“2010 EASTER SELF DEFENCE WORKSHOP”

Easter weekend is just around the corner and maybe you have planned a well deserved break with the family during the first holiday of the school term.  Holidays are a time for relaxation and enjoyment, but would you not feel more confidant if you knew how to become more aware of your surroundings and had an opportunity to learn the basic skills of self protection? Maybe your 15 year old daughter has asked to spend the holidays with friends and you are concerned about her general safety?  The 2010 Easter Self Defence Workshop is the perfect “gift of empowerment” which  will allow you to enjoy the Easter break with a heightened sense of awareness and the knowledge of self defence.

On 27 March 2010,  Sanette Smit, Cosmo’s self defence expert and her team will be presenting  the “ 2010 Easter Self Defence Workshop “ which promises to enlighten, empower and motivate you.

STAY SAFE AT HOME , AT WORK AND AT PLAY
LAUNCH OF THE SHOPRITE STAY SAFE WOMEN’S ROAD SHOW

A self-defence road show with the aim of empowering women with basic skills of self-protection is about to kick off in Bredasdorp in the Western Cape, former hometown of Anene Booysen whose brutal rape and murder just over a year ago caught the world’s attention.

On 21 June 2014, Shoprite, in collaboration with Sanette Smit and her team of self-defence instructors, will be commencing the road show which will afford 1 200 women throughout 12 Western Cape communities the opportunity to attend a three hour workshop free of charge.

Scottish singer-songwriter and well-known international social activist and philanthropist, Annie Lennox, had the following to say in support of the campaign: “I think this is an excellent initiative and I heartily endorse and appreciate what the team at the Shoprite Stay Safe Self-defence Road Show are doing!”

The team will be training 100 women per workshop between June 2014 and May 2015 and registration details for the workshops will be advertised in local community newspapers and on local radio stations.

Bredasdorp was selected for the launch event as a tribute to the memory of Anene Booysen whose brutal attack in February 2013 led to an international outcry against the level of violence against women.

The team, led by Sanette Smit, an 8^th Dan karateka and acclaimed self-defence practitioner of more than 30 years standing, will travel to Oudtshoorn, George, Beaufort West, Piketberg, Atlantis, Vredendal, Macassar, Ceres, Lentegeur , Khayelitsha and Fish Hoek spreading the message that women may defend themselves.  The workshops will serve as the platform for teaching the women how to become more aware of potential threats to their personal safety and how they can equip themselves with invaluable self-protection techniques.

Shoprite is committed to the safety of all women of South Africa and their support of this initiative show will make self-protection methods more accessible to women and allow them to better cope in communities where violent attacks on women have become commonplace.
