Belly2Brain’s cage lock-up initiative which aims to raise money for charity has gained major fame.
July 17 was Belly2Brain’s Dominique Tibbles’ third day behind bars at Cradlestone Mall. The goal was to be locked up for 67 hours to raise funds to make 16 000 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for local organisations, including The Cradle of Hope, The Bethany House Trust, Glow, Nic Diedrichs Feeding Program, Wings of Inspiration, and Grace House Upliftment Centre.
As the Krugersdorp News visited the West Rand’s ‘most wanted criminal’ in her cell on the third day, she was hoping for more residents to donate towards their initiative.

She said that she got better sleep than the previous nights because someone gave her earplugs. During the visit, Anzunél van der Walt was locked up with her for 67 minutes, where she donated R10 per minute she was locked up, raising R670. They also donated 67 sets of baby clothes and knitted articles.

“There was even a little girl who came to donate a tub of peanut butter,” Dominique said.
There were also 2 000 loaves of bread delivered. Dominique was subsequently released from her cell after 67 hours. The News will keep you updated on the results of the initiative which will be published in the July 26 edition of the News.
