Matthew Mole and a purple tortoise called Trouble Claws

“It’s the best place in the world! I love it so much, I come here as often as I can,” says Cape Town-born-now-living-in-Joburg musician, Matthew Mole.
This is why the 22 year old jumped at the chance to head to Durban to help with East Coast Radio’s Toy Story with Game Corporate Day challenge on 12 November 2013.
The affable, down-to-earth musician, who made South African chart history in July by becoming the first local artist to enter the iTunes album chart at No 1 with his debut, The Home We Built, says he loves being part of initiatives that benefit children.
“My favourite toy growing up, was a little, purple tortoise. I called him Trouble Claws,” beams Matthew as he takes a break from answering the Toy Story pledge lines. “Apparently I was so attached to Trouble Claws, I couldn’t let go of him!”
Which is why Matthew can understand how lonely a childhood can be without a little something special to keep you company, to be your friend, your comfort, your buddy. Many children in KZN do not have the luxury of owning a new toy. They have never experienced trembling fingers unwrapping a new toy; the shiver of anticipation when presented with a gift; the comfort of something that is completely theirs. This is the story of Toy Story – bringing light, love and even hope to thousands of little ones on the east coast. We raised more than R1 million during our Corporate Day Challenge on Tuesday. The money will be used to provide food for KZN’s underprivileged at the same time as hospital and orphanage toy drop-offs continue.
Matthew has promised to be a part of Toy Story every year as he, like tens of thousands of KZN residents, is determined to make a difference in the lives of those less fortunate. He has just wrapped up filming the music video for his latest track, Take Yours I’ll Take Mine, which he says was “loads of fun since we shot in 18 different locations in Joburg.”
Despite having legions of fans across the country, Matthew’s feet are firmly on the ground. “I’m not used to this fame game. It’s still a shock when someone comes up to me. I’m still learning how all that works,” says the Toy Story hero, as he goes back to taking calls from other Toy Story heroes.
