The Johannesburg Older Person’s Forum (JOPF) hosted their JOPF King and Queen 2018 at the Coronationville recreation centre on May 25. The event started off with speeches and then the seniors from Survivor Senior Club took to stage to do their welcome item.
Ward Councillor Genevieve Sherman gave a speech and then a fitness item from the South African Senior Fitness Association was rendered on stage.
Nomhlobo Jwambi from the Johannesburg Social Development said; “the seniors are here today to showcase their talent and the JOPF was responsible for this event. I would like to single out Mrs Dorothy Rosenburg who is the oldest executive member on the forum and I love her so much, she along with her team made all of this possible today.”
