The competition ran during February and called on entrants to send the City Times their Valentine’s Day stories, after which the best was chosen.
The winner won a pendant to the value of R2 000, sponsored by Hayward Diamonds, situated at the Lakeside Mall.
Chipo Khumbula, who won the prize, wrote the following:
“As Valentine’s Day approached I tried to think of an unusual gift for my husband.
“When I discovered that his favourite red plaid pants had a broken zipper, I thought I had the ‘perfect’ Valentine”.
“I had the pants repaired and gift-wrapped them.
“On the package I put a huge red heart on which I printed, ‘My heart pants for you.’”
“I was the surprised one, however, when I saw the same heart taped to our formerly empty but now overflowing wooden box.
“On it he had written, ‘Wood you be my Valentine?’”
