Zumba for a good cause Zumba enthusiasts joined Cindy Abrahams, a professional Zumba instructor from Bergvliet, for an hour-long Zumbathon in aid of the upgrade and expansion of the emergency centre at the Red Cross War Memorial Children’s Hospital on Saturday 26 October. Participants paid R30 each to practice their dance moves from 08:30 onwards, at an open field at the hospital in Rondebosch. The annual event, organised by the Children’s Hospital Trust, raised R4 200. The Children’s Hospital Trust thanks the public who attended for their support.

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 hospi-

OPTOMETRIST

tal. 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 recon-

structive 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.

JP21 MP TITANS RACE

Race ready for young and old

of the Durban Road Action Group (DRAG).

For the past 20 years, DRAG, together with the Rosebank and Mowbray Civic Association (RMCA), has been campaigning to have the area, stretching from the historic horse fountain to the Liesbeek River, re-developed.

Hobday says changes to the City’s Comprehensive Integrated Transport Plan, which at one point called for the widening of Durban Road, have led to the decline of Little Mowbray. Many of the adjacent properties, which were bought by the City under compulsory purchase years ago, stand empty today. Hobday feels the whole area needs a rethink.

Creating extra parking is one measure which, Hobday believes, would change things for the better. He says if some of the empty City-owned lots could be used for parking it would immediately boost business.

Another suggestion, expected to bring feet to the area, is to link the pedestrian and cycle track around Rondebosch Common with the Liesbeek river trail by widening Durban Road to include cycle and running lanes. For this to work, traffic calming measures will be needed. The group’s plans include an upgrade of the horse fountain at the intersection of Durban and Campground roads into what it calls “Fountain Square” (People’s Post, “Fountain desperate for attention”, 16 July). “We would like to have the historic horse fountain restored and resited about three to five metres back to prevent it from getting damaged by passing trucks,” he says.

FROM PAGE 1 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

The 2019 JP21 MP Titans race looks forward to welcoming more than 3 000 avid runners from across the country when they lace up their trainers at the start line on Saturday 23 November. The race encourages young and old to join in the celebration of culture and fitness through the streets of Rocklands. The 21.1km, 10km and 5km races start at Glendale High School between 06:00 and 07:30. To enter, visit Webtickets.co.za. Online entries close Sunday 17 November.

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 generates,” 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 included cleft palate repair for three the children, V For more info, call 011 325 6480, visit www.smilefoundation.co.za or email info @smilefoundation.org.

Hair, hair for Movember month S

ome 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. “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 percep-

tion 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.

Fritz asks for CPF elections green light The provincial minister of community safety, Albert Fritz, is appealing to the acting provincial commissioner, Sindile Mfazi, to immediately revoke the instruction to station commanders that community policing forum (CPF) elections should not go ahead. This follows the deputy provincial commissioner, major general Mpumelelo Manci, and the provincial electoral officer, Reverend Courtney Sampson, officially pledging their support to the directives on Thursday 5 September. The signing of the directives marked the official beginning of the CPF elections to be held at annual general meetings across the province between September and December this year.

Fritz said: “As a result of the direct instruction given to all SAPS station commanders, by the acting provincial commissioner, namely that they ‘should not proceed with elective AGMs’, the department of community safety cannot continue to officiate over such AGMs until the instruction is withdrawn (Police Letter under reference 26/3/5/2 dated 29 October 2019). “The message sent to CPFs stating that the department is withdrawing its support of CPFs, is untrue and an attempt to divide the department from CPFs at the station level. The department’s decision to withdraw from AGM’s is temporary and only in response to the instruction given by the acting provincial commissioner,” says Fritz. “The department has requested, at the highest levels, that the police leadership urgently find an amicable solution. CPFs are, bylaw, required to be ‘inclusive’ of all legitimate community structures. It is unfortunate that the dysfunctionality of a few CPF structures has now impacted on all other CPFs.” The department remains committed to facilitating and overseeing successful CPF elections throughout the province.

HOUSING

Residents unite in protest NETTALIE VILJOEN

T

tion uses a cross-subsidisation model to keep some rentals down. It has no shareholders and surplus funds are ploughed back into the organisation. It combines the state’s capital grants and subsidies with surpluses from its commercially-viable residential property activities to finance the development of new social rentals. At present only two of its properties are classified as social housing developments: Gardens in Bothasig and Drommedaris in Brooklyn.

In May last year Communicare established the private company GoodFind Properties to manage all units that are rented out at close to market rates. A process was started to transfer the management, leasing and tenant engagement of some of its properties to GoodFind.

Communicare CEO, Anthea Houston “Communicare explains”, People’s Post, 12 November 2018), has said that “any surpluses made by GoodFind Properties will be used by Communicare to add more units and to cross-subsidise our discounted rentals which we will also market under distinct

brands”.

Since the transfers, some tenants have complained of increases in rent and utility services.

Demands handed over at the People’s Street Assembly included a request for the MEC of Housing Settlements’ intervention to resolve outstanding rental tribunal cases; an investigation into alleged inefficiencies at the tribunal; the expropriation of Communicare property and land; a halt to the Welverdiend demolition; for title deeds and homeownership to be awarded to current tenants and the scrapping of all rent arrears. . It was reported Welverdiend tenants were given six month’s notice to vacate apartments (“We won’t go, says residents’ forum”, People’s Post, 29 October). Communicare, however, has committed to giving tenants six months’ notice to vacate, prior to the building being demolished. The application for demolition is still in process. No date has been set for demolition. As yet, no tenant has been issued with a formal notice to vacate. People’s Post regrets the error.

he People’s Street Assembly on Social Housing, consisting of Communicare tenants gathered outside the provincial legislature in Wale Street, Cape Town, on Friday 25 October to hand over a memorandum to the provincial minister Human Settlements, Tertius Simmers.

The group were from Communicare units in Rondebosch, Brooklyn, Ruyterwacht and Thornton.

Simmers was delivering his annual report for 2018/19 to an oversight committee.

During the meeting, Simmers said the policy of the province was that pensioners of social housing were not allowed to pay more than 30% of their income towards rent and that social housing rentals could not be market-related. Asked for clarity, the department said residents “often use the term ‘social housing’ incorrectly.”

“All tenants (including the elderly) within a social housing development enter into a lease agreement, which will stipulate annual rental increases. The respective lease agreement of any tenant will thus reflect the annual increase.”

Marcellino Martin, spokesperson for Simmers, said they would respond to the memorandum.

“We’ve committed to responding within seven days for further engagement and to seek clarity,” said Martin.

Neville Petersen, spokesperson for the Communicare Tenant Beneficiaries, said they wanted to lodge a grievance with the Western Cape Rental Housing Tribunal in Wale Street, however the office was closed.

“We’ve been informed they are having a sport’s day. This is unacceptable. As taxpaying members of society, we should have the right to lodge our complaints. No-one should have the right to shut down government services for pleasure,” said Petersen.

Karabo Makgoane, acting chairman of Welverdiend Residence Forum, said tenants spent their meagre income to travel to the city to lodge their complaints, which included the possible demolition of Welverdiend, a Communicare-owned property, at Rouwkoop Avenue, Rondebosch.

Communicare provides rental housing to a range of tenants including a portfolio of social rentals (properties rented at dis- People’s Street Assembly on Social Housing made up of Communicare tenants outside the counted rates). The non-profit organisa- provincial legislature on Friday 25 October.

Help APPrehend criminals Members of the public can now report anonymous crime tips through the new My Saps mobile app.

The police, in partnership with Vodacom, have officially launched the app which allows users access to several features.

These include the submission of crime tipoffs anonymously through the app, locating the nearest police station or vulnerable services facilities and sending emergency messages when in danger.

To access the platform, users need to first register and create a profile. Once this has been done, a directory of police stations and nearby social service facilities is provided.

When a tip-off is given using the app, users are given the option to report the crime anon-

ymously. They are required to identify the type of incident and supply details of the event, suspect information, as well as any other information that can assist the police.

The information will be used to assist the police in creating a profile on alleged suspects.

Users are provided with a reference number and the ability to supply further information about the crime or to follow up on the police’s progress.

Victims of crime are still required to register a case at a police station for investigation and insurance claims.

V The app is available for smartphones from the Google Play Store and Apple App Store. Feature phone users can also use the USSD string *134*10111# to access the crime tip-off line.

CENTER STAGE TALENT SEARCH

Music school learner set to rock overseas A

16-year-old pupil from Cape Town’s School of Rock will jet off to America next week for a musical opportunity of a lifetime.

Gabriela Webb has been chosen as part of the international School of Rock’s Center Stage talent search and will perform in front of Atlantic Records executives at a private artist showcase in Los Angeles.

Gabi, who attends Cedar House High School, submitted a five-minute audition video of her performing an original song called Empty Eyes, which secured her spot as one of 20 teenagers flown to Los Angeles to record songs at the Artist Partnership Group studios.

She will perform two originals songs in Los Angeles on Sunday 10 November The Noordhoek resident says being chosen to represent South Africa is a great privilege but it came as a bit of a shock.

“This is something I never expected I would be doing. I am in absolute awe that I have been given this opportunity. As the only SA teen, I hope to carry the confidence and love I have experienced from my years living here,” Gabi says.

Growing up, Gabi’s energy was spent on gymnastics, and she competed at provincial level. There were signs that she had a flair for writing when Gabi won some awards for English.

Even though she has been writing songs since the age of four, (she mentions a song she wrote about yoghurt), she can’t recall exactly when she made up her mind about making music a career.

“I do remember a time when I had performed one of my original songs at a restaurant and later that evening a woman came up to me, half tearful, and told me that my song made her feel something special. I will be forever grateful for that comment, as that is the dream with music. I want people to feel my music; for my music to connect people,” Gabi says.

Born in Johannesburg to a rock-loving Brazilian mother (Lili Whiteman) and a South African drummer father (Gavin Webb), Gabi has lived all over the world and has been playing music for as long as she can remember.

Gavin says music has always been a family passion. “I feel eternally blessed that Gabi has taken up the soul of music which gives us the ability to express our emotions and connect unconditionally. I look forward to her sharing that joy with the world and I will always be her biggest fan,” he says.

Leigh Spaun, School of Rock Claremont marketing director and co-owner, says even though Gabi has only been at School of Rock since June, it feels much longer.

“Gabi arrived with this amazing talent and we were excited to nurture this talent and guide her on her musical journey. Fifteen of our students entered the talent search and to have one of our students be selected out of 1 000s of entries globally is remarkable. We do not doubt that Gabi will shine throughout this process,” says Spaun.

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/#/ ).
