“Our goal for this year is to raise the sum of R2 million so we can assist the students with full tuition and accommodation for the duration of their studies.
“This will enable them to focus on their studies instead of worrying whether their full fees will be paid or not,” Nkadimeng said.
She told Review that she has been able to secure sponsorships from some of the municipality’s previous partners whose vision ties in with their vision of seeing Polokwane and its disadvantaged people grow.
“We continue to raise the flag for social cohesion through our longstanding partnership with our various stakeholders and look forward to what the future holds,” she concluded.
