Millennium Goals & Transformation

(MDG`s) adopted in 2000 are:
 Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger;
 Achieve Universal primary education;
 Promote universal primary education and
empower women;
 Reduce child mortality;
Millennium Goals
 Improve Maternal health;
 Combat HIV / AIDS, malaria and other
diseases;
 Ensure environmental sustainability, and
 Developing a global partnership for
development.
Can Sport assist in the achievement
of the MDG`s for the Western Cape
 The medical research council of South
Africa recently released its` research
findings into the strong correlation between
drug abuse (and in particular TIK),
TEENAGE PREGNANCY AND THE
SPREAD OF THE HIV AND AIDS
PENDEMIC
Can Sport assist in the achievement
of the MDG`s for the Western Cape
 DSD reported in October that the Western Cape now has
91 216 (identified) orphans. Non-AIDS orphans number 47
150 (and will fall to 44 910 over the next three years) whilst
AIDS orphans number 44 066 (and will increase over the
coming years - the decline in non-AIDS orphans is due to
government interventions such as planned parenthood
programmes and foster care).
 The country has an estimated 1,5 million orphans, of which
about two thirds are as a result of parents dying of AIDS.
 Of the Western Cape's 91 216 (identified) orphans, only 29
600 are in foster care (as ascertained from the number of
foster care grants awarded).
Can Sport assist in the achievement
of the MDG`s for the Western Cape
 Teens in South Africa Smoke Anti-Retroviral Drug Efavirenz for Cheap
High
 A drug intended to treat HIV and AIDS is sweeping the townships of
KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. It is cheap and powerfully addictive.
South Africa has one of the highest HIV infection rates in the world and
KwaZulu-Natal province has the highest rate in South Africa -- 40
percent. For the infected, anti-retroviral drugs, or ARVs, are the only
things standing between life and a painful death.
 The drug is so cheap and plentiful, thanks in part to a well-meaning
effort by the American government to distribute ARVs, a program that
has helped extend the lives of more than 500,000 AIDS patients.
 But as the medical director of one U.S.-funded clinic said, ARV abuse
is threatening to turn an HIV success story into a health crisis.
Can Sport assist in the achievement
of the MDG`s for the Western Cape
 Today, some of the illegal drugs come
from HIV patients selling their own
lifesaving medication for profit. Others
are stolen from patients or pharmacies.
Proposed WC MDG`s
 History will judge us as a nation – not by who ruled this
country and for how long;
 Not by how successful we hosted the FIFA 2010, or
whether we qualified for Brazil in 2014;
 Or did the springboks successfully defend the Tri-nations;
 Or if the Proteas shake off their reputation of no BMT,
 NO - history my friends will judge us ultimately by how we
respond to the HIV and Aids pandemic and the correlation
between the spread of teenage pregnancy and drug and
alcohol abuse and HIV and AIDS (Prof. B O`Connell)
So lets bring the MDG`s closer to
Home
– Strategies to Reduce the supply and demand of
alcohol and drugs;
– Strategies to Reduce teenage pregnancies; and
– Strategies to Reduce the spread of the HIV and
AIDS pandemic Through Sport.
An additional Challenge for the WC
Communities & Sport
 As a child I lived for a Wednesday Afternoon or for
a Saturday morning.
 Today most children actively engaged in sport are
the children whose families can afford to pay.
 The large majority of children in the province
continue to be marginalised. We need to be
serious about Mass Participation Porgrammes and
we need to get our communities to come to our
local league games – make our communities part
of our local sports clubs and associations –
 a child in sport is a child out of……….?
The Ethos of a Sportsperson
 When I graduated from Hewat in 1983 Dr
Richard V d Ross had this to say as the keynote speaker - ‘A Sportsperson -Is
someone who is able to win with modesty,
and who is able to accept defeat gracefully.
 These are the virtues we should install in
our children through sport.
Thank you!
