You can have your dog or cat vaccinated against rabies for R50 @ The Village Vet 🙂

PLEASE VACCINATE YOUR DOGS AND CATS AGAINST RABIES

It is critically important that every pet owner has their dogs and cats vaccinated to protect both humans and animals against rabies.

The first rabies vaccine is given at 12 weeks (three months) of age, followed by a booster vaccination between one and 12 months later. Thereafter, a booster is required every three years. In high-risk areas, annual vaccination is strongly recommended.

Let us unite with the rest of the world to eliminate rabies through One Health and zero deaths, in the run-up to World Rabies Day on 28 September 2022 and beyond.

Wow what a fabulous village we live in. Please be sure to vote for Toad Hall and Darling Brew. The more we spread the news about what great businesses we have in our village the more support we’ll get, which means businesses can grow, which means more employment opportunities and economic growth which always goes hand in hand with reducing crime rate and other social issues. It’s a win-win situation 🙂

Ha ha ha 🤣🤣.
But seriously, please don’t let your dog poo in public places. Don’t leave for a walk without a poo bag, it’s part of being a responsible pet owner and a good villager.

We're still looking for this little dog's owner. He's in foster care at the moment. Please contact the clinic if he's yours.
Is this your dog?

This little guy was found running on the Darling Malmesbury road near the bougainvillea after Weylandts.
He doesn’t have a microchip or a collar. Please call us at The Village Vet if he’s yours or if you know who the owner is.

These two kittens urgently need to find a home. I saw them for health checks and vaccinations the other day and they are real little characters. Take one or both, perfect purring hot water bottles for these chilly autumn days.

This is how we can make a difference to everybody’s wellbeing. Be part of the count please.

The Western Cape could lose funding equivalent to 1615 doctors or 5981 nurses, and over approximately 9300 teachers if only 70% of residents get counted in the 2022 Census. This is according to approximate projections by the Western Cape Provincial Treasury. If this were to happen, it would severely undermine the quality of health care and education services that we provide, at a time when demand for services is ever more pressing.

In money terms, we stand to lose R9.7 billion, or over 16% of our provincial equitable share, if only 70% of residents get counted. This would shave R2.6 billion in funding off our health budget and R4.2 billion off our education budget, with smaller departments also suffering losses. In short, service delivery in the Western Cape will suffer a major blow across the board if residents do not make sure they are counted.

The implications of what could happen if the undercount persists should be deeply concerning to each and every resident of this province, as it is to me. In fact, as of 8 am this morning, with just 9 days to go until the count closes, Statistics South Africa (StatsSA) is not even within sight of a 70% count. They have counted just 61% of residents to date.

While we have seen increases in the number of persons counted, the numbers remain too low. To put it simply, if we only manage to count 70% of the population, the available spending per person would be reduced by more than R1 300 per person per annum in the provincial equitable share.
If we do not get an accurate census count for our province, we may have fewer resources available to deliver services well into the future, which would impact each and every resident. This is a major risk, which we must avoid.
I reiterate my appeal to residents to use the extended Census count period in the Western Cape to get counted. It’s simple - if we are not fully counted, we will not get our fair share of the country’s budget allocation to deliver critical services like education and healthcare, For You.

Get counted today. It is easy to do, and this can be done by:

• Completing the Census questionnaire when visited by an official StatsSA Census counter;
• Completing the Census questionnaire online: getcounted.statssa.gov.za. I encourage you to share this link on your social media accounts, WhatsApp groups or emails. You can also play your part in helping others to get counted; or
• Contacting the Census call centre for any enquiries on 0800 110 248 or emailing [email protected].
