Karien Weyers, onderwyseres by ‘Better Beginnings College’ op Malmesbury het met die idee vorendag gekom. ‘n Projek waarby almal betrokke kon raak, maar wat terselfdertyd jong leerders kon leer oor die belangrikheid van herwinning en hoe om hulle omgewing eko-vriendelik te maak.Hierdie afdak, wat uit 800 plastiek bottels bestaan, gevul met kleurvolle papier, het bykans 6 maande geneem om te voltooi. Karien noem dat daar groot opgewondenheid geheers het. Dit was vanselfsprekend, met die vooruitsig van ‘n beloning aan die klas wat die meeste bottels sou insamel. Hierdie projek word duidelik as baie spesiaal beskou, aangesien die leerders persoonlik ‘n bydra tot dit gelewer het. Dit sou natuurlik ook nie kon geskied sonder die ondersteuning en bemoediging van die ouers en dié wat die struktuur gebou en aanmekaar gesit het. Die Hoof, Elize Weyers, wil graag almal bedank wat ‘n bydrae gemaak het en is baie trots op al die leerders wat so fluks kon saamwerk.
Malmesbury Veiligheid is ‘n inisiatief op hierdie Swartlandse dorp wat omsien na die dorp, sy inwoners en sy landbouers se veiligheid. Dit het in 2019 begin toe ‘n paar boere saamgespan het om veediewe vas te trek. Die gemeenskap het vinnig betrokke geraak en so het die organisasie begin saamspan teen misdaad op die dorp. Gedurende die aanvanklike grendeltydperk is tot 20 patrollies per maand deur die vrywilligers behartig. Malmesbury Veiligheid werk nou saam met die verskeie sekuriteitsmaatskappy asook wetstoepassers van die Swartland om die veiligheid van die inwoners, besighede en landbouers te verseker. Indien jy hier betrokke wil raak, of as lid wil aansluit, registreer aanlyn by www.malmesburyveiligheid.org of stuur ‘n epos aan info@malmesburyveiligheid.org of admin@malmesburyveiligheid.org.
Swartland Joernaal en Vannie Kaap het kragte saamgespan om vir dié koerant se personeel heerlike warm winterhemde te laat maak. Jy kan jou maatskappy ook toerus met jul eie en unieke kwaliteit hemde deur Vannie Kaap. Besoek hul winkel in Smutsstraat 8 op Malmesbury of stuur ‘n epos na malmesbury@vanniekaap.com.

The organization,’NERT’, (National Emergency Response Team) affiliated to the National Department of Social Development, focuses on social as well as gender-based inequality. This team of trained professionals from Gauteng is currently touring the Western Cape, doing workshops and handing out gift packs to various benefactors. Last week, female students from Schoonspruit Secondary in Malmesbury received ‘Care’ packs when this organization paid the school a visit. What made this occasion special, was the fact that one of the members of the ‘NERT’ team, André Macelli, came all the way from Gauteng ‘to pay it forward’ to his alma mater. Originally from the farm, Driefontein, close to Malmesbury, André matriculated from Schoonspruit Secondary in 2001. After studying theology and being involved in ministry since the age of 23, his career path changed when he joined the organization, NICDAM, (National Institute Community Development and Management, based in Centurion (Gauteng). This organization deals with training and development donor funding programs on a national and international level. They develop and do training in different sectors and offer accredited and non-accredited courses as well as capacity building courses. Within the health sector they focus on community healthcare workers and home based care workers with regards to HIV, TB and now also COVID-19. In the social development space they focus on the ‘victim empowerment program’, of which the National Department of Social Development is the custodian. This program deals with victims of crime, human trafficking, sexual exploitation, sexual abuse, as well as child protection, older person abuse, substance abuse and social crime prevention. The victim empowerment program is however the program that they are currently putting a lot of emphasis on and incorporated into this program you will find ‘The National Emergency Response Team’ (NERT). In 2013 the government started a project that covers gender based violence and opened a command centre. This centre operates 24/7 and offers counselling in a professional capacity. People can call them on their helpline, send an sms or can even send a ‘Please Call Me’ if they do not have airtime, and callers can remain completely anonymous. What is amazing about this service though, is the fact that this call centre is based in Pretoria, but they will locate exactly where you are and inform your nearest police station. It is together with the gender based violence command centre (UNiTE), that NERT, provides psycho-social support services which in basic terms means counselling. These counselling sessions are usually done over a period of 3 days and helps with psychological ‘containment’. This is to help and prevent the victim from being consumed by the trauma they went through and to contain the situation. Making sure that the victim is referred to the closest place of safety where they can also receive the help they need. During the presentation huge emphasis was put on the social pressures that our youth faces on a daily basis. That these challenges can often put them in precarious situations, but that they should not allow it to cloud their judgement. That it is okay to say ‘no’ and to always put their safety and wellbeing first. The following numbers are their ‘Hotline’ numbers: Stop GBV Helpline: 0800 150 150 GBV Command Centre: 0800 428 428 Childline SA: 0800 005 555 SAPS: 10111 Mrs. Celeste Arendse, teacher and representative of the support team at Schoonspruit, as well as the principal, Mr. Raynard de Jager, wishes to thank both, NERT and UNiTE, for taking the time to address these students and for the gift packs that they donated.
