Tarentaal retirement village driver Samson Mogadi and the village’s trusty golf cart, aka the Bunny Express, gave delivery services a run for their money on April 9.
Determined not to let the Easter weekend be a lonely and uneventful time for residents, management of the Rand Aid village organised a wonderful surprise.
Samson slowly drove the Bunny Express, which was loaded with hot cross buns from block to block and the traditional Easter treats were handed out to all residents.
Keeping a couple of metres away because of social distancing, the housekeeping staff accompanied the Bunny Express, singing and dancing for the entertainment of residents.
“We felt we had to do something special for all our residents during the challenging lockdown,” explains deputy manager Laetitia Goosen. “Residents felt very special and some became quite emotional.”
All Tarentaal’s office staff and management were involved, as was Rand Aid social worker Ulricka Beukman.
