No money for first matric from New Jerusalem Children’s Home

MIDRAND - Thembinkosi Ivan Mabuza is the first matric pupil to come from New Jerusalem Children's home, a place that cares for orphaned and vulnerable children.

While the home celebrates his results, the home said they can not afford to further his education. Inspite of all this, Mabuza is proud of his results.

He said, “I am pleased that I qualify to study further. I am asking for money to study for a degree in graphic design and sports development at the University of Pretoria.” He said he is thankful to his many siblings and carers at the home who have stood by his side and supported him in his studies.

Mabuza is described by the home’s co-founder Phina Mojapelo as, “A humble self-starter who is passionate and dedicated in bettering his life. We are proud of his achievements as the eldest one at the home.”

Mojapelo stated that even though Mabuza does not know where his biological parents are, this has never stopped him from being positive about life. In 2011, Mabuza was selected to visit Blasco, a very small population in the province of Capiz, Philippines for sports development training. During his matric year, he designed a jacket for all pupils of Ponelo Pele Oracle Secondary School matric class.”We are asking for donations towards Mabuza’s further studies. He is the first from the home to complete matric,”said Mojapelo.

To donate money for Mabuza’s studies, contact Phina Mojapelo at the home on 010 224 0460.
