Ma Zwa ne a nd Bishop Makhubo, a leader of the Tembisa Transformation Forum were present when donations were distributed to those most vulnerable in our community.

Founded on the 11th of November 2019, the foundation is led by business leader, Rita Phumlaphi Zwane, under the direction of powerhouse figures such as Dr Thandi Nkosi who is Deputy Chair, Develd Monyai, Thando Zwane, Anne Booyse and Ntombezinhle Mhlongo.

The organisation was established with the vision to create a platform for young upcoming entrepreneurs in the township. While the organisation’s primary focus is to inspire, empower and educate young people and women in its surrounding community, MaZwane’s vision is that the organisation will inspire, educate and empower South Africa’s future leaders in all townships around the country. Furthermore since its inception it is clear that the foundation is quickly transforming into a vehicle that will see

Tshepang receives winter clothes

Raphael Dhlamini, MOF member, leads the donation of clothes to Tshepang Day Care Centre in Vusimuzi.

By Samkelo Sibiya

T

shepang Day Care Centre, in Vusimuzi receives donations from the Mkhabela Obedience Foundation after their successful winter drive campaign and donates to the underprivileged.

The donation was mainly winter clothes collected through social media campaigns.

The donations ranged from girls’ shoes to boys’ clothing. Raphael Dhlamini made the donations on behalf of MOF and the response was overwhelming.

He said the organisation had a connection with Tshepang Day Care last year in 2020 with a number of visits to the centre done since then.

“This centre remains close to our hearts as it is one the centres if not the only centre that caters for the people in Vusimuzi squatter camps.”

“They cater for children from marginalized areas, they provide

feeding schemes which is not always enough hence we meet them halfway with the donations.

“Most of the staff is still in good condition, even teenage boys from the community can benefit as well,” he said.

Tshepang Day Care founder Sarah Sibiya has always welcomed donations. The centre continues to face financial difficulties.

Sibiya said they would encourage more people to continue helping their organisation.

“Due to Covid-19 the situation has worsened, we continue the feeding scheme but on a different basis now,” said Sibiya.

The centre continues to care for the kids of its community, within its premises it also features a library which is used for all educational purposes.

For donations to the centre please contact Sarah Sibiya at 0827203732 and follow MOF on Facebook.
