A total of 50 Blankets were gifted to the elderly people who were present on the day and a list of those whose names were not submitted were noted down as they will be catered for at a later stage.
The purpose the event was to encourage and remind elderly people that the association is there for them whenever they are in need.
This initiative has been ongoing for the past years and was only interrupted by the Covid 19 pandemic when people were unable to meet.
The women’s desk bounced back last year 2021, continuing from were they left off during the pandemic with other initiatives including this one with the help of VUKTA Association leadership making such projects a success.

We are grateful to Mr Fanyana Maleleza (Chairperson of Vukta) along with his Executive for the support they give to the women’s desk”, said Mrs Sbongile Mnisi Maseko, Chairlady of the VUKTA women’s desk.
