“I would like to take this opportunity to say a huge thank you to the shopping centres and their management for the space I was able to utilise for the collection of the handbags – Glen Acres Spar, Cavendish Glen, Glen Balad Mall and Elgin Mall. The response from the public has been amazing.

“Thank you to the public who responded. Thank you to all the people that have said they will still collect and contact us to collect from them,” Suné said.

She will only be in Kempton Park on three more occasions and will then move to Boksburg and Benoni.

“As the winner of Lady Gracious Teen, I would like to promote and support the, as I call it, Handbag Project. This is a current project that is done on a small scale, of which my school, Curro Serengeti, is a small part of.

“This project collects second-hand handbags which is then filled with items such as a facecloth, soap, perfume/deodorant, tissues, wet wipes, sanitary towels, a sweet treat, a Bible and or book of encouragement and a small gift.

She will be at the following centres on Saturday:

n Edleen Spar from 9am to 12.30pm,

n Van Riebeeck Park Pick n Pay from 2pm to 5pm and

n The NG Kerk Bonaero Park’s bazaar from 5pm to 7pm.
