Kingsburgh Child and Family Welfare receives a car
While a local businessman was donating foodstuffs to the welfare during Mandela Day, he also vowed to purchase them a car.
THE Kingsburgh Child and Family Welfare (KCFW) were recently given a run-around car, to enable them to efficiently service the community.
Clayton Wayne and Aubrey Ngcobo of Ibhubesi Inkosi, and André Beetge of Amanzimtoti Lions, delivered the car to the welfare, along with R5 000 for fuel, one year’s paid-for insurance and light bulbs fitted by Dees Motor Spares.

The welfare originally approached Clayton and told him about their needs as an organisation, after losing sponsorship from large businesses. Thereafter, as a part of Mandela Day activities, he and André delivered a large donation of foodstuffs, R10 000 to cover fuel costs and a promise of a car.
The welfare’s chairperson, Jenny Smith said, “The quote ‘as you run along, don’t run alone, turn around and take somebody’s hand to journey with you’ by Don Mattera, has certainly been our experience during Mandela Month.
Our sincere thanks to Clayton Wayne and Aubrey Ngcobo for their fantastic donation of a car to our society and André Beetge, who facilitated on our behalf of the Amanzimtoti Lions, for the donation of one year’s insurance for the vehicle and so much more.”
Smith added that the future of the welfare is looking bright. “Our vision is to be a landmark in our community, as trusted leaders focused on sustainable growth. We hope the public will follow our journey with us,” she said.
The Amanzimtoti Lions challenge other service organisations, to also take into consideration that there will be future insurances and immediate needs for fuel. “We challenge you to match what we have done to help the welfare,” said Beetge.
