Social Responsibility

Totius Primary School
MSP / Radio Tygerberg Winter Warmers  

On Friday 16 July 2010, MSP Developments together with Radio Tygerberg endured the cold wet weather to warm up those less privileged in one of Cape Town’s disadvantaged communities by handing out over a thousand warm blankets and meals.

We (MSP, staff and suppliers) collectively managed to raise close to R25 000 in cash and hand over not only a large quanity of blankets but also various parcels of food.

Totius Primary School
SA Legends Cup  

MSP Developments is proud to be the title sponsor of the SA Legends Cup programme donating R400 000 to the cause. The aim of the programme is to introduce 5 000 school children to rugby and to encourage the game in Cape Town’s townships.

The Legends Cup, through “VUKA Tournaments”, aims to establish a rugby-playing culture over 50 schools, most of which do not currently play the game, as well as providing a competitive framework for the schools in four identified zones, namely Mitchells Plain, Khayaletshia, Gugulethu/Nyanga and Langa.

The initiative is a partnership between SA Rugby Legends Association, Ubumbo, UCTRFC, the Department of Education, and the Western Province Rugby Football Union and is endorsed by SA Rugby.

This project will give promising youngsters from disadvantaged communities the opportunity to develop their skills and receive top coaching. MSP’s involvement with the Legends Cup is the start of a great long-term partnership and will create opportunities for unprivileged youngsters to become part of a trust which will guide them through their childhood keeping them on the right track and part of something remarkable.
