‘Taung family to be honoured during Mandela’s 67 minutes’


By Obakeng Maje
Taung- South Africa and the World at large will be remembering the late icon, Nelson Mandela on the 18th of July 2014. Mandela passed on in December 2013 at the age 95 after succumbed to an ensuing lung infection.

Mpolokeng family in Nhole village, Taung will receive a newly-built house from Mokibelo Investments Holdings.

The family was cooped up in a dilapidated two-roomed house with broken windows.

Motlalepula Mpolokeng,31, said they are very pleased to have their house being extended. “We are seven family members and being confined in a two-room house is not good at all. Our parents passed away back in 1992 and 2010 respectively” said Mpolokeng.

A Limpopo-based company said they identified Mpolokeng family through their employee who resides in the area.

“We believe it is everyone’s task to help those in need. Ploughing back to the community, is a sensible thing to do. We would appreciate any help from other stakeholders who could help on furnishing the house” Mokibelo Investment Holdings Tshepo Duba said.

According to Motlalepula, no one is working in the house and they survive on a disability grant that belongs to Letlhogonolo Mpolokeng who is disable.

The two-roomed house cost the company R50 000 and the official hand over will be on the 18th of July 2014 during Mandela’s 67 minutes.

Those who are willing to help can reach Mokibelo Investment Holdings on 0717362322.
