KZN LEGISLATURE BRINGS MANDELA DAY CHEER TO ZAMOKUHLE CRÈCHE

As part of the 67 Minutes of service for Mandela Day, Members of the KwaZulu-Natal Legislature, led by Speaker Hon. Nontembeko Boyce, spent the day at Zamokuhle Crèche in Ward 18, Enkungwini, Jozini. The team rolled up their sleeves to assist with much-needed renovations, including fixing broken windows, repairing gutters, painting, and cleaning the yard.

 

Hon. Boyce said the initiative forms part of the Legislature’s ongoing civic education programme, which aims to empower and uplift communities across the province.

 

“It’s important for us, as the Legislature, to join the rest of the world in honouring Tata Mandela’s legacy. Today we are paying it forward by giving our time to Zamokuhle Crèche. We know that many of the people working in crèches do so voluntarily, out of love and commitment – that’s why it matters for us to show up and say thank you,” said Hon. Boyce.

 

Joining the programme was Inkosi uMngomezulu  of Enkungwini Traditional Council and uMkhanyakude District Mayor, Cllr S Mdaka, who welcomed the Legislature’s presence in the area.

 

“We appreciate the Legislature choosing our district for this important day. As a municipality, we noticed the crèche does not have a water tank, and we have already arranged for one to be delivered before the programme concludes,” said Cllr Mdaka.

 

In addition to the renovations, the Legislature also donated tables and chairs, educational toys, and a jungle gym to help create a more stimulating learning and play environment for the children.

 

Hon. Boyce also encouraged the community to protect and take care of the crèche and the items that have been donated, stressing that collective responsibility is key to building a better future for the children. #kznlegislature #kznmpls #mandeladay #67minutes
