Adopt a Pothole (seriously, I kid you not)
“The Empowerment Gateway Group announced recently that they have received authorization from the Govan Mbeki Municipality to repair potholes in their area of jurisdiction.
The authorization has enabled Empowerment Gateway to launch the Adopt-a-Pothole programme.
The program is a new Social-Economic Enterprise which addresses key fundamental needs in South Africa , being road infrastructure, maintenance and the alleviation of unemployment and poverty in local communities.
The Empowerment Gateway is now inviting the business sector to participate as sponsors and custodians in the Adopt-a-Pothole programme.
The programme has been designed as a practical business and enterprise development incubator and it will recruit, train and mentor unemployed individuals as business unit caretakers, admin and support officers and pothole doctors.*
The programme has the potential to create over 20 000 income earning opportunities nationally over a five year period.
These workers would then be repairing over six million potholes over the five years.
The Adopt-a-Pothole programme will not only be addressing the unemployment issue, it will also help everyday road users to reduce typical repair costs associated with potholes.
For more information about the Adopt-a-Pothole programme, you can visit www.adopt-a-pothole.org <http://www.adopt-a-pothole.org/> or contact Ms Laurinda Seabra at 08209666568.”
