But gospel-music artist and former street child Sechaba this week brought a rare spark of Christmas cheer to the grubby lives of Johannesburg street children by handing out goodies to them.

We laud artists who strive to make a difference in the lives of others.

We hope other artists will follow Sechaba's example by practising what they preach.

Sechaba's rags-to-riches story is bound to enrich those who truly believe in giving back.
