Social- issues like crime, poverty , teenage pregnancy and gangsterism in schools are some of the leading problems in the township of Embalenhle. Founder of Individual Brilliance Organization, Ntokozo Mthembu says he started this Non-Profit Organization to try and minimize such problems in this community.
The organization works with various stakeholders from school principals, clinics and hospitals to various government departments.
They involve as much stakeholders as they can because people come for assistance to the organization with different problems.
Individual Brilliance was established in 2018 but was only registered and fully functioned this year.
“The organization currently has 41 committed members, who work hard to help the community with different problems that they come across.
The primary objective of this organization is to fight crime. The people of eMba have lost faith on the police, people always complain of being ill-treated or not getting fair service at the police station”, said the founder of the organization Ntokozo Mthembu.
Mthembu said that the organization is there to close the gap between the police and the eMbalenhle community but he says it is not easy because most of these crimes are committed by hardcore criminals.
He further added that one of the challenges they are currently facing is lack of funding. “Our volunteers need to go for training so that they can be able to protect themselves while they patrol the streets of Embalenhle at night”.
Apart from fighting crime, the organization also works with schools to help end bullying at schools and gangsterism among school children. Mthembu urged people to come to their organization for any problem they might need assistance with.
Those who might need help from Individual Brilliance organization can contact Mr Mthembu on 072 9322 or send him an email at ntokozojm@gmail.com
