10 Hour #PurpleRhinoParty on #MBDShow
Updated | By Kabelo Mekoa
Arod from the #MBDShow is going to mix songs from the 80's, 90's & now for 10 Hours straight #PurpleRhinoParty to raise funds for our Purple Rhino Fund.
As you know we’ve been doing everything we can to STOP RHINO POACHING. Our #PurpleRhinoParty will start from 16:00 on Friday the 31st of July 2015 for 10 hours until 02:00 the following Saturday at Ridgeback Village Restauarant when Arod will mix songs from the 80’s, 90’s & now non stop as a final drive with the #MBDShow to raise funds for our Purple Rhino Fund.
The focus of the Purple Rhino Fund has been the Kruger area and the surrounding reserves as the poaching pressure is relentless and there is huge public concern about these areas.
Focus area’s identified for the funding:
The 4 reserves surrounding the Kruger National Park Sabi Sand, Klaserie, Balule, Timbivati will receive the following:
- Ranger Training
- Purchasing of kit and equipment
- First aid course and tactical field care course / trauma medicine
- Intelligence course on informant handling, intelligence etc. This would be an important one to look at sponsoring a few people around the country as well. Syndicates work across provincial/national borders and its vital we tie up a network against them.
- Surveillance equipment (please note that as this is urgent, SRP is covering R50 000 today and will claim this back from the Purple Rhino Project fund in the near future – incl proof of invoiced paid)
- Kit for investigators
Kruger National Park:
- Re-evaluation and refresher training by MECHEM of the dogs placed by the PRP in Kruger
- Purchasing Stormy – an explosive dog already working at one of the gates (they need funding for her)
- Purchasing of a bite suit for training
(Manager) from Ridgebacks Centurion has pledged R20 000. He challenges other business owners to come on board and donate R20 000 towards our Purple Rhino Fund.
