Meet eight year old Bokang Mosia. Bokang has been named Lead SA’s Youth Hero of July for taking his initiative to change the lives of others through the Bokang Blanket Drive.

Bokang had a brain tumour and one day, while on his way to a check up, he noticed that kids were sleeping on cardboard boxes and plastic bags.

Bokang wanted to make a change. So he asked friends, family and anyone who would listen to donate blankets. Together, he collected 60 blankets which was distributed through is blanket drive on Youth Day. He handed over the blankets to Usindiso Ministries (a shelter in Johannesburg), Ikusasa Lethu (an NGO in Soweto) and to a granny in Pimville who takes care of little kids.

But the little hero didn’t stop there. He went on a second collection drive for jerseys, beanies and socks and handed these over to Thembalethu Combined School in Eikenhof on Mandela Day.

Bokang is an inspiration to all South Africans.
