As part of our Mandela Day activities, Topsy Foundation had the privilege of spending time with Gogo Khathazile, who recently celebrated her 94th birthday.
For the past few years, Gogo has been a beneficiary of our gardening programme, receiving seeds to help her grow her own food. During our visit to Ridge View, Mpumalanga, we noticed that her garden was no longer thriving. Together, we rolled up our sleeves, prepared the soil, replanted fresh vegetables, and gave her garden a fresh start.
Now, all that's left is for Gogo to continue doing what she enjoys most—watering and caring for her garden each day.
This Mandela Day reminded us that small acts of service can restore hope, dignity, and independence. Here's to growing stronger communities, one garden at a time. 💚
