WATERFRONT

Men to show off curves NOMZAMO YUKU @NomzamoYuku

P

lus-size men are invited to a #PlusIs Equal casting show – the first of its kind – taking place at The Radisson Red Hotel at the V&A Waterfront on Saturday 9 November.

Casting will be from 10:00 to 12:00, followed by the deliberations from 12:00 to 14:00.

The event aims to raise awareness and inspire bigger men to be comfortable and confident in their bodies.

Leonie Andereya, a curator at the hotel, says: “We see this as not only an opportunity to create awareness around representation and equality but to also potentially launch or further someone’s career. If it’s not a modelling career one is after, then it’s the chance to be heard and make history. Every voice counts.”

Andereya explains that there is no specific entry criteria. All over 18s are welcome and there is also no height restriction.

She says it is open to any gentleman who is full-bodied, full-figured or considered larger.

“The campaign is looking for real men.

They can arrive dressed in anything they feel comfortable in and no headshots or portfolio shots are required,” says Andereya.

Twelve of the participating men will get a chance to model a new plus-size men’s range designed by a secret designer.

Jade Campbell, a fashion designer and an advocate for plus-size men, says this is an attempt to close the gap on how plus-size women are portrayed and catered for in comparison to men. He says men need their voices to be heard and to be represented in the market.

Campbell says that he was once 28kg overweight and felt frustrated every time he went shopping. He loved fashion but could not find anything to his taste. Campbell learned to be proud of his body and to have a positive mindset. He then scored a rare gig to be a plus-size model and never looked back. As an advocate for plus-size men, his favourite inspirational line is: “If you look good, you feel good.”

He says there are opportunities for men to get recognised.

From left are Branagan Fingo, TJ Ngoma, Jason-Jon Haskin, Edó Mostert, and seated is Jade Campbell.

“We are not seen, nobody sees us. The focus is on women and as men, we need to get the message across,” he says.

TJ Ngoma, actor and body positivity advocate, says there is still a lot that needs to be done to create awareness and build a confident, plus-sized male society. He says even the #PlusIsEqual campaign is mostly supported by women.

Sharing his personal story, Ngoma says he has always been bigger than his peers.

“For example, at the age of nine, I was already wearing a size 13 to 14 years’ clothes.

My journey was an up and down one until I got tired and started doing something to change the way I think,” says Ngoma.

He says changing your mindset is a big step. For him, it is not about health, but rath-

er body positivity and self-respect.

“Be the change you want to see, start sharing your images or those of other ordinary men instead of models. By doing so, people will start to admire and respect us for who we are.”

The service offers free internet access at various libraries to registered users.

In the last instance, cable theft left users without access to the service for more than a year in Lwandle.

Mayco member for community services and health, Zahid Badroodien says the library and information service is trying to find alternative means of securing internet connectivity through a partnership with the City’s information services and technology department. “But in many cases, we rely on third-party service providers like Telkom who are also grappling with continued theft, to the point of not wanting to replace stolen infrastructure in some cases,” Badroodien says.

Despite these challenges, the City continues to increase SmartCape access at libraries. “We have received 123 additional computers from the Western Cape provincial library services for installation at 22 of our libraries. However, the installation at 14 libraries was delayed as a result of either vandalism or theft.

Libraries are also battling other forms of vandalism and theft. According to Badroodien, since January, there were 58 insurance claims for incidents at 30 libraries, totalling nearly R578 000. Badroodien says the City calls on communities for help by reporting any theft.

CULTURE

Visitors admire historic Bo-Kaap NOMZAMO YUKU @NomzamoYuku

A

group of 25 people joined a Culture Connect tour of Bo-Kaap to explore and learn about local history as part of Open Design Afrika’s festival.

Tour organiser, Kate Crane Briggs said participants included residents and two overseas entrepreneurs keen to explore the historic area.

The festival covered large parts of the CBD, with the Good Hope Centre being a focal point. The festival

started on Friday 18 October and ended on Sunday 27 October. It raised awareness about technology.

Innovators, social entrepreneurs and software developers showcased their work during the festival.

The guided walk in Bo-Kaap was led by architect and lecturer at the University of Cape Town (UCT), Sadiq Toffa.

Culture Connect has two open tours a month, other tours are customised to suit the needs of visitors.

The tour to Bo-Kaap focused on the neighbourhood’s rich history from the days of slavery and apart-

heid’s social engineering to gentrification which has seen residents battle to retain the community’s historic character.

“Building new Bo-Kaap friends and ambassadors, increasing knowledge and appreciation about its special architecture and heritage was our aim. Also seeing the colourful, varied buildings and understanding more about them, including why they are painted in so many bright colours. We also had lunch together,” Kate adds.

CAPE TOWN

Dedication keeps Carl going NOMZAMO YUKU @NomzamoYuku

P

atience paid off for a former WO CarlHein Smith of the Cape Town Central police station.

Smith waited 25 years to get a promotion and he is finally at his happiest now that he joined the Bishop Lavis police station as a Capt, to lead the crime information management centre unit (Cimac). He started on Friday 1 November.

Smith has served as a WO for many years, working hard to combat crime, leading the Cimac across the city. For several years, Smith says he had been applying for a senior post with no luck.

That did not discourage him from being a dedicated officer going the extra mile to bring criminals to book. Despite his post focussing on gathering, compiling and distributing accurate information and crime statistics to police management, he still helped to make arrests and testified in court when necessary. He finds satisfaction in arresting, getting convictions and knowing justice is served.

In his new post in Bishop Lavis, he intends to do exactly that.

Capt Carl-Hein Smith

Smith says the previous post limited him as there was a lack of manpower at the station. “When I started, we were eight members and there are only three of us remaining, covering a wide area where so much is happening,” he says.

Smith looks forward to fighting gangster-

ism and drug dealings in his new precinct.

However, he admits that it is not going to be easy, but with his experience in the force, he hopes he will make a difference.

Smith confesses the journey, since day one in the police starting from January 1985, has not been smooth.

It is only dedication, faith and eagerness to bring justice to the people that kept him going. Smith says it was his childhood dream to become a police officer.

“Growing up as a boy, I feared the police until I saw what they did for the people and that they were seen as heroes,” Smith says.

He started as a student constable and wormed his way up the ranks.

He says joining the police was not just a job, but a calling.

When Smith is not at work, he is an outdoors person, hiking, cycling and camping as well as spending time with his family.

Cape Town Central police spokesperson, Captain Ezra October, congratulated Smith, saying he has played a huge role at the station and the community at large.

October says Smith worked even beyond their precinct, helping to fight crime in areas like Delft, Belhar and Bellville – working long hours without complaining.

Footballer aims to shine overseas NOMZAMO YUKU @NomzamoYuku If you are not sure what killing two birds with one stone means, ask Bo-Kaap’s 14year-old who has been selected to participate in two tournaments overseas next year. Mogammed Ri-aaz Higgins, a Grade 7 learner at Erica Primary School, has been selected to take part in the Spanish Victory Cup in Spain, from Friday 10 to Sunday 12 April. He will then take part in the Players Cup Tournament in Mississippi in the United States of America on Saturday 25 and Sunday 26 April.

He is a striker for Bo-Kaap Football Club. Mogammed says he was identified by the Coach Me Too organisation to compete in the Spanish Cup after his excellent performance at the Rygate Board Games u-.14 Inter-Provincial Local Football Association (LFA).

His team had also won a Basil Palanyandi Inter-LFA u.14 tournament. He says soccer is his passion and going to play overseas would be a dream come true.

He hopes to become the best striker and play for an international club one day.

“Being selected to play in an international arena is a great opportunity for me.

As a young person it will help me develop within the game and get a chance to play against different footballing styles from

around the world. This trip will give me the chance to experience life beyond the Cape Flats and the opportunity to experience growth and start to pave the road to my future,” says Mogammed.

He is excited about boarding a plane for the first time and competing with kids his own age from around the world.

His excitement got him to start practising already, almost every day, and he hopes to participate in local tournaments.

However, he says he will not let his love for soccer interfere with his academics.

He says: “Education is very important to me. Without proper schooling I won’t develop mentally; the school will equip me with the skills I need to succeed. As for soccer, I can only be the best if I practise and put my best forward.”

Mogammed needs a total of R44 784 to make both trips a reality, and appeals to anyone who may help to donate towards his dream. The fee excludes kit, meals and pocket money for each trip. He has so far received R8 000 in donations.

He and his six other family members depend on the single income of his mother, Shehaam Fredericks.

Fredericks explains: “I am a full-time worker and the only one working in the household. I cannot afford to pay for both tournaments. I believe that Mogammed has been given a great opportunity. Thus,

Mogammed Ri-aaz Higgins I am asking for help from the community to help me get Mogammed to the tournaments.”

Hair, hair for Movember month Some of our male friends, family members or work colleagues may start to look a little less well-groomed than usual, this being the fifth day of Movember.

But not to worry. The progressively growing facial hair is all for a good cause: to raise awareness about and to tackle men’s health issues.

Currently, men in South Africa have a life expectancy that is seven years shorter than that of women.

“Men are facing a health crisis that isn’t being talked about. We have to make a stand and stop men dying too young, before their time,” says Garron Gsell, chief executive and founder of the Men’s Foundation, which manages the Movember campaign in South Africa under license from the Global Movember Foundation.

In SA, prostate cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in men, while male suicide accounts for approximately 18 deaths a day.

“We have a long way to go until no man

dies of these diseases. Our sons, partners, fathers, brothers and friends are facing these challenges and we need your help,” says Gsell.

The City of Cape Town’s health department joins the call for men to prioritise their health and seek help earlier rather than later.

Mayco member for community services and health, Zahid Badroodien says historically men account for the smallest percentage of clients to public healthcare facilities.

“The reasons are many and complicated, but key among them is a widely held perception that seeking help is somehow a sign of weakness,” says Badroodien.

“City Health and its partners have done a lot of good work to overcome these barriers to entry, and it is starting to show in the statistical indicators.”

The interventions include the piloting of male-only clinics and an increase in education and awareness efforts in general.

The number of men testing and receiving treatment for sexually transmitted illnesses (STIs) has seen an encouraging increase over the past two years, from an average of just over 1 000 cases a month in July 2017, to an average of nearly 2 500 cases a month in May 2019. However, Badroodien cautions that men’s health is not sexual health alone.

“There are also many non-communicable disease challenges that we face as a city, and as a country, like hypertension, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and mental health,” he says.

City health offers free blood pressure and blood glucose screening at all of its facilities, along with tuberculosis screening and treatment, and HIV counselling, testing and treatment (HCT).“My challenge to men this Movember and beyond is to reach out to their nearest public health facility and use the testing and treatment options available,” says Badroodien.

SMILE WEEK

Patients have reason to smile NETTALIE VILJOEN

T

he daily debate in the office over the aircon’s ideal setting is something most can identify with, unless you are part of a burns and acute care surgery team. When operating on burn patients, the temperature has to be set at up to 35 ºC. Dr Gary Dos Passos, head of the burns unit at Red Cross War Memorial Children’s Hospital, explains: “Patients with significant burns are prone to hypothermia. Their body temperature can drop within minutes. And the smaller the body, the more rapid the decline in body heat.”

People’s Post spoke to the surgeon at a media briefing during the launch of Smile Week which ran from 28 to 31 October at the hospital. The event is a partnership between the Smile Foundation and South African pharmaceutical company, Adcock Ingram, to – in cooperation with the country’s academic

hospitals – “put the smile back on children’s faces” with corrective facial reconstructive surgery and treatments.

Starting last Monday, Dos Passos and Dr Saleigh Adams, head of plastic and reconstructive surgery at the hospital, performed life-changing surgery on 10 children. Five of them were burn victims.

South Africa, because of a variety of socioeconomic factors, has a high occurrence of serious injuries due to burning.

Theatre time is one of the major challenges at the moment. Consequently, life-saving procedures are prioritised while secondary surgeries are deferred to long waiting lists.

Dos Passos says initiatives like Smile Week play an invaluable role in alleviating the cost of expensive surgeries that greatly improve the quality of patients’ lives. The exposure also helps the public understand how big the problem is.

“Advanced burn dressing is expensive.

Theatre time is expensive. Burn patients also have to spend a fair amount of time in ICU after surgery. That too is expensive,” says Dos Passos.

Something else few realise is how physically taxing the treatment of burn patients can be. Besides the high temperature in operating rooms, patients also have to be picked up and moved to access and treat the various parts of the body that suffered burn wounds.

Combine that with the hours spent in surgery (about 15 hours in a good week) plus the psychological strain and it is easy to understand why burn surgeons, especially, are warned to guard against burnout.

Dos Passos is quick to point out, however, that working with burn patients is also incredibly rewarding.

At the Red Cross War Memorial Children’s Hospital, a child with burns over 40% of his or her body has an 80 to 90% chance of survival, where elsewhere in the country his or her chance is much less.

“When you see patients with injuries that in other parts of the continent would most likely have meant a death sentence, and you can help them heal and go home . . .

I can’t describe the positive emotion it gen-

erates,” he says.

Chrissie, a 10-year-old boy with severe burns, was one of the patients who received surgery last week. He sustained burn wounds to 44% of his body including his chest, back, arms and head in 2017 while playing outside in the backyard of his home in Mpumalanga.

Moira Gerszt, the operations director of the Smile Foundation, says the NPO is excited to be playing a key role in Chrissie’s burn recovery.

“We aim to assist as many children in need as possible. Smile Foundation’s partnership with Adcock Ingram dates back to 2010, and thanks to their support, we have been able to make a major difference in the lives of many children. We are also grateful to the doctors and staff at the Red Cross War Memorial Children’s Hospital for providing the infrastructure, expertise and treatment required for these surgeries,” she says.

Other surgeries performed last week included cleft palate repair for three of the children, including a 10-month-old baby, tissue expansion in the leg and scalp, lip revision, corrective septorhinoplasty, and skin and fat grafts.

Local engines to also rev at WRX L

ocal rallycross drivers will step onto the world stage in a big way when they take part in the South African leg of the World Rallycross at Killarney International Raceway on Saturday 9 and Sunday 10 November in two fullyfledged support classes for the first time.

There will be races for conventional 2F front wheel-drive rally and rallycross cars, as well as for the high-revving ‘big sixes’ of the E36 Cup – 3F rear wheel-drive BMW 3-Series luxury sedan dating from the late 1990s which enjoy a cult following among South African petrolheads.

Each class will compete in two qualifying races of four laps for five cars on Saturday 9 November and one on Sunday morning, 10 November, in front of thousands of local and visiting enthusiasts.

The top six cars from qualifying in each class will then go through to a six-lap final on Sunday.

The World Rallycross and second-tier RX2 class cars, however, are all four-wheel-drive, while local competitors have either front or rear wheel-drive, depending on

their class.

This means that the techniques of driving on the 60% tar, 40% gravel circuit will be very different from each other, as well as from the World Rallycross competitors – possibly resulting in some unconventional racing lines, particularly in the dirt sections.

Having home-town heroes taking part in this world championship event at Killarney International Raceway will give local motorsport fans even more to cheer for.

Now in its fifth season, the FIA World Rallycross Championship sees superstar drivers racing 400kW RX Supercars capable of 0-100km/h in under two seconds, competing in short, sharp races on mixed dirt and asphalt surfaces in amphitheatre venues.

V Tickets and packages are available through Quicket ( https://www.quicket.co.za/events/70540-fia-world-rallycross-of-south-africa/#/ ).
