Gateway recently held a competition for tickets to Splashy Fen.  Shoppers needed to pimp out their gumboots and post a picture on either of the Gateway Theatre of Shopping social media pages using the hashtag #PYG4Splashy

The 4 lucky winners were Violet Du Plessis, Craig Sloane, Sandy Chen and Gnatin Reddy.

Gateway is 'rocking back to school' 

Gateway recently held an initiative whereby they ran a collection for Adopt-a-School-Foundation.  Shoppers assisted by donating school items and toys in support of the foundation.

Donations were handed over to Adopt-a-School-Foundation and the Ndukwenhle Secondary School in Umlazi.
