The Nex -Indawo Yethu

We welcomed a visit to the Nex Indawo Yethu campus by Martin Rinke and just retired Mayor of Gelsenkirchen Karin Welge and her daughter Giulia. They were interested in exploring The Nex campus and hearing about our services and programmes. It was wonderful to connect and in particular to revive our collaboration with the Rotary Club Gelsenkirchen -Schloss Horst who are one of the sponsors of our HOPE Cape Town vehicle.

Thank you to Safe Eyes who brought their care and expertise to The Nex campus, offering free eye tests and vision screenings for some of our learners from Grade R to the AfterSchool Programme.
Optometrist Warren and opticians Shyline and Mishkah tested 35 children and assessed visual acuity, visual field, contrast, and colour and provided lens testing for those needing glasses.
14 (that’s 40%) of those tested were found to need glasses. An incredible 5 out of 6 children from the after-school group required glasses, showing just how vital these screenings are for early detection and better learning outcomes.
A big thank you to Safe Eyes for helping our children see their world — and their future — more clearly!

One of the highlights of the 30th anniversary commemoration of the Western Cape–Bavaria partnership at The Nex–Indawo Yethu campus was the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the Department of Agriculture Western Cape, HSF, and Hochschule Weihenstephan-Triesdorf — marking a new chapter of collaboration in agricultural education and innovation.
To celebrate all cooperation and synergies in this portfolio between Bavaria and the Western Province, Dr Ivan Meyer, Western Cape Minister of Agriculture, Economic Development and Tourism, invited Bavarian State Minister Dr Florian Herrmann and Western Cape Premier Alan Winde to plant three trees in the garden beside the Bayerngarden Centre for Early Childhood Development — a symbolic gesture of shared growth and enduring friendship.
