The 26 year old Founder of PaulDave Foundation, Karabo Mokgosi has donated at least 30 pairs of school shoes to Dagbreek Primary School learners in Phagameng, Modimolle. 

Mokgosi said that this was something they had initiated few years back but due to unfortunate circumstances they kind of stopped. 

"We just wanted to get back into our giving spirit especially with the knowledge of how things have changed. Covid-19 has made a huge impact in people’s lives, some parents lost jobs, others their salaries got cut so we just wanted to help out with the little we could,"she said. 

When asked what the Foundation wants to achieve by this kind of gesture, Mokgosi responded that they wanted to,"make things a bit easier for the parents when coming to the children’s uniform but also just to make them feel special. Some of this children haven’t had brand new school shoes in a while so one can only imagine how special this was. Lastly to show them that there’s someone who loves and cares about them". 

'We just wanted to get back into our giving spirit especially with the knowledge of how things have changed. Covid-19 has made a huge impact in people’s lives, some parents lost jobs,' 

In celebration of International Women's Day, Mokgosi sent her message to all the women saying: "We are the most precious jewels on the planet. Powerful and amazing in all shapes and forms, believe that! Because it’s true.

I literally said that because I believe in the importance of sisterhood but also the importance of women knowing their worth because when we get to do so we will be able to get the courage to do all that we have been created to do on the planet. I love my fellow sisters."

Shoes donated to learners at Dagbreek Primary School at Phagameng, Modimolle. 


'We are the most precious jewels on the planet. Powerful and amazing in all shapes and forms, believe that! Because it’s true,' - Karabo Mokgosi.

109 YEARS OLD - DIKUBU PRIMARY SCHOOL BACKGROUND EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH THE CURRENT PRINCIPAL MAHLAHLANI INTRO Naboomspruit Amalgamated School, today known as Dikubu Primary school was established in 1910 by the Church of England before the Anglican and Lutheran Churches took over.  The name Dikubu comes from the sound of the Hippopotamus which was heard making sounds in the river during rainy seasons.

The Khosa family next to the old graveside also opened their garage to accommodate some classes during difficult times.  The school was built by members of the community using self-made bricks .
