KwaZulu-Natal: The Hollywood Foundation, in collaboration with esteemed partners including the Ntenga Foundation and SANTACO KZN, concluded its impactful 2024 #BackToSchool Campaign on 09 April, with heartening initiatives aimed at uplifting education in KwaZulu-Natal.
Continuing their commitment to fostering positive change, the three organisations embarked on a transformative endeavour targeting NqabakaZulu Secondary School in KwaMashu. Recognising the pressing need for improved sanitation facilities, the teams worked tirelessly to address deficiencies, repairing and enhancing ablution amenities. Their efforts translated into tangible improvements, ensuring a more conducive learning environment for the learners.
In a parallel visit to Khulangolwazi Special School in Monclair, the Hollywood Foundation and its partners delivered a second wave of support, echoing their commitment to educational excellence. In addition to a contribution of essential school supplies, the students were treated to a joyous day of entertainment, games, and snacks, infusing renewed enthusiasm for the academic journey ahead.
Speaking at the event, Morgan Shandu, Hollywood Group Executive, thanked SANTACO and Ntenga Foundation for their unwavering support towards this initiative. “It is important for us as a business to uplift the communities in which we operate. We have seen the positive impact that our Back To School Campaign has had over the years, alleviating the financial burdens faced by parents and schools alike. We are determined to continue to uphold our responsibility to our children.”
SANTACO’s Durban Central Chairman, Yusuf Khaliva said, “It was a very special day today.

We would like for this partnership to continue and grow from strength to strength.”
