Speaking to GLOBE POST, Mathapelo and Mamello Feeding Scheme Project’s chairperson, Tsidiso Sepheko, said: “The project’s reach is increasing and our pockets are getting empty since we fund it ourselves, we are in dire need of sponsorship. We are optimistic that with suport from the community, business, organisations and well-wishers, our goal of providing wholesome meals to needy members of our community can be achieved. I plead with members of the public to please assist us in any way so that we can continue with our work.”
