Motorbike from Kampala to Bothaville. Volksteun and FNSA are proud to announce an exciting initiative to assist those of our people who are severely impoverished as a result of racially discriminating labour legislation. Many of our people are stuck in white squatter camps with little help or hope.
For this reason, Piet Prinsloo will depart from Kampala in Uganda on 1 July with his motorcycle. He will drive through Central Southern Africa with his destination Bothaville. It is a trip of around 4300 kilometres. All along the route Piet will take pictures and send a daily report on his progress.
So where does Volksteun fit in?
Volksteun was recently registered as a Non Profit Company with a separate bank account number and Board of Directors. The main challenge is that we receive lots of clothes, but hardly any food -which is the biggest need. Piet’s trip will address this.
How can you be involved then?
There are one of three options:
1)To pledge a tin of canned food, a loaf of bread or any such item per kilometre of the trip. Or maybe a sack of potatoes, kilo of meat or similar for every day the trip takes.
2) To pledge an amount of anything from R1 up per kilo or per day which you can then pay directly into Volksteun’s bank account. (details below)
3) To undertake that you will do an online purchase with Makro for the foodstuff that you pledge, which Makro will then deliver to Volksteun’s head office. This means that even people outside of South Africa can take part in this drive!
The project will be co-ordinated by Lenel Cotty Wessels, who will send you full information via email. All you need to do is to comment leaving your email address under this post.
This is an exciting action by a brave man who wants to make a difference. This is our opportunity to support him, and those amongst our people who are looking up to us to help them regain their dignity!
Obviously Volksteun welcomes any support and contributions which can in future be paid into the following bank account from anywhere in the world:
Standard Bank.
