Distribution of school shoes brings relief to learners
Brand new school shoes to get through winter.
The Kwatsaduza NPO, Kwatsaduza Geluksdal Forum collaborated with local mining company DRD Gold Ergo to hand out 330 pairs of school shoes.
The campaign commenced last week Friday and continued on Saturday and concluded on Monday.
Four primary schools benefited from the collaboration, including learners residing at Mkhancwa informal settlement.
Schools that benefited are Khangezile Primary School, Langaville Primary School, Geluksdal Primary School (two) and Michael Mkhwanazi Primary School.

The organisations public relations officer Thabiso S Bashalela expressed his gratitude while stating his hopes that this will be the first of many.
No learner should go to school barefoot. The aim is to restore the dignity of those learners. We hope the initiative wont be a once-off, but that other stakeholders and local businesses will get on board.
Join hands in making a difference in the community because education doesnt go out of fashion, said Bashalela.
