Appeal to help feed animals in need this festive period

MyPR: Appeal to help feed animals in need this festive period:

While many have certainly felt the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, the past year has been just as devastating to vulnerable animals across the country, leaving many cats, dogs and other animals abandoned, hungry, homeless and in desperate need of kindness.

With many ways to give back, Montego Pet Nutrition wants to urge the public to support their local SPCA through volunteering time, resources, or available charity initiatives over the December break.
Give your local SPCA or animal welfare organisation a call and find out how you and your loved ones can be of service.

Alternatively, rally a group of friends or family members together to raise funds for the SPCA or a charity of your choice. With so many organisations struggling to make ends meet, particularly in these difficult times, a little really does go a long way towards easing the financial burden many animal organisations are faced with.

If you don’t have the time or resources to spare but would still like to do your part, consider offering your support through charitable initiatives, such as the M-Power project, which enables you to help provide animals in need with much-needed food and supplies that is convenient and easily accessible.

To locate your nearest SPCA and find out how you can help, visit www.nspca.co.za. You can also visit www.montegopower.store to find out more about Montego’s M-Power COVID relief project.

Did you know this about Johannesburg? The Johannesburg Zoo is more than 100 years old: The zoo was founded in 1904 and covers 55 hectares of land. The zoo used to house the only two polar bears in Africa.

The Randlord Mansions: History

The history of these mansions is also a story of urban warfare and preservation. In the 1960s and 70s, as Johannesburg expanded, many of the original Parktown estates were ruthlessly demolished to make way for the M1 Highway and the massive concrete campus of the Wits University Medical School. The “Parktown War” saw heritage activists fighting the bulldozers to save what remained of the city’s architectural soul. Today, several of the surviving mansions serve as corporate headquarters, schools, or museums, stripped of their private domesticity but preserved as monuments to a gilded age.

Interestingly, these mansions also played a secret role in the city’s political evolution. It was in the drawing rooms of Parktown that the “progressive” mining elite would meet to discuss the future of the country, often finding themselves at odds with the more conservative Boer government. Lady Florence Phillips, in particular, used her influence to found the Johannesburg Art Gallery, insisting that a world-class city needed world-class culture, not just gold bars. Today, walking the “Heritage Trail” through Parktown offers a haunting contrast; you stand in the quiet, manicured gardens of the victors, looking down at the pulsing, crowded city that their gold mines created. It is the ultimate “view from the top,” a reminder that the extreme wealth of Sandton today has its DNA rooted in the stone-and-timber palaces of the 1900s.
