Wine and wisdom fundraiser raises R15 000 for CSC

A night of wine, wisdom, and warm hearts.

Laughter, learning, and community spirit came together at the recent Wine and Wisdom fundraising evening hosted by the Christian Social Council (CSC), where over R15 000 was raised to support the organisation’s vital social services.

The event, held on June 27, brought together teams from across eMalahleni for a spirited quiz night filled with fun and friendly competition, all in the name of charity.

Tickets were sold at R250 each, and the event sold out quickly, thanks to the continued support from residents and businesses.

Mfundo Shongwe and Sifiso Msithini enjoyed the friendly competition at the CSC fundraiser, showing off their trivia skills for a good cause.

All proceeds from the evening will go directly toward the operational costs of the CSC Witbank office, ensuring that the organisation can continue offering counselling, social work, and child protection services in the region.

The quiz was hosted by the ever-energetic Marcia Keen, who volunteered her time as MC for the night. Her engaging presence and witty commentary kept the crowd entertained from start to finish.

“We’re so grateful to Marcia,” said Pinky Lekoba from the CSC. “She brought an incredible energy to the event and truly made the evening special, all without asking for a cent. CSC Witbank is deeply grateful for the ongoing support from individuals, families, and businesses in our community who make events like this possible. Your generosity helps us make a lasting impact,” said Pinky.
