Cancer patients get new machine Experts explore a new Halcyon radiotherapy machine at Groote Schuur Hospital during the unveiling ceremony on Wednesday 2 October. This is the latest innovation in the Hospital’s oncology department. It is hoped the machine will ease the growing demand of cancer patients needing radiotherapy, and each procedure will be faster compared to other machines at the hospital.

Illegal dumping curbed NOMZAMO YUKU @NomzamoYuku

S

ince the drop-off facility for non-perishable waste in 13th Avenue in Kensington was opened a year ago, littering has decreased. (“Waste woes curbed”, People’s Post, 25 September 2018) This is according to Leslie John Swartz, the chairperson of the KenFac Ratepayers’ Association’s illegal dumping sub-committee.

He spoke to People’s Post shortly after completing a clean-up project with a team of volunteers on Saturday 28 September. They cleaned up the area between Fifth Avenue

EL ED

in Kensington to 18th Avenue in Factreton.

A clean-up is held almost every second month, depending on the availability of funds, to raise awareness about keeping the area neat and tidy.

Swartz says even though there are residents who still fail to do their part, most make use of the City of Cape Town’s refuse removal services by either leaving their bins out to be collected or by taking their garbage straight to the waste facility.

He says they’re still struggling on the Factreton side, attributing it to the high number of backyarders living in the area.

“There is a shortage of bins which means litter piles up until the next collection day,”

Swartz says.

He thanked the residents who volunteered to help clean the area.

“Many thanks to all the cleaning volunteers, donors and sustainability partners for your continued support.”

Eight residents volunteered. Swartz says they were compensated for their time to show appreciation and to inspire them to continue contributing to their community.

He says the R70 compensation per volunteer is made possible through regular donors who support the idea of creating clean communities.

Swartz says the volunteers are a group of unemployed residents, mostly youth who.

despite their social challenges, try to give back to their community.

“We do not marginalise anyone, it is their way of giving back and this (the compensation) is a little token of our appreciation,” he says.

Helen Jacobs, the councillor for ward 56, confirms the drop-off facility for non-perishable waste is effective in Kenfac but says more awareness needs to be done to make sure everyone makes use of it.

She says while most people use it effectively, some still bring perishable goods to the facility.

Jacobs also acknowledges the shortage of bins in some households.

Faster procedure for cancer patients NOMZAMO YUKU #NomzamoYuku

C

ancer patients at Groote Schuur Hospital in Observatory will now receive state-ofthe-art treatment after the hospital invested millions of Rands in a Halcyon radiotherapy machine.

The machine was installed and began operating at the hospital’s oncology unit on Wednesday 2 October.

It was purchased from Varian Africa at a cost of R35m, and was shipped from Switzerland. It is hoped that it will help manage the growing demand of cancer patients needing

radiotherapy.

According to Nanette Joubert, head of the department of medical physics, a procedure will only take less than eight minutes per patient with the new machine and they can accommodate an average of 40 patients daily.

The machine stores details of each patient so that they are accurately identified with each examination.

The name is displayed on a small screen during each procedure.

Joubert says the machine is an all-in-one design, with a self-shielding layer that makes it even safer. Joubert explains all the required examinations and treatments will

be performed in one go. This will also help reduce the waiting period for patients who need treatment.

Jeannette Parkes, head of radiation oncology, says the machine can treat complicated radiotherapy plans that conform to the highest standard in the world. She says it allows accurate verification of the patient’s position during every radiotherapy treatment day. “This is particularly important for patients who are being treated in areas where soft tissue organs can move with daily physiological changes,” Parkes says.

Dr Bhavna Patel, the hospital’s chief executive officer, thanked everyone who played

a role in sourcing and making sure the machine is in a position to render the intended services.

Another word of gratitude came from Francois Heyns a cancer patient, who is battling cancer for a second time since his first diagnosis in 2011. He says it is good to know that the government cares and invests in advanced equipment to save lives. He says unlike the first time he was diagnosed, he is now more positive, knowing he’s getting the best treatment in the country. He encourages those that have been diagnosed with cancer to not be frightened or think of it is a death sentence. “You can beat it.”

Marais supports name change The Western Cape minister of cultural affairs and sport, Anroux Marais submitted an application to the national minister of arts and culture, Nathi Mthethwa, validating her support for the proposed name change of the Zonnebloem suburb to District Six on Sunday 29 September.

Marais is supporting an initiative started by the District Six Museum a year ago. The museum then applied to the Western Cape Provincial Geographical Names Committee (WCPGNC) after which the museum had to present its application to the committee in February this year.

WCPGNC resolved to support the application at a meeting held in June and then passed it on to Marais.

“It is hoped the name change will clearly communicate to the community and residents of District Six that you have been seen, you have been heard and that you do belong,” she said.

FACTRETON

Thugs break into school, twice NOMZAMO YUKU @NomzamoYuku

T

hieves broke into WD Hendricks Primary School in Factreton twice last week, stealing pipes, pots, pans and a food trolley worth almost R10 000.

According to a staff member at the school, who did not want to be named, the thieves vandalised the toilets and stole water pipes on Tuesday 1 October.

On Wednesday 2 October, they stole more pipes and two big pots, plates and an aluminium food trolley. The staff member says the pipes alone would cost R6 000 to replace and the trolley about R2 000. The money would have to come from the school’s budget.

The school has 355 learners, of which 100 of them depend on the school feeding scheme, which the pots and plates are used for.

On Tuesday the school was forced to close at 13:30 instead of 14:30 because learners could not be kept too long without water.

“They are young and cannot control their bladders, and they need to eat too,” says the staff member.

It is believed the suspects gained access through the main gate which the staff member says has been broken for two years now. When they got inside the premises, they broke the locks and found their way to the kitchen.

Repairs started almost immediately and they were hoping to complete the work by last week Friday 4 October.

Erika Isaacs, chairperson of the Kensington community policing forum, says the community has had enough of these kinds of incidents and 50 residents gathered in Voortrekker Road to display their concern on Wednesday 2 October.

Use these waste disposal sites instead The City of Cape Town advises all residents and businesses using the City’s drop-off sites to dispose of garden waste that the capacity is currently limited due to delays in the appointment of a chipping contractor.

Until a contractor can be appointed to perform garden greens chipping at these sites, commercial entities may be referred to alternative drop-off sites, or landfills if their load is greater than 1.5 tonnes, or if they are dropping off multiple loads per day.

In order to minimise the inconvenience, the City is temporarily accepting and storing garden waste at the closed Bellville site while the matter is still being resolved.

The appointment of a chipping contractor has been delayed due to the emergence of a new invasive species of beetle, the polyphagous shot-hole borer beetle that lives in the trunks and branches of trees. This species was detected in April this year, and the City’s invasive species unit has been working since then to address the problem. Specifications for the previous three-year tender were drafted before this emergence and did not con-

tain requirements for dealing with the threat posed by such species.

While the new tender specifications are being developed, and the bidding process on a revised long-term tender unfolds, the City’s solid waste department is working toward the appointment of contractors who can perform the chipping process in the interim.

All possible avenues to get an interim service up and running as quickly as possible are being explored. In the meantime, garden waste disposed at drop-off sites is being transported to landfills daily where it is being stockpiled until an interim contractor is appointed.

A list of the City’s drop-off facilities and landfill sites, and details of their operating hours and location, are available on the City’s website.

All of these facilities will accept green waste, except for Sea Point, Woodstock and Retreat which are closed for upgrade construction.

The City regrets the inconvenience caused and they have assured residents they are doing their utmost to ensure the inconvenience to those who make use of these facilities is minimised.

‘Are you man enough?’

NOMZAMO YUKU @NomzamoYuku One million men country-wide need to paint their pinky nails and show their support against gender-based violence.

Christopher Thorpe, founder of the Pinky Promise Movement, launched the campaign under the theme “Are You Man Enough?” at the Hope Distillery in Salt River on Wednesday 2 October.

Like many South Africans, he was deeply touched by the recent brutal attacks against women and children.

“I was just about to land in Cape Town three weeks ago when I became overwhelmed by the thought of what is going on in our country. From that moment I knew I needed to make this happen. I hope we reach the target by Monday 16 December,” Christopher says.

He says it is only through creating “something disruptive” that they will show they care about women. Pinky Promise aims to initiate an unbreakable commitment in sup-

Paul Paarman was among the first men who had his nail painted at the launch. port of multiple social issues. He is hoping to get sponsors and influential stakeholders on board to help spread the word.

Explaining the theme, Christopher says it was to provoke the inner conscience of each man, encouraging them to do introspection to identify whether they truly stand for what a “man” is, or if being a man is just about gender. With this campaign, he challenges those that confidently identify themselves as a real “man” to wear black nail polish on their pinky finger and share their photos using the hashtags #pinkypromise #areyoumanenough on social media.

Another objective of the campaign is to raise funds for charity organisations working with vulnerable women and children.

The launch received a warm welcome.

Guests had their pinky nails painted at the venue, and some bought promotional drinks of which the proceeds would be donated towards the campaign.

Paul Paarman was among the first men who painted his nails on the day. He hopes many men will heed the call and have their fingernails painted to show their solidarity against gender-based violence.

COMMUNITY CHAMPIONS ELDERS AWARDS

Danny Brown, the ‘father of Elsies’ TARRYN-LEIGH SOLOMONS @tarryns07

T

o many, Danny Brown is known as the father of Elsies River.

Come rain or shine, he makes it his daily mission to uplift the community whether it be by helping the elderly or by doing motivational talks at schools in the area.

The 76-year-old is one of three finalists in the 70 to 80 years category of this year’s Community Champions Elders Awards.

The awards are presented by TygerBurger, People’s Post and City Vision in partnership with Spec-Savers.

Because so many people live in darkness, Brown says he is determined to be the “light” in people’s lives. “I’m passionate about giving back to my community because this is where I grew up and also raised my children. Every Monday and Wednesday, we provide the elderly with coffee and meals at the Elsies River multi-purpose centre. To make it fun, we also have sports days and social dances for the elderly,” says Brown, who is also passionate about athletics. “Some of our people live in darkness in their homes, and in this safe space, I aim to be the light in their life.”

He arranges for sandwiches to be distributed to Clarke Estate as well, where he says he engages with the community including troubled youth who face challenges.

“Schools invite me to speak to the learners who face disciplinary hearings and also to do motivational talks with learners. I also speak to the young boys who want to join (gangs), and encourage them that there is

more to life. They just need to look for the light and remain level-headed. One of the things I believe in is discipline.”

Brown is also president of the Elsies River Athletics Club. The sport is something he has always been passionate about. His secret, to still be “on the go”, he says, is as a result of his healthy lifestyle. “I have never smoked nor had a sip of alcohol in my life. For the past 43 years, one of my biggest commitments was running. This is something I don’t only do for my health, but my mind and spirit too.”

Through his journey in athletics, Brown learned that a big lack in the community is sporting facilities.

“In 1963 (at the age of 20), we started the athletics club to encourage youngsters to focus on their mental and physical health.

There are about 50 athletes in the club and they participate in road running, marathons and cross country.”

He explains why it’s important for him to give back: “When I see people, I want to give them hope.

“I’m always an ear and always available for anyone who needs to talk, or someone who just wants to be uplifted. We always Danny Brown is as fit as a fiddle. need to show each other love.”

We are blessed to have such a lovely and friendly man.” a man like him set an example.”

City Health talks climate change With World Environmental Health Day commemorated annually on 26 September, the City of Cape Town brought environmental health practitioners together to talk about climate change, its effects and the roles of practitioners.

The theme for 2019 focuses on climate change and how it affects human health, directly and indirectly – particularly in vulnerable communities.

According to the leaders in the charge against climate change, the International Federation of Environmental Health (IFEH): “Direct and indirect health impacts associated with climate change are caused by rising temperatures, altered precipitation patterns as well as increasingly severe and frequent extreme weather events. Direct health impacts arise from hazards such as heat-waves, droughts and storms, and indirect im-

pacts come from exposures to disease vectors, air and water pollution. Rising carbon dioxide levels, which contribute to climate change, may also reduce the nutrient value in staple crops. This could increase food insecurity among some populations, particularly those in developing countries.”

Mayco member for community services and health, Zahid Badroodien says the City is also looking to combat the progression of the global crisis. “Climate change is a very abstract concept for many people, but in Cape Town, we have, in the last three years, come face-to-face with the potential devastation that it can bring,” he says, referring to the water crisis. “It has forced us to start looking very differently at the traditional role of health practitioners, and those they work with. The conversation continues, because there are no

easy answers. The one thing that is certain, is that collaboration within the City administration is crucial, but also with outside parties and, of course, our residents.” He adds: “The City’s environmental health department performs so many different functions that the public is oblivious to, and they acquit themselves of their task very well. However, the demands on these professionals increase daily, as a result of factors like climate change, the growing population and other socio-economic factors.

“So, while climate change is the focus of World Environmental Health Day, it is also an opportunity to acknowledge the efforts of the department and the role it plays in building safer communities.”

V Residents can report any environment-related complaints or concerns to 0860 103 089 or visit their nearest environmental health office or clinic.

ARD host successful 3-Vlei race A

RD athletic club held its nineth annual 3-vlei road race through the streets of Grassy Park on Sunday 6 October.

The race has a unique characteristic as it takes the participants in the 10km distance past the iconic Princess Vlei, Rondevlei and Zeekoei Vlei.

This year saw over 2 200 people participating in the main race with a remarkable increase in the 5km fun run of 1 400 pairs of feet enjoying the well-organised event.

Nkosiyethu Sotyanja of Multi-sport MSA (30:44) and the ever impressive Pamela Moyikwa of RC Langa (37:24) took the no.1 podium positions in the men’s and women’s races respectively.

The much talked about sub-60-minute shield on offer for finishers of the 10km by the race organiser was once again the highlight of the event for the club runners, with many recording their personal bests on the flat route.

Young athletes blaze trail T

he Green Point Athletics Stadium was a hive of activity on Saturday 5 October, with schools from the Eastern and Western Cape pulling out all the stops while competing for the coveted title of South Africa’s best athletics school at the second leg of the Twizza Super School Series regional qualifiers.

The series has one clear goal in mind – to crown SA’s best athletics school.

“The Twizza Super School Series delivered fine competition in track and field today,” says Athletics South Africa president, Aleck Skhosana.
