The elderly residents enjoyed the day held in the honour, basking in the warm Spring sun while enjoying nibbles during formalities.
Social workers dedicated to the plight of the basin’s elderly, Zurite Bock and Alicia Goosen, pictured with Thembinkosi Molelo (Strand Magistrates’ Court interpreter) and Vasigay Pillay (Strand Magistrates’ Court manager) and Broidy Ortell (Sencit Resthaven manager). At the event Bock shared the poem “Grandparents are special” during a reading, while Pillay in a special address urged the elderly to speak out against injustices instead of suffering in silence.
Strand police representatives Warrant Officer Nico Beukes and Charlene Bezuidenhout enforced their mandate of bringing services to the elderly. They are pictured with Lilian Albertyn (in her capacity of victim-support volunteer) and Matilda Willemse (representing neighbourhood watch).
