Johannesburg, June 3, 2024 — The Archbishop Thabo Makgoba Development Trust is proud to announce a generous donation of school shoes to Casa Do Sol School by Nyakallo Makgoba and Shazia Patel. This heartwarming contribution was made to support the school’s mission of providing an inclusive educational environment for learners with intellectual disabilities and special educational needs.
Casa Do Sol School, located in Randburg, Johannesburg, has long been dedicated to nurturing and educating students with diverse learning requirements. The school’s commitment to fostering an inclusive community where every learner can thrive aligns seamlessly with the values of the Archbishop Thabo Makgoba Development Trust.
Much like his father, Anglican Archbishop Thabo Makgoba, Nyakallo Makgoba is a dedicated advocate for education and inclusivity, and when spoken to he emphasized the importance of ensuring that every child, regardless of their abilities, has access to the resources they need to succeed. “Education is a fundamental right, and it’s crucial that we provide all students with the tools they need to feel confident and valued in their learning environments,” said Nyakallo Makgoba. “By donating these school shoes, we hope to make a small but meaningful difference in the lives of these exceptional students.”
Shazia Patel, known for her community involvement, echoed Nyakallo Makgoba’s sentiments. “Every child deserves to start their school day with dignity and pride,” Patel remarked. “We are honored to support Casa Do Sol School and its incredible students, and we are committed to continuing our efforts to promote inclusivity and equal opportunities in education.”
The donation was warmly received by the Casa Do Sol School community. The school Principal expressed her gratitude, stating, “This generous donation from Nyakallo Makgoba and Shazia Patel, on behalf of the Archbishop Thabo Makgoba Development Trust, means so much to our students and their families. It is a testament to the power of community support and the positive impact it can have on our learners’ lives.”

I think she [Eleanor Roosevelt] was a shrewd politician, and very good in Public Relations, although she had the usual media help in this. As a Republican and a conservative, I can say ruefully that the Democrats and the liberals tend to get it; that when she said something, it was put in a nice way and highlighted properly by the appropriate media, so that it sounded good. – William A.
