THE Majuba men and ladies from Irene made history this year by calling in the help of some of the South African celebrities to support their cause.

Majuba and Irene are raising funds for Wedergedenk Primary (a school in Stellenbosch) to have the children’s eyes tested and to pay for the needed glasses or operations.

Theuns Jordaan and Minki van der Westhuizen are both supporters of Majuba and have worked with the men in the past to help them promote the good work they are doing for the community. And during ­RAG Mr South Africa, Dieter Voight, also came out to support the team with his close friend, the singer Lara Frances.

Herman Pieters (Majuba representative) said that “now at the end of RAG 2008, one can not help but realise that South Africa still has a great heart for its children, and we are grateful for every sponsor and every motorist that stopped to throw a few coins into our tins for this amazing project”.
