Its #HopeisPower project aims to provide immediate relief in the form of food parcels or assistance to areas that are in major distress, as well as providing support to businesses that have been impacted by the riots, to help them get back on their feet.

Hollywoodbets CSI manager Rasigan Naidoo explained that despite these difficult circumstances, communities have come together, “We have been united to help one another in the true sense of ubuntu. It is important for us to offer immediate relief and assist with the rebuilding of the communities in which we operate. Our thoughts are with those who have suffered loss or are facing distressing times.”
