Make Games SA seeks funding for underprivileged SA game dev students

South African game development community, Make Games SA is striving to help two aspiring and underprivileged university students who wish to embark on careers in game development.

The amount required is R22,728.00 and so far US$636 has been raised (±R7,000).

Hanli Geyser, the head of WITS’ Digital Arts department in the School of Arts, explained the situation:

Make Games SA wants to sponsor Thsetso Radebe and Tumelo Thabane the funds to attend the Game Design course at University of the Witwatersrand in 2014. They were both raised in Sebokeng, a township in southern Gauteng. They have exceptional matric results, and show a lot of promise and passion for game design. The state bursaries will pay for all of their other courses but they desperately need funds for them to take the two Game Design courses in 2014.

Donations can be made via PayPal or directly into the Make Games SA bank account.
