The Public Relations Manager from Sam Junior Mbatha Foundation who was also Sam’s colleague and friend, Queen Katlego Molebatsi said that the foundation will be perusing the mark which the late Sam Junior Mbatha left behind, which is the passion he had for educational empowerment and being an activist against violence and hate crimes against the LGBTQI+ community.
