Message from District Governor Dr George Senosha

Welcome to 2025! Compliments of the new season to you and your loved ones. I trust you had a fantastic festive break filled with joy and rejuvenation. As we step into this exciting year, I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude to each one of you for the incredible journey we undertook together in 2024. To kick off the year, let us celebrate some milestones:

• Congratulations to DGND Harry Nxumalo on his appointment. We know you will bring remarkable leadership to our District. Exciting Plans!

• Best wishes to DGE Angelica Salomão, who will be attending the Rotary International Assembly this February. Angelica, you will represent us with distinction and return inspired for the year ahead.

For the remainder of this Rotary year, our District will emphasise the three pillars that keep us afloat: Membership growth, Foundation giving, and Polio giving. Together, we can continue impacting our communities:

Rotary’s 120th Anniversary: This milestone is an opportunity to showcase Rotary's strength. Members who complete 120 Rotary E-Learning courses, including the “My Body Is My Body” (MBIMB) course, and apply their knowledge to impactful programs will be recognised. 

E-Learning Buddies: Rotary is about fellowship and learning together. To help navigate the Rotary E Learning Centre, we will launch Rotary E-Learning Buddies, where Rotarians and friends can complete courses as a team while deepening their bonds. 

Yours in Rotary Service

STEPHANIE URCHICK - RI President 2024-2025
Rotary International President Stephanie Urchick announced that the 2024-25 presidential theme is The Magic of Rotary and called on members to recognize and amplify the organization’s power to save lives.
“Don’t misunderstand me – we are not going to end polio or bring peace to the world by waving a wand and saying some funny words,” “It’s up to you. You create the magic with every project completed, every dollar donated, and every new member.”
DANIEL TANASE - RI Director 2024-2026 Zone 21 &22

Expanding Rotary’s presence in Africa presents numerous opportunities. Africa boasts an array of beautiful and diverse cultures, traditions, and languages, making it an ideal environment for Rotary’s values of diversity, equity, and inclusion to thrive. This can foster better understanding and collaboration across different communities.
