Education remains a key expression of Tastic’s true generosity, that allows the development of many young South Africans that will be provided with an opportunity to further their education, improve their communities and pay it forward to those who will come after them through our Tastic Legacy Fund”. Says Thembi Sehloho, Marketing Director of Pasta and Rice.
The Legacy Fund is not the brand’s first stint at supporting education and funding tertiary students. This is our continued effort in showcasing the spirit of true generosity stemming from our initial partnership with Laduma Ngxokolo of Maxhosa Africa were we raised over R700 000.00 funds which benefited 30 deserving tertiary students towards their tertiary fees.
Tertiary education fees have significantly increased over the past couple of years. Coupled with the Covid pandemic which has accelerated the challenges and pressure on many household income thus affecting the young scholas that wish to advance their education at tertiary level due to lack of funds. A challenge that has been closely monitored by Mzansi’s most iconic brand, Tastic.
The partnership between the Tastic rice with The Mukheli Twins and Sthu Manaka through their My Loves Art Movement to make impactful change in our communities through our continued investment in education for sustained solutions that will benefit our country in the long run.
Details of how students can enter to benefit from the fund will be posted on the brand’s official Instagram and Facebook pages.
