We are also involved with the Touching Africa Development Trust which is a non-profit organisation that functions as a vehicle between funders and recipients. Their focus is to make a difference in the community in a sustainable and transparent way.   MacDonald’s has made considerable investment into four projects called STOP (a National TADT Project against human trafficking), Seboni (an Eco-garden and job creation project in Potchefstroom), B.E.E.P (a Black enterprise development program in Potchefstroom) and Thuso (a hunger relief program in Parys). The beneficiaries of the projects are 100% black and historically disadvantaged individuals.

Vukapanda has also made a considerable investment in Touching Africa Development Trust into two AIDS relief projects called Thabang in Parys and Sizanani in KwaZulu-Natal. They have also invested in the Seboni (the Eco-garden and job creation project in Potchefstroom) and Maroelaneng, a school upliftment project in Polokwane.

Vukapanda has furthermore invested in Kgoma Africa, which is a 100% black owned company. This investment was made towards the advancement of Kgoma Africa’s 100% black owned EME.  The funds will assist in their business development in B.E.E.P (black enterprise empowering program). B.E.E.P consults and trains new black entrepreneurs on how to start a small business.
