Primrose community showered with festive season magic
The magic and love of Christmas shared with the Primrose community.
The Primrose community enjoyed a lovely Christmas drive, courtesy of Mamba Security recently.
This year’s Mamba Christmas Drive featured the company’s staff, Red Bin Brigade members, Emer-G-Med (Pty) Ltd and Primrose SAPS staff along with a number of community members.
Clad in fun costumes resembling fictional character, the guests gave out sweets to the children at various schools.
The festivities rolled in with a bang in Primrose, before heading to Edenvale, Bedfordview and Boksburg, with the drive sharing some magic with over 50 schools this year.
