As South Africa enters 48 days since the national lockdown was enforced, and 12 days since the country entered lockdown Level 4, many are asking when restrictions will be eased. 

This as a number of the country’s top scientists have argued that an extended lockdown will not serve well in the country’s response to the coronavirus any longer.

News24.com | Teacher unions on school reopening: ‘We can’t have every province doing its own thing’

You Need Posted on by

Schools’ state of readiness to reopen during the Level 4 lockdown hangs in the balance yet again as teacher unions continue to raise what they call “gaps” in an updated report received from the Department of Basic Education.

On Monday, the department held a series of meetings with various stakeholders in the sector to consider schools’ state of readiness.

After Basic Education Minister Angie Motshekga’s announcement two weeks ago, principals and school management teams (SMTs) across the country were scheduled to resume duties on 11 May and teachers on 18 May to prepare for the return of pupils on the proposed date of 1 June. 

This, however, did not happen because some provinces, such as the Eastern Cape, were still not ready to start the process, while Gauteng and the Western Cape reportedly indicated that they were.

The unions said the report from the department covered the first part of the reopening which entailed staff going to back to work and putting in place non-negotiables ahead of pupils’ return.

Loopholes

However, there were various loopholes in the document which related to various issues, such as the delivery of personal protective equipment (PPE), according to executive director of the National Professional Teachers’ Organisation of South Africa (Naptosa), Basil Manuel.  

READ | Back to school: ‘Only Gauteng and Western Cape are ready’

“Saying that there are PPEs [is one story] and delivering them is another story. Those are the reports that we wanted and some of them were not shown,” he said.  

Manuel said the department was expected to report back to unions on Tuesday and provide clarity on issues raised at the meeting on Monday.

The unions were also concerned that only some provinces were ready to resume.

Manuel said there needed to be a deadline by which all provinces should be ready.

“We are one country. We can’t have every province doing its own thing. We need to have fixed dates and we need to know, so that our people start preparing for those.

“And we note that schools have not all been cleaned yet and we need to know by when is the final date by which schools need to be cleaned. So it’s little things like that, that members need to know in order to have a certain amount of comfort that measures are in place,” said Manuel.

National Teachers’ Union deputy president Allan Thompson said the union was also concerned that there was a “gap between the rich and the poor, where those who have will continue to benefit and those who do not have will suffer”.

Thompson said as it stands, it seems that schools in provinces claiming to be ready are those who have a limited number of students with a large infrastructure which will allow for social and physical distancing.

“The very same schools, are those that have been able to continue teaching and learning online which means when the year ends, those schools will always get flying colours and will be the first to be accepted in universities.

“But in the vast majority of schools, you find a problem that they are, for example, still waiting to be supplied with water. They still have schools that were torched and vandalised which up to now, we have never received a report that says those schools are ready to admit learners,” said Thompson. 

He added that the union was concerned that there were not any deadlines for activities such as deep cleaning and deliveries of equipment needed to clean schools. 

“Other provinces, including Gauteng, have confirmed that [they have] not received all the masks but instead they have some which can be shared amongst the SMTs and be able to start the process,” he said. 

Not all boxes ticked 

Thompson said not all boxes in the to-do lists have been ticked which would make it a challenge for schools to start the process of reopening. 

“We are saying it will be a mistake if we prematurely reopen schools. The results will be catastrophic. Our members are ready to go to work, we are ready to go to work and teach the nation but we want precautionary measures put in place [before].” 

The unions said they would wait for the department to respond.

Motshekga is expected to report to the National Coronavirus Command Council on Tuesday and Cabinet on Wednesday before briefing the nation on preparations on Thursday.

Sport24.co.za | Rabada leads SA cricketers keeping statisticians twitchy

You Need Posted on by

Notable statistical landmarks by leading cricketers worldwide for the specific 2020 calendar year look like being in short supply … the ongoing coronavirus crisis should ensure that.

Quite when South Africa’s own household names will swing into action again, either at international or domestic level, is a firmly unanswered question.

But there is every likelihood that certain of them will be waiting rather longer than would have been anticipated a few weeks ago to complete looming personal milestones.

One is star strike bowler Kagiso Rabada, currently on 197 Test wickets and who would have confidently expected to complete the task of getting to 200 in the two-Test series against West Indies, scheduled for July and August in the Caribbean but now unlikely to take place.

Already the holder of 43 caps, if he were to do the necessary in that series he would become the third fastest South African to 200 scalps, behind only Dale Steyn, who got there in his 39th Test, and Allan Donald (42): Shaun Pollock is currently third, having got there in his 49th Test.

As the fastest Proteas player to the mark, Steyn is also sixth best from any nation in history; Pakistani leg-spin ace Yasir Shah is comfortable leader after reaching 200 in only his 33rd appearance in 2018.

Rabada would still be in quality company if he hits the mark in his 44th Test – whenever that now may be – as he would have emulated Alec Bedser (England), Richard Hadlee (New Zealand), Joel Garner (West Indies) and Ravindra Jadeja of India.

Two now-retired former Proteas icons, Hashim Amla and Vernon Philander, meanwhile, are in a holding pattern to complete notable domestic-level landmarks.

Philander had his intended UK summer contract with Somerset cancelled this week (though it may be restored in 2021), given the increasing probability that no significant county cricket is played in 2020, with the veteran all-rounder on 4,941 first-class career runs – only 59 shy of 5,000.

Amla is earmarked for a two-year Kolpak deal with Surrey, and awaiting completion of 10,000 runs at List-A limited-overs level: he is presently on 9,973.

Here are some other Proteas players close to landmarks:

*Temba Bavuma (7,915) needs 85 runs to reach 8,000 first-class runs.

*Quinton de Kock (2,934) needs 66 runs to complete 3,000 at Test level, and (on 191) requires nine more catches to reach 200 in the same format.

*Faf du Plessis, on 3,901, needs 99 runs to reach 4,000 in Tests.

*Dean Elgar (13,940) is 60 runs shy of 14,000 first-class runs.

*Dwaine Pretorius (99) is just one wicket short of reaching 100 at List-A level.

*David Miller (6,900) needs exactly 100 to complete 7,000 in all T20 cricket.

*Aiden Markram requires 55 runs to achieve 3,000 at the List-A crease, and another 45 to crack the 1,000-mark in T20 international cricket.

Category: PA Public Awareness

​Objective of this Joint Communication This Joint Communication

(Communication) sets out the responses by the Prudential Authority (PA) to the corona-virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) as well as the observed and predicted impact it has had, and is likely to have, on the South African economy, specifically co-operative financial institutions (CFIs) and co-operative banks (co-op banks). The approach of the PA is supported by the Co-operative Banks Development Agency (CBDA).
 
 The PA and the CBDA recognise that COVID-19 has had, and will have, an impact on the financial soundness of CFIs and co-op banks. The PA, nevertheless, expects that these institutions will continue to operate in a prudent, sound and socially responsible manner. To this end, this Communication outlines some of the temporary regulatory and supervisory actions that will be implemented by the PA to alleviate the stress caused by the COVID-19 pandemic on CFIs and co-op banks.
 
The PA and the CBDA will continue to engage with the financial co-operative sector as well as all other relevant stakeholders as further analysis on the impact of COVID-19 is conducted, and may issue further communication or implement additional actions in this regard.

Health24.com | 16 000-plus people have volunteered to be infected with coronavirus – but no sign trial will go ahead

You Need Posted on by

The general goal is to try and distance yourself as much as possible from the novel coronavirus. However, a controversial approach called 1 Day Sooner is aiming to purposely infect a large number of volunteers with the virus to speed up clinical trials. 

When Health24 reported on this approach in late April 2020, 2 300 volunteers had already signed up for this grassroots effort. But that number has now grown to more than 16 000, according to the latest reports.

What is the goal of this approach?

Co-founder Josh Morrison wants to use this campaign to demonstrate that many people are keen to participate in helping to speed up clinical trials and the possible success of a vaccine.

Without a successful vaccine or treatment, the only reality is to live with the virus and practice measures of physical distancing. A vaccine is the only way to return to a normal world as we know it. Unfortunately, developing a vaccine takes a long time and comprises several stages – the four phases of clinical trials being crucial to establish safety and efficacy in a large, diverse group of people.

Morrison stated that the goal of 1 Day Sooner is to recruit as many people as possible to pre-qualify them as suitable to participate in human trials as they occur.

Controversial or selfless?

But what about the ethics and risks involved in voluntarily being infected with a virus? Dr Nir Eyal, director of the Center for Population-Level Bioethics at Rutgers University agrees that it’s not a standard approach, but that it may help.

“It’s not every day we give a healthy individual an exposure to a pathogen – the very same thing doctors are trying to protect people from, but it becomes increasingly clear that the only sustainable exit from the current health and societal crisis is a vaccine, and there are ways to conduct such a trial that are perfectly ethical,” he said in a statement.

What does the human challenge entail?

Initially, people who sign up for this challenge should be relatively young and healthy.

According to an article published in Nature, the risk of harm in volunteers is reduced significantly when they are between the ages of 20 and 45 and generally healthy.

The goal is not to make anyone significantly ill.

Volunteers are also kept safe by daily monitoring and access to medical care once they are infected, Morrison said.

Would authorities allow this?

While there are currently no plans for a public study in the US, several politicians and volunteers are pushing for this, and the World Health Organization (WHO) has released a document to set out criteria for an ethically acceptable plan.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has never allowed a trial of this type for a disease this new, especially without a specific cure, but hasn’t ruled out the possibility completely. Right now, they are open to the idea, but advise caution.

“Human challenge studies are a way to expedite the development of a vaccine to prevent Covid-19,” the FDA stated in an article. “Because these studies involve exposing volunteers to the virus, the studies raise a variety of potential scientific, feasibility, and ethical issues. The FDA will work with those who are interested in conducting human challenge trials to help them evaluate these issues.”

Dr Matthew Memoli, director of clinical studies at the Laboratory of Infectious Diseases at the National Institutes of Health, also stated that a human challenge trial of this type might be pursued as the pandemic is rapidly changing our society.
