The ‘Vaya Orlando’ remix singer has opened the ‘Malinga Foundation’ together with Damelin to help give back to the community by issuing bursaries to children with financial needs. Malinga’s foundation has kicked off with bursaries worth a R100 000 donated to three young students for post matric qualifications.“Investing in education is something that is important to me. I know what it is like when you have the desire to achieve more but have to battle with lack of finances”.“I have made an agreement with Damelin that when I do perform at their gigs, my payment in return must actually be issued to young people in need of bursaries, to enable them to study further” says Malinga.Before fame Malinga was just another fellow growing up at an informal settlement in Hammanskraal.His quick rise to fame blessed him with the ability to change his home situation.“Charity begins at home, I started giving back at home when my music career started taking form.“I built my grandmother a home as well as my mom, before building my own dreams,” Malinga says.An orphan from Pretoria in Mabopane, Andiswa Mtyhobile, (25) is one of the fortunate youngsters who now has a qualification in Sales, Marketing and Office Administration through Malinga’s help.
“I did a year course at Damelin last year, I studied sales and marketing for six months and Office Administration during the second half of the year. I qualified for a certificate in both.“I met Malinga at the orphanage. He used to come through to sing gospel and I was one of his back up singers. It was a surprise when he offered to take me to school. I am very grateful to have been given a chance to make something of myself”. “I hope to find a job and continue to study for a diploma,” Mtyhobile says.Twenty four year old Caro Malesa is currently doing her second year in Human Resource Management, studying for a diploma.“I matriculated in 2008 and could not study further – and Malinga restored my hopes of wanting to be a HR Manager,” Malesa says.Malinga is set to launch his website to help the youth in need of education assistance.The ‘Vaya Orlando’ remix singer has opened the ‘Malinga Foundation’ together with Damelin to help give back to the community by issuing bursaries to children with financial needs.Malinga’s foundation has kicked off with bursaries worth a R100 000 donated to three young students for post matric qualifications.
