It was all smiles and happy faces when the legendary Grammy Award Winning Musician visited his former primary school, to donate new pairs of school shoes to learners.
Nkosinathi Maphumulo, better known as Black Coffee, through his foundation patterned with “The Back to School Run” campaign and Hollywood bets foundation and gave back to learners.
The initiative came as a relief to some of the learners, as they often travel long distances without proper school shoes.
Qondokuhle Primary was abuzz with excitement and activities as the learners were singing and dancing while capturing the moment with the well known Black Coffee.
Black Coffee said went back to Qondokuhle because it was his first primary school from grade R - 3, therefore it was of utmost importance for him to give back to the kids of his community.
“I encourage everyone of you to be educated, because anything is possible and that anybody can be like me or even bigger than me, Despite the background you come from. I wish you all the best throughout your academic year, even through your future endeavours,” He said.
The Principal of Qondokuhle Primary School, JP Nxele, thanked The Black Coffee Foundation for this initiative.
"As Qondokuhle Primary School and the community at large, we would like to thank The Black Coffee Foundation, for such an impactful initiative by donating brand new school shoes to our leaders. We are grateful to Nkosinathi Maphumulo, who is a alumni of this school, for this initiative.
They often say, "celebrites forget where they come from", once they become successful but not him. He remembered his former Primary School, he remembered his community, a school which played a role in his upbringing. On behalf of the school, the parents, sithi, Siyabonga to the Black Coffee Foundation for also putting smiles on our learners, thank you."
As Black Coffee added, It takes a village to raise a child.
This is evident that, within his busiest schedule, his greatest accolades, he remains humble and unstoppable. This day will be a day that the kids of Qondokuhle Primary never forgets. To the Black Coffee Foundation and the Award Winning Musician himself we say; Makwande.
