Well-known and acclaimed actress, storyteller
and poet Gcina Mhlophe of the Gcinamasiko Arts and Heritage Trust created a
memorable event on Mandela Day at a school in Hammarsdale.
The Gcinamasiko Arts and Heritage Trust·(GAHT)
is founded on the success of its founding member, Gcina Mhlophe. The (GAHT)·is
committed to enhancing the culture of reading, providing writing and
story-creation opportunities and promoting African writers and the heritage of
story-telling within the education institutions (especially those who have poor
access to resources) and in the public arena of South Africa through its
Edutainment programme.
“We had a very successful Nozincwadi Library
makeover on Mandela Day, July 18, at KwaMyeza Primary School in Hammarsdale
sponsored by Kingdom Slots,” says Mhlophe.
“It ran from 09h00 to 16h00. Long
hours with many volunteers. Painting, putting down tiles, shelves on the walls
and finally books went in. The learners are so excited and so are the teachers.
“We had a tiring but fulfilling day.
September 13, 2019, is another one in Chatsworth.”
