A Bewind Trust has been created with the following principle<br />
objectives:<br />
• To act as the legal and commercial trading agent of the TDT;<br />
• As a 9% equity shareholder (of which 2.5% is free carry) in TCWF the TDT will receive<br />
income through dividend pay-outs once the wind farm is fully operational and revenue<br />
generating;<br />
• The dividends will be used to fund initiatives identified by registered beneficiaries.<br />
These initiatives will positively impact the socio-economic status of the Amamfengu<br />
community respectively, particularly with regards to land development and housing as<br />
