Mothusi learners<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The Standing Against Gender-Based Violence and Femicide Football Tournament has culminated in relief for needy learners at two primary schools: Mothusi and Bochabela in Bloemfontein.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The morale-boosting aid came in the form of a donation of 61 brand new pairs of shoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Bochabela Primary School received 50 pairs, while Mothusi was given 11 pairs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The beneficiaries\u2019 selection was informed by the circumstances of their families, struggling to make ends meet due to unemployment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The shoes could be donated thanks to the six men\u2019s clubs that participated in the tournament. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The masters teams that played to score for the goodwill initiative are: Libra, Punishment, Pink House Social Club, By Hoek, Dog Pound and Levi\u2019s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The sporting event is a community initiative in support of the going effort to curb the scourge of violence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The tournament held on 17 August tied in with Women\u2019s Month events, with 9 August earmarked for nationwide celebration \u2013 recognising women for their achievements and continued contribution in the society. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beauty Cave Salon in Rocklands, a woman-owned salon, also contributed to the shoe drive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Go to
