CEOs night out under the stars in Sandton #CEOSleepOutZA

South Africa's CEOs joined the global challenge to raise awareness about the plight of homeless children, by sleeping under the stars on one of the coldest nights.

This was the first time South Africa partook in this global challenge and have raised over R23 million for the charity organisation Girls & Boys Town.

While the CEOs may never meet the children, their actions will never be forgotten!

The event was organised by Radio 702 and Sun International.

#CEOSleepOutZA will raise almost R25m for the homeless. We salute all the CEO's. They @lead_sapic.twitter.com/4rUwlqJrBU
