If you’ve tried the rest, now settle for THE BEST. We aim to serve with dedication.
THE FAMILY CONNECTION COUNSELLING
Every family goes through some challenges occasionally. Far too often families are torn apart due to miscommunication, lack of understanding or not having a mediator. Families go through losses: deceased loved ones, failed finances or marriages, loss of jobs, low self-esteem, GBV and rape, experiencing verbal, emotional and physical trauma – sometimes leading to the ultimate price to pay: SUICIDE.
The FAMILY CONNECTION offers counselling services to individuals and families who have experienced an event that requires emotional, psychological intervention by our multi-disciplinary team including psychologists, social workers, legal advisors, counsellors and religious guidance counsellors.
A family should not be torn apart due to misunderstandings. United we stand – Divided we fall. Let’s strive to maintain unity through effective counselling.

We launched with great fanfare and due to unforeseen circumstances (including Covid – 19 pandemic) we regrettably had to close our popular catering services.

The choice is yours: “Lekker Huis-kos” / Michilin Star / Cordon Bleu Menu ….. your wish is our command.
MUSLIM REVERT SOCIETY
At 18, Roland Browers embraced a new faith and became Rif’at Browers, guided by a strong support structure. After five years, he noticed many new Muslims struggled with limited guidance and family ostracism. This inspired him to create the Muslim Revert Society.
Launched with the support of Faizel Porter and promoted by the Islamic radio station Voice of the Cape, the Society is not aimed at promoting Islam, but at educating those interested in understanding the faith.
The Society provides a friendly, simplified, and non-judgmental environment for reverts, teaching the basic principles, teachings, and practices of Islam.
Our Revert Classes – “Islam for Beginners” are completely free and open to both males and females. Plans are underway to launch a Youth Group, offering part-time and full-time studies, ensuring ongoing support and community for those embracing Islam.
