“We were able to bring joy to over 480 children in our area. We had multiple stop-and-distribute points, where Father Christmas handed the children the goodies and took pictures.
“The initiative was well-received by all. This will definitely be an annual event that the community can look forward to,” he said.
Govender said they also thanked all the stakeholders that contributed towards making it a successful and enjoyable day.
The stakeholders included the Montclair Crime Eye, 58 Durban Air Scouts, Montwood Ratepayers’ Association, Ward 64 councillor Gavin Hegter, Durban South Security, Blue Security, Montclair CPF and Montclair police.
“The event not only united the community but unified key role-players within the community.”
