Welcome to Senekal Matwabeng Community Forum Let's make our community a better place! ROTATING BANNER AD SECTION INTRODUCTION Abstract The Senekal / Matwabeng Community Forum (SMCF) originated from the need to revitalize the town through active community participation. In response to negative publicity and various service, safety and security challenges, the community decided to take ownership of their living environment and create a prosperous future. The Forum aim to initiate, develop, implement and coordinate various projects within the area. The various initiatives will be clustered into groups of Clean, Repairing, Painting and Planting as well as special Projects. Sourcing of funds will be from inside as well as outside the communities. Actual work will be carried out, as far as practically possible, by current residents. The SMCF is constituted in a Non-Profit Organisation (NGO) and governed by a Board of Trustees.
