Late last year, the station ran its annual Toy Story campaign that saw over 10,000 new toys donated and over R1.2-million raised through the 12-hour long telethon.

This Mandela Day, East Coast Radio will be visiting the four rural schools; Mqongqotho Primary School, Mqhathi Primary School, Jabulani Primary School and Maria Memorial School who benefitted from the contributions made through Toy Story.

The Principal of Mqhathi Primary School spoke to Thandolwethu about the repairs done through this project. Listen below:
