TEXT A SNIFFING OUT DRUGS 1. Like most mothers, she had dreams that her son would lead a good life and grow up to be a responsible, respected member of society. But Nonhlanhla Mngomezulu*(46) didn’t foresee her son, Mandla*(25), becoming a drug addict at the age of 15. “My son was living with his father in the Eastern Cape after we got 5 divorced,” she tells us. “His interest in drugs began as a form of peer pressure; then gradually he started taking drugs on a social level. By the time he was an adult he was a full blown addict. 2. Nonhlanhla believes Mandla had too much freedom as a teenager. “I often had a hunch that my son was taking drugs,” she says. “He’d come to Joburg to visit me and would tell lies about where he was going. Then 10 things started disappearing from the house like my jewellery, power tools and appliances.” 3. She also noticed changes in his behaviour. “He struggled to sleep, had a lack of appetite, was losing weight and there was no rational thought process behind some of his actions.” Before long, her worst fears were realised. He started to disappear, sometimes for days at a time. “I don’t 15 wish for anyone to go through what I went through,” Nonhlanhla says. “Not knowing whether your child is sleeping under a bridge or whether they’re at the morgue – whether they’re dead or alive.” 4. Last year things came to a head when Mandla disappeared for four months. She eventually received a call from the police to say he’d been arrested. “I decided not to pay bail because if I did, he’d leave jail and go 20 back to the streets,” she shares. “So I let him stay there until he’d finished his sentence [which was 80 days]. After that, I put him on a bus to Joburg and now he’s in a rehabilitation centre. He’s been clean for 60 days”. 5. One thing at least has made things a bit easier for this distressed mother: 25 Demo NW/JUNE/ENGFAL/ EMIS/6******* ### Page 4 ENGLISH FAL GRADE 10 JUNE 2017 4 Nonhlanhla has help in a new form of technology, IDenta Touch & know, which she can use to check her son’s room for drugs. 6. “I can swab his remote control, console games, cupboards, bedside table and cell phone to monitor whether there are any drugs in his room,” she explains. The IDenta Touch & Know was developed in Europe in 2009 by Yaacov Shoham, a retired Chief Superintendent of the Israeli Police with 30 experience in chemistry and forensic. His company, IDenta Corporation, has designed several test kits that are used globally to combat the distribution of illicit drugs and fight terrorism. 7. This specific kit can test for up to 21 drugs including cocaine, white heroin, marijuana, mandrax, ecstasy, phetamine/methamphetamine, LSD, ketamine, Nyaope and tik. Russell Hutton, General Manager at Vukani Marketing & Consulting, the 35 company that’s brought the technology to SA, says the test is non- invasive. “Many people, particularly parents, are reluctant to approach a person they suspect is taking drugs for fear this will lead to confrontation, distrust, breaking of relationships and alienation,” he says. 8. “You can take a swab off any surface. The test kit releases a fluid that can 40 detect whether the substance it has picked up is illegal. It also detects emerging designer drugs, commonly described as spice, bath salts and plant food. The kit can only be used once but it can test several surfaces, Hutton says. “The test is non-confrontational, as it tests substances and not the person. It provides concerned people with credible information and lets them 45 know what’s happening and seek advice on the best way to deal with the situation,” AUN World Health Report has identified SA as one of the world’s drug capitals.

TEXT C CARING FOR YOUR FEET When you buy shoes, always be super fussy about getting a good fit, and never wear shoes that someone else has bought and rejected. Shoes are bought to fit their original owner’s measurements, and if they have been worn for any length of time, they will have adapted themselves to whatever foot faults their owners may have had- and your feet will be following in their trails. Your shoes should be 1.5 cm longer than your foot for comfort so that you can wiggle your toes. Shoes should fit comfortably in width, so that your toes aren’t pinched. Always stand up and move around when you are trying on new shoes. Your feet spread when you stand up. If you try on shoes only when sitting down, you are not getting an accurate idea of how the shoes fit. Don’t constantly wear shoes that don’t allow your feet to breathe. Always give your feet a “shoe break”, too from any kind of shoe fashion during the day. Take them off, flex your feet and walk around for a while in socks. If you have a job that requires constant standing; you need to take special care of your feet. In the evening, if your feet are really tired, bathe them in cold, salted water. A foot refresher spray in useful as a pick- up for tired feet during the day. Try not to stand constantly in the same position when you work. Move around a little from time to time. When you must stand still, stand up straight, allowing some space between your feet so that weight is evenly distributed between them. Don’t wear the same pair of shoes every day this isn’t good for your feet or for your shoes. You can go barefoot when you can. You need to keep your feet strong by walking or running short distances.
