Richest Black Man In South Africa Donates Wealth - Lysette Barrera





Patrice Motsepe is the richest black man in South Africa. The lawyer is South Africa's first and only black billionaire. Motsepe donated millions to improve the lives of the poor, which will be financially handled by the Motsepe Foundation to use for education and health issues.

Motsepe made his wealth in the mining industry, and also owns a Pretoria-based football club called Mamelody Sundowns. Motsepe says he was inspired to donate by Bill Gates and Warren Buffet, who encourage fellow billionaires to give to charity. Motsepe was also inspired by "Ubuntu", which is an African belief that translates to "I am because you are", which means individuals need each other to be fulfilled.

    This is such a nice and generous thing for that man to do! It's great to see somebody who is well off do something for others :)
