CREW members of car club, NRB Miniacs will be driving for charity this Saturday when they support the Thandukuphila Community Based Organisation in eNseleni with donations of groceries, sanitary towels, clothing and school shoes.

The car club comprises 14 local Mini Cooper vehicle owners and they all have a passion to help those in need and uphold their club slogan ‘caring for the needy’.

According to founding crew member, Thobile Magagula, the local village (club) forms part of the SA Miniacs board and ‘miniacs’ from nine other clubs across the country will participate in Saturday’s charity drive.’We are collecting donations to support Thandukuphila as they care for orphans and for children with special needs such as those living with TB, HIV/AIDS and various disabilities.

‘Donations from the community will be highly appreciated as this organisation relies on community support to give them a boost.

‘At least 60 vehicles will join the drive and about 100 people are expected to participate.

‘Drivers will meet at SMG North Coast Richards Bay in Alton at 7.30am, have breakfast and then drive to eNseleni for the handover and programme of events,’ said Thobile.

NRB Miniacs have held numerous charity events and they identify those in need and contribute from their own pockets or through fund-raising initiatives to support.

Their goals are to help in the prevention and relief of poverty and the advancement of education, health and saving of lives.
