SEBOKENG. – Big Save Evaton recently held a 5km fun walk for the elderly in conjunction with The Gauteng Provincial Government Department of Sports, Arts, Culture and Recreation, and Evaton Hub.

Nkhatho adds that they hope to make the event an annual one.
Sports Promotions officer Paul Makhale says, “The event was in line with the Active Ageing Programme.
“We are trying to promote healthy living amongst the elderly.
We at the department are very happy at the outcome of the event and hope that it will become an annual event.
