The funding, announced during the launch of the National Adult Literacy for Empowerment Campaign 2026 to 2030 at Lovedale TVET College in the Eastern Cape, will see each province receive 10 million rand to support training and infrastructure upgrades.

The Oceans 8 Charity Swim has raised more than 3 million rand since 2023 for organisations supporting conservation, education, rescue services and community development across South Africa.

Organisers say the initiative was created to help non profit organisations facing funding challenges, with this year’s event once again expected to support a range of community focused causes.
