Hanyani High School

On Friday last week the SAJBD, in collaboration with the University of Johannesburg (UJ), officially opened the Nga Tshumisano (Let’s Work Together in Tshivenda) a fully equipped education centre with uncapped Wi-Fi, computers (donated by Investec) and resource books (donated by the SA Jewish community).

The school is in the remote Vhemba region and has been adopted by UJ, who has provided the area with solar power, boreholes and a creche. The headmaster, Thifhelimbilu Ndou, thanked the SAJBD, and UJ, saying that the access through a connected computer network would bring the school into the 21st century, allowing access to the internet.

October 7 Square, a powerful memorial space where we could express the day’s meaning and impact through our eyes

On October 6 & 7, the South African Jewish community came together to reflect on the Hamas attack against Israel last year on October 7. Then, Hamas brutally killed, raped, burnt, murdered and kidnapped innocent Israeli civilians, leaving over 1 200 dead.

Our various community organisations united to put together a powerful memorial space, October 7 Square, in which we could express the day’s meaning and impact through our eyes. The exhibition was open to the public from 12h00 to 19h00 and concluded with a vigil from the youth movement. The “square” was well-attended and appreciated by the community.
