At least 100 senior citizens from Ward 37 in Nyanga had the opportunity to breathe fresh air with the smell of the ocean when they went on an outing to Muizenberg Civil Hall.
The “capacity building” outing took place on
Thursday 18 May and was organised as part of the ward allocation budget for the
ward. It was designed to capacitate and educate senior citizens about their
rights and health.
Different departments that attended the
occasion such as the South African Social Security Agency (Sassa) and the
City’s Department of Social Development, Sub-council 13 delegates and a
representative from one of the leading banks in the country.
Councillor Sandile Martin said they felt the need
to take them out so that they may be empowered and also ease them of their
stress.
