When bookworms and beach-bodies collide

Emalahleni Housing Company (EHC) recently hosted their regular Fit Camp at Highveld Mall; however, this time they added a charitable spin.

On April 27, the lawns in front of Mugg & Bean hummed with the excited babbling of fitness-bunnies who had gathered to partake – to one side stood two piles of books and a box.

EHC, in collaboration with World of Wellness, asked perspiring participants to open their hearts and donate old (or new) books before the workout started.

The day was a striking success – with hundreds of calories burnt and many books donated.

The donated reading material will be given to Hlalanikahle Library of Hope.
