Redpath Mining Contractors and Engineers - Africa’s Post

This Women’s Month, Redpath Mining South Africa proudly continues our #ShareYourSpark campaign, where we celebrate the incredible women within our organisation by sharing their stories, passions, and inspirations. These narratives highlight the unique ways in which Redpath’s women are making a positive impact in their communities and beyond. Today, we are excited to share the inspiring story of Mariaan Scheepers (Project Coordinator), who, alongside her friend, Thea Smit, is deeply passionate about animal protection. Mariaan recently spent time at the Woodrock CatCafe, a haven for rescued cats where visitors, especially children, can interact with these feline friends in a joyful and supportive environment. While at the CatCafe, Mariaan was moved by the presence of 12 rescue cats from Virginia, her hometown, who now reside at the café. The experience not only reinforced her love for animals but also sparked a dream shared with Thea to start a similar initiative in the George-Mossel Bay area. Although this dream is still in its early stages, with Thea’s husband actively searching for a suitable location, Mariaan’s passion for animal welfare continues to drive her vision. Inspired by the positive impact that places like the Woodrock CatCafe have on communities, Mariaan is committed to creating a space where both people and animals can thrive. Through her dedication to this cause, she hopes to leave a lasting legacy of compassion and care for animals in her community.
