Old Joe dons his Christmas look

The Lowveld landmark known as Old Joe on the N4 outside Mbombela has been repainted in the Christmas spirit.

Old Joe can now be seen wearing his Christmas look for this year.

Wouter de Witt, better known as artist, Ghost, has repainted the landmark as a snowman holding presents and with a Christmas cap on his head.

The back shows the written words, “Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!” as well as the bible verse Romans 6 verse 23 written on the present.

“It’s to remind us about the true meaning of Christmas: the birth of our Saviour.”

TRAC sponsored the painting of Old Joe, as it has done for the past couple of years.
