It&#8217;s where he lives, where he started his first job, and where he still manages Vitacare Pharmacy today, just 200m from his front door. &#8220;I think community building is exceptionally important. If we can all look after each other, who will need looking after?&#8221; asks Anil.<\/p>\n<p>Aasia Fredericks, a regular customer of the boutique pharmacy, says Anil takes a personal interest in everyone&#8217;s lives, and knows them all by name. &#8220;That&#8217;s the kind of guy he is and it&#8217;s how Vitacare Penlyn operates. It&#8217;s all about the people and the community.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Anil supports Active Bodies Sports Development, which provides opportunities to under privileged youth in sport and cycling. &#8220;Sometimes you just need a catalyst to do good work,&#8221; says Abbas Harris of the group. &#8220;In our communities, we just need more of those people and if we can have 100 Anils, I&#8217;m sure the community will be a different place.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>When asked what he thinks bravery is, Anil simply says. &#8220;All of us grow up with the notion of wanting to change the world\u2026 What I&#8217;ve resigned myself to do is to make a difference within my community, in my little microcosm. And if everyone can make a difference in their immediate space, the bravery in that community will surely come out.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Watch the community of Penlyn shower Anil Lalla with gratitude:<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/partners.24.com\/SponsorsofBrave\/Anil-Lalla\/index.html<\/p>\n<p>For more entry criteria and to cast your nomination visit https:\/\/partners.24.com\/SponsorsofBrave\/index.html<\/p>\n<p>#SponsorsOfBrave<\/p>\n<p>CLICK HERE to submit your press release to MyPR.co.za.<\/p>\n<p> &#8211; <small>MyPR<\/small><\/p>\n<p> CLICK HERE to submit your news to www.MyPR.co.za.<\/p>\n<p> Click here to submit your Johannesburg, Gauteng News &#8211; free.<\/p>\n<p> <strong>Have you tried:<\/strong> Reach Trust for Solar and Building Management?<\/p>\n<p> <strong>Did you know this about Johannesburg?<\/strong> 40% of the World\u2019s Gold is found in the greater Johannesburg region: The fact that Johannesburg is also referred to as \u2018Egoli\u2019 (meaning the \u2018Place of Gold\u2019) makes sense, right?<\/p>\n<p><small><strong>Source:<\/strong> <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/myjhb.co.za\/the-gratitude-season-nominee-1-anil-lalla-from-penlyn-cape-town\/\">MyJHB<\/a><\/small><br \/>\n<\/p>\n<p>Read more on <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/myjhb.co.za\" rel=\"noopener\">MyJHB<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Join the fun:<\/strong> <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/add-your-event\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Add Your event<\/a> | <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.mypr.co.za\/submit\" rel=\"noopener\">Submit a Press Release<\/a> | <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/directory\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Add your listing<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Gratitude Season \u2013 nominee 1: Anil Lalla from Penlyn Cape Town: MyPR: The Gratitude Season \u2013 nominee 1: Anil Lalla from Penlyn Cape Town: Anil Lalla Photo: Sponsors of Brave For Anil Lalla, the suburb of Penlyn in Cape Town has always been home.
