Tents of Sharon hosts party for pensioners

Approximately 200 pensioners from various homes came together for a feast and a party, where they were also given gifts.

Benoni resident and artist JJ Stephens performed a number of songs from the ’50s and ’60s for the pensioners.

“I chose to perform these up-tempo songs because most of them listened to this kind of music during their youth, and I hope it will help them forget about their problems, even if it’s for an hour,” said Stephens.

“On behalf of the Tents of Sharon I would like to thank JJ for performing and supporting us every year, and our sponsors, Martin Büser and Andrew Marx,” said Annatjie Fourie, of the organisation.
