At the handover held on Wednesday, 28 November, Nobuhle Njapha SA Post Office’s communications specialist, said 16 Days of Activism against Gender Violence is about coming together and breaking the cycle of abuse in our society. “Our employees represent the voice of their communities and their concern is currently the prevalence of the abuse of women and children.”

“As an organisation we are extremely proud of the support we continue to receive from our staff. They are exemplars of good corporate citizenship,” added Njapha.

Through the department’s annual charity drive initiative, supported solely by staff contributions, the needs of these children were identified.
During the visit to the school, 95 Grade R learners were given much needed stationery packs, goodie bags, lunch and utensils.

The annual 16 Days of Activism for No Violence against Women and Children is an international campaign, which takes place from Sunday, 25 November to Monday, 10 December. The campaign aims to act against abuse and create awareness of its negative impact on women and children.
