Mega Sound shows ‘mega love’ to girl child

- BY SETSABILE NKAMBULE

MBABANE – Entertainm­ent stable, Mega Sound has shown ‘mega love’ to the girl child through a donation of pads worth E1 200.

This initiative by the Times of Eswatini was inspired by comedian ‘Dr Shakes’ and is meant to ensure that the girl child in the kingdom had at least a three months’ supply of sanitary pads.

Mega Lounge Co-owner Samkelo Zulu stated that the group, consisting of other DJs, did not want to be only known for dishing out great music and organising events but also for their contributi­on in helping emaSwati who needed assistance.

He said such campaigns gave companies and individual­s the opportunit­y to be of assistance to people they would have not been able to reach.

“We are happy to have been able to join the initiative. Being of assistance to emaSwati always makes us happy. We are hoping that with this donation the girl child will be able to get assisted,” he said.

Zulu expressed that Mega Sound hoped the pads would assist young women and school-going children by ensuring that they were not left out or missed anything at school as result of being on their monthly periods and without sanitary towels.

He said he also hoped the initiative would be inspiratio­nal and encouraged others to help where they could. Zulu further mentioned that they also had other (Corporate Social Investment) CSI initiative­s that they engaged in every year. He then urged

Mega Sound is one of the country’s renowned entertainm­ent stables which houses big names including award-winning DJs, in the likes of Zulu D, Matamza and Bloss.

Others include DJ Smish, Yugo and Supa CDQ.

The stable is known for hosting the Mega Sound Picnic and other big shows.

The initiative of the sanitary pads campaign was inspired by comedian ‘Dr Shakes’, who on his birthday, decided to celebrate it by donating 136 sanitary towels to the girl child.

Currently, companies who are part of the campaign include the Times of Eswatini, Puma Filling Station Mbabane, SifisoSeth­u Hydraulics Engineerin­g, Sibebe Resort and Mega Sound. Companies are urged to join the campaign by also donating sanitary pads.
