Representatives from the South African National Blood Service with HR officials from Garden Route District Municipality and George Municipality supporting the initiative and contributing to making the day a success.
For the second consecutive year, George Municipality hosted a blood donation awareness campaign in partnership with the Garden Route District Municipality (GRDM). The campaign took place on 16 July at the George Banquet Hall in the lead-up to the international celebration of Mandela Day.
Officials from both municipalities, as well as members of the public, donated blood as their contribution to the 67 Minutes of Service to the Community. The initiative aims to highlight the importance of blood donation and encourage residents to help save lives.
Francois Michaels, HR Officer: Employee Wellness at George Municipality, said that, as with last year, the purpose of the campaign is to give back to the community. “Last year the campaign was a great success, which is why we decided to host it again. Donating blood is one of the simplest ways to make a meaningful difference, and every donation has the potential to save lives.”
Calvin Scheepers, Assistant HR Manager at the Garden Route District Municipality, said the partnership with George Municipality was renewed because the need for blood is constant. “The need for blood never stops, which is why we were pleased to partner with George Municipality once again. Every unit of blood donated has the potential to save lives, and the excellent support we received last year inspired us to repeat the campaign.”
This year 45 donors turned up to donate blood despite the cold winter weather, making a valuable contribution to the community. Upon arrival, donors were treated to a warm cup of coffee. As part of the South African National Blood Service (SANBS) Bring a Buddy campaign, existing blood donors who brought along a first-time donor were also surprised with a reusable electric hot water bottle.
The attendance and support for blood donations this year have been excellent, and we are sincerely grateful to all the donors from various sectors who came forward to make their valuable contribution,” added Michaels
George Municipality and the Garden Route District Municipality thank every donor for their generosity and willingness to help save lives.

George Munisipaliteit is tans besig met padskraap- en instandhoudingswerk in Uniondale.
Daar is opgemerk dat kinders voor en agter die padskraper hardloop terwyl dit in werking is. Dit is uiters gevaarlik en stel hul lewens in ernstige gevaar.
Ouers en voogde word dringend versoek om met hul kinders te praat en te verseker dat hulle te alle tye ‘n veilige afstand van alle padwerktoerusting hou. Alhoewel die operateur van die padskraper voortdurend waaksaam is, veroorsaak die grootte van die masjien blindekolle, wat beteken dat dit nie moontlik is om te alle tye alles rondom die voertuig te sien nie.
Die veiligheid van ons gemeenskap is ‘n gedeelde verantwoordelikheid. Help ons asseblief om ‘n tragedie te voorkom deur seker te maak dat kinders nie padwerkmasjinerie nader of agtervolg terwyl werk aan die gang is nie.

Children Asked to Keep Clear of Road Grader Operations
George Municipality is currently carrying out road scraping and maintenance work in Uniondale.
It has been observed that children are running in front of and behind the road grader while it is operating. This is extremely dangerous and places their lives at serious risk.
Parents and guardians are urgently requested to speak to their children and ensure they keep well away from all road maintenance equipment. Although the grader operator remains vigilant at all times, the size of the machine creates blind spots, making it impossible to see in every direction continuously.
The safety of our community is a shared responsibility. Please help us prevent a tragedy by ensuring children do not approach or follow road construction and maintenance vehicles while work is in progress.

The George Night Shelter recently received a donation of R10,000 from the Ward 18 Committee allocation fund. The funds were used to purchase 13 stainless steel cooking pots, which will make a contribution to the daily preparation of meals for the many homeless people supported by the shelter. Ward Councillor Donovan Gultig was present to officially hand over the donation to the George Night Shelter.
“It is truly an honour to be part of a Municipality that supports its community and makes a positive difference in the lives of people experiencing homelessness,” said Councillor D Gultig. The George Night Shelter expressed its sincere gratitude and appreciation to the George Municipality for this generous and thoughtful donation.
George Municipality remains committed to supporting projects that make a tangible difference in the lives of the people in our communities.
Every great adventure starts somewhere. Sometimes it’s with a paper map spread across the kitchen table. Sometimes it’s with someone saying, “Let’s take the long way today.”
Drive over the mountain to Herold. Wander the streets of Uniondale. Enjoy a beach walk in Wilderness or discover a new corner of George. Stop at a farm stall, order dessert, and take in the view. There’s no rush.

How can people keep themselves safe and protected on the beach and in the water?
•Learning to swim is the best defence against drowning. Teach children to swim at an early age. Children who are not taught when they are very young tend to avoid swim instruction as they age, probably due to embarrassment. Swimming instruction is a crucial step in protecting children from injury or death.
•Do not swim while under the influence of Alcohol or heavy sedation medication.
•Swim with a buddy. Many drownings involve single swimmers. When you swim with a buddy if one of you has a problem the other may be able to help, including signalling for assistance from others. At least have someone onshore watching you.
* Use sunscreen and drink water: Everyone loves a sunny day, but exposure to the sun affects your body. Without sunscreen, you can be seriously burned. The sun’s rays can also cause life-long skin damage and skin cancer. To protect yourself always choose “broad spectrum” sunscreen rated from 15 to 50 SPF, or clothing that covers your skin, and reapply sunscreen regularly throughout the day. The sun can also dehydrate you quickly. Drink lots of water and avoid alcohol, which contributes to dehydration.
* Keep the Beach and Water Clean. Nobody likes to see the beach or water littered with trash. Even in places where beach cleaning services pick up trash daily, it may linger on the beach for hours, causing an unsightly mess and threatening the health of birds and animals. Broken glass also poses a great risk of injury to beach users. Do your part. Pick up after yourself and even others. Everyone will appreciate you for it.
* Learn Rip Current Safety. 80% of rescues at ocean beaches are caused by rip currents. These currents are formed by surf and gravity because once surf pushes water up the slope of the beach, gravity pulls it back. This can create concentrated rivers of water moving offshore. Some people mistakenly call this an undertow, but there is no undercurrent, just an offshore current. If you are caught in a rip current, don’t fight it by trying to swim directly to shore. Instead, swim parallel to shore until you feel the current relax, then swim to shore. Most rip currents are narrow and a short swim parallel to shore will bring you to safety.
* Enter Water Feet First. Serious, lifelong injuries, including paraplegia, occur every year due to diving headfirst into unknown water and striking the bottom. Bodysurfing can result in a serious neck injury when the swimmer’s neck strikes the bottom. Check for depth and obstructions before diving, then go in feet first the first time; and use caution while bodysurfing, always extending a hand ahead of you. Be careful even at the swimming pool.
* Wear a Life Jacket when on Watercrafts. Some 80% of fatalities associated with boating accidents are from drowning. Most involve people who never expected to end up in the water but fell overboard or ended up in the water when the boat sank. Children are particularly at risk and should wear life jackets whenever they are aboard boats.

George jobseekers can now access free bus travel to pursue employment opportunities
The Western Cape Government’s Jobseeker Travel Voucher Programme has officially been expanded to George, providing unemployed residents with free public transport to help them access job interviews and other employment-related opportunities.
The programme, which has successfully supported thousands of jobseekers in the Cape Metro over the past two years, is now being rolled out in George through a partnership between the Western Cape Mobility Department, GO GEORGE Bus Service and George Municipality.
Although formal launch events previously planned for George had to be postponed due to severe weather conditions, the programme is already available and residents can begin registering immediately.
A community launch and registration drive will take place on 25 and 26 June 2026 to formally introduce the programme to residents and provide assistance with registration.
The Jobseeker Travel Voucher Programme aims to reduce one of the biggest barriers facing unemployed residents – the cost of transport when searching for work. Encouragingly, several George residents have already begun registering for the programme following initial communication about the rollout, demonstrating the demand for support that helps jobseekers access opportunities.
Eligible jobseekers who register for the programme receive a GO GEORGE smart card pre-loaded with six free bus trips that can be used on GO GEORGE routes between 09:00 and 15:00 on weekdays. The voucher can be used for travel to job interviews, and employment-related appointments that support job seeking.
Western Cape Mobility Minister Isaac Sileku, said the expansion of the programme to George demonstrates the province’s commitment to helping residents access opportunities. ” A jobseeker should be able to go to an interview without worrying about transport costs, attend training or skills assessments without extra pressure on their household budget, and take up opportunities knowing transport will not stand in their way.
Through the expansion of this initiative, we are helping unemployed residents access interviews, training opportunities and other employment-related activities. We encourage all eligible residents to register and make use of this support as they pursue opportunities to improve their lives and support their families,” said Minister Sileku.
Director for Land Transport Safety Projects, Melvin Arendse, who leads the Jobseeker Travel Voucher Programme, said the initiative has already shown positive results in other parts of the province, “We have seen the difference that access to affordable transport can make for jobseekers. By removing some of the financial burden associated with travelling to interviews and employment opportunities, we are helping people stay active in their job search. We encourage unemployed residents in George to register and make full use of the six free trips available through the programme.”
How to register
Unemployed residents can register online on the portal:
https://gettingyoutowork.westerncape.gov.za/
Applicants should:
* Select “Jobseeker Registration” on the portal.
* Select “GO GEORGE” as their transport provider.
* Complete the registration process by following the prompts.
Once registration is complete, applicants will receive an SMS confirming their registration.
They can then visit a Smart Card kiosk with their South African ID to collect their card. The card will be pre-loaded with the Jobseeker Travel Voucher, providing six free trips on GO GEORGE bus routes.
The Western Cape Government, GO GEORGE and George Municipality encourage unemployed residents in George to register and make use of the programme to access employment opportunities and support their job-seeking journey.

Participants, facilitators and municipal staff gathered for a group photo following the waste separation and recycling awareness training session.
The George Municipality’s Waste Management and Pollution Control Department, in partnership with Henque Waste, recently conducted an awareness and training session for office caretakers and cleaners on the importance of separating waste at source and promoting recycling in the workplace.
“As a department, we continuously encourage residents to separate waste at source by keeping recyclable and non-recyclable materials apart. However, true change starts with us. Change begins at home, and we must lead by example in our own workplaces,” said Nombuyiselo Majola, Manager: Solid Waste and Infrastructure.
Municipal offices are encouraged to implement waste separation practices by providing clearly marked recycling stations and ensuring that recyclable materials such as paper, cardboard, plastic, cans and glass are kept separate from general waste.
By working together, municipal staff can help reduce the amount of waste sent to landfill, improve recycling rates, create cleaner workplaces, and contribute to a more sustainable future for the George community.
Examples of recyclable materials displayed during the training session to demonstrate correct waste separation practices.
