Touchline’s “No Winter Driver” Initiative Brings Warmth To Tembisa
Touchline’s “No Winter Driver” Initiative Brings Warmth To Tembisa. Tembisa children braved the biting cold a little easier thanks to a heartwarming initiative by the famed rapper Touchline’s real name Thabo Mahlwele.
Taking to Instagram, Touchline announced the winter drive initiative in partnership with UDARKIE clothing brand, Clowdy (Pty) Ltd and Kunokuthula Foundation as they donated blankets and toiletries to 30 children at Phomolong Children’s Home in Tembisa.
“Came together with @udarkieofficial and @clowdy.za to do something beautiful in Tembisa. @mongeasy and I are both from e Straight Line eMambisa, and though we only met last year…we knew we could make an impact in young people’s lives, especially in the township. Through the #NoWinterDrive initiative, We donated blankets and toiletries to 30 children, and we spent the day playing games together.
“Thank you to @nokuthula_skosana for helping us get a direction for this initiative and coming on board as passionately as she did. Thank you to her team, the UDarkie Team, The Clowdy Team, Anazi’s team and The Touchline team. We did something beautiful, and we’ll do even more! Sibonge to the caregivers and the beautiful kids at Phomolong Children’s Home.” wrote Touchline.
This act of corporate social responsibility is sure to be applauded by many. Touchline’s generosity serves as a reminder of the importance of giving back and helping those less fortunate. With the winter season upon us, the initiative provides a much-needed source of warmth and hope to the Tembisa community.
The rapper has always openly embraced his affection for Tembisa, his hometown where he was raised. In the early stages of his rap career, he credited Pro Kid’s deep connection to Soweto as inspiring him to mirror that same passion and dedication for Tembisa.
“The way he always represented eSoweto, it’s just something that I resonated with. I spent a large part of my time here, in Tembisa and I realized that if I’m ever going to speak of a place it would be here because this is the place that needs the hero. They’ve got great people who come from here but not everybody is willing to save this place.” He told Zkhiphani.
