Woman of the week: 71-Year-Old Teacher’s determination to Restore Dignity and Ignite Hope in Rural Mpumalanga

Mama Dolly, 71, runs Phathekani Kahle After Care in Masoyi, Mpumalanga — a lifeline where 40 children receive tutoring, meals and hope. The centre faces closure because its pit latrines are unsafe. A BackaBuddy campaign seeks R45 500 to install hygienic toilets and, if funds allow, a borehole. Join neighbours, former students and local businesses rallying to keep this safe haven open.

Brandon’s Birthday Wish: Help a Cape Town Dad Finish the Home He’s Been Building with His Own Hands

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.
