U20 touch rugby star to

play in Youth World Cup

Cambridge pupil selected for

Sata team set to compete in

England next year

SIPHOSIHLE DYONASE

TRISTAN HOFFMAN

Tristan Hoffman, a Grade 12 pupil at Cambridge High

School, has been selected for the South African Touch

Association (Sata) Boys’ Under 20 Touch Rugby Team,

who are set to compete at the Youth World Cup in Manchester,

England, next year.

The Youth World Cup in Manchester will be hosted in about

the middle of next year.

In preparation for the Youth World Cup, the selected players

have been instructed to train in their respective regions to

minimise costs, instead of travelling every weekend across the

provinces to train together.

However, Tristan said a training camp would be held in

January for the selected players.

He said he and his family were excited over his selection

and believed travelling overseas would be a great learning

opportunity as well.

“Even if it’s for sport, it helps you open your eyes and see the

world differently,” Tristan said.

Tr i s t a n ’s touch rugby coach, Cyril Errington, who is affiliated

to the Buffalo City Touch Association, is thrilled with Tristan’s

selection, as well as Glenwin Cramford’s and Chloe Adams’ of

Breidbach Secondary School’s selection for next year’s Youth

World Cup.

“We don’t have leagues running, so we don’t have

tournaments to choose from.

“The players that will be going are players that played about

five weeks ago in a tournament in Knysna and they will play

U21 at senior nationals in Johannesburg.

“I’m happy about the three that made it, I’m disappointed

the other three didn’t, there were six of them.

“But there is still an opportunity for them if they can perform

at the seniors and show that they are capable.”

Errington said the club faced tough financial challenges.

”We ’ve been to BCMM so many times.

“When we approached them there was no budget or

sponsorship for any team, which is the problem.”

He said the club had also approached various companies

for sponsorship but had not received any feedback.

“The only company that did sponsor us with a little donation

was Designer Lighting, with that money we bought new kits.”

Errington said the players had not had enough preparation

because they had not participated in league games since Covid-

19 struck.

“I am going to take them to Cape Town to have practise

sessions with Western Province before SIPTs, just to get them a

bit more experience playing in a league.”

East London printing visionary Vrij

Harry laid to rest after sudden death

TAMMY FRAY

Harry’s Printers is one of the oldest

institutions in East London, having been

founded in 1929. On Friday August 5 the

printing giant was dealt a blow when it lost

its leader, the visionary Vrij Harry, due to a

suspected heart attack.

Harry took over the reins of the company

from his father in 1973 and grew the

business into a formidable publishing role

player with branches all over the Eastern

Cape, one in Pretoria and admission as the

only South African printer in the

International Printers Network.

Speaking at one of his last public

appearances in his capacity as MD of

Harry’s Printers and Publishers, Harry

extended congratulations to Dr Siboniseli

Mgolozeli, saying that the latter’s book was

an important contribution to local literature

because it captured the story of Mgolozeli’s

uniquely African experience.

“This book makes use of anecdotal

evidence from our local context in

conversation with rigorous academic

research, and this attempt at making the

Western and European canon more

accessible to us as black South Africans is

what excites me about this book,” Harry

said. “Harry’s Printers strives to publish

books from local authors because we want

to see our African experience captured on

the page.”

In his obituary for the Daily Dispatch,

journalist Ted Keenan writes, “He [Harry]

loved reading and had a vast book

collection. He supported local authors and

would shave the printing prices as well as

arrange book sale sessions.”

Former headmaster at Hudson Park High

School and colleague at Harry’s Printers,

Roy Hewett remarks of Harry, “His role in

the printing company started by his

grandfather reflects visionary leadership,

considerable growth and unparalleled

support of the local writing community.

“His keen insight and rare ability to see

the ‘big picture’ early and clearly, enabled

Vrij Harry to develop his organisation

immeasurably, while never losing sight of

the needs of his staff. My experience of Mr

Harry has been one of a friendly, caring and

supportive boss who allows his employees

to grow, while advancing the essential

elements of a successful business.”

TRANSFORMING

Printers in Vincent Park,

congratulating Dr

Siboniseli Mgolozeli on

the launch of his new

TAMMY FRAY

“My lasting impression is of a man who

was extremely well-read, put his family, staff

and community at the forefront of his

business decisions, while developing a

printing and publishing company poised to

grow its footprint internationally,” he said.

Layout sub-editor at Daily Dispatch

Damien Sholayan worked with Harry’s

Printers as part of the editorial team for

Eastern Cape Today from 2008 until 2012

and he says “I have never met a CEO of a

company that played such an active role in

all departments of his business like Mr H

did. It was truly inspiring to me.

“Mr Harry had a heart of gold and I say

this from my personal experience. In 2012

when Mr Harry sold Eastern Cape Today to

new owners I had been battling with drug

addiction and even though I didn’t work for

him anymore, he paid for me to go to my

first rehabilitation centre, something that I

will forever be grateful for. I’m sure nobody

knew about it and that’s the role Mr Harry

also played in the community; he helped

and never wanted to take recognition for it.”

Harry is survived by his wife, children

and grandchildren and was laid to rest on

August 6.

Not Okay

CROSSWORD number 1292

Satire tackles monster

of social media celebrity

FAITH MTWANA

Not Okay is the perfect display of everything

wrong with the obsession people have with online

fame, and the lengths to which they are willing to

go, to get it.

Danni Sanders (brilliantly played by Zoey

Deutch), a photo editor for an online magazine

and an aspiring writer, is struggling with her job

and does not have any friends.

In an attempt to gain attention and impress a

male colleague, Danni lies about going on a

writer’s retreat in Paris and fabricates a bunch of

photos depicting herself posing in front of various

landmarks.

It goes well until she posts a photo of herself in

front of the Arc de Triomphe minutes before

several major Paris landmarks are bombed by

terrorists.

This incident mistakenly catapults Danni into

the spotlight as a terrorist attack survivor, gaining

sympathy from thousands of Americans and

ultimately making her famous on the internet.

Instead of coming clean, Danni fully embraces

her lie, and goes as far as attending trauma

support groups, writing essays about her

experience and creating a social media campaign

to gain more likes and followers.

The film starts with a small montage of Danni

receiving hate from many online platforms, some

even saying she’s worse than Adolf Hitler.

We also witness Danni becoming deluded

with her own lies, immersing herself in online

activism and creating her own hashtag.

Danni can be described as a tone deaf,

oblivious young woman, especially when she

likens her ordeal and struggles to big movements

like #MeToo and #BlackLivesMatter.

While we are all aware of how terrible Danni’s

actions are, it is interesting to see how quickly

everyone turns on her and how they simply ignore

The movie sparks an interesting conversation

maintaining their online popularity.

The series of events that lead to Danni’s secret

different street or area to clean

up. The total weight of

litter/rubbish collected was

728kg, more than 200 bags of

rubbish. Several residents and

FAITH MTWANA

Wo m e n ’s month is a time to remember and acknowledge the women

who died fighting to break barriers and ensure that we have the

opportunities we have today. It is also a chance for us to appreciate

the women still working hard to change the way society perceives

wo m e n .

Here is a list of women who are currently making moves in the

South African media industry:

and the Gupta family.

DEVI SANKAREE GOVENDER

Govender is known as an investigative journalist on Car te

Blanche, making her an undisputed media legend. Her career has

seen her go from reading the news and presenting music shows on

radio to hosting her own radio talk show on Lotus FM. From there,

she only went from strength to strength, gaining a reputation for her

straightforward approach to dealing with sensitive topics. In 1996,

she made the move from radio to television, becoming a presenter

for Eastern Mosaic and, eventually, she moved to Carte Blanche in

2002. Govender has numerous awards under her belt for her

investigative work, covering stories like corruption at the Medical

University of South Africa, the health crisis in the Eastern Cape and

the Oscar Pistorius trial.

researcher at the Witwatersrand Institute for Social and Economic

R e s e a rch .

journalists and editors. In 2018, after spending a massive 21 years at

Primedia Broadcasting, Katapodis made the decision to leave her

position as editor-in-chief of Eyewitness News. She started her own

media company along with 702’s Phemelo Motene and eNCA’s

Penny Peppa.

GLENDA DANIELS

A media legend across the board, Daniels is currently working as

an associate professor of media studies at the University of the

Witwatersrand. She is also the commissioning editor at Fesmedia on

media freedom and the chair of the South African National Editors

Fo r u m ’s diversity and ethics committee. On top of all of that, Daniels

is a former journalist at the Mail & Guardian and the author of Wits

Jo u r n a l i s m ’s State of the Newsroom in 2012 as well as the co-author

of SANEF’s Glass Ceiling 2018 study.

PIPPA GREEN

Green is a renowned South Africa journalist, author and editor.

She is the new Press Ombud, as appointed by the South African Press

Council. Prior to that Green worked at the Research Project on

Employment, Income Distribution and Inclusive Growth (REDI), a

national independent research project investigating poverty,

inequality and unemployment. She also served as the head of the

journalism programme at the University of Pretoria, and has received

numerous awards including the Nieman Fellowship at Harvard

as the deputy editor of The Sunday Independent and Pretoria News,

and as head of radio news at the SABC.

NWABISA MAKUNGA

Makunga is a South Africa journalist who has cemented herself as

a pioneer for women in media. In 2016 she became deputy editor of

the Herald and its Saturday publication, the Weekend Post, and in

July 2018 became editor of the Herald and Weekend Post. She left

the Herald and Weekend Post at the end of February 2020 to take up

a job as editor of the Sowetan, a position she stepped into as the

effects of the global Covid-19 pandemic were starting to be felt in

South Africa, proving herself a force in the media space.

CHERI-ANN JAMES

James is currently the editor of the Daily Dispatch n e w s p a p e r,

based in East London. Since joining the Dispatch team in 2007,

Cheri-Ann has held a number of positions including assistant news

editor, news editor, managing editor, executive editor and deputy

Matric pupils from the

Kutlwanong Centre for

celebrated this past weekend at

a special awards ceremony at

The Venue at Hemingways for

their excellent 2021 results.

The class of 2021 excelled in

their year-end National Senior

enduring Covid-19, online

classes and a lack of physical

classes and in-person

interaction with teachers.

Matric pupils who took part

in the programme achieved a

100% pass rate for both maths

and physical science.

About 92% of the pupils

scored higher than 50% for

maths and 90% of them a b ove

50% for physical science. The

pupils also achieved a 95%

B a ch e l o r ’s pass rate, with many

gaining admission to top

universities in SA.

At the ceremony, awards

were also presented to pupils in

each grade in several categories,

including Top Achiever and

Most Improved Learner.

Maya Makanjee, chair of

Datatec Foundation, described

Kutlawanong as an effective,

well-run organisation.

“We are pleased that this

long-established partnership has

produced hundreds of

distinctions in maths and

science, as well as Bachelor,

diploma and higher certificate

passes, and, most importantly,

university graduates.

“Maths education faces

many challenges in our country,

but we believe that with longterm

thinking, consistency and

like-minded partners, we can

make a meaningful difference,“

said Makanjee. Yomelela Nelani

shared some words of wisdom

with the class of 2022,

reminding them of the power of

p raye r.

“The class of 2021 was a

class of prayer.

“When we first started in

Grade 10, our teacher would

start the class by reading a Bible

verse and praying.

“It is very important to be

focused.

“There are unhealthy

relationships that we can avoid

by being focused on our studies.

“Studying opens you up to

many opportunities,” said

Nelani.

Lithemba Somta, who was

BCM’s top achiever for 2021,

also had some words of wisdom

for his peers.

“I am very happy with the

recognition I have received from

Ku t l wa n o n g .

“My advice for the class of

2022 is simple. I wouldn’t be

here without hard work and the

help of the teachers.

“They taught us very well,

they taught us skills to master

exams, so listen to them

because they will guide you to

where you need to be,” said

Somta.

Inathi Melento, who is

studying towards a Bachelor of

Medicine and a Bachelor of

Surgery, offered study tips and

advice on how to achieve good

marks.

“In my study routine , I

would often read up about

topics before we covered them

in class.

“I would write down any

questions I had and ask the

teacher when I got to class.

“I believe that time

management is also very

important. I spent a lot of my

time studying at Kutlwanong.

“I also recommend watching

summaries of the work on

Yo u Tu b e ,” said Melento.

Kutlwanong Centre for

Maths, Science and Technology

has 16 centres and has assisted

more than 32,000 pupils in

maths and science.

Family’s home damaged

by fire, hard hit in storm

Strong winds, heavy rains leave many BCM residents homeless

SIPHOSIHLE DYONASE

Asevere unexpected

storm which hit parts of

the Buffalo City Metro

on Monday August 7 caused

huge damage to many homes,

leaving desperate families out

in the cold.

Buffalo City Metropolitan

Municipality spokesperson

Samkelo Ngwenya said disaster

management and human

settlements teams had been

dispatched to several areas that

had been affected by Monday’s

storm.

“Strong winds and

persistent rains blew [off] roof

tops and [toppled] trees,

flooded homes and swept away

shacks across the metro.

“Residents can contact the

GO!PEOPLE METRO

municipality’s disaster team or

their local ward councillors for

assistance towards accessing

nearby community halls.

“The metro is issuing an

urgent warning to communities

to be on high alert and those in

low lying areas to evacuate as

rains continue to persist,” he

said.

A Milner Estate family of

seven whose home had been

badly damaged by a fire earlier,

were hard hit during the storm.

The family said they still

needed clothes and food

donations as well as assistance

to rebuild their house.

Johanna Kirton, 59, said

their three-roomed home had

consisted of a lounge, kitchen

and bathroom.

H ow e ve r, they were n ow

only left with the kitchen.

The roof over the rest of the

house was destroyed, and they

have had to put a tent over the

section of the house where they

are now all huddled.

“Th e r e ’s only one piece

where it’s not raining where the

EMPOWERING MOTORISTS: The Motor Industry Association

Miwa workshop for

women to cover basic

vehicle maintenance

TAMMY FRAY

The local Motor Industry

Workshop Association (Miwa)

is set to host a workshop for

women on basic car

maintenance during Women’s

Month on August 25.

Miwa chairperson Teresa

Spenser-Higgs says all women

should know the basics of car

maintenance and what to do in

the event of a breakdown.

She says the Miwa

workshop is aimed at changing

the stereotypical view that

women are ignorant when it

comes to their vehicle’s

maintenance.

“Women sometimes have

their husbands or their

boyfriends talking over them

about what they think may be

wrong with the car when we

often see in the workshop that

women know their cars and

they need to be confident about

that, so we want to build this

confidence up with

k n ow l e d g e ,” she says.

The scope of the workshop

will cover when to check and

how to change a vehicle’s oil

and water;what different smells

emitted from a car signal; h ow

to change a flat tyre; what to

look out for when choosing a

credible workshop; and what a

ve h i c l e ’s different warning

“Sometimes women and all

motorists in general will hear

sounds coming from their car

but will delay attending to it

because they think it will cost

too much or they think they

wo n ’t be able to know enough

to fix it,” she says.

“We want to change this

mindset because when you

know just the basics about your

car, it quiets that anxiety and

you can then make sure the

problem is fixed.

“If you delay fixing your car

the problem will just get

The workshops will be held

at the Caltex workshop in

Do research to avoid

crowdfunding scams

While most are true causes assisting many, some are not

FAITH MTWANA

Crowdfunding for school and club sports trips has

become increasingly popular, with more coaches

and parents seeing it as a viable option to raise

money to pay for their children’s participation at away

games.

Crowdfunding is defined as the practice of funding a

project or venture by raising money from a large number of

people who each contribute a relatively small amount.

Platforms such as Go Fund Me, Candystick and Go Get

Funding are available to make the process run smoothly.

While most people who make use of this practice are

legitimate, unfortunately there are those who see it as a

means to scam people of their hard-earned money.

There are many crowdfunding pleas trending on social

media, and while most are true causes, some are not.

To avoid being scammed, there are a few things to look

out for.

It is best to do your own research into the people or

organisations making the requests before giving a

donation.

VISION BOARD

MANIFESTING AMBITIONS: There are

still a few spaces left for the vision board

Sport for Lives, a community-driven organisation, is

dedicated to facilitating opportunities for individual sports

players and teams.

Jonathan Kruger, co-founder and director of Sport for

Lives, says it is important for people to do some research

before they send money to any organisation.

“It is important to identify the need and the cause that is

presented.

“Find out about the organisation’s track record.

“There will always be those that try to take chances, and

unfortunately people will sometimes fall victim to scams.

“But if you do research and find there are details that

are not clear, or unverified, it is best to stay safe and find

other ways to help the cause,” said K r u g e r.

Sport for Lives makes use of crowdfunding through

legitimate and transparent campaigns.

The organisation also has auditors to ensure that all

financial donations are transparent and traceable.

The organisation has an excellent track record of

running campaigns for different people and teams, and

Samaritan plans to

use BCM land for safe

havens, food gardens

TAMMY FRAY

Lucille Doyle is a caregiver to all who

need help in the Parkside community.

She has run feeding schemes in the

area for the past four years, and

recently initiated plans to erect

temporary structures as safe havens for

the vulnerable and n e e dy.

D oy l e ’s efforts to provide meals

every Sunday for her community have

been heralded across the city, earning

her awards such as the Local Hero

awa r d .

She says that the need is becoming

greater and that apart from hunger, the

Parkside area is plagued with social ills

that require attention.

According to Doyle, there are no

safe spaces in the area for children to

play, mothers are subject to domestic

abuse and have nowhere to turn to,

and those with substance abuse

problems have no safe places to sleep

or food to eat.

Doyle says her community

depends on her to find ways and

means to address these issues.

As such, she applied to BCM to

adopt a piece of land next to the

Parkside library, which had been used

as an illegal dumping site, to house the

temporary safe haven structures for

women and children.

The land will also be used for

growing vegetables.

“You may not build on the land you

adopt so that’s why I need materials

like containers because those

structures can just be taken apart again

once you have to move them away.

“BCM gives us five years to prove

what we can do with the space so I

need to make sure we use the space to

the best of its potential for our

c o m m u n i t y,” Doyle said.

“I am aware of people who adopted

“Th a t ’s why if people want to help

me with what I am doing at my spot,

they must not give me money, we only

want donations of food or of materials

for temporary structures,” she said.

Councillor Shandre Hoffman says

BCM’s adoption system gives

communities the opportunity to

preserve their own areas by

establishing food gardens, parks or

soup kitchens.

However, she says it is illegal to use

these site to generate money.

Doyle says adopted spots should

stand in the gap of missing social

services.

She encourages communities with

adopted spots to join in efforts to

provide food for people in their areas,

given that local volunteers like herself

do not receive donations to feed

people daily.

of land next to the Parkside library will

birthday with breast cancer patients

GO CORRESPONDENT

Reach for Recovery (R4R)

celebrated its 55th birthday on

July 27.

To join in the national

celebrations, the East London

branch of R4R visited the J2

ward at Frere Hospital where

R4R volunteers shared birthday

cake with the patients and staff.

Volunteers Maureen Smith,

Rosalie Weare and Unity Jegels,

who is the EL R4R chair, created

a jovial atmosphere with pink

balloons and tasty cake s e r ve d

to the grateful patients.

The captive audience

listened to a brief presentation

on the organisation and sang

Happy Birthday in English and

isiXhosa.

Jegels said the excitement

and appreciation on the

patients’ faces was a joy to

behold, and many who face

long-term hospital stays asked

for more such visits.

She said the organisation

was started on July 27 1967 with

the purpose of providing

emotional care and practical

support to breast cancer

patients.

It is run by trained volunteers

who are breast cancer

s u r v ivo r s .

The principle premise R4R

operates on is: women who

have experienced their own

cancer journeys gives freely

of their time and experience

to support and assist other

women diagnosed with breast

c a n c e r.

Jegels said patients were

visited before or after surgery

and supplied with a comfort

pack consisting of a support

cushion, a bag to hold the portau-vac,

a temporary prosthesis

(softie) and informative

l i t e ra t u r e .

After all treatment is

completed, mastectomy

patients who attend state

hospitals may approach R4R to

be fitted with a silicon prosthesis

as part of the Ditto project.

Contact R4R if you, a family

member or friend is diagnosed

with breast cancer or booked for

a mastectomy by calling 073-

Community worker’s plan addresses

problems through child care services

Training educare teachers provides new opportunities for women and children in vital sphere

TAMMY FRAY

Roz Stafford has been a

community worker for 12

years in the Buffalo Flats

area and during Covid she felt

urged to tackle development in

the educare sphere, in turn

fostering two years of fruitful

development for children and

unemployed women in her

area.

Her educare centre, Joy to

the World, was founded in

February 2021 and has provided

a safe space for children to learn

and play as well as for aspiring

educare facilitators to study and

intern towards earning an Early

Childhood Development

teacher training certificate.

Stafford’s work in her

community over the years

prompted her to note the

problems facing women and

children, especially in terms of

their development. Stafford

believes there is a lack of

educare facilitators in the

industry currently who have

been adequately trained. She

s ay s educare facilitators start

centres in the city and then

unethically prioritise financial

gains instead of teaching and

d e ve l o p m e n t .

To cut costs and save time,

centre managers employ untrained

staff to watch over the

children which she says prompts

the abuse and neglect

encountered at daycare centers.

FRESH START: Joy to the World educare facility founder Roz

Stafford is using her centre to develop strong foundations

During the week, Stafford

runs the operations of Joy to the

World and over the weekends

the centre hosts classes with the

Edu-Builld Institute for those

studying towards the Early

Childhood Development

teacher training certificate.

The classes are facilitated by

retired educator John Wesley,

and learning outcomes are

aligned with ETDP and SAQA

requirements. The certificate

enables qualified students to

open their own preschools,

teach in preschools or become

au pairs overseas. The

programme offers NQF level 4

and 5 and is available for

anyone to enrol for, provided

participants have schooling up

until grade 10.

Once the certificate is

complete and students have

achieved NQF level 5 (240

credits) they can continue with

the BEd degree which will allow

them to teach in primary school.

Stafford explains that this

route to a profession has

enabled women in her

community to gain employment

experience, discover a field of

teaching they enjoy and has

provided those who do not have

matric certificates with a route

NEW PATH: Educare students receive training that will empower both themselves and chi l d re n

in their community

towards establishing a fulfilling

professional life.

She hopes in future that the

synergy between the centre and

training will continue to grow

and produce more safe spaces

for children as well as job

opportunities for educators.

“The next level is to open

preschools in every area where

our practitioners can teach. It is

senseless to train people and

there are no jobs for them.

“This is where we invite the

private sector to partner with us.

We want safe and very modern

facilities to stay in touch with

the times. We will also be

partnering with various

institutions to set up skills

development centres where we

can train artisans and

e n g i n e e r s .”

Stafford currently enables

students from the Edu-Build

programme to work as interns at

Joy to the World in return for a

stipend, but her ambition is to

enrol enough pupils to be able

to pay interns a salary.

PROMOTING

U N D E R S TA N D I N G : Dr

Madeleine Muller, a family

physician at Cecelia

Makewhane Hopsital and a

senior lecturer at Walter

Sisulu University, presented a

talk on Women’s Day, August

9, highlighting the

importance of productive

sexual health education and

conversations between

parents and children P i c t u re :

TAMMY FRAY

Advice for parents on

healthy development of

adolescent sexuality

TAMMY FRAY

This women’s day on August 9

Dr Madeleine Muller presented

a public community lecture for

parents in East London on how

to support the healthy

development of sexuality and

sexual well-being in their

teenagers.

Drawing on the latest

understanding of neuroscience

and brain development, she

explained to those attending

how best to help teenagers

develop communication tools

around sex and relationships

and improve sexual health

outcomes.

Muller has spoken on

various occasions about the

neuroscience that informs

behaviours and she makes

important distinction between

the survival and the creative

brain. Survival brain is a phrase

she uses to describe operating

from the limbic part of the brain

and the behaviours this results

in are those that tend to inflame

tense and difficult situations

such as criticism, aggression,

hostility, anger and so forth.

The creative brain, however,

allows for “dual thinking” and

this occurs in the pre-frontal

cortex and motivates behaviour

that is more reflective, meaning

that behaviour is self-regulated

and actions are considered

before they are carried out.

This neuroscience is

important to establish given that

often parents tend to respond to

topics relating to sex and

sexuality from their survival

brain, resulting in conversations

regarding sexuality with

children that are awkward,

hostile, vague and unhelpful,

leading to entrenchment of

myths, ignorance, shame and

anxiety regarding sexuality and

gender among ch i l d r e n ,

especially adolescents.

To mitigate this and to break

the cycle of shame regarding sex

in a domestic environment,

Muller’s talk detailed the

distinctions between gender,

biology and the role these play

in sexual reproductive health.

She detailed the distinctions

between gender and sex, the

spectrum of sexualities as well

as the myths surrounding

sexuality that have been

informed by religious doctrine,

biased scientific studies,

criminalisation, homophobia,

transphobia or cultural taboos.

In terms of biological factors

that influence sexual health

among children, Muller stresses

that it is important for parents to

understand that adolescent boys

tend to be spontaneously

stimulated due to the excess

testosterone powering their

m a t u ra t i o n .

Adolescent girls, however,

tend to context response when it

comes to sex as the hormone

powering their development is

oxytocin.

What this implies for each

one’s development is that boys

will tend to be more curious

about the act of sex itself,

seeking out visual stimulus and

so forth, whereas for young girls,

the interest in sex will stem

mainly from a need to feel

adored and validated, resulting

in curiosity more to do with

what is referred to as a “crush”

and very little attention is

dedicated to the act of sex itself.

These differences inform

how parents should approach

discussions relating to sexual

reproductive health with their

children and will give parents

an accurate estimation of

where, at the level of biology,

there children may be most

curious about the act of sexual

reproduction and all that is

associated with it.

Muller encourages parents

to start consent conversations

early on with children in their

households to establish the

practice of asking for consent

and being respectful of

boundaries in all aspects of life

and not just with respect to sex.

Organ donors save lives, give hope

WEST BANK MARKET

Recipients share life-changing

experiences during national

awareness month, in August

SIPHOSIHLE DYONASE

BUSINESSES GIVING BACK: Sponsored by Junk Junkies, the West Bank Market was held over the weekend of 6 August, giving

local tradesmen in the area an opportunity to sell their goods and generate an income. As discussed in previous editions of the

GO!, the West Bank community is struggling under the weight of unemployment and food insecurity and a portion of the

proceeds of the market goes toward a charity in need in the area. Junk Junkies owner Aiden Smith says that as a result of the

market, R1,000 was raised for the BIC (Because I Can) Non-profit Organisation run by Jackie Godfrey. The next Market Day will

take place on September 2 from 7am-1pm at 1 Hood Street, West Bank Village, East London. Pictures: SUPPLIED

August is National Organ and Tissue Awareness Month and

Transplant Education for Living Legacies (Tell) is on a

mission to create awareness about the vital need for organ

donation.

Tell was founded and is run by patients who have first-hand

experience of the life-changing effect of an organ transplant.

One organ donor can save eight lives.

This month, Tell is encouraging everyone to have the

conversation with their loved ones and make it known if they

wish to one day become an organ donor.

Fawn Kruger, Te l l ’s marketing director, was born with cystic

fibrosis, a chronic illness that destroyed her lungs and made it

necessary for her to have a double lung transplant in 2013.

“I don’t know how much time I had left but I knew if I didn’t

get lungs soon, I would die.

“My donor didn’t give me a second chance, they gave me a

first chance at life and I am forever grateful,” Kruger said.

The waiting list for a kidney in SA is 12 to 15 years, and while

patients wait, they need to get treatment at a dialysis centre, 12

hours a week.

Every year, 20,000 new patients are diagnosed with kidney

failure in SA, and the cost of sustaining one person on dialysis

per annum is about R280,000.

If more transplants take place, it opens up space for more

people to get dialysis treatment, as in the state sector, dialysis

treatments are rationed; only patients eligible for a transplant will

have access to dialysis.

Stella de Kock, Tell’s MD, was diagnosed with end stage renal

failure in 2011 and has been on hemo-dialysis since then.

She has been waiting for a kidney transplant for 11 years

since 2012, and has decided to apply her skills and experience at

Tell to raise awareness about organ and tissue donation.

“Dialysis keeps me alive and I’m grateful for the technology,

but you don’t get to take a break and it gets to me, especially

when I need to do dialysis on a public holiday,” said De Kock.

The costs are minimal when opting to become a donor,

according to Tell, and are all covered by the recipient’s medical

aid or the state hospital.

Transplantation is a cost-effective treatment readily available.

“It may take years of medical technology to come up with an

alternative treatment option so we need to make use of organ

donation while we can.

“There are no age restrictions on organ donation and even

people with chronic diseases can be donors.

“The transplant team will assess the donor’s suitability at the

time of death. Everyone can give something,” states Tell.

Alice Vosloo, a financial director at Tell and recipient of two

double lung transplants, was born with cystic fibrosis, and had a

double lung transplant in 2008 at the age of 23, and then again

in 2017 at the age of 33.

She is the first person in SA to survive two bilateral lung

transplants, and has participated in three World Transplant

Games.

“Currently I have two part-time jobs, I exercise quite a bit, I

try to do as much for Tell as my time allows. Not a day goes by

that I take breathing for granted,” Vosloo said.

LOVE IS IN THE AIR

Good reason you need

a furry friend in your life

Dogs are great companions bringing comfort, joy, and security

FAITH MTWANA

August is National Dog Month and our

furry friends deserve all the love and

appreciation they can get.

Dogs are great and loyal companions

and often, when we feel alone, sad or

stressed, their love and presence can

comfort us.

Cuddling and petting your dog can

bring a level of comfort that makes life

e a s i e r.

This has been scientifically proven by

an Australian study that concluded that

dog ownership reduces loneliness.

Dogs can also provide a distraction for

someone going through a tough time in

their lives.

Following an exercise routine with your

MAN’S BEST FRIEND: August is

National Dog Month Picture: SUPPLIED

dog can also help distract you from

negative thoughts, keeping your mind and

body busy.

Scientists at Washington State

University discovered that just 10 minutes

petting a dog can have a significant impact

on a person’s wellbeing.

Dogs are also protective and provide a

sense of security.

Dogs communicate predominantly

through touch, and this is one of the many

reasons that dogs and babies get along.

Dogs are naturally protective of babies

and watching them grow together is a

rewarding experience.

Dogs can also help alleviate social

a n x i e t y.

If you take your dog for a walk or to a

park, it allows dog owners to interact with

each other over their shared love of their

furry friends.

Lastly, dogs are full of fun. It is always

fun to watch a dog play and discover the

world around them.

Essential health checks every

woman should have often

TOGETHER FOREVER: Graham and Anna Simpson celebrate

50 years with family and friends on August 5. They were

married in 1972 at the Methodist Church in Oxford Street.

They are blessed with three children, Yolande, Ramona and

Morne, in-laws Marie and Leonard, and seven grandkids. They

are still in love as much as the first time they met. Graham says:

‘My loving wife, I love you.’ Picture: SUPPLIED

SIPHOSIHLE DYONASE

This Women’s Month, Pharma

Dynamics advocates for self-care and

encourages women to make their

health a priority by scheduling overdue

health checks.

Women take on many duties such

as being a mother, wife and career

woman, and in doing so may neglect

their own health.

Nicole Jennings, spokesperson for

Pharma Dynamics, says even though

you may feel healthy, you might not be.

“Health screenings are generally done

when you’re healthy.

“The aim is to detect disease at an

early stage before symptoms become

noticeable.

“In most cases, treating a disease

early on provides a better prognosis.

“Regular health checks can also

help to reduce risk factors and/or treat

abnormalities that could lead to more

serious disease later on.”

She says that a list of relevant

screenings applicable to someone

changes with age.

However, here’s a list of 10 essential

health check-ups every woman should

prioritise:

Blood pressure screening

“It’s a myth that high blood pressure

mainly affects men or the aged,” s ay s

Je n n i n g s .

“Research conducted in SA shows

that high blood pressure rates among

women have climbed in the last two

d e c a d e s .”

A study sample comprising 5,477

men and 7,740 women pointed to an

increase in hypertension prevalence

from 27% to 45% in men and 31% to

48% in women.

High blood pressure is called the

silent killer because it does not have

symptoms, but has a devastating effect

on your health.

“Almost all diseases, disabilities and

deaths caused by high blood pressure

are preventable. “So, roll up your sleeve

and get your blood pressure checked.

“This can be done at most pharmacy

clinics or at your GP,” says Jennings.

A blood pressure screening should

be done annually from the age of 18.

Cholesterol check

“This check assesses your risk for

developing heart disease or stroke,

HEALTH MATTERS: Pharma

Dynamics is encouraging women to

look after their health

which you should have done at least

every five years from the age of 20.

“However, if you have a history of

cardiovascular disease in your family or

suffer from it, you should have it done

more regularly.

“Normal cholesterol levels should

be less than 5 mmol/l,” says Jennings.

Blood glucose

Women aged 45 and older should get

their blood glucose checked every three

years to detect their risk for diabetes.

“A fasting plasma glucose reading

of 6.1 - 6.9 mmol/l and higher may

indicate that you’re prediabetic, while

anything over E7 mmol/l indicates

d i a b e t e s ,” says Jnenings.

HIV

Given the high rate of HIV/Aids in SA

and the Eastern Cape, it’s recommended

that women get tested once a year. This

involves a simple prick test or swab of

the cheek that can be done at a GP or

clinic.

Pap smear

“A pap smear is recommended every

three years, starting from the age of 25

to 65,” says Jennings.

“Your doctor will take cells from

your cervix with a small brush, which

then gets sent to a lab for analysis.

“There they will look for changes or

abnormalities that may lead to cervical

c a n c e r.”

M a m m o g ra m s

This is a screening tool for breast

cancer, which involves compressing the

breast between plates so that X-ray

images can be taken.

“As you age, your risk for breast

cancer increases. Women should start

annual screenings at age 40 and can

then switch to biannual screenings at

age 55,” says Jennings.

It is also advised to do monthly selfexaminations

at home where you can

check for lumps, bumps or any

ch a n g e s .

Bone density

To screen for osteoporosis, a bone

density test is recommended for women

from age 65 and men over the age of

70, but those with risk factors, like

fractures or low body weight, should be

screened earlier.

“The frequency of the test varies

depending on bone density, but your

doctor will be able to advise you on

how often you should have it done.”

The test requires you to lie flat on a

table with your legs positioned over a

padded box, while a low-dose X-ray

machine captures images of your

bones.

Colon screening

The colon should be scanned for cancer

from 50 years of age, and repeated

every 10 years after that depending on

an individual’s risk factors. It can be

done at the doctor’s office or in hospital

by way of a sigmoidoscopy where a

lighted tube and camera are inserted in

the anus to examine the lower colon. A

colonoscopy involves a longer tube that

examines the entire colon.

Skin checks

“In SA, about 20,000 cases of skin

cancer are reported annually, which

makes it the most common cancer in

the country. Therefore, selfexaminations

should be done monthly

at home to check for any new moles or

changes to existing moles. If you find

anything out of the ordinary, rather have

it checked out by a GP or

d e r m a t o l o g i s t .”

Dental checks

Regular dental check-ups can prevent

plaque build-up, cavities and gum

disease, which makes seeing the dentist

at least once a year, a must.

“Don’t put off making a doctor’s

appointment for yourself because

yo u ’re too busy taking care of everyone

e l s e ,” says Jennings.

“Taking care of yourself should be at

the top of your list. If you’re not taking

care of your own health, how are you

supposed to take care of others? Putting

your health first is essential!”

Tete joins efforts to

help Selborne pupil

World champion and local gym support fundraising Ubuko campaign

TAMMY FRAY

As organisations, schools and

BCM residents continue to

support the f u n d ra i s i n g

efforts for Selborne pupil Ubuko

Mpotulo, local world boxing

ch a m p i o n Zolani Tete, and fitness

professionals from Body 3.0 did

their part at the College’s derby day

on August 6.

Ubuko,14, who is in Grade 8,

lost both his legs and seven of his

fingers after contracting viral

meningitis when he was three.

Body 3.0 set up a Blaze pods

reflex training machine, allowing

those attending the day to test their

reflex skills while donating to the

campaign.

NGO Sport for Lives

chairperson, Jonathan Kruger, a

Selborne teacher, said the m a ch i n e

worked on peripheral vision and

reaction time, recording a c c u ra cy

and speed.

This involves participants having

to hit buttons that light up.

For every “hit’ made, Body 3.0

pledged R1 towards the fundraising

campaign for Ubuko.

Brendan Kickelbien, operations

manager at Body 3.0 said: “We used

the Blaze pods so we could also

show parents how much children

actually enjoy this kind of exercise.

“Mind you, the parents also got

into the Blaze pods. It’s a way to

make sure they’re being stimulated

in a way that nurtures their central

nervous system’s development.

“The way our eyes move around

and focus directly relate to all sport

skills, and training our eyes also

helps with problem-solving and

spatial awareness.”

Tete, who encouraged people to

support the campaign, also engaged

with young fans to spread

awareness about the need to use

sport to bring about social justice.

Kruger said Tete also hoped to

work with Sport for Lives in future to

improve the training and gym

facilities for boxers in NU1 in

Mdantsane, where he is from.

Tete is the first Eastern Cape

boxer to have won three major

world titles – the IBF, WBO and

Commonwealth titles. He is now

waiting for the opportunity to

contest for the World Boxing title

which his management team

confirms should be in November/

December t his year.

Sponsors of the event included,

Tyremart East London Group,

PHYZEEK GEEK, C h i r o p ra c t i c

Group, Juice Co Junction, among

others.

Knickelbien said there was a

great need for everyone to do their

part in helping those in need.

“The Ubuko 300 campaign is

just the start for us.

“We ’re teaming up with Jono

Kruger from Selborne College to see

what we can do for Zolani and the

community he grew up in.

“Our goal is to help build up a

proper boxing gym for Zolani In

CELEBRATING WOMEN IN SPORT: Mzomhle and

John Bisseker senior secondary schools clash in the

first ever ELCLFA women’s football League Cup

games for high schools Picture: TAMMY FRAY

Wo m e n ’s league

hosts schools event

TAMMY FRAY

This year marked the historic introduction of the East

London Central Local Football Association wo m e n ’s

football league at schooling level, and on August 9 in

honour of women’s development in sport, the league

teams competed for their first ever League Cup and for

the coveted top four positions on the log.

Eight teams from schools across Buffalo City formed

part of the fixtures, including Canaan Academy,

E b e n e z e r, John Bisseker , Mzomhle and Greenpoint

senior secondary schools, and Centre of Excellence,

BCMM Inner City and Clarendon Girls’ high schools.

The creation of a women’s league earlier this year was

framed as ELCLFA’a pilot project and is part of their longterm

initiative to promote gender parity in local football.

Vuyo Zambodla, ELCLFA vice-president and head of

youth affairs, says there were multiple clashes between

the league fixtures and the school academic programme

and in future they would probably focus on pupils from

grade 8 upwards in order to spend more time developing

younger players while alleviating the tensions between

sporting and academic commitments for matrics.

“The other thing we also learnt is that a lot of these

schools are under-resourced. Transport, kit and coaching

costs money, which some of these teachers are paying

out of their own pockets,” he said. “There were teams

who could not make it . We will work towards alleviating

this in future so that the league can grow.”

Local coaches are grateful for the development in

wo m e n ’s soccer, but believe database verification must

be introduced to ensure those playing are in fact pupils

from the school they are playing for.
