Locust Outbreaks In South Africa Under Control For Now The worst of South Africa’s locust catastrophic if the locusts went season seems to be over thanks into our irrigation areas.

Extensive damage to the veld to cooler climatic conditions. was reported, but the good rainy According to various reports, only season has sped up veld Murraysburg in the Western Cape recovery.” and areas surrounding Gqeberha Dr Gerhard Verdoorn, operations and Sutterheim in the Eastern and stewardship manager at Cape are still fighting small, CropLife South Africa, said the scattered swarms. locusts managed to enter the Sundays River Valley, a major Nicol Jansen, president of Agri Northern Cape, said this season’s citrus-producing region, but did locust outbreak had proven to be not cause much damage to even more devastating than that orchards, probably because it of the previous season, making it was early in the season and “[the locusts] don’t like citrus trees”. the worst in 25 years.

“It was the first time ever that we saw swarms measuring up to 4 000ha [in diameter], which also made it the first time ever that we needed to make use of aerial control [measures] to get the swarms under control. While highly efficient, this method of control is extremely expensive,” Jansen said.

Despite the vast size of the swarms, losses were generally low thanks to ground and aerial teams being able to keep the swarms away from irrigation areas, he added.

“The losses would have been

Jannie Strydom, CEO of Agri Western Cape, said natural veld was primarily damaged in the Western Cape, with farmers also suffering limited damage to lucerne and vegetable seed plantings.

“There are roughly 1,7 million hectares of veld in the Central Karoo, with half of [the area] being affected by the locusts to some extent. The Western Cape Department of Agriculture is in the process of estimating the damage,” Strydom said.

There were, however, concerns about the upcoming season.

Despite this season’s locust outbreaks being the worst in 25 years, reports across the country indicate that the infestations have come to an end.

Verdoorn said the large swarms would have laid many eggs, with the wet conditions in the Karoo being conducive to the hatching of these eggs once temperatures rose above 16˚C in September.

He added, however, that he did not expect outbreaks to be as large as those seen this year, as swarms usually tapered off from the third and fourth season in an outbreak cycle. The current cycle started in the Karoo in 2019, and developed into a serious outbreak in 2020 when rainfall increased, following a long period of drought.

“Government was not ready for this massive attack, so management started off late, which aggravated the problem, as it becomes more difficult to control locusts once they have started swarming and laying eggs.

“To prevent the same mistake, government should get its finances in order now, buy the necessary pesticides, and get management teams ready to ensure quick response next season,” Jansen concluded. Farmers Weekly

New Ambulances For Northern Cape, But Old Problems Remain a service hence, it becomes critical that our operational status remains high and sufficient at all times,” the report says.

“Unfortunately, due to the Northern Cape’s vast geographical area, it makes the availability of EMS more challenging. The conditions of roads in the province contribute to the rapid deterioration of the departmental fleet and delays in maintenance and repairs have a negative impact on the response times as the majority of the available fleet is often out of service,” the report states.

It was around 10:00 on 11 March 2022, when Masego Kolane (23) from Barkley West, about 35km outside Kimberly, says she called an ambulance. She was in labour. Kolane was 39 weeks pregnant and after several calls, she says no ambulance came.

“My sister eventually called the police station, asking them to help take me to the hospital,” Kolane tells Spotlight. “But unfortunately, the police [said they] did not have authority to transport me, so they had to drive to the Barkley West Hospital to fetch the ambulance themselves,” says Kolane.

Four hours later, the ambulance arrived at the Kolane residence, she says.

“When we arrived at the Prof ZK Mathews Hospital in Barkley West, nothing could be done because my blood pressure was too high and I had to be rushed to the Robert Mangaliso Sobukwe Hospital in Kimberly where the child was born. I really don’t know how I managed to come out of that terrible situation alive. I don’t know what would have happened to me and my child if the police had not come to my rescue,” Kolane says.

said during an interview with Spotlight it is often the community which suffers most when it comes to emergency medical services in the province. “The reason we are always late for our patients is [that] there [are] not enough vehicles and staff members and often the ambulances don’t have working equipment. As a result, we use our own personal equipment that we have invested in for ourselves as emergency services personnel,” he says.

“We are understaffed, we are strained, and we do not have the proper equipment to help the patients when in the ambulance, and there [are] not enough vehicles. Ideally, there should be a minimum of ten ambulances in Kimberly alone,” he says.

Beefing up the numbers: a timeline In 2019, Northern Cape Premier Zamani Saul announced that instead of spending money on vehicles for the executive, the provincial government made funds available to procure 27 new EMS vehicles. In 2014, the provincial government under former Premier, Sylvia Lucas, also procured 110 emergency vehicles for the health department.

She says she will never advise anyone to rely on ambulances in Yet, despite the procurement of the province because “that is more EMS vehicles over the taking a risk with one’s life”. years, the department continues to face the same challenges.

Community suffering In its 2nd Quarterly Performance Some Emergency Medical report for 2021/2022 tabled in the Services personnel members provincial legislature, the blame ambulance shortages, department raised concern over staff shortages, and inadequate service delivery and patient occupational health and safety outcomes. The department cites measures. They say they can limited resources, including only work with what is available. ambulances and staffing as reasons, as well as a significant Prince Naidoo* who has been an increase in demand for EMS emergency medical services services. “EMS is largely worker for more than ten years dependent on vehicles to provide

Beefing up ambulance capacity By the second quarter of the 2021/2022 financial year, there were 75 ambulances per day operational in the province while 73 were non-operational; 28 patient transport vehicles were operational and 28 nonoperational; and 18 rescue vehicles were operational and 8 non-operational.

delivery.”

New Fleet, same problems Naidoo says the new vehicles are useless if EMS remains understaffed and personnel overworked. “The new vehicles came with no new equipment,” he says. “They took the equipment, which [is] not in working condition from the old cars and placed them in the new vehicles, which does not make sense to us as EMS workers.

“We are forced to work in these unacceptable conditions and it is bad for the community because they are affected badly. So, basically, we have new cars with no equipment [or] the equipment is faulty.”

Naidoo says some EMS workers had to buy their own equipment such as thermometers, blood pressure monitors, and blood glucose monitors. “That is all we have [and] if a patient is critical, we have to rely on cardiopulmonary resuscitation The 4th Quarter Performance procedure (CPR) until we get to a report, which should provide more current numbers, is not yet hospital, and sometimes we find ourselves losing patients. We available as it has not yet been also use our own cellphones to tabled in the provincial communicate with the hospitals legislature. But Northern Cape when we have patients on MEC for Health, Maruping Lekwene, during a media briefing board.” in March said the department has invested in 92 new vehicles worth According to the Western Cape over R50 million since the start of health department’s website, the sixth administration (2019) in equipment that is expected to be in an ambulance includes an effort to beef up ambulance ventilators, a bag valve mask for capacity and ensure better patients that struggle to breathe, response times during a communication radio, a spinal emergencies. This included ambulances, patient transporters, board, and an ECG monitor with a defibrillator. and response vehicles.

Lekwene said during the 2020/2021 financial year, the department added 45 ambulances to reinforce the current fleet, which means that there are between 80 and 90 ambulances on average per day on the road.

“As a department, we have kept our promise that we will reinforce the existing fleet by a further 20 ambulances and 10 [35-seater buses] during the third quarter of 2021/22 financial year.

Furthermore,” he said, “the department is in the process of procuring another 54 vehicles consisting of 32 ambulances, 20 (4x4) ambulances with off-road capability, and two additional patient transporters for delivery in the new financial year (2022/23).

However, it must be noted that there is a global supply challenge with the availability of vehicles, which might impact the speedy

Staff and ambulance shortages Speaking to Spotlight, President of the South African Emergency Personnel Union (SAEPU) Mpho Mpogeng, says, following a visit to the Northern Cape in April this year, it is clear there are many challenges in the province.

“We met with the MEC, and the first issue we want to have addressed is that of the shortage of ambulances and staff. It becomes very difficult for EMS workers to deliver quality service if they are overworked with limited resources. We have noticed that the Northern Cape is a big province with a small population, so it is difficult for the department to run smoothly because of budget constraints.

"We do welcome the procurement of new ambulances, continues on pg 9

Vrydag 20 Mei 2022 continues from pg 8 but the burning issue for us is that the department does not follow the occupational health and safety measures of the EMS workers.

Many workers,” Mpogeng says, “do not have uniforms, and it’s challenging because when they go into the community, they sometimes get attacked because people are unable to identify them.”

but often stay the same.

“At the same time, aside from simply procuring new EMS vehicles, we have been asking the department to look into the slow turnaround time in respect of repairs by Transit Solutions Fleet Management. [I]mproving the repair time of EMS vehicles could also go a long way toward addressing the shortage of ambulances on the roads.”

Slow repair time Democratic Alliance (DA) spokesperson for health in the Northern Cape, Isak Fritz, says the DA has been voicing concerns regarding the Northern Cape EMS, which they say continues to offer inadequate ambulance and patient transport services to residents.

“Considering that the department ideally needs 184 ambulances to be operating every day, we welcome the procurement of new ambulances,” Fritz says. “Due to the distances travelled by ambulances and the poor quality of the province’s roads, many of the newly procured ambulances end up being replacement ambulances and do not always help to add additional capacity to EMS. In effect, ambulance services do not always improve after the procurement of new ambulances,

Fritz says another factor to consider is that the EMS personnel have remained in the region of 800 staff members.

“However, a staff component of 1 830 is ultimately required for the department to realise the target of two-person crews. Procuring ambulances should, therefore, also go hand in hand with appointing additional EMS personnel,” Fritz says.

In practice, a one-person ambulance crew means that the paramedic has to drive the ambulance, which leaves the patient unattended during the journey.

The issue is not new.

In 2018, Noel Desfontaines, General Secretary of Health and Other Service Personnel Trade Union of South Africa (HOSPERSA), wrote in a letter to the Northern Cape Department of Health that this practice is taking place in over 20 EMS stations across the province.

“We strongly condemn the practice of one-man ambulance crew in the Northern Cape. The department is in contravention of the EMS regulations which clearly state that an ambulance must have two crew members. The one-man crew is One-person crews putting enormous pressure on our members when attending to The use of one-person ambulance medical emergencies which in turn crews in the Northern Cape affects the delivery of service,” he appears not to be in line with wrote. national EMS regulations.

Lebogang Majaha repeatedly for

over two weeks to get a comment, but Majaha did not respond.

However, in the latest available performance report, as tabled in the provincial legislature, the department notes several challenges relating to emergency medical services. In the report, the department says staff shortages prevent them from meeting the national response time and delays in filling vacant funded posts mean that the one-person crew situation in the EMS programme, as well as personnel shortages in the administration section, continue.

The department says it has a proposed corrective action plan to fill vacant funded posts and will seek approval to appoint more staff, including the vacant funded posts. The plan is also to replace and procure additional ambulances and to request more money from the Northern Cape Treasury to appoint more staff and procure more resources. The department also notes low staff morale and an increase in labour disputes due to non- or late payment of overtime and allowances as challenges. The timeframe for these plans is unclear. *Not his real name

Stories: Die 7 Elemente Wenke van Welbekende Gepubliseerde Skrywer - Annerle Barnard Moenie jou lesers met lukrake (of toevallige) gebeure verveel nie.

Elke plotpunt moet die gevolg van ‘n karakter se handelinge/besluite wees. Gevolg moet ‘n oorsaak hê. Dit lei tot spanning en noop jou leser om aan te hou lees om uit te vind wat volgende gaan gebeur.

4. Perspektief Perspektief het te doen met die fokaliseerders in jou storie. Deur wie se oë sien die leser die gebeure afspeel?

Die goeie nuus is dat jy min of meer enige idee in ‘n puik storie kan omskep deur seker te maak dat jy aan al 7 hierdie elemente van stories aandag gee.

Stories: die 7 elemente: Tema Milieu Plot Perspektief Styl Karakters Konflik Stories: die 7 elemente Daar is meer elemente waaraan jy aandag kan gee, maar indien jy aandag aan die volgende 7 elemente gee, kan dit ‘n reuseverskil maak.

1. Tema Wat dryf jou om die storie waarmee jy besig is te skryf? Wil jy ‘n sekere gevoel skep? Geen storie het dit ooit ten doel om te preek nie, maar wat onderlê jou storie? Voorbeeld: beide Sindikaat en Spel het groen temas. Sweepslag se tema is mensehandel.

Wanneer jy ‘n tema het wat jou storie onderlê, help dit lesers om die storie beter te onthou. Moet egter nie jou lesers met ‘n lepel voer nie. Vleg aspekte van jou tema deur die storie en laat die lesers toe om hulle eie afleidings te maak.

2. Milieu Die milieu is die wêreld en tydperk waarin jou storie afspeel.

Dink aan die milieu en tyd van Spel vs. die van Sindikaat, Wuthering Heights vs. A Clockwork Orange.

Die boek- en TV-reeks Outlander speel gedurende twee tydperke af (die sewentiende asook die twintigste eeu) — en in verskillende lande (Skotland, Frankryk, Amerika, ens.)

3. Plot Die plot het te doen met die gebeure in jou storie. In amper alle genres benewens literêre fiksie, verhoog die risiko vir die protagonis dramaties en lei tot ‘n onvermydelike klimaks.

In genrefiksie word die gebeure meestal uit die perspektief van die eerste- of beperkte derdepersoon weergegee.

Onthou dat ‘n tiener se perspektief van ‘n volwassene s’n sal verskil. In ‘n artikel wat ek oor tienerperspektief gelees het, het ‘n sielkundige die tienerbrein met ‘n Ferrari vergelyk: “sleek and sexy — but no brakes.” ‘n Handearbeider se perspektief sal verskil van die van ‘n akademikus en ‘n gevangene s’n met die van ‘n wetsgehoorsame burger. Hulle uitkyk op die lewe sal verskil en dit moet ook in die dialoog reflekteer.

5. Styl Jou skryfstyl het te doen met alles wat jou skryfwerk uniek maak insluitend tempo, toonaard en taalgebruik. Sommige skrywers verkies kort, bondige prosa en ander omvangryke beeldspraak en langer sinne.

6. Karakters Ek is mal oor karakters en karakterisering. Myns insiens is dit karakters wat maak dat lesers van ‘n sekere boek/reeks/film hou.

Jou karakters verleen diepte aan die storie. Dit is die lewenskrag van jou storie. Jou karakters se onderskeie persoonlikhede en interaksie met mekaar sal tot konflik lei en konflik dryf stories. ‘n Interessante multidimensionele karakter maak dat jou lesers met hom/haar identifiseer en hulleself in die karakter se skoene kan plaas.

7. Konflik Ek het konflik vir laaste gelos omdat dit so ‘n interessante aspek van genrefiksie is. In omtrent elke genre (behalwe literêre fiksie) is konflik noodsaaklik. Konflik skep vir jou protagonis ‘n doelwit.

Hoe skep jy konflik?

Wat wil jou protagonis bereik, m.a.w. wat is sy/haar doelwit?

Verhoog die risiko en moenie jou protagonis bejammer nie. Gooi so veel as moontlik hekkies in jou protagonis se pad.

Watter morele of innerlike stryd ervaar jou protagonis?

Ek hoop hierdie was van hulp.

Lekker skryf!

Wees getrou aan jouself. Moenie soos ‘n ander skrywer probeer wees nie.

Fishing Rights Allocation Process ‘Beyond The Capacity Of Normal Fisherfolk’ With the extended appeals deadline for the Fishing Rights Allocation Process (FRAP 2022) fast approaching, the Department of Forestry, Fisheries, and the Environment responded to small-scale fishers and fishing groups who believed the entire fishing rights allocation process was fundamentally flawed.

Garcia added that the FRAP took away the fishing resources and then tied them up for the next 10 to 15 years, which meant that even if smallscale fishing groups were able to secure the necessary requirements afterwards, those resources would not be available to them.

Jonathan Julius, Masifundise community liaison officer for Western Cape and Northern Cape, said out of the nine commercial fishing sectors due for re-allocation in the FRAP, only three sectors were identified as eligible small-scale species. “These species have been largely allocated to the commercial sector, leaving very “Online processes are not little for the small-scale fishing something that our people are sector to work from,” Julius said. very familiar with. The ground Julius said another grievance support that was given was was the exorbitant FRAP grossly inadequate for people to application fee. He said several really make a difference in small-scale fishers used their terms of filling in their savings to apply, only to be applications,” Garcia said. unsuccessful, with no refund.

South African United Fishing Front chairperson Pedro Garcia said the fishing rights allocations needed to be observed from different angles, and that the application process, in its entirety, was placed beyond normal fisherfolk in communities.

Department spokesperson Albi Modise said FRAP 2022 targeted the commercial sector, for registered South African companies or individuals that want to pursue business opportunities in the fishing sector – hence it was not intended for small-scale fishers.

Therefore, Modise said the department was finalising the commencement of a different rights allocation process for the Western Cape.

For this to commence, the department was waiting for the

Hey Leah

finalisation of a court process, wherein the minister would request the initial process of declaration of small-scale fishers in the Western Cape to be reviewed and set aside, to make way for a new and improved process for the allocation of fishing rights to small-scale fishers.

“While waiting for the new process, the department issues over 3 000 fishing permits annually to fishing communities, as an interim measure,” Modise said.

Social Ills In Tsantsabane Come a Long Way There is nothing new under the sun and history repeats itself as proven over and over again. The current social ills in Tsantsabane date back to the mid-1800s with the discovery of gold in Johannesburg (1886) and diamonds in Kimberley (1867).

This mineral revolution laid the foundation for Apartheid and created the gap between rich and poor as well as black and white.

If you visit Postmasburg in Tsantsabane, you realize with shock that the economy is still in white ownership and is controlled with an iron fist. The mineral revolution laid the foundations of racial segregation and the control of white South Africans over black South Africans. The Mineral Revolution changed South Africa from being an agricultural society to becoming the largest mineralproducing country in the world.

The social ills in Postmasburg with unemployment and drugs have absolutely nothing to do with race because unemployment and drugs do not have a skin color. Research unequivocally proves that mining laid the foundation for Apartheid and economic division between

For as long as the mineral empire is controlled by politics and corruption with a toothless DMRE and the local economy is still in white possession and people are deliberately kept in poverty by a shattered education system, social ills will be part of society and everyday life. Our country's history proves that a certain racial group was favored in all areas of life and now, years after freedom, we are still experiencing the aftermath of

Apartheid.

All races are suffering from social ills in Tsantsabane and a new approach is needed to tackle the challenges. A church service with 80 people will not have the desired effect. Church leaders must work together across racial boundaries and churches' doors must be open every day. Church leaders need to take a fresh look at themselves and whether they are equipped for the post-modern society where we attend church services on our cell phones and access the doors of heaven with data on our devices.

A prayer service against social ills is to reinvent the wheel and will not work for the unique and changing challenges of Tsantsabane. Social ills in Tsantsabane originated in the mid-1800s and a new approach and way of thinking is needed to tackle the problem. A prayer service and a mayor with a vision are good starting point, but a change in thinking and approach is needed, with all role players around the communion table including myself.

Die Noodsaaklikheid Van Buitemuurse Aktiwiteite Akademiese prestasie geniet die meeste aandag wanneer ons ons kinders se toekomstige sukses oorweeg. Indien ons kinders egter ten volle op akademiese prestasie fokus, kan hulle gestres begin voel. Soveel druk op ʼn jong ouderdom kan soms veroorsaak dat kinders depressief en wrokkig teen hulle skoolwerk begin voel, en dit kan selfs daartoe lei dat hulle tou opgee met hulle studies.

Een studie oor buitemuurse aktiwiteite wat op kinders gedurende die oorgang van middelkinderjare tot vroeë adolessensie gefokus het, het aangedui dat kinders tussen die ouderdomme van ongeveer nege en dertien wat aan buitemuurse aktiwiteite deelgeneem het, hoër Buitemuurse aktiwiteite voorsien vlakke van ʼn gevoel dat hulle kinders van ʼn uitlaatklep.

Buitemuurse aktiwiteite help kinders om sosiale vaardighede te ontwikkel wat hulle as volwassenes sal benodig, en bied geleenthede vir leierskap, samewerking en portuurinteraksie.

Hierdie aktiwiteite kan kinders ook help om positiewe gewoontes te ontwikkel wat hulle met hulle deur die lewe sal saamdra. Van hierdie gewoontes sluit tydsbestuur, Dit kan kinders ook die vermoë gemeenskapsbetrokkenheid, die gee om met mense anders as ontwikkeling van struktuur en hulleself te kommunikeer, wat hul roetine, volharding en wêreldbeskouings sal uitbrei. deursettingsvermoë in.

Buitemuurse aktiwiteite vind in baie gevalle in groepe plaas. Jou kind sal leer dat hy nie alleen in sy belangstelling is nie, en hoe om met eendersdenkende individue te kommunikeer. Om met jongmense met dieselfde belangstellings te sosialiseer, kan

Dan is daar natuurlik ook die goeie nuus wat die sirkel voltooi: tieners wat in buitemuurse aktiwiteite betrokke is, doen akademies beter, en staan ʼn groter kans om matriek te voltooi.

What Is The Risk Of Not Having A Contract Of Employment In Place?

Whilst the common law does not require contracts of employment to be reduced to writing, the Basic Conditions of Employment Act, Act 29 of 1997 (“the BCEA”) requires every employer to provide the employee with a written contract of employment no later than the first day of commencement of employment and which must contain certain particulars.

Failure to comply with the provisions of the BCEA in this regard may result in the imposition of a fine. However, the failure to reduce the contract of employment to writing does not render it void.

All persons regarded as employees (with, or without contracts) are under the protection of existing labour legislation and principles according to

section 83A of the Basic Conditions of Employment Act, section 200A of the Labour Relations Act and Common Law. It is seen as a necessity to reduce the agreement in writing and have a contract in place to regulate important conditions of employment and to avoid unnecessary disputes, to have clarity regarding the rights and responsibilities of both parties in the employment relationship.

These conditions are, but not limited to job descriptions, business hours, remuneration, disciplinary codes, etc.

Monakali advised community members to take full ownership of the school.

“This school will be equipped with a computer laboratory.

We do not want incidents where we hear reports that the computers were stolen and the school was vandalised.

The only way we can curb such incidents is when the community works in partnership with the school governing body (SGB) and the teachers to ensure that vandalism does not occur.

Such incidents hamper not only service delivery, but also the proper education of our children.”

He also urged the community not to buy stolen property.

“Community members should also not make it possible for such incidents to occur by buying stolen property used in the construction of the school.

Do not go and buy a computer or any other property that was stolen from the school.”

World Press Freedom Day Celebrates Digital Media With More Reach and Cheaper Rates World Press Freedom Day is a commemoration of the fundamentals of press freedom and ethical journalism.

This day serves as a reminder to the government and government officials that press freedom is important to the media. The press offers a world of knowledge and the ability to communicate and interact with others, as it is a reflection among media professionals.

This year’s theme is “Journalism under Digital Siege”.

Investigative journalist and journalism trainer, Raymond Joseph, gave his view on World Press Freedom Day and how the media and press are being portrayed and treated by the general public.

“It has never been easier to be a journalist, and it has never been harder to be one too. Social media has opened up a platform for everyone who may have beef with a journalist about any story, to troll and harass journalists using pseudonyms or even their own identity.”

He added that this is what journalists have to live with day by day, and this usually follows when he or any other journalist pursues a risky or controversial story.

“Social media is a fantastic tool for journalists in resourcing and finding story ideas. However, it has become a weapon of attack to journalists and their view and opinion on stories.”

Joseph added that it was much easier in the previous years to get a response directly from a cabinet minister, it has now become nearly impossible to speak directly to the officials.

Regarding response time and enquiries sent to government officials and people in high positions, he expressed that most spokespersons representing senior officials, may be ex-journalists or media representatives who would have never tolerated the response time or disregard that they display to media representatives.

the officials and the public.

Journalists ask questions to inform and for a purpose.

However, these spokespersons make a journalist's job much harder to do and restrict their responsibility to inform the public about what is going on in the world".

He further added that if there is one thing journalists can take away from this is that just because a spokesperson and/or official does not answer does not mean that the story will not be written. “All I will do is write the story and add that the person in question has failed to respond, although they were given a reasonable time frame,” he said.

According to a joint statement by the Amnesty International SA, Campaign for Free Expression, Committee to Protect Journalists, Media Monitoring Africa, and the SA National Editors’ Forum, South Africa is facing several threats to freedom of expression.

These include police, political parties, and public attacks on journalists, as well as online threats such as hate speech and harassment.
