looks like they raised a massive R2100.

 

think they might need to rethink the term 'sought after'. I know it makes no sense that a 100 tickets get sold out in a minute in april, yet this one has four offers all in the same ballpark.

Ish, R48k for the ticket and only R2.1k goes to charity? I don't know what's more sad, the fact that it costs R46k to do this event or that so little of it goes to charity....

Personally i think they should have donated the Entry to Qhubeka

 

My understanding is that the entry was donated to and sold by Qhubeka

So Qhubeka takes the R46k for free and give the rest to charity? Shouldn't all proceedings go to a charity as it was donated to Qhubeka? Not cool.

Qhubeka is the charity and will use the money to buy and supply bicycles as they do. What do you think Qhubeka is? A company?

I'm referring to what silver said. What will the R46k be used for?

Will be used to buy bicycles which is what Qhubeka does. Have a look at the site.

 

Aah ok. :thumbup: That's better. Thanks for clearing it up.

I haven't read all the fine print, but I doubt Absa Cape Epic would have given this entry to MTN for free? So MTN still had to pay for the entry - hence only money over and above the base cost goes to charity.

Correct me if I'm incorrect.
