TMPD grants special award to Scientology Volunteer Minister for saving lives.
The tireless work by the volunteers was done weekly, when not daily, throughout all levels of the lockdown to ensure the utmost safety for all.
The Scientology Volunteer Ministers often help to take care of people by offering essential services for free.
The organisation, which has a centre based in Midrand, dedicated more than 800 days of lockdown on the frontlines helping with free decontamination, wellness education, and free skills development to the entire country.
To date, they have sanitised more than 70 000 buildings across the country, from homeless shelters, clinics, hospitals, and orphanages, many of whom are run by the Department of Social Development.
Their essential services have been recognised by the Tshwane Metro Police Department (TMPD), and recently the department presented the organisation with a prestigious award for the tireless work done to support the police throughout the pandemic.
Following the commencement of the ceremony held at the organisation’s premises in Castle Kyalami, attended by more than 400 people, the office of the Tshwane Chief of Police presented a once-in-a-lifetime special award to show appreciation to the volunteers.
The Volunteer Ministers have worked closely with the TMPD by sanitising their buildings and cars.
The award was a special bronzed TMPD cap with the department’s logo, mounted at attention, next to a plate that reads, ‘Awarded to L. Ron Hubbard and the Scientology Volunteer Ministers.’
The cap represents honour, dedication, and trust and was specially made for the organisation.
The spokesperson of the organisation Sandile Hlayisi was grateful to the department for the prestigious award.
“I am brought to tears by what TMPD has done for us. Thousands of volunteers dedicated hundreds of thousands of hours of their time for free to assist their fellowmen. And unbelievably, they are still working at it to date. They never stopped. I received this award for all of them. It is very meaningful for every one of us. We thank you for the honour as we continue to be there to serve,” said Hlayisi.
He added they were continuing their community service and were now providing effective skills development workshops to help people deal with the losses suffered and rebuild their lives for a better South Africa.
