The Insimbi Legacy Projects is proud to announce the winners of its annual art and colouring-in competition for 2021 that was held in association with Divine Be Gracious.

In the spirit of World Rhino Awareness Month, Insimbi Legacy Projects launched its colouring-in and art competition on September 22.

The main aim of the competition is to raise rhino awareness and funds for Insimbi.

Laerskool Concordia and Hoërskool Dr EG Jansen took hands with the organisation and encouraged its learners to support the initiative.

The judges of the competition were Leonie Swart Cronje and Susan Marais from Ekurhuleni FM.

Zander Gressé (14) and Nadia Schoeman (16) are the winners from EG Jansen and each received a cash prize of R500, a lucky packet and certificate of achievement.

Furthermore, teacher Elma Pelser is the winner of the weekend getaway for two people at the organisation’s reserve, valued at R5 600. Insimbi offered this prize to the teacher who urged more learners to enter the competition.

The winners received their prizes with great excitement at their respective schools on February 4.

Carmela Lattanzi (founder of the organisation) and Sharon Janse van Rensburg (Insimbi Legacy Projects brand ambassador) described the competition as a success and thanked the schools for their support.

“We’re overwhelmed by the support we received. We raised about R6 000 through this initiative and are extremely happy about the outcome. I can’t believe how talented these children are,” said Lattanzi.

Community members can keep an eye out on the Boksburg Advertiser or Insimbi Legacy Project’s social media pages (Insimbi Legacy Projects) for this year’s competition. Other schools are also invited to become involved.

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.
