BRENDEN.RUITER@NOVUSMEDIA.CO.ZA

Een van die voorste matrikulante aan die Hoërskool Apex se raad aan nuwe graad 12-leerders is om vroeg reeds te vind wat hul motivering is om aan te hou, en omnet jouselftewees. Kirsty Matthews (18), wat met drie onderskeidings geslaag het, sê haar reis tot in matriek was nie altyd met rose besaai nie, maar sy is dankbaar dat sy uiteindelik bo uitgekom het. "Ek het groot geword met 'n pa wat dwelms gebruik het en ons lewens baie swaar gemaak het.

Voorek methoërskoolbegin het, toe sterfeen vanmyoupas en dit het myhardgeslaan. Daarna moesons hoërskool in die Covid 19-tydperkbegin en alleswas deurmekaar," sê Kirsty. In graad 9het symet verkeerde vriende deurmekaar geraak en begin rook, drink en lieg vir haar ma. "In graad 10 het ek nuwe vriende gemaak, maar dit het ook nie veel beter gegaan nie.

Ek was'n probleem virmyma tot ek ingraad 12 besef het dit

kan niesoaangaan nie. Ek het 'n verandering ondergaan en met die ondersteuningvan my familie het my punte aanhouverbeter, wantekhet ophou rook en drink Uiteindelik wasmypunte die beste wat hulle ooit was," sê sy.

Hoewel dinge vir haar verbeter het,wou een struikelblokhaar nog pootjie voor die einde. "Ons elektrisiteit was vir 'n tydperk af en daarom het ek nieverwagdat ek my naam as top-leerdervan die skool sal hoor nie," sê sy. Vanjaar gaan sy eers werk en wag totdat sy haar "roeping" gevindhet voor sy gaan werk.

SAhashighestincidence ofskincancerinAfrica

South Africa has the highest incidenceofnon-melanoma skin cancer in Africa. Furthermore,it is predicted thatthe numberofnew non-melanomaskin cancercasesidentified here will increase by 28% by 2030 and by 73% by 2040.

This according to one of the country’s largest medical scheme administrators.

“This upward trend over arelatively short period may be attributable to a growing awareness about skin cancer screeningfollowing variousforms of member education amongthe schemes we administer,” says Dr Odwa Mazwai, managing director of UniversalCare

“Regular skin cancer screening enables early diagnosis and effective treatment, whichispositive. However,these figures highlight alongstanding problem inour country that urgently needstobebrought under control.

There are three major types of skin cancer: basal cell carcinoma,squamous cell carcinoma,and melanoma.Nonmelanoma refers to basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas, which can be more easily treated if diagnosed early. Melanoma is listed among the topten most frequently diagnosed cancers in South Africa, as reported in the 2023 South African Cancer Registry.

While the prevalence of melanomahas remained relatively constant in both the Universal scheme population andin the South African general population, it is predicted that the number ofnew melanoma skin cancer cases identifiedin

SouthAfrica will increase by 24% by 2030 andby62% by 2040.

ALONG-TERMVIEW

Dr Mazwai points outthata proactive approach to sun protection andskin cancer screenings could reducethe tollof skincancer overtime, both in terms of humanlifeand healthcare costs.

“Looking at theage profile of nonmelanoma skin cancers, it tells aclear story about the repercussions of lifestyle behaviours as far down the line as 60 or 70 years on. Just 11,6% of skin cancer patients arebetween the agesof18and 49 years,41,9% are aged50to69, and 46,5% areolder than 70 years.

“Skin cancercan happen at anyage,but mostpatientsare diagnosed only after the age of 50, eventhoughthe majority of sun exposureoccurs earlier in life. Sun safe practices are crucial throughout life.

YEAR-ROUNDAWARENESS

“South Africa hasa richhistory of outdoorsports and activitiesthroughout the yeardue to ourfine weather. We also haveagrowing interest in outdoor and social fitness events, whichoften coincide withsun exposure.Itisvital to be aware thatthe risks associated withsun exposurecontinue throughout all seasons, particularly as we have so many days of sunshine in ayear,” he notes.

Dr Mazwai adds thatSouth Africa has an average ultraviolet (UV) radiation index of10, which is considered very high,with particularly high levels in December and

Damlevels lowerthan lastyear

SA LEADSAFRICAIN NON-MELANOMASKINCANCER, WITH CASESRISING28% BY 2030 AND 73%BY2040

January. TheUVradiation index is an international standard measurement that reflectsthe strength of the sun’sradiation. Effective protection measures are essential in areas where the average index is above 8.

“Thereisanurgent need to reduce the risks of skin cancersbymaking adaily habit of protectingyourself from the damaging effects of the sun’s ultraviolet A(UVA) rays. UVArays can penetrate through glass, umbrellas, and clouds and are responsible for long-term skin damage, theageing processand potential skin cancers,” he explains.

AccordingtoDrMazwai, all South African skin tonesare at risk of skin cancer. Despite common misconceptions, allSouthAfricans should take the necessary safe sun precautions.

“Fortunately, preventative measures are simple enough to implement. Reduce UV exposure by seeking shade between 10:00 and 16:00, avoidingsunbeds, correctly using an effective sunscreen and UV protective clothing when working or enjoying recreational activities in the sun. Regular skin cancerscreenings with your physician should automatically form part of your scheduled preventative healthcare checks.

TheCityhas encouraged residentstouse less than the target of 975 million litres of water aday due to the low dam levels.

Dam levels stand at 62,25, which needs to lastuntil the next seasonal rainfall cycle.

Low annual rainfall last year resulted in reduced inflows to dams,placing increased pressure on the City’s water supply. While taps were not at risk of running dry, at thisstage continued high water use could result in restrictions unless usage was brought down urgently.

“Water usage thispast week has unfortunately peaked, so we are 87 million litres aday over our target,” Zahid Badroodien, Mayco member for water and sanitation, said. He said early proactive measures were far more effective than emergency restriction.

“We must reduce the unnecessarylitres of water used in our homes, in industrial and agricultural processes and at work. We cannot afford to be complacent. We must closely keep track of consumption indicators on aweekly basis.”

Badroodien said the City was busy with various forms of action, including consistently resolving pipe bursts and water leaks reported through official channels.

Residentsare requested to: . Find and fix water leaks;

. Monitor usage and make an effort to save water;

. To only water gardens at night, and to not top up swimming pools.

. Call 086 0103089, SMS 31372, WhatsApp 060018 1505 or emailwater@capetown.gov.za to report burstmunicipal pipes.

To agewith grace through seasons of change

"When you look up, say thank you. You may not know what you receive. Every day you are covered, in your carand anything can happen on the way, butGod makesyour path clear."

These are words from Freda Naidoo, agreat-grandmother that Irecently interviewed for astory upon reaching 100 years of age.

Aweek later, Ifind her words ofadvice for those wishing to live ahealthy and prosperous lifestill echoand intriguemy mind whether I'm driving to the office or daydreaming on the balcony of my apartment.

During the interview, Ifound myself dumbstruck at the sheer optimism and infectious senseofhumour Naidoo displayed as she shared her story.

As Iapproached her home, Isaw her exotically decorated porch with shrubs whilst agroup of cats lay onher stoep in the afternoon sun.

Upon introducing myself, she greeted me with the utmost respect andenthusiasm one would not expect from someone who just turned 100. She sat in her couch whilst her walker stood at her knees

Once Iswitched on my voice recorder andthe interview unfolded,Ifelt transported to asimpler timewherethe flow of life was allowed to move at amore moderate,yet oppressive pace, considering it was the height of apartheid.

YETSHE’SSTILLSTANDING, LAUGHINGANDBAKINGTRIFLES FORCHRISTMAS...

Isaw her eyes gleamed as she recalled her fond childhood memories of a forgotten version of Piketberg, whereshe was born. She enthused with childlike delight as she toldmeabout her mother's lovefor baking cakes.

At the age of 23 she got married, asmost of ourgrandparentsand parents did at that time, and started her life as afurrier when she moved to Diep River. However,not long after their move, tragedy struck when she, herhusband and 12-year-old daughter,were forcibly removed and ordered to move to Fairways due to the Group Areas Act.

Her voice was stirring and filled her lounge with ahaunting wisdom. Shewas theyoungest of four siblings, all of whom have passed, and as Ilistened to her,I wondered what the weight of her life felt like.

She is amother to five children; her eldest daughter sadly died when she was forty.

She experienced no chronic illnesses nor any addiction to alcohol or smoking. Her sharp and infectious senseof humour was evident as she told mewhy she never smoked.

"I'll tell you exactly why Inever smoked!" she told this story withOscar-worthy gestures and passion. In her nineties she was struck by aQuantumtaxi while trying to crossthe road, flung over the vehicle, cracked her skull twice and suffered abroken hip.

She recovered in hospital for10 months onlytoendure aruptured vein.

Andyet she's still standing, still laughing and baking trifles for Christmas and taking Ubers for aweekly shopping. When the interview ended,Ifelt a tremendous sense of gratitudetobealive Her grit, determination andnever-saydie attitude will always remain with me wherever Igo.

Before Ireached my car, she held my hand and looked me in the eye and said she sees aprosperous futurefor me.

Kommentaar // Comments

EIAfor Altydgedacht is flawed

As aresident andvolunteer in Kenridge, Iwouldlike to comment on the article"Stilltime to comment on proposedAltydgedacht development", published in the TygerBurger on 21 January.

Theinformation the environmentalconsultants have offered to the public is notaccurate. Aquick read of the summarycreates the impression thatthe development is “environmentallyacceptable and sustainable”, as claimed by Guillaume NelEnvironmental Consultants (GNEC) in their basic assessment report (BAR) and quoted in the article.

However, closer scrutinyshows otherwise:The most recent botanical surveyavailabletothe public dates back to 2016,which wasdoneinlateSpring. GNEC promised to do an updated survey as recommended by their botanisttoincludeother seasons, butnoupdated survey(s)havebeen released to the public.

TheentireBAR refers to the oldBiodiversity Network (Bionet) which guides responsibledevelopment by identifying sensitiveareas,corridors, rivers and wetlands. Sincethen, the City of Cape Town has updated its BioNet.Despitethe City of Cape Town's request that theyoverlay their plansonthe updated BioNet,the BARfailstodoso.

Theomissionand error in point oneand twounderminesthe landscaping, development andmanagement plans.Asa result,the landscaping plan places a pond over land classified by the City as “irreplaceable” Thereport also incorrectlyclassifies this area as CBA

Ons klaalmal daagliksoor die verkeersituasie in ons woonbuurte.

Al hoemeer ongesinchroniseerde verkeersligte werk nie, maar hier is dalk `n paar oplossingswat vinnig kan werk

Verbypaaie: Almal hoef niebyverkeersligte te stop as daar verbypaaie is nie; dis `n hoeksny-uitdraai vir verkeer watwil afdraai.

Daar is hope plekke waar dit suksesvol kanwees, byvoorbeelddie oorgeteerde La Belle-weg by die Stiklandbegraafplaas, die suidelikepunt vanCarlCronje by die FransConradie-, Durbanweg/Bloemhofkruising, hope in DurbanweginBellville op die nagmerriepadnaDurbanville Elkeblokhoefnie 'n robot te hê nie!

Have we been heard?

Iwritethis letter with adeep senseofsadness and frustration aboutwhatOakdalehas become. Youhave heardthis before,and nowyou aregoingtohearit again.This is notwritteninanger,but in heartbreak. Aheartbreakfor acommunitythatoncefeltsafe, orderly, andrespected. Afew weeksago,residents were allowedtoobject to aproposeddevelopmentdescribed as “student accommodation”. Unfortunately,those of us who live andwork in this area have seen this pattern before Time andagain, what is promised on paper turns into something entirelydifferent in reality, often becoming hubsfor prostitution andrelated criminal activity. Residents areexhausted, but we arenot giving up.Wewill notbackdown, because ourhomes,our livelihoods andour communityare at stake.

Oakdaleisnot just aresidential area;itisa place wherebusinesses operateand wherepeopledepend on those businesses to survive. Ahealthy community is onewherepeoplecan work with dignityand where clients canvisit businesses feeling safe andcomfortable. Instead, business ownersare forced to watchas prostitution, drugdealing, andharassment spillinto their doorways

Prostitution in ourstreets hasincreasedtosuch an extent that it nowfeelsnormalised. With it comes litter,public indecency, noise, reckless disregardfor road rules, andanerosionofrespect forthe area.How do we explain this realitytoour children?Oakdale residents aretired. Tiredofreporting the same issues repeatedly. Tiredofwatching laws being ignored withoutconsequence. Tiredoffeeling unsafeinour own neighbourhoods.Mostofall,weare tired of feeling unheard.

This letter is aplea, once again to localauthorities, lawenforcement,and municipal leadership to truly seewhatishappening hereand to act. Not tomorrow Not after another meeting. Now.
