Community generosity in action!
June 2026
We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Rhone Hill Polo Club for their generous donation of R11,300 to the Bitou 10 Foundation's Mandela Day Project at Formosa Primary School.
This incredible contribution comes from the proceeds of the polo club's tuck shop sales and will go directly towards renovating the school's playground — creating a space where children can learn, play, explore, and simply enjoy being children.
Rhone Hill Polo Club, owned by the Heffron family and managed by Gary Spilsbury, has a long history of supporting community initiatives, and we are deeply grateful for their continued commitment to making a difference in Bitou.
A special thank you to Albie Stefano, who runs the tuck shop, for presenting the donation to our Chairperson, Dianne Kloka-Speight, and Treasurer, Barbara Anne Price-Hughes, on 16 June. What a wonderful example of how small acts, multiplied across a community, can create meaningful change.
Partnerships like these remind us that when a community comes together, amazing things happen. We can't wait to share the transformation of the Formosa Primary playground and the joy it will bring to the learners who use it every day.
