The Sonqoba Simunye Men’s Burial Club celebrates Mandela Day at Mmuso Primary School
Medupe said Nelson Mandela loved children and donating to them felt like walking in the legend’s footsteps.
Duduza – The Sonqoba Simunye Men’s Burial Club observed Mandela Day by donating dignitary packs to the Grade Seven girls at Mmuso Primary School.
The club chose the school because one of its members is a teacher there.
Club deputy secretary Rammile Medupe said, “Mandela Day is all about giving back to the community.

“We took it upon ourselves to use this day to give back to this school because our late colleague’s wife is a teacher here and continued with her husband’s membership after he died.”
Medupe said Nelson Mandela loved children, and donating to them felt like walking in the legend’s footsteps.
The club wants this programme annually and to cover Ekurhuleni as a whole because they have members across the region.

Sibindane follows part of the education department’s pillars, which is involvement in the community, and that can help the school when working with the community,” she said.
