having to pay for their back-to-school necessities.<\/p>\n<p>With this in mind, the ANC Youth League (ANCYL) in Ward 39 has embarked on a #Back2School Campaign.<\/p><div class=\"stream-item

them with school shoes, a school bag and stationery for the new school year,\u201d explained Prince Rulashe, ANCYL Ward 39 chairperson.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe decided to launch this project as many parents cannot afford to buy school supplies and this can make it difficult for children when they return to school.<\/p><div class=\"stream-item stream-item-in-post stream-item-inline-post aligncenter\"><\/div>\n<p>\u201cWe want to ensure we bring dignity to the poor and underprivileged so they can look forward to the new year of school and obtain a good education.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rulashe urged local businesses and companies to get involved in the campaign by donating school shoes, a school bag and stationery.<\/p>\n<h4>ALSO READ: <a
