The IFP and DA have called for the Kwazulu-Natal Health MEC to improve safety and security measures at public health facilities in the province following a shooting at a Durban hospital on Friday.
“The IFP in KZN is deeply concerned with the poor safety and security measures at KZN public hospitals and calls on the KZN MEC of Health, Nomagugu Simelane-Zulu to come up with a well detailed plan armed with [a] clear timeframe and tangible solutions on how and when she intends to improve safety in provincial hospitals,” IFP KZN Provincial Spokesperson on Health Ncamisile Nkwanyana said in a statement on Sunday.
This comes after two gunmen shot a patient ‘execution style’ in front of staff and patients at Clairwood Hospital in Mobeni at around 18:30 on Friday, according to the health department on Saturday.
The 47-year-old patient in the male surgical ward had been receiving treatment for previous gunshot wounds, News24 reported.
He had been transferred from King Edward VIII Hospital to Clairwood Hospital on December 23 for wound care and rehabilitation.
The shooters are still on the run.
Simelane-Zulu admitted in a statement on Saturday that the safety system in place was not as effective as she would like it to be.
“Notwithstanding the fact that these people were armed, and that they also threatened our security guards, we should have had a system in place that ought to have made it difficult for them to get away. We will have to urgently re-look at our security protocols and make improvements as far as possible, within our limited financial means,” she said.
She said they would urgently have to look at their security protocols and make improvements within their limited financial means.
The IFP was concerned at the frequency of criminals “doing as they please” in government hospitals.
“This incident is a clear indication that the KZN Department of Health has failed dismally to take the issue of hospital safety seriously.
“Hospitals and clinics are supposed to be safe environments for patients, health care workers as well as the general public. Far too often we hear of staff as well as patients being assaulted, killed and robbed in hospitals,” Nkwanyana said.
The IFP added that it has raised concerns about lack of safety in hospitals “many times in the past” which allegedly fell on deaf ears.
The political party further highlighted government’s promise to put police in all public health care facilities, which is yet to materialise, according to Nkwanyana.
“If police were dispatched as soon as the plan was made public, this incident, a loss of life would have been avoided.
“It is, therefore, high time for the KZN Department of Health to address these issues in the short, medium and long term. As a political head of the Department it is the duty of the MEC to come up with tangible solutions to address this growing crisis in KZN public health care facilities,” Nkwnayana said.
The Democratic Alliance in KZN expressed similar sentiments, saying the shooting followed recent violent attacks at other health facilities in the province, including KwaMsane, Nkonjeni and RK Khan Hospital.
“The DA will be calling on MEC Simelane-Zulu to fast-track a major overhaul of hospital and clinic current security measures, including improved training of security personnel, better visitor entry and security checks, CCTV cameras and evacuation procedures.
“There must also be a closer relationship between such facilities and their local police stations,” DA KZN Spokesperson on Health, Rishigen Viranna said.
Captain Nqobile Gwala told News24 on Sunday that “the matter is still under investigation”.
You made your resolution – this year was finally going to be the year you lost weight. But then your neighbour stopped by with a plate of cookies, and well, your resolve didn’t even last a day. Maybe next year?
But instead of looking at your resolutions as a sweeping year-long project, what if you concentrated on making healthy changes every Monday? That way, if you slip up and dive into that pile of cookies, another chance to get it right is just a few days away.
It’s called the Healthy Monday Reset, and the idea is to send you into the week with a fresh mindset.
Mindset change
“What we really want people to do is implement a mindset change. If you think about the New Year’s resolution, you pick one day a year to start changes and if you fall off the wagon, it’s another year,” explained Ron Hernandez, the managing director of The Monday Campaigns.
“But with Monday, you have 52 opportunities in a year. If you fall short one week, there’s always an opportunity right around the corner, so you don’t have to wait that long to make a change,” he said.
This, Hernandez added, is something you can really integrate: “‘Monday, I will make better choices.'”
A study conducted with Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health found that people often describe Monday as the day they are seeking out health information.
“Monday becomes a cue, and if you start off the week well, you’re more likely to keep going through the rest of the week,” he said.
The Monday Campaigns recently surveyed nearly 1 000 adults with Data Decisions Group. Sixty percent of the group was white, 14% black and 18% Hispanic. The remaining 8% identified as “other”.
Only about one-quarter of respondents said they kept their resolutions all year long. Twenty percent made it just two weeks.
Some of the challenges they reported were staying on track, a lack of discipline, getting started and not seeing results fast enough.
Three-quarters of respondents said they thought refreshing their goals every Monday might help them maintain their resolutions.
Reflect and learn
Samantha Heller, a registered dietitian with NYU Langone Health in New York City, likes the idea of weekly goals. They’re more realistic, more achievable and less daunting than a year-long resolution, she said.
“You can use the Monday reset to reflect and learn. If my goal is to have vegetables every day for lunch, how did I do? If I managed three days, that’s good, but how can I plan so I’ll do better? People often make resolutions whether they’re prepared to do the work or not, but making a successful change takes thoughtful planning,” Heller said.
So, if you want to meet that vegetable every day for lunch goal, you have to plan time to shop, and then to prepare your lunches. “Learn to make a plan and set aside the time to reach your goal. You set aside time to get your hair done. Set aside time to achieve your goals,” Heller said.
And, if you didn’t reach your goal this week, look back at what works and then start fresh again on Monday. She said it’s important to be kind to yourself if you slip up.
“Change is difficult and there’s no quick fix. Start taking it step by step. You can’t walk on to a tennis court for the first time and start playing a Wimbledon-level match,” she explained.
“Use Mondays to reassess, learn and start doing something to be a happy, healthier person,” Heller added.
Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed Ali has asked President Cyril Ramaphosa to intervene in the dispute between Ethiopia and Egypt about the building of the Great Ethiopian Renaissance Dam.
The 2019 Nobel Peace recipient said at a press conference at the end of his three-day official visit to South Africa on Sunday that Ethiopia believed in a win-win approach to resolve this issue.
“I made this request to President Ramaphosa as he is a good friend of both Ethiopia and Egypt, and as an incoming chair of the African Union [for 2020] he can make this discussion with both parties to resolve the issue peacefully,” he said.
Abiy stressed that peace was necessary for economic development.
Ramaphosa, who extended a warm welcome to Abiy and who invited him to attend the ANC’s 108th birthday celebrations in Kimberley on Saturday, said he was willing to help craft an agreement.
“I had a discussion with [Egyptian] President [Abdel Fattah] el-Sisi and he said they are willing to have discussions with Ethiopia, and the same has been pronounced by Prime Minister Abiy, and I believe a solution is possible,” he said.
Efforts in the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa this week to resolve the long-running dispute between Ethiopia, Egypt and Sudan over the giant hydropower dam on the Nile, resulted in a deadlock. But a deadline of Wednesday (January 15) has been agreed with Washington, which has acted as a mediator in the dispute.
Disagreement about the filling and the operation of the $4 billion dam has sparked a diplomatic crisis between Egypt and Ethiopia, as Cairo fears that the dam would deprive its more than 100 million population of the Nile waters, on which they are dependent.
Ramaphosa and Abiy also spoke about the AU’s 2020 theme of silencing the guns.
South Africa’s chairing of the AU coincides with its third non-permanent two-year membership of the United Nations Security Council.
Ramaphosa said a peaceful and stable environment was important for development and he congratulated Abiy on the peace he brokered between his country and neighbouring Eritrea after his appointment in 2018.
A diplomat told News24 that escalating troubles in the continent meant the deadline of silencing the guns in Africa in 2020 would not be met, but would have to be deferred by a decade.
Abiy, in turn, invited South African businesses to invest in his country, which has in recent years had an economic growth rate of more than 7%.
Just like Ethiopians had come to South Africa and invest here, Abiy said South Africans should “come and invest in Ethiopia, and come and make it their home as well”.
He said his administration wanted to open his country – which was previously closed to foreign investors – for business.
“We look to the private sector to come and help create prosperity for the mutual benefit for both sides.”
He referred specifically to telecoms, energy and logistics as industries where South Africans have expertise.
In response to a question about whether Ethiopia was ready, from a logistics and peace and security view, to hold elections, Abiy admitted there were problems, but said: “we need to go to elections to confront [those] challenges”.
Abiy was also asked to comment on United States President Donald Trump’s remarks that he should have shared the Nobel Prize with Abiy because he helped create peace in the region.
Abiy said he wasn’t aware of the criteria the Nobel Committee used to select recipients for the prize.
“I’m not working for the prize,” he said, but added, “if President Trump [has complaints] it must go to Oslo and not Ethiopia”.
Abiy later rushed to Johannesburg where he addressed a crowd of a few hundred Ethiopian expatriates in the Wanderers Stadium and urged them to work for peace in their home country in the same way Nelson Mandela worked for peace in South Africa.
Today I held fruitful discussions with President Cyril Ramaphosa on various issues, including elevating the partnership of our two countries to a strategic level. We have also agreed to form a joint committee that will address the concerns of Ethiopians living in South Africa. pic.twitter.com/cKFD6BNS5m
Cape Town – Uncapped seamer Dane Paterson being the only additional, on-site presence to the XI who did duty in the New Year Test defeat raises an interesting question: are the Proteas planning to field a five-strong pace battery against England in the third clash at St George’s Park from Thursday?
That has already been a source of speculation in some media after South Africa’s selectors confirmed, a few days ago, an unchanged extended squad of 16.
But they also went a long way to revealing the Proteas’ hand for the key clash in the Friendly City – the four-match series is locked at 1-1 – by releasing all of Temba Bavuma and Beuran Hendricks (Lions), Andile Phehlukwayo (Dolphins) and Rudi Second (Warriors) to play in a new round of 4-Day Franchise Series fixtures beginning on Monday.
So with those games (Cobras v Titans in Cape Town, Warriors v Knights in East London and Dolphins v Lions in Maritzburg) only due to finish on day one of the Test, it stands to reason that any of that quartet would only be summoned to the camp in a last-ditch emergency.
While head coach Mark Boucher and company are probably favoured to resist a knee-jerk hallmark at this point by installing the same side who scrapped acceptably hard – still in transitional times, remember – before being defeated at Newlands, either of long-time first-choice spinner Keshav Maharaj or all-rounder Dwaine Pretorius (though that move would thin the batting further) seem the likeliest endangered figures if Paterson is suddenly pushed to the forefront for a Test debut.
More traditionally renowned for his death bowling and other cerebral skills in white-ball cricket, the 30-year-old from the Cape Cobras would represent a slightly surprise choice for the third Test; the likelier scenario is that he is in PE primarily as cover in the lead-up for the three main pace incumbents in the SA ranks – Kagiso Rabada, Vernon Philander and Anrich Nortje.
Even more debatable would be if he nudged out Maharaj for a berth, as that would leave the Proteas with an excessive stock of five seamers on a usually sluggish surface which generally cries out for the presence of at least one frontline spinner.
There is an understandable theory in Test cricket that if a captain has five quickies available to him, four tend to do the overwhelming bulk of the work and the fifth becomes a relatively redundant figure.
Left-armer Maharaj isn’t in his most consummate Test form, a pattern that has lingered since the collectively depressing tour of India at the outset of the current summer.
He has not, in fact, taken anything more than three wickets in a single innings over the course of a further 14 since his career-best (and unlikely to ever be repeated by him?) nine for 129 in Sri Lanka’s first knock at Colombo in mid-2018.
Yet Maharaj has usually still managed to keep a pretty good lid on things from an economy point of view, and perhaps a bit more confidence needs to be placed again into his attack-minded guile and variation in the Friendly City after he lapsed – presumably under orders to a good degree – into an arguably too defensive, plant-it-in-the-rough mode from over the wicket against the English at Newlands.
He also had no benefit of a solid period in first-class cricket ahead of the current series, the T20 Mzansi Super League occupying an inconveniently lopsided chunk of the few weeks before Joe Root’s team arrived here.
Of the 18 Tests played at St George’s Park in the post-isolation period – beginning with the near-funereal first in 1992/93 when SA fielded Omar Henry and India enjoyed the services of both Anil Kumble and Venkatapathy Raju – only four have shown instances where at least one of the teams involved have seen fit to go in without a specialist slow bowler at all.
Only once has the policy borne the satisfying fruit of a win for the side in question, too: in 2013/14, when the Proteas beat Australia (helped by some magical bursts of reverse swing from a Dale Steyn-led attack) with a pace arsenal of Steyn, Philander, Morne Morkel and Wayne Parnell, with only part-time tweaking help from Dean Elgar and JP Duminy.
South Africa came a cropper to England at St George’s in 2004/05 when their one-dimensional seam attack was Shaun Pollock, Makhaya Ntini, a rookie Steyn, Andrew Hall and Zander de Bruyn, as did West Indies in 1998/99 when they tried an all-speed battery of Messrs Ambrose, Walsh, Dillon and McLean.
The home nation did earn a draw there with England in 1999/2000, despite again snubbing a spinner: while the tourists fielded Phil Tufnell for variety to their own plans, the SA bowling line-up was Donald, Pollock, Hayward, Klusener and Kallis.
