Johannesburg – Actress and television host Khanyi Mbau has vowed to help reshape the future of South African youth by assisting them with financial aid.
The Red Room actress has joined forces with businessman Tim Hogins to assist youth with funding for their educational and finding employment and mentorship programmes.
Taking to social media, the star announced the partnership with Hogins, the CEO of Green Outdoor Gyms, who went from a security guard to becoming the owner of a multimillion rand recreational and wellness company.
Mbau said in the past to years, she’s been bombarded with messages from young people seeking financial assistance from her.
“My DMS have been filled with youth sending me messages asking me to help them with their tuition, food, accommodation, or just help them find work.
“I’ve come together with a few friends to form something called the ZA Youth Movement (ZAYM). This is where we would like to create a portal, where we can find solutions to help the youth help themselves.”
She went on to encourage all South Africans to adhere to the health and safety regulations to curb the coronavirus pandemic.
According to ZAYM website, the movement’s purpose is to mobilise the youth with the objective of ending their dependency on government and others.
