Welcome to the Govan Mbeki Municipality Joint Civil Movement (gmmcivil), a dedicated non-profit organization based in Embalenhle, Mpumalanga, South Africa. Founded in 2019, our movement was born out of a shared commitment among local activists, civil society organizations, and community leaders to uplift and empower the communities within the Govan Mbeki Local Municipality.
At GMM JCM, we stand for social justice, human rights protection, and community empowerment. Our mission is to create a more inclusive, fair, and sustainable society where every individual, regardless of background, has access to the resources, opportunities, and protections they deserve. We work to address the social, economic, and political challenges faced by underserved communities, ensuring that their voices are heard and their rights respected.
In 2019, after witnessing the significant need for a collective effort to improve the quality of life in the Govan Mbeki region, local civil society organizations and community campaigners came together with a shared goal of positive transformation. This collaboration led to the establishment of the Govan Mbeki Municipality Joint Civil Movement (GMM JCM).
The year 2020 marked a significant milestone for our organization. We officially transitioned into a Section 21 Non-Profit Company and continued to evolve, securing Section 12 Non-Profit Organization status. Additionally, our commitment to transparency, accountability, and community-driven action earned us SARS approval as a Section 18/A Public Benefit Organization, and we achieved an accredited B-BBEE Level 01 Specialized (EME) Entity recognition. These steps allowed us to expand our reach and provide even more support to those in need.
At the core of our work is community-driven action. We believe in the power of local communities to create change, and our role is to support and amplify those efforts. Our main objectives include:
