Knysna celebrates world disability day

Residents and organisations of Knysna have taken to the streets in an organised march to celebrate the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, which is celebrated worldwide annually on 3 December.

Celebrations began with a march from Pledge Square to Queen Street at 10:00, where there were stalls set up with goodies to buy in aid of the various organisations taking part.

Once everyone arrived, persons in wheelchairs took part in a wheelchair race up Queen Street towards the Main Road.

Celebrations will continue, serenaded by the St James Brigade Band, up until 13:00, with the stalls open for people to purchase items too. There will also be various speeches made during the course of the day.
