A CATALYST FOR SOCIAL PHILANTRHOPY
THE SIBAYA COMMUNITY TRUST, FORMERLY KNOWN AS THE AFRISUN KZN COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT TRUST, WAS ESTABLISHED IN APRIL 1998 WITH THE INTENTION OF BEING A CATALYST FOR SOCIAL PHILANTHROPY IN THE AREA.
The funds distributed by the Sibaya Community Trust are received in the form of dividends paid through Afrisun KZN (Pty) Limited, trading as Sibaya Casino & Entertainment Kingdom, in which the Trust holds a 9.3% share.
As a caring corporate citizen with a major focus on service, we strive to make a difference in our community by implementing improvements to existing facilities and infrastructure, as well as undertaking development projects.
Projects in the social and community development, health, and education sectors are considered, and the Trust is audited annually.

To date, the Trust has contributed over 250 million Rands to organisations across eThekwini, reinforcing our commitment to improving the lives of all members of the community.
At Sibaya Community Trust, our unwavering commitment to overcoming poverty and fostering sustainable development stems from a deep concern for the individuals and families living in and around our communities. For many, daily life presents a constant struggle—whether it’s access to education, healthcare, or basic necessities. We believe in empowering these communities by addressing their immediate needs while also creating long-term opportunities for growth and self-sufficiency.
Through strategic initiatives, partnerships, and a dedicated team, we aim to uplift the lives of those most in need. We are focused on building a foundation for lasting change, ensuring that the people we serve not only survive but thrive. Our work is driven by a shared vision of a future where every individual has the chance to reach their full potential, and where communities are resilient, self-reliant, and prosperous.
