Media Alert: City and Partners Introduce Food Voucher Programme

Mayoral Committee Member for Social Services, Councillor Grant Pascoe, will speak at the event along with Broccoli Project Head Marc-Anthony Zimmerman and Pick 'n Pay Transformation Director, Suzanne Ackerman-Berman.

Date: Friday 17 September

Time: 15:00 for 15:30
