As we are in the final stages of preparing for our biggest trip of the year, please find in good order the second trip report done by Neels Koekemoer for the October trip. Being so close to our upcoming Christmas trip you can only imagine the chaos and anticipation here in Malelane. As the last of the gift packs and boxes are currently being packed and labelled we are filled with immense gratitude towards everyone that has helped to make this upcoming trip possible. There are just not words to express how we feel.
As we are often told when Thanked for the boxes, especially the Christmas ones, for so many of our Golden Oldies yours is the only gift they receive and without these fully loaded boxes they would not be able to survive. We try to make it a real Rhodie Christmas in these boxes we include custard, dried fruit, jelly, a 400g packet of Regal Chocolates, Fishpaste, Marmite or Bovril, Christmas Cracker, Tuna, Mayonnaise, Marie Biscuits and then the Gift bag which is also loaded full of treats and gifts.
Update (12.11.2025) on our Adopt and Goldie Oldie Campaign. We have 704 boxes for our Golden Oldies Adopted so far, thank you, still 49 to go. We also have 180 of the 220 staff adopted. We at the ZPSF would like to be able to make the upcoming Christmas of 2025 extra special for our pensioners. The current value of the Christmas single person parcel is about R1300 but we are asking for R800 ($60) (£50). (SAME AS THE PAST 10 YEARS). Even if a group of friends make a joint donation to adopt a Golden Oldie or just add to the Christmas kitty for those who are not yet adopted. Your support will go a long way to help making them feel very special this Christmas. For those who would still like to donate towards the upcoming trip or sponsor one of the few outstanding boxes please find in good order the various ways to make a donation attached.
Please if you notice any errors on the name lists if you can contact me and let me know. I always try my best to keep it 100% but errors do occur. Also please if you make a donation and are adopting one of our Grannies or Grandpas please send me an email on linda@zpsf.co.za or zpsf@zpsf.onmicrosoft.com no matter which way you are making your donation from the various ways listed below.
