About Masincedane (Founded 1992)

Masincedane Community Service was founded in 1992 as a concerned response to the needs of the people then living in the informal settlement at Waterkloof in the Helderberg area. The initial needs, as identified by the Waterkloof community, included employable skills training and health services.

During October 1995, the organisation presented the first training courses but soon realised that skills training was needed as the learners could not find nor keep jobs. This resulted in the launch of Masi’s employment agency (training and linking workers with employers) and which has since grown into a well utilised facility in the Helderberg area. The organisation also continued with their Home-Based Care (healthcare) activities and in 1998 the Department of Health (PAWC) subsidised the first group of eight workers. Food Preparation training now forms part of Masi’s Home Based Care program.

The number of Home Based Care workers now employed by Masincedane in partnership with the Department of Health has grown to more than 100. These carers are supervised by five professional nurses in partnership with the Department of Health. In addition to Home Based Care, Masincedane became responsible in 2012 for the Department of Health HIV/TB program in the Helderberg. The HIV/TB program involves some 70 workers. Some work in Public Health Clinics as Counsellors whilst others work in the community giving support to HIV+and TB clients.
