Preparations are on course for a family fun day organised by Lehutshelo Junior Secondary School scheduled for November 7 at Lehutshelo Sports Ground.

Lehutshelo Family Fun Day organiser Andrew Kajuu said the initiative was part of the school’s efforts aimed at raising funds for the 40th anniversary celebrations. 

He said the day’s activities would include a 10-kilometre bushwalk spearheaded by Macheng Hiking Club, with participants required to pay a joining fee of P100.

Other activities include live performances by various artists, colour runs, horse riding and tug-of-war competitions. 

Kajuu said the organisers had partnered with Macheng Bushfire Festival to strengthen community focus of the event, adding that Kgalagadi North District Council was also supporting the initiative.

He said the organisers had approached various entities to solicit support for the event, among them, Sammy World, a graphic design company, which had offered to produce T-shirts for the event free of charge.

However, Kajuu implored all to support the event noting financial challenges.

Despite that, Kajuu expressed optimism that the event would be successful.

He encouraged members of the community to attend and expressed hope that it would attract people from across Kgalagadi North. ENDS
