Heather Liebenberg, chairperson of Seed of Hope, said that Hlatshwayo’s foundation had a back to school drive which collected new and second-hand school uniforms and shoes, and on February 7 they visited Bhekulwandle Primary School and Mbambangwe High School to make the donation and introduce the sports programme and Dignity programme.

“They received great responses from the teachers and learners at both schools. Siyabonga and Lwandle saw the need in their community, and they acted on it. Their aim is to see teenagers being united, knowing who they are, where they belong and where they are going. With these two programmes Siyabonga and Lwandle hope it will reduce crime and violence since they believe that it is young people who are involved in those two things. As Seed of Hope, we are so excited for these young people, and we are looking forward to seeing them reaching their goals,” said Liebenberg.
