“As part of giving back to the community, the ANC Youth League in Ward 21 came up with a vision to donate shoes to children who are deserving,” said Councillor Mbatha.
The children showed much appreciation as they sang songs to thank the councillor and her team for their generous gesture.
Parents of the recipients were also present during the event and they too expressed appreciation, as some of them come from poor backgrounds and can’t afford to buy things for their children.
Thuli Shabalala, principal of Mnambithi Primary School, expressed her heartfelt thanks, saying that the school and the ward councillor work hand-in-hand and this is not the first time they have helped at the school.
