Bongiwe Hlophe who works under the Department of Home Affairs in Gauteng has created an organisation that aims to uplift lives of many Hammarsdale residents.


The 32-year-old female born and bred in the semi-rural township of Hammarsdale outer west of Durban, KwaZulu-Natal has surprised many people by opening an organisation that has changed and assisted lives of many. Umusa NoThando Foundation was founded in 2012 and officially registered in 2020.


Bongiwe Hlophe said her main aim and purpose is to encourage a society that is loving and caring


“The aim and purpose is encourage and promote a loving, caring, self-sufficient and well-developed society by teaching and heartening Ubuntu in our communities,” said Hlophe.


Hlophe said that one of the big and successful program Umusa NoThando Foundation held was in 2021, when they visited a primary school in Hammarsdale Unit four Emaxulwini Primary School and handed out new school shoes to children who were in need and also gave them some food parcels.


“To mention one program out of all the programs that we have had is when my team and I decided that for my birthday we will be spending my day doing what we love the most, changing lives and bringing change. Emaxulwini primary was the school we visited to give and bless little lives with school shoes and some little food snacks to make them even more happy,” mentioned Hlophe.


Hammarsdale community members are very proud of Hlophe as she has brought nothing but positive change in a township mostly known for it high rate of crime and killings.

“We are fortunate to have people like Bongiwe in Hammarsdale. This is a sign that there is still hope Hammarsdale can still be a better place and not only be recognised for it crime and killings but for bringing change,” said Molefe.


Hlophe said that they would like to invite the public to go this journey with her and her team of saving and changing lives, they are accepting and appreciating anyform of donations or assistance because without the help of the public her organisation would not be successful. The email that can be used to reach the Umusa NoThando Foundation team is umusanothando@gmail.com the organisation is also available on Facebook as Umusa NoThando Foundation, where they can also accept direct messages whenever one needs to reach them.
