Awards & Gala Events
- We have been selected to manage since inception, the Ubuntu Awards and Ubuntu in Action Program of the National Heritage Council. The Ubuntu Award, which is expected to grow in stature to the level of the Nobel Peace Prize and the Ghandi Award, seeks to honour individuals whose character, leadership, philosophy and life's work are an asset and embodiment of the universal values of Ubuntu, our common humanity. Previous recipients of the Ubuntu Award include former South African President Nelson Mandela; former Zambian President Kenneth Kaunda and former Cuban President Fidel Castro and Boutros Boutros-Ghali, the first African UN Secretary General. These events are held at venues of national heritage value, most of which have no services such as the confluence of the Limpopo & Shase River, Mapungubwe National Park (2008); and the birth place of AbaThembu King Sabata Dalindyebo, Bumbane Great Place, Eastern Cape.
