Proudly holding their new school shoes are Grade One learners of Albertina Sisulu Primary School in Kingsway. With them are Colonel Constance Tlhaole, Mabore Molokela and Lettie Mthethwa.

A total of 100 learners from Albertina Sisulu Primary School in Kingsway will now walk tall as they wear new school shoes.

This is thanks to a combined partnership between officials from Modderbee Correctional Centre, JMPD, SANDF and Emergency Medical Services.

The handover of the school shoes took place on May 19, when more than 30 officials gathered at the school to surprise learners.

According to Mabore Molokela of the Modderbee Correctional Centre, they thought about this initiative in January after seeing learners going to school with torn and colourful school shoes.

Handing brand new school shoes to one of the beneficiaries of Albertina Sisulu Primary School in Kingsway is Colonel Constance Tlhaole.

“We then decided to rope in other departments to assist in this worthy cause. With these shoes, we want to bring hope, love and warmth to the learners so that they can have bright futures,” said Molokela.

Expressing gratitude for the donation, principal Simphiwe Dywili thanked officials for the heart-warming donation saying the school shoes will bring dignity to the beneficiaries.
