Jaco Londt, provincial minister of Social Development, launched the fifth programme in Ceres on Monday (2 December). He was joined by various officials from different spheres of government, including Cape Winelands District Municipality (CWDM) executive mayor Dr Elna von Schlicht.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt is through partnerships that the need for local \u2018ambassadors\u2019 was identified. It is through partnerships that we launch this wonderful project on the rural platform today,\u201d Von Schlicht said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI am inspired by these volunteers, who selflessly assist their neighbours when they are at their most frightened and vulnerable. It serves as testimony to the CWDM\u2019s commitment to partnerships that we celebrate today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The event was followed by the launch of the third DSD mobile office in the province, this one is for the Cape Winelands and Overberg region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWith the department\u2019s GBV ambassador programmes, we are working across the province and with communities. It is a resident-centred model that places the resident at the forefront of the solution, working side-by-side with the department, because they know best what their communities need,\u201d Londt added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnd we certainly cannot do it without our partners, like the other government departments, municipalities, NGOs, and the private sector. Thank you for taking hands with us in addressing social ills like domestic violence and abuse.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>To access more information about services offered by
