Hundreds of Mamelodi residents were given delicious meals, sanitary pads, and T-shirts over the weekend.

The civil rights movement, Soil of Africa, made generous donations and was held at the former Mxolisi Creche in Mamelodi West on Saturday.

Founder of the movement, Bongani Ramontja, said Soil of Africa proudly stands as a beacon of hope, unity, and community transformation.

Ramontja said that they served their community by providing meals to 200 community members, distributing 150 party packs to our children, giving away 50 children’s T-shirts, providing sanitary towels to young girls and women, and 30 fortunate ladies with beautiful perfume.

“Our mission is to restore dignity, inspire young people, strengthen families, and build communities where every child has the opportunity to dream, grow, and succeed,” said Ramontja.

He said the movement believes that investing in children is investing in the future of Africa.

“Nothing brings us greater joy than seeing the smiles of our children and the happiness of families coming together in a safe and caring environment.

“These moments remind us that true nation-building begins at the community level, through love, mentorship, sports, education, recreation, and community engagement. Soil of Africa is creating spaces where every child feels valued, protected, and empowered,” said Ramontja.

Soil of Africa will open its doors to children and families across communities and provide activities, guidance, support, and opportunities that encourage healthy living, discipline, leadership, and hope.

Ramontja added that everything is completely free because they believe that every child deserves access to positive opportunities regardless of their family’s financial circumstances.

“This was more than just an outreach; it was ministry in action. Every meal shared, every smile restored, and every gift given was a reminder that God’s love is expressed through willing hearts and obedient hands.”

He added that the movement prays that every family is touched to experience the peace, provision, and favour of God.

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.
