Fungal infection or nail psoriasis are characterized by thickening, splitting, pitting and discolouration of the nail. 2,3 These conditions may affect toenails or fingernails, but fungal toenail infection are notably more common, whereas psoriasis are more prominent in fingernails. 3,4 Fungal infections are often linked to wearing closed shoes, walking barefoot in bathrooms or showers where the fungi thrive. It is also seen more often in people suffering from diabetes or compromised immunity, while others are prone to fungal infection genetically. 5,6
Fungal nail infection affects the finger and toenails of 2 – 14 % of the adult Western population. It can also affect children and up to 50 % of people over 70 years of age. 5,7
The untreated fungal infection may cause great discomfort and even pain, preventing general activities and work-related tasks such as prolonged standing, writing, or typing. It may even be the cause of falls in the elderly. 4,5,7
Used to treat discoloured and deformed nails resulting from fungal infection or psoriasis BETADINE™ EMTRIX™ Fungal Nail Solution applied to the infected nail once a day for eight weeks, improves nail thickening, discolouration, brittleness, and softness, with noticeable results after the first week of regular treatment. 8

Did you know this about Johannesburg? The city has hosted the finals for the FIFA World Cup, Cricket World Cup and IRB Rugby World Cup: The 2010 FIFA World Cup final was played at FNB Stadium. A large soccer ball was fitted to the Hillbrow Tower during this time. The city also hosted the 2003 Cricket World Cup final (at The Wanderers) and the 1995 IRB Rugby World Cup final (at Ellis Park Stadium). London is the only other city in the world that has hosted all 3 World Cup finals.

The Wilds: Rebirth

The “rebirth” of The Wilds is one of the most heartening community success stories in modern Johannesburg history. It was spearheaded by local artist James Delaney and a dedicated group of volunteers starting around 2013. Delaney began by simply clearing dead wood and trimming overgrown paths on his own, but the project soon evolved into a massive public-private partnership. The most iconic addition to the park during this revival was the installation of over 100 laser-cut steel sculptures of animals. These brightly colored owls, giraffes, antelopes, and monkeys are perched in the trees and tucked behind rocks, turning a walk through the reserve into a scavenger hunt for “industrial wildlife.”

Today, The Wilds is a thriving, safe, and dog-friendly space that hosts yoga classes, art exhibitions, and thousands of visitors every weekend. It has become a symbol of “active citizenship”—the idea that the residents of Johannesburg don’t have to wait for the government to fix their city; they can take ownership of their own neighborhoods. The park is also a critical ecological corridor; in a city that is increasingly paved over, The Wilds provides a habitat for indigenous birdlife and insects that would otherwise struggle to survive in the “concrete jungle.”
