Ward 60 councillor Mark Kleinschmidt hosted over 150 seniors for a festive luncheon at the Lansdowne Civic Centre on Tuesday 12 December.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event was arranged in partnership with the City of Cape Town\u2019s Social Development and Early Childhood Development Directorate and Age in Action. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the event, Kleinschmidt focused on awareness around elder abuse and being vigilant on South African Social Security Agency (Sassa) payout days, sighting a rise in card cloning and scams around this time of year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event aimed to ensure the seniors felt valued for their contribution to society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a bit of fun, some of the seniors participated in a dance competition to receive pot plants. <\/div>\n

\u201cWe want them to continue to be role models in a degenerating society, where morals and manners are no longer at the forefront,\u201d says Kleinschmidt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senior Margaret Adhkari says occasions like these allow seniors to connect and socialise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is also a chance to communicate with each other and meet new people,\u201d says fellow senior Anne Driver. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each resident also received a care package. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
