News24.com | Holy spirit? ‘Booze church’ finds lockdown rules hard to swallow

You Need Posted on by
Gabola church leader Pope Tsietsi Makiti.

Gabola church leader Pope Tsietsi Makiti.

Chris Moagi

  • The Gabola church, where congregants drink alcohol, has continued to hold gatherings after lockdown regulations relaxed. 
  • They have been moving services from place to place to avoid run-ins with the authorities.
  • The country allows 50 worshippers to attend services, as per easing of regulations.

When South Africa began easing its coronavirus lockdown in May, it allowed religious worshippers to gather in groups of up to 50, but maintained a ban on people assembling to drink alcohol.

That’s a problem for the Gabola church – the name means ‘drinking’ in the local Tswana language – for whom a tipple is an integral part of their religious worship.

Founded just two years ago, the church tried to hold its usual meetings in local bars, or shebeens, to praise God while downing whisky, but they soon got arrested, its leader and self-styled “pope” Tsietsi Makiti, 55, told Reuters.

“They can arrest us until Jesus comes back,” said Makiti, wearing a bishop’s mitre with a miniature bottle of spirits hanging from it.

But he added they had been moving services from place to place to avoid a run-in with the authorities.

On Sunday, worshippers met in a rubbish-strewn field in Evaton, south of Johannesburg. As the service started, the “clergy” blessed some beer bottles in prayer.

Bottles

“At Gabola church you (bring)… the liquor of your choice… and the pastor will bless the liquor so that it will not be poisonous to your body,” Makiti said.

Wearing flowing black robes and coloured scarves, Makiti and five “clergymen” – none of them who are ordained – sit before a table strewn with empty bottles of alcohol.

Makiti’s sermon included such proclamations as: “We are a church that will remake the world.”

“People call me a drunkard,” said one worshipper, Nthabiseng Kotope, 38, who added that she joined the church in March.

“I agree with them. I do God’s work while drinking.”

Apart from the ban on alcohol, the congregants observe all other coronavirus rules, including the limit of 50 people, the spacing out of chairs and use of hand sanitisers.

While some Protestant sects teach that alcohol is sinful and to be avoided, most mainstream Christian churches are not opposed to moderate drinking, citing such Biblical stories as Jesus turning water into wine at a wedding feast.

News24.com | Red Bull lodge protest over Mercedes steering

You Need Posted on by

Red Bull plunged Formula One into a technical argument on the opening day of the belated season on Friday when they lodged an official protest of Mercedes’ dual-axis steering (DAS) system after opening practice at the Austrian Grand Prix.

Just hours after seeing Mercedes duo of six-time champion Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas top the times with a resounding one-two in their newly-painted ‘black arrows’ cars, it was confirmed that Red Bull had made a formal protest against them.

Team chief Christian Horner had said earlier on Friday that he intended to ask for guidance from the race officials about the legality of the system.

However, he had been warned by Mercedes boss Toto Wolff that taking it further would endanger the success of the sport’s first weekend back.

Mercedes had introduced the system, which allows the drivers to adjust the toe angle of the car from their cockpit positions, in pre-season testing when it sparked an intrigued debate in the paddock.

The sport’s ruling body, the International Motoring Federation (FIA) confirmed that a formal protest was lodged by Red Bull against both Mercedes cars used in practice at the Red Bull Ring.

The Mercedes and Red Bull teams were requested to meet the race stewards on Friday evening at 18:10GMT.

The stewards ruling cited two breaches of the regulations, one relating to the cars’ suspension systems.

The protest follows an FIA decision to ban DAS for the 2021 season.

Mercedes believe the system is legal and have said they discussed it in detail with the FIA before the season and pre-season testing.

Speaking earlier on Friday, Horner said: “Obviously, we’re keen to get clarity on that system using the mechanisms that are available and getting it addressed quickly early in the weekend.

“We have a difference of opinion on it. Its primary performance isn’t to steer the car, obviously, so, yes, of course there is a technical position – Mercedes will think one thing, our engineers will think something else.

“In situations like this, the best thing is to address it via a protest.”

He added that if the system was allowed, his Red Bull team would consider adding the idea to their cars.

“It’s a clever system, an ingenious system, but these rules are complex. It’s just about understanding what part of the regulations it fits.”

A decision on the protest is expected before Saturday’s third practice session which is due to start at 10:00 GMT.

News24.com | WRAP | ‘Covid-19 drug’ sells out, fight for cigarettes continues

You Need Posted on by

The Covid-19 death toll has hit 2 952, while the number of cases now sits at 177 124.

The total number of recoveries is now 86 296 – a recovery rate of 48.7%.

Here’s what made the headlines today

Demand for the Covid-19 drug dexamethasone appears to be on the rise, with producers of the medication having cleared its stock. Fresenuis Kabi, a German pharmaceutical company which manufactures in the Eastern Cape, has sold out all its stock. Another manufacturer, Aspen, has run out of stock. The medication has been hailed as a breakthrough, and the health department has begun administering it to some Covid-19 patients.

As Gauteng prepares for a Covid-19 storm, some 1 600 residents in hotspot areas in Johannesburg are due to be relocated. The City will move people from wards 108 and 109 to safer places.

The National Health Laboratory Service has fired Gibela Trade and Invest, a courier company, after it had lost samples of Covid-19 tests in transit while travelling on the N2 in the Eastern Cape. The company was said to have behaved negligently.

As schools prepare to welcome more grades, there has been pushback in KwaZulu-Natal, whose provincial education department is not allowing the return of Grade R pupils on Monday. On Thursday, the government announced that Grades R, 6 and 11 will be allowed back from next week.

Meanwhile, an independent schools body has written to President Cyril Ramaphosa asking to allow all pupils to return to its member schools. The body says it has devised a plan for this kind of reintroduction, including physical distancing measures and temperature screenings.

The cigarette war continues, with tobacco association Fair Trade Independent Association lodging an application for leave to appeal a court ruling which dismissed its challenege to overturn the government’s ban on the sale of tobacco.

Health24.com | FDA approves ‘prescription video game’ for kids with ADHD

You Need Posted on by

  • A video game for kids with ADHD is the first game-based treatment for any condition approved by the FDA
  • The device is a non-drug way to alleviate ADHD symptoms in children 
  • The game will probably appeal to parents and children alike, but it is still uncertain how effective it really is

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The first video game to help treat kids with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration.

EndeavorRx is a prescription-only game designed to help improve attention in eight- to 12-year-olds with ADHD who have confirmed attention problems.

It is the first game-based treatment authorised by the FDA for any condition.

The game from Akili Interactive is meant to be part of a treatment plan that may include healthcare provider-directed therapy, medication and/or education, according to the FDA.

No serious side effects

“The EndeavorRx device offers a non-drug option for improving symptoms associated with ADHD in children and is an important example of the growing field of digital therapy and digital therapeutics,” Dr Jeffrey Shuren, director of the FDA’s Center for Devices and Radiological Health, said in an agency news release.

Approval of the device follows several studies that included a total of 600 children. The studies evaluated whether the game led to improvements in areas such as attention and school performance.

No serious side effects were reported. The most common ones were frustration, headache, dizziness, emotional reaction, and aggression, according to the FDA.

Dr Andrew Adesman, chief of developmental and behavioural paediatrics at Cohen Children’s Medical Center in New Hyde Park, New York, said the device seems promising and is likely to appeal to parents of kids with ADHD. But the jury is still out on its effectiveness, he added.

Diagnosis by a professional

“Presently, many parents of children with ADHD have difficulty accessing appropriate counselling services and are reluctant to consider treatment with medications that have proven effectiveness,” Adesman said. “To the extent that this product is only available by prescription, it is unclear to what extent insurance companies will cover the cost of this treatment approach.”

He said the video game is likely to be most effective in conjunction with other treatments.

ADHD is a common disorder that begins in childhood and affects about four million six- to 11-year-olds in the United States.

ADHD should be diagnosed by a professional based on symptoms such as inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity that interfere with functioning or development, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
