Overview
- Sentebale, founded in 2006 to support HIV/AIDS-affected youth in Southern Africa, is operating with just three trustees, the minimum required for operation, after Nerissa Naidu's resignation.
- Prince Harry and Prince Seeiso stepped down as patrons in March following governance disputes and trustee resignations linked to conflicts with chair Dr. Sophie Chandauka.
- The UK Charity Commission has launched an ongoing investigation into the charity’s governance, examining allegations of harassment, bullying, and poor oversight.
- Dr. Sophie Chandauka has accused Prince Harry of using the charity for personal PR purposes, claims which Harry has denied, calling them 'blatant lies.'
- The charity remains in turmoil, with its strategic direction and leadership under intense scrutiny as it navigates this period of instability.
