On December 12, Tsholofelo Motsepe was awarded her R10 000 as well as R10 000 to the National SPCA (Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals).

“I was very happy to have won; it was definitely unexpected,” said Motsepe. “The SPCA is the first organisation I thought of when they said I can choose a charity,” she added.

The cheque handover took place at the Alberton SPCA.

“I’m so pleased to have received this generous donation, as it allows us to better fight this war against cruelty to animals, which also affects people a lot more than most people seem to realise,” said Ayanda Ngcofe for the SPCA.

“We receive no assistance from the government, and are reliant on the kindness of others, so this is a big help, thank you,” she concluded.
