Healthy breakfast sorted 

Mama Muesli is proudly local granola made with love by 

Eloïse Steyn. The idea was born during lockdown when she 

tried to stay creative with feeding her housebound clan. She 

found a chocolate granola recipe online, tweaked it a bit, and 

ended up with a winner. Seeing how her family and friends 

enjoyed her granola, she decided to give Mama Muesli a go 

(which technically speaking is a granola; however, Eloise was 

not enamoured with Granny Granola as a name just yet). 

The first pack of Mama Muesli was sold in April 2021, and the 

range has since been expanded with Classic Granola, as well 

as a gluten free option. Mama Muesli contains only natural 

ingredients - with no added sugar. Contact Eloïse at 0710812505

Lifestyle entrepreneur, international 

bodybuilding and fitness judge, 

and professional fitness athlete 

Hende-Mari Strydom is a beguiling 

mix of strength and gentleness, 

assertiveness and confidence, and 

graciousness and humility. For her 

being a woman means finding the 

delicate balance between being a 

warrior and a nurturer… 

Text: MARGARET LINSTRÖM. Photographs: PIERCE VAN HEERDEN 


First, the million-dollar question, how do you manage to 

look as good as you do? 

I do have a pool of naughty genes in my family that let me 

gain weight easier than some other lucky people. But it’s still 

what you put into your mouth which makes you gain weight 

(the gene thing is just an excuse). Most people don’t believe 

me when they hear that I haven’t been training consistently 

for the past three years. People have the misconception that 

I have the luxury and time to train for hours every day. That 

couldn’t be further from the truth. 

My life is a rollercoaster now, and I 

have so many balls to juggle. I do 

however keep my kitchen clean 

and enjoy eating clean 95 percent 

of the time. My occasional cheat 

would be a glass of good Prosecco 

or red wine, and harvest table 

treats. 

Is eating right as important as 

exercise? 

Eating right is the most important 

aspect – not crash diets, but a 

healthy, balanced and consistent 

lifestyle. Exercise makes you feel 

good, but only a healthy eating 

plan will make you see results in 

how you look. 

Do you consider yourself an 

entrepreneur? 

Definitely. I’m a lifestyle entrepreneur, and I’m fortunate 

to have learnt a lot from my husband, Marius, who is an 

unbelievable businessman. Everything we do has some sort 

of business aspect to it. It’s the way we live and the way he 

grew up. 

What have been your greatest achievements thus far? 

My greatest professional achievement was in 2016 when 

I completed my MBA and won the Miss Universe Fitness 

title in Orlando, Florida. I was also working at the time and 

honestly do not know how I did it all. My proudest personal 

achievement is seeing my daughter grow up as a confident, 

healthy, hard-working girl with a kind and beautiful heart. 

How did your fitness career begin? 

What started as a personal challenge to drop a few pesky 

I’ve been to hell and 

back with critics and 

stereotypes. At first it hurt, 

but then I realised that most 

people don’t understand 

what leading a healthy 

lifestyle and preparing for 

competitions entail. 

kilos quickly turned into a whirlwind and led to fitness 

competition success. All of this was obviously much tougher 

than it seemed from the outside. My mornings started 

at 03:30 and I was lucky to get to bed before midnight – 

juggling it all with my marriage, as well as my daughter. The 

amount of discipline that went into my eating and training 

programme was so intense that I almost burnt out at some 

stages of the journey. But, I made the choice, and I did it in 

the healthiest way possible, and nothing was going to stop 

me! This led to me establishing ZooZLifestyle, a fitness and 

lifestyle brand that allows people from 

all walks of life to follow my example. 

I live the ZooZLifestyle, and I lead by 

example. People know this and trust 

me because of this. 

What great goals do you have for 

the future? 

I’m pursuing a PhD, and it’s stressful 

and very time-consuming. I plan to 

complete it by the end of next year, 

as I want to use the findings from my 

study to take my ZooZLifestyle brand 

internationally. I’m also the South 

African President of the World Fitness 

Federation and I want to make WFF SA 

a success. However, one of my biggest 

dreams is to have another child. 

Tell us something surprising about 

yourself. 

Most people think I’m this huge 

bodybuilder when they see me in photos. In fact, I wear a 

size 6/8, weigh 58kg, wear a size 5 shoe, and I’m 1.69m tall. 

People are shocked when they see me in real life. I’m also an 

introvert, self-conscious about everything about myself, and I 

cry when I’m happy, sad, and mad. 

Lastly, you believe in defying stereotypes. 

After people see my fitness and bodybuilding performances 

they might think, ‘What is she doing and why?’ or, ‘This is 

too muscular for a woman’, or, ‘Is this what being fit entails?’. 

I’ve been to hell and back with critics and stereotypes. 

At first it hurt, but then I realised that most people don’t 

understand what leading a healthy lifestyle and preparing for 

competitions entail. So, for now I focus on helping women to 

live an authentic life. 



GROUNDED IN 

HOPE 

For someone not yet 50 years old, Alicia Sherriff’s 

achievements are impressive. Not only is she a professor 

in clinical and radiation oncology, she also heads the 

oncology unit at the Universitas Hospital Annex in 

Bloemfontein. Here she speaks to Get It about how 

medicine chose her, why she decided to work with cancer 

patients, and how hope is a multi-layered thing. 

licia grew up in Monte Vista, Cape Town, a serious, studious 

girl. “I took life very seriously and from early on was 

focused and academically inclined with a passion for art 

and maths.” Her parents, whom she describes as her 

“greatest supporters”, were employed in the banking 

sector and with her love for maths it was assumed 

that Alicia would study accounting. She, however, 

feared that her desire for caring and her passion for 

interacting with people would not be fulfilled if 

she pursued a career in accounting. When the 

time came to make a decision about what to 

study, Alicia realised that medicine combined 

science, precision and compassion. An event 

that further cemented her decision to study 

medicine occurred during her teenage 

years. Her cousin, who was the same 

age as her, was diagnosed with rectal 

cancer. “As a family we became part of a 

screening programme at Stellenbosch 

University for familial polyposis. This created an awareness in me about cancers and 

the impact they could have on lives – young to old.” 

After doing her houseman year at Kimberley Hospital, Alicia packed her bags to 

work in England for a year as a resident medical officer. “I already knew that I would 

like to specialise in oncology. Therefore, I requested to be placed at hospitals 

where there were oncology and palliative care facilities. I got the opportunity to 

assist in theatre, gave chemotherapies, managed side effects, put up chemo drips, 

carried bed pans, and sat at the bedside of terminal patients while they told this 

foreign doctor about the life they had lived,” she remembers. 

getitmagazine.co.za/bloemfontein

While in England, Alicia asked around and was told 

that the best place to specialise in clinical and radiation 

oncology was at the University of the Free State. 

Fortuitously, there was an opening for her to specialise 

and she returned from England earlier to begin her 

path with what she calls her “special oncology family 

at Universitas Annex”. Her “oncology family” included 

the Head of Department, Prof. Louis Goedhals, who 

became a great mentor to her. “The friends and 

colleagues who I have had (fellow registrars, fellow 

specialists, nursing staff, radiographers, administrative 

staff, cleaners and porters) over the past 23 years have 

shaped me, supported me through tears and laughter 

on a personal and professional level, and while some 

have moved far away, the bonds that we’ve built will 

stand the test of time.” 

Alicia, who comes across as having zero ego, remarks 

that she has learnt so much from her patients and 

their families over the years, especially regarding 

hope. “Hope has a few layers,” she explains. 

“There is the science of cancer therapy where 

there are continuous new developments in 

systemic therapy and new radiation therapy 

techniques, which are exciting, and which 

requires us to be constant students 

within our profession. Then there is the 

hope of human nature where difficult 

experiences bring greater awareness in 

so many of our patients. The other fact 

that you must make your own early 

on in your career as an oncologist 

is our departmental motto: To 

CURE sometimes, to RELIEVE 

often, to COMFORT always.” 

But, Alicia is more than an 

oncology professor, she is 

also a daughter, a wife and a 

mother, and a passionate animal 

and nature lover. She met her 

husband, a mechanical engineer, in her 

first year of specialisation. “We got married 

in 2000 and were blessed with a precious 

redhead daughter in 2007. My dad calls her 

‘Vlammetjie’.” Alicia says their daughter shares 

her parents love for maths, “so that is where 

her future lies”. My curiosity is piqued, and 

I wonder aloud if ‘Vlammetjie’ is as serious 

as her mother was as a child? “I often 

wish I was not as hard on myself as a 

child and was a bit more carefree.” 

Yet, despite her earnest, bookish 

childhood, it’s clear that it did not 

douse the flame of hope in Alicia 

Sherriff’s heart.

Jeakita Bodenstein was a dramatic, creative child who 

longed to be an actress or a fashion designer. 

Her mother, on the other hand, felt Jeakita would make an 

exceptional makeup artist. 

And mommy dearest, of course, was absolutely spot on! 

Here Jeakita shares her story with Get It… 

Jeakita’s parents raised her to follow her dreams. Initially 

this meant owning a gym and being a personal trainer. “I 

loved it, but something was lacking. I missed my creative 

side, so I decided to start doing makeup and hairstyling 

on weekends. My makeup career picked up so fast that I 

decided to make it my full time job.” 

Mastering the art of areola tattooing 

Jeakita specialises in lips, brows, liners, and areola tattoos. 

Asked about the areoIa tattooing, she explains, “I’ve always 

been artistic and a quick learner. I started doing areola tattoos 

in 2018 from watching others do it. But it wasn’t until 2019 

when I did a course with Roberta Peixoto – the Brazilian 

queen of areola tattoos – that I was able to do much more 

detailed and specialised work.” Areola tattoos are done on 

a woman who has recovered from breast cancer or who has 

undergone a mastectomy and breast reconstruction. What 

Jeakita does is often the last step to a full recovery. “The patient 

needs to be fully recovered and free of cancer,” she says. “After this, she 

undergoes her reconstruction (if she wishes) and about a year later her doctor 

does a check-up and gives us the thumbs-up to go ahead with the process.” 

Jeakita uses the same digital device for areola tattooing as she uses for lips, liner 

and powder/ombre brows, but the procedure involved is different. “I use different 

settings and work with different needles and pigments. I play around with sizes, 


life-chancing 

ART 

configurations, hand speed and device settings to create 

different textures and effects – much like painting with a 

paintbrush.” 

Areola tattooing holds a special place in Jeakita’s heart 

because she feels that she is part of a huge step in a 

cancer survivor’s journey. “I’m part of closing a chapter 

of pain and struggle and welcoming a new chapter. It’s 

rewarding on an emotional level, but it’s also creative and 

artistic, and it allows me to be more expressive, creating 

depths and tones for more realistic work.” Is this procedure 

more intimate than the other procedures she does? “It 

is intimate, and some women are more emotional than 

others. But, it’s so important to remember that these 

women are survivors and nothing can stop them now. 

They’re not scared of needles, nor are they scared of pain. 

They’ve been though much worse and being in my studio 

is exciting for them. It’s a celebration after a long and 

painful process.” 

Never stop learning and growing 

The golden thread that runs through Jeakita’s life is that 

she never rests on her laurels. “I feel you can never get 

comfortable. Always be open to learn and grow, and 

keep on sharpening your skills, whatever they are.” This 

innate desire to be the best in the business led Jeakita to 

being chosen by a German company, Amiea, to represent 

them as an ambassador in 2019. “This opened so many 

doors for me. I travelled to China where I was a speaker 

at a conference in Shanghai and I presented a lip tattoo 

masterclass for a large group of technicians.” Jeakita also 

travelled to Vietnam three times to work in a spa. “I was 

in Brazil where I attended one of the biggest permanent 

makeup congresses. I also attended a masterclass 

presented by one of my idols, Mariana Freitas. After this, I 

took part in an international competition and went on to 

compete in Berlin at the Permanent International Congress 

with the best in the business. It was such a great honour!” 

According to Jeakita, traveling for work was something she 

never thought would happen for her. “I will always cherish 

these experiences and opportunities.” 

Whether it’s travelling abroad or sharing the journey of a 

cancer survivor, Jeakita continues to expand her horizons, 

and in doing so, helps others to grow.

Food touched by an 

Angel prepared one of her signature dishes for us: 

Bacon and Brussels Sprouts Salad 

Ingredients: 

Olive oil – ½ cup; Lemon juice – ¼ cup; Garlic, crushed – 1-2, Salt and pepper 

– to taste, Brussels Sprouts – 400g, Bacon – six strips, Pumpkin seeds – ¼ cup; 

Parmesan cheese – 60g 

Method: 

In a small jar with a lid, add the oil, lemon juice, crushed garlic, salt and pepper. 

Cover the jar and shake until the ingredients have combined. Place in the 

fridge until you are ready to use it. 

Cook the bacon as you normally would and set it aside to cool. 

Prepare the Brussels Sprouts by using a mandolin cutter (watch your fingers!) 

or food processor. If you do not have these tools, you can do it manually by 

holding on to the stem and carefully slicing the sprouts into thin pieces to 

shred. 

Toast your pumpkin seeds. 

In a large salad bowl, toss together the Brussels Sprouts, most of the pumpkin 

seeds, the bacon bits and the cheese. Drizzle the dressing onto the salad and 

toss again. Top with the remaining pumpkin seeds, bacon and cheese.

Rose oil 

Unlike Rosehip oil, this oil comes from the petals of the 

flower and not the seeds. While also containing antibacterial, 

antiviral and antifungal properties, this oil also has effects that 

extend beyond skincare. After application to the skin, studies 

have shown results such as: decreased anxiety and stress, eased 

depressive symptoms, and relief from menstrual pain. To use rose 

oil, it can be lightly dabbed onto the skin, added to a diffuser or 

dropped into a warm bath.

The A-Z of 

comparing 

cancer benefits 

Cancer treatment on its own is expensive, and then there are also the 

hidden costs linked to lifestyle changes, employing a carer, and the cost of 

transport to treatment centres. So, how do you choose a cancer benefit 

that’s right for you and compare apples with apples? 

Rosehip oil 

Rosehip oil comes from the seeds 

of the wild rose bush and is high in 

Vitamin A and essential fatty acids. 

This oil has regeneration properties, 

fixing dry and damaged skin as well 

as reducing signs of aging. It is also 

useful for scar tissue, with the ability to reduce signs 

of stretch marks. It even has antiviral and antibacterial 

properties due to the phenols that it contains. It is said 

that Kate Middleton is a fan of rosehip oil, using it in her 

daily skincare regime. It has multiple benefits, including 

hydrating and brightening your skin, moisturising, 

boosting, collagen formation, reducing inflammation 

and hyperpigmentation, and boosting overall immunity. 

You can either simply apply a few drops to your skin and 

rub in, or add it to your moisturiser. 

Rose Geranium 

This one isn’t really from 

the rose plant at all. The 

oil comes from a certain 

geranium plant with leaves 

that smell strongly of roses. It 

is often used in cosmetics and fragrances due to its sweet 

smell, as well as its favourable qualities, including its antiaging 

properties, assistance in healing, its pain relief and 

anti-anxiety properties, and it’s great at removing dead 

skin cells. To use, simply dilute with some water and apply 

to skin. Alternatively, you can add it to a warm bath or use 

in a diffuser.

There is no one-size-fits-all benefit, but the starting point is to understand 

what types of cancers are covered under various cancer benefit options, 

says Nonkululeko Zungu, Product Support Consultant for Sanlam 

Individual Life. 

Your choice of cover will depend on you, your budget, your family history 

with cancer and so on. A qualified financial adviser can guide you on a 

benefit that meets your needs and gives you value for money. 

Consider this when you compare benefits: 

• Which cancers are covered – at what stages – and what amount will 

the insurer pay? 

Remember that not all insurers cover the same types of cancer or pay 

out the same percentages of the cover amount for a particular stage of 

cancer. All insurers must, however, indicate what percentages they pay 

out for various stages of cancer. 

In superior cancer benefits, the percentage which is paid out is usually 

linked to both the severity (stage) of the cancer as well as to its likely 

impact on a person’s lifestyle. For example, Sanlam’s Cancer Benefits 

pays 100% for certain aggressive cancers even in their early stages. 

“To give clients peace of mind, yet avoid long lists of specific types of 

cancers that are covered, some insurers include a catch-all claim event,” 

says Nonkululeko Zungu, Product Support Consultant for Sanlam 

Individual Life. When a cancer benefit includes a catch-all claim event, 

cancers that are not specifically listed may also be covered. 

• Price: 

Compare premiums and understand what you’ll pay as an initial 

premium, but make sure you ask about premium increases later on. It is 

important to understand for how long premiums will remain unchanged. 

If you qualify for a discount from the insurer, ask whether you will 

continue to enjoy that discount should your circumstances change, for 

example, should you stop going to the gym or if you cancel some of 

your other policies with the same insurer. If these types of changes will 

affect your cancer benefit premium, make sure you understand by how 

much the premium may increase. 

• Also consider: 

- That the level of underwriting (health questionnaires, blood and other 

tests) will most likely impact the premium 

- That there may be exclusions linked to conditions or circumstances 

under which the benefit will not pay out 

- That waiting periods may apply before you can qualify to claim under a 

benefit

Life Rosepark Hospital’s Emergency and 

Trauma Unit is designed to respond fast. 

When you arrive at the 

Emergency Unit, they will provide you 

with the highest level of skill, experience 

and infrastructure. 

To find out more about the Emergency 

Unit, Get It Bloemfontein asked Life 

Rosepark Hospital some questions. 

What are the operational working hours for an 

Emergency Unit? 

An Emergency Unit is open 24 hours a day, seven days a 

week, should emergency care be required. 

When should I visit the Emergency Unit? 

Seek emergency treatment for life-threatening situations 

that require immediate medical attention, including the 

following: head injuries, chest pain, stroke symptoms, 

breathing difficulty, uncontrolled bleeding, sudden 

or severe pain, significant burns or broken bones. 

Illness or injury can suddenly occur without warning; 

hence everyone must know what to expect when 

they arrive. The Life Rosepark Hospital Emergency Unit 

provides emergency care for patients with traumatic 

injuries, serious illnesses or other problems that require 

immediate treatment. The staff consists of doctors, 

nurses and other medical professionals who follow 

specific procedures to provide the care you need as 

soon as possible. 

If I have a medical emergency at home or have been 

involved in a motor vehicle accident, whom should I call? 

It is important to have a medical emergency number 

listed on your mobile device for your specific region. 

Life Rosepark Hospital has a highly qualified ALS 

paramedic team (Life EMS) that will assist you with your 

medical emergency. By phoning the 24-hour national 

emergency number for Life EMS 0860 123 367, you will 

be connected with a professionally trained person who 

will obtain relevant information needed to activate the 

Life EMS paramedic on duty. 

What will happen when I arrive at the Emergency Unit? 

Life Rosepark Hospital will provide you with the 

highest level of skill, experience and infrastructure. Our 

emergency and trauma unit is designed to respond fast 

and we actively use our versatility to achieve decisive 

excellence in emergency care. 

We have highly skilled specialists such as cardiologists, 

neurologists, neurosurgeons, orthopaedic surgeons, 

etc., available for expert assistance during medical 

emergencies. Our years of experience have taught us the 

value of every minute.

Life Rosepark Hospital’s Emergency Unit - fast & efficient 

Can you explain the triage system – and how your unit 

operates? 

Triage is a clinical process that determines how severe your 

condition is and how fast you need to be taken care of. 

You will be referred to the emergency room if your condition 

is lifethreatening and requires immediate attention. If it 

is found that your illness or injury is less severe, you will be 

asked to enter the patient registration first and then return 

to the waiting area. Our triage process ensures that the best 

treatment occurs as quickly as possible. 

How long I can expect to wait? 

The waiting time also depends on how many other patients 

are being treated at the same time. Many patients arrive by 

ambulance, so you might not see them entering the facility. 

It is important to remember that people with severe or lifethreatening 

medical emergencies are treated first. People 

with minor or moderate injuries or illnesses will be treated as 

soon as possible. 

If a bed is available immediately, you will be taken through 

by a nursing staff member to the treatment area for an 

emergency medical examination. If a bed is not available, you 

may be asked to sit in the waiting area until a bed becomes 

available. The emergency doctor will examine you as soon 

as possible. However, expect a delay in doctor assessment 

should a more critical patient arrive suddenly. Should your 

condition change, our nursing practitioners will monitor you 

and ensure you receive treatment 

How long will the patient be in the emergency room? 

Your specific emergency, illness, or injury determines 

whether the treatment is simple or complex and how long it 

will take. The time required for medical treatment is different 

for each patient. Some may have an extensive medical 


history that needs to be reviewed. Others may need x-rays, 

laboratory tests, and other diagnostic tests. In some cases 

the Emergency Unit doctor might need to consult with a 

specialist (cardiologist, radiologist, neurologist, etc.). 

Your treatment can consist of the commencement of 

an infusion, administration of medication, application of 

bandages or splinting and sometimes major or minor 

surgery. As indicated, the presence of other critically ill 

patients in the unit can also affect the time of treatment. 

By whom are patients in the Emergency Unit treated? 

The care that you will receive will be rendered by the nursing 

and medical staff. Registered nurses are either trauma 

qualified or have completed the following courses: Advanced 

Cardiac Life Support, Paediatric Advance Life Support and 

also International Trauma Life Support for advance providers. 

Our doctors in the emergency room are board-certified and 

trained in Advance Life Support. You may also come into 

contact with the phlebotomist who will draw your blood, 

clinical technicians and radiologists who will perform special 

investigations ordered by the EU doctor in order to assist in 

formalising a diagnosis and treatment. 

Can patients be accompanied by family or friends? 

We understand the importance of family and friends in 

an emergency, however, we still have to comply with the 

current Legislative Covid-19 regulations to prevent disease 

transmission. 

For that reason we limit the number of persons who 

accompany the patient into the Emergency Unit, taking the 

patient’s needs into consideration. Please note that hospital 

staff are prohibited from disclosing information about you to 

third parties without your permission, as prescribed by the 

POPI Act. 


Between work, career and the daily task of keeping your family well-nourished, your 

health should be high on the list. Apart from your annual visit to the dentist (we do 

assume that you not only book for your kids) and the annual trip to the GP, make sure to 

incorporate the necessary preventative measures. According to medical experts, women aged 

between 30 and 65 should have a Pap smear done every three years and women between the ages of 40 and 64 should 

be screened for breast cancer, diabetes, cholesterol and blood pressure.

SCREENING GUIDE 

Cachet-Nel Inc - Chemotherapy, Radiation, Brachytherapy 

Breast and cervical cancer are the most common cancers in women in South Africa. Women face an approximate 12% overall 

lifetime risk for developing breast cancer, which accounts for the most frequent cause of cancer deaths in women throughout the 

world. Early detection of breast and cervical cancer is important, as the early stages can be cured and are more easily managed. 

Latest recommendations are to start breast screening from the age of 40 years. Annual mammograms are recommended between 

the ages of 45 and 55 years, thereafter, a transition to mammograms every other year. Remember to be screened younger than 40 

years if there are suspicious signs and symptoms or risk factors for breast cancer. 

Cervical cancer can be detected and treated early by regular Pap smear tests by a GP or gynaecologist. The frequency of the Pap 

smear depends on age as well as previous Pap smear results and other risk factors. It is generally advisable to start having Pap 

smears once you become sexually active. 

With modern advances in chemotherapy, radiation and surgery, cancer can be treated successfully if it is detected early. Screening 

is important in order to improve the success of the treatment after early detection.

‘Early detection saves lives’ 

Dr Corlia Loots is an Oncologist at Mediclinic Bloemfontein in 

Westdene. As an oncologist she treats patients who were already 

diagnosed with cancer. “We make use of chemotherapy, radiation therapy 

or immunotherapy (or a combination of the above) depending on the 

diagnosis and stage of the disease. For some patients no active treatment 

is indicated and palliative care is provided. 

“Early diagnosis of cancer can save lives. The value of regular 

mammograms, gynaecological appointments and general examinations 

by your general practitioner should not be underestimated,” says Dr Loots.

Drs Spies and Partners Radiologists – 

Diagnostic Radiology 

Drs Spies and Partners is located in Life Rosepark Hospital in Fichardt 

Park. Our practice has three female and three male radiologists and two 

mammographers who have the necessary expertise to provide you with 

the best possible care. 

A mammogram is one of the most important tools available for early 

detection and diagnosis, as well as monitoring of breast cancer. 

A mammogram is a special x-ray, that is specifically designed to 

penetrate through breast tissue. It is especially useful in identifying early 

breast carcinomas and is used from the age of 40 years as a diagnostic 

screening instrument. 

Our mammography department boasts a state-of-the-art 

mammography machine with tomographic capabilities, providing 

high-quality screening (x-ray of a breast). We also have a high-resolution 

breast ultrasound machine, making ultrasound-guided biopsies as well 

as placement of markers in the breast in suspicious lesions possible. 

Should you wish to come for a mammogram a referral from your 

physician is not necessary. Please make an appointment to reduce 

waiting time. Your medical aid card and identification document will be 

required. 

We recommend annual screening from 40 years of age, especially in 

cases of a family history of breast carcinoma.

The important role of gynaecologists 

Dr Thato Motlhanke is an obstetrician and gynaecologist with a surgery 

at Mediclinic Bloemfontein in Westdene. Obstetrics is a branch of 

medicine that is focused on the care of pregnant women and their 

unborn offspring as well as the management of illnesses that affect 

them. Gynaecology is concerned with the management of illnesses that 

relate to the female reproductive tract and female reproductive function 

throughout the female lifespan. Dr Motlhanke says gynaecologists play 

an important role in the fight against cancers of the female reproductive 

tract. “The screening, detection, diagnosis and management of various 

gynaecological cancers is a key role undertaken by all gynaecologists.”

“Special X-rays are taken of both breasts with light compression. 

Findings of the X-rays are evaluated by a radiologist and compared to 

previous studies, followed by an ultrasound.” 

It is recommended that the screening should be done annually from the 

age of 40 (earlier with certain risk factors).
