The Honeydew Community Policing Forum is inviting residents to contribute to its annual toy run at the end of November, aimed at spreading festive cheer to local children.
Residents can support the initiative by donating 1kg packs of Bakers Choice Assorted Biscuits or contributing money, which will be used to purchase more treats for the toy run.
Donations can be dropped off on Saturday, November 15, at BP Palm Court, BP Radiokop, or BP Boskruin, with CPF patrollers on hand to receive contributions.
Bank transfers are also accepted, with proceeds going directly to supporting the event.
The toy run reflects the CPF’s commitment to community engagement, bringing joy to children who might otherwise go without during the festive season.

Zolani Zondani returned to Gqeberha after walking almost 800 kilometres to Cape Town to raise awareness for men’s mental health.
The 30-year-old undertook the eight-day journey to promote his organisation, Broski, which provides men with a space to share experiences and access support.
He trained for over a month and completed the walk with minimal supplies, relying on the kindness of people along the route.
The walk was inspired by the struggles of his late brother, and Zondani hopes to expand Broski with a facility and sponsors.
He plans an even longer journey to Johannesburg next year, inviting others to join and continue the conversation about men’s wellbeing.

A bottle containing letters from two Australian soldiers has been discovered on Wharton Beach, Western Australia, more than a century after it was thrown into the Pacific Ocean.
The letters were written in August 1916 by privates Malcolm Neville and William Harley aboard the HMAT A70 Ballarat before they sailed to World War I battlefields.
Neville’s note requested it be sent to his mother, while Harley wished well for whoever found it.
The bottle was remarkably well preserved, likely buried in sand for decades, keeping the letters legible despite their age.
Descendants of the soldiers were contacted online, providing families with a rare and tangible connection to their ancestors and a direct link to Australia’s World War I history.
