PnP Initiative

PnP Initiative

If you visit PnP this morning you will notice an interesting pull- up banner next to the Smartshopper machines. And when you’re finished shopping your cashier is going to add one more comment to their requests. So apart from hearing them ask “Smartshopper”, and “Plastic” they will now be asking you to to “add R2”.

This is the latest fundraising drive for Makana Revive! which PnP will be running. Every R2 that is contributed will go directly towards helping Makana Revive! with their various projects around Grahamstown. The more visible projects include fixing potholes, clearing parks and pavements, and assisting with refuse removal. But there are others too.

So please contribute your R2 to your shopping at PnP. – those R2’s will add up quickly. 50 x R2 gives us R100 which fills a small pothole!

Thank you so much to PnP for driving this initiative – and lets see the citizens of Grahamstown supporting it by adding R2 every time they go shopping!

Community Member of the Month – October

For the past 19 years, Mrs Richardson has started her day by cleaning Grahamstown’s streets. “We cannot allow our city to deteriorate” she says after filling her second bag of litter for the day. Mrs Richardson’s family settled in the Albany district in 1922 and she still occupies the house built by her grandfather 80 years ago.

She is pictured here receiving her certificate from Makana Revive! Chairman, Ron Weissenberg, which recognises her as October’s Community Member of the Month.

We thank Café Delizzia in High street who have sponsored coffee and cake for two as a small token of our appreciation.

Makana Revive! celebrates our selfless and dedicated people who make a positive difference to our community.
