With so many sport start being in the news for all the wrong reasons, it’s refreshing to see someone like Bob Skinstad, ex Springbok Rugby captain, using his celebrity status to do some good.

Bob recently locked himself in a make-shift jail cell in the V&A Waterfront in an effort to create awareness and raise funds for the BobsforGood Foundation.

I paid him a visit and created this 360º from the inside of his ‘cell’.

According to the BobsforGood website, there are 7 million South African school children without shoes. The aim of the Foundation is to provide at least some of these kids the opportunity to own a proper pair to help them get to school.

Not only is it a very practical, down to earth and worthy cause, but it seems Bob and friends have put some thought into making it a sustainable one too.

So how can you get involved?
