A candidate for Keetmanshoop Urban in the last regional election, Blaauw has been involved in the protection of Keetmanshoop State Hospital since 2020. It was meant to help patients on anti-retroviral and tuberculosis medication and those struggling with a balanced diet.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople eat properly when they are admitted to the hospital but once they are discharged, they can\u2019t afford and that\u2019s when the garden will fall in,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

So far, the tomato and cabbage seeds have been planted and their fruits are being awaited. Once the garden has grown big the committee will be looking at selling some of the produce to local businesses to sustain itself.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe garden has the capacity to sustain itself and grow bigger with time,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n
