#ThrowbackThursday – 17 July 1987

The Herald goes back, way back, to 17 July 1987, for this week’s #ThrowbackThursday.

It’s #ThrowbackThursday and the Herald went back in time to 17 July 1987 to see what was in the news.

On the front page of this edition we covered a story about Randfontein Friendship Haven, a home for the elderly that was adding 62 residential units to its facility.

To catch up and find what has been happening at the facility, we spoke to Sister Helea Eilers, head of nursing at the Friendship Haven.

In the interview with the Herald, Sister Eilers told us about how the facility has developed and is continuing to provide our elderly citizens with good care.

Other news that made headlines at the time includes:
