Drum Day to raise funds for monkeys

SOME of Durban’s top drummers will unite to help raise funds for a rehabilitation centre for Monkey Helpline this Saturday, January 10 at Musketeers at the German Club in Westville (7 Barham road).

Entrance is free and the evening of drum solos starts at 6pm. All donations will going towards Monkey Helpline to help build a new rehabilitation centre.

Last month, Monkey Helpline was given the opportunity to meet with David Bozas from the Lawrence Anthony Earth Organisation and Thula Thula Game Reserve in Zululand.

They have generously donated land to build three open air enclosures along with the required outbuildings such as a clinic, staff and volunteer accommodation to serve as a rehabilitation centre for Monkey Helpline at Thula Thula Game Reserve in Zululand.

Everyone involved is working tirelessly to raise the necessary funds and with three troops that are ready for release into the wild once they have bonded with the land, it is hoped that the public will totally support the project.

Drum players ranging from older experienced pros, to young up and coming drummers have been selected including Bruce Baker, Shawn Peterson, Shante Bekwa, Alberto Chemane, Pravin Giandhari, Devon Hore, Richard Ellis, Mike Mazoni and many more. Each performance will be about 15 minutes long,
