Sosoboy Fosho Foundation And Somizi Foundation Put Humanity First This Festive
Season With Powerful Eastern Cape Outreach
Eastern Cape, South Africa – 29 December 2025 – In a moving demonstration of compassion, unity, and social responsibility, the Sosoboy Fosho Foundation, in collaboration with the Somizi Foundation, embarked on impactful humanitarian initiatives aimed at restoring dignity and hope to vulnerable communities in the Eastern Cape.
In November, the two foundations visited dozens of distressed families in Unit P, Mdantsane, where the artists personally handed over much-needed supplies and spent time engaging with affected community members. The visit was marked by warmth and sincerity as the team made a special effort to spoil the grannies of Unit P with grocery hampers, recognising them as the backbone of many households and honouring their resilience amid difficult circumstances.
Speaking on the initiative, Sosoboy Fosho said: “Giving back has always been part of who I am. This initiative was also made possible through the support of Asanda Empires, the label I am under, who continuously believes in using our
platform for purpose. These grannies are raising families under very difficult conditions, and we wanted them
to feel seen, appreciated, and supported.”
This spirit of giving was carried forward into December, following a major career milestone for Sosoboy Fosho.
On 13 December, Sosoboy Fosho was honoured at the Annual Eminent Music Video Awards in Mpumalanga, where he scooped two prestigious awards. Best Styled Video and Best Hip-Hop Video. These accolades cemented his status as one of the most visually compelling and impactful hip-hop artists of his generation. Reflecting on the achievement, Sosoboy Fosho shared:
“These awards are a blessing, but they also come with responsibility. Success means nothing if it doesn’t uplift others.”
Rather than celebrating solely for himself, Sosoboy Fosho chose to turn his success into purpose.
In celebration of the wins, Sosoboy Fosho and Somizi returned to the Eastern Cape to give back during the festive season. The artists hosted a Christmas outreach at Masizakhe Children’s Home, where they donated toys, shared meals with the children, and spent meaningful time creating joy and unforgettable memories. The initiative not only made Christmas special for the children but proved equally fulfilling for Sosoboy Fosho and Somizi, who firmly believe that true success is measured by how much one gives back to those in need.
Somizi added:
“Christmas is about love, kindness, and showing up for those who need it most. Seeing the joy on the children’s faces reminded us why we do this.”
Sosoboy Fosho’s festive season was one of the busiest of his career, with bookings across the country. However, in a deeply personal decision, he chose to spend New Year’s Eve with his family and return once more to the children’s home to sing for the kids, reinforcing his commitment to community, family, and service.
Closing off, Sosoboy Fosho said:
“No matter how busy life gets, giving back grounds me. These children and families remind us of what truly matters.”
Through these acts of generosity, the Sosoboy Fosho Foundation and Somizi Foundation continue to demonstrate that humanity, empathy, and action remain at the heart of their missions. Their work stands as a powerful reminder that giving back is not a seasonal gesture, but a lifelong calling.
