As part of its annual Winter Campaign, Passionate Kasi Chix Foundation partnered with Ackermans to donate brand-new clothing to Guardian Child South Africa NPO, an organization founded by Maritz that supports newborn babies and toddlers in need. ✨👣👶

The donation took place in April - In celebration of the birthday month of the founder of Passionate Kasi Chix, this is the best way to celebrate a birthday as she saw this at the right time. God's timing is always the best.

This initiative was aimed at helping keep little ones warm and clothed during the early winter season of 2026. Although this year’s donation was made quietly without photographs, the impact remains meaningful and heartfelt. 🙌🙏☘️

Maritz, together with Puseletso Mokhali and Tebogo Mactebu Moroe founders of Passionate Kasi Chix Foundation came together to bring warmth, dignity, and hope to vulnerable children through compassion, partnership, and community love. ❤️❤️❤️

If youre an organisation or individual and would like to donate more newborn items, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Together we can do so much more - Thank you to Ackermans SA for always coming through for the communities of Bloemfontein! 🙏🎊✨

Hard work pays off for PalesaEntle

By Michael Tamelinth (Free State World)

Palesa Isaacs-Ratolo from Thaba Nchu has made her mark on the beauty industry by proudly representing her community at the 2026 Mzansi Arts and Media Awards (MAMA) held in Johannesburg.

She earned the title of 1st Runner-Up in the Best Nail Technician / Makeup Artist category, showcasing her exceptional talent as one of the top professionals in the country.

Her journey into the beauty realm began in 2017 while pursuing a BCom Law degree at the University of the Free State.

Intrigued by makeup and nails, Palesa later pursued formal training at a Johannesburg academy. Inspired by her passion and driven by a desire to excel, she has transformed her love for beauty into a thriving business right in her hometown, PalesaEntle Beauty Spa.

Palesa is not just a beautician; she’s a mentor in her community, offering training sessions to women, empowering them with skills that can help them achieve financial independence. She believes in giving back, ensuring that others can also benefit from the same opportunities she has had.

Reflecting on her recent award, Palesa expressed her surprise at being nominated, acknowledging the validation it brings to her hard work and dedication.

She dedicated her achievement to her late mother, who always encouraged her to be patient and assured her that her efforts would eventually pay off. This award, to Palesa, is proof that faith and perseverance yield positive results.

“It doesn’t matter what career you choose for yourself, but if God leads you to a different career, you will shine in that career. I’m really happy as this demonstrates that my mother’s prayers have been answered.”

Her message to young people is one of encouragement, urging them not to give up on their dreams, no matter the challenges they face. Palesa’s brand has become synonymous with quality and care, offering a range of services, from permanent makeup to skincare treatments.

With no initial financial backing, Palesa built her business from the ground up, demonstrating that determination and talent can lead to success.

Today, PalesaEntle Beauty stands as a respected name in the Free State, reflecting Palesa’s unwavering commitment to excellence and her community. Her story serves as a beacon of hope and empowerment for many aspiring beauty professionals.
