Lebo’s Market gives back to the community
The store is located at 3306 Mokoena Street, Thokoza.
The newly opened Lebo’s Market handed over a voucher of R5 000 to the Helping Hand NPO in Thokoza on July 9.
Thokoza-born sisters Lebohang and Dora Ramahanedza partnered with Pick n Pay to open the market on July 6.
The sisters said although they are still new to the industry and have not made any profit yet, they cannot move forward without looking back.
“It is important for us to give back because this community made us who we are. We are always going to give back to our community, work with them and create opportunities,” said Lebohang.
The founder and chairperson of Helping Hand, Nathabiseng Mofukeng, said the voucher will be of great assistance.
“All the projects we have been running since 2018 have been funded from our pockets, so this will help us a lot, especially for our Mandela Day plans,” said Mofukeng.
She said because Mandela Day will be on a Sunday, they will run a feeding scheme in Crossroads, Katlehong, on July 16.
“We were invited by the community because they feel neglected in terms of their basic needs. So we decided to come on board and assist with food and food parcels.
We will also be donating clothes on the day. We invite anyone who would like to assist to contact us on 084 722 2787.”
The store is located at 3306 Mokoena Street, Thokoza.
