Community Volunteers / Nyandeni High Risk areas Synopsis


find us on



Training of community volunteers (community fire response teams) was a joint initiative taken with the Headmen’s/ Local Chiefs / Councillors during our meetings far back as 2008-2009. The OR Tambo DM, realised to fight the scourge of fires that are ravaging our communities our focus and approached should be changed.


We needed to be result orientated and felt that all fires start small, therefore training and capacitating community volunteers to be the first “line of defence” would further enhance our “fire attack” on ensuring our limited resources reach the furthermost parts of our District. This initiative was done in partnering with Rural Development strategically in 2011 as all end goals are focused on fire disaster mitigating and risk reduction measures.


The training was finalized the month of March 6-8 with equipment, fire protective clothing delivered on the 8th. May 2012. The groups trained were from the following high risk areas: Mbobeleni, Magozini, Zinduneni, Lujizweni, Great Place, Nyandeni, Lwandile, Mafini, Mdumazulu with projects rolling out to other areas in 2012-2013.
