Following President Cyril Ramaphosa's call for all South Africans to unite in the battle against the Covid-19, aQuellé has donated R500,000 towards the newly established Solidarity Fund.

Administered through the private sector, it will complement the work already being done by government.

“It’s a challenging time where we are called to be united, committed and courageous and we trust that our contribution is a start and will create ripples of change.

“Let us all join together with our president in the prayer for our country, Nkosi Sikelel’ iAfrika,” he said.
