Economic Opportunities Programme - NICRO Limpopo's Vision
for EOP clients
Our dream is to take the project to the level where it becomes
familiar and acceptable to our clients. We believe in a holistic
approach, involving organisational projects and also governmental
and community structures outside the organisation. The aim is to
see EOP making differences to the lives of its beneficiaries.
NICRO Limpopo held its first ever Business Awards Function in
October 2001. The event successfully took place at Oscar Mpetha
Stadium, University of the North. Dignataries from the Departments
of Trade and Industry, Correctional Services, Education, Culture & Sports
and Culture as well as contesting entrepreneurs attended the
prize giving ceremony. Benny’s Brick and Tyres emerged as
victors to seize the first prize.

NORTHERN CAPE |
| |
The past year was a challenging one for NICRO Northern Cape.
A number of staff changes, specifically in the Kimberley office,
had an effect on service delivery but thanks to the staff’s
resolve and commitment we concluded the year having accomplished
much.
The vastness of the Northern Cape remains challenging for any
organisation rendering social services in the province.
It calls for service providers to be creative and innovative.
It also necessitates the establishment of strategic partnerships with
the government and the business sector to ensure that services are taken
to remote rural areas.
During the year under review NICRO Northern Cape initiated a
number of successful partnerships. Our Offender Reintegration
Programme and the Department of Safety and Liaison’s “Say
No To Stolen Goods” project jointly staged a very successful
rally in Nababeep, Namaqualand. Connie Seoposengwe, (MEC) for
Safety and Liaison, was the guest speaker.
The partnership between NICRO, ABSA, RDP, as well as the communities
of Florianville, Colville and Galeshewe resulted in the establishment
of the Lesedi Furniture Manufacturing project. The purpose of
this project is to manufacture furniture for low cost housing.
Okiep Bricks
John Tuck started his business, making bricks, at home in his backyard.
He sold the bricks to local building contractors. He approached NICRO
and received SIYB Training and was linked with a financial institution
to apply for a loan to buy equipment. He now delivers bricks to Nababeep,
Concordia and Springbok.
“The NICRO programme taught me that crime does not pay.
I must take responsibility of my own life and actions, to become
self sustainable and help my fellow brothers and sisters.”
