King in fundraising drive in EL

AmaXhosa King Mpendulo Zwelonke Sigcau is planning to curb the rate of unemployment and poverty among his people after the launch of the inaugural Zwelonke Legacy Golf Day fundraiser in West Bank Golf Course in East London today.

This is part of raising funds for the King’s Development Legacy Projects that was launched on Saturday at the King Hintsa TVET College on Saturday last week.

Addressing the media and potential donors at the West Bank Golf Course yesterday, the king said the fundraiser’s main purpose is to gain funds and promote self- sustainability.

“I am worried when I see my people in poverty. I want all corporate companies to come on board and donate so that we can create more jobs for people,” he said.

King Sigcau said on the first day of the launch, R1.2-million was raised from various prominent people.
