Dr. Molepo founded the Thusangwanageno campaign, a non-profit organization that raises funds for university and college registrations and unpaid fees for students in Pretoria and other provinces around the country. He approached the robots after learning that students were unable to graduate due to outstanding and registration fees. He requested R5 donations to assist students with their tuition expenses.

Their most recent and significant accomplishment is assisting more than 600 students with tuition fees and registration fees to tertiary students. This is done to ensure that they have a driver's license when they finish their degree. The program has helped over 100 pupils obtain driver's licenses thus far.

"We become happy when students graduate and thrive because of us," said Dr. Molepo, founder of the Thusangwanageno organization. "Some even come back and give us feedback and help with donations after they have graduated or after getting jobs," he added.

Their funding mostly comes from standing at the robots asking for donations from the community and generous people who are willing to adopt students and contribute from private companies and members of the organization itself. Their urgent need right now is funding so that they can also grow other programs in the organization such as painting of schools and donating books to schools in the community.

Lebogang Zondo who was studying at the Tshwane University of Technology said that Thusangwanageno helped her a lot, she never thought that she would graduate because she used to owe the institution. Thusangwanageno helped her a lot by paying my tuition fees and she was able to graduate and that meant a lot for her.

Thusangwanageno also donates mini libraries to schools in Pretoria, covers school books, and paints schools. They allow volunteers in the organization to help with what they can or have. Dr. Molepo concluded that they hope to help every student around the country because education is important.

The event begins with players on a ship that seems to be a modified version of the Mecha robot introduced in season 9. The Scie
