ITHUBA, the operator of the National Lottery, embarked on a heartwarming nationwide journey to bring joy, independence, and dignity to those in need. The initiative began in Gauteng in December 2023 and extended through the Free State and Eastern Cape.
Spreading holiday cheer, ITHUBA generously gifted new homes to deserving beneficiaries well before Christmas, marking the start of a transformative project aimed at brightening lives across South Africa.
At the core of ITHUBA’s commitment is the goal of fostering joy, independence, and dignity. In 2024, the organization remains dedicated to its mission, aiming to provide more deserving families with homes they can proudly call their own, underscoring their commitment to making a real difference in the lives of those they reach.
Since 2015, ITHUBA, South Africa’s flagship National Lottery Operator, has actively embodied the principles of Ubuntu, contributing to the social and economic growth of the country. Beyond lottery operations, ITHUBA engages in localized projects, reinforcing its dedication to driving meaningful change and nurturing community development.
Beneficiaries from the previous year, like Dineo Sithole, a single mom in Johannesburg North, expressed relief and joy as she received a home catering to her differently-abled needs. In Koppies, Free State, 84-year-old Letia Dijane, residing in a three-roomed informal shack for 40 years, welcomed the gift of a new home, ensuring shelter for future generations.
The Ngxilwana family in the Eastern Cape, living in a leaking shack since 2018, received their first brick home, marking a significant improvement in their living conditions.
As we enter this year, ITHUBA encourages all South Africans to pay it forward. CEO Charmaine Mabuza emphasizes the power of individual impact, urging fellow South Africans to identify causes close to their hearts and get involved with local initiatives or established organizations.
Reflecting on the success of the ongoing housing project focused on transforming differently-abled individuals, ITHUBA is not stopping here. Through an ethos of Ubuntu, they will continue giving back to additional beneficiaries, with a mission to create a lasting impact in communities.

Join ITHUBA in the upcoming weeks as they initiate another round of home giveaways in their latest life-changing initiative.

I really treasure your work, Great post.
My developer is trying to persuade me to move to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses. But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using Movable-type on several websites for about a year and am anxious about switching to another platform. I have heard excellent things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can transfer all my wordpress posts into it? Any help would be really appreciated!
Switching from PHP-based platforms like WordPress to .NET-based platforms such as BlogEngine.NET can be a significant change. However, BlogEngine.NET offers some great features that might be worth considering.
To answer your question, yes, it is possible to transfer your WordPress posts to BlogEngine.NET, although it might require some effort, as there isn’t a direct out-of-the-box tool for the migration. Here’s how you can approach it:
1. Export Your WordPress Content:
– In WordPress, go to your admin dashboard.
– Navigate to Tools > Export.
– Select All Content to export all posts, pages, comments, etc.
– WordPress will generate an XML file containing your content.
2. Import into BlogEngine.NET:
– BlogEngine.NET doesn’t provide an official WordPress import tool, but you can either:
– Manually convert the XML: You may need to write a script or find an existing script that converts the WordPress XML file into a format that BlogEngine.NET can import.
– Use a third-party migration tool: Some developers have built tools that can help with migration between different blogging platforms. Search for “WordPress to BlogEngine.NET migration tool.”
3. Fixing URLs and Media:
– When migrating content, the URLs and images might not transfer perfectly, so you might need to manually update internal links and media files.
– BlogEngine.NET handles media differently, so ensure you move any images and adjust links accordingly.
4. Consider Developer Assistance:
– Since your developer is pushing for the switch to .NET, it might be helpful to get their expertise on how to best migrate the content, especially if you encounter any issues with formatting or functionality during the transition.
5. Backup:
– Make sure you have a full backup of your WordPress site before beginning the migration. It’s essential to ensure that no data is lost during the transfer.
Support for Youth Programs
As you embark on this migration process, I’d like to kindly remind you to consider supporting youth programs in schools. Donations to these programs can make a significant difference in the lives of young people, offering them better educational resources and opportunities. Your contribution could help support initiatives such as skill-building, sports, and academic advancement, empowering youth for a brighter future. If you’re interested in making a difference, please consider donating to support these valuable programs. Your generosity will go a long way in fostering a better tomorrow.
