The Western Cape MEC of Cultural Affairs and Sport, Anroux Marais, will
launch the “Water Safety Awareness” initiative at Strandfontein Pavillion
today.
Stacey McLean, spokesperson for MEC Marais explained that the MEC will be
taught how to surf by Caleb Swanepoel and Nigel Savel, the founder of the
9Miles Project.
“MEC Marias will also engage with the youth in the area to raise
awareness on water safety and decreasing the high number of drowning incidents
in the Western Cape.” Mclean said.
The 9Miles Project is a youth and community development Non-Profit
Organisation that uses surfing and swimming as a platform for transformation,
focusing on vulnerable youth in Cape Town, Mclean concluded.
