Six lucky residents each won a special, large chocolate Easter bunny. They were Esme Joubert, Ursula
Heggenberger, Stella Granville, Amy Wright, Maria Longley and Brian Russell.
'Residents used a variety of pastel-coloured icing to decorate biscuits for Easter in the shape of eggs, carrots and bunnies,' said Simoné Botha, the care centre's occupational therapist.
'These biscuits were enjoyed throughout the festivities during activities at the recreation centre,' she said.
The festivities ended with residents being transported back in time with Irving Berlin's Easter Parade movie.

Mahushu artist celebrates African heritage with new single
A local kwaito and amapiano artist has released a new single, 'Badikoma', which seeks to celebrate the significance of communal festivities and traditions in South Africa. Lwazi Chauke (24), stage name Tboy Lwazi, released the song in close collaboration with a local producer, SK Lapho, on May 16. He said the song captures the essence of African heritage, focusing on the culturally important practices surrounding the journey to the mountains, the initiation school also known as ingoma. 'This tradition is cherished by many cultures and this song honours the celebration that follows when individuals return from the mountain with moments filled with joy, connection and community spirit.' He said the new single features a line-up of talented local artists, including Abo Khahlamba, Phici and Roman Power, each bringing their flair to the collaborative masterpiece. ALSO READ: Mpumalanga musicians attend Music Creative Workshop Chauke said he started making music young and was inspired by his uncle.

'Some of my music career highlights include winning Best Hip-Hop Album at the Mpumalanga Hip-Hop Music Awards last year. The album is called Evolve. My music has also received airplay on Ligwalagwala FM.' Chauke said his dream is to be famous and have his own record label, through which he will help talented upcoming artists in the province. 'Pushing through good and bad times has kept me going and working towards my dream.
