Rabies campaignplanned for 1 Sept

The s tate veterinarian for Tubatse andFeta kogomo, Doctor Florence Makgamat a,says a r abies awareness campaign isplanned for 01 September in Kgautswane.

Dr Makgamata sa ys a large number of people have died during the past year of rabies in Limpopo, but there was no deathsin the Sekhukhune dis t rict . She urged thecommu nity to keep up their dilligence inpreventing the disease by letting their pets(dogs and cat s) be vaccinat ed againstrabies and to remain aware of the dangersof the disease. She s t ressed tha t th edisease can be t ransmit ted between al lmammals a nd between humans as wel l . inshort sh e said th e following should beobserved around the disease:

Rabies is a fatal, viral disease to whichhuma ns ar e also suscept ible. The diseaseis mainly t ransm it ted by the bi te of aninfected animal as the virus is found inthe sa l iva of a rabid an imal . Symptomscan vary widely. The most common signsare behavioural changes (e.g. wild animalsappear t ame an d domest ic animals becomeaggressive), sal ivat ion an d a bnormalvocal isat ion and incoordinat ion. H uman sand a nimals also become very thirs ty, butcannot drink water.

All warm blooded animals can contractand then t ransmit rabies . The mostcommon species in South Africa that canbecome infected with rabies are. dogs,cats , horses , cat t le, goats , sh eep and wildanimals .

Dr Makgamata says pet owners are

compelled by law (Animal Disea ses Act 35of 1984) to ensure t hat their dogs and cats

are vaccinated a t 3 months of age againstrabies , repeated within 12 months (fi rs tbooster) and then every 3 years (followupboosters). She says owners do not have towait for thr ee months as a pu ppy can bevaccinated when i t i s a day old. Thevaccine is a vai lable from a veterinaryclinic or hospital, animal welfareorganisat ions and Veterinary Services(s tate veterinarians and animal heal thtechnicians).

All suspect cases must be reported thenearest s tate veterinarian or animalheal th t echnician.

Dr Makgama ta sa ys people should nottake chan ces and that al l dog bi tes shouldbe t reated as bi tes from rabid animals . In

our area people should visit Dilokonghospi tal where t reatment against rabiescan be given immediately. Treatmentagainst rabies cannot be given at clinics .People should take note that oncesymptoms develop (headaches and fever,muscle pains , fear of water, ment aldisorder, difficult swa llowing, par alysis,vomiting, profuse salivat ion, hoarse voice,irritability, anxiety, etc.) There is noeffect ive t rea tment for h uman s oranimals .

She says a lthough vaccination of petswill be done at the awareness day on 1September, people can bring their pets tothe s tat e vet at an y t ime to be vaccinated,they do not need to wait for campa igns.The vaccinations are free in order tocontr ol this danger ous disease. The precise

but it will be some months before it isavailable.The new influenza A(H1N1) appears to beas contagious a s seasonal influenza, and isspreading fast par t icularly among youngpeople (from ages 10 to 45). The severit y of the disease r anges from very mildsymptoms to severe i l lnesses th at canresult in death. The majority of peoplewho contra ct the virus experience themilder disease an d recover without

ant iviral t reat ment or medical care. Of themore serious cases , more tha n ha lf of hospi tal ized people had u nderlying heal thcondi t ions or weak immun e systems.Most people experience mild illness andrecover at home. When should someoneseek medical care?A person should seek medical care if theyexperience shortness of breath or difficultybreathing, or if a fever continues morethan three days. For parents with a youngchild who is ill, seek medical car e if a childhas fast or labored breathing, cont inuingfever or convulsions (seizures).

S u p p o r t i v e c a r e a t h o m e - rest ing,drinking plenty of fluids and using a painreliever for aches - is adequa te forrecovery in most cases. (A non-aspirinpain reliever should be used by childrenand young adu l ts because of the r isk of Reyes s yndrome.) Source World HealthOrganisation

At this t ime, WHO considers th e overal lseverity of the influenza pandemic to bemoderate. This assessment is based on

scientific evidence available t o WHO, aswell as input from i ts Member Sta tes onthe pa ndemics impact on t heir heal thsystems, an d th eir social a nd economicfunctioning.T h e m o d e r a t e a s s e s s m e n t r e f l e ct st h a t :1.Most people recover from in fectionwithout the need for hospitalization ormedical care.2.Overall, nat ional levels of severe illnessfrom influenza A(H1N1) appear similar tolevels seen during local seasonal influenzaperiods, although high levels of diseasehave occurred in some local ar eas a ndinst i tut ions.3.Overal l , hospitals an d heal th caresystems in most countries ha ve been ableto cope with the numbers of people seeking

care, al though some faci li t ies and systemshave been stressed in some localities.WHO is concerned about current pat tern sof serious cases and deat hs tha t areoccurring primarily among young persons,including the previously heal thy a nd t hosewith pr e-existing medical conditions orpregnancy. Large outbreaks of diseasehave not yet been reported in manycountries, and the full clinical spectrum of disease is not yet known.

This building will house all the depart ment s of themun icipality in one building, making service delivery easier and m ore accessable to rat epayers. In t he meantime more and more allegations of corru ption in the municipality are surfacing and as a n ewspaper Plat inumGazette cann ot be ignorant of these allegations. Some of these allegations are quite serious and rea ders willbe kept upda ted of development s in this r egard. At this sta ge proof of corrupt ion is still absent .

Progressing fast

On Wednesday th e LimpopoLegislature made a landmark breakthrough regarding theenforcement of the LimpopoPetit ions Act no 4 of 2003.

This was after th e BloubergMunicipal , manager Mr Isaa cIke Makhura was convicted atthe Polokwane Magistrate Courtfor contr avent ion of the Act. Themunicipal manager was chargedwith one count of contraveningsection 11 (1) and with fivecount s of contra vening section11 (3).

The municipal managerpleaded gui l ty to al l the chargesand was convicted on allcharges. He was sent enced to 12months imprisonment or R20000 fine, half of the sentence wassuspended on the condi t ion thathe is not found gu ilty of thesam e offences.

In pu rsu ing th i s mat t e r up t othis s ta ge, the Legis lature didnot intend to punish, but to senda s t rong message to every personregarding the importance of thisAct and the role of theLegis lature in part icular. Thiscase is the fi rs t , not only in theProvince but in the whole of South Africa.

In November 2005, theStanding Commit tee on P ubl icPart icipat ion and Pet i t ion in theLimpopo Legislature received apetition from South AfricanNational Civic Organisation,(SANCO), Capr icorn Region. Inthe petition, SANCO complainedabout al legat ions of, inter al ia,corruption, nepotism,malpract ice, in the municipal ity.

The commit tee requested aresponse from the Municipal i tyin relat ion to th e al legat ionscontained in th e pet i t ion. Thisreques t was followed by ameet ing between therepresentat ives of theMunicipal i ty, SANCO an d th eDepartment of LocalGovernment and Housing. Aspart of the resolut ions of themeet ing, the mu nicipal i ty wasrequested to provide thecommit tee with documents , werenecessary to enable thecommit tee t o set t le the pet i t ion.

Later t he mun icipal i ty optednot to further cooperate with thecommittee in resolving thematt er. The commit tee th ensubpoena ed officials of themunicipality to appear beforethe commit tee in terms of Section 10 (1) (a) of the Pet itionsAct. Th ese officials had earlierindicated their desire cooperatewith th e commit tee in resolving

the pet i t ion. However, themunicipal i ty, as per municipalmana ger, advised thecommittee that the officialswill not be given per missionto appear before yourcommittee. As a measure of las t r esort , the commit tee onceagain subpoenaed Makhura toappear before the commit tee.He fai led to honour t hesubpoena, thus contraveningth e provisions of the Act.

In term s of the Act , thecommit tee is empowered tosubpoena any person toappear before commit tee a s awitness to answer anyquest ions or to produce anydocuments required by thecommittee. In terms of section11 (1) and (2), any per son whofails to appear before thecommit tee after being dulysubpoenaed or fails to produceany documents required bythe committee, is guilty of anoffence.

Furt her, sect ion 11 (3)respect ively makes i t anoffence to obstruct, threaten,or unduly influence a witnessto refrain from giving evidenceor not to produce anydocument required by thecommittee. In view of theMakhur as fai lure to appearbefore the committee, it (thecommittee) resolved toinst i tute criminal proceedingsaga ins t Makhura .

This is not the onlytriumph by the Legis lature inenforcing the Act. In 2005 th ecommittee received a petitionfrom Aganang Municipality, inPhotole Village. The petitionwas about incomplete andpoor workmans hip on the RDPhouses and a broken waterscheme machin e. Afterinspect ion of the a rea, a publ ichearing was held. I t wasruled that the Department of Local Government shouldintensify the monitoring of thehouses, those of poor qualitybe s t a r t ed a f resh an d theCapricorn dis t rict wasinstructed to fix the machine.

Twelve s tudent s wereexpelled from t he Man enuTra ffic College in Vhembe, onallegations of criminal records.A hearing was convened at t heschool.

The commit tee found tha tsome of the cases referred towere inval id and ha d fal lenover the year s in terms of theCriminal Procedure Act a ndal l 12 were reinstai ted.

Are you worried about gettingPeople in this town ar e driving like pigs,perhaps the swine flu is more prominentaround here t han we thought , was justone of the comments that made fun of theH1N1 virus this week. The seriousness of this possibly lethal virus is h owever veryprominent when you talk to residents.Many worry about the increase in fatalitiesand with more tha n 1 000 confirmed casesreported the spread is much faster thanmany expected.We asked readers whether they know howthe H1N1 virus is contracted and whetherthey fear that this disease might touchthem as well. We also enquired about thepossible preventat ive m easures readersmight be taking.

Ms Ntombi Khandyile said: Im not sureabout prevention. We are scared of it. It iskilling people.

Give youropinion on the

subject.SMS it to073 416 5119

Ja , we are scared. The government must give us lessons about it because people aredying outside. Especially rural people need to be educated about this swine flu, saidMr Joram Maleka and Ms Cordelia Moela.

My idea is that this is a serious problem.The government must act immediately toavoid a large spread of the illness and tokeep the cost of this low while protectingthe people, said Mr Lionel De Aguiar.

Mr Africa Ngomane said: You have to behigenic and so on. I am scared. Someonedied today and there are more than 1000infections. Its scary!

Me. Gerda Enslin s: Ja, ek is bangdaarvoor en nee, ek weet nie hoe om ditte voorkom nie.

Mr Thabo Mongadi said: Yes, Im scared.I use medicine like vitamins from thechemist to prevent it. I dont really knowhow you get it.

Ms Event Magale said: I am scared anddont know how you get it. I want thegovernment to tell me what to do.

Mr Lucky Tobias said: I do am worriedabout it. Ive been to the doctor butluckily it was just a normal flu. I hear onthe radio about coughing, fever assymptoms and about washing yourhands to prevent it.

Mr Mpho Mothema said: I am alsoscared. Ive heard about the symptomslike cough, fever and back pain. I haventdone anything to try and prevent it. Youcan only be cautious.

Mnr. Phillip Kemp s: Ek is nie baieingelig daaroor nie. Ek weet wel dis maarsoos n griep virus. Ek luister na wat isdie simptome sodat n mense daarna kanoplet. n Mens moet ook skoon wees engereeld hande was. Dis maak n mensbekommerd omdat jy nie veel daarvanweet nie.
