THE Miss, Mrs and Mr Richdens pageant was held recently to raise awareness on cyberbullying and to raise funds for Bridging Gaps 2024.

Janine Rowe, the host of the event and a victim of cyberbullying herself, is now raising awareness among young people, women and business owners on how to deal with these issues.

Rowe said the event was a huge success.

“We were able to raise a significant amount of funds to support these important causes,” she said.

Bridging Gaps is an organisation that creates connections and ignites hope in the community.

My name is Sanelisiwe Tsinde, and I'm a mother of two boys and very family-oriented. Being a community journalist for years, I can proudly say I love writing about positive community news articles and giving a voice to the voiceless. Seeing people getting assistance warms my heart. Every day is a different challenge and a new learning opportunity. I supply news for our trusted publication weekly, and a few years ago, Caxton ventured into online publication, so I contribute daily to the websites. I could say I am a multimedia journalist, and working in a community newspaper is beneficial as we do not focus on one thing but we do a bit of everything.
