Project to protect owls and communitiesSeldom seen but ever present in urban environments, rats pose a great danger to human communities through their ability to transmit diseases, such as forms of meningitis and typhus, by air and through their faeces. Bites and food contaminated with rat faeces can also lead to infections such as rat bite fever.
Rat poisons pose an even greater hazard. Accidental ingestion of rat poison can lead to certain death, while animals feeding on the body of a rat killed in this way will themselves die, and the poison will be passed on up the food chain.
A safe and natural form of rodent control is available in the feathered form of owls, but these solitary birds of prey are often killed out of ignorance as suspicious communities regard them to be bad omens, harbingers of death or an indication of witchcraft. Read More

To counter the problem, the Owl Box Project has been introduced to township schools. Owl boxes are placed in the school grounds to encourage breeding. In this way, youngsters learn firsthand about owls and the benefits they bring, and through interaction with these remarkable nocturnal birds, they learn admiration and respect. Read More
Tornado hit Masechaba View Extension Two in Duduza will, without doubt, be redeveloped, said the MEC for local government and housing, Humphrey Nimemeza, when visiting the area on Tuesday.
He, however, lashed out at political parties, which in times of disasters are not helping to find solutions, but blaming the company which built the houses that had been destroyed in the storm, for poor construction.
Mmemeza, when addressing the media in Duduza, said analyses, assessments and investigations of the houses are to be conducted and those processes will take time. At the moment, governments focus is on supporting the community of Masechaba. Read More
