The 6th of November 2009 saw the coming together of a diverse contingent of stakeholders with the intention of focused sustainable development within the Kingdom of the Rharhabe, King Williams Town in the Eastern Cape.

The launch of a 2000 head Senepol cattle project spearheaded by Norange Capital Markets and supported by the OLIVE LEAF Foundation was met with great joy and enthusiasm, with Andre Kruger the CEO being warmly received.

 

The event drew 1000 community members, including His Majesty King Sandile, the Deputy Minister of Tourism Ms Thoko Xasa as well as the Honourable Premier of the Eastern Cape Noxolo Kiviet. Also present were Hendrie Hattingh, CEO of Norange Capital Markets who delivered a message on behalf of King Daban from the Formosa Tribe.

This event paves the way for further involvement by the OLIVE LEAF Foundation within the area, focussing on sustainable development opportunities and lifts our portfolio of projects within the southern African region. The Kingdom of Rharhabe is hemmed in between the Kei River, the Katberg Mountain range as well as the Gamtoos Rivers and the Indian Ocean. This area covers a substantial amount of land and offers the opportunity for a diverse range of social development projects.
