A former Protea cricketer and a high school student recently managed to raise a large sum of money in aid of the Tygerberg Hospital Children\u2019s Trust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vernon Philander, an allrounder, and University of Cape Town (UCT) online high school learner Tahirah Naicker recently competed on the Sanlam Moola-Money<\/span> gameshow on television where the pair managed to raise R50 000 for the children\u2019s trust \u2013 a charity chosen by Vernon. The cricketer is also a Tutu Tyger ambassador for the children\u2019s trust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asked about her experience on the gameshow, Tahirah responded: \u201cI am so grateful to have been on the show and learn about financial literacy in a fun and exciting way. It was such a surreal experience to have been able to help raise funds for charity, meet celebs, and of course, be on television.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tahirah and Vernon went up against Miss SA, Lalela Mswane, and a fellow UCT high school learner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vernon was paired with Tahirah after she won against other Sanlam UCT Online High School Scholarship Programme recipients to appear on the show. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was super excited to be partnered with Vernon. He was really fun, supportive, down to earth and an all-round amazing teammate.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The trickiest part of the competition was having to think on your feet and hit the buzzer with lightning speed before your opponent, but once our team started gaining momentum I felt super confident that we were going to get that moola, Tahirah explains. Asked about how she feels raising so much money, she answered: \u201cI am incredibly honoured and humbled to have had the opportunity to help raise R50 000 for the trust and raise awareness for that cause.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tahirah and Vernon appeared on the premi\u00e8re of Season 2 of Sanlam Moola-Money<\/span> on Sunday 10 July.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
