The initiative falls part of the '#KrushGoodness' project by Clover Krush — a brand which aims to be synonymous with 'spreading goodness' — that has ensured that 30 000 school children from communities in need across South Africa have received a brand new pair of school shoes between 2018 and 2019.
According to Stats South Africa, approximately 70% of learners walk to school every day, many of whom walk barefoot or with damaged shoes. Because of this, the '#KrushGoodness' project intends to make a sustainable difference in the lives of a further 20 000 learners across South Africa.
Other individuals who are part of the '#KrushGoodness Krew' in 2020 include:
- Dineo Langa
- Clement Maosa
- Omuhle Gela
- Brent Lindeque

- Minki van der Westhuizen
