KORWE MULTI-
PURPOSE CENTRE
By Asiphe Mjongile
The Student Affairs and Extracurricular Development (SAED) organised a delightful event
for the children of Ga-Rankuwa on Wednesday, 24 July, at the Korwe Multi-purpose
Centre.
The event was held in celebration of Nelson Mandela Day and it brought a large number of
students together, who dedicated 67 minutes of their time to give back to the community,
making it an impactful and memorable day.

The Center looks after over hundred vulnerable children from the immediate community and
provides meals on a daily basis.
Olga Shikwane, the Social Auxiliary worker at the Center, emphasised the challenges they face,
particularly in providing meals for the growing number of children. Additionally, she highlighted
the need for educational resources.
As a response to some of these needs, SAED donated non perishable food items and mobilised
volunteers to plant a vegetable garden.
The volunteer also played fun-filled activities with the children , including face painting,
dancing, indigenous games and drawing activities . Student, Isaiah Makuasaid volunteering was
fulfilling. "The event not only provided valuable resources, but also support to those in need
while fostering a sense of unity and collaboration among the community of Ga-Rankuwa," he
explained.

that we lived, but the significance we
have made.”
