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.
