Masibuyisane Community Projects Hosts Heart-Warming Christmas Gifts Celebration for Children in KwaMhlanga (Mpumalanga)
Masibuyisane Community Projects, in partnership with the PhophiAnnah Foundation and its associates, hosted a memorable Christmas Gifts Celebration for local children on 22 November 2025. The event took place at 100 Tweefontein-Ia, Miliva Crossroads, KwaMhlanga (0458), bringing together community leaders, families, and supporters for a day of joy, learning, and giving.
The programme began with a moving Opening Prayer led by Pastor Masombuko, followed by a warm Welcome Address from the founders — Ms. Tryphosa Singo, Founder of the PhophiAnnah Foundation and Co-host, alongside Ms. Sebenzile Mazibuko, Founder and CEO of Masibuyisane Community Projects.
A panel of distinguished guest speakers graced the event, including Comrade Mr Lebo Matjelibe, Mrs Thabile Mabele (Mrs Township South Africa 2026 Semi-Finalist), Mrs Lucy Mdluli, a professional nurse from Tweefontein A Clinic, the Nkangala Fire Department, Mrs Gladys Chauke, and Mrs Julia Mlotshwa.
Their messages focused on education, safety, positive decision-making, and community values.
The event’s success was also made possible by the invaluable support of Mrs Julia Mlotshwa, whose dedication and coordination played a key role in organising the celebration. Her commitment ensured smooth planning, strong stakeholder involvement, and a joyful experience for all children who attended.
Entertainment kept the atmosphere vibrant throughout the programme. Children showcased their talents through various performances from Bhinca Ntombi group, Tiego dance Performance, supported by energetic musical sessions from the DJ after each speaker. The traditional performances by The Ndebeles received enthusiastic appreciation from parents and community members.
The event featured memorable moments including photography sessions, cake cutting, lunch for all attendees, and the highlight of the day — the distribution of gifts and party packs to the children. This was made possible through the generosity of Santa Shoe Box, the main sponsor.
Delivering her message of gratitude, Ms. Sebenzile Mazibuko expressed heartfelt appreciation to Santa Shoe Box for bringing joy to the children. She also acknowledged the strong partnership between Masibuyisane Community Projects and the PhophiAnnah Foundation — a partnership that has grown since 2022 and continues to inspire other organisations.
She thanked all participants, including entertainers like Tiego, the Freedom Gospel Church for the venue, and essential services such as the Nkangala Fire Fighters Department and Tweefontein A Clinic for their presence and support.
Another highlight was the message from Mrs Thabile Mabele, Mrs Township South Africa 2026 Semi-Finalist. She motivated the children to dream big, make positive choices, and stay committed to their goals, receiving loud cheers from the young audience.
She also extended warm birthday wishes to Ms. Tryphosa Singo, Founder of the PhophiAnnah Foundation, who chose to celebrate her birthday by giving back to the children — a gesture praised as “a beautiful way to pour love into young lives.”
Under the leadership of Ms. Sebenzile Mazibuko, with strong support from Mrs Julia Mlotshwa, the event ran smoothly from start to finish. The Christmas Gifts Celebration brought families, volunteers, and the community together for a festive day filled with love, unity, and hope.
Masibuyisane Community Projects extended sincere gratitude to all sponsors, partners, parents, and supporters who contributed to the event’s success. The organisation remains committed to uplifting communities and creating meaningful opportunities for children.
