CARROLL SHAW MEMORIAL CENTER “Cherish your vision, cherish your ideals, cherish life, music that stirs your heart. The beauty that forms in your mind, the love that drapes your purest thoughts, if you remain true to them, your world will at last be built.” The Carroll Shaw Memorial Center (CSMC) is a multi-faceted Alcohol and Drug Regeneration Program. It was created out of a need to provide Christian therapy to those addicted and in need of rehabilitation. It is located in Zuurebekom, South Africa. While the aforementioned program remains a main focus of Carroll Shaw, the program has expanded to incorporate several other critical services to its service community. Additional programs are presently being offered in Skills Training, Educare, HIV/AIDS Day Care, and Home Based Care.

The spiritual, moral and corporate leader of this wonderful effort is the Reverend T. Zacharia Motaung who also pastors the Kagiso (peace) Baptist Church. The Carroll Shaw Memorial Center provides service to the following cities: Suurbekom, Carletonville, Randfontein, Krugersdrop, Roodepoort, Soweto, and Lenasia. Reverend Motaung and his staff oversee the extensive daily Carroll Shaw Activities at the Brandvlei Farm and Thusong Center.
