Emfuleni Local Municipality MMC for Public Safety Ndade Mokoena said that his office is going to adopt Mojalefa's initiative.
"Many kids go for months without their hair being cut or plaited into a nice hairstyle, and that ruins a child's confidence because they are often mocked about their hair," Mokoena told the People's Paper.
Hair salon owner Tsietsi Motloung said he was happy to be part of an initiative aimed at giving kids confidence.
"I have 25 boys who come to my shop every two weeks for a free haircut," he said.
