Sakeliga accepts donation from Who Wants to be a Millionaire

Sakeliga receives with gratitude a donation of R10 000 from Theunis Strydom and Wie Word ’n Miljoenêr (the Afrikaans edition of Who Wants to be a Millionaire).

Strydom, a financial journalist and biographer, nominated Sakeliga as the recipient of his winnings in a special episode of kykNET‘s Wie Word ’n Miljoenêr. In this episode, broadcast on 6 November 2024, participants competed to support a deserving non-profit organisation of their choice.

Strydom said he had nominated Sakeliga for the good work we do in cases of state failure and in particular our interventions to restore order in towns and dysfunctional municipalities.
