The community embraced the season of good will and the donations will help in the continuity of the Mayor’s office’s efforts to assist the less privileged members of the community.

Speaking during the launch, His Worship, Cllr. C. Maboke reiterated the need for members of the community to answer to the plight of the less privileged. ‘I therefore call upon each and everyone of us to come forth and make sure that we assist each other to shape our future and our city’, he said.

All the proceeds will be channeled towards the less privileged within our communities
