🏗️ BIG MACHINE. BIGGER PURPOSE. 🏗️
Talisman Hire Strand & Helderberg (inside Builders) is doing things differently! To mark the launch of our brand-new Cherry Picker—the first of its kind in South Africa—we aren’t just hosting a normal event. We are using our new machinery to reach new heights for our community.
We are proud to partner with Youth4Life NPC and have set an ambitious goal: to raise R200,000 over the next three weeks to support the life-changing work they do for our youth and families.
📢 Calling all local businesses! This is your chance to get involved. We can provide an A18 Certificate for your contributions, allowing you to claim from SARS. Let’s build a better tomorrow, together!

They will each spend 12 hours straight in the Cherry Picker basket, aiming to raise R5,000 – R10,000 every single hour!
