Meanwhile, Lerato Lamola Winter Games and Lerato Lamola Foundation have been collecting school shoes for the past five years which are donated to schools in surrounding areas.
“Over the years we have learned to give, not because we have too much, but because we know exactly how it feels to have nothing,” said Ridge Ndlovu, the tournament coordinator.
“Once again this year from today [May 21] till the end of June, we are appealing to the members of the public to make a small donation that will help our school learners.”
