Overview

INSPIRING TOGETHER

Looking through all the incredible stories in this book reminds us of what’s possible when we come together with purpose. Driven by our theme for this year, Inspiring Together, the Purple Team directed their energy into projects that built momentum for what lies ahead. From building brighter futures to responding to urgent needs, the real story was in the lives we touched and the hope we sparked.

My Education Education gives us the tools to build a stronger, more successful future. This year, we made incredible progress in expanding access to quality learning through our annual Back-to-School campaign. With the support of like-minded partners, we pledged R8.3 million to assist 333 schools and 64 716 learners—helping ensure that thousands of students had the essentials they needed to begin the academic year with confidence.

We’re excited about the expansion of our Future is Bright bursary programme in the higher education sector, providing financial assistance to 491 students

and helping bridge educational divides for those striving to change their lives for the better.

The Hollywood Foundation has made a profound impact on early child development through the creation of 52 Magic Spaces benefitting 4 328 children . These spaces provide inspiring environments that foster creativity, learning and crucial emotional growth for the young.

My Community

A highlight of the year has been our initiative aimed at creating sustainable livelihoods for communities through agriculture in Mpumalanga. This project is designed to provide community members with the resources, skills and support needed to succeed as smallscale farmers in the agricultural sector. Through community support projects, water and sanitation programmes, health care projects, and our own Purple Hearts initiatives, we extended our support to the most vulnerable.

These measures collectively empowered 295 organisations and 173 042 beneficiaries in our community.

My Business

Under the My Business pillar, our Foundation supported 259 SMMEs with skills development workshops and resources. This provided entrepreneurs with opportunities to scale their businesses, create jobs and make a lasting contribution to the economy. Our flagship initiative, Bambelela Business Awards, continues to grow in stature and make a significant difference to SMMEs in South Africa.

Across 5 provinces in South Africa, we have hosted these awards, and we invested R4.5 million in promising young businesses — helping to fuel entrepreneurship and strengthen the foundations for longterm economic growth.

My Sports

Sport remains a powerful tool for change. We are excited to have doubled our efforts to nurture talent and promote inclusivity—investing in grassroots programmes, upgraded facilities and sponsoring rising stars across key sporting codes. Our support extended beyond the game, helping young athletes grow both on and off the field.

We continue to support the South African Jockey Academy (SAJA). This partnership has been in existence for five years, supporting 55 apprentices with bursaries, resulting in 5 qualifying as work riders, 1 as a stable manager and 8 as Professional Jockeys.

Our Foundation has supported 276 sports development initiatives , changing the lives of 33 222 sportsmen and women

Looking Ahead

As we confidently step onto the road ahead, we remain committed to pushing boundaries, fostering innovation, and expanding our impact. Guided by Inspiring Together, we continue to drive meaningful change and create opportunities for all in the communities we serve.

Thank you to our Team, partners, and communities for being part of this journey. Your support and belief in our mission fuel our passion to keep doing more.

My Business

Overview

The Hollywood Foundation, through its My Business pillar, is dedicated to supporting thriving Small, Medium, and Micro Enterprises (SMMEs) across South Africa.

We recognise the importance of these SMME’s as we believe they have the potential to transform South Africa’s economic landscape. This is achieved by creating essential job opportunities within their communities which enhances the quality of life and contributes positively to the South African economy.

Our My Business pillar is built upon a foundation of community, collaboration, and growth. We understand that for these businesses to thrive, they need more than just financial support – they require mentorship, skills acquisition opportunities, and a nurturing environment that allows them to flourish.

Through our diverse array of programmes, the Foundation aims to inspire entrepreneurs to dream big and remain resilient, with a focus on long-term success and sustainability.

By consistently working to create an environment where SMMEs can thrive, the Hollywood Foundation’s My Business pillar’s mission is to ensure lasting, positive change in the community.

Together, we are building a future where small businesses are not just surviving but thriving and making a profound impact in the world around them through our programmes.

Hard work and dedication bring dreams to life.

Overview

The Hollywood Foundation’s My Education pillar is dedicated to nurturing, supporting, and empowering individuals through education from their foundation phase to their higher learning through to their early career. Rooted in the belief that every child deserves the chance to reach their full potential, our work goes beyond the classroom. It focuses on providing the necessary support, encouragement, and opportunities to help individuals build brighter futures for themselves, their families, and their communities.

We recognise that a quality education is key to shaping a child’s future. That’s why we invest in Early Childhood Development (ECD) and strive to equip young learners with the essential building blocks for success. These efforts continue as they grow through our provision of learning materials, school supplies, infrastructure improvements, and uniforms, creating a safe and nurturing environment where children can thrive academically.

My Education

In a world where financial constraints often stand in the way of young people studying further, our bursary programme stands in the gap and allows hard-working students the opportunity to achieve their academic aspirations. To us, it’s about carving out the right path to success for deserving youths. By investing holistically in early education, bursaries, mentorship, and career development, we empower young people to unlock their full potential.

As we continue to nurture the next generation of thought leaders, our goal remains that of creating meaningful opportunities that drive longterm change. We are not just funding education –we are building futures, strengthening communities, and shaping a brighter tomorrow for South Africa,

We recognise that transitioning from education to the workforce can be challenging, which is why we provide workplace readiness support, graduate programmes, and career development initiatives. Through partnerships with industry leaders and innovative training opportunities, we equip young people with the confidence, skills, and real-world experience they need to excel in their future careers.

At the Hollywood Foundation, we’re dedicated to helping young people grow, achieve, and succeed.

Our primary goal is to open up pathways to employment by offering bursary recipients access to our graduate programme and creating meaningful opportunities for them within our workforce.

By nurturing potential from childhood through to the beginning stages of careers, we play a crucial role in moulding the next generation of skilled professionals. We are making a lasting impact on communities across South Africa by ensuring that every student has the chance to build a future as bright as their dreams.

MAGIC SPACES EARLY CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME

Our ECD Programme focuses on creating safe and stimulating environments where young children can thrive. It emphasises the importance of early learning in developing cognitive, social, and motor skills.

Through Magic Spaces, we provide ECD centres with educational toys, learning materials, and jungle gyms to promote motor skill development through play.

Our support also includes the upgrading of facilities such as as classrooms, kitchens, playgrounds, and bathrooms to ensure safety. Additionally, the programme supports ECD teachers with

training in modern teaching techniques so they can provide high-quality education that will help children build a strong foundation for future success.

INITIATIVES

One of the highlights of the year for the Foundation was offering support to the Refilwe Community Care Centre in Limpopo through our Mokopane Branch. The centre was founded upon the vision of ensuring children have access to comprehensive support on their educational journey. With 28 beneficiaries already under its care, the centre is working to expand its reach to allow even more children to receive the educational assistance they deserve.

Commenting on their collaboration with the Foundation, the centre’s manager Christena Mohela couldn’t conceal her gratitude:

Our children will now have enough educational toys, chairs, and tables to use.

Staying in Limpopo, the Foundation Team visited Nhluvukiso Early Learning Centre in another heart-warming outing.

Nhluvukiso is built on an ethos of caring for children who are homeless. As they deal with vulnerable youths who sometimes find themselves in dangerous situations, they approached the Foundation to provide the necessary equipment to assist with the development of the youths.

Another highlight for the Foundation was our contribution towards the refurbishment of the classrooms at the Verulam ECD Centre. The centre had been unable to update their ageing infrastructure for some time and needed help to make the shelter safer and better suited to housing children.

Established in 2004 as a daycare for children between the ages of two to five years old, the centre is located in an area with high poverty and crime rates. They provide healthy meals and a safe environment that promotes holistic development for children.

We ensure that learners have the right resources in the right environments so they can excel academically and build a strong foundation for their continued growth.

Our School Support Programme is designed to offer comprehensive assistance to schools by supplying them with essential learning materials as well as desks and other safe, reliable furniture. By alleviating some of the financial constraints faced by many, we play our part in bringing communities together and inspiring hope in the future.

INITIATIVES

Louisville Combined School in Lows Creek, Mpumalanga, was established in 2002. As one of the first schools opened in the area, it was fitting for the Hollywood Foundation to supply them with desks following their request for help in upgrading their equipment for more than

Because our mission is to build deep, lasting and sustained connections within the communities we serve, the Foundation returned to Portia Shabangu Secondary School in Mpumalanga to deliver new desks. In the past we have assisted the school with various infrastructure upgrades.

School principal Mr BC Ngwenya expressed his profound gratitude:

Your kindness has provided our students with a conducive learning environment that will enhance their educational experience and foster academic excellence.

For the 4th year, the Back-to-School campaign was a resounding success where an investment of R8.3 million benefitted 64 schools, bringing the total over the last four years to 64 716 beneficiaries in 333 schools.

Supplying schools with new uniforms, shoes, stationery, and other scholastic essentials, the initiative is now in its fourth year and continues to help learners attend school with dignity and pride.

By supporting parents at the start of the new school year and empowering learners from diverse communities across South Africa, we aim to create inclusive, supportive, and empowering learning environments.

This year’s campaign held a special importance as it featured expanded partnerships with Hollywoodbets Brand Ambassadors and influential personalities such as Shudufhadzo Musida and Bonginkosi “Zola 7” Dlamini.

We also strengthened our collaborations with various non-profit organisations, sports clubs, and several mainstream and community radio stations. These relationships helped the Back-to-School campaign reach even more learners in need.

BACK-TO-SCHOOL PARTNERS

SHUDUFHADZO MUSIDA FOUNDATION

The Foundation was honoured to partner with the Shudufhadzo Musida Foundation, established by the 2020 Miss South Africa and the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) Global Champion for Women and Girls, Shudufhadzo Musida.

We were able to deliver essential Backto-School supplies to 340 students from Ha-Vhangani in Makhado, Limpopo, an area close to the global personality’s heart.

The initiative supports children whose families mostly depend on government social grants, with the handover itself an educational and inspirational event.

Those chosen to speak on the day delivered moving speeches on the urgent need to develop innovative solutions to the many key social issues affecting the community.

SANTACO

For years, the Hollywood Foundation and the South African National Taxi Council (SANTACO) have partnered in the Backto-School campaign. It’s one of the Foundation’s most valued relationships, and this year we brought smiles to 64 learners from eight primary schools across Durban, KwaZulu-Natal, in collaboration with the Ntenga Foundation and SANTACO Cares.

Mr. Siyanda Ntenga, Chairman of the Ntenga Foundation, noted:

It’s truly an honour to be part of this [Back-to-School] initiative. We believe that education is the foundation of a brighter tomorrow, and by giving back to these children today, we’re helping build a better future for our communities.

On behalf of SANTACO, Mr. Yusuf Khaliva, Chairman of Durban Central, expressed his pride in being part of the event:

We’re proud to support our future leaders and contribute to ensuring these learners start their school year with everything they need to succeed.

MAKAZOLE MAPIMPI

For this year’s Back-to-School campaign, Hollywoodbets Brand Ambassador Makazole Mapimpi chose to give back to two schools in his hometown, Nxaruni and Mdantsane.

For him, giving back to the community he came from always brings joy to his heart. During both Initiatives, he shared wise words and inspired the learners to continue staying in school.

In proud partnership with Heart FM, the Foundation brought smiles, joy, and a sense of hope to the students of Matroosbergweg Primary School in the Western Cape.

The excitement was palpable as the Team arrived at the school on the day. Beloved Heart FM presenter Jeremy Harris joined the group for the official handover and the moment was made even more special by the cheers and laughter of the eager learners.

This special day marked a beautiful chapter in our Back-to-School Campaign and our unwavering commitment to giving back shone brightly.

Not even the strong Cape Town winds could subdue the joy that filled the air as the kids were gifted with muchneeded uniforms and shoes: essential accessories empowering them to walk boldly into the new school year.

MROZA & SGQEMEZA

Our Back-to-School partnership with UKhozi FM legends Nonhlanhla “Mroza” Buthelezi of the Thumumlilo Foundation and Pastor Sipho “DJ Sgqemeza” Mbatha grew as we reached even more learners this year.

Mroza took the campaign to three schools in her hometown of Dokodweni, while DJ Sgqemeza brought hope to two schools in Pongola.

BET SOFTWARE

Hollywood Group subsidiary BET Software has also strengthened its contributions to several initiatives under the Foundation’s My Education Pillar this year. Focused on the Information and Communications Technology (ICT) sector, the company’s interventions have been centred around empowering individuals and uplifting communities by increasing their access to technology, education, and skills development.

The programme has delivered essential technology infrastructure, training, and ongoing support to 21 high schools and community centres. This has benefitted over 2 000 individuals, equipping them with the digital tools and skills necessary for academic and professional success.

Through its My Sports Pillar, the Hollywood Foundation remains committed to nurturing the growth and development of grassroots sports across the country and all sporting codes. These include cricket, rugby, netball, soccer, athletics, and horse racing.

Through a variety of impactful programmes, we empower individuals and uplift communities by harnessing the transformative power of sport. Our efforts are rooted in inclusivity: supporting talent and investing in infrastructure regardless of gender, age, ability, ethnicity, or socioeconomic status.

My Sports

At the heart of the Hollywood Foundation’s support for grassroots sports lies a deep belief in sport as a catalyst for change.

We see it as a powerful bridge to opportunity—where passion meets purpose, and where every individual, regardless of their background, has access to the resources, mentorship, and platform required to realise their full potential.

By investing in grassroots sports, we’re not just developing athletes—we’re

building confident leaders, strengthening communities, and inspiring future generations. Through dynamic programmes, training clinics, mentorship initiatives, and community tournaments, we empower individuals and uplift communities.

We use sport not only as a tool for physical development, but also as a powerful driver of social change. Our approach is inclusive and holistic, ensuring that support reaches all, regardless of gender, age, ability, ethnicity, or socio-economic status.

At the Hollywood Foundation, we believe that sport is more than just a game - it is a platform for empowerment, unity, and transformation. Grassroots sports serve as the entry point for many aspiring athletes, especially in under-resourced communities where opportunities are limited.

By investing in these early stages, we aim to level the playing field and ensure that no potential goes unnoticed or unsupported.

Our commitment is long-term. We walk alongside athletes from their humble beginnings to the pinnacle of their sporting journeys. Whether it’s providing access to equipment, funding development facilities, supporting local clubs, or sponsoring youth tournaments, we’re driven by the belief that every champion starts somewhere.

Supporting grassroots sports allows us to unearth and nurture raw talent that may otherwise be overlooked; promote healthy lifestyles and positive youth development; instill life skills such as discipline, teamwork, leadership, and resilience, and create safe and constructive spaces where communities can come together.

And that “somewhere” should be full of hope, support, and possibility.

Through the advancement of grassroots sports, the Hollywood Foundation reaffirms its purpose: to leave a lasting legacy of empowerment, equity, and excellence in every community we touch.

CRICKET DEVELOPMENT

Cricket has long united people from diverse backgrounds, offering young players the chance to develop skills, discipline, and a sense of belonging.

We’re committed to making cricket accessible, especially in communities with limited opportunities.

By investing in grassroots development, we create pathways for aspiring players to grow on and off the field.

At the Hollywood Foundation, we support clubs and schools with coaching, equipment, and training facilities.

Our programmes build technical skills while fostering teamwork, perseverance, and leadership values that extend beyond the game.

By bridging the gap between development and elite-level cricket, we help more players pursue their dreams.

The impact of our initiatives goes further than sport.

By nurturing talent and promoting inclusion, we aim to create lasting change and ensure that young cricketers from all backgrounds can succeed and inspire the next generation.

UMLAZI CRICKET NETS PROJECT

One of our key initiatives includes the uMlazi Cricket Hub Cricket Nets Project, where we built five cricket nets across five primary schools in uMlazi township, KwaZulu-Natal.

This initiative has significantly improved training conditions, allowing young cricketers to develop their skills in a competitive environment.

By providing high-quality facilities, we help level the playing field between development players and those from urban schools, enabling them to compete with confidence at district and provincial trials. In addition to infrastructure support, we have equipped 24 boys and girls in the U11 and U13 national weeks with full Kookaburra kits, ensuring they enter competitions well-prepared and confident.

Their achievements speak for themselves, with the U11 boys’ team finishing first and the U13 girls’ team securing third place during their respective tournaments.

This project has reignited hope among local coaches, who now have the resources to provide proper training. Players can refine their skills in matchlike conditions, and the longevity of these facilities ensures that future generations will continue to benefit.

As interest in the sport grows, schools have seen an increase in student participation, highlighting the lasting influence of accessible cricket development programs.

UMLAZI CRICKET CLUB

The Hollywood Foundation continues its impactful journey of empowering communities, this time turning its focus to Umlazi, where it provides cricket equipment to support and nurture young talent.

The handover of the equipment took place at an exciting event at the Umlazi Cricket Club that was hosted by Umlazi Comtech High School.

This initiative underscores the Foundation’s dedication to grassroots sports development, ensuring that aspiring cricketers have the resources they need to compete on an equal footing.

Four development clubs will benefit from the initiative, receiving cricket kits, warm-up gear, and essential training and playing equipment.

U11 & U13 KZN PROVINCIAL TEAMS

Having the appropriate gear is often essential for full participation in sporting competitions. Sports kits not only offer practical benefits such as comfort and safety but also foster a sense of belonging and team spirit.

Ensuring that every child has access to the necessary equipment is crucial for promoting equal opportunities and encouraging participation in school or community sports events.

Foundation provided full Kookaburra kits to 24 boys and girls competing in the U11 and U13 national weeks, helping them enter the competitions well-prepared and confident. Their results speak volumes: the U11 boys’ team finished first, while the U13 girls’ team secured third place in their respective tournaments.

MOHODI CRICKET CLUB

Established in 1997, Mohodi Cricket Club was founded with the goal of keeping young boys off the streets of GaManthata village.

We invest in talent development, promote inclusivity, and create supportive environments for youth on and off the field.

Our initiatives focus on nurturing athletic and personal growth by instilling the values of leadership, respect, and perseverance. By providing clubs with coaching, training, and equipment, we reduce financial strain and support longterm sustainability.

Through this collaboration, we’ve provided young talents with a platform to showcase their skills, opened pathways to professional opportunities and uplifted local football structures.

It’s more than just a tournamentit’s a movement that inspires hope; fuels ambition and strengthens the foundation of the beautiful game across all levels.”

TSALANANG COMMUNITY GAMES

This is another highly anticipated soccer tournament, known for its ability to attract a substantial gathering of football enthusiasts during the 2024 Easter season. In support of this event, the Hollywood Foundation still continues to play a pivotal role.

Solomon “Solly” Leshabane, the visionary behind Tsalanang and the event’s organiser, said the core objective was giving back to the community while nurturing a sense of togetherness among football enthusiasts.

HOLLYWOOD ATHLETICS CLUB

The Hollywood Athletics Club is a vibrant community of passionate runners united by a love for road running. Founded by Hollywoodbets Team Members, the club has grown from 30 members in KwaZulu-Natal to over 3 200 nationwide. More than just a running club, they’re a supportive

family where runners of all levels feel welcome and motivated. They focus on joy, camaraderie, and personal growth through group runs, training sessions, and shared goals. Whether you’re chasing a marathon finish or just getting started, they’re there to run, grow, and celebrate together.

Motivated by a strong desire to uplift and empower athletes, the Hollywood Athletics Club (HAC), with the generous support of the Hollywood Foundation, launched a shoe handover drive.

The handovers were for the Umgeni Howick Academy; Orcas Academy; Thembisa Running Club and for those who are part of HAC. These were a great success, with enthusiastic responses from the recipients, many of whom are part of development academies.

The athletes expressed deep gratitude, noting that the shoes would boost their confidence and enhance their ability to train effectively and participate in future races.

Addressing the challenge of inadequate gear, this initiative is a step towards creating equal opportunities in the world of athletics.

The club donated a total of 134 pairs of running shoes to support local athletes in need.

Of these, 107 pairs were handed over to various running clubs within the KwaZuluNatal region, while an additional 27 pairs were donated to the Thembisa Running Club in Gauteng.

This impactful initiative was sparked after the Hollywood Athletics Club Team noticed that many athletes, particularly during events such as the Hollywoodbets Durban 10km race and many other races within Durban, were

competing in worn-out shoes or, in some cases, with no shoes at all. This lack of proper footwear not only hindered their performance but also posed risks to their health and safety.

HORSE RACING

The Hollywood Group continues to make a significant impact on the horse racing industry through its strategic investments and community-driven initiatives.

By supporting various racing events, sponsoring jockeys and trainers, and funding infrastructure improvements, the Foundation plays a pivotal role in enhancing the overall quality and appeal of the sport.

Additionally, it contributes to the welfare of stable workers and grooms, healthcare support, and improved living conditions.

Through these efforts, the Hollywood Foundation not only strengthens the horse racing ecosystem but also fosters sustainability and inclusivity within the industry.

HOLLYWOODBETS WORK RIDERS IN PARTNERSHIP WITH CAPE RACING AND GROOMS SCHOOL

Former jockey Craig du Plooy has played a key role in training Grooms and Work Riders who are essential to the daily operation of the racing industry.

The Hollywoodbets Grooms School aims to qualify Grooms as Work Riders, helping to address the shortage of professional jockeys. The course equips students with the technical and practical skills needed to ride and assess horses, providing valuable feedback to trainers.

Thirteen students were enrolled in the recent course, with 11 successfully graduating. The Hollywood Foundation has been the primary investor, funding top-class facilities to support this specialist training.

In addition, Hollywoodbets sponsored a 5-race Cape Racing Work Riders Series, where the top five finishers earned their share of R25 000 in prize money.

The Hollywood Foundation has been the primary source of the investment in providing top quality facilities to improve the specialist skills. Hollywoodbets Brand & Communications Manager Devin Heffer responded by saying that it was an honour and privilege for them to have played a role in the resurgence and ongoing success of the Cape Racing Grooms School.

UMTELEBHELO HERITAGE CUP

The Umtelebhelo Heritage Cup is a premier traditional horse racing event that celebrates South Africa’s rich cultural heritage while fostering unity among communities. Established by the Willowfountain Rural Horse-Riding Club (WRHRC), the event attracts thousands of spectators, punters, and

stakeholders, contributing significantly to the local economy. Hollywoodbets and the Hollywood Foundation played a key role in supporting the event through sponsorships, logistical assistance, and community engagement, reinforcing their commitment to grassroots sports and cultural preservation.

“The sponsorship by Hollywoodbets and the Hollywood Foundation helped cover key event expenses, including stakes payouts to the top five finishers in each race, marshals, participant accommodation, catering, and other logistical needs.

These funds directly supported rural horse owners and participants from previously disadvantaged communities,” said Mbuyiselwa Mkhize of Willowfountain Rural Horse Riding Club.

GROOMS INITIATIVE IN PARTNERSHIP WITH GOLD CIRCLE AND CAPE RACING

The Hollywoodbets Grooms Initiative entered its sixth year in 2025, continuing to reward the grooms of winning horses in both KwaZulu-Natal and the Western Cape. In partnership with Gold Circle and Cape Racing, the initiative pays R2 000 per win during Champions Season and R1 000 during the off-season.

Since its launch in October 2019, the initiative has injected millions into the hands of the sport’s unsung heroes — the grooms and stable staff working tirelessly behind the scenes. KZN Racing recently marked a major milestone, with R5 million awarded to grooms to date, while Cape Racing celebrated its 1 000th winning groom.

Hollywoodbets Brand and Communications Manager Devin Heffer said the initiative’s purpose has always been to acknowledge and reward grooms. “They play a vital role in the racing chain, and it’s been incredible to witness the positive impact this initiative has had on the industry. We look forward to reaching even greater milestones as we continue our efforts to uplift every sector of the sport,” he added

LIFE AFTER RACING

Now in its fourth year, the Hollywoodbets Life After Racing programme continues to thrive under the expert care of Nicole Wille at the Ashburton Racing Centre. Initially launched to rehome Hollywood Racing’s retired racehorses into second careers — including showjumping, dressage, and eventing — the initiative has since evolved into a full-scale rehabilitation and rehoming facility.

With a dedicated team of 11 staff, the programme not only finds “forever homes” for horses post-racing (53 to date), but also provides essential treatment and recovery opportunities for those still in training.

Remarkably, 28 horses have returned from rehab at Ashburton to win races again.

“This is about giving every horse the best possible life after racing, ” says Wille.

“They deserve it.”

Hollywoodbets’ commitment aligns with the National Horseracing Authority’s

welfare legislation and stands as a shining example of industry responsibility — ensuring that the heroes of the track are respected, rehabilitated, and rewarded for their service beyond the finish line.

PINKDRIVE RACE DAY

The PinkDrive Race Day is an annual event dedicated to supporting breast cancer awareness and early detection. Hosted in partnership with Hollywoodbets, the day raises funds for PinkDrive, a non-profit organisation that provides free cancer screenings and education to underprivileged communities in South Africa.

With limited access to healthcare in many areas, early detection is often missed, resulting in late-stage diagnoses and reduced chances of recovery.

This initiative addresses that gap by funding mobile screening units and medical outreach programmes. Beyond raising funds, PinkDrive Race Day also promotes health advocacy within

the horse racing and broader sports community. The event is a powerful reminder of the impact sport can have in driving meaningful change, especially in the fight against one of the most prevalent cancers affecting South African women.

COASTAL HORSE CARE UNIT –COMMITTED TO EQUINE WELFARE

The Coastal Horse Care Unit (CHCU), located in Cato Ridge, KwaZulu-Natal, is a non-profit organisation focused on rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming abused or neglected horses and donkeys.

Through rural outreach initiatives, CHCU educates communities—particularly children—on responsible equine care. Their Emahhashini Training Centre also offers farriery and saddlery training, equipping individuals with skills that benefit both animals and livelihoods.

CHCU’s broader mission is to create sustainable change through education

and engagement, with a lasting impact across South Africa. Hollywoodbets and the Hollywood Foundation are proud supporters of CHCU, having invested in several facility upgrades. These include a borehole, paddock maintenance, chicken hock improvements, and renovations to staff accommodation—both existing and additional units to grow the team.

Signage, staff uniforms, and vehicle branding have been provided, along with IT support such as computers and better internet access, helping CHCU continue their essential work effectively and efficiently.

SOUTH AFRICAN

RIDING FOR THE DISABLED ASSOCIATION

SARDA (South African Riding for the Disabled Association), based at the South African Jockey Academy in Summerveld, is the official charity of the Hollywoodbets Durban July.

This non-profit provides free therapeutic horse-riding lessons to mentally and physically challenged children up to the age of 16.

The sessions, led by trained volunteer instructors, take place five mornings

a week and offer remarkable physical and emotional benefits. Riding helps children relax, build muscle, and improve motor skills in a safe and supportive setting.

Hollywoodbets proudly contributed R50 000 in equipment and funding to support SARDA’s mission. We are honoured to be part of this lifechanging initiative and look forward to the continued impact SARDA has on the lives of these incredible children.

SOUTH AFRICAN JOCKEY ACADEMY –INVESTING IN FUTURE CHAMPIONS

The South African Jockey Academy (SAJA) has expressed deep gratitude for the unwavering support received from Hollywoodbets and the Hollywood Foundation over the years. This valued partnership has played a vital role in shaping the future of aspiring jockeys and uplifting the institution as a whole.

A generous bursary contribution of R957,948 in 2024 has significantly supported the apprentices’ educational and training needs, easing financial pressures and enabling them to focus on their careers.

The Academy has also seen major facility upgrades thanks to Hollywoodbets,

including renovations to dormitories, the main entrance, buildings, dining room, multipurpose court, and squash court. These improvements have created a more dynamic and supportive environment for learning and development.

Hollywoodbets’ involvement in the annual SAJA Awards Ceremony brought additional prestige and warmth to the event, making it a truly memorable occasion for apprentices and guests alike.

The Hollywood Foundation looks forward to building on this impactful and valued partnership with the SA Jockey Academy.

Overview

Strong communities thrive on collaboration, empowerment, and access to essential resources.

At the heart of the Hollywood Foundation’s My Community Pillar lies a commitment to achieving these objectives for ordinary South African’s by addressing of myriad issues they face daily.

Our projects focus on poverty alleviation, improved food security, infrastructure development as well as upliftment programmes that provide tangible support to individuals and families.

My Community

We work hand-in-hand with grassroots organisations and community-led initiatives that address critical issues such as homelessness, responsible gambling, elderly care, and disability support.

By partnering with trusted local leaders and groups, we ensure that every intervention is practical, sustainable, and tailored to the unique needs of each community.

From improving access to clean water and healthcare to strengthening vital community services, we strive to be a source of hope and stability where it’s needed most in order to drive meaningful social change.

And by creating long-term, positive impact, we’re empowering communities to build better futures.

WATER & SANITATION:

Clean water and functional sanitation are not just basic needs—they are the foundation of restoring human dignity and ensuring people’s overall health. And yet, for many communities across the country, access to these essential services remains a daily struggle.

The Hollywood Foundation is committed to changing this reality by providing access to water, , improved sanitation facilities, and hygiene education through our Water and Sanitation Programme

We work together with schools, communities and organisations to install boreholes, and upgraded ablution facilities, creating safer and healthier environments for all.

By implementing sustainable, long-term solutions, we not only reduce the risk of waterborne diseases but also restore dignity and enhance the quality of life for vulnerable communities. Incorporating work around infrastructure

development, education as well as active community engagement, our programme is dedicated to transforming lives across South Africa by addressing these urgent challenges.

Every project we undertake brings us closer towards expanding access to these essential services—building healthier, stronger, and more resilient communities, one step at a time.

ABLUTIONS

The Hollywood Foundation is dedicated to improving education and sanitation in South Africa. Recently, the Foundation unveiled new ablution blocks at Lumikisa Primary School in Bushbuck Ridge, Mpumalanga, to support a better learning environment.

Additionally, in collaboration with Gagasi FM, the Foundation has worked on the ‘Geleza Ne Gagasi’ project in KwaZuluNatal, providing significant upgrades

to schools like Mcushwa High School in Margate. These upgrades included replacing pit toilets with flushable facilities, installing boreholes for water access, and adding Jojo tanks for a reliable water supply.

These initiatives aim to improve sanitation and overall school infrastructure, promoting healthier, safer, and more effective learning spaces for students and staff.

MCUSHWA HIGH SCHOOL

The Hollywood Foundation proudly celebrated the successful refurbishment of the ablution facilities at Mcushwa High School in Margate - a significant milestone achieved in collaboration with Gagasi FM through the Geleza Ne Gagasi Adopt A School Corporate Social Investment (CSI) campaign.

Mcushwa High School had been grappling with major infrastructure challenges, including inadequate sanitation facilities and a lack of running water. This posed serious obstacles to effective teaching and learning. Remarkably, the school achieved an impressive 92.3% matric pass rate in 2023 despite these difficulties.

The school’s outdated pit toilets were replaced with modern, flushable facilities - dramatically improving hygiene standards and creating a safer, more dignified space for learners and educators alike.

In addition, the Foundation constructed a new borehole to provide a consistent supply of clean water for the school. All the new toilets are connected to JoJo tanks, ensuring water availability even during shortages.

Partnering with Gagasi FM on the Geleza Ne Gagasi campaign allowed us to make a tangible difference in the lives of learners at Mcushwa High School. Our mission is to foster healthier learning conditions that empower students to reach their full potential.

Mpho Dintwa, CSI Manager at the Hollywood Foundation, emphasised the impact of the initiative

LUMIKISA PRIMARY SCHOOL

The Hollywood Foundation improved the learning environment at Lumikisa Primary School in Bushbuck Ridge, Mpumalanga, by building four new ablution blocks. Before this upgrade, the school’s 1 178 students used outdated and unhygienic facilities.

The new, functional sanitation blocks promote health and dignity for both students and educators. This initiative was welcomed by the Mpumalanga

Department of Education and the school’s governing body. The school principal expressed gratitude for the support, noting that such improvements were made possible through corporate donations.

This project reflects the Foundation’s commitment to enhancing education and sanitation in underserved communities.

DUMISANI SECONDARY SCHOOL

The Hollywood Foundation has made significant contributions to improving ablution facilities, particularly bathrooms, in South African communities. These initiatives are part of the Foundation’s broader commitment to enhancing

education, health, and dignity in under privileged areas. At Dumisani Secondary School the Foundation installed two prefab toilets for boys and girls to the value of R432 216.

DENTAL TRUCK

A pioneering partnership with the Mpumalanga Department of Health saw the unveiling of a newly refurbished dental truck at Tintswalo District Hospital - a milestone in expanding access to essential dental care for remote communities in the province.

The official handover ceremony was led by Hollywood Foundation CSI Manager Mr. Mpho Dintwa and MEC for Health Ms. Sasekani Manzini alongside Tintswalo Provincial Hospital management.

The truck’s state-of-the-art facilities will support oral health services across

15 clinics and schools as part of the hospital’s outreach programmes—which were previously suspended due to the poor condition of the original mobile unit.

We are delighted to see the culmination of our efforts in enhancing healthcare accessibility for underserved regions. This project will ensure that community members receive a service that is a basic human right, said Mr. Dintwa.

Ms. Manzini expressed her appreciation, stating,Today we are grateful to receive a donation from the Hollywood Foundation of a renovated mobile dental clinic and equiment, which will enable us to deliver services and conduct outreach programmes that were previously limited due to budget constraints.

KATHLYN VOYSEY CLINIC

Sprinkling the Purple magic a bit closer to home, the Foundation contributed R150 000 to the Kathleen Voysey Clinic in the outer CBD suburb of Musgrave, Durban.

The clinic has been serving the community since 1998 and provides free treatment to unemployed, indigent, and

homeless adults, as well as elderly individuals for a range of ailments.

The funds from the Foundation were aimed at enabling the facility to be able to cover essential day-to-day resources, including medicine replenishment and hygiene products over a 12-month period.

DABANE FOUNDATION

The Foundation was proud to journey to the Eastern Cape to lend a hand to the Dabane Foundation’s invaluable work.

The organisation was founded by Lubabalo Jack, an amputee who defied the odds and now leads an inspiring life and strives to raise awareness about the challenges faced by people living with disabilities in South Africa.

We generously assisted the Foundation with R30 000, which was used to purchase essential equipment including spinealigning comfort cushions, walking sticks, and wheelchair parts. Additionally, the Foundation is working to create a grant that will cover the costs of prosthetics, enabling individuals to live normal, fulfilling lives with hope for a brighter future.

COMMUNITY SUPPORT

The Hollywood Foundation plays a significant role in supporting communities across South Africa by focusing on key areas such as education, entrepreneurship, and social development. The Foundation’s commitment to community welfare is evident through a range of initiatives that aim to empower individuals, uplift communities, and contribute to sustainable development.

TYPES OF ORGANISATIONS

EXPRO TOYS FOR JOY

We reserve a special place in our hearts for children, and many of our programmes prioritise their well-being and education.

That’s why our dedicated team works tirelessly to implement various initiatives aimed at improving the lives of countless children. Each year the Foundation has the privilege of contributing wonderful toys to children over Christmas, making their festive season a memorable and joyful experience.

This heartwarming initiative is carried out in collaboration with the Rotary Club, a like-minded organisation.

The Hollywood Group has nurtured a strong relationship with the Expro team over the years and has seen it grow exponentially. This has made the Foundation immensely proud to continue its support for Expro’s Toys for Joy lunches in Gauteng, KwaZulu- Natal as well as the Western Cape as a way to impact the lives of more and more children.

SEROBI MAJA YOUTH DEVELOPMENT CENTRE

Community

A trip furthest up North to Limpopo saw the Foundation visit the Serobi Maja Youth Development Centre to assist them with 20 laptops worth R119 980 as well as 12 sewing machines worth R85 000. The intervention was aimed at improving the project’s operational efficiency as well as equipping the youth with sewing and fashion design skills.

The centre was established by Mrs Raesetja Maja in 2018 after she realised that the listless and uninspired youth in her community needed urgent help. They provide unemployed young people with entrepreneurial skills, educational programmes, mental health support, tertiary registration assistance, employment application assistance, and Arts and cultural activities.

GEORGE BUILDING COLLAPSE WITH

GIFT OF THE GIVERS

The Hollywood Foundation’s pledge to supporting communities saw our team travel to George in the Western Cape to aid in relief efforts following the tragic collapse of a multi-story building under construction. We contributed a grant of R30 000, along with food items valued at R10 000 for the dedicated Search & Rescue Teams working tirelessly on the scene.

The handover was part of a collaboration with Gift of the Givers to provide muchneeded assistance amid the disaster. Gift of the Givers offered vital support to the families of the victims who were being housed in a local hall.

CHANGE IN ACTION NPO FAIR

Following the success of the inaugural Change in Action Non-Profit Organisations (NPO) Fair in 2023, the Foundation once again partnered with We are Durban and Gateway Theatre of Shopping to help NPOs strengthen their capacity and increase their visibility. The 2024 initiative culminated in a one-day NPO Fair at Gateway Theatre of Shopping where 20 NPOs from the Greater Durban area showcased their work.

The final participants were chosen from over 180 applications. Visitors in and around Gateway were encouraged to engage with the NPOs, learn about their missions, and discover ways to support them—or find help for those in need. In preparation for the fair, the Foundation provided each NPO with a brand marketing pack including a wall banner, table, tablecloth, two slimline banners, 10 branded shirts, and business cards. Four capacity-building workshops were also held to train the organisations and address some of the key challenges they face.

“We know that NPOs often prioritise serving their communities over marketing themselves, ” said Mpho Dintwa, CSI Manager at the Hollywood Foundation.

The public needs to know about the good work these organisations are doing, and presenting themselves professionally will help them gain support from the public and potential funders, Dintwa added.

Linda Morrison, Managing Director of We are Durban, highlighted that over 3 500 registered NPOs are working to support communities across eThekwini.

“A lack of awareness is preventing people from accessing the services these organisations provide—and stopping potential volunteers from connecting with causes they care about,” She said.

Food security is essential for building healthy, thriving communities, yet many South African families have little access to nutritious meals. The Foundation’s agricultural support initiatives empower communities to grow their own food, offering sustainable solutions to hunger and poverty.

We resource community gardens, school nutrition programmes, and farmer training initiatives. These missions are aimed at making sure our society has

enough individuals with the skills and resources needed to ensure long-term food security. By investing in small-scale farmers and providing access to tools, seeds, and knowledge, we’re not only helping to feed communities but also spurring on job creation and boosting local economies.

Our goal is to establish resilient food systems and supply chains that allow reliable access to fresh, nutritious food.

This initiative not only provides essential business and development skillsbut is also helping the community build their selfsufficiency while encouraging sustainable economic growth within the region in addition to strengthening food security. By investing in people and their potential, we’re helping to build stronger, more resilient communities for the future.

Through the programme, our Team Members are able to give back to causes they care about, building a lasting impact via their presence, involvement, and connections. When Team Members volunteer—whether it’s through offering their time, skills, or

support—they strengthen team bonds, and live out the Hollywood Group’s values. Purple Hearts empowers us to build relationships, inspire hope, and create an enduring legacy.

By giving from the heart, we don’t just support communities—we stand with them and help shape a better world, together.

towel packets to be donated to the girls at Abbaquar San Royal, ensuring they have the essentials they need to stay confident and comfortable. Together, we’re making a lasting impact, one donation at a time.

The Team was also able to keep up with their own health with 292 Team Members receiving physical breast exams.

292 Team Members also had their baseline medicals checked by Mediskills, while 141 Team Members received postawareness information & support from Reach for Recovery.

The Hollywood Foundation’s annual PinkDrive Race Day at Hollywoodbets Greyville Racecourse is a heartfelt initiative dedicated to raising awareness and funds for breast cancer.

This event, held in partnership with the PinkDrive organisation, transforms the racecourse into a sea of pink, symbolising solidarity with those affected by breast cancer. Attendees are encouraged to wear pink attire, and the day features various activities, including on-track entertainment

and spot prizes for those best embodying the theme. The initiative is attended by Hollywood Group Team Members who honour the memories of their loved ones who succumbed to cancer or celebrate survivors’ victories over the disease.

RESPONSIBLE GAMBLING PROGRAMME

Hollywoodbets continuously reinforces its dedication to raising awareness and promoting education on responsible gambling practices through the Hollywood Foundation.

This commitment is realised via the Responsible Gambling Programme in partnership with the South African Responsible Gambling Foundation (SARGF)

In its second year, the collaboration continued to make significant strides in encouraging responsible gambling and empowering individuals to make informed choices while enjoying their favourite games.

This includes an initial assessment, a referral to the nearest treatment professional, a cognitive assessment

by the treatment professional, and an analysis and application of the treatment required for the callers who seek assistance.

The Foundation contributed to SARGF’s ‘Taking Risks Wisely’ school programme to combat underage gambling. In addition to the schools’ programme the Hollywood Foundation increased its sponsorship of professional counsellors from one to two in 2024. The counsellors are on standby daily to assist people who call in to the SARGF in need of help with their gambling related problems. The counsellors are funded as a way to promote responsible gambling within various communities by offering them free and confidential professional services.

Vuyisile Ngobese, Hollywood Foundation Public Relations Officer, noted that the outreach from SARGF’s National Responsible Gambling Programme (NRGP) is crucial for those who are problem gambling.

Through this partnership we have reached over 70 schools across all nine provinces in South Africa, it has also reached over 2 000 teachers benefiting over 75 000 learners.

The proactive response and commitment from Hollywoodbets and the Hollywood Foundation has provided us [SARGF] an opportunity to scale our reach to minors, not only to provide information through awareness but also provide psychotherapeutic intervention to minors impacted directly or indirectly by problem gambling.” said Sibongile SimelaneQuntana, SARGF Executive Director.
