The Democratic Alliance recently hosted Christmas parties for senior citizens of our community at Reuven Old Age Home and at Glenesk Old Age Homes. Although the parties were organized by the DA, it was made clear that they were not political events.
Cllr Tyrell Meyers said in his address at the party that as the festive season is a time for giving where nothing is expected in return this it was appropriate to host such a function for those who deserve it most.
Shadow Deputy Minister of Transport and Member of Parliament for Johannesburg South, Manny de Freitas in his address explained that this is why he is in public life; for the privilege of serving the community at occasions such as these.
Both MP de Freitas and Cllr Meyers agreed that these were opportunities to thank our senior citizens in the role they played in the past in shaping our wonderful country. “Many of you have helped build this country into something so great and we proved all our pundits wrong in last year’s FIFA World Cup,” said Meyers. Meyers also said that some of our older members of society played a part in the struggle to bring the democracy that young people like himself can enjoy. “So I say thank you for that, and may you all be blessed,” said Meyers.
“My team, be they our hard-working councillors or our activists and members, will continue to serve our community ensuring that we receive the best care and service that each and every one of us deserve,” de Freitas said.
Everyone enjoyed the parties with eats and drinks as well as the entertainment that was provided.
