Brighton Beach SAPS corporate communications officer and project manager of this initiative, Cpt Louise Le Roux, launched the station’s opera- tional activities through the distribution of safety and wellness care packs for elderly women who were visiting the mall. On Saturday, August 1, foot patrols were con- ducted at the Hill Side Mall in Bluff with the aim of campaigning for the safety of elderly women in public spaces. The care packs consisted of an educational brochure, written in both IsiZulu and English, which was researched and compiled by Cpt Le Roux. “The brochure focused on raising aware- ness on how to reduce criminal acts being im- posed upon elderly women. These included minimizing theft by snatching, pick-pocketing, carjacking, safety at the ATM, public safety, per- sonal safety and how to limit home invasion,” she The care pack included an informative brochure, soap and delicious snacks. said.

  • Food Science • Voedselwetenskap December 2020
    Newsletter Food Science • Voedselwetenskap December 2020 Dear Students, Colleges, Alumni and Friends of Food Science Against all the odds of 2020, we have reached this point of the year, but still facing many uncertainties. Throughout it all everyone continued to do their bit and contribute to “getting through this”. The staff and food science students again rose to the occasion. Due to the pandemic, this year saw the New Product Development project and presentations take on a whole new dimension. But the students excelled, and the presentations attracted a record number of “attendees” – one of the advantages of on-line meetings. Congratulations to Maricel and her fourth-year students! This year also saw thew appointment of Dr Stefan Hayward as a lecturer in the department. Dr Hayward will expand the department’s expertise in food biochemistry and will also contribute to the brewing activ- ities in the department. Welcome Stefan – we hope you will thoroughly enjoy your time in the depart- ment. Alex Rust and Carla Dippenaar were both acknowledged and rewarded for academic excellence, while the department’s outputs were again acknowledged in the Shanghai Academic subject rankings – again the only South African food science department to feature in the top 300. No year would be complete without the Intervarsity Brewing competition and our brewing team again showed they are producing some really wonderful beverages. We look forward to tasting more of their success! Graduation in this strange year sees 44 BSc (9 cum laude) degrees, 5 MSc (3 cum laude) and 2 PhD’s being conferred, with more to follow in April 2021.

MALKA Hello, I’m Dr. Amaleya Goneos-Malka, welcome to ‘Womanity– Women in Unity’. The show that celebrates prominent and ordinary African Women’s milestone achievements in their struggles for liberation, self-emancipation, human rights, democracy, racism, socio-economic class division and gender based violence. DR. MALKA Joining us on the line today is recently crowned Miss SA 2020 Shudufhadzo Musida, who originally hails from Ha-Masia in the Limpopo Province of South Africa. Welcome to the show! MS MUSIDA Hello, thank you so much for having me. DR. MALKA First of all, congratulations on your win, it’s such a massive achievement to be wearing the crown and representing the country. MS MUSIDA Yes thank you so much and it is a massive achievement but also a big responsibility too but I’m very thankful to be Miss South Africa. DR. MALKA And we wish you all the very best as you begin your reign. To start with, tell us a little bit more about Miss SA, the pageant, what it entailed and how it’s changed your life and as you said in the introduction, you really have a tremendous responsibility here, so what are some of those responsibilities? MS MUSIDA I think the biggest responsibility that comes with being Miss South Africa is you’re now...your voice is amplified so there’s a huge responsibility that comes with what you say and what you do and so Miss South Africa is an empowerment platform and an empowerment pageant where we go, with this one specifically, we had to do a lot of personal development, self- development workshops that taught us the importance of being empowered individuals before being empowered as Miss South Africa.
