TK D Tour donates uniform to 200 disadvantaged children in Kliptown

Doing it for the love of Kliptown.

Born and raised in Kliptown, Ntokozo Dube started working at the Soweto Kliptown Youth Foundation (SKY) doing voluntary work.

From SKY he got an opportunity to travel to Australia and when he came back, he had enough money to pay for his studies.

He then studied Tourism and graduated in 2010 at the Soweto Hotel. He was in demand and companies wanted him left right and centre. He refused employment offers because of the seed that SKY had planted in him, which is being a leader, being independent and serving the community.

He then met a couple from Princess University in the United State of America (USA) that offered him funds to run his own organisation, and that is how TK D Tours was formed.



K D Tours is basically an initiation of tours around Kliptown, tour guiding people around Kliptown, hence the slogan ‘Taking People to People’.

“Taking a look at Kliptown, you can see that it is one of the richest places in terms of our South African history, but the same historical area and tourists’ attraction seems to be forgotten when it comes to community services and it is sadly also considered as a community with a high rate of crime.

“But TK D Tours is here to challenge all those advantaged townships, to say that out of this disadvantaged area there is beauty, there’s talent and more,” said Dube.



Growing up in Kliptown Dube said that he has realised the right to education is not fully given to the kids who stay there. There isn’t enough equipment and resources for them.

On Saturday, January 20, Dube added to their future, not much but a little that could create a great beginning for their future.

A uniform drive, TK D Tour donated uniform to 200 kids from disadvantaged backgrounds in Kliptown. Being tour guides, the organisation uses the money they get from the business to give back to the community.

“Our Constitution says everyone has the right to education but without uniform, the kids are denied that right, so we decided to fight for their future in a form of a uniform drive,” said Dube.



“Our aim is to create future leaders in our community, to create the society of independent youth. This uniform drive is to encourage them to go to school, get that education and become our independent future leaders,” he concluded.

Keanol Williams from Kliptown Primary School was one of the uniform recipients, he said that he did not have a uniform and he is very happy and grateful to receive one.

“There are kids who went to school barefooted. I am glad that today they are finally receiving help. This is another way of creating equality among kids in schools, said Daniel, one of the parents.

For the LOVE of Kliptown, Dube is yet to do more for the community.
