The Addo Football Youth Academy benefited through the CGA's Orange Heart Initiative. Soccer kits, soccer boots, water bottles, soccer balls, goalposts and a storage container were donated to the soccer academy.

AFYA is based at the AV Bukani Primary School in Nomathamasanqa, Addo, and through this soccer academy, seeks to keep the children off the streets by giving them exposure to extra curricular activities.

The CGA, through its Orange Heart initiative, recently collaborated with the Kaross Foundation on the CAMI programme. Thirteen computers were donated to two schools in Letsitele, Vhulakanjhani Primary and Manyunyu Primary.

The donation included mousepads, network cables as well as tables. This donation brings the total computers to thirty-five for each school, enabling them to run their programme more efficiently.

The Orange Heart Team participated in Mandela Day yesterday, by volunteering their 67 minutes at The Baby House Westville, a safehouse which provides shelter to abandoned children.

Under the Orange Heart initiative, the CGA made a cash donation which went towards the revamp of the baby rooms, as well as baby items, such as nappies, baby food, formula, baby cream etc.

Thank you to the CGA for this fantastic initiative in community development.

Last season, there were many stories doing the rounds about large volumes of fruit being discarded and destroyed because of the poor market conditions. Many growers and export agents were desperately looking for an alternative, for somewhere they could send or donate the fruit.

We have the answer! The CGA’s Orange Heart Fruit Drive collects fruit donations from the industry and redirects them to charities, such as foodbanks and soup kitchens, that provide support to poor households, schools, orphanages, and individuals.

Our main partner is FoodForward SA, a foodbank with a nationwide footprint and internal logistics resources that enables them to collect fruit from where it is and deliver it to where it is needed. Fruit can be collected anywhere in the country, directly from farms, packhouses, cold stores, warehouses, marketplaces, or fruit terminals.

We also work with local soup and sandwich kitchens in Durban to distribute fruit that is rejected for export at the Durban harbour.

All you need to do is let Sive at Orange Heart know if you have fruit available, where it is, when it can be collected, and we will take it from there. Contact her at [email protected], and find us on all other social media channels!

Please pass this information on to your export agent as well.
Let’s have a heart, and help each other.

Recently, citrus growers made a generous donation to struggling communities in Mthwalume and Empangeni, through the CGA's Orange Heart Food Drive.

Kuyameka Foundation was the beneficiary organisation through which 75 families, who were severely affected by the recent looting and rioting which took place in KZN, received food parcels to help them through these tough times. The families each have between 8 to 10 members and are challenged on a daily basis with finding food.

Thank you to the citrus growers who took part in this wonderful initiative.
