Ben Murray-Bruce, the chairman and Chief Executive Officer of The Silverbird Group will be attending the inaugural Tribes of Africa Fundraiser scheduled for Africa Day, May 26, 2012, in London.
The event, to take place at the prestigious Grange Tower Bridge Hotel, will be bringing the best of African personalities together in support of iROCK! UK, which aims to provide young people of ethnic backgrounds with work placements and employment opportunities.
We’re told Bruce confirmed his attendance, saying ‘In an age where attending school does not guarantee education, and education does not always mean attending school, as someone who believes in the need for young black men and women to educate themselves and work twice as hard as their white counterparts to get to positions of authority, I firmly support what Viola is trying to achieve with iROCK! UK‘.
Ben Murray-Bruce runs arguably one of the largest entertainment empires in Africa, The Silverbird Group.
Viola Ncube, the founder of iROCK! UK also said ‘We are extremely pleased, as a young social enterprise, to gather the support of such an important African media figure and look forward to seeing him as one of our guest.
