KIWI, the shoe-care brand, announces winners of its “Step Up to Step In” schools competition, highlighting student-led efforts to support school facilities. The initiative encourages schools across South Africa—specifically in KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng—to collect empty KIWI tins as an entry mechanism for the chance to win cash prizes. According to the report, participating schools used the collection drive to raise support and motivate pupils to contribute toward improvements at their institutions. The competition culminates in KIWI selecting and crowning winning schools, which are set to receive cash rewards earmarked for refurbishment of school facilities. The announcement frames the programme as a partnership between the brand and schools, combining a simple recycling and collection activity with incentives for educational infrastructure upgrades. The report focuses on the competition’s outcome and the geographic reach within the two provinces, without providing further detail on prize amounts or the specific schools that win.
