The City of Cape Town will
open two new Disaster Risk Management volunteer bases in Mitchells Plain and
Ottery today.
The operation is led by
Mayoral Committee Member for Safety and Security Alderman JP Smith.
The latest additions bring the
number of city-wide volunteer centres to 12 in total. Another three facilities
will open by the end of December 2015.
Mayoral Committee Member for
Safety and Security Alderman JP Smith says we are very proud of these people
who have spent and sacrifice their personal time to make an impact on the world
around them.
Smith added that “We are very
proud to have people like that associated with the city and giving them these
base stations to work from is our way to say thank you and acknowledge what
they are doing”.
“We starting with Mitchells
Plain, this is a promise we made two years ago to them that we would launch
this base station when the Mitchells Plain base volunteer group was our
volunteer group of the year. So we are delivering on this promise now and we
will be extremely proud to be handing over the keys” he concluded.
