Past Projects
Sport plays a fundamental role in the early development of children and youth and the skills learned during sport contribute to the holistic development of young people. The Foundation played a key role in the bringing sport and other fun activities to Tembisa.
A few of Mosehla Foundation past endeavours
Bursaries
The Foundation identifies Grade 12 learners in Tembisa for mentorship and provides sponsorship for their post-matric studies. For example, Thapelo Chalatsi (“Chaps”) received support from the Foundation, completed an honours degree, participated in a graduate trainee programme, and subsequently established his own business.
In 2017, Mabatho Kwebu was assisted to pursue a Bachelor’s degree in Education.
Easter Games
The annual football tournament, established in 2012, is held in Tembisa during the March holidays.
The event centres on “raw kasi football,” aiming to engage youth through sport.
It has achieved significant community involvement, attracting over 4,000 spectators and participation from teams representing neighbouring townships.
School Outings
A screening of the film “Black Panther” was organised for Grade 7 students as part of a co-curricular initiative, with the aim of fostering discussion on topics such as diversity, racial representation, and the role of women in STEM fields.
Additional programmes include leadership workshops for Grade 6 and 7 students, utilising journals like “Hello Me” to facilitate activities and discussions centred on character development and personal identity.
Mandela Day
Several infrastructure projects have been undertaken, such as upgrading quad areas and refurbishing classrooms - most notably transforming a classroom into a dedicated language centre, in collaboration with Edwin Construction for Mandela Day.
Stationery Drive
The Foundation also facilitated a stationery drive through a partnership with Roedean School (Parktown), resulting in the collection and donation of essential school supplies.
COVID-19
Moved by the call and observing the infection rate and personal strife caused by COVID-19, a group of moms with students at Roedean School (SA) and St John's College in Johannesburg, and in collaboration with the Mosehla Foundation, leveraged their collective network and social media to raise funds to procure and donate protective clothing to health workers at a local hospital.
A total of R327,190.00 was raised in under a week.
