Child abuse, recognise the signs

If you suspect a child is being abused-you have a legal obligation to report it to the South African Police Services’ Family Violence, Child Protection and Sexual Offences Unit.

“Failure to do so is a criminal office,” said Teddy Bear Foundation director, Dr Shaheda Omar.

The foundation provides holistic, integrated and comprehensive services to victims of child abuse and their families.

EC contractor creating jobs

A small contractor in the Eastern Cape is building roads and creating jobs in his community.

Mncedisi Twantwa is not only happy that his company is responsible for building a slip road in Msikaba, but also because through the project he has been able to create 32 much-needed jobs.

Twantwa owns Krweba Trading, an SMME contracted to do work on the Msikaba South haul road project near Lusikisiki in the Eastern Cape.

Eastern Cape cracks into macadamia industry

The Eastern Cape has many under-utilised tracts of land under communal tenure but a community-focused agricultural initiative that is supported by all levels of government is showing that land reform can result in greater inclusion, economic growth and job creation.

Thanks to a R40 million cash boost by government into a community-oriented farming initiative, the Eastern Cape is claiming a share of the lucrative macadamia market.

Economics graduate beefs up the KZN cattle sector

Agriculture is an exciting sector filled with career opportunities that are perfect for motivated, skilled and experienced young men and women.

Thabiso Sithole is adamant that farming is a specialised business and not just a job for people with limited options.

The 27-year-old from Nyamvubu obtained degree in economics from the University of KwaZulu-Natal and he has used this knowledge to establish himself as a successful farmer in the province.

"Slangman" and his slithering sidekicks

Snakes are among the most feared and misunderstood of all animals, but a Mpumalanga-born man is determined to change the myth that ‘the only good snake is a dead snake’.

With a pet boa constrictor called Cecilia, it is little wonder Harry Baloyi (34) has earned the nickname “Slangman”.

Baloyi is committed to changing perceptions about snakes and his job at the Bloemfontein Zoo gives him the perfect platform to do so.
