Covid-19 has had a detrimental impact on our lives and, has unfortunately, robbed us of colleagues within the Department. Last week Friday, the Department honoured the social workers who passed on during the pandemic by having a candle lighting ceremony at the Nokuthula Special School in Lyndhurst, North of Johannesburg.

Social workers from the five regions in the province, arrived in numbers wearing green and black in honour of their fallen colleagues. An official from Rays of Hope, Muchayedi, led the program of the day and reminded the social workers that they need to bring back the respect and dignity within the social work industry.

The Registrar for the South African Council for Social Services Professions (SACSSP), Langi Malamba, thanked Social Workers for the effort they put to ensure that the memories of the dearly departed colleagues are cherished. Malamba also guided Social Workers as they recited their professional pledge.

The bereaved family members received portraits of the fallen daughters and sons. Social Worker, Brenda Maluleke, said that the families are not alone and that social workers will stand by them during the hard times that they may face.
