NIGEL – The Nigel Retired Nurses hosted a successful high tea fundraising event at the Dutch Reformed Church on March 21, commemorating Human Rights Day while raising funds for a major community upliftment project.
The organisation, established in April 2025, comprises 25 retired nurses from Duduza, Selcourt, Dunnottar and Sharon Park.
Event organiser and retired nurse Flo Tlagae said the initiative highlights their ongoing commitment to service.
“We may be small in number, but our focus is on our objectives, vision and mission. As retired nurses, we are still passionate about serving our communities and making a difference where it is needed most.
“Our goal is to raise funds for a project that will uplift the community and create lasting change. We want to ensure that our work continues to have a positive impact even after retirement,” she said.
The event attracted retired nurses from across Gauteng, including Ekurhuleni, Benoni, Kathorus and Kwatsaduza, demonstrating strong regional support.
Guests were welcomed with a lively programme, including a grand entrance by the Nigel Retired Nurses to the song We Are Family, setting the tone for unity and celebration.
Entertainment was provided throughout the day, with programme director Oscar Xaba leading proceedings and DJ Kgotso Rameipone keeping guests entertained as many took to the dance floor.
