Supporting Charity

South Africa is in the news a lot lately with the imminent legalization of the online casino gambling industry – this time though the internet gambling issue s taking a back seat to the announcement that the stepmother of United States Barack Obama, Kezia Obama, will play bingo with Nelson Mandela in efforts to raise charity funds for the an organization in the region that aims at fighting malnutrition in South Africa. The organization, Operation Hunger, is doing valuable volunteer work in the region and Obama’s stepmother’s slight celebrity status will surely raise some needed funds for this charitable cause.


The online casino gambling industry has really made headlines over the past year or so because of the South African government’s attempts to find regulations that will provide the utmost protection to South African citizens once foreign internet casinos are licensed to operate within the market. Land and internet bingo is a much less controversial issue – the game is well accepted in the region and, in fact, in many parts of the world. Bingo as a game dates back years and years and can be found in varying forms in a variety of international cultures. In this instance, Kezia Obama will embrace the game of bingo, along with Mandela for the express purpose of raising funds and awareness for Operation Hunger.


Kezia only had positive things to say about the imminent game – she has an entirely favorable opinion of Mandela and his work over the past years to better the region and secure more needed developments in South Africa. All of the money generated from her bingo games will go to the chosen charity – she will play many games across the length of her visit to the region.
