Local organisation blesses residents with massive outreach
A charity drive provided clothes, shoes and food to over 200 people in Phomolong.
Over 200 residents of Phomolong in Mamelodi East received donations of clothes, shoes and a soup kitchen was provided by Soil of Africa, through its charity drive on Friday.
Bongani Ramontja from Soil of Africa said the charity drive is reaching out to disadvantaged and marginalised households within the Mamelodi community.
Ramontja said the aim was not only to provide immediate relief, but also to identify families in need for ongoing monthly support, as part of their mission to close the gap of poverty in their community.
The residents received vital support, which included fresh bread and hot soup, five items of clothing per person, and shoes for those in need.
“This initiative is part of Soil of Africa’s unwavering commitment to giving back to our people and restoring dignity and pride to the lives of those who have long been forgotten and neglected.
“The charity drive marks the beginning of our nationwide tour programme, where Soil of Africa will roll out similar charity drives in disadvantaged areas across all provinces,” said Ramontja.
Community members donated clothes to the organisation, and members of the organisation donated money to buy food and clothes.
Soil of Africa civic organisation is an advocacy and grassroots movement founded in April 2025, that responds to social issues affecting marginalised and voiceless communities across South Africa.
The organisation has become one of the fastest-growing movements in the country, with a presence in six provinces and a growing impact on the lives of citizens.
Ramontja closed by saying, “Our charity drive campaign will continue to move from township to township, ensuring that no vulnerable citizen is left behind as we restore dignity, hope, and pride in our communities.”
