The Winnie Radebe Foundation has brought hope to communities in Lufhereng and Protea Glen by donating school essentials to learners and vegetable hampers to senior citizens.
Over two days, 25 learners received items such as school shoes, bags, socks, and sanitary towels, while 180 senior citizens were given vegetable hampers to support their households.
Founder Winnie Radebe said the initiative aims to ease the challenges faced by vulnerable community members and encouraged others to contribute to the foundation’s ongoing efforts.

Fresh signs of fynbos are emerging in the Silvermine Valley, where teams are working to restore biodiversity after April’s fire in Table Mountain National Park.
The blaze, which swept through 3,000 hectares, created a unique chance to remove millions of invasive Port Jackson seedlings before they grow too strong.
The Sugarbird Project, alongside SANParks, environmental teams and volunteers, has already cleared vast areas, allowing indigenous plants to take root again.
Organisers say community support is key, with volunteer days held every Saturday to help secure the future of the Cape Floral Kingdom.

Holgate Windmill in York, England, continues to operate more than 250 years after it was built in 1770, making it Britain’s oldest working brick tower windmill.
Once surrounded by open countryside, the 27-meter-tall mill now stands in the middle of a housing development built after World War II.
After falling into disuse for 90 years, a preservation society restored the mill 13 years ago, and volunteers now run it, producing wholemeal flour sold in local shops.
It remains the only working five-sailed, double-shuttered windmill in England, keeping the historic craft of milling alive for future generations.
