The director of Sandra Jones Centre, Mrs Thina Dube, received the donation on behalf of the Centre from Freight Consultants Managing Director, Lily Milne, who was accompanied by Sibongile Mthayisa, an Export Manager, in the presence of the Ward Councillor Silas Chigora.

In an interview with ZDDT News soon after making the presentation, the firm’s Managing Director said,“It is essential for companies, organisations and individuals to remember the less fortunate in society and demonstrate their willingness to help. Freight Consultants will continue supporting this noble scheme.”
