The drive was supported by Bethal’s Circuit manager, Lydia Malaza, who encouraged the learners to stay in school throughout the year so that they achieve their goals and have confidence.
Also in support of the drive were Dr Sbusiso Zondo, Sifiso Mthimunye of SCM Industries, the MMC of Corporate Service, Thandi Mtsweni and councillor Thabisile Mazibuko.
“We appreciate everyone who supported and donated to the school backpack drive. We believe that it takes one word to change the lives of many – #Ngiyafisa (I wish),” concluded Gwebu.
