Into The Light

Photography by Peter Bendheim

The works in this exhibition represent some of the best images of a number of years of doing work for the Ubuntu Community Chest, Durban. The Chest, 80 years old this year was founded in 1931 by the citizens of Durban, and spearheaded by then Mayor Greenacre.

To this day, it relies on donor support from individuals, companies and trusts. Some organizations have been supporting the Chest for the full 80 years of its existence. The Chest in turn helps support nearly 100 charities across Durban, ranging from the young, to the old, to the mentally challenged and the terminally ill. It has a proud history of volunteerism and non-corruption and is one of Durban’s most worthy causes.

The aim of this exhibition is to both celebrate the 80 years that the Ubuntu Community Chest, Durban has worked for the citizens of Durban, and also to create awareness of the valuable work it does.
