Former Miss South Africa Bokang Montjane-Tshabalala is doing her bit to assist underprivileged children who have been diagnosed with autism.

The media personality and beauty queen has devoted her time to assisting autistic children and has partnered with 5 preschools. Together, they hosted an event called 'An Ausome day with Bokang', where they participated in various fun activities.

Bokang speaks on her foundation

The wife of soccer star Simphiwe Tshabalala started this initiative as a mother of an autistic child. Her mission is simple: to make crucial services available to all children, and that accessibility should not be limited due to the kids' limited backgrounds.

Mrs Tshabalala also has plans to create a gym and a playground that the kids can use.

"Let’s bridge the gap and give the necessary resources needed to our “AUSOME” children," she said. "We are currently in need of setting up a beautiful OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY GYM and a beautiful playground for our children. If you know anyone who can assist, please contact us or tag them," she pleaded.
