The Constitution Hill will be joining the international community in celebrating World Tourism Day on 27 September 2014.

Celebrated worldwide since 1980, the United Nations World Tourism Organisation has for the 2014 edition, themed the day “Tourism and Community Development - focusing on the ability of tourism to empower people and provide them with skills to achieve change in their local communities”.

Constitution Hill will commemorate the day by offering a special rate of R10 for entrance into the museums for the entire weekend.

“This is an ideal opportunity for South Africans from all walks of life to experience our history. I encourage everyone to take up this offer to learn about the dark history of the site, and its transition to a custodian of democracy, human rights and constitutionalism,” said Constitutional Hill acting CEO Themba Ntuli.

Furthermore, in the upcoming months, there will be free entrance for designated groups.

In honour of the Month of Older Persons, free entrance will be offered to senior citizens from 1 October 2014 to 30 November 2014.

In December, all Persons with Disabilities will gain free entry into the heritage site.

Visitors to the museum will be able to join a guided tour, or explore the museum on their own.

The site, which is the home to the Constitutional Court, also houses the notorious Number 4 prison, the Old Fort prison, and the Women’s Gaol, and visitors will get the opportunity to walk through the three prison sections, as well as view permanent exhibitions such as the Mahatma Gandhi exhibition and the Nelson Mandela “Prisoner in a Garden” exhibition. – SAnews.gov.za

South African Airways (SAA)will continue operating in West Africa despite ebola threat

The airline said the Emergency Committee of WHO on the Ebola outbreak held a meeting in Geneva from 6 - 7 August. The meeting, said SAA spokesperson Tlali Tlali, concluded that there “should be no general ban on international travel or trade” to that region.

“Having noted the announcement by WHO, SAA has stepped up measures aimed at protecting its passengers, crew and ground staff,” said Tlali.

SAA flies to five destinations in West Africa, namely Abidjan (Ivory Coast); Accra (Ghana); Cotonou (Benin); Dakar (Senegal) and Lagos (Nigeria).

“There is no travel ban to any of these destinations as a result of the outbreak of the virus in that region. The airline remains committed to ensuring the enforcement of international health protocols associated with air transport,” said Tlali.

The measures include ensuring that the airline has in place vigilant staff that will be on the lookout for passengers who bear specific and visible symptoms associated with the Ebola virus. SAA staff is adequately trained to manage incidents of this nature, should a need to do so arise.

In cases where a passenger may bear visible symptoms associated with the infection at check-in, such passengers will be isolated from the others. This will be followed with passenger interviews and tests conducted by the health authorities in order to determine the possible cause of the symptoms.

“In the event that there is any doubt regarding the medical condition of any suspected passenger, SAA may elect to deny such passenger/s to board its aircraft.

“In cases where passengers develop symptoms after the aircraft has commenced its flight, the crew on board will initiate specific procedures that include isolating such passengers from others on board the aircraft,” said Tlali.

This will eliminate possible physical interaction of affected passengers with other passengers.

Each of SAA’s aircraft has been equipped with special protective gear for crew on board to wear and to enable them to respond to any passengers suspected of having been infected, or displaying the listed symptoms that include sweating, nose bleeding or vomiting.

There is also a special biohazard waste disposal kit intended for the safe disposal of waste.

SAA will remain in communication with its local health authorities and will monitor the situation on a continuous basis. This will enable the airline to constantly do risk assessment and review its decisions, should there be developments that warrant such a review.

“SAA would like to urge everyone travelling to the West African region to take the necessary precaution and be vigilant,” said Tlali.
