The club which is based in Siyathemba and operates from a unit at the Micro Industrial Offices Centre in Siyathemba, was formed during 1997 with the purpose of providing comprehensive community based care and support services and to promote independent living and active aging to over thirty older persons from the area.
“The daily routine involves devotion, breakfast, life skills, engaging in physical exercise, handwork and gardening, lunch, playing indigenous games and cleaning. The Centre provides nutritious food to keep beneficiaries strong and healthy while the social interactions and sporting activities keep their self-esteem high,” municipal spokesperson Phindile Sidu said.
She added that Council has approved the allocation of land for this purpose during the a Council Meeting which took place on May 3, as DLM believes that it is important to contribute towards the attainment of the best possible standard of life of the elderly by promoting their physical, mental, social and emotional well-being.
Members of Asibambaneni Luncheon Club could not contain their excitement when executive mayor Mafunda Makhubu and acting municipal manager Conny Mametja delivered the good news on June 4.
