t was all good, clean fun last weekend at the inaugural Chariots of Fire car and bike-wash fundraiser – a collaboration to raise funds for kids’ school shoes.

Hosted at Marcus Carwash in Grassy Park, the fundraiser was organised by Chariots of Fire Biking Ministry who aim to raise enough money to buy a pair of school shoes for each of the 800 learners at the three primary schools in Zoar.

Zoar, 21km east of Ladismith, is just

49.1km² in size with a population of almost 4 700 people as of the last census in 2011.

The biking ministry began providing support to the community after one of their members passed through the town on holiday and recognised a need.

Albert Coopstad, a member who visited Zoar last year during the ministry’s first outreach efforts, said the community has no employment opportunities for residents.

“Driving through it, you get that impoverished community feel. There is a whole lot of potential and there is a whole lot of hope, and that needs to be nurtured and harvested.

If there’s no investment in the kids then the community as a whole will fall.”

In hopes of empowering the children to aim for brighter futures, the ministry reached out to Labeed Marcus, the owner of Marcus Hardware and Carwash, to assist in raising the funds needed to reach their goal.

Steven Willems of Chariots of Fire explained: “We’re using his facility and he’s giving us a portion of whatever’s happening here today.”

Marcus added: “It’s for Zoar. They approached me and told me they want to donate school shoes for underprivileged school

“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 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.

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 socio-economic 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 Chrissie with his mother, Rebecca. The 10-year-old was one of 10 children who were operated country his or her chance is much less. on during Smile Week at Red Cross War Memorial Children’s Hospital.

Happy ending for Retreat family AVRIL FILLIES

T

he 15 month wait for Retreat resident Jolyn Hewitson and her family to have her deceased brother’s name added onto a plaque commemorating his departure is over.

She confirms that a photograph was sent through WhatsApp from Gloria Memorial cemetery bearing the picture of her brother’s name on the plaque.

Conflict ensued following an incident of alleged vandalism early last year at the Gloria Memorial Park in Ottery, where cremation memorial plaques were damaged by vandals.

“My late brother Cedric Isaac Davids’ ashes were kept in a niche at the Gloria Memorial cemetery in Ottery,” Hewitson laments.

“About 18 months ago, when we visited the cemetery, we discovered that the plaques were blank.”

According to Hewitson, she and her sisters followed up with the park’s official, confirming that although a plaque has been erected, their brother’s name remained excluded.

“A-year-and-a-half is long to just put a name on,” says Hewitson on her plight for

closure on her brother’s behalf.

“It’s no fault of theirs, and I do understand,” Hewitson says, regarding the vandalism. “But it’s a-year-and-a-half later, when there are names already on the plaque?”

According to Hewitson at first the memorial park official was waiting for more families to come forward. Upon a recent followup, she was told that the plaque was being amended, and that she would be provided with pictures to corroborate her brother’s name being added.

Hewitson had yet to receive picture confirmation on Wednesday 30 October, when People’s Post contacted Glory Memorial Park for a comment, speaking to Elvita Levendal.

“It is being placed on the plaque today,” Levendal said six days after proferring the same information to Hewitson six days earlier.

“She can come check tomorrow any time, it will be there,” Levendal said on the day, citing a broken phone as the reason why a picture will be difficult to provide.

Hewitson received picture confirmation of her brother’s inclusion on the plaque at last on Thursday 31 October.

Three of the sisters of the deceased in the cemetery are from left: Jolyn Hewitson, Hazel Pitts (sitting) and Una Oxche.

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 tip-offs 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 will be provided.

When a tip-off is given using the app, users are given the op-

tion to report the crime anonymously.

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.

PARKS AND RECREATION

Beaches receive Blue Flag status W

ildlife and Environment Society of South Africa (Wessa), an organisation promoting environmental consciousness in South Africa, recently made the announcement that 10 beaches are now certified Blue Flag status.

Based on 33 criteria divided into four categories – environmental education and information, water quality, environmental management, and safety and services – two of the far south beaches, Muizenberg beach and Fish Hoek beach, have been acknowledged for their excellence.

The other beaches to receive Blue Flag status include Bikini Beach in Gordon’s Bay, Camps Bay, Fourth beach in Clifton, Llandudno, Melkbosstrand, Mnandi, Silwerstroomstrand, Strandfontein and Seaforth (provisionally).

The City of Cape Town says the announcement is good news for beachgoers and shows the City’s commitment to providing quality facilities for residents and visitors.

“The City is honoured to once again be part of the Blue Flag programme, with 10 of our beaches making the cut.

“The Blue Flag beaches are geographically well positioned around the metropole, from Silwerstroomstrand in the north, beaches on the Atlantic Seaboard, to the secluded little Bikini Beach next to the Gordons Bay Harbour in the South,” says Mayco member for community services and health Zahid Badroodien.

“These beaches are visited by thousands of residents and tourists every year and the City is making sure that they are of a high standard.”

According to the City, the announcement signifies the parks and recreation department’s summer readiness ahead of the holiday season, which promises to be busy, as usual..

More than 330 lifeguards have been stationed at various bathing areas around the city since the second week of September.

Their preparations include more than 330 lifeguards being stationed at various bathing areas around the city, to ensure public safety.

Parks and recreation noted an almost 50%

reduction in the number of fatal drowning incidents during the 2018/19 summer season, as compared to the previous season from 2017 to 2018..

“Our staff work tirelessly to ensure a quali-

ty experience for all visitors to our facilities, but it’s a two-way street and we need the public to support us by listening to lifeguards and other City staff, and to swim only in designated areas,” Badroodien said.

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

Vandalism causes delay in City computer programme Ongoing cable theft and vandalism at libraries are severely hampering the City of Cape Town’s efforts to allow learners, jobseekers, entrepreneurs and the public access to the digital space through the complimentary SmartCape service.

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 al-

so 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.

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.”

Hair, hair for Movember month as men pledge support Movember has begun...

“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 histori-

cally men account for the smallest percentage of clients to public healthcare facilities.

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).

International ballet in town

SA’s gem to backup Toni W

ith less than two weeks to go to Toni Braxton’s As Long As I Live SA tour, event promoters Glen 21 Entertainment in association with McDonald’s and KayaFM, have announced that platinum selling artist Shekhinah alongside DJ Hudson will support Braxton on tour in Johannesburg and Cape Town.

Having established herself as a national

treasure, post her stint on South African Idols, Shekhinah became a household name after her 2016 hit single “Back to the Beach”.

She also featured on the Black Coffee single, “Your Eyes”, and the Jesse Clegg single “Breathing” in the same year, raising her to stardom.

This multi-award winning musical sensation has performed across the continent and has collaborated with several international artists and local brands.

Her recent album Rosegold is currently the highest streamed album in the country and is certified platinum.

The Cape Town show will take place on Tuesday 12 November at the Grand Arena, Grandwest Casino.

Both shows are officially sold out.

Russian ballet lovers may brace themselves for a week-long performance by the St Petersburg Ballet Theatre from Wednesday 15 to Sunday 19 April next year.

The crew will be presenting a Tchaikovsky’s magnificent classical ballet and Swan Lake at the Artscape Opera House.

Organisers have promised stunning performances.

“Led by Prima Ballerina, Irina Kolesnikova, I guarantee our performances here in South Africa will long be remembered.

From London’s Coliseum Theatre to the Theatre des Champs Elysees in Paris, and

from Hong Kong to Sydney, our unequalled Russian art performs to full houses and standing ovations,” says Konstantin Tachkin, the founding director of the St Petersburg Ballet.

“In the statement, it is said that Swan Lake tells the classic love story of Prince Siegfried and the Swan Princess, Odette torn, apart by the villainous sorcerer Rothbart in a story where true love conquers all,” Tachkin adds.

V Ticket prices vary from R250 to R690 and are available at https://swanlake.computicket.com.

Perfect weekend for Lavender Hill NOORE NACERODIEN

The Hill’s batters also showed no mercy to Mushfieka Abdurahman and Chante Pepino who shared the pitching duties on the mound for A’s. They amassed a total of 11 hits from the luckless duo with Miché Hendricks (3-4) and Jadine Davids (2-2) topping the batting for the Hill.

The Hill found the going tougher against Falcons on Sunday 3 November, running out 4-2 winners in a tight contest.
