IN AN effort to aid Project Rhino in protecting white and black rhino populations, Kingsway High School are raising funds and walked for the anti-poaching cause.
Project Rhino was launched on World Rhino Day, September 22, 2011. It is a rhino-focused association that brings together a provincial government conservation body, private and community-owned reserves, rhino owners, leading conservation non-government organisations and anti-poaching security specialists in the common aim of fighting wildlife crime.

“We had Grant Fowlds from Project Rhino address our learners, after the walk around the premises, and let them know just how important the cause is,” said the school’s marketing assistant, Tumi Moumakwa.
The school is still accepting donations towards Project Rhino. The cut-off date is on September 22.
Moumakwa added that the continued support is greatly appreciated. Spirits continued to be high throughout the day as they also had a fun sports day. “Learners played against staff members, and boy did staff dominate. The staff won the soccer game 2-0 and netball game 5-2,” said Moumakwa.
Monetary donations can be made at the school’s finance office, or at the following banking details: Kingsway High School, First National Bank, branch code: 220127, account number: 50921293979, reference: RP/ your cellphone number. Email proof of payment to finance@kingsway.co.za.
