Sub-council rewards community work

Awards were presented on Wednesday, June 4, at Woodlands Community Hall to community leaders, non-profits, and volunteers across various wards for their outstanding service.

In Samora Machel, Ward 33 councillor Lungisa Somdaka, presented the award to the Ikamva Peace Makers for creating safer schools and stamping out gang activity.

Ubuntu Bethu Soup Kitchen was also recognised for its daily commitment to feeding the hungry, while Weltevreden Educare Forum earned praise for empowering youth through education, mentorship, and mental health support.

In Ward 75, the spotlight was on the Mitchell's Plain Music Academy - a cultural gem offering affordable music education to hundreds of aspiring artists.

Principal Trevino Isaacs said he is grateful for the recognition.
