In a heartwarming display of community spirit, Orange Farm businessman Zamikhaya Ngubane, owner of Mjemen Enterprises, joined forces with renowned Maskandi artist Gatsheni to make a meaningful impact on young learners at Stretford Primary School when the duo donated dignity packs and a cash contribution to support the students last week.
Ngubane and Gatsheni’s donation included essential sanitary towels for the school’s learners, helping to ensure that girls have the resources they need to attend school with confidence and dignity. The initiative reflects the deep commitment of both the business and entertainment sectors to uplifting local communities, particularly young learners who often face socioeconomic challenges.
In addition to the dignity packs, Ngubane and Gatsheni provided a financial boost for the Grade 7 students, donating R2,000 to help fund their end-of-year trip. This contribution brings the Grade 7s one step closer to enjoying a memorable experience as they conclude their primary school journey.
“We believe in giving back to the community, it’s important for us to invest in the youth and help them feel confident and prepared as they continue their education. We’re excited to see them thrive,” Ngubane told Orange Farm News.
Gatsheni, known for using his hit music which celebrates South African culture added that this is about more than just a donation, it’s about setting an example and showing young people that they are valued.
Stretford Primary School’s learners and educators expressed heartfelt gratitude for the support, emphasizing the positive impact of community-driven efforts in the lives of young learners.
