The kindness of strangers

Letter to the Editor|Published 3 years ago

Dr Gerry Norris, Noordhoek

I have a happy story to share. While in the Blue Route Mall the tyre came off the wheel of my wheelchair.

What does one do when stranded with such a vexing problem? After some rapid thought I phoned Tiger Wheel & Tyre in Sun Valley. Within half an hour they had the problem sorted. No charge and I was mobile again.

The Kindness of strangers - a big thank you to Kobus Moolman and Team at Tiger Wheel & Tyre, Sun Valley.
