Festive cheer in aid of iThemba

Manager of the guesthouse, Melissa Barnard, said she met iThemba’s vice-chairman, Carl Schultz, at a business function earlier this year and thought the organisation was a worthy cause.

The cosy social event offered its guests unlimited gluhwein around crackling fires, a warm meal, and live music performed by Bryan Chubb.

Guests were also encouraged to bring along items to donate to iThemba, such as non-perishable goods and blankets for winter.

Chief social worker of iThemba, Jath van der Westhuizen, attended the event.
