Whistling child abuse awareness

Sheriff of the Eastern Cape Division High Court, Annerie Wolmarans, will launch a campaign called Daneil's Whistling Teddy, on National Women's Day on August 2.

Beginning with a walk from the Drostdy Arch to the City Hall, the campaign aims to give whistles to at least 10 000 children.

Sheriff of the Eastern Cape Division High Court, Annerie Wolmarans, will launch a campaign called Daneil's Whistling Teddy, on National Women's Day on August 2.

Beginning with a walk from the Drostdy Arch to the City Hall, the campaign aims to give whistles to at least 10 000 children.

Knitted teddy bears made by King's Old Age Home, in King William's Town will also be distributed with the whistles.

In a letter Wolmarans wrote to Makana Mayor, Zamuxolo Peter, last month, she stated that as Sheriff she was aware that most rapes in communities took place within 500m of the victim-survivor's home.

Most children, who went missing, were taken within a radius of one kilometre from their home states Wolmarans.

The whistle campaign is named after her daughter-in-law Daneil Wolmarans, who was diagnosed with leukaemia in March 2007.

"This is a token of love and appreciation for Daneil," said Wolmarans.

 She said Grahamstown South African Police Station (SAPS) commissioner, Morgan Govender, had pledged his support for the campaign, as have 17 local schools, five local children's organisations and various members of the community, including members of the local legal fraternity.

Wolmarans has worked for the Department of Justice for 38 years and for most of her working life, she has also done volunteer work for the SPCA, the Makana Donkey Association and the Red Cross.

She also runs a safe house for seven abused children in a Grahamstown.
