Rudy van Dieman, who has partnered with Angels South Africa, an organisation based in Colorado Park, Mitchells Plain, will summit Table Mountain 365 times in 2022, to raise funds for building a community orphanage. Angels SA wants to purchase a house that will become a safe house for children. ‘’Farieda Moses, [Founder of AngelsSA] has been a role model to me since I knew her. She took us on a camp and we stayed in contact after that ,and we done various charity work together. Just her will, and her strength that I see in her - she wants to make such a big change, but don’t have the necessary tools, so it will take years to fund her dream, and I came up with the crazy idea to give it a year and do my part to raise those funds and build that house,’’ said van Dieman.

In today’s show, we heard from Rehana Dada – Coordinator for the One Million Climate Jobs Campaign. The Campaign is a joint project of labour, social and environmental civil society organisations that realise the necessity and possibility of simultaneously tackling the economic and ecological crises, especially jobs and climate change. The project works from the premise that the transition to a low carbon economy, through a transition to renewable energy, is not a threat to jobs, but rather provides extensive opportunity for creating thousands of jobs, or more than a million if coordinated by the state. The project unfolds in the context of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and specifically in relation to the Seventeenth Conference of the Parties that will be held in Durban from the 28th of November to the 9th of December 2011. The project seeks to lay the basis for a One Million Climate Jobs Campaign that serves as an advocacy and mobilising tool in the build-up to COP 17. It would also serve as the basis for continued engagement with government on economic policy, job creation and climate change.
