Blind people supported by St Dunstan’s, an organisation in Pinelands that cares for blind war veterans, and other organisations that help the blind visited the Two Oceans Aquarium on Friday October 18, where they were able to touch coral skeletons, shark skins, mermaid purses and a range of other exhibits. The aquarium extended its opening hours to accommodate the visit. From left are aquarium staff members Phumza Jongihlathi, Nicholas Stevens and Bianca Engel who welcomed their guests.
