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.

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.
