Huge linen donation to Centenary House

Residents and management of Centenary House in Polokwane, run by the Association for Persons with Disability (APD) Limpopo, were ecstatic when a private hospital donated what seemed like a mountain of linen to the home on Monday.
According to Lawrence Mkhombo, key stakeholder manager at the hospital, this was the third such donation in the past few weeks. “We also donated linen to the SPCA Polokwane and Reakgona Adult Centre in Seshego,” he said.
He explained that as a private hospital, it was essential to ensure that items such as linen are replaced regularly. “Although this linen is used, it is still in very good condition and we just didn’t have the heart to throw it out,” he explained.
Christa van der Walt, director of APD Limpopo, expressed her gratitude and said the linen would be extremely useful and would also be utilised during outreach programmes.
