Wealthy Man in South Africa Donates to Aid the Poor-Molly Paley

             The richest black man in South Africa has announced he is going to donate half of his net worth to the Motsepe Foundation which helps education and poverty. Forbe's estimates Patrice Motsepe is worth 2.65 billion dollars. He is a lawyer who founded a publicly traded mining conglomerate. Motsepe was inspired by American billionaires like Bill Gates and Warren Buffett who have donated their lives' earning to helping the needy. I think this is great news. We need people in the world who are willing to make a difference. Hopefully, this money will be well used in efforts to help the people of South Africa.
