DJ Shimza Donates 2,000 School Shoes to Disadvantaged Children in Thembisa

Renowned DJ Ashley “Shimza” Raphala has donated 2,000 school shoes to disadvantaged children in Thembisa through his Shimza Foundation, in partnership with the Hollywood Foundation. The donation is part of the foundation’s annual effort to support less privileged children, a mission that has been ongoing since the foundation’s establishment in 2016.

“The most important thing we can do as communities is to invest in any way possible towards education,” Shimza shared on X. “Thank you for supporting the One Man Show. You’ve contributed to 2,000 school shoes that will be contributing towards the education of our community. Thank you. Without you this would never be possible.”

Shimza emphasised that the initiative was about more than just shoes. “This is more than just shoes — it’s a symbol of hope, motivation, and the power of education. To every child out there: remember, every great journey begins with a single step.”

The DJ also expressed gratitude to the Hollywood Foundation for its collaboration in making this impactful donation possible. “Thank you to a very fruitful partnership with @hwfoundation and @shimuzic_foundation,” he said, acknowledging the joint effort in changing lives for the better.
