Tiger Brands, NPO give back to the community
Tiger Brands together with Greatness Of Life Foundation donate bread to the less fortunate.
Tiger Brands, in partnership with the Greatness of Life Foundation, a non-profit organisation, has been helping the less fortunate since the second week of lockdown.
The company has been donating about 80 loaves of Albany bread – 40 brown and 40 white – every day to the Greatness of Life Foundation, which would then distribute them to families in various informal settlements in Rand West City.
Aaron Masimola from Tiger Brands in Randfontein said it was time for them to give back to the community.
The community members are our biggest supporters. We therefore decided to give back to them and say thank you for their support,” he said.
Mamolifi Christina Ngakane, who is also a Greatness of Life Foundation director, said the lockdown is a very difficult time as some people who have jobs are not working, while others have no income at all.
Vusi Mathiya from the Colossus Athletics and Aerobics Club from Mohlakeng also accompanies them daily.
“We have been to informal settlements such as Bundu Inn and Montrose (in Middelvlei), and Toekomsrus. In some of the areas we handed out clothes that we brought from our homes. We also gave out bread to nurses who are testing people for Covid-19 in Westonaria and Bekkersdal,” Mamolifi added.
