    The Kulu Manzi scholarship program enters its second round

    We are very pleased to introduce the second recipient of our scholarship to you today. This year we again launched the scholarship together with the University of the Western Cape in Cape Town.

    Kulu Manzi in times of Corona crisis

    Covid-19 does not leave South Africa without a trace. After the start of the national lockdown on March 26th, curbing the virus has top priority. The rule is: stay at home and slow down the spread. Fortunately, most townships are still relatively unaffected. Nevertheless, we look towards Lavender Hill with concern: where so many people live together in a confined space, social distancing is a far greater challenge than for us in Germany. We hope that the measures will work and that the townships will be largely spared. Meanwhile, we are using the time and are working on new cooperation opportunities from Germany. After we established the handball programs at…
