The King David Schools’ Foundation (KDSF) is an organisation that raises funds to assist deserving learners in the King David schools and to finance an Outreach Programme that supports disadvantaged schools, mainly in Alexandra. On Sunday morning, 1st November an event was organised at the Lion Park, under the auspices of the King David Schools’ Foundation, to name two of the precious white lion cubs. The special guests were the Bizhub Highveld Lions cricket team, who were accorded the honour of naming the magnificent and rare white cubs, as a thank you to the team for attending the SA Sporting Legends Cocktail Party fundraiser organised earlier in the year by the KDSF.
After a short introduction, Neil McKenzie, the captain of the Bizhub Highveld Lions, announced that the male cub would be named “Stevie”, in honour of Steven Cooke’s record-breaking innings of 390 runs in a recent first-class match, and that the female cub would be called “Passion”, since that word summed up the determination and enthusiasm of his cricket team.
All then enjoyed a delicious lunch, provided by Stan and Pete Caterers, and after this all participants, including the fledgling cricket team from Ithute Primary School (one of the KDSF’s Outreach schools), were treated to a game drive through the park.
The outing proved a great success with even the weather proving a co-operative ally to the organisers.
