Kutlwano Social Organisation uplifts 200 learners in Mandela Day community drive

KWA-THEMA – Kutlwano Social Organisation proudly hosted a successful three-day Nelson Mandela Day celebration from July 18 to 20. The initiative brought hope and support to more than 200 learners across local schools.

The programme started with the distribution of school shoes and dignity packs to beneficiaries who were unable to attend the main event.

On Saturday, Kutlwano members, together with the Jeep Inmates Community, painted toilets and the school hall at Muzomusha Primary School. This effort helped to improve the learning environment for learners.

The main celebration was held on Sunday at the Kwa-Thema Community Hall. The event opened with a moment of silence in honour of the late Happy Sibande, principal of Ekurhuleni TVET College, who had been scheduled as the keynote speaker.

Learners from Muzomusha and Job Maseko primary schools, along with Zimisele and Lefa-Ifa secondary schools, received school shoes and dignity packs.
