Now Ive already confessed about

my bird obsession (on that note, see the wonderful letter and photo by Chrisna de Ru on this page), another fixation of mine is collecting. From the usual, including coins and stickers, to the most bizarre such as mielie cobs and flies (it was all for the sake of art). Im passionate about collecting books, comics, stationary, television series and figurines. My most prized figurine is my 18-inch talking Willy Wonka figure at a flick of

a switch you can hear the famous chocolatier confess about his magical chocolate waterfall (its a real treat). My dream is to get an Indiana Jones figure in my paws. My latest collecting obsession is Pop Vinyl figures - those

cute plastic critters that come in little boxes. What do you enjoy collecting? In other exciting news, tame TIMES turns six on Wednesday 01 April. The newspaper has grown tenfold over the years - having started with one paper in 2009, the company now boasts six tame TIMES titles. To celebrate our birthday, tame TIMES would like its readers to nominate a community hero. One lucky reader can win R1000. Just tell us why you think they are a hero. The best story wins.

Get nominating!

CONGRATULATIONS

Letter by Chrisna de RuIts with great interest that I read your editors

letter in the tame TIMES dated 24 March 2015. I therefore decided to share our excitement with you. My husband Leon and I enjoy bird watching and

often visit the Kruger Park where weve had great sightings. We have quite a shady garden here in Mulbarton and feed the birds on a daily basis. We have a great variety of the more general species visiting the garden. Over the past few months weve spotted the African Paradise Flycatcher on a couple of occasions. A few years ago we had a resident Spotted Eagle-owl. However, the bonus was when we had the most spectacular sighting of a Grey-headed Bushshrike on Sunday 08 March! Being a very shy bird it was amazing that we could view him, and Leon (hes an avid photographer) could take pictures. He posted the pictures on the Facebook page of SA Birders and had interesting comments. Enjoy!

Letter by Paseka Matlhaku, Acting Director: GLB Registration & Licensing, Gauteng Department of Economic Development

Dear Editor, I would like to thank the following officials from City Parks for the cutting of the grass as well as additional trees and bins at Donnington Drive Park: Ipeleng Dube, Johnny Jardine, Chris Manikam, Patrick Yende and Piet van Vuuren.I can proudly say that I enjoy working with these officials because they give with joy to create a conducive environment for the community. The onus is on us as the community to keep our area maintained and prevent illegal dumping to ensure a clean and safe environment.

Letter by Anthony NaudeWe live in Glenvista near Biggarsberg Road. My 18-year-old son Jeremy was walking down Biggarsberg Road towards the Glenvista Checkers centre around 16:15 on Monday 02 February. As he approached Spitz Road, he was mugged. Our helper tells us the same thing happened to another helper in the area some time last year, with exactly the same tactics. This means that they are regular operators at the same spot, doing the same thing. Jeremy said a tall thin black male, possibly around 50, walked over to talk him and said his name was Harald. Harald started to ask Jeremy about a possible donation of clothes for a charity. As Jeremy was listening, another man grabbed him from

behind and held his arms back. They took two cellphones out of his pockets and then ran off. Harald was smoking and was wearing dirty blue jeans and a red striped shirt. The second man was of average height, black and chubby, probably in his 30s and looked more smartly dressed. Jeremy was quite shaken and incurred a cut to the ankle, but he is otherwise fine. We took Jeremy to Mondeor Police Station which did not seem to want to take a statement. They suggested he reports the phones to Vodacom for blocking. I have reported this to the CPF, TBRA and D&D Tactical security teams. We have many joggers using the Biggarsberg Hill - please take care and, probably, its best not to carry any desirable items on your run.

Letter by Gary PickeringCongratulations on your new appointment as editor and I wish you every success in your new position. This local newspaper needs a little more oomph to make a bigger impact on the local readership in the South and I have noticed an improvement in typography and presentation in the last edition.

LUNCH

Dear tame TIMES, I read your story about the Clinton Hospital and I just want to let you know that we also had a bad experience with them. My grandmother was there and the way they treated her was shocking. The reason Im writing this today is because at this moment my cousins son has been in the Clinton Hospital since Monday and the way they get treated makes a person angry. He is six months old and his mother is taking his temperature. They have been waiting for the test results since Monday and still nothing. My cousin goes home to sterilise his bottles because the staff dont do it. I will not recommend this hospital to anyone. Cant believe that the Netcare group is so bad in their service and then we get charged an arm and a leg for medical aid. Marlene Zwarts

With regards to your article on the Clinton Hospital, I thought you would like to hear my complaint which was sent directly to the Clinton Hospital of which I got no response until I went to Regional, only then did Mr Mhlongo reply. We received shocking service and the total bill was close to R25 000! We could have stayed at the Hilton and received better service with private callouts from the doctor. Four years ago, I had the same issues and sent a complaint; clearly nothing has improved. Debbie Fenton Cronning

COMMUNITY CONCERNED OVER NETCARE: After publishing the article on the quality of service and the physical state of the Netcare Clinton Hospital as well as the Netcare Union Hospital, tame TIMES received an overwhelming response from the community. tame TIMES received several phone calls, emails and personal visits from various community members regarding their experiences in both hospitals, and the general consensus was not of a positive nature the majority of residents complained about the hospitals quality of service as well as the lack of maintenance and hygiene. tame TIMES also posted the story on its Facebook page which, at the time of going to press, reached over 11,000 people, got 21 Likes, 40 comments and was shared 48 times.

FACEBOOK COMMENTSGO AWAY stare and delivered an answer which she deemed I should accept, however, it was merely a sentence of cleverly strung together empty BIG words that did not make sense nor solved the complaint! I was then told to address her in writing via email and given an email address which conveniently was returned server rejected. I again went in person and was told she would get back to me via a call. A week later I called and left another message... Im still waiting! Nearly seven months later... Jenni Angel Bernard

This is concerning. Ive been having concerns about the Clinton Hospital considering that I have to give birth there in a few months time. Articles like this make me want to change hospitals. As for the Union, a couple of years ago we had to rush a friends three-year-old son to the ER following a fall which split his forehead open. We waited there for four hours before being seen to! And they were not busy! Shocking service, especially considering a three-year-old child had to wait that

long with a bleeding head! I wont go back there in a hurry... and these are supposed to be private hospitals! Leanne Trim

Had a horrible experience with them as well. Incorrectly diagnosed my son with a broken arm. The ER doctor put his cast on the wrong way and burned his arm with the Plaster of Paris. She got such a fright and dozed him with antihistamine. He slept for 16 hours. I made a huge fuss and insisted they refund my medical aid. They acknowledged the issue and said they would do the refund but never did. Mariette Kaufholz

The big problem at both Union and Clinton is the lack of skilled nursing staff and lack of hygiene standards. How can you insert a drip needle when you have Cutex peeling off your nails? After five times not finding any vein, they called for backup. By this time the patient was

in tears from the pain caused by the junior untrained nurse. Sarah Laubscher

Worse than government hospitals. Kristin Smit

Not interested in Abrahams CV, she obviously has no control and cannot perform her duties or there would not be the problems identified. It looks like she is hoping to be headhunted but putting her resume on record. Come with solutions. Georgie Berriman Myburgh

In my case I actually commented that this is exactly the service you get at the JHB Gen and South Rand Hospital. This is serious stuff. Since 2012 I can only say bad things about the Union, honestly. Ive been paying medical aid since 1994 and I think its time medical aids do investigations. Patricia Mans

Netcare Clinton and Netcare Union Hospitals move swiftly to enhance service to patients

Esm Abrahams, General Manager of the Netcare Clinton and Union Hospitals, has apologised unreservedly to the patients mentioned in the tame TIMES article published on 24 March. We are most concerned to hear that some readers of tame TIMES who either themselves received treatment, or whose family members have been treated in our hospitals, feel that our service has not met their expectations. We wish to assure them that it is our objective to treat each and every patient and their families with absolute care and dignity and to provide them with quality care. Abrahams added that the feedback received has provided management and staff of both hospitals with the opportunity to re-assess every aspect of their services and make improvements where their service delivery fell short of patient and visitor expectations, such as the overall cleanliness of their facilities and their interaction with patients. I am sure that our patients and their family members will find the actions taken both meaningful and appropriate. More importantly, I really hope that it will provide our patients with an indication of how valuable their feedback is to us, she says.

IMMEDIATE IMPROVEMENTS ALREADY VISIBLE

According to Abrahams, the hospitals have implemented a number of interventions to prevent a re-occurrence of the experiences outlined in the tame TIMES article. Short-term actions that will immediately be visible to anyone visiting the hospitals include a full assessment of all the public areas by the hospitals maintenance teams which have done all the necessary repairs. We have also employed additional cleaning staff to work specifically in the public areas where high traffic volumes, particularly during and after visiting hours, have impacted on the

cleanliness of these areas.Visitors who smoke immediately outside the front doors of the hospitals, where there are clear signs that prohibit smoking, will find that our hospital security team will be adopting a very strict anti-smoking stance. We have also identified a number of public areas where re-upholstering was required and are fast-tracking the refurbishment of these areas.

MEDIUM-TERM PLANS

The growing demand for private healthcare in southern Johannesburg has resulted in an unprecedented influx of new patients to both Netcare Clinton and Netcare Union Hospitals in recent years. We are most thankful for the considerable support we are receiving from the communities that we serve and will continue to make every effort to ensure that we remain at the forefront of healthcare delivery while providing quality nursing care and other services within world-class facilities, notes Abrahams.We are also mindful of the fact that the emergency department at Netcare Clinton Hospital has outgrown the needs of our community and we are therefore in discussions with the Department of Health (DoH) to obtain permission to implement a number of changes that will significantly improve patient flows, she says.

LONG-TERM PLANS

According to Abrahams, there are some exciting developments afoot for both hospitals in the not-too-distant future. She, however, believes that it would be premature to make these plans public at this stage. What we can promise the people of Alberton and its surrounds is that Netcare will continue to invest in the communities that have supported us for so many years. We will also ensure that our facilities are impeccably maintained and managed until such time as we can make our big announcement, she promises.

DID YOU KNOW?

Netcare Union Hospital is one of only two accredited Level 1 Trauma facilities in South Africa (Netcare Milpark Hospital being the other facility), and attends to more trauma cases than most other private hospitals in South Africa.

Netcare Clinton Hospital opened a new multi-million rand paediatric intensive care unit (PICU) just over 18 months ago to provide the children of the area with highly specialised care.

Netcare Clinton Hospital opened a dedicated cancer treatment centre which provides a holistic service to cancer patients living in Alberton and the surrounding areas less than five years ago. The centre is staffed by some of the countrys leading oncologists who offer patients treatment using cutting-edge technology. The integrated oncology centre offers chemotherapy and radiotherapy facilities and specialises in intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and image guided radiation therapy (IGRT). Both treatment techniques are at the forefront of radiotherapy treatment worldwide.

Last year Africas first structural heart centre, specialising in the percutaneous repair of leaking heart valves and various other cardiac anatomical abnormalities by means of minimally invasive surgery, was established at Netcare Union Hospital.

In 2012, heart surgeons at Netcare Union Hospital successfully used a minimally invasive technique to repair a leaky artificial heart valve during an hour-and-a-half long procedure. The procedure was undertaken through a small puncture in the patients groin, using a catheter and wires to reach the leaking valve by means of 3D, real- time transoesophageal imaging for precise visualisation. It was the first time that local doctors in the private sector had performed such a procedure.

MY DOOR IS ALWAYS OPEN TO OUR PATIENTS AND THEIR LOVED ONES.

We really encourage all our patients to provide us with feedback on the care they receive as it assists us in evaluating and improving our service on an ongoing basis and enhances the hospital experience of our patients, assures Abrahams.There are comprehensive patient feedback mechanisms in place within the hospital and we encourage our patients or their families to raise any concerns they may have with us while they are in hospital, or as soon as possible after leaving the hospital. We strive to maintain close contact with patients, with senior staff members doing daily rounds to patients. However, they may not see all patients every day as some patients may be undergoing treatment, tests or may be sleeping at the time. In addition we also offer patients the opportunity to complete a survey on an iPad while in hospital; this data is captured daily, providing our hospital management team with rapid patient feedback which enables them to respond promptly.

DA VISION FOR WARD 124

5FM DJ Rob Forbes, in association with Plascon, spent Saturday 14 March adding a splash of colour and beauty to the Yenzani Childrens Home in Noordwyk, near Midrand. Along with a number of his fans he recruited using social media, he rolled up his sleeves and painted the home using Plascons beautiful but tough premium quality interior paint, which will last up to 15 years. Yenzani Childrens Home is a youth care centre that provides love, care and shelter for children who need it most. The event is part of the Plascon 15 Year Quality Guarantee Challenge, which sees Plascon donate up to 100 litres of premium interior paint as well as up to R10 000 worth of contractors work to charity each month for five months.

Last month, SABC sport presenters Romy Titus and Lebo Motsoeli painted the Ratanang Home in Soweto. Ratanang, on the grounds of Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital in Soweto, cares for incapacitated children. Says Kudzai Ukama, Group Brand Manager at Plascon: Were excited to help bring some colour and beauty to charities through this Challenge. We could think of no better way to celebrate our success in extending our warranty than giving something back to communities that need help and support. The support we have received from our favourite celebrities for this project has been truly inspiring.

Details: www.plascon.co.za

Democratic Alliance (DA) Councillor of Ward 124 Tyrell Meyers and the DA branch in Ward 124 want to see a better ward in 2015. In light of this vision, Ward 124 has identified focus areas that they intend to tackle in the coming months:

HOuSINg: The poor state of Council-owned old age homes, such as Reuven and Glenesk, as well as the issues of allocation at the Selby Hostels, are just some of the housing matters that we will look into. Senior citizens are not treated with dignity when their units are not maintained by the City. Least of all, the Booysens informal settlement continues to grow and requires further urgent attention. We would like to thank all NGOs that have assisted the settlement thus far. House hijackings are also becoming a serious problem in the ward, which is contributing to urban crime and grime. We will soon provide a way forward on this particular issue.

CRIMe AND SubSTANCe AbuSe: This matter was raised as a major concern for residents in Ward 124. We await the feedback on the petition submitted to have

the service lanes closed off to help reduce crime. Projects and activities are needed to help keep the youth active after school, to reduce loitering and give them stimulation. This can reduce drugs and substance abuse, and in the bigger picture, reduce crime overall.

SeRVICe DelIVeRY: General service delivery relating to dumping, roads, parks and so on also needs to be tackled. We will expose the failings of the departments and the officials that fail to deliver to residents. We will take this to the Mayor and Chief Whip if we need to.

uNeMPlOYMeNT: The ward has a high unemployment rate due to the large number of people moving within the ward. Some have been in employed in the Expanded Public Works Programme which pays only a stipend and does not offer long-term or full-time employment. We need to bring investment back into the ward that will result in jobs that are labour-intensive. We also want the youth to visit the Innovation Hub in Marshall Street, which helps young entrepreneurs get established. They need sustainable work to grow and create employment. We will soon do a programme in the ward to help reach out to these young leaders.

tame TIMESHAS BEGUN A WAR ON

drugs

Heroin use blocks the brains ability to perceive pain and produces a downer effect.Common or street names: smack, H, skag, junk, brown sugar, horse, and black tar.Heroin is a drug that can be snorted, smoked, or injected into the veins. As heroin addicts lose the desire for personal hygiene, needles are shared which could lead to the transmission of HIV. The abuser quickly builds up a tolerance which means that more of the drug is needed to get the same effect. Experts say heroin is the toughest drug to beat - the rate of rehabilitation from this drug is less than 5%.

Shortness of breath Dry mouth Constricted (small) pupils Sudden changes in behaviour or actions Disorientation Cycles of hyper alertness followed by suddenly nodding off Droopy appearance, as if extremities are heavy

Needles or syringes not used for other medical purposes Burned silver spoons Aluminum foil or gum wrappers with burn marks Missing shoelaces (used as a tie-off for injection sites) Straws with burn marks Small plastic bags, with white powdery residue Water pipes or other pipes

Have you ever tried brown sugar? This was the question that

led to the downfall of a successful young man who went from being a

well-paid qualified draughtsman, website developer and project manager who owned two cars and had his own place in Benoni, Ekurhuleni to

washing taxis, guarding cars, robbing people and sleeping on the street. Keo Sebego is today, nevertheless, a walking

miracle. Articulate, intelligent and likeable, he belongs to the 5%

of heroin addicts who recover. Admittedly, though, this took 11 stints in rehab and he is currently seeing

both a psychiatrist and a neurologist to deal with a lot of psychiatric problems. He has been prescribed anti-psychotics, anti-depressants, stabilisers and tranquilisers and his doctors expect his mind to take at least a few years to heal. Fortunately, he has no permanent physical scars from his 12 years on both heroin and crack cocaine; but his family relationships are in tatters and he has no friends left from his past.So, how did this sharp-looking, educated 26-year-old from Mafikeng, who grew up in a good home with three siblings and two loving parents, end up on drugs? It started, Sebego told tame TIMES, after he finished high school and moved to Joburg to enrol for tertiary studies. His parents found him an apartment in Auckland Park and enrolled him in a college to study graphic design and website development. Within a few months of moving into the apartment, Sebego met a random guy who came to his flat to ask for a cigarette. He stayed in the same apartment block and invited him to visit if he ever felt bored. Soon after that, Sebego took him up on his invitation and found his new friend with another guy, listening to rap music. They seemed tense until they asked him if he had ever tried brown sugar (done heroin) and the promising young graphic design student made the worst decision of his life.A drinker since his high school days, he soon added heroin and crack cocaine to his substance-abuse list. I carried on and on, he says. I enjoyed the high and didnt see the problem. In the beginning it was fun and it didnt take anything away from my life. I had the money to sustain my habit; I could still function; I could still go to college and take care of myself. I was still on good terms with my family and I still had friends.In his own words, Sebego was never willing to listen, because I thought I had all the answers. I thought I was smarter than the whole world. So, it is not surprising that he became dependent without realising it. He was in denial and not prepared to call himself a junkie.I saw them at the robots and said Id never be like that. I went to a private school and thought I was better than that. But I ended up on the streets, washing taxis and guarding cars. I also used to rob people at night I befriended them and then robbed them. All that mattered was my next high. Personal hygiene went out the window.Sebego lived a life of lying, cheating and stealing; alternating his place of work and abode between a taxi

rank in the Benoni CBD and Hatfield Square in Pretoria. He had street friends in both places, but was devastated one day when he was recognised by a former school-mate who had been a junior when he was in matric. He had to hit rock bottom before he realised that his excellent education and very good background could not protect him from the drugs that were destroying his life. Drug addiction, he says now, doesnt choose it doesnt care whether you are rich or poor, white or black. I had friends from some of the most elite families in the country that were drug addicts and no one knew about it, but I was in rehab with both the very poor and the very wealthy.Eventually, Sebego found himself in God and filled the void inside that he had previously tried to fill with women, sex, money, drugs and alcohol. He has committed his life to serving others in the ministry of helping other drug addicts and is the happiest he has ever been. He has discovered that he is happier when he is not within [him]self, when [he] is not the most important person. Sebegos advice to young people is interesting. Be open-minded, he says, and appreciate that adults are not as clueless as young people think they are. We young people have this YOLO attitude. But because you only live once, do it properly do it right.

We celebrated the launch of Cotlands Donate your Birthday campaign on 26 March with the gorgeous Shashi Naidoo


The 1st of April, also called All Fools Day, is celebrated by many pranksters. The origin of this tradition is uncertain and is a question that many people are still asking today. References to this foolish day can be traced back as far as the 1500s.One theory which dates back to 1564 might hold the answer. The French reformed their calendar during this period by moving the start to their year from the end of March to the 1st of January. Many people failed to keep up with this change and therefore had jokes played on them.Pranksters would stick paper fish on to

the backs of those who struggled to keep up with the change. The victims of this prank were called Poisson dAvril, which translates into April Fish. To this day April Fish remains the French term for April Fools, and so the tradition was born.(sources: slideshare.net; hoaxes.org)

LET US KNOW WHAT YOU PLANNED FOR THIS FOOLISH

DAY AT [email protected]. A family picnic

Use the beauty of nature to set the tone for a relaxing day out in the garden or a park.

Treasure huntHide a small note for each member of the family in which you express your love and appreciation.

Our everyday lives are filled with necessary chores that leave us spent at the end of the day. We do not always have the time to stop and appreciate those dearest to us. Family Day on 06 April, though, provides us with one opportunity to set this right.It is a day to gather with those you love and to enjoy some much needed quality time.

The importance of Family Day is uniting families together in the spirit of the holiday. Celebrate Family Day by hosting a fun event that the whole family can enjoy. It does not have to be a grand affair. Remember, it is about spending time and creating memories together, so keeping it simple could turn out to be the greatest of fun.

SOME IDEAS ON HOW TO CELEBRATE THIS HOLIDAY ARE:

Board gamesDust off those board games and let the fun begin.

Family sportsDivide everyone into groups and play some traditional sports against each other. Those who are unable to play could referee.

Have you ever wondered about the history behind the delicious Lindt chocolate Gold Bunnies?According to Lindts website, it all began one bright March spring morning when the ground was covered in a snow blanket and one of the master chocolatiers saw a little bunny in his garden. The chocolatiers young son was thoroughly mesmerised when he saw the little bunny, but began to cry as soon as it disappeared into the bushes. Suddenly the chocolatier had a great idea. I should make such a bunny out of chocolate and with that the Gold Bunny was born. The enchanting gold bunny was made from the finest

Lindt chocolate and was lovingly wrapped in gold foil and hand finished, as it still is today. As a special mark of recognition the bunny was given its unique red ribbon and golden bell. The Gold Bunny embodies the ultimate magic of this season and continues to be a cherished centrepiece of family Easter traditions. In giving back,

the Lindt Gold Bunny is proud to support the conservation for the critically

endangered Riverine Rabbit. The Riverine Rabbit project coordinates all the conservation efforts around this fluffy, endearing but very endangered species.

Supersport United Soccer Schools has proudly opened its doors in the south of Johannesburg at the newly built astro soccer fields located at Rietvlei Zoo Farm. The Rietvlei Soccer Park offers soccer training, holiday camps, corporate and social soccer leagues, birthday parties, soccer events and field hire. The Supersport United Soccer Schools unique coaching and playing technique aims to give players aged five to 18 years the best start in football, with all-year-round

training. They want the game of soccer to become more skilful, entertaining and

enjoyable both to play and watch. To do this, they have changed the way children are coached in the game, with daily group training sessions, advanced technical team coaching, one-on-one coaching and fun holiday camps. The Supersport United Soccer Schools training

sessions are offered daily from Monday to Friday from 15:00 to 19.30 with different age groups at different times; and on Saturdays from 8:00 to 9:00. Bring

your child down for a free session. This will

give you and your child the opportunity to see and experience the Supersport United Soccer Schools

development, skills and technical training, and you can

chat to the coaches to assess what level your child is at and what he/she needs to improve on. Based on this, your numbers of days and session times will be confirmed. Supersport United Soccer Schools The South will be hosting a holiday soccer camp for boys and girls aged five to 13 years during the Easter school holidays from Monday 31 March to Friday 10 April at Rietvlei Zoo Farm. At the holiday soccer camps, kids grouped in ages from five to eight years and nine to 13 years, can experience soccer at its best, learn new soccer skills, make

new friends and improve their level of play. The camps are a great way for young players to develop their skills and have fun playing the game under the watchful eye of our Supersport United Soccer Schools coaches, says Brendon Lohan, owner of Supersport United Soccer Schools The South. We touch on the fundamentals of techniques of the beautiful game of soccer and introduce young players on how to improve their skills with some of the Supersport training, giving them a taste of what the Supersport United Soccer Schools are all about. The soccer camps are tailor-made for juniors in a fun, safe and friendly atmosphere. Toni Mackrell of Rietvlei Zoo Farm says, We are thrilled to have Supersport United Soccer Schools training and school holiday camps at Rietvlei Zoo Farm, as it is the perfect environment and a great way for the community to get involved with soccer in a safe environment. The corporate, social and ladies soccer leagues are run from Monday to Friday from 19.30 and are a six-a-side game that is made up of five players in field, one goalkeeper with four substitutes; therefore having a maximum of 10 players per team. A game consists of 40 minutes (20 minutes each way with five minutes half-time). The cost includes a qualified referee and soccer bibs. All games are played with a futsal soccer ball. All players are encouraged to wear their team soccer kit and shin pads. Rietvlei Soccer Park prides itself on maintaining a healthy social and interactive experience for players and spectators alike, based heavily on good sportsmanship and friendship with just a hint of competitiveness.
