Daily food unaffordable>> Poor households cannot afford a balanced diet

NQOBILE MTOLO>>nqobile@pmbfever.co.za

WITH60%ofthePieterma-ritzburg populationearning less than R3200

permonth, poor households in Pie-termaritzburg have stopped buyingmeat and chicken and are insteadbuyingstockcubesanddifferentsoupflavours which are rich in salt, just toget that meaty taste in their dishes.

Presenting the2013Pietermaritz-burg Agency for Community SocialAction (Pacsa)FoodPriceBarometer,Pacsa researcher Julie Smith saidthat eating meals, which are domi-nated by starches and salt, havemajor health implications.

Pacsaisafaith-basedsocial justiceand development non–governmentorganisation (NGO) which has beenoperating since 1979 and focuses onsocio-economic issues.

The Pacsa food price report re-veals that Pietermaritzburg’s poorhouseholds spend about 47%of theirearnings on grocery items which aremainly dominated by staple foods inthe starches category, and includemaize meal, baking flour, potatoesand rice.

Smith said thatwith the foodpriceinflation on the 2013 Pacsa food bas-ket of 32 food items sitting at 8,7%,poor families cannot afford to buyvegetables and dairy products.

Moreover, with the World HealthOrganisation (WHO) recommendingan intake of five portions of fruit andvegetables per day to protect againstnon-communicable diseases (NCDs),the imbalanced diet means an in-crease in malnutrition in impover-ished households.

“People can’t just live on maizemeal, rice and potatoes alone. Thishasmajorimplicationswhenitcomestodietarydiversitybecausetheyneedotherminerals and vitamins in orderto function properly,” said Smith.

The Pacsa report comes after theSouth African National Health andNutrition Examination Survey (SAN-HANES)releasedits findingsrecentlythat the diets of South Africans aredense in energy and lack nutrition.

Penny Jarvie from the Universityof KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN) Depart-ment of Dietetics and Human Nutri-tion, said that dietary diversity is im-

portant to ensure adequate intake ofessential nutrients.

“This is of particular importancefor young children as it can result inpoor growth. High rates of obesity,seen in South African women in par-ticular and increasingly amongyoung children, are linked to theseenergy dense diets which are high infat,sugarandsalt,combinedwithlowlevels of activity. A healthy diet in-cludes mealie meal, bread, and rice,but with the addition of vegetables,fruit, legumesaswellaschicken, fish,meatandeggs.Cheapfoodstendtobehigh instarch, sugarand fatwhich fill

people up and can contribute toweightgain,butdon’tprovide themi-cronutrients our bodies need,” saidJarvie.

Pacsa also noted that the pricespike peaks over the Christmas peri-od are worrying, as price spikes donot return to previous levels.

With the Msunduzi Municipalityelectricity increase at seven percent,Smith said thatmost familieshaveal-somoved from cooking three times aday to only twice or once a day.

Pacsa’s director Mervyn Abra-hams said that four local retail storeswere used in tracking food prices.

“As Pacsa, we believe that the im-pact of the inflation on poor house-holdsgetslostwhenyoulookatthein-flation rate of the consumer price in-dex, because that is averaged out soit’s the rich and the middle classwhose interest really determinesfoodprices.Weconsiderthisreportasone of the most important indicatorsof whether we in the city are indeedadvancing social and economic de-velopment.

“We hope that this report willchange how government deals withits poverty alleviation programmes,”said Abrahams.

The food basket consists of starchesand sugar, meat, dairy, eggs, fresh vegeta­

bles, beans, and canned fish, fats, tea, coffee andspices.

From September 2012 to September 2013, the total costof the food basket was R1509.

According to the Pacsa report, starches and sugar itemsincreased by 10,6%, dairy products by 17,8%, fresh vegeta­bles by 7,8% and tea and coffee by 15,7%. When lookingat individual food items, canned fish increased by 20,67%,cheese increased by 35,56%, rice by 20,25%, potatoes by51,40%, brown sugar by 16,63%, cooking oil by 7,80% andcabbage by 10.10%.

Three schools — LongmarketGirls’ School, Greenhill Primary andAlstonPrimarySchoolalongGreyling

Street — have fallen victim.Last week classes at Longmarket

Girls’ School were cancelled aftercopper pipes and taps were stolen.Theschoolprincipal,DerylMuir, saidthat the school was shut down for acouple of hours while the plumbersorted the problem out.

“We turned off the water to avoidthe gushing of water. We called aplumber and everything was sorted

out.“This goes to show that there is a

demandforcopper,butunfortunatelythis comes at the expense of educa-tion.Thisissuchaninconvenienceforparents and pupils,” she said. Pupilshave since returned to school.

Police spokesperson CaptainThulani Zwane said that Pietermar-itzburg detective services are still in-vestigating the circumstances sur-

rounding the theft at LongmarketGirls’ School.

Although the suspects target cop-per items at schools, Zwane said thethefts at schools in the Pietermaritz-burg area is not common.

“Police donot believe that a syndi-cate is operating in the area as thequantity of the items is minimal.”

Zwane said that there have notbeen any arrests and urge the public

toreportany theftordamage toprop-ertytopoliceinorderforaninvestiga-tion to be conducted.

BuiltEnvirocelebrates30 years

>> We are one of the oldest,and clearly very resilient,NGOs in KZN’

NQOBILE MTOLO>>nqobile@pmbfever.co.za

THE Built Environment Support Group(BESG)celebratedits30thanniversaryre-cently, over two days at two events at

ChamberHouseattheshowgroundsandatTem-balethu Trust in Burger Street.

BESG addresses human settlement issuesfaced by communities.

BESG’sexecutivedirectorCameronBrisbanesaid there aremany non-governmental organi-

sations (NGOs) which have withered away be-cause they could not move with the changingtimes to ensure that what they do remains rele-vant to the community.

“Weareoneof theoldest, andclearly very re-silient, NGOs in KZN. We are also the only NGOin KZN that supports communities through allstagesof low-incomehousingdevelopment,andone of the few in the development sector whichworks as intermediaries between the govern-ment and communities. Celebrating a big anni-versary isawayof reflecting, consolidating,andrenewing theorganisation’svision,missionandactivities,” said Brisbane.

At the event at Chamber House, BESG metwith stakeholders from the government, NGOsand tertiary institutions, where Brisbane gavestakeholders a glimpse of the history of the or-ganisation.

“We launchedournewdistress fundwhich isaimed at attracting corporate social investmentand individual donations to help us respond tohousing emergencieswhen [the] government isunable or unwilling to assist. This would be incases of, for example, destruction of a shackthrough flooding, high winds or fire. Then weheld a celebration with stakeholders from thecommunities with whom we work across theuMgungundlovu District,” said Brisbane.

PHOTO: SUPPLIEDThe board of directors of BESG was joined by the director­generalof KwaZulu­Natal Nhlanhla Ngidi, (second, left) during BESG’s 30thanniversary celebrations last week. Also at the event are (from left)Jenny Mitchell, Nhlanhla Ngidi, Professor Maryann Green, Brian Bas­sett, Sushi Keshav, Sihle Ndlovu and Cameron Brisbane.

SBESG was formed in 1983 and grew out of afaculty of Architecture and Allied Disciplines atthe Howard College, formerly known as theUniversity of Natal Durban, as a voluntary or­ganisation that focused on fighting for therights of indigent communities to live in urbanareas around Durban and Pietermaritzburg.

From 1988 to 1993, BESG was involved innegotiating land rights for communities, set­tlement planning constructing services such asroads, water and sanitation. Under the newNational Housing Subsidy Scheme, from 1994until 1998, BESG pioneered community drivendevelopments.

However, along the road, there were a fewhiccups.

“The introduction of the Public FinanceManagement Act forced BESG to tender forhousing projects as an implementing agent toa dysfunctional local government. Communi­ties were marginalised in the process. As a con­sequence, the first three projects we won attender all became bogged down in municipalbureaucracy and our relationship with commu­nities became fractious. We withdrew fromhousing work temporarily in 2005 due to thehostile environment created by the new publicprocurement framework. Together with otherurban development NGOs around the country,we drafted a new policy for Community DrivenHousing Development which former housingminister Lindiwe Sisulu endorsed. It becamenational policy in 2009 under the title ‘En­hanced People’s Housing Process’,” said Bris­bane.

For the past three years BESG has assistedcommunities to secure administrative justice incases such as arbitrary eviction.

“We re­entered the housing delivery indus­try. We launched Greener Pastures, a projectthat works with vulnerable communities tomanage the impact of climate change on theirhousing and livelihoods, caused by severeflooding, wind and drought. In spite of manyNGOs facing shrinkage or closure due to the glo­bal recession and the flight of foreign donorsfrom South Africa, we are needed critically bycommunities as much now as in the early daysof democracy,” added Brisbane.

Police suicide, headachefor authorities>> In many cases police officers are not emotionally and psychologically prepared to handle stressful situations

NQOBILE MTOLO>>nqobile@pmbfever.co.za

A DAY before the national police depart-mentheldasuicidepreventionsummittoaddress suicide within the police force,

Constable Mthandeni Sibisi (36) shot his wifeNana Sibisi (31). Seconds later he turned thefirearm on himself. He died on the scene. Nanasustained serious injuries.

One of Mthandeni’s co-workers from theLoop Street Police Station said that the couple,who lived in Sweetwaters, had marital prob-lems,butnever thoughthewould shoothiswifeor turn the firearm on himself.

“Hewasdown to earthandveryhumble.Weare all shocked by what has happened. We[police] are trained in coping mechanisms andhow to handle our temper and our emotions.However, it seems that this suicide trendwithinthe police force has become the ‘in-thing’. It’s abadhabitandshouldbeaddressed,”saidtheco-worker.

At the summit in Pretoria, Minister of PoliceNathiMthethwasaid inmanycasespoliceoffic-ersarenotemotionallyandpsychologicallypre-paredtohandlestressfulsituationswhichcomewith thenatureof the job, thus leading toacata-strophic blow to their mental wellbeing.

“Police officials deal with high job and taskdemandsonadailybasis. Insomeof these tasks

said Mthethwa.Police records show that in 2009 therewere

73 police officerswho committed suicide, 97 in2010,85in2011,98in2012andfrom1Januaryto June 30 this year only 34 police officerswererecorded to have committed suicide.

Mthethwa said that this creates a bleak pic-ture and proposed a multifaceted approach tosolve this.

“Our analysis indicates that the trends in thecommission of such suicides include utilising aservice firearm, hanging and overdosing bytablets. Predominantly we also discovered thattensioninpersonalrelationships,maritalprob-lems, infidelity, trauma,depressionandmentalhealth issues and poor financial managementare the main drivers.

“Members are urged to proactively take re-sponsibility for their personal health and well-ness. Commanders are also urged to pay atten-tion to thewellbeingof theirmembers,”headd-ed.

Police commissioner Riah Phiyega said thatinmost casespoliceofficersarereluctant to talkto their co-workers about their problems be-cause they fear that doing so might be harmfulto their career.

“They make the mistake of trying to solvetheirproblemsquietly and thisoften leads toal-cohol or substance abuse, or suicide. Stress istaking its toll on police officers throughout the

nation. Although it is a problem that many areloath to talk about publicly, we have decided to

go therouteofasummit inorder toheighten thelevels of awareness,” she said.

. PHOTO: SUPPLIEDConstable Mthandeni Sibisi shot his wife (she survived), then turned his firearm on himself.

police officials must absorb many emotionsfromthecommunity ranging fromanger, frus-tration, sadness andmore. Police officials arealso exposed to negative media reports andcriticism fromthecommunityaswell as socio-economic and political dynamics within thecommunity.

“Weneed tohighlight the reality that,whenpolice officers go off duty, they become part ofthe same community theywere policing a fewhours earlier. Arguably, this has the potentialtoelevatesomeofthestresslevelsandtensionsand we have ample evidence of cases wheresome officers are insulted and threatened,”

If yousave regularly and invest in the appropriateinvestment portfolios, you will be in a strongposition to reach your retirement goals.

Manage your investment plan over time

think of your investment according to how faryou have to go until retirement. If you havea long time before you retire, you can investin growth securities, such as equities andproperty, which have the potential for higherreturns.

KZN Museummakes history>> Exhibition will ensure that the stories of people are toldNICOLE JOHN>>nicole@pmbfever.co.za

THE first exhibition to be pre-sentedinbothEnglishandZuluhas been officially opened at

the KwaZulu-Natal Museum.“Freedom: A local history of the

struggle for racial equality and free-dominSouthAfrica” took threeyearsof research and two years for theconstruction of it.

Bridgette Johnson, deputydirector of exhibitions, said that theidea behind the construction of theexhibition was to look at the struggleand localise it by including accountsand experiences from ordinarypeople in Pietermaritzburg, and notonly focus on historical icons.

Phila Msimang, a direct descend-ant of Richard Msimang, a founder

member of the AfricanNational Con-gress,was involved in the exhibition.Speaking to theMaritzburg Fever hesaid that theexperienceofworkingatthe exhibition gave him a new per-spective on his own history.

“I realised how much I take forgrantedand learnt the significanceofeven the simplest things,” he said.

The exhibition is one of the mostinteractive ones in the museum andincludes touchscreens, working tele-phones,TVscreensplaying recordeditems of information and interactiveinterviews with local people and or-ganisations that fought apartheid,andhighlights thosehonouredby thecity street names.

“Thisexhibitionisabouttakingre-search and making it into an experi-ence,” said Johnson.

The exhibition includes a life-size

taxi, which was cut into four parts sothat it could be placed in the exhibi-tion hall.

Itwas then rebuilt and is nowableto seat a load of people. Theinteractive feature takes visitors on atourofhistorical places inPietermar-itzburg.

It also includes the restorationof arailwaycarriagetohighlight thestoryofMahatmaGandhi, theconstructionofaSobantu-stylehouse,ajailcellandan apartheid-style classroom.

The speaker of the MsunduziMunicipality, Babu Baijoo, waspresent at the opening, on behalf ofMayor Chris Ndlela. He said that themunicipality is proud of the muse-um’s achievements.

“This exhibitionwill go a longwayin ensuring that the stories of peopleare told,” said Baijoo.

The Duster, built in India, retails fromR194 900 to R239 900.DESIGN

The Duster has a wheelbase of 2.67m andgenerous ground clearance. Its rugged designgives it its own personality enabling it to shrugoff any “baby Koleos” references.

“The Duster is the perfect fit for South Afri-can roads as it is equally at home on highwaysand suburbs as it’s off the beaten track. It’s theperfect companion for familieswho need theircar to adapt to their outdoor activities,” saidFabienPayzan,RenaultSouthAfricavicepresi-dent of marketing and communication.POWER

>> DareDevil Run has been taking placeevery year for the past five years and

encourages men from all walks oflife, regardless of age, toparticipate in the Pieter­maritzburg edition of thenational race

NICOLE JOHN>>nicole@pmbfever.co.za

DON’T be shocked if you are facedwith a group of men running innothing but red speedos on 8 No-

vember — theywill bedoing it foragoodcause.

As part of its Men’s Health CampaignduringNovember, theCancerAssociationof South Africa (Cansa) has teamed upwithEtanaandCommunityChest tobringsomething a little different to the city, andwill be hosting the inaugural DareDevilRun.

The DareDevil Run has been takingplaceeveryyear for thepast fiveyearsandencouragesmen from all walks of life, re-gardlessofage,toparticipateinthePieter-maritzburg edition of the national race,which takes place annually, however, isthe first in the city.

While women are mostly the centre ofattentionwhen it comes to cancer aware-ness andhave their ownmonth for breastcancerawareness,Novemberisthemen’schance to have the spotlight on them.

“The awareness of male cancers ismuch lower than theawarenessof femalecancers, particularly in terms of the regu-lar prostate specific antigen screeningandtesticularself-examinations thatmen

should be doing, just like women shoulddo breast self-examinations and papsmears. The message behind this run isvery important. The more men knowaboutmalecancers,andthemorerespon-sibility they take for having themselvesscreenedregularly, thebetter thechancesthat cancer can be caught early and thebetter the prognosis for treatment,” saidLisa Strydom, Cansa regional manager.

The race aims to raise money for can-cer research and treatment and to createawareness for the very real need for mento be as vigilant of male cancers, specifi-cally prostate and testicular.

All proceeds from this daring race arefor thebenefit of CansaPietermaritzburg.Entry is R100. which includes the redspeedo used for the four-kilometre race.

Theorganisers aim is to get over 5 000runners to takepartnationally,whichwillbreaktheGuinnessBookofWorldRecordsas the largest gathering of speedo-cladmen in one place.

For more information or to enter on-line, visit www.daredevilrun.com or e-mail chestpro@communitychest.org.zaor john@aghall.co.za for entry forms.

Entry forms can be dropped off at theCommunity Chest offices (StranackStreet) or Cansa house in KillarneyTerrace.
