Stephanie Haajem, of Bedfordview and Germiston SPCAs charity ladies, said the group of volunteers raise funds for the local SPCA.
The group raises funds by running the SPCAs charity shop, hosting book sales, hosting events and selling items at local markets.
Stephanie said the group raised R168 659.50 last year.
“Most of us are retirees. We are passionate about helping animals,” said Stephanie.
“None of us can sit around and do nothing.”
The funds raised are used to cover general costs such as maintenance, vet bills and renovations at the Bedfordview and Germiston SPCA.
