Ackermans supports Use-It Disability Group in Hammarsdale

HCRDA member Use-It has received a generous donation from the Ackermans Ububele Foundation in support of its Disability Group.

Approximately R10,000 was raised to purchase four new wheelchairs, valued at R2,500 each, along with eight parcels of clothing sourced from Ackermans’ stock.

The donation provides practical support to members of the Disability Group, while creating an opportunity for valuable items to be redirected and put to good use in the community.

We commend the Ackermans Ububele Foundation, Mr Sibusiso Ngubane and the Use-It team for making this support possible.

Keystone Park supports women’s wellness brunch

Keystone Park is proud to have supported 30 women to attend the Ntobeko Wellness Fit Club Brunch & Fitness Experience.

The event created an opportunity for women to step away from their everyday responsibilities and prioritise their health, wellness and wellbeing through movement, connection and a morning dedicated to themselves.

It was great to see women come together, participate and enjoy an experience centred around healthier lifestyles and self-care.

Congratulations to all the winners and thank you to everyone who participated and engaged with us. We hope you enjoyed the experience.

Keystone Park supports Crisis Centre relaunch

Today marked an important step forward in strengthening support for victims of gender-based violence in Hammarsdale, with the relaunch of the GBV Victim Crisis Centre at Hammarsdale SAPS.

The Centre provides a safe space where victims of domestic violence and femicide can receive immediate assistance, support and access to relevant services. The importance of this support was reflected by the presence of 80 GBV victims who attended the relaunch.

The day brought together partners, stakeholders and community members for a programme centred on support, encouragement and hope. Attendees enjoyed a delicious lunch, themed cupcakes and various prizes, with women in attendance also having the opportunity to win prizes throughout the programme. Guest speakers shared powerful real-life experiences and messages of encouragement that spoke directly to and inspired those in attendance.

The relaunch was made possible through the collaboration of key stakeholders, with Keystone Park taking a significant role in supporting the refurbishment and equipping of the Centre. This included providing beds and office furniture, painting and cleaning the Centre’s interior and exterior, as well as clothing, infant and adult essentials and educational materials for children.

A special thank you to HCRDA member Hammarsdale Hardware for supplying the paint at below cost price, helping make the refurbishment possible.

The success of this initiative is a reflection of the collective efforts of Hammarsdale SAPS, the Magistrates' Courts, the Department of Social Development and community stakeholders who came together throughout the planning and implementation.

Today’s relaunch is not simply about a refurbished facility. It is about creating a place where victims can access support, dignity and assistance when they need it most.

From theory to the field

The 15 candidates in the Buckman Laboratories Pothole Repair Programme are now taking their learning into the field, putting some of the theory covered during training into practice.

Today also marked an important step as each candidate received their full work uniform and PPE, ensuring they are properly equipped for the practical work ahead.

The team is getting hands-on experience with road repair equipment, including the road saw and tamping rammer, while learning the correct techniques and safety procedures.

From the classroom to the road, the skills are starting to come to life.

Phansi Potholes!

A pothole repair programme supported by HCRDA member Buckman Laboratories has officially kicked off in Hammarsdale. 15 local candidates begin 10 days of training as part of a three-month programme that will equip them with practical skills and experience in road maintenance and pothole repairs.

The journey to this point began with an overwhelming response, with more than 500 CVs received. Following a rigorous shortlisting and selection process, 38 candidates were shortlisted before the final 15 were selected to participate in the programme.

Training is being facilitated by Tjeka Training Matters, a leading construction training provider with extensive experience in skills development and accredited training. Over the next 10 days, candidates will receive a combination of theoretical learning and practical, on-the-ground training.

Once successfully completed, each participant will receive a certificate of completion and accreditation, providing them with recognised skills and experience that can support future employment opportunities.

Following training, the team will be deployed across Hammarsdale and surrounding areas for the remainder of the three-month programme, assisting with closing potholes and improving local roads.

From hundreds of applications to 15 opportunities, this programme is not only about repairing roads, but also about equipping local people with skills, experience and an opportunity to contribute to their community.

Great to see two HCRDA members, Merlog Foods and Use-It, collaborating for a great cause.

Merlog Foods donated their preloved Cold Store uniforms, while Use-It repaired and helped redirect them to Masimbonge Old Age Service Centre, where they will help keep elderly community members warm this winter.

A simple act of collaboration creating a positive impact in our community.

VUMA donates 100 pairs of school shoes

Today, VUMA donated 100 pairs of school shoes to learners at Indlulamithi High School in Hammarsdale, providing much-needed support to young people in the community.

The initiative was driven by VUMA representative Thula Sishi, who identified the need and championed the donation to ensure that learners who need them most are able to attend school with dignity and confidence.

A special word of appreciation also goes to Ward Councillor Bless Majola for endorsing the initiative and encouraging further support from businesses and organisations across the region to assist local schools and learners.

Thank you to VUMA for investing in the future of Hammarsdale's young people. Acts of generosity such as these help remove barriers to education while reminding learners that their community is behind them.
