakistan side that is also keen to replicate the exploits of two years ago when they drew the ODI’s and narrowly lost the Twenty20 series on South African soil.

Moreeng has emphasised the importance of returning to competitive cricket and also treating

this inbound series as an opportunity to ease the Proteas ladies back into the intensity of the international cricket, and also commending the work done by his medical staff.

“Firstly, for us it has been a year since the team has had a chance to get ready for competitive cricket post our camps and we are happy that everyone in the group is here and we can start discussing our preparations for Pakistan, said Moreeng in a statement.

“The fitness test has gone well with the players and we are impressed with the fitness levels of our squad considering the lengthy break. We want to give a big thanks to the entire medical staff that has worked around the clock to ensure our players are ready and acclimatizing well into the bubble (bio secure environment). The importance of this series is to ensure that we find our feet very quickly back into the demands of international cricket and our visitors offer us that opportunity.

“Thus far the squad is good spirits, happy to be back given the opportunity to do what they love

and we as the technical team have to make sure that the players are ready when the matches start.”

The Proteas mentor said that Pakistan are the perfect side to tune up against especially with the team having their sights firmly on next year’s Women Cricket showpiece in New Zealand.

“Pakistan Women are a competitive unit,especially in the T20 format and are the perfect side to give us a measurement of where we are especially with us having our eyes on next year’s world cup.”- said Moreeng.

On the medical front CSA are pleased to report that the entire team has returned negative results from the Covid-19 tests that were conducted ahead of the first training session. This was the second test scheduled testing ahead of the first session. The final test leading up to the first ODI is scheduled for next Monday, January 18.

Team captain Dane van Niekerk and allrounder Chloe Tryon will miss the Pakistan series due to injuries they sustained late last year.
