Western Cape Government and local celebrities launch ‘Respect’ Campaign
Today, 24 November 2014, MEC of Cultural Affairs and Sport, Dr Nomafrench Mbombo and South Africa’s local celebrities will be launching the ‘Create a Culture of Respect’ campaign in light of the 16 days of Activism movement.
The MEC, local stars/celebrities and sporting heroes will co-sign a pledge committing to fighting against the abuse of women and children in their different career fields.
MEC Mbombo has partnered up with our sport stars, actors, comedians and radio personalities to make a plea to the people of the Western Cape to ‘Create a Culture of Respect’ and take a stand against this abuse of our most vulnerable people in society. They will use their influence in each field to effect change and speak to people across the province.
This initiative aims to ensure that the protection of women and children goes far beyond the 16 days of this campaign.
There will be opportunities for interviews and photographs.
