10MillionMasks: Two mask heroes spread Ubuntu in PotchShare this article: Share Tweet Share Share Share Email SharePotchefstroom - When Leonette Smit returned to her hometown of Potchefstroom to be close to her 93-year-old mother, after spending more than three years in Vanwyksvlei, a small town in the Northern Cape, she had to build up a new community – again. And so, these two unlikely “mask heroes”, Smit and De Sa found themselves thrown together by both the coronavirus and the call of 10MillionMasks to serve their community. Both mask heroes and seven others, who in turn work with their immediate families and friends making or delivering, sanitising or producing the instructions, are continuing to keep the movement successful. 10MillionMasks has partnered with Independent Media to drive the "Heroes don't wear capes, they wear masks" campaign.
