The team, led by Prince Rulashe (ANCYL), Amos Masetlwa (ANC secretary) and Maguesta Setona (executive committee member of a branch of the ANC – BEC), spent the day painting and renovating a dilapidated building in Els Road, Elsburg, which is home to a number of destitute families.
“We have known about the building for a while and are not happy with the conditions that the people live in,” explained Prince.
“We decided to paint and renovate the place to bring some dignity to the families who live there.”
The team’s efforts didn’t stop there.
