The team-up started when pH decided to match Shimza's additional donations, by donating an additional R30,000 for food parcels and became a partner in this initiative.
With R60,000 raised, 120 food parcels will be delivered, which will each feed a family of five for a month. This means that a total of 600 people will have food for the next month.
This Thursday, the Lotus Street Foundation, Shimza, pH and Robben Island Museum representatives, will head to Bellville South, Scottsville, Langa and Delft to make these deliveries.
Three weeks ago, on Mandela Day, Shimza made history as the first-ever artist to perform live on Robben Island, to raise funds for those most affected by Covid-19, during another one of his One Man Shows. For two hours, Shimza performed under the beautiful Cape Town sunshine, in the centre of the lime quarry on Robben Island, right next to the 1983 380 SE Mercedes-Benz that Nelson Mandela used during his 1994 electoral campaign. With picturesque aerial views of the whole island, its heritage and the beautiful view of Cape Town, this monumental event was a sight to behold for all South Africans.
