Rössing empowers scholar patrol teams

Leandrea Mouers – The Rössing Uranium Mine donated scholar patrol gear to seven schools in Walvis Bay, and the schools have been receiving training from the Walvis Bay Traffic Department. The schools include Tutaleni Primary School, Duneside Private School, Duinesig High School, Narraville Primary School, Flamingo Primary School, Nara Primary School, and Laerskool Walvisbaai. The corporate communications manager of Rössing Uranium, Daylight Ekandjo, stated that school patrols stand as a beacon of community-based road safety. “These programmes instill invaluable lessons of civic responsibility, spatial awareness, and leadership in the young minds that partake in them. It empowers our learners to take ownership of their surroundings and contribute meaningfully to the welfare of their peers.”She added that Rössing’s involvement in this programme is under the slogan “I am aware”. “We are calling on everyone to remain aware and vigilant on our roads, whether you are a pedestrian, a passenger in a vehicle, or a driver of a vehicle. Collectively, we have a responsibility to keep each other safe. Our involvement not only benefits the communities we operate in, but it also serves to enrich our organisational culture.“Together, we can cultivate a culture of safety, responsibility, and empowerment through learned awareness for generations to come.” Senior traffic officer, Clinton Jacobs, added that there is a big interest in road safety. “Hopefully, in the years to come, we will have road safety as a subject at school, where learners can learn more. With this donation, it is imperative that we look after the gear. We will come visit you often and assist where we can.”Maria Iita, a grade 8 learner at Duinesig High School in Walvis Bay, encouraged her fellow learners to listen to their scholar patrol teams. “We have a tendency to think we are big men and women, and then we walk where we want to. The sidewalk is made for pedestrians, and the streets are for cars. Let the road be for the cars, and let us not play in the streets. If you love yourself, you will take precautions when you are on the road. Let us be alert.” – leandrea@erongo.com.na
