    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.

The name of this year’s scholarship holder is Emilia Adonis. She is from Eerste River, a suburb of Cape Town. With the help of our funding, she was able to enroll in the “Sports Development” master’s course. Emilia is an ambitious and determined young woman and already has an impressive path behind…

    Kulu Manzi becomes an association!

    At the end of a turbulent 2020, we turned Kulu Manzi into a non-profit (unregistered) association. With the founding of the association, we have taken another decisive step in the history of Kulu Manzi and have rewarded ourselves for an admittedly not always easy year. The Kulu Manzi project thus becomes the Kulu Manzi association. The big advantage for you as a supporter: From now on we are allowed to issue donation receipts and thus provide our donors with tax breaks. Something hasn’t changed, though: Our primary goal is still to make sure that all donations reach our projects in Cape Town without any detours. We are sure that this…

    Inside Kulu Manzi

    Do you sometimes wonder what we do at Kulu Manzi all the time? Usually we give you updates about news from Cape Town, share the latest developments in our projects with you or tell you how our current protégé is doing at university. Today, however, we would like to give you an insight into our – well, maybe not daily, but regular – work for Kulu Manzi. It has changed a lot in the past few years. In the early days of Kulu Manzi – when we were still called the Kulu Manzi Surfing Foundation – a large part of our work was supporting the local Lavender Hill children. After…

    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…

The graduates of the former “Rostblock” took this as an opportunity to revive the old times. From large parts of Germany they already gathered the evening before for a tour of their former hometown. On the anniversary day itself, the former students had the opportunity to visit their former educational facility again together with the then grade leader. Afterwards everyone came together for coffee and cake, before the evening ended with a cozy get-together with a barbecue. The class has once again proven that they can not only celebrate, but…
