POLOKWANE – Casious Nkuna has once again completed his charity run from Mokopane to Polokwane as part of his initiative, ‘One Man, One Mission’.

For the fourth consecutive year, Nkuna undertook the run with support from family and friends.

Initially, the route stretched from Turfloop to Seshego, but it now starts in Mokopane.

“There are people who run for fitness or health. I decided to run to assist underprivileged children. Each kilometre represents a pair of school shoes. This race is done for charity, and the shoes are distributed to schools across the province,” he explained.

This year, Nkuna’s efforts provided 60 children with school shoes. While he initially paid for the donations himself, the overwhelming need led him to seek wider support.

“We have people who donate, even one pair a month, but the gap is too big. I have visited different primary and high schools, and the need is immense,” he said.

Nkuna encouraged others to support the cause, saying that even small contributions make a difference.

“There are so many children in need. I once visited a school where a learner was wearing a flip-flop on one foot and barefoot on the other. It really touched me. Moments like that motivate me to keep going,” he added.

Those wishing to support Nkuna’s initiative can connect with him on social media at ‘Casious Nkuna’.
