Animal Rescue Organisation volunteers and staff spent their 67 Mandela Day minutes welcoming visitors to the clinic in Schaapkraal Road, Philippi and offering them tea and Avril Thomas’s home-made scones. The animals were on the receiving end too – bags of pet food and goods to sell in the charity shops were donated. Mandela Day also brought new homes for Oreo, a kitten, and Gary, a black Labrador cross. Roxy, pictured bottom left, is still looking for a home.
