Children receive Christmas gifts
The objective of the event was to ensure that children have a bright Christmas.
The DA, under the leadership of Councillor Ruth Shabalala, hosted a Christmas party for the children of ward 8 in Tembisa.
The party was held on Saturday last week.
Clr Shabalala received gift donations from GloInGiving, lunch and 120 wrapped gifts for children according to their gender and ages.
The event was held at Emangweni Primary School.
The objective of the event was to ensure that children have a bright Christmas. When the children were identified, it did not matter which political parties their parents supported but were rather seen as the future of South Africa.
Pastor Asanda opened with a sermon that inspired the children. No matter where they come from, they can become the leaders of tomorrow.
MPL Refiloe Nt’sekhe also spoke to the children and parents, saying it is important to ensure that when children report abuse, the parents believe them and report the matter.
She also highlighted the message of creating awareness about 16 Days of Activism against violence against women and children.
“Women and children must be safe in their communities and in their homes. People must partner with the police to make their communities free of abusers,” said MPL Nt’sekhe.
