Nelson Modiba, Blessing Bengu, Wonderboy Madhlala and Muzi Nkosi spend time reading books.
COSMO CITY – Muzi Nkosi has received an overwhelming response from members of the public who want to help him reach his dream of building a community library in Cosmo City.
He said he has received more books since Randburg Sun published his story, Nkosi helps children read books, recently.
To date, one donor has already donated a Wendy house and he is currently using it to store books, chairs and tables.
About 90 children from low-income households flock to Cosmo City Kids’ Haven every weekday after school to read and borrow books. They are currently using a tent.
Nkosi is still waiting for a donor who will deliver containers from Soweto to Cosmo City. These containers were recently donated to him as he strives to achieve his goal to help children in the suburb develop a culture of reading.
“The donors are promising. One of them came to view the place and promised to move the containers,” he said.
The embassies of Vienna and Austria also came on board and promised to help him after he wrote to them.
“We also need a fencing to secure the property,” he said.
An unemployed Blessing Bengu endorsed Nkosi’s initiative and believes that it would help many children in Cosmo City. “I don’t have a full-time job, I am actually a labourer and when I am not doing anything I spend most of the time here, reading books,” he said.
Nelson Modiba added that it also helped children open up their minds. “Some of these children’s parents are not privileged and cannot afford to buy books,” he said.
