Picture by Azola Maliti
DATE : 25 NOVEMBER 2010 at OR TAMBO HALL, KHAYELITSHA IN W.CAPE
This has been a great successful event, the whole community stood up as a one society saying no to drugs and substance abuse, also on Foetal Alcohol Syndrome, especial among youth.
They were saying no to Rape and brutal killings of women, defenceless grannies, people with disabilities and young children and also human trafficking. They also fight against not coping with the burden of HIV /Aids leading to suicide and killing of partners and violet crime.
It was great to see political parties united as one supporting their communities even though Mr Jacob Zuma and Helen Zille were not present. ANC, DA, NAPWA, HOME AFFAIRS, CHILD LINE and other NGO’s stood together and shouted with one voice; “DON’T LOOK AWAY, ACT AGAINST ABUSE”
There was also HIV/Aids test clinics, while Home Affairs were helping people with Identities and some got free t-shirts with flyers detailing contact details of programs and associations that could help.
This is how we should work as a province to protect our sisters, brothers and our parents, families together with our communities, so we started it here and you???
Safety is better than sorry, Don’t say i will…! Don’t look away, tell it like it is.
