Over the past 20 years, East Coast Radio’s Big Favour has helped thousands of non-governmental organisations, businesses and people in KwaZulu-Natal during difficult times. Hollywoodbets will donate R100 000 in aid of East Coast’s Radio Big Favour Campaign.

The communities of Tembisa, Kliptown and Soweto received some much-needed relief after a week of unrest in the province. Through the Hollywoodbets #HopeisPower campaign, DJ Shimza together with his Shimuzic Foundation made a R100 000 donation amongst community members and businesses in need.

Hollywoodbets and the Sharks have joined their efforts to rebuild KwaZulu-Natal by uplifting communities and the livelihoods of local citizens. As a part of the #HopeisPower campaign, Hollywoodbets proudly contributed R50k to the Sharks’ #handsofhope initiative.

This non-governmental organisation provides care, knowledge and support to the community of Bayview, Chatsworth, that has been severely affected by poverty and suffering caused by drug trafficking and substance abuse which contributes to Gender-Based Violence.

The Hollywoodbets team visited the Siza Community Care organisation, The organisation operates from uMlazi M section and provides a platform for agricultural stakeholders to have ethical and environmentally sustainable trade. We did a hand over of essential food parcels with food security proving difficult after the recent civil unrest.

Our Purple Team visited Ekhanana Old Age Home, based in Umlazi W Section. Hollywoodbets have recognised the importance of supporting the elderly during this time as many have found themselves in vulnerable circumstances as access to essentials may prove difficult.
