MEET THE TEAM
From the editor
Sarah
IT’S SIMPLEIt has been a crazy and exciting month filled with looming
deadlines and overwhelming research. It all began a few
days after I decided that perhaps we would not have a
special feature in April and I would spend the extra time
examining the history of Rotary in Africa, which later
changed the name of our monthly magazine to Rotary
Africa (did you know we have a 90th anniversary fast
approaching?).
Then my email chimed and I found the latest column from
PDG Patrick Coleman. With just a week to go before I needed
to wrap up this issue, inspiration struck as I realised that PDG
Patrick had hit the nail on the head – Maternal and Child
Health is definitely a ‘sometimes’ forgotten area of focus.
We have so many problems to address and perhaps when
we compare the areas of focus, we subconsciously pick those
that seem more serious. Now, before you start tapping out an
indignant email or pick up your phone to give us a ring, I do
realise that there are many clubs doing a lot of good work in
this area of focus. But the reality is that more can be done.
The results we need are relatively easy to achieve and the
solutions are almost simplistic.
PDG Patrick’s column inspired me to thoroughly examine
the situation as it pertains to Africa and let me tell you, what I
learned shocked, sickened and saddened me. Did you know
that millions of mothers and children die each year and that
most of their deaths are preventable? On average a child dies
every four seconds? There are still millions of people suffering
from lead poisoning contracted from lead based paint?
Come on! Seriously, what excuse do we have as a society?
These are all problems that should have been eliminated in
the late 1900s.
We have almost eradicated polio. We have achieved
what many countries and organisations can only dream of.
We are successfully implementing projects to bring peace,
food, clean water, sanitation, education and so much more to
communities across the globe. In terms of accomplishments
and leadership, this is mind blowing – Rotarians are achieving
what world leaders struggle to do.
Which is why, when you read our Maternal and Child
Health feature and compare it to what we, as an organisation
have done, are doing and will do, I think you will agree that
if anything can save the lives of a few million people, it’s a
group of about 1.2 million superheroes. I don’t know if you
have heard of them… I call them Rotarians!
Have a wonderful month,

JOHN F GERM

Speeches and news from RI President John F Germ at www.rotary.org/office-president
DEAR FELLOW ROTARIANS,
Globally, in developed as well as in developing
countries, child mortality is on the decline and life
expectancy on the rise. In 1960, 182 of every 1 000
children born died before turning five; today, that
number is down to 43. A child born in 1960 could
expect to live an average of just 52 years; by contrast,
a child born this year can expect to live to 71.
Then as now, the factors most likely to determine a
child’s fate are set at birth: where he or she is born, the
educational and economic condition of the family, the
availability of medical care. Yet one of the most important
advances in public health has reached every country and
must now reach every child: immunisation.
The use of vaccines has, in many parts of the world,
nearly eliminated diseases that once were widespread,
such as diphtheria, tetanus and rubella. Thanks to
vaccines, 20 million lives have been saved from measles
since 2000. Smallpox has been eradicated – and polio
is next.
Thirty years ago, there were an estimated 350 000
cases of polio per year worldwide. Current figures reflect
that only 37 cases of polio had been recorded in 2016 –
the lowest number in history. All of the other cases, and
the paralysis and death they would have brought, were
prevented through the widespread use of a safe, reliable
and inexpensive vaccine.
Overall, the World Health Organisation estimates that
immunisation prevents an estimated two to three million
deaths every year. It also averts a tremendous burden
of disability and economic loss. Yet we could be doing
so much better: An additional 1.5 million deaths could be
avoided by improving vaccine coverage worldwide.
This month, from 24 to 30April, we join WHO, UNICEF
and the US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention in
celebrating World Immunisation Week, raising awareness
of the incredible impact that vaccines have had on global
health. This year’s theme is “Vaccines Work” – and they
do. Increased use of vaccines has broader repercussions
for public health; controlling viral hepatitis, reducing both
the need for antibiotics and the development of antibiotic-
resistant microbes and reaching more children and
adolescents with essential health interventions. In every
part of the world, routine immunisation is as crucial as
ever to ensure that all children have the best chance at
a healthy future.
In an uncertain world, vaccines offer something
remarkable: A way to protect our children throughout
their lives. By working together to safeguard all children
against polio and other preventable diseases, Rotary
is truly Serving Humanity – now and for generations to
come.

In communities worldwide, Rotarians are finding
creative ways to celebrate The Rotary Foundation
centennial and showcase our Foundation’s century-
long commitment to doing good in the world.
Rotarians have arranged for a commemorative
postage stamp to be issued in Pakistan, sponsored a
cruise on the Danube River with some proceeds going
to our Foundation and sold bottles of wine with “100
Years Doing Good in the World” printed on the label in
Vancouver, Canada.
And, of course, there have been scores of centennial
dinners. In Arch Klumph’s hometown of Cleveland,
Rotarians gathered to celebrate the centennial and
honour the father of The Rotary Foundation with a
banquet and concert by the Cleveland Orchestra.
In addition to raising more than $2.1 million for our
Foundation, the event paid tribute to Klumph’s virtuosity
as a flutist.
Some Rotarians are honouring the Foundation by
sponsoring global grant projects. They are fighting
dengue fever in Indonesia, providing sanitation facilities
in Colombia and promoting
early detection of breast cancer in Turkey.
Rotaractors and Interactors have answered the call
to perform 100 acts of good this year in honour of the
centennial. They are donating blood, visiting the elderly
and volunteering at food pantries, to name just a few of
the activities this challenge has inspired.
By celebrating this milestone, we are sharing our
success stories with the world. In 2016, cable news
channel CNBC named The Rotary Foundation one
of the “Top 10 Charities Changing the World,” citing
our PolioPlus programme as well as our financial
health, accountability and transparency of reporting. In
addition, the Association of Fundraising Professionals
named The Rotary Foundation the World’s Outstanding
Foundation for 2016.
Our centennial year is not over yet. You still have time
to plan a special event, make a centennial contribution
and add more acts of good. In June, I hope you will join
me for the biggest centennial celebration of the year at
the Rotary International Convention in Atlanta.

AT A GLANCE
* As of 30 November 2016
Atlanta embraces its sports history and when
you’re there for the Rotary International Convention
from 10 to 14 June, you might want to plan on a few
side trips to local shrines of sports.
Even if you don’t make it to the Host Organisation
Committee’s special event baseball game hosted by
Hank Aaron, you should check out the Braves’ old and
new homes. Sculptor and Rotarian Ross Rossin’s iconic
statue of Hall of Famer Aaron stands outside Turner
Field, where the Braves played until this year. With
the team moving into its new SunTrust Park, Rossin
sculpted another statue of Aaron for the new stadium.
Georgians love their college football and Atlanta is
University of Georgia country. (Their love extends to
Uga - the bulldog mascot with a proud 10-generation
lineage). In college football, coach Vince Dooley, an
honorary Rotarian for many years, is a legend. He was
the head coach at UGA for 25 years and under his
leadership, the school had a 70 percent winning record.
If the mention of football gets your blood pumping,
you’ll want to visit the College Football Hall of Fame,
which has acres of exhibits and even a 45-yard indoor
field. The host committee is hosting a special evening
there on June 12 but if you can’t make it then, the hall is
just steps away from the convention.
FIELD TRIPS

by PDG Andrew Jaeger, Regional Rotary Coordinator
PERSONALISATION
Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all
Most Rotary clubs would be ecstatic to have the
chance to add new members on a regular basis.
Many around the world have used traditional
recruitment methods such as membership drives,
print advertising and inviting guest speakers to
join. While clubs have success with these methods
in finding prospective members, there is a key
component that will help to convert more people
into actual members.
What is personalisation? How does the concept let
a prospective member make the commitment to join?
Personalisation is taking elements of a prospective
member’s life and applying them to the benefits of
Rotary, thus creating a mutually beneficial experience.
Understanding an individual’s background, story and
interests are integral parts of the concept. Asking a
prospective member to tell their story will enable a club
to emphasise the parts of Rotary that will best suit them.
Every individual has a professional and personal
history. Some might be business owners; some might
be an employee or even be retired. People will have
different interests in their desires to serve as well.
There will be individuals who want to get involved in
hands-on service projects and others who will want to
join a committee. These stories will lay the groundwork
needed to create a Rotary experience that will be the
right fit for the prospective member.
The broader concept of personalisation has become
a way of life in today’s Western society, especially
among younger professionals in their 20s and 30s.
Individuals of these age groups are accustomed to
personalising everything they interact with. Their social
media pages, iPhone cases and television viewing
habits have all become customisable. Moulding their
lives to Rotary can be off-putting. The good news is that
Rotary can be personalised for individuals, all without
eliminating the traditions that make Rotary great.
Here are some examples of prospective membership
situations that may arise and how a club can use
personalisation to bring in a new member:
A time-starved business owner might not see the
commitment of Rotary as something he or she can
do. Personalise Rotary for this person by explaining
the benefits of the in-person networking element of a
club and how it can help their business. Also, show
them opportunities on how their business or profession
can benefit the Rotary club, thus making it a mutual
partnership and time well spent.
• An employee is hesitant to join Rotary because
he or she has revolving commitments that may
make it difficult to make the weekly meeting. Ask
the member about their interests and see if there
would be a fit outside of the regular meeting.
Perhaps this person can make service projects
that are outside the regular workday or attend
events on behalf of the club that can serve as
meeting makeups. Allowing for some flexibility will
enable this prospective member to join the club as
opposed to turning them away.
• An individual approaches a current member about
a service idea they had for the community and
asks if your Rotary club engages in that activity.
If the club does, extend membership and ask for
their help. If the club doesn’t perform that service,
extend membership and ask them to help get it
started. Asking someone for help personalises the
experience because his or her expertise is needed
in the organisation.
• A guest speaker from a local charity speaks to a
Rotary club about a project in town that they need
the club’s help with. The club has committed to
provide members for service and also provide
financial support. Take the next step by extending
membership to the individual speaking to the club.
This will allow them to create a partnership that
goes way beyond writing a cheque or providing a
helping hand.
Using the concept of personalisation could rapidly
grow a Rotary club if used in conjunction with traditional
membership drives or advertisements. The magnetism
of Rotary and its mission is enough to pique one’s
interest, but refining the message to the fabric of one’s
soul will make them a Rotarian for life.
With acknowledgement to Michael Bucca, who verbalised the concept

RISELEY: FOCUS ONenvironment and membership diversity
RI President-elect Ian Riseley unveiled his 2017/18
presidential theme, Rotary: Making a Difference, to
incoming district governors attending training at
the annual International Assembly in San Diego.
Riseley, a member of the Rotary Club of
Sandringham (D9810, Australia) also made the case
that protecting the environment and curbing climate
change are essential to Rotary’s goal of sustainable
service.
Environmental degradation and global climate
change are serious threats to everyone, Riseley said.
“They are having a disproportionate impact on those
who are most vulnerable, those to whom Rotary has
the greatest responsibility. Yet environmental issues
rarely register on the Rotary agenda,” he said.
Environmental degradation is one of the major
threats listed by the United Nations’ High-level Panel on
Threats, Challenges and Change. Riseley added, “The
time is long past when environmental sustainability can
be dismissed as not Rotary’s concern. It is, and must
be, everyone’s concern.”
The president-elect challenged every Rotary club
to make a difference by planting a tree for each of its
members between the start of the Rotary year on 1 July
and Earth Day on 22 April 2018.
In his address to the 2017/18 class of district
governors, Riseley also urged clubs to improve their
gender balance and lower the average age of their
membership.
Today, 21 percent of Rotary’s members are women,
up from 13 percent 10 years ago. At that rate, Riseley
noted, achieving gender parity will take three more
decades. “Three decades is far too long to wait to
achieve a Rotary that reflects the world in which we
live. We need to make it a priority now,” he said.
In 2017, 103 of the 539 incoming governors are
women and Riseley said each is the type of woman
the organisation needs: “Leaders who will help Rotary
connect with, represent and better serve all of the
members of all our communities.”
Riseley also said it is imperative that clubs find ways
to attract and engage younger members. Today about
five percent of reported members are under 40 and a
majority of members are over 60, he told the audience.
“Consider what Rotary stands to look like 10 or 20
years from now if we don’t get very serious, very soon,
about bringing in younger members,” Riseley said.
Clubs will make a difference this year through their
own decisions, he said, but it will take teamwork on
a global scale to move Rotary forward and secure its
future. “We know that we can do more together than
we could ever hope to do alone,” he told the incoming
governors. “I ask you to keep that spirit of teamwork
and cooperation always in your minds and to take it
back with you to your districts.”

WORLD ROUND UPThe activities and accomplishments of Rotary clubs around the world
Bolivia
While Bolivia’s national health system pays for surgery and
postoperative care to treat hydrocephalus – the excessive
accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid in the brain – the cost
of the valves inserted to divert that fluid is not covered. The
result, say members of the Rotary Club of Chuquiago-Marka
(D4690), La Paz, is that many Bolivians imperil their health by
forgoing the procedure. To combat that, the club 15 years ago
created a “valve bank” to help hundreds of indigent patients
receive the devices. The initiative, celebrated as a model of
how a host-driven project begun with Matching Grants can
morph into a successful Global Grant project, is on track to
see the donation of its 1 000th valve in May.
A $35 fee collected from the recipients’ families is largely symbolic – the valves typically cost a few hundred
dollars – but the investment brings “a sense of involvement that each patient and his family must have,” says
Yukio Hasegawa, a Chuquiago-Marka Rotarian and a coordinator of the bank with Ricardo Sánchez, a club past
president. “Patients do not value actions or things they receive for free.”
United States
Bells are a point of civic pride in Liberty, Texas, where concrete
bells - sold by Rotarians - adorn residential lawns, businesses
and a park in the town of about 8 300 northeast of Houston. “It
was the brainchild of one of Liberty’s members, Bill Brackin,
who had the idea to use it as a fundraiser for two purposes -
to go to PolioPlus and to rebuild the Liberty Bell Tower,” said
Carol Skewes, a past president of the Rotary Club of Liberty
(D5910) who is now with the Rotary Club of Baytown, Texas.
About 80 of the 136-kilogramme, 91-centimetre-high bells have
been sold for $300 each and after expenses, $6 000 has gone
toward each of the two causes.

Japan
Showcasing the robust network of Japanese Rotarian scholars,
about 800 Rotarians, Rotaractors, Interactors, Rotary Peace
Fellows and their family members attended the Rotary Foundation
Centennial Symposium on 27 November in Tokyo. Dubbed
“Foundation Alumni Serving Humanity,” the event was organised
by the Japan Rotary Alumni Association, an umbrella for 25
district-level alumni groups. RI President John Germ, in his
keynote speech, noted that two-thirds of Japanese districts host
alumni associations and that Japan has sponsored the second-
highest number – about 8 700 of the 43 000-plus – of Rotary Foundation Scholars and Fellows since 1947.
Brazil
The Rotary Club of Mandaguary (D4630), in the southern state of
Paraná, teamed with first responders and staged a mock traffic
disaster and presented 18 hour-long lectures to about 2 000
children and young adults to reinforce the importance of road
safety. The crash simulation aimed for realism, with firefighters and
paramedics assembling on Avenida Amazonas on 24 September to
treat ‘injured’ pedestrians and extinguish a vehicle fire triggered
by an ersatz motorist driven to mock mayhem by the distraction
of a cellphone. After the re-enactment, club members distributed
pamphlets on safe driving and refereed educational games on the
matter.
Gambia
Jalanbang, a small village in Gambia, had no school until 2010,
when an enterprising tour guide built one with money donated
by satisfied customers. Christine Gascoigne, a past president of
the Rotary Club of Ely Hereward (D1080, England) suggested that
her club adopt the Mansa Colley Bojang School in 2011. The next
year Gascoigne raised about £1 200 in pledges from a 50-mile walk
along the north Norfolk coast, with another £400 given by the club.
In 2015/16, a matching grant from District 1080 in England funded
the addition of a chicken house and 500 day-old chicks. “Within six
months,” Gascoigne says, “they were producing 400 eggs a day,
generating an income of £10 and were the fifth-largest producer of eggs in Gambia.”

By Bryant Brownlee
More than 240 Rotarians and guests gathered in
Brussels, Belgium, on 8 March for Rotary at the
European Union, a special event that explored how
Rotary and the European Union can work together
to achieve peace.
The meeting was the first of its kind at the European
Union (EU) and was modelled on the tradition of Rotary
Day at the United Nations. Rotarians, EU officials and
business leaders at the two-hour event asked how
business and civil society organisations (like Rotary)
can work with the EU to achieve the UN Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs) and build more peaceful
and stable societies.
Françoise Tulkens, a professor and former vice-
president of the European Court of Human Rights,
moderated the meeting, which included presentations
from Karmenu Vella (European commissioner for
environment, maritime affairs and fisheries), Jean de
leu de Cecil (general secretary of the board of Colruyt
Group), Rene Branders (president of the Belgian
Federation of Chambers of Commerce) and John
Hewko (Rotary International general secretary).
Vella emphasised the importance of working with
business and civil society to achieve the development
goals. He also recognised the important role Rotary can
play in this global effort.
“You have a massive asset; your vast network and
you can use it to bring community stakeholders together
in order to turn the SDGs into reality.
“Rotary International is uniquely placed to create
transformational alliances between business and civil
society, pushing forward the implementation of our
common agenda,” said Vella.
Hewko highlighted Rotary’s efforts to address the
ongoing migration crisis and foster inclusive economic
development.
“At Rotary, we believe that we can only respond
by forming smart partnerships in which the EU,
governments, civil society, the private sector and other
organisations all play an important role. This is why the
growing relationship between Rotary and the European
Union is a cause for optimism,” said Hewko.
Because the EU supports the global polio eradication
effort, organisers of Rotary at the European Union
are confident that there are other opportunities for
collaboration between the organisations.
The event was coordinated with the European
Commission and organised by Michel Coomans and
Hugo-Maria Schally, RI representatives to the EU,
with the support of Kathleen Van Rysseghem, Philippe
Vanstalle and Nathalie Huyghebaert, the governors of
the Rotary districts in Belgium and Luxembourg.

PDG Patrick Coleman and Sarah van Heerden
80%
of maternal
deaths are
preventable
What can
we do to
save our
moms and
babies?

By PDG Patrick Coleman: Regional Rotary
Foundation Coordinator Zone 20A South

10 Zambian grandchildren. PDG Patrick’s adopted
son is Past President John Bwalya of the Rotary
Club of Luanshya (D9210).
Maternal and Child Health is one of Rotary’s Areas
of Focus. It currently ranks fifth in Global Grant
projects in southern Africa. While researching
information for this article I discovered some
frightening information.
What we know…
Maternal health is the health of women
during pregnancy, childbirth and the postpartum period.
It encompasses the health care dimensions of family
planning, pre-conception, prenatal and postnatal care
in order to ensure a positive and fulfilling experience
in most cases and reduce maternal morbidity and
mortality in other cases.
The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA)
estimated that 289 000 women died of pregnancy or
childbirth related causes in 2013. These causes range
from severe bleeding to obstructed labour, all of which
have highly effective interventions. As women have
gained access to family planning and skilled birth
attendance with backup emergency obstetric care,
the global maternal mortality ratio has fallen from 380
maternal deaths per 100 000 live births in 1990 to
210 deaths per 100 000 live births in 2013, but that
increased to 216 in 2015. This has resulted in many
countries halving their maternal death rates.
What I found…
In southern Africa only two countries are below that
average. Four countries have doubled that average and
one country has almost tripled the average maternal
deaths in childbirth.
Angola 477 deaths
Botswana 129 deaths
Lesotho 487 deaths
Malawi 634 deaths
Mozambique 489 deaths
Namibia 265 deaths
South Africa 138 deaths
Swaziland 389 deaths
Zambia 224 deaths
Zimbabwe 443 deaths
We have an even more serious issue when looking
at infant mortality in Africa. Of the 225 nations on earth
only Afghanistan has a higher infant mortality rate than
any other country in Africa. The next 24 countries on the
list are African. Only nine countries have an average
infant mortality rate lower than the world average of
31.7 deaths per 1 000 (see next page).
The ‘sometimes’ overlooked area of focus
MATERNAL & CHILD HEALTH
The Rotarian Action Group for Population
and Development (RFPD) serves as a
resource for clubs and districts around
the world in the area of maternal and
child health.
The most challenging aspect of
RFPD’s work is the simple fact that this
isn’t an issue that can be resolved in
merely five or ten years. It’s an on going
effort with limitless opportunities to
impact women and girls worldwide.
RFPD has established and will
continue to maintain a database of
population based projects. A number of
projects have already been completed
and provide direct benefit to less
developed parts of the world.

What must be done…
Four elements are essential to maternal death prevention.
• First, prenatal care. It is recommended that expectant mothers receive at least four antenatal visits to
check and monitor the health of mother and foetus.
• Second, skilled birth attendance with emergency backup such as doctors, nurses and midwives who
have the skills to manage normal deliveries and recognise the onset of complications.
• Third, emergency obstetric care to address the major causes of maternal death which are haemorrhage,
sepsis, unsafe abortion, hypertensive disorders and obstructed labour.
• Lastly, postnatal care which is the six weeks following delivery. During this time bleeding, sepsis and
hypertensive disorders can occur and new borns are extremely vulnerable in the immediate aftermath of
birth.
What we can do…
Theodore Roosevelt was credited for saying: “Complaining about a problem without proposing a solution is
called whining.”
The first step is to find out what the local hospitals, clinics and birthing centres in your area need, then find
a way to supply that need. Use Global Grants, District Grants and partnerships with other stakeholders in our
communities. Even one infant or one mother dying in childbirth is one too many.
The need is great, but we are part of a great organisation that has been “Doing Good in the World” for 100
years. We are that “Gift to the World and we will be “Making a Difference!”

Every day some 25 000 children under the age of
five die around the world. That is equivalent to a
child dying every four seconds, 17 children dying
every minute and 1 041 children dying every hour.
In the ten or so minutes you will spend reading this,
at least 170 more children would have died. A sobering
and somewhat terrifying thought.
As it is, an estimated 5.9 million children under
the age of five die each year because of malnutrition,
inadequate healthcare and poor sanitation — all of
which can be prevented. Each year, eight million babies
die before or during delivery or in the first week of their
life. Furthermore, many babies are left motherless and
become ten times more likely to die within two years of
Maternal death is the death of
a woman while pregnant or within
42 days of termination of pregnancy
(irrespective of the duration and
site of the pregnancy) from any
cause related to or aggravated by
the pregnancy or its management,
but not from accidental or incidental
causes. Maternal morbidity is
a term that refers to any physical
or mental illness or disability
directly related to pregnancy and/or
childbirth.
HOW MANY CHILDREN
will die today?
their mothers’ death.
While motherhood often is a positive and fulfilling
experience, for too many women it is associated with
suffering, ill-health and even death.
There are numerous birth-related disabilities that
affect many women and go untreated such as injuries
to pelvic muscles, organs or the spinal cord. At least
20 percent of the burden of disease in children below
the age of five is related to poor maternal health and
nutrition, as well as quality of care at delivery and during
the new born period.
Rotary district and club projects make high-quality
health care available to vulnerable mothers and children
so that they can live longer and grow stronger. With
maternal and child health being an area of focus, many
clubs have implemented projects to increase access to
quality care, more and more mothers and their children
have received the opportunity for a healthy future.
Some projects have provided education,
immunisations, birth kits and mobile health clinics. Other
projects have helped teach women how to prevent
mother-to-infant HIV transmission, how to breast-feed
and how to protect themselves and their children from
disease.
Some clubs have also focused on improving women
and children’s access to skilled health personnel
(doctors, nurses, midwives or community health care
workers), medicines, nutrition and disease screening.
Much is being done, but we can do more. Initiatives
such as the Rotary Family Healthy Days, held annually
to provide free healthcare services to thousands of
communities in a number of African countries, have
helped complement many of the maternal and child
health projects.
Where do maternal deaths occur?
In some areas of the world, the high number of
maternal deaths mirrors imbalances in access to health
services and highlights the gap between rich and poor.

More than 88 percent of all maternal deaths occur
in developing countries and more than half of these in
sub-Saharan Africa, while a third of the deaths occur in
south Asia.
On average, women in developing countries have
many more pregnancies than women in developed
countries - consequently their lifetime risk of death due
to pregnancy is higher.
Complications during pregnancy and childbirth are
a leading cause of death among adolescent girls in
developing countries and in these countries, the risk
of maternal mortality is highest among girls under 15.
The probability that a 15-year-old woman will eventually
die from a maternal cause is one in 4 900 in developed
countries compared to one in 180 in developing
countries.
In countries designated as fragile states, the risk is
one in 54.
Why do women and children die?
Women die as a result of complications during
and following pregnancy and childbirth. Most of these
complications develop during pregnancy and most are
preventable or treatable. Other complications may exist
before pregnancy but are worsened during pregnancy,
especially if not managed as part of the woman’s care.
The major complications of severe bleeding (mostly
after childbirth), infections (usually after childbirth), high
blood pressure during pregnancy, complications from
delivery and unsafe abortions, account for nearly 75
percent of all maternal deaths.
The remainder are caused by or related to diseases
such as malaria and AIDS during pregnancy.
Why don’t they get the care they need?
In regions with insufficient health workers, such as
sub-Saharan Africa and south Asia, poor women in
remote areas are the least likely to receive adequate
healthcare.
In high-income countries, virtually all women have at
least four antenatal care visits, are attended by a skilled
health worker during childbirth and receive postpartum

care. In 2015, only 40 percent of pregnant women in
low-income countries had the recommended antenatal
care visits.
Other factors that prevent women from receiving
or seeking care during pregnancy and childbirth are:
Poverty; distance; lack of information; inadequate
services and cultural practices.
According to the World Health Organisation, maternal
health can be improved by identifying and addressing
the barriers that limit access to quality maternal health
services at all levels of the health system.
How can their lives be saved?
Training and skills development
Most maternal deaths are preventable, as the health-
care solutions to prevent or manage complications
are well known. A lack of skilled care before, during
and after birth seriously increases the risk of death
and complications. In 2015, as many as 2.7 million
new born babies died and 2.6 million were stillborn.
This number could significantly decrease if there
were more skilled attendants present. In developing
countries, nearly half of all births are not attended by
caregivers trained in midwifery.
Disease prevention and control
In sub-Saharan Africa, the prevalence of malaria
has greatly impacted on the health of pregnant
women and children. Birth defects and anaemia are
commonly caused by the disease and the distribution
of iron supplements, insecticide treated malaria nets
and anti-malarial treatments has helped improve the
health and survival rate of mothers and their children.
Advocacy and education
With advocacy, technical help and funding,
UNICEF has provided to women and their families
with information on the signs of
pregnancy complications, birth
spacing, timing and limiting for
nutrition and general health.
It also successfully worked to
improve the nutritional status
of pregnant women in an effort
to prevent low birth weight or
other problems.
Education is vital to
improving the health of
women and children
across the world. It is
essential that we get
girls to and keep them
in school.
Educating girls
has proved to benefit
The difference between life and deformity or death in mothers and their babies can often be as simple
as transport, antenatal visits to doctors or clinics, the presence of a trained midwife during labour and
postnatal care.

maternal and child health. Compared to those who
received little or no schooling, girls who were educated
for six or more years saw a drastic and consistent
improvement in their prenatal and postnatal care, as
well as childbirth survival rates. Educating mothers
also greatly reduced the death rate of children under
five.
It is a fact that educated girls have a higher self-
esteem and are more likely to avoid HIV infection,
violence and exploitation. They also share good
health and sanitation practices with their families and
throughout their communities. But most importantly,
an educated mother is more likely to ensure her
children are educated as well.
How can we bring about change?
• Ensure that every pregnant woman has access
to clean, safe childbirth services, including
emergency care within two hours.
• Help develop or maintain the transportation
infrastructure within communities. A lack of
transport to a care facility or a delay thereof
can drastically increase the risk of death during
childbirth.
• By strengthening the existing health care network
in our communities to remove the barriers to high-
quality facility-based care. This can be done by
ensuring facilities are properly equipped, well
supplied and effectively managed.
• Ensure that all relevant data is regularly collected,
analysed and used in decision making and
advocacy.
• Women, their families and their communities need
to be actively engaged and empowered to plan for
and manage access to health services.
• Ensure that attention is paid during the period
when women and new borns are most vulnerable
– labour, delivery and the first 48 hours after
childbirth.
• Ensure that maternal and new born health care are
integrated with HIV and family planning services in
the community.

Pollution killsENVIRONMENT RISKS
TO CHILD HEALTH

The first report, Inheriting a Sustainable World:
Atlas on Children’s Health and the Environment reveals
that a large portion of the most common causes of
death among children aged one month to five years -
diarrhoea, malaria and pneumonia - are preventable
by interventions known to reduce environmental risks,
such as access to safe water and clean cooking fuels.
“A polluted environment is a deadly one - particularly
for young children,” said Dr Margaret Chan, WHO
Director-General. “Their developing organs and
immune systems, smaller bodies and airways, make
them especially vulnerable to dirty air and water.”
Harmful exposures can start in the mother’s womb
and increase the risk of premature birth. Additionally,
when infants and pre-schoolers are exposed to indoor
and outdoor air pollution and second-hand smoke they
have an increased risk of pneumonia in childhood and
a lifelong increased risk of chronic respiratory diseases,
such as asthma. Exposure to air pollution may also
increase their lifelong risk of heart disease, stroke and
cancer.
Top five causes of death in children under
five years linked to the environment
A companion report, Don’t pollute my future! The
impact of the environment on children’s health, provided
a comprehensive overview of the environment’s impact
on children’s health and illustrated the scale of the
challenge. Every year:
• 570 000 children under five years die from
respiratory infections, such as pneumonia,
attributable to indoor and outdoor air pollution, as
well as second-hand smoke.
• 361 000 children under five years die due to
diarrhoea, as a result of poor access to clean
water, sanitation and hygiene.
• 270 000 children die during their first month of
life from conditions, including prematurity, which
could be prevented through access to clean
water, sanitation and hygiene in health facilities
as well as reducing air pollution.
• 200 000 deaths of children under five years
from malaria could be prevented through
environmental actions, such as reducing breeding
sites of mosquitoes or covering drinking-water
storage.
• 200 000 children under five years die from
unintentional injuries attributable to the
environment, such as poisoning, falls and
drowning.
Ongoing and emerging environmental
threats to children’s health
“A polluted environment results in a heavy toll on
the health of our children,” said Dr Maria Neira, WHO
Director, Department of Public Health, Environmental
and Social Determinants of Health. “Investing in the
removal of environmental risks to health, such as
improving water quality or using cleaner fuels, will result
in massive health benefits.”
For example, emerging environmental hazards, such
as electronic and electrical waste (such as old mobile
phones) that are improperly recycled, expose children to
toxins which can lead to reduced intelligence, attention
deficits, lung damage and cancer. The generation of
electronic and electrical waste is forecasted to increase
More than one in four deaths of children under five years of age are
attributable to unhealthy environments. According to two reports from
the World Health Organisation, every year environmental risks - such
as indoor and outdoor air pollution, second-hand smoke, unsafe water,
lack of sanitation and inadequate hygiene - take the lives of 1.7 million
children younger than five years.

by 19 percent between 2014 and 2018, to 50
million metric tonnes by 2018.
Climate change, rising temperatures and
levels of carbon dioxide favour pollen growth
which is associated with increased rates of
asthma in children. Worldwide, 11 to 14 percent
of children aged five years and older currently
report asthma symptoms and an estimated 44
percent of these are related to environmental
exposures. Air pollution, second-hand tobacco
smoke and indoor mould and dampness make
asthma more severe in children.
In households without access to basic
services, such as safe water and sanitation or
that are smoky due to the use of unclean fuels,
such as coal or dung for cooking and heating,
children are at an increased risk of diarrhoea
and pneumonia.
Children are also exposed to harmful
chemicals through food, water, air and products
around them. Chemicals, such as fluoride, lead
and mercury pesticides, persistent organic
pollutants and others in manufactured goods,
eventually find their way into the food chain.
And, while leaded petrol has been phased out
almost entirely in all countries, lead is still found
in many paints and is known to affect brain
development.
Making all places safe for children
Reducing air pollution inside and outside
households, improving safe water and
sanitation and improving hygiene (including
in health facilities where women give birth),
protecting pregnant women from second-
hand tobacco smoke and building safer
environments, can prevent children’s deaths
and diseases.
For example, multiple government sectors,
communities and non-profit organisations can
work together to improve the following:
• Housing: Ensure clean fuel for heating
and cooking, no mould or pests and
remove unsafe building materials and
lead paint.
• Schools: Provide safe sanitation and
hygiene, free of noise and pollution,
while promoting good nutrition.
• Health facilities: Ensure safe water,
sanitation, hygiene and reliable
electricity.
• Urban planning: Create more green
spaces, safe walking and cycling paths.
• Transport: Reduce emissions and
increase public transport.
• Agriculture: Reduce the use of
hazardous pesticides and eliminate
child labour.
• Industry: Manage hazardous waste
and reduce the use of harmful
chemicals.
• Health sector: Monitor health outcomes
and educate about environmental health
effects and prevention.
Under the United Nations Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs) countries are working on a set of
targets to guide interventions for children’s environmental health,
as well as to end preventable deaths of new borns and children
under five by 2030. In addition to SDG 3, which aims to ensure
healthy lives and promote well-being for all, other SDGs work to
improve water, sanitation and hygiene, transition to clean energy
to reduce air pollution and reverse climate change – all of which
will have an impact on children’s health.

The statues at the Great West Door of Westminster Abbey that depict the 20-century
martyrs. Maximilian Kolbe, Manche Masemola, Janani Luwum, Grand Duchess
Elizabeth of Russia, Martin Luther King, Óscar Romero, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Esther
John, Lucian Tapiedi, and Wang Zhiming. Right: The stature of Manche Masemola.
The Manche Masemola Anglican Church
established an aftercare centre in Lombardy East,
Johannesburg, and the Rotary Club of Edenvale
(D9400) used a District Grant to assist in furnishing
and equipping the centre.
Once that was completed, the church asked the
club for help in starting a vegetable garden to provide
food for the aftercare children. The garden would also
serve a secondary fundraising purpose, as the surplus
produce would be sold to the community.
Edenvale eagerly agreed to help and contacted
Seeds for Africa. A consultant was sent to the property,
a vacant lot next door to the church, to evaluate the
proposal.Helpedbythreewomenfromthecongregation,
an employee of Seeds for Africa commenced work
on the garden in September 2016. The first crop was
harvested in January.
Funds to support this project were raised
by the Rotary Club of Edenvale (D9400)
at its Gift Wrapping Kiosk at Greenstone
Shopping Centre in December.
The church was named after the first
female African martyr who lived in the
Limpopo area.
It is believed that Manche Masemola
was born in, or around, 1913 and lived with
her parents, two older brothers, a sister
and a cousin (Lucia) in Marishane. As
German and then English missionaries had
worked in the Transvaal Colony for several
decades, a small Christian community
had developed among the Pedi people.
At the time, the Christians were generally
distrusted by the Pedi who still practiced their traditional
religion.
By 1919, anAnglican Community of the Resurrection
mission was established by Father Augustine Moeka at
Marishane. Masemola attended this church with Lucia,
where she heard Moeka preach.
Her parents did not approve, as according to the
historians at Westminster Abbey, they feared that
she would leave them or refuse to marry and sought
to discourage her. But she refused and was beaten
repeatedly. The young girl knew her life was in danger
and often said that she would die at her parents’ hands.
Claiming Masemola had been bewitched, her
parents took her to see a Sangoma (African traditional
healer) and beat her until she consumed a traditional
remedy. The situation worsened, Masemola received
daily beatings and her mother hid her clothes to prevent
Masemola from attending further instructional classes.
Eventually the situation came to a head on, or around, 4
August 1928. After being stripped naked, Masemola ran
away and hid. When her parents found her, they took
the teenaged girl to a lonely place and beat her to death.
Masemola, who had said she would be baptised in her
own blood, was buried alongside a granite boulder on a
remote hillside without being baptised. A few days later,
her sister Mabule, became ill and died.
Their father buried Mabule alongside her
sister and planted eurhorbia trees beside
their graves.
In 1935, a small group of Christians
made a pilgrimage to her grave. It’s said
that her mother became upset and spat
at the pilgrims. Over time it became an
annual pilgrimage and today hundreds of
people make the journey in August to the
virgin martyr’s grave in Limpopo.
In a cruel twist of irony, Masemola’s
mother converted to Christianity and
was baptised forty years later in 1969. In
1975 the name of Manche Masemola was
added to the calendar of the Church of the
Province of Southern Africa.
The Anglican Church of Southern Africa
commemorates Masemola in its Calendar of Saints on
the 4th day of February each year, as do some other
churches in the Anglican Communion. She’s considered
one of the ten 20th-century martyrs from across the
world who are depicted in statues above the Great West
Door of Westminster Abbey, London.
This garden was
established to help feed
the children.

Funds raised at last year’s Rotary
Club of Hoedspruit (D9400) Kruger
to Canyon Cycle Tour were divided
between anti-rhino poaching and
the club’s social upliftment projects.
Sixty percent of the net proceeds
went to the participating reserves
anti-rhino poaching operations and 20
percent to the club’s major projects.
The balance went to a range of smaller
projects and to meet local needs.
The participating reserves are
obliged to use the money for anti-
rhino poaching initiatives, such as
employing, training and equipping
rhino minders or re-inforcing fencing,
training or purchasing anti-poaching
dogs.
Following the inaugural tour in
2015, entries (which were limited to
100 cyclists for safety reasons) in 2016
were just under 80 and the 2017 event
is already fully booked. The exact date
for the 2018 event will be finalised
shortly but will be in July.

SHARED
The popular cycle tour has raised
funds to support both rhino
conservation and the club’s projects.

The Carel du Toit Centre at the Tygerberg
Hospital offers an all-encompassing,
structured school environment with
an early intervention programme, pre-
primary and foundation phase for
hearing-impaired children.
The centre’s objective is for these
children to become intellectually, socially
and emotionally prepared for integration
into mainstream society.
In 2016, the Rotary Club of Bellville
(D9350) received a request from Sue
Pietersen of the Rotary Club of Bristol
(Breakfast), a club based in D1100,
England, to help it build a tennis and netball
court at the school. Sue’s son was a pupil
at the school in 1990/94 and she was fully
aware of how playing sport aids children’s
motor development and co-ordination.
Most of the funding came from the Bristol
and Bellville clubs but donations were also
received from Australia, Germany and the
Rotary Clubs of Durbanville, Constantia
and Oostenberg (D9350).
Construction was completed by the
end of 2016 but the official handover was
postponed for the new school year in
February when representatives from Bristol
could also be present.
Two dedicated Bellville members, PPs
Mike Rosewall and Jan Leerkamp, took
charge of the project. PP Mike Rosewall’s
extensive experience in construction
ensured that everything was done according
to specifications while PP Jan Leerkamp
kept close control on the income and
expenses. President David Holtzhausen
later recognised their contributions with
Paul Harris Sapphire pins.

In keeping with RI President John Germ’s message
that Rotarians need to concentrate on the final
push to end polio, the Harare-based Rotary clubs
(D9210), their Rotaractors, families and supporters
held a run/walk fun day to raise funds for PolioPlus.
This event was created to bring awareness of
Rotary’s push to end polio and coincided with the visit of
Susanne Rea of Australia, the champion of the World’s
Greatest Meal to End Polio campaign.
In spite of an early start from The Heritage Senior
School on the outskirts of Borrowdale Brooke, there
was much excitement, laughter and fun. The route
wound through the suburbs of Quinnington, Greystone
Park and Borrowdale Brooke to the main shopping mall
in Harare’s northern suburbs before travelling back to
the school along the main Borrowdale Road.
Zimbabweans like to braai, so once all the runners
and walkers had returned to Heritage School, it was not
long before the music started, the fires were lit and the
barbecuing began.
Free blood pressure testing was offered and an
ambulance service was on hand - bearing in mind that
there were many “long standing” Rotarians taking part,
this was probably a good idea and we are pleased
to advise that no Rotarians were harmed during the
course of this day.
We had some Zumba sessions going on which folks
joined and left at their leisure, children were running
around having fun. Naturally, a decision was made
during all the incredible noise and chaos that this should
be made an annual event.
My heartfelt thanks to my All Star Harare club
presidents for making this day such a success and for
all those who took part. I am looking forward to an even
bigger and better event in 2017.
District 9210 committed itself to supporting PolioPlus. Last year, it hosted Susanne Rae, champion of The
World’s Greatest Meal and held a number of fundraising activities. Earlier this year the district reached the
target set by RI President John Germ of contributing at least 20 percent of its District Designated Fund to
PolioPlus. Districts which meet this target will receive a special citation.
THIS CLOSE AND GETTING CLOSER

The annual Rotary Club of Knysna (D9350) Lagoon
SPLASH Festival has fast become an important
fixture on the town’s holiday calendar. It has been
held five times and is gaining in popularity for those
looking for a spot of clean (but sometimes muddy)
family fun. The festival caters for both active
participants and enthusiastic spectators.
The dirty, wet Mud Run was brought back due to
public demand. More than 300 adults and children
rolled and crawled through mud, conquered obstacles
and finally, were washed off under fire department’s
hoses. An impressive 280 swimmers braved the estuary
for the Lagoon Mile and 500 metre races.
The canoe races were also well-supported and as
usual, the very popular rubber ducks used in the duck
race were sold out. The local animal welfare society
benefited from the prize of the winning duck.
A new entry this year was a puppet show and it is
hoped to expand on this in the coming years.

ROTARY SPLASHES IN KNYSNA

As clubs around the world celebrated Rotary’s
112th year, the Rotary Club of Jeffreys Bay and its
Satellite Club of St. Francis Bay (D9370) hosted an
auction at the restaurant De Viswijf.
Members of community projects, charities and
other organisations attended the event and raised
their glasses and auction paddles in support of the
clubs. Proceeds from the auction will support various
initiatives and projects that the clubs have undertaken.
Funds were also raised for the dance crew The
Flame Boyz. This talented team of youngsters will be
auditioning on South Africa’s Got Talent, in Cape Town
in May.
Guests were also encouraged to donate non-
perishable food to the Hospice Grocery Drive. Several
boxes of pastas, tinned goods and other necessities
were collected, which were added to the four trollies of
donations already gathered.
The auction commenced shortly thereafter and was
led by Jeff Clause, the manager of St Francis Links
Golf Course, who also served as master of ceremonies.
Under his gavel, much needed funds were raised as
attendees bid blindly on mystery boxes donated by
local businesses.
The boxes contained vouchers, bottles of wine and
even a weekend away for two.

annual Shavathon in the Knysna
Mall. CANSA Shavathons are held
in many towns and cities across
South Africa in support of those
who have been affected by cancer.
Supporters shave or spray their
heads and/or donate to CANSA.
It was as always a bitter-
sweet occasion, where members
remembered their friends and family
who lost the fight and celebrate the
victory of the survivors.
Heads and hair were sprayed
with neon colours and some brave
individuals decided to brave the
clippers and shave their heads.
Many made donations to CANSA,
while enjoying the artistic attempts of
the club’s designated hair sprayers.
SHAVE,
SPRAY &
DONATE!
The Rotary Club of Newcastle-Majuba (D9370)
donated an electric wheelchair to John van Reenen.
The artist and former champion athlete, had his
right leg amputated after complications arose
from diabetes. He also suffers with arthritis, which
has affected one of his hands, left foot and pelvis.
Although in continual pain, he continues to be in
good spirits.
John van Reenen was born on 26 March 1947 in
South Africa. As an athlete, his international competitive
exposure was limited by the ban from international
sports that was placed on apartheid South Africa.
However, he managed to compete internationally
after he accepted an athletics scholarship, one of
five he was offered, to study art at Washington State
University.
In the 1970 season, he twice broke the South
African record whilst competing for WSU but his
major achievement was in the spring of 1975, when
at a meet in Stellenbosch, he threw 68.48m to set a
new world record for discus. He won the British 3As
championship later that year and the South African
national championships in 1985, 1986 and 1987.
Being an artist, Van Reenen joined the studio of
Jan Vermeiren and also lectured at the University of
Stellenbosch.
He found some success with his art being sold
across the United States of America and throughout
South Africa.
Van Reenen was inducted into the South African
Sports Hall of Fame in February 2009 for his World
Record Discus Throw.
HELPING A SPORTING HERO

For the past 23 years, the Rotary Club of Durban
North (D9370) has offered a leadership course
for the head prefects and their deputies from
high schools within KwaZulu-Natal. This year’s
leadership course was held at Emoyeni Guest
Lodge, Cato Ridge from 4 to 6 January.
The course was specially designed to give the young
leaders the tools necessary to assist them throughout
the year while leading their respective schools. It
has been attended by prefects from all categories of
schools, all of whom found it highly beneficial. This year
35 students from 15 schools attended the course.
The club invites an impressive line-up of facilitators
and speakers to inspire and educate the students. This
year’s speakers included: Educational Psychologist
Steve Mack; Glenda Slade from iConverse talking
on communication skills; Colin Vermaak from Human
Impact on personality types; Alma Maxwell from
Outsourced Communications on social media; Attorney
Roger Knowles on Mediation vs Litigation and Clive
Howe from Ec@ps on Strategic Planning.
The students also enjoyed some very interactive and
fun team building activities with Brett Ellis from Team
Attitude and Adele Benvie from The Success Company.
The three-day course ended with a cacophony of sound
created by the Talking Drums team of Mike and Tracey
Chananie.
“Although we sometimes get some grumbles from
learners not wanting to cut their holiday short, holding
the course just before the start of the school year is
the perfect time to motivate them for the task ahead.
They have the opportunity to share their new-found
knowledge with the other prefects or leaders within
the school and plan their strategies for the year prior
to school commencing,” said course convenor Hilary
Augustus. “Once they have completed the course, the
request is to make the course longer!”
From the positive feedback received each year
after this course, the Rotary Club of Durban North will
hopefully continue to offer this life changing course for
many years to come.

PREPARED TO LEAD

YouthOnce again, the EarlyAct Club of St Catherine’s (D9370)
participated in the Rotary Global Swimarathon. This is
the fifth year that the annual global event has been held
and the club has proudly participated in all five. The
event is always held as close to 23 February (Rotary’s
birthday) as possible.
The Rotary Club of Empangeni, its Interact club and the
school’s Parent Teacher Association assisted the EarlyActors
in staging the event: The Rotarians officiated at the event,
while the Interactors made and sold pancakes. This year
the club raised more than R3 600 which will be donated to
End Polio Now. Over the last five years the swimarathon has
donated R20 348 to End Polio Now.
The Rotary Global Swimarathon is organised and co-
ordinated by the Rotary Club of Grantham (D1070, UK). On
25th February 2012, 4 546 swimmers in over 23 countries at
64 locations from more than 100 Rotary, Rotaract, Interact
and sporting clubs swam in the exact same hour 12 to 1pm
GMT to break the Guinness World Record for the most
simultaneous swimmers completing 100 metres in human
history. Most importantly, these swimmers raised more than
$100 000 for End Polio Now.
EarlyAct President Anagha Krishnannair
welcomes the swimmers.

SWIMARATHON

How often do people talk passionately about waste
disposal, purifying water, performing post-mortems
or battling excessive heat and danger?
For many of Knysna’s Grade 10 Interactors, who
participated in the recent Rotary Club of Knysna
(D9350) Know Your Town course, these were new and
exciting experiences.
The municipal staff and volunteers gladly presented
and described their tasks and duties in an engaging and
thought-provoking way. The first day was spent getting
to grips with understanding the town’s water, the many
duties the police are required to undertake, the workings
of the magistrate’s court, the town’s waste management
strategies and the activities of a commercial bank.
As always, the learners had a macabre fascination
with what happens in the police mortuary and as always,
everyone left inspired by the dedication, compassion
and empathy demonstrated by those who deal with the
dead as well as the living.
On the second day, the Knysna Basin Project focused
on the estuary in Knysna. By studying rock pools at low
tide, the group came to understand the importance of
the estuary’s health. NSRI volunteers encouraged a
good understanding of resuscitation techniques.
The visit to the regional correctional services facility
left the group shocked as it discovered that the prison is
more than 200 percent full. Two prisoners shared their
stories from before and after imprisonment. Finally the
Interactors inspected the provincial hospital’s newly
refurbished children’s ward. Great fun was had at the
fire station as the youngsters had fun trying to control
the heavy high-pressure fire hoses.
The knowledge gained over the two days was
invaluable and certainly not available in a normal school
programme. The information itself was important but
even more meaningful was the message that came
from all the places they visited: Keep away from the
wrong crowd and drugs, while taking care about your
own personal safety.
Another benefit of this programme was the
opportunity to interact with others from different schools
and social circles. By the end of the two days many of
the learners had exchanged phone numbers and made
plans to get together.

The Rotary Club of Boksburg Lake (D9400) celebrated Rotary’s birthday with an international dinner and
were joined by members of the Rotary Club of Benoni Aurora. Boksburg Lake is in the process of chartering
a new club consisting of mostly young members from its Rotaract Club. Many of these prospective
members attended the dinner. President Nicky Savvides (middle back) with Talitha and Damian Lahoud

The Rotary Club of Rosebank
(D9400), in collaboration with TJ’s
Acoustic Music Club, gave Martin
Mabala, a blind musician, a brand
new guitar at a musical evening
that was hosted by TJ’s at Marks
Park. Martin is a well-known figure
at the Randburg Mall where he
operates as a busker to earn a
living. However, the recent theft
of his guitar had left him unable
to earn. Born in Limpopo, he was
schooled at the Siloe School for
the Blind where he learned to play
both the guitar and the saxophone
and became proficient in both.
The audience at the function was
enthralled by his musical ability
and the club was pleased to have
come to his assistance.

In February, past and present members celebrated
the 30th Anniversary of the Rotary Club of
Pietersburg 100 (D9400).
The club was chartered after a few members of the
Rotary Club of Pietersburg were approached in 1986 by
PDG Walton Lister and PP Robin Goetsch to investigate
the viability of a third club in Pietersburg. It was proposed
that the new club would meet in the evenings as there
were some members of the other clubs who found it
difficult to attend lunch-time meetings. PP Mario Sella-
Rolando, PP Leon van Rhyn, PP Mike van Rooyen and
Rotarian Piet Kruger were among those who indicated
an interest in chartering a new club.
A meeting for prospective members was held at
the Pietersburg Golf Club. There were a few teething
problems but finally the charter was granted on 7
January 1987. The new club was the Rotary Club
of Pietersburg 100 as 1986 marked the centenary
of Pietersburg. Thirty years later, two of the charter
members, PP Klaus Rabiega and PP Bruno Tschudin,
are still active Rotarians.
From the beginning Pietersburg 100 was actively
involved in all avenues of Rotary International. Its
club service organised successful socials and kept

The Rotary Club of Mtunzini

club of the Rotary Club of
Empangeni. Earlier this year,
the club celebrated its charter
as a full Rotary club.

the weekly program alive while its
community service helped those in need
in Pietersburg. The club’s involvement
in Ons Tuiste (Our Home), an old age
home started by the Rotary Club of
Pietersburg, reached its peak a few years
ago when the club built new housing
units as well as a new frail care centre.
A number of successful club projects like
a box-and-dine evening, outdoor-expo
and the annual golf day (its last golf day
netted close to R100 000) raised the
funds needed for the construction.
A number of Matching Grants were
obtained over the years. One grant
was initiated by a visitor from England
in memory of his late wife. It provided
boreholes to supply water to some of the
rural areas in the district. The club was
also involved in upgrading various drop-
in centres, crèches and schools over the
years.
The club hosted its first exchange
student, Loretta Lynch from Australia,
in 1988. Over the years, it has hosted
many more and sent a number of
South African students abroad. It also
actively participated in the Group Study
Exchange programme. Its contributions
towards the Rotary Foundation have
been among the highest in the district
and it has also achieved a number of
presidential citations. Over the years,
the club also recognised many people
as Paul Harris Fellows.
Pietersburg 100 has also contributed
greatly to its district affairs. PPs Leon
van Rhyn and Klaus Rabiega have
acted as DGRs, while PP Tini Eksteen
was actively involved in the GSE
programme served as DG for District
9250 in 1998/99. A few years ago, the
club helped stage the district conference
for PDG Bert Clews and organised the
1999 discon for DG Tini Eksteen. The
current D9400 governor, Grant Daly,
is also a member of Pietersburg 100
and the club is currently organising his
discon that will be held in June 2017 in
Polokwane. A few years ago Pietersburg
100 chartered the Rotary Club of
Haenertsburg.
Currently, Pietersburg 100 has
30 members, most of whom are
businessmen from Polokwane, and
is one of the top three clubs for
membership in District 9400.
The backbone of the Rotary Club
of Pietersburg 100 is its Anns club
which enthusiastically supports all its
fundraising and community projects. The
Anns are also actively involved in their
own fundraising projects and undertake
their own community projects.
