Klerksdorp Midweek, Klerksdorp - Klerksdorp celebrated Human Rights Day this long weekend with a very successful blood donation drive.
The city’s favourite Italian, Mauro Madonni of Danté’s Pizza, was in ball and chains at the Klerksdorp Donor Centre on Saturday March 22.
Only 50 units of blood could set him free and with the help of Miss and Mrs Klerksdorp, an impressive 66 units of blood were collected, ensuring his freedom. The UCKG church youth from Jouberton also donated blood, promoting the importance of ‘young blood’. Teenagers from the age of 16 are encouraged to become blood donors. Lindie Wrench of the SANBS donor committee, said the event not only highlighted the spirit of community giving but also underscored the importance of blood donation in saving lives. “A heartfelt thank you to all who participated and made the day a meaningful success.”
