Message from District Governor Dr George Senosha

As we approach the festive season, let us reflect on our incredible work while setting our sights on achieving even more. Rotary District 9400 has the potential to grow stronger, and our greatest asset is our members—those committed to the ideals of service, fellowship, and leadership.
We must tap into the parents and guardians of children involved in our programs as a fertile ground for increasing membership. Many people desire to join the Rotary but remain unaware of the process or the true essence of being a Rotarian. Let us not rush to induct members without ensuring they understand and embrace the commitment. We seek quality members who will journey with us for the long haul and contribute meaningfully to our cause.
As we strategize for membership growth, remember that empowering and developing leaders remains at our heart. Diversity, equity, and inclusion guide our efforts, and our youth engagement initiatives are already yielding inspiring results. I am proud to announce the leadership of our District Team, chaired by Chantelle Bennett, with Amy McBride (Rotary Club Okavango) and Ragu Govender (Rotary Club Northcliff) serving as deputies. We are supported by a dynamic group of members committed to driving Rotary’s mission forward.
Over the past six months, we have visited many clubs across the District, witnessing your dedication firsthand. Our hearts go out to Mozambique, where unrest disrupted our plans. We continue to hope for peace and remain committed to supporting our Rotarians there.
One of our proudest initiatives is the “Through My Body is My Body Autonomy” campaign, which aims to protect children from physical and sexual harm. This program reminds us of parents and guardians' critical role in amplifying our message and extending our reach to safeguard future generations.
