UBUNTU Community Kitchen Equipment Needed
Project Name: Ubuntu Community Kitchen Equipment Needed
Allegation: Funds were solicited for kitchen equipment to support the Ubuntu Village community, but donations were not used as promised, suggesting possible fraud or misappropriation.
Key Issues:
Funds Raised for a Specific Purpose
- The campaign requested donations to purchase essential kitchen equipment (e.g., stoves, refrigerators, utensils) for a community kitchen.
- Contributors were led to believe their money would directly support food security and community meals.
No Evidence of Equipment Purchased
- Despite funds being collected, no kitchen equipment was delivered, or the project was abandoned.
- No financial reports, receipts, or proof of purchases were provided to donors.
Lack of Transparency & Accountability
- Donors who inquired about progress were ignored, given excuses, or blocked.
- Funds may have been diverted for personal use or unrelated expenses.
Signs of Fraudulent Activity
- False updates (if any) claiming progress that never materialized.
- No refunds issued despite the project’s failure.
- Exploitation of goodwill, as donors believed they were helping a legitimate cause.
Why This Suggests Fraud:
- Deceptive Fundraising: Money was collected under false pretenses.
- Theft by Conversion: Donations were not used for the stated purpose.
- Breach of Trust: The community and donors were misled.
Next Steps for Affected Donors:
- Gather Evidence: Save donation receipts, emails, screenshots of promises, and any communication.
- Report to Authorities:
- South African Fraud Agencies (if applicable): SAPS, National Consumer Commission.
- Online Fraud: IC3 (for digital payments).
- Spread Awareness: Share this report on scam-tracking platforms to warn others.

Feeding the hungry - the orphans - and those who help the rest of the community.
I am Michael Tellinger the founder of the UBUNTU movement. We have initiated a string of community projects in our town to get people to work together for the benefit of all in the community. At the end of every day those who participate in the community projects will get a good meal, a glass of lemonade, watch a free documentary or movie and other small benefits. The Community Kitchen is the heart of all these projects because this is where people will receive their daily meals. It is also where the 200+ orphans will get their daily meal after participating in the seedling growing project, learning to grow seeds and food, and recycling of plastic bottles. To feed all these people, we need some basic kitchen equipment which will allow the volunteer chef and helpers to cook the food and serve the people. The hall and all the tables and seats are in place, but we have almost no equipment in the kitchen to provide this service. All the appliances were vandalised and taken apart and the once pristine kitchen was turned into a dump. We scrubbed it and cleaned it up - re-installed lights and electricity after much electrical investigation to locate the correct wires and re-fitted the kitchen sink and water taps that were ripped out. We now have a basic kitchen with 2 workable surfaces and running water BUT, all we have is a 2-plate gas cooker that I provided and some borrowed pots. Please help us get some basic appliances to be able to provide this critical service to the people of our small town. There is about 70-80% unemployment in this town and this will provide a great relief to many while reducing the crime rate with it.
