Marius Page designed the sculpture with Patrick Gamedala, Shadrack Ncugutu and Moses Seretlo, who were involved in the creation of this work of art. The auction runs until 3 July 2010 and the starting bid is R35000. It can be viewed at the OR Tambo International Airport Voyager Lifetime/Platinum check-in counter.

The auction site will contribute to the charity by waiving its usual commission, which can be between 2-5% of the selling price. To make it easier for prospective bidders, a permanent link called Charity Auction: 2010 Art is on the top left hand side of the home page.
