Mobile outreach brings animal welfare, education to vulnerable communities
Pretoria east-based non-profit organisation Pet Community Outreach is changing lives across the metro by offering much-needed care to animals and education to their owners. The organisation is currently preparing for Mandela Day with plans to launch a brick-making initiative to build a cat café that will also benefit the local community. Founded in 2019 by Lori Erasmus, it operates both as a clinic in Pretoria east and a mobile service that travels to areas such as Laudium, Atteridgeville and Hammanskraal. 'So we are actually a mobile service, as well as having a clinic where we do operations,' said Erasmus. 'Wherever people need us, we go.' The idea for the organisation came from a gap Erasmus saw in veterinary care for poor communities. 'If you look at humans, those who can't afford private doctors go to public clinics. However, for animals, there's no such thing as a community hospital.' The organisation runs on donations and only asks for what people can afford to give. 'We are not funded. I have to phone people myself and ask for help, whether it's one bag of pet food, some syringes or a donation for sterilisation.' Their work extends beyond clinics and includes animal education at schools. The team has visited schools in Pretoria east and Hammanskraal to teach children about animal cruelty, responsible pet care, vaccination, and disease prevention. They also engage the children in creative hands-on activities like making bird feeders out of toilet roll tubes and crafting blankets that are donated back to the shelter. Pet Community Outreach also runs a shelter where they care for over 200 cats rescued from abuse, neglect or abandonment. Erasmus said they try to focus on the positive side of animal welfare and what can be done to improve conditions, instead of dwelling on the cruelty they often witness. In the meantime, they are appealing to the public for help, especially in the form of top-loader washing machines, pet food, blankets, and basic veterinary supplies. 'We're doing the best we can with what we have,' said Erasmus. 'Even the smallest donation helps us make a big difference.' Their impact has also reached people outside of animal care. Catherine Keyworth, who runs the Arcadia City Improvement District, shared how Pet Community Outreach stepped in when they needed them. Keyworth said they assisted them when they found a family living with 27 cats and two dogs in dire conditions. 'I contacted 14 organisations. Lori was the only one who responded,' she said. 'Her team treated, sterilised, and rehomed the animals. They even returned twice to help catch the remaining ones. It made a massive difference.' Do you have more information about the story?

Strength for the weary
The Annual Winter Revival Campaign in Klarinet Ext 8 was a deeply spiritual and transformative gathering where believers came together to strengthen their faith, seek divine restoration, and embrace God's promises. Led by powerful guest speakers – Pastor Shaun Mnguni, Pastor Francois Botes, Pastor Caiphus Mashilane, Mrs P, and Prophet Elijah Qwabe – the event on May 31 ignited a renewed commitment to trusting in God and walking in faith. One of the central themes of the revival was the importance of trusting in God above all else, rather than relying on human wisdom or understanding. Mashilane emphasised that faith is the 'main ingredient' that transforms lives, referencing Proverbs 3:5-8. He encouraged attendees to appreciate even the small blessings, as God has the power to turn 'nothing into something'. The revival reinforced that, with God, no obstacle is too great. Joshua 1:9 was a guiding verse throughout the event, reminding worshipers that when God is on their side, no force can stand against them. Walking with faith was a key takeaway, with speakers urging believers to remain steadfast and speak positivity into their lives. Qwabe delivered a message of peace and restoration, drawing from John 14:27 – 'God's peace surpasses worldly understanding and provides deep comfort to troubled hearts,' he said. The revival encouraged attendees to lay their burdens before God, as highlighted in Matthew 11:28, where God promises strength to the weary. Attendees were reminded that they cannot walk alone – true transformation comes from inviting God into their lives, listening to His command, and embracing the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Isaiah 43:18-19 perfectly captured the essence of the event, illustrating God's ability to bring rivers of abundance into the driest deserts of life. As the revival came to a close, hearts were filled with hope, peace, and a strengthened faith. The Klarinet Ext 8 community left with the firm belief that God's power unlocks possibilities beyond human understanding, and His guidance leads to true spiritual growth.

Support for communal gardens
Communal garden groups from all wards of Umdoni this week received a resource boost from the mayor, Mbali Cele-Luthuli, under the Municipal Communal Garden Support Programme. The 19 benefitting groups received two wheelbarrows, three hoes, three rakes, three grass slashers, five watering cans, two 50kg manure and seedlings among other resources. The mayor said the rationale of this programme is to ensure the alleviation of poverty in various communities. 'This programme further aims to ensure that job opportunities are created,' she said. 'The more we invest and grow these initiatives, the more they yield positive results and have a greater impact to the community.' It was also announced that the municipality will be implementing a tractor programme which will be of great assistance to these agricultural-related projects. Zakhona Khwela from Ward 9 thanked the municipality for the support, and stated that these resources will help grow their communal gardens. The municipality will again call for applications in July to cooperatives that require assistance to submit their applications for consideration.
