10. 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

11. 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).

12. 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.

13. 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.

14. 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)

15. 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.

16. 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……….?

17. The Ethos of a Sportsperson • When I graduated from Hewat in 1983 Dr Richard V d Ross had this to say as the key-note 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.
