Rainbow P1 Added Value Takes a Stand Against GBV

HCRDA member Rainbow Chicken’s P1 Added Value employees came together on 9 October 2026 for a Gender-Based Violence (GBV) Awareness Drive under the message “Enough Is Enough - We Stand Against GBV.”

The session, led by South African Police Service (SAPS) representatives, focused on raising awareness and encouraging action against GBV. Bishop S. Shange also shared a prayer, encouraging unity, peace and the protection of life.

A key moment was the GBV pledge, where employees signed to affirm their commitment to standing against violence and promoting a culture of respect and accountability.

The initiative reinforced the role everyone has to play in challenging abuse, supporting survivors and protecting the dignity and safety of others.

Thanks to SAPS, Bishop S. Shange, Rainbow Chicken leadership, the Champs team and all employees who participated in the awareness drive.

Enough is enough. Together, we stand against GBV.

HCRDA wishes the matric class of 2026 good luck

As the Matric Class of 2026 begins their final examinations, HCRDA wishes every learner the very best.

You have worked hard to reach this milestone. As you enter the examination room, trust your preparation, believe in yourself and take each paper one step at a time. Stay focused, remain calm and remember that one difficult exam does not define your future.

Matric is an important step towards further education, skills development and employment opportunities. Give it your best, be proud of how far you have come and keep believing in what lies ahead.

To the parents, guardians and teachers supporting these learners, thank you for being part of their journey.

Good luck, Class of 2026. Finish strong!

Road repairs underway along the MR385

HCRDA is focusing on some of the worst potholes along the MR385 this week, with repair work aimed at improving road conditions and making the route safer for motorists.

The work forms part of efforts to address problem areas on local roads that affect daily commuters, businesses and other road users. Motorists are urged to drive carefully, reduce speed where necessary and remain alert when approaching sections where repairs are taking place.

Further rehabilitation from the D816 towards the mall is still to be confirmed, although additional work along this stretch is being considered.

HCRDA thanks its members for their support in addressing local infrastructure challenges and helping improve road conditions for the wider community.

Dromex Globale wins big

HCRDA member Dromex Globale has received the Innovation & New Product Award at Electra Mining Africa 2026 for its new Voice Amplification Device for respiratory masks.

Developed to address communication challenges in noisy and hazardous working environments, the device allows workers to communicate more clearly while wearing respiratory masks, reducing the need to lift masks to be heard. This supports safer working practices and improved compliance with protective equipment requirements.

The achievement highlights the innovation and problem-solving taking place within the local industrial sector, with Dromex Globale developing a practical solution to a challenge faced by workers on the ground.

It is encouraging to see this level of innovation coming from a company at Keystone Park, demonstrating how local businesses are developing solutions that respond to real industry needs.

Congratulations to Dromex Globale on this recognition at Electra Mining Africa 2026.

Road safety starts with all of us

Recent accidents in the Cato Ridge area, including a tragic crash that claimed the lives of 10 people and another collision today involving a vehicle transporting primary school children and a truck, are a painful reminder of how important road safety is and the responsibility we all carry.

For motorists and pedestrians, every journey comes with a responsibility to make safe and considerate choices.

Motorists are encouraged to avoid unnecessary risks, be patient, remain alert and courteous, and always abide by the rules of the road. Vehicles should be roadworthy, speeds should be appropriate for the conditions, and decisions behind the wheel should never put other road users at unnecessary risk.

Pedestrians are also encouraged to remain vigilant, use designated crossing points where available and take care when navigating busy roads.

HCRDA extends its sincere condolences to the families who have lost loved ones and its thoughts to all those affected by these recent accidents.

R150,000+ investment in Hammarsdale science education

HCRDA member Buckman Laboratories has continued its support for science education in Hammarsdale with the handover of science apparatus to 10 local high schools today.

Hosted at the Isibukosezwe High School laboratory, the handover builds on the Science Demonstration Workshop held during the school winter holidays at Kloof High School. There, local Physical Sciences teachers were given an opportunity to learn and safely perform experiments including Boyle’s Law, the Heating and Cooling Curve of Water, Acids and Bases, and Acceleration/Verification of Newton’s Second Law.

Each of the 10 schools has now received the necessary equipment to perform these experiments at their schools.

This R150,000+ investment takes practical science learning into the classroom. It supports learners not only to understand these concepts in theory, but also to see and perform the experiments themselves, cementing their understanding.

We recorded videos of Dr Juggernath of Kloof High School, who facilitated the demonstrations, performing each experiment. These have been uploaded to YouTube and are available to teachers and learners as a resource to recap the experiments and support continued learning beyond the workshop.

The handover marks another step in strengthening practical science education across Hammarsdale schools and ensuring that the training provided during the workshop can continue to be applied at school level.

Thank you to Buckman Laboratories for continuing to invest in practical science education and supporting teachers and learners across Hammarsdale.
