Hanyani Wellness and Fitness Programme takes to Altitude Beach in Fourways to encourage Vaccination and Healthy Living
Gauteng Department of Sport, Arts, Culture and Recreation working with various artists, is this coming Sunday, 19 September, taking its Hanyani Wellness and Fitness programme to the epic Altitude Beach in Fourways.
Since the start of the increased Vaccination drive, the programme (Hanyani) is targeting Gauteng’s entertainment hotspots and public places, to promote physical and healthy lifestyles and importantly, to encourage the public to get vaccinated.
A pop-up and drive-through vaccination site will be setup at the venue and at Fourways Taxi Rank for people to get vaccinated on site.
The Hanyani activities include a Health walk, YOGA, Aerobics, Kick boxing and many more.
Leading the day’s activities is MEC for Sport, Arts, Culture and Recreation, Mbali Hlophe joined by personalities including DJs Maphorisa, Lamiez Holworthy, Prince Kaybee and Focalistic. Also taking part are fitness gurus including Juanita Khumalo, Ntseki Majori and Tidimalo Sehlako.
Speaking on the importance of the vaccination, MEC for Sport, Arts, Culture and Recreation Mbali says; “Working with artists and the entire Creatives Industries sector, we want to encourage the fans and friends of the sector to get vaccinated. We now know that vaccines protect against severe illness, hospitalisation and death in the event one contracts the coronavirus. We have also seen a decline in the infection rate in Gauteng because more people are getting vaccinated”.
