Community builder appeals for votes

The Tembisa community builder and founder of Life 4 U Foundation, Mr Simon Molekwa, hopes to win in the ANN7 South African of the Year 2015 awards.

Mr Molekwa is a nominee in the Young South African of the Year category.

He said he represents the youth organisation, Life 4 U Foundation, which is aimed at developing the community of Ivory Park and Tembisa.

Life 4 U Foundation’s mandate is to provide poverty and disaster relief, assist schools through hygiene education and to ensure youth development.

Mr Molekwa said the organisation is two years old and the hard work of members and volunteers has been tremendous.

“The organisation has not been able to acquire any long term partnership, but this has not been our obstacle to render services,” he said.

The organisation’s office is based in Moriting Section in Tembisa.

“The hard work of going from school to school, cleaning toilets and educating pupils about toilet hygiene has really paid off. We thank our volunteers for their passion to serve their communities, and we cannot forget our supporters, the NYDA, Megga Candy, Paints Perfect, Clover Olifantfontein and the Oakmoor KMC Butchery, for their support to Life 4 U Foundation,” he said.

Mr Molekwa is appealing to the community to support him.

“It will mean a lot for me to win the title as it can be a morale booster for all young people from Tembisa and Ivory Park,” he said.
