The ceremony was held at Itieleng community hall and it was focusing on honouring community volunteers and heroes around Itieleng village. However, it will rotate in villages around Sekgosese.

“The next village is Mahembeni (Soetfontein). I’m busy with arrangements. I will let you know of the date after we finalized everything”, said Nathi Maisha who is the vision-carer of Sekgosese Community Champions.

He further told Sekgosese Insider that the courage to host such a ceremony came from seeing people doing great things in moving the community forward but not being appreciated.

“So I wanted to put them in front of everyone to gain the recognition that they deserve. In that way it encourages other community members to touch others people’s lives and contribute positive deeds in moving our community forward”, he added.

During the day of the ceremony 13 community members were honoured and awarded with certificates. Their names were suggested by an organizing committee.

One of the honoured community volunteers is Mokgadi Elisa Raseasla who has volunteered as Ward Committee member, Home based care carer, deputy chairperson of SGB at Nkei primary school, Board member of SRDA and member of Fetogang Makgarebe.
