GOVERNMENT institutionsjoined hands in an endeavour tostop shark attacks at 2nd Beachin Port St John’s (PSJ) on theWild Coast.

In order to empower life guards to protectbathers, new safety equipment was handedover recently.

This followed the nine shark attacks – ofwhich seven were fatal – which occurred atthe beach over the 10-year period from March2004 to March 2014.

After the recent fatal attack on an Austriantourist, the beach was closed, but after the do-nation of new rescuing equipment it was reo-

pened just in time for the Easter weekend.The institutions that took a stand to fight

the shark attacks in one of the OR Tambo’stop tourist destinations, include the EasternCape Department of Economic Development,Environmental Affairs and Tourism (DE-DEA),ORTamboDistrict and thePSJMunici-pality.

The DEDEA contributed R1 million, plusR400 000 towards the training of life guards,while the OR Tambo district municipalitybought equipment to the value of R74 000. ThePSJ Municipality also committed R400 000 to-wards the training of life guards.

ORTamboMember of theMayoralCommit-tee for community services, Councillor Siya-kholwa Mlamli, revealed that they would alsoinstall CCTV cameras to assist in monitoring

the sharks before they could attack. In addi-tion, 50 life guards would get intensive train-ing to guard all nine PSJ beaches.

The MEC of the DEDEA, Mcebisi Jonas,said there was a need for more infrastructureand resources in PSJ to create a safe environ-ment.

He said his department was committed tochanging the situation in PSJ and to helpmake it more attractive to tourists.

He said his department was going to fundthe life guards so that they would not only beavailable during the season, but also thewhole year around. “We also want to empow-er the municipality with the knowledge tomanage the beaches and coastline. We needto do research in PSJ on climate change. Withthe migration of sharks to this beach, we can

change the situation to attract more touristsand researchers to the area,” said Jonas.

He said the Eastern Cape does not have re-search towns but that the PSJ Municipalityneeded to look into making their town attrac-tive to researchers.

The MEC also advised the municipality todo research into the possible constructing oftidal pools.

People could then swim in tidal pools in-stead of in the ocean, limiting the danger ofshark attacks considerably.

PSJ Mayor, Councillor Danisile Mangqo,expressed his gratitude to the government in-stitutions extending a helping hand in thefight against shark attacks at 2nd Beach. Hesaid this challenge was of national impor-tance.

Schoolsthat apply Permaculture principles are betterabletowithstandsucheventsandmaintainfoodsecurity, and help to prevent debilitating nutri-tional deficiencies such as kwashiorkor. Longterm droughts can be mitigated by plantingtrees and using innovative methods such asgrey water harvesting; this is particularly im-portant for the western parts of South Africa,where small changes in weather patterns canhave devastating consequences.For two decades the EduPlant team has sup-

DURING the opening of their new offices,the provincial leadership of the DisabledPeople of South Africa (DPSA) an-nounced that disabled people would haveprogrammes for the empowering and de-veloping of disabled people around smalltowns in the Eastern Cape.

Mncedisi Nkotha, the Eastern Capeprovincial manager of the DPSA saidtheir core business was to fight for therights of disabled people all over thecountry.

Owing to the challenges that disabledpeople are faced with, the provincialleadership saw it fit that there should be

programmes implemented to help disa-bled people to not feel inferior to individ-uals without disabilities.

Among the programmes set out for thedisabled people, is a free driving schoolthrough which a car would be circulatedamong the towns for active DPSA mem-bers with Learners’ Licences to practisetheir driving skills until getting their li-cences.

Another programme that would beconducted by the Bizana DPSA, is a door-to-door campaign to meet disabled peoplein the area.

“One of our biggest challenges is par-ents hiding their disabled children orfamily members because they areashamedof them,” saidNompikisoMazi-

yane, DPSA chairperson in Bizana.Maziyane said people should not be

ashamed of disabled family membersand that they should rather embrace theproblem by getting assistance.

The EC Provincial chairperson of theDPSA, Zilindile Hibhane, said this yearis about addressing a lot of challenges.

They also want to make sure that indi-viduals infringing on the rights of disa-bled people are dealt with accordingly.
