Cedar Lakes Lifestyle Estate hosts annual Domestic Workers Forum

Cedar Lakes Lifestyle Estate hosted its annual Domestic Workers Forum to educate, uplift, and empower residents’ employees with practical information on safety, emergencies, and where to go for support, both on the estate and in their personal lives.

The event was attended by various stakeholders, including the police. Aneska Price, the estate’s communications officer, said, “The police and other organisations provide real, on-the-ground guidance, covering topics such as crime prevention, emergency preparedness, and where to find help for family challenges, including physical or substance abuse issues.

“One of the most encouraging outcomes is the growing number of helpers attending the forum each year. This increase is largely due to the helpful information shared during the event, which participants then pass on to others in their networks.”

Buthelezi added that the forum has become a powerful platform for knowledge-sharing and community support, and its impact continues to grow with each edition.
