TAFELKOP – The Broadway Legacy Foundation recently visited Rammupudu Primary School, Motjedi Secondary School and Refilwe Secondary School in Tafelkop and surrounding villages as part of its 2025 activities to support learners in Sekhukhune and beyond.
The foundation presented learners with awards and gifts, aiming to inspire them to work harder and provide hope to educators.
According to Kholo Makena, Chairperson of the Broadway Legacy Foundation, the organization was established to address the challenges faced by rural communities, particularly in schools.
“We decided to act because we believe that our educators need our support as parents, academics, and the community in general. Working together as stakeholders will give hope to educators and inspire learners to work harder,” she said.
Makena’s passion for empowering women and bringing change to her community has not gone unnoticed.
Jeffrey Walker, Chairperson of Bana Ba Sekhukhune community solutions, praised her dedication, saying: “We need women like Mrs Makena in our communities, people with passion for people and the urge to bring change to your surroundings.”
Makena, who is also a community activist, received numerous awards as a testament to her commitment to empowering learners and communities.
She also participated in various national and international forums, including the Young Entrepreneurs of South Africa and the SAB Kickstarter.
Makena’s qualifications and experience are equally impressive, with a range of certifications and work experience in IT, project management, entrepreneurship, and social counselling.
Her dedication to empowering women and bringing change to her community is an inspiration to many.
Some of her other notable academic achievements include 100% pass rate in IT Network Engineering and 2-week ICT training in Shenzhen, China.
She said the Broadway Legacy Foundation’s visit to schools in Sekhukhune is a welcome development, and its efforts to support learners and educators are likely to have a positive impact on the community.
