Local social workers from the Khula Development Group and Valcare held one of their quarterly breakfasts at Ashanti Estate on 3 March. Western Cape MEC for Social Development Sharna Fernandez was guest speaker at the event. She shared her experience as a victim of gender-based violence and mother of a son addicted to crystal meth. Bianca Petersen, spokesperson for Khula, said Fernandez praised social workers for their work in the community. “March is Social Worker Month and her presence at this morning’s event could not have come at a better time.” Pictured here (from left) are Annemie van Reenen, Chief Director: Social Services, Fernandez, Carien van Zyl, principal social worker of Khula Development Group, and Jolanda van der Lingen, Valcare Relationship Manager.
