Patients increases but nurses don’t COVID-19 NEWS – COVID-19 NEWS – COVID-19 NEWS

| 06 | COMMUNITY The Free State was one of the first provinces in South Africa to enter the third wave of Covid-19 infections.

Halfway into June, the National Department of Health’s statistics showed the Free State has 108 515 confirmed cases and 4 612 deaths with 94 761 recoveries. Provincial health spokesperson Mondli Mvambi admits the province’s health system is under pressure but he says the situation is under control. “Even though our healthcare system is under pressure we are indeed coping. Days are different. Today we have one available bed, tomorrow we have two,” he says. “But I can confirm that the situation is under control at our hospitals in the province. Also, we will not boast about one or two available beds. The National District Hospitals continue to be at full capacity. At Universitas Academic Hospital we are still using the Covid-19 extension ward which was formerly used as a parking lot to accommodate the influx of patients,” says Mvambi. According to data collected by the National Institute for Communicable Diseases (NICD) in the second week of June, clinical information of admitted patients showed in the 35 public hospitals in the Free State, 253 patients were admitted, seven patients are in ICU, 14 patients are on ventilation and 154 are on high-flow nasal oxygen. A spokesperson for Mediclinic in Bloemfontein, Barbara Steenkamp says they too are not facing a crisis.

“The number of COVID-19 admissions have been quite high over the past few weeks. However, as the situation stands today, Mediclinic Bloemfontein is coping.

“We have 82 patients, 62 of them are in Covid-19 wards and 20 are in ICU. We have a total of 90 beds allocated for Covid-19 patients. Admissions for Covid-19 fluctuate between 18 and 19 patients per day. The statistics have more or less been looking like this for the past two weeks,” she

072 757 0514

says. “In total, we have two wards allocated for Covid-19 and two ICUs which are fully occupied. So, we have enough beds and we have enough ventilators.” Life Rosepark Hospital, however, is under pressure. Hospital manager Hein Rossouw says the Covid-19 wards are under pressure and are experiencing a very high occupancy. Rossouw says the Covid19 ICU has 14 patients and is fully occupied. “Covid-19 admissions at our hospital are rapidly increasing.

The Covid-19 wards are under pressure and have a high volume of admissions, he says. Rossouw says hospitals in Bloemfontein are working together to ease the pressures and accommodate Covid-19 patients who are in need. “The availability of Covid-19 beds is limited but we are mostly able to cope with the demand.

“We have taken key learnings from previous waves of infections to further strengthen our internal protocols.

All facility hospital management teams continue to work closely with our local doctor Covid-19 committees who provide guidance in clinical decisions.” Rossouw says although the Covid-19 ICU is under pressure, they are monitoring the situation according to protocols and severity of cases. “Our preparedness for the third wave of infections is aligned to those of the second wave where the Life Healthcare Group shifted from central decision-making to hospital-level decision-making as they were affected at different times, Rossouw says. However, some healthcare workers on the frontline have a different story to tell. “Nurses are under extreme pressure in these Covid-19 wards. Their lives are at risk. We are still facing the same problems that we faced during the first and second waves,” says President of the Young Nurses Indaba Trade Union Lerato Mthunzi.

“We work with limited equipment; we work with… (continue on Page 9)

Dit is duidelik uit ‘n parlementêre antwoord vanaf die Minister van Justisie en Korrektiewe Dienste op ‘n vraag van mnr. James Selfe DA-LP dat ons boere weerloos deur ons strafregstelsel gelaat is. Die Minister het aangedui dat een van die beskuldigdes in die Frankfort aanval op Mnr Gert Terblanche op Maandag 3 Mei 2021 tydens die moord op vroeë parool was. Twee mans, Samuel en Meshack Tsotetsi, is in 2005 aan die grusame moord op die Smith gesin van Heilbron skuldig bevind en is 35 jaar tronkstraf toegedien. Hulle moes tot 2040 in aanhouding gebly het, maar is slegs 14 jaar later, in 2019, op parool vrygelaat. Volgens die Minister se antwoord, was die paroolbeleid wat... (vervolg op Bladsy 10)

COVID-19 NEWS – COVID-19 NEWS – COVID-19 NEWS – COVID-19 NEWS – COVID-19 NEWS – COVID-19 NEWS (from Page 6) …limited resources and there are not enough staff members. We find ourselves in a high-risk situation facing the same challenges that we have been facing since the outbreak of this pandemic. “Our main challenges as health care practitioners are firstly poor infrastructure. The outbreak of this virus has not birthed new wards, new intensive care units, or even new hospitals.

We are now creating the legacy of placing patients in tents and field hospitals. This is totally unacceptable,” she says. Mthunzi says staff shortages and limited resources are big challenges. “When we talk of resources, we talk about the basic PPEs. There are not enough oxygen points for patients. Our members who work at hospitals such as Pelonomi Hospital in Bloemfontein, Universitas, and Bongani Hospital are working with little equipment. I am not saying the department is not trying but the demand in cases is putting pressure on the system.”

According to her, many health care workers are still not vaccinated. According to Department of Health statistics, so far there are 24 186 health care workers vaccinated out of a total of 30 000 in the province. Mthunzi says this can make hospitals super-spreaders of Covid-19. “It is not the social gatherings, and it is not the churches. It is the hospitals that are the super-spreaders of this virus because even the simple screening process when you go to different hospitals is not consistent. We work with Covid-19 patients but [the] majority of us are not vaccinated and we do not have enough PPEs. “So how are we going to beat this pandemic if the frontliners especially those working in close contact and are taking care of Covid-19 patients work under such terrible conditions?” Free State Chairperson for Health and Other Services

Personnel Trade Union of South-Africa (Hospersa) Peggy Motlokoa, who is also a nurse in the Covid19 ward at Reitz Hospital in the Thabo Mofutsanyana District says the main challenges nurses are facing in Covid-19 wards are staff shortages. “As nurses, we are burdened. The statistics are increasing, but the number of nurses is not increasing and that is really a big problem.

There are many nurses who are unemployed and retired who can be employed so that we are not under so much pressure. "Currently, at the hospital, I am working in, it is one nurse [for] four patients. Being burdened with too many patients is affecting us emotionally, physically, and psychologically,” says Motlokoa. As a nurse working in the Covid-19 ward, Motoloa says, “sometimes I get anxious because we are scared that we will take the virus home and infect our children. Even though we are vaccinated, some people are still getting infected with Covid-19. So, this means that the vaccine is not 100% safe.”

While Motoloa says she “commends government for making sure that there are enough PPEs in hospitals in the eastern parts of the province,” elsewhere in Bloemfontein another healthcare worker bemoans the lack of PPE and staff. The healthcare worker at Pelonomi Hospital that Spotlight spoke to, wants to remain anonymous.

“Isolation in a Covid-ward is a scary place to work in and the fact that there is a shortage of staff is not making life easy for us. People die in there and we are stressed. Working in the Covid-19 ward is a [totally] new experience. It is a very scary environment so we just wish the employer can consider increasing staff members so that our anxiety levels can decrease.” Meanwhile, as pressure builds on hospitals amid increasing

infections, the provincial health department struggles to get people 60 years and older to register for vaccination on the government’s electronic vaccine data system (EVDS). At the start of the second phase of the country’s vaccination rollout on 17 May, the Free State set itself the target of vaccinating 288 220 people eligible in this phase. But official statistics show that by 16 June, the Free State Department of Health has only registered 161 077 people, which includes 120 921 people 60 years and older, and 40 156 health workers. Only 105 469 people have been vaccinated to date of which 81 253 received the Pfizer first dose in the province. Meanwhile, the provincial health department teamed up with the South African Red Cross Society (SARCS) and UNICEF for an educational Covid-19 tour aimed at getting more people to register for vaccination.

Communications officer for SARCS in the Free State Mojalefa Rabolinyane says during a weeklong visit, the UNICEF truck visited towns including Botshabelo, Welkom, and Sasolburg. “This tour is to educate people about the importance of getting vaccinated. We will be traveling to all the districts of the Free State to ensure that people know and understand why they need to register for vaccination. "During this tour, we are also targeting the youth as we know that they are the ones who are best suitable to help their grandparents with registrations,” Mojalefa says the turnout has been good so far. Mvambi says, “We know that our elderly people do not access information and technology easily, they need to be assisted. So, it is our responsibility to ensure that they access information and also act upon it. We want them to register and we also want them to vaccinate,” he says.

SA Boere kry absoluut GEEN beskerming van regering ...destyds in werking was dat ‘n persoon slegs een-derde van sy vonnis moes uitdien voordat hy vir parool oorweeg kon word. Die beleid is eers in Oktober 2004, dat een helfte van die vonnis uitgedien moet word, verander. Die moorde is in Junie 2003 gepleeg. Die Minister noem ook in sy antwoord dat ander faktore wat oorweeg moet word, is positiewe gedrag tydens aanhouding, of die persoon gerehabiliteer is, dat hy geen risiko vir die gemeenskap inhou nie, en of die persoon ‘n ondersteuningstelsel na vrylating het.

Die parool voorwaardes, wat deur die aangehoudene aanvaar moet word, sluit in, aanhouding in sy huis, gemeenskapsdiens, dat hy werk soek, dat hy net in een landrosdistrik (vanaf Bladsy 8)

beweeg, dat hy by ‘n vaste adres bly, dat geen alkohol gebruik mag word nie, en dat geen verdere kriminele dade gepleeg word nie. Die persoon moet ook na vrylating gemonitor word. Die Minister het ook bevestig dat Mnr Samuel Tsotetsi reeds op 12 Mei, in die Frankfort Landroshof op ‘n aanklag van roof met verswarende omstandighede verskyn het. Hy het nie borgtog ontvang nie. Dit is duidelik dat in die geval van Mnr Tsotetsi daar weinig monitering plaasgevind het, en dat hy duidelik ook deurentyd ‘n bedreiging vir die gemeenskap was. Hierdie is ‘n duidelike mislukking van die strafregstelsel, en dra daartoe by dat gemeenskappe aan kriminele uitgelewer word. Die Demokratiese

Alliansie het ook met afgryse verneem dat nog ‘n plaasbestuurder, mnr. Henk Burgers, Saterdagaand in Vrede wreed vermoor is, en dat sy huur-huis uitgebrand is. Dit is ten spyte daarvan dat die Gemeenskaps Polisiërings Forum bewus was dat hy voorheen geteiken is. Dit is onaanvaarbaar dat geweldadige kriminele op gemeenskappe losgelaat word om hulle brutale dade voort te sit en gemeenskappe te terroriseer.

Die Demokratiese Alliansie sal voortgaan om antwoorde namens ons boere vanaf die regering te eis. Ons boere word aan kriminaliteit uitgelewer, maar is ook slagoffers van ‘n gebrekkige strafregstelsel. Deur: Leona Kleynhans LPW – DA-lid van die Vrystaatse Wetgewer

Uit die hart van Eva

IEC: We don't yet know if upcoming local elections will be free and fair The IEC made the submission at the inquiry into ensuring free and fair local government elections during COVID-19.

The Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) on Monday said it had not yet made a decision on whether the local government elections would be free and fair. The IEC made the submission at the inquiry into ensuring free and fair local government elections during COVID-19.

The inquiry, headed by former Deputy Chief Justice Dikgang Moseneke, kicked off on Monday in Johannesburg and will this week hear arguments for and against the postponement of the October local polls.

IEC chief electoral officer Sy Mamabolo made the first oral submission as the inquiry kicked off. He said the inquiry was established after concerns about the elections were raised by political parties. “Concerns have been expressed by some parties that the elections this year may not be free and fair given the impact of COVID-19 as well as the measures government has undertaken to curb the spread of the pandemic.” As far as the fairness of the elections was concerned, Mamabolo said the jury was still out. “No such decision has been reached at this point on the side of the commission. We are eagerly awaiting the final report.”

Hoe vier jy jou feesmaal?

Ek word gevra om vir die Rekord te skryf. My vraag was natuurlik eerste waaroor moet ek skryf? Enige iets is die antwoord. Sommer net jou waarnemings en ondervindings. Ek herkou aan die gedagte. Dae sluimer verby en my kop voel leeg!

Goed wat hier rond gebeur is so allerdaags. ‘n Pap wiel as jy laat is, vuil baba doeke en ‘n geyser wat die gees gee. Dit tref my mos sò is die lewe dan ook! Dit is soos ‘n feesmaal! Jy kan aansit en dit vier of jy kan die geleentheid laat verby gaan.

Ek word soms stil en luister na ander om my en kry skaam want ons klink eenders! Ons het ‘n kultuur geskep waar negatiwiteit seëvier. Ons gebreekte woorde strooi ons in die wind en plant so die saadjies weer voort waar dit gunstigheid vind in ‘n ander se mond. Sommer ‘n mens gemaakte ding. Ons kan kla, skop en kerm of ons kan oudag stoepstories versamel waarmee jy jou dae kan vul. Die lekkertes van onthou en die voorreg van keuses! Dit laat my dink aan die gesegde: “Some men die and have never lived!” Lees dit weer en dink gerus oor die waarheid. Is ons nie so besig om te kla en te kerm dat die lewe ons eintlik verby gaan nie? Ons verleer om die humor in situasies raak te sien. Ons dink ‘n ideale lewe is waar alles net voor die wind gaan. Hoe wonderlik vervelig sou dit nie wees nie? Ek persoonlik leef vir die ‘Aha’ oomblikke van die lewe. Die waar jy ‘n nuwe ontdekking maak van iets nuuts wat jy nooit geweet het bestaan nie of nòg beter as jy ‘n nuwe faset ontdek van jou menswees. As groei plaasvind! Dit is wat met elkeen van ons gebeur elke dag oral.

Ons groei. Ons word wyser en leer uit ons foute. Nee, die lewe is ‘n feesmaal! Dit is ‘n kind se arms om jou nek. ‘n Pap band op die onmoontlikste tyd. Die vooruitsig van nuwe seisoene in die natuur en ook ons lewe. Geliefdes wat jou dra as dit soms voel of die lewe jou platslaan. ‘n Ou vriendin wat onverwags bel. Die kuier om ‘n vuur en ja selfs ‘n geyser wat bars! Die lewe deel mos maar aan ons almal uit. Soms goed en soms sleg máár jou geluk sal bepaal word deur jou gesindheid. Nou wonder ek.

Heuningdruppels “Waarom is julle so verskrik en waarom kom daar twyfel in julle harte?” (Luk. 24:38) ’n Twee-in-eenvraag wat Jesus vra. Dit laat my dink dat die antwoorde op dié twee vrae onderling afhanklik is van mekaar. As jy bang en verskrik, bekommerd en angstig, bevrees en onrustig is, is die rede dalk omdat jy twyfel aan die Here se beloftes van voorsiening en beskerming en hulp, omdat die geloof en hoop in jou hart opgeraak het of doodgedruk is deur jou vrees. Aan die ander kant: as daar twyfel in jou hart is en jy nie meer die Here kan raaksien in jou lewe nie, as jy nie glo dat Hy in beheer is en alles ten goede sal laat meewerk nie, gaan bekommernis en vrees jou gedagtes oorheers en jou angstigheid buite beheer raak. As Jesus vandag langs jou kom staan en vra: “waarom is jy so verskrik?”, dan mag en kan en moet jy al jou bekommernisse by Hom kom afpak.

“Werp al julle bekommernisse op Hom, want Hy sorg vir julle.” (1 Pet. 5:7) As Jesus vandag langs jou kom staan en vra: “Waarom is jy so verskrik?”, hoor dan terselfdertyd sy oop uitnodiging wat sê: “Kom na My toe, almal wat uitgeput en oorlaai is en Ek sal julle rus gee.” (Matt. 11:28) As Jesus vandag langs jou kom staan en vra: “Waarom kom daar twyfel in jou hart?”, hoop ek jy sal die twyfel kan uitdoof en met geloof en vertroue sê: “Die Here is my helper, ek ken geen vrees nie.” (Heb. 13:6) ~ Wilna Botha

What is Epilepsy?

Epilepsy is a chronic disorder, the hallmark of which is recurrent, unprovoked seizures. Many people with epilepsy have more than one type of seizure and may have other symptoms of neurological problems as well.

Sometimes EEG testing, clinical history, family history and outlook are similar among a group of people with epilepsy. In these situations, their condition can be defined as a specific epilepsy syndrome.

The human brain is the source of human epilepsy.

Although the symptoms of a seizure may affect any

part of the body, the electrical events that produce the symptoms occur in the brain. The location of that event, how it spreads and how much of the brain is affected, and how long it lasts all have profound effects. These factors determine the character of a seizure and its impact on the individual.

Having seizures and epilepsy also can also affect one's safety, relationships, work, driving and so much more. How epilepsy is perceived or how people are treated (stigma) often is a bigger problem than the seizures. A person is

diagnosed with epilepsy if they have one or more seizures that were not caused by some known and reversible medical condition like alcohol withdrawal or extremely low blood sugar. The seizures in epilepsy may be related to a brain injury or a family tendency, but often the cause is completely unknown. The word "epilepsy" does not indicate anything about the cause of the person's seizures or their severity.

BETWEEN 4 AND 10 OUT OF 1,000: Number of people on earth who live with active seizures at any one time.

Kom ons noem hom Jannie. Jannie is baie dankbaar dat Tannie die familie in nood so gewillig uithelp met kospakkies, vleis en klere. “Kan ek Tannie se nommer kry?”

Tannie gee heel onskuldig die nommer en bied aan haar deur staan enige tyd oop as Jannie oor iets wil kom praat. Halfuur later kry Tannie 'n whatsApp en gelukkig het die nie bestuur nie anders het sy die ou bakkie gerol... 'n Pragtige half naked fototjie met die mooiste boodskappie. En toe weer en weer en later voel Tannie weer soos die mooiste meisie in dorp. Die chats raak langer die foto's het minder klere aan die koffie by tannie al hoe intressanter. Jannie is 43 jaar jonger as Tannie... Maar ouderdom is mos

‘n Blondine van ‘n klein plattelandse dorpie gaan stap ‘n entjie. In die bos sien sy verbaas ‘n valskermspringer wat in hoe bome vassit. ‘Help,’ roep hy toe hy haar sien. ‘Wat maak jy daar?’ vra sy vir hom. ‘Ek was besig met ‘n vryval, maar my valskerm het nie oopgemaak nie,’ antwoord hy. Sy rol haar oë. ‘Natuurlik het dit nie’, vervolg sy, ‘Jy kon enige van die plaaslike mense gevra het. Niks maak hier op ‘n Sondag oop nie.’

net 'n nommer en die skelm liefde blom behoorlik. Jannie wil nie meer net kom koffie drink nie hy wil kom oorslaap en liefde maak.

Of Tannie enigsins getwyfel het weet Klitsie nie maar die volgende aand het onse Adonis met die mooiste lippe die tannie se wêreld behoorlik gerock...

Soveel so toe Tannie die volgende oggend wakker word is Jannie al weg. En sommer met die Tannie se hele sitkamer stel matte en al ook. Tannie dink daar's ingebreek.

Jannie antwoord nie en Tannie panic. Jaag met 'n spoed na Jannie se huis toe. En toe skrik Tannie... Jannie en family het soos mis voor die son verdwyn... die huis is leeg.

Jannie het tannie 'n aand wat sy nooit sal vergeet nie belowe en sy het dit gekry. Sy moes nooit daai koppie koffie na die tyd gedrink het nie! Tannie te skaam om te deel dat sy met 'n slap (of stywe?) riem gevang is weier om enige iets verder te doen as om 'n nuwe sitkamerstel en TV by Lewis te loop staan koop... Ergste die hele familie is in op dit wat Jannie doen! Klitsie kan nie help om te wonder waar Jannie nou is nie en wie meubels moet gaan koop nie...
