She thanked everyone who made the day a success.
“Thank you to the staff, Bruce and Cora Nienaba and everybody else who helped for the day.

Fishaways, Debonairs, Thirsti Waters, Eliza Behle, Newcastle Rehabilitation Centre, Ithemba Security, Hollywood Bollywood – not forgetting the many anonymous people who donated with cash and the teams that did not participate but still blessed us with cash.
