Blood Donation Drive in Potchefstroom

The South African National Blood Service (SANBS) will be hosting a blood donation drive at West Acres Shopping Centre. The drive takes place on two separate days: 22 and 30 September 2025, from 12h00 to 17h00. Donors will find the SANBS team set up outside the West Acres Pick n Pay.

The campaign slogan, “We are the pulse. Donate blood. #SaveLives”, sums it up neatly. The SANBS is reminding people that every donation can make a difference.

Why It’s Happening

The SANBS is running this drive to boost blood supplies and ensure that hospitals and patients have what they need. The organisation points out that the process is quick, painless, and doesn’t require any ticket purchases or fees.
