Cape Community Newspapers, which publishes Atlantic Sun, threw a Christmas party, at De Waal Park in Oranjezicht on Friday December 6, for children from underprivileged communities. The children were entertained with games and magicians from The College of Magic. They had their faces painted and the City of Cape Town’s Fire and Rescue Service let the children explore a fire truck.
