The certificate was handed over to Alexi Katakuzinos and Charles Morte of Bem Bom by Dipuo Tekana, manager of Khanyisa.
Alexi said when he took over the Meadowdale business in June, the idea to support Khanyisa was already in place.
He said he just followed the tradition and continued to help people in need.
