A Pretoria teen’s modest dream of attending his Matric Dance became a powerful story of generosity. Arthur Mathebula’s BackaBuddy campaign soared past its goal, raising over R19,000 and giving him hope for the future.
In July–August 2025, siblings Nikita and Ricki Van Rensburg led a winter shoe drive for Cape Town’s Gatjie settlement, delivering brand-new sneakers, hot meals and vital roof repairs. With donor support—and even a surprise call from Siya Kolisi—the effort now seeks recurring gifts to keep families warm, fed and safe year-round.
Brandon Amronski, a 62-year-old artist in Kommetjie, has been hand-building a small home brick by brick after years of setbacks. His daughter, Luna, started a BackaBuddy to fund the final stretch—electrical finishing, a geyser, tiling, a garage door, and short-term labour. With R10,478 raised of R59,000, your gift could help him finally move in with dignity. Donate, share, or sponsor a line item and help finish Brandon’s dream home.
Mandela Day, held every July 18th, inspires 67 minutes of service to honour Nelson Mandela’s legacy. Explore powerful BackaBuddy campaigns for 2025—from feeding children and supporting mental health to caring for senior dogs—and discover how you can get involved.
Nicci, a dedicated single mom and BackaBuddy team member, is crowdfunding to take her introverted, pizza-loving daughter Qiran on a meaningful trip to Sicily. This mother-daughter journey is more than a birthday gift—it’s a chance to explore their heritage and create unforgettable memories. Join their story and help make their dream come true.
