SPREADING THE LOVE THIS CHRISTMAS
The Allied Movement for Change distributed gifts and food parcels needy to families on Christmas Eve.
"Many within communities in the Western Cape struggle to put food on the table. With social grants having been paid out early in December, many families were facing dire conditions this Christmas. Through the work of one of our dedicated leaders, Sanieya Fransman, we have identified needy families and distributed food parcels accordingly.
Allied Movement for Change Executive Deputy Chairperson, Fazlin Fransman, who over saw the distribution of gifts was humbled by the reactions of families, " Parents were happier than their kids. One could see the relief in their eyes, knowing that their kids will at least get something this Christmas."
The families gathered a central venue on Christmas Eve to receive their gifts and Food Parcels
Rajbansi: A dream deferred
By Roy Bhoola
As we commemorate the passing of one of South Africa’s most colourful politicians - Amichand Rajbansi - we are reminded of the pertinent truth regarding his legacy and the new era of thought which has permeated the South African Indian Community.
Rajbansi’s rise to the political realm, as the sole fighter for the Indian community during the dark days of Apartheid, will forever be edged in the memory of every Indian man, woman and child as they progress unabatingly in the new South Africa. His reign was therefore unchallenged, his decisions accepted as truth and his leadership unquestioned. He was the ultimate “Bengal Tiger”.
Rajbansi was to the Indian community what Buthelezi is to the Zulus - A lone ranger who unrelentingly fought for his people to be acknowledged as equals within the democratic dispensation. The sordid Apartheid strategy of Divide and Rule, saw leaders emerge to defend and promulgate for the rights of their people. Rajbansi was a product of a time where communities needed fearless leaders. Leaders who would fight the system the best way they knew how, to ensure that their community was liberated from a torrent system of oppression.
Twenty years after the advent of democracy, South African Indians now face a different challenge. The gauntlet of nation-building and re-integration has been placed upon all by former President Nelson Mandela. We now stand, not as a single group fighting only for our own people, but as a Nation of Africans, united in our diversity, striving to make this beautiful country a better place for all who live in it.
Gone are the days of “Divide and Rule” strategies which fed into ethnocentric politics.
More and more youth are identifying firstly as South Africans. An identity which ties them to this land as their home. Social demographics are ushering in a new era of thought and behaviour amongst Indian youth. As a nation, South Africa is undergoing a demographic phenomenon where ethnic, racial, and cultural identities are rapidly being replaced by a “National Identity”, where citizens identify themselves as South African first, while racial categories like Black, White, Indian and Coloured are secondary.
Amichand Rajbansi laid a strong foundation. His tireless work has enabled this new generation of Indians to scanter forth. He cherished the dream of a South Africa where Indian boys and girls would identify with the greater South African Identity.
Today his dream is no longer deferred.
With his passing three years ago, my responsibility became that much greater. Very few understood the bigger picture under which the Raj was operating, and therefore had limited vision regarding the protection of his legacy.
As my mentor and friend, the loss is insurmountable. Having had the honour and privilege of being handpicked by him to serve two terms within National Parliament, gave me a unique insight into what Rajbansi wanted to achieve.
Therefore, I think the most fitting homage we can pay to him, is to carry forth the cause for which he lived and died. To dedicate ourselves to the task of exterminating racism and building human capital. We need to ensure that Rajbansi’s fight was not in vain, so that this new era of thought becomes a living reality and the greatest monument to his life.
DISABILITY OUTREACH AND EMPOWERMENT PROGRAM
In keeping with the ethos that more needs to be done for the most vulnerable within our society, the Allied Movement for Change has embarked on an empowerment program for the most vulnerable within our society. "Through our Disability Outreach and Empowerment Program, which is being rolled out in various communities across the Western Cape, Gauteng and Kwazulu Natal, we are challenging discriminatory systems which limit the most vulnerable within our Community. The purpose is to highlight that people with disabilities are simply people! It is also to focus attention on addressing barriers to equality and access to other human rights for those living with and affected by disabilities," said Roy Bhoola, Executive Chairman. The Allied Movement for Change would like to thank the Department of Social Development, Department of Health, Local Educators and Pastors and the South African Police Service for participating in this Outreach and Empowerment Program
Peer Educator Program to be launched in Western Cape
The Allied Movement for Change's, Executive Deputy Chairperson, Fazlin Fransman, has recently been initiating a "Support a Child" campaign in the Western Cape. This campaign saw her deliver motivational talks at several schools over the past three months with the key message being :
"Poverty is no excuse. It is an obstacle yes, a mountain yes, but it is no excuse. As individuals we have the agency to change our own lives. That agency is our ability to choose. We must choose good over evil. We must choose education over banking. We must choose a better life over a mediocre life. We MUST choose"
These talks have laid the foundation for the launch of an peer educator program to be run in various communities with the aim of building leadership capacity amongst youth.
"The youth are the future of our country. We need to ensure they have the necessary skills to be able tackle the challenges they will face in the future," said Fazlin Fransman
Food Gardens - Prioritizing Food Security
One of the mandates of the Allied Movement for Change is to critically engage with the community to find innovative was to generate income. One such initiative being piloted by the Allied Movement for Change is Food Gardens within communities, where a shared responsibility is taken, and the agency is returned to the dis-empowered. Executive Chairman, Roy Bhoola, spent a day within the community educating people about innovative ways to generate income. In the coming months a Food Garden program will be rolled out in several communities in the Country
