Tshepo Mahlangu did not attend the Mandela Day on 18 July 2010, but sent new clothes to his linked child, Paulina Ndaba. The clothes were worth more than R300.
This is what he had to say on a letter addressed to Paulina;
“Dear Sesi Paulina Ndaba. I am sending this gift to you with lots of hugs and love. I have seen your photo and you are aa very very BEAUTIFUL young girl, and I know that when you grow up you will be someone great.
“Study very hard so that you pasyy your grade 4 and go to grade 5 next year.“Always know that in the eyes of a child… there is joy, there is laughter… theirs is hope; there is trust, a chance to shape the future. Your future will be bright when you study hard and do your home work. Little girls are made of angel’s ings and giggles and a glow and all the happy feelings, deep inside, that we will all know.
“I am sorry I am not able to come there today but I hope to meet you one day so that we can share stories and laaughter. Please pass my greetings to your friend Zansile, your sister and your mother.
“I love you
“From
