StaanSaam Rustenburg on Rustenburg – Anina Peens, anchor and news writer from Kyk Net eNuus, on Monday, 19 May 2014, interviewed Naomi Pasino from StaanSaam Rustenburg and some of the miners struggling to keep head above water due to the longest on-going strike in South African mining history. Their work as neighbourhood watch over the past few months has drastically changed into charity, collecting and handing out food parcels twice a day to people who have no income and no more resources. People who cannot afford keeping up their homes have moved in with others, to the extent of up to seven families now living together in one house. A very emotional Naomi Pisano told of a school boy who collapsed on the rugby field because he had not eaten for two days. There may be hope still for mineworkers whose wages are being negotiated, but contractors have been hard hit, some of them losing everything, while oth- ers have gone to Pretoria to seek employment, living in their cars and only returning on weekends with whatever little money they had been able to earn. Anina spoke to Piet Grobler, a contractor who worked at Lonmin as a shift supervisor before he lost everything due to the strike. “If the strikes does not stop now, by the end of this month we will lose our house and walk out with only our clothes and my old Renault. We sold all our possessions to pay our rent and buy food. Now we have nothing,” Grobler related. StaanSaam Rustenburg provided the Grobler family with food parcels, but the reality is that if the strike does not end soon, they are doomed, like so many others in the same boat. StaanSaam Rustenburg is in desperate need of a house or warehouse to be used as a shelter and appeals to the community to assist in finding a location suitable for this project.

SOULFOOD New King James Version (NKJV) (Matthew 6:20) 20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. (1 John 1:8) 8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.
