Dr Nqobile Manzini received an early Christmas present this year when the specially branded Checkers airplane brought her son to Cape Town for a surprise visit. The cardiothoracic surgeon is completing her final year at Groote Schuur Hospital, working shifts of up to 36 hours, and rarely gets time to see her five-year-old who lives with his grandmother in KwaZulu-Natal. This is just the first of many families that will be reunited for an Xtra special festive season, as Checkers will be giving away 2 000 airline tickets to connect loved ones.      Read more: https://lnkd.in/dviC6Y8p #Marketing #CheckersSixty60 #Sixty60 #Retail #WorkThatMatters
