WATCH | Boity donates R50k to an abuse shelter
Rapper Boity Thulo has joined the fight against gender-based violence (GBS) and has donated R50,000 to an abuse shelter.
After taking first place in the Sanlam Moola-Money Family Game Show on e.tv earlier this year, Boity chose to donate her winnings.
At the handover ceremony on Thursday, Boity and her mom, Modiehi Thulo, selected the Vhathu Vhothe Abuse Centre to donate the R50,000. Their donation goes towards victim empowerment programmes with a focus on strengthening the human rights of both women and children.
“What an honour it was to see the phenomenal work the centre does for GBV victims and for the community in general. These are the moments that ground us and remind us about the bigger picture!” said Boity.
