Joy at Jacob’s Farm
The event was a joyful occasion with singing, passionate and inspiring speeches and many residents joining in singing and dancing.
As part of Mandela Day, Springs police, McDonald’s and Springs Mall partnered up to help residents in Jacob’s Farm on Thursday.
Jacob’s Farm is in an extremely remote area on the outskirts of Springs, and many residents there have no electricity.
A small JoJo tank is their only water supply and they lack many basic services, such as ambulances and fire trucks.

“They deserve our help as much as anyone else.”
