Founder and Chairperson of the Motsepe Foundation Dr Patrice Motsepe says no citizen deserves to suffer as a result of the rising cost of living and increase in poverty levels that continue to ravage rural and township communities. The Foundation in conjunction with African Rainbow Minerals held its annual gifts allocation ceremony in Sandton, north of Johannesburg.
Recipients, who included Royal Houses and Faith Based Organisations as well as private entities, received gifts in monetary form. This will be utilised for their projects to uplift the poor and marginalised in their communities.
Motsepe says the Foundation has a huge obligation to double its efforts to fight poverty but corruption remains a challenge.
“It’s not about the money but the challenges of our country are enormous. As if they are not enough, we have millions of people who are unemployed. We have got problems of load shedding, serious problems of corruption, potholes and various others. If we look at the failures and the weaknesses, there are many of them. We have to deal with them.
