Time to give, love family

Connecting, having fun and helping others

What are your plans for Christmas and the New Year? The Rep intern Sinawo Poswayo took to the streets to find out.

Eddy Meyers from New Rest

We will just be home most of the time, spending time together as a family. On Christmas Day and New Year we will go to the beach and after that visit my daughter in George.

Chris Els from Sterkstroom

We have visitors who have been overseas for some time. This Christmas we plan to spend quality time together and make a difference to the underprivileged as it is important in our days — there are so many people who need someone special in their lives and we are hoping to fulfil that role. We can all make a difference, irrespective of colour and race, especially during this time. Christmas is a time to give.

Asanda Nzongwana from Whittlesea

I will spend Christmas with my family. Most of our family members do not live with us, so it is so much fun at home to have everyone around. After New Year’ Day we will visit the beach because around January 1 it is always packed, so we prefer to go after that.

Bonnie Hoboyi from Westbourne

My plans are to spend time with my family and visit the family members I have not seen in a long time. Most of the time I will be indoors, but this time for me is family time.

Zandile Mavumengwana from Queen ’ s Drive

On Christmas Day I will be going to East London with my friends just to have some fun. On New Year ’ s Day I will be at work so I do not have plans.
