  • “The Data Related to the Cases of Drowning in South Africa and the Implications of This”
    “The data related to the cases of drowning in South Africa and the implications of this” Presented by: Dhaya Sewduth, voluntary President: Lifesaving South Africa. Surf House, Durban, South Africa The task of compiling statistics on drowning fatalities in South Africa is a challenging one indeed. The difficulty in collecting the data is dependent on the availability of such statistics in state departments and attempts to source such data are frustrating and often futile. It would appear as if there is a non-functional central registry, or if there is one that it is not updated The most obvious departments to source drowning statistics is the South African Police Services (SAPS) as the legal requirements of the country dictates that the only department which can release statistics of death by unnatural causes is the Police Department. However, the stark reality is that it seems that this is one of the departments whose data base is far from updated. The immediate implication is that the figures released are outdated and unclear. It is also expected that Department of Home Affairs, which has as one of its core functions to keep a registry of births and deaths, would be helpful but that department also seems to be inefficient in keeping analyses of death records. The drowning reports seem under-reported primarily because there is no national drowning prevention strategy that governs the need to ensure that the statistics are updated and accurate. Furthermore, with the fact that there is no national water safety awareness, the mortality rates due to drowning is not a priority in SA and lags behind in attention to more serious causes of death, such as road accidents, crime and the aids pandemic.

  • Lifesaving South Africa Patrol Guidelines 2020
    PATROL GUIDELINES - 2020 LIFESAVING SOUTH AFRICA PATROL GUIDELINES 2020 www.lifesaving.co.za www.lifesaving.co.za LIFESAVING SOUTH AFRICA LIFESAVING SA GUIDELINES FOR PATROL’S A Patrollers primary duty is to ensure the safety of persons within an area which has been deemed safe for public swimming. All communities have an expectation of safe water use. LSA has a responsibility to meet the challenge of this expectation by patrolling and supplying a lifesaving service, and administering first aid as required. Members joining the association need to be made aware of their responsibility in the maintaining efficient duties. Your knowledge of rescue techniques and the training in these skills will ensure safe bathing for the community. In addition, lifeguards must act as good ambassadors for the Association. All members required to do duty in a club should be allocated into squads so that everyone is aware of when it is their turn to protect the bathers. At the head of each squad is the Squad Leader. He should be a responsible, experienced lifeguard who can control the aquatic facility, beach, pool, open water or leisure park facility, and deal with people, both public and squad members. He controls the allocation of the squad members to their duties. The safe swimming area must be carefully checked by the duty squad for possible danger spots; once a safe area has been identified clear bathing signs must be displayed. The size of the safe swimming area depends on the duty squad, number of swimmers and the environment PATROL ACTIVITIES Various patrol activities may be employed in the efforts to ensure the safety of the swimmers: Traditional method: Between the red and yellow flags This is the most common type of patrol and simply requires the setting of the flags at the safest place on the beach.

  • Sport Awards 2018 Foreword
    Sport Awards 2018 Foreword The annual Sports Awards is a highlight of the Western Cape Government’s calendar. The Awards recognise and officially acknowledge the esteemed excellence of sportspeople hailing from the Western Cape. Today, we pay tribute to the exemplary role these individuals have played in the development of sport and motivating others to achieve more. I wholeheartedly thank each sportsperson awarded their prestigious acknowledgement for serving as a beacon of hope to all in the Western Cape. Their perseverance, focus and positive choices have groomed them into significant role-models to whom youth can aspire. Excellence in their respective sporting codes requires dedication, motivation and many hours of practice, but also most importantly support and encouragement from significant others: family, friends, coaches, managers and others. Heartfelt gratitude is expressed to them for their continuous support and encouragement toward our sporting success. History has shown time and again that sport has the ability to bring diverse groups of people together and I firmly believe our honoured sport stars personify this notion. They also promote a healthy lifestyle in which they contribute to increasing wellness and safety in the Western Cape and for that I thank you profusely. Western Cape Provincial Sports Awards 2018 1 By celebrating our victories and achievements we create a spirit of goodwill and social inclusivity that ultimately binds us all better together. In closing, a special word of thanks to all the DCAS team players for your hard work, dedication and professionalism in making the Sports Awards a proud occasion.

  • Sport and Recreation South Africa (SRSA) Is the National Government Department Responsible for Sport in South Africa
    Sport and Recreation South Africa (SRSA) is the national government department responsible for sport in South Africa. Aligned with its vision of creating An Active and Winning Nation, its primary focuses are providing opportunities for all South Africans to participate in sport; managing the regulatory framework thereof and providing funding for different codes of sport. The department transforms the delivery of sport and recreation by ensuring equitable access, development and excellence at all levels of participation, thereby improving social cohesion, nation-building and the quality of life of all South Africans. The SRSA is established in terms of the Public Service Act of 1994. Its legal mandate is derived from the National Sport and Recreation Amendment Act, 2007 (Act 18 of 2007), which requires it to oversee the development and management of sport and recreation in South Africa. The Act provides the framework for relationships between the department and its external clients. This includes the SRSA’s partnership with the South African Sports Confederation and Olympic Committee (SASCOC). The partnership is key to improving South Africa’s international ranking in selected sports. The Act also ensures that sport and physical education contribute to social cohesion by legislating on sports participation and sports infrastructure. Aligned with the SRSA’s vision of an active and winning nation, the department primarily focuses on providing opportunities for all South Africans to participate in sport; manages the regulatory framework; and provides funding for different sporting codes. The SRSA aims to maximise access, development and excellence at all levels of participation in sport and recreation to improve the quality of life for all South Africans.
