Prince Harry’s African charity Sentebale dealt new blow weeks after duke’s shocking exit
NY Post
Sentebale, the African charity Prince Harry founded in 2006 before he resigned in March, has been dealt a fresh blow as one of its new board members has shockingly quit just weeks after being appointed.
Nerissa Naidu’s abrupt departure has contributed to the major ongoing internal turmoil the youth-focused organization has faced in recent months.
She decided to leave her post just weeks after being appointed on March 25, leaving just three trustees in place — the minimum recommended number of board members.
The charity told The Post that it has been “a particularly difficult time to have joined the organization,” though Naidu, who hails from South Africa, declined to comment.
The entrepreneur has “chosen to step down out of respect for her other professional commitments,” Sentebale said in a statement, adding that it has appreciated “her tremendous support and insights in recent weeks and her interest in Sentebale over a long period of time.”
Her shock departure leaves Iain Rawlinson, Dr. Bhakti Hansoti and Dr. Sophie Chandauka as the remaining three trustees in place.
