City entities work together

As the cold winter days set in those living on the streets are among the hardest hit. Fortunately, thanks to a blanket drive launched by three local businesses, some may now sleep a little more warmly.

The Cape Town Central City Improvement District (CCID) has partnered with City Sightseeing (the “Red Bus” company) and Kamili Coffee for a blanket drive as part of a Mandela Day initiative.

Tara Gerardy-Bissolati, CCID social development manager, said the initiative is the brainchild of City Sightseeing. They invited the CCID to join the project.

"Madiba Day is a powerful reminder that small acts of kindness can bring lasting change, and we are proud to join forces with City Sightseeing on this initiative."

Gerardy-Bissolati said they are relying on the generosity of the public to make the project a success.
