The patrollers of AfriForum’s Boksburg neighbourhood watch are offering their services to frail and elderly residents in the city during the coronavirus state of emergency.
The patrollers will do the elderly’s shopping and pay their accounts for them, which will lower their risk for coming into contact with any infected citizens.
Helen Bergh, chairperson of AfriForum’s Boksburg branch, said the service is free of charge.
