Tekkie Tax Day hit South Africa on Friday.<\/p>\n

People from all walks of like were encouraged to support this worthy cause by either buying and wearing a T-shirt, shoe laces and\/or sticker on the day.<\/p>

You could show your support for either animals, bring hope, children, people with disabilities or education, or more than one.<\/p>\n

The GCN team showed their support on the day by teaming up with Child Welfare Germiston in their National Tekkie Tax Day campaign, and encouraged the community to get involved.<\/p>
