Thandolwethu proves to be a worthy friend to the disadvantaged

Mbalo urges people to support his organisation by donating old clothes, tinned food and teddy bears.

Boksburg North resident Thandolwethu Mbalo has always dreamed of helping disadvantaged people.

In 2015, he established an organisation called Isolate Iziyobisi which means ‘drugs’ with the aim of reducing crime, including drug usage among the youth, and poverty.

“Isolate Iziyobisi provides hope and helps young people to believe in themselves and their dreams. Our programmes include sports, life skills, computer literacy and after-school programmes.”

Mbalo said he receives donations of food, blankets and clothes from friends, family and colleagues.

“I visit the disadvantaged communities and those living on the streets to find out what they need.”

“My organisation helps those young people who have given up in life to make sense of their lives again.

“I have noticed is not everyone needs food and clothes but some just need love and appreciation.”

To donate you can email Mbalo at mbalothando6@gmail.com
