Restoring Dignity

Fortune Frenzy raised R859,500 to replace pit toilets at Vumuthando Primary, turning thrilling cash prizes into lasting impact for school sanitation in KwaZulu-Natal.

Restoring Dignity
From 14 July to 2 August 2025, LottoStar and East Coast Radio brought listeners the thrill of Fortune Frenzy — 3 weeks of unadulterated adrenaline with R1 million in cash up for grabs every weekday. But beyond all the excitement and unforgettable wins, this campaign had a powerful purpose: helping restore dignity through improved school sanitation.
At the heart of Fortune Frenzy was a mission to support Breadline Africa's work to replace unsafe pit toilets with clean, safe, and sustainable toilet facilities at schools in KwaZulu-Natal.
