40 Sun City employees receive bicycles
There was happiness all around as 40 Sun City employees each received a brand-new bicycle on Saturday as part of the resort’s 40th birthday celebrations.
Shouts of joy filled the air at the Cabanas as the 40 employees took possession of their bicycles, with most of them saying that this will be the first time that they own this mode of transport.
Isaac Gadisi, who works in the cleaning department at the Palace of the Lost City, said he had no idea that this surprise was waiting for him, until shortly before the handing-over ceremony.
“I have never owned a bicycle, but I learned how to ride one as a child. I am sure once I am in the saddle, it will all come back to me.”
Gadisi said he will no longer have to rely on buses or his own two feet to transport him to and from work.
“I live 5km away and this great gift will make life so much easier for me. I am so happy and greatful.”
Gadisi and a few of his friends rode home after the handing-over ceremony in a group to make sure that they and their new wheels were safe.
