Local pub owner gives back

LOOKING for a way to help both the environment and his community, owner of the local pub “Captain Bucks” Cornelius Aveling did his bit for Vryheid last week.
This local collected all the glass, cans and plastic bottles left by customers after consumption of beverages at his pub to the local recycling area in exchange for a few rands.
Instead of keeping this money, Cornelius decided to take a further step and give to a local charity.
The lucky charity was Vryheid Child Welfare and they were highly grateful for the donation, which they said would help them buy food to feed destitute families in Vryheid.
“I would like to challenge all local businesses to do the same. This helps keep our environment clean and we can give back to our community,” said Cornelius.
