Africa-Press – Lesotho. <\/strong><\/span>Drowning is one of the social challenges that has bedevilled many communities in the country. Elsewhere, drowning is defined as \u201cthe process of respiratory impairment as a result of<\/p>\n

submersion in a liquid medium\u201d. The World Health Organisation (WHO) notes that drowning is the third leading cause of unintentional injury death across the<\/p>\n

world; it accounts for seven percent of injury-related deaths. It further estimates that there are about 320 000 reported deaths annually in the world resulting from drowning.<\/p>\n

Despite that drowning may occur every time, it usually occurs during the summer seasons where there are lots of rains. Drowning peaks as people visit dams and rivers<\/p>\n

for swimming, especially young people. Notably, during the festive and in the beginning months of the year, there are many incidents of drowning reported about people who are believed to be crossing to<\/p>\n

the neighbouring South Africa in search for better economic prospects. Small children on the other hand fall prey to drowning in uncovered ditches at the villages.<\/p>\n

According to the International Life Saving Federation, one of the survival techniques within the aquatic environment is that of person survival, which is the ability<\/p>\n

to \u201chelp oneself from trouble in the water without the help of others, or being able to keep from drowning while awaiting help\u201d. It goes on to say, the<\/p>\n

personal surviving skills are: orientating oneself underwater, surviving floating which include Heat Escape Lessening Position (HELP) and the ability to<\/p>\n

tread water and sculling. Given that a search can go for hours and even last for days, the Royal Lesotho Lifesaving Association (RLLA) has set out to save the drowning victims in dams<\/p>\n

and rivers in the country. The members of this association scour riverbanks and dams to recover the bodies which have drowned in waters. The Informative<\/p>\n

Newspaper had recently had an interview with the association\u2019s Chief Instructor and Senior Examiner Motlatsi Mokola. He said a lifesaver should be able to \u201cidentify someone who is drowning and someone who is faking it\u201d in the<\/p>\n

course of discharging their duties. \u201cDrowning is normally silent and a lot of casualties quickly get tired so one has to have a quick reaction time,\u201d he<\/p>\n

said. He further highlighted that for one to become a lifesaver they ought to undergo the lifesaving trainings that are conducted by qualified instructors,<\/p>\n

also they should pass their exams at the completion of their training. The Senior Examiner also noted that \u201cthey should have better understanding of the<\/p>\n

dangers of water and they should know how to perform CPR [Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation]\u201d. He said people should learn how to swim. Mokola also mentioned other drowning<\/p>\n

prevention techniques as: to avoid swimming alone, swimming at places supervised and patrolled by lifeguards, swimming within one\u2019s capability and avoiding swimming under the influence of alcohol.<\/p>\n

He went on to stress that, \u201cparents should always supervise their children at any time they are within the aquatic area\u201d. \u201cIn short, people should learn how to<\/p>\n

prevent drowning by making sure that danger zones are spotted and patrons are aware if the casualty gets in danger. They must be able to recognise casualties<\/p>\n

in distress. \u201cThey should be able to provide floatation for the victim then remove it from the water only if its save to do so, lastly they should provide after care and also<\/p>\n

advised to seek medical attention,\u201d Mokola advised taking stock of the knowledge gap identified in some of the places which has water and could be potential drowning spots.<\/p>\n

Asked what factors could lead to loss of life during drowning, he said there are numbers of those. They are: shock, cardiac arrest, injuries, not being able to<\/p>\n

swim, panic in the water, unattended baths (beaches or swimming pools), unattended children, concussion, seizures, or heart attacks. \u201cI suggest people should not go there but if it happens I suggest they throw a<\/p>\n

floating object to the victims for them to grab and encourage them to kick their legs so that they can move to the shore or wall if it in the pool. Or<\/p>\n

bystanders can throw the rope to the victim then once he grabs it they would pull him out. But with my honest opinion if it\u2019s the ocean and there are no<\/p>\n

lifeguards please don\u2019t swim,\u201d this he said reflecting on the questions posted to the effect that a person has drowned and there are no lifeguards and no one<\/p>\n

with swimming skills. Also the Youth Representative in the Executive Committee of the RLLA, Mokola said their latest attempt had proven the hardest as they did not succeed in the operation<\/p>\n

despite covering a distance of around 20 km in search of a body said to have drowned in Lit\u0161oeneng river in the Mafeteng district. He said him and four others went on a body recovery mission<\/p>\n

to assist recover the body of a boy who drowned last week Monday, the 18th. Despite arriving late in the afternoon, he mentioned that they searched for<\/p>\n

about an hour and then continued the next day. \u201cSo we started earlier on Wednesday and the river flow was at another level so we started surfing from the highest flow of the river and what we observed was<\/p>\n

that the river currents were taking us from the highest pressure to the lower pressure of water which was towards the left side of the river and that\u2019s where<\/p>\n

we had to focus on and then the deep and shallow search started. We searched for a distance between 18km to 20km without luck then we concluded with my team that looking at the pressure<\/p>\n

of the water the body is not anyhow nearer then we aborted the mission and went to the family members and explained to them about our observations because we<\/p>\n

didn\u2019t leave any place unattended and we think the body is at the other side which is South Africa and we advise them to find means of communicating to the<\/p>\n

people that side who might be near the Caledon river. \u201c[We] left Mafeteng with broken hearts because our mission failed but later on Thursday we received a call from the family that the body was found towards Wepener<\/p>\n

which has been the place we have been talking about that the next search should start there in case they get other people with better equipment than us,\u201d this<\/p>\n

Mokola said reflecting on their mission which they recently carried out. Although they did not recover the body, he expressed gratitude that they were able to<\/p>\n

help in the search of the victim adding that they are \u201cthankful that they finally found the body\u201d. This is the third recovery mission that RLLA had undertaken.<\/p>\n

However there are many others which the members of this association had embarked on individually. He said they are vying to join forces with the Lesotho Defence Force (LDF) and are<\/p>\n

still in talks for that envisioned collaboration. Talking of the future of their association he said, they want to take \u201cthe lead in drowning prevention\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are appealing to everyone who has some means of helping us to come. Our<\/p>\n

doors are open, besides drowning affects us all so everyone is welcome to join us,\u201d he appealed. The RLLA was established in 2004 by the Lesotho Durham Link. The association also offers trainings to prospective lifesavers who want to acquire drowning recovery skills.<\/p>\n
