Molepo told the attendees at the ceremony that God has sent them an angel, “I thank Mamazodwa for choosing our school, she realised
that Gowe was poor and volunteered to help. I will encourage the pupils to take good care of the donated items. Hopefully this will improve their focus and performances in class”.
Maphanga is planning on donating food parcels and clothes to the disabled kids in the area as well.
