MSUNDUZI Hospice Association hasformedanewrelationshipwithtradi-tional healers in theUMgungundlovudistrict. This is aspart of its approachof overall holistic treatment to thecommunity.

Speaking to Maritzburg Fever,directorofMsunduziHospiceAssoci-

Palliativecare is specializedmedi-calcarefocusedonprovidingpatientswith relief from the symptoms, pain,and stress of a serious illness. Thegoal is to improve quality of life forboth the patient and the family.

He said that the HPCA preparedmaterials which provided the tradi-tional healers with introductory in-formation about palliative care.

“I sat in on the meetings as I wasinterested in finding out more aboutit,andIrealisedthepotentialimmedi-ately forMsunduziHospice. The ideais to empower the traditional healersin order for them to recognise whenthe need arises for the patient to bereferred to Hospice,” said Oxford-Huggett.

At the beginning of 2013, Oxford-Huggett tried to implement the initia-tive at Msunduzi Hospice by assign-ing one staffmember to act as liaisonbetween the hospice care givers andthe traditional healers.

“Of course, as with any newproject, there were teething prob-lems, however the primary focus ofthe relationship is referral,” he said.

By the end of 2013, the traditionalhealers were looking for more so

Oxford-Huggett offered them the op-portunity to join themonthly trainingand meetings that the Hospice caregivers have, allowing them to gain abetter understanding of caring forand treating patients.

“Wearestill intheveryearlystagesbut what is important to note is thatthe traditional healers want to be apart of the relationship,” he said.

THE KZN Department of Trans-port has promised that thingswill go back to normal at the

Mkondeni licencing centre by thisweek.

KZN Transport spokesperson,Nathi Sukazi, said that the centre isunderstaffed for the quantity of workthat needs to be done.

“Internallywehada restructuring

process, and as part of this therewasan agreement that we need to hirepeople. The department is in theprocess of doing that. There arepeople who work at other transportdepartment regional offices whowould like to relocate to PMB.Wewilltrain those people and transfer themto theMkondeni centre,” said Sukazi.

Last week, scores of people whohad come to renew their drivers’licencesorbookforalearners’licensetest at this licencing centrewere sent

backhomeas theadministrativestaffwere on strike over staff shortages.

The Maritzburg Fever visited thepremises and public notices apolo-gised for the issue, and read that“...due to operational challenges, weare operating at reduced capacity...”

One local woman, who had cometorenewherdriver’slicence,saidthatthiswasahuge inconvenience forheras she was due to leave for SaudiArabia on 6 May.

“Onlyafewpeoplewereallowedto

get inside. They did not tell us whatwas happening. I work overseas so Ihave tomakesure this gets sortedoutwhile I am here,” she said.

Thesecurityguardstationedattheentrance to where the learners’license test room is located,confirmed that only people who hadcome to sit for their learners’ testswere allowed inside the building.

Gugu Ngubane, who was fumingand ready for a fight, asked for thecentre manager to come out and

explain the status quo.“I can’t wastemymoney for noth-

ing. The manager must come hereand explain to us. This shows a lackof respect for the public. I have usedmoney to get here. Will they give memy money back?” she said.

Ngubane had come to renew herdriver’s licence.

One driver who had lost his driv-er’s licence said that he was thinkingofgoing to theMooiRiver licencecen-tre.

Speaking to Maritzburg Fever, CyrilVilakazi, one of the traditional healersin the programme, said that he haslearnt many valuable things.

Vilakazi, who operates in HowickWest, has been a traditional healer forover 20 years and sees, on average, 20people a week.

He said that with the help of theprogrammes that HPCA has imple-mented, he is now able to betterunderstand and identify the illnessespeople who he consults suffer with.

“Before the programme, I hadmisconceptions about how Hospiceworks, however with the training, I canbetter understand how palliative careworks and I am able to use differentapproaches from my private practicewhich enhances my work,” said Vilaka-zi.

He said that he is now able to iden-tify who the appropriate people areand refer them immediately to Hos-pice so they can get the care that need.He has already referred five people toHospice

ation, Warren Oxford-Huggett, said that therelationship was in itsvery early stages but thatthere is huge potential.

“We have found thatalmost 80% of ourpatients seek help fromtraditional healers atsome stage during theirillness,” he said.

He said that the benefits ofthisparticularrelationshipwillonlybeseenoverthelongterm,but that thewheel has been setin motion.

“It is important to remem-ber that we at Hospice areworking with the traditionalhealers, they are not workingfor us. Together we willenhance the quality of pallia-tive care for our patients,” saidOxford-Huggett.

ATRIOofCarterHighSchoolmatricpupilshavebeen praisedbytheirschool,familyand friends for saving Louisa Boshoff

(83) and her two dogs from her burning homein Montrose.

Terrel Gous (17), Calvin Scannell (18) andLukePieterse(18)wereontheirwayhomefromschool when they noticed the burning house.

Gous said that Scannell and he were at thebackofPieterse’sbakkiewhen they sawsmokecomingfromahouse.TheyquicklytoldPieterseto turn around so they could go back and help.

When the boys got to the house, they couldnot seeanyoneoutside so they jumpedover thegate to check what was going on.

“When we got there, we saw an old ladystanding outside the house. Shewas burnt andin shock.Weaskedher if therewasanyoneelse

in the house and she told us that her two dogswere inside,” said Gous.

He said that they got the lady to safety andleft her at a neighbour’s house, and then thethree of them went back to find the dogs.

“There was no question about it, we weregoing to find the dogs and that was that.Whenwe got inside, the loungewas filledwith smokesowedecidedtotakeourshirtsoffandusethemto cover our faces so we could breathe better,”said Gous.

“Weheard thingspoppingandexplodingallaroundus butwe rushed to find the dogs,” saidScannell.

Gous said they noticed a room where thedoor was closed and ran towards it.

“When we opened it the smoke poured outbut wewent in and called for the dogs and oneran out. Eventually the seconddog also ran outof the house andwe took it to safety. As soon aswe got out of the house, the geyser fell through

the roof.By thenall thewindowshadburst andsmoke was coming out of every direction andthe fire department and the police took over,”said Gous.

The boys said that only after the adrenalinehad worn off did they realize that their livescould also have been in danger.

“Whenweallgothomewerealizedhowseri-ous itwas.We’re just glad that everyone is safeand that no onewas seriously hurt,” saidGous.

Theboyswerehonouredataspecial assem-bly at Carter High School and were awardedservice to the community certificates.

“We did this for them because it was out ofpure humanity that they rushed in to help. Weare very proud of them,” said Jenny Rogers,marketing manager at the school.

“We are grateful to everyone for their wellwishes and thanks but we didn’t do it for thepraise. Nothing went through our minds. Wejust went with our instincts,” said Gous.

SAFIRE Insurance plans toincrease cancer awareness andthe importanceofearlydetection

through its new initiative to Paint PMB

Pink, which took place recently.Naomi Hardman, internal auditor

at the company, said the idea to raiseawarenessaboutpeoplesufferingwithcancer and people whose lives havebeen affected by the disease startedwhen her friend was diagnosed with

and without makeup“And many guys arrived in pink

“After telling them, they were keento get involved, and so the idea wasborntoextendthechallengetoallbusi-nesses in PMB,” said Hardman.

She said that some companiesjumped on board with great enthusi-asm, but some companies, arguablythose with a larger male presence,were tentative.

“The banks seem to be game, andsomelawfirmshavealsoshownakeeninterestinrespondingtothechallenge.Timewill tell, butwe hope to getmanyresponses and group company selfies.Wehavehad firmsoutside of PMBalsoshow an interest, and one attorney inCape Town confirmed she will betaking part too,” said Hardman.

Safire Insurance donatedR7000 toCansa Pietermaritzburg with the helpof thosewho participated in the initia-tive, Paint PMB Pink.

Hardman said that Safire is acompanythatlovestosupportcommu-nity initiatives.

“Obviously depending on thesupportand interest fromthebusinesscommunity, we may be interested incontinuing with this initiative in thefuture.”

HOW hard should you pushyourself? Does more sweatmean you burned more fat?

A sports scientist addresses someof the most common exercisemyths.

I will burn more fat if I exerciselonger at a lower intensity

So you’ve heard about the “fatburning zone”. In other words, if youwant to lose weight, you need toexercise at a low intensity. Whatfew people realise is that you actu-ally burn the highest proportion offat while at rest (around 70 percentof your energy comes from fat) andby now we know thatbeing a couchpotato doesn’tmake you thin.The mostimportant fo-cus in exerciseand fat weightcontrol is notthe percentageof energy coming

from fat during exercise, but thetotal energy cost of exercise, or howmany calories are burned duringthe activity.

The faster you walk, step or run,for example, the more calories youuse per minute. Therefore at lowexercise intensity, you need to exer-cise for a very long time (far morethan an hour per day) to match thetotal energy expenditure of a highintensity workout.

I can get my dream body if I justtrain hard enough

Both weight gain and loss isimpacted by many factors, includ-ing dietary intake, your environ-ment and genetics. All individuals

will not lose the same amountof weight on the same exerciseprogram. Some individuals willactually respond very little to aregular exercise regimen interms of losing fat weight

(these individuals are callednon-responders). This is good ev-

idence to show that exercise perse doesn’t make you

thin, especially ifyou’re not en-

dowed with theright genes.Losing body

fat is a com-plicated

matter,and itgoes farbeyonda regulartraining

pro-gra mme. The

good news, however,is that research hasshown that beingoverweight and fitis much betterthan being thinand sedentary, asfitness is directly

related to a lowerrisk of all-cause

mortality.Weight training makes women

big and bulkyWeight training can make you

bulkup-ifyouhavetheXYchromo-some and it is your distinct inten-tion to build huge muscles. Eventhen, it is no easy feat to gainmuscle. It takes time and effort, acarefully compiled scientific train-ing programme and finely tunednutritional strategies. For women,however, these sound strategieswill not be enough.

The reason being that womenhave nowhere near the requiredtestosterone levels to put on anysignificant amounts of musclemass. If you do see women withbulky muscles, you know for surethat their dietary habits includeillegal substances such as anabolicsteroids and other designer drugs.There is just no other way.

The truth is that strength train-ing approximately two to fourtimes a week, doing a variety ofexercises for the major musclegroups, will help women to achievea lean and toned appearance, andstrengthen bones and joints. Infact, since women are more proneto osteoporosis, it could be saidthat women might actually benefitmore from weight training thanmen.

If you’re not drenched in sweat,you’re not working hard enough

The harder you work out, themore calories you’ll burn within agiven period and thus the more fatyou stand to lose, but how muchyou sweat does not necessarilyreflect how hard you’re working.

Some people tend to sweatbucket loads while others don’tsweat much at all, regardless oftheir fitness level or degree of exer-tion. Your sweat rate is related toyour body weight, your geneticmakeup and external factors suchas environmental conditions andclothing.

Acne is one of themost common skindisorders in modern society. Acne or acnevulgaris affects bothmales and femalesespecially teenagers but can also affectadults. Acne is caused through an overexcretion of the sebaceous or oil gland. Thisis normally due to a hormonal imbalance inthe body however there are other factors thatcontribute to the formation of acne. Theseinclude stress, pregnancy, neglect or improperproduct use. Studies show that there’s anincreased risk if an individual has a familyhistory of acne.

During puberty, there is an increase inthe production of themale hormone,testosterone, in men and womenwhich leads

to an over active sebaceous gland. Oncethere is an increased production of oil it leadsto plug formation within the pore creatingan environment where bacteria grows andmultiplies forming acne.

Contrary to popular belief acne is not causedby poor diet or bad hygiene although thiscould aggravate a skin problem. Acneis characterized by the formation ofblackheads, white heads, pimples, cysts andabscesses.

It can also result in psychological and socialproblems. Acne patients could have lowesteem as a result of their appearance.Picking and squeezing spots increases thechances of scarring.

Everything we do on the internet is a series of communications be-tween your computer and another computer somewhere else.

adding value to the game in the prov-ince. Bartmann, who graduatedthroughclubrugby,knows thevalueofgrassroots rugby and also supportsvariousDurbanclubs. (TimeforaMar-itzburg club now, hey Wahl?).

The Sharks have repaidBartmann’s support by having thecompanynamebrandedontheSharksmatch jersey.
