Shoppers and tenants enjoyed switching on the Christmas lights in a little ceremony initiated by Ward 23 Clr Sarah Wissler who reminded shoppers and tenants that the festive season is not only about receiving presents but it’s about the special people in your life who give you gifts. This could be family, friends, your partner or anyone you consider to be special to you. Take the time to be grateful for all those people.

IN CHARGE: Members of the JMPD, Mondeor SAPS and Kibler Park Fire Station stand with Ward 23 Clr Sarah Wissler (centre) at the launch of the Mall of the South Festivities.
