For the past 36 years, Reach For A Dream Foundation has been fulfilling dreams for children with illnesses such as cancer, heart conditions, and organ failure to name a few.
Each day, the foundation brings more than six dreams to life, whether it's meeting their role model, receiving something they've always dreamed of, or experiencing the joy of their dream destination for the first time.
These moments offer relief, inspiration, and the courage to keep dreaming.
Since its launch in 2011, Slipper Day has united the nation in support of these children, growing into one of South Africa's most anticipated fundraising campaigns. This year, we're doing it for the dreamers, because every sticker sold helps bring joy to a child in need.
'Slipper Day is South Africa's cosiest fundraiser, and this year, we're doing it for the dreamers. Something as simple as buying a Slipper Day sticker and wearing slippers, becomes a powerful symbol of hope, comfort, and the belief that every child deserves to dream. Let's come together and show these children that they are not alone on their journey,' said Julia Sotirianakos, CEO of Reach For A Dream.
Over the years, schools and companies across South Africa have embraced Slipper Day, trading their everyday shoes for slippers in honour of children who spend their days in hospital.
This year, we call on even more schools, businesses, and communities to do it for the dreamers – because every dream fulfilled brings light to a child's toughest days.

Katlego Maboe finds joy in Greece with a sun-soaked escape
Katlego Maboe experiences joy in Greece by playing at the beach. Image: Instagram There are plenty of places to experience joy, but for Katlego Maboe, Greece is undoubtedly the ultimate destination of delight. The award-winning TV host and singer is currently having the time of his life, soaking up the sun and the warm ambience that the enchanting Mediterranean country has to offer. Maboe recently took to Instagram to share snapshots of his blissful getaway, showcasing his stay at the luxurious Club Med Gregolimano. 'Joy in Greece 🇬🇷 😃,' he expressed enthusiastically in a post, capturing the essence of his joyous retreat. In the vibrant photos, the dynamic Maboe is spotted holding a beach ball and frolicking on the beach, with the sapphire blue waters of the Aegean Sea glistening behind him, a breathtaking backdrop that further enhances the spirited nature of his holiday. But it's not just sun and sand that has caught Maboe's fancy. He took an artistic turn on his holiday by paying homage to the 1970s - an era synonymous with flair and charisma.

'Gregolimano provided the canvas, while fun, good energy, and pure enjoyment were the primary colours of the time. 🤔 I think I was born in the wrong decade because this look from the 70s has me in a chokehold…⏳…' His retro fashion statements speak to a personality unafraid of self-expression, wrapped in the joy of nostalgia. Maboe's getaway comes on the heels of his much-anticipated return to The Expresso Morning Show in August 2022, following a two-year hiatus focused on resolving personal matters. After a strenuous legal battle, he was finally absolved of allegations of abuse in January 2022, paving the way for a fresh start.

Bheki Ndamase talks about how to slay like a content creator
Digital marketer and content creator Bheki Ndamase has carved a career in the spotlight defined by his exuberant videos and stylish images that capture his love for chic fashion and fun one-of-a-kind experiences. This year he will be a part of Hollywood Bets' Durban July fashion takeover, as one of several ambassadors for the company. We catch up with the star on how he will take on new styling, his tips for red carpet newbies and his preferred theme. What can fans who follow your looks expect this year? Something that is going to be out of my comfort zone. I'm not someone who likes a lot of colour but I want to express myself in a bright manner because the theme is South African and South Africans express their happiness in colours. You are no stranger to creating red carpet moments, but for the newbies who have to take on the spotlight for the first time, what advice do you have? People need to wear what they are comfortable with. You don't want to arrive on a red carpet with, for example, a short skirt. You don't want to be caught pulling it down constantly. It could become a media moment and because the media has expanded to content creators, imagine you are in the background of a video fixing whatever fashion faux pas you are busy with. Be comfortable in what you will be wearing. What three essential items do you have in your bag at any event? A tripod Lip gloss Power bank What are the 'marvels of Mzansi' that fill you with pride? Besides our noticeable ubuntu, it's that we have so much freedom in our country. We are so different, from the tribes to the different races. There are Indian or Chinese people who are South African and while other countries would be calling to chase them out, they are at home here. There's a great freedom of expression that allows us to express ourselves in so many ways and I think that's why even our TikTok is globally recognised as one of the top ones. Some other countries don't give people that freedom. What theme would you like to see at next year's event? To relate it to Hollywood Bets, I would say The Purple Effect, to see how everyone interprets different shades of purple. A collaborative theme.
