The Proud Fathers charity organisation founder Mandla Hamnca is in the habit of doing good deeds for the community.
On September 8 Hamnca again handed over 71 pairs of school shoes to learners from AB Phokompe Secondary School and Matlapaneng Primary School.
They received 36 and 35 pairs of school shoes respectively, for both male and female learners.
Speaking to the Herald, Hamnca said the shoes were donated to the organisation by local businessman Godfrey Diale of Diale Funerals, famously known as Godfather.
We have a good working relationship with Diale and he often offers a helping hand in some of our initiatives, especially where donations are concerned. Our director Sampie Nkwe’s birthday was coming up and Diale asked what he would like to be gifted with, and we responded by requesting a donation of school shoes.
“We knew that these school shoes had the potential to change lives and perhaps change the overall experience of going to school for some of the learners,” said Hamnca who added that they were happy to hand over the shoes to the most deserving learners at the two schools.
He said the recipients were excited and thankful to Diale as well, who made the donations.
