Bulane said the money was raised at a recent black-tie event held at Aviator Hotel in OR Tambo International Airport. “This year, the event was big and more successful than the past two years. Again we managed to raise money to pay school fees for three children we will choose from primary schools. They will [also] receive new school shoes for 2017,” added Bulane.
He thanked the guests at the event who contributed by buying tickets and also those who donated school shoes.
“We also managed to partner with Boston Campus in Kempton Park so that one disadvantaged pupil from our community can receive a bursary worth R15 000 to study a course of their choice at the campus,” said Bulane.
