Youth movement feeds less fortunate kids
Shukushukuma Youth Movement in Mohlakeng has been hosting soup kitchen to feed the less fortunate.
Shukushukuma Youth Movement based in Mohlakeng has been running a soup kitchen for months now – their latest one was on Friday, 26 June.
According to Alexander Itumeleng Mpaga, founder of the movement, they are trying hard to fight hunger and malnutrition in the community.
We have implemented a programme in 2018 and have been giving food and hot meals to children from disadvantaged homes,” he said.
Itumeleng mentioned that the initiative is simple because he is also from a poor family, and he knows instability and other negative issues, hence he is trying to prevent that from happening to the other future leaders.

Hunger and malnutrition are among the common factors that affect children’s physical and mental well-being, which lead to things like drug abuse. This is the Youth Movement’s way of showing the children that they care and do not want them to go through such challenges in life.
He said they have noticed that some of the children they feed do not have proper clothes or even shoes, and are concerned about them, especially since it is winter.
We are very grateful to our sponsors and partners, such as A&J Farms, Diale Funeral Parlour and a local bakery,” he said.
To assist with this initiative or for more information, contact Itumeleng on 078 199 4929.
