Australian Government And NSRI Teach Children Water Safety
Story 2
The Australian Government and the National Sea Rescue Institute have partnered to teach water safety and survival swimming to children across four South African provinces.
The programme aims to reach 30,000 children with water safety education and provide practical survival swimming lessons to another 1,000 in Gauteng, the Free State, Mpumalanga and Limpopo.
Learners are taught how to recognise water dangers, call for emergency help, float and move through water to reach safety.
The initiative focuses on inland communities where children may have limited access to formal swimming lessons.

Fairland Residents Transform Park Into Family-Friendly Space
Story 3
Residents and local businesses in Fairland, Johannesburg, have invested close to R150 000 in transforming Union Jack Park into a safer, more welcoming recreational space for families.
A new community-funded jungle gym was installed last week, giving children another place to play.
The project follows the installation of about 420 gum poles to prevent vehicles from entering the park, helping families and nearby school learners make greater use of the grounds.
Local businesses contributed materials and equipment, while residents donated money and helped with the work.
