Breast Cancer
Advertorial
Breast cancer, as the name suggests, is a cancer that affects the breasts or mammary glands. It is the second most popular cancer after lung cancer and is the fifth most common cause of deaths due to cancer worldwide. Breast cancer incidence increases with age; the older the woman, the more chances of being dignosed with breast cancer. Nevertheless, younger women with breast lumps are at a far greater risk for breast cancer in comparison to asymptomatic women of the same age group, and to older women. Contrary to popular belief that it is a womans affliction, it can affect both men and women. Breast cancer can be inherited both from either a female or a male relative who may have had the disease or who acts as a carrier of the mutant gene(s). Breast cancer, like other forms of cancer, is considered to be the final outcome of a legion of environmental and hereditary factors. However, the exact cause is not known. It is suspected that more than one factor is involved. Also the risk of breast cancer increases, as a woman gets older
Please note:
Phelo Pele clinic and pharmacy has its own clinic sister who can give you detailed information regarding breast cancer, individuals and organization are welcomed.

Mr ZP Mkhebe said: Theyve not been to my house yet. Ill serve them and not waste their time. It is important to get everyone counted.
Mr Dumis Madalane and Mr Desmond Makwana said: Theyve not been to us yet. We only see cars driving around with yellow stickers and we are waiting for them - patiently. We want to be part of history and we want to know the statistics of South Africa. Yes, it is important to count the people as it reflects in the budgets for service delivery - not the estimate, but the real statistics. We will not be afraid to open our doors. Regs: Mnr. Victor Fourie s: Nee, hulle was nog nie by my nie. Ek gaan nie vir hulle oopmaak nie. Ek gaan net nie die deur antwoord nie. Daar is te veel kriminele wat voorgee hulle is sensusmense. Ja, dit is seker belangrik om getel te word, maar hulle veg n verlore stryd. By hom is Magdaleen Fourie.
Me. Charmaine van der Gryp s: Nee, hulle was nog nie by my nie. Daar is geen nut aan die tellery nie. Hoe weet ek in elk geval dis regte sensus mense wat klop? Daar is soveel bedrog. As hulle by my kom moet hulle maar die vorm los ek sal dit self invul.
Mnr. Francois Reyneke s: Dis nie belangrik dat die mense getel word nie. Dit is in elk geval half onmoontlik om in so n kort tyd almal te tel. Dis SA di. As hulle wel by my opdaag kan hulle die vorm los en ek sal dit invul. By hom is me. Lettie Reyneke.
Mr Tumai Mago said: Yes, theyve been to my door. Then they realized that I am a Zimbabwean and they just count South Africans. They must know how many people are in the country to plan for job creation.
Regs:Mnr. Donovan Swart s: Nee, hulle was nog nie by my nie. Ek sal oopmaak. Dis belangrik dat die mense getel word.
Me. Sonja Joubert s: Hulle kan dit maar los. Hoeveel mense tel hulle rrig raak? By my kan hulle die papier los en mre weer kom haal. Ek gaan hulle beslis nie tee aanbied nie. Dit is belangrik om te weet hoeveel mense daar is, maar as die staatsdiens net hul werk met registrasies van geboortes en sterfes doen, dan is die tellery nie nodig nie.
Mr Kuziva Nyamuroma said: Theyve not been there yet. I am waiting for them. They will help make a better budget for us when they know how many people are in the country. They will know how much food to put on the table.
Ms Anna Muso said: No, Ive not been counted. Ja, I will let them in, no problem. Yes, it is important to get counted.

PROPOSED UPGRADING OF SEWAGE TREATMENT SYSTEM AT AREA STAFF VILLAGE, MODIKWA PLATINUM MINE, BURGERSFORT, LIMPOPO PROVINCE (DEA REF: 12/9/11/L547/5) Polygon Environmental Planning CC is currently undertaking an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) as part of the application for a waste management licence for the proposed upgrading of the existing wastewater treatment works (WWTW) at Area Staff Village on the premises of Modikwa Platinum Mine (near Burgersfort), on part of the farm Hendriksplaats 281-KT. Initially, the application also included the proposed establishment of a new WWTW to replace the existing one at Montrose Staff Village, but this is now being assessed as a separate application that no longer forms part of this EIA. The draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and Environmental Management Programme (EMPR) will be available for public review and comment from 17 October to 3 December 2011, and can be viewed at the following venues on the premises of Modikwa Platinum Mine: the security office at Modikwa main gate, and the office of Mr James Ndou (Environmental & Public Health Leader: Modikwa). Electronic copies of the report can also be requested from Polygon during this period. Please note that a Water Use Licence (WUL) amendment application is simultaneously being conducted by SRK Consulting, whereby an application is being lodged with the Department of Water Affairs for the inclusion of the WWTW in Modikwa Mines existing WUL. A public meeting will also be held on Saturday, 29 October 2011 at 10:00 at Montrose Recreational Hall in Montrose Staff Village, Modikwa Mine, to discuss the EIA and any queries that stakeholders may have regarding the proposed upgrading of the sewage treatment system at Area Village. The meeting will not deal with employment. Comments on the draft EIR and EMPR can be submitted directly to Polygon, or filled in on the comment registers at the security gate or Mr Ndous office. Please note that all comments must reach Polygon before or on 3 December 2011. All comments received will be incorporated into the final EIR and EMPR, which will then be submitted to the national Department of Environmental Affairs (DEA) for decision making. Should you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact us at the details provided.
