“Today we have decided to give back to those learners who, we have noted, normally go to school without backpacks.
“You sometimes find them in the morning carrying their schoolbooks in plastic bags and so forth,” says Zondo.
The handover of the school backpacks took place at the sports ground in Langaville where the Easter Knockout Challenge took place.
A number of underprivileged children from Menzi Primary School were treated to new school bags by the organisation.
