MUIZENBERG REVAMP CONTINUES: CALL FOR GREATER PUBLIC PARTICIPATION

MID eyes transformationMONIQUE DUVAL

The further development and improve-ment of Muizenberg is high on the agen-da at the next public meeting of the Mu-

izenberg Improvement District (MID).MID executives have issued a broad ap-

peal to the community to assist by taking anactive role in having a say in the area’s fu-ture.

The meeting will be held to discuss upcom-ing projects and various pertinent issues ,including safety and security.

MID manager Chevone Petersen sayssince their inception in 2001, 50 new busi-nesses have been established in the area.

The picturesque suburb, home to an eclec-tic community, is sought-after for propertydevelopment, and Petersen believes this isa step in the right direction.

MID governance director Elizabeth Milnesays the turn-around in Muizenberg hasbeen dramatic over the past few years.

“The focus on creating a safer and cleanerenvironment has resulted in a Muizenbergrevolution, from slum to beauty, in certainareas.

“This could not have been achieved with-out the tenacity and passion of previous di-rectors, cooperation of community busi-nesses, organisations, dedicated individu-als, the broader community and the supportof the City of Cape Town,” Milne says.

Marketing director Sandi Voges hopestheir appeal that the community attends thepublic meeting finds root, so they may be in-formed and take a more active role.

“In the past there has been very little com-munity interaction and this is somethingMID wants to change,” says Voges.

“We want the community to get involvedby presenting projects, ideas and solutionsfor consideration within the MID area.”

Milne says one of the main discussionpoints at the meeting will be clarifying theMID boundary.

The MID boundary includes Vlei, Alber-tyn, Main and Beach roads.

She says because Muizenberg has beenmade a Special Ratings Area (SRA), the MIDis restricted by the boundary, stipulated bythe City of Cape Town, and are only able toimplement, facilitate and manage projectswithin the boundary.

This needs to be explained to residents toprevent confusion. “It is important for levypayers, members and the community to un-derstand the limitations of MID and how thisimpacts on the overall implementation ofprojects by MID,” Milne says.

Other items on the agenda include the Mu-izenberg Festival, the clean-up of the YorkRoad car park, Muizenberg Park, the wa-terslide in Vlei Road and buildings acting asmagnets for anti-social behaviour.

Chairman Tony Smith says the improve-ment of Muizenberg will encourage com-mercial investment and attract more tour-ists and visitors to the area.

“MID wants to start engaging with thecommunity on all levels,” he says.

“Our objective is to be transparent and in-clusive. We should all have one commongoal: the holistic upliftment of the Muizen-berg community.”V The public meeting will take place on Saturday 7September at George Whitefield College on the cornerof Beach and Alexander roads at 10:00. For furtherdetails contact the MID manager on (021) 788 1196 ormanager@mid.org.za.

SHOCKING FIGURES: EDUCATION SYSTEM CAN’T COPE

Ugly truths of Fetal Alcohol SyndromeNADINE MOODIE

There is no medication to treat it andthose affected never achieve their fullpotential. This is the horrifying trage-

dy of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) stalkingcommunities across the globe.

Drinking may be an adult’s delight, but itis deadly to an unborn child.

Professor Denis Viljoen, an honorary pro-fessor in genetics at universities of Stellen-bosch and Witwatersrand and chairpersonof the Foundation for Alcohol Related Re-search, says booze affects the central nerv-ous system, and the effects on a child stillin development is far reaching.

“Fetal Alcohol Syndrome in the child is de-

termined by the mother’s alcohol usage dur-ing pregnancy,” he says.

“Some mothers who drink appear to havenormal children, but once they’re tested itcomes to the fore that they’re not like aver-age children.

“The mother’s genetic makeup also deter-mines the health of the child. If the mother’smetabolism is fast, alcohol will be metabo-lised quickly and won’t have serious effectson the child. There is no blood test for alco-hol syndrome, which makes it difficult to de-termine FAS within children.”

Viljoen says no woman knows when she’spregnant. “Most women only find outthey’re pregnant weeks or months after shewas sexually active,” he says.

Consuming alcohol during pregnancy canaffect up to 90% of the baby’s nervous systemand can also result in skeletal and organ de-fects.

“This can have an array of effects on thechild’s intellect, language, executive func-tions, behaviour and attention span,” Vil-joen explains.

“At least 15% of children in poor commu-nities are born with FAS. This means there’san estimate of two million people in thecountry who’ve been affected by the syn-drome.”

These children don’t have the usual inhi-bitions of their peers free of FAS and get in-volved with risky and unsavoury activities.

“Their [age] of death is reduced when com-pared to the normal population because theyget involved in unsavoury activities. Theycost society money, because the educationsystem can’t cope with them.

“These individuals generally disrupt theclassroom and mainstream teachers are notequipped to teach them. Social servicesdoesn’t accommodate FAS individuals un-less they are handicapped in a certain way.Not a lot is afforded to these individuals andit will literally take years to get to the topof this problem,” Viljoen says.

A Grade 6 teacher at a mainstream school,who spoke to People’s Post on condition ofanonymity, says she has FAS children in herclass and struggles to fulfil her duty to teachthem. “They struggle to grasp concepts andreact differently to situations. Some are verypassive while others are aggressive,” shesays.

“These pupils need individual attentionand explaining concepts to them takes a longtime. Some can’t concentrate and will walk

around after sit-ting still for fiveminutes to disturbthe rest of theclass.”

Teaching thesechildren is a trial.

“Instead of us-ing numbers I usesweets as num-bers to explain.An average childin my class takesup to three days tograsp something,but a FAS childcan take up tothree weeks be-fore they under-stand,” she says.“I’ve learned thatFAS childrencome from abu-sive situations,single-parenthouseholds andenvironmentswhere people haveturned to alcohol as a saving grace. The sadreality is that many of the children knowthey have FAS.”

The education system does not accommo-date children with FAS, so many of them arepromoted to the next grade regardless if theyare competent at concepts taught at lowerlevels. “Compared with their peers it is evi-dent FAS children have different featuressuch as a smaller head and hands, their earsare positioned lower on their heads andtheir faces are tiny,” she says.

“They read phonetically without compre-hension by breaking up words as they goalong a sentence. Most of them are morepractically inclined and should be accommo-dated at special schools.”

Founder and CEO of FAS Facts FrancoisGrobbelaar says they’ve started a mentor-ship programme for expectant mothers.

“The mentor visits the mother twice amonth and over weekends to ensure she’sstopped drinking because some womenstruggle to stop consuming alcohol duringpregnancy,” he says. “The responsibilitylies with the woman to confirm she’s stoppeddrinking and the mentor will also ask herfamily members and companion to confirmthis. The mentor also observes the woman’s

attitude to determine her behaviour.“We’ve had a lot of success with this pro-

gramme because of the 37 participants, 25stopped drinking completely, while the oth-er 12 drink less.”

The foundation’s CEO Leana Olivier saysthey have launched various projects ena-bling teachers with skills on how to teachFAS children. They also have another pro-gramme focusing on promoting a healthierlifestyle to mothers. “Everybody should takeresponsibility for the huge FAS problemSouth Africa is experiencing,” she says.

This has led to the foundation approach-ing the liquor industry to sponsor and assistwith prevention and awareness work.

“Even though FAS is not considered a dis-ability there’s an international movementlobbying to get it listed in the American Psy-chiatric Association’sDiagnostic and Statis-tical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-V),”she says.

“This will ensure for better managementand resources to deal with this condition.”

OCEAN VIEW: ACTIVE CITIZENSHIP IS THE ONLY SOLUTION

Time for residents to ‘wake up’MONIQUE DUVAL

Wake up, Ocean View. This was themessage delivered to residents at apublic meeting held in Ocean View

last week. Following confusion about thevenue, the meeting, which was convened bythe Ocean View Civic Association (OVCA),was poorly attended.

However, those present asked for it tocontinue. Giving an overview of projectsand initiatives in the area, OVCA chairper-son Oliver Castro says there were morethan 11 sites in the area which have beenidentified for low-cost housing.

He says the Mountain View project,which will run over the next 21 months, willsee 543 low-cost houses being built.

Castro explains there are also 11 addition-al sites in Ocean View which have beenidentified where 391 houses are set to bebuilt. “There are many things that are hap-pening simultaneously and most of theseprojects are aimed at the economic uplift-ment of the area. We believe the communityneeds to wake up and be a part of these initi-atives,” he says.

Castro says due to high unemploymentrates in the area, the OVCA and the City ofCape Town are also looking at the rejuvena-tion of the central business district to createjob opportunities for the community.

Speaking about education and youth inthe area, Ocean View High School principalKeith Klein revealed shocking statistics.

He gave a comprehensive overview of thedemographics, subjects, pass rate and chal-lenges faced by the school.

“We have many challenges and the big-gest one is our children lack motivation.They cannot see the benefits in completingschool and sowe seemanyof themdroppingout in Grade 9. This year we had to ask theWestern Cape Education Department(WCED) to remove three pupils who were

selling drugs at school,” he says.Klein says since January the school has

recorded 21 teen pregnancies with theyoungest being a girl who is only 13.

“Disciplineanda lackof parental involve-ment are big problems and we ask that par-ents assist,” he says.

OVCA secretary Sharone Daniels saysthere was more to Ocean View than just a“tik hub”. She says there were many peoplewho worked and volunteered their time touplift their community. “When drug deal-ers fight, innocent people get hurt and wecannot be afraid to speak out anymore.

There are so many positive things happen-ing in Ocean View, it is not just a tik hub.

“It is time for us to wake up and takecharge of what is happening in our area. Ifwe do not take responsibility we will bejudged harshly for letting Ocean View go bythe way side. We must think about our chil-dren and their future,” she says.

Castro says the meeting created a goodplatform for the community to air theirviews and says despite the low turn out, theOVCA will host a follow up meeting.V For more information about the next meetingphone Oliver Castro on 082 768 9075.

NEW HEAD: FALSE BAY HOSPITAL

Doctor’s caring iswithout bordersMONIQUE DUVAL

Managing a public health fa-cility is no easy task, butfor Dr Wendy Paddington

the new manager of medical serv-ices at False Bay Hospital, it is alabour of love.

Waddington grew up in Zimba-bwe and first came to Cape Townat the age of 17 to study at the Uni-versity of Cape Town’s MedicalSchool.

“I worked in the emergencyservices at Groote Schuur andwent on to specialise in obstetricsand gynaecology. I worked in aprivate practice for years beforemoving to New Zealand to studypsychiatry,” she says.

Waddington returned to CapeTown in 2004 and worked in theoutpatient department at False Bay Hospi-tal for nine years and was recently put incharge of the entire hospital.

She explains the hospital consists of 65beds for inpatients, delivers an average of60 babies each month and assists more than7000 outpatients monthly. “We also have op-erating theatres, a pharmacy, a dental carefacility, physiotherapy, X-ray department,a dietician, an emergency unit as well aspsychiatric services. So there is always lotsto do,” she says.

The hallways of False Bay Hospital havea cheerful spirit as patients sit in line formedication or wait for their chance to seea doctor. Waddington explains the hospitalis lucky to have the assistance of the com-munity volunteers who offer patients awarm cup of soup while they wait.

“Our aim is to render an excellent medi-cal service to everyone who walks throughthe door. We are fortunate to have a commu-nity who understands how hard we workand stands with us to help the public.”

Waddington explains there are severalexciting projects in the pipeline, includinga new antenatal clinic at the hospital.

Hospital spokesperson Siyabonga Maho-mba says the Department of Public Workswill be refurbishing the staff creche into anew antenatal clinic.

“The clinic will consist of a waiting area,five consultation areas, an observation areaand ablution facilities. The clinic will thenneed to be equipped and decorated, and weare hoping for assistance from the commu-nity to achieve a pleasant and well equippedarea for our maternity patients,” he says.

Mahomba says the new clinic, which willcost in excess of R200 000, is needed as thecurrent facilities for maternity patients isnot ideal.

“The crèche was closed down severalyears ago and now the plans for a new clinicare being drawn. We will need variousthings for the new clinic from examinationcouches to medical equipment. We are veryexcited for the new clinic,” she says.

A group of Noordhoek volunteers aremaking strides this winter in helpingthe Western Cape Leopard toads ac-

cess their breeding grounds at LakeMichelle.Toad Nuts co-founder Alison Faraday ex-

plains every year toads trying to crossNoordhoek Main Road to get to LakeMichelle are in danger of being killed. Shesays volunteers implemented a new planthis year by creating a toad barrier betweenthe two entrances to the lake.“For years, volunteers have spent their

time picking up the toads and crossing theroad to take them out of harm’s way. Thisyear we decided to put up a toad barrierwhich prevents the toads from crossing theroad,” she says.Faraday explains the two barriers have

been put on either side of the road and areslanted at a 45° angle. “This ensures that thetoadsdonot climbover thebarrier.Wehavealso placed plastic pots along the barrierwhich have a 10cm drainage hole. How itworks is that the toadwould try to cross theroad and be met with the barrier. They willthen move along the barrier until they get

to the pots. Once they go inside the pots,they stay there until our volunteers ar-rive,” she says.She says volunteers patrol the barrier

from 18:30 to 10:30 and take the toads fromthe pots and place them on the other sideof the street. Once there, the toads maketheir way to the lake to breed.“So far the project has been very success-

ful, but it would not be possible without thevolunteers who assist us by patrolling thebarrier. The barrier is patrolled by twogroups at night and one in the morning toensure all the toads get across the road safe-ly,” she says.While the toad numbers for 2013 have not

yet been finalised Faraday says before thebarrier was set up 70 toads were foundcrossing the road. Of these 70 toads 19 werefound dead. After the barrier was set up 66toads were found, which are all still alive.“We have noticed motorists have become

more patient and are driving slower onrainy evenings. We ask anyone who sees atoad to please only stop if it is safe and justpick the toad up and put it back down in thedirection itwas going.Weare grateful to thepublic who have showed they care for thetoads,” she says.

Pedal to the metalLIAM MOSES

A group of cyclists will start a 20-day,1 400km trek across the country onSunday to help raise awareness for a

new cycling safety campaign.The Pedal Power Association’s (PPA)Toy-

ota Ride for your Life South Africa Tour willsee the group start in Johannesburg on Sun-day 8 September and make their waythrough several towns en route to CapeTown.The tour forms part of PPA’s Cyclists Stay

Alive at 1.5m campaign, which urges motor-ists to pass cyclists with a safe berth of 1.5m.PPA chairman Steven Hayward says the

organisation hopes the campaign will makemotorists take greater care when drivingnear cyclists.“With the shocking number of cycling-re-

lateddeaths onour roads in recent times, thelaunch of theCyclists Stay Alive at 1.5m cam-paign in the Western Cape last year createdcritically important awareness around cy-cling safety,” he says.“By launching theRide for your Life South

Africa Tour, we aim to expand on the cam-paign’s success and reinforce safety and tol-erance amongst drivers and cyclists on allSouth Africa’s roads.”The cyclists will make their first tour stop

in Bloemfontein on Wednesday 11 Septem-ber, reach Oudtshoorn on Friday 20 Septem-ber and arrive in Cape Town on Saturday 28

September.A series of events will take place along the

route, including mass rides from Johannes-burg, Bloemfontein and Oudsthoorn on de-parture days. Celebrities, local business-men, professional cyclists and eager ama-teurs are all expected to participate, drivinghome the cycling safety message.They will accompany the Tour partici-

pants to a predetermined spot along wherea “ghost bike” – a bicycle paintedwhite – hasbeen erected in memory of those cyclistswho lost their lives on the country’s roads.Thereafter, the Tour participants will con-tinue and those participating in the massride will return to the departure point.Hayward adds thatmany of the increasing

number of cyclists taking to the tarmac areinfrequent riders who are unaccustomed tocycling on busy roads.“Ourmessage is simple: if a vehicle is 1.5m

away from a cyclist, that vehicle cannot hitthe cyclist. We will also be gathering signa-tures for a petition to legalise the 1.5m ruleandhope to secure over 1 000 signatures dur-ing the tour.When the group arrives inCapeTown on Saturday 28 September, we plan onhanding the signed petition to the NationalMinistry for Transport for consideration,”Hayward says.For more information on how you can get

involved or to find out more about PPA andits various safety projects, visit www.pedal-power.org.za.
