Help Sam deliver the Christmas spirit in style!

This Christmas, Santa isn’t just coming to town—he’s driving coast to coast! Known as The Car Scene on social media, Santa Sam has turned his car into a magical sleigh and is travelling from the Mozambique border to the Namibia border, delivering gifts to underprivileged children. His mission? To bring hope, joy, and smiles to those who need it most.

Currently, Santa Sam is here in KwaZulu-Natal, and his sleigh is packed with festive cheer as he prepares to hit the road again. Tomorrow, he’ll be stopping by Suncoast to join Stacey and J Sbu, sharing his inspiring journey and encouraging everyone to get involved.
