Eighty-one-year-old Ouma B (Beryl Schaupp) is happy after bringing cheer to children this festive season.<\/p>\n
The idea to host a Christmas party for the children at Siyabonga Children\u2019s Home came after the pensioner bought some wool and crocheted beanies and sold them.<\/p>
With the money she bought fruit for underprivileged children and then after selling some more she bought cold drinks.<\/p>\n
When she won a bit money gambling she thought what better way to give back than by bringing Christmas joy to children.<\/p>
She settled on the idea of spoiling the children from Siyabonga and from there the party started to take shape.<\/p>\n
William von Vught came on board to assist, as did Charles Prinsloo, the owner of a local pharmacy, and Murphy\u2019s Pub and Grill.<\/p>\n
