In the true spirit of Nelson Mandela’s legacy, media channel Moja Love joined forces with television personality Themba 'Skeem GP' Lukhele and philanthropist and businessman Leeroy Sidambe to mark Mandela Day with a powerful act of service in Vosloorus, Ekurhuleni.
Partnering through the Skeem GP Foundation and Sakhile Ezweni Foundation, the initiative focused on a local preschool and day care centre that also serves as a support hub for individuals facing substance abuse challenges.
The centre provides care for children as young as six months to six years old, while also offering food, stability and emotional support to vulnerable members of the community.

In collaboration with television channel Moja Love, the team transformed Mandela Day into a meaningful celebration of love, dignity and restoration.
According to the organisers, the campaign saw heartfelt donations that included brand-new school shoes for the children; nutritious hot meals and non-perishable food parcels; sleeping mattresses to offer comfort and rest; and, “perhaps most importantly, the gift of time, compassion and presence”.
“Mandela Day is not just about giving 67 minutes, it’s about building legacy moments. And on this day, we made Vosloorus feel seen, supported and celebrated,” said Skeem GP.
Leeroy said: “The energy was electric, and the message clear: Madiba’s legacy lives on through acts of community, compassion, and collective care. We are grateful to Moja Love together with Aubrey Tau Foundation for the opportunity to allow us to join them in their initiative”.
