BISHOP LAVIS DEVELOPMENT FORUM: NEW EXCO ELECTED
BDF aims to do better T
he newly elected executive committee of the Bishop Lavis Development Forum (BDF) came to the conclusion that the organisation can only be as strong as the community organisations and interested individuals belonging to the BDF allow it to be. This according to the BDF chairperson, Quentin Newman, following the recent election of the new executive committee last week. Newman says they can be as strong as the community allows them to be by supporting what is envisaged as the mouthpiece and conscience of the community. He says that at the recent annual meeting of the BDF, an executive committee was
elected consisting of five members who were formerly part of the executive and four new members. “The BDF wants to switch over to a higher gait in order to ensure that the needs and wishes of the community are met, through the active participation of organisations and interested individuals in matters of interest to the community,” he says. In order to accomplish these aims, the constitution of the BDF states that the organisation will forge links with the local and national governments, as well as with formaland informal businesses, to achieve the aims of the community. Newman says that the constitution fur-
ther states that the BDF will have no other agenda than the agenda of the community. All organisations and interested individuals in Bishop Lavis and surrounding communities are urgently requested to apply in writing to become a member of this overarching structure by also completing a questionnaire. Each organisation should also supply the BDF with its constitution. The questionnaires may be collected from the Bishops School of Skills, John Ramsay High and Bishop Lavis High, Bishop Lavis and Kalksteenfontein primary schools, as well as Clark Estate Primary School. “With the shootings that are still taking
