Market brings welcome boost to Lilianton enclosure project
The market was again a success.
The Lilianton Residents’ Enclosure Committee’s community market at the New Apostolic Church on September 2 raised R8 000.
The NPO held the fundraiser for the proposed enclosure of the suburb.
One of the organisers, Charlene Day, said she was delighted with the outcome of the market, adding they have now raised about R20 000 between this market and the previous one.
“People still came out to support us, even though there were other markets in the area.”
The sources of income included stand fees and raffle tickets.
The South African National Blood Service collected 16 units of blood at the market. Their target was 20.

Day highlighted the tender was open for 30 days and they received quotes.
Moreover, Ekurhuleni was furnished with their 20% guarantee cheque. The wayleave application also got approved.
The Gazette notice was published on August 30.
Day also received final signatures on the way leave from the energy department, stormwater department and roads department for construction to commence.
They will start erecting fences this September.
