All proceeds from the event will be donated to HIV\AIDS related initiatives and organisations throughout the country.
Addressing a media conference at Botswana Craft on Thursday, Wesside entertainment Managing Director, Olivier Prentout, told reporters they are in consultation with NACA and representatives of key Non Governmental Organisations to identify, before the concert, the donation process towards various Community Based Organisations. To ensure transparency and accountability, Orange Botswana has appointed auditors, Ernst and Young.
