Phuthaditjaba gets food donation
ALEXANDRA – Rather than going to waste, we decided to give it to deserving members of our communities, says Sun International.
Alexandra’s Phuthaditjaba Centre in 17th Avenue was one of the beneficiaries of perishable food worth more than R160 000 from Sun International.
The food donations came from the temporary closure of some of the hotel chain’s kitchens following the re-introduction of the stricter Level 4 lockdown in the face of rising Covid-19 figures in the country.

“Instead of the food going to waste, the many kilograms of fruit and vegetables from various Sun International kitchens has now been used to feed those in our communities who are most vulnerable to poverty – children and the elderly,” said Heidi Edson, Sun International’s group socio-economic development manager.
