\u201cEveryone who participated in the walk received a medal, a bottle of water and the EMPD ensured the safety of our walkers on the roads. This was all made possible by every sponsorship we received and the success of the market was due to all our supportive community members,\u201d said Carreira.<\/p>\n

Ward 36 councillor Wendy Morgan and her DA party members also had a unique stall at the fund-raiser, urging people to remember to check their voting registration details and re-register had they recently moved, ahead of the general elections next year.<\/p>\n

All funds will be used to maintain the centre.<\/p>\n
