Imbumba Foundation make a toast to a successful year at the Maslow Hotel

The Imbumba Foundation team organised a small intimate gathering to thank their fellow partners that have been assisting the organisation with various support functions including funding.

On December 6, participants of the event that was held at the Maslow Hotel in Sandton were welcomed by the organisation’s friendly founder, Richard Mabaso, who was more than thrilled to see a great turnout.

During the appreciation ceremony, guest speakers touched base on the astonishing work that the organisation has done in society as they focus on eradicating period poverty in South Africa.

In attendance were representatives from the Winnie Secondary School who got to enjoy special moments with both the team of Imbumba and a few prominent figures.

“For the past ten years, the foundation has been providing us with the support that we need for our learners. We are extremely grateful for what they are doing. It is important for everyone to have the right to essential needs such as sanitary pads. We need our girls in schools,” said the principal of Winnie Secondary School, Nkosinathi Sibeko.

Before participants had their lunch, professor Somadada Fikeni recited words from the late Oliver Tambo which summed up their purpose of establishing the foundation.

“The children of any nation are its future. A country, movement, or a person that does not value its youth and children does not deserve its future,” said Fikeni during the thanksgiving ceremony.

The event ended with a bang as Mabaso announced the arrival of Miss South Africa 2022, Ndavi Nokeri, who joined him on stage to share a few inspirational words with the girls of Winnie Secondary School.

Before announcing her departure in preparation for Miss Universe, Nokeri took pictures with each learner.
