David Blunkett, a British Labour Party politician and Member of Parliament for Sheffield Brightside, visited South Africa between the 28th September and 1st October under the auspices of A4e in order to identify with A4e’s potential operations in South Africa. Khulisa was indeed privileged to be part of the agenda. Specifically:-
o GIBS, A4e and Khulisa hosted an inaugural dinner for A4e on the evening of the 30th September. This was attended by approximately 80 extremely high profile politicians and business leaders. On this occasion David Blunkett spoke of his experiences as an MP and openly validated Khulisa’s efforts in South Africa. Lots of leads for us to follow on!
o David Blunkett visited a school holiday programme which Khulisa is running in partnership with the Alexandra Baseball Association focusing specifically on indigenous games and trained by an MIB from Fochville.
(Needless to say we have already submitted a funding application to Mr Blunkett to support our pilot ‘Silence the Violence’ programme in Sheffield, his area of residence and jurisdiction.)
