The Community Garden Sakhe is located
at a primary school and used to have a container, which gave
shelter during hot and windy, and also during cold and wet
days. In 2002 a big truck came, during daytime, and picked
up the container, lifted it over the fence and drove off.
People were watching it, but thought it would be a relocation,
ordered by the school or municipality. But later everybody
found out: the container and the things inside were stolen.
The garden Sakhe is contracted to deliver vegetables each
Tuesday to Harvest of Hope and has been a supplier to HoH
since it started in February 2008. The three men working
on it decided to save some of the money they get from selling
to HoH and locally, to build a new shack for their work-breaks,
meetings and tools. In September 2008 enough money was saved,
and the material was bought for R2,500 (~£170, €215,
$300) to build this shack. The men are very happy about the
market HoH offers them, and the decision they made to save
the money for this purpose.
