Sliq Records Foundation ushers in Youth Month with the spirit of giving. What began as a simple community walk in 2023 has grown into something far more structured and impactful. The recent Charity Fun Walk, held in Virginia, marked the official launch of the Sliq Records Foundation – a formal vehicle for social impact.
Founded by Pule Chauke best known as Sliq Magagula and is the CEO of Sliq Records – a label home to artists Puleng Phofoolo, Blxxk Fargo, Moriente Mariachi, Keketso Thibile, Rare Breeds, Jourje to name a few. The Foundation is the natural progression of Magagula’s long-standing commitment to giving back. For the past six years, Sliq Records has quietly supported a range of grassroots initiatives in sports, education, music development, and food relief. The launch of the Foundation signals a new era — one that will see these efforts scale with intent and focus.
“I come from the same streets and situations many of these kids are living through. If you’re in a position to do something, then you should. This Foundation is about doing exactly that – consistently and with structure.”
This year’s walk raised funds towards the purchasing of school shoes, sanitary pads, and food parcels for underprivileged children across the Free State. More than a feel-good moment, the event was a strategic step in building a sustainable model for ongoing community support.
While the foundation has cemented its purpose and cause, it has also been supported by those with a generous hand including the likes of The Lounge, MphoTshepi Traders, Bahlakoana Laundry & Maintenance, Meloding Funeral Services, Woman In Me, Nyapotse Inc, Nazo Fuel, Dr 911 Lifestyle Bikers, Renergen, Tailor Made Trading, Coco Fino, Virginia Hot Spot, General Boboski Group, Run FS, and 057 Café.
“We’re not chasing headlines or handshakes. We’re building something that lasts. This is just the beginning,” Magagula says.
The Sliq Records Foundation will be formally launched on the 28th of June 2025 and will continue to expand its footprint, focusing on structured community development in arts, education, sport, and essential relief.
