Market Day & Potjie Competition
We were truly blessed with fantastic weather as temperatures reached a warm 31 degrees. In true East London spirit, the crowds didn't take long to flood into the Centre!

The grounds were buzzing with a vibrant array of stalls alongside our annual "Battle of the Pot" competition. Delicious aromas filled the air as 14 different potjies simmered to perfection. As time ticked down, the tension mounted with the judges making their rounds before officially beginning the taste test. The quiet anticipation that settled over the crowd was a testament to the high standard of competition among this year's potjie kings.

Congratulations to the Rotary Club for Business, who took top honors with a well-deserved victory! Adding to their incredible day, they also won the silent auction, taking home both a 2,000L water tank and a two-night getaway sponsored by Wavecrest Hotel—a complete sweep for the team!
We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who came out and contributed to making the day such a huge success. A special mention goes to the staff at McClelland—you all truly rose to the occasion and did an awesome job. Well done, team!
Finally, a massive thank you to all our generous sponsors who made the day that much more special. We truly appreciate your support!

Something so small, yet so powerful, has touched our hearts. 💙

As most of you know, we recently welcomed two very special additions to McClelland: McBean and McDonald. These two donkeys have had such a profound and positive influence on the lives of our residents. In fact, the guys from Brent Hostel even created a feeding roster so that everyone who wants to help out gets their turn to take care of "our two boys."

Recently, a truly special gesture brought this all to life. A hand-picked rock was carefully painted with a beautiful picture depicting the two boys and given to us. It was so meaningful that we placed the painted rock right by the bench just above Brent Hostel, where everyone can see it and cherish its true value.

It is so deeply satisfying to see the incredible impact McBean and McDonald are having on our community every day.

A huge thank you to Robert Malherbe—it was so kind and thoughtful of you to make such a meaningful gesture!

Supporting McClelland Adult Centre | "Operation Donkey" Initiative 🐴💙
The McClelland Adult Centre for Intellectually Impaired Adults is a registered non-profit organisation dedicated to providing assisted living, holistic care, and a dignified life for adults living with intellectual disabilities.
Currently home to 72 residents, the Centre plays a crucial role in enhancing the quality of life for our community by offering secure accommodation, nutritious meals, medical oversight, and vital therapeutic activities.
Introducing "Operation Donkey" Like many non-profit facilities, McClelland operates with a significant monthly financial deficit, making fundraising essential to our ongoing care. To help bridge this gap, we recently welcomed two privately funded therapy donkeys—McBean and McDonald—who have brought immense joy, calming comfort, and a deep sense of connection to our residents.
In celebration of their positive impact, we have launched "Operation Donkey" to raise both awareness and much-needed funds:
• Adopt a Donkey: Each lovingly knitted or crocheted donkey comes complete with an official adoption certificate and a McClelland badge featuring McBean or McDonald.
• Standard Donkeys: Available for adoption at R300.00 each.
• Large & Specialty Donkeys: Individually priced.
📧 For Enquiries & Orders: Please email [email protected].
🌾 In-Kind Donations: Any donations of non-perishable food items for our residents, as well as hay and lucerne for McBean and McDonald, are deeply appreciated!
