Readers can enter these local heroes for the NEWS/West Pack Lifestyle Hero of the Month competition.
Nominate a person you think is a hero and put them in line to win a R1 000 West Pack Lifestyle voucher to spend as they wish.
Think of the people who are doing good for our community.
It could be the person improving our environment, helping animals or running soup kitchens or even those filling the odd pothole or pick up litter over the weekend.
Don’t forget our public servants, care workers, NPO workers or teachers and business people who have hearts of gold and care for the less fortunate and care about our towns.
