From the desk of James Moodie - Chief Commissioner of Brigade

In the latest Madireng newsletter, St John shares exciting developments, including a new school division in Johannesburg, the return of Allen Glen High School, and progress with additional schools. Efforts are underway to revive national first aid competitions, a celebrated highlight for the Brigade.

Volunteers are reminded to uphold uniform standards and complete necessary duty documentation.


Stay tuned for upcoming announcements, and a heartfelt thank you to all volunteers for your continued dedication.
