The Victoria Park Neighbourhood Watch (VPNW) team (pictured) organised a community Careers Day at Greyville Park in Victoria Park on Saturday 19 October to bring residents and businesses together. The event was planned for three months and included various activities for those attending, such as horse rides, a K9 Unit demonstration and fire truck tours. The event also featured speeches from community leaders and representatives from the University of Johannesburg, who distributed study materials to interested residents. Food, drinks and party packs were provided for those attending, and the event was a success, with many expressing their appreciation and requesting that it become an annual event. VPNW chairperson Ben Venter extended a word of thanks and appreciation to every sponsor who made the day a success, including the City of Cape Town, Lee le Roux, SPAR Lion Square, ACDC, ADT, Vetus Schola and Wash n Vac mobile car wash.
