The West Suburbs Roodepoort Neighbourhood Watch (WSRNW) loves to get the community into the Christmas spirit with their Christmas light truck. A favourite tradition for Roodepoort residents, the stunningly decorated truck travels around Roodepoort (mainly Ward 71) to display its colourful lights. Santa is always on board to spread some joy, and to hand out sweets packets to the children and small gifts to the elderly.

This truck is also a way for the Neighbourhood Watch to give back to the community, old age homes and shelters. Approximately 3 000 sweets packets are handed out during the period of the tour.
