The Sunday Times went where nobody dared to go, and gave us a window into the lives of the four suspects in the fatal stabbing of Mozambican trader Emmanuel Josias (known as Sithole). Depravity, neglect, squalid living conditions, lack of education and absent fathers. None of this excuses their vicious actions and we should be forthright in saying that they did not show their victim any mercy. Thelaw 5 must be brought to bear. But their background should at least force us into a long- overdue conversation about families and their place in building a peaceful, thriving society. . The Sunday Times spoke to the broken mothers of these young men. Instead of women who indulged their sons and excused their behaviour, we encountered strict, 10 loving women who had done their best for their sons despite their meagre resources. } Mthintha Bhengu’s mother was unequivocal : “Il could see it was him. He is my child.” A mother of 17-year old Ayanda Sibiya said : “The law must take its course. If he is guilty, he must be punished.” The similarities in the circumstances of the suspects are instructive. All four are poor, and shared a single room with their mothers and 15 siblings. All but one come from big families; Mthintha’s mother has seven children, Ayanda’s mother has three, Sizwe Ngomezulu’s mother has five. . When are we going to have an honest conversation about this? We are avoiding the issue and choosing to be politically correct. This is not about denying the poor their reproductive rights but it is about an education drive that thoroughly interrogates the 20 link between family size and continued poverty and deprivation. Itis nota conversation merely for the poor, but for the entire nation. It does not have to be prescriptive, but it should invite all of us to reflect on how our decisions impact on the wellbeing of the children we bring into this world. . The dialogue can emphasise rights and responsibilities. | am not suggesting that all 25 criminals or lost youths come from poor families. The second observation is that all ¢ but one of the four boys was in school. : . And now, for the elephant in the room. The one thing that all four have in common is an absent father. They're either dead or have abandoned their families. The boys’ mothers raised them alone. How does this impact on a child and his or her sense of 3° self? It would be frivolous to argue that every child who grows up in poverty, with no education and an absent parent ends up stabbing people in the streets — but we cannot ignore the phenomenon of absent parenting. . The South African institute of Race Relations indicates that the “typical [black] child is raised by a mother in a single-parent household”. Fathers may well be alive, but 3S black children have the lowest proportion of dads who are present in their lives, according to 2009 figures : 30%. . Are we teaching boys that they cannot just grow up to be sperm donors who disappear when it suits them? The conditions of the four young men did not justify the brutal murder of Emmanuel. My empathy and sense of right and wrong do not oO allow that. But the similarities between these families demand a multi-layered response to our social malaise.

TEXT B YOGA BETTER FOR YOU THAN CONVENTIONAL EXERCISE If you are not too keen about building up a sweat in order to get fit, there’s some good news. It turns out that the peaceful and gentle activity of yoga is as good for the heart as cycling. An analysis of dozens of studies into the impact of the ancient Eastern art concluded that it has numerous health benefits. Yoga, it found, leads to weight loss, lowers blood cholesterol and cuts blood pressure. In fact, the improvements were on a par with those seen in people who did conventional exercise such as cycling and brisk walking. In some cases, it worked even better than prescription pills. If that wasn’t enough, regular yoga sessions may even make it easier to quit smoking. The researchers aren’t sure why yoga is so effective but say the combination of exercise and stress relief may be key. The finding is important because it suggests that those who are too old or unwell to do conventional exercise could practice yoga to keep their heart healthy. The researchers analysed 37 studies into the health benefits of yoga, which involved more than 2700 people. They found that yoga clearly improved health. Men and women prescribed yoga as part of a study lost 2.3kg more than those who did no extra exercise. Those doing yoga for three months saw blood pressure fall and bad cholesterol drop, the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology reports. Some of the studies showed yoga to be more effective than prescription medicines. In one trial involving those at risk of heart problems, PT... Rage & ### Page 5 Downloaded from hlayiso.com Rage ~— blood pressure dropped almost three times as much when doing yoga, compared to when taking pills. Yoga helped patients who already had heart disease and were being treated for it. But the most exciting findings revolve around exercise. The analysis concluded that yoga was as good as conventional physical activity in improving heart health. Researcher Miriam Hunink of Erasmus University in the Netherlands and Harvard University in the US, said: “ Yoga may provide the same benefits in risk factor reduction as traditional physical activity such as cycling or brisk walking. This finding is significant as individuals who cannot or prefer not to perform traditional aerobic exercise may still achieve similar benefits in cardio- vascular disease risk reduction.” She added that yoga may improve quality of life more than other forms of exercise, by easing stress and anxiety. Further research is needed to determine _how yoga helps the heart but Professor Hunink thinks that the combination of stress relief and _dxercise is key. SOURCE: DAILY MAIL (10) PTO...

POP UP DINING Having spent many years travelling the world cooking for the rich and famous as an on- board private yacht chef, Tarnah Blane now owns her own company, ‘Private Chef Ballito’. Tarnah said, “I saw the concept overseas. I didn’t realise there was a term for it. Corrinne Smith and I met at the Mr Pro Price ‘So you Think You Can Cook?’ competition and afterwards she suggested we try something like this. After researching the concept, we realised that it was something we could do together, without neglecting our existing lives and responsabilities. Corrinne is a mother of two and has her own food blog called ‘Corrinnes Kitchen’. She also grows her own herbs and supplies local stockists. “ I felt like I have a new lease on life. This is such an exciting adventure,” says Corrinne. And the two complement each other well. While Tarnah is accustomed to using the best of Ingredients, “on the ships we had limitless budgets”, she laughs, Corrinne keeps her on track budget-wise. She simply loves her cooking. “For me, the most exciting thing is that the menu changes for each event. I don’t want to be stuck in a restaurant preparing the same food every day. I wanna get a move on, ona food adventure with new food, people and venues. And this is what our guests are getting as well— an exciting food adventure,” says Tarnah.
