American skateboarder Jason Vanporppal arriving in Cape Town in his skateboard journey across Africa to raise funds for Uganda's first permanent public skatepark.
American skateboarder Jason Vanporppal says an anonymous donor has contributed $1 500 (about R25 000) to his fundraising campaign for Uganda's first public skatepark, replacing the amount he previously alleged was misappropriated.
The donation comes days after Vanporppal publicly claimed that R25 000 intended for the project had been withheld by a woman who had volunteered to help secure sponsorships. He has since said he intends to pursue legal action.
In a series of new videos posted to social media, Vanporppal said the woman failed to return the money within the 24-hour deadline he had set and that she had blocked him on Facebook and WhatsApp.
He also alleged that he had uncovered information about her background during his own investigation but said he would not publicly reveal her identity beyond her first name, "Haley", because he did not want to jeopardise potential legal proceedings.
