Blanket drive for Mandela Day

11 Jul 2013

As winter continues to impact on the lives of those without housing, heating or food; Cape Town Tourism and the Cape Point Partnership are working together to bring comfort and warmth to the vulnerable by providing the communities of Masiphumelele (situated between Kommetjie and Noordhoek) and Red Hill near Simons Town, with blankets.

Cape Town Tourism and Cape Point Partnership are appealing to all Capetonians to open their hearts and donate blankets, new or pre-loved, which can be dropped off at any of Cape Town Tourism's nine Visitor Information Centres until 16 July, 2013.

Visitor Information Centre drop points include: Kirstenbosch, Simonstown, Muizenberg, Langa, Burg Street City Centre, Blaauwberg, Somerset West, Willowbridge, and Cape Town International Airport.

The blankets will be distributed on 18 July for Mandela Day, as part of Cape Town Tourism's and Cape Point Partnership's 67 minutes of community service.

Ticket on the Flying Dutchman Funicular

In addition, the Cape Point Partnership will issue one complimentary ticket on the Flying Dutchman Funicular for every blanket donated. The Flying Dutchman Funicular is a fun way for visitors to Cape Point to travel to the old lighthouse and enjoy the region's panoramic views.

CEO of Cape Town Tourism, Mariëtte du Toit-Helmbold said: "Cape Town winters are mild for those who are fortunate and indoors, but for some it is a season of misery and despair. We urge all Capetonians to show their compassion and join us in this endeavour. Get ahead and do your bit for Mandela Day and your 67 minutes of community service."
