"The 70 000 National School Shoes project is just the beginning of what we intend to become an annual initiative under the Celebrities for Good Causes Foundation. The basis of the organisation is to encourage South African celebrities to utilise their positive influences and networks under one banner the lives of those in need. To date we have already secured 25 000 pairs of school shoes," explained Lillian.
Lillian will also be celebrating her birthday in style at a public dinner party at Gold Reef City on Thursday night, where musicians such as Mi Casa, Brian Temba and Tats Nkonza will be performing.
