The SANBS will be hosting a blood drive at the Daveyton Mall parking lot on Friday, December 21, from 10am to 3pm.
Nicolle Kairuz, speaking on behalf of the SANBS, said during the festive season road accidents and other casualties increase and blood reserves in South Africa remain at critically low levels, despite the country’s youth making up almost 50 per cent of the population.

“Alarmingly, less than one per cent of South Africans regularly donate blood, and with one person donating blood, this can save a minimum of three lives,” said Kairuz.
Kairuz added that YFM DJs will also make an appearance to support the blood drive initiative.
