“TheUniversity recognises the challengesfaced by many students and is doing whatit can to provide alternative mechanisms tobridge the digital divide,” said Dr Bosire.The new lab makes provision for students

using their ownmobile devices offering am-ple seating space, electrical points for charg-ing purposes and free WiFi.A separate buzz room is available for stu-

dents to do group work or enter into discus-sions so as not to disrupt the quiet laborato-ry space.According to a media statement issued by

NMMU, the introduction of the new labora-tory and distribution of tablets is part of a

bigger commitment to ensure that no aca-demically deserving student is denied theopportunity of studying further.“This is also whyNMMU introduced debt-

relief and down-payment relief, and is oneof the few universities to offer prospectivestudents who fail to meet the criteria tostudy a particular programme, a secondchance through its testing system. If stu-dents fall outside of the required AdmissionPoint Score but fall within the testing bandcriteria, then they are invited to write a testto see if they have the potential to succeedin their chosen diploma or degree. Almost40% of all graduates entered NMMU usingthis ‘second chance’ method,” the statementread.

ernment came together to talk about howto take better care of our planet.These mitigation methods are being ad-

dressed by South Africa’s leading permac-ulture initiative, the EduPlant Pro-gramme. Severe weather, like that in latesummer this year, can destroy crops andlead to hunger and famine.Schools that apply permaculture princi-

MARCH ismarked asWorld Tuberculo-sis (TB) Awareness Month.With half a million new infections ev-

ery year, TB is one of the leading causesof death in South Africa.High rates of HIV co-infection and in-

creasingly drug-resistant strains meanthedisease isshowingnosignofabating.During a recent TB documentary

launch held in Port Elizabeth, the East-ern Cape Department of Health’s tuber-culosis hospitals said the Eastern Capehad one of the highest numbers of casesof multidrug-resistant tuberculosis(MDR-TB) in South Africa.The provincial manager for the East-

ernCape’sSouthAfricanRedCrossSoci-ety,RuthMufalali-VanRooyen,saidNel-sonMandelaBaywasoneof thedistrictsin theEasternCapethathadahighnum-ber of TB cases.Theotherdistrictswithhighnumbers

of TB caseswereORTamboDistrict andBuffalo City.“The community as a whole needs to

support patients with TB.“Peoplewithout TBneed to be educat-

ed onwhatTB is andhowsomebody canget infectedwith it, andalso on infectioncontrol and prevention measures.”Mufalali-Van Rooyen added that TB

patients also needed to understand TBinfection control and prevention.“TheSouthAfricanRedCross Society

believes that TB is not an individualproblem but that of the community andthat is why our activities are driven toenhance community involvement,” shesaid.The Treatment Action Campaign

(TAC) and partner organisations recent-ly wrote to HealthMinister AaronMot-soaledi, urging the rapid introduction ofa new tuberculosis test in SouthAfricanhospitals.TB is particularly difficult to diagnose

in people living with HIV who have lowimmunity or who are seriously ill.The Lipoarabinomannan, or LAM

test, works by detecting TB antigens as-sociated with TB in a patient’s urine.The test is easy to implement and re-

sults are available in 25 minutes.AtaboutR40atest, it isalsoaffordable.The letter follows the publication of

findings in the medical journal the Lan-cet from a study that showed that use ofthe LAM test can reduce mortality inhospitalised people livingwithHIVwhohave lowCD4counts orwhoare serious-ly ill.More than 2000 study participants

were randomly assigned to receive ei-ther normal TB testing or the normaltests plus the LAM test.After eightweeks 21%of the people in

the LAMgroup had died comparedwith25% of the people in the control group.This amounts to a relative risk reduc-

tion of 17%.Making the test available in SouthAf-

rican hospitals will require healthcareworkers to be trained on the LAM testand thedevelopmentof guidelines for itsuse.

ment Strategy, sponsored by the municipalityand National Lotto, was accepted and en-dorsed by theMandela Bay Arts Council espe-cially for providing artists with year-roundprogrammes and enabling resources.Therewill be a township dancedevelopment

programme known as Dance Seasons for

need for art centres in local communities.“We are happywe’ve finally agreedwith the

Nelson Mandela Bay Arts Council on the pro-gramme of action,” arts and culture executivedirector Noxolo Nqwazi said.She said artists had in the past comeupwith

proposals without her office responding be-cause they had been talking as individuals.“We are happy also as the municipality that

we are able to respond to the artists’ needs bydelivering a programme that supports the Op-era House, because we cannot allow such aninstitution to collapse,” Nqwazi said.
