As we mark Africa Day, we cannot ignore the targeted violence and fear unfolding on our streets.

South Africa’s strength was built on the solidarity of the continent, yet today, that bond is under attack. The current vigilantism is not a solution to our economic struggles but rather a direct violation of human rights.

We stand for the dignity of every person, regardless of their origin. As we practice true Ubuntu, this means protecting the vulnerable and choosing unity over division. It is time for our leaders to act and for our communities to reclaim compassion.

ProBono.Org Durban was proud to attend the Family Day event hosted by FAMSA Pinetown under the theme “Families Are Stronger Together.”

The event brought together families, children, and various community stakeholders for a fun and informative day focused on strengthening families and creating awareness around important social issues.

As ProBono.Org, we engaged with the community about our free legal services, with a focus on the prevalent issue of domestic violence and education on housing and property rights.

Important discussions were also held around road safety, caring for the elderly, social support services, and substance abuse awareness, including the concerning rise of substance abuse affecting children at a very young age.

The children especially enjoyed the games and activities, making the day both educational and enjoyable for everyone involved.
