They describe a ‘Springs Good Citizen’ as someone who, “through their actions, brings hope to Springs by creating a safer, cleaner and more caring town for all without compensation or reward”.

A good citizen is driven by a passion to do the right thing through their actions and are an example to the youth and are of good citizenship.

In partnership with Springs Mall, the Addie and an international insurance company, HopeHill has rewarded four good citizens since August.

Tony De Cruz, Kat-titude, Mark Watson and Cathy van Heerden stood the chance of winning the ultimate prize for the night.

The winnings included a R2 000 cash prize, R1 000 worth of Springs Mall vouchers and half a page of advertising for their charity of choice.

As voted by the public, the Springs Good Citizen of the Year Award went to Kat-titude.

Tanya Kitching, Mandy Thorpe, Lynsey Russell and Shireen Vlaming are the women behind the wonderful initiative.

The group takes care of feral cats in and around Springs.

“The cash prize will go into the vet account,” says Kitching.

Part of the organisation’s work includes the sterilisation of the cats to prevent the colonies from getting bigger.
