The launch of the cheer fund which has became an annual event is going to be followed by a fundraising golf tournament with a set target of of US$ 5000, on the 24th of October 2021. Historically, charities have always seen an increase in donations around festive period, referred to as the ‘December effect’, an ideal time for fundraising for the less privileged and give them a festive cheer.
The community embraced the season of good will and the donations will help in the continuity of the Mayor’s office’s efforts to assist the less privileged members of the community.
Speaking during the launch, His Worship, Cllr. C. Maboke reiterated the need for members of the community to answer to the plight of the less privileged. ‘I therefore call upon each and everyone of us to come forth and make sure that we assist each other to shape our future and our city’, he said.
All the proceeds will be channeled towards the less privileged within our communities
