Iyoni Creek residents get up and moving
To add to the fun, residents were encouraged to dress up and prizes were awarded to Marcelle Kadish (best-dressed lady) and Clive Cubitt (best-dressed man).
An atmosphere of fun and happiness could be found at Rand Aid’s Inyoni Creek retirement village when the village held a spring walk and staff did the Jerusalema dance.
Held on September 16, 44 walkers took part, including Brian Stevens, Doris Ferri and Beryl O’Donnell, who are in their 90s.
Four routes were offered: a 750m walk, mainly for those using walking aids, 1km, 2km and 4km options.
The 4km was by far the most popular.

“Walkers were encouraged to practise social distancing and after burning some calories, everyone enjoyed a prego roll,” said Inyoni Creek manager Jenny Tonkin.
To add to the fun, residents were encouraged to dress up and prizes were awarded to Marcelle Kadish (best-dressed lady) and Clive Cubitt (best-dressed man).
“Our residents are pleasingly fit, probably because of the walking they did during lockdown to counteract their cabin fever,” said Jenny.
The Jerusalema dance was done in response to a challenge made by Rand Aid’s Ron Smith Care Centre, which urged other Rand Aid care centres and retirement villages to join the global craze started by local artist Master KG.
It has become a global sensation and videos of people dancing to the hit are spreading smiles far and wide.
