Excited learners with Lebo Legwale (Heidelberg Mall Centre Manager) at Bertha Gxowa Primary School. A total of 1118 pairs of school shoes were handed out to the children.

 
Barefoot No More strives to change the footprint of Africa’s children. Their unique design of patent-pending school shoes are manufactured in South Africa out of an innovative material. The shoes are easy to maintain, they can be washed and do not require shoe polish, and they can stretch slightly to accommodate growing feet without causing blisters. Each learner received a Heidelberg Mall branded book bag, stationery set and a pair of school shoes.

 
To date, Capital Land has facilitated the donation of 27 531 pairs of school shoes and centre branded bags to learners across South Africa.
