Once the individual has developed enough experience through the programme, he or she is encouraged to start his/her own busi- ness. Since the programme’s inception, we have seen traders go on to start their own busi- nesses as well as work for large companies.” Raj Maharaj, Lenasia Rising Sun, Branch Manager said, “It is a great honour for us to partner with a reputed organisation like San- zaf, which serves needy and destitute South Africans. The common aim of the two or- ganisations is to uplift the lives of community members for a better tomorrow.” Maharaj added, “The Rising Sun Commu- nity Newspapers in Gauteng together with Sanzaf has the pleasure of launching this new partnership which will kick off in Gauteng and hopefully spread to other provinces over time. The programme was initiated by Sanzaf to eliminate the long queues of destitute people at various cultural organisation centres. Since the inception of the programme, the number of new local entrepreneurs has grown and there has been a noticeable decrease in destitute people waiting for a handout at some centres”. Maharaj concluded, “On behalf of Sanzaf and The Rising Sun Community Newspapers I humbly request our readers to participate in this programme by dropping off their old clothes which are in good condition to the Sanzaf office on Mint Road in Fordsburg, Trade Route, SANZAF offices or at the Ris- ing Sun offices situated at 164 Rose Avenue, Extension 3, Lenasia. I end this note with a Chinese proverb, ‘You give a poor man a fish and you feed him for a day. You teach him to fish and you give him an occupation that will feed him for a lifetime’”. 99 99 99 99 5 Year 1499 each 249 each 149 each 249 each EXPRESS GEYSER Guarantee 2,4 or 6 Panel Door Efekto Hose Pipe Sliding Vitaliser Lawn & BLANKET Door 1.8m FOR R249!
