WOMEN'S MONTH WRAPPED UP
While Women's Month has come and gone, senior citizens from Langa only ended the celebrations on Monday 8 September at Langa Civic Hall, previously known as Johnson Ngwevela Community Hall.
The event was organised by Langa Community Advice Service (LCAS), a nonprofit organisation (NPO) that provides legal advice, gender-based violence and femicide (GBV/F) support and community advocacy to support and teach the seniors about their rights.
Noko Masipa, Member of the Western Cape Legislature, and JP Smith, Mayco member for safety and security, attended the gathering.
Anele Gqasane, LCAS project manager, described the event as part of celebrating Women's Month.
"Since there was nothing done for our senior citizens, particularly women during the Women's Month, we decided to do something just to entertain them.
