about

African Tails - Saving our Street Dogs

make a difference in your own backyard
... by letting your new best friend dig it up

African TailsNoMU is proud to be a supporter of a fantastic, local charity initiative called ‘African Tails.’

African Tails is a non-profit organisation that focuses on improving and saving the lives of local township dogs here in Cape Town. This extraordinarily energetic and caring group of young professionals have dedicated any remaining spare time they have to fostering, homing and caring for abandoned and abused street dogs who are desperate to love someone and also just to be loved.

Whether it’s finding a puppy a loving new home, feeding a starving stray, curbing the cycle of over-population through regular sterilisation campaigns or simply euthanasing an animal in incurable pain, African Tails is doing its best to write new stories of hope and triumph in the places that truly need them most.

NoMU is very proud to be associated with African Tails and we are thrilled to be helping out in our own small way to make some very big differences to the lives of these animals. As the saying goes, everything has to begin somewhere!

why african tails?

African Tails There is another reason why we chose African Tails as a charity group to work with.

 NoMU’s factory is situated near Cape Town International Airport which, in turn, is also situated along side an informal settlement called "Khayelitsha". These settlements are often situated near to our bigger cities, often alongside industrial areas and usually provide informal housing in the form of basic shacks and very rough shelters. Life is hard for the many hundreds of thousands of impoverished South Africans who make their home in these areas. Life is even harder and often utterly brutal for the animals that live among the residents.

AngelaOur journey to work takes us daily past these settlements and we have often witnessed first hand the plight of these animals who are often to be seen scratching for anything they can find to eat on the side of the road, usually among the piles of rubbish and waste, often being struck and killed by passing vehicles.

Apart from a nominal monthly contribution, NoMU also likes to provide gift boxes to various volunteer groups who give freely of their time to help and when a new doggie is homed, we send them along with a tin of our NoMU Sweet Rub as a little 'house-warmer'.

meet our very own rescue pup!

Even our own mutt, TAG, was a rescue pup.
He was rescued, at five weeks old and almost dead, from the side of the road, outside a popular, Cape Town coffee shop and has grown into a boisterous and loving member of our family.
