One donation, one step, one share (11 Oct)

One donation, one step, one share. Let’s make October count

Dawie Bosch, Blocktober supporter

We don’t just walk to the King’s Blockhouse in October every year—we walk with purpose. Blocktober is a month‑long, do‑what‑you‑can movement that turns solidarity into practical support for survivors of gender‑based violence. Every rand you give and every step you take helps someone move from safety to stability.

• Quick donate: Ready to help now? Give via BackaBuddy (tip can be set to R0 so you can increase your donation). You can request a tax certificate from to reduce your overall tax.
• Daily target: R11 445. Help us hit it today.
• Can’t give today? Share this post—one share often equals one new donor.

Your donation→ independence for survivors

We’re helping to fund a full-time Entrepreneurship Manager at the Saartjie Baartman Centre (SBC). Why that role? Because leaving abuse is only the first climb; remaining free from abusive relationships requires income. The Entrepreneur Manager will strengthen SBC’s Job Skills Programme and Entrepreneurial Hub—helping survivors accelerate micro‑businesses or connect to jobs. Your donation turns skills into earnings, and earnings into independence.

Alongside the Entrepreneur Manager, a portion of funds will support everyday health and wellness needs of survivors at SBC—including access to the CHIPS community fitness programme—to rebuild strength. Healthy bodies and minds help independence stick.

Who your support reaches

SBC, based in Manenberg, is a one‑stop centre for survivors. Since 1999, its team has provided 24/7 crisis response, safe residential care, psycho‑social support (including children’s counselling), a substance‑abuse programme, and accredited job‑skills training—more than 270,000 women and children supported to date. If you’ve ever wondered whether your help lands somewhere tangible: it lands here, daily.

Progress barometer (as at 11 Oct 2025)

The first chart shows how much has been raised to date against the R450,000 target and the gap remaining; the second shows two futures from 12 October—maintaining the current pace versus shifting to the on-target daily pace needed to reach the October goal.

• Raised in 2024: R167,539

• Raised in 2025 to date: R53,555

• Overall campaign target: R450,000

• Shortfall: R228,906

Trend so far: Average per day in Sept and Oct 2025 to date R1,357/day.

With 20 days left in October, we need ~R11,445 per day to close the R228,906 gap—about 6.9× our current pace. That sounds steep, but it’s doable if more of us give a little (or a lot):

• 229 people at R1,000 each = job done; or

• 115 people at R2,000; or

• 23 partners at R10,000; or

• A combination of these donations!

How we show up together

Donate: Give via Back-a-Buddy (our preferred payment channel since it is easier to track the campaign's progress). You can set the optional platform tip to R0 and use the savings to increase your donation. SA donors can request a tax certificate from SBC, which you can use to reduce taxable income. You could also donate directly to SBC.

Join a walk or another activity: All October, people in Cape Town walk from Vredehoek to the King’s Blockhouse on Devil’s Peak (±300 m ascent over ~7.5 km). Supporters elsewhere do a local equivalent—your city, your hill, or a 31‑minute swim. It’s consistent, communal, and joyful. Join a daily walk, a Tuesday time trial, or a Sunday Solidarity hike. Check the WhatsApp group and add your name to the shared roster.

Small actions, big connections (10 Oct)

Actions and connections

By Janet Purcell, Blocktober walker and integral coach 

The route to the King's Blockhouse from the top of Chelmsford Road is frequented by runners, walkers and cyclists, passing through some lovely fynbos, with big views of Devil’s Peak, city, sea, island, sky. The road is gravel with dongas.  To walk or ride or run it 31 times in a row in solidarity with GBV survivors takes special commitment. Not all of us have the time or physical capacity to do this. To join even as a once-off activity might be all we do. So what might walking these steps with Lala, walking with each other, open up for us ? And what might it open up for us collectively? 

Descending from Blockhouse - what does walking open up for us collectively? 

We might discover that we like downs more than ups or that we love the blooming fynbos. We might spend the hour thinking about arriving at the Blockhouse, not the walk we are doing in the present moment. We might enjoy the wide spaciousness, the freshness of air, the unexpected conversations with people we did not know until that day. We might notice a sense of safety in groups. 

Walking can be rich with possibilities

As a little girl of seven walking with my father from Rhodes Memorial to Kirstenbosch I felt tender connection, as we sing-songed his marching rhyme “I had a good job that I left, left, left, it served me jolly well right, right, right”, half skipping and dancing red faced and sometimes close to tears. I have felt quiet awe on a trail through multitudes of trees in the forests near Knysna, where enormous Outeniqua trees reach upward, ancient wet forests full of ferns chilly with cold beauty, brown rivers, Turacos and stealthy baboons. The possibility of solitude, certain that someone is ahead, and another just behind, but no need to speak, on spongy earth and leaf fall.

This kind of walking opens a powerful reverence for me, a connection to what is bigger and wider and wilder than my small self, and it happens when walking, breathing, sensing, immersed in the space. 

But something else becomes possible when we walk with others, when we synchronise our steps with theirs, when we attune to each other’s steps, breath, pace, tread. It can happen without speaking, and it results in a new sense of connection, of relationship, of empathy, of safety, that isn't about language, that is non-verbal. 

 

Making connections - on way down from Blockhouse

The body as a portal for healing from trauma

Bessel van der Kolk writes extensively about his experiences working with survivors of trauma in his seminal book The Body Keeps the Score, describing forms of therapy that work with the body as a portal for healing from trauma, as it is in the body that trauma is held. Various forms of trauma processing, neurofeedback, theater, meditation, play, and yoga aim to make it safe for trauma victims to inhabit their bodies, and to tolerate feeling what they feel, and knowing what they know, leading to lasting healing. Some of these practices involve mirroring and movement of therapist and patient, or movement in groups, and healing that happens within relationship. 

Small even once-off acts of walking are not unimportant. In the same way that multiple small acts of waste may result in rafts of pollution, I invite you to see walking as a small act of connection that results in webs of positive connections, for yourself and for others. You don't have to do all 31 days, or even donate loads of money. But small acts can be extremely powerful if there are many of us. 

 

Small actions big connections

If we could change the world by only thinking about what we wanted to happen, we’d see a whole lot more positive change. As an integral coach, I try to help people in practical ways to bring desired or necessary changes into their lives. What makes my work integral is the process of bringing our whole selves, our habits in our heads /thinking, hearts/feelings and body/actions into alignment over time to experience real or lasting change. The catch is that we must act with consistency, empathy and insight to bring about change.

Think globally and act locally (9 Oct)

Act against GBV

By Micheline Tusenius, a dual citizen of South Africa and the United States, and a writer living in Washington, D.C.

Gender-based violence is a global scourge. In any country or society, famous people can be perpetrators, celebrities can be survivors; regular people can be perpetrators, everyday people can be survivors. Few escape it.

More often than not though, it’s the powerful who abuse the less powerful, those whom the powerful assume aren’t positioned to resist them or hold them accountable.

 

 

The Managing Director vs the cleaner

A famous example of this dynamic is the case of Dominique Strauss-Kahn. On 14 May 2011, Strauss-Kahn was the head of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and a strong candidate for the next presidency of France. He was departing New York City that morning for Paris. Before leaving for John F. Kennedy International Airport, he encountered Nafissatou Diallo, a housekeeper at the Sofitel Hotel where he was staying. Diallo, an immigrant asylee from Guinea in West Africa, was going about her job—cleaning hotel rooms.

What happened between them is disputed, but what is indisputable is that there was a sexual encounter, which she alleged was sexual assault.

She reported being assaulted to her supervisor and Strauss-Kahn was arrested minutes before his plane took off.

He was indicted on four felonies, including attempted rape and sexual assault, and three misdemeanors, including a charge of unlawful imprisonment. He pleaded not guilty.

The playbook for the powerful in situations like this is always the same: to try to destroy the credibility and dependability of the witness, and to suggest that the charges are a setup or scam, usually to extract money from the alleged perpetrator.

In August 2011, all charges against Strauss-Kahn were dropped as Diallo’s credibility and dependability as a witness were called into question.

Diallo was vulnerable in this regard as she gave different stories about exactly what she did before, during, and immediately after the alleged attack, and her asylum application for the United States was found to contain untruths. She was also taped discussing monetary compensation in a phone call with her Guinean boyfriend who was then in an immigration detention center.

But there were incontrovertible facts: Diallo picked out Strauss-Kahn in a lineup, and DNA tests of semen on Diallo’s shirt corresponded to a DNA sample from Strauss-Kahn.

Clearly, some kind of sexual encounter took place between them, but force or non-consent couldn’t be proven.

Strauss-Kahn resigned as IMF chief four days after his arrest, and he never ran, as it was expected he would, as the Socialist candidate for the French presidency.

Diallo filed a civil suit and the parties settled in 2012, without any admission of liability.

 

On the way up to Blockhouse

The annual Blocktober initiative supporting the Saartjie Baartman Centre (SBC) for Women and Children is an inspiring example of “thinking globally but acting locally.”

I, and many like-minded global citizens, stand in solidarity with you as you support women and children who are made even more vulnerable due to gender-based violence, a universal malady.

Kenyan Blocktober (8 Oct)

A Kenyan cyclist’s journey with Blocktober

By Sam Kagiri, Kenya Blocktober leader and cyclist

Sam Kagiri, Kenyan Blocktober leader in Karura forest at the Wangarĩ Maathai plaque

It all began in 2022, on what seemed like an ordinary Sunday for us cyclists in Kenya. As usual, we were heading to the high-altitude regions to test our endurance and see how far we could push our lungs in the cold, dense air. I was with my friend, Martin Mbutura, and as I made my way to the starting point, I came across Jean du  Plessis, the co-founder of Blocktober. It wasn’t the first time I had seen him as Jean was a familiar face on the cycling scene across the country.

He called out to me and said, “Let’s talk after the race.” After finishing the ride, I went to hear what he had to say, and that was the first time I learned about Blocktober and its mission to raise awareness and take action against Gender-Based Violence (GBV).

As someone raised within the cycling community, I’ve always been grateful for how much the sport has done for me—keeping me focused, safe, and grounded. I’d long dreamed of giving back in a meaningful way. So, when Jean told me about the initiative he had started, I knew immediately that this was my opportunity to contribute to a worthy cause.

A few months later, October finally arrived—the month I had been eagerly waiting for. I shared the idea with my friend Peter Gitu, a fitness enthusiast I’d been cycling with since 2018. He was enthusiastic and told me, “This is a chance to get fit and make a difference. Count me in, Sam.”

That October, we met every morning at KFEET Field in Karura at 6:45 a.m., ready to hit the trails. Our goal was to raise funds for the Saartjie Baartman Centre for Women and Children in South Africa. Jean and I rode every single day that month, with the final three days being extra special—we cycled around Mount Suswa and finished in Naivasha.

“You have the choice not to give up.”

The experience tested my endurance and discipline. By the second week, fatigue had set in, and every morning felt like a battle between my body and my willpower. But I kept reminding myself, “You have the choice not to give up.” Finishing that month was one of my proudest achievements—it strengthened my fitness, my resolve, and my purpose.

Taking the Lead in 2023

Sam Kagiri and Kenya Blocktober Cyclists

The following year, 2023, was bittersweet. Jean was preparing to return home to South Africa and retire from the Kenyan cycling scene. Before he left, we shared a memorable tree planting session in Karura and a farewell dinner.

That October was my first Blocktober as the coordinator for Kenya, and it came with new responsibilities. Not only did I need to ride daily, but I also had to identify a GBV shelter, open a fundraising account on M-Changa, and lead the campaign locally.

With the help of my wife Grace, I connected with Usikimye, a GBV home located in Kayole, Eastlands Nairobi. (“Usikimye” means “Don’t stay silent” in Swahili.) I rode every single day that month while also joining their feeding program, which supports vulnerable children in the surrounding community.

Through that experience, I learned that hunger often drives young boys and girls into dangerous situations, leaving them vulnerable to exploitation. Witnessing the work that Usikimye was doing moved me deeply—it confirmed that every kilometer I rode and every shilling we raised was making a difference. That year’s Blocktober was a great success.

Continuing the Mission in 2024 and 2025

The Watoto Wema Centre supported by Blocktober in Kenya

In 2024, I carried the same passion forward—riding for 31 days, raising awareness, and supporting those affected by GBV under the Blocktober theme: “Listen, Learn, Think, and Act.”

This time, I chose to support Watoto Wema Children’s Home, an organization founded by Marion, a Dutch humanitarian. The home rescues street children, reunites them with their families, and provides education and vocational training in skills such as welding and baking. These programs not only empower the children but also help sustain the home.

During a visit with my friend Dr. Peter Kamunyo, former CEO of the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF), I learned that street children are among the most vulnerable to GBV. Many suffer in silence due to poverty, hunger, and lack of representation or protection.

Unfortunately, Watoto Wema was struggling financially. The transition to the new Social Health Insurance Fund had disrupted healthcare access for the children, school fees had become unaffordable, and some training facilities had been damaged by floods that hit Nairobi. Despite these challenges, their resilience inspired me.

Goal for 2025 Blocktober

This year, my goal remains to raise Ksh 200,000 for Watoto Wema—to help meet their basic needs and keep their programs running. For support you can donate via M-Changa.

Reflection

Looking back, Kenya Blocktober has been more than just a cycling challenge for me—it’s become a mission rooted in compassion, endurance, and community. Every pedal stroke represents hope, awareness, and the belief that we can all play a part in ending gender-based violence.

Changing minds on the mountain (6 Oct)

Trees, fynbos and the King’s Blockhouse

By Dawie Bosch, Blocktober supporter and co-lead of the Vredehoek invasive clearing group.

The story in one walk

Follow the path from Vredehoek to the King’s Blockhouse on Devil's Peak and you pass more than a century of changing ideas about how to care for a mountain. Once you reach the Blockhouse you'll find a weathered plaque honouring a forester who once covered these “barren, stony slopes” with trees. Today, the slopes have now been mostly cleared of the forester's trees (including gums, wattles and pines) so that fynbos and renosterveld can re‑establish—and the work continues. 

This blog traces that turn—why it happened, who is doing the work, and how Blocktober’s Steps for Saartjie ties our steps to something larger than a view. 

And the name, Devil’s Peak? It is allegedly tied to the old Cape legend of Van Hunks, the inveterate pipe‑smoker who allegedly matched wits (and smoke) with the Devil on this very ridge—see one rendition of this story here.

Plaque calling the slopes of Devil's Peak, prior planting of alien trees, “barren".

The plaque and the forester

On a stone wall beneath the King’s Blockhouse a plaque reads “In memory of Forester Frank Jarman… 1893–1902.” It praises Jarman for the “forest work which covered this wind‑swept mountain with trees.” The plaque is fixed to the wall of the house Jarman built and lived in, and concludes that he “found these barren, stony slopes treeless; he left them covered with forest.” Dated November 1904, it captures the "proud" logic of its time: grow timber for a wood‑hungry town, and clothe the mountain in trees.

Early forestry logic

From the 1650s onward, persistent fuel‑wood cutting and fires set the stage for colonial foresters in the late 1800’s to plant quick‑growing European pines and Australian wattles and gums. The goals were practical—construction timber, tanning and fuel—and to transform the mountain to be "aesthetically pleasing": a European idea that a “healthy” mountain looked wooded. And that fires were bad – even evil; after all the pipe that caused the "smoke" on Devil's Peak and Table Mountain was allegedly smoked by the Devil himself.

What we know now: fynbos is diverse life, not “barren”

Modern ecology reframes the picture. Devil’s Peak is naturally fynbos (with  renosterveld on the drier lower rim): low, tough, astonishingly diverse shrubland that evolved with poor soils and periodic fire. Far from empty, it is rich with endemics—proteas, ericas, restios and other species—and the pollinators, seed dispersers and fynbos' parasites that depend on them. Critically, intact fynbos is also water‑wise. Compared with thirsty alien trees, fynbos allows more rain to reach streams and dams—vital for a city that has lived through Day Zero fears.

So the aim shifts: not to plant more forest, but to restore the original vegetation mosaic and keep invasives from re‑seeding. But although the focus shifted, initially the realisation that fire was part of fynbos, did not penetrate the European-trained botanical mindset.

Invasive plantation trees once pressed high up the slopes onto Devil’s Peak around the Blockhouse. Source: Shared by Etienne du Plessis on Flicr, who advised that the photographer is unknown. 

From plantations to restoration on Devil’s Peak

Historic photos show how invasive alien trees once pressed high up the slopes around the Blockhouse, Rhodes Memorial and the rest of Devil's Peak. Over the past few decades, sustained clearing has opened the mountain: first felling, then follow‑up pulls and ring‑barking, and – more recently—careful fire management. You can now read the landscape again—rocky ridges, restio bands, seasonal bulbs and other fynbos species—where dense pine and Port Jackson once crowded out light.

The Sugarbird Project and friends

Today, a network of partners keeps the momentum: including Sugarbird Project teams (with permits, training, PPE and herbicide support) working with SANParks, and volunteer invasive plant clearing hack groups. Our Vredehoek invasives plant clearing group focuses on the Devil’s Peak sector above Vredehoek, and a sister Rhodes Memorial / Newlands group focuses on the area around UCT and Rhodes Memorial up towards the Blockhouse. Port Jackson, hakea, pine and eucalyptus stands have mostly given way, within a couple of seasons, to the natural return of young proteas, ericas, restios and bulbs. It’s repetitive work because seedbanks are stubborn—repeated follow‑up sweeps after the initial clearing, including pulling seedlings and treating resprouts—can protect a decade of recovery.

Walking with purpose: Blocktober and Steps for Saartjie

Every October the Blocktober community walks, runs, rides and swims to the Blockhouse in solidarity with survivors of gender-based violence (GBV). This is our ‘slow‑burn solidarity’: returning to the Blockhouse day after day is deliberately relentless—a reminder that survivors of gender‑based violence face recovery every day; it is not a choice. Link this with Steps for Saartjie during Blocktober, and those kilometres turn into support for the Saartjie Baartman Centre for Women and Children—including an Entrepreneurial Hub and the proposed Entrepreneur Manager post that will help survivors build income and independence.

One route, two solidarities: your steps can be Steps for Saartjie and steps for the mountain—supporting people rebuilding their lives and crews restoring fynbos.

Practical ways to help

• Join a Sugarbird hack (current focus areas, after the recent fire, are Silvermine, or Tokai).

Sunday solidarity walks (5 Oct)

Sunday Solidarity Walk with Saartjie Baartman

Today was this year's first October Sunday Solidarity Walk with Saartjie Baartman, part of our month-long Blocktober action against gender based violence (GBV). We walked in good spirits enjoying the beauty of the mountain and the joy of exercise.

Sunday Solidarity Walkers reach the Blockhouse. Taken from behind to protect the survivors of GBV in the group.

On our way up to the Blockhouse

·        The Saartjie Baartman Centre (SBC) for Women and Children, located in Manenberg Cape Town since 1999, manages a 24-hour crisis response pro­gramme, residential shelter / housing for abused women and children, psycho-social support including children’s counselling, a sub­stance abuse programme, accredited job-skills training and access to entrepreneurial opportunities.

·        Since 1999, SBC has supported over 270,000 women and child survivors of gender based violence. The Centre also reaches millions in its outreach and advocacy work.

·        One of the key challenges faced by women, when they return home, is to be financially independent.

·        The Saartjie Baartman Entrepreneurial Hub, supported by the Kolisi Foundation, shares POWER2YOU safety bags, designs bespoke beaded bracelets (sold via Black Betty, a South African based jewellery studio), and provides diverse Skills Training. Organisations that offer their clients job placements include the retail stores Spar and Woolworths.

·        Much more action is needed in these and other areas.  

·        Saartjie Baartman will be able to scale up entrepreneurial opportunities for women by employing a full time Entrepreneur Manager.
