GIYANI: Babangu learners receive new uniforms
A well-known businessman, Timothy Ncube, of ALW Investments donated 37 pairs of school uniform to the needy students at Babangu Primary school in Babangu village in the Giyani area recently.
According to Ncube, it was an opportunity to give back to the community and invest in someone’s future.
“I don’t give because I have money, but I give because I want to make a change and an impact in someone’s life.
“It doesn’t matter where you come from, but what matters is where you are going in life.
