A community project to give back in a small way
Members of the public are urged to donate towards buying the patrollers more reflective wear, torches, air time for EMS calls, tea/ coffee and a hot meal, which they will be serving to them during the day and night.
On Friday, July 16 the community of Muldersdrift pulled together and collected donations for a coffee station for all patrollers and security companies that are keeping their community safe from the recently reported incidents of unrest.
According to the organisers, the community needs some ground support to assist the strong group of community members in Video informal settlement who are patrolling 24 hours a day to protect that section of the community.
The patrollers ensure that there are no protest actions and gatherings while they watch over surrounding farms and roads.
One of the organisers, Shenan Cochrane, urged members of the public to donate towards buying the patrollers more reflective wear, torches, air time for EMS calls, tea/ coffee and a hot meal, which they will be serving to them during the day and night.
“It’s freezing out there, particularly at night. Let’s show our support,” said Shennon.
Donations can be made to Muldersdrift Cares:
• FNB Account 62856259637
• For enquiries please contact Shenan 0835104745
The account and contact numbers for Muldersdrift Cares has been verified for this purpose and the donations will be for a coffee station for all patrollers and security companies working in the area.
“This is not a political drive or should be seen in the light of political interest. If a political party tries to claim any benefit from such, it will be considered dirty.
“This is a purely community-driven project to give back in a small way to say thank you to those who have spent countless hours keeping us as well as our property safe.
“I trust that all members of the community respect the current situation and don’t pull any cards at a time like this. Let’s keep the main thing the main thing. We will get through this,” said Muldersdrift CPF deputy chairperson, Paul Catlett.
