Thereafter, a day of fun and entertainment will take place at the Nasaret Park, where Jumping Castles and food stalls await participants. Both the fun day and fun run are free of charge and open to the public.

Ms van Rooyen appealed to members of the public to assist in their endeavours by making financial donations.

She further reiterated that Mtho is an incredible young man who is deseving of a fair opportunity to develop himself and his future.
