4+1 taxi drivers do their bit for Mandela Day
Springs Taxi Association's 4+1 committee celebrates another centenarian on Mandela Day.
Zweli Mbonani, head of the 4+1 disciplinary committee, says they find great pleasure in serving the elderly.
“This is our contribution and we hope Gogo Anna is happy.
“We have been hard at work all morning cleaning the house and yard.”
This is done in efforts to show that the drivers are responsible citizens.

“Mandela Day should inspire us to take care of the elders around us, who are often neglected.”
He says the committee is grateful for all the members of the community who are always willing to lend a hand.
“We are always looking out for opportunities to improve on the lives of the vulnerable and less fortunate.”
Last month the committee helped build gogo Elizabeth Mabena (81) a ramp for her wheelchair.
The day was rounded off with a braai and some cake to mark the celebration of Gogo Anna.
Bongiwe, Gogo’s great-granddaughter says the family appreciates the community’s efforts.
“It is overwhelming, and we are grateful to be chosen.
“We hope they continue with the good work and serve others as well.”
