In keeping with Older Persons' Week, nearly 600 seniors from the various service centres in the Metro South Region will be competing in an Olympiatrics event at Vygieskraal Stadium on 4 October.
Physical exercise programmes have been so popular at the various old age service centres that a platform was created for the seniors to compete on a bigger scale.
Western Cape Minister of Social Development, Albert Fritz, will be addressing the athletes just before they kick off their track and field events.
