The manager of the crèche, Ruth Metiso, said the gesture brought joy to them.
The Ehlanzeni District and the Nkomazi Local municipalities celebrated Mandela Day by spending time with the children of Thambokhulu Crèche on Friday, July 25.
The initiative was supported by local stakeholders who joined forces to make an impact. Their meaningful contributions included donating a JoJo Tank to ensure access to clean water, painting the walls and roof to create a safer and more welcoming environment, and handing out food parcels and cake.
