Teddy Run in aid of child abuse

The public can attend a fun-filled day with live entertainment, a car and bike show, speed and sound displays, food stalls and a flea market.

The event is in its sixth consecutive year, but was previously held in Witbank, Mpumalanga.

The organiser, Andries Ferreira, said the teddies that are collected on the day will be distributed to organisations that care for abused children.

“Some of the toys will also be handed over to specialised units of the SAPS,” he added.

“This is also an opportunity for the public to stand up and say no to child abuse.”

People who plan to attend the Teddy Run are requested to bring a along a teddy bear or any other soft toy.
