Leboeng celebratesold age and cultureThe aged in the Leboeng area (just before Strydom Tunnel en route from Ohrigstad) gatheredat the Thusong service centre on Wednesday under the auspices of the Department of SocialDevelopment. The purpose of the day was to celebrate their old age and to show youngpeople their heritage and customs. They also got important information from variousroleplayers to make their old age days better. Aspects that received attention were amongstother things, how to too stay healthy, and looking after their diets, as well as theirtrelationships with younger family members. The Police at Leboeng Police Station alsoinformed them about what to do if younger family members want to take their social pensions.According to the Police at Leboeng it is especially jobless children and grandchildren whoharrass old people for their money. On their side the old people feel defenceless and do notwant to report this harrassment for fear that their family members may go to jail. This problemwas extensively discussed.

Various cultural groups comprising ofthe aged entertained the large number ofold people at Wednesday’s gathering atLeboeng’s Thusong Service centre.Various aspects of old age receivedattention during the day’s proceedings.Afterwards the guests received a hearty

meal. In the photograph (right) MsJoyce Mphaphuli (Leboeng LocalSupervisor) and Ms Joyce MapulaMakgolane ( Provincial Coordinator:Older persons and Disability) of theDepartement of Social Services dressedtraditional for the occasion.

Advertorial

Do you know exactly what you eat?This is a question your dietitian or nutritionist will ask you if you see him or her about weight problems. Most of the time,people underestimate their food intake.If you’re overweight, it’s essential that you know what you eat in order to determine the most adequate diet or just breakbad eating habits. Read the following and learn about ways to evaluate your diet.We’re all liars!If someone asks you what you’ve eaten today, you’ll have a natural tendency to lie about it. Many studies have shownthat we undervalue our food consumption and more often than not, this is not even conscious. For instance, we “forget”that we ate between meals. And the more you want to control what you eat and try to limit your intake, the more youunderestimate how much you have had. Only protein intake is more or less accurately evaluated.What you need to knowYour dietitian or nutritionist will ask about your eating habits in rather extensive detail. In order to evaluate your profile,he or she will explore three essential points:1. The types of foods you habitually consume and those you like best;2. The circumstances under which you eat them;3. Possible eating disorders (snacking, compulsive eating etc.)It is very important to balance your meals at all times and it is necessary to know where you lack. Knowing where youlack will help you supplement your nutrients intake. Note it is important to take your vitamins and minerals and balanceyour fluid and electrolytes levels.

Dalai Lama visum debacle - what do you think?

Mr Solomon Mohlala said: “It is his ownfault - he applied too late. I’m worriedabout the Bishop Tutu. The way he actedin the media is not right”.

Mr Maxwell Chihambakwe, Mr Welcome Msibi and Mr Aubrey Mokwena said: “It is anembarrasment for our country. We don’t think the government gave in under pressureto delay or not give him a visum. They were just slow”.

Me. Ina Burgers sê: “Dit gaan oor die land se beeld. As anderhooggeplaastes vinnig gehelp kan word, moes hulle hom ookhelp. As dit vir Mandela was, het hulle dit gegee”. By haar isBianca en Jaco Burger.

Ms Lizzie Bembane said: “It is an embarrasment that he had tocancel his visit. They should have supported him. Tutu has aright to be mad”. With her is Kabelo Bembane.

Mr David Malepe said: “The Dalai Lamashould have submitted his application fora visum earlier. But due to the politicalenvironment we find that he is not able tocome and visit. There is apparently someissues around it. I am not quite sure ifgovernment did this on purpose”.

Mr Genius Baloyi and Mr Willy Baloyi said: “They were so slowbecause they wanted him to give up. Hulle moes hom ‘n visum gegee het. Dis ‘n groot embarrasment vir ons. ‘n Grote. He wascoming for a good thing - a birthday of one of our leaders”.

Mr Leonard Makofane and Ms Mina Malwa said: “He should havebeen earlier. The government did however delay things onpurpose. It is an embarrasment for our country”.

Mr Crosby Masilela, MsBianca Mamabolo and MsThelma Matlala said: “If anormal person’s applicationtakes long then it is fine thathis did too. He should betreated like us. Governmentwould definitely not give topressure from China or anyother government in theworld”.

Mr Phaswane Ratseke said: “Theysubmitted the thing too late”.

Who is the Dalai Lama?The Dalai Lama has been the spiritual leader ofTibet since the 17th century.According to the religious belief, each DalaiLama is a reincarnation of the previous one.The current Dalai Lama is 76 years old and hisname is Tenzin Gyatso. He is the 14th DalaiLama. He has been identified as the next DalaiLama at the age of 3 and started acting in therole of Dalai Lama when he turned 15. He hasbeen in excile since his twenties as he tried toprevent the Chinese government to take overTibet.In 1989 he won the Nobel prize for peace andtravels the world for the advancement of peace,harmony and human understanding.

This week Archbishop (emeritus) DesmondTutu reacted with anger after his friend, theDalai Lama cancelled his visit to South Africafor the Archbishop’s 80th birthday on 7 October.By Tuesday this week the Dalai Lama have nothad surety that his visum would be approvedand cancelled the visit. He was due to attendthe birthday party, speak at universities andreceive the Mahatma Gandhi peace prize inDurban.Tutu on Tuesday warned the ANC saying thatleaders such as Egypt’s Hosni Mubarak andLibya’s Muammar Gaddafi came to a fall eventhough they had great support. “I am warningyou that one day we will start praying for thedownfall of the ANC government” he said. Helashed out that the South African governmentdid not support the Tibetans “who are beingviciously oppressed by the Chinese”.Cosatu stated that it is discrimination to refusethe Dalai Lama entrance to South Africa. TheDA, IFP and FF+ all released statementscondemning the fact that a visum was notgranted in time. The ANC spokesman MrJackson Mthembu said that the Archbishop’scomparison of the ANC to the leaders of Egyptand Lybia and the apartheid government is“unfortunate and misplaced”. They alsoconfirmed that the Dalai Lama was not refusedentrance into the country by the time hecancelled his visit.We asked readers what they think about thewhole issue.
