Lotsane SSS Bails Out Diabetic Student

Babi, 19, is an orphan who is being looked after by his poverty stricken grandfather. His sugar diabetes condition has reached a stage where he has to have insulin injections on a daily basis. But because he and grandfather had no fridge Babi used to bury his medication in the sand and pour water on top to keep it cool before going to school.

His school head of department Jimmy Mathuba heard about Babi's touching situation from other students and eventually approached management to do something for the poor boy. All the people in the school responded positively to Babi's situation as each non-teaching staff contributed P50, teachers P100 and students asked to contribute P2 each.
