Spend 67 minutes on the ZO line
Join the ZO’s ‘Hang out with Madiba’ campaign on 18 July
THE Zululand Observer is gearing up to erect the longest charity washing line ever in Empangeni and Richards Bay on Monday, 18 July.
Putting it all out on the line for charity, the ZO’s annual ‘Hang out with Madiba’ campaign on Nelson Mandela International Day gets underway from 8am to 3pm.
Washing lines will be erected in front of the newspaper’s offices in Empangeni (Baines Road) and in the open space between the Civic Centre and the East Central Arterial in Richards Bay.
Volunteers will be there to accept used or new clothing.
All you need to do is bring along packets of pegs to hang up your laundry of love, which will be distributed via the ZO’s charity arm – DICE (Do I Care Enough?) to needy organisations and disaster management units.
In its fourth year running, the initiative has seen hundreds of Zululanders peg up jackets, jerseys, scarves, beanies and blankets throughout the day.
Service clubs, school children and business owners are also invited to peg up donated items of clothing onto the extra-long washing line.
See you at the ZO washing line next month.
