What Is PMCF
Pensele Multi Cultural Foundation (PMCF) is a community-rooted, non-profit initiative in Bushbuckridge, Mpumalanga. Founded by award-winning artist and cultural leader Welcome “Pensele” Ubisi, the foundation uses arts, culture, and heritage as practical tools for youth and community development.
