A

new forum which is aimed at helping early childhood development centres (ECD) and non-governmental organisations (NGO) in different communities was launched in Philippi.

Masonwabe Forum, which works with ECDs and NGOs based in Philippi, Samora Machel, Nyanga and Gugulethu, was launched on Saturday 21 March at the Phil-

ippi Village.

The forum’s chair Nokubonga Mepeni said the idea is to unite ECDs and NGOs under one umbrella.

He said most ECDs currently work in silos and the forum is an ideal platform for sharing ideas around some of the challenges. The forum would also eliminate confusion and inconvenience for residents.

“After seeing that we offer different skills to people that need help and can work well together we decided to start the forum,” she said.

Mepeni said they work with NGOs and

ECDs so they can get funding to help them to grow and offer each other advice. She said the response they received from the communities is amazing.

She said most people see the value that the forum brings and add to their organisations.

Andile Zizonke, of Imizamo Yethu Educare Centre in Marikana, said when they started they did not know what they wanted, but after joining the forum they got the help they needed to grow as the centre.

“We did not know anything about having a business plan and zoning structures and

policies but thanks to Masonwabe they gave us the help we needed,” he said.

He said the forum also helped them get funding and they applied on their behalf and the money went straight into the account of the ECD. Nomandla Sikithi, of Sophumelela Educare Centre in Kanana informal settlement, said she was happy when she was introduced to the forum. She said she is hoping to get a lot of help the forum because there are a lot of things they do not have.

She said they were promised that they will be helped and she can’t wait.

CITY VISION Thursday, 26 March 2020

President’s decision is the best solution Desperate times call for desperate measures, and we cannot simply sit back and fold our arms, pretend as though things are normal when they are surely abnormal.

As journalists our job is to inform and educate society, more so at times when we, as a nation and the entire universe, find our selves facing the deadly Covid-19 virus, commonly referred to as the coronavirus. This is a term or word on everyone’s lips. Covid19, the latest strain of coronavirus, has certainly changed our way of life and that is evident everywhere we go.

Yet, there are people who continue with their lives as though all is normal.

Things are not normal and we cannot continue with life as usual. Hand sanitizers, something that I usually buy as part of my kids stationery, is the new in-thing. We are forced to wash or sanitize our hands all the time to curb the spread of this disease.

As South Africans, we are still very lucky.

While the number of cases continues to rise,

we are nowhere near to what is happening in Italy, China, United States of America (USA) and many European countries. However, we could soon find ourselves in a worse situation than all those countries if we continue with our lives as if things are normal when they are certainly not, particularly as black people.

The large majority of our white counterparts are taking serious measures to minimise the spread of the diseases. Yet it is another story when it comes to black people.

Life continues as usual despite several measures put in place by the government to slow down the infection rate.

On Sunday 15 March, president Cyril Ramaphosa urged the nation to unite behind the fight against this pandemic, including an earlier closure of schools until after the Easter holidays.

He also announced the ban of gatherings of more than 100 people and social distancing. Many have heeded his call with compa-

nies adopting a work from home approach for employees. It was on Tuesday 17 March when my employers advised everyone to work from home. These are all measures to mitigate the spread of Covid-19. It is sad though to see how some black people continue to defy everything that is happening around the globe. Sentiments such as “yinto yabantu abamhlophe”, loosely meaning it’s a white people’s disease, have become part of our vocabulary. How stupid can one be?

Today, we are sitting with one of the highest HIV/Aids pandemic largely because of this attitude.

Driving past various social gathering venues across our townships over the weekend, I wondered how many of those patrons took the pandemic and measures put in place serious. It could only take one person with Covid-19 to cause havoc for all the other patrons.

Perhaps, the 21-day lockdown as announced by president Cyril Ramaphosa on Monday 23 March is the best possible solution to flattening the curve around the spread of the Covid-19.

Indlela?

Ndithi huntshu kuwe mongameli THULANI MAGAZI thulani@media24.com

Ngeentsuku zika xakeka kuye kunyanzeleke ukuba kuthathwe izigqibo nokuba zibonakala zingekho zingqondweni kuninzi. Asinto ilula ukusonga izandla ubukele logama kumoshakala, kwaye ke njengoonondaba luxanduva lwethu ukuba sifundise kwaye sixhobise uluntu ngezinto yinto ezichaphazela ubomi bethu kwiindawo ezahlukeneyo.

Logama lo mhlathi ufana ncakasane nalo wesiNgesi, ubhalwe ekhohlo, kubalulekile ukuba ngelinye ixesha senze izinto ezikumile kunje ukuthibaza okanye ukulungisa isimo, ingakumbi ngemihla ka xakeka, imihla ye ntsolongwane i-corona nebizwa ngokuba yi covid-19. Lo gama le ntsholongwane ingumbulalazwe, kubonakala ngokungathi uninzi aluyisi ngqalelo yonke lo nto, kwaye kukho inkolo ethi esi sisifo sabantu abamhlophe, luvo olu lubububhanxa.

Ngawo lo mzuzu kukho uninzi olwanyelisa umongameli Cyril Ramaphosa ngokufaka ilizwe phantsi kolawulo olungqingwa oluthibaza ukuhamba kwabantu isithuba seeveki ezintathu ukususela ezinzulwini zobusuku namhlanje. Logama bambi besithi uthande ukuba ngqwabalala umongameli, inyaniso emsulwa yeyokuba uninzi lwethu lufana nqwa namatakane ebhokhwe.

Kwisithuba esingaphezulu kweveki endlulileyo, umongameli Ramaphosa wabhengeza imigqaliselo eyahlukeneyo ukuzama ukuthibaza ukunwenwa kwale ntsholongwane, endaweni yokuba senze oku kuthiwa masikwenze suka sayibona ibubuvuvu yonke loo migqaliselo.

Kwimpelaveki edlulileyo ndibone uninzi lwabantu luzonwabisa njengesigqelo kwiindawo ezahlukeneyo zolonwabo, noxa kumiselwe umthetho othibaza iindibano zabantu abangaphezulu kwekhulu. Uninzi luphefumlelana njengesingqelo, ingomnye phezu komnye, logama kuthiwe masigcine umgama ongaphezulu kwemitha phakathi kwethu ukuthintela ukunwenwa kwesi sifo. Umbuzo wam ibe ngothi ingaba akukho namnye na kwaba bantu onaso esi sifo?

Ngokweenzululwazi ukunwenwa kwale ntsholongwane kuthatha umntu nje omnye, ihambe ko okomlilo wedobo. Lo nto ithi umntu omnye angenza uninzi luzibone luphila nale ntsholongwane lungaqondanga. Ingxaki emandla kukuba le ntsholongwane iyazifihla emzimbeni ukusukela kusuku ukuya kwisithuba seentsuku ezili 14. Ngamafutshane ungahlala nomntu umbone ephilile kanti sele ekosulele kuba isazifihlile kuye, wothuke sele kophulwe. Kwaye ke ukususela ngela xesha uyifumana nawe uzakuhamba uyisasaza ungaqondanga.

Njengentloko yombuso umongameli unelungelo lokuthatha amanyathelo, nokuba awaqhelekanga, ukulungisa izinto. Logama inyathelo lakhe libonakala lingaginyeki kuninzi, yinto efanelekileyo nebonakalisa ubugorha, ubuthandazwe nokungabilibhetyebhetye. Ewe kuza kubanzima, kodwa kungcono kwalo nto kunokuba abukele isizwe sitshabalala, kwaye bekumele athatyathwa kudala la manyathelo, abhengezwe ngoMvulo. La manyathelo azakunika urhulumente ithuba lokohlula bonke abantu abachaphazeleke, nobo suleleke yile ntsholongwane, nokuqinisekisa ukuba amanyathelo afanelekileyo ayathatyathwa ukubanika uncedo. Lo nto ithi emva kweentsuku ezingama 21 wonke umntu, kuxhomekeke ekubeni inyanzeliswa kanjani le migqaliselo, bonke abantu abangabonakalisanga zimpawu zesi sifo baphilile, ze kuthi bonke abo banaso bagcinwe ekhusini ukuze bafumane uncedo.

Okona kubalulekileyo ngeli xesha kukuba wonke ubani athobele umthetho angalindi ukubona amajoni okanye amapolisa phambi kokuba enze into elungileyo. Masithathe eli thuba ukuzigcina sikhuselekile, sikhusele nabo sibathandayo.

Konke okwenziwayo kwenzelwa thina sonke kunye nengomso eliqaqambileyo. Ewe abantu baza kuphulukana nemisebenzi kwaye uqoqosho luza kubetheka ngamandla, kodwa kungcono lo nto kunokuba sizibone sele sinentyhikityha yokufa ngenxa yalo mbulala-zwe. Masithintele intsabalalo efana nebangelwe sisifo sika gawulayo kubantu bakuthi, ingakumbi isizwe esimnyama.

Masenze njengoko zisenza zonke ezinye iintlanga singathi esi sifo sisifo sabantu abathile, kungenjalo sakulicula elandincamisayo.

U-Yekani, nowayefudula ehlala kwingingqi yako 34 eHarare, eKhayelitsha, uxelele iCity Vision ukuba wathengisa indlu yakhe ngenjongo yokuzithengela enye. “Emva kokuba ndithengise le ndlu ndiye ndayokuhlala kumzala wam eBlackheath. Ndithe ndiselapho ndabona kuGumtree kuthengiswa indlu, kodwa wawungekho umfanekiso wayo kwakukho nje inombolo yomnxeba yomntu endinoqhakamshelana naye,” ucacise watsho uYekani.

Waleke ngelithi wayithatha le nombolo waze wayitsalela umnxeba efuna ukwazi banzi ngayo. Uqhube wathi umnxeba waphakanyiswa ngumntu ongusisi nowathi wazichaza njengegqwetha eliphuma kumzi wamagqwetha eSomerset West. Uhambise wathi baqhubekile bencokola emnxebeni de kwafikelela ixesha lokuba ayoyibona le ndlu kwindawo yaseBlue Downs. Ukanti uhambise wathi kwesi sithuba uxelelwe ukuba uzakuhamba nomnye umthengisi zindlu, nochazwe njengo Terresa, ukuya kujonga le ndlu.

“Eneneni ndaya eBlue Downs ndadibana nalo sisi wandibonisa indlu leyo, wathi ixabiso layo li R180 000. Ndaye ndakholwa yinkangeleko yendlu ndavuma ukuba ndizakuyithenga wade wandidibanisa no mninindlu,” utshilo uYekani.

Waleke ngelithi ingxaki kaYekani wafuna ukufaka abanye abantu bangaphandle kulo mba wokuthenga lendlu abangangeni ndawo, watsho etyholo u-Yekani “ngokungaqiqi”.

Uhambise watyhola lo ka Yekani ngokuthetha apha, athetha phaya. “Wathi uzokuza neenkokheli zokuhlala azofuna imali yakhe.

Xa iCity Vision imbuza uNdinisa ukuba uyazelaphi yonke le nkcazelo nanjengoko ebethe ungunobhala, uphendula ngelithi uYekani ebemncokolela indabazakhe. Ugrogrise uYekani ngelithi beyinkampani bazakumangalela ngokungcolisa igama lenkampani yabo.

Ithe iCity Vision xa ibuza uNdinisa ukuba ingaba inkampani ibhaliswe ngokusemthethweni na njengoko uYekani esithi ayibhaliswa kwaye noGwaza ayilogqwetha, khange afune ukuwuphendula lo mbuzo ngokuthe ngqo, koko naye usuke wabuza ukuba bangakwazi njani usebenza inkampani yabo ingabhaliswanga.

Isithethi samapolisa aseMfuleni uNovember Filander ungqinile ukuba ityala lobuqhophololo livuliwe. Kodwa uye wala ukuthetha ngelityala gabalala ngelithi amapolisa asaphanda, kwaye ngenxa yobuzaza bale meko lizakuthatha ixesha ukuba liqosheliswe uphando.

Residents demand water

Tourist sites closed for now

SIYABONGA KALIPA

In a bid to contain the spread of Covid-19, many public facilities and tourist attractions have temporarily closed their doors.

On Monday 23 March president Cyril Ramaphosa a 21-day-national lockdown starting today at midnight until Thursday 16 April.

At the time of going to print there were 709 confirmed cases in South Africa. It is hoped

Amid fears over the deadly Covid-19 virus, the City of Cape Town has agreed to “temporarily suspend water restrictions” for households who are in arrears.

The announcement follows a protest by a group of Khayelitsha residents outside the local City of Cape Town offices on Tuesday 24 March.

Residents said they have been without water for at least two weeks. They urged the City to provide them with water to prevent the spread of the disease in the neighbourhood.

Harare resident Qaba Mbola said he has been without water for two weeks. “The City closed my water knowing very well that we are told to wash our hands regularly to reduce the risk of catching the Covid- 19,” he said.

Mbola said he is unemployed and cannot afford to pay his water bill. He urged the City to reinstate his water supply to minimise the risk of catching the virus.

He said many people around Khayelitsha are having problems with their water supply. He added that the City should be held

accountable if any of the affected households gets infected by the spread of the pandemic.

Another resident Ndileka Mabusela from Makhaza said it has been a week since her water supply was cut off and it has been difficult for the family to survive. She said she relied on neighbours for help.

“They got tired of me asking them for water in order to cook, wash and relieve ourselves,” she said.

Mabusela said she is also unemployed and cannot afford to pay her water bill.

Subcouncil 10 manager Mandlenkosi Sitonga told the protestors that he heard about the issue of water in some houses in Khayelitsha. He promised to visit some affected households in a quest to help them.

However, in a statement released last week, the City said as a health precaution in light of Covid-19 there will be a temporary suspension of new water restrictions for those who are in arrears with their municipal accounts and facing debt management actions.

The City urged customers to accept the temporary action in good faith and to continue to use water sparingly and only for health and hygiene purposes.

Customers fear for the worse as Shoprite catches fire UNATHI OBOSE A full independent forensic investigation will be conducted to determine the cause of fire that damaged a section of Shoprite at the Khayelitsha Mall.

In a media statement, the retailer said it is unclear what caused the fire that broke out at 07:00 on Tuesday 24 March and confirmed that no one was injured during the incident.

Jermaine Carelse, the City’s fire and rescue services spokesperson, added that firefighters managed to contain the blaze to the storeroom area.

However, he said partial damage to the deli and bakery was caused when a section of the wall collapsed.

Carelse added that no injuries were reported.

Khayelitsha residents who woke up to a

black smoke described the incident as terrible.

Resident Phumla Memani from Town Two described the incident as terrible. She said it is going to hit local consumers hard in their pockets.

“My concern is, where are we going to buy food? We were depending on Shoprite.

Now, we have to spend money for transport and go to Promenade Mall in Mitchell’s Plain,” said Memani.

She said she doesn’t want to go to big malls fearing of her life.

“The president has said we must take precaution of our lives and promote social distance. If I go to Promenade or Somerset West Malls I’m inviting sickness,” she claimed.

Memani called shop owners to urgently look at fixing the damage and have the store up and running soon.

New rules amid Covid-19 fears UNATHI OBOSE

M

embers of Khayelitsha Health Forum (KHF) have welcomed the new procedures proposed by the Khayelitsha District Hospital to curb the spread of the Covid-19 virus in the hospital.

A statement released by the hospital on Monday 23 March stated that the provincial department of health is adjusting in-hospital visiting protocols to limit the growing risk around the possible transmission of Covid19.

The statement also stated that the adjustment is in line with the principle of social distancing to limit interaction and slowing down the spread of the virus. “The adjustments during visiting times may include reduced visiting times (19:00 – 20:00 every day).

One visitor per patient. No patient rotation and no under 12 year olds,” read the statement.

The statement advised people to stay away from public spaces and avoid social and religious gatherings. “Remember to practice good hand hygiene and cough etiquette. If you are using public transport please open the windows for ventilation and cover your cough or sneeze in a tissue or your arm,” read the statement.

KHF chair Mzanywa Ndibongo described the steps as “a great initiative” to prevent the spreading of the virus.

He said the proposal will assist to curb the spread of the virus.

“The president had announced that people must take care of themselves. The president also encouraged social distancing. So, the hospital limiting the number of visitors per patient is a good idea. The family members of a patient can make turns if they visit the patient,” said Ndibongo.

He urged government to provide sanitisers for people to be able to clean their hands.

City’s drivers shift up a gear AVRIL FILLIES avril.fillies@media24.com

A total of 170 drivers of the City of Cape Town were put through their paces at the annual Driver of the Year competition held at the Turfhall Stadium in Lansdowne on Thursday 12 March.

According to the Mayco member for corporate services, Sharon Cottle, the participants are City employees whose core function is to drive City vehicles every day.

“The criteria was to obtain the highest score from five driving manoeuvres. The total score is 500 and each manoeuvre weighs 100 points,” she says.

Prior to the competition, the drivers had a practice session.

“The competition comprises of three categories namely Code B, C1, C, EC1 and EC and the winners are selected from each category.

The competition was hosted by the City’s occupational health and safety fleet risk con-

trol division and staff members from different City departments took part,” Cottle says.

The annual competition was first held in 1995.

The objective of the competition is to enhance the drivers’ road-safety knowledge, to prevent and reduce crashes and to reduce fleet maintenance costs. The competition also gives recognition to all good drivers who use the City’s vehicles daily.

The first, second and third place winners will receive a trophy, a certificate and a gift at a separate awards ceremony.

“I want to commend all staff who willingly put their driving skills under the spotlight in this competition. This shows their commitment to being proud City ambassadors by displaying high levels of competency in meeting the challenges of the competition. We acknowledge also that these driving skills play a big part in ensuring that key components of the City’s operations function effectively,” Cottle says.

The winners of the competition will be announced later in the year.

Drivers of the City of Cape Town compete in the Driver of the Year competition at the Turfhall Stadium in Lansdowne.

City to restore dirt collection SAMANTHA LEE-JACOBS samantha.lee@peoplespost.co.za

I

f you are among the residents frustrated with sporadic refuse collection, this should soon be resolved.

The City of Cape Town’s refuse collection services should see steady, progressive improvement over the next three weeks following disruptions to refuse removal times and subsequent backlogs.

The backlogs were caused by revised procedures to audit and governance processes that came into effect from Friday 24 January affecting repairs to vehicles and infrastructure throughout the municipality.

“This is primarily being felt in the solid waste collections service due to the high demands placed on vehicles in the service and the associated intensive maintenance programmes that are required to keep the service working normally,” says Mayco member for water and waste, Xanthea Limberg.

“The entire city is affected in varying degrees from day to day. The situation is dependent on the availability of refuse compactor vehicles.”

The finalisation of 709 purchase orders for the servicing of its 211 refuse vehicles in line with the new audit requirements should see that matter resolved.

“Suppliers are also being requested to speed up repairs and maintenance of vehicles to get them back on the road again.

Where applicable, senior staff in the solid waste service has also been recalled from leave to ensure contingencies, such as redistribution of vehicles to worse-affected areas, are in place to minimise the impact on residents while the backlog of vehicle repairs is being tackled,” says Limberg.

“We have worked hard to ensure that the revised procedures do not have an indefinite negative impact on service delivery.

City financial experts have developed ways to speed up the procurement process in a manner that is compliant with the new audit and governance requirements while at the same time, together with our solid waste department, everyone has done their utmost to ensure that the impact on services is minimised wherever humanly possible.

We know that our residents are proud of our reliable refuse collection services and of the City’s sound governance. Our commitment to top service delivery remains strong,” says Mayco member for finance, Ian Neil-

son.

From Monday 16 March, a new service schedule was implemented which will mean that refuse collection should not be delayed by more than one day.

“Residents throughout the city should please bring their bins out by 07:00 in the morning, and leave them outside until 21:00 until collected. Residents are also implored not to resort to illegal dumping if collection delays cause refuse to build-up to the point where it cannot fit in the wheelie bins,” says Limberg.

With residents needing to leave their bins out for extended periods of time, the risk of theft also increases.

Limberg says: “It is unfortunately necessary for our staff to work overtime to ensure that residents continue to receive the collection service. We understand that bins are at risk of theft, and stolen bins are replaced free of charge. In order to have a stolen bin replaced, the resident must report the matter to police and make a sworn affidavit.

Thereafter they may call the call centre on 086 010 3089 or visit a municipal cash office, and have on hand their municipal account number and the affidavit. A request (C3) will be created for the bin to be replaced. The replacement bin will be delivered within seven working days.”

While in some instances refuse has not been collected, the City says they are unable to rebate refuse collection tariffs charged.

“The current tariff charged for refuse removal is a monthly tariff. As such, we are not able to apportion into weekly instalments. The service is being provided but in some cases is delayed. We assure residents that all beats are being completed. If refuse has not been collected within a day of the scheduled collection this should be reported to the call centre,” says Limberg.

The risk of illegal dumping has also increased.

“Illegal dumping occurs in all areas across the city and it is not possible to identify the motivation behind it. Excess refuse that cannot fit in the wheelie bins will also be collected until this problem is resolved.”

Residents are also implored not to resort to illegal dumping if collection delays cause refuse to build up to the point where it cannot fit in the wheelie bins. “The City apologises for this inconvenience. We want to thank our residents for their patience during this time while every effort is being made to restore normal service,” says Limberg.

Clinics, hospitals prepared for virus SAMANTHA LEE-JACOBS

City of Cape Town have already started implementing measures to mitigate these risks. ith the number of Covid-19 infections Maret Lesch, Western Cape department of rising by the day, Western Cape health spokesperson, says the province runs health facilities are preparing for all 457 primary health care service points and 33 eventualities. district hospitals, five regional hospitals, six With the announcement made by president tuberculosis hospitals, four psychiatric hosCyril Ramaphosa on Monday 23 March to pitals, two central hospitals, and one tertiary place the country under a 21-day-lockdown hospital. and the ever increasing number of Covid-19 The City of Cape Town runs 104 facilities infections plans are already in place to deal with close to 250 000 patients expected to visit with all health related matters. At the time its facilities over the winter and autumn periof going print there were 709 confirmed cases ods. of Covid-19 in South Africa.

Our day clinics are open for eight hours per day, we also have 12-hour and 24-hour facilities. Most of our facilities offer a comprehensive service package, ranging from chronic care to acute medical care.

In 2018/2019 we saw 14.1 million patients in our primary health care (clinic) facilities,” she says.

To ensure that long queues are avoided at the provincial facilities, Lesch says Hand washing and good hygiene is key to protecting yourself from the department is contracting the virus.

arrive on time for their appointments.

“We ask that patients do not arrive hours before their appointment times so that we can limit the number of people in the waiting area. Chronic medication can be collected at our off-site (clinical decision unit) CDU, which also reduces the number of people waiting at the clinic. We ask that people waiting to be seen follow proper hygiene protocol by washing their hands and covering their cough or sneeze with the bend of their arm or a tissue. Discard the tissue immediately after use and wash hands,” says Lesch.

City clinics have further implemented a contingency measure that will decongest the facilities.

“These will include providing medication for two months or more, appointment systems and staggering clinic visits. Each clinic will have a different approach, based on their specific client load,” says Badroodien.

Some of the other measures being put in place include postponements of elective surgeries, discharging of patients in stable condition for further management at home.

“All clinics are following strict hand hygiene protocol. Patients are also screened via a questionnaire before entering the facility to ensure they do not match the case definition for Covid-19. We have also adjusted our visitation policy at all government hospitals to limit the number of visitors per patient in line with social distancing guidelines as a measure to reduce the possible risk of spreading Covid-19,” says Lesch.

Badroodien adds: “Clinics already have very strict hygiene procedures in place called ‘infection control procedures’ as we are used to dealing with infectious diseases such as TB. These include excellent hand hygiene, sterilisation of equipment and correct removal of hazardous waste. Simple actions such as good ventilation and positioning of patients in waiting rooms are also key.”

Anyone infected by Covid-19 has flu-like symptoms and those most at risk have trav-

elled to an area where the virus is spreading from person-to-person in the community or if someone has had close contact with a confirmed or suspected case of Covid-19.

“If you suspect you meet the description and case definition for Covid-19 you should isolate yourself at home for 14 days. Call the National Institute for Communicable Diseases (NICD) hotline on 0800 029 999, Provincial Hotline on 021 928 4102, or your doctor and explain your symptoms. They will advise you on the next steps.

“Should you be referred to go for testing, do not go directly to a health facility – call ahead and alert them that you are coming so they can prepare for your arrival to prevent further spread of the virus. Only people matching the case definition for Covid-19 will be tested,” says Lesch.

Currently, primary care clinics are not testing clients for Covid-19, says Badroodien.

“Training is under way to increase this capacity. Anyone who presents at a facility is screened and appropriately referred if need be. In the meantime, however, we ask that residents first call one of the hotlines that have been established to assist persons who have reason to believe that they may have contracted the virus,” he says.

City health has also implemented the identification of rapid response teams, in association with the metro district health service, to do contact tracing and collect samples, ensuring facilities are prepared to deal with the outbreak, if required, ensuring all staff members are trained to respond to any patient in the event of a suspected case, acquiring personal protective equipment for staff and information posters to display in waiting rooms and other public facilities “The City’s environmental health practitioners have also ramped up their health promotion awareness and education sessions, around good hygiene practices to avoid contracting and or spreading the virus,” says Badroodien.

Organisation calls for help in ‘vulnerable communities’ RACINE EDWARDES While white-collar workers, who traditionally reside in affluent areas, have been encouraged to start working from home, Ralph Bouwers is concerned about the plight of blue-collar workers who are not afforded the same luxury.

Bouwers says, as a result of this, it stands to reason that residents from poorer communities, such as the Cape Flats and townships, will be harder hit by the Covid-19 outbreak.

Bouwers, the founder of the community upliftment initiative Guardians of the National Treasure, works closely with children from Lavender Hill. The non-profit organisation (NPO) has launched several sporting and art clubs to provide a constructive outlet for children.

The Lavender Hill soccer teams have come out victorious at several tournaments despite only being established about two years ago.

But since president Cyril Ramaphosa’s decree to close schools to encourage social distancing, Bouwers says the community has been in a state of limbo.

“We have completely stopped everything; nothing is happening. I walked through the community yesterday and the kids were sitting in the courts. In every corner, I could see 10 to 20 kids just sitting.”

One of his main concerns is that vulnerable communities have not been educated and equipped to handle the outbreak.

“There’s been no way to prepare the communities with sanitisers and wipes. The only organisation that came to the party was Peninsula Schools Feeding Association which donated 500 loaves of bread and they sent that to lots of locations.”

In addition to the lack of resources available to practice good hygiene, little social distancing is being practised in Lavender Hill, according to Bouwers.

“On certain days, I’ve seen about 60 kids just walking in the road,” he says.

“It has been recommended to wash your hands for 20 seconds but here they have to share a bowl to wash their hands.

“What’s happening is that the poor areas

have been crippled.”

The solution, Bouwers recommends, is for relief organisations and NPOs to gather resources and to get knowledgeable people into vulnerable communities to educate residents.

He has also contacted various organisations in Cape Town to ask for assistance.

“We must shift support to where it is needed; in the areas lacking resources and townships.”

Guardians of the National Treasure will be distributing food it has received from supporting organisations to vulnerable communities. “I’ll get one aunty to come from one street and we can give her the food to give to everybody else in the street. We will be doing this in a controlled and orderly manner.”

Another concern is the effect the temporary shutdown of businesses, and the subsequent lack of work will have on the already

crime-ridden community.“In my street, three of the youngsters have been told not to come to work; that there is no work for them. What that is going to do to the crime – when people don’t have money and need to put food on the table,” says Bouwers.

He also warns that some people are now going to use the opportunity to capitalise on the health crisis.

“We can expect all sorts of things to come out of the woodwork,”he says.

Local Lavender Hill sports teams and children who used to participate in sport as a means to stay off the street are now at risk once again as the Covid-19 pandemic halts sporting activities.

FUN AND GAMES: KIDS HAVE A BLAST

Newlands hosts mini-cricket O

ver 1 000 kids attended the Western Province KFC mini-cricket provincial festival at the Newlands cricket ground on Friday 13 March.

The programme brings youngsters from across the country together and not only introduces them to the wonderful game of cricket, but also allows them to play and have fun.

The festival was hosted by the Cape Cobras, with players Simon Khomari, Isaac Dikgale and Rory Kleinveldt all there to assist in coaching the kids and looking for talent.

The Western Province women’s team came out in full force including their coach Claire Terblanche as well as Proteas players and Western Province players Sinalo Jafta, Andrie Steyn and Laura Wolvaardt.

Wolvaardt has just returned from the Women’s T20 World Cup and where she was picked in the combined World XI. “I started playing cricket by playing minicricket and it started with me just playing to do something to keep me busy but I see that things have changed considerably since I played. I can see that there are a lot more kids playing mini-cricket, they know a lot more about cricket than what I used to and

they really have a lot of fun. As players we don’t always know the impact that we have on the players. My brother plays rugby and when his mates come back from a minicricket festival they tell him about all the professional players that they have met and how the players have inspired them. Who knows, one of the kids that I spoke to today could be the next Laura Wolvaardt.” said Jafta.

“We had 1 000 kids and over 200 coaches that come from schools from all five regions in the Western Cape. These youngsters and their teachers get excited to play on a big stage like the Newlands Cricket ground where they get to see their heroes play. It was special for the kids to get to see (Simon) Khomari, (Isaac) Dikgale, (Laura) Wolvaardt, (Andrie) Steyn and (Sinalo) Jafta at the festival, but the big surprise for me was when retired Proteas player Rory Kleinveldt actually asked me if he could attend the festival to coach the kids. It just shows how special the programme is for the players for them to ask to be part of it,” said Mark Khoabane, Western Province mini-cricket coordinator.

The attending children from the various schools across the province are a part of the 124 000 kids from 6 495 schools that take part in over 44 000 mini-cricket matches around the country over the cricket season.

The mini-cricket programme remains one of the most significant development programmes in the South African sporting landscape and goes far beyond the game of cricket.

Children from all walks of life will continue to have a platform that will help them grow, develop and shine in hopes of reaching their full potential and realise their dreams and possibly become the future stars of this counSimon Khomari of the Cape Cobras (right) interacts during the KFC try, like their Protea heMini-Cricket Western Province Festival at Newlands cricket ground on roes.

Philippi-East LFA suspends games after Covid-19 outbreak UNATHI OBOSE Philippi-East Local Football Association has suspended all the games at Vuyiseka Sport Complex due to the Covid-19 pandemic outbreak.

The association, which falls under the South African Football Association (SAFA) Cape Town, said it decided to fall all the regulations to curb the spread of the virus.

Former vice-president of the association Brian Matiwane described the break as part of precautionary measures to prevent the spreading of Covid-19.

“The coronavirus is a serious case. The virus is very dangerous to the community at large and there is no way that we can underestimate its power. By suspending the games, we are trying to protect our players,” said Matiwane.

He stated that the league did not start yet and they were playing pre-season tournaments and friendly games just to keep the players fit.

“Our league was supposed to start on Saturday 18 April, but the last games at Vuyiseka Sport Complex were on Friday 20 March for the u.12 teams. We monitored the games and made sure that after each game the players leave.

“We didn’t want them to be crowded at the stadium,” he stated.

Matiwane said they even wrote letters to

“On Saturday 21 March we were supposed to elect a new executive for the association at Vuyiseka but we couldn’t because of this Covid-19 pandemic.

“We were already invited by SAFA Cape Town officials to preside over the meeting,” he said.
