POLOKWANE – After taking on the burn unit as her charity during her Mrs Polokwane journey, Tebogo took the name of her charity seriously by paying it forward.
She recently donated toys which will be used to keep the children, in the unit, busy, while they recover from their burns and the trauma that came with them.

The Burn Unit is the only one of its kind in Limpopo and treats both children and adults.
Established in 2007, the unit has treated many patients so far.
“I must say it’s never easy but in the end all things work out. Today was the day that we handed over the toys that were collected, to the burn unit. I would love to thank everyone who got involved in this initiative. First, thank you to the Mrs Polokwane organisation, for giving my charity and I the opportunity to be part of this journey. Irene Schempers, Mrs Polokwane 2017, thank you so much for the support. I would also like to thank Phatsima Chemical Supplies for sticking with us whenever we need your support and sponsorship; Bargain Books at Mall of the North, through my fellow finalist, Janine Kruger, we thank you for your donation; Spar Platinum Park, thank you for not turning me down when I need sponsorship for platters; Avoir Health, thanks for thinking of me and supporting my charity with your donation; as well as to all my friends for buying toys.
