CAPE TOWN, 1 February 2010 - Breadline Africa, a local charity that believes in giving a hand-up not a hand-out, wants to take you out to dinner with one of your favourite local celebs. All you need to do is to make a small, or big, donation towards alleviating poverty in Africa and you could win an evening out with Just Jinjer, Heinz Winckler, Sasha Martinengo or 94.7 Highveld Stereo's Bailey Schneider.

The competition runs from 1 - 28 February 2010, and to enter simply donate to Breadline Africa via SMS (36010) or its website, http://www.breadlineafrica.org/celebs. The more you donate, the better your chances to win the prize. And don't forget to choose which celeb you would like to meet if you win: you do this by including the correct code (JINJER, HEINZ, SASHA or BAILEY) if you enter by SMS, or checking the appropriate tick box if you enter online.

Four lucky winners will be whisked off for a fun-filled evening with a top SA celeb, or group of celebs, who are also doing their bit to eradicate poverty in Africa - for once and for all. Flights are included, and you'll get an exclusive culinary experience with one of your favourite local celebrities!
Breadline Africa is involved in a range of projects across Southern Africa, all aimed at helping communities become sustainable and enabling them to help themselves. Most of the projects involve placing refurbished shipping containers in disadvantaged areas to be used as classrooms, soup kitchens, clinics, libraries or ablution blocks.

"We are thrilled at the support we have received from these South African role models. The competition winners are guaranteed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity - as well as changing lives through their donations to Breadline Africa," said Marianna Boguslavsky, Online Marketing Manager, Breadline Africa.

MXit, the global mobile social networking and instant messenger, has joined forces with Breadline Africa to help generate support in the fight against poverty in Africa, by promoting the competition to its three-quarters of a million music lovers.

The MXit Music community will be encouraged to open their hearts and SMS the short-code, adding their support to stop African poverty in its tracks - while having the opportunity to engage for an evening, with some of South Africa's best music talent.

Look out for further competition details and information on MXit in February 2010.
