He explained the plant would bethree kilometres from the ocean on afarming site in Desainagar.

The credibility of Umgeni Waterand CSIR was also questioned byRawheath who, with other residentsclaimedtheCSIRwaspaidbyUmgeniWater and that Umgeni Water was40% government funded.

“This is just another multibillion-rand project that you want us to tagalong on. We will not allow govern-ment to once again make its ownmoney for itself,” said Rawheath.

Strikers arrested>> Protesters andleadership lose nerveKAVEEL SINGH

PROTESTERS who reigned chaos on theTongaat CBD last Wednesday were ar-rested by swift police action with the

streets being cleared by 11am.Twenty fivemembers of the publicwere ar-

rested and charged for public violence anddamage to property. One of them includedward committee and ANC branch executivecommittee member Zamani Ntuli.

Protesters,fromtheEmonaareaofTongaat,converged on the eThekwinimunicipal officesin Tongaat demanding to meet mayor JamesNxumalo.

Theprotesterswereangryabout thedeathsof a teenager and two men on Tuesday.

A 19-year-old man was electrocuted whileillegally making a connection to the electricitysupply. He fell into a swamp, his 23-year-oldbrother tried to savehim, butwas also electro-cuted.A17-year-oldboytriedtorescuethetwo,butsuccumbedtohis injuriesenroute toa localclinic.

The protesters wanted to be connected tothe electricity grid to prevent illegal connec-tions and similar tragedies.

eThekwini Metro mayor James Nxumalosaid in a statement onWednesday that he hadreceived a report from themunicipality’s elec-tricitydepartment,whichindicatedthatanille-gal connection was responsible for the loss oflife.

“I sendmy condolences to the families wholost their loved ones. Thismust be viewed as alesson to our people that illegal electricity con-nectionsarenotonlybadfortheeconomyofthecity but are a hazard to the lives of the people

who reside in these communities.”Speaking to the Weekly, ward councillor

MichaelAbraham firstsaidhewasalsosympa-thetic to the plight of the people.

“Firstly,Iamverysadaboutthreeofourpeo-ple passing away in this manner. It is indeed atragedy.”

However,Abrahamsaidthecommunityhadno reason to be angered at him. According toAbraham,aBidAdjudicationCommittee(BAC)hadbeensetupto implementcontractors to in-stall electricity in the area.

“The community is well aware of this. Andsince theywere informed of the BAC, the com-mittee selected three different contractors toelectrify the area.”

Explaining why he did not attend the sceneonTuesday,Abrahamsaidhehadbeenadvisedby police not to go to the area.

“I had tovisit the station first because Ihavepreviously hadmy life threatened by people inEmona. Police told me that an angered grouphad gathered and advised me to keep away.”

In a strange twist, Abrahamwas appointedas the defending attorney for the 25 that werearrested.

“Our regional ANC askedme to assist thosemembers. At the end of the day they are ourmembers.”

Also commenting on the matter, ZamaniNtuli, one of the arrested who is also a wardcommitteeandANCbranchexecutivecommit-teemember said the communitywas “angryatthe time”.

When asked about the councillor being hislawyer Ntuli said: “Without the councillor wecannot do much. He is the leader for the area.We do not fully understand why he is our law-yer. He was just appointed to us. He told us hewill help us.”

Ntuli didnothaveany criticismofAbrahamwhen asked for comment on the councillor.

Eye institute brings sight>> Underprivileged children to see clearly againKAVEEL SINGH

THE Brien Hold Vision Institute and Ster-Kinekor, the Departments of Health andEducation and the South African Opto-

metric Association (SAOA) have partnered tolaunch the South African School Eye HealthProject.

The project was launched at the GatewaySter-Kinekor Cinema on Thursday, 9 October.

The programme aims to support the imple-mentation of eye health services within thegovernment’s national Integrated SchoolHealth Programme, by providing eye care tothousandsofdisadvantagedpupils infiveprov-inces-KwaZulu-Natal,EasternCape,NorthernCape, Mpumalanga and Gauteng.

The institute plans to screen about 150 000children, and provide free spectacles to 7 500of thosesuffering fromrefractiveerrorand lowvision.

Theinstitute willalsobelaunchingotherini-tiatives including health promotions andeducational messages to reach an even widergroup of children and adults in the targetedprovinces.

According to Professor Kovin Naidoo, theGlobal programmedirector for theBrienHold-en Vision Institute, the School Eye Health Pro-gramme addresses a “desperate need”.

“Ourcountryfacesmanysocialandeconom-ic challenges. In such a context of competingneeds, it is critical that civil society, businessand government work together.

“TheBrienHoldenVisionInstituteapplaudsthe concern and caring that Ster-Kinekor andSAOAhave shown in supporting government’sIntegrated School Health Programme.

“This public private partnership is a qualityinvestment in the future of our children,” saidthe professor.

It is estimated that six out of 10 children inSouth Africa with reduced vision can be cor-rected with glasses, yet only 20% of those chil-dren needing glasses have them.

Considering that an estimated of up to 80%of what children learn is assimilated through

error and low vision.“Workingwithourpartnersinthisinitiative,

it isouraimtorenderthesemuch-neededservi-ces in public schools as a pilot programme ini-tially,inpartnershipwiththevariousprovincialdepartments.

Ster-Kinekor CEOFiazMohamed said sightwas perceived as a luxury that has been takenfor granted.

“Beforeweundertookthispartnership, Ididnot realise the need for something of this na-ture.”

Ster-Kinekor customers can contribute tothe School Eye Health Project either whenbooking online on www.sterkinekor.com or atone of the self-service terminals in the cinemafoyer.

The public donate from as little as R2.50 toVision Mission when prompted during thebooking process.

Water restrictions to hit the north

THE eThekwini Municipalitywill be implementingwater re-strictions in the north because

of limited supply in the area.According to the statement re-

leased a few days ago, the far north-ern region of eThekwini is suppliedfrom Umgeni Water’s Hazelmerewater works.

“Umgeni Water has requested arestriction in the Hazelmere supplyarea, as the weather forecasts areshowing strong prediction of the EINinoeffectoccurringtowardstheendof this year.

“This is likely to result in impactsassociated with a draught cycle.

“Water levels in the HazelmereDamhavebeendroppingsinceMarchand have reached a critical level of51% according to eThekwiniMunici-pality.

“To minimise the impact, UmgeniWater has requested level one waterrestrictionstobeappliedintheHazel-

reduce their demand by at least 10%to recover the water level in the damand avoid any further restrictions.

“Themunicipality is also checkingforwater leaksandburstpipesorwa-termeters to reduceanypossiblewa-ter losses.

“Waterwill be available, however,we urge you to use water very wiselyduringthisperiodasthesupplyofwa-ter will be limited. It would really as-sist if we could reduce our demandover the next few months,” said thestatement.

The areas affected include Veru-lam, Grange, Redcliffe, EverestHeights, Waterloo, Trenance,Tongaat, Westbrook, La Mercy, SeaTides, Hambanati, Emona, Bur-breeze and Umdloti.

Water saving tips• Do not water the garden.• Avoid washing cars or wash us-

ing bucket water instead of a hosepipe.• Do not fill the swimming pools.

• Do not leave the tap runningwhen brushing your teeth or for anyother activities.

• A two-minute shower is betterthan bathing.

• Insteadofwashing clothes everyday with half load, wash every alter-nate day with a full load.

• Whenwashingvegetables,washthem in a dish, instead of washingvegetables under running water.

• Read your meter daily to ensurethere are no internal leaks in yourproperty.

• If you are going away close themain valve.

• Whenwashingdishesdonotuserunning water, rather fill a basin.

• Report leaks to our call centre• Use water sparingly andwisely,

do not waste water in any way.The municipality urges residents

to continue reporting illegal waterconnections and water leaks to 08013 13 013.

SHANNON HOPKINS

AFTER witnessing poachers andtheir hunting dogs in action twoweeks in a row, residents are nowfighting back.

Poaching activity has been seenintheopenlandinfrontof theBalli-to BayMall bordering the SimbithiEco Estate.

Residents contacted local wild-life authorities and the UmhlaliSAPS to form an informal anti-poachinggroup.Those living inthearea will keep authorities in-formed.

The Glen resident, Danie Tal-jaard, said he and his wife sawpoachers intheveld twoweeksagoin what they assumed was a “suc-cessful hunting venture”.

He said the poachers went intothebushabout200metresfromhishome and therewas a lot of noise.

“Wecouldnotseeanything,butthedogswentwildand therewerechopping sounds, so it seemed asthough they had caught some-thing.Poaching isnotonandwearenot going to tolerate it,” said Tal-jaard.

He said he sawa youngmanandadogagainlastThursday,buthedidnot appear to catch anything.

He said his neighbours are alsoon boardwith the anti-poaching ef-fort, and relevant contact numbershave been passed around.

Animals like bushbuck, smallerbuck varieties and rabbits, havebeen seen in the area.

US

IN a class of 90 pupils, we were in a“special” class in grade 2 in a rural schoolin the late nineties.

It was special not in the sense of ourmental challenges, which I don’t think Ihad, but in the way we were made to feelproud to be in a classroom the size of two

and being taught by two teachers at thesame time.

Fast forward to another school in atownship and I found myself in a class ofabout 70 pupils in grade 5 and we weretold how lucky we were to be in such asmall class. There were rumours of modelC schools in town having as few as 20 to30 pupils, but this was disregarded as “ut­ter nonsense” and described as another ur­ban legend.

As the years went by and I changedschools, class numbers varied and some­thing disturbing occurred when I went tohigh school.

We were given a chance to decide ourfutures in grade 9, a year before we weremade to choose subjects we would studyfor the remainder of our schooling careers.I will be honest, I chose physics because

I thought it sounded cool and despised ac­counting as I vaguely knew that my oldersister studied it and she looked miserablewhen she spoke about it.

As luck would have it, I chose a classwith physics and biology and core mathe­matics and accounting. There were sevengrade 10 classes in our school and I was inthe “double science” class. What worriedme, however, was the number of grade 11and grade 12 classes.

At my school in 2006, there were fiveclasses in grade 11 and only three in grade12.

It was constantly reinforced that notall of us would make it, that not all of uswere smart enough, and it was half­knocked out of a lot of us how our dreamsof big houses and many cars were unrealis­tic, but we did not know then how bad it

would really be.If I remember correctly, the 2007 class

grade 11 pupils was a staggering six classes,but two of the classes were so small thatthey had to be merged, leaving us with onlyfive. And in that fateful year, our teacherswent on strike and stayed away from theclassroom for, according to my memory,close to a month, or longer.

Maybe we can blame the strike for thedismal results, or maybe it was bound tohappen, but it was seriously bad.

I failed two subjects and produced dis­mal marks for mathematics that theclients I tutor will cringe about.

Anyway, I was “condoned” as I was con­sidered a victim of the strike and given achance to redeem myself in matric.

So in grade 12 we merged with the classof grade 11 G (we being F) as we both lostmany to the hatchet of failure and the guil­lotine of drop­out ­ and just like that webecame grade 12 D.

We were the guinea pigs for the then

new national senior certificate and no oneknew what to expect from us in terms ofpass rates. Our school had a 95% pass rate(about 200 pupils) in the previous yearand we were under pressure to keep it thatway, or improve.

In the end, we achieved a 96% or sopass rate, but only a quarter of us qualifiedfor university. Of that minute number, asmaller fraction still, got accepted at uni­versity, and fewer still could afford it orwere lucky enough to get financial aid.Gloomier still, of those who held out andcontinued to study, a few finished and gottheir degrees and a lucky few of us havebeen fortunate to secure employment.

Why am I telling this gloomy story ­ itis just an observation I have made, albeitwith a heavy heart.

If this story has a moral to it, it may bethat we have to remember that not all ofus will prosper and that is a reality we caneither choose to accept or change. Thereality is, it exists.

Not all will prosper

Sibusiso Biyela@astrosibs

Time for us toclean up

MY mother raised me to believe that theprinciples and values espoused by the Bi­ble are sacrosanct and that whatever les­sons doled out by the church and its au­thorities are a concomitant part of the reli­gious doctrine meant to enlighten theLord’s flock.

Hence, “cleanliness is Godliness” was asacred “law” that governed my home fromthe living room to the kitchen and into thebedroom. Chaos was avoided and ordermaintained thanks to these three simplewords.

A living room with several comfortablecushions scattered around, couch coverswoven by the most skilful seamstress, acheap vase whose oriental decorative de­

tail gives of the elusive impression of exoticopulence and a wall unit carved from themost expensive wood filled with trophies,family photos and other souvenirs gleanedfrom many a travel up and down the wildand adventurous Zululand coast, is a po­tential field of chaos.

In reality, however those cushions wereused as projectiles, couch covers as ban­danas masking the smirk of a 10­year­oldwould­be villain, the vase an imagined ba­zooka and the wall unit either as the inde­structible edifice of a warlord’s fortress oras a storage facility for the “regiment”, cha­os. And bedrooms were also susceptible tobecoming the stage upon which our youngminds could act out the narrative of copsand robbers, cowboys and Indians super­heroes and villains with the liberty to messup and leave order shattered into a thou­sand pieces, scattered throughout theroom.

The kitchen was for recuperation pur­poses. Filling up, and preparing a sandwichwould leave the place looking just as unti­dy, as if an impi of hungry children havingrun through the place with the same de­structive force as Shaka’s regiments.

mares when my phone’s incessant vibra­tions shook my dream world, I could havesworn it was the bewitching hour when Icame to, but it was only 10pm.

I was receiving a call from an“anonymous”, I guess, reader last week,who asked me to follow up, cover and re­port on the uncleanliness and filth of anarea somewhere in Mkuze.

I’m of the opinion that journalists are“the human voice” ‘infused’ into words tocreate “shades of deeper meaning”, to bor­row from the late Maya Angelou. A scribewhose poetic prowess painted pictures sovivid in her autobiography, I know Why TheCaged Bird Sings, I was moved to tears inthe novel’s sad points and uncontrollablelaughter when celebrating her human vic­tories.

Anonymous caller must have been inneed of that “human voice” to answer,make sense of or at the least portray the“shades of deeper meaning”, with regardsto why would humans continue to existand live normally in an environment asfilthy as his is. I’m speculating.

Unfortunately, I could not go to Mkuzeto see the filth anonymous caller was con­cerned about but KwaMsane, my town­ship, is, for a lack of a better phrase, “a pigsty occupied by pompous middle classfamilies who seem not to care about thecleanliness of their ward”.

Lutherans, Dutch reformists, Catholics,Salvationists, Adventists, Apostles inChrist, Methodists, Nazareth’s and manymore who profess to be God’s children,seem to have forgotten the three simplewords my mother used to maintain orderand cleanliness in our home ­ “cleanlinessis Godliness”.

Before we quickly cast a finger of blameto our leaders and our council, we shouldanswer this ­ what have we done to showto the world what we profess lives in oursouls, our godliness?

MAKHOSANDILE ZULUWITH a new year soon upon us, manyparents have applied to schools of theirchoice in the hope of educating their chil­dren. Yet every year there are those whoare faced with a letter of rejection.

The autonomy of our schools is cru­cial. It is a large factor that contributesto the success of many of our schools.This includes the right to set their ownadmissions policy, among others. Butwhen that autonomy is used to gate­keep or reserve space for certain types ofpupils it becomes a problem.

The law is very clear about schoolsdenying access to a pupil based on dis­criminations set out in our Constitution.The National Education Act says specifi­cally of admissions: “The admission poli­cy of a public school and the administra­tion of admissions by an education de­partment must not unfairly discriminate

in any way against an applicant for ad­mission.”

It is therefore disconcerting thatsome schools seem to routinely deny ad­mission to pupils, who in some cases liveless than a kilometre from the school towhich they have applied, seemingly onthe grounds of race, religion and otherspurious claims. While, in these cases,there will be a follow­up with the Depart­ment of Education, it is worth remindingourselves of the inherent advantages ofdiversity in our schools.

It is therefore the duty of parents,school governing bodies and schoolauthorities to actively strive to provide aholistic and diverse school environmentfor our pupils.

11diwali celebrationsDiwali, the significance>> A celebration of good triumphing over evil

DEEPAWALI or Diwali is one ofthebiggestandthebrightestofall Hindu festivals.

In India it is the festival of lightsthat'smarkedbyfourdaysof celebra-tion, which literally illumines thecountry with its brilliance, and daz-zles all with its joy.

Eachof the fourdays in the festivalof Diwali is separated by a differenttradition, but what remains true andconstant is the celebration of life, itsenjoyment and goodness.

Historically, the origin of Diwalican be traced back to ancient India,when it was probably an importantharvest festival . However, there arevarious legendspointing to theoriginof Diwali or 'Deepawali.'

Some believe it tobe the celebra-tion of the marriage of Lakshmi with

Lord Vishnu. Whereas in Bengal thefestival is dedicated to the worshipof Mother Kali, the dark goddess ofstrength.Lord Ganesha, thesymbolofauspi-

ciousness and wisdom, is also wor-shiped in most Hindu homes on thisday.InJainism,Deepawalihasanadded

significanceto thegreat eventofLordMahavira attaining the eternal blissof nirvana.

Diwalimainly commemorates thereturn of Lord Rama along with SitaandLakshmanfromhisfourteenyearlong exile and vanquishing the de-mon-king Ravana. In joyous celebra-tion of the return of their king, thepeople of Ayodhya, the Capital of Ra-ma, illuminated the kingdom withearthen diyas (oil lamps) and burst

fireworks. The SignificanceofLights& Firecrackers

All the simple rituals of Diwalihave a significance anda story to tell.

The illumination of homes withlights and the skies with firecrackersis an expression of obeisance to theheavens for theattainment of health,wealth, knowledge, peace and pros-perity.

According toone belief, thesoundof fire-crackers are an indication ofthe joy of the people living on earth,makingthegodsawareoftheirplenti-ful state.

Still another possible reason hasamorescientificbasis:the fumespro-duced by the crackers kill a lot of in-sectsandmosquitoes, foundinplentyafter the rains.

From Darkness Unto Light: In

eachstoryofDeepawaliliesthesignif-icanceof the victoryof goodoverevil.

From darkness unto light — thelight that empowers us to commitourselves to good deeds, that whichbrings us closer to divinity.

During Diwali, lights illuminateevery corner of India and the scent ofincense sticks hangs in the air, min-gled with thesoundsof fire-crackers,joy, togetherness and hope.

Diwali iscelebrated around theglobe.

Outside India, it is more than aHindu festival, it's a celebration ofSouth-Asian identities.

If you are away from the sightsand sounds ofDiwali, light a diya , sitquietly, shut your eyes, withdraw thesenses, concentrate on this supremelight and illuminate the soul.- Supplied.

What is the best way tobrush your teeth?>>Your teeth are your responsibility - take care of them

NO one can prove, not even den-tists, that onemethodof brush-ing your teeth is more effective

than another.What's the best way to brush your

teeth? Dentists disagree, and no onecan say for sure, according to a newstudy.

"There's no good evidence at themoment that one method of brushingis more effective than another," Dr.JohnWainwright, the study's lead au-thor, told Reuters Health in an email.

"Ask more than one dentist or hy-gienist how to brush your teeth, andthey're likely to give conflicting mes-sages. It's confusing and potentiallywillmakeyouwonderwhoyoushouldtrust to give you the best advice," hesaid.

Wainwright is a practicing dentistfromUniversity CollegeLondon inEn-gland.

Tooth-brushing recommenda-tions

Heandacolleague,Dr.AubreyShei-ham, examined tooth-brushing rec-ommendations in dental textbooks,from toothpaste and toothbrush com-paniesand fromdentalassociations in10 countries. Most sources recom-mended twice-daily brushing for twominutes, they found.

But dental professionals failed toreach consensus about the preferredbrushingmethodandremaineddivid-ed about how often to brush and forhow long.

"It's undermining faith and trust inthe profession as a whole," Wain-wright said.

Though a majority of sources ad-

vised brushing for two minutes, somerecommendedbrushingforuptothreeminutes. One even recommendedmore than three minutes of brushingat each tooth cleaning.

Dentists and dental associationsrecommend six different methods ofmanual tooth-brushing, the authorswriteintheBritishDentalJournal.Themethods vary by toothbrush anglesand preferred motions.

"Alotofdifferentdentalprofession-als advisedifferentways tobrushyourteeth,"Wainwrightsaid."With theevi-dence currently available, a complexmethodmay be nomore useful than asimple scrub, which is a lot easier tolearn."

We could be doing betterDentalepidemiologistDr.Benjamin

Chaffeesaidtheresearchstirredalive-ly online discussion among dentists.Chaffee is aprofessor in theUniversityof California, San Francisco, School of

Dentistry andwasnot involved in thecurrent study.

"There's a lot we could be doingbetter," he told Reuters Health.

"After 100 years of thinking abouttooth-brushing,theprofessionhasn'tbeen able to reach a consensus thathas really strong evidence behind it.It's entirely plausible that there's noone technique that's superior," hesaid.

Chaffee and Wainwright agreedthat the conflictingmessages point totheneedforevidence-basedresearchintothemosteffectivetooth-brushingmethod.

"For something most people dotwiceaday,youwouldexpectdentists

to send a clearer, more unified mes-sage to their patients on how to brushtheir teeth," Wainwright said.

Conflicting recommendationsHesaidhewanted todo the current

study because his patients frequentlyask him why his tooth-brushing rec-ommendations differ from the lastdental professional they saw.

In a statement, Sheiham suggestedbrushing "gently with a simple hori-zontal scrubbing motion, with thebrushata45-degreeangle toget to thedental plaque." Sheiham is an emeri-tus professor at University CollegeLondon.

Hesaid there is littlepoint inbrush-ingaftereatingsweetsorsugarydrinksbecause bacteria from food begin pro-ducing acid in about two minutes.

"So if you brush your teeth a fewminutes after eating sugary foods," hesaid, "the acidswill have damaged theenamel." - Health 24

Brushing efficiently is key.

There are many factors thatcontribute to delay or non-healing wounds such as in-fected, poorly managedwounds, other conditionssuch as diabetes, vasculardisease, high cholesterol, etc.

Heart attack patientsbenefit from social supportYOUNGormiddle-agedheartat-

tack patients tend to have bet-ter physical and mental health

if they get social support from closefriends and family who care aboutthem.Social supporthelpsolderpeo-ple recover from heart attacks, and anew study shows the same may betrue when the heart attack patient isyoung or middle-aged.

Youngheartattackpatientstendtohave better physical and mentalhealth afterward if they have closefriends and family who care aboutthem, the study found.

The finding may eventually helpdoctors and other healthcare work-ers identify young people who maybenefitfromadditionalsocialsupportafter a heart attack, the researcherswrite in the Journal of the AmericanHeart Association.

"Things like love and friendshipmake a big difference in the recoveryof heart attacks," said Dr. HarlanKrumholz, the study's senior authorfrom the Yale University School ofMedicineinNewHaven,Connecticut.

"The traditional focus on pills andprocedures should be accompaniedbyspecialattentiontotheindividual,"he added.

Analysing social support afterheart attack

For the new research, the re-searchers used data from a study of3,432 young Spanish and Americanheartattackpatientswhowereaskedabouttheirsocialsupport.Thepartic-ipants were between ages 18 and 55years.

The research was focused onyoung women, who traditionallyhave worse outcomes compared totheir male counterparts after heartattacks. Perhaps social supportplayeda role in thedifference,Krum-holz told Reuters Health.

Overall, 21 percent of the partici-pantswereconsideredtohavelowso-cial support, based on questions thataskedwhether the personhad some-one who listens and cares for them,offers advice, loves them and offersemotional support.

The amount of social support wasevenly distributed between men andwomen, the researchers found.

At the first evaluation, the re-searchers found the people with lowsocial support weremore likely to besingle, unemployed, live alone, andsmoke and drink excessively. Theywerealsomore likely tohave risk fac-tors for heart disease, including highblood pressure and diabetes.

Ayearlater,thepeoplewithlowso-cial support had lower mental func-tioning, lowerqualityof life andhigh-er depression scores than those withsome or a lot of social support.

Thesizeof theeffectwassimilar inmen andwomen. "We failed to find adifference," Krumholz said. Overall,theeffect fromlowsocial supportwassmall, but Krumholz said even small

differences are important."I wouldn't dismiss the impor-

tance of this," he said. "I think forsomepeople it canbevery important.By itself, it's modest, but so are mostthings we do in the recovery period.Why not try and line it all together?"

How does social support affect re-covery?

The researchers can't say how so-cial support affects recovery, howev-er.

It could be that social support in-stils a feeling that encourages heartpatients todobetter, forexample.Butit can also be that people with moresocialsupportareinbetterhealthandhave someone to take care of themduring recovery.

"It would be great to understandthis better, but since there are littleside effects to love and friendship, Ithinkwe should be encouraging peo-ple to pay attention to the peoplearound them," Krumholz said."There is a strong possibility thatthese things play a role in recovery."

Dr. Leslie Cho, director of theCleveland Clinic's Women's Cardio-vascular Centre in Ohio, said it's alsoimportant forhealthcareproviders topay attention to their patients' socialsupport systems.

"It'snotallonpatientstoseektheirown help and find their own supportgroup," she said. "I think it's part ofgood comprehensive medical care."

People may be able to use cardiacrehab programs that work with pa-tients after a heart attack or similarevent as a support group, said Cho,who was not involved with the newstudy.

Additionally, she said to check atlocal American Heart Association of-fices for information on supportgroups.

Struggling to lose weight?

SOUTH Africa has the highest over­weight and obesity rate in sub­SaharanAfrica, with up to 70% of women and athird of men being classified as over­weight or obese.

Obesity is associated with a numberof diseases including type 2 diabetes,heart disease, stroke, hypertension (highblood pressure), joint pain and certaincancers.

This National Obesity Week, 15 –19October, the Heart and Stroke Founda­tion SA (HSF) is highlighting the serious­ness of obesity and urging South Afri­cans to shed the kilograms by adoptinga healthier lifestyle.

“There are many reasons as to whywe are facing this obesity epidemic,” saysDr Vash Mungal­Singh, CEO of the Heartand Stroke Foundation SA. “South Afri­cans eat too much, drink too much alco­hol, and don’t move enough,” she adds.

Theinactivityof SouthAfrican’s isan­

other major contributor to the obesityepidemic. The problem starts in child­hood and continues into adulthood, withless than two­thirds of children partici­pating in weekly physical activity. Inadults half of males and almost twothirds of females are physically inactive.

“We need to educate the South Afri­can public about the risks of an un­healthy lifestyle and being overweight.If the public does not believe that theyneed to eat healthier and exercise more,any strategies that address these issueswill be unsuccessful,” says Gabriel Ek­steen, registered dietician at the HSF.

“To combat obesity we need a multi­pronged approach that includes cooper­ation from food manufacturers and ca­tering establishments, appropriate leg­islation, strategies to make physicalactivitymoreaccessibleforeveryoneandeducationandawarenessregardingobe­sity,” she adds. ­ Health 24

GENERATIONSyoungandoldhadaheatedde-bate recently at an event, held at the SharksBoard, to discuss Teenage Pregnancy and itsimplications.

Thedialoguewas conductedby theANCWLin eThekwini’sWard 35 and the audience con-sisted of teenage girls and boys (representingthe teenage parent group) and men andwomen (representing the grandparent targetgroup).

Thedebatewasheld inpartnershipwiththeNatalWomen’s Resource Centre and Love Lifein response to the perceived increased rates ofteenage pregnancy in KZN.

The organisers believe that this increase isadirectresultofthetornfabricofsocietyintermof cultural norms.

Theeventwaswellattendedandthegeneralobservation was that the topic is a very broadone. The dialogue veered in the direction ofcausalitywhichseemedtobeofgreaterinterestfor the participants.

The teenagers who have managed to stayclear of the problem counted some of the gov-ernment programmes as a deterrent thatworked for them.

Oneof these is theHealth Promoting SchoolProgramme which provides teenagers inschoolswithdolls that emulate real babiesandcry for feeds and nappy-changing to give thema taste of what to expect should they fall preg-nant.

The “baby” cries right in the middle of astudyor class sessionand itmeans theparents

have to drop everything to attend to its biologi-cal needs.

“Itwas also interesting to learn that this didnot deter some, but then this goes a long wayto saying the attitude of the teenagers con-cerned may be having everything to do withcausality,” one of the participants said.

The teenage girls were quite vehementabouttheone-sidedparentingapproachwhichputs pressure only on girls to avoid pregnancyand not on boys as a big part of the problem.

“Why is it only the girl who bears the bruntofmyparents’ anger andnotmybrotherwhenhemakesagirlpregnant?”wasoneoftheques-tions thatwere raisedby an irate girl duringthe debate.

“Why do I get heavily penalised by my par-ents for falling pregnant and told to get outof school andmy brother allowed to carry onwhen he has committed the same sin?

“How will the boys learn that this is wrongwhenparentsdonot sayanythingabout this tothem?”

On the grandparents side it wasmentionedthat children abusing substances made theirwords of caution fall on deaf ears.

These and many other issues were raised.“It was clear that this is a topic that needs

“As can be seen only the tip of the icebergwastouchedandtheissuesofrestorationof thecultural fabric could not be fully addressed. Afollow-up dialogue will be organised soon.”

Making hervoice heard>> Radio and TV personality uses her influence to helpwildlife

DEBI BLAKE

ZABA SIMBINE is excited about her newshow - The Zaba Show - on East CoastRadio.

Fever chatted to the radio deejay about her9am-to-midday slot.

Zaba is not unfamiliar to listeners, as shewas a part of Damon Beard’s team from2012.

Apart fromhermid-morningshow,theper-sonalityisalsoaregularhostonSABC2’sHecticNine-9 programme.

Zaba is passionate about wildlife and ani-mals “and issues such as dog-fighting andpoaching”.

Adoring “doggymom” to Roscoe - a two-year-old x-Staffie-Pitbull, Zaba is also thebrand ambassador for KZN’s Centre for Reha-bilitation of Wildlife (Crow), lending her faceand voice towards its campaigns.

“I firstvisitedCrowin2012whileIwasfilm-ing for Hectic Nine-9 and get involved whenpossible.

“My favourite resident there is Wendy theWarthog,” Zaba.

She has also got on board in support ofCrow’s “Under AnAfrican Sky” calendar cam-paign.

“We all know that our wildlife is underthreat, but I think many people who want tohelp simply don’t know how to go about it orwhere to start.“This is why I’m encouraging everyone I

know to support this campaign as it’s a quickandeasy way tomakea real difference tohelpour wildlife in need.

“I have always loved animals -my first petswere Russian hamsters. And when mommyand daddy hamster started making babies, itbecame a business for me, selling them to myfriends and the pet shop.

“My dadwas also very long-suffering withme when I went through my silkworm phase.He would patiently scour the neighbourhoodfor mulberry trees and knock on doors askingfor leaves for the hungry worms back home.”

The hamsters and silkworms, though, hadto takeabackseatwhenthedemandsof school

and all Zaba’s extra-curricular activities tookover.

“I was very active in speech and drama,choir and dance at school (Zaba matriculatedfrom Durban Girls College in 2004).”

The deejay’s first exposure to the spotlightwas at the age of three when she was spottedbyamodelling agentwhile ridingaMynahbuswith her mom.

She then became the model and face for awell known clothing store until the age of 10.

Zaba’s first foray into radio was when sheworkedforasmallradiostationduringtheholi-days.

Then while studying at Wits University sheworked at Val Radio in Gauteng.

In 2011 she began at ECR on the “weekendgraveyardshift-firstthemidnight-to-3amshiftand then the 3am-to-6am shift.”

Her break on Beard’s show happened“whenTheTrafficGuy, JohanvanBargen,wassickandIwascalledtostepintodotraffic.Inev-erleft-theycouldn’tgetridofme,”Zabalaughs.

All the while she was wanting her ownshow.

“Mybossandmentor([TrishTaylor] just toldme to be patient.”

In February she was first given the 4am-6amslotduringtheweekandthen the9am-to-noon slot a few months later.

“Ilovethatradioissointeractiveandsponta-neous. I can be myself - I have always been achatterbox.”

Although a fair bit of planning is done foreach show, “I have to be open to things chang-ing along theway. It’s great when the listenersget involved.”

Onadviceforthosewhowantaradiocareer,Zaba said: “You don’t necessarily need a de-gree or diploma, but you must be prepared toput in the hard yards to start - on any radiostation you can find. Get the experience. Radiofinds its people.”

The animal lover iseager tosee theKwaZu-lu-Natalcommunity“cometogetherand standup for the welfare of our animals.

“They need a voice too, which is why I’veadded mine.”

LEXUS sSouth Africa has refreshed three vehicles in itslocal line-up (CT200h,ESand IS350)with style and tech-nology upgrades.

LexusSouthAfricageneralmanager, JustinRyan, saidthat the updates to the automaker’s CT,ESand ISmodels,enhance usability and add significant value.

“These updates improve the functionality, safety andvisual appeal of these Lexus models.

“We’ve added these items at little cost to consumers -further enhancing Lexus’ reputation of comprehensivestandard specification and outstanding value formoney.”

The Lexus CT 200h gains a reversing camera, cruisecontrol, audio display with 10-speakers (replacing thesmall-screen, six-speaker system), rotary-style LexusRe-mote Touch (EMVN) controller and rain-sensing wipers.

The Lexus ES receives improved safety courtesy of theRear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA). It uses the vehicles Blind

SpotMonitor (BSM) radar to detect vehicles approachingfrombehind.Whenavehicle isdetected,RCTAalertsdriv-erswithavisual displayon the side-mirrors andabuzzer.It’s particularly useful when reversing in a busy parkinglot.

Lexus’ IS range benefits from a number of updates in-cluding the addition of a rear monitor and an upgradedaudio system borrowed from the IS 350 E.

Cosmetic changes include LED fog lights for E and EXvariants.
