Cape Town – Seeing a little girl walk to school wearing a dishevelled uniform tugged at the heartstrings of third-year Cape Peninsula University of Technology student Olwethu Maqungo, 20, who has become a big sister to the pupil and at least 11 other children.“As I was waiting for her to come closer I noticed she wasn't well dressed.She said she was walking slowly because she was scared the teacher would shout at her as she didn't have her books covered and had no stationery.
Maqungo has not stopped with helping one family and now assists at least 11 other children with school uniforms and stationery.“Within this journey I found myself a new family, and she is like my little sister, and I make sure that I spend the spare time I have with them.”
