Rugby Legends scrum down for charities
Tonnes of donations were received for two local Lowveld homes after a charity drive that was put together by the South African Rugby Legends Association and Joubert en Seuns last Saturday morning.
The association had contacted Joubert en Seuns asking it to take part in the event and nominate two charities that could use some help.
Brumilde Joubert of Joubert en Seuns said they chose the Silverdae Old Age Home in Waterval Boven as well as Wenakker, a home for the intellectually disabled in Lydenburg.

“Loads of local businesses contributed and sponsored items for these homes. The wish lists we received were fulfilled, which is jaw-dropping,” Joubert said.
“The legends also held a rugby clinic in Ngodwana, and Sappi was one of the main sponsors of the event.” She added that many rugby legends came out on Saturday to help pack the trucks for the homes needing donations.
“Ian Macintosh, Wynand Olivier, Jacques Potgieter, Marc Watson, Ryan Kankowski, Piet Joubert, Dick Muir, John Allan, and many more were there to help. It was incredible.”
