  • A Journey for the Animals – Leon Bester’s Visit to Paws Haven

    A Mission on Two Wheels This past Saturday, Paws Haven had the privilege of welcoming Leon Bester, a man on a remarkable journey. Leon is cycling from town to town with a powerful mission, to raise awareness about animal abuse and to give a voice to those who cannot speak for themselves. His campaign, A Journey for the Animals , is more than just a physical challenge; it is a heartfelt stand for kindness, compassion, and justice for vulnerable animals. Leon’s arrival brought excitement and gratitude, as his journey embodies the very values that Paws Haven works for every day, love, rescue, and protection for animals in need. Experiencing Shelter Life First-Hand On Sunday, Leon went beyond just a visit. He chose to spend the night in one of the kennels, immersing himself in the daily reality of shelter life. By doing so, he gained a deeper understanding of the challenges animals face while waiting for homes. But Leon didn’t stop there. Rolling up his sleeves, he joined the Paws Haven team in their daily routine. He fed the cats and dogs, cleaned enclosures, and gave his time and affection to the animals. From carefully placing food bowls for the cats to cleaning kennels alongside playful and curious dogs, Leon’s compassion shone through every action. The images captured during his visit tell the story of a man who not only talks about change but actively lives it, whether it was scrubbing down the kennels, sitting on the floor to comfort a shy cat, or laughing with a dog eager for attention. Continuing the Journey By Monday morning, Leon was back on his bicycle, ready to continue his journey to the next shelter. His time at Paws Haven was short, but his dedication left a lasting mark on the hearts of both the animals and the humans who care for them. Leon’s courage and commitment remind us that every act of compassion matters. Through his journey, he not only spreads awareness about animal abuse but also inspires communities to take action. Gratitude and Hope Paws Haven extends its deepest gratitude and respect to Leon Bester, for his cause, his kindness, and for choosing to stop and serve alongside us. His visit was a reminder that together, we are stronger in the fight against cruelty, abandonment, and neglect. Thank you, Leon, for giving your voice, time, and heart to the animals. May your journey continue to inspire hope and bring change to shelters and animals across the country.

  • PAWS: Celebrating Success & Meeting the Ones Still Waiting

    September thus far has been a month of joy and relief at PAWS Haven, with many animals finding the homes and families they deserve. These success stories remind us why fostering and adoption are so important: they change lives, both for the pets and the people who welcome them. 😺 Reunited:  A sterilized Russian Blue male cat, found in Baillie Park without a microchip, has been joyfully re-claimed by his owner. 🐾 Adoption Joy:  Two juvenile cats now have a forever home thanks to Eddie and his son, who opened their hearts and home. 🐾 Tabby Adoption:  A gorgeous and friendly male Tabby has been adopted by Franco, ready for a life full of care and affection. 🐾 Siamese Adoption:  A sweet Siamese male found his loving forever home with Chelaine. 🐾 Foster to Adopt:  Two little fur-babies are thriving in their foster home with Wilbert and Gizelle, with hopes of a permanent adoption. 🐾 Gentle Soul Adoption:  A stunning foster boy, known for strutting like he’s on the catwalk, was adopted by Ciska, where he now joins a family of furry siblings. 🐾 Black Beauty Adoption:  One of three black kittens found his forever home with Nadine, his perfect match. 🐾 Container Rescue:  A 4-month-old girl once dumped in a container has already found a safe, loving home with Elmereé and Andrea. Fostering also made a major difference: abandoned kittens, often stressed and vulnerable in shelter environments, were taken in by Heleen. Within hours, their transformation from fear to relaxation showed the powerful impact of a caring foster home. These successes prove that every act of kindness , whether adoption or fostering , gives animals the chance at life and love they so deeply deserve. Still Waiting for Love While we celebrate these happy endings, many animals remain in need of homes, either permanent or foster. Each one is unique, but all are waiting for someone to open their heart. Doepie 💙 Meet Doepie, a handsome Lab-Collie cross . Playful, loyal, and full of love, Doepie would be the perfect companion for an active family who enjoys both adventures and cuddle time. He waits patiently at PAWS Haven for his forever home. Three Kittens 😻😻😻 These three fur-babies are around 10 weeks old, already eating on their own and potty-trained. They are calm-natured, friendly, playful, and loving. Perfect for a family looking for joyful, affectionate companions. Lost Pets – Hoping for a Reunion 🚨🐾 Two dogs were recently found wandering in Kanonierspark  and brought safely to PAWS Haven. If they belong to you, please contact the shelter immediately to bring them home. ⚠️ Disclaimer: By the time of publishing, these pets may already have been reclaimed by their owners. Urgent – Cats in Crisis 😿 In just the past month, over 90 cats and kittens  were surrendered or dumped at PAWS Haven. Each one requires feeding, medical care, housing, and love, but more importantly, they deserve safety and dignity. This heartbreaking surge shows just how vital fostering and adoption are. Every foster family helps reduce overcrowding and saves lives. Final Word Every success story shows what can be achieved when compassion leads the way. But many animals are still waiting, from energetic dogs like Doepie to tiny kittens in need of safe homes. Fostering gives them a chance to grow and heal, while adoption provides the forever family they long for. ⚠️ Please note: Some of the pets listed as available may already have been fostered or adopted by the time of this article’s release. 🐾 Could you be the one to write the next happy ending? Visit PAWS Haven today, a loving friend may be waiting just for you. 🏡💖 All image credits to: Paws Haven Potchefstroom 🐶🐱💙🌸🏡 #TheGoToGuy #potchefstroom #AdoptDontShop #ForeverHome #PAWSHaven #RescueAnimals #AdoptMe

  • TRACTOR Awareness Rally Concludes in Bredasdorp, Leaving a Legacy of Care and Connection

    A Journey that Touched Every Town Along the Way On Friday, 12 September 2025, the NWU TRACTOR Awareness Rally (Together Rallying Across Communities To Overcome Remembrance-loss) completed its 1,900km journey from Potchefstroom to Bredasdorp. What began as an idea to raise awareness about dementia and Alzheimer’s grew into a moving caravan of hope, empathy, and shared purpose. Along the way, communities opened their doors and hearts, welcoming the rally with stories, support, and solidarity. The rally’s final day was marked by gratitude. Yesterday in Robertson, participants were inspired by the spirit of generosity, thanks to the support of Sanne-Marie van den Berg and Route 62 Mall. Today, as the tractor rolled into Bredasdorp, the campaign closed not with an ending, but with the promise of ongoing impact and continued storytelling. 🌱 From Potchefstroom to Bredasdorp: A Route of Remembrance The rally spanned two provinces and touched countless lives across towns such as Kimberley, Hopetown, Britstown, Carnarvon, Williston, Calvinia, Clanwilliam, Citrusdal, Tulbagh, Robertson, and finally Bredasdorp. At each stop, the tractor was more than a machine—it was a moving symbol of resilience and remembrance. Every kilometre carried the weight of families’ stories and the determination of caregivers. Communities were reminded that dementia and Alzheimer’s are not solitary struggles but shared realities that demand awareness, empathy, and support. ❤️ Community Engagement in Action One of the strongest hallmarks of the rally was its deep community engagement. At every town, the programme included: Talks by healthcare professionals and caregivers  providing knowledge and guidance. Storytelling sessions and support groups  where families could share lived experiences. Student volunteers  contributing through service-learning projects and outreach. Researchers  documenting and studying the rally’s social impact. Partnerships with local schools, businesses, and volunteers  ensuring sustainability. These activities reinforced the campaign’s mission of reducing stigma, supporting caregivers, and fostering empathy. Each hug shared, each story told, and each moment of listening became part of a collective memory that transcended statistics and medical facts. 🎨 The Symbolism of the Tractor The tractor itself became a cultural and emotional centrepiece. Decorated by local artists, it carried not only colour and creativity but also symbolic meaning, slow, steady, and resilient, just like the caregivers it represented. Miniature tractors were distributed as tokens of remembrance, tangible reminders for families and communities that they are not alone in their journeys. The tractor’s symbolic role underscored the power of simple imagery to communicate profound truths about patience, persistence, and memory. 📲 Amplifying Voices Through Media and Partnerships The TRACTOR Awareness Rally embraced digital tools to extend its reach far beyond the towns on its route. Daily updates, photographs, and videos captured the energy of the journey. These were shared widely across social media using the hashtag #TRACTORforMemory , creating a digital community of followers united by empathy and care. The YouTube playlist continues to host stories and reflections from the road, offering a lasting archive of the journey’s impact. Supporters can revisit each day’s milestones here: TRACTOR Rally Videos . Funding and sponsorships from local businesses, organisations, and individual volunteers also played a crucial role. Their “in kind” contributions, from safety support to vouchers, reflected a shared understanding that awareness campaigns succeed when whole communities take ownership. 📊 Research, Education, and Social Responsibility The campaign was more than a public awareness event, it was also a learning platform. Coordinated by NWU’s Faculty of Health Sciences, the rally merged academic research with real-world engagement. Researchers documented the experiences of families and caregivers, adding to the body of knowledge on dementia care in South Africa. Students gained practical service-learning experience, deepening their understanding of social responsibility. This integration of research, education, and action demonstrated NWU’s commitment to academic impact that extends beyond the university into society. 🌟 More Than Awareness: A Lasting Movement As the rally concluded in Bredasdorp, project initiator Esmé Marks reflected on the meaning of the journey. While the tractor reached its final destination, the campaign’s mission does not stop here. More stories will continue to be shared, more awareness will be raised, and more families will be connected through the networks forged during this journey. The campaign objectives, reducing stigma, supporting caregivers, fostering empathy through storytelling, and collaborating nationally and internationally, remain ongoing goals. The rally was a spark, and the flame it lit now belongs to all the communities it touched. 🚜 A Legacy of Love and Dignity From Potchefstroom to Bredasdorp, the TRACTOR Awareness Rally created a chain of connections across South Africa. It carried with it the voices of caregivers, the laughter of students, the knowledge of researchers, and the open hearts of communities. Every kilometre travelled was a reminder that even when memories fade, love endures. The legacy of this journey is not measured in distance but in the dignity restored, the empathy fostered, and the hope carried forward. As the tractor comes to rest in Bredasdorp, its engine may fall silent, but its message will continue to echo: together, we can remember, support, and care. 💜 All image credits to : NWU 🚜💜👵🤝 #TheGoToGuy #potchefstroom #TRACTORforMemory #DementiaAwareness #AlzheimersSupport #CommunityForCare #JourneyOfHope

  • NWU and Potchefstroom Hospital Drive Patient Safety Forward with Research Seminar

    On 10 September, the North-West University (NWU) partnered with Potchefstroom Hospital to host a Patient Safety Research Seminar at the hospital’s Residence Hall. The event highlighted innovative strategies and research projects aimed at strengthening healthcare delivery, improving patient safety, and fostering a culture of learning among healthcare professionals. Image: NWU Sharing Knowledge for Safer Healthcare The seminar showcased recent patient safety projects carried out at Potchefstroom Hospital, with discussions focusing on incident reporting systems, organisational culture, responses to medical errors, and strategies for delivering safer, higher-quality care. Drawing on international best practices, the event featured input from the Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI) and the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI), bringing global insights into local healthcare challenges. Dr Sabelile Tenza, from the NWU School of Nursing, spearheaded the seminar. She underscored the milestone as a turning point in strengthening collaboration across the healthcare sector. Presentations Focused on Patient-Centred Excellence The keynote address was delivered by Dr Petronella Lunda, also from the NWU School of Nursing, under the theme “Safe care for achieving best experiences of care.”  She stressed that patient safety underpins dignity, trust, and excellence in healthcare. Dr Tenza expanded on the concept of patient safety culture, identifying leader response to errors, staff support, provider empowerment, freedom to innovate, and teamwork as essential ingredients for improvement. Adding to the discussions, Sibongile Dlaba, a master’s student at NWU, highlighted the benefits of implementing national patient safety incident reporting and learning guidelines, noting how they foster accountability and strengthen reporting culture. Contributions also came from: Natasha Musundire , CHAI – insights on reported patient safety incidents in the national database. Dr Maureen Tshabalala , IHI – opportunities and approaches for healthcare quality improvement. Sr Jonette Potgieter , Potchefstroom Hospital – perspectives on safety policies and quality assurance within the facility. Empowering Healthcare Professionals The seminar promoted an environment of continuous learning, equipping healthcare professionals with evidence-based tools to improve patient care. Attendees left with practical knowledge on patient safety science, reporting systems, and quality improvement methodologies. Wrap-Up The Patient Safety Research Seminar marked an important step in aligning Potchefstroom Hospital and the NWU with both national and international standards for safer, higher-quality healthcare.

En vir aanbieders is dit ’n maklike manier om jou aktiwiteit bekend te maak.

  • Eden’s Evening Market Set for 26 September

    Klerksdorp residents have another reason to get out of the house and into the fresh air. Eden’s Evening Market will be back on Friday, 26 September 2025, promising a mix of food, music and stalls at the Eden Garden Centre in Wilkoppies. Live Music on the Night The stage won’t be empty. Karlien Husselman and Anthony McGee are set to perform live, providing the soundtrack for the evening. Whether you’re browsing stalls or simply parking off with something to eat, you’ll have music to go with it. What to Expect The organisers are keeping things simple: Food that goes beyond the usual slap chips. Stalls with all sorts of finds. Kids’ entertainment, which should buy parents at least a bit of browsing time. Pets welcome, because apparently even dogs like a bit of weekend atmosphere. And of course, the market vibe that gets people lingering long after they’ve “just come for a quick look”. Times and Tickets The market runs from 15:00 until 21:00, which means enough time for both the early birds and those who prefer to roll in later. Entrance fee: R30 per person. Kids under 12: Free. Eden’s Evening Market is shaping up to be more than just a shopping trip. It’s a spot to eat, shop, and hang out while the kids run around and the band plays. In short, it’s a Friday night out that doesn’t require much planning, which is probably why it works.
