Staff and learners at Mokone Primary School in Langa were ecstatic on receiving school shoes donated by the office of Ward 51 councillor Lwazi Phakade on Wednesday 24 January. At least 25 learners benefited from the donation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phakade described the back-to-school campaign as part of a general desire to give back to the community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cToday we are donating about 75 pairs of school shoes to three primary schools in the vicinity,\u201d he told City Vision<\/span>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEach primary school will receive 25 pairs of school shoes. As councillor, I went out and asked for donations from the community and local business people to help the learners.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phakade emphasised that the money used for buying the school shoes did not come from the ward-allocation budget. He said other primary schools that benefited from the programme are Thembani and Moshesh. He said this will be an annual campaign. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For it to be successful, Phakade said, his office worked closely with the school teachers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe learners were identified by the teachers because they are ones working with them every day. They identified them and gave us a list. This is the second time we are running this programme,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teacher Dudu Vilakazi reflected Phakade\u2019s sentiments, saying the most underprivileged learners from each grade were identified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are so happy,\u201d she said. \u201cIt means a lot to us and the learners as well. The majority of them didn\u2019t have shoes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSome of them were wearing broken shoes, others old sneakers. We even visited their families to see their backgrounds.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vilakazi urged other business people to come on board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parent Ntombozuko Jayiya expressed gratitude to the councillor\u2019s office for the great work that they do. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She believes the new shoes will boost the learners\u2019 confidence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI can\u2019t afford to buy everything at once because I\u2019m unemployed. These shoes mean a lot to me. My son will be like any other learner now.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
