Colouring-in and art project launched
All the proceeds will go towards rhino conservation and rhino fodder.
In the spirit of World Rhino Day, Insimbi Legacy Projects launched its colouring-in and art competition for 2021 at Laerskool Concordia on September 22 in conjunction with Divine Be Gracious.
The main aim of the competition is to raise rhino awareness and funds for Insimbi. All the proceeds will go towards rhino conservation and rhino fodder.
“This is the perfect way for the young conservationist and rhino lover to put their artistic/creative talent to good use by participating in this competition and by doing so also spread awareness of this endangered species.
“The colouring-in and art competition was launched in 2019 and proved to be a success,” said Sharon Janse van Rensburg, local businesswoman and brand ambassador of the Insimbi Legacy Projects.
The categories of the competition are four to six years, seven to nine years and 10 to 13 years. Entry fees are R50 and all entries (and the picture that must be coloured in) must be submitted by the end of October.

Winners will receive a gift box valued at R500 and a certificate.
Laerskool Concordia took hands with the organisation and will encourage its learners to support the initiative.
“Concordia is passionate about giving back to the community, and it will be great if we can spread rhino conservation awareness among our learners. The pictures for all categories that must be coloured in and are available at the school. Our art teacher, Zerista Badenhorst, will manage our school’s entries. We also want to challenge other schools to become involved,” said the school spokesperson, Ronel Steenkamp.
The teacher whose class has the most entries will also win a weekend away to Insimbi’s reservation in Limpopo, valued at R5 600.
Carmela Lattanzi started the Insimbi Legacy Projects to involve the public in the fight against poaching after one of her widely admired rhinos, Insimbi, was killed in 2014.
