Donations from Polokwane Legal Practitioners Association, BLA and SAWLA boost school morale

The Polokwane Legal Practitioners Association, under the leadership of Chairperson Solly Mmakola, continues to make a difference in the Limpopo Province by giving back to the community. This year again the association in collaboration with the Black Lawyers Association Limpopo branch and the South African Women Lawyers Association Limpopo branch, on 16 May 2025 donated school uniforms, school shoes, and toiletries, to a total of 113 leaners at Malatswa High School situated at Laaste Hoop, Ga-Molepo. Mr Mmakola said that the three organisations annually engage on a social responsibility drive to provide school shoes, uniform, sanitary pads to learners in need.

Mr Mmakola pointed out that the School Principal of Malatswa High School, Vele Mamphiswana, confirmed that after the visit to the school last year, the leaners morale changed drastically in particular in the senior classes, grade 11 and grade 12. He said that the leaners are working hard to pass their grades because of the contribution the three organisations made to the school. ‘The impact is huge. We call all legal practitioners in the country to lend a hand to the needy, the little that we can collectively do can bring positive change to the lives of these future leaders,’ Mr Mmakola said.
