Ward 74 councillor Thulane Simelane and an Ekurhuleni-based security company recently visited the Impumelelo Self Help Centre for Quadriplegics to carry out some maintenance work.
Simelani said this was a follow-up visit following the festive season when they assisted with a deep cleaning of the centre in partnership with the Department of Health.
“While we were cleaning late last year, we discovered that their ceiling was not in a good state and it needed paint. We decided to come together to buy paint and do the work,” said Simelane.

He told the Advertiser the local company also donated blankets to the home.
Local security company manager David Ramolotja said since they are a service provider, they wanted to make a difference.
“Winter is about to approach us and it is already cold. There are about seven people who live in this home and we came in with blankets. We want to make sure they are warm.
“Our purpose is not only business but to assist in the community where we can. Impumelelo is close to our heart and since there was a need we just responded,” said Ramolotja.
Simelane thanked the community members who assisted in painting the home.
