Celebrating Youth Day with colour
“Community members thoroughly enjoyed themselves this year.”
This year the Edenvale community in partnership with My Community Colour Run celebrated Youth Day with bright colours and a 5km run.
The colour run which started at the Edenvale Sports Ground snaked through the town and made its way along Van Riebeeck Avenue.
Sthembiso Kubheka, an organiser of the event, said roughly 200 people participated in the event.
He said this year’s event was the first of its kind in Edenvale.
“These events are always held in the North, we wanted to determine if the Edenvale community would be interested in it,” said Kubheka.

Kubheka said 20 per cent of the event’s ticket sales went to Edenvale Child and Family Welfare Society.
In addition to the colour run, community members enjoyed the musical talents of the Bambanani Brass Band and Smoke and Liquid.

Members of the Edenvale Youth Desk also took part in the walk.
“Next year we would like to host a bigger event and have more local musicians performing,” said Kubheka.
