OUR STORY

The origin of the FOUNDERS

I remember as a seven-year-old working in my father's grocery store, seeing poor members of our community receiving free groceries from my mother. My parents also regularly paid for the school and university fees of less fortunate children from our communities.

I was also a beneficiary of various people, black and white, in South Africa and in the United States who educated, trained, mentored, and inspired me and whose faith and belief in me contributed to my success in my profession, business, and elsewhere. The same can be said about my wife, Precious and we are deeply indebted to them and many more.

Precious and I recognize the huge responsibility and duty that the Motsepe family has to poor, unemployed, disabled, women, youth, workers, and marginalised South Africans. We also have an ongoing obligation of nation building, uniting black and white South Africans and contributing towards making Africa and the world a better place.

Most of our donations have been private but the need and challenges are great, and we hope that our giving will encourage others in Africa and other emerging economies to give and make the world a better place.
