The event was attended by former employees of TVT, members of the business community as well as local civil society organisations, including the Hillcrest AIDS Centre Trust’s CEO, Candace Davidson, who praised the 68-year-old organisation for its longevity and continued impact in the local communities and within KwaZulu-Natal.
According to TVT’s business development specialist, Pippa Whittle, a panel discussion, moderated by the current executive director, S’bo Vilakazi, engaged the former directors, Irwin Friedman, Keith Wimble and Tuki Maseatile.
It covered the recent riots that took place in Durban (and directly impacted TVT) and how communities and the country could protect themselves from such occurrences.
“We wish to thank all the businesses and individuals who contributed to making the event a success,” said Whittle.
The organisation looks forward to hosting further events to bring together relevant stakeholders to discuss matters that impact the wellbeing of local communities.
“TVT continues to collect donations of gifts, clothing or food for the children and their households in our Khula Kahle Mntwana (Grow Well, Child) Programme,” she added.
To donate, contact Pippa Whittle on 081 413 3996 or the TVT office on 031 716 6800.
