Generosity shines as over 1000 school shoes are distributed in Cape Town

A WAVE of generosity swept the West Coast, as Cape Town teacher and sports personality Irafaan Abrahams and his outreach group, Hakuna Matata and Friends, delivered the largest school shoe distribution in the organisation's history.

More than 1000 pairs of brand-new shoes were given to learners at two of the region's most under-resourced schools — P.W. De Bruin Primary in Lambert's Bay and Leipoldtville Primary in the surrounding rural community - along with food, gifts, and hope.

“For years, we've raised funds through sport to support learners in need,” said Abrahams. “But this distribution was something else. We fed about 1800 people, including families from the surrounding farms. We handed out stationery, treats, and so much love. The response from the community was overwhelming - emotional, humbling, and full of gratitude.”
