Plumari said the foundation has been delivering happiness to Diepsloot learners with the help of some companies such as Auto and General Insurance. “Steyn City Foundation has been delivering happiness to Diepsloot children for the past nine years.
“Although we undertake a number of charitable initiatives including, most recently, food drops during lockdown. This is our flagship project and one that is very special to all of us.
“Many of our workers come from Diepsloot, so it is a pleasure to be able to treat their children to some happiness during Christmas time.”
Simthandile Tshabalala encouraged his peers to get involved in sport and work hard to become best athletes.
“I have travelled around the world winning trophies and championships. It is not because I am better than anyone but I give my all every time I play in a competition. You can also do it and become the best in anything you dream to become.”
Grade 7 teacher at the school, Ditaba Chuma thanked Steyn City Foundation and appealed to big businesses to come to the party and lend a helping hand to learners from disadvantaged families.
