ANCYL provincial chairperson Tonny Rachoene has donated a table tennis court to Lefa Maseko, a young person living with disability who is also a table tennis champion in Limpopo.
Rachoene told The Azanian that as part of the ANCYL Disability Thursdays program, they visited Motjedi Secondary School and donated the table tennis sport tools to the talented Maseko to motivate other players within the community.
While visiting Motjedi Secondary School in Motetema/ Tafelkop of Maseko, the ANCYL provincial chairperson also donated 10 Boxes of sanitary pads to pad up a girl child. Restoring the dignity of a black child is very paramount.
“Our mandate is to ensure that we boost young people to the best of our abilities. Our programs of disability is to make sure that young people don’t lose hope because they are disable. Being disable doesn’t mean you can’t achieve your dreams or participate in sport or any activity. It potent and imperative to understand that with God all things are possible for greater is He who lives in us against all odds. Therefore you must never give up,” said Rachoene.
Earlier, Peter Mokaba regional chairperson John Makoro Mpe and Rachoene respectively donated a brahman cow and groceries to Chief Malesela Solomon Dikgale as a sign of appreciation to the traditional authorities in Limpopo.
Traditional leaders in Limpopo earlier expressed their discontentment to the ANC provincial executive committee that Premier Stan Mathabatha and his administration neglected them.
In their mission entitled “# Magoshi Friday”, Rachoene said the league has embarked on visiting traditional leaders in various regions across Limpopo province.
“Our elders in the form of traditional leaders are the mirrors of our nation who can provide a clear picture in our communities in terms of service delivery by our government. They are the most potent integral part of our lives. Indeed they are a mouthpiece between the communities and government. Our traditional leaders are the rare glue needed by the ANC and its youth wing in our bid for renewal,” Rachoene said.
“We cannot live without our traditional leaders. We need their wisdom for they are our shield and saviours. They are our parents and the ANC in Limpopo cannot live without their wisdom. We will strengthen our relationship with them as we continue our visits to their traditional authorities.”
Polokwane Mayor Mpe said: “The most potent weapon is to respect your traditional leaders. You must also know your roots, values, norms and beliefs. You can never claim sanity if you don’t know where you come from and where you are going. Our traditional leaders remain the most important integral part of our lives. We must teach our children to respect them and plant that seed of appreciating the traditional authorities. We are proud of the ANCYL for their profoundness and respecting their elders and traditional leaders.”
