PRESS RELEASE

DCD Group donates R10 000 to aid the fight against rhino poaching

29 October, 2014: The DCD Group has raised R10 000 in tackling the scourge of rhino poaching in South Africa through its 'Save the Rhino Campaign', where employees deposited R5 000 into special piggy banks that wereplaced across all DCD business units nationwide. Inspired by the generosity of its staff, the DCD Group matched this number.

DCD human resources manager Anli van den Berg notes that the company is committed to eliminating this endemic crime, which has resulted in at least 2 650 known rhino in the past six years losing their lives as a result of horrific mutilation. "Rhino poaching is a horrendous crime, where the animals are often mutilated, before being left to die a slow and painful death."

 Van den Berg believes that the funds will go a long way in making a positive difference to the safety of South Africa's rapidly depleting rhino population. "Thank you to everybody that participated in this initiative. Your generous donation helps to ensure the long term prosperity of this endangered species."
