It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of one of our valued partners, who played an integral role in our collaborative partnership with Joburg Child Welfare 🙏🏾

He will be deeply missed for his kindness, compassion, sense of humour, and the fatherly guidance he so generously shared—not only with , but also with the many young people whose lives he touched.

Our heartfelt condolences go out to everyone at Joburg Child Welfare and Gcebile Dlamini Foundation as well as to the Secwammung family, during this difficult time.

May his soul rest in eternal peace. 🕊️
