Learners and educators at Tsibogo Secondary school in Mabopane unit U, were excited after they received important donations from Dalindyebo Foundation.
On Friday 28 May, the founder of the foundation, Mr. Itumeleng Sonti, visited the school to show his support and donated sanitary products and school shoes to learners in need.
“My late father believed in power of education, his drive made me to be who I am today and that was the reason behind to initiate Dalindyebo Foundation,” Sonti said.
Members of African National Congress Youth league (ANCYL), Mr. Melusi Gigaba and Mr. Bafuze Yabo also donated more than 100 pairs of school shoes and sanitary pads to the learners who are mostly in need. “Our objective is to encourage the black localized schools to focus on their education, we are here because we need leaders like Itumeleng Sonti, who still value the power of education.” Melusi Gigaba said.
“People say you are the future leaders, however I say you are leaders now because you lead yourselves and your morals. Today we gathered here not because we have nothing to do, however it is because we believe that you are the Chief Executive Officers (CEO) of your own lives.” said Bafuze Yabo.
Mercy Motaung from Soshanguve community radio station was part of the project she said that educators are now scared of learners because of the behavior that is portrayed by learners towards their educators, she then promised that she will monitor how pupils wear school uniform because it says a lot about them.
School principal, Mr. Justice Mokgotsi thanked all members of Dalindyebo Foundation for their generosity, he said the school catered these donated products for learners mostly from disadvantaged homes.
“Whatever they are going to give you, please accept it because they could have chosen any other school but instead they chose us, and be grateful” he said.
The community also joined this project to show how thankful they were for these donations made by Dalindyebo Foundation.
