Moti Cares delivers 2 000 blankets and loaves of bread to Soweto residents ahead of the winter chill

As winter sets its grip on Gauteng, the Moti Cares Foundation visited Soweto to distribute 2 000 blankets and bread loaves to residents in Dlamini and Orlando East Image: Supplied As winter sets its grip on Gauteng, the Moti Cares Foundation visited Soweto to distribute 2 000 blankets and bread loaves to residents in Dlamini and Orlando East, bringing comfort and dignity to families facing the bitter cold with limited resources. Led by Zunaid Moti – prominent investor, philanthropist, and founder of the Moti Cares Foundation, this past weekend's efforts continued the Foundation's commitment to respond directly to the needs of local communities when the urgency is highest. With the early morning cold slowly lifting, queues formed quietly at both locations as volunteers from across the province prepared for the handovers. Working closely with community organisers and residents, the Moti Cares team made sure the support reached elderly residents, large families, and those most in need. The handovers form part of the broader Moti Cares Winter Drive, which aims to distribute 20 000 blankets this winter. Many stops are based on public nominations submitted via social media and email, where concerned citizens highlight organisations, neighbourhoods, and individuals they believe urgently need assistance. 'If a blanket helps someone sleep through the night, or lets a parent breathe a little easier, then we've done what we came to do,' said Moti. 'This drive is about community, dignity, and standing together when it matters.' The Moti Cares Foundation has built a reputation for stepping in where help is needed most – from food relief and crisis response to long-term community support. Its work spans years of active giving across South Africa, with a range of remarkable initiatives that have brought assistance to millions of families during some of the country's most challenging times.

With each blanket and loaf of bread handed over, the mission remains clear: restore dignity, respond to real needs, and reach as many communities as possible. Soweto follows earlier handovers in Katlehong, Langlaagte, and Vrededorp. The next stop is scheduled for the Western part of Johannesburg, with more communities being confirmed each week. 'We don't measure impact by numbers,' Moti added. 'We measure it by moments – moments where someone feels seen, safe, and supported. That's what Moti Cares is all about.' BUSINESS REPORT
