Thursday will be remembered as a special day as the Menzi Ngubane Foundation, together with BrightSpark SA Foundation took a bold move to solidify their relationship with Sophiatown Police Station’s Victim Empowerment Unit. The two partners donated women and children “Dignity Packs” to ensure that the victims of abuse, rape, and other societal ailments receive the care they need, and to restore their value and beauty.
“Our relationship with the Menzi Ngubane Foundation was built on the seeds planted by the man himself, Menzi Ngubane. During the talks we had when he was still alive, we both committed to ensuring that our society is a healthy one, women and girls are taken care of and boys are given the proper direction as they maneuver life. This is a proud moment as one of his wishes has been realized with the relationship we have built with the Sophiatown Police Station. Our aim is to intensify the relationship with the unit, ensuring that we make a difference in the victims’ lives,” said Welcome Witbooi from BrightSpark SA Foundation. Mr. Witbooi added that the Dignity Pack is given to women who go to the police station to seek help; to remind them of how special and beautiful they are despite the bruises and emotional trauma they’re experiencing.
