The event which has been held for over 20 years sees hundreds of eager children and their parents line up to participate in the hunt to spread cheer amongst the underprivileged community.

The popular vrou, known as “Aunty Girly”, spent the Easter weekend working alongside her niece Justine Williams to prepare gift packs for both the children and their parents.

Beryl says: “I started my community work with feeding the community of Phumlani more than 20 years ago. I was inspired by the work of my mother who believed in always lending a helping hand to those less fortunate.
