Motsepe Donates $1m To Fight Ebola by Nobody: 8:08pm On Oct 29, 2014 |
SOUTH African billionaire Patrice Motsepe has donated $1m to the fight against Ebola in Guinea, one of three West African countries which are battling the disease. The donation, announced by Mr Motsepe’s office on Tuesday, is the largest on record so far by an African individual, according to a United Nations (UN) tally. It coincided with admissions that the world and Africa have responded too slowly since the Ebola epidemic broke out in earnest in March. The official death toll stands at almost 5,000 people and is rising. "The donation to the Ebola Fund will assist Guinea with clinical management, social mobilisation, medical co-ordination and other key mechanisms of controlling the disease," the statement from African Rainbow Minerals (ARM), Mr Motsepe’s mining company, said. It added that the money came from ARM and his foundation. http://www.bdlive.co.za/national/2014/10/29/motsepe-donates-1m-to-fight-ebola 2 Likes
