Get it Done this weekend
THE clock is ticking as the countdown starts to
the Get it Done (GID) Open Market which will
take centre stage in Komani tomorrow.
The market, which opens its doors to the
public at 2pm, will be based in the Komani
town hall with Calvin Nelani and Abonga
Madalane of GID your hosts for the day.
On show will be various roleplayers and
stakeholders in the entertainment, business,
lifestyle and education sectors, including
Intercape, Postnet, Walter Sisulu University, Dr
Shasha Foundation, Boston College and
up-and-coming fashion designers. Take your
photo against The Rep picture wall and enjoy
an afternoon of networking and fun.
The market ends at 6pm, but stay on board
speakers. KDF treasurer Luvuyo
Rani said, “The turn-out was great.
We did not expect to raise this
much money with one event. Some
pledged for life and others
committed to assisting a child.
“This shows that we have
touched many hearts to take an
interest and we hope to grow from
here.”
KDF was investing in education
and helping to combat
unemployment by focusing on
ent repreneurship.
“KDF has a model that can be
replicated and used in other
municipalities. Forums like these
have a role to play in uplifting
communities.”
The event was made possible by
various sponsors, including Daisy,
KGA, Silulo Business Solutions and
the Chris Hani Development
