We are humbled to have Devoted Magazine as a sponsor for our favourite feature called “Community Builder Award” , where our readers are given a chance to select people who are doing wonders for community but does not get much recognition.
Anna Mametsa (56) is from Moletjie Mabokelele, Limpopo Province in South Africa. Popularly known as Mother Theresa wa Moletjie, Anna donates school uniforms, shoes, sanitary pads, pens and colouring pens to underprivileged.
“My aim is to boosts smile and bring back confidence to our learners out there. I collect pre loved clothes and food parcels to the needy. I also award top performing learners as a token of appreciation and motivation. As part of empowering women, I am currently attending skills course and raise funds by baking”, she said.
A nurse by profession, Anna is proud to win multi awards, Community Builder Award 2006, Community Builder in Health Awards 2023 and feel honoured to be awarded as a Community Builder by Devoted Magazine.
“Lots of people say nurses are rude and cruel but am totally different. People love what I do to change our community lives. My son was bullied at school by a learner who use to take his pocket money and food. I went to school to complain but my anger turned into tears when I found out that learners are struggling”, she concluded.
Mother Theresa wa Moletjie believes that community lives can be changed if we hold hands. Rise Africans Newspaper is proud of her.
