Elderly people from across Soweto took part in a five-kilometre walk as part of the Annual Gogo Joint Walk initiative.
In its 17th year, the event continues to encourage the elderly to stay active and healthy. The event organisers asked government to help support and fund the initiative to reach more communities and to raise awareness about the health challenges the elderly have to endure.
Every Saturday, they gather at Mofolo Community Hall to exercise, a routine many say helps reduce high blood pressure, arthritis and other age-related illnesses.
