KIWINET
Kiwinet is excited to have partnered with Liezl Franken to produce masks to help slow the spread of COVID 19.
To keep the price as low as possible, Kiwinet is donating the fabric. Yes, some is off-cuts but there is a win-win here as it also reduces landfill. That good old fashioned saying, Waste not – Want not.
They are made with 3 layers of fabric, a soft inner cotton layer and an identifiable outer layer to ensure one wears it the right way round! They are made by our local seamstresses and tailors either at Kiwinet or at home - thereby providing an ongoing income to our staff and thus community.
Masks can now be purchased and collected at Ou Meul as well as at our Kiwinet factory from 8am - 5pm everyday.
R25.00 each for plain & R 50.00 each of our Shweshwe masks.

SAWS RESCUE
NEVER SAY NEVER: DOG RESCUED AFTER MONTHS
SAWS is delighted. The road-running dog Zenzi (so named by road workers) seen criss-crossing the R43 between Hermanus and Stanford for many month, is safe.
SAWS chairperson Malcolm Bury was alerted to Zenzy’s plight in May. Rescue plans were made. Farmworker Casper Biningu, who knew where she hid, started putting food down on 7 June.
The SAWS catch cage was then set up but she avoided it.
A bigger cage was located. And then one morning … “Gotcha!”.
Zenzi is now at Syringa Country Kennels, basking in that exceptional care Malcolm is so well-known for.
The system in place for pet food donations is as follows:
Leave pet food (dry) at allocated spaces at Overberg Agri Stanford or Stanford OK Mini Market
Monetary donations to be paid into SAWS banking account, reference Pet Feeding: Stanford Animal Welfare Society
