‘Bus’ project expands SAMANTHA LEE-JACOBS @Samantha_Lee121
T
he Walking Bus project has officially been integrated as a City of Cape Town project, complete with a new logo and new equipment for the 1 500 volunteers already recruited to the initiative. Mayor Dan Plato started the project while he was still the provincial minister for com-
munity safety in 2016. It now officially falls under the City’s banner, following a launch held in Lentegeur on Wednesday 16 October. Mitchell’s Plain and surrounding communities were invited to the launch. It will be followed by similar events in neighbouring communities. Separate events are being held because a big enough venue to accommodate all 1 500 volunteers could not be found. Volunteers received packages which
included bibs, a stipend and road signs that say “Caution, bright futures ahead”, “The future is walking at 4km per hour” and “Slow down, bright futures crossing”. “I could see the tears in some of your eyes when you heard about the stipend. I must remind you that this is not a salary,” said Plato to the volunteers. “We are going to require you to do more.” Plato says the volunteers have been doing
a good job and encourages them to be active in and around the school premises. A parent, who asked not to be identified, says she is happy to see the volunteers assisting children at the school. “As mothers, we stand here. There are various occasions where children get dropped off and run over the road. It is dangerous. There is a big need for this,” she says. V Continued on page 2.
