"The programmes feed 2.3 million KZN kids daily" - KZN Dept Education

This festive season, East Coast Radio is helping fill more than just hearts - we’re filling plates across KZN with Season of Sharing 2025: Feeding Smiles, in partnership with Pick n Pay.

When school feeding programmes pause over the holidays, thousands of children are left without a daily meal. But together, we can change that. Last year, you helped raise over R1.15 million - and this year, the goal is even bigger!

Carol Ofori spoke to Muzi Mahlambi, Head of Communication for the KZN Department of Education, about how these feeding programmes impact children’s lives, and why your support this season matters more than ever.

Donate now at ecr.co.za or join our live Telethon on November 7 by calling 087 087 9495 - and help feed smiles across KwaZulu-Natal.
