TygerBurger

WP Media staff spread festive cheer Staffers of WP Media, publisher of TygerBurger, People’s Post and City Vision, spread some love and festive cheer by gifting a present to each of the children housed at Leliebloem House. The children’s home was founded as House of Mercy by Bishop Gray in 1868. Archdeacon Lightfoot gave a sum of money for the purpose of establishing a refuge for fallen women in Plein Street, Cape Town. In 1886, House of Mercy was resettled on a site on the Leliebloem House Estate, made possible through the generosity of the Society of St John the Evangelist. WP Media staff and their families visited the home on Wednesday last week to hand over the gifts to the children and spend a few moments with them.

This is the last TygerBurger of 2018. The first edition in the New Year will hit the streets on 16 January. TygerBurger wishes all our readers a safe and joyous festive season.

pital in Caledon and woke up later that evening to find his leg heavily bandaged. He was transferred to Worcester Hospital for surgery. After the initial injury, he was taken into theatre for a procedure that took six hours. The surgeon could not completely repair the blood flow to his leg and his leg was later amputated. “It was very traumatic. I was shocked, but I knew I had to make peace with what had

happened,” Fortune told TygerBurger. He said while he was in hospital, there was a man who had had both of his legs amputated and he was blind. “What happened to me is terrible, but you shouldn’t let negativity bring you down. There are people who have much bigger problems than you,” he says. Fortune says while lying in hospital he thought about what he could do next because he could no longer do what he loves most –
